I was trying to go from stock to Cleanrom 8.1. After installing the modem and flashing the ROM I can't view my SMS messages which is a problem because I have Google two step authentication on. My phone vibrates, but I can't see the text message anywhere. As a result, I can't get into the phone =/
The last thing I did was flash d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip however I've since factory reset it and it still doesn't work.

I have a rooted phone I bought from someone and it was failing the Samsung updates that came to the phone. So I installed Kies and was able to update the firmware to Android Version 4.0.4 using the computer.
The wifi is connected fine to my home network. It's just when I open the Web icon, it freezes and the screen goes black and eventually I get a message that says "Unfortunately, Web has stopped." I have to hit ok. Sometimes after that I also get a message that says TW Launcher has stopped working.
How can I fix this? The main thing I use the phone for is internet.
Thanks in advance. I am a newbie to the Androids and hope I didn't really mess up the phone by updating the firmware.
First thing I would do is wipe the data/cache from the browser app, and see if that fixes it. If not, you could try another browser, or try a factory reset (will wipe user data/apps).
Yesterday I went through the process of rooting, unlocking and flashing my GS3. I used CWM to make a backup of my stock rom (which I then saved a copy on my computer) and then flashed to Paranoid Android, which I loved. I used Titanium Backup to load my contacts up, and got prompted with a reboot. Once I did, I kept getting android.process.acore errors, and eventually narrowed it down to Titanium and my contacts (wasn't hard, only thing installed). I decided to flash to stock and backup my contacts to Google, but everytime I enter CWM recovery to restore, it reboots before I have a chance to. Both entering via Rom Manager and into recovery mode. I have used a downloaded stock rom to try and flash back to stock in Odin, and continually get error messages. I would just stick with PA, but every 5 seconds brings up a android.process.acore error because it is still trying to DL my contacts. Anyone have any ideas/hints/tips/etc that I should try?
Nevermind, finally found a stock rom that worked for me.
Update: It turns out it was not a software problem, and had nothing to do with my root, CWM, or PA. After flashing to stock, the problem persisted, even after a full reset and update to 4.1.2. Took the phone to Best Buy, since that is where I have my insurance through. They told me that the power button had gone faulty, which makes sense cause pressing it will prompt power off options, and slightly touching it will lock the phone. According to the guys there, it's a problem they've seen on a few S3's lately. So, I have a refurb on the way via Geek Squad. I jokingly asked for a S4 or One as a refurb replacement, but sadly don't think that'll happen. Anyway, figured i'd update this to let everyone know just in case you encounter the same symptoms.
I'm truly lost for how to fix this. I'm trying to restore my phone to factory and I've wound up with major issues with the phone when it starts up. I get immediately those messages you get when a process dies: "Unfortunately, the process com.google.phone has stopped." I get this message for a huge range of apps, as far as I can tell it may be all or most of the built-in system apps, one after the other. I can't access settings or anything.
I tried restarting into fastboot and using "flash-all.bat" to wipe everything and install the stock images, then booted into recovery and attempted to wipe the data. I got everything wiped, or so I thought, but then the same problem still occurs when it starts up. How is this possible? Surely there could be nothing remaining of the old system on there at this stage?
After you flash factory images, there's no need to go in recovery again. Also, when setting up google account, don't sync app data.
Ill try to be as descriptive as possible
Zopo ZP820 running 4.2.2
Phone worked fine the other day, went to use it yesterday morning, kept saying all running processes forced quit over and over, all google services, etc.
If i reboot the phone, it keep showing the same 4 Gmail emails, the same 4 text messages. If i go in and physically delete all of the emails and text messages, they are gone. If i reboot the phone, they all come back.
Also went in and uninstalled every single app on phone that was allowable, basically it went back to stock apps, even uninstalled all updates to all google services, etc.
Reboot the phone, everything is back to the way it was, apps and all, and this is after removing the SD card and powering off and rebooting.
Tried to do a factory reset from the settings screen, it reboots into recovery mode, the only options i had were to wipe cache and reset data/cache, when done, i reboot, and yet again it goes back to the same exact way.
It is almost as if the entire phone restores itself every reboot to the same setup.
Also tried using newest SP Flash Tools with 3 different versions of the ROM for my phone, the original stock one, the updated stock one and a custom MIUI one. I go thru the entire process for the two stock ones, it says it formatted and reflashed, but reboot again and it is back to same one that is corrupt.
If i try to use the MIUI one using the recovery option holding power and vol down, when i choose the zip file for the MIUI, it says installation aborted.And what is ieven more odd is that if i reinstall all of the programs or even new apps, if i reboot they are all gone as if they were never installed.
Is there a way that the phone can be totally wiped so that no trace of any files on the phone exist at all? in SP Tools there was an auto format and manual format i did both, but got the same results
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Good day, I dont know what happened to my phone. I'm just charging and this message popped out.
"Encryption was interrupted and can't be completed. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accesible.
To resume using your phone you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up on your Google account." and a reset phone button.
I already did reset the phone, but the said message is still there,
i tried many things like flashing twrp through fastboot and then format data but it says cant mount storage,
flashed stock rom thru miFlash but same message appears, flashed custom rom but all apps are crashing and rebooting, flashed china rom still the message is there.
any suggestions? need help badly.
thankyou.
Sound alike the devices corrupted its self. Known to happen with Xiaomi devices. The hardware just ends up failing after a short amount of time.
Time to send it back for repair.
