Ok so I have Vahalla Final flashed through Odin as my first ROM on this phone. Everything has been great for a few days and I flashed the lighting tweak today with no issues. Just a little while ago I made a backup and flashed the Linda voices and the Ki3 modem bc I saw where the KJ6 didn't allow long text messages. When I flashed the modem some blue words popped up really zoomed in on another screen then it was done. The phone was laggy so i tried to delete everything and restore like I had done numerous times on old phone.
I did a factory reset then cache then tried to format system. These are all steps i used to successfully take on other phone. It won't let me format the system though. Says: "format_volume failed to mount "/system" error formatting system!"
Where did I go wrong? Am I supposed to do some more wacky things on this phone for a restore? Everything else on it seems to take 20 more steps

CWM versions prior to those in bhndven's Slightly Modified Stock kernels have a problem with mounting/unmouting the /system partition in GB. I believe you can backup and restore user data, but nothing on the /system partition.
Flashing the KI3 modem shouldn't have had an effect like you're describing, though. I can't say I've had an issue like that at all or heard of people having that issue after flashing the modem.

So everything should run fine after trying the actual restore of my backup even though i couldn't format the system? I have a backup but don't want to restore over data that wasn't deleted or whatever. If that's possible.
How the hell do i know which modem to use anyways? There's like 10 to choose from
Uh yeah I forget it tries to format system anyways when restoring... and it couldn't. So what do i do? Re-flash the GB starter pack way through Odin?

As for the modem, I'm using KI3 on mine. You already did a factory reset so you should be able to just re-flash Valhalla.
Trying now. Does Vahalla automatically change all the mounts that the other roms require changing before flashing?

I'm not sure about that one. Definitely go check the original Valhalla post to make sure you don't have to set the mounts.
Guess you don't have too. I'm using it now. thanks for the help

Hey I still have an issue. I reflashed Vahalla through CWM and it was fine at first all the way through setting everything up like it was before. Ran smooth. I went to the market this morning and checked for updates and Google Search, Maps and Superuser updated. Phone started acting really laggy again. Scrolls really slow, pulls up GO Launcher menu slowly, etc.
It seems to me that the re flash installed over the existing data that was left on the phone since i couldn't format my system.
My new question is, what's the best way to re do everything including formatting the system if I can't format through CWM? If I flash through Odin does that format everything? Or am I better of just going through the whole GB Starter Pack process again?? Or will that even work now since i've already done it?

Did you restore your previous apps are do fresh installs?
Restored w titanium..... ugh.. Flashing a new zip doesn't wipe anything right? Just installs over whats already there right?

If you flashed and "it was fine at first all the way through setting everything up"...
try reflashing as you did before. Do fresh installs on as much as you can ONE AT A TIME. And then restore ONE AT A TIME what you can't do fresh installs on. It sounds like one of your backups is not agreeing with the system. Install/Restore ONE AT A TIME and play with phone between each to see if you can determine which backup your system is not agreeing with.
Did that make sense??
EDIT: And make sure to wipe dalvik cache and cache partition before you reflash as is always recommended.

Yeah it makes sense thanks. I will do this despite how impatient I am (see where that got me). I'm just got spoiled on another phone that was way way easier to work with. Weren't as many options to screw up either.
Any suggestions on how I can get my system to format for future reference?
I feel like it's Go Launcher for some reason. In cased you missed it though, I didn't start having lag issues until I flashed the Ki3 modem and linda voices one after another. I have a good backup but I can't format system to restore it.

I have never formatted my system nor read anybody wanting/needing to format their system. A factory reset is what people use to clean the gremlins along with wiping dalvik cache and cache partition. Bhundven has recommended flashing the same rom twice in a row I believe to help make sure all installs correctly (I think he was talking about bootloaders when he recommended that).
But a factory reset is what I think you are trying to accomplish with formatting your system.

I use GoLauncher on Vahalla Black with no problems. I think it has to do with your backup... not the app itself.
I wiped caches, did factory reset, tired to format system again with no luck and accidentally restarted before re-flashing Vahalla. Which, I guess I didn't really need to do anyways if it's an App causing the issue. I guess the factory reset would be enough. Smooth again so i will try some fresh reinstalls now. Thanks for the noob patience

Ok cool. In another phones forum a system wipe is actually suggested a lot. I think... I did it every time on the G2x before installing any new roms or backups. I wasn't doing it at first but started after someone suggested it. But yeah I think the factoy reset is enough. Seems to be enough so far.

I am a noob too. No worries. Vahalla Black is solid. Backups are tricky. Fresh installs are the way to go.
Newbe to vzw Samsung Galaxy s3.... I kind of enjoyed the TouchWiz features in the vzw store. Can someone point me in the right direction for a touchwiz rom with root where I can use the hand swipe to do a screen snapshot, etc, etc?
Currently I have a aopk rom on my phone that someone else loaded on it. Unless I am missing something, it doesn't seem to have touchwiz.
Can someone help a fellow out?
Thanks in advance.
I like this one. It has everything you asked for and it's cleaned of the bloat.

You can test and see what you prefer.
Stable rms I have tested: cleanrom as stated above ans synergy.
....but just flash different ones and see what you like. That's part of the fun!

Thanks for the replies... I see Clean and Synergy. I currently have Synergy on my TB. Right now on my s3, it came to me preloaded with AOPK. But that doesn't have TouchWiz. Which version of Synergy would be considered the most stable? It's hard for me to tell which versions are which. I did see someone post something about a version 1.7, but for the life of me I don't see that.
R73 is the most current 4.0 build. It's fan-friggen-tastic! 4.1 jb build us just beginning, so wouldn't recommend that one for you. Click the current build link and it will list all recent versions.

Device came preloaded with AOPK. I have not activated it yet. It's to replace my HTC Thunderbolt. I was wanting to put on a TouchWiz rom and load that first before trying to activate. Then once activated, I was going to get all my apps back from the market, etc.
I downloaded Synergy 1.7 from the download area. I copied it to a UTILITIES folder on the internal card. I did a MD5 checksum prior to installing Synergy and the checksum was perfect.
I then went to install zip from internal sd. I navigated to the UTILITIES folder, and selected the Synergy zip file. It then did some processing for a few minutes and told me it was done.
It was at that time I rebooted the device, and from there it sat on that Synergy boot animation.
I then tried several battery pulls after it was at the boot animation for 30 minutes or so. But they all just sat at the boot animation. Finally I attempted to get into recovery mode. I am not sure if I selected the proper keys, but used Power button, Home button, and Volume down button.
That's how I ended up where I am now.
Sorry I didn't see your message until just now. I will try again and report back in just a sec.
Did you make a backup before the flash? Did you wipe data before the flash? Have you been able to get into recovery as I mentioned above?
Ok, it took a few times, but I am now in Recovery. Should I do a "wipe data/factory reset"?

First time flashing to CM 10.1.3 Stable. Came from stock rooted touchwiz.
Created Nandroid backups via twrp. Flashed via goomanager/twrp.
Flashed perfectly fine. But realized I had issues with my contacts backup. Tried to flash back to the nandroid backup and it never worked. It got stuck and the GS3 Cyanogenmod screen. Battery pulled and booted into recovery to flash the CM rom again. Went fine and then realized I could not use text messaging since the messaging app would force close instantly.
Tried to install Go sms since this is what i normally use. Got a -24 error which i solved by deleted com. data from the data/data folder. Was able to install it but now text messaging will not work at all. My backups of texts will complete the restore but it wont show up on the phone.
I tried to update the SMSC number as well to no avail.
I have no idea what to do now.
HELP!
Did you do a full wipe in recovery before you installed the new rom? I am sure you did, just throwing ideas out

Yes via goomanager options right before initiating the flash.
Thanks for the help. Trying to get this fixed.
Just discovered that texts through google voice work. I'm guessing because this is handled via data and not normal sms.
EDIT: Realized that was confusing. I have a seperate google voice number (for work) and the text messages for that work.
Also I am slowly discovering that every app gets the -24 error when I go to install it.
Could this have something to do with it? Typically all I have to do is delete the com.application folder of whatever I am trying to install and it allows me to install it. This worked on go sms for install but sms is still not working.
I would go into recovery, do a full wipe ( I wipe 3 times, probably overkill, but has always faired well for me) reinstall the rom and gapps, then wipe cache before you reboot. Seems like you have something corrupted and you are about going to have to start over to get it right.

I don't want to have to delete anything to get go sms to work. That must be happening because I have old data.
I wanted to start with cyanogenmod on a stable version. 10.1.3 is the most recent stable.

Guys, I'm running Purity room with Franco kernel and PA GAPPS. I've had this problem recently, where my room is running perfectly. But when ever I do a factory reset through CWM 6.0.4.5 and reboot, the error "phone had stopped" pops up and all I can do is long press the power button to reboot into recovery and restore a backup.
Any ideas guys?

I would suggest redownloading purity and Gapps and franco kernel (You just never know). Flash them individually and boot into the phone and see which one is causing you problems; after a factory reset with wiping cache/ dalvik. If this does not work try a different ROM (I always keep a stock rooted/deodexed on my phone), if it still persist I would do a full wipe start over from scratch.

Thanks for the reply, however, Ive already done the following:
1- Wipe Data/Factory reset > Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
2- Wipe Data/Factory reset > Install Purity (with/without GAPPS) > Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
3- Wipe Data/Factory reset > Install Puroty (with/without Franco kernel) > Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
4- Wipe Data/Factory reset > Installed other ROM> Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
5- Wipe Dialler/SIM toolkit > Wipe Data/Factory reset > Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
Cache/Dalvik Cache cleared every time.
The old backup still works, I even dirty flashed the new Purity version over it and works ok. The problem only arises after Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
Couldn't find any other solutions, any other suggestions?
Well I would say that if it works after your backup and then dirtyflashing a newer version of purity then leave it go, this is probably not the best option but if it works.... My other option in my previous post was to completely wipe the phone and start over as in back to stock and start over.
Something could've corrupted, who knows, maybe something went wrong with your installation of a bootloader. You said you are running CWM 6.x.x.x, try flashing the stock bootloader and then reflashing a different bootloader I suggest TWRP but there are other options. I used CWM on my nexus and it did it's purpose but when I flashed TWRP onto my nexus 5 it was just more clean and it had touch, go figure.
I'd try using Titanum Backup and clearing the data of the phone, dialer storage, etc after the reset. Had a similar situation the other day that doing that resolved. Hope that helps. Problems like this can be annoying.
Just thought of this: Could be your recovery. Might not be wiping things correctly. If what I suggested doesn't help, then try TWRP. I've found very few things that TWRP is not better at vs CWM (on officially supported phones).
OK try to install cyanogen mode and let me know what happened

CM is usually the go to to try something else because A) It's usually the most stable of aftermarket Roms due to the larger community and user support B) been around the longest / out for the most phones so is more well known C) it's different than AOSP so if you have issues with AOSP AND CM then you know something is really going on. That being said, CM is boring and plain to me. I appreciate that they are a good base to work off of but just by itself - yawn.
There have been a time or 2 that something would not flash through TWRP or CWM is recommended by the dev, though this is few and far between on this phone. I mod phones all the time (have done over 100 different ones) and sometimes things just work better on one than the other for various reasons.

The problem im facing doesnt seem to be related to stability .... can try twrp though to make sure there isnt a problem with flashing or resetting through CWM.... Should I directly install TWRP over CWM or should I first reset my phone with stock and then root again before installing TWRP?

The stability idea was referring to the other poster's confusion over why someone suggested trying CM in the first place.
You can install TWRP over CWM with no issues. I typically just fastboot the recovery image, though if you aren't comfortable with that, then install the app GooManager and installing the OpenRecovery script in there will do the trick for you. No reason to go all the way back to stock at all for that. If I had a $1 for every time I had issues because of some file / recovery /formatting incompatibility, then I'd probably be able to take my wife out to a fancy dinner. Heh (I work on a lot of phones, it's my job. ) If you need help with either method, feel free to hit me up on Hangouts or make sure to post quote me because otherwise I'll forget to check back on the thread. Good luck.

Ah, that sucks man. Ok, well, next things to try include:
Wipe cache + dalvik
Go to Advanced / Fix Permissions
Reboot
Do you have a PIN on your SIM card? I was reading through the Purity thread and some were saying they had your problem and disabling that resolved.

It looks like at this point, it's time to try another rom or update the Purity one. That, or maybe try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526844
Dw about it. Fixed it. Apparently there was a problem with the com.android.phone/telephony. UnInstalled them, and then factory reset my phone. Then installed the Rom again. All well thanks for you help bro.

You're welcome. Glad all is well again.
I had the same problem. But i did not make a backup..
How can I unninstall phone apk from recovery?
I just got the Marshmallow update. Now contacts aren't updating and the lockscreen is extremely buggy.
What should I reset and what will I lose in the process? If nothing else, is there a way of going back to lollipop?

bro, if you factory reset your phone, it will be definitely good..
i too have faced same problem, i took contacts and messages backup,
remaining things like'
wallpaper, settings,wifi passwords, and other system settings including Moto actions will be taken backup automatically with out our knowledge (these will be asked when your reset is completed)
if you have anything to backup , take backup to PC or any storage media other than Phone/memory cards :highfive:
Note: Backup means not singlefile backup, i am talking about copying of necessary files( except applications )
any further help feel free to ask

if you factory reset you will loose everything, except new marshmallow
all apps, all files, all contacts, all messages, every things..
but when asked to restore .. you will be given option to install Apps which are already installed previously..
to be precise : all user files will be deleted..
For me, although I am getting OTA notification (Android M 24.11.25.en.03) but after download, when i click install, the phone takes almost 10-15 minutes to just poweroff . it never moves to recovery mode. I have to manually start the phone. After starting the phone, the system prompts me that the update was not successful. Any suggestions what could be wrong? will clearing the cache help?

Are you purely stock? No root, no TWRP, no Xposed, etc?
If so, factory default, skip all the setup stuff, take the OTA and allow it to finish and fully boot, factory default again and enjoy Marshmallow.
