Up until now I had a Galaxy S4 running omega ROM with a custom kernel (can't remeber which) and every so often I experianced a SIM card remove and needed to reboot - the other day, my mom decided to switch cellular compeny, and I recieved a new SIM - It all worked fine, until the next day I got an invalid SIM error and the phone was not usable - So I decided I would return to stock incase it would help or atleast it will return the warranty and allow me to let someone else fix it.
I followed a certain guide in this forum in order to return it to stock, and when the phone booted up - I got a "process.android.acore has stopped working error" - constantly flashing - making the phone unusable.
I wiped the cache and dalvik cache and did a factory reset, and formated every mount on my galaxy - and reflahed the stock firmware - and it fixed it - but now I have a "Samsung keyboard has stopped working" error - making me unable to text ever (tried clearing the app cache and data -didn't work) - and it also shows up when I don't use the samsung keyboard.... and there is the invalid SIM thing... I am stuck and have no Idea how to fix this thing... so... any suggestions?

Where to start...
First, as a disclaimer, I may use language or terms that sound noobish. I have rooted and run custom ROMs on several devices in the past, however generally when I get a ROM I like I stick with it, so I'm not constantly tinkering. I've done my best to search and find solutions so please go easy on me.
17 days ago I was running stock 4.3 on my SGNII when the battery died. Upon charging I found I was stuck in bootloop and had a bad /efs mount. I searched and searched and spent around 15 hours trying this and that but to no avail. I finally threw my hands in the air and got ahold of Josh at mobiletechvideos and he was able to fix the efs mount issue. However, he left me in factory mode which required me to root to get out of, and once I did this I was unable to activate data on my carrier (Ting). I was so happy to have my phone "back" though that I used it like this for 4 or 5 days. I could get on wifi and I could call and send text messages. I had been off the grid so this felt like something I'd fix fully later.
Well I kept reading and found "fix" after "fix", flashed this and that and still no dice. FINALLY, last night, I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 which helped immensely. I was able to get TWRP flashed by unchecking the "auto-reboot" option in Odin and pulling the battery after the update took, and via TWRP I was able to install the ROM. I booted up, the device activated, I was running 4.1.2, I made and received some calls, the birds were chirping, the air was sweet...
I had struggled for so long and I had finally achieved success! Then, for seemingly no reason at all, I accepted an OTA update which bricked my Note2. Devastation.
The current state of things...
* Cannot get past the initial "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen
* Cannot boot into recovery
* I CAN get into dl mode,
* but, I CANNOT successfully flash anything. TWRP will flash like it took, but upon reboot I'm not able to boot into it. I'm also able to flash a ROM but it fails when it gets to sbin, and upon rebooting I'm greeted by the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
When I try to use Kies it doesn't find the device. I've installed all of the most recent drivers and I'm running Kies as administrator. I select Tools > Emergency Firmware Recovery, THEN connect my device as instructed.
I'm at the apex of frustration. I beg thee to help!!

Hi.
I have a SGS3 international. It has CWM Recovery 6.0.4.6 installed, and a CM nightly from a couple of weeks back. The thing is, everything was working ok until a couple of hours ago. I needed to turn the phone off so I did (and I left it charging), and later I unplugged it and when I turned it on, it was stuck in the Samsung i9300 screen.
I tried to do a factory reset but when I try it reboots. I tried flashing a Paranoid Android ROM from 2 months ago that I had in the SD card to see if it worked, and nothing (it shows a 'installation complete' message, though). I try wiping cache, and even though it gets wiped, the problem persists.
What can I do?

My phone (after rooting) doesn't turn on again, it at first turned on but it said "unfortunately, 'app', has stopped" and it didnt allow me to use it normally, I wiped the cache and data, then restarted and the phone was in the initial menu where you select languaje etc, but still said "unfortunately, UI has stoped", after waiting for the Samsung logo like 10-20 seconds. Now that i installed, from the ExtSDCard, a ROM, it boots up withe in a loop, and when I reboot after installing the ROM, it boots up in green color, like dead pixels or screen not working, then the Samsung logo, again and again.
I will appreciate so much if you can help me.
Hi,
Are you sure the rom you flashed was made for your exact model number? Any other model roms could cause a number of issues, including bricking your device.
That said, you will need to register on XDA and ask about your issue here in this dedicated help thread for your device,

ok this is how it all started. my galaxy s4 19505. was rooted but then every day apps would mysteriously uninstall. at random. and apps would unexpectedly close at random then be stuck in a loop of pressing ok to confirm it closed. this was starting to bug me so i wanted to fix this. i then looked to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 or 5 i tried to upload a new rom via odin. but it wasnt working. it was an authorisation fail. so then i thought id reset it to a factory wipe. so i wiped cache and wiped data. now its stuck with the error message of kernel is not seandroid enforcing. and it gets stuck at the samsung logo.
i can still access the root menu to update. but when i update it says unauthorized access and something like bad footer and no authorisation. i can still upload but on odin i have the same problem a fail in the authorisation.
please help!!
i also forgot to mention that i cant carry anything onto the sd card ive got. i do have a spare but the other one is my 64gb one. its not letting me transfer anything and i cant format it.
Hi,
Odin is used to flash original stock firmware, not custom roms. But maybe you know that.
Here us a dedicated help thread for your device that you can ask for help in,

Thread cleaned.
My device is unlocked, rooted, and have CWM 6.0.5.4 installed. I flashed a few different ROMs and everything worked OK, untill, after a few different ROMs the phone just booted up and got stuck on the Welcome screen. So, there I can only choose a language and only place emergency call... Also, the phone connects to my network with good signal... What did I do wrong?
Factory reset / wipe data does not help. Also, i can connect to phone with ADB tools (on WIN 8), but cannot connect with Odin (tried a few different versions of Odin).
It's not an SIM card error, it works fine in another phone.
Hi,
You can review this tutorial on returning to stock, and see if you can connect after. If not, Sounds like a sim card, hardware or carrier issue.

If you have trouble with Odin after following the guide step by step, you will need to register on XDA and ask about your issue in the thread.
Good luck!
