After software update, my phone "deleted" the phone/dialer and contacts apps. The phone icon had turned into the android logo and when clicked said app is not installed. I cannot save any new contacts, but I can still call using another dialer from play store. Any ideas how to fix? (os 4.2.2).
factory reset maybe?
Already tried it...
try flashing it with ODIN.

Yesterday i have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my NS. And after this while syncing (automatic) the applications back to the phone, two of the apps failed to sync with the following error.
"App name" could not be downloaded due to an error.
And after this I am not able to install any new apps or update the existing apps through Market.
I tried clearing the cache, restarting the phone, but to no effect.
Then I tried installing the new market (manual download and install) and installation went through fine!!!.
Even with the new market, I am facing the same problem.
I have searched for a soln everywhere but to no avail. Could someone please tell if they have faced it and how to solve this???
Just now noticed another weird thing. When i press install from the site - market.android.com, the apps are getting installed successfully. Even the failed ones.
Have same issues with my NS too...
Any help???
Resolved!!!
This might be the hard way. But it will work. It looks like the issue happened because lot of applications tried to install/update together. And syncronisation didnt happen properly.
First, I tried a factory data reset. After restarting, all apps started getting synced in a bunch. After around 40-50 apps were sync'ed, installation of the remaining failed.
Then I again did a factory reset. After it started sync'ing, i locked my mobile for 4-5 mins, then unlocked it. Onces some 4-5 apps were installed properly, i locked it again. Did it some 15-20 time and finally all my apps were synced properly. And now I am able to install new apps as well.
I did a factory reset too but did not restore my Google account nor I restored my Titanium backup. Fresh start and it works now for me.
Thanks,
Congratulations!
CONGRATS!
WELL DONE BRO!:laugh::victory:
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).
I rooted my phone earlier today but had an issue which caused me to factory restore my phone. After restoring my phone (didn't back up due to me being an idiot and not needing anything on my phone) most system installed apps began not working. When i tried to use the default messaging app, it wouldn't open and it would pop up saying "Unfortunately, (app) has stopped. " I tried to restore my phone once again to no avail. Is there anything I can do to fix my phone or do I have to get a new one?

Hi guys,
Had a problem with my stock Android (4.4.4) when it softbricked - got a black screen during boot.
Flashed Stock EU 4.4.4 (RETAIL-EU_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF) and all worked fine, got an OTA upgrade to 5.0.2 again all fine.
Yesterday the phone started playing, when I tried to close and app through the Recent Apps or Uninstalling an app that was in Recent Apps, I get a Black screen and in 5-10 seconds I have a freshly rebooted OS or Launcher (cannot say for sure).
Decided to do a Factory Reset.
Now the fun part, after the restart and I got my Google Account Setup, Chrome disappeared, after I realised this, installed it from Google Play and each time I wanted to launch it got the Black Screen and Launcher restart.
Did another Factory reset, Installed Chrome but selected the option to have Chrome tabs in Chrome rather than in Recent Apps (you can change that when you set it up)
Now Chrome works, but still any manipulation through Recent Apps (Closing and App) or Uninstalling an App that is in Recent Apps restarts the Launcher.
Any suggestions?
UPDATE:
After another reboot, the boot process was stuck at the M logo with ripples.
In the end Flashed 4.4.4 and did another OTA 5.0.2 Update...

I'm having a similar issue with my g flex 2. I did a factory reset and now it does a loop on the setup wizard. I cannot get to the recovery screen by pushing the power button and volume down and I can't get it to connect with my computer with usb. Is there another way to do a hard reset?
If you stuck on Google Account , you can try this:
When you enter your email address, select all and hold your finger to showing option. "Cut, Copy, Past, Assist"
Use Assist, choose >> No thanks . And a browser will be showing.
Enter "Setting" And the settings icon will show up.
Go to Settings then Apps.
Disable every single Google app (Chrome, Slides, Sheets, Gmail, maps, Youtube, Hangouts etc. etc anything that is Google in origin.)
Disable all Google Play everything including Play Services and Store
Disable Google Account Manager and Google App
Disable Google services like calendar and contacts sync, text to speech I think, services framework, one time init, and partner setup
Also went to Security, Administrators, and removed Device Manager
---pretty sure I covered it...
back out of menu, reboot phone.
You should be able uncheck Wi-Fi and Mobile networks and still be able to hit Next at the bottom right, FRP check is disabled. Once it boots all the way into the interface, go to Settings, Backup and Reset and do a factory reset.

That was unsuccessful. Any other suggestions?
I put in my google account info and it worked fine, but it just keeps looping through the setup instead of finishing it. At the end, if I time it right, I can swipe down and get into settings so I thought I could reset it that way, but the reset option isn't even there.
Try to Reflash the phone with LGUP using "Refurbished" mode.

Thanks. I figured out how to flash it using these instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/guide-lg-g-flex-2-stock-firmware-to-t3037593
My phone is working great again. I'm new at this but that seems like doing pretty much the same thing. One question though. Supersu is still showing up in the apps. I rooted my phone a long time ago but I figured that would have been deleted through this process.
Same isseue
