com.android.systemui has stopped - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get the following error:
Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped
The error just keeps repeating if I press OK.
What I did to get this error was:
Backup current ROM using TWRP
Flash a Lollipop ROM (that didn't work)
Restore my backup
and now I'm screwed
I've read somewhere about Italians having this issue and that it had to do with low battery level. I have now recharged my phone to 95% but still no dice And my phone is running US English (though I'm in Denmark).
I'm running CM11 M11.
Can anyone help?

Clean flash.

And how would I do that if I cannot transfer zip files to my phone?
And would I be able to restore my backup afterwards?

You didn't say anything about not being able to transfer zips to your phone, but I'm assuming you mean while booted into Android because of the persistent error. TWRP 2.8.x has MTP enabled so if you connect your phone to your PC while booted into that recovery you can copy a zip across to flash. And no, you can't restore your backup afterwards, the whole point of a clean flash is that it's a clean flash, completely fresh. Plus, restoring a backup after flashing a ROM would overwrite the ROM you just flashed, making it a pointless exercise. Plus, the backup that you have is obviously corrupt and that's what's causing your problem.
In short: download a ROM zip (and gapps), flash the latest TWRP to your phone (if you don't already have it), copy the zips to your phone, perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache), flash the ROM + gapps, reboot and start fresh.

The only backup you should be restoring using TiBu after flashing a ROM are user apps, and certainly not system apps. Restoring system apps will cause problems in 99.9% of all cases.

I'm kind of thinking that it's my TWRP that has some issue. I've tried restoring 3 or 4 different backups and they all come up with the same error.
I'll update my TWRP when I get home and hopefully get a bit further...

He's talking about a nandroid backup, not a TiBu backup.

I know, just talking about restoring backups in general after flashing a ROM.
Hence why I said "The only backup you should be restoring..."
EDIT* misread the OP. My posts were indeed a bit out of context...

Did a clean install - no dice
Then did an install without gapps and then I get to the initial setup where I have to choose language. And then it reboots - over and over. It completely bypasses any indication that there is a SIM card in the phone.
When trying to restore my previous backups I also go straight to my home screen bypassing SIM unlock and phone unlock.
Any other suggestions?

Nope. But I'm going to now Stay tuned...
Well... it's a different bootanim than CM11 - first indication that something has happened
But then Reboot from the language selection screen
I guess I'm coming to an end in terms of my phones life

Not necessarily. Do you have any signal whatsoever? Can you navigate to Settings/About Phone and see your IMEI? Don't post it here but let me know if it's still showing up.
Transmitted via Bacon

Hmm, sounds like a hardware issue to me if you can't even get passed the welcome setup without your phone rebooting... Especially after a FULL factory reset.
Does the reboot start as soon as you touch the screen? This might indicate some kind of malfunction between hardware and drivers.
Raise a ticket on the OnePlus website and request for an RMA. You might also want to file a Paypal claim to speed things up.

I can't navigate as I'm blocked by the error message. I do know my IMEI from my Google dashboard though.
I'm still puzzled by the fact that it doesn't recognize my SIM card at all.
Okay - breakthrough: I downloaded the package from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplus-one-return-to-stock-t2970390
Ran all 3 ONEPLUS ONE - x.bat and now it has prompted me to unlock my sim card. Got through to wifi so I have higher hopes this time around Will see how it goes...

Whether you know your IMEI or not isn't the point, it's whether it's still present on your device that matters. There have been cases where the IMEI simply disappears (along with your baseband) and having no signal is a consequence of that. I hope you made a backup of your EFS at some point because it's looking like this is what's happened.

Be careful, I firmly believe it's a backup that caused this problem, and you might not be so lucky next time. I'd seriously suggest just clean flashing now or you could be inviting the devil to your doorstep.

[Q] WiFi/BT broken, stuck at "Starting Services" in ALL ROMs and Stock? Help please!

[Q] WiFi/BT broken, stuck at "Starting Services" in ALL ROMs and Stock? Help please!
Hello! After a misadventure I managed to get CM 10.2 to run on my Photon Q, and it was fantastic! Wifi and BT work great. However, accidentally flashing the wrong kernel, I got stuck at the bootloader unlocked screen forever.
So, I reinstalled CM 10.2 and all seemed to be well. (I did this from CWM using a ZIP.) However, I quickly discovered WiFi and BT are both broken! If I hit ON, it goes gray for a second and tries to enable, and goes back to OFF with no error or other response. If I open the WiFi or BT menu and hit ON or SCAN, same result or it just does nothing.
So, I tried to downgrade to something older, something with ICS and not JB, which is what I prefer anyway. TwistedAsanti gets stuck forever at "Starting Services..." and the home screen never comes up, even if left overnight. I get a message that no cell networks were found asking if I want to switch to GSM. It's covered by STARTING SERVICES ... so I can't hit "No", but either way I don't have a carrier, so that's no issue. I use WiFi only. I can pull down the notification bar and go into settings. While there, I see the same problem with WiFi and BT, both are broken. I can't run any apps or get to the homescreen, still.
So, I tried to install 10.1, same result. Then MIUI, Carbon and SlimBean. Same result! I installed TWRP and flashed a backup of Stock JB from WIN files I found here on the forum. It boots up, but this time it's stuck at "Starting Services..." just like TwistedAsanti was. Notification bar works, settings menu works, homescreen won't appear, Starting services never goes away, can't run any apps. Wifi and BT still broken in the same manner.
Now downloading a backup of ICS Stock to see if that works any better, but I'm not holding my breath.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Thanks for any advice. I attached some photos that might help. I had to use my Tracfone because now that is the best camera I have access to, so sorry for the blurriness. I hope it gives you the general idea of what is going on.
EDIT: For each flash, I am wiping data, cache and dalvik cache. I also wiped modem and pds by mistake, could that be the problem? If so, how would I restore those? Thanks
Again, thanks for your time!
Jeez, how many threads do you need to post in? I have responded to all your posts in all of the various threads, INCLUDING your PM's.
Let's focus here, if you want custom we can do that. If you want stock we can do that. Please focus, what do you want.
If you want custom, perhaps you're not wiping everything properly... So boot recovery. Wipe system. Factory reset - wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache, sd-ext. Best to do the actual "factory reset" option than wiping all of those by hand, because wiping /data will wipe /data/media (internal SD) while factory reset will preserve /data/media.
Next, flash ROM of your choice. Twisted Asanti is kinda outdated, hasn't had any attention in a loooong time. Let's try something stable, CM10.1. Flash it. Flash gapps. Boot, do you still have the same issues?
Probably the wrong kernel is still flashed, you need to flash the stock kernel.
Wiping modem and pds could be the problem.
The first I would do in your position is to flash with RSD the stock ROM. This Thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536
edit: If you post in several threads and try different things "in" different threads we won't be able to help you.
EVERYTHING in one thread and we may see what you have done and where you have had problems.
You should keep it simple and give all information in one good structured post so we don't have to read pages to see what you did.

Sorry about that. I'll keep it in one place. Thanks Still trying to get RSD to work, but it won't detect the phone for some reason. Well, on one PC it will, but then it fails to flash saying there was a Remote error (FAIL). On another PC, it won't detect. In BOTH cases, fastboot devices successfully shows the phone. I can even format partitions and flash files. I have successfully flashed TWRP this way.
trying to flash the system image doesn't work with the error "invalid sparse file format at header magi", then fastboot crashes. (What?) So, RSD doesn't work and fastboot kinda works, but not for all the images.
I got a copy of all the kernels I could find .. arrrghhh's for every FW I can think of. Searching out a stock kernel now. It says on the Peas and Q's post that it's just a stock FW with a new name, so I grabbed that too, might be worth a shot...
got CM 10.1, I guess I'll try installing that, and then what do I want, the STOCK kernel? or just use the one that it came with? (How confusing.)
To be more clear, either Stock or Custom is fine. I'm happy with either so long as it boots properly and WiFi works again. Root would be nice but I can worry about that later.
You don't have to quote whole posts (just press "QUICK REPLY").
The most important thing is to get RSD to work.
I'm not the guy where you get information about RSD and kind of. I know where to look for and show the right direction.
In the thread I posted you might get help for RSD and you could get help there.
Ask there for help as the more experienced users are reading only the "important" threads and not the "smaller" ones.
(I know this, I do this most time, but I'm not the "know-everything" guy )
As I never needed those FXZ method, I never used it and my RSD Lite experience is rather small.
You might need to install motorola drivers to get it to work but I'm not sure, you should ask in that thread.
PS: If Stock will work again, Custom will work too.
To avoid problems it might be needed to wipe data/cache/dalvik before and after flashing a ROM.

I got RSD to see the phone using a different PC. When I try to flash "asanti_c-user-4.0.4-7.7.1Q-6_SPR-89_ASA-36-42-release-keys-Sprint-US.xml" it gets all the way up to flashing "system", which is one of the last steps, then it says the device reported FAIL. This is the same file I couldn't get to flash with fastboot when I was trying to do it manually. But in that case, fastboot crashed entirely.
Not sure what to try now ...
Did you read the following?
Skrilax_CZ said:
NOTES
- use at least RSD Lite 6.1.5 (maybe 6.1.x will work too) or you get an error on flashing system.img.ext4
- you may have to open the zip and edit the xml, and delete the 2 lines "<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />" if you get unknown command fastboot getvar max-download-size
- do not flash Sprint firmware to phone from Cellular US and vice versa unless you know what are you doing!!!

As I said, I never tried the FXZ method and I have no experience on error which could appear.

Try a different port? Different cable? Different computer? Are you using the stock cable?
Perhaps something else is broken... I'm not sure at this point. Do you have any screenshots of the failure? Any specific output from the software?
Did you edit the XML file properly? I think you did, but you said you were downgrading too - are you always trying ICS or have you tried the FXZ file for JB as well?
Useless thread bump.
Another fellow had the same issue, and was using an old version of RSD Lite. What version are you using?
I faced same problem.
Just use latest veersion of RSD lite, 6.0 is ok
and do not forget to remove two getvar commands from xml file.
I tried same and now my phone is alive. But now.IMEI/MEID is gone (zero)
WIFI and bluetooth is now connecting but not receiving any data (useless).
I tried many cdma tool to recover MEID but failed.
I thing we lost EFS partition.

The problem WAS RSD's version! Thanks to everyone for your help. I had 5.6.4 running before and it would always die at System.img.ext4 and one other partition later on. That's on the WinXP system that would see the phone in RSD. The Win8 machine wouldn't see it at all, even in XP compatibility mode with admin rights. Go figure. I'll take this as another excuse to not be fond of Win8.
I checked and my phone has boot, system, recovery, data, pds and modem, but no EFS. I'm not familiar with that .. Isn't EFS a filesystem type, not a partition? Like EXTFS?

Dear sir
Problem is that i wasted approx $250 on this device.
I am indian and $1 = Rs65 and $250 = Salary of one month.
I am here on XDA to save my $250.
There is no support on this phone in indian market,
If there any solution please help.
You can post here or PM me.
Or there is only by which i can only get my IMEI back, then i will apply GSM addon on it,
I do not care much about CDMA.
I know IMEI/MEID repair is illegal in USA.
For proof I can provide you original images of phone showing Zero Imei/meid
I do not want to change, only i want to restore original one.

[Q] Can I repair CWM in CWM?

My phone (S3,CM11) randomly crashed and started bootlooping. Typically I just remove the battery, put it back in, and I'm good to go. This time however it didn't work. I'm able to get into recovery, after about 10 or so battery removals, but its clear CWM isn't how it used to be. I think it may be corrupt. The big give away is that the power button is no longer listed, or serves, as the 'enter' function. I can flash zips, and I tried re-installing the ROM, but the boot loops continue. I tried reinstalling my backup, but the MD5 sums didnt match. All solutions to fix that issue requires that I connect my phone to a computer and delete the MD5 sums, which I can't do since the phone wont boot. All my backups are poorly stored on the internal sdcard.
I'm hoping if I can re-install CWM in CWM, that I would be able to reinstall my ROM to a state I can turn the phone on. Is there another way to repair the boot file?
What are my options? Thanks!

OK.
Go look for philz touch recovery in the development section. Click on his main thread link and scroll down to the unified s3 builds, download and flash the latest one in recovery, or Odin flash the .tar file if you can't get into recovery.
Setup is almost the exact same as cwm just a few more features. Try to restore the backup as normal. If it still doesn't work, go into factory reset and select the "wipe before new rom option", then flash your rom immediately afterwards.
If that still doesn't work, dig around the settings until you find the option for ignoring md5 sum check, then it will definitely let you install the backup. Just understand that there's a risk associated with doing that. If something is corrupted it could theoretically hard brick your phone, but if everything is still OK and all your backups are giving you the same issue then everything is probably fine.

I appreciate the help, and the solution seemed like a homerun, but sadly things are worse. After successfully flashing the zip, the phone is now in a permanent bootloop trying to reach recovery. Now if I could only find a way to recover the data on the internal storage card.

Wow, after reading up on the symptoms, that sounds like my problem. It also explains why I couldn't use that button to execute commands in recovery. Unfortunately this puts me in a bad situation. Since I tried to factory reset, and it crashed, I'm worried my install is corrupt now. I do have a backup from before the reset, but its labeled 01-01-1970. Surely that can't be good.
All I want to save at this point are my photos (some of which are more recent than my August backup). Would it be safe to restore my August backup and advanced restore the data from my most recent backup (01-01-1970)? Even if it's buggy, as long as I can transfer my photos to my external card I'd be happy. Thanks!

CWM doesn't input the proper date when you make backups. It has always defaulted to 1970 on the S3. TWRP does and I believe PhilZ recovery does as well allow you to post the proper date. Just make sure you have a total of 1+ GB file in your CWM folder. If you can pull that folder onto your computer (if its on an sd card) just right click the folder and check the date when it was created.
Edit: and as @BadUsername wrote, youtube videos may help out. I had a stuck power button and this clip helped me. It has been almost 11 months since I did this and I have been fine.

Idk if you want to try since none of the other backups worked. How many total CWM backups do you have? Is there an accompanying "BLOBS" folder as well? Or did they get rid of that too or are CWM backups now self contained? Over a year ago, there was a Blobs folder and folder of your backups.

I have two. One marked 8-8-2014 and one 1-1-1970 (newest). I haven't looked at how they are stored in a while, but I remember it was multiple folders within folders taking up almost 2 gigs of space. As I stated, at this point if I could salvage my photos that would be enough.

I think the backup is still good, you can probably salvage photos pretty easily with ADB if you have USB debugging enabled. I still think that fixing your power button will fix your problems and you'll be able to restore a backup.

Idk if you want to try since none of the other backups worked. How many total CWM backups do you have? Is there an accompanying "BLOBS" folder as well? Or did they get rid of that too or are CWM backups now self contained? Over a year ago, there was a Blobs folder and folder of your backups.

I actually just checked my backups, I'm using philz latest but my backup has the correct date and I didn't have to manually input the date from within philz settings. There is also no more blobs folder. I think recently cwm redid their entire backup system, it's definitely different than it used to be. Has to be a fairly recent change though.

Lost IMEI no data no WiFi, files only show in recovery, no efs Backup pls help

Hey everybody I hope someone can help me to rescue my phone.
I flashed carbon and ukm. Then wanted to change GPU governor to simpleondemand and got hot reboots. Was not able to fully boot and lost imei. I tried to restore my backup but they didn't want to boot either, same with another fresh install. Thereafter I deleted synapse folder through recovery and was able to boot my restored ROM. Now I have no imei, no data, no WiFi... In addition my files don't show the files on my phone anymore I only can see them in my recovery, all is still there. My problem is I don't have an extra efs backup only two ROM backups. First I would have liked to know how I can rescue my data? Cause its not showing on booted phone and because of that also not on computer via USB. Is there a proper way to save and what can I do to maybe save my phone. I flashed ROM for years on many different devices and something like that never happened before any help appreciated thanks!!!

Edit: ok found a way^^ through twrp recovery I could mount it to show on my computer so now will try

You can use TWRP to drag and drop files as MTP is a feature in TWRP now.

I firstly flashed the coloros ROM then flashed back to cm11s and then followed the instructions of this brickloop thread you posted. That's the way I got my imei back and a fully working device. Hope this may help.

There is no reason for you to lose IMEI while rooting...
Follow this guide to do everything you need to do to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632

[Q] Help! OPO cant detect sim card & restart every minute or so..

Before : CM12S YNG1TAS17L rooted.. Works perfectly fine.. perform nandroid back up using TWRP before flash kernel. until I flashed Franco kernel r42.
After : Upon 1 boot after flash kernel, screen colour turns very unsual. The phone cannot detect simcard network at all. I've tried friends Simcard and several different carrier network. All cannot detect the sim card. & the phone freezes for 1-2 second then restart by itself its been doing this everytime I boot up. When I shut down the phone, it automatically start it self. I've tried restore back nandroid backup , wipe & install new stock rom or custom rom, everything doesn't work. Not Simcard detected, freezes and restart by it self no matter what rom I've installed.
I have no idea what to do... :crying:

Why not? There's information all over the place that informs people that it's crucial to have a backup of your EFS partition. The backup is the best way to fix your problem, with you don't have one your chances are slimmer. There are a couple of threads here in the q&a section and in the general section that propose fixes, track them down and start reading.

Yeah, that's one of the threads I was talking about. If that doesn't work there's at least one more in our q&a section too.
i flashed my opo with oxygen os till yesterday it detected sim but now its not detecting and it showing imei number

Enter and exit airplane mode in order to restore my data connection (COS 12.1)

Im was on YNG2TAS2I3 and for some reason, my data connection usually does not work. The signal is stong but it shows a "!"; I can make phone calls but can't use anything internet related. The quickest fix for now is enter airplane mode and then exit. It usually restores the connection after that.
I upgraded to YOG4PAS1N0 and same thing.
This actually never happened to me on this pone before. What could be wrong?

He's suggesting you follow the instructions in section 8 of my guide thread to flash the stock images and start fresh. You'd also need to wipe data with TWRP first.

Don't come here creating threads if you're not going to listen to the advice you're being given. We're talking about wiping the data partition, not the internal storage.

Oh, you ment the application data partition. I know its called the data partition but it is a bit poorly worded.
Still, its a pain to put everything up again.
And I didnt say I wouldnt listen; I just said Im not gonna do that.

It is a pain I guess, but it's really the only option you can take.
