Phone crashes

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with my Galaxy S3. I rooted it and installed CWM two days ago, well last night I installed the Paranoid Android ROM on it. Now I get a message on my screen saying: "Unfortunately, ParanoidAndroid OTA has stopped" and when I press ok it pops up SIM network unlock PIN and give me an option unlock or dismiss.I dismiss it and it goes back to normal screen, but then another message pops up saying: Android.com has stopped and will keep popping up on the screen and won't stop until I take out the battery. I have done a factory reset and a clean cache partition on it. The only thing I can think of is that when I change the phone into tablet mode it doesn't automatically reboot, so I manually do it and that's when I get the OTA has stopped. Can someone please help me resolve this issue. I would really appreciate it.

Samsung Software Update Problem maybe?

Does anyone know why the Samsung update button when it pops up to check if there is any updates available. takes so damn long?
I clicked it one today, and it showed and prompted me to install the new update, yet when i tried to click it"Because want to save root i had to stop it to have it enabled" I came back to installing it, and it just hangs there swirling :/. Tried also FC - Google Services, and Clearing Data, then tried software updating, yet nothing.
It's been like this for the last 5 minutes
Any other way for me to reset and speed up this thing? is just stuck at "checking for software update"
Thank you guys!

simply because you tablet are rooted.

You can't receive OTA's. If you did, root would be removed as soon as you ran it.
Go to Sammobile and download the latest stock rom for your area... Flash with Mobile ODIN to keep root...

[Q] Unfortunately, com.keyguard has stopped [black screen]

I can't do anything once it boots.
Factory reset lets me get through the setup process, but no home screen or anything..
reboot leads to "Unfortunately, com.keyguard has stopped" and keeps popping up. literally stuck.
Rooted 4.4 out of the blue this morning bootlooped when I turned my phone on this morning.
No xposed, ART enabled.
Again, factory reset from stock recovery gets me nowhere. Is there a way I can completely wipe whatever is causing this? Still no FXZ for 4.4 right?

Others have fixed issues by putting the 4.4 update zip on their sd card and running it again, repairing system files and keeping user data. Possible?

Extract the files, put your phone in fastboot mode, run the flashall.bat

Factory data reset doesn't reload the OS as far as I know I have ran a FDR and not lost root. It deletes all user data like apps downloaded and pictures etc. So it won't fix an OS error only an FXZ does that. It basically strips all the stuff you downloaded to factory settings but doesn't reinstall the OS.
Did you have SS inistalled and not make a backup or did you not have SS installed. If you can get to SS you could load a backup if you had one.

Yeah ended up using that. Just happy to have a working device again despite no root anymore lol
Thanks a ton guys

unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped

I tried to dial the # and I got this message unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped
now every time I hit ok it comes back - after 3 times phone reboots and starts over the same message.
Phone is stock - just got updates OTA it is Global version
please advise if anyone had same issue and possible resolution. I checked some solutions from GAlaxy s2 and 3 but all of them require phone to actually work - I cant get to settings
thank you

Well i had the same problem after flashing many different roms. My mistake was forgetting to wipe to factory reset before flashing. Maybe this will solve your problem too.

Having this issue as well!
This started happening to me this morning. I am running CM12 Nightlies. I tried factory resetting...still happens. I tried everything. I even tried fastboot flashing the device to 100% stock...the first time I booted up after flashing stock and locking bootloader....the phone says "Unfortunately, the process com. android. phone has stopped". EVEN AFTER A FULL FLASH BACK TO STOCK UNROOTED 4.4.4!
HELP PLEASE!

Can't setup device - Unfortunately settings has stopped

I have a 3rd gen Moto G I've not used in a while and wanted to get it set up. I'd previously factory-reset the device and was going to sell it, turns out it's not worth a great deal so I wanted to use it as a spare.
When I turn the device on I get the green/blue screen to choose the language, I click the yellow next button. The device says "turning on wifi" and stays like that, eventually it will say "Unfortunately settings has stopped" and take me back to the beginning.
I've tried:
Putting my sim in hoping I could skip the wifi - 'skip' is greyed out
Doing a factory reset from recovery
Restarting the device is safe mode
None of the above worked. Is the device bricked? Is there anyway to flash a ROM without having access to the OS on the device?

You can get to the bootloader, so you can flash a factory image via fastboot. Look in the General section, there is a how to flash thread and a firmware thread.
