"Unfortunately, SDM has stopped" HELP!!

Hello all. I rooted my S3 on Verizon a few months back, but the method I used did not work so I ended up unrooting it and factory resetting it. After that, I noticed that when I went into my setting to check software updates, it freezes for about 4-5 secs and I receive a pop up that says "Unfortunately, SDM has stopped" and since then I cannot figure out how to fix it so I can get the updates. I am now currently rooted and on 4.1.2. Any and all help would be much appreciated, thanks!!

Anyone? I could really use the help here.

Do you have sdm froze in titanium back up? If so, UN freeze it.
If not. You may have factory reset and/or refresh your rom.

That's a negative, ghost rider. Titanium says it wasn't frozen, but I froze it and unfroze it anyways and still didn't fix it. Also did a factory reset when I first noticed the problem and today I re-installed the stock rom. Talked to verizon and all they could tell me is that I more than likely need a new phone since it's still under warranty. I mean if I can still get the update using Kies, that's fine. If not... then I might take it in.
Is it possible to uninstall the SDM.apk and reinstall it? If so, do you think that would fix the issue?

I don't know.

[Q] ViperOne M8 1.7.1 (Verizon HTC one M8)

Hello all,
Last night I got the notification to update my Viper software to 1.7.1 and today I noticed that i can not access my settings>app manager page. I get the error "unfortunately, Settings has stopped. this also happens when I go to settings>Power>Usage. If i got to settings>data then I get the error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.settings has stopped.
I tried using titanium backup to try and delete recently installed apps, I also went into recovery and deleted cache but still no luck. I can install apps form the play store but if I try to even drag and drop to uninstall I get "unfortunately, Package installer has stopped". I dont know what to do, my phone still works but its annoying that this is happening. any suggestions? I really dont want to have to restore my phone and lose all data.
Thank you,
Also if anyone knows how I can change my text color on viper. For some reason I have white text and a white background in some menus which is strange because I am using the Viper Dark theme.

unfortunately that sounds like a bad install, I would try to just reflash the rom only wiping dalvik/cache and see if the problem persists. If it does you might need to do a factory reset. Fortunately TiBu and the HTC backup assistant can get your phone right back to where it was in no time so that shouldn't be too bad.
Also I'm using viper dark and don't have your text problem so I would definitely assume a bad install.

Yep you were right I had to re flash it, which I guess was a learning experience because it wasn't hard at all. Thanks

My N5 keeps crashing please help

hi, something is wrong with my Nexus 5 and i dont know how to fix it. So a few days ago, I was looking at how much little storage i had left so i went into my apps and i saw that ES file explorer had 1.02Gb on data. So I cleared it, and as soon as I did a lot of apps started crashing. I tried rebooting, and as soon as it booted "Unfortunately, google search has stopped" or something like that. I could barely use my phone at all, i was running HRT Rom 4.4.4 and i tried doing a factory reset and flashing the ROM again, but it still didnt work. Many apps still crashed. So I did another factory reset and i flashed a different ROM, (dirty unicorns) and i flashed PA Gapps and not as many apps crashed, but google search is a big problem. Right now I havent messed around anymore with it. Im on dirty unicorns Rom and everytime i reboot my phone google search crashes continuously for a while, and then it stops. i can use my phone for pretty much what i need it, but google search crashes every time i reboot but after a bit it stops. One another annoying thing is that i cant install xposed now. when i do, the android.system crashes to the point where i have to do a factory reset. I also cant share pictures from my gallery because it crashes. there is one app that every time i try to open it makes my phone reboot (photo punch). This is quite annoying and if someone knows a fix for this i would really appreciate some help. I also already tried uninstalling google search with titanium backup and installing it back from the play store but it doesnt work. And if i try to use another launcher, it crashes every time i hit the home button. no matter what launcher it is. if someone can help me please do so.

well, you factory resetting, or wiping data isnt fixing your issue, so i highly recommend flashing the nexus 5 factory img and starting over.

Why would you delete that? Lol

This is usually the cure all. Spend hours/days chasing an issue, or minutes reflashing. ?

[Q] Constant error after installing the lastest OTA.

Hello!
My phone is rooted and has no custom roms or kernels.
I went from kitkat to lollipop to the lastest OTA update.
At first, everyone was having issues with the Google Play services wakelock, so I installed the popular suggestion of Calkulin's Google Play app. I installed it and everything was fine.
Ever since I flashed the lastest OTA via TWRP, I have this constant error pop up and it comes back every 2 seconds.
"Unfortunately, the processcom.google.process.gapps has stopped."
How do I solve this issue? Thanks!

I have the exact same issue...and I also used Calkulin's zip....so the only problem I was having before manually applying 17L was the 1 popup when I rebooted saying messaging app stopped. I did a nandroid backup 10 minutes before I applied 17L which is what I had to revert back to since those processcom.google.process.gapps has stopped messages make the phone unusable. I guess I will just stay on cm-12.0-YNG1TASOTL until there is a fix....don't want to lose all my data with a factory reset. From what I have heard the update is not worth all that.

I am doing a clean flash....I did a titanium backup of my apps
Went into TWRP 2.8.6
Did Factory Reset
Installed Zip
Wipe devik/cache.....twrp will ask you to root
go through set up...I choose to set up phone as new device so Google would not try to put all my apps back
Update the SuperSU Binary if needed
DL Titanium Backup from the play store...and restore your apps...only 60% done with restore process but I hope it works....so far no pop-ups

[Q] com.android.phone

Hello, I'm getting a message "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" when I miss a phone call and the same when I swipe the missed called notification.
But it's fine if I answer calls and make calls, it only happens when I get a missed call...
Any ideas what's wrong?

Dont know what is wrong but there is three solution to solve this
#1:- By clearing the data
Surfing internet we could find that many people recommend to do a data clear to resolve this issue. In your android smartphone, it is very easy to clear data. For clearing data,
Go to Settings
Application Manager
Choose All Application
Below Contacts Storage choose “Clear all data”.
Now Restart your device
The above steps have slight changes from mobile to mobile. Try to find out the similar steps in your mobile yourself.
#2:- Resetting your device
You can also try a factory reset of your mobile phone to resolve this. Do factory reset only if the first method didn’t worked for you. For performing a factory reset,
Go to Settings
Backup & reset
factory Reset
Doing a factory reset will delete all of your data and applications. So be careful to do a backup if you are proceeding with this step.
#3: Changing the OS
This is recommended to those are facing Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped message after updating their device or changing the static os to a custom version.

Thanks...went through all those options already + more , nothing could fix it, even the few recovery backups that I had...so a reset was the only solution...
So I decided to start from scratch and go down the long way, flashed .93 rom then root and working my way back up from there manually as I can't restore any backups otherwise the error reappears...
This kinda sucks but that's the only way right now...unless somebody got a better insight of the situation, I still would like to know how to fix it without a reset
At least I got a clean backup now without the error

[SOLVED]
EDIT:
OK found the cause of the problem, at least in this case...I did freeze Xperia Home with Titanium Backup at some point since I used a different launcher ( something I didn't do at the beginning when I switched launcher)...this was the root of my problem getting com.android.phone has stopped when getting a missed call, so a simple defrosting of the app worked
