[Q] Unfortunately, the setup wizard has stopped

I need help stuck in error message.
Phone: Verizon Galaxy S3 Sch-i535
Ok Heres what it did
(Phone already rooted)
I Downloaded and Flashed a Custom Rom from goo. manager (Samsung Galaxy S III (Verizon) CyanogenMod - d2vzw / cm-10.1.2-d2vzw.zip) and The gapps that came along with it.
Also downloaded Ez unlock to unlock my boot loader. (unlocked the boot loader)
Phone was successfully flashed with the new CyanogenMod, everything booted up fine. But when the phone starts to setup, i get an error message saying: Unfortunately, the process com.process.gapps has stopped.
i click ok and it keeps popping up.
Also between that error message I get another error message saying: Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has Stopped.
Can't access any part of the phone. Just stuck in the error message loop.
I do however have access to the recovery mode options that let you Install, wipe backup restore, mount, settings, advanced, reboot.
PLEASE HELP

You flashed the wrong gapps. Just boot into recovery, wipe, flash only the rom, then find the correct gapps, download them, boot back into recovery, flash new gapps, reboot system and you should be good to go.:good:

Don't flash roms in goo manager. Learn to do it the right way.

What is the correct gapps for rootbox 4.x and why is flashing gapps necessary? Should the wipes be done before the gapps or after?
I had the same problem as hesbordofallofus and managed to get back into TWRP and flash my old 4.1.1 rom. I'd like to check out a 4.2.2 or 4.3 vanilla rom. Clean rom 5.5.1 works well but uses battery up fast.

and what is "The right way" ? i only used goo manager because i have a mac and it's a little bit more difficult to flash a samsung Device with a macbook pro.

The problem with goo manager is that, obviously there's a chance you're going to flash the wrong gapps. I don't use clockwork mod recovery because when I rooted my phone with CASUAL it installed TWRP. But, I assume they both work the same way. When you flash files from recovery, you have to manually download the rom and gapps packages from their respective servers so as long as you've done the reading and the quadruple checking, you will flash the correct files for YOU'RE phone. Learning how to boot into recovery manually, using the three button combo is a very important part of flashing roms. And getting comfortable moving around in whatever recovery you're using makes it less likely that you will make a fatal mistake.
I probably spend an hour or two reading in my phones' forum everyday. I want to make sure I understand how to do what I'm doing properly and have a plan for when things go wrong. So read, read, read!!!!!

the gapps package is necessary because the package is a set of apps like the Play Store, Gmail, and other google apps. You can't sign into you're Google account without Gaaps. The process is always this:
1: wipe Data+ Cache
2. Install ROM (updater-script in ROM zip wipes system for u)
3. Flash PROPER GAAPS
4. Reboot
Remember "System" is essentially your Operating system. So don't wipe that manually unless you have a nandroid or a ROM zip as a backup. There is really no need to wipe system manually in Recovery because a the updater-script in a ROM zip always erases system for u. Just worry about formatting data manually before flashing ROM. Also remember when you flash a Gaaps package it gets installed to your system partition NOT Data. Just some info for you. Remember if you don't know how to do something ASK!! nobody is stupid here and no questions are dumb. If it keeps you from bricking your device then ask. Also READ READ READ! Always make sure you know what you r flashing and that it is meant for your device. The last thing you want to do is to flash a kernel or ROM made for a different version of ur device.

I'm not sure what you mean by manually formatting data. I'm also not really sure what you mean when you say don't manually wipe. My personal opinion is, when in doubt follow the dev's instructions. So for instance, when I decided on PACMAN, I went to the dev's page, scrolled down to the links to the downloads, grabbed that, then used link to the gapps, grabbed those, and usually right under the links, there's a brief set of directions for installing the rom/gapps. I always just do what they say. It's become a routine for me to research, pick a rom, grab the files, make as sure as humanly possible I've got them correct, make a fresh nandroid, then proceed.

When I say manually wipe I mean going into the wipe menu in recovery and choosing wipe data etc

"The last thing you want to do is to flash a kernel or ROM made for a different version of ur device." Done that!
So the reason I couldn't get all my apps (I could see them) or get into playstore, log onto google find my contacts, etc. is that I didn't flash the gapps. BIG QUESTION: how do I know which gapps to flash? (BTW I dropped back to cleanrom 5.5.1 and it works fine but I can't send texts. I receive but can't send.) If I could I'd give it a rest and do my real work.

Usually the dev posts the Gaaps package you need in the OP if their thread or on their site.

Weird custom rom issue

Just got my n5 and decided to unlock and root it, everything went well until I wanted to flash a rom, no matter what rom I flashed I got all kinds of issues from all apps force closing to bootloops, soft keys not working ect. I've tried flashing stock img, factory reseting ect, nothing seems to work. I'm not sure what's going on here, any help?

I am probably already asking you questions you have already done but... Have you reformated the system, data, and cache partitions prior to flashing? Also are you checking the MD5 of the ROMs you are trying?

Yeah tried all of that, md5's are correct, thanks though

what recovery and version are you on?
what wipes exactly are you performing?
you've checked the md5?

Ok. just trying to narrow things down. When you flash the stock image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerheadkrt16m are you running the flash-all script? And after that before even adding any apps or changing anything does it give you issues?

@xBeerdroiDx
I'm using cwm 6.0.4.4, wiping system data and cache, and yes I've checked md5's
@neomorphix
Stock works perfectly fine but custom roms gives me issues I listed above, not sure why

are you flashing a gapps add-on package with your custom roms? the right gapps?

Do issues apear straight after flashing the custom ROM or once you start loading apps and changing settings? Also are you using another kernel with the ROMs or the one that comes with them?

They appear right after I flash the rom, tried with both the included and with a custom one

Tried a few days later and it worked, weird haha. Thanks though

[Q] After flashing no internet access

I had this problem, that I couldn't turn on WIFI. I didn't want to use the internet so flashed lollipop 5.0.1(from 4.4.4). When flashed to 5.0.1 it was rebooting every time the screen locked, so decided to go back to 4.4.4. At first everything was ok, but then the mobile network just stopped to work. I was ok to cope with the disabled wifi, but i really need the phone internet. What should I do? Already tried flashing stock and factory wiping a couple of times, didn't help
The 'tower' of signal strength looks orange, but there's an H on it

When i first tried to install it showed
* Incompatible GApss Currently Installed *
PA GApps can ONLY be installed on top of an existing installation of PA GApps. You must wipe (format) your system partition BEFORE installing any PA GApps package.
**** GApps Installation failed ***********
when i look lower i see
E: Error in ... (the specified image address)

Installation aborted.
when i try to install gapps the second time it shows
E: Can't make /tmp/update_binary
Installation aborted
what should i do?
(I didn't have CWM Recovery before, now I have it installed and rooted the phone)

OFC, you already flashed gapps.
Wipe /system, reflash ROM, flash correct gapps.

I don't get it. I've done it several times already, every time it showed that there is an incompatible version already. maybe the google stock image already contains some gapps?
the only time the install went through was when i just wiped /system and without reflashing rom tried to install the zip
maybe you can do a thorough step by step guide what i have to do? i thought that maybe i had to have root access, but after rooting nothing changed.
Oh, and i can't mount usb through CWM. if i proceed to startup, the device itself installs all the apps

Well first of all. Flash TWRP. Trust me. Then solving your problems will be much easier than in CWM

NOTE: Ofc, the factory image has gapps included. Google owns gapps, in case you don't know.
Due to lack of info, I was mislead to think that you was running custom roms, and not a factory image.
The orange colored network indicators simply mean that you're not connected to Google Play services. This would NOT prevent you from accessing the internet on a browser for example - doesn't matter if on wifi or on mobile data - visiting www.google.com.
If you want to get a clean/fresh start, flash a factory image. I assume you know how to, so if you don't go read the guides on General. It's very simple.
That said, after flashing a factory image, and booting it, EVERYTHING should just work: adding your google account, connection to google play services, everything.
If you want to run custom roms, then you'll need a custom recovery (as suggested, TWRP), a custom rom, and an appropriate gapps version. Simple.

Ok, so I should just contact warranty if I got this after flashing stock? I cannot turn on wifi (the problem persisted before flashing) and now I have no internet connection. (I checked all the providers, and I have the right ones set there)
What should I do before I bring it to the warranty service?

[Q] - No Calls or SMS OxygenOS or CM12

OK I am having a problem, when i rooted and followed the direction to install both OxygenOS or CM12 nightly I am unable to receive any SMS or phone calls except after a reboot. Once i reboot any saved messages come through and then once the phone sleeps it stops. I have rolled back to CM11S for the time being. Any steps or tricks to follow to get this issue resolved.

"followed the direction to install both OxygenOS or CM12 nightly" does it mean you are using Multiboot?

No just flashing either one I have this result. Not sure if I am doing something wrong in the process.
Steps:
Wipe all but internal
Flash Rom (then gapps if CM12)
Flash SU
Reboot

Well all i could suggest it, also please flash the CM12 firmware once. In theory oxygenOS and CM12 firmwares are compatible. So flash like this:
Install CM12 fimrware zip
Wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik etc without Internal memory
Flash Rom Zip
Flash Gapps
Flash SuperSu
and then let it boot and settle down. Before restorign apps or data, check for any issues again

seems to be sitting stable at the moment, will keep testing. but thanks for the input.

Great! Let me know if the bug persists. And be careful with firmwares. For CM12 roms, just flash the firmware once and you're good to go for all of then.

spoke too soon, after letting the phone sit ideal for a few hours and testing incoming calls\sms nothing came through. restored a backup of CM11S, for the week to have a working device. will keep trying to get to a root cause later in the week. will also open a help ticket with OnePlus to see if there is something I am missing as well since this happens with OxygenOS as well.

[Q] Urgent CM 12.1 Issue!

Hey everyone,
Thank you all for reading this...
Today, I wanted to update my phone from cm-12.1-20150429-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip to cm-12.1-20150502-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip and after optimizing all 199 applications the lock screen appeared and everything seemed fine. However a second later, a pop-up appeared delivering the crash of the google play services. After pressing on "ok" (the only option), the phone switched off and began optimizing the apps again and again, showing the boot sequence in-between. After a while, I tried to install the update again through TWRP and I failed again. Then I tried to restore my backup from the 19th April I had probably made with Nandroid Backup (not exactly sure) and I failed again. Now I have turned off my phone entirely so that it won´t get too hot.
Does anybody know how to fix this issue (preferably without wiping)? And do you think, should I stay with the nightlies or switch to Cyanogen OS 12 (how?)
Best regards from the android newbie,
George (ambach10)

Try reflashing slim's gapps package.

Thanks for helping me. I did, but it just continued to optimize. I also tried to install the newest cm12.1 update "cm-12.1-20150505-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip" by downloading it via a mac (is that a problem?) so that it would work with the newest gapps zip but I couldn´t even download the cm12.1 zip as it turned into a useless folder. Do you, or anyone else, know what to do know? I´m really frustrated that I cannot have access to my phone. I am also ready to wipe it, if necessary.

I've had this issue before. To fix it, I used these gapps, did a full wipe, then flashed everything all over again and it was working without any problems.
Also, I ended up just switching over to COS12 and am still running that. If you want, you can get that here.

Also, make sure you are running latest version of TWRP recovery (or whatever recovery you are using)... there are compression incompatibilities with some of the older versions.

Thanks everybody!
