[Q] uids on the system are inconsistent

Hello,
I'm currently in some trouble with my phone.
Yesterday out of no thing I got the mentioned error "uids on the system are inconsistent you need to wipe your data partition"
My Moto G was only unlocked and rooted and basically Stock FW.
After I got this error I was like "well this sucks but ok" so I booted into the recovery (I pre-installed the recovery from the Cyanogen Mod thread) wiped it and booted again but nothing, the error still appeared.
So my next step was to try to flash a custom rom - I flashed CyanogenMod which ended in a boot loop. I flashed a stock firmware again aaaaand yes, the UIDs error was still persistent.
I also wiped the dalvik cache and the fix on the internet "use fix permissions in recovery" does not work as there is no such menu entry :/
So yeah, please help to resolve this this problem - I like my phone

I had this problem, and I was able to fix it through my TWRP Custom Recovery. You're using a CWM recovery, right? I searched, and found that there is an option to fix permissions in CWM. Advanced > Fix Permissions.

Probably the cleanest solution HERE

[Q] "com.android.systemui has stopped" when rebooting CM11 on xt1032

I've unlocked the bootloader, rooted my Moto G (xt1032) with superboot and installed CWM recovery on it. So I tried installing Cyanogenmod 11 (cm-11-20140405-SNAPSHOT-M5-falcon.zip at the moment) for my device and initially, everything works fine. It boots pretty smooth and downloads all the apps from the Google Play Store. But when I reboot the device I get the error "Unfortunately com.android.systemui has stopped" a few times. After clicking "okay" I get to enter my PIN for my SIM card, but then it just gets worse. The error pops up constantly and I have no possibility of selecting anything else. The apps on my wallpaper dissappear and appear again, the wallpaper switches to fullscreen, then normal again and so on. Wiping cache or dalvik cache does nothing, only a factory reset helps. Then it installs all the apps again, but when I reboot, the same problem persists.
Some threads suggested it may be an app and since it only happens when I reboot, could it be an app that launches on boot?
Others suggested trying an older version of Cyanogenmod (which is why I'm using M5 at the moment. M6 gave the exact same problem). Or has it something to do with the gapps file I'm using?
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Mine did this once and what worked for me was fixing permissions.

Tried fixing permissions before even installing any app. Rebooted, no luck. Still the same error without even a google account linked or app installed.

Do you remember which permissions exactly?

You need to do it from your recovery. In TWRP, there is a button that says "Fix Permissions." I'm sure it's available in CWM, as well.

CWM recovery didn't have a fix permissions setting, so I flashed TWRP through fastboot. Fixed permissions, rebooted: same error.
Did another factory reset and cache, sideloaded CM11 snapshot M5 and GApps to TWRP, flashed again. CM11 booted fine, just like it always does the first time. Had to reboot into recovery in order to fix permissions (wasn't able to do that right after I flashed CM). Rebooted again and still the same error.

Try manually wiping system, data, cache, and dalvik. If that doesn't work, try a different gapps package. If it still gives the same error after that...then I don't know.

I had the same problem : I just flashed cm nighglies instead and waited for one enough stable...

[Q] flashing from cm11 to 12 nightly then PA bootloop help needed

ok so here is what i have done and what has happened. so far google and the search box keep taking me to threads with similar problems but those fixes dont work or do not apply to me afaik.
so i started on cm11s stock rooted on the One. (bootloader is already unlocked)
checking the PA rom thread it said if you are flashing from cm11 make sure to flash to cm12 first, then flash gapps.
once that is working get into recovery mode (twrp in my case) clear cache and dalvik then flash PA rom
done that then ended up in an android apps loading bootloop. i have flashed GAPPS also but still remaining in the bootloop.
now if i go back to cm12 i can get to the homescreen and use it a little. but once i plug the usb cable in (connected to PC) it reboots. it also reboots randomly. i have since just wiped the entire phone. now once im on the homescreen i try to access the internal storage in windows and the device appears but does not show anything. i am trying to copy the PA rom zip and Gapps zip to the phone to try flashing again. since it has been crapping itself i have been using adb sideload to flash files.
so what am i missing, what have i forgot to do along the way?
cm11 to cm12 then PA as per instructed is giving me a bootloop (with wiping cache+dalvik when supposed to)
any help is appreciated,
cheers,
kanjo

The PA thread actually says to flash PA over the top of CM12 while only wiping cache and dalvik cache? No wiping system or data? I'd put money on that being the cause of your problems. The only reason to flash CM12 first is to have the proper updated firmware installed in preparation for PA. Leaving the system and data partitions intact before flashing a different ROM (PA over CM12) is asking for trouble.
Go into TWRP and perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache), then flash the PA zip and the gapps zip and reboot. Don't flash CM12 again because the firmware was updated the first time you flashed it.
EDIT: Exactly which thread are you getting these instructions from? Neither of the PA threads that I'm aware of contain those instructions.

was coming back just now to update whats happening.
i finally got PA to boot. after many many fresh installs of cm12. one booted without a loop. i went back to twrp did a factory reset (wipe of dalvik and cache) (device was already freshly wiped of all data) had tried this many times but it finally booted.
now i have some weird things happening., ie. if i go into settings and enable or disable ADB the phone reboots... it didn't have that happen when i was on cm11. so not sure why it is happening now.
further if i install GAPPS i get a boot loop of android is upgrading. not sure why. the only boot that seems to work is when i run PA no gapps and no SUroot. any ideas why this is happening? or for how long the android is upgrading is meant to loop. ive seen some people say it is normal and could last 10 minutes. ive sat through multiple sessions of this some 1hour+ long. so not sure what is going wrong. i dont usually have much trouble flashing roms. this one is puzzling.
**edit**
forgot to add when it does boot. well when it did,. its now on a Android is upgrading loop after flashing GAPPS and enabling root......
anyway when it did boot the homescreen would show an error saying "settings has stopped" not sure why that is happening either.

Just to be clear, you've wiped system, data, cache, and dalvik cache directly before flashing PA? No CM flashes since wiping all of those partitions?
Also, which thread are you getting those install instructions from? Neither of the PA threads that I'm aware of contain those instructions.

ill try to clean up what has happened here;
have tried booting to twrp. wiped all data,
flashed PA
booted. with weird errors (settings has stopped and reboots on usb plugged in or adb turned off or on)
tried to flash gapps and enable root
now bootloop of android is upgrading.
going to go back to twrp. wipe all data and flash PA again without gapps and without root. will report back in about 10 minutes. will flash by using TWRP and ADB sideload.
do i need to reflash cm12 if i clear all data in twrp? i saw you mention above once i have flashed cm12 once it will have the need FW files to go to lolipop (in this case PA rom) at the moment i am trying to sideload PA rom after wiping data, system, cache and dalvik. is this why i am having the issue?
im dead tired so i admit i can be making mistakes though everything i have done seems to be what i am meant to do. flashed from cm11 to cm12, cleared all data, then flashed PA+gapps and root. = upgrading boot loop and errors mentioned above. tried flashing just PA and it booted with same errors, flashed gapps and errors.
all the files MD5s look good. not sure what is wrong.
--edit--
okay now i am at homescreen on PA.
when enabling/disabling adb in dev settings i get a reboot. is this normal now? does it need to reboot to mount the filesystem or something?
when it does boot after enabling adb i get "settings has stopped"
going to go to TWRP and flash GAPPS now and leave root not installed. will report back in a sec.

You only need to flash CM12 once, ever. The wipes don't remove the firmware.
Right now this is the exact (and only) process you need to follow:
1. Boot into TWRP.
2. Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and data.
3. Flash ROM + gapps together.
4. Reboot phone.

Not sure why that's happening of you're following the correct process. Maybe try with a different ROM.

balls, was hoping to us PA, haven't used it since my old s3 and figured it was the rom for me again. will have to check the rom comparison spreadsheet and look into others.
right now i have sideloaded PA alone. will copy PA and gapps to the internal storage to make things easier.
but it doesnt look like it is going to work for me.
going to try it once more like you said but locally rather than through sideload. though the internal storage is deciding when it does and doesnt want to show up.
TWRP
wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and data.
and flash them both in tandem.
and for the fun of it when it asks if i want to install root i will let it go right ahead.
maybe this time it will work. if not then its a different rom for me. sadly.

okay so now **** got retarded. TWRP has been replaced by the stock cm11 recovery and i am too pissed off to think straight and cannot remember how to get this son of a ***** rooted again let alone to flash TWRP. i dont want to use any toolkits they all seem broken as hell.
can anyone point me in the right direction because ive just about lost my **** and this phone is going to meet my fist head on very shortly...
**edit**
done. after all this i am now on cm11 stock rooted ....seriously. hours upon hours, just to get back to where i started.
man i love when things go smoothly. anyway cheers for your help @Heisenberg . n

Cant get in to recovery and os.

Hi. I had cyanogenmod 12.1 20151114 . It showed me that i have updates and i downloaded them and flashed them. Then i got errors like "unfortunately google play services (or something like that) has stopped" ok. I wiped the /system, /cahce, /davlik and /data. Reflashed cm 13 20151202 and the error showed again. After several tries the error didnt pop on. I decided to install gapps. Downloaded open gapps micro or something like that for marshmallow and flashed it. Then i got a error showing "setup wizard has stopped". Those errors was endless. Then i wiped the /system partition trough fastboot. Then i tried to flash a rom or wipe through recovery and it showed an error that /system and /cache is missing. Then i tried to set factory settings through fastboot and now i cant get in to recovery. The recovery i have is TWRP v2.8.6.0.
How can i fix it?
I cant get in to os.
Can get in to custom recovery.
When wiping using the twrp recovery shows that unable to mount /system.
Can use fastboot. And use it trough the pc using usb.

I got in to the os.

I installed cm 13 20151202. Booted in and it works perfectly. But i want gapps. I know if i install them i will get the endless errors saying "setup wizard has stopped working" . Im afraid to flash gapps because i know that if i flash i wont be able to wipe /system cause when i wipe using the recovery in the proccess of wiping the phone shuts off and tries to normally boot. While the os is not wiped.

[Completed] getting a strange error after flashing CM13. Details inside the post. Please help!

I had CM13 on my Oneplus 3, and saw that there was an update. Turns out it was for CM14 and it wiped out my recovery(after further googling, I found out that it's a known issue - http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/boot-recovery-cm14-1-nightly-official-t3497425). So I flashed the custom TWRP recovery from that.
Then I proceeded to flash my last working update of CM13, and the ARM64 6.0 Nano GApps immediately after. I then wiped my dalvic cache and rebooted. It started booting up and the preparing apps screen started loading. But when it finished and I was at the phone setup screen(the screen you get when you first buy a phone and have to choose language, wifi etc), it shows me an error named - "unfortunately the process android.process.media has stopped one plus 3 boot"
I looked the error up online and all results are to go into settings and modify google sync settings, or delete gallery cache etc. But I never even get to reach that point to try it. I flashed CM14 and ARM64 7.1 Nano Gapps to see if maybe that would work, but got the same error. Then I downloaded the last snapshot from CM site with their recovery, but same error.
Can anyone please help me?
SOLVED: I wiped everything except Internal Storage from afvanced wipe of TWRP and reflashed CM13 along with Gapps. Now the phone booted up fine and I'll restore my apps using titanium backup.
