[Solved] stock XWKH4 force close of com.android.phone solved without wipe

---

Hello everyone,

I had flashed the new XWKH4 firmware from the frankenstein section of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278

After reboot there was no phone signal detected and I got repeated Force Close messages about com.android.phone service.

I got some hints from the following two posts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3853
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3867

Instead of doing a full wipe and trying to restore from backup I tried the following. I simply rooted the phone, copied the file

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/nwk_info.db

to the SD card for backup and deleted it and then immediately rebooted.

After reboot there was no problem and no more force closes. The deleted file had been recreated automatically. Although the file size was the same as before, the content obviously not (as shown by the md5sum of the files)

# pwd
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
# md5sum nwk_info.db
571db6e1b8ce040541c05adde3bde2a5  nwk_info.db
# md5sum /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/origfiles/nwk_info.db
381bc3abe6bc2a529dc9e046b03756e8  /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/origfiles/nwk_info.db

I had the same problem and went back to KH3 all fixed now ...

or just wipe cache partition in recovery

WTF? XWKH4? Is it available for a CLEAN INSTALL?

You can clean by performing a wipe from recovery mode. Although, I don't like it personally that much.

Just a cache wipe from recovery did not help for the force close issue, which is the reason for this thread.

Did you try going to settings> applications> manage applications and manually clearing data?

I had the same problem and no, clearing data does not help. I went the factory reset way, but was also thinking about this solution as factory reset formats data so clearing all settings.

Nice work, I had the same issue when flashing KJ3 from KI4 and this fix worked a treat!

Interesting, i wish I saw this post when i flashed XILA2 frankestein android.phone FC, so i went back to 2.3.4 pfft. Will give it another go tomorrow.

thanks for the info.

Yeah, I'm on XWLA4 since a few days, when I do a factory reset I also get that force close - however with all my data "in place" (not wiped since previous ROMs) all is running fine.

When I got some time I will definitaly try if this solves my FC after factory'ing.
