Have had a few problems rooting my sgs2.
It is a generic unlocked UK handset using my Giffgaff sim.
Was running KI3, so Used CF root, flashed through ODIN, and after trying to update busybox it said that earlier version installed and it wouldn't update.
Problems started after this, CPU showing constant 50% Android system, and wouldn't charge when plugged in.
Solved this by flashing KI4, which was stable, good battery life etc, but for some reason i didn't stop there, and wanted latest firmware, with Swype Beta .23 - so flashed KJ3, all went well until reboot, when com.android.phone error/force close kept looping every minute. Plus showing no signal on system tray.
Then flashed KI8, which showed same error's!
So have no reflashed KI4, and currently no errors, and running smoothly
Just thought i'd post this incase anyone else was having similar problems.

Okay, there is some misinformation going on.
If you are running a stock EVO, 3G works fine (I just did the 25MB speed test at testmy.net and averaged 1.1Mbps - when ROOTED, I can't get the 6MB test to finish).
When running a rooted EVO in Denver, for some reason, 3G cuts out constantly and won't last more than 2 minutes... generally about 30 seconds and then it dies for a few minutes or until you make a phone call, reboot, put it in airplane mode, etc.
I have tried literally EVERY ROM including the "stock rooted" ROM and they ALL exhibit this behavior.
The only thing I can think of is that something is amiss when flashing the new radio without using the official HTC update package but I'm not feeling like re-rooting my phone all over again with the old radio just to find out.
How many people are experiencing this?
I rooted my EVO and began having issues... Probably about the 13th as stated in the thread... Got really annoyed and flashed the stock RUU (had to take the rom.zip from the Temp folder and rename it to PC36IMG.zip in order to flash though because RUU would not find the phone)... Problem instantly was resolved. Ran the OTA update to get the new radio, thinking it was a radio problem, nope. Still works perfectly fine.
I decided I wanted to try EVOlution V8 today so I re-rooted. Right off the bat, 3G issues. I rooted manually, then NAND, then recovery, then flashed the new radio, REBOOTED, went back into recovery and flashed the ROM...
Now I just ran the RUU and flashed back to stock and everything is working fine. So there is something about the procedure to root that is causing the problem and I don't know if its Denver-specific or what...
I can tell you I didn't have any problems until I unlocked NAND and flashed the permanent recovery. Toast's original root gave me no issues... but that may just be coincidence.
If I decide to stop being lazy, I may re-root and skip updating the radio and see what that does... But for now, I have to conclude it is a rooting issue, NOT a network issue.
I recently had some issues with my GPS so I used Odin to go back to stock firmware, everything was still ok after this and my GPS was back to working order. Then I used CF auto root to root my device again/use TWRP recovery. Then I flashed the latest PAC nightly and gapps with seemingly no problems. The phone worked fine for 2-3 days until one day when it was in my pocket I got a warning saying something along the likes of "SIM card has been removed. Reboot required." Rebooting would make the sim come back online momentarily until it would randomly come back up. There didn't seem to be any correlation with any new apps I had installed or things I did on my phone to cause this error. I thought perhaps it was the ROM so I tried reflashing (complete with factory wipe) and the problem still happened. I also tried wiping factory->system->cache&dalvik before reflashing..again it worked but only briefly. I tried going back to stock but it still happens. Right now I'm running task650s aokp and it still comes up..the sim works in other phones no problem. Any ideas on what might be going on/how to fix this issue?

So, I bought an unlocked and used Verizon s5 from eBay running lolipop 5.0 and my friend rooted it with king-root via Odin so I could remove some installed bloatware other then that it was a stock rom. It was fine for a month approx the Verizon pushed a voice mail app/message update and now my s5 randomly reboots, gets caught in boot loops and earlier was getting "system process inst responding", and battery power changes from charged to low levels.
I have taken my sd card, taken out and reinserted the battery (only have one so cannot try a new one), wiped cache for recovery menu and even factory reset the install king-root app one touch root. any help would be appreciated.
Random reboots normally mean kernel errors same as blue screen of death on windows so I would recommend reinstall official lollipop firmware via odin then Reroot
Alright so a while back I created a post here about some problems I was having with the stock rom I was running back then. Got some answers (thanks btw) and after some more problems I finally was able to flash Alexndr rom, but the problems were still there (random reboots, battery was draining hard and died at 25%, slow). I was told that the reason for these problems were that I didn't install a different bootloader, which was mandatory. I have been busy the past few days so didn't really have any time. But this morning my phone suddenly had a random reboot and weirdly, when it rebooted a factory reset was done. So I decided that it was time to install the new BL, but ended up flashing the wrong one so got into a bootloop. Then i flashed it again with the right BL, first it seemed like there was no bootloop because i got into the regular screen (choosing language etc.) but suddenly it started rebooted, and it didn't stop. It always gets to the language screen, sometimes to the wifi screen but after that it still reboots. Because i really needed my phone to work i flashed the stock rom again, also a bootloop.
So i hope you guys have any ideas how to fix this, because i have no clue what to do. And i really need my phone because my sister is in the hospital and i need to be able to get calls.
Thanks in advance.
This is the stock ROM btw: N910FXXS1DPC2 (German, android 6)
AND BUMP!!
Really in need for some answers
Hey guys, I had custom rommed my phone a few months ago and got tired of its problems so I went back to stock. I had the Echo illusion ROM and apps kept crashing, Bluetooth would disconnect after a few seconds of not having any music playing, ect. So I flashed Verizon stock rom with Oden and it worked on the first try. But after going through the set up process I saw it had an update. So I updated my device and it looked like it worked just fine. But then it popped up again saying I had a software update available. After going through that process again I saw that it still is at the same software it was at before the update, and it's still saying there is an update available. Any suggestions? The only thing I can think of is getting Verizon software manager and updating it from a computer. But I don't even know if that would work
