After it shuts down try getting immediately to recovery and running "adb pull /process/last_kmsg" . Otherwise run an RUU.

No good, I'm afraid
went back to stock, but when I test it (taking pictures with flash on) it shuts down.
I cnahged / upgrade the radio, changed the Hboot, went back to froyo, but the problem is still there.
any ideas?

Question: Is this problem related to battery?
The phone crashes only when I receive calls when batter low
or when I take a photo through camera with flash on.
It only happened when I changed ROM. and changing ROMs has not fixed the problem for me.
i have the similar problems....
but theres no specific reason for it to shut down or reboot.....
phone will work without any reboot for max 2 days.....
there may be a reboot with in 2 days..............and it may shut down automatically and i need to pull out the battery to restart it again...
changing the rom even to ARHD wont resolve the problem..........
anybody have any ideas ????????

If changing ROMs doesn't fix it then it maybe an app or you OC/UV settings. Could also be the way your flashing or your sdcard

I strongly recommend that you get a logcat and post it. No guarantees that someone will help you, of course, but it'll increase the chances, since it's a solid way to get some hard information.

Here's my Log recorded just before phone got crashed.
Anything at all!
Disappointing, no help at all
I'm just going to post updates , maybe somebody decides to help.
- Used Set CPU to change setting to min, as some suggetsed. but no change
- interesting thing is that when photos are taking without flash on, no problems, but as soon as flash is on, the phone crashes
- also some people said battery might need replacing, I don't think this is correct as it only happens as soon as I upgraded the software.

I am on the 3 Network(UK), my phone is branded, no lagfix, no root, im on froyo 2.2 oficial upgrade through kies.
Can someone please give me a simple step by step guide on how to upgrade to the JPY 2.2.1 firmware please, i have the 3 button recovery option btw.
Thank you in advance.

I'd go for a custom rom jpy based like docs or darkys and install through clockwork or you can go to samfirmware to download jpy and use odin to flash it up to you or just do as above and use patcher but jpy is definetly worth it.
The first time i tried the kies patch utility i got a messags saying there were more than 1 phone folders which threw me a bit, but managed to sort it in the end.
So now on ....

Hi Kayno
Set the "Enable Spoof" to True
Set "Spoof product code as" to XEU from the list
Then click on the Write Regstry button in the bottom right
Thats all you have to do, then voila when you start kies and connect your phone you should have a popup saying a firmware upgrade is available.
Good luck

Also did you save the Rom through Kies. Was a bit confused when i read this part on the Kies Registry patcher thread.
By the way hows your experience with the new firmware been so far. Is 3G and WIFI working correctly. Have you tried the app market. Hows the overall speed of the phone and is gps working better now.
Sorry for all these questions but i just wanted to determine whether the risk of updating is worth it.

No, i didnt save the Rom, 3g and Wifi are working fine but you will lose the My3 app because you will be basicly debranding your fone(if you are on contract), but if you start the default browser it takes you direct to My3 .
Havnt tried GPS , dont use it tbh.
The speed of the phone is so much smoother imo, im so glad i upgraded.
Hope that helps

Jaytwo,
My installation failed. Did you manage to flash it on the first go. I did exactly as you said. The thing is it finishes downloading in about 15 mins then fails installation. I also had the multiple folder detected problem. I clicked on ok on the registry patcher to delete the folder and re-started keys with the sgs connected.
The phone disconnects and after about couple of minutes is says Failed to convert to upgrade mode. Please try later.
Does anyone else know how to fix this? Am i doing anything wrong
thanking you in advance
Yes it flashed first time for me.
When the phone disconnected did you do anything?
I noticed when i flashed that the phone disconnected but i didnt touch anything and left it to carry on, it took a while but all went well in the end.
Try flashing again, just to check do you have the 3 button recovery option on your phone?

Hi Jaytwo,
I have not touched the phone when it disconnected as i remember from a previous upgrade to Froyo from Eclaire when it disconnected and then reconnected before completing the upgrade.
I have the 3 button recovery i checked it. The wierd thing is the phone did not reboot to downloading mode where the yellow android digging man picture appears. The phone stays as it is. I wonder whether samsung changed anything recently.
kingconnought, on the main registry patcher thread also mentioned he is experiencing the same problem.
Can anyone else help.
Thanks again
I dont understand why your phone will not go into download mode as that is part of the flashing process.
Try doing a factory reset through settings on your phone, then try flashing again, apart from that im not sure what else you can do apart from flashing thru odin?

LOL... This will be my 5th time.
By the way i thought il tell you this. If you ever want to for God knows whatever reason re-brand your phone to 3 then select the H3G product code and it should Flash your phone to the latest 3 branded Froyo which is JP5.
If i have to resort to Odin then i might as well wait for 3 to update their version to 2.2.1 as im too scared to Flash via Odin as there is too many risks associated with it. Or who knows Samsung may decide to release another version which might work.
Thanks
I got a quick question about this subject. Ik have no experience without android firmware flashing. Do ik need to backup stuff like imei number? For when the **** hits the fan. And if so how do ik do that?

It was 5th time lucky thanks to your recommendation to factory reset the phone. i factory set the phone again after upgrade and it is taking off like a rocket. Still yet to check everything but i have lost access to My3 as you said. I will let you know if i can manage to get access again.
Thanks for all your help mate. I apreciate it
And how to fix it!?
Basically for the last two days I have been trying to root my phone unsuccessfully. The problem is with the hboot driver and it not working. The first time i installed the driver it seemed to go fine, but after plugging my Wildfire into the usb I got a new hardware message and it was trying to find "ADB"..
Anyways unrevoked obviously did not find my phone so today I have uninstalled the driver and tried to update it again. At first it seemed to be going well, but then it asked for winusbcoinstaller.dll from disc.. I tried to link a picture but because of my low post count I cant.
Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it?
Many thanks in advance and sorry if its in the wrong section.

Umm not sure if it can be done without, you could try and if no good you'd have to use one.
Get yourself an sd card. You can't access internal memory so you are screwed until you get one...
You need to also tell us what version of Android you are on as the can be a deciding factor in what you need to do... Some things that will fix one version of android won't help the next... If you don't know what this means you should do A LOT of reading before trying this stuff again, read about Kitkat and Jellybean...

You right, i should read about it alot more.
I rooted my Galaxy s Advanced already with a noob guide, so i fould it would be easy to do it again.
Guys, im verry frustrated now, im a real noob who fold he could do this easily, without thinking or reading anything i tried to flash my demo unit.
Now i have a huge problem because this phone is not mine.
Anyone who has a solution, the thing earlier pronounced in this topic didnt help.
Get yourself a stock rom and flash it using ODIN and stock recovery might do the trick but make SURE you flash the CORRECT ROM.
Correct rom depends on what you had running. If you where running kitkat you MUST flash kitkat again. If you had 4.3 you better stick to that until it's up and running again.

Ahh, not you did not mention you had a DEMO unit. That changes everything.. As DEMO unit's don't have radio's in them so you cannot flash a modem from what I am aware..

DEMO units don't have radios?
That's new to me.
So Samsung actually goes through the effort of separately manufacturing them....weird Sammy.

Yeah they don't have a radio on the MB - guess it's to stop people actually using the device early etc -- They use specially adapted firmware also

In my country (India), they just keep the Snapdragon version (official is the Exynos) for DEMO pieces and just rely on the region lock to keep people out.
I tried so hard to buy one of them, but nobody agreed. Finally got mine from overseas.
Hi guys...
Now today was a total disaster..
my phone was getting slow and i decided hey, lets root the phone and install some new custom roms so i can get rid of them unessessary programs..
WELL... this is where it went totally wrong.
After trying to wipe the phone before installing the new custom rom and gapp, I by accidently removed the _WHOLE OS_ on the phone, and now all that I can do with it,
is boot it and when it boots it gets stuck on the Galaxy S4 screen at the very beginning..
Now I have no clue what to do and how to get my phone working again...
If there's anyone who could help me to get it up running again I would appreciate it Alot, and I mean ALOT.
My phone is Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
Please someone help.
And as I said, the phone is totally empty ( I guess.... ) ?
Can you get into download mode? You need to go to Sam mobile and download your firmware and then use Odin 3.09 to flash it to your phone?

Hi mate,

Do you have installed a custom recovery yet? if so just pull out your external SD use an adapter or other phone copy the desire rom and gapps
put it back in your phone enter recovery and flash....
if not custom recovery do as @parkerj7uc said

yeahh, i can get into download mode, but the thing is that I don't have an SD card, so my phone is completely empty, nothing on my phone and I don't have a SD card to copy anything to...
So I guess i'm totally screwed then?...
I once made a mistake like this and seems like I didn't learn from it, but I got a link from someone to download the file from and just flash it with odin and the phone started working again.
Is there a way to still do this? and if so how do i find a link to get it from :s
I'm panicing here

Pull the battery let it sit about 2 mins. Put the battery back in and reboot and tell me what happens.

OK Google on how to check a md5. Your md5 on your download needs to match the one in the website you got it from. It could be a bad download. If they match I recommend re doing the process. If they don't then you need to download it till they do.

It sounds to me that the download was bad. How long did it take to download
