[Q] Black screen after CM RC2 install

The other day I installed the new CM RC2 rom on my HTC Wildfire. Everything went fine for the couple of days until it went into sleep mode and I could not come out of it. I had to pop the battery and when still problems, I re-installed rom - again with flashed kernal 4.1 and up to date gapps.
Managed to get it working. But then same thing again. Overall I had to re-install 5 times yesterday alone!
Out of frustration I tried to re-install my CM RC1 from before with the kernal 4.1. And this was fine again for about an hour, then again, mobile went into sleep mode, and again was left with black screen. Again not able to come out of it.
Am at a loss as to how to get my mobile back up and running. If anybody can help, this would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Does this happen with all ROM's, or simply CM7? Also, what are your overclock values and SetCPU Profiles, if any?

Have only tried cm7 so far. and cpu was not touched. was left at default settings. Am not able now to even boot into recovery. Totally DEAD!

Probably a hardware issue. I doubt CM7 can have such far reaching implications as to make the phone dead. Anyhow, this issue looks uncannily similar to this

Thats worrying.
If I do manage some how to get it switched on, is there anything that you can suggest to stop this happening again?
Also keeping the battery out of the mobile for a 5 mins, SHOULD that help instead of just taking out and imediatley replacing?

Doesnt sound too good. If you manage to switch it on you could try setting your minimum cpu speed to 245mhz+ Although it sounds like you have more serious issues. If its still under warranty I would consider returning it

Thats what I feared.
Thing is, cause it is rooted, it is out of warranty. I dont think I have a leg to stand on.

Its worth a try, they may not even check/notice that its rooted

Well.......
I managed to get it switched on. And decided to try and install Wildpuzzle as I had that on the phone before with no problems. And so all was well......
....untill just now.
Mobile went into sleep mode, and when I pressed the power button to get into it, black screen. Wouldnt come out of sleep mode. So had to pop battery again and after 10 mins, re booted it.
This seems to be the norm now. If it gets a chance to drop off into sleep mode, then I am stuck.
I am starting to pull my hair out.

Have just read on another thread that should try turning off auto rotation and auto brightness.
Fingers crossed this will work.

If the problem occurs throughout various ROMs it could well be hardware related. Flash an RUU (this will get rid of all traces of root) and return it

Will do.
Thanks

cant access cm7 rc2
any ideas why i cannot access or see any file in the website download.cyanogenmod.com regarding cm7 rc2 for buzz/wildfire?

[Q] Tiamat ROM Xoom Reboots

I have never been able to get a tiamat kernel to work on my xoom. I followed a set of directions to completely start from scratch (again, plus formatted whole xoom 3-4 times before doing that) and flashed Tiamat ROM and it worked! I was even able to OC to 1.4, 1.5, then tried 1.7 which caused it to freeze and crash. Then it started acting funky so I did a restore and everything is fine until I turn the screen off or let it turn itself off with a timeout.
The system reboots into M screen and/or a black screen. A reset or two gets it rebooted. I increased the min freq and reset max to 1ghz. What can I do to fix this?? Thanks!
--- Update --- The browser causes a reboot as well. Random reboots into black screen. Def could use some help

ALWAYS stays on black screen when screen times out. Also does it after clearing data via honeycomb. Looking for a little help, can't post on the ROM thread yet

Well I would start from new wipe everything and reflash. Can't hurt. Sounds like something is broke. You can also try to fix promissions as well.

I've completely formatted the xoom including the sdcard and then started w/ 3.0.1 then did the 3.1 flash via CWR then the ROM install. The booting is better after complete wipe but screen still doesn't come back on after a time-out or i shut screen off manually. Browser also causes are boot which takes me to a 2-3 'M' reboot which then times out into black screen. 2 or 3 resets later and it boots up but then reboots within a couple minutes.
The official 3.1 update had my browser crashing which is why i said screw it, i'll flash new stuff. Could def use a hand

I am going through the same symptoms. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Random reboots and browser closes all of a sudden, no force close warning..

Me as well I've tried everythingeverything. Currently on tiamat 1.1. With rc4 3.3.0

go into wifi settings and make sure your wifi disconnect policy is set to never

also occassionally find the xoom stuck on motorola boot screen without me trying to turn off or back on..

Ill try but I don't think the wiring has anything to do with the black screen. This will lock even if wifif is off

Mine didnt like 1.7 either, I ended up leaving it sat next to a desk fan for a while to cool it down whioe switched off, then very quickly when it booted managed to get into antutu widget to drop the speed down and hit apply before it locked up again, rebooted all fine now, set it to 1.2ghz to be safe..

Dude. I think this worked. I switched my wifi disconnect setting to, never while charging..it was set as, never(uses more battery power). I am currently on Tiamat 1.4.5 with CWM (rc4)3.2.0. Just let it chill over night and charge after a factory reset and viola. Have booted the screen in rotation and a few power offs. Even running at 1.2 g with set CPU. Been running smooth for 2 hours and I can't force it to even freeze. Could it really be that simple. Hahahah. Well see.

Motorola Atrix Sleep of Death

I've been having the sleep of Death since I got my atrix I never use wifi so it can't be that it many happens whilst browsing the Internet once finished I lock phone leave come back to it say 5 minutes later and I can't wake the fone so I have to pull the battery out to get it started
Dose anyone else have the happen to them iv tried reset full flash but it's still there
And could I ask what FakeBlurXmppApp.apk is because since I renamed it I ant had a sod?

I think renaming is the reason of problem if it is the only change you did to phone.
Stock roms usually don't have problems like that.
Sorry for not giving you a real help.

Na once I renamed it stopped going into sod

I had the same issue with my Motorola Photon 4G, people are having this issue, I don't understand why it keep doing this, how stupid?

The first time this happened to me I just plugged it in around 60% and went to bed and when I woke up in the morning there was nothing. Even taking the battery out and putting it back in, only the LED cokes on briefly but Jo other signs of booting and the only way I fixed it was by plugging it into a computer, or as I found out the second time an XBOX 360 so I'm thinking just something with a data connection, and pulling it out as soon as the LED flashes green then plugging it into the wall charger. Then the phone came up with the battery charging screen at 0%. After it charged I booted up like normal and it was fine for awhile until one time it died and I had to repeat the process to get it to come back up.

Send it in for a replacement, i had two do this to me and both ended up going out. They were unlocked but once they went out AT&T could not tell.

are you on a stock rom or custom rom? before calling for a new one try flashing 1.2.6 sbf and reroot and unlock the bootloader again.it wont say unlocked when you first flash the sbf reboot and reroot but it still is, itll say the boot loader is already unlocked when you go to unlock it thats fine just reboot and itll be back at the top. im saying this cause i had a similar problem and i couldnt turn the phone on or charge it at all i ended up using a different atrix to charge my battery when i turned it on it was stuck at the dual core boot logo. flashing this sbf fixed my brick and the no charging problem but youll be on the earliest firmware for the phone and have to redo all the rooting process. its worth a try and if it doesnt work then send it back.hope this helps.

I no don't think FakeBlurXmppApp.apk is making my phone sod as I've had it twice today its driving me nuts I don't no what's making it happen in another got no apps installed

Root/unlock causes this
I can tell you the issue is caused by either the unlocking of the bootloader or rooting. I unlocked, rooted, and installed a custom rom my 1st stock atrix and had this issue. I also had a hardware defect with the front camera lens so i returned it to stock via sbf prior to returning it. The problem disappeared. My new atrix worked perfect and after a couple days I unlocked and rooted but left the stock rom. Guess what, sleep of death returned, sbf to stock everything is fine. BTW I was using romracers recovery. So Im not sure if its rooting or unlocking or romracers recovery but it is one of the three. Hope that helps.

i also have similar issues. it has some thing to do with deep sleep mode..as long as phone does not go in to deep sleep as son as screen is off the problem never happens.
so i tried wifi wizard and advanced wifi lock apps from market.wifi wizard switches on wifi when ever the screen is on. advanced wifi lock prevents phone from going into deep sleep.you can set a timeout.this works like a charm.i rarely get sod.

Rooting isn't the cause. My first Atrix was rooted & I never had that problem. My second Atrix started right awaywith the SOD, shortly after the OTA update.
And I'm my opinion, unlocking is absolutely necessary. If I hadn't unlocked my previous Atrix so that my backup applications and data syncing would work properly, I would have really been screwed. But every other day my phone backs up my data and once I'm home, uploads out to my home pc.

May be a little premature, but my current Atrix was have SOD & random reboot issues. I had given up & ordered a replacement. However, I changed the screen time out to never & I haven't had a freeze or reboot yet. I'm on day two & I've made a point to turn my wifi on and off. Hope this solves the problem. Guess I'll know if I make it through next week with no freezes.

i bought my atrix within one month of the launch I have always had the sod it has nothing to do with the rom although some roms will make it not happen as much my wife got her atrix like in September and she has never had sod. i just put up with it i plan to leave att once my contract is up
EDIT... reminds me to see if it is up don't remember if its one or 2 yrears

SOD Fix
I was SOD free being rooted, BL unlocked, running rom racers recovery, CM7 then Neutrino 2.6 then my phone decided format its internal partition on me. My phone is back up running now and I was getting the SOD a couple times a day. I fixed it by following 1chris89's fix here. I've been SOD free so far on day two running an OC kernel. 1chris89's fix a bit involved, editing the build.prop file, and based on cm7 flavored ROMS, changing the performance settings. Be careful when messing with the build.prop file and make a backup before attempting! Check out Xploited's guide here for a less involved method to fix your SOD. Hope these help!

OK! But... where can I find this "cm7 performance menu"?

I'm on Neutrino 2.6, to get to it I have to put a short cut on one of my home screens. First long press on your home screen and choose shortcut then choose cyanogenmod settings then choose performance settings.

would if i cannot even get into my phone to change the settings. Can someone with skillz put it into something that i can flash [1chris89's fix]?
it my just be a hardware issue for me also, but i did just get my know back from Motorola with a new screen installed.

When my phone does the SoD I can place a call to it, let it ring a few times, and then hang up. My display turns on and I can get get to the launcher to reboot the phone.
The SoD seems to get worse when I'm using the Bluetooth connection to my Sync system in my truck.

Random reboots on overclocked kernels (blueberry, benschold)

For some reason I'm getting random reboots on overclocked kernels. My phone freezes for a couple of seconds, then reboots.
And everytime my phone reboots (manual or not) the OnePlus logo bootloops for about 2 times before showing the bootanimation.
I'd gladly provide you with logs. But I read somewhere that they get deleted after reboot.
*EDIT*
I think I solved it. Read my reply underneath.

Alright, so I'm gonna try coming up with a solution for this.
I switched to a stock kernel, and I continued getting the reboots. But they were muuuch less frequent. So it's obviously related to my phone, and not the kernel.
So what I'm gonna try to do is follow this thread: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/battery-problem-fix.240256/
I'm gonna do it for 3 cycles. If it works, I'll update this post (might need someone to remind me) If it doesn't, then I'm gonna try other things to solve it (and update this thread). But this should be the final and only solution, hopefully. I'm currently on CM13. If this doesn't work on CM13 I might flash OOS.
Anyways, I'm at the end of the first cycle. The reason I think it's the battery is because my phone would randomly reboot and if I went into recovery mode, it'd say 50%. No matter what percentage before. Or it wouldn't show any counter at all.
*EDIT*
I think this solved it

I believe the issue is because of doze. I had these reboots after I stopped using my phone for 1-2 hours (when doze kicks in) and the phone would begin rebooting every ~10 minutes. When I used doze editor to force doze to start faster I started getting reboots in 5-10 minutes and when I disabled doze there would be no problem with rebooting at all.

After the first cycle I haven't had a single reboot. Been running benchmarks on both stock and oc kernel to put the phone at 100% load and it hasn't crashed yet. I think this worked. I'm gonna report if it randomly reboots at lower battery levels.

I think you should try a non CM rom, preferably tipsy because I'm on tipsy with ben's kernel and haven't had a single random reboot in days.

After doing one cycle of this, the phone rebooted randomly once. Which I think was because of a software bug.
Been running Slim6 since yesterday. Not a reboot here either.

nexus 4 randomally shuts off?

have an old nexus 4 i wanted to try fixing a few issues with so i could keep using it as a backup phone.
It likes to sometimes not wake up from stand by. i'll go to use it and the screen won't wake up and it is hard to get to reboot but eventually does then works fine for a bit then repeat. Sometimes even when the battery is fully charged i could go to sleep one night wake up in the morning and it's like it just randomally shut down and is sometimes hard to start other times not, but always has to fresh boot.
not sure what the issue is.
i have re flashed OEM roms in the past to try and fix the issue, and ofc it just updates to 5.1.1
>< all help appreciated.

probably battery issue

It's probably battery. Does the phone shut down on charge?

I have same issue and I don't think that it's something wrong with the battery, because I already changed the battery and nexus 4 still freezes sometimes. And it's looks like freeze, not regular shuted down phone, because it's hard to wake up after that happens.
I read somewhere that this may be issue with internal memory, but I'm not sure about it.

Had same issue running on stock 5.1.1 or something like this. Shut downs, reboot, frozen screen, don´t wake up, start problems, networking complete breakdowns.......installed Lineage 15.1 official and no such issues so far.
So it might be Android related.
So best thing, unlock bootloader by Nexustoolkit, flash latest custom recovery TWRP (you have to flash an older version first, if not having TWRP allready) and then install Lineage 15.1 official. Use instructions provided by XDA. It might be dropped, but it runs great.
