Little background - been running cm7 for a long time. Flashed the alpha/beta builds when cm10 work started. The alpha worked well, but as the betas progressed and then the nightlies came, the constant freezing and random rebooting basically made the nook unusable. A sd card install experienced the same issues. Since no one else seemed to be experiencing these issues, I just went back to çm7 and have used that since.
Flash forward to today, thought I'd give a stable 10.1.2 a try. Same issues, if it doesn't reboot or freeze on the cm boot screen then it will do it in the setup screen. Wiped data/cache of course. Anyone experienced these issues or have any ideas on a solution? It'd be nice to experience some jellybean goodness. Thanks.

Do you flash new gapps as well?

Only thing I could add is that when I flash a new rom, I boot up into that rom before I go back into TWRP and flash gapps. I have never had the issues you describe. I see you are coming from CM7. That takes a Factory Reset along with a wipe of Cache and Dalvik Cache.

Did the last suggestion help? I added it later so you might have missed it but I'm sure you not performing a Factory Reset when flashing is the root of your problem.

Hi everyone
I'm new to Nexus S, was using Zte Blade. Well, it's an unpleasant experience of me having so many random reboots with every ROM i tired in last two weeks.
My Blade was rock solid for every thing i threw at it. I tried every Blade rom and never have these strange reboots.
On nexus S, I tried every single ROM that i found on xda-dev, still having these random reboots.
Any suggestion are warmly welcome, all i need is a stable ROM without reboots.
Device info:
Nexus S, i9023
Thanks alot.
regards

Give the oxygen rom a try. Has been very stable for me. I had a lot of random reboots with anything cm7 based.

Go back to stock. Nothing beats stock when it comes to stability and speed. I'd suggest Odin back to grh78 and then ota update.
Or you could also flash your first nandroid. I have not had a single reboot since the day 2.3.4 was released and I switched back to stock from cm7
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Before you go back stock, try Peter Alfonso's ROM. I suffered badly from reboots under CyanogenMod based ROMs but now everything works how it should.
Thanks everyone for your kind suggestions.
I conclude, i should try oxygen and Alfonso. If the situation remains the same then i will return to the stock.
Tonight i'm gonna try oxygen.
I had similar issues. Been on Oxygen ROM for about a week now. Zero reboots. Fantastic ROM.
FWIW, I have even had random reboots on stock Rom/kernel unrooted!

I'm a CM7 fan really, but I overslept too many times because it rebooted during the night and bootlooped and so my alarm didn't go off!

If you had the same issue on a stock rom (pre 2.3.3) you need to get a new device. This is not normal in any way.

Hi everyone
I think i have found the solution for random boots--at least working for me.
I tried oxygen, alfonso and every other rom in forum with no luck.
Finally i figured out that the common thing among all these ROM flashes is the radio image (XXKD1-GRJ22).
I flashed an older radio XXKB1-GRJ40 and it apparenly solved the issue of random reboots for me. I'm observing it for last 15+ hours.
I will report back after a couple of days.
Cheers
I'm still on my stock ROM with just root permissions and I'm getting random reboots every once in a while. Before I was rooted I had one or maybe random reboots that I remember and one of the times it just reboot while it was in my pocket. I rooted my phone two days ago and since then my phone has randomly rebooted itself about 4 times already. I had the two mods added which were the touch screen and video bitrate mod. After I seen it happen more than usual after adding those mods I reverted back to stock. I was wondering if anyone else is having these types of issues maybe perhaps a bug in the stock 4.2.1.

might be a widget. a lot of people are having luck with the franko kernel. but his r16 build released earlier today started giving people random reboots. he either has it fixed already or is in the middle of doing so. the r15 build that i am on is great. but i would wait for the 16. the changelog looked pretty good.

I saw an article from android authority that said Google is aware of the random. Reboots and working on a fix soon. I just reed that after the post.
Can I flash francos kernel on my stock ROM ? Won't that cause problems. ?

wouldn't hurt to wipe anyway. ill stop wiping and see if i notice a difference though, so far i dont notice any. so id probably just skip out on wiping as it does seem useless because my phone still feels the same
hi i previously had a sony xperia s and when i rooted it and everytime i powered it on i used to say android is upgrading and would scan through my apps and this also happens to my mums galaxy s2. so i wanted to know that when rooting the nexus 4 does that happen as well and if it does how do you remove it.
thanks
It sounds like your dalvik cache was being wiped at boot and thus had to be rebuilt every time. Were you using V6 supercharger?

No, it shouldn't. Rooted mine a few days ago and I believe the updating thing only happened on the first reboot. Haven't seen it since. It will show up each time you flash a new ROM and then after installing a new app and rebooting. At least my Galaxy Exhibit always did.
android is upgrading is your dalvik getting rebuilt. you either have a mod that is doing this or you are using a root app that has wiping the dalvik as a feature thats enabled. since it happens on your sony too, im willing to bet its the same app that you are using on both devices.
Simms is right (when isn't he ). There is probably a root app building your dalvik cache on reboot. It's been happening to me too. I Googled a little and found out TiBU was causing it. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and everything is fine now.
Thanks

Hi all,
Issue with TWRP and restore. I've got a backup, but when I tried to restore it, it would crash and reboot while restoring the /data partition. I try wiping the /data partition (I have my backup on a server, too) and it crashes midway through that, too. Just reboots and returns to TWRP.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Ben
Wipe cache, dalvik cache, fix permissions, then restore.

I'm currently restoring the factory 4.2.2, then installing TWRP and adb'ing the files back over to try restoring again. Hopefully this works.

This issue is mentioned over in the official TWRP forum under "Original Android Development" The Dev acknowledged it, saying he needs to fiddle with it... Might not be bad if you poked your head in there with any other information you could add...
*fingers crossed* Hope they get it patched up soon... I'm a little restore shy now. Up until I encountered this, I was swapping ROMs on a nearly daily basis... No anymore.
I started over again, like you, and it works ok now. But I don't know when/if the problem will rear its ugly head again, so holding off until I hear more.

I'm having the same problem with 2.5.5.0. Happens probably 30% of the time and always during the data restore. It completes on the second go-round, but I'm constantly holding my breath. I was under the impression that this was taken care of in this latest version.

Ain't it the truth.
So I just tried doing the same with my phone and the installation failed, something about illegal instruction. I'm running CM 10.1 on an unlocked, S-OFF HTC Vivid.
Any ideas?

No, I tried with RomToolbox, same method as with the N10. I choose 2.3.3 0 from the list, so I assume it was the Holiday version. The first time I tried, it claimed I didn't have permission, but I think that was because it was the first time I was using Rom toolbox since flashing CM so the permission popup came after the fact. I rebooted and that was when the message changed to invalid instruction.
Edit: Tried again with 2.4.1.0. Same result. But I located the files and they are holiday, so I can just flash with fastboot, I guess.

UPDATE: don't need anyone testing this anymore as it is not fixing most reboots
Can someone who is running custom recovery and has bad/frequent reboots install the attached file and see if it alleviates your reboots?
Please let me know what version of the OS you are running and if you are on JSS15J or JSS15Q, whether you updated via factory image or OTA.
I am 99.99% sure nothing bad will happen to your system. This will not disable your ability to get OTAs, nor change any system files, nor affect touchscreen, nor affect GPS, ...

If it works, it should work ok with CM as long as you run it in TWRP.
It doesn't actually touch the ROM. It uses the kernel to reset the DDR3 memory timings and allows the system to retrain.
