Need help - freezes and restarts

I updated my phone to latest liquidsmooth rom two days ago and the phone freezes and restarts/reboots randomly like sometimes when im on phone/ playing a game/ using browser/ connected to charger. Yesterday I changed rom to latest carbon rom. Did install (3 wipes) as told in the thread but im still having the reboots.
Im using TWRP recovery and had used Utility 1.10 to go back to stock from Energy rom with safestrap recovery.
Can tell me whats the prob? Is it the kernel problem?

Have you tried upgrading or reflashing TWRP and then doing a clean install of Carbon? Its probably worth doing a fresh download of each first just to make sure you cover all your bases. These reboots were happening to me a few months ago and it drove me mad. following these steps fixed it for me.

Honestly, if you're using SafeStrap, that might be your problem. Remove SS and flash the ROM in TWRP. If your bootloader is unlocked, you don't really want to use SS. Also, make a stock backup in TWRP, prior to flashing. This way, it will be easier for you to recover in the future, and you won't need to go through the painful process of fastboot.

Thanks man. I will upgrade TWRP or reinstall it first. Thanks for that tip. Will post again if it doesnt work.

Still having those restarts. Really irritating. Froze and rebooted 4 5 times today morning while I was on call and trying to message. I reflashed reinstalled everything. I used both Utility 1.10 and 1.20. Im getting reboots even the stock ROM after using the Utility. I am confused which Utility I should be using. I had no issue of rebooting before flashing using Utility. Can someone give me exact procedure to reflash so that i know i am not missing out anything.

you might need to do a clean install.
- what version of TWRP are you using (anything other than 2.4 should be fine)?
- to perform the clean install, mount system, then try wiping everything (system, factory reset, & internal storage) - DO NOT WIPE external SD (I presume this is where you store the ROM files
- after wiping, reboot recovery, then install whichever 4.2.2 ROM you want follow by the GApps (use the 3/2013 version)

Since TWRP wasnt working for me, I tried flashing with CWM recovery by hashcode. Still had reboots. I was using TWRP 2.3.2.3
When you say wipe everything, does it include 'modem' and 'pds'? Saw these two options also inside Mount/Format menu of CWM recovery.
Also there was an option 'Mount sdcard' (internal I suppose) but when i click it nothing happens it remains as Mount sdcard. Rest of it changes from Mount to Unmount. Is there some problem with that?
Do I have to just Mount system only? Also after rebooting recovery do I have to mount system again?
I try again as you said meanwhile.

nope, just system/factory reset/internal storage.
yes, make sure everything is mounted (checked) so that they read "unmount"

Did exactly like said. Got into CWM recovery. Mounted system. Formatted system, data, cache, sdcard. Did factory reset and wiped the caches. Then rebooted recovery. Then installed the ROM, 3/13 gapps, gsm fix. Reboot system. Still no use. I got 2 reboots in 5 mins in the ROM. I checked the md5 of the files and its ok. Dont know what else to try?

are you flashing a kernel at the same time?
I would recommend trying a basic 4.2.2 ROM right now - like unoffical AOKP.
another problem could be the GApps or GSM fix. try installing just the ROM without the GApps perhaps?
carbon was very solid too. unfortunately, I can't help you with the GSM fix, as I am CDMA.

PS. Should I flash another kernel with the ROM just in case ? I have been only installing ROM and gapps only till now.

GT-I9505 Constantly restarting

Hi all
Got an I9505 on O2 and since lollipop update it restarted a few times by itself. Now it keeps going into a loop where it will restart and the home screen loads, you can use it for about 20-30 seconds and it will reboot again!
Initially when I researched I though it was an app problem but couldn't find the culprit. Then I took it into the Samsung repair centre and they said it needed a clean flash by them. This didn't work and they fitted a new mother board and this still hasn't worked.
I can say that it has twice happened when the Wifi hasn't been working properly so I have turned it off but other than that I have no idea!
Also I have tried rebooting into safe mode but it still does it, aaarrrggghhhh!!!
Any ideas where I can go from here please?
P

Return to kitkat if you can. Otherwise use a custom rom. These would be my suggestions. Since Samsung's repair couldn't fix it, warranty should not be a problem anymore.

Thanks, I am more than willing to try a Custom ROM. Any recommendations? And how easy is it as never done before!

It's fairly easy. Depending on what S4 model you have. Some models have a locked bootloader and that makes the whole thing trickier.
This is what I did:
1) Root with CF-Auto-Root. Thread here.
2) Backup all my apps.
3) Install a custom recovery (TWRP). Download and instructions here.
4) Flash custom rom. Most roms have their own instructions.
You can skip 1 and 2 if you don't want to backup.
Installing a custom recovery can be done using Odin. I recommend TWRP since it's the only one I've used.
Lollipop GPE rom. I've used this rom and didn't have any issues. CM12 seems a bit faster, but the GPE was more stable and bug-free.

Thanks I tried to install the CM12 before you posted using the instructions there but it failed, I assume that it needs to be rooted.

You need a custom recovery to install any rom. It doesn't matter if it's rooted or not.
Get a custom recovery. Get all the necessary zip files (rom, gapps, etc). Place all the zip files on the external sd card. Boot into the custom recovery. Wipe /data, /cache and /dalvik-cache.
Go to Install (if on TWRP), go to the location where you saved the downloaded rom zip and select it. The swipe the slider to begin flashing. Afterwards flash the gapps zip. Reboot.
Also, don't use the recovery posted in the CM12 thread. It was specially made by the dev and will convert your file system to f2fs. What it basically means is that it will wipe your internal storage completely.

You don't have a custom recovery installed. That is probably the stock recovery. You can't flash a rom using the stock recovery.
You absolutely need a custom recovery if you want to flash a custom rom.
Custom recoveries are: TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project), CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) and PhilZ Touch Recovery. Either one should work. But you necessarily need one.

Thanks I have installed TWRP, then it asked me to install Busybox which I did. Tried to Install from Zip and it went back to the original recovery and now when I am trying to restart the phone I just get messages telling me things have stopped working (Google play, settings etc etc) and a black screen!
Currently factory resetting and will try again

Follow the link I gave you. They have several instrunctions on how to install TWRP. You can install TWRP with Odin too.
Here, There are 3 ways to install. Use Odin. It doesn't require root and should be the easier one. Just UNTICK auto-reboot in Odin before flashing. Once it's done, turn the phone off and use the key combo to get into TWRP recovery.

I guess that's the CM12 logo. First boot after flashing always takes some time because the rom is configuring stuff.
If you still don't get into android, turn off the device and turn it on again. If you've done everything correctly there is no reason why it shouldn't boot.

No problem. You could try a different build. Or you could try a CM12 based rom. SaberMod worked fine for me. And it's the closest to the actual CM12 you can get.

Cheers, I have CM12 up and running now. Downloaded the files straight to the SD card and they worked. Seems OK but might try others, how do I go about trying SaberMod, do I need to flash that? Sorry to keep asking what are no doubt pretty obvious questions but I'm pretty new to this!

SaberMod is a rom. SaberMod CM12.1.
They are very similar. The difference is how they tackle optimizations.
Yes, you will have to flash it. But you can also stick with normal CM12 if you don't have any issues.
The google search box from the home screen or the recents?
You can change the launcher to get rid of it from the home screen.
To remove it from the recents there is an option somewhere in the settings.

yeah it appears to be custom recovery flashable, does not seem to overwrite recovery

Next obvious question, is this multirom compatible? As secondary ROM?

They name it "Cyanogen OS 13.0.1" which mean that the latest Android security update was included.
For the issues, such as the Bluetooth disconnecting issue, can any one report if the issue is solved or not?

How do we get root back on this, I tried installing supersu from flashing the rom and from a supersu.zip and bricks the phone.

If you downloaded COS13 (full ZIP) and flashed it through custom recovery, it should work fine. Installing SU through TWRP 3.0 also worked without bricking my OPO. Are you sure you had not flashed anything else?

Upgraded 2017U from Rooted 7.0 to 7.1.1 in a few steps and didn't lose any data?

Not sure how this happened or if it'll work for anybody else???
I did do a WeShare backup of apps and data prior to starting, just in case TiBu didn't work after the update.
I was planning on just starting over with stock Android 7.0 on my A7 (2017U)..... So I booted into TWRP, formated my data, then followed the steps in this thread, skipping the B29 rollback steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68873482&postcount=2
1) As I mentioned above, I booted into TWRP and did a format
1.5) Wiped everything except Micro SD and USB OTG (this step alone should have nuked all my data?)
2) went to Mount and ticked "read only"
3) Flashed A2017UV1.1.0B15_bootstack_by_DrakenFX.zip
4) Flashed A2017UV1.1.0B15_systemstock_by_DrakenFX.zip
5) Wiped Cashe/Dalvik
6) Rebooted (unplugged my usb cable first, not sure if I needed to or not but it hung the first time when it was plugged in)
I seen a screen that said "Decrypting Data", which scared me....But took about 2 minutes, then booted up and EVERYTHING was stock and right where I left it! All my apps and data was still there, along with the stock apps I had previously removed via TiBu.
I checked for and found the 7.1.1 update - It updated perfectly fine!
I booted into the bootloader, flashed TWRP 3.1 (using my PC fastboot command)
Rebooted into TWRP and flashed su2.79 (and my font) -wiped cashe/Dalvik (again).
Before rebooting, I also did the "reboot disemmcwp" using the TWRP terminal - Not sure if I needed to, but I did?
Rebooted, and I now have rooted, stock 7.1.1 and didn't have to spend 2 hours setting everything back up again!
Not sure you will have the same results as I did... I was frankly really surprised I didn't have to start over (like I planned on doing).
Good luck!

Well, I know what I'm doing after putting the toddler to bed tonight! Thanks for this!
edit: One question, when you format, it was just cache, dalvik and data you choose yea?

Actually, after the format I wiped everything except Micro SD and USB OTG....This step alone should have nuked all my data? So I really don't know how my current apps and data survived a format and a complete wipe? I did do a WeShare backup right before all of this, just in case I didn't get root back and wanted to restore my apps using that app.... I doubt that had anything to do with it.

I was fairly certain I did, but had a couple tell me that I probably didn't "check" that box in TWRP?? I'd back up your internal storage, just in case?!?!
Someone also said it wasn't necessary to wipe your internal storage, since the base is so close? I guess you could try it without wiping your internal storage? If it's all jacked up, go back and wipe it.

EDIT: fixed, don't use SR3, use SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip

Still have problem with Super SU binary not installed.
Can you post exact zip that you installed? Can't get root root to work.

It was pre-installed on my phone as a stock app - Bottom left corner in the pic attached here, if a pic of the icon helps (I know I sometimes over look apps).
If you don't see it, maybe search for it?? Your launcher may be hiding it?

I thought A2017UV1.1.0B1 is "7.0" not "7.1.1"???

If it's, but I was rooted and running several custom mods... So I had to revert back to stock 7.0 and then check for the upgrade (as mentioned in my OP).

I had that on my phone before upgrading to 7.0 lol im just sticking to titanium backup, thanks man

tele_jas said:
I was fairly certain I did, but had a couple tell me that I probably didn't "check" that box in TWRP?? I'd back up your internal storage, just in case?!?!
Someone also said it wasn't necessary to wipe your internal storage, since the base is so close? I guess you could try it without wiping your internal storage? If it's all jacked up, go back and wipe it.

Follow your guide without wiping Internal storage, flash B15 stock system, booted and update OTA, fastbooted twrp, rebooted trwp then flash SuperSU, then restored my B15 data backup.
Everything is fine so far.

Probably soft bricked my OP5, is this fixable?

Dear XDA,
I screwed up... I think my device is now soft bricked.... :crying:
It all started good on a sunny saturday. I thought this was a good day to try another custom rom. Namely Codename Phoenix.
My device was already rooted so i started with upgrading my TWRP to the latest Blu_Spark TWRP 3.2.1. After flashing the recovery i continued with the ROM. It all went downhill from there....
The install finished and i booted my device. Knowing this could take a while i got into the shower thinking it would finish when i got back. But when i got back it was still booting. Knowing the first boot can take a while so I let it be. After an hour or so it was still stuck on the google logo and the weather and my mood changed for the worse.
I figured something in the process went wrong and tried to boot into recovery. That worked so I thought 'Cool, let's fix it there'. But the recovery was encrypted so i couldn't get to my data. Normally you put in your pincode and it decrypts your phone. This was not the case.... I couldn't put in my pincode so decrypting was out of the question.
Luckily ADB was still working so I downloaded the original Oxygen OS rom and tried to side-load it... This got stuck on 47% for no reason at all. Phone had 100% battery and didn't time-out..
I was really confused, but I let the device do it's thing and maybe things would work out... I was wrong. Everything was worse. Because i tried installing the original firmware it removed the custom recovery....
So now i have a device with no OS and I can't get into recovery. Luckily there is a unbrick tool for OnePlus 5. Following those steps i got stuck on the part that it does not show in my device-manager.
Currently i'm really grumpy and have no idea how to fix this.
I humbly ask for advice. Is this solvable or do i have a wasted OnePlus 5?
Thanks in advance,
Lennard

can you reboot to bootloader?
if yes, you can flash original or custom recovery...

Don't worry! Your device is safe. At most, you'll be required to wipe your data.
Try using the official twrp recovery here:
https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus5.html
If this doesn't work, let me know.

Thanks for these words! That's a big relieve
With your link I managed to install TWRP through fastboot. So now i have a custom recovery. The current problem is that my data is encrypted and I cannot decrypt it. There is no option to fill in a password since there is no OS that requires a password. So it's sort of a neverending cycle . Although fastboot, recovery and sideload should work now.
The thing is, previously I tried installing the original firmware and that failed at 47%. So i'm not sure what to do now.
I tried installing 'codeworkx universal twrp 3.2.1-0 recovery' since he seems to have fixed the encrypt issue. But when I tried sideloading the file it says "Zip file is corrupt!". So no succes there yet.
To be precise, this is the threat for Codeworkx Universal TWRP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
And i downloaded and tried installing: twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img
I was thinking about downloading the latest Codename Phoenix ROM, but when I try to download the latest release the file is name "Codename-Phoenix-NOS-8.1-oneplus5t-20180303.zip". That implies it's only for the 5t and not for the 5. So that could be my original problem? That i downloaded the wrong ROM?
That aside.
Should I try to get the download link for CNP and download the latest release for the OP5 and install that.
Or
Should i try to install the original firmware. Reset everything and start over from the beginning (unlocking, rooting, etc..)
Thanks again for all the help

Nice to hear that!
To be clear, does the TWRP decrypt you data? When you click install in TWRP, is it a bunch of randomly named files?
I think you should go ahead with installing CNP, you shouldn't have any problems with it now that you've got the correct version.
Good luck!

Yeah it's a bunch of random file names. Like "2TAjnCI8CpHDL38Oh684DuTSgaO".
Alright, i'll let you know if I succeed. Thanks for the help

Wait! Staying encrypted is a bunch of trouble. I recommend u to follow these steps:
Go to recovery
Select wipe
Select advanced wipe
Clear dalvik and cache
Go back
Select wipe
Click "Format Data"
Type in yes
Go back
Select wipe
Swipe to factory reset
Reboot recovery
Transfer the ROM from PC to phone
Install it

Hmm, the installation should be a succes. But when i tried to reboot and start up the OS / System it just reboots into TWRP.... ? It's sort of boot looping into recovery.
I tried installing a couple of times with and without wiping dalvik/cache/system.
Could the install file not be complete?
On a side note, my data is not encrypted

But of course! Already did that. But i'm not sure if it shows or not. Tried clicking multiple times on the thanks button but it doesn't highlight. It should do that right?
