Hello everyone,
I've tried several different roms on my X5, and some weeks ago I had a strange issue.
I had just installed MIUI 2 or 3 days before, and decided to change back to CM7.
Since I've done that my phone randomly freezes and restarts, sometimes even in the recovery. I've tried all the custom roms and they ALL have this issue now. System boots and 2 to 5 min later it just freezes and reboots.
Also I've noted that when it's booting it takes significantly more time than any other x5 (i've turned 2 iDeos X5 on at the same time and this one takes 2 more minutes to boot).
Now for the really weird part...
If I restock it with the official 2.2 rom I have absolutely no issues at all! Phone runs perfect, never freezes and never breaks.
I've tried everything, multiple kernels, multiple roms, played around with processor speed, reformatted internal SD, repartioned, fixed the permissions.... I'm at a loss, I have no idea what else to try, and since my phone is perfect on stock rom I cant really send it back to "fix" because apparently nothing is broken...
Anyways, help would very much be appreciated
Thanks
Did you totally reset the phone?
So when you open recovery:
* wipe data/factory reset
* wipe cache partition
* Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Yep, did that everytime.
Also, the phone sometimes freezes on installing in recovery rom. mid-installation it just reboots...
which recovery version are you using?
I've tried 4.0.1.5 by Geno and 5.0.2.6.
also I've tried the others, but recovery freezes mid-installation
This doesn't seem to have an easy solution.
Try to use the powerful logcat utility to investigate what causes the problem. You can run it from a command prompt window(pc) with command:
adb logcat
or
adb logcat > log.txt
if you want to create a log file to C drive instead of display the output to command prompt window. Post the logfile here.
Maybe then someone can find the issue and hopefully a solution to your problem
thx for the idea, i'll try it when I get home and post the log when I have it
Hello again, haven't had the change to do the log, but I just found out something really strange.
I have here 2 iDeos x5, one works one freezes. What I just found out is that the one that works shows 353mb of RAM, i've researched online and says that this is normal because the rest of the memory is allocated for the GPU.
What is strange is that the one that freezes shows 512mb of Ram, making me believe that it has no video memory hence freezing the phone when I try to do something graphics wise...
Anyone know if this ever happened? or ideas on how to fix it?
Thank you so much
Hi,
I have problems with self reboots of my X8 since I got it.
I had problems with stock ROM, upgraded stock ROM and all custom ROMs and kernels.
I couldn't find any pattern why and when is this happening.
sometimes it doesn't happen for weeks (at least I don't notice), and then it starts happening every few minutes, and then it slows down again.
only pattern I noticed is that since I flashed Alfs kernel, phone reboots when I try to make skype call. but this is probably complitely different problem.
full wipe or ROM reinstall helps to slow it down if it is happening to often.
I would really like to find out what is causing this.
today I noticed than phone rebooted while standing still on the desk. after it booted I entered terminal emulator and wrote this:
su
logcat -d > mnt/sdcard/logcat1711.txt
dmesg > mnt/sdcard/dmesg1711.txt
I hope this is the right way to do this cause I don't understand much this logcat and dmesg or linux in general.
logcat and dmesg are always written in some kernel buffers? when I write this I only print it to txt document? How long to history is always written it those buffers?
OK. the real question is can somebody take a look in these documents and see if some conclusion what causes self reboots can be made from them.
Thank you!

hi , installed this rom but i still haven't network connection
Double boot when starting phone
Hello all together.
Yesterday I flashed the latest rom on my skomer.
So far everything runs smooth but I recognized one weird thing.
During boot (doesn't matter if a warm or cold start), the phone boots twice.
Means I see the Pin entry screen and after approx. 15s I see the boot animation again.
It does not matter if I enter the pin or not, it boots a second time at all.
After the second boot everything is OK.
This was a clean flash from theboegls prerooted image with normal pa gapps flashed.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue!
Thanks a lot,
Kubunter
Just installed the new nightly(4.4.4.101014) Everything is running smooth. Just wondering if there is a radio for android 4.4.4 and how do i get it if there is?

I read the forum and tried this code and it worked for me.
run this code in your terminal if you cant find terminal get if from playstore using wifi.
adb shell
su
find /efs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
find /modemfs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
chmod -R 777 /efs/
chmod -R 777 /modemfs/
reboot
After reboot your mobile data should be working
Camera not working
Thank you for your great work, hopefully devs are reading this subthread, too.
It would be nice, if following message would be referred on the first message, since many people have issues with network. I managed only to find all the information by very inconvenient googling:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55354795&postcount=414
This post is the Theboegl's relevant one:

Did you use the right clockworkmod mentioned on the main post? Also your firmware might be too new, therefore flashing this one might help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40232503&postcount=43]
If I got it right it must be
- install odin and get cwm on pc
- get supersu and cm on your sd card
- reboot in download mode
- flash cwm on phone
- reboot in Recovery
- well i think you can backup already
- root with supersu
- reboot in Recovery
- wipe data/factory
- install
- reboot
I use 1010114
wifi and camera work here, but sim card seems not to be accepted
good use of hardware buttons after reflashing (this had issues before)
[did not install GApps, but that should not be a problem..?]
tried 10.2 from flxo and had the same problem with SIM
Double Boot
Hello all together,
I have a logcat of the problem, saved at pastebin.
As I´m a new user, I´m not allowed to post a outside link.
Is it possible that I will send someone who is able to post a link a PM?
The second boot happens around 22:44:54 o´clock
Something with a android process seems to be wrong.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks a lot,
Kubunter
Android Lollipop?
Pushed fix for streaming YouTube should now work next nightly. Downloading source now to build recovery image. Thanks for waiting. I will try to solve the problems we have but I can't guarantee anything due to lack of device. I'm going to discontinue my work for ste devices soon. As long as it builds I will try my best to keep supporting them but fixing problems etc I can no longer continue.

@Unjustified Dev, will you made Android 5.0 for xcover 2? (Because you discontinue development)

There are still STE developers and I'm sure this one will get lollipop working if he can't I doubt we will see it , but lollipop might be a large merge and roms might have to rebase or start from scratch porting hardware workarounds and eventually bring back features.
intermittent network signal
Guys please help. I tried this ROM and it looks great but I'm loosing network signal almost every time I'm starting up navigation (Sygic) and I use it a lot. I don't loose it immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after 20 min. but the signal triangle finally goes black and doesn't come back after switching off navigation. This makes it unusable to me. I've seen people reporting problems with network signal so I guess it's not the app. issue. Sometimes it looks like I just loose data transfer (it shows no internet) but the signal bar shows that I have network. Some other time I was not moving at all but the signal bar was going up and down from max. to min. within 3 sek. After few minutes it stabilized. Something seems to be wrong with the antenna or modem, whatever is responsible for network signal.
And another thing, that looks to be related, I don't have any arrows and network type sign (2G/3G) showing if I do or don't have internet connection.
There were some posts talking about a fix for network problem by typing some commands somewhere but could someone explain it step by step how to apply it, if it is a working fix.
Thanks!
After a reboot the home button doesn't work until I enter my pin code, which comes like half an hour after boot! How do I fix it and does anyone else have this problem!?
I was about to throw this piece of **** phone away but i gave it a last chance with Vanir. It took me nearly 2 hours to flash the Rom , but i got it working.
First of I want to thank the dev for the work, I realy apreciate it. You managed to make this phone usable again, I hate Samsung so much for this crap Software they used for the Xcover2.
After using Vanir for one week (using not testing), here is what is not working for me:
-maximum volume for every call
-stock photo app crashes
-Location is very inaccurate, my guess is the cell tower fix is working and the GPS is not
-sometimes i cant shut off the phone, it freezes and i have to pull the battery
-phone is sometimes not going to sleep mode, i have to restart it
Everything else is working perfectly, this is thousand times better then the Samsung bull****. Oh, my carrier is Telekom(Germany).
No radio/SIM with GT-7710 XCover 2 on CM11
The forum forces me to open a new thread, apologies.
I gave the Vanir Skomer 4.4.4.101714 nightly a try but my broadband (S7710XXAND2)/IMEI is gone after reboot. Big difference to most reports I've read is that once I return to stock ROM all is fine again. In other words: the SIM was not damaged. Also the chmod/chown and move-files-from-stock trick doesn't improve anything. No idea what else I should try. I'm currently back on stock Android.
This is what I've done:
- Use Odin 3.09 to apply 20140112_cwm-6.0.4.6_skomer_fixed.tar.md5
- Boot into CWM
- Update to CWM 6.0.4.7 via cwm_skomer_test2.zip
- Wipe/Factory + Dalvik reset
- Install vanir_skomer_4.4.4.101714.zip (also tried 20131231_cm_11.0_skomer-ota-eng.flx.zip)
- Install pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20141019-signed.zip
- Wipe/Factory + Dalvik reset
+ Copied {efs,modemfs} from stock to vanir (removed vanir's folder contents before)
+ Fixed file perms to 666, folders to 777, owner to radio:system
I couldn't find TWRP for Skomer or a more recent clockwork recovery. Just mentioning this because I've read a post that mentioned recovery is responsible for setting radio related stuff.
Ideas?
Network connection doest work for me to. I like this rom too and like to be it get worked! (Y)
Never mind, fixed my radio issue. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56293409&postcount=37
vanir_skomer_4.4.4.101714
I got that one and currently it's syncing but I have no mobile networks. I'm from Finland and I'd like to know what data I should post to help fix it. (I could recompile and all if I get instructions)

Just wanted to confirm with my Vanir nightly of 101714, my camera app crashes too. No problems with radio or networking though.
Cant call, says my phone is currently airplane mode
hello, just installed the latest (vanir_skomer_4.4.4.102814) and now my phone can't find network and says that airplane mode is on when i try to call. Airplane mode button says it's off and kills the bt and wifi if i turn it on, aka goes to real airplane mode.
Fix for this would be more than welcome.

What's the latest stock update because we are having incompatible installation due to my kernel being based on older release and blobs

What do you mean by stock update?
Edit:
Seems like it's working again, it woke up after an hour. Sorry for the trouble.
I have come across a very annoying bug with cm12.1 version for 550m...everytime I reboot the phone gets stuck in bootloop almost all the time...half of the time it keeps optimizing apps and then gets stuck at starting apps and other half it just gets stuck in bootloop...it has made installing xposed modules so difficult since it takes me 4-5 rebbots to get even strted with my phone after downloading a module...can anybody help please...
I have no problem with rebooting on my 550. It sometimes hangs on starting apps on first boot after flashing, but turning off and back on solves this (except with broken 0819 build). Xposed may be the cause of your problem - the devs have said countless times that it is not supported and not recommended. If you want to use xposed, you are better off staying on stock or using super zen.
Xposed causes this on CM. It's not supported.

Maybe the MediaScanner is going crazy.
I was having the exact same issue as you.
Try to reboot your phone until cyanogenmod boots successfully and run this command on terminal app or adb.
It will disable media scanning on boot.
su
pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
if you want to run cm with xposed.... then run the initial (first) build of cm12.1... Xposed is well supported
Hi
I have a problem with my op2. At some point it got very slow in reaction. That happens everywhere in the system when phone is running, in recovery mode and during booting.
When that happened I was using cyanogen with some kernel on TWRPl. However I never changed any CPU or GPU settings like frequencies or so. I installed kernel just see what settings does it have..
After that I tried few different configurations.. Oxygen on stock recovery, cm on stock, or each of them on TWRP. Always same issue..
At the moment I installed the freshest oxygen from oneplus website on TWRP. also I have kernel just tk see if temperatures and CPU and GPU speeds are fine. I can see any issue there.
I would like to ask if anyone had this issue and maybe someone will know how to fix it.
I am considering buying new logic (main/mother) board but first I want to know of there is any wat to fix it through ADB or any other" software way".
I'm attaching the movie with how my phone works
