I'm running a Galaxy S5 with CM14.1. All was good for many weeks until today, when suddenly the phone started freezing irrecoverably. It occurs about 1 minute after the phone boots. Before that, between starting up and freezing, the phone is a little laggy but works fine.
I've tried a factory reset and also tried reinstalling CM14 but it still occurs.
Nothing was changed on the phone between when it was working fine and when it started freezing consistently.
Anyone have this experience?
[Update] Downgrading to CM13 (or even restoring a backup of a CM13 install) solves the problem. But no amount of reinstalling CM14, or even reverting to a backup of a CM14 install that was entirely functional (no freezing) solves the problem - all installs of CM14 now freeze.
Similar experience from another user....
Literally could have written your post word for word (S5, 14.1, same symptoms) and created an account to tell you so, but it won't let me. Still a n00b in many respects but I've backed my way out of enough soft bricks to not feel totally out of my depth when I say "This is weird, but probably not unique." So, thanks.
Additional info, in case it helps in any way:
- T-Mobile network
- was working fine until about 8:45pm when it died while I was making a call. Plugged it in, turned it on, freeze.
- Recently installed a new SD card because my old one was unreadable, discovered by "too little storage, delete some apps." 128GB Samsung brand (just because I was bitter about it). Promptly made a full backup Jan 20. Tried to restore it but it was giving me a LOT of **** about making the SD internal, and I got so frustrated that I gave in. Result: "Cannot restore modem -- mounted read only." Restoring everything but the modem now.
Moved to Galaxy s5 Q&A
same same
same problem here, all in a sudden 14.1 started freezing. i can factory reset, wipe, dalvik, cache, etc. even went so far to format system and everything, and reinstalled, it boots, and as soon as i should be select language etc. it freezes. no way to do anything. i will go back to a 13/6.0.1 based rom, and see if this works.
Update: i formated everything, system, cache, data, you name it after going back to a 6.0.1 based rom, in my case Resurrection Remix, it worked like a charm, as expected. it offered me an update to 7.1.1 or so, i downloaded it, factory resettet it, installed it, as soon as it booted, it froze, again. so there is, indeed, something with the 7.1.1 roms, which my phone does not like. i feel at a loss, since i never before experienced such a problem, since i started putting custom roms on my first galaxy S, and my S3.
any pointers would be helpful. not sure if i can provide any logs, since it freezes anyway, as soon as the setup-wizard comes up, before i can enter anything.
at least 6.0.1 works, which means, unless i feel like wasting an afternoon again, or some pointers on what goes wrong will come up, i will stay on it, for a month or so at least.

Was there ever a resolution to this. I am having freezing issues with all versions of Nougat on my Verizon S5.

I only found a solution doing a full install and going back to 6.0.1. The latest (last) CyanogenMod build didn't work for me, and now they're defunct anyhow.

Hi, I bought my GS4 two days ago and immediately rooted it via the motochopper method, and then installed ClockworkMod via the loki method. I then installed the then latest nightly (cm-10.1-20130530-NIGHTLY).
Now I understand that nightlies come with no promises of work, but I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing a rebooting problem on their device. Mine reboots randomly, and often. Multiple times a day. On two occasions it has gotten itself into a reboot loop (starts rebooting, gets to the lock screen, and immediately starts rebooting), in which i needed to pull the battery. Still having the same issue on the May 31st build.
I'm just hoping that someone else has this issue, other then just me. Any ideas to fix it would be amazing!
Use a touchwiz rom, problem solved.
CM is nice for sure but, it seems to always be broken.
Fixed!!
After dealing with the issue for a few more days, it continued to get worse. I could no longer uninstall apps (every time I did it would reboot), and it became more frequent, even with updating to the most recent nightly every day.
I finally got fed up with it today. I did a complete wipe of data, cache, and dalvik cache, and reinstalled the latest nightly (cm-10.1-20130530-NIGHTLY). After installing gapps i turned it on and am no longer experiencing any issues!!! Even after i reinstalled all of my apps and restored the data using titanium. Hopefully it has fixed it completely, only time will tell over the next few days.
hey guys, today i bought a used NOTE 4 for my mother, and when i checked the version it was 6.0.1...so i wiped everything and restarted the phone to get the best performance....but the phone lags and freezes a lot, especially in the camera, and it keep restarting all the time....what should i do? should i try to flash another FW through ODIN?
You mean you used the Factory reset option? That's not a full wipe, just resetting stuffs. And yes, you know the answer, wipe everything from a custom recovery, then flash stock MM ROM (always latest) via Odin. Earlier versions did have a reboot problem though, and lags here and there, but that's expected, but the last release, PE1, has got rid of all those problems, its a very good release already, and I am sure upcoming releases will only make it better. There are no major bugs at all, I don't even find any minor bugs except the need for a separate app to clear default apps selection.
Best of luck.

the phone is stock, it has the stock recovery, and i have the PE1 version, the exact name is "MMB29M.N910FXXU1DPE1"...and still got a lot of lag, freeze and rebooting.....is there another version?
EDIT: ok, so i flashed another MM through odin ( first time it gave me a fail) and then done a factory reset, now it's so much better, maybe not as smooth as my S6 but really fast and smooth enough...thanks for the help
EDIT: today the phone started to shutdown completly....not reboot....and you need to press the power button 10 seconds to reboot it or turn it on...is there any advice?
Guys . Ib tead the whole thread over last few day had wake lovk runnimg last couple weeks. Lastnight used kies for reset and it crashed half way.
I then used odin 307 and went back to stock 501
It booted strarted to restore from google apps ect .
I allowed the 1st 601 update
All apps running aok no crashing freezing no wakelock .. its asking for another 601 update. Im gonna hold back
Hope this helps .. will post agian in gew days with any updates
Good luck !!
Just download and install Wake Lock from Google Play Store. I had the same problem and more. Once I installed Wake Lock (on a fresh install from Android 5 up to all the 6.0..1 builds) phone doesn't shut off or freeze. Most importantly no more Boot Loops..
Hello all,
I recently went through the process of installing CM 14.1 on my Verizon-Unlocked Galaxy S5.
Everything was working fine until about 3 weeks ago when I started messing with the system settings.
My phone started freezing and crashing, so I attempted to reinstall CM 14.1 multiple times.
I have wiped everything on the phone multiple times through TWRP (System, Data, SD Card, Everything...) and I am still having the same issue.
The phone boots fine, and I am able to get through the first two menus in the initial setup, but then the screen freezes and the phone restarts.
I have tried replacing the battery, thinking that would fix the problem, but it didn't...
Should I revert back to the stock ROM and start from there, rooting and such, until I make my way back to CM?
Thanks everyone, Luke
If youre still having problems, try reflashing your rom and then flash an older version of opengapps, I think I used the one from 01/16/17. The new opengapps were giving me the same exact problem.
Dang, I wish I would have seen this sooner... I went ahead and flashed back to the stock Verizon ROM with root. Thanks though! Maybe this can help someone else.
Hi guys. Over the weekend, I was running Android O beta, just to give it a spin and see how it was. Everything was working ok, but then I missed the good features of AOSP, so I decided to come back to it. So on Sunday night, I flashed back the previous rom, including the vendor, bootloader and radio as requested on the OP. But the problem was that the screen rotation wasn't working, no matter what I tried. I even tried other roms, to see if the problem was from the rom, but no, the problem persisted. I flashed stock again, and the problem was also there. I gave Google a call and they sent me some steps to go through and none of them solved my problem as well. So, I decided to flash back the O Beta, and voila, the problem was gone. My question, have I done anything wrong, any step that I may have missed? Or is it the drivers? Any help/suggestion is highly appreciatted
Did you factory reset or wiped data? It's sometimes necessary when downgrading.
I did yes. It was the first thing I did as soon as I got TWRP installed on it,because it was asking for the encryption key, to which it never what it was(tried my password and my lock screen code,but none of them worked,so just ended up wiping the whole data)
Thanks to XDA, I've been running LineageOS 14.1 on my LEX727 for months now, updating to most nightly releases with no issues. However, when the phone rebooted after updating to the 10/20/17 nightly, it got stuck on the boot animation screen (green circle moving right to left on the arc) and would go no further. I rebooted into TWRP and flashed back to 10/13 which has been working fine. Same results after attempted updates to the 10/27 and 11/3 releases. I even tried a manual update from TWRP using USB OTG with the same result.
Any ideas of what's gone wrong here? Anything I can try? All I know to do at this point is wipe and install clean but I'd rather not if possible. Thanks!

I'd say do a clean install. If i have any issues with a rom booting i'll factory reset and install again. If i still have issues i'll just use another rom.

I am in the same situation. Have tried all combinations of wiping and resetting with all 3 of the latest nightlies and still cannot boot. I can successfully boot into a stock rom but, I'd rather not. I guess I will go back to the 10/13 nightly since it worked (mostly) before this debacle. Hopefully next week's update will solve this problem.
Thanks for your reply, islandlife98. I'm not super-confident at this ROM thing yet so backing up, wiping and reinstalling is something I'd undertake reluctantly. I was hoping this was a common situation with a simple fix that I just had been unable to find. Always prefer to actually solve a problem if possible rather than just wipe it out. (Although when it comes to tech, wiping it out is often the best or only solution. Almost always the quickest.)
JBealZy, thank you for letting me know you're in the same boat! After seeing no mention of this issue here, I assumed it was some weird glitch with my phone rather than a problem with the updates. If you've done a full wipe and re-install but still haven't been able to boot into any of the last three releases then I'm glad I hesitated. (That was a concern I'd had: that it might not work even after a clean install.) Think I'll stick with 10/13 for now and keep trying the new releases; easy enough to roll back if it fails now that I've figured it out.
Lmao same problem here with the 2017-11-11 and 2017-11-03 udpate. Not tested yet with 2017-10-27 or 2017-10-20 but that's my last choice because after 2017-10-13 update all links are removed. I do a clean install every time .. What other rom is better ?
Problem resolved .. i have wiped internal storage too and able to install the last version. I think i'm gonna use another ROM because i don't really want to reinstall all of my applications everytime i do an update. :/

Another victim! So weird, I wonder what's going on there. None of the updates since my original post have worked so I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to do a clean install. Just need to find a time do it. Good to hear it worked for you.
LineageOS is the only ROM I've tried but since I have to wipe my phone anyway I may try some others. Paranoid Android looks interesting and Tsongming says it's working well.

Yea i'm downloading Paranoïd right now for testing it .. Don't want a broken operating system on my phone haha
If anyone's still interested, I first tried flashing Lineage after wiping all but internal storage and still couldn't get past the boot animation. Then did a full factory-reset wipe including the internal storage, re-flashed, and it finally booted. The first OTA update since then came through today and went off without a hitch so all seems well for now.
I did take a look at Paranoid before going back to Lineage. One big reason I use a custom ROM is to get security updates quickly and LOS reports the security patch level in the settings; I couldn't find this info in PA. Also, I use a pattern to unlock my phone and there didn't appear to be a way use a larger grid than the default 3x3. On the plus side (sort of), PA includes the LeEco remote control app, which seems to be the only way to use the IR hardware on this phone, but it asks for more permissions than I want to give (which, of course, is not PA's fault). So admittedly I didn't really give it a full and fair trial but those few little issues sent me back to the (usually) reliable familiarity of LOS.
I received a new LEX722 yesterday. The TWRP for zl1 is working fine, but I cannot get lineagos working.
I deleted:
- dalvik,
- system,
- cache
- data
- and also the internal storage
after rebooting into twrp I enabled usb debugguung and pushed the lineageos and gapps images via adb push to the phone.
I installed lineageos and gapps nano, but after booting to system, I get stuck in a black screen looping to a dark grey luminated display (no graphics at all).

Sorry, can't help you with that since I have a LEX727 which is apparently quite different from the LEX722. Official LineageOS is only supported on the LEX720 and LEX727: [ https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/zl1 ]. The LEX722 (Elite) has it's own section here on the LeEco Pro 3 forum so check that out and see what they've come up with.
