OP2 rebooting randomly

Hello there!
My boyfriend is experiencing random reboots on his OnePlus 2. (He doesn't have an account here, so that's why I'm writing instead.)
He is running the latest LineageOS, though has had the reboots since the build from Jan 31st. He has root active and is also running the latest Boeffla Kernel.
Weirdly enough we can't pinpoint what is causing the reboots and they seem to happen more frequently in the mornings (when he's at work) than in the afternoons/evenings (when he's home). This morning alone he had four reboots shortly one after another.
It also seems to happen more frequently when the WiFi is turned on but not connected. When the WiFi is turned off completely it also happens, but not so often. When WiFi is connected, the reboots seem to stop?
He suspects it has something to do with LineageOS, as he was on OxygenOS previously (before the official LOS builds got released) and didn't have any issues. I found in the forums here it could have something to do with the firmware version 3.5.6 and reverting back to 3.1 or something would stop the random rebooting? (Unfortunately I have found nothing on how to determine your firmware version, but his Baseband version is MPSS.BO.2.6.2.c1-00072-M8994FAAAANAZM-1.82470.1, if that helps?)
So I just wanted to ask if anybody is experiencing the same and if you can confirm the firmware change helps or if you found any other solutions for this?
Thanks a bunch!

Confirmed for me! Changing back to 3.1.1 firmware stopped the reboots

Can you just flash the 3.1.1 firmware or do you need to take any precautions? Anything you need to know before flashing?

Yeah just go to twrp and flash the 3.1.1 firmware.

It seems to have done the trick. Thank you very much!

Glad if I helped. It was bugging me for awhile as well, although I coped with it by turning off WiFi when I was away from home. Never rebooted for me if I turned it off, but this is much better. I have no real need for volte anyways, so no loss here.

H918 WETA ROM 4.9.4 + Magisk 12.0 bootlooping

Hello there, I've been using the V20(H918) for a little while now and was running WETA Rom 4.8.5 with Magisk 11.0. When Magisk 12.0 released after rebooting and being on for a minute or 2 my phone would suddenly go back to the T-mo splash screen as if it were soft rebooting and then would repeat this process. I thought it might have been a download or flash issue so I tried wiping and doing a fresh install but if I ever restarted the device the same issue would appear. I've tried selecting or deselecting a majority of the options in the aroma installer for WETA but nothing seems to work. The rom seems to work fine with SuperSU installed so I'm thinking it might be something about the way my phone is set up but I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly what it is and I really would like to use Magisk for the hide feature. Based on the thread it doesn't seem like there should be any issues and I'm unable to ask my question directly in the thread. I'm not very experienced with these kinds of things so I'm sorry if I'm not being specific enough or if the solution is obvious. Thanks for anyone's help and time with this issue!

Im currently running weta rom with magisk 12.0 on my h918. However there are 2 possible differences between yours and mine. 1) you are not in the latest version of weta rom 4.9.4. 2) you are probably flashing the stock kernel that comes in the weta aroma installer. Try with konvergent or another kernel other than the one from weta rom. (as soon as i flashed the weta kernel my phone was experiencing the dame thing yours did , then after i flashed konvergent back it came back to normal)

Did what you said and everything seems to be running smoothly, thanks very much for your help! Hoping a more updated kernel that doesn't force SuperSU and works with magisk comes out soon!

System Crashing

Over the last few days I've been having seemingly random instances where the system slows right down, becomes almost completely unresponsive, the home screen goes blank and sometimes only half the screen displays. I then have to long press to power off, but instead of shutting down the phone reboots, then everything is fine again. Usually this has been happening once every few hours, and when left overnight the display doesn't even turn on prior to rebooting (I can use fingerprint sensor and feel it vibrate to unlock though). A few times I have seen the error message saying 'System UI has stopped' but most times I reboot before seeing that.
I was running stock 8.0 unlocked and rooted with TWRP 3.1.1.0 and Magisk 14, and also using the pixel launcher installed as a system app, with no issues previously. I can't remember exactly now, but I am pretty sure I had this occur while on 8.0 prior to updating to 8.1 (possibly following an update to Magisk 15), but mostly it has been happening post-update to 8.1. I followed the stickied guide using step 9 first, and after that was getting very frequent instances. Then realized I was using an old 8.0 pixel launcher app so thought that might be the problem, so re-flashed everything, updated to TWRP 3.2.1.0, re-rooted and installed pixel launcher via the linked post below. Was then stable for almost 24hrs before having the issue re-occur, but with longer gaps between successive instances. Yesterday I re-flashed using the flash-all script (8.1) to try to clean out any gremlins - all went smooth, then re-flashed latest TWRP/Magisk and installed pixel launcher. Seemed fine for an hour or so...

Not sure what is going on, I don't think its the zip file, since I checked the hash prior to doing the very first update. Could be the launcher I guess, but wasn't having any issue before so don't see why that would be a problem. Only root apps I'm using are root explorer, naptime and f.lux. Naptime I haven't installed yet on this go around, and f.lux I uninstalled this morning to see if it makes the problem go away. I tried searching around and saw similar issues reported for people using substratum/themes, but I have never used anything like that.
I have a log but can't link it yet...?

Try using supersu again or maybe downgrade magisk. Mine for some reason after going back to supersu randoom reboot stopped. This even after ive downgraded to 8.0 thinking 8.1 was the reason though it was running fine before.

Thanks will give it a shot and report back. Like I said I think the instability coincided with an upgrade from Magisk 14.0 to 15.0 which happened right before I went to 8.1, so going back to 14.0 might be the first step for me.
Were yours just random reboot or also the system glitching/freezing?

Well... flashed the Magisk uninstaller from 15.1 and re-flashed 14.0 and no system crashes yet.
However now I can't enable assistant vice activation. Possibly a separate issue I suppose, but it was working before.
Edit: Uninstalled Google app updates and reapplied from play store and now working.

So just as a follow up I've been running fine on Magisk 14 without issue for some time now. Have not tried the recent 15.2 release.
However f.lux is not behaving normally and for some reason is acting almost like a yellow filter. I found the thread below which seems to indicate some issue between f.lux / Android 8.1 / Magisk.
https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/4667/f-lux-not-compatible-with-android-oreo-8-1/7

I have been having this exact problem on my Nexus 6P. Glad to know that I'm not going crazy. The switchover point for me was exactly from Magisk 14.5 to 14.6. 14.5 works fine for me with no issues. 14.6 and onwards (including 15.2) has exhibited this behavior very regularly.
One thing that I just tried that might have "fixed" it is I recently was in 15.2 beta (installed via TWRP) and it was having the problem. I was on the beta in order to capture some of its verbose logs. At one point, I wanted to just try a different installation method so I made sure to check the two options in the MagiskManager ("forced encryption" and "dm-verity") so that they are on and then reinstalled Magisk 15.2 directly from MM. After doing that, I haven't seen the issue crop up, so maybe installing from MM to make sure that it uses those options on install is the way to address this? I'll update if I see any more issues.

Thanks for the replies here and in the Magisk beta thread.
After installing with your described method/settings I reinstalled f.lux, and had a couple of glitch/reboots. I then uninstalled f.lux and I'm now over 24hrs without going into the glitched state. So it seems maybe this a compound issue. Can you confirm whether you had this or another similar app installed? I've seen other reports of this kind of behavior when using substratum.

Hey just a heads up - I am now on opm3 (Jan) and 15.2 beta with the just preserve encryption checked and no glitches yet after ~15hrs. Will be installing f.lux soon to see if it triggers.

Installed f.lux and maybe an hour later started glitching. Uninstalled and had to reboot to clear things up, and now haven't had a glitch since. So definitely the source of the issue, but it's a compound thing since it only started happening since Magisk 14.6 onward. However, there are other reports saying f.lux hasn't been behaving properly on both 8.0 and 8.1, so likely not the fault of Magisk at all.

Hey, I was linked to this thread from Magisk thread, I had the same issue on my Nexus 5X with Magisk 14.6+, so I uninstalled f.lux and issue is gone as you said. Now I'm testing CF.lumen on Magisk 15.3 and it is w/o any issue so far.

(Magisk) Phone randomly stuck on boot issue

Hello guys! I know it's a common issue, but when I reboot my phone there's roughly a 50% chance it gets stuck on the boot screen and I have to reboot. It's surely caused by Magisk, but has someone found a fix already?
The bricks got more frequent and really annoying when I began to install some modules (Xposed, Viper ecc.). Sometimes it takes even 2-3 reboots to start my phone properly, and sometimes it boots without recognizing my sim card.
Is there a fix for this, or do I have to live with it?

Happened to me too. Got rid of magisk for now so running stock un rooted until this gets sorted. Haven't ran into the issue since un rooting.

Xposed is not yet stable for Oreo. So just get rid of that first. Moreover, it depends on what Magisk version did you flash. V16.0 is the latest stable version and you are recommended to flash it only. I have been using magisk for a long time on both stock and custom rom and never had an issue.

I flashed 16.0 too, but I have to say the issue became real even before I installed Xposed. Guess it's something Magisk-related

Try older Magisk, for example 15.3.

Same to me. Just reboot and it´s fine.

Same. I don't have Xposed or other mods, so I think it's a Magisk's issue.

Made over 20 reboots in order to find the"right" combination of substratum themes the last two days.only 2-3 times i had stucked in reboot. I have magisk, xposed ,gravitybox .

Huh, I get this sometimes too. So it's Magisk v16 you say?

Good idea, will give that a go. I don't use any modules anyway, only use it for Safetynet-friendly root.

Nexus 6P Latest 'O' update Killed messaging & Texting - help

Hey' y'all Color be crazy but....
About 3 days ago I checked for updates OTA, and got a new sequrity patch.
but the last 3 days since...
Phone calls Go right to my voicemail box they dont even ring on my phone....
And my [defualt]texting app constantly shows a little cloud crossed out saying no service
Anywheres I had 4gLTE Is now 3g ONLY and i can only do things on the internet thats it, but its slow as a dog.
Airplane mode on-off doesn't work I dialed that *#*# .. (insertnumbers) #*#* for testing and
switching how my phone recieves signal didn't work,
Factory reset from inside my settings + Hard reset from recovery made 0 difference.
Ill recieve all my texts but cant reply to them by rebooting my phone they all come in at once when my phone turns on but them my message app stops working again
-----------
Called my provider (TOTAL WIRELESS,) They said everything fine on thier end nothing they can do. So I called Huawai, and Verizon... got no where.
So im thinking... Its the update patch, or i need a new sim card.. So where / how Do I get the Nexus 6p's STOCK ROM So I can reinstall and how do i do that?
Should i try that? wait for another patch? or request a new sim.... Because as of right now my phones a brick and i use it for work.

Your not alone my friend I had the same issue with Aprils update. Just randomly during the day I would stop receiving texts and phone calls. I just assumed I was in some kind of bad zone even though had never happened before. Wasn't until my favorite stock build SuperXe got updated to Mays that I switched and haven't had the problem since. Right now I'm on Lineage 15's June build and wow it has come a long way pretty solid no issues. You will have to do some research on unlocking your bootloader and flashing stock images. You can find them if you search "Google API Nexus 6p." Check out Hiesenbergs tutorials on XDA on returning to stock on the flashing procedure. Its the same for flashing stock images of any month you choose. I got simple fastboot 1.4.3 from XDA as well instead of installing Google's fastboot .

Ok first you want to boot up and finish initial setup before rooting. Second you want to root with Magisk 16.0 zip. You don't have to root unless your planning on modifying system files or using a special app. You can fix or unroot by reflashing just the boot.img from the firmwarwe or Rom you are currently running .

I'm sure there's a way to root with app but just as easy to flash TWRP and install Magisk. Which has nice easy feature of hiding root and passing safety net. That way you get a certified playstore and still use android pay to name a few. If your interested let me know I can explain the process after flashing Magisk.
