[Q] Rebooting Defy (in a whole new level)

Hi, I've searched my problem but came up only with "regular" reboot answers. Let me explain:
I was using the newest CM10 builds by Quarx as they were coming, and once in a while my phone rebooted/freezed. I was using nightlies so I was ok with that kinda of thing. But after flashing the last nightly (07/03), my phone was rebooting whenever I pushed him harder than opening the app drawer.
After wiping data, cache and everything else without any results, I've decided to flash an official SBF - Then the phone rebooted in the middle of the RSD flash process. I've started it again and it went ok... but now my phone is rebooting at the Moto logo, when I try to wipe the cache or factory reset through bootloader. I can't do anything with him.
Can someone give me any expectation? Something new to try? Or, hell, even a confirmation that my Defy is dead and there's nothing I can do?

SBF
Hi,
draw the battery,
wait a time,
put the battery inside,
start the steps to flash sbf,
after the flashing is finish make a factory reset in stock recovery,
install 2ndint ( i wrote something on the beginning like: After install 2ndinit restart, deactivat usb debug,and restart again),
Then install one of the beautiful CMs here.

You just have to flash another rom using RSD lite, It will work.
Or just flash the official ROM which u had before installing the CM 10

Thanks for the attention, but I have tried flashing both his original SBF (Retail 2.3.7 from Brazil) and the Chinese one, both causing reboots when I try to wipe data/cache in recovery. If I let it turn on normally it reboots in the first steps (wifi and account configuration), so I can't even install 2ndinit or wipe data through the system. Any other ideas?

Resurrection Remix ROM 6.8 Build running Kernel 6.2 - Bootloop Issue Zenfone 5

Hello, Newbie Here!
So I recently flashed the Resurrection Remix ROM Build 6.8 and Kernel 6.2.
The Build is rather stable and In my honest opinion better than CM12.1 which I was on previously.
So the normal functions of the phone are normal and I feel this is a much stable build. I use a ASUS Zenfone 5(ASUS_T00F)
But I face random reboots where the phone restarts itself and gets stuck at the boot. Only when i try to force reboot from the bootloop screen does the phone restart normally and even that takes three or four attempts. First I thought it was just getting used to the new Kernel then when this started occurring frequently I became more aware that this might just be a potential risk.
Today afternoon, My Phone was literally stuck at bootloop for 2 hours.... Only when I tried to do three-four manual forced reboots by pressing my power key and with each instance entering the TWRP mode and doing a dalvik and cache wipe only then was I able to boot up my phone normally.....It totally drained the battery though. I was at 78% and when my phone finally booted up I was shocked to see just 1% charge left.
Everytime this issue occurs...either the phone is completly stuck in bootloop or goes to the "Android is upgraing your apps" notification and then again comes back to the bootloop.
I have also done two fresh flashes before this as well so I know its got nothing to do with a dirty flash.
I then started googling for the same issue that other Zenfone 5 users might be experiencing but to my shock...No threads on it could be found with the issue that Im experiencing.
Pretty frustrated right now I have no clue what to do.
Donot want to go back to STOCK ROM..It sucks.
Please help Guys!

Hello.
You should try to format system and reinstall the rom + xposed. After that you can format data, cache, internal storage. I hope that it will help you.
And did you have this problem on CM12.1?

Just format again and re flash rom with xposed it fixed my bootloop.

The solution is,
Go back to stock rom. ???

Download latest firmware from Asus' Support Page. And flash it via adb sideload.

I m now on Stock Rom without any problems no screen freeze no bootloops ...

[solved] Phone is acting weird ... random reboots shortly after boot

Hi there,
I started this topic because I am out of options and I don't know what to do at this point.
My Phone is a XT1562 DualSim.
I recently flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/development/rom-spetrum-mm-volte-t3462690 and I also installed "MODEM" (MPD24.107-70) from page 1, but not right away.
First I wiped everything expect "internal storage". The phone booted but it restarted during boot (which might be okay) but then it rebooted again during boot. The boot process finally finished and I got to the screen "Android is starting - Optimising app x of y." The phone rebooted even during that process and that is definitely not normal I think. So after a couple of reboots android did finally optimise all apps but the phone did still reboot withing the first 30 seconds after it was booted.
From here I did a lot of testing and doing. These are my findings:
- When I set phone to flight mode / airplane mode it does NOT reboot... Hurray!
- When I flash another ROM (Official CM 13, http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...m-cyanogenmod-13-preview-moto-x-play-t3252255) the phone runs like a charm, NO reboots whatsoever.
- - But as soon as I flash gapps and the phone is booted, I get the reboots again (usually within the first 30 seconds).
- - Again setting the phone to flight mode prevents itself from rebooting.
- - Apparently it doesn't matter what version of gapps I flash. I even tested the light version (ARM, 6.0, Pico, from http://opengapps.org/). It still reboots. I also tried gapps mini and stock.
Oh and I don't think its MODEM (mentioned above) related, because I faced these problems already before I installed / updated the MODEM. Well I thought its MODEM related, that's why I went back to MODEM stock version MPD24.107-52 but that did't help either. I should mention that I am not sure if I had MPD24.107-52 installed originally but spetrum (the rom developer) pointed me to that version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69129552
I also restored my working TWRP backup from an android I used for month and guess what, yep, reboots
brrrrr this is frustrating
I never experienced that before and frankly I am out of ideas.
Anything is welcome and appreciated
Thank you

If nothing helps reflashing the whole firmware is always an option

Thanks I haven't done that.
To be clear, you mean firmware as in stock rom / factory image?

I always go back to flashing stock rom with rsdlite whenever things went wrong and I can't solve it by flashing small fixes.

I mean full stock firmware you flash with fastboot or RSD. Roms are usually only system + kernel, so not very helpful in your case

Guys! Good news. I did go back to stock firmware and from there to official CM13. Of course I had to root and install TWRP again but it was worth it.
I lost a few days spending my time with it but I'm glad its all good now thanks to you.

Updating LOS results in boot loop

Hi,
I got a problem updating my Galaxy S5 (klte):
I'm running 2017-04-12_nightly (Android 7.1.1), which I want to update with TWRP 3.1.0.0
After update I get stuck during boot. I hangs showing the LOS logo for hours. The only solution is to du a fresh reinstall. Recovering previously backed-up app data from Titanium works well, but recovering system settings results in a bootloop again, it happens no matter if I wipe Cache/Dalvik or not.
I tried flashing another nightly (which worked, as a clean install, not as an update) and updating from there on. But same results. Any update from any version gets me stuck. Only thing that works is a complete wipe and reinstall.
Having to go through a clean reinstall for every update is really time consuming.
As a new user I'm not allowed to post external links, so I can't link logs unfortunately.
Any idea what is going on here?

To be honest idk the answer but I would suggest to try another twrp version or to ask on the specific xda thread of the rom. Btw, you can post a link if you leave some space between the website like "www.google .at" so others can contribute to solve your problem.

Thanks,
I posted do the LOS thread.

can't update past LineageOS 14.1 20171013

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.
