Hi, I had this phone for awhile and no matter what rom is use. it hard resets on its own.
it happens every 2 - 3 months. I always flash a stock rom before i use a custom one and remove all the cards.
so what could be my problem?
thanks.

Hahah, well.. it depends where your letting your mind drift to!
I don't think that knocking, kicking or touching wood will help .
It's strange, never had the problem, but offcourse, I flash new ROMs a bit often than few months (sometimes, 2-3 times a week ).

A lot of development been going since then! He's not coming back! so try another rom, as much as I loved his ...
I had this problem
I had this problem after upgrading to TNT .19199 (which I think but am not 100% sure, is WM6.1)
My phone **** itself at least 20 times in 2 weeks before I went back to TNT.1921(which I think but am not 100% sure, is WM6.0).
That was 3 months ago and it hasn't happened since

Oops...should have updated my signature before posting that one......hmmmmmit did it automatically...excuse my blabbering
Well I had no other better name to call it, maybe perhaps tyrannosaurs kernel, but the name is moot.
The kernel was too strong and has killed the device. No power, no boot, nothing.
Kernel kill count ~ 4
I'm terrible sorry to anyone that flashed it...

Features:
-Stock rom kernel [root access]
-boot animation support
-init.d [can be used for scripts that use it, potentially undervolting]
This isn't meant to be a kill them all kernel, but we have to have something, right?
I STRONGLY recommend making a backup before flashing.

I don't know if this will work, but in this thread of our forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727171 this guy provided a stock unaltered boot.img to flash via odin to help those who flashed a foreign root on their devices. Maybe this will help.. Though I'm not sure if I should be asking if things work anymore.

turn it off for a while after unticking it

The good news is that it's vibrating.So that might be a good sign.. Maybe try plugging it in to your computer and see if you can get it in to download mode (hold volume down+power)

Have you dropped it recently because the screen might have come partially disconnected from the phone and cause the screen to go off.. However I guess that doesn't explain the vibrating

If all else fails its still something you can check out.. It's easy to fix you just need a tiny screwdriver and to open it up and reconnect it...
If I was you I would try to get it in download mode long enough to flash.. It's almost instantaneous

It could be a hardware issue. in which case you could send it to Samsung for repair. But they might not want to cover the bill if they find out its rooted and running custom firmware.. Maybe try to fully brick it first so they can't see your flash counter

might be out of the question, its locked on tmobiles network, only works on att... lol in other words "blacklisted IMEI" so........ im kinda on my own here...
This exact thing happened to me.
I couldn't ODIN or went into recovery because the phone wouldn't stay on long enough.
It would turn on for a few seconds and died and would constantly vibrate.
I tried JIG to force into download mode. Didn't work.
I tried JTAG service. Didn't work.
I was lucky enough that the phone was still under warranty so I had it replaced. But I think your phone is as good as gone.
You can always try JTAG (the only service that MIGHT bring your phone back to life) and hope that you're luckier than I was.

yeah i think its beyond fixing, as far as what im capable of. I knew the answer just wanted to hear it else where.... i contacted mobiletechvideos.com for a jtag service lets see if they can fix it. other than that.... u know anyone who would buy it? for 100 bucks?

I suggest that you send it for JTAG service anyway. If they can't fix it, they'll refund your money less shipping charge so you're only out a few bucks.
If they could fix it, then you obviously could sell the phone for a little bit more. Considering that you're already willing to cut your losses anyway, might as well give it another week or so. At least this way you know that you've tried absolutely EVERYTHING and know for sure that the phone is actually beyond fixing.
Or, you can try contacting this guy.
He's looking to buy a T989 motherboard. I'm assuming a "working" motherboard, but hey... you never know, right?
Good luck!!!! :fingers-crossed:

Hi- on stock rom, rooted. Whenever I touch the screen a small white dot appears. It follows my finger if I move it.
I disabled "Show Touches" in Dev Options but it persists.
Any help ?
Thanks,
Tom
It sounds exactly like show touches. Try turning it back on and then off again. And maybe a reboot for good measure.

I did try that but no luck.
I would turn it on and reboot, then turn it off and reboot. If that didn't get then I'd just spend the 15 minutes and reimage it.
