[Q] CM7 Random Reboot and RE Setup Issue

Hi,
I am having a really odd and very frustrating issue with the latest CM7 Stable Build on my device.
I have been using the latest stable since its release back in November.
I ensured a clean wipe and install of CM 7.1.0.1 and setup my phone accordingly and Nandroid Back Up around a Week later as the Device was behaving as intended.
Sadly, I am now plagued with the following issue which occurs without any common trigger....
I will be using the device which will be behaving normally and it will suddenly, normally when screen is off... reboot and enter a Boot Loop (CM7 Robot will either be frozen solid or will keep rebooting to CM7 Robot) which seems to continue until a battery pull.
I will then restart the device and it sometimes boots straight away though sometimes hangs for a while. Once booted it boot to the 'Setup your device' Screen, from which point onwards you are required to Re-Enter your Logins for Google and such like. All settings and sync profiles are normally missing/deleted so requires setting up of all apps requiring logins etc.
As you can imagine, the above is quite an inconvenient as it normally happens when I actually need to use the device
I have tried reinstalling a clean CM7 over the top as well as wiping and formatting the SD card.
Neither seem to have solved the issue.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
It is also worth noting that while the device will charge off USB, it will not allow usb tethering or any form of USB Mounting etc.
Cheers
Jason

cm7 issues.
sounds like your in quite a pickle my friend.
i used to get your reboot issues (the bootloops) but that was because my phone was overclocked to over 700. i never got the setup device screen though.
when you say youve tried a clean install over cm7 have you factory reset the device as well as deleteing the dalvik cache??
also my sound stupid but have you tried your backup to see if it starts again??
it sounds like something has became quite corrupted.
have you installed any new apps recently or changed anything in the system files of the phone?
also when you have to go through the set up are all your apps still there afterwards? And when you first flashed it did the tethering work at all?

Yup and while it does restore to a point where I can use my phone quite quickly after however I'm very cautious after - typically it happens a couple of weeks later

No real new recent apps installed and no mods to the system files that I can recall.

All my apps are still installed but many apps require re-setup or accounts for sync require re-adding. Phonebook requires import of contacts however messages remain in place.
I can't recall I think it did or at least USB-Storage did

Do you have a SD ext partition?
I ask because I had similar problems (randomly losing data) with an ext 4 partition, repartitioning my card using ext 3 solved it, also put your dalvik cache and data back into phone memory if it isn't already as that can also cause instability.

Try this....
Run an RUU for wildfire.
- Download (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24 _ 3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed) from android forums.
- Connect phone to PC and run RUU
- This downgrads phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss
- Re-root with unrevoked 3
- Re-Flash CM7 and gApps

Many thanks Scratch and Arkose,
Since my post last week I have since formatted the SD Card as well as Wiping the Phone as much as possible.
I then flashed and installed the latest CM7 Stable, Radio Package as well as re-setting up the EXT Partition this time as Type 3.
Once up and running I reinstalled all Apps.
Seems to be running okay so far.
Long may it last hopefully.
If not will try last suggesion

Great stuff. Let us know how it goes

A quick update...
Still having issues
I'm noticing that randomly phone process will crash for no apparent reason/cause, normally when off Wifi and on Mobile Data.
Last night was the worst its even been though... at a critical moment when I needed the phone to work... it decided it was having none of it.
Phone kept switching Airplane Mode On and Off causing process.android.com to crash along with most other services So I rebooted only to find that it now was either stuck in Airplane Mode or couldnt enable to Radio (No Phone Signal at all) so I did a battery pull while trying to walk home in the pitch black and rebooted.
The Saga continued even after a battery pull, I eventually as I got in the door was able to use the 'Torch' and recieve a phonecall before all the processes crashed once more...
So I did a battery pull, left the phone for five mins and rebooted. All was well for a while, enabled Wifi, phone seemed happy.
Had to reboot a short while ago, after recieiving a phonecall and text.... grrr... anyone have any suggestions?

I had problem with process restarting. Adw launcher process I downloaded Go Launcher ex I have no problems now.

[Q] Wi-Fi Issues

Alright, a long while I brought up this question as I was hoping to fix my Kindle. Well, I ended up forgetting about my Kindle, and now that it's summer, I'd like to use it again. I forgot how much I missed it.
Anyways, here I am, still stuck with the Wi-Fi Connection issues. I was on a ICS ROM, however it would continuously freeze up on me. It was horrible, so I posted asking what the issue was, and several people basically told me, flash the latest kernel, it fixes this issue. So I was like, wow, simple fix, lets do it. I flashed the kernel, and boom. First thing to notice, Wi-Fi gone. However, the freezing up and crashing stopped, suppose thats a bonus. But, my Wi-Fi was gone. I figured, perhaps if I un-root and flash back to stock it'll fix. No, that didn't do it.
So today, I re-rooted it, I've got CM9 ICS ROM on it, and I still have Wi-Fi issues. Anyone know what I could possibly do?
I did Factory Reset's, Wiped everything clean when flashing my ROM's.
Any help, or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Some details :
Current ROM : CM9
Version : 9-20120706-UNOFFICIAL-otter
Kernel Version : [email protected])) #3 SMP PREEMPT
Kernel Date : Fri Jul 6 04:27:45 CDT 2012
Forgot to add: The issue at the moment is that when I turn wi-fi on, it gets stuck at the "Turning Wi-Fi On" screen. It never displays an places to connect, and I can never actually do anything. It just stays at "Turning Wi-Fi On"
Anything else just ask.

i am no pro or anything but if it didn't work on stock or when you reflashed I would say its an internal component but dont let me discourage you because I may be wrong.

Thank you for your reply. I suppose, I should've been more descriptive of my issue.
It's not even sure if I can connect to wi-fi. It may be possible, but when I go to turn Wi-Fi on, its stuck at "Turning Wi-Fi On"

1)
IF FOR SOME REASON WIFI DOESN'T WORK ON THE FIRST BOOTUP DO THE FOLLOWING:
Enter Terminal Emulator
Type: su
Type: fix-mac.sh
Exit Terminal Emulator
Reboot
2) If that didn't work try setting your connection from DHCP to Static
3) If those didn't work do a hard reset of your router and try the above steps again.
If it still doesn't work I'm guessing it's a hardware issue with the Kindle.

I did the fix-mac.sh and it didn't work. I just want to say ;
I don't have options for Wi-Fi. This isn't necessarily a Wi-Fi issue. It's more or less, allowing me to even use Wi-Fi.
When you navigate to the wi-fi section, you first have to turn it on. Well, when I turn it on, my device gets hung at the "Turning On Wi-Fi" page. It doesn't move past that. So I can't even ATTEMPT a connection to my Wi-Fi. In other words, it's basically not turning Wi-Fi on.
So this isn't an issue with connecting to my router, or any of that. It's an issue with turning wi-fi on. >_< sorry if you got confused with that. I'm doing my best to explain, quite tired at the moment.

You should try flashing the gedeROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619550
I never had problems turning on my Wi-Fi with it. Before flashing Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Factory Reset (it will wipe all your data/apps)
The ROM though tends to drop the connection when downloading gameloft apps.
If you don't want to switch ROMs you should
1) Download your current ROM again and put it on the SD Card
2) Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache - You don't have to do a Factory Reset when staying with the same ROM though it wouldn't hurt to wipe it.
3) Flash the ROM.
Good Luck

Same thing that's happening to me... can't turn wifi on or off, i get a lot of errors in logcat, the mac-fix.sh script doesn't do anything and the problem remains even when changing roms (i tried cm9, gedeROM and modaco, wiping cache/dalvik, data and system partitions each time with no luck). I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem.

I don't think its a hardware problem. Well I hope its not. Wondering if its a possibility that the kernel really messed things up somehow and its like locked. But I am glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue. Saddened that it has no solution.

I had similar issues with my phone...first reflash your rom. Reboot to recovery. Flash the kernel. Reboot. Always make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache. This could all be happening from a bad flash

[Q] com.android.phone problem!

a couple days ago i updated my nightly CM10.2, no problem, the next morning i get this pop up saying
"unfourtunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"
ive looked all over the forum to see what fits my problem.
and nothing has solved it
i have changed to previous roms to see if that was the problem. - didnt work
i cleared my cache, dalvik cache, system, and data through TWRP
then installed Carbon,
the still problem continued.
the only relief is when i turn off my network data to OFF, but i need that, and when i turn it on again, the problem returns.
Can anyone please help, i am losing my mind every second that message keeps popping up.

That sucks for sure, I was having the exact same problem as well. No matter what aosp based rom I used I kept getting the same message. Here is what worked for me, although I have no idea if the first step does anything lol.
1) dl, wipe, and flash a good stock based rom like Optimus v4.6. Update prl/profile and activate phone.
2)now dl, wipe, and flash to the latest nightly of CyanogenMod. At this point you will still get the message. Turn off data. Go into manage apps. Force stop dialer and clear cache and data, then do the same for phone.
Now while still under all app click the menu button and select reset app preferences.
3) do not turn data on yet. Now restart into recovery. Wipe/format cache and delvik.
4) now reboot phone as normal. Let your phone do it thing. You can now turn data back on!
I have no idea why this worked for me nore do I take credit for coming up with this. I can't remember where I found it on-line.
I hope this works for you as well as it did for me.

Phone rebooting

I am having a weird problem,
I was using B513, it was working fine for a couple of days but then suddenly the phone started rebooting itself. The reboots went on for a while and then all was normal for a while. I used it and it was fine.
Then the reboots started again,, so i decided to change my rom. I installed B132 but it didnt even go to the phone setup. It rebooted after the Huawei logo. So then i installed B508 (chinese version),, the phone now boots up but whenever i try to unlock it,,, just placing the finger over the unlock sign reboots the phone. I have installed TWRP recovery but even in the recovery mode it is doing the same thing,,, whenever i touch any icon in the recovery ,,, the phone gets stuck and restarts...
Any help will be appreciated... Thanks

Hello
have you found a solution against rebooting ??
I had the same issue with B513 rom.
I tried to install a custom rom (omnirom) and i hoped this will solve my problem but not.
The phone with omnirom keeps rebooting, reboots 50-60 times / day.
in recovery mode my phone is stable, or if my son plays angry birds on it the phone works well. I tried to do some stress test, the phone became hot, but it was stable, so it doesnt seem to be a hardware issue.
I dont want to throw away my phone, but i cant use the phone anymore

Currently using B512,,, it is working but not that good
Reboots when i try to hold an icon on the homescreen or sometimes randomly reboots

I have half solved the problem.
try to go back the earlier firmware as possible..
if i remember well, the chinese B111sp1 worked me..
and upgrade step by step through factory upgrade process.. it will take a long time, go through B111-B112-B113 and so on.
and when the system says, there is no more upgrade package, i installed omni rom 4.4.4.
Now its running almost fine.. if i start the system the system say: google calendar has stopped working, clock has stopped working.. i have to press ok a few times, and all error message disappear..
then the phone works, only the settings freezes
settings - language input - advanced options - then i press back, i get: unfortunately, settings has stopped
but i can live with it, because i can make and receive calls.

i checkey my system with stress test, etc, everything was fine, i thought this must be a sw issue,
the final solution:
backup what you want to keep..
Install twrp.
download omnirom 4.4.4 and gapps 4.4.4
and copy to sd card
boot to twrp
format the system partition, wipe everything except sd card..
wipe all. the wipe and format is the most important thing, without wipe and format, the system will be unstable again.
install omni rom and gapps
reboot
and enjoy

My problem is a little more complex....
As you said to install a custom rom but that is the problem,,, not even TWRP works for me anymore. It reboots when i touch anything in TWRP,,
so i am assuming something else is the problem

[Q] Can't turn wifi on. Tried with 5.1 and 4.4.4

I should mention that this phone is not mine and it was brought to me to fix. It could not get past the samsung bootup animation screen.
So I installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 and wiped everything. Then the first rom I flashed was [ROM][5.1.1][AOSPA] ParanoidAndroid 5.1 (5/21/2015) Then flashed gapps 5-22-15 from euroskank/banks. I wiped dalvik & cache (Is this necessary?) and rebooted.
The intro screen did not let me skip the wifi connecting part (I thought it was a bug in that version) and it told me to turn on wi-fi to connect.
So I tried the same thing with the version before that and it let me skip. After that I managed to turn it on once? But it the phone crashed and soft rebooted.
I tried other 5.1 roms and the wifi doesn't work still. It doesn't let me turn it on. Same with 4.4.4 with cm11. Also, the Wi-Fi MAC address says unavailable. Don't think that's supposed to happen?
Does anyone have a fix?
Edit: I took out the SIM card to see if that did anything. Then all of a sudden the grayed out On button turned blue and wifi networks appeared... But I couldn't do anything else since it made me restart. It stopped working after a reboot :/ Tried it several more times and couldn't get it to do the same thing..

Hope you had read the posts, it should had said the Rom is not "stable"
If your friend are going use their phone for daily driver, then I recommend you not have the 5.1 Roms for now because it's not really suitable for that right now.....
I'm not sure the CM11 you have flashed is unoffical or is offical. Offical onces are still work in progress and have most of the things broke (I think)
Here is a Kitkat Rom for SGH-T989
If your friend really wanted to have a Lollipop running on his/her phone, then I will recommend this one. Make sure you read the instruction CAREFULLY if you do wanted to install this one since it's a bit complicated with it's "virtual partition"
Or, if you wanted it to be just stock. Odin it back to normal, here is a instruction (with video too).
This is all the possible way to fix your friend's phone that I can think of, if you have encounter any error or have anymore question, feel free to reply :fingers-crossed::good::highfive:
P.S: yes, wiping dalvik & cache is a way to prevent any error caused by another old Rom if you decided to flash a new one. It's a good way to prevent error during Rom flash process

Thanks! I'll try the 4.4.4 rom you sent me. I'll post an update when I get to it.
Uh and about the 5.1 you linked. For the virtual repartition part in his post, I couldn't open the phone's internal storage on the computer after formatting it to ext4. So I'm confused about that step.

For the virtual partition, it's best for you to have it on the External SD card. Since TWRP transporting file to Internal Storage after that seems bugged (not working)
