[Q] My phone freezes on the shutdown or reboot

I'm having freeing issues on my phone when I shut it off or even try the reboot command. The only time it doesn't get stuff on goodbye tmobile msg when I reboot to the recovery from ROM manager app. Is it the software/rooted roms issue or hardware related issues? Anybody else has seen/experienced that? Should I get it replaced from T-mobile before I switch to GS3? I'm using Infamous 2.6.5 Rom. I didn't flash any kernel on this rom yet. I do remember flashing Darkside kernel on my previous rom didn't change anything either! Any suggestions?

Flash darkside cache wipe (not super wipe!) and it should fix the problem. It pretty much happens with all ICS roms.

Yeah, do what Ash said. It's a problem with the Cache wiper in CWM-based recoveries... boot into recovery and flash this zip: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/p...PE.zip?r=&ts=1339897719&use_mirror=hivelocity
It'll do the job.

I have a maybe similar problem, My phone fell off my hands and now it doest boot, it shows darkside loading screen then screen goes blank and then phone keeps vibrating, tried to go into recovery but it doesnt. Though it still goes to download mode. I guess internal sd got pulled out due to fall. Any suggestions?
I have T989D

Nilay, you should go ahead and completely restore your phone back to stock, then.
Follow these instructions:

Once you're back to stock, you can go ahead and root/flash recovery and go back to whatever rom you were using.

It worked flawlessly after the dark-side cache wipe. Now it reboots and turn off like factory rom.

So it no longer pauses at the "goodbye!" anymore?
Mine does that for about 10 - 20 seconds, was wondering if it was normal....

Clockworkmod Recovery Incessantly Freezing

---First off, let me preface this by acknowledging the fact that, yes, I am indeed a noob. And I'm sure some of the info I'm going to put in here probably isn't needed, but as I said, I am a noob, and thus am not entirely sure what is relevant and what is not. I also apologize if some of what I say and/or what I did doesn't make sense and/or is idiotic, but again, noob. That being said I don't have any techie friends and never really had a nack for this kind of stuff, but hey gotta start somewhere right? So, that being said, here's my dilemma:
This all started last week when I was downloading the CyanogenMod Nightlies *Rom. The download started and was going along just fine when my phone suddenly turned off and starting vibrating and then wouldn't turn back on. Everything I would press power it would just start vibrating in regular one second intervals over and over. Finally I remove the battery. It turns back on fine. Download resumes. And... Bam! Happens again. This time I try the same remove to no avail and about 15 minutes later I'm thinking that this is it for my phone when it finally reboots. So I decide, alright, lemme just download this Rom and try to flash it, or at the very least just restore the phone and hope this is a software issue. So I had also just downloaded Rom Manager and was going into recovery via Clockworkmod recovery as the instructions prompted me to in the CyanogenMod tutorial. Now every other time I have installed a new Rom I just manually boot into recovery as the phone turns on. This time I boot into the Clockworkmod recovery though cuz I wanna follow the directions to the "T" and I proceed to selecting the factory reset and it wipes the data and freezes when wiping the cache. So I'm sitting there like, "Oh s**t, what do I do now?" I let it sit for fifteen minutes hoping it will magically unfreeze and all will be right in the world, but it doesn't and I reset the phone via the power button. Then it boots up and tells ne there a issue with my custom OS and I'm not really are what to do here. So, i reboot it and it acts like the reset was successful and prompts me to set up my phone like I just flashed the Jedi Mind Trick Rom I've been using. So I tried again, and same thing. Got stuck on clearing the cache. Luckily it lets me set up the phone again after I interrupt the frozen factory reset. This time I try to boot into recovery manually, pressing the hard keys, and all the phone does is restart. So I try again. And again. And again to no avail. I look up the key sequence thinking I may have forgotten it and am doing it wrong, but after trying every combo I can find online, it still doesn't work. So I give up and go into recovery via clockworkmod and restore my phone to my very first nandroid backup I made before I ever started messing with custom roms, and everything goes fine it seems until it gets to a command about something revolving cache and it freezes again! I eventually have to reset it and it gets stuck in a loop where the Samsung logo comes up, it makes a loud annoying beeping noise for a few seconds before it turns off and does it all over again. Now I'm sure I've bricked my phone. I take out the battery, wait, put it back in, but still nothing. I do this a few more times, wait and hour, and it finally boots up. So now I try to go into recovery manually again, but still just get the phone resetting. I try to go uninstall clockworkmod and go into recovery via Rom toolbox pro, but I still get the clockworkmod recovery rather than the phone's normal recovery I used to be able to get to before I ever installed clockworkmod. So I'm stuck here. I know that's a lot of info, but I didn't want to leave anything out incase it was important. Thanks in advance for any advice and/or directions you can give me. *
P.S. I read in someone's post here that the first issue of the phone turning off and vibrating could be the result of a bad power sensor. So I wanted to add that since this two mysterious restarts and vibrations, nothing like that has happened in the... Approximately 5 days since (for whatever that's worth). *
Thanks again, and I apologize for any ignorance you have encountered while trying to read this post.

OK seriously... save yourself the trouble and just flash TWRP recovery instead.

Missing some needed info...
Current status? What do you have access to? Recovery? Does the ROM boot?
Any issues with the phone right now? (You say no mysterious reboots for 5 day now, just confirming)
Recovery version? If you're using CWM I would suggest against using ROM manager. I would also suggest you do use the darkside scripts for wiping your phone.
Exact ROMs you flashed?

Ok. Checked it out and got twrp. I clicked install openrecoveryscript. It downloaded. Didn't restart or anything. Now can I just flash the new Rom I want directly from there then? All it says it that I must have installed the recovery script. Just wanted to know though, is it still right that when I reboot into recovery it goes to the cwm recovery? Just wanna make sure before I go messing up my phone.
Thanks!

Currently I'm running the stock ICS Rom for the phone. Ill attach a screenshot of the specifics. I can go into cwm recovery but anything related to cache freezes. No issues with the phone other than I can't use my hard keys to boot into recovery when restarting the phone, if that even counts. I'm using cwm v6.0.1.4 and really I don't want to use cwm, how do I go about changing that? And I downloaded the darkside supervise and cache wipe. Do I just use those instead of the factory reset in the cwm recovery? Or did I read into that wrong?
Thanks!

I thought the new version of CWM was freezing, but it just takes FOREVER to do your first backup because it's building the blobs or whatever they are called. The second backup went fine, however, I think it's too much headache and went back to the 5.0.2.7. Call me crazy but I'm still very hesitant to use TWRP after the wave of phone bricks that happened a few months ago from people installing it.. I'm still not convinced its totally safe and stable..

Now when you day forever, what are you talkin here? I waited a very long time. Regardless though sounds like an easy solution so ill try this real quick and see. You think just reverting back to use 5.0.2.7. Would solve the cache problems I've been running into or would I have to try to clear that up first and then this would work?
Thanks!

Yes, the darkside scripts were used in older cwm recoveries because the default wipes didn't do the job. As for switching away from cwm I'm guessing you want to jump to twrp. You can do that by following the instructions at http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/101

same thing happened to me on cwm v6.0.1.4 so this is what i did
1. flash an older version of cwm thru odin (search "cwm recovery tar t989")
2. reboot to cwm
3. darkside cache wipe (hopefully that will get to your homescreen, if not, super wipe and new rom that *****)
4. when you are at your homescreen, download and install goomanager from store
5. open it, tap the menu button, hit Install OpenRecoveryScript
6. reboot to recovery
7. now you have twrp, have fun

Thanks for the steps there. Pretty much did a combo of what everyone was saying. Went back to an older version of cwm and used darkside wipes. Then wouldn't you know? It worked! Yay for me. So I'll just keep my older version of cwm, for now at least. Well, anyway, thanks to everyone for helping me figure this out. Much obliged!

Just happened to me last night. I was using CWM 6.0.1.4 touch version and finally crash without reason.
I almost tried to ODIN back to stock/unroot, then I thought it might be possible just re-flash the CWM recovery to 5.0.2.7 version.
And it works!
try to avoid 6.0.1.4 version at this time. lots of issues.
btw, twrp is better than CWM? what's the difference? how do I activate the recovery menu from boot?

Yep, same thing I ended up doing, thought I posted that but I guess I never did. I ended up using the darkside wipes and going back to an older version like you and someone else said. Now everything's just fine. And btw, to get into recovery from boot just restart it holding power, volume up, and volume down at the same time. Then once you see the Samsung logo let go of the power button but keep holding volume up and down till you see the recovery menu.

Re-Stocked My Phone

So pretty much, I was getting really sick of all the issues I was having with my phone on custom ROMs so I just decided to go back to stock and to root it and have fun. But now I just reflashed stock via odin and it's just sitting here on the SAMSUNG screen. The one where it flashes blue behind the word SAMSUNG, is it normal to be sitting here for about 5-15mins like this?

You need to boot back into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and it should boot just fine after that.

Well, now that it's in stock ROM, go into stock recovery and wipe it back to defaults. That has helped a few others in your position.

Hercules Won't Factory Reset

I've actually got several problems.
1.) My phone won't shut down completely. It just goes to the T-Mobile screen and stops shutting down at that point.
2.) When I go to factory reset and click on "delete all..." nothing happens.
3.) The whole reason I want to reset is because I want to flash CyanagenMod and every time I try I get stuck in a boot loop. This happens no matter how many times I wipe everything. I just get stuck in a bootloop...with every Rom I try to flash. I can flash a backup though
I am rooted and have several T-Mobile bloatware frozen using Titanium Backup, so that could be the problem.
So to summarize:
Rooted and running stock ICS
Using Rom Manager and ClockworkMod 6.0.2.7 (also have touch reocovery, but it's quit working)
Titanium Backup used to freeze T-Mo and a couple of Samsung apps
Phone won't shut down properly (have to pull battery)
Phone won't reset to factory settings.
Can't flash roms stuck in Bootloop
I can flash backups tho.

Use TWRP : Wipe , Wipe System and Preload .. Flash Rom Reboot..let sit 10 Min everything should be fine!

So, to be sure I know what your talking about ur sayin that before u flash a rom all your doing is a factory reset? U need to do a full system wipe, start clean, switch to twrp, wipe system cache Calvin and do a factory reset from recovery, then flash ROM, gapps ,and reboot, let the phone sit idle and set itself up for ten min or so before u use it, reboot once then set up ur phone, if that doesn't work Odin back to stock and start fresh

Thanks for the responses guys.Just a little fyi here. I've tried to wipe everything and I do seem to be on some CWM Touch recovery. After tletting the phone sit, drain recharge, fiddling with wiping, and flashing CM9 (by accident, it was in my recovery files) it reboots into the CM9 splash screeen, but just stayed there (no bootloop). As a result I had to buy an N4 that I plan to return (I want it, just can't afford it,lol) and revisited my Herculean disaster (pun intended). I can now wipe! It still reboots into CM9 splash screen, but it seems to be working !
Here's what you need to know. I'm not real knowlegeable about Odin/kies/ and TWRP. I'm thinking of trying to side flash CM10 or CM10.1, but have never flashed this way. Any links for help?
Thanks in advance!

First thing first, go download "Odin 1.85" on you computer and open it, also download "team win recovery project 2.5.5.0 for T-Mobile galaxy s2" it'll be a .tar file, connect your OEM factory USB cable to your computer and with Odin open connect to your phone while holding vol-vol+ ,this should bring up a warning screen, select continue and bam ur in download mode and odon should say "added", now without clicking any other box, select PDA, when it opens find the twrp2.5.5.0.tar file u downloaded earlier, select it and press start in Odin, let it do its thing and u should get a green box with "PASSED", congrats u now have newest twrp recovery, now download your fav rom, mine is Embryo 6.10, place it on your external SD card, boot phone into recovery by holding vol-vol+ and power buttons, select wipe, make sure u do a full wipe, wipe everything that's not storage, then go back home and select install, find the ROM u want and select it, now flash the ROM, let it do its thing and u should be in business, pm me if u need help I'll walk u through it, if I helped hit the thanks button

Thanks soupy. I used odin to flash recovery and to root, but it was a long time ago because the phone never shut down properly and I wasn't able to flash any roms. As a result I've just held on for a new phone. I have to take the (way overpriced) N4 back to T-Mo today and want to get my GSII running again , so that I have something until I buy another N4 from Google this time.
I know. TMI. I just can't resist. lol.
So today's the day I may have questions everyone. hint hint.:silly:

Bootloop? Please help this soooper noober!

Sorry for my total noobness. I've just recently started this whole root awesomeness and I've hit a snag...... I'm sure there are many threads about my problem but I can't find one. I had CM 10.2 on my AT&T galaxy s3 and things were smooth and stable. Decided to try the "Collective" 4.3 ROM and SixShooter kernel. I put the zips in the phone (used the same gapps zip that was in there because I believe the Collective ROM is based off of the CM 10 ROM). Did a backup, then wiped chache, dalvick cache, system, and data (using TWRP recovery). Then did a multiple install of all three files in one action because TWRP lets you. so why not do it?
Rebooted, and I get the samsung logo, then sixshooter, then blank screen, vibration, pause, another vibration, then it starts all over. I can go into odin mode, or pull the battery to get it to stop.
Tried using odin to flash the .tar file, but it says PASS! and then the phone just automatically starts the loop again.
Was installing all 3 files (ROM, KERNEL, and Gapps zip files) at the same time a bad move?
I tried going back into recovery and it gives me the CWM recovery. Do I have TWRP AND CWM at the same time? Wierd. Tried wiping cache, and dalvik cache again and then rebooting, it still loops.
I'm at a a loss. I've watched a ton of videos and they all pretty much just say to find the right .tar and use odin to get back to stock. Like I said I've tried this and it just starts the loop again. Please help!! (I don't know a thing about ADB/terminal commands so if thats the fix I'll need my hand held) If theres a link to a thread that tells me how to get out of this I'd sure appreciate it. I greatly appreciate anyone who can take the time to explain to me what to do......

I would suggest booting into recovery and do the full wipe. Then just flash the ROM and gapps. If you're still bootlooping it could be a bad download of the ROM so if youve still got cm10.2 sitting around flash it instead. If that works I would look at downloading collective again. If not well maybe someone else has some input.

Ok, I just read the op again, and isn't the sixx shooter kernel packaged with the ROM? Also it states to factory data reset, wipe dalvik, install ROM, and the phone should reboot by itself do to a script, let phone settle, THEN boot back into recovery, flash gapps, wipe cache, reboot, enjoy! Maybe u shouldn't have flashed everything at once?

Yep, I'm a total tool. I installed everything in one action. ROM, gapps, kernel. Guessing I didn't need the kernel. And I should have read more closely the collective thread as it says to do the ROM. let it reboot, settle, etc. So the install all of them in one step is where I forked it up. I got it though. Pulled my head out and got the newest TWRP .img file and updated my recovery with odin. ROM is loaded and sweet as all get out!!
Crisis averted. Don't know what I would have done at work tomorrow without my podcasts and pandora! Thx for the help though. Love this forum.

Hmm. Okay, guess I don't have it completely sorted. I have gotten it to boot into the OS, let it sit a few. turned it off and tried to boot into recovery with vol+/home/power but it just starts it back up to the OS? Does the collective ROM change the way you get into recovery?

Should have the four way reboot in the power menu. Long press the power button, while the phone is on, select reboot recovery. See if that helps...

Nevermind, I got it. lol
Gotta let go of that power button after vibration......man it's late
