Phone acting craaaaazzzy - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So i recently went to AOKP. All was fine for a few days but then i started getting random reboots. In fact, it wouldn't let me even shut the device down. I would pull the battery, put it back in like 30 minutes later, and it would immediately boot back up. I didn't even hit the power button! I odined back to FF18 stock and it still does random reboots and wont shut down. When i hit the power button, the screen does not go to sleep. I even went as far as going back to EL29 and still no luck. Any thoughts?

When you went back to FF18, did you factory reset+ caulkin's format all? What are the steps you took to flash those roms? Is the rom bare stock when the problems occur or is it after you add your own apps?

Is this the stock battery? If not put it back in, I had some issues with an aftermarket battery and switching back to stock fixed the issues.

I always wipe everything when flashing new ROMs. With the exception of AOKP where you are not supposed to wipe system. I think this was just a fluke. After several hours of battery pulling, flashing ROMs and charging and discharging, all seems to be well. It may have been an issue with my battery but idk. It has been running stable for a couple of hours now. Thank you for your responses

Who told you are not supposed to wipe the system? You're not supposed to use the Factory Reset options while on ICS since they use unsafe recoveries. When using recoveries like TWRP and agat's, they have been labled as safe. That is what mostly like your problem. Your safest route would be to EL26 Kernal, factory reset+wipe cache and dalvik cache, caulkin's format all+ rom then gapps.

Broken Recovery

So after flashing the Hitman 1.5 with Touch Recovery, my recovery doesn't work. I tried flashing other kernels via Odin, to no luck. Tried flashing EG30 rooted, still no luck. Basically whatever recovery I flash, I can see it boot to its name, but then it quickly reboots. I've seen others report of same issues, but no fix?!
you need to odin completely back to stock with a full rom.
just flashing kernels is not going to fix it.

Hmm, having issues going back to gingerbread from ics leak. Flashed complete system, then recovery. I can boot into it fine, although errors a lot and doesn't see internal, only SD. Installs, but doesn't boot up fully. Reflashed full ics leak again and it works fine again. Bah!

Random reboots on ics

IM sure that someone has already talked about this but I can't find it any where.
Has anyone figured out why on the last couple leaks there have been issues of random reboot?
Does anyone know how to make them stop happening?

I have never had the random reboot issue. I'm guessing thats probably a bad install issue. It seems to be a hit and miss issue as some have the issue and others never do.

It seems like more often than not the random reboots a lot of people are seeing are from one of two things: a bad install or because they are using a CWM repacked kernel.
I'd suggest switching to a stock kernel first. If that doesn't work do a total wipe, redownload the ROM and then flash the new copy.
Good luck!
I've never had them until this past week on fc22, and now on Calk's 1.3a. I always verify checksums, so I don't think mine is due to a bad download. I suspect it's CWM related. I'm switching to stock kernel. But I also restored my data partition after the last few flashes, so that could be it too.

I use stock no cwm kernel and have not had a single reboot. It could be a bad install even if its a good download. I would try flashing again.

I was having them earlier on Caulks ics ROM but not on 1.3a. I was at the point of using Odin to go back to stock, and would have done so had latest version not corrected this.

It all depends which ics you're running
So I spoke too soon. Last night had at least a half dozen reboots on caulks ROM and used Odin to return to GB and Caulks 2.8 version without any further problems. Never figured out the cause but will wait until official release is out and Caulk has his way with it.

If you were having them when the battery level was low even around 30% than it's a sign you should of just flashed the new battery saver script. Calk had updated it I think it was after he put up v1.3a cause ya it was causing it to reboot at certain power lvls.
I have random reboots like crazy on FF02 and now on FF09 stock rooted.
On cm9 alpha 4 I would have a random reboot every couple days nothing major. I would never have anything like that on the Gingerbread roms I just flashed cm9 alpha 5 yesterday and have had no problems yet but its only been one day so time will tell. Before cm9 I was running the hydra rom which was awesome and I did not have on reboot but everything was so small it got annoying so I switched to cm9.
happens to me with 4g. It causes reboots on some ICS leaked roms
I have the exact same problem all my ICS rom are good and stable for a day or two before they just start rebooting and if i stay persistent they become hot reboots and drain my battery. I tried going back to GB stock kernels/roms and my phone still reboots any suggestions?

Lag/frozen problem

I just got my s3 not long ago and I flashed a couple roms. Decided to go back to a tw stock ROM so I flashed blazer's ROM. And all of the sudden I've been getting really bad lag issues. For example when I would swipe to change home screen pages I would be presented with a major lag spike. Also sometimes when I would lock my phone (turn off with the on and off switch not the android lock pattern) and I would turn the phone back on it would just just stay frozen at where I last left it off on. And I have no way of doing anything so I have to pull the battery. So I thought it would be a bad ROM flash. So I reflashed and problem kept occurring. So I decided to flash another ROM (freegs3 with stock kernel) and problems are still occurring. Can anyone give me some advice?

Are you running any tweaks? Are you undervolting? Were you dirty flashing? Did you clean wipe? Did you try wiping cache and dalvik and rebooting?

i always do clean flashes. im not running any tweaks besides the ones that are built into the rom. i never undervolted.
i do a factory reset, then wipe dalvik and cache. then do a system format to remove the rom entirely.

[Q] Why does a battery pull kill my stock rooted 4.1.2 SGH-T989 UVMC6 ???? [SOLVED]

If you are running stock rooted 4.1.2 UVMC6 on a SGH-t989, pull out your battery while the phone is on. Now, can you get past the 4G screen? If you can, is everything now FC on you?
This is frustrating. It seems all runs SO PERFECTLY. Until I pull my battery on the stock rooted 4.1.2. Then my phone will not boot or will not boot properly.
Anyone else have this?
*edit* Jamison's Infamous CACHE wipe fixed it. I ran the cache wipe script under TWRP. The phone rebooted itself. I waited a few minutes and it worked!!!
Get the script here!

I'll try this next time. I'm tired of restoring my phone just to have it randomly die. A few days later.
This time I restored with the stock rooted deodexed rom and not ODIN. Maybe it'll keep working...
Funny thing though. The ODIN stock for SGH-t989 works GREAT (minus one wierd FC ridden boot that fixed itself) on my wife's SGH-i727 Skyrocket. WiFi calling and all.

Why are do doing a battery pull? You can't power off normally? If the phone is freezing just hold the power button in for about ten seconds, and it will do a reboot no matter what it's frozen on. Then when it reboots you can do a normal reboot or power off.

Thats where it runs into problems. I get to the 4G screen and 99% on the loading bar. Then it just stays there no matter what. Battery pull. Power button reset. Nothing. Oh well. I installed the stock rooted rom and now do frequent nand backups. Haven't had a problem so far... I've tucked the cache wipe script on my sd card just in case...

It takes time to boot sometimes. I've waited around 10 - 15 minutes for it to get past the loading screen. I don't know if it's device related or update related but either way just give it some time your next go

(Q) Phone Randomly Decided To Bootloop Today?

Ok I had purchased the ZL battery and have been using it since day 1, however today i got home around 11:25pm. i had put my phone on charge @ 3PM. I just finished my 3rd cycle for the battery so i'd figure its done charging as it indicated it was, and turn it on and now all of sudden constant bootloop out of nowhere.
What could have caused this? it was working just fine before i didn't change anything at all.
I'm Running Stock TW w/Saber Kernel. I had purchased the ZL battery a week ago and ever since no problems, nor did i flash anything at all. I've been on TW way before i even thought of buying the battery.
So what could have caused this to undergo a bootloop session.
I went into recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and still is doing a bootloop. Should i do a factory reset however i have no backup because i have been fine since and I've been on Stock TW figure this wouldn't happen.
This used to happen on my epic if I ever left the battery out too long. I always just reflashed either the rom or the kernel. Worst case scenario you just nandroid and restore data.

Try going into Advanced then format system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
Then swipe to confirm and repeat this 2 more times for a total of 3 Advanced wipes
If that still doesn't help then follow the same procedure but after performing an Advanced wipe 3x go into Format Data to format your internal storage.

Seems like you already did a full stock restore. I had the same symptoms, different rom tho. Reflashing the rom without wiping allowed me to boot up normally and with all of my data is intact. FYI for next time.
