[Q] Random phone reboots - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Im running clean rom 3.5, has anyone ever had the phone reboot while not in use? Mine will reboot and get stuck at the Galaxy Note II boot up banner, and if it does it overnight (like it did the other night) my phone reached 110 degrees. I re-flashed and problem was not solved.

What happens if you reflash the stock ROM, does it occur then? I've never had this issue with my Note II.

I havent tried that, i really rather stay on clean rom and fix the issue though. :silly: I assume for testing purposes I can put it through a stock rom and see..

Stock Rom Does the same

Are you overclocked?

Never had a problem with any clean rom versions...
Factory reset then flash stock and see if it happens. . If not, factory reset then flash clean rom 4.0

Phone will not boot any kernel. WHY?

First a little background. I am not new to the android world whatsoever. I don't post much but have been lurking for years. I had a Verizon GS3 and just recently switched to T-Mobile a few days ago and obviously bought a T-Mobile GS3. My vzw phone had no problems. But for some reason my T-Mobile phone will not boot any kernel I try to flash. Roms flash fine but when I flash a kernel everything goes fine in recovery but my phone won't boot past the splash and I end up having to restore a backup. I know I'm flashing the right kernels. I am on touchwiz based ROMs and haven't tried any aosp Rom because for the first time ever I actually prefer an OEM skin to aosp. So basically am I missing something obvious. Anyone else having thus problem. On Verizon I had to root and unlock the bootlosder. From what I understand tmobiles bootliader was not locked down and all I had to do was root. Like I said. I've tried every touch wiz Rom and every touch wiz kernel with each Rom and none will boot past the splash screen. I always wipe dalvik and cache but even tried wiping data every time too and keep getting the same result. Any input would be appreciated. . Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't need to do any wiping of any kind. I only use AOSP/AOKP, though. May I ask why you even bother with custom kernels? They honestly seem like a waste of time to me.
Im just flash happy. Like to try them out. I've been on Verizon for many Years and am used to the developers over there. I'm still getting used to the devs over here. Don't know any of there work. I'm sure its all good though. Been using imoseyons lean kernel since the thunderbolt back in the day and have stuck with them. Just my personal preference. I'd like to try some of tmobolrs kernel devs work but like I said I can't get a single one to boot.

What kernels have you tried to flash? There are a couple that have ICS builds. Also, what version of CWM are you using?
I've tried all the tw kernels. Every single one with 2 different ICS tw ROMs. I'm not using the leaked jb tw. I'm stickung with the more stable ICS ROMs for now. I just don't understand. I've tried every one. I've been flashing a long time and don't get it. Im kinda new to Samsung though. First Samsung was the galaxy nexus. Didn't ever use Odin with it. Does anyone flash kernels with Odin. Maybe I should try that. And to answer your question I've tried twrp and the latest version of cwm from rom manager. And of course I'm using the ICS TW version of the kernels im trying.

It could just be your phone doesn't like them. There is another guy on CM10 and AOKP that can't get custom kernels to boot either.

The kernel source code was never released for any build from UVALH2 and beyond. So most of our kernels will only work with UVALEM and UVALG1 builds.
We got kind of lucky I think and ktoonsez att kernel was brought over and works. I think there's one or two others that work now too.
As far as described here go I think we've got some of the best! For an outstanding rom you should try FreeGS3. It works with most of the kernels and is an awesome stable rom. If you want a later build try wildcards XquiziT v70 based on UVALH2. Use ktoonsez kernel with it.
And just to note, the stock kernel is surprisingly good. So give it a fair shot as well. Though I can definitely see some potential advantages of custom ones as well.

Thanks for all the info. But now I can't even get any other ROMs to boot. I don't get it. I keep having to restore my Xquizit v20 back up. Its driving me nuts

Have you done full Wiping?
Wipe Data/Factory Settings
Wipe cache and dalvik
Flash Rom
Fix Permission
Reboot and don't touch it for 10 minutes
Reboot.
Wipe cache and dalvik
Flash Kernel (Must be compatible with ROM)
Fix Permission
Reboot and don't touch it for 10 minutes
Reboot.
See if this will work. Sometimes you have to let it breathe so it can adjust itself.
Have you tried uding odin to flash MrRobinsons root66 UVALH2? This will take you to fresh full stock plus root. Then try roms again.

Whatever you do................
Be sure to double check before you flash that kernel. Had my first SGS3 for 12 days before hard brick set in. Terrible disease it is.......! I had to adopt a replacement shortly after to cope with the pain of the loss. Back on my feet again now though and soarin' higher than giraffe vagina on the things I learned in my days off for mourning. I can tell ya I've personally flashed the lean kernel and kt-747 with no issues. My problems were with siya mainly.
Guys, I have a serious problem.
It's similar to the one of the thread-opener.
The diference is that I cant get ANY ROM to boot, WITH the stock kernel.
And i do like the guide says: wipe/factory reset, wipe chache, wipe dalvik cache and then flash the ROM.
Everything works fine til the ROM finished flasing and runs a reboot.
My S3 shuts down screen, then turns screen on with the "Samsung Galaxy SIII-GT-I9300" and then thats it!
All i can do is to go in download mode or recovery mode. I can also flash CWM and so on, but after flashing ROMs it won't boot!
Is it possible that i broke the device by formating internal sd-card with the stock recovery tool?
Did it, after I tried to install Wickedv6 ROM and after both times when it rebooted it just reinstalled stock ROM. So i thought, ok delete the internal sd-card, so no stock ROM on it any more.
Also tried this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875923
Same problem.
Also tried to fix the problem by rooting and then flashing ROM. No help.
Please help guys!
Best regards

This isn't the I9300 forum, but if you flashed a T999 rom, you bricked your phone.

Wow, you scared the **** out of me
But i just tried to flash stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
It worked out!
What is the right forum for my GT-I9300 to post then?
And why isn't any other ROM working?
The forum you got that stock rom from is the international one. This is the US Tmobile T999 forum. The two phones are NOT compatible.
Only flash, well...anything, from that forum. Our roms will brick yours and vice versa.

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.

Why is this happening to my Gnexus?

Hey fellow gnex community! I recently left stock rom due to freezes and random reboots. I've tried out various rom and kernel combinations this week such as xylon/AK, Purity/AK, AOKP/franco/lean, CM10.1/trinity/franco, Rasbean/trinity, PA/lean/franco/trinity/AK and Xenon.
The problem is they all freeze and reboot constantly after 2 minutes of use. I never changed the kernel settings and this is only happening on 4.2.1 roms. My favorite rom/kernel combo would be purity/AK, Xylon/AK but they freeze, wifi disconnects and never connects back and reboots constantly.
So the question is why is this happening to my phone recently and are there specific kernel settings that will stabilize the roms or is it just my phone?
Any help would be great,
thanks.
I haven't had that problem before, and I have flashed several roms (though not a custom kernel in a while)
Faulty hardware perhaps?

but this never happened on 4.1, 4.0.4 etc. That's what's worrying me.
4.2.1 isn't exactly highly regarded for its stability....
I reccomend going back to a good 4.1.2 rom. You aret missing anything anyway

I would do a full wipe and fastboot flash the stock images from Google to see if this helps. Mind you, your internal memory will be wiped so back up all of your photos etc..

but I heard people change the kernel settings and the phone will become smoother/stable? I really love some of the features from 4.2.1 that's the reason I'm a bit hesitant to go back to 4.1.2
Try a full wipe, and fast boot a stock image on and proceed from there.

I've done that twice already and usually wipe after it freezes but then still happens
Are you sure you know how to flash? Not trying to offend but it saves a lot of time if your a noob.
I currently wipe dalvik cache 3x, cache 3x, and factory reset 3x in twrp. I read somewhere its safer to wipe like this or use super wipe scripts or w.e
I am running the latest rasbeanjelly with latest rasbean gapps and latest lean kernel. I haven't had any resets and haven't tweak anything. May I also add that when I do get errors with roms normally when I flash extra mods I always go back to recovery and hit fix permissions. Idk why but it does solve some issues.
Good luck

lol. Ya I've been flashing roms for like a year and it's only recently these issues are popping up. I do pretty much what everyone does - wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps and flash kernel. I never use mods so nothing to worry about there.
Try flashing rom and gapps only without a custom kernel.
If you've fully formatted your drive, have updated recovery, and are positive you have good downloads then your problem is most likely hardware related
Try the kernel cleaner script before flashing/changing between kernels.
It's a cwm flashable .zip.
Alright will do as suggested
How about fastboot flashing the stock rom's .img-es? (Galaxy Nexus ToolKit is the easiest way to do it)

Alright so it seems like the rom HumberOS with built in kernel did the job. Been using the phone for about 4 hours non stop and no freezes or reboots so far. Finally something stable for my phone! Thanks for the help everyone!
update: After a day without any hiccups on the humber os rom, my phone finally froze and rebooted. Since I was using cwm, I decided to see if twrp would solve the problem. I restored my phone to stock and started from scratch by installing twrp. Then I decided to give PA a try and to my surprise no reboots or freezes at all but will have to wait a day to confirm.

You did restore the factory images by running the update script included in the package right? This will make sure all data is up to date.. Fastboot erase all partitions first as well..

yup did all that and everything seems to be going fine so far
So... what would be causing the problem you think?
You installed TWRP and PA both at the same as I can read in the previous posts?
So that way we will never know if it's a recovery problem, or ROM problem...
Well, as long as your device doesn't freeze and/or reboot we should be happy I guess.

Flashing Death Star-force Close!

I am hoping someone can help me ASAP as I am about to go out of town. I was trying flash Death Star V 3.5 and V3.6. I was previously using Wicked. I did a full wipe then flashed V 3.5, then the V3.6 update, and also flashed Ktoonz kernel. It is booting up fine but it force closes on the 1st settings screen and I cannot get past the menu. I have tried doing it 3 different times and also tried without flashing the kernel just in case that was the problem but nothing helps. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.

Don't flash Ktoonz. Just flash the ROM and the update. Im not having any problems with Death Star.

Flash the 3.5 ROM first, set up, then flash the 3.6 afterwards. That's how I fixed it, and I'm loving this ROM. Screen off plus v6 = .08 battery loss an hour!

Boots once...won't reboot sucessfully

So I installed Skynote 4.3 Edition RC8-1 Base followed all instructions... phone starts up fine first time but once I reboot to install the update to V8.2 it just sits at the GN 2 Logo the only way to get it to fully reboot is to do a complete re-wipe and flash again. What am I doing wrong? It does not do this with any other ROM. Phone is the AT&T GN 2. PLEASE HELP ME!
Sounds like user error sorry to say.
Imho
I haven't seen or heard anything like this in that thread.:what:
And I've been there since it started...
START over full wipe of everything 3x including INTERNAL storage...
Flash Rom 8.1 base let it sit for 10 minutes. Set it up play store etc.
TRY and reboot to recovery. Wipe C/D cache, flash update 8.2 reboot.
Let it sit again for like 5 mins. Then flash what ever add on's you'll like to add in...

Im having this same issue. Ive also had this issue with another rom. Ive done every type of wipe available and it will boot once, but then on reboot it bootloops. Ive tried with and without airview.
Its nice to know I'm not the only one. I reflashed CleanROM 5.0 and no problems.
