Hello everyone, just got a quick question to ask.
I was running CM10 stable and had a problem with my SD card a while back (which I never figured out), so I decided to preform a clean wipe of CM10.0 and a stock rom as a troubleshooting method.
I finally stuck back with CM10.0 and I've been rocking that install for some time, but have a problem. Every fifteen minutes or so the phone's cell connection would drop completely then pick back up a min or so later. It's very temperamental and I have no idea what was causing it. It never inhibited the utility of the phone, so I just dealt with it.
Today I flashed a clean install of Paranoid Android, gs2usr's unofficial version, and it still has the same issue.
I've flash different modems and the issue still remains, but I have no idea where to troubleshoot beyond that.
Any ideas guys?
|EDIT| Solution was taking it back to stock by flashing with Odin then re-rooting and flashing CM10 stable. No issues so far!

I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 stable and every time I try to flash it the rom will at some point within the first 30 minutes of using it reboot. After that point it will start sporadicly rebooting. I've tried everything from flashing the stock rom and flashing back to even unrooting it and rerooting it but nothing has worked. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the rom itself though as I had these same problems running myn's twopointtwo rls4. The odd thing is though that when I run the most recent rooted stock rom I haven't seemed to have these problems. I could be mistaken about the stock one though because I haven't run it for very long. I'm going to try a few things with cyanogen and if I keep having problems I'll probably flash the stock one and see if they go away. But has anybody else had this problem and if so do they know how to fix it?
edit: turns out my battery has some sort of short in it because I replaced it with my spare and haven't had any problems.
Ladies and gents.
First, I realize Saturday is probably not the best day to have an issue, so I appreciate any input I can get.
First, I'm running a rooted (toast method) evo, currently on CM7.
For the longest time, I didn't change roms, and then updated to CM7 a couple of months ago (iirc).
Shortly thereafter, I began experiencing random reboots, my phone getting extremely hot, and sitting through bootloops upon startup.
After upgrading my radio, nothing was solved. I downloaded another CM7 clean and flashed it. Same issues.
I download a Fresh Rom, and was unable to even flash it after wiping continuously.
I nanroided back to my CM7, of course with the same instability issues.
Then I nandroided back to the ROM (damage control, iirc) I had (that was perfectly stable at the time for nearly 1 year) before CM7, and I barely got it booted all the way through before it reset and started looping.
I don't know if it's a hardware issue or a software issue, but I can't flash another ROM to find out.
I was going to unroot today and take it down to Sprint. Of course, I can't get the dadgum thing to restart in a stable manner, so I was going to move the PC36IMG file to my SD card via ClockwordMod recovery.
I get in to the bootloader and choose recovery. My phone resets like normal before entering recovery, except now it enters a bootloop.
Pulled the battery, tried again. Same result.
So if you have any thoughts on any of the issues above (in particular the CM7 stability issues or the recovery issue) I'd love to hear them.

Try running a RUU from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
[Hint, don't run 4.24.651.1 or you'll lose root ]
Since you rooted using Toast's method, I doubt you ever ran unrevoked forever. So run the 3.70 RUU or lower. If you can get into recovery, I'd flash unrevoked forever just to be safe.
Unfortunately your issue sounds like a mixture of problems I've seen others have. If this is the case, worst case scenario is that you'll never be able to boot your phone again if the issues continue... you'll constantly loop regardless of running RUUs, etc. Best case scenario is that you'll always have the bootlooping/overheating issue and eventually have to get a replacement.
Again, these best/worse case scenarios are based on what I've seen others experience. Hopefully the RUU will fix your problems.
Good luck!

Hello everyone,
I need some immediate help please. I flashed GalaxyMod TouchWiz ROM (coming from Vanilla RootBox). I flashed because I was looking for a more stable ROM and started having the following issue:
After the flash I only get 3G for roughly 5-10 minutes. After about 5-10 minutes LTE finally activates. This persists through ROM flashes. This happens after every reboot and after toggling airplane mode.
I have since flashed Task650's AOKP and CM10.1 and the above issue is still present. I have checked my APN settings, which are on PTA. I also checked my preferred network and this is where I noticed an oddity. It is stuck on WCDMA preferred for the first 5-10 minutes and then finally changes by itself to LTE / GSM/WCDMA.
Steps I've taken so far:
1.) Flashed the LTE fix (while still on GalaxyMod ROM) which was provided in the GalaxyMod thread. This made no affect on the issue at all.
2.) Flashed new modems, no affect at all.
3.) Wiped Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System, Internal Memory and Data, reflashed a new ROM, no affect.
I never had any delay in connecting to LTE prior to flashing GalaxyMod, and now I get it on every ROM I flash thereafter.
What can be causing this? I am thinking the only thing I can do is Triangle Away, ODIN back to Stock and send it to Samsung.
If you have any suggestions at all, please let me know. I am desperate to get this working.
At the time of this post I'm running TWRP 2.4.1.0, CM10.1 and the packaged CM Kernel that comes with the ROM.

Running galaxymod right now and in DFW area with great LTE coverage and never had the issues you had or any for that matter. Somehow in the flashing, I'm going to get real technical here right now , something got borked that isn't affected by flashing a new ROM. We could give to several things to try but honestly flashing back to factory out of the box and starting from there is the only fail safe way to do it. probably faster too. That's I would do

Thanks for the reply. I just downloaded root-injected stock and am flashing as we speak. If this doesn't work, I'm going to flash back to bone-stock and see how that goes. I'll report back and let everyone know =)

Did you check to see if your IMEI is missing?
I had the same issue on GalaxyMod. I had to do a clean install of the ROM, apply KT's kernel, and apply the LTE fix BEFORE I rebooted. I could not tell from your post if you did a clean install of GalaxyMod. Then I checked my IMEI and it was missing, so I performed the fix found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 and repeated the steps above. Worked for me as I get LTE speeds now on GalaxyMod.

I'm getting LTE speeds, problem is after toggling airplane mode or rebooting the phone it takes up to 10 minutes for LTE to activate. I fresh installed GalaxyMod, wiped everything possible in the wipe menu of TWRP with the exception of external SD.
I also applied the LTE fix before I booted GalaxyMod, but I did not flash KT747. I prefer to not flash that kernel because it has the updated BT/WIFI drivers and had a warning that I would need to back those drivers up if I ever wished to revert. I don't really feel like going through all of that lol.
Solved. ODIN'd back to stock =) Thanks hednik!

Glad it worked.... these phones are almost fool proof as you can start with a clean slate if all else fails. Glad it worked
IMEI was still intact ?

Yupp I haven't yet lost my IMEI since I got the phone back in July. Guess I'm lucky so far, see posts all the time where people lose it, and I'm a flashaholic lol.

Ok, I'm at a total loss. For some reason my gnex running liquidsmooth started rebooting randomly today. I tried wiping cache/dalvik and that didn't work, so I did a factory reset. That also didn't help, as soon I was asked to choose a wifi network the phone froze and rebooted. So I tried restoring to a previous working version of liquid. I still had the same problem. It rebooted every 5 minutes! Then, I tried wiping everything and installing a fresh copy of liquid,but I still couldn't get past choosing my wifi network w/o a reboot. So I finally tried restoring to a really old aokp backup and it STILL is rebooting. what the heck is going on? Can anybody give me any help? Is this a hardware issue? I've also tried two different batteries by the way.
Some more info. It seems to be tied to notifications. I got it running on the AOKP rom on airplane mod, but when i received a text from my wife it rebooted 3 times. I only got it to stop by putting it back into airplane mod. Could it be a radio issue? I'll try flashing some.
why dont you flash back to stock and see if that works fine. that will tell you everything.

Good point. I'll probably try flashing muzzy's rom really quick, since it's supposed to be so stable to see if that does the trick. If not I'll try going back to stock. I've never had to go back to stock with this phone, so I wouldn't mind avoiding it if I can, but anything is worth a shot at this point.
I really just need to nurse it along until the VZW one or Moto X come out. I'm holding out for those at this point.
I wouldn't recommend flashing another custom ROM. You should flash the factory images.
Is there anybody out there that can help?
I've had a SGN for over two years and it seems like I have always had problems with it. I've been through mulitple SIMS, devices, ROMS, and various apps. Most recently, I had to get a new device. It took several steps of troubleshooting, but I finally rooted the phone. Got Rootchecker Pro and was able to confirm with no errors. For a while now, when I wipe, CWM skips over Android_Secure because it can't be found. About a month, after rooting the phone, I flashed the CRDroid (based on Cyanogenmod) ROM. It was then that I would get bootloops after checking on the Mobile Networks setting. It didn't always do it right away. When it didn't restart immediately, I wouldn't be able to make phone calls. Shortly after, I went through the Developer Options and updated to CM 10.2. The Mobile Network Bootloops stopped and I thought everything was great. But, there has been about three times that the phone will randomly restart and go into a bootloop at the CM splash screen. It's happened a couple times randomly and yesterday after taking about 45 pictures over a 45-minute span.
Luckily, I've been much better about making Nandroid backups and it hasn't been a big deal to restore. You can imagine, though that it is incredibly annoying and critical sometimes. I've been trying to rack my brain about what is consistent about the bootloops and can't figure it out.
It's a Toro with CM 10.2 on 4.3 Android. I flashed Golden Kernel and PA 4.0 GAPPS.
I would love to see what everybody thinks the problem could be. Thanks again.
