Has anyone has a similar problem to this or any ideas how to troubleshoot?
I've had my lovely 1X since launch. Soon after I rooted her and then had her run CM nightlies until the past week when I decided I wanted to revert to stock for a while
This went swimmingly; I locked, installed the RUU then a slew of updates and last night the phone was happy, stable, making and receiving calls. I plugged her in as normal before I went to bed.
Got up today, unplugged her and almost immediately she crashes and reboots. Continually getting to the first screen, able to unlock sometimes and then goes black and reboots or just freezes and needs resetting.
So I figure, it's software, right?
I unlock her bootloader again, flash CWR 5.8.4.0 again, flash the boot.img from this JB rom and then the rom itself, then 4.2 gapps.
Everything fine. While plugged in.
Unplug; reboot cycle again
Not entirely sure what to do with her now other than try a bunch of other roms. A problem that's consistent across roms/recoveries/boot images, locked and unlocked though...
Anyone have any ideas, please?
I suppose you did a full wipe every time you changed the ROM? Don't be so sure it's only software... Could be a hardware, too.

I did wipe of course.
And if it happens across roms, lock/unlock etc. I probably IS hardware. Just want to be as sure as possible.

I have been using the Energy Leo Rom’s since September updating whenever I new rom is released, everything has always been fine with them and I absolutely love them. Me and my fiancée both use them, but lately my phone has been restarting over and over and will not boot, it gets to you boot up splash screen and restarts. When this began to happen I wasn’t even using my phone it was recharging as I was updating my computer to Windows 7, anyway I am able to revert back to T-mo’s stock rom and everything works, but whenever I go back to any none stock rom, even earlier ones it keeps doing the reboot thing, our second TP2 is fine. I have done research and haven’t found much I have ran Mtty at least a dozen times, even upgraded my radio, and nothing works but the stock rom, I have cleared storage both the software route, and the power, talk and end button route. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just can’t handle this stock rom.

Are you able to re-do the Hard spl?
Yes, I have redone it and nothing changed, it goes through the initial TP2 screen showing the radio and other info in red on the bottom, but as soon as it goes to set up the rom is when it restarts. Whats weird is it is never at the exact same time, sometimes will be a second, other up to five seconds.

I know this sounds obvious and dont take it the wrong way but are you sure that the rom you are trying to flash as been unzipped properly and is named correctly. Try re-downloading a fresh rom and unzip it and rename it Rhodimg.nbh and put it on the root of your Sd card and try flashing it from the card. Also is the battery charged?
I am certain that the roms that I have been using are unzipped and named properly, there was actually a flahed rom on this phone that was workig fine until it started resetting with the rom on it, I wasn't updating or anything when it started to act up. Plus I use the same roms on a second TP2 which are working fine. I did try now to flash from my SD card, Hard SPL said it installed correctly but when I rebooted phone its doing the restart thing over and over still. Battery has been at 100% or close to for all flashes.
So I am having a really strange problem recently with my phone, was wondering if I should unroot and return it or if it is something I am doing wrong. Basically what it boils down to is if I power my phone off from the menu or pull the battery, etc. upon powering back up it just Hangs on the HTC Evo 4G white splash screen indefinitely. I have let it sit as long as 15 mins without booting before, having seen this before in the past I know not to panic now but I just reboot into Recovery and wipe my cache and dalvik cache every time I reboot and my phone reboots back into sense in no time at all.
I know this is not normal, is there something I can do to troubleshoot this problem or is this is a sign of hardware failure?

I've never seen that before. Interesting. What rom are you currently using? Do you have an unusually large amount of apps installed? The first thing I would do, is make a nandroid backup of your current setup, and then do a full wipe and flash a format all.zip, then reflash a different rom. Or just simply restore a nandroid of a known good setup, and see if the problem persists. If it stops, I'd say it was something specific to the rom/kernel/setup that you were running before. If it continues happening on a clean install of a different rom, then I'd probably unroot, restore to stock, and then see if the problem continues. If it does, take it to Sprint. If it stops, and everything is fine, re root it and start over. That's just what I would do, but I've never been presented with an issue such as that.
I appreciate the advice, I'm running Sprint Lovers right now been running it for a few months now, I don't have an unusual amount of apps installed but I did notice that the problem seemed to start occuring when I changed the Kernel. I will try your advice and see if that fixes the problem. I've been wanting an excuse to try the new Gingersense rom anyways.

If it started happening right after you swapped out the kernel, that could be the culprit. If you want to try the gingersense rom, I'll all for it, and will tell ya that they ran super incredibly smooth for a factory rom. However, if you don't feel like changing roms just yet, maybe try a different kernel. I'd be suspect of that, if the problem started shortly after changing to a different kernel. I say try out a gingersense rom, you shouldn't be disappointed (unless your phone still hangs at the splash screen upon reboot, lol).
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!

Hi All, I come begging for help after exhausting all of my options and searches for similar issues.
I have a CDMA Galaxy Nexus Stock 4.0.2 but rooted (I installed CWM).
I woke up to my phone stuck in the boot loading screen; it just kept looping over and over. I shut off the phone restarted it and the phone was practically unuseable, it ran very very slow. Now I haven't done anything recently or installed any apps. The only app I installed was a modified MMS app (one of the Inverted Black ones), but that was 2 weeks ago and everything was running fine since then. (However since I'm not on a deodexed Rom, I knew there could be issues).
Well I of course switched back to the stock MMS app that I had manually backed up and that did not help. Now my phone would load, it would get to my homescreen, but it would then say something along, "service is not working, wait, close, or ok?" I'd hit wait and within 2 minutes my phone would automatically reboot and then go into a a sort-of bootloop (it would just show the boot.img and loop).
I then tried to restore two Nandroid back-ups (which were basically bone stock and made months ago) and both worked, except it would say secure.img not found or something like that. I was still able to boot up and use these back ups, but then within 5 minutes I would get the same error and then the phone would reboot.
After retrying them I decided to to just go bone stock and wipe and do a factory reset. This worked and everything seemed fine until I went to turn on wi-fi.
I would wait for wi-fi to turn on and eventually it would just quit and then reboot the phone. I did this 3 times in a row to confirm that it was indeed wi-fi causing these rebooting issues.
Now here's the thing, right now my phone is working as I have purposely tried not to touch the wi-fi (I need to use my phone) . Data, voice, mms/sms all work. But I literally have no idea why wi-fi would be causing my OS to go crazy?
My last resort is to flash the stock toro.img but I was hoping you guys could help me before I get to that point.
As of right now even though I did a data wipe/factory restore my phone is still rooted (rooted apps all work) and my bootloader is still unlocked. (I renamed the secure.bootloader file as per the instructions when using fastboot to load CWM).
Please help me troubleshoot this, Thanks guys.
I don't know if you have tried but maybe try flashing a rom after a data wipe

I'm thinking about doing this as well since I will probably have to flash back to stock. I just want to make sure I can get back to stock since I am still covered by warranty and insurance (assuming they do not check to see if my phone has an unlocked bootloader).

Well you can always relock the bootloader. I doubt you will have to go back to stock though
So I followed the instructions here: http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-unlock-bootloader-on-galaxy-note-4/
Everything was great at first, but it slowly degraded. At first it was only occasional hangs, then it got worse and worse. I reinstalled with the retail cpa1 5.1.1 install, which removed root, and again everything was fine for a bit, then it got worse again. I'm on call for work and away from my computer for the day so I let it take the 6.0.1 OTA hoping it would fix the freezing problems, but nothing has changed.
What can I do differently to fix these freezing problems? I completely redid the instructions on that website hoping it would fix the issues, but the same thing happened again. Amazingly fast at first, then slowly degrading into frequent hanging or freezing. Thanks!

go install a custom rom like jasmineROM or EmotionOS, straight up stock can sometimes be unstable when you are rooted.

I can't even get it stable on full stock. I Odin'd in the Full Firmware for CPF3 in this thread: [Firmware] [Official] Firmware / Kernel / Modem / Recovery [N910VVRU2CPF3] by hsbadr which overwrote TWRP and seemingly removed all traces of rooting, yet the instability is still there.
It occasionally is giving me the error "System process stopped", occasionally is rebooting entirely, there have been a few times where it wouldn't boot up at all. I had to pull the battery and leave it out for 5-10 minutes to get it to boot. I'm running out of ideas on what to flash over to fix it. Is it possible that the Kernel I installed while rooted is causing problems? The full firmware for CPF3 should have overwritten it, correct?

I've had some issues myself. I originally used paul pizz PJ2, which is an awesome rom. Gives you stability of stock, but feel of custom. I then went to PL1 and EmotionOS. After a few days, I noticed, reduced connectivity, camera wouldn't focus, and button reassignments. So, I just wiped cache and Dalvik, stuck in boot loop. I downloaded the newest EmotionOS. Wiped everything, installed it. boot loop. So I did a another wipe and installed the deodexed Ricks ROM V2. So far so good, but it has only been a day. If you do a full retail firmware flash, that should fix your issues. If you did a full firmware, then yes, it would be overwritten. Try going back to 5.1.1 PA1 full firmware flash. Then you could allow the phone to take the OTA if you wish. But, that should fix the issue. If not let me know. And I will keep you informed of the new rom. Also, if you have a card reader, check your sd. Take anything that you want off of it, and wipe it as well. These Notes are finicky.

So I did actually go back to stock 5.1.1 and successfully take the 6.0.1 OTA, the issue didn't resolve. At that point I flashed the full stock CPF3, still no changes.
A new thing has popped up too. When I try to boot into recovery it says it's installing an update, then after about 5 minutes it goes to a black screen and nothing happens. I end up having to pull the battery to restart it. Discovered that when I tried to go clear all the caches and such before flashing CPF3, and it is still doing the same thing after flashing CPF3. I thought that by flashing the full firmware for CPF3 it would solve that.

Yep it did. So I think I've actually fixed it now. I thought that flashing the full firmware would also flash the boot loader and modem, but I Odin'd both of those in and so far so good! It did the whole updating thing again just like before this time, but when it was done it actually loaded up recovery like it was supposed to. So at that point I wiped the cache, factory reset, then used Odin to flash in the boot loader and modem for CPF3 that I found in that thread.
I've been using my phone and installing things for a couple hours now and haven't had a single hang. Before I did this, it would hang very quickly. Maybe I'll get brave and try rooting and whatnot again later, but for now I'm just going to back off for a bit. Thanks for the help!
And so much for that. It was more stable than it had been in ages so I started installing all my apps and whatnot, now it's just as unstable as it used to be, just took a couple days to happen. I'm running out of ideas
