S3 boot issues!! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok so my gs3 is having a few issues with the new 4.3 custom roms coming out nowadays...
Basicly after flashing (for instance) Slim bean 4.3 stable build 1, or the new 4.3 Liquid Smooth 2.10 the problems start.
But not right away see on the inital install and system reboot the phone boots PERFECTLY, its when i turn off my phone or it dies.
Thats when the phone starts to hang, either on the samasung logo for Liquid Sooth, or it'll hang on SLIM for the Slim bean rom
I am not new to Flashing there just something im over looking and i hope somone has the answer
thanks in advance

The usuall method, i never dirty flash NEVER
full wipe
factory reset
fix permissions
install rom install gapps

Why do you fix permissions after you wipe and before you flash? There are no permissions to fix at that point.

Calm down man, I was just asking. I've never seen anyone else do that step before so I thought maybe your issues stems from there.

Maybe it's the incorrect gapps.

nahh i make sure to get gapps with every specific rom sometimes even downloading gapps twice everything when it come to gapps and rom setup is correct remebber i been rooting for long time now

Could be some kind of hardware failure as well. Have you flashed a stock rom to see if it still does it?

Hi folks, is anyone having issues getting this rom to start? I get stuck on the booting "google" icon with moving gears animation. Let it sit for 18 minutes before pulling battery. Below is how I installed:
1. Factory reset.
2. Wiped cache.
3. Wipe dalvik.
4. Ran dark wipe.
5. Ran kernel cleanser
6. Installed this rom's latest release.
I do the above steps for all rom's I've tried and never an issue with booting.
Any suggestions? In meantime, gonna try again. Thanks

Final update. Went back to non-Touch recovery and now rom loads no problem. All is well.
Just started this whole rooting thing a few days ago but I've found that using Darkside Super Wipe is pretty useful thing to use before flashing a rom. Here's the link for the wipe and more info about it:

A simple answer without knowing what you are able to deal with:
Go with RC8 and flash the theme here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568128
It will be close to perfect...
BTW: you need to go through the development topic to see all the problems. I think nobody would want to do this for you
Sorry for the possibly-newb question, but does the "Customizable Hardware Keys" mention in the OP mean that I can change my stupid search button into a multitasking one?!?! That would be AMAZING!

I want to flash the new ROM (RC10) how is it in your opinion. For example the cons and pros
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA
RC9
I know it says that RC 9 is experimental, but according to the bug list it doesn't seem so bad. Anybody have any personal experience with it?
For those wondering about the status of all the experimental versions, I will give you a quick rundown of my personal experience with them as far as ability as a DD is concerned.
RC 8: Good DD after inputting APN settings, didnt come across any errors, everything seems to work, except for receiving mms messages, a few others reported the same problem.
RC 9: I personally never had in call audio working, which was reported by others as well, as a result I reverted back to RC 8.
RC 10: Still early in its development, was released early mainly so RaverX3X could get some logcats on things he could not personally test. audio is not working, data (calling, texting, etc) is not working. Unless your looking to help RaverX3X out with logcats and such i would stick to RC 8 or RC 7 as your DD
RaverX3X or anyone else feel free to add or correct me if I'm wrong or missed something.
Edit: Also I installed all roms with non-touch CWM with no problems.

Something tells me this simply means you can turn on the on screen hardware keys, similar to what the Galaxy Nexus has. I have yet to figure out what value this is for a device with these very same keys in hardware already, but some people find it cool. I haven't seen a mod that will allow me to reassign my hardware keys to do something else, but I can hardly claim to have seen them all.

Darn, this makes sense. HOWEVER, if Raver or any other developer wanted to allow us to reassign the hardware keys, that would be much appreciated and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to appreciate this, as multitasking takes a little longer than it should. Thanks either way though!

I was wondering if any of the builds have the people.apk? I like that way better than the regular contact app. I saw in the screen shots that it did have the people.apk but when I downloaded and flashed it did not have it. Thanks in advance.
Hey I was wondering, I just flashed the ChicagoROM. I love it, its very smooth. I have seen there is a link for the Google play store. Sorry i'm to new to post it, I tried. But I heard you just flash this like a ROM, but do you flash on top of the current ROM? I wouldn't think you wipe it before. Is this method the same for the Beats Audio upgrade?
so u know i got 2 people to pm me so ill be sending them copies of a un released build and work with them in getting the last issue fixed once done ill re open the dev thread.
I would strongly recommend reverting to 5.0.2.7 (regular clockwork recovery).
My T989 would not start (on a different ROM) when flash with touch, but 5.0.2.7 worked like a charm.
just a heads up a good friend of mine and decent dev will be takeing over and updateing the project for me.. Sence i just dont have time.. I giving him the sgs2 atm to help finish it i know him in rl so expect updates.
sorry about all the delays and not having time... Rl kicked my arse
setting him up with the latest changes so he can go from there.

Yes, you just go into CWM and choose insttall zip from sdcard. after flashing i reccomend using darkside cache wipe. You can find the download link in the dArkside evolution 3 thread

What the hell is wrong with my phone

Can someone tell me if this is a software or hardware issue. I've been rooted for quite a while btw, not a noob. Since last night the phone will randomly reboots itself after a few minutes of turning on. I can't get it to stay on for an extended period of time without rebooting. Also, if I turn it off, it turns itself back on. During the moments it is on, if I press the lock button nothing happens. The screen doesn't turn off. The only way I keep it off is by pulling the battery. You'd think itd have to do with the ROM, but I've been on the 7/13 build of AOKP since it came out, so almost a month now. This issue didn't arise until yesterday, also I'm not underclocking/undervolting. It's using the default TWRP recovery that came with it. So, is it a hardware issue? Should I take it in for replacement??
Hmmm If I was you I'd definitely try another rom or something . Maybe back up what you have and try a simple One click sfhub package to see if the problem still exists... Weird stuff happens some times
And if it happens on another rom/one click, then yeah its safe to say to take it in to Sprint

I've had that sort of thing happen when I flashed a new ROM and the download was corrupted... flashed it again and the same thing happened.. I had to re-download the file and then flash and all was good. I'd guess it was a software issue.. I'd wipe everything, download a new ROM (check the md5) and flash all new stuff..
I had the same issue on milestone 6. Went stock for a few days,then to another build and I have been OK.Remember all that glitters isn't gold.Sometimes "unofficial" builds me just that.Not 100% ready.
That's a Rom issue not hardware, oh that's right your on ics, no wonder. Gingerbread will fix that in a jiffy.

I've been on the ROM for almost a month now and this issue didn't surface until today? I don't think it has to do with the ROM per se. Luckily for whatever reason it stopped, but I'm still curious as to what caused it in the first place should it ever happen again.
Turning itself on sounds like your button is stuck. I know of no ROM that can boot your phone when powered off.
Aokp aosp builds are extremely different that TW based roms.I'm way to sick and tired to fully explain.Please know that yes bugs and issues can still arise after some time.Mainly from the complex nature of coding and modifying. Be happy your phone is still working. Customizing a build with all those feature is nice but sometimes it's not worth it

[Q] primoc cdma kernel crash (all kernels)

RESOLVED
I ran the RUU for my phone, re-ran the update and am stable on 1.08.652.11 710RD
Original post:
I'm getting a consistent kernel crash on all kernels, stock, etc. after the latest HTC update for sprint-vm cdma. Basically, I can get any rom to boot, after about 10-30 seconds, kernel crashes causing the phone to reboot.
I've attached the dmsg log that contains the crash information.
I'm not sure what I can do to fix this issue, as it appears to be a firmware problem. Thoughts?

Stock kernel and all custom roms, ICS and JB have the same exact result. This is why I'm suspicious that this was a bad firmware update. I've read several posts about spontaneous reboots, but most people don't know about dmesg, so I don't have anything to compare to.

Yes, this is the same behaviour. I'm not sure if you're able to dump the dmsg stuff from adb, but certainly same crash. Typically the phone network status shows a little x, right before the reboot. But the lagginess starts happening when the 5 second kernel reboot is issued.
I've tried to change to airplane mode, disable sdcard and everything else I can think of, still crashing and I'm not able to make much of the logging info
When you applied the OTA were you completely back to stock. Like locked bootloader and stock recovery?

Yes, completely back to stock. Unfortunately, I didn't create a backup of the stock image that booted after the OTA update was applied I just restored pre-OTA rom, cwm recovery and boot.img. Everything appeared to be working fine after the update on the stock ROM. However, I didn't leave it on long enough to confirm if the crash issue existed then. Just checked the version info to confirm the update had been applied and rebooted.
UPDATE
I'm going to go through the process again with the RUU and see if I can boot something stable.

Confirmed RUU -> Update worked the second time. This is probably the safest method. This appeared to work initially, but clearly did not. Thanks for all the feedback!
I can't get any non-stock rom to boot after applying the OTA update. Well ok it boots but loops after about 10-15 seconds.
I have to RUU it and not apply the update to get any non-stock rom to work.

I applied the OTA update. Only the stock kernel (after update) will boot now. Any non-stock kernel crashes - always seems the last line is rmt_storage, which the IPC to shared memory of the boot loader I believe.

Yes it's possible that you got one with the update already on it however the problem you are having is completely different than the problem we're describing in this thread and could be caused by many other things - not necessarily the OTA update.
Seems a bit off topic for this thread...
More of the rebooting problem
I have 2 phones one with this problem, the other without it. My friend got one of these phones after i installed jelly bean on mine. He had it long enough to have updated the firmware using the stock image. I made a backup of the stock image, but it seems to have been corrupted (zero byte .zip file). I need to get the phone working (stock or updated, at this point there is no preference so long as it works)
In the bootloader, the radio version of the crashing one is:
1.00.00.0928
The working one is:
1.00.00.0521_2
As far I can tell, this is the only difference. I Used the same SD card and the same procedure for wipe/installing the OS with the same files.
Have you found a solution to this? If so, can you point me to the downloads/instructions for how to fix it?
Looking for help

Apps (especially messaging) keep crashing!

This has been happening for a week or so now and I can't seem to work out why! It seems random that when I open the messaging app it just crashes, then sometimes that seems to cause a chain reaction and everything starts crashing meaning I have to reset it with the power button. The problem tends to persist unless I power down, wait and turn the phone back on. I didn't have the problem on the rom for a long time (Jellybean 4.1.2 for Endeavoru AOSP Build [JZO54K]) it just seemingly started happening at random. I tried a new rom with a new boot.img (aokp_endeavoru-ICJ-V3.4) which seemed to hold the problem off for a few hours but now its started on that one! I've also ruled out any apps because I made sure I didn't restore anything from my gmail account.
Any ideas?

I need more info. Did you do a clean install;wipe data, cache, and dalvik? Is the speaker working for other apps?What, if any, mods did you flash after initial rom flash. I haven't had this problem on this rom, but all phones are different it seems. So I need as much info as possible.

Yes, clean install;wipe data, cache, and dalvik no mods or tweaks-
The speaker is fine, I can hear them no problem. The microphone when the phone is on speaker phone does not work however. People say they can barely hear me at all and I've tried calling myself and can confirm that it sounds very low and crackly. When I reinstall a TW rom..it works flawlessly.
Does it have anything to do going from JB to Slim? When I reinstall JB rom i use the 2x wipe. I ran out of things to try so I went back to TW but would rather be on slim + zap kernal

I would try another clean install, wipe data,cache,dalvik,like three times.Just to make sure nothing is left behind and flash rom from the eL29 direct boot kernel. I have seen this issue in other roms,now that I did a little research,and it seems phone specific. I myself have never had a mic problem. I will keep looking, so keep an eye on this thread. Also, did you go to JB correctly. Using the one - click full restore....this partitions you're phone correctly. Could have nothing to do with you're problem,but wanted to ask..I think the full restore is the one you want, just grab the one that wipes you're internal memory. Yep....back-up time.

My first flash since I bought it was a one click, however, I went to other TW roms and used the 2x wipe zip since then. When I went to slim ( and even black bean ) and I used the el29 direct boot. I noticed it happens only on AOSP roms..maybe it is just my device.

Yep, it could be you're device. I'll keep looking and hit you up if I find anything. But this phone is wonky that way. I can't run Dirty Unicorn. It flashes fine and runs great, for about a day. Then the grimlin's come out. Still trying to figure that one out... Hey, if you like slim bean. You'll love Dirty Unicorn.. Give it a go. I would run it, but slim just flies on my phone. Sorry I couldn't be more help... And Im not sure if you uderstood what I meant by one-click. There is a one - click that you need to flash before the first time you go to JB from ICS... It partions you're phone correctly.

Isn't dirty unicorn AOSP? All AOSP roms have had this same problem for me
Can you link that one - click? I thought you ment the one click installers for like gb08 or w/o.. The only thing I've ever used that handled partitions is the 2x JB data eraser that Tough by S4 suggests

When I first went from ics to JB I used a one click install FULL WIPE (GB10 I think it was at the time) version ( which is what this post tells you to do) so yes I have done this step when I went from ICS to JB. Besides, I'm sure if I didn't do it correctly then any version of JB would not work on my phone and it does
Other then using a ics modem, Is there any special step ( not already mentioned ) to go back to AOSP from JB?

Ok...just wanted to make sure...good going..and yes they will work,but you'll run into issues down the line. Thats why I was so persistent. Well, I guess I'm out of ideas,but I'll keep looking...Sorry. If you're staying with tw. I always thought jellyverse was awesome and there is a trial/beta version 4 out for it.Good Luck..
honestly, I'm more interested in the LZ kernal then anything else and I'm pretty sure thats AOSP only.. oh well

yep aosp only.. but I just had an idea.. What modem do you use with aosp. Im on fl24.. I don't know how it would matter, but thats all I got...lol. Sometimes these roms can be wonky, case in point. When I first flashed slim build 7 I couldn't get my hotspot to work. I jumped back to build 6 and was fine. After a couple days I gave 7 another try and now it works....Both times I did the exact samething to flash...gremlins...lol.

Yep...if I've learned one thing on XDA, its that one person's fix might not work for you and another that does won't work for them...I think thats why I'm such a believer in the search button..
I'm having gps issues here!! I clean flashed everything. I flashed to stock touchwiz got a gps fix then flashed back to slim build 7, and gps was working fine then it's stops working again. I need a fix cause gps is very important with my job. Ty

Do you have any tweaks flashed. I seen where nos tweaks(some of them)can mess with gps. Read through this post,looks like a promising fix.I dont no of any that work by experience because I always have had good luck with gps.The one to read is post 96. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853671&page=10
