[Q] CM7 Random Reboot and RE Setup Issue

Hi,
I am having a really odd and very frustrating issue with the latest CM7 Stable Build on my device.
I have been using the latest stable since its release back in November.
I ensured a clean wipe and install of CM 7.1.0.1 and setup my phone accordingly and Nandroid Back Up around a Week later as the Device was behaving as intended.
Sadly, I am now plagued with the following issue which occurs without any common trigger....
I will be using the device which will be behaving normally and it will suddenly, normally when screen is off... reboot and enter a Boot Loop (CM7 Robot will either be frozen solid or will keep rebooting to CM7 Robot) which seems to continue until a battery pull.
I will then restart the device and it sometimes boots straight away though sometimes hangs for a while. Once booted it boot to the 'Setup your device' Screen, from which point onwards you are required to Re-Enter your Logins for Google and such like. All settings and sync profiles are normally missing/deleted so requires setting up of all apps requiring logins etc.
As you can imagine, the above is quite an inconvenient as it normally happens when I actually need to use the device
I have tried reinstalling a clean CM7 over the top as well as wiping and formatting the SD card.
Neither seem to have solved the issue.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
It is also worth noting that while the device will charge off USB, it will not allow usb tethering or any form of USB Mounting etc.
Cheers
Jason

cm7 issues.
sounds like your in quite a pickle my friend.
i used to get your reboot issues (the bootloops) but that was because my phone was overclocked to over 700. i never got the setup device screen though.
when you say youve tried a clean install over cm7 have you factory reset the device as well as deleteing the dalvik cache??
also my sound stupid but have you tried your backup to see if it starts again??
it sounds like something has became quite corrupted.
have you installed any new apps recently or changed anything in the system files of the phone?
also when you have to go through the set up are all your apps still there afterwards? And when you first flashed it did the tethering work at all?

Yup and while it does restore to a point where I can use my phone quite quickly after however I'm very cautious after - typically it happens a couple of weeks later

No real new recent apps installed and no mods to the system files that I can recall.

All my apps are still installed but many apps require re-setup or accounts for sync require re-adding. Phonebook requires import of contacts however messages remain in place.
I can't recall I think it did or at least USB-Storage did

Do you have a SD ext partition?
I ask because I had similar problems (randomly losing data) with an ext 4 partition, repartitioning my card using ext 3 solved it, also put your dalvik cache and data back into phone memory if it isn't already as that can also cause instability.

Try this....
Run an RUU for wildfire.
- Download (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24 _ 3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed) from android forums.
- Connect phone to PC and run RUU
- This downgrads phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss
- Re-root with unrevoked 3
- Re-Flash CM7 and gApps

Many thanks Scratch and Arkose,
Since my post last week I have since formatted the SD Card as well as Wiping the Phone as much as possible.
I then flashed and installed the latest CM7 Stable, Radio Package as well as re-setting up the EXT Partition this time as Type 3.
Once up and running I reinstalled all Apps.
Seems to be running okay so far.
Long may it last hopefully.
If not will try last suggesion

Great stuff. Let us know how it goes

A quick update...
Still having issues
I'm noticing that randomly phone process will crash for no apparent reason/cause, normally when off Wifi and on Mobile Data.
Last night was the worst its even been though... at a critical moment when I needed the phone to work... it decided it was having none of it.
Phone kept switching Airplane Mode On and Off causing process.android.com to crash along with most other services So I rebooted only to find that it now was either stuck in Airplane Mode or couldnt enable to Radio (No Phone Signal at all) so I did a battery pull while trying to walk home in the pitch black and rebooted.
The Saga continued even after a battery pull, I eventually as I got in the door was able to use the 'Torch' and recieve a phonecall before all the processes crashed once more...
So I did a battery pull, left the phone for five mins and rebooted. All was well for a while, enabled Wifi, phone seemed happy.
Had to reboot a short while ago, after recieiving a phonecall and text.... grrr... anyone have any suggestions?

I had problem with process restarting. Adw launcher process I downloaded Go Launcher ex I have no problems now.

[Q] My phone keeps restarting after loading home screen. What should I do?

Hi there,
Longtime lurker, first time poster! Before I get into my issue, I would like to let you all know that I did do my due diligence and didn't find a concrete course of action to address this problem.
Here is what I did (as per Cyanogenmod Wiki)
1. I downgraded the phone to an exploitable version of Froyo
2. I rooted the phone
3. I installed Cyanogenmod 6 (because 7 wasn't working)
4. Installed Google apps for the above version.
5. Market and account wasn't working
6. Found CM version 9 beta
7. Installed that - it worked
8. Installed Google Apps ICS version - worked well
9. I finished doing this sometime in the morning, and the phone worked a good four hours before trouble began
10. I got a call, and post call the call manager (or equivalent Android process) stopped responding. I restarted the phone
11. Since then it has been rebooting after loading the home screen.
12. Post this, I searched online
13. One recommendation was to clear data, cache and restore factory setting via recovery.
14. I also formatted SD card and reinstalled CM 9
15. Issue persisted.
16. I tried another mod (Audacity 3) didn't work and has same issue.
Someone suggested I do a SuperWipe and reinstall the mod.
I would love to hear from you guys in terms of what I can do next. I am sure the device hasn't been bricked - I can still access recovery and bootloader.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Found the solution. The phone was rebooting because of an in compatible build of Google Apps. Downloaded the right one from Cyanogenmod Wiki, and its golden!

ive had the same and android revolution, just flash a rom like andromadus beta 4. or another rom

Thanks!
I did do that for a bit. I tried A different ROM but liked CM better. Also, I made a mistake with the build of google apps - which was the reason it kept rebooting. Have been using it for a couple of weeks and it works great.

[Q] Strange problem with ROM, CWM not working

Some time ago, I've tried to download some game from android market, but shortly after it finished, "process.google.acore has stopped" appeared. After showing up rapidly a few times, the error forced my phone to shut down.
After rebooting (CM 11 installed with 6.0.4.8 CWM) and unlocking the screen lock, the error showed up again. After dismissing it, I got another "google.process.gapps has stopped" and then "google Keep has stopped". Some seconds later, there was an error notification in the status bar (backup account needed) and another bunch of errors. I was unable to even get to the drawer, because the erorrs were showing one after another instantly. Finally, the phone crashed (I think...) by suddenly displaying cyanogenmod boot screen (it was stuck this way for 3 hours before the battery ran out). I tried rebooting it again a few times, but with the same outcome every time.
My first guess was to re-flash CM11. After full wipe and install from zip (no errors) the phone booted up... right into the system I was using minutes before, with the same wallpaper, pattern lock, theme and problem described above. Then, I tried some solutions found online such as:
1. flashing CWM (no effect; even worse, when I tried flashing older version to see if anything changed, it was still the newest one!)
2. flashing diffrent ROM (liquid-smooth, no effect, still CM11)
3. flashing stock kernel
4. flashing stock ROM
I gave up for two weeks, but today I tried again flashing CM11, but I received status 7 error (liquid-smooth got "some syslinks are missing")
I'm slowly running out of ideas, now I just want my phone to run ANYTHING. Please help me, because I think I tried every solution from XDA and nothing worked.

what happen when you flash stock rom via flashtool?

No effect, CM11 still shows up after boot

Isn't the syslinks problem due to a broken NAND memory? That's what I've gathered from the problems cropping up recently.
The best thing to do is contact the ROM developer.

Phone rebooting

I am having a weird problem,
I was using B513, it was working fine for a couple of days but then suddenly the phone started rebooting itself. The reboots went on for a while and then all was normal for a while. I used it and it was fine.
Then the reboots started again,, so i decided to change my rom. I installed B132 but it didnt even go to the phone setup. It rebooted after the Huawei logo. So then i installed B508 (chinese version),, the phone now boots up but whenever i try to unlock it,,, just placing the finger over the unlock sign reboots the phone. I have installed TWRP recovery but even in the recovery mode it is doing the same thing,,, whenever i touch any icon in the recovery ,,, the phone gets stuck and restarts...
Any help will be appreciated... Thanks

Hello
have you found a solution against rebooting ??
I had the same issue with B513 rom.
I tried to install a custom rom (omnirom) and i hoped this will solve my problem but not.
The phone with omnirom keeps rebooting, reboots 50-60 times / day.
in recovery mode my phone is stable, or if my son plays angry birds on it the phone works well. I tried to do some stress test, the phone became hot, but it was stable, so it doesnt seem to be a hardware issue.
I dont want to throw away my phone, but i cant use the phone anymore

Currently using B512,,, it is working but not that good
Reboots when i try to hold an icon on the homescreen or sometimes randomly reboots

I have half solved the problem.
try to go back the earlier firmware as possible..
if i remember well, the chinese B111sp1 worked me..
and upgrade step by step through factory upgrade process.. it will take a long time, go through B111-B112-B113 and so on.
and when the system says, there is no more upgrade package, i installed omni rom 4.4.4.
Now its running almost fine.. if i start the system the system say: google calendar has stopped working, clock has stopped working.. i have to press ok a few times, and all error message disappear..
then the phone works, only the settings freezes
settings - language input - advanced options - then i press back, i get: unfortunately, settings has stopped
but i can live with it, because i can make and receive calls.

i checkey my system with stress test, etc, everything was fine, i thought this must be a sw issue,
the final solution:
backup what you want to keep..
Install twrp.
download omnirom 4.4.4 and gapps 4.4.4
and copy to sd card
boot to twrp
format the system partition, wipe everything except sd card..
wipe all. the wipe and format is the most important thing, without wipe and format, the system will be unstable again.
install omni rom and gapps
reboot
and enjoy

My problem is a little more complex....
As you said to install a custom rom but that is the problem,,, not even TWRP works for me anymore. It reboots when i touch anything in TWRP,,
so i am assuming something else is the problem

Galaxy Note 10.1 SM-P600 Reboot Loop

Hi All,
Having some issues with my Galaxy Note 10.1 which I've had for quite a while now. It's rooted but with Android 5.0 stock rom and a custom kernel.
Just now (like 20mins ago) I tried to enable Adblock plus app, the app said it can't automatically change the settings - even though SuperSU was installed and had no issues with it previously. So like all things thought I'd give it a reboot that ought to clear it out. That didn't work, so tried clearing cache (Dalvik/ART/Cache), Still no joy.
I'm a s/w engineer, but not and android/bootloader expert, so I've tried to grab the dmesg and boot logs which I've attached, I've got some stuff on the internal SD (app data) which I'd like to keep, hence I'm not going for the full wipe.
Please take a look at the logs and see if you can determine how to fix this issue, my initial thoughts were there are some issues with the flash storage (bad sectors/partition table?), if I could grab the image and dd the image again I'd be OK - but I don't know much about about android boot loader/kernel etc so can't say.

Ok it has been fixed by wiping data - but I've lost my data and installed apps!
Is there anyway to find out which file/app is causing the boot loop so I can restore data, delete the offending file?

Well, I shall give a bump to this topic, with a little more info. Though probably not really useful.
First I had stock 5.1.1 deodex pre root etc ROM that, after I tried to insert a nano sim card (mine is a 601 3G model) that got stuck, it entered on a bootloop, I had to open it, take the sim card out, and it was still on a boot loop. Tried to install another image, still bootloop, tried to reinstall the original one I had, still bootloop, wiped data, worked fine.
Then almost 2 weeks later, everything worked fine, went to watch a video, the sound was mute, tried to turn it on but everything looked fine, decided to restart because it would probably fix the problem. Got a bootloop. Wiped the data, everything was fine again.
Now, a little more than 2 weeks later, seems like the wifi is not working, thought all my other devices are, guess it's the same problem, decided to restart it, and bootloop again. I'm currently trying to update my TWRP, and gonna try a different ROM, and wait to see if something like that happens, until then, I wonder what could be happening... I remembered an Asus Device that I had that had different firmware versions for 4.4 and 4.1, so if I tried to flash a 4.4 on a 4.1 firmware it wouldn't work, and for downgrade, the same problem happened, and wondered if Samsung has some difference between versions 4 and 5.

ssj4maiko Let me know if you find a more stable rom - I went back to pretty much stock, but with root as I wanted to use all the Samsung apps, but this constant random bootloops are annoying!
