This is an extremely strange problem that I've never encountered before. The issue is whenever I shut down my device, it wont ever boot back up again. The way I've been getting around this issue is going into my TWRP recovery and backing up/restoring the same backup and that fixes it. That has been becoming a nuisance so I've decided to come here for help. I did a few Google searches so I'm sorry if someone else has posted this issue. I am currently using the T989D (The T989D Is the Canadian version of the T989) Running CM11 (4.3.1) And TWRP Recovery.
Bump. Still having the issue. Wiped Data + Cache. The issue is still reoccurring.

My Desire has intermittent freezing issues. I thought it might have been due to a poor rom installation so I wiped the Dalkvik cache and factory wipe before I re-flashed LeeDroid 2.2a. I've kept the phone clean and not installed any apps so I can rule out and problems caused by them.
It was working fine yesterday until I was showing a friend how to wipe battery stats, when I went to reboot the phone from ClockworkMod it then froze at the lock screen. I had to pull the battery twice before it actually started up correctly.
It's fine now but I'm just waiting on it happening again.
Has anyone else had these issues?
It was a t-mobile uk handset and I would need to restore to their rom before returning, so if that is the likely solution, can someone pass a link so I can put their rom back on the phone.
Any help or advice appreciated.
I've just got my Desire back from repair (after 6 weeks of grief with HTC, but that's another story on another thread!) and it's doing exactly the same as yours....will appear to work fine, then randomly freeze. This could happen after 10 minutes or sometimes even during boot.
I've rooted it, but it's still got the stock T-Mobile (UK) ROM. I'm wondering if the problem might be caused by rooting, but have downloaded the 2 stock ROMs on the relevant thread on here, but neither will install.
Have you had any joy with your issue?
I'll email you as well.
Cheers,

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!

im using twrp first i tried to factory reset, caches that didnt work i formated internal storage same problem everything works great untill i restart the phone then wont go past boot screen. like its not reading the internal drive even did fix permisions and wiped caches after install. Also i used the updated su to flash after still problems, beyond me no problems with older ones or tw just the 4.3 roms
I, also, am having this very same issue. I'm honestly surprised that noone else seems to have run across this issue.
Installing is never an issue, running is never a problem, but if I ever reboot, if a ROM reboots itself, I'm left stuck at the GalaxyS4 splash screen, and the only way out it to Wipe everything and reinstall.
I see youre posting from an S3, I am using an AT&T S4.
Clearly, the issue is related to 4.3...
I had that problem with an unofficial build. But that was a bad download. Do you have new phones? The mount points are different on the newer sg3's. There's a thread with a fix for that
i had that problem. for some reason it locks your recovery and internal storage. you have to wipe it and install a rom via odin to work again. thats why im staying away from 4.3
i got my phone last december so its not real new, guess Ill just stay away from 4.3 roms. my recovery never got locked it just wont boot back up after restart. thanks for all the ideas
So I've recently used ODIN to restore the stock ND8 factory image on my S3 and now it is constantly crashing and then rebooting and I'm not sure the reason. I don't have an issue on a stock rooted rom, or another custom rom just the factory image itself. I do not have an SD card in my phone as I know sometimes they cause issues. The phone is booting up and if I'm fast enough and I keep doing something on it, sometimes it will keep working until I stop using it and sometimes it just crashes anyways and reboots.
If anyone has any other solutions to try or knows how to fix this issue I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
I've been regularly running cyanogenmod 11 on my Bell S3 without many issues. Last going off, I believe I was running either M11 or M12 of CM11, and all was well. Then, curiosity got the best of me, and I slapped on CyanideL Lollipop beta, and while that ran pretty damn well for me for about a month, I reverted back to CM11 a few days ago due to some minor bugs and annoyances (mostly camera). Anyways, since reverting back to CM11 M12, my phone has been randomly shutting off, not rebooting, just off. It has happened while it's in my pocket not really in use, or it can happen while I'm going to check my text messages.
Thinking this was an issue maybe with M12, I updated to the latest nightly, but nope, its still the same. Some of the times that its happened in my hands, I've seen the Power Button menu pop up, and then disappear. A few seconds later, boom, off she goes. It always powers up again when I power it back on, but I would like to try to get to the bottom of what is causing this, as it is being very annoying for me.
The question is, what can I do to try and nail down this issue? When flashing back to CM11, I did the full wipe, then dalvik/cache after the flash. Is there something that happens when you go from 5.0 back to 4.4 that may cause this?
This is possibly related. I tried out an unofficial cyanogemmod 12 rom on my AT&T S3 for a while, but decided to revert due to camera not working. So I installed S3Rx ROM on the phone and had some issues. The phone would get stuck on the loading screen and never get past that. I did the standard data/factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik wipe before installing S3Rx back, but no luck. The only way I could get it to install correctly was by formatting /system, /cache, /data and /data/media in ClockworkMod recovery. But be aware that you will lose all personal data when you do that so be sure to backup.
Alright, I'll backup what I need to, and do a full wipe as you suggested. I'm pretty sure I did that when I downgraded to begin with, but no hurt in trying it again.
You could flash back to completely stock 4.4.2 using firmware from sammobile.com, depending on the bootloader on your phone.

If I do go back to Stock 4.4.2, would I be able to re-root again? Its been a couple of years since I had to mess with stock, so I don't know what has changed.
I've tried a few different things here, completely wiping everything, installing a 4.4.4 kernel, installing CM11 from scratch, restoring from TWRP, etc etc. Still having the issue.
Last thing I'll try before going to stock is to try going back to lollipop.
Update: I'm starting to think that this is just a coincidental hardware issue. It seems to have something to do with my power button, perhaps there's something stuck in it that's cause the button to be pressed. Right before it shuts off, the power menu pops up for a split second once or twice, then the phone becomes unresponsive for a second, then its off. Certainly sounds hardware related. Just attempted lollipop again, and same result.
I think you are correct in your assessment. Open up the phone and see if you can find anything that looks odd.
