Hi, hope im posting in the right section.
i have had my desire since it came out , rooted it straight away , flashed loads of diffrent roms (from here) but now all of a sudden my desire has started crashing all the time and when i say all the time i mean about every 15 mins. I take the battrey out, boot use it for a min then when i next go to use it it wont do anything and i have to take the battrey out again and boot.
i have tried lots of diffrent roms it still does the same, i have even tried to run backups from rom manager and still the same. i have run antivirus still the same.
any ideas
thanks
It sounds like a kernel issue (too much undervoling or overclocking maybe, and some ROMs might not contain a kernel image), but first of all it would help us if you told us what ROM you're actually using right now.
Try to flash your sd rom.
If you use a2sd..partition again.
Full wipe again and flash you favorite rom.
If the problem still percist....Flash an official rom better old one 2.1 for no change to newer boot. Test the device if still freeze.
If everything ok, root again your phone ...partition again sd and then flash your favorite rom.
I've been having the same problem mate. Just flashed back to stock 2.1 and all seems fine now. Will reroot later this week and see what happens!

well tried everything so then tried flashing back to stock but it carnt find bootloader (using magic mem card)
any more idea's?
ps im using aurxtsense 8.0
i was thinking it was something to do with clocking as well.
mine seams to have calmed down now, it still couldn't find bootloader though when i tried to flash a stock ruu.
i formated my memory card and re-flashed aurxtsense 8.0 and it hasn't crashed since.
haven't tried doing anything since because i aint got time to sit and sort it out at the mo if something goes wrong again
Not sure what the means but you should be able to flash the ruu from HTC or if your phone is branded then one from the network. There's a like to them all in the dev section.
Can tell u though that I flashed back to stock and had no problems. Bit since rooting again its back. Even wiped my SD card and recreate the partitions. Doesn't seem as frequent this time though. I went straight to a hd Rom. It never used to happen on older custom roms and do think its something to do with the volting & clocking.

So, last week or a bit past last week, i flashed aokp JB build 3 and then franco nightly. I have Clockwerk recovery and flashed gapps. (Tutorial)
So now yesterday , my phone was fine. Around sometime in the afternoon after i replied a text , then an hour later my phone was off. I thought that was weird, so i turned it on and after the google logo, i'm stuck on the aokp logo. And can't get past it. I played a 55 MIN dota 2 game with the boot logo on. I'm quite a noob. So help me please?

Probably nothing wrong with your device. I would guess it has to do with a bug in either AOKP or your custom kernel. Flash back to stock and I bet your device will boot. (Link is stickied in General or look in my signature.) You have to expect issues like that when you are running custom roms and particularly custom kernels. If you don't want to deal with those issues, I would recommend to stay stock.

Hi, okay so it says that flashing wont remove data, then above on the top of the thread it says that it will erase everything. I'm confused.
If this is the ONLY way , then can you please tell me how to do this, i'm confused.
If there is another way on to get out of this boot logo aokp thingy, without losing data , please tell me.
Note: i dont know if i'm doing anything, but i backed up via the recovery CWM
then after i deleted cache and dalvik, then flashed aokp,franco and then g apps. And nothing happened
Bump please. i really don't want to wipe my phone
Reflash AOKP, the Kernel and GApps, You could also jsut reflash AOKP and GAPPS with no custom kernel. that should pull you out of the bootloop. If it does not pull you out of the bootloop you will have to find another rom based off of what AOKP is and try flashing that. Most likely right now there is a problem with your boot.img file or AOKP rom its self. if you just reflash everything like you are flashing a nightly you should be fine unless something else is work. After you flash everything like you do with a new nightly make sure you wipe cache and dalvik. If non of the above works you might have to wipe and start all over again. You do not lose your internal SD card data just your user data and system data.

Uhh i reflashed aokp, kernel and gapps. Nothing really. Two questions.
1. Anything else?
2. for the reflashing, i want to flash another rom, how do i put the files on the phone? Gnex doesn't have an sd card slot and i dont know how to access it on the computer if it is in recovery mode. So confused
EDIT: not entirely sure what flashing means, so what i meant by flashing in my case, was that i just re ran the zips. then reboot. Nothing . waited 5-10 minutes ish. Never had long bootups on my first try.
Bump please!

Please do not bump a thread more than once every 24 hours (see rule 16). Thanks.
As for your issue, I will say it again: the link I provided you has all the information you need to return your device to stock without wiping the data on /sdcard. You just need to take some time and read it carefully a couple of times instead of rushing through it. If you don't understand something, just ask. (What you had said previously: "Hi, okay so it says that flashing wont remove data, then above on the top of the thread it says that it will erase everything. I'm confused." says to me that you did not read the entire post and the notes. And note, if your bootloader is already unlocked, you do not have to unlock it again...)

Hi.
I installed a custom ROM (CM10) yesterday but ever since then, when the screen is turned off, it will restart after about 1 minute. If I try to turn the screen on again before 1 min, it'll restart. In other words, when it goes to sleep, restart will be required. Please help me on solving this issue. I searched a lot and I thought maybe it has to do with the maximum CPU frequency, I tried changing it but didn't help.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
What did you wipe during the install? And what ROM did you install?
Probably to start the best thing to do is redownload the rom, do a full wipe (cache, davlik cache, data, and system), then reflash the rom.

Thank you for the response.
Yes I did wipe the tablet (a full wipe as you mentioned) before flashing the ROM.
First I had tried Jellytime Sosei and when I realized the problem, I tried "Build 4 Linaro Stock" from this post but still the problem exists :/ Before installing the first ROM, I had done a full wipe, but not for the second one.
Thanks again for helping me.
Try a full wipe to build 1 from the sosei thread, build 1 or 2 from the linaro thread, or the original cm10 thread. Those were the most stable for me. It's a weird issue, so it's probably a bad download or flash issue.
Its screaming bad install or bad settings, wipe twice then flash again, make sure to change nothing for speed, governor, io scheduler, and stock included kernel.
Don't even install an app for OC. It may be a huge bug showing for the first time, if we go carefully we'll find it, or get it going properly again. Occasionally the blackhole wipe used can clear up flash issues, but wipes internal sd as well.

I'm gonna give those three that you said a try, when I get home. But, can you give me the link of the original CM10 thread that you're saying? I thought there isn't one for A100, since I didn't find it on their website. Is there a official CM10 ROM for A100?
There is no Official CM10 for the A100, Romman was referring to this link for the original CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792634
OK, after wiping everything twice and also wiping internal SD, I flashed "Build 2" from CM10 Unofficial Builds thread. Apparently this one doesn't have that bug and everything is fine, but the problem is that it's buggy and clock doesn't show well and when you press recent apps button, the overlay doesn't cover the bottom of the screen. So, I'm gonna try and flash Build 1 or maybe newer Builds and see what I get.
But is there a work around for the clock and other bugs problem in Build 2?

There isn't one, no, but it was corrected in B4. I think. I'm building this stuff without the device so I can only go by reports. You're reporting issues that no one else has, is your device functional otherwise? Like is it ok on a stock Rom? Using the correct gapps, any other changes or mods?

It was totally OK on the stock ROM and this never had happened, not even once.
I'm using the gapps that I got from your CM10 ROMs thread, which is apps for v 4.1.2. I haven't changed ANYTHING else in the tablet, no mods or customization at all... :/
P.S. I tried Build 4 again, this time I fully wiped everything before flashing, but again, the bug still exists. gonna try some other guys' ROM to see if the problem is with this ROM or it's from my device.

If its fine on stock then its gonna be Rom or kernel, just never heard of this happening before. What governor did you use?

Hello everyone, long time lurker here.
I feel embarrassed even posting this thread in the first place but I'm currently flat out stumped. Over a year ago I flashed CM10 to my SGH-I747 using CWM (the whole process was done in a pretty outdated way, everything was basically manual) and a few months ago when I discovered cwm rom manager I installed cm11. I only ever used stable releases, never even thought about using a nightly.
Long story short after encountering the no service error I decided to try a nightly build for the first time ever. I had no problems after I installed it, functionality was just fine, but still the fact that my phone wouldn't save an APN was unresolved.
Today I decided that flashing back to stock and then reinstall CM using the app in the play store. After browsing this forum and youtube I foolishly used odin mobile to flash what I beleive is a stock version of android for my device. I got a normal starting animation (that annoying AT&T tun-tun-tun-tun with the words re-think possible show up like before) but it gets to this point where all I see is the word SAMSUNG in all white on my screen (it kinda has this glowing effect).
That's it.
First time I waited 30 mins and then pulled the battery. Restarted it twice more after waiting for the same amount of time.
The MD5 file I used came from file dropper. The URL after the dot com is /i747ucalemi747attalematt (sorry for posting this in a confusing way, I can't post links yet because I'm a noob).
Now when I boot my phone into recovery mode It says -
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
etc... the rest of the reboot/apply/wipe options
So... now what? Sorry for the giant explanation I just don't know what next step I should take. I wanna go back to stock, restore my data functionality, and properly set up CM using a rom manager. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate any help you guys can offer.
P.S. I have the modem .zip for my carrier and I'm fine with using mobile Odin to install if I can just get normal functionality in my phone back.
What bootloader is on your phone? Did you try doing a factory reset from recovery mode?

that's the stock recovery. try to wipe data/factory reset.
Hello! Pretty new in XDA forum and I have a couple of questions and concerns. I was browsing through some threads and I was wondering if I could get some opinion/help from other members.
I have a second phone that I want to mod and I need some help.
Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 (ROOTED)
Model#: SGH-M919
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband: M919UVUFNK2
It's an old phone and lately, it's been running really slow and if possible, I'd like to make it run as if it was brand new or at least somewhat close. So the question is, are there any recommended stable roms/mods I could use and if there are/is, will I be able to use it with my rooted phone or do I have to completely factory reset it before I apply the mods/roms?
Thank you!
Hi @Mr.LinK,
Just yesterday I finally got sick of my M919 slow/battery drain/old stuff and decided it was time for a reset. I was running SlimKat from over a year ago and while it was a great ROM, I had accumulated so much crap that it was getting really bogged down. This just happens over time no matter what OS, no fault to Slim. But I was also looking to move to Lollipop. Here's what I did:
1. Backed up using several methodologies (full backup with TWRP just in case, then from Android I backed stuff up with Helium, and used Backup My Mobile for SMS/MMS etc., an EFS backup just in case, etc..)
2. From within Android, did a factory reset. This sent the phone into recovery, and it formatted the data partition.
3. Rebooted to recovery again, and used TWRP to manually format the media section, just in case something was left there. Then wiped everything except the external SD.
4. Used ODIN to flash the OH3 firmware onto my MDL M919, without letting reboot after (unchecked the reboot checkbox). Pulled battery, rebooted back into download mode again, and flashed OH3 a second time... this gets around some instance people have reported about incomplete upgrades of firmware and all sorts of issues... better safe than sorry.
5. Let phone boot into now 100 % stock OH3 Android 4.4.4. YEEEUKKK. Some part of me thought I would just root the thing and get rid of Samsung crapware, but just the sheer annoyance of the T-Mobile boot animation was enough to remind me why I left stock long ago. Anyway, I let it boot, and set it up minimally with just 1 Google account, not restoring from backup. To my surprise it found the ATT network (I'm an ATT user, not T-Mobile... I just prefer T-Mo phones because they have unlocked bootloaders) and APN no problem no effort from me. Usually I have to enter an APN.
6. I tested the phone out to make sure all systems were working. GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, etc.. To my surprise, first time I ran the camera app, it applied a firmware patch. Sweet. I'm glad I went through this step. Coming from ancient MDL, I figured there might be some kinks like this. I let it sit on stock for a few hours while I did stuff with my kids.
7. Back home, I did a factory reset from within Android. Then I flashed the latest TWRP tar file (2.8.7.0) using ODIN, and in TWRP did a full wipe of everything again.
8. At this point I flashed Danvdh's GPE edition of Lollipop from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
Installation went smoothly. It's a very basic set of apps that it comes with (Google play is there, but you have to download email/messaging apps from the store such as Gmail and Messaging, Maps, etc). I like this approach!
I've been gradually setting things back up, and am very happy with things so far. Haven't run into any problems yet. The nice pure GPE android experience is refreshing.
@Frankenscript Thanks for the information. I was reading the linked thread and it looks really good so I'll give it a try

I just completely flashed my phone with the ROM and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. No bloatware feels so nice. I've been tinkering with it for a while now and I haven't encountered any problems so far but I did notice that model number changed to GT-I9505G. I'm assuming that's normal since the rom is based off of another variant which makes sense, correct me if I'm wrong. Will this complicate future updates or other rom installation? If so, are there any ways of reverting back to the original model number?

I'm pretty sure we can change the reported model number by modifying the build.prop file. I just haven't poked around with it yet... I did ask the question in the thread and am waiting for a reply. I haven't had to do this kind of thing for over a year, and I forget the build.prop key that does it. But I had some concern that it might bork something else down the road so I decided to wait a bit. IT's just a cosmetic thing and I'm SOOO enjoying the experience right now.
Two little things I'm still fishing around for answers to:
-In the drop down quick access menu, I wish there was a sound/vibrate/mute toggle. I can make one with PowerToggles but maybe there's a way to adjust what's in the native one.
-Really silly, but the power off button when pressed just seems to ... power off the phone!? No option for restart / recovery. Maybe there's an option to set this somewhere; haven't checked.
Still, these are all minor things to sort out. Really, I think I'm very sold on GPE editions now thanks to Danvdh's work.

Just an update, my phone just rebooted twice in the last 5 mins or so. Was watching on my netflix and it randomly rebooted. Any idea what's causing it and how to prevent it from happening?

Haven't seen random reboots. I think I got maybe one reboot since installing the ROM. Then again, I haven't put NF on the phone. I do know that Netflix app had some issues on my Shield tablet, and the manufacturer (Nvidia) came out with a patch... maybe it's something general in Lollipop?

Both if those can be fixed with Xposed modules.
