[Q] AT&T GS3 Freezing and Rebooting after Stock JB Update / Rooting (LONG)

Help! My phone is freezing / locking up and rebooting several times a day now!
I successfully did the stock AT&T Jellybean update this week when it became available via Kies.
I had no issues with the initial upgrade…it seemed to go smooth.
After a day…or a few hours….I can’t remember…I did start noticing a few issues with Touch Wiz closing or freezing and some other apps misbehaving. I can’t even remember what exactly the issues were.
I was also having some other quirky issues with the phone on stock ICS before the JB update…so I have been meaning to do a factory reset and reinstall everything.
So with the phone being even more flakey with JB I went ahead and did a factory reset with my new JB setup.
After a few hours setting up the phone with all my apps, settings, etc I noticed two issues. Swiftkey would not remain selected as my default keyboard and AT&T Voicemail viewer would not retain any of my account settings after a reboot.
After some Googling I learned that this is a know issue with JB 4.1.1 for many apps…they don’t quite install properly and something happens during shutdown that causes the settings to be lost. The only work around seemed to be:
Root Phone
Install apps
Backup with Titanium or other backup program
Uninstall apps
Restore apps – then they somehow install properly and work
I did this…first time rooting the phone….and the root and work around worked perfectly first time.
But after continuing to install apps and tweak my phone the real problems have now begun.
The phone is completely freezing at random times…in any app or in the TW launcher. It seems to just sit there frozen until I hold down the power key long enough to force a reboot or take out the battery.
There are no force closes or other error messages and I have found no other pattern to the freezes.
So now the phone is almost totally useless. It may work for a few hours…or just a few minutes before locking up. Worse…I have no way to know this has happened if the phone is in my pocket.
I did another full factory reset using the Recovery Mode and reinstalled everything again and am having the same issues.
I fear the root somehow corrupted my phone or one of my apps is totally incompatible with JB but I have to many (~70) it will be very hard to tell which one.
The other issue I am having is the battery is draining in just 4-5 hours even with light use.
Coincidentally….4G LTE was just turned on in my area this week so that would be a factor in both the battery drain and maybe even the lockups. I have a Microcell at home…wondering if 4G LTE and my Microcell are not behaving.
There are just too many variables with a new ROM (JB), fresh rooting of the phone plus recovery app installed, plus 70+ apps, plus new 4G LTE, plus my Microcell.
I don’t know what to try next to get the phone stable or to get the battery use reasonable.
Please post any and all suggestions….
One thing I’d like to clear up or eliminate is the root issue…is there any way that is the cause of my phone’s current problems?
What a mess of a week! Instead of the total awesomeness of JB, 4G LTE, and the fresh experience of using a rooted phone...all happening for me in the same week...I get a total headache and useless phone. Sure hope I can dig my way out of this.
Thanks for reading my long post!

I'd say to flash stock rooted official jellybean from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 i'd then do a Hard Factory reset *2767*3855# then you can install apps that are compatible with jb but not the app data and see how the phone is. also, for signal issues, try using a different modem located herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898

Thanks for the ideas....had not heard of the "Hard Factory reset *2767*3855#"....how is that different from a factory restet initiated from winthing Android or from the recovery program?
Also - is there any quick / easy way to know which of my apps are supposed to be compatible with JB?
Sure will be a pain to reconfigure everything again.
Should I be safe installing my apps via Titanium backup restores? (as long as I don't restore data)
Also - what about restoring my IMs and call logs from Kies? Is that safe?

Do you happen to have juice defender? I had the same problem, and noticed it only happened when I was on battery. I uninstalled that and it stopped rebooting.

Nope....juice defender...
And my phone doesn't really seem to be rebooting....just freezing up. I have to force it to reboot by holding down the power button for 10 seconds.
About to try a fresh factory ROM install (pre-rooted) and a hard factory reset.
Then I'll add my apps back very slowly to see....
What a pain in the you know what!

Well...I did all that...and no luck. Still freezing up.
I could not actually do the exact *2767*3855# reset...the phone would not respond to that command. So I used CWM to format the SDCard and also did a factory reset there.
Reinstalled my apps carefully and without data restore...boom....phone is locking up all the time again after maybe 12 hours of good operation.
Either this build of JB is not working on my phone or it somehow got fubar'ed during that first upgrade.
My plan now is to restore to factory ICS un-rooted....reset the flash counter if possible....and return the phone under warranty if possible.
Any recommendations for this?

Got replacement phone - still freezing up!

HELP!!!! Please!!!!!
I did a warranty RMA and got a new (refurbed) phone from AT&T. I set it up with stock ICS and it seemed to work fine. I installed CWM without rooting via ODIN and did a Nandroid backup. I then used CWM to load TWRP recovery and did a backup with that.
Then I loaded the stock JB room with root. Tweaked the phone and app settings a little and things seemed to be fine for 1/2 a day. I reinstalled TWRP since the ROM flash replaced it with stock recovery. Things still seemed fine.
So...with JB rooted and seeming to work fine....I booted into Recovery (TWRP) and did a fresh Nandroid backup since the phone was finally all configured and working (apparently).
Well after rebooting from the backup...the phone is acting all crazy again. It seemed to crash my home WiFi network....had to reboot my router. Now the phone freezes or locks up any time I disable WiFi or change WiFi settings.
I am just cursed with the GS3!
Two separate phones with stock AT&T JB with root...one running CWM Touch and the new one running TWRP and both lock up or freeze all the time.
Should I give up and try custom ROMs? Give up on rooting?
I want TouchWiz for SBeam and some of the Samsung apps that I like better than stock...would rather just stay stock with Root.
What can I do to get this phone stabilized with root and JB???

Just did another test...
If I leave my house and walk a couple hundred yards away...as soon as the phone finally loses the WiFi signal and disconnects it locks up.
Seems like all my issues (with first phone maybe too) are tied to WiFi.
Is no one else having WiFi issues with JB? Could it be tied to rooting somehow? For instance...maybe the stock rooted ROM has different modem or WiFi drivers...or different kernel than the actual stock JB ROM I first used via Kies update?

I've got the KIES JB Update, & rooted. I am not experiencing any of the issues your having. It might be helpful if you could post a list of apps & widgets that you have installed, If you have frozen or removed stock files.
It sounds like you may be experiencing some app conflict issues.

I have not frozen any apps or done anything I would consider advanced or risky....
I tried running with what I thought would be just "safe" apps....no luck. I've got most all of my apps installed and did a Titanium Backup so here is a dump of all the user apps backed up:

Having the exact same problems as you. Please help. I'm also considering giving the phone back at Best Buy and having them give me a new one with ICS and leaving ICS on there. My steps are very simple. I had the stock ICS ROM from AT&T and I used Kies to upgrade to stock JB. That's it, nothing else, no rooting, nothing.
I am seeing exactly the same behavior, when wifi switches to 4G or even sometimes when bluetooth comes on, etc I will see the lockup and hang. Have to hold down power button to restart. But I don't think this is completely the issue, because even if I turn off wifi, bluetooth and only leave on 4G, then I still will see random reboots, but a lot lot less frequent. Also, I have always had 4G and I see the battery only lasting 4-6 hrs, so I think this is normal with 4G. I saw this even with ICS.
I have not done any factory reset or anything - I would assume if you use the Kies s/w to update and it leaves your files and apps on there, then it should just work. But I will try the factory reset once I backup my contacts, etc.
I'm a little shocked that people are having this problem with a newly released ROM.

After several re-flashes to stock JB with root and still more freezing with WiFi, etc....I gave up and loaded a custom ROM this morning.
I'm running BlackJelly...and after about 8 hours it seems be be running great so far. It is TW JB-based...and having very few issues with it. Battery is poor but it takes a few days of charging and use I guess to get the battery / phone / ROM calibrated. AT&T Visual Voicemail is not working and the phone shows H instead of 4G LTE...but I'm sure I can fix those issues by searching through the hundreds of thread pages on that ROM is this forum.
Give it a try before you switch to ICS or trade in the phone. You can always flash back to stock un-rooted and use Triangle Away to reset flash counter.
Good luck!

Still stuck with crashing phone!

Well...after over a week of trying it out....BlackJelly did not help me. Still had freezes / lock-ups.
I can't tell if the phone is re-booting itself or just re-launching the Launcher (I us Nova but tried stock and Apex too). The phone appears to re-boot on it's own but the up-time under status would not reset...making it seem like not a re-boot but a launcher reload or something. Pretty much same issues as with stock JB.
So I gave up and tried CM10.1 nightlies....and wow....crashing all the time now. Whereas stock JB and BlackJelly seemed to crash when I left my home or left any WiFi network or even just when I disabled WiFi while connected....CM10.1 crashes all the time while at home seemingly at random. I can get 5 hours of great use...then have it crash 5 times in an hour. Seems to crash a lot in the settings menus.
This is with my second (replacement) phone. I am just cursed!
How do I effectively use a LogCat app or something to find out what apps or services or whatever are crashing my phone? Help!

Read through this whole thread and no where did you ever mention clearing your cache. Clear your system cache/davlik cache and reboot.

Sorry...should have mentioned that. I've cleared the system and davlik cache many times...before and after flashing. I've done full system wipes / resets, formatted my SD card...everything I can think of.
I either have a rouge app that I seem to install right away after clean flashes....or a rouge Wifi router in my house that messes up my phone even when I leave and use other networks...or a rouge ATT&T microcell that does the same....or a rogue LTE area in West Michigan....
Or a second bad phone sent from AT&T. But no form of JB seems to work for me no matter what. Guess I could run a clean install with no apps for several days...and then add in an app a day for the next 2+ months until I find the bad app...if that is even the case.
So bummed with this mess!

Interesting....that might be what I was experiencing....but I never thought that was it....did not notice that cause/effect.
I gave up and went back to stock / rooted ICS / TW...version LH9. Loaded it yesterday and have had 24 hours of great use...no issues.
I miss JB and Google Now...but at least my phone works!

I'm not sure for stock JB but on other ROMs, you could try changing your governor and scheduler.

When on CM10.1 I tried bumping the minimum CPU speed to 484 and 5xx (can't remember the actual numbers)....and the maximum CPU speed to to 14xx and 13xx (again, can't remember)....and this did not help.
Not sure if that is what you meant tho.
Anyway...I gave up and went back to rooted stock ICS (LH9) and the phone is working great. I've given up on JB for now. I will wait for a new major JB release from Samsung before I try again.

Q: The phone keeps freezing when I go into landscape mode.
A: This has been covered many times in the thread, but to reiterate: If you are using the AOSP lockscreen you must disable "Ripple Effect" in Settings -> Lock Screen -> Lock Screen Options

KK to lollipop and back and...????

Ok so I don't know what I did but this thing is acting very strange. Was working well on stock rooted, but wanted to try cloudy as I have read battery life is significantly better and I wanted to get rid of the half a day life of it.
So I ended up flashing cloudy lollipop. Worked very well but I couldn't record phone calls and I need that do I wanted to go back to KK. I then proceeded to flash cloudy KK version and got into trouble somehow. Signal was in and out every 3 seconds. Found out I needed to flash the 10r modem, so found that and did that. Then on boot it gets stuck on "starting apps". Got it working back on lollipop, but now I'm having calling issues, can't connect to any ssl addresses on the web etc etc. Call issues like random disconnects unless on speakerphone or so it seems.
Not sure what to do at this point.

Try flashing cloudy's LP baseband

Data problems after unroot

I'm having issues with my data connection after unrooting my phone for the LP update. I used the the TOT file method to unroot my phone, and didn't have any issues with the process. This method takes me back to the 10c version and everything works flawlessly. When I take the updates though, everything looks normal, boots up fine, but won't connect to anything but WiFi. The data signal bars have a tiny refresh circle rotating above for a few seconds then goes to a red x. Ten in a few more seconds it starts over searching for a signal. This happens on every stock ROM I flash now too. Only the 10c ROM, CM11, CM12, and AOSP based ROMs work. I'm not a complete noob at rooting. I've been doing it since my og evo 4g, but this is the first major problem I've had. Currently I'm staying with the unrooted 10c ROM until I can find a fix. Everything is working, but I constantly have the update notification which is annoying. Anyone have any other suggestions? I've tried using the TOT file method and the KDZ file with the 10R method. Thanks in advanced

Have you tried my fix? It might work for you. Try it and let me know. Before trying it though make sure your APN is correct setting for Tmobile. If so try the fix on my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/help/lte-lollipop-issue-fix-t3075637

Not sure how I missed your thread. I'm trying it now and I'll report back in a few.

That did the trick!!!

Shut off after LG logo

D851 here, When ever i switched from cloudy 2.5 to blisspop 4.0 and after wiping everything i flashed a various of radios bootstacks and etc to make it boot after many failed attempts to boot ( it boots up but after 4 or so seconds after the lg logo the screen turns black and doesnt turn back on until after i pull out the battery) it worked after i flashed the rom WITHOUT a custom kernel so naturally i booted up just fine and thought maybe now i set up everything on my phone and tweaks i should go back and flash a custom kernel i used to use (777 r16) but then it gave me the problem i faced before the black screen after the lg logo no kernal would work. THEN another problem arised similar to the freezing on the black screen randomly during a usage thru my day the phones screen would be unresponsive animations but touch wouldnt work and i know its not my screen cause when i flash back to cloudy it works fine the freezing happens at least every 5 mins. someone halp?

i know this thread is kinds old...
but i have this same issue too... I found if I switch batteries the problem isn't as bad... but, then it becomes bad again. Its weird. Before I swapped batteries I couldn't even login with my google account, after a fresh flash. then after I swapped batteries (gf has same phone) I was able to get through to the end and setup the phone. But, then an hour later it started happening again....
OP, did you find a solution?

i actaully did i think one of the problems was maybe flashing over the same kernel? see what happened was after i gave up flashing the kernel i just flashed without it and to my surprise the build actually came with the kernel pre-installed...shocker and so i had no need to flash over the kernel that i wants because the maker of g3 tmo blisspop already had it in his build and it boots up fine( DISCLAIMER: i cant say this about other roms because the only one i actually tested and wanted was blisspop)

Okay.
Well, when I was flashing I never flashed a kernel.
Ill be getting a brand new Anker Battery in the mail today. Ill report my findings.
I ended up going to a stock based rom and the issue never happened. So I stuck with it. Ill have to do some testing later and ill let you know how the battery works.

It's not the battery
I downgraded my T-Mo G3 since I couldn't root it with LP on it. Went back to 4.4.2., rooted it, TWRP'd it, and installed the latest CM12 Nightly, Gapps, SU, etc.
As long as the sim card was OUT the installation was great on wifi only, As soon as I put it in it shut off right after, or during boot up. Take the sim out and it works. And yes, the only way to get back into recovery was pulling the battery and doing the key press to recovery. Mystified.
If I find out anything, I'll post it here.

I'd say do a complete return to stock, upgrade via LG Mobile Support tool all the way to 20G, see how it works stock for a while. Then root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197 using the first method) and see what happens.

Problems with Stock ROM, Custom ROMs, and LTE radio

Gonna try my best to give as much information as I can to make it easier for anyone good enough to try and help me with this. So I have an HTC One M9, from Sprint right here in the good old US of A, and it was working fine until I got the OTA Marshmallow update. At that point, apps started crashing like crazy (even after all were updated) and the status bar at the top of the screen and navigation buttons at the bottom would randomly disappear for several seconds after pressing the volume buttons, even after wiping the cache for both the system as well as the individual apps in question.
"No problem," I thought, "I'll just root it and install a custom ROM like I have with all my Android phones in the past." So I did that and tried Android Revolution, ICE, and ViperOne (all the latest versions), and every one of them had the same issues with programs crashing, the volume buttons messing up the screen, and so on. Actually, I couldn't even get through the setup wizards for any of them because those kept crashing too, and I had to use TWRP to rename the HTCSetupWizard.apk just to get to the home screen. Once there, my home button was inoperable, and no notifications or usual buttons like WiFi, Bluetooth, etc appeared when I pulled down on the status bar (which I discovered is what Android does if you don't complete the setup wizard).
At this point, I thought, "Well, maybe it's just a problem where my phone doesn't like Marshmallow for some reason. Let me try downgrading to Lollipop and see what happens." So I got the latest Lollipop versions for each of the aforementioned Custom ROMs, and they all ran smooth as silk, which tells me it's not an issue with faulty or damaged hardware. Only problem was that mobile data wouldn't work, on either LTE or CDMA settings.
I tried changing network modes, popping my SIM card in and out and rebooting in various combinations, but none of it worked. I couldn't even get into APN settings since the phone couldn't seem to detect my SIM card and had the APN menu greyed out. I thought I might have somehow damaged the SIM card with all the time I spent screwing around with the phone, but just to see what happened, I flashed a Marshmallow ROM back onto the phone and, sure enough, LTE service was right back.
I did some more research and saw that the issue may lay in the fact that the firmware (which is currently OS version 3.41.651.4) is not usable for Lollipop OS versions, and since my phone is S-ON (and I'm really not interested in spending $25 to S-OFF it), I'm not able to downgrade the firmware or, I assume, the radio firmware (if that's something you can even do separately from the "regular" firmware. Currently version [email protected]).
At this point, I'm really not sure what to do, and could use some guidance. I feel like my options basically boil down to the following:
1)Find a way to make Marshmallow ROMs more stable, possibly by reinstalling the firmware or some other method someone here might know that I don't,
2)S-OFF my phone, downgrade my firmware to something Lollipop can work with, and try a Lollipop-era ROM (not ideal), or
3)Go back to stock and hope Sprint pushes down an update my phone can use.
After going through all that, does anyone reading this have a recommendation for which of these options would be best (and how to go about them), or possibly offer other ideas I haven't come up with during the week and a half I've been researching and trying to fix it myself? I'm not hellbent on any particular option, I just want my phone to work (all of it) without constant crashes and glitches. Thank you to anyone who read all that and is still moved to offer help!

If you can run lollipop based roms you'd be on Lollipop firmware.
If you're going to mess around with aftermarket software you need s-off. If you don't s-off then you are risking unrecoverable bricks.

Okay, so if I'm on Lollipop firmware, would it stand to reason that that's why I'm having trouble running Marshmallow ROMs, including the stock ROM from Sprint? If so, what's the best (and safest) way to update it?
