Hello,
I have owned a Sprint Galaxy S III since August of 2012 and have been using it pretty much flawlessly until this week.
To give some history, I rooted it once it became a common thing to do and have CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4.
I have loaded many different roms - cyanogenmods, m.o.a.r., wicked, miui to try out and many others and have never had an issue.
I recently upgraded to M.O.A.R. v 6.0 at home and everything seemed great - loaded apps, settings, etc. The next day on the way to work, the phone restarted by itself. I thought was strange but chalked it up to a new rom issue. When I got to work, the frequency of the issue increased to the point that the phone was no longer usable as it would just continue to restart, boot, etc.
Restoring the rom I previously had did nothing to help the issue.
I looked up online at possibilities and came across the SD card issue. I replaced it, but still occurs. I've tried a few different roms and no matter what, it seems to continuously boot and restart based on certain locations that I am in or am passing through.
Today, I turned off 4G LTE as preferred mobile network and it seemed to keep the phone on. I have not done extensive testing, but could this be an issue? I am able to use 4G LTE at home with no problem as well as other areas, but it seems that once I am in or pass through certain locations, that it is crashing my phone? Maybe the GPS?
Are there any tips or suggestions of what I can do or try? I am at a loss as to how to fix this when it has not been an issue up until this week after flashing to MOAR v6.0. I've wiped data, cache, dalvik, many times and retried but still is happening.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
At first it sounded like sudden death syndrome (a power button failure) but when you said turning off 4G fixed it that is very weird. Have you tried asking in the M.O.A.R thread?

Are you restoring any System Data ? I would suggest doing a Clean install. Meaning a FULL Wipe : System - Data - Dalvik - Dalvik Cache - Factory Reset ( 3x's ) . I also like to wipe Internal Storage. But that's up to you. Then Flash the Rom, and let it Boot. Do not load anything, or tweak anything. Just leave the device alone for the first 5min. Then test it to be sure everything is working correctly before loading apps, or doing any settings.
Just to update...
I clean installed MOAR 6 again - this time I upgraded CWM to latest version. I clean wiped data/cache, cache, dalvik about 3 or 4 times. Once it reinstalled, I noticed the data wasn't working at all so I did that ##72786# (forgot numbers off top of head) that reactivated phone. The data came back and I thought this was going to solve all the issues...keep in mind I did all this in the evening from home last night.
On the way to work this morning, sure enough once I got in the vicinity of work, phone restarted a few times. I was quick enough to catch it one time to turn preferred mobile networks to 3G first and disable 4G... my phone has not restarted for the rest of the day.
It's great that it seems the issue is isolated to 4G, but I don't understand how it can be fine in some areas and not in others. For instance, at home, 4G works just fine.
I think I will try to go back to stock or try an aosp rom. I've seen in some places talk of MB1 and MD4...is there a way to tell which I have or is that related to anything?

Actually, yes - I have been putting my gmail account information in and it has been syncing the apps. It's just so odd because I haven't had issues for over a year and I don't recall installing any new stuff.
well, now it happened at home when turning on 4g... damn.

You did not mention wiping system. If you do not Wipe system, and also Factory Reset then it's really not a Clean install. I would still suggest a FULL Wipe, and Clean install. Then run the Device for a while without adding anything. See how it performs.
I ended up just flashing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 to stock with flash reset.
I am not sure about wiping system - I always just follow the steps of the rom wipe data/cache/dalvik. I will have to research on how to wipe system.
If you never wipe system you are definitely going to run into problems.

You just do it in Recovery before you flash. If you look at my Sig on a PC / Internet Mode there is a link on how to do Full Wipe before flashing a Rom.

Good day!
Has anyone noticed that their HTC 10 has suddenly become laggy after updating to the latest firmware? I'm on stock. Everything was working fine until I updated. After a day or two of use, the phone became laggy/"stutter-y" to the point if unresponsive. I haven't performed any hard reset yet as I don't want to reinstall a ton of apps and restore their settings. :crying:
I just reset the device to regain control of the phone.
I observed same behavior too
I've just wiped the cache partition. I'll keep you updated.
So about a few years ago, I tried to root my galaxy note 4 (n910aucu2doi3), but I guess it rejected the root because it instantly bricked my phone, to the point where I had to completely wipe it using android recovery. The only way to get my operating system back was to download it online and install it through my PC (I had to find the exact version for my phone as well, 5.1.1 at the time, because it rejected every single other version).
Everything seemed to be working fine, except that I couldn't install software updates on my phone anymore. It was permanently stuck on 5.1.1. It was a bit of an annoyance but I didn't think much of it at the time.
Fast forward to now, and I'm getting several signs that my OS may be corrupted. My phone is constantly freezing, crashing and restarting. Maneuvering through applications causes the phone to freeze for a few seconds before either restarting or crashing the app. I want to say it's definitely a software issue, but I did install a new battery recently and it was working fine for a few weeks, could that be the issue?
If not, I want to start over, but I'm not sure how, and I don't know if it's safe to do a factory reset on this OS. Is there anyway I can get a fresh stock version of an android OS that can also update?
Any help is appreciated, I'm pretty much desperate.
I manually updated to 6.0.1 with the help of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/updates-thread-t3663943
It seems to have fixed the issues so far, and my phone can automatically update again
Anybody else with this problem? My 6 Pro gets soft bricked with the
SD1A.210817.036.
It loses the signal (Tmobile) then restarts to recovery saying
“Cannot Load Android System. Your Data May Be Corrupt” It gives me the option to "Try again." or to "Factory data reset."
Device Completely stock
This is what I have done
1
Try Again (Same behavior)
2
Factory Reset (Multiple times), would let me finish the setup but as soon restores my data and apps happens all over again.
3
Sideload Rescue OTA (SD1A.210817.036.) same ****
4 now with heavy weapons
Unlocked bootloader, manually flashed factory images (Unlocked) the factory image it's an older version but seems to work perfectly (I'm able to set up and restore my data, but the phone automatically downloads the OTA update and the same thing all over.
5
Got a device replacement (Hella lucky they had my device in stock)
6
Different new Pixel 6 Pro Same behavior as soon the OTA hits and finishes to restore my apps.
7
Tried Manually flash, use the online google tool with different builds (tried the Tmobile stock)
Always the same problem.
There's any way to wipe/repartition only the System portion? I remember having something similar back in the days with an S2 and was able to fix it with a Reflashing of the PIT partition through Odin
Any suggestions?
Only thing I see consistent is the data being restored. That data could be corrupted. Not sure if that's possible. Try setting up as new device or from a different backup.
I think"new device" is the way to go. Over the years I've found some apps don't work with a new update.
Points 5 and 6 suggest that it's something to do with your data and app restore causing the issue.
How modified was your previous device?
Just got my Pixel 6 Pro yesterday. I have had to restore 3 times. The first two were from a back up and the third time, from scratch and the same thing is happening. It took a while for the third time to happen (over night and a few hours into the day) and I thought I was safe and put a screen protector on and then bam! Just before it happens I get a lot of the Google apps like phone app and some heat app crashing, then it reboots and says Android is corrupt.
Corrupted data error message after December update
Hi! Is everyone else here struggling with Corrupted data error message after December update? Pixel asks to wipe data, but even if you do, it still do the same on the next reboot. There's Reddit thread about that going on:
forum.xda-developers.com
Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on a fix? I need my phone for my business, and this is severly hampering it right now. My phone is currently locked for the next hour. It won't even let me restart by normal means. A hard restart worked, but it reset the timer from 53 minutes back to 60 minutes.
60 minutes passed, and I was able to unlock it. Currently have swipe to unlock/0 security on it, which isn't ideal, because now I can't have my work email on it. I guess I'll just roll with it that way until the next software update or until someone finds a fix.
some app may be the culprit
try to uninstall latest installed apps
also try to reset all settings
last resort: factory reset with full data wipe
I'd try wiping cache partition from recovery and if still the same odin a stock firmware then last resort factory reset
Pretty sound advice already given. I had a similar issue with an update in the past and was able to get it back with a Cache Wipe via Bootloader. I almost reset it, but I did a cache wipe, booted phone like normal, used it for an hour and wiped again. No more stuttering or locking up and I didn't have to factory reset.
Not an identical situation, but worth a try.
