I've flashed both the 1.0 and 2.0 energy roms in the last couple days, and keep having the same problem. When it resets, it goes through the initial configuration stuff again...
I had a problem around the same time where it stopped reading my sd card, but that was fixed by formatting the card.
Then it wouldn't read a RAPHIMG.nbh off the card, bootloader would say "no image file" or something before going to "serial". I fixed that by reflashing HardSPL.
Now it sees the SD, and can flash off it, and has a fresh flash of HardSPL, and a fresh flash of energyROM, but when I reset the rom, (sometimes) it still wants to redo the initial configuration and WIPE ALL MY DATA... AGAIN!!!!
Thank god for PIMBackup, but I really want my phone to be usable again...
maybe you should try flashing through active sync.
Maybe you should post in correct thread?
what phone and operator are you using?
It's an AT&T fuze...
Not sure what the correct thread for this would be as it's happened across a couple roms (granted both energyROMs)
I'm trying NATF 4.6 right now, flashed over activesync, but I'm pretty sure one of the times it happened in the last few days was after an activesync flash. Maybe not though. We'll see, I'm trying to install stuff and restart it a few times to try to get it to happen.
Reflash a stock rom and then flash the EnergyRom back.
Hello
Question do You Have Any Music On your SD?
As DUMB as this may sound i was having a Similar issue a few months back...
My Phone kept Doing Random resets...
Things i did that fixed the issue...
-I Did a LOW LEVEL Format On my Micro sd Card
-Scanned My PC For Corrupt music Files using a Program called MP3 SHIELD
This seemed to fix the issue for me...i haven't had a problem since...
It makes sense because Corrupt Music Files Wreak Havok on an ipod...and our phones scan for new music in the background every now and then...
not sure if it's the same problem but hope it helps...
ohh and one more thing...if you use Active Sync to restore Data You had on your phone...Contacts, files...etc keep on eye on what files are being replaced one of those files can be causing an issue...
my advice is to just clean it completely out...sd, phone etc...new flash...
and only have the absolute necessary...like contacts etc...
run a few days like that and see if you do have the issue if not...then add some more...and go another few days...and so on...
it may be time consuming but it can narrow down the problem...
Hope i was Some help!
and Good Luck dude
Okay, so I don't know if my SD card was hosed or what, did a reformat from disk management into FAT32, 4096 byte sector size. It would flash from SD again then, but i was still having the resets. I did have some corrupt file name (or maybe it was just the ascii (tm) symbol that did it).
The activesync flash seems to have worked, went to NATF's 4.6 via activesync, it's been working fine. I'm debating going back to EnergyROM, or maybe wait for elite rc4...
The activesync flash or NATF's rom must have overwritten whatever was bad in my phone that wasn't getting overwritten by an energyROM SD flash.
Hope this helps anyone else that experiences similar issues.
Not sure if that counted as a low-level format or not. I don't have any sd formatting apps.

Hello everyone,
Thanks for taking time to help out...
I currently use: HTC HD2
Miri's latest ROM
OS Ver: 5.2.23133
Manila Ver: 2.5.20161
Rom: Elegancia V 3..0 Final WWE
Rom Date: 25/08/2010
Radio Ver: 2.11.50.20
Protocol: 15.40.50.07u
Well the problems are...
1: As i try to use different tabs than homescreen such as Weather or settings or photo or music the HTC Sense stops working and try to restart but it happens almost every time i try to use different tab.
2: When ever i select name from dialing list to send text the text writing area is completely blank and i cant see nor can type anything where i have to soft reset the phone to see if it works and most times it works and sometimes it doesnt.
Well i Did try Using different ROMS but its same...
Some help wud be nice...
Thanks in advance to all.
backup, hard reset. if its the same, task29 then flash the rom again. If its still the same, try a different rom. if its STILL the same, then theres a problem.

just a long shot, if you are a seasoned flasher might be time to format sd card, back up data and give this a try

Could be a bad SD card. I had one awhile back and my Sense would lock up and act weird. I thought I had fried my cell, but it was only the SD card. Power down the cell, remove your SD card and power it up. If it acts normal, then it's the SD card and you gotta buy a new one Starting up without SD card won't mess anything up. Also, if you have a XDA_UC and/or Autoinstall folder where you autoload cabs, it could be you have an old cab in there that's messing up the newly flashed ROM. Good luck!
so this is what happened, i installed a fresh rom, checked the music app and it could read all my music files. then after running antutu benchmark, the music app will show "please insert an sd card".
i tried unmounting and remounting the card but doesnt work.
however, if i go into astro, i can see all the contents of the card and can play music and movies from the app.
does anyone know how to fix this?
reboot maybe?
tried that. doesnt work.
Try clearing the data on the music app. In setting/applications/manage application

so far the only method to make it work is to full wipe and reflash rom. but i was hoping someone would have an asnwer before i do that as a last resort.

Try Reinstalling the App that's giving you the Problem... For Instance if its the Music.apk Go to System/Apps and the Click the App, then when Asked to Install just Select Yes! Or try using Titanium Backup to Make a Backup, then Uninstall/Reinstall... See if that Works, I'm Curious to hear if that Helps...

I think we might both be having the same problem...my Music app can't find any music, and my Gallery app can't find any pictures!
Someone told me to reformat my sd card (which was a two-hour chore) and re-load all my files, but that didn't help. Like yourself, the only way I've been able to fix the problem is to flash a rom from scratch, but the problem invariably returns.
Is your Gallery app able to see any of your pics?
I'm extremely anxious to find a cure, as Ive been living with this problem for about three weeks now..

What's with you and capital letters... seriously...
Anyway, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem.
First, try clearing data in the app like suggesting before. Go to settings, applications, (system or downloaded apps), select the music app, and clear data.
If that doesn't work, try removing the music.apk (or whatever music app you're using) from /system/app/ and reboot. Get one from your ROM and put that in /system/app/ and reboot. If it ever worked on your ROM, it should work now.
If for some reason even that won't work, it sounds like a kernel/device/SD Card problem. Device/SDcard would be extremely unlikely because if it works in root explorer, it should work in Music. Even a kernel issue sounds unlikely, but you should try flashing the kernel the ROM came with to be sure.
That should fix it, but if any of those don't, chances are getting a new music player app should detect the SD card. Uninstall your original music app from /system/app/ and install google music from the market. This should definitely fix the problem if the other stuff didn't work.
If it STILL doesn't detect the SD card, try reformatting the SD card.

Can't speak for the OP, but for my own part I've already tried everything you suggested (as I stated, I've been wrestling with this for several weeks now), with no joy. And the problem recurs regardless of rom or kernel, or any particular combination thereof (and I've tried LOTS of rom/kernel combos).
Clearing data from the app didnt work. also tried going to system/app to reinstall the app. cannot install. shows a error parsing package message.
@oldjackbob
yeah, my gallery isnt functioning as well.
edit:
by the way, reflashing the kernel didnt fix the issue.

So our phones are acting like there might be some kind of system flag that somehow keeps getting set to the wrong state by a custom rom or kernel (or rom/kernel combo), and the only way to reset the flag is by flashing a rom (any rom) again. But eventually the flag gets bumped to the wrong condition again, and clearing caches or re-installing apps doesn't fix the flag setting.
Is there anyone out there who might be able to make any sense out of a debug dump if I was to generate one? Such a person would need to let me know exactly how to get a dump of info for them.
Sure hope someone with more brains than myself can help us through this!
If anyone else is having the same problem that the OP and I are having, please speak up..
TIA

I has an sd scare last week where recovery wouldn't read it. This was after removing the sd, inserting into a reader on my comp to mess with files, and reinstalling into phone. Booted into recovery to flash an update I had just made on comp and put into sd from comp - but recovery wouldn't read it. So I (oddly) had to pull the sd again, reinsert, reboot to OS, reboot to recovery, and it worked, thankfully. Unrelated, but it was my sd story
I'm curious as well. What rom are you guys on???

Kind thanks, Duce. I'm at work right now so I won't be able to get a logcat until I get home this evening, but here's my current phone setup:
Currently on Warm2.3 Sense3.5 r52 (damn, I love this rom!) and Tiamat Sense kernel (early 1.03 I believe). I was hoping this rom might immunize me from the problem, but apparently not. Currently running System Tuner Pro, but when the problem first appeared I was running System Tuner free. Baseband 0.97.10.0808, PRI 1.24_003, PRL 21081. Rooted via the Revolutionary exploit, hboot 1.04.2000, Eng S-off RL. TWRP 1.0.3 recovery (I don't care for the capacitive buttons on 1.1.1). Running a 32GB class 10 sd card, low-level formatted it last night and restored all my files, but that made no change from before. Prior to that, I tried pulling the sd card from its slot and re-inserting it, that didn't work either.
When the problem first occured I think I was running one of chad's Infected kernels (not saying the kernel caused the problem). I've played with a number of his undervolt kernels over the last couple of months, very nice kernels, but they always get laggy for me after a few hours (a reboot fixes that for awhile, then it gets laggy again). The problem also occurs now with RCMIX v11 kernel. I think I was running ARHD's 1.1.2 rom when the problem first surfaced, but I can't be sure now (not that the rom caused the problem, either). I was also running xron's rev117 rom for awhile, so maybe I had that one installed then, I just can't remember now. In any case, it doesn't matter what rom or kernel I run now, the problem always pops up eventually, and will only go away with a new rom flash, and will always return again after a day or two.
I've even tried pulling the sd card from its slot and re-inserting it, didn't work.
I'll get a logcat for you this evening, thanks again Duce.

I did a low-level format from the pc, laie. Took two hours to format a 32GB card, lol. Then I reloaded all my files and rebooted the phone, and Gallery and Music apps still weren't working.
Edit: Yes, after the low level format I did a Format SD Card from recovery's Advanced Menu (but that operation took less than a second to complete, if that matters).
Edit: I also tried a Factory Data Reset in settings a few days ago, problem still remained.
You skipped the recovery format step. When my sd card starting acting wacky this always worked for me. But just formatting it threw my pc wouldn't solve my issue. It wasn't untill I formated it threw my recovery did it actually solve the issue. Not saying it will solve yours but it might. So If you have the time I'd suggest format your sd threw your pc and a quick format should suffice. Then before you place your data back on ypur sd put the sd in your phone and format it threw recovery. With no swap no partitions. Then put your data back on and see if that helps. Hope it does.

Yes sir, I did all that (see my edited post above yours). Sorry I didn't answer that earlier.
Edit: I'm fairly certain at this point that the sd card itself isn't the problem. The low level format from the pc does an extremely thorough multiple write/read on every sector (that's why it takes so long to complete).
Besides, the OP and I are both experiencing the exact same multi-faceted malfunction, which suggests some other problem besides a random card defect.
Hello people. I have a 32 GB Wi-Fi only Tab, running seraphimserapis' CM9 preview kang.
I'll dive right into things here. Earlier today, I flashed the above ROM, everything went perfectly, booted up just fine, and got all my apps back up and running. I was using my tab fine for the entire day with no problems to speak of. Later in the day, I began transferring some misc. files (documents, music, etc) to my internal SD card via MTP USB transfer. After the transfer was complete, I unplugged my tab, and went on my merry way. The next time I booted up, everything began FCing on me, and nearly every app I tried to open immediately FCed. Thinking it was a temporary bug, I rebooted my tab, but the same problem persisted, multiple different processes fced upon boot, and almost all my apps would fc as soon as I opened them. After trying a few more times, I gave up, and booted back into CWM (which I can do perfectly fine), cleared cahce and delvik cache, and did a factory reset. This however,seemed to only augment the problem. Upon booting up (after doing that initial tab setup), trebuchet FCes (in a "FC loop", as it continually tries to open), and the tablet is completely unusable. I have tried wiping cache, reformatting and rebooting several times, each time with the same result
I am able to get into settings however, by plugging in the tab, and clicking USB debugging (for whatever reason, settings does not FC), and am able to connect to my internal memory via MTP. When the tab pops up in my computer, it says I have 25 GB out of 28 available GB, but when I click on the folder, it is completely empty. If i try to move files over to my tab, or even create a new folder, I get an error message saying "the device has stopped responding or has been removed". (Pictures below)

http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3395/61277691.jpg
I do not believe this is a problem with the rom for two reasons. (1) no one else has had this problem (to my knowledge), and (2) it was working fine the whole day, until i did that file transfer (that being said, this is my own amateur opinion, which you may choose to completely disregard it in your diagnosis). I am 99% sure I didn't unplug the tab while files were still transferring, but I did not unmount the storage or eject it or anything fancy of that nature before I unplugged it.
My question is, is there any way I can somehow reformat the internal memory of my tab? Otherwise, is there some other possible fix you experts may possibly have? Or am I screwed?
I apologize in advance if you ask me to try something and I cant respond promptly. Its 3AM here and i need to wake up early tomorrow. Thank you in advance
Edit:
I am quite convinced there is some kind of internal memory corruption problem here, but I really am not an expert enough to know for certain. The tablet still boots up fine, but is completely unusable as trebuchet fc loops 90% of the time i reboot the tab. Obviously, the entire thing isnt trashed as it appears to boot and get into the system fine, but I it's still completely unusable from that point on.
I have tried formatting the /data and /cache partitions of the internal memory to no avail. I would try formatting /system, but from my understanding, thats only advisable if you are able to flash a new rom after formatting, but if i cannot write into my internal memory, then there's no way i can flash a new rom. Conveniently enough, I deleted the .zip file for the rom off my internal sd, and i cannot access my clockworkmod recovery from CWM (gives an error, I don't think that would have worked anyway) since the internal sd is (i believe) corrupted. I also tried mounting as USB from CWM, and that also gives an error...
I am clean out of ideas. I'm not sure if this is a completely unfixable problem, or if self repairing is well within the realm of possibility. If someone can shed some light on me that would REALLY be appreciated. Otherwise i might have to send it back to sammy (still under warranty), which i dont mind doing, but if they boot it to find an ICS rom, they probably wont be so keen to repair it...perhaps there's a way to brick it further so they can't tell?
UPDATE 2:
Problem fixed! I still don't have a clue as to what the problem was, but thankfully I managed to escape out of this one. I tried pushing a new ROM via adb, and it worked (apparently), but this just forced me into a boot loop (never hit the homescreen).
As a last ditch effort I pushed the stock ROM, and completely removed root, and it worked. I can now boot up past the spash screen without all all my processes crashing. Really a strange issue, I have my theories, but they're probably blatanly wrong so I'll just keep them to myself. Im just glad I don't have to send it back to sammy... I plan to re-root shortly. I am confident I will get no further issues.
Even though no one helped me directly, it was thanks to the plethora of information available on this forum that I was able to resolve my issue...and for some reason, making a thread where I'm just talking to myself helps a bit too...maybe im just weird. Anyway if anyone's reading this, thanks again xda

I'm hoping you see this reply as its been quite a while since you've had the issue. I'm working with a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket with the same intenal memory corruption/ files system corruption you were facing. I followed what you did regarding push a rom thru adb and that worked for me, but my question is, how did you get the roms to successfully write if you couldnt write to internal memory? My system is mounted as read only apparently and locked itself with whatever I had on there on August 28th. No matter how many times I format, erase, or wipe it, it returns to the same state as if its a deep lock on it.
So yes there have been other threads recommending cleaning/tightening battery connectors, using monitoring programs to assess and alert on things like high temp and process cpu spikes etc... a lot of the time the issues raised have been to with someone only recently acquiring their SGS2, or after having "upgraded" their ROM.
Mine seems not to fit any of those scenarios.
A week ago, I found the phone off, so I switched it on and it bootlooped. Nothing new had installed prior, although the was an update to the ZD Box app which I read had problems, but I'd already uninstalled that. So, I rebooted the phone and it seemed to work fine. But no...
At random times whether the phone has been in my pocket or sitting on the desk, I will find the screen is black and none of the hardware buttons do anything. I have to hold the power button for quite some time before I see the Samsung logo and the phone boots up.
It happens several times a day. Battery/CPU monitoring/stats/alert apps show nothing out of the ordinary. I've uninstalled several recentish apps just in case, and no fix. Cleared all caches, fixed permissions, changed modems, no fix.
I'm now in the process of wiping data and flashing a different ROM (a newer version of illusion-xt to the one I've been using... excellent ROM btw), and I'll see if that solves anything.
What's weird is that I've had this phone for nearly a year and it's only just started happening now.
I'm wondering whether this sort of issue has become common with the SGS2 recently. Anyone else experiencing this, and is there are solution for it?
See how you go with the new rom.
If it's still happening, go back & do a completely clean install of stock; format cache, data, system, & internal sd card then flash stock rom in Odin (don't install any apps at all) & run that for a few days. If it's still happening on a relatively 'clean' stock phone, that probably indicates a hardware issue. Could be something simple like the battery, could be the USB/charging circuitry problem we see on here a bit or some other hardware problem.
See how you go with it & post back here.

Followed your recommended steps with the newer ROM. Seemed to be good for a day. I then found my phone off again while it was sitting next to me. I had just installed an app (from "untrusted" sources) just prior to this. So I uninstalled that. Found my phone off again a few minutes ago. This time the phone was hot and about 20% of the battery had drained.
Think I need to do another wipe of everything (except external SD) in case that app was the culprit?
[got a I9100]
if i were you i do this....
save my video/mp3.. stuff
remove microsd
remove sim
using cwm format system, data cache, dalvik, sdcard/emmc (depends on your cwm)
using odin flash a GB rom (i usually go with LA2 / JPLPC [ICS])
after first boot and few minutes dial *2767*3855#
next boot ill setup google account but will not do auto restore / untick auto restore.
shutdown remove battery put the simcard and see how it goes for a day or 2
It's switched off three more times today. The last time it happened the app "Battery Monitor Widget" alerted a "Voltage out of range" warning.
So far nothing's ever gone wrong while the phone is charging.
I may try formatting as has been suggested, but I think I'll try using a new battery first.
Please forgive my daftness as it seems I've misunderstood the instructions here.
Upon booting into CWM Recovery (I have v5.0.2.7) and navigating to "Mounts and Storage" I've discovered what you both mean by "format" in your instructions.
Would this mean following the Gingerbread section of the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 is what I need to do to get up and running, and then continue with the remaining instructions in this thread?

Would this mean following the Gingerbread section of the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 is what I need to do to get up and running, and then continue with the remaining instructions in this thread?

I have had this issue with certain ROMs in the past where I would get a black screen and no response from the hardware buttons. I found that on installing the ROM everything worked fine. Then I would go ahead and restore my apps, still everything was fine.... but once I configured Exchange sync I would run into the issue. My only option was to go back to a ROM that I knew worked on my device correctly.
In reply to your question above, If you have a ROM downloaded that you can flash in CWM then so long as it is stored on your SDCard you can format the system, data, internal SD and wipe cache, delvik cache from CWM. In doing this I would recommend making sure you know exactly what "internal SD" CWM is talking about. To be sure you could remove your SD card. I made the mistake of formatting the wrong card once and spent the next day recovering the data from it.
If you have the same issue with a new ROM then i'd recommend going back to a stock ROM using the link you posted.
Hope this helps.
I took my sdcard and sim out and rebooted just so I could see what would show up in the file manager. It would seem like there are no apps or mp3's or pics or anything "additional" available.
Strange as I don't recall ever using app to SD, and I could've sworn I saved at least a few MP3s and pics to the phone.
Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. Where would I normally find my app folders without the sdcard being present?
Ahh... so once you put the sim in (but still without sdcard) apps folders show up in "/sdcard"
hmm... does this sound correct?
why are you making things difficult?
put your sdcard back, open file browser goto sdcard dcim
you will find pics and videos there if they are saved on your phone storage. copy them to micro sdcard.
simple
if you are on aosp rom than the structure is little different
PS: doesn't matter your sim is in or out.
Stock ROM
/sdcard
/sdcard/external_sd
AOSP ROM
/sdcard
/emmc
As instructed I formatted partitions, installed latest official ICS ROM (for Australia) from sammobile.com using ODIN. Didn't install any apps. Didn't sync. I still have the "black-screen-freeze" at least once a day for several days. Today it's done it 5 times already. Sometimes I find the phone is hot, sometimes not, and a couple of times I've found the battery drained as well.
I can't seem to find a standard pattern that's reproducible.
What now?
I'm currently using sgs2 with stock gingerbread.
My problem is, my phone seems to be locked on a specific state dated march 3rd 2013.
whenever i format usb storage or reboot my phone, it always back the way it was
e.g. when i tried to un/install apps or deleting files (succesfully), and then i rebooted it, the apps or files are still there such way unharmed.
i remember its somewhat like deep frezee. but usually, something like this only works on settings right?
its really nonsense when i deleted 8 gigs of file then i do a format/reboot, the 8 gigs files came up again like nothing has happened.
Already tried factory reset and unchecked restore backup settings.
Never faced something like this before, help is much appreciated
Sound like a problem with the rom, best thing you can do is backup everything (data) and do a complete wipe through recovery and flash a clean rom again. Very strange but have never (in all my experiece of IT etc) come across stuck dates and data that wont dissapear.
Edit: maybe this is a damaged or corrupt filing system? Still, the fix for tha would to be a complete format.

before this, a had an issue with the sd card, it suddenly went corrupt and cant be read anywhere. maybe this is one of the factors too?
i do planned reflashing it with jelly bean, but i'm still curios what has caused this so i can prevent and understand the problem..
my phone cant make new memories as well, new files are nowhere to be found after reboot.
thanks for the reply jl10101
btw this reminds me of memento
