Hi everyone, as you know I am a little cooker for our devices ( although my roms are only for french users ) but I like to share with you some generics bug and solution found during my multiples cook/flash/use of the phone.
So here is what I found for curious lockups/reset/freeze solution and cause :
- Don't restore anything else than contact with pimbackup, otherwise, HTCMessaging would crash randomly and your device random reboots too...
- I your device keeps freezing and reboots randomly, tis could be the SDCard Filesystem to be corrupted, I have this case when flashing with SDcard in the phone, noticed it was corrupted because without the card the phone never reboots, in this case, remove SDcard, backup files on a computer, full format the card on the computer, put data back on card and sd card in the phone, enjoy.
For now that's all I have noticed with weird bugs, I someone here experienced this and can confirm or put his bug/solution, just post it!
Thank you for reading, and sorry for my bad approximative english.

I've read upon the DAMAGED SD CARD problem with android, but most of the phone becomes virtually unusable, mine says it's damaged but market works, and I can install apps to phone memory, even with APPS2SD enabled. If I try and copy my files to the computer, it stops halfway with 'perimeter incorrect', glad I did a backup like 1 week ago. Funny thing is, in recovery the SD card is fine, I can make backups, I even tried to repair SD Ext Partition, no luck.
Its probably Android thinking it's damaged without it really being so. Totally confused since I warning/error is on the ongoing notification. Also when I go into the SD card & phone storage shows information as unavailable and SD information widgets can't read it either. I don't mind formatting and copying everything over, but it kinda works, but android thinks it's corrupted or something. Very weird. Also I did nothing out of the ordinary, but with computers or machines random errors can occur. I had the partition in place for a 3 weeks now, installed MCR 3.1 couple of weeks ago and using it pretty much like this, but since the WIFI hanged (kept saying it's turning off but being stuck) I rebooted and the message came up.
Is it possible to fix it how it is? Or shall I just re-format and copy everything again. I'm just worried it may happen again.
Sd card isnt working after xCyanogenPro - Floyo - v3.2.1 flash i get message you can now remove your card when i plug it in. It worked before the flash
Sorry to tag onto your thread, but I didn't want to start a new one and create clutter just because the one thread that would be useful to post in is locked to new accounts :|
Ho hum. Anyways...
I'm running the 3.3 ROM and it's pretty much solid except for an annoying reboot bug which seems to tie into the issue you're having. I have no idea how to troubleshoot it, but it seems that the only time my phone every crashes and reboots with this ROM is after it displays a message saying it's safe to remove my SD card.
My SD card never gets removed as it has my Apps2SD partition on it, but nonetheless, every so often, that message comes up, the phone locks and then reboots. If you're still having this issue after upgrading to 3.3, maybe the two are connected somehow?
I guess only the devs can answer that!
Hello,
I had similar problem when I flash CM6, and lot of reboot, so I removed app2sd partition and reformat a new partition, since that no more issues.
Think to copy your files before formatting.
Hey guys. Got a question here.
I recently installed litening rom with ke7 kernel and it seems that if i use mass memory mode to access my phone while in usb debugging my phone willl reboot when disconnecting.
I never had that problem before. I need usb mass storage mode but what I dont need is for my phone to reboot when I use it. lol.
Anywho ... just wondering if anyone else has that prpblem or if anyone knows a solution
Thanks.
I haven't had that problem at all. Only two hardware things I can think of that can cause that problem though. Either you have a defective phone or you have a defective microSD-card.
Could of course also be an issue with the custom rom you installed or a bad flash.
Hmm, I was thinking it had something to do with the custom rom since it started doing it after I flashed and started messing with the framework and build.prop files.
It freezes after the media scanning completes.
I dont have a memory card in it, just using internal memory.
Wondering if I should backup the internal memory, format it - then copy everything back.... might be a problem with the internal memory.
Its just not remounting properly.
I truly hope its not damaged memory....
Another thing that could be causing issues is Titanium backup.
I froze allot of bloatware.
More than likely the rom test with a stock rom .
jje
ya, I found the problem - corrupted internal memory. It just would not re-mount due to a srewed up file system.
I just copied everything to my PC, reformatted it - then copied everything back - rebooted and it works now.
Seems that the ROM and some memory optimizations I did screwed up the apps2sd part of Gingerbread. Some of the apps that transferred duplicated so there was problems mounting....
Thanks so much for the help guys,

Thanks! I faced the same issue. In USB debugging mode, it wasn't a problem when connecting the USB storage. Only after disconnecting the USB storage, the phone auto-rebooted.
This is what that happened that caused that: Unfortunately while flashing the last restore, my phone dropped on the floor. The USB was connected, battery hadn't fallen out and I saw that CWM was still running. So I thought luckily nothing bad had happened. After restoring the phone rebooted normally and everything was fine. BUT after that incident my phone started rebooting every time I disconnected USB storage.
I was searching for this issue in xda and came across this thread. When I read the phrase "bad flash", it struck me what the problem was. I restored the same good restore copy and that auto rebooting problem has gone away.
UPDATE: The issue is still not fixed, the auto reboot is happening again. Please help.
Hi,
I have Galaxy S3 running CM10.1 Siyah Kernel (problem has occured over several months of various CM10.1 nightlies) and I just cannot figure out why the following is happening. Please read the thread carefully because I've ensured that every sentence contains details which should be important clues to the root of the problem.
Sometimes following reboot, the phone completely refuses to read my memory card. In this state, the phone does not give me the Unmount option, but when I remove the memory card directly then it does show the 'Removed SD card in the' notification. Now if I insert it again, it shows 'Preparing SD card' in the notification and this notification doesnt go away by itself (which it should if the mount is successful) and the card does not mount. This situation does not change no matter how many times I repeat the process. After several attempts, I get the ongoing 'Damaged SD Card' notification. Dozens of reboots dont help either.
After loads of trial-and-error's, I have concluded that almost everytime that this issue has occurred was when the memory card was in-use (playing songs etc. Accessing anything off the memory card basically), although on rare occasions it has also occurred when no apps were in use at all. This gets me to believe that the software is failing to properly release some kind of lock on the memory card before rebooting.
Now the only way to get the memory card working again on the cellphone is to put it in my laptop memory card reader, and it can instantly read the memory card. Now if I safely remove the memory card from my laptop and insert it in the S3, then it always mounts on the first go. Now it will work perfectly again, until some completely random time (usually at least 1 week away) when it will start its problem again.
Also note that whenever this problem occurs, Developer Options does not load and crashes.
I want to reiterate that this is not repeatable each time. Even if the conditions are exactly the same (well, as far as I can see as an end user anyway), the problem will very likely just occur in just 1 out of the 50 attempts.
I have already got the memorycard+sim card slot replaced from samsung under warranty. I have also paid extra to buy the SanDisk memory card from SanDisk themselves based in the Czech Republic - so it is extremely unlikely that it is hardware fault.
Can anyone shed some light on this situation? Feel free to ask for any clarifications, I have tried to put as much information as possible.
Thanks
Make a nandroid, flash a stock rom and test again. Format the card using sd formatting tool first.
If that cures it then ask your kernel or rom chef for help.
I have a samnsung S5 Plus with Lineage built nightly, the phone restarts quite often, (it could be a problem with the touch, or heating ?). That is why I don't keep the back cover on so I can remove the battery when it gets in that crazy loop and I did that often. (I'm using this phone only at home, so the battery doesnt really fall unexpectedly)
This time I was browsing the internet and tried to post an ad with captha, the phone got quite hot, and I turned it off. Its possible that I removed the battery before it went completely off, and that could be an issue if Android was writing something to disk. But I'm using the card as external storage (no apps installed on it) and I dont understand if the system was writing anything to disk exactly at that moment. Or if there could be any other problem?
When I turned my phone on the microSD card (1 year old, barely used) is not recognized ("the disk inserted was not readable by this computer), both my phone and my macbook ask to format or initialize it.
I don't know what data I lost, and dont know if any data could be recovered, but I'd like to know what you think.
You could recover it but it would be very hard to. I think the SD card is corrupted
I tried data recovery software but no file found, I dont know if I should insist to try other software.
I don't remember if I had important files, there were 15GB, but a lot of backups and install files.
Now I trie dto see if I can format the card but thats no longer an option
"Unable to write to the last block of the device"
I even tried to use some tricks to write zeros first and then to format but that does not work.
Its the first memory that I ever break. And it was new. I dont know if its my fault or its manufacturer's fault...
