now odin show pass but system cannot started repeat restarting

What files did you use in Odin, only pda or all four? (cooper, csc, modem...)

it's one pack installation, GT-S5830_XEN_S5830XWKS2_S5830XENKS1_S5830XWKS2, Netherland Stock 2.3.5. Finally I install it, but now I have unexpected restarts, turn off etc. Can I fix this with odin with earlier version or something (anything) similar? History of updates: Stock 2.2.1. then 2.3.3 also stock, then cyanogen mod 7.1 rc1 (worked properly first time, but I uninstalled that, it was only for see benefits of CM ROM) and finally i flash again 2.3.5. and (yes, i'm fool) again CM7 RC1 and then started my problems, restarting etc. and when I try to flash 2.3.5. stock then happened problem with Odin.

You need to flash a full package file , not one package because one package will not convert your file system back to rfs , which will cause bootloops

I did this, stock 2.3.3... Can I now flash one package 2.3.5, without risk?

OK, thanks. I'm now on offical 2.3.3. for my service provider- Telenor. Sometimes phone still turn off, or restarting. Is there chance that the phone was defective when it was purchased, a month ago? when I bought it, just seven days after that I wore it to a service provider because the often rebooted and then it was on version 2.2.1. They returned it to me with version 2.3.3. and told me that it happens because I have some time to full battery. Although I empty the battery to 0% and then filled to 100%, problems were again resumed. Since I have over Odin and FUS downloader downloaded new version 2.3.3. whether the service can see that I changed the software in the meantime?

that sudden reboot is called sod, shortform for sleep of death. it occur when u connecting with known wifi ap, then u go out of range and the device try to reconnect. try to set ur wifi sleep policy to "never" and only turn the wifi on only when u need to use it. btw i managed to solve my sod problem using wififixer. search for it in market, its a free app.
if ur not even connected to wifi, then just ignore my post.

Sometimes this happens when WiFi is on, but can also happen when it is not turned on. Today, for example, when I sync contacts from social networks through HSDPA network,phone restarts, even he would not get involved until I took out the battery

[Q] Samsung Galaxy s Vibrant stuck on galaxy screen

Okay so my phone decided to do a force close on everything that i tried to do so I turned it off and tried to turn it back on again but all i was getting was the galaxy screen flash up and then it would turn black.
I flashed with Odin 3 times now and it says that it was successfull but when i go to turn the phone on it reboots and says that the data wipe has failed and then continues to flash the galaxy screen and then black. Can someone please help. I am a noob and haven't done anything but flash my phone.
The answers you are going to get are to odin back to stock, however ive had this problem and to get past it I had to do a factory wipe all data in the recovery menu then it booted. You lose all data. Before you do that try cycling the phone through restarts with battery pulls, I had another issue where doing this kicked me into normal boot after about 18 tries. I'm no expert but this is how I got fixed. Mine was a busy box issue it was never installed right
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yeah, i agree w/ kcp about the battery pull... I would try this to see if you can get your system up and running, so that way you can dl Titatium Backup and Rom Manager. I had a problem on mine that would not let me reinstall packages and then it would never leave recovery, but after i pulled the battery, rebooted, and downloaded rom manager, i found that it was the same issue as kcp (busy box had to be updated). I don't understand why, after you re-flashed the Rom w/ odin it is not working.... did you flash 2.1 or 2.2? Remember, after you flash with odin you need to wipe data and chached memory, then reboot (maybe a battery pull). Try to give more info about exactly how you flashed w/ odin.
Also my titanium says it downloads busy box but doesn't had to go get it from the market and put it in the x bin you might want to do the same when it boots to be safe.

How do i know if i flashed with 2.1 or 2.2? How do you wipe data and cached memory? I turned it back on after i flashed and it showed that it was rebooting and wiped the cached memory but the data wipe failed.
also, my phone is not unlocked
Update: I flashed with 2.2 but I did not know that it was for tmobile. I am with bell. Now i can't get it to go into download mode so that I can flash with the right rom. It also won't charge when plugged in. Am i going to have to just get a new phone?
anything on this yet? mine is cycling aswell and cant get it into DL mode ;(

Help. My galaxy ace keeps restarting itself.

Recently my phone has just been restarting itself allot and it is getting very annoying. The phone would just be sitting beside me and the next thing I see is the Samsung boot screen. It never restarts when I'm using the phone. Just when it's standing by.
I was thinking an emergency firmware recovery through Samsung kies might work. But I'm afraid of losing my apps. If I do this will the apps be removed or will they be there just as usual?
Current android version that i have is gingerbread 2.3.3
Thanks for any help or advice in advance
For me i would back up all my app to the computer (music,videos,pics,apps etc.) and then update.

i doubt there would be firmware recovery available from kies [who uses kies this days].. as your last firmware installation was total there wont be recovery....
if you choose to root [your choice]... you can backup your apps and then try to do anything.... if you just need to backup apks then use AppMonster.. this will just backup apks not whole data with them
try to flash stock firmware with odin again
This hasnt been brought up recently since a lot of the active users here uses CM7 nowadays, so I'm guess that this is simply SOD(sleep of death) caused by wifi.
You might resolve this by turning off the wifi when ure not using it.
When I turn WiFi off, it still restarts itself, all the time

Phone restarting with cyanogen mod
I flashed cyanogen mod on my phone and there were no problems until last week. The phone hasn't been restarting just not waking up. Then I have to pull the battery out to get it to go again. My phone can't go 24 hours without we having to restart it once or twice .
Is there any way to fix this. Thanks

thanks for your suggestion but I've already tried reflashing it. through Odin and clockwork recovery. Both giving the same result.
I am following the instructions to flash exactly but still restarts.
sorry for your problem man, but i didn't face such problem.. i'm flash and using almost all of custom ROMs available from various devs.. use them at least a week and its nice..
try flashing it again using cwm 5, may be it will solve your prob.. currently i'm using nims11 infinity v2..
CWM5
Where do you get cwm for galaxy ace. I have version 4 and that might be causing problems with the updated cyanogenmod.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions!
Is the installation just the same as other versions?
boot in recovery mode and install update from sd?
If I can get cwm 5 from somewhere, I'll give it a go!
If I have cyanogenmod already installed with cwm 4 can I install cwm 5 and not worry about it, or will I need to reflash cyanogen again?
try flashing cwm 5, n then, flash cm7 again..

You flashed cm7.2 with cwm4??Flash cwm5 and then try a reflash of cm7
I've flashed cwm5 then wiped the phone using it then I flashed cyanogenmod, (the one from the xda forums at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292 )
There was no problems, I restored all my apps using titanium backup. Then just a few minutes before this post I came to my phone and it wouldn't light up. (Sleep of death I think you call it?) I had to pull the battery out to get it to go again.
It was plugged into the charger at the time
Bluetooth was on
Wifi was off
Mobile internet was on
Before I locked the screen it was syncing gmail. (This probably isn't a problem)
I have the 'all apps movable to sd card' thing checked in cyanogenmod settings to.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Chris.

[Q] Experiencing random reboots

After sometime my cell phone is rebooting all times.
If it goes idle and I press the button to wake it, it reboots.
I've used some custom roms including CM7.
After I restored to my original firmware which is Claro Brazil, it keeps rebooting all time .
Anyone know what can I do? I even sent it to motorola and they don't do a thing. All they say is that it don't have any defect .
Thank you
Jayson
Did it start rebooting after you after you restored to the original firmware,
or did you restore to the original firmware to try to fix the reboots?:

I've flashed that build of ICS of dev thread and it seems to be rebooting less times.
How did you flash the rom?
Are you using romracers recovery?
Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom?
You might make sure you have romracers latest recovery,
and then run this script for a full wipe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421261&highlight=moto-fastboot+script
and then load a new rom and see if that fixes it.
You can also flash the Kernel and the radio too.

First I installed IHOP_Bell.sbf with sbf_flash to be able to unlock with moto-fastboot. After that did install CWM.
All my roms are installed with CWM with its cache/data and stuff wipe.
How can I know the right kernel and radio for me?
Same for me. I think this is a radio issue, where can we find lastest radio? Do we need to flash it like rom via RR CWM?
Thanks.
I get random reboots all the time. I was thinking it was a problem with wireless or bluetooth... Last time it rebooted was this morning, I docked it before going to bed, and 5 minutes later i hear the double-ding of it mounting internal storage at boot. At the time it wasn't running anything but the dock-widget clock.
I've had it reboot while on the bus listening to music with the phone in my pocket, I've had it reboot while docked and sitting idle, but youtube and flash are the real killers while actually using the phone, for me at least.
I find it reboots less if I leave wireless and bluetooth off, but what is the good in that?
I've had the random reboots probably since I upgraded to gingerbread, but even moreso after Bell 2.3.6 OTA.
I wonder if there is a way to prevent it from rebooting, so we can see what actually causes it to spontaneously reboot.
Im getting random reboots too, but figured it was from the build of CM7 i'm running (23-Nov. Was thinking of doing a full wipe then reload sometime this week. will report my results.
Hi!
Same thing happened to me. What I did was, I flashed to a different radio for it to be fixed. The stock doesn't seem to work on mine and I can't have signal reception.

Now I'm trying this new Radio:

because I'm pretty sure it is a Radio issue.
I previously had N_01.95.00R wich seems to be an Asian Radio that probably (hopefully) doesn't work properly here.
I will tell you if it will fix the problem.
Hi there,
I also have random reboots on my Atrix.
Till now, I tried to change rom, recovery, reset data factory, use no apps, etc. But it never worked, and the reboots are still happening without any logical explanation.
I'm also thinking about a Radio problem, mine is : N_01.100.00R
I'll try changing it this evening, maybe it will fix things.
I'm trying a new radio too.
It didn't reboot yet.

Every rom causes problems, freezes......

Hi there,
i tried a lot of word combinations to get a thread with my specific problem but i didnt manage it to find one.
So here is the deal:
i have german galaxy s 2 (9100, bought in september 2011) and i flashed it last year with darkyrom HD something gingerbread-style.
so it was rooted and all that stuff.
it worked pretty fast and it was stable and it looked sleak.
Last year in November i put Ressurrection remix 3.x (dont know which version of it) on my phone.
It had a lot of crashes, freezes and while playing ingress it always drained around 20% of the battery within 10-20minutes.
So i stopped it. I put the last version of it 3.1.3. of it onto my phone with a full wipe, cache partition, factory reset onto my phones and the problems went keep going.
As an example:
-I couldnt access options where i can select ringtones or to see what is on the sd. it crashed and went back to the "main screen".
-Yesterday i tried around 15 roms, and nearly everything except militant rom keep crashing while iam installing them.
-Sometimes it crashes already while iam installing the rom, sometimes its after a couple of hours, that i cant access the rom any more.
-The newest problem is, that sometimes the power button doesnt respond, when i push it (in jelly bam)
Please explain, what iam missing or is my phone just broke?
It never fell down, no water or anything freaking other things.
I hope you can help me.
should i send it back or what is wrong?

if you are rooted, you can try flashing NeatROM lite 4.2 based on LS8 and see how it behaves else flash official JB 4.1.2 using odin.

after cleaning and putting a stock rom on it and afterwards rooting it with cwm still the same problem: boot loop or while the first installation, it crashes.
so what to do?
just hang around with the stupid official one?
If you did everything from Factory reset to changing kernel, and everything is still bad like that. I think that there's something with your phone's hardware.

so everytime, when i want to switch of the screen, i have to wait, or take of the battery. and switching on is only possible with the home button.
whats wrong?
Given you have the same problems on stock, hardware problem. Back to stock, reset counter, send it in for warranty service (if you have warranty), if not, take it to local mobile repair shops.
reseting the counter... with stock? how to do that? i thought this is only possible with root? and i thought, as soon as i root, there is something already on the counter?

You have two option. Either flash a custom kernel (siyah, for example), then reset the counter using triangle away app. Then flash a stock firmware using odin. This wont increase the counter.
Or, if you have a USB jig, flash an older bootloader (have to careful here), then simply plug in the jig.

Unzip first.
I'd advice you to read about flashing with odin and watch a couple of videos on youtube before you put yourself up to it or else you're gonna have a bad flash, and that means trouble.

[Q] Repetedly crashes, then bricks - causes?

I'm running rooted stock 4.1.2 (I9100XWLSW)
My phone has been temporarily freezing/needed reboot for a month or so, without any major changes.
I then did a wipe (Cache, Dalvik, Reset) then Odin going back to the previous build I9100XWLSS and all seemed ok. But then my phone crashed on the road and would not reboot, even after CWM factory reset. Did the same again and a few hours in it happened again, this time I had access to my CWM BackUp though.
How do I find the cause of this crash and burn, is it Hardware/Software?
Cheers
flash stock jb rom via odin from Samfirmwares and see if problem persists. If it does then take it too service center (make sure to remove any trace of root eg. remove yellow triangle)
Kernel & Flash Counter

Don't forget to reset your Flash Counter if you have to take it to service which should be only your very last step, they'll probably check it even if there's no other sign of root eg.
If the problem persists after flashing Stock ROM again, try to flash a new kernel.
Which one were you using when the crash occurred?
For the moment I've removed Swype, which seemed to cause the stutter and lag initially. Swype works brilliantly on my N7, btw.
I then got rid of SetCPU, which I installed before the brick crash happened.
Never a good time to bring your phone back, but desperately need it over the next few weeks, so my last option. Daily TB backupthe until then...
