[Q] Restarting itself - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A couple months ago, I had to problem of not being able to flash any custom roms. It'd come up with the error of the sd card supposedly not being mounted. I cut off the plastic above the internal SD card, and replaced it, and it worked. Once. I was able to get 2.4.4 on my phone. But ever since, I have not been able to flash any custom roms, and I'd REALLY love to go back to 1.9.9. Because ever since I flashed 2.4.4, my phone restarts itself! It started doing it about 2 or 3 times a day, and that was acceptable. But the past week, it's been restarting every half hour, and it's driving me crazy. Can anyone tell me a damn fix to the restarting, or something that I can do?

Have you tried to do a factory reset?

I've done a few factory resets since installing 2.4.4. Could it be possible that there's a glitch with 2.4.4 where too many apps running at once would restart it?... It only seems to restart now (it stopped restarting every half hour after I posted this... Go figure, huh?) is either when I'm turning it on (Ironic) or when I'm on Miren.

Fatal Error

Dear All,
I've been using T-Mobile HD2 for last 2 months and installed android, wm 6.5 and wp 7 several times without any problem (I love trying new roms).
For the past few days im facing serious issues with my device. Phone freezes/reboots at least 9/10 times a day. When it reboots it sometimes vibrates 4-5 times then hangs. I tried several radios/roms and the problem still persists. It is mostly stuck on the htc logo and i need to get into bootloader to install something new.
Today i decided to go back to stock T-Mobile Rom. I downloaded the version "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_2_Ship". It flashed flawlessly but it took me 3-4 attempts (freezing issue) to load the device completely. While i was completing the settings the following error appeared:
"ARM 11 Fatal Error" and the device froze. The same thing is happening again and again. Please help!!!
I was having similar problems with my previous hd2. Reboots, freezes ....after 1 month of use. They replaced mine. There was something wrong with the motherboard.

No, I was not flashing with SD card removed from phone.
The previous phone was working acceptable for 1 month. After that it started to freeze, reboot...quite unusable
Hello,I hade almost the same problem with my HTC s620,it was becouse oe of the chips was damaged...its not ROMs problem..
Did you try to use Task29 to clean out ROM leftovers before flashing?
Hope it will help solve your problem, if it is not a device or hardware failure.

Boot loop when using 3G

Hello everyone,
Please help me solving this problem:
My X10i always stuck in boot loop whenever connect to 3G.
I've tried different SIM, ROMs and Google it but still no solution
Thank you!
Still no help?
Waiting...
I have a similar problem with my phone.
Regardless of the rom I'm using, my phone will go into a boot loop. Anywhere from 3 to 10 times before booting fully.
It doesn't seem to be any particular app or action and I don't use a task killer. Sometimes connecting to 3g will crash my phone and boot loop; other times it's attempting to delete an app or replying to a text message. Any sort of daily use can cause my phone to crash into a boot loop, which is usually remedied by taking my battery out, waiting, and putting it back in again. I'm fairly certain it's not an over heating issue because the battery and phone don't feel hot to the touch.
There seems to be no way to know when it will crash, however, it is more likely to do so if it's charging or I have my headphones in.
I've had this problem while using WB 2.2 rom, WB 2.3 rom (all versions) and EWjet 2.3 rom. I've Formatted everything I can, including the SD card.
I'm currently on a fresh install of WB 2.3 v3 and still getting the boot loop issue. This only started happening a month or so ago, so I'm beginning to think that this is a hardware issue and I may need to get my phone replaced.
Other information, I'm on Rogers and have owned my x10 for a little over 1 year, BaseBand 2.1.71, Kernel 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537, Build Number 3.0.1.G.75

Gameboid Irritation

hey guys,
i have an irritating problem on my LGP500 (v2.2.1 Froyo), i had this phone for over a year now, but recently when i tried putting 2-3 videos on my sd card, only one would then freakishly appear. After a few PRIVACY reset (as well as SD Card Reformatting), the problem didnt go away. (i did not know the cause of that problem but it wasnt the video, had successfully transferred them before).
I had this problem a couple of months ago but after a reformat it usually was solved but not this time. Also, after the reformat my gameboid just crashed on me. No message whatsoever. Just clicked on a game then *boom* i'm back on my homescreen. I had this game for months now, never had this problem. So i decided to try to update my phone to 2.3.3 Gingerbread then root it via this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1200167.
The problem with the videos disappearing was fixed but still the gameboid dilemma persists. So i tried, i searched, tried different bios, tried different versions (from 1.8-3.0.11) still no luck. Tried different roms that were compatible and still no damn luck. Im getting quite irritated, hopefully anybody can help.
Also, my 2.2.1 phone was rooted the whole time before that problem appeared, (also tried to unroot --> reformat) so i think my root isnt the problem.
wipe data with titanium backup, then uninstall it, then reinstall a clean new version of the gameboid emulator.
Nevermind, this part was a bit tricky, i used gameboid 2.4.7 which was, in my understanding, more suitable for the Gingerbread: 2.3.3. I overlooked several versions but hey. All's well that end well.

[Q] I9300 hangs/reboots randomly

Hey,
since about two weeks my i9300 keeps hanging/rebooting randomly. Today it crashed thrice after about one minute after rebooting but the song that was currently playing finished. Just after that, it hang and did nothing. When the phone hangs all I can do is manually force it to reboot. Sometimes it just reboots out of nowhere. This happens mostly when locked and not being used. The logcat is pastebin.com/QdjjrJMT and the dmesg is pastebin.com/bXDJ0fXK Anything that I can do?
Thanks in advance.

Had the same problem weeks before and solved it with another kernel type. Here are many on the board that are worth to give a try
I have three new logs (connected wirelessly to the device for debugging as it never seems to crash when connected via USB) and left adb logcat running until the device crashed, maybe they help:
knubbig.de/f/log.txt
knubbig.de/f/log2.txt
knubbig.de/f/log3.txt
Am not allowed to post links, sorry.
Would be nice if I could keep everything I have and just solve the problem. Thanks.
I have the same problem for a week now. Was on CM 10.1 nightly 14/03/2013. Complete reinstall and wipe didn´t help.
On Saturday i had 15 freezes/reboots in a row...
Changed yesterday to ParanoidAndroid 3.1 and so far only two freezes this morning. I´m still wondering if it´s the hardware or the software...
freeze
I am having the same problem for 4 days. I used mega wipe , installed 5-6 custom roms but it still freezes and today it started to reboot randomly.
8 reboots/freezes this morning. Other customs doesn´t make it better.
I´m trying a stock rom now and putting it back to warranty status.
I think (at least it seems) I solved it by going back to stock, then re-rooting via cf-auto-root and then installing cm again. I got it to the state i had 24 hours ago with crashes only last evening and it hasn't crashed since.
SGS3 GT-I9300 random reboot all the time, no complete boot.

Hi folks.
My SGS3 had a workshop replacing the motherboard some 2 weeks ago, right the way i installed root and setup "Siyah-s3-v1.8.9-CWM" With UltimaRom v.10 on primary rom, "FoxHound_Rising_2.3_Full-Essential_JellyBean" on the second rom.
This worked great for about a week, then the phone out of the blue starts rebooting all the time, for hours and hours or until it runs out of battery.
No Stock recover through Kies can solve the problem With reboot.
Try to reflash With various roms through Odin With, Aroma installer starts, let me choose the options best suited for XELLA build and after aroma setups is finished and the phone goes on With rom setup, after 2sek or when setup starts or try to start it goes to blackscreen and setup dies.
Have tried many kernels and roms, but the Device is dead.
Any ideas on where to start looking?
Thanks a lot for Your time

Since I flashed the stock rom yesterday, my problems are also gone. I´m trying today a custom rom again.
Stock rom seems to be solving this issue.

I had the same issue. At first I thought it was the SDS fix, and then it stopped right out of the blue. I'd suggest just using it for another week or two. If it doesn't stop, let us know and then we can maybe find a solution.
Usually it's caused by the phone calling a memory block which is faulty, the fix then tells the phone to stop and it crashes, to save it from dying.

It´s not as simple as you say. Stock is running fine. But whenever I flash a custom rom, I get random freezes after some time.
But only a few freezes, not nearly as many as before...
So, the freezes are now gone since six days. Flashed a stock rom 3 times in a row.
It´s running fine like before, and i´m gonna stay with stock rom for a few days more to be sure.

Random Restarts (Long story)

Hey guys! This is my first thread here, but I knew this site before. I've got an M4 Aqua E2303, Android 5.0, Build 26.1.A.2.167 (upgraded from .99 with TWRP to keep the root.).
The story : I've got this phone like 4 months ago, I was so happy etc... After it updated to 5.0 it kept restarting randomly. Total random, when it was not under using, if I use it, it does not restart itself. Sometimes the restarts occurs when it's under charging, and sometimes when I want to unlock it and use it, and sometimes total randomly, and sometimes it shuts down. For different verions the problem was different too. On 26.1.A.2.99 it was the worst, it restarded and stuck on the boot screen until reached 0% battery. On 26.1.A.2.128 It turend off the screen, but the phone was running and the LED was red (even when fully charged) and only started with the hard off button in the SD card slot.
I've got the default "Diagnostics" app, now it says that the Phone got system errors 42 times in 10 days. It was worse before (over 140). But it doesn't say why did it restart, I'm hoping for help from any of you, who had this issue and solved it, or someone who knows a better diagnostic tool that will explain what caused the system fault.
I appreciate all the helps!
Have you performed a factory reset? (It will delete all your data and apps)

Yes, when the phone was new and the restarts were annoying. It fixed it for 1 day. The next day it was restarting again.
This would point to an app you've installed causing the issue. Factory reset again and install each app one by one until the restarts happen to find out which.

If you used the pre-rooted zip to maintain root while updating to the latest android, this will fix your rebooting problem. Follow this guide:
