Hey guys, long time xda user but never really bothered making an account and posting lol, but **** just got serious so I need some specific help. So I have been flashing roms almost since the first day I got this phone, never had a problem not even flashing ICS roms. But in this case, I was running [ROM] Blue 2.2 Frankenstein-FishmanMod Final and it was working perfect, had battery for days, no lag , and everything was smooth as usual. Then out of the blue, my vibrant decides to shutdown(no I still got plenty of battery left), so I wouldnt call this an infinite reboot because it doesnt reboot it just shuts down every time I turn it back on! It usually shuts down a couple of secs after I turn it on. And now im having a hard time even getting to CWM. I tried odin(multiple times) but no cigar, problem still persist. WTF . Does anyone know what I can do?
You could try to wipe everything if the phone dosent shutsdown, did you try using Heimdall(I think thats the name) and what especific problem you have with Odin?

Hello everyone,
To be honest, it's been some time since I've been here, back when I knew how everything on this forum worked...
I kinda forgot, so I'm just posting this HELPME!? thread
This is my problem:
About 1.5 years ago I downloaded a ROM, and put it on my phone, and it was working just fine. However, 3 weeks ago it became really annoying, i'll explain what my problem was:
My phone would randomly freeze when i was doing things, these things could vary from "sending a text message" to "opening my 4th opera tab".
After that it wouldn't respond unless I reset it. However, when starting up again after resetting it would do a few possible things.
1. It's freeze at the first startup screen.
2. It's keep switching between unlock and "pin-screen", and when it was working again, it'd freeze.
3. It'd start up, and after about 5 seconds buzz like 5 times, then freeze.
When i left it on frozen the battery and phone would turn very hot as well =(
So, I tried a hard reset, but that didn't work.
After that i went to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
I followed the instructions, installed the right Radio (2.12.50), and installed the ROM ( Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.NLD.Cookie.2.0.Jul.07.7z ).
I remembered how to intall these things, so I think i've done that right.
So, after that it seemed to be working fine, and I was really proud and happy.
Now my phone has frozen again, and starting up was an issue again...
Does anyone know what my problem is? And what would be even better, what i can do to solve it?
Please let me know <3
Adios <3
Little Update:
So, I've been carrying my HTC HD2 around with me again, and then it started again...
It froze when I tried to send a text, and after that would freeze or vibrate (a few times) during the start-up...
It's really anoying =( If I'd have to estimate my phone's uptime a day...
It used to be 24h a day, now it's more like... 4 hours a day, with 2/3 hours of trying to get it working :Z
That could be hardware related. Possibly processor overheating. I would download the latest stock rom and fash it to see if it sorts the problem. If not it will need to be sent of to HTC to be replaced.
Hi everyone,
first of all I did search forum, but havent find answer nor related thread, if I have missed it please sorry about it.
Got my SGS2 about 6-7 months ago. No issues, everything perfect. Got updated to 2.3.4 with KIES (not really fan of experimenting with phone that have price of above average monthly salary in Serbia).
Rooted device with ZergRush exploit since I wanted as close to mint backup in case I have to send it to service(dont ask, service here is pain in the butt), purchased Mobile Odin Pro (cheers to that Chainfire) and flashed Hellcat's kernel for 2.3.4 from Mobile Odin.
Everything was cool, CWM, made EFS backup with his tool too, and so on...
However, about 2 moths ago, I started experiencing random restarts of the phone. Did search, found out that it happens and actually dealt with it.
Now, recently, i switched off my phone in the evening (was on 20% and didnt wanted to leave it on charger, and didnt want it to die on me during night), and in the morning I havent been able to turn it on. Freaked out badly, only to realize that its battery was empty. Which was odd because I DID turned it off.
About few days ago, i switched the phone, and it went to full shut down, however managed to get stucked somewhere in process (LED's are on, did vibrate i think) but never shuts down itself.
After some time, when I picked it up since I saw LED's on, i realized that its very hot and that I cant switch it back on (presumably because it never got shuts down) and had to remove battery so that I can switch it back on. When I did, i found out that battery was about 15% drained in that 10 mins, and I dont know what he was computing while shutting down, but it burned the sh*t out of itself.
Tonight it did that again so I decided to ask first before I do factory reset/wipe everything (maybe update to ICS too).
So, any idea, suggestion what to do is more than appreciated.
Cheers
Polite bump?
What is the actual problem .

Well assuming you have read original post, why the hell that happen, does it happen to anyone else, and how to avoid it?
this may help

Well, as I said, its not bootloop.
As I said, I shut down the phone, it starts shutting down, turn on leds, vibrate and stays turned on. After that battery drains quickly, and phone gets very hot.
When I get battery out, and back in it boots up without problems.
And I dont have any cooked rom, just Hellcats kernel for 2.3.4 stock rom.
you problem
Hi there,
Here's the best way to resolve this issue you have to re-flash a fresh new rom, meaning a full installation of the android os and here is how to do it,
First search google and download ODIN to ur computer or Pc.
Next search again google and type the following ( Sammobile.com ) and register and after that type the model number of your phone for example (i9100) in the site search bar and download rom that u need and thats it this should solve ur problem
Note : be sure to have 100% battery charged before doing the above and after installing ur new rom do a full wipe and enjoy,
I hope this was helpful,
Regards,
iMatrix
Yeah, thats probably that I will end up doing, luckily i have bought Titanium Backup so that I can backup all apps that I have and restore them after wiping everything.
I was wondering that somebody have any idea what might be going on.
Thanks for suggestions everyone.
before that try wiping cache and dalvik cache

This seems to happen quite a bit on gb roms.. definetely time to upgrade to ICS
Actually from what I have read about ICS 4.03, Im actually glad I didnt.
Releasing it in that state(e.g. battery issues again, 3rd party sms programs sends sms twice...) is bad for both G and Samsung imho...

Hello everyone!
A few weeks ago my phone started freezing randomly when navigating through menus, when turning on the screen or just during stand by. It reboots almost every night and I find it in the morning in the "enter pin" screen. I have been using the Omega Rom series for a long time, and I was using v38 when this began to happen, but by that time I had already been with the same ROM for a long time with absolutely no problem. Yesterday I updated to v39 and the phone is totally unstable, it freezes every 5 minutes and I have to remove the battery.
How can I know if this comes from a hardware or a software problem? Is there any way to log what the phone does so I can check what goes on by the time it freezes?
Thank you very much.

you could try to do a logcat report.
did you try different kernels?
Yes I did, I tried the stock kernel and Siyah too, but I get the same problem. Any other recommendation?
I will get started with the logcat thing, I hope I can find something. Thank you!
My droid4 kep doing the same exact thing when I attempted to listen to my music player, and I ended up finding trojan and I didn't find it with any of the AntiVirus' that you find on Android I ended up finding it with pandas usb vaccine when I plug the phone in to the laptops usb port.. And it doesn't do it at all anymore
I tried 3 AntiVirus ' from Google, AVG + lookout+ .AND avast..!!! Nothing picked it up. :banghead:

if it is not the kernel, I would try to setup the phone from scratch with first, a stock Samsung rom, see how it goes, and if anything is ok, flash a custom rom and test again.
Usually, for me, I do not stop with just a factory reset but use a "mega" wipe to delete (not format) anything related on the phone even if some think this is not necessary.

Hi.
I've been having similar issues for over a week now. And have removed some programs and setting trying to find the cause. Eventually what has prevented freezing is when I turn the screen power saving in power saving settings on. I'm thinking the GPU might be somehow damaged or something.
I have only installed the official updates to the phone. Currently I'm at 4.1.2 NEE.
Ive been using custom roms for ages but got fed up with apps and certain not working so I wiped everything and installed stock ics via odin, I then upgraded all the way up to 4.1.2 via the Samsung upgrade utility but....... now my phone freezes sometimes ive never had this before. ...? Im on ella btu

I have been doing further investigation and I've seen that it is not that the phone freezes, it is just that you cannot have any interaction at all with it. The screen is blocked, the buttons do not respond and the phone does not make any sound, but I know it is alive! I know it because whenever an app is doing something, after restarting the phone by pulling out the battery I see that that process has been completed or if I dial my own number from another phone I get tone, although the phone appears to be completely dead...
Does this situation have a name and a specific solution...?

Hi Everyone,
Recently my phone got crazy!
I used it as stock for a long time, until 3 weeks ago when it started being slow (a few weeks after updating from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2), crashing and getting stuck a lot.
I did a factory reset, not before I rooted it and backed it up with Titanium Backup. That's where things took a turn for the worse.
The factory reset didn't solve anything. Phone kept on crashing.
Next I tried to install a custom ROM (Samsung JB based) and a custom kernel. UI responsiveness got much better, of course, but it didn't prevent the phone from crashing. Tried different kernels and still, nothing.
Yesterday I did a full NAND wipe using ODIN and reinstalled everything using HydRx-D ROM. Things actually got a little better, and the phone UI gets stuck much less frequently.
Still, this is very frustrating, and I can't find a solution anywhere.
I'm attaching a logcat from this morning. The phone worked perfectly for 2 hours straight. Read a few articles, made a few phone call - nothing out of the ordinary. Then it got stuck right after a phone call ended.
Now you probably ask why do I always say that the UI stucks. Well, it always starts with being very laggy for a few seconds and then the foreground app gets stuck, but then I can still swipe down from above to see the notification panel and it always gets stuck on the way down. Also, it mostly gets stuck after a phone call. There was this funny case where I had a phone call using my bluetooth headset, and the phone actually got to BOOT SCREEN while I was still talking. When I finished talking, I had to hard reset the phone to get it work.
I'm really lost about this. If it was my PC I'd definitely know what to do about it, but my experience with Android ends with this phone, my TF101 and a couple of other phones/tablets I got to play with.
Thanks in advance for everyone who's willing to help.
Re: GT-I9300 IU stucks randomly
This unfortunately sounds like the kind of thing that happens before the sds strikes.
Will have a look at the log but I'm no expert in these matters,I suggest you read the sds thread and compare symptoms
Hi, I had CM10.1 running for a while. Since a few weeks I got random freezes when I wanted to turn on the screen it stayed off (LED was flickering, so the phone was still on). After a forced reboot (vol up+power button) it worked, but as it kept happening I wanted to try a full wipe. By the way: it happened every single night too, my phone was flickering its LED, but didnt react, and also alarm wasnt working (FML).
When messing around with this (I'm not really an expert at flashing/CM) and trying to restore my phone with TitaniumBU it kept freezing when working (to) fast. So I tried a lot with formatting SD, doing other wipes etc. Nothing really seem to help, as the random freezes kept happening.
Now I've installed the stable CM9, but already had freezes (even with the startup wizard in the beginning). I'm getting the feeling that its some hardware related issue. Can anybody tell me more about these problems, and mayb what else I can try.
Last try is to turn it al back to Touch Wiz, unroot, but I have to figure out how to. Hope this will solve it.

Sorry, plz move my thread where it belongs (im noob).
After some searching I found that it might not be a CM related problem, but something with 'sudden death' happening to more people with other ROMs or even without custom roms.

New development: my phone is now stuck at Samsung GSIII logo. Doesn't go further from there. I'm planning to go to Samsung with it. It is not unrooted, so my Q is;
can they see that it is rooted when the phone doesn't get past the boot logo?
