I've been experiencing a random shut down on my phone since i started using custom roms. Ive been using Resurrection Remix (currently 2.3) and this problem has always been there. I already do the 4 wipes before installing the new versions (to have a clean install) so i dont think the wipes will help me here. Another thing i noticed is that when it shuts down, it gets REALLY hot until i power it on by pressing on the power button for about 5 seconds. Also the battery drops drastically. So please tell me what could solve the problem!.

Please excuse the rediculous response above me, this person obviously has some superiority issues they need to deal with, Now, the most reason for phones getting hot like this is that you possible have a misbehaving application or some files left over on your sd card from a previous rom.
The most common problem when installing a new rom is that the roms have different file structures and so when you install a new rom this file structure incompatibillity causes issues. You need to wipe and format both internal sd card and external storage. Best do that from recovery, go into storage options and then format sd card, format mmc.
Now, connect your phone to your pc via usb. Now in recovery mount sd card, mount system. Now transfer your Rressurection rom.zip to sd card. Now unmount sd card, unmount system and then disconnect usb from pc. Now flash the zip from recovery. After the rom.zip has been flashed, go and reboot system. Once you reboot system and your phone boots up, give it +-5 minutes just to settle before you configure everything. All should now be mellow. If it is not just give me pm and I will personally try to assist you. And if that fails, we can always hookup skype and I can see your phone via webcam and diagnose the issues directly.
Please know that what the above person said by no way reflects the general attitude at xda, most people are kind and helpful and try to make the world a better place. Good Luck bro and I hope you come right.

Hey bro, thanks a lot for ur help! .. about wiping and formatting, doesnt that mean i'll lose all the stuff on my phone? *pictures,music, apps etc..* ?
Yes formatting will erase everything, so save your stuff first.
Also I say first flash a New ICS stock ROM using Odin, or just the modem, as I find modem and kernel Both responsible for heat issues

I'll revert back to resurrection remix 2.2 as it uses cm9 kernel.. if it works fine then i'll know it's the kernel problem.
Oh, btw i use Titanuim back up to back up my apps.. if i copy the titanium back up folder on my computer then format the sd card then put it again, will it work properly and restore my apps again?

Bro it is not what you say but how you say it, you are being self righteous, arrogant and your attitude basically stinks. Remember others are also just starting up and insensitive unsubstantiated comments like yours makes them feel really bad.

Oh, you know what, forget about it people like you are incapable of showing intellect, compassion, understanding and an evolved sense of decorum. You my friend will get what you deserve sooner or later, because what you dish out comes back 10 fold. End of Lesson.

Galaxy S2 Random Shut down
I am experiencing a similar problem, though my issue is with the official 4.0.3 build.
I'm running 4.0.3 on Galaxy S2 (UK), phone is crashing randomly, only way to turn it back on is to remove battery and start again. On my 2nd handset as I've sent it in for repair once, got given a replacement hand set, due to them damaging my original handset (another story), only had this 2nd handset a week and same thing has started happening again.
Is anyone else having this problem, I'm starting to think it's the ICS 4.0.3 build, not playing nice. Any suggestions?
Thank you all in advance for your help.

(SOLVED) hello neighbors. I am having an issue... my atrix will only boot if i install honey atrix on it. i have tried many other roms. many different times. i have wiped all data cache partitions, dalvik, battery stats, formatted system, dat, cache. And still i can get nothing to boot besides Honeyatrix rom.
it seems to load them from the zip file ok just wont boot past the unlock dual core screen. i have let it set for 10-20 min to see if it will boot and nothing.
i had recieved this under warranty and it was shipped with the new 2.3.6. 4.5.91 and i rooted and unlocked using the unlock tool v.4.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance,

Try a full wipe with fastboot before flashing. Also may need to flash appropriate kernel. What ROM's have you tried?

ive tried cherry pie, algorythm, cm7, neutrino, miui many of them, and i have never had this problem with my other atrix. just this one doesnt seem to be want todo anything but this one rom. and i have done a full wipe in moto fastboot as well. i forgot to mention it earlier.

your recovery is the problem install rom manager from market and update cwm or try romracer recovery.
Could also be the baseband radio. If that doesn't fix, looks like its time for the dreaded sbf.

I would also use the latest romracer recovery or twrp from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400641. Also be sure to use appropriate kernel for the rom you are flashing and try the stock clocked kernels first. Good luck.

hmmmm I wondering on this one if his internal might be mal-partitioned.. I had this problem and was cured using mini tool partition wizard. Start off by making sure all's formatted fat 32 primary. Once you're assured of that, format again, fastboot - w and reinstall something like neutrino. Twice for good measure. Boot it , wait 60 seconds, pull battery and reboot. Lemme know bro if that helped..

Guise, please read this carefully. I'm sharing it so you know what to do if it happens to you.
Alright, I want to share this experience with you all since it's the second time it's happened to me.
Yesterday I checked my phone and found it off in my pocket. It was the 2nd time it happened in the last few days. The first time was when I was using Jusada's ICS Final. Then these couple of days when I was using the Democracy rom (cm7.2) and now I switched to the Myth 2 and it happened again. The common thing was that with these roms I always used A2SD. Whether it was S2E or DT's A2SD. The same problem was the phone kept turning off even while charging.
Now it's to the point where I tried to reflash the rom again and it wouldn't even let me delete dalvik cache in the CWM settings. I had to format the SD in both cases this has happened to me. Seems to be a corrupt file in the Dalvik Cache or A2SD or something. Don't know how or why it happens but it's already happened twice to me already.
If this happens to you, just back up the SD, format it and reflash with Odin. It'll be fixed.
This is why backups are important. Make sure to back up all your apps weekly with Titanium so you don't have anything to worry about if this happens.
EDIT: Got saved by my Latino community. http://www.taringa.net/comunidades/...n_t-mount-_Data-Partition-Fix-LoopBoo_ts.html
Apparently the corrupted data file could be saved with a 5 package Odin flash. I was so scared :'(
I've been using cronmod(INT2EXT+) without any issues at all. So if you're looking for a swtch:

Well, I'm using the last one INT2EXT+ since the data remains in the device, so it's not stored in the SD-card. Everything works just as normal (TitiniumBackup, no probs!).

My 2nd topic in about 20 mins!
I've just flashed Siyah Kernal but made a mistake and flashed an older version accidently (I flashed 1.3 instead of 1.7)
Now my phone doesn't boot, it gets to the loading screen where it displays model etc and then stops. I can boot into recovery, I was thinking I can just flash the other kernal but I don't have it on my storage.
I wiped cache then davlik cache and then installed the old version and rebooted and now I'm stuck
I'm thinking just wipe data and reflash ROM but I've never messed around with kernals before so I don't know if it's any different
Help is GREATLY appreciated!
If you have an external SD, transfer the updated 1.7rc1 syiah to that, and flash it from recovery.
Should solve the problem.
If it doesnt, wiping and reflashing the rom, then the corect kernel should work as well.

Update Syiah myself a few times without a wipe. Although I am sure some would recommend a wipe.
I've just put my external SD into its adapter so that my laptop can read it and I get write protection errors.
Can I just wipe data/factory reset and reflash the ROM to gain access to my phone again and then flash the kernal?

indeed and 3 cheers for XDA, the best place to get help.
I have the XSG region (uae) model of the S3 9300 and i've had it for over a week by now, I've successfully rooted it without a problem and i love the phone. However, when i comes to installing custom roms that supposedly improve performance and battery life, it's not working out for me.
So far I've tried the Cyanogen mod and the liquidsmooth mod, using odin. With both of those i repeatedly tried installing them and i even wiped the cache and data, but they just end up sitting there at the boot screen, as if i did all this just to stare at a logo! why the hell don't they work?????????????? help please,

If it is GT-I9300, indeed it is an international model (if it is not faked ).
You should be able to, for instance via CWM or Mobile Odin (to keep root), flash a custom rom. Try to do a factory reset wipe/data wipe and install the rom again. For some roms you also might do a "fix permissions" from your custom recovery after you flashed it (but before you restart the phone).
Looks like you are trying to flash zip files in Odin.
STOP NOW!
Ok note we have sorted that, and before you do anything else, take a step back, and do some reading and learning, starting with the rollup sticky at the top of the general thread.

Precisely before flashing read the FAQS and Guides is rule one .
Rule two is backup your EFS folder before flashing instead of crying later .

Tl;dr install with mobile odin or clockwork recovery to install ZIP files (most ROMs come in this, also don't extract it), use dekstop odin to install tar files
Ok fair enough, thanks all for the help so far, I'll do a bit of reading then try again. I've had an Iphone for over 2 years that I jailbroke and used from day one. This phone is so much cooler however, I look forward to exploring the improved possibilities..
Ok that's it then, seems the only way something like this MAY work is by wiping the phone clean and starting over, something very inconvenient for my to do.. If down the line I ever get another phone I will try it then, it has been a headache trying it on this one. I decided to give it one more try yesterday after backing up everything, I used titanium backup and also made a back up in recovery mode, I tried fixing permissions after installing the latest cyanogen mod but it didn't make a difference, it just sat at the stupid boot screen, making my phone warm.. I suppose it's okay if one needs a hand warmer!
My woes did not end there however, as I assumed that since I made a backup i could just restore the phone to the way it was. That did not exactly happen unfortunately, clockwork mod restored the system and image just fine, but when it was restoring data it kept stopping at one file and giving me an "error restoring data" bull****. Great, so I boot the phone and now most of the apps don't work and just crash when I try to run them, the only way to fix them is by uninstalling and then re–installing them one by one! Very inconvenient! And to top it off avast told me I have several "problems" found, I assume that is those apps.
So there it is, I shouldn't have done that to my phone yesterday, it worked beautifully until that point, and I was using nobloat to get rid of the unnecessary stuff, make a rom flash pointless, but I was curious.. And there you go, that is my story, I thank you all for trying to help, and I appreciate it really, but I'm done with this nightmare, at least on this phone i am.
Peace
Ok a quick update:
After repeatedly having an occasional issue with the phone, I decided to go for it one more time, this time I followed your advice to the letter, and I'm happy to report that it Worked! I've installed the liquidsmooth Rom and it works great, except for a few issues which I'll talk about in another more relevant thread. Just wanted to say, I apologize for my earlier posts, I was at my wits end at the time!
Since the custom Rom issue has been resolved, I shall lay this thread to rest and hope others learn from it.
Peace.

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?

i cant boot it right now without the power plug.... and the battery is at 90%....
so something is completely broken within the system....

i thought the kernel is already included when you're installing one of the roms?
which one should i take?
or how wipe the whole system to have it like "out of the box"?
flash a stock ROM and see how it behaves.

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.

ok, ill try that right now..
if not using odin and try to do something with my nand???
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.

after flashing the ROM via odin, reboot into recovery, wip/factory reset and then go in to mount & storage, make sure system, data and sd cards (internal & external if any) are all mounted if not mount it and reboot.

well, i tried that. still nothing. it crashes or i have a bootloop.
so whats up with this phone?
so except the stock rom, where i can boot into it, all custom firmwares just crash or work for a while and then they'll crash.
i dont get this.
it started just days ago, now i dont even can use anything....

just as an example, when i tried to put on the neatrom-lite on my phone, it crashes while iam selecting the country. and this is just 2-3seconds after booting into the fresh and new system.
something is completely ****ed up....
so right now, i have the militant rom on my phone, got booted up, but the power button doesnt work.... when the phone is on...
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.

hey, i got the problem:
i transferred a few files between the sd card and the internal storage of my device, and i realised, that the device is not able to fully transfer the files. it says after 40-50% that its done. is there a flash the roms via ODIN? or how to do that? just put the rom.zip as PDA?

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.
