I’ve flash about 20 different ROMS since I got my SGS2
I’m running checkromHD 4.0 every two days or so my phone seem to turn off or go into a sleep mode and cant be woken up, my friend running the same ROM (which I installed for him) and has got no problems
Ive tried wipe / format data cache and factory reset, tried flashing a stock ROM, then Checkrom 4.0 still the same problem
Can too much rom flashing affect the phone?
Any help would be appreciated
No
Problems are usually user error or rom error .
jje
I agree, I flashed mi phone like 32 times and still rocking
long ago i rested counter and at the moment i have like 50 flashes and i think im gonna flash again tonight...when sth is wrong its either the rom or the users fault...nothing against u but mostly its the users fault

this sounds like too much undervolting, or playing with set cpu settings, very common issue, had it like millions times, either flash a different kernel, or increase voltages of the sleep/wake frequency ([email protected])
with some kernels my voltage for 200mhz was at 825 and was running fine at some kernels i was having no wake issues, so had to put it up to 850-875 or change governor hope this helps
Flash durability
Flash memory durability depends of type. You can expect to be able to flash your phone at least 10,000 times. You will find that the connector which is also rated for 10,000 connections, would wear out first.

Hello Guys.
This is my first question or issue that I would like to share.
I have a GSII international version and currently rooted running ICS 4.0.3 stock (I guess) with CWM V3.15 .
Now the deal is that whenever I flash any rom, most of the time works except when I use Siyah Kernel for some reason I get Kernel Panic mode but with other Kernels work fine I'm trying CM10 and RR 4.1.1.
The installation goes well and the phone works but as soon as I let the screen go to sleep for more than 4 minutes the phone gets stuck and I have to do a hard reset then it starts working normally and when the screen goes off again bam! frozen!..is not an app issue cause I've tried with no apps and its the same thing.
Now one curious thing is that once I flash I cannot go into CWM for some reason.it just won't go ..another thing that I want to mention is that before I installed it and it was happening the same thing and I change the CPU governor and it seems that it fixed the problem and I was able to use the rom with no problems for about a week or so, but now that I had to re install it again I went and I change the CPU governor and is not fixing the freezing problem.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Baseband: I910XXLPS
Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPB-CL99600 [email protected]#3
Build: IML74K.XXLPB
just to not leaving any place to doubts full wipe (format /system /data, wipe cache, dalvik and factory resets) and flash an stock rom. try it for a while..if it keep doing that...take it to service...
try flashing another kernel , the one i use and it's wroking perfectly is siyah 3.3.3d
Hi, i've been experimenting this problem for 2 months. I've got CyanogenMod 9, but before I flashed Cyanogen Resurrection 4.0.3 and I formated everything as possible (Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik and format /system). The battery doesn't lose charge when I restart it.
Thanks!
So, what is your question..?

If any of you have the same problem and know the solution. I've read other messages like mine, but I'm not in the same circumstances. I haven't got any apps except social (whatsapp, twitter...) none of my apps it's draining the battery I simply don't know why my phone shuts down by itself
You're running stock kernel right? Have you changed anything at the Performance-menu at Settings? And when do this reboots occur?
Have you tried flashing for example CM10.1 to see if the same problems come up? You could make a Nandroid backup to try this.

Thanks for the answers. I have the stock cm9 kernel. I don't touch anything at the performance settings. Actually, this problem comes from a couple of roms more. AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, and another one 4.2.1 which I don't remember the name. I've tried a stock ROM before but the performance was not good at all, freezes and slow work at general. Thanks.
Make a full wipe (4) and go as stock as you can. Try it for a day or two and then go back to custom.
You wanna see if it keeps going off on its own, don't worry about performance just yet.
If it does it on all roms you've tried its obviously a hardware issue.
Try a different battery, if that doesnt help then send it for repair.
SGS2 power off issue
Hiya,
I have been running and updating Resurrection Remix and Siyah/Dorimanx kernels for awhile now and this worked fine up until last week. After an update to Dorimanx 7.50 my phone started dropping its network connectivity and powering off randomly, i then updated the Kernel to a new verison hoping the issue had been address (8.3 to be specific) after which my phone wouldnt even go through the boot sequence properly.
After a bit of fiddling i have managed to install an Official JB ROM, (details in the image attached) and network connectivity now seems to be ok, but the phone still powers off...ALOT. Anyone else experience similar issues and find a solution?
Note: I have ordered a new battery in case that is the issue as suggested above, but just checking incase theres something im missing while I wait. Also, the phone is about 16 months old.
Sv: [Q] SGS2 turns itself off
Check your fuel gauge chip. Reset it with siyah or dorimanx kernel.

This is my first post here so please excuse any violation of rules.
So, I was running CWM recovery + Siyah kernel + CM10.1 + Touchwiz 4.1.2 (dual boot setup) perfectly fine on my Galaxy s 3 for almost a year. But yesterday I decided to update all of those and updated to latest CWM using ROM manager, then changed the kernel to googy max2 and installed CM11. Everything worked properly except that my phone would freeze or hang up randomly at any time(whether swiping through homescreens or updating apps or even during standby). So I changed my ROM to S4 Revoution ROM (tried with both googy max2 and devil kernel). However, even this ROM gave me same hangup problems. So I moved onto TWRP recovery+ OmniRom but still encountered the same problem multiple times. After getting tired of wasting so much time, I came back to my original setup of CWM+Siyah kernel+CM10.1 thinking I wouldn't face this problem again, but to my aghast, the phone would still freeze randomly. Only a power button reboot would help. Please help, I have no idea what might be causing the problem as I have successfully tried every combination of recovery, kernel and ROM but to no avail. And no, I never manually tinkered with any CPU/GPU frequencies or voltages. Your time and help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.
PS: One more very important thing I forgot to mention, CPU-Z shows most of the time all 4 cores of the CPU stay at 1400MHz even though minimum speed is 200MHz. I have noticed this in S4 revolution ROM with googy max2 kernel and pegasusq governor(currently using this setup on my phone). Also, the "devil kernel" app on this ROM shows CPU either stays in deep sleep mode or 1300-1400MHz frequency.
Can't take screenshot for some reason in this ROM otherwise I would have uploaded those too. Thank you.

Did you do a complete wipe before installing all these roms? Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache partition. I am running WanamLite 7.3 with stock kernel and Wanam Xposed. Here is the link to the rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705866
Reboot into custom recovery. Do a full wipe, even though this rom says that it is not necessary but it is always a good idea to do a full wipe before flashing. Try this out and let's try to fix your problem.

Yes, and not just once, but every time I flashed a new ROM. I'm thinking my only option now is to unroot and go back to stock but i am unable to find my country's rom. (found one on sammobile but the download speed refuses to go beyond 2-3kbps).
One more very important thing I forgot to mention, CPU-Z shows most of the time all 4 cores of the CPU stay at 1400MHz even though minimum speed is 200MHz.

Try WanamLite 7.3. Use the link I gave. And install it after doing a complete wipe. See if that makes a difference.

Thank you for the suggestion but i'm afraid that would not help as i have already tried 4 different roms, one of which i used for a year without any problem, but still facing the hangup only since yesterday. plus, I have gone through enough trouble restoring my accounts/apps/contacts and all (especially whatsapp) again and again for the whole of yesterday every time i flashed a new rom. the problem is not related to the rom. thank you, again.

See, most of the things in your phone are software related. It is very very rare that you might have damaged the hardware. I see mismanagement of the resources by the ROM or kernel in your phone. What are the steps you are doing when installing a new ROM and which custom recovery are you using?

I did a full wipe, flashed everything again, did the emmc check as well as the dummy file generator thing....the hangups have reduced to 2-3 per day from 2-3 per hour but are still there. Should I downgrade my cwm recovery?
If you are rooted try the COMPLETE unrooting procedure mentioned at various places by flashing the latest stock firmware available from sammobile. This is to make sure your device software is like brand new. Test it for at least a day. Do a mega wipe (erasing everything even on internal SD card) before which can fix it in some cases.
When rooting again make sure you have the most bug free version of the recovery. CWM 6.0.4.4 is known to have minor problems here and there but nothing concerning to this topic.

Hi guys, I experience the same problems: I'm in any app and I press home to go back to the home menu => my phone's freezing for 5 seconds and then I see all my icons/folders/widgets slowly appearing. I would like to know how to complete format my internal SD card like you said. Thanks in advance.
by pressing the powerkey+homebutton+volume up for about 8-10 seconds you are taken to a recovery menu. You can choose to factory reset over there. That fixed problems in most cases. The only way to wipe the internal partition as well would be to install stock firmware which is a part of unrooting, this will erase everything and put a original rom in your phone.. You can follow the unrooting processes written in many posts in xda
Ok thanks for this quick answer ! So the only way to erase the internal SD card is the unrooting method?

As far as i know yes. Its not any trouble at all, wont take much time, except the firmware you would have to download. Its not needed in most cases. As i said before you may only need a factory reset so try that before! And just hit the thanks button
I was getting bootloops on 2 i9100 phones with neatrom v5.4.2. It started happening yesterday on both phones after several weeks that they operate smoothly. I had to wipe data to get them back to working state. Has anyone else encountered such problem?

had this issue
but in my case it was a corrupt download as i checked it with md5 checksum command on the terminal emulator
i hope this is the case with you too or else you might want to check up your kernel performance settings as the phone might be using up to much battery for the cpu processes .
i recommend u use ondemand and noop under performance settings after successfully installing the rom
ps- don't change the kernel . neat rom comes with a built in kernel
