I've had my NT for quite a while now. Once I got it, I'm pretty sure I used the nook & zergy tool to root, and that's been it.
I've been on 1.4 forever, with CWM 5.5.04 as my recovery (on the emmc maybe? I don't need an sd to boot into it).
I've noticed that my stability has been declining, with random reboots here and there and rapid battery drain, so I decided it was time to get back to some flashing. I started with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494367, using the first 1.42 version as the others are dead. Everything loaded and booted fine, but it reboots with little provocation...you know, like, touching it, and may or may not go into a reboot cycle 3-4 times before chilling out. I still can't do much without triggering a reboot though. Search in the market? Reboot.
I attempted to restore using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190, but it just boots right up normally. If I manually flash it it fails.
So, here I am with a non-bricked NT that doesn't do me much good, and I'm wondering how to get it back in order.
Are you wiping cache and dalvik cache from recovery?
Also, are the reboots occurring on battery power, or on charging as well?

I've done a data wipe and wiped the dalvik from cwm. I've not wiped the cache partition if that's what you're asking. Reboots are when it's unplugged or plugged.

Ok. Data wipe does wipe cache as well.
You could try a cm Rom to see if the problem persists, but if you are looking for warranty, better to stay on stock.
Also, if you pull last kernel message ( from /proc/kmsg) , some dev may be able to determine cause for reboot.
I think it's possible this is a hardware issue.

Thanks for jumping on this. I went ahead and wiped the cache partition, because "why not?" and I'll be damned, but I haven't had a reboot yet. Hitting search in the market was a sure trigger, and it's behaving well so far.

/Cache and /Data are two separate partitions on emmc, and unless something change in recent CWM/TWRP Recovery, there are separate menu options to wipe each of them.
/Data is typically used to hold user downloaded/installed apps, and should not need to be wiped except when upgrading to a different ROM or a different ROM version.
I really don't know much about how all that works, but for whatever reason, wiping the cache fixed my issue.

I am running Das BAMF 2.1 Remix and had a strange issue today that I can't seem to get around. My battery died while I was using the phone, so I plugged it in and promptly rebooted. The lock screen was completely missing. The notification bar is still there, but I can't use the phone. Here is what I have tried:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik and reboot
Put it in a Car dock to Unlock
Reflash ROM after wiping cache and dalvik
Wipe system, cache, dalvik and reflash ROM
Wipe system, cache, dalvik each 3 times and reflash ROM.
I am trying to avoid wiping data because I have only had the ROM on a week and had just got it the way I wanted it so I don't have a nandroid or a Ti Backup (I know, dumb). I think I have most of it backed up, but I really don't want to lose anything else. The only other thing I can think of is flashing the kernel again (I don't think this will help, but as you can tell, I am out of options). Anyone have any ideas or am I just going to have to wipe everything and start over?
Edit: I also can't get ADB to recognize the phone, but I think it because the driver never loaded properly.
Even though it's currently down, go to teambamf.net for assistance. That is where the devs are now that they left XDA

Thanks man, I will contact them. I ended up wiping data and flashing. Fixed it but man it is a pain to set everything up. My market links must have been broken because none of my apps downloaded.
does 2.1 have the tool kit. im not sure if they are all the same but in the sense system settings, you can enable it but i really dont know about 2.1
Tool kit is the same, but what are u talking about enabling?

I rooted my phone using REVOLUTIONARY and my phone keeps rebooting after about 30 seconds of being fully booted up. When it reboots I imagine it is trying to run an update. I currently have the Stock ROM installed and running 2.2.1. How should I handle this? My phone does not stay booted long enough to check the files on my SD card. I have searched the forums and I apologize if this has already been answered but I have not found it.
Pull the SD card out and check it on a computer if you have an usb adapter

Could also view the files by mounting the sdcard while in recovery through your computer.
having the same issues as OP
rooted with stock rom. wondering which files i should be looking for if i can mount the phone to computer to view and why i would be looking for them
this is my wifes phone. it was working better and more stable than mine. today at 10am i guess verizon sent a msg on her phone to update and it said 3minutes or ignore and i guess she let it wind down to 3m
now the phone reboots after 30s or so of being on. i tried removing the sd card. after it was removed i booted up with the same result.
it boots into recovery mode after a couple restarts. i did not make a backup because i figured - hey, stock rom i should have no problem doh
any suggestions
If you can get in recovery, install a stock/rooted on her phone. Shouldn't have to clear data. Just clear cache and dalvik. If it still reboots you'll have to clear all.

I had this same issue and all I had to do was clear the cache and dalvik. Then I rebooted and backed up with Ti BU. Then installed a new rom.
Thanks for info, works fine now

Now my head i about to explode
Anyhow, I have an annoying problem.
Before the upgrade to XXALF6 I noticed no problem other than the known drainage of the battery in idle mode.
I rooted and flashed a ROM and it was ok.
But I got sick of the ROM and I hard reset the phone.
No problems.
Then I upgraded to XXALF6 - still unrooted and all.
First thing I notice is that the phone is lagging a bit now and then. Then when I sent and recieved an SMS or two the phone hung and rebooted.
I seems that happend because when vibration was active.
Also there was a new message saying "com.google.process.gapps" stopped working. And that came up again and again.
As far as I could find online that had to do with syncing the calendar and it should help to clear calendar cache in the phone. It did not.
Then I rooted the phone, just "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4", no other ROM.
Now the problem was even worse and also the sound stops working on and off all the time.
I tried to find the "com.google.process.gapps" with a file explorer with no luck.
I do find it in ROM Toolbox but its not possible to see the where on the phone the file is even there. Also its not possible to uninstall or even kill the process.
I did notice there seem to be doubles of some apps that I didnt notice previously to flashing CF-Root this time.
And I recall the new guide never mentions to wipe any phone data whatsoever during rooting the phone, and now I am thinking that maybe that should have been in the guide?
Anyhow.. appreciate ANY tips at all, Im so sick of this for the moment ^^
Go to cwm recovery, wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data/factory reset, then go to mounts&storage, format system. Then put your phone into the download mode and flash ROM again with odin. This should give you a nice and clean install,without any force closes..

I did wipe all things, cache, Dalvik, battery and user data with CWM.
At the moment it seems the phone is quite okay actually! The only thing left is SU.
U think I have to format system as well? What else would really be "cleaned" out that wasn't allready with the wipes?
Trust me,some of the devs insisted on formating system before flashing their custom roms,and I did have a bunch of force closes,until I decided to go their way and fully format the phone. It then installs everything from the scratch,so there's no way anything to go wrong.. give it a try,and report back... btw. make sure that you DO NOT restore any of the system data,if you use TB
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I pretty much learnt same way as predja it is always better to do full system wipe, it is not always necessary with some roms but if you do it you won't come across the problems you have as often.

I've seen a post about this one in the EVO area, but not here amongst us SGS3 owners:
When I reboot my phone, it always goes through an "Android is updating, application xxx of 3xx" counting up - and takes two or three minutes every reboot.
Is this normal under ICS?
Hmm, I'd say this is Not normal. One of the big "selling points" of the gs3 and ICS is the quick boot time. For me it is very quick. Maybe u should try doing a factory reset and see if it stops this behavior??

If you're rebooting your phone after you wipe your dalvik cache, than that is normal. Reason being is that it stores applications for optimization so that the OS can run more smoothly. When you wipe your dalvik, it clears them out, and then when you reboot, it rebuilds the cache for all applications. Just do a normal reboot without wiping anything and see if it still does it.
That is not normal if it is happening on every boot, only if you wipe your dalvik cache then yes it will update.

Yep, just a simple reboot or even a fault / reboot does the same thing. I'm not wiping the Dalvik cache or anything. Happens every time I boot my phone, and I've noticed over the past few days that I never seem to go into 4G/LTE mode any more. Curious - I guess I've laid the hammer on it a bit too much.
Are you using a custom rom or rooted? Or are you completely stock?

what rom r u using ????
with aokp there are setting to which the user can wipe cache and dalvik on every reboot
I read on another forum that a TitaniumBackup odex file may cause this on certain phones. Try uninstalling the apk and then re-install it.

Sure sounds like it. I'm using the "Route66" rooted ROM with the Invisiblek overclocking kernel in place of the recovery.
Most likely the overclock. i ran the stock rooted 66 with no issue. I also have titanium backup installed without that issue.

Worth a shot. I'll give it a rip and report back... Thanks!
hmmm... Uninstalled and replaced Titanium Backup, reflashed the stock recovery: no joy there. I'm still getting the rebuild every time I boot. I suppose when I have more time (read next weekend, I'm working 12 hours every day this weekend, then my niece is in town for a week), I'll blow it to hades and start over.

Oh, well - factory reset, re-route66, invisiblek's v2 overclocked kernel. I'm good, no "Android is updating..." every time, and no mo unlocked icon on the main screen.
I dunno what I did, but the Sammy din't like it!
Thanks, guys!
It seems most are able to get the rom going without issue. Just curious if there is anything outside of the standard process before loading a fresh rom. I've wiped cache/data/dalvik multiple times as well as reinstalled multiple times to no avail. Will not get past the white HTC screen.

It sat for at least 10 minutes. I always let a fresh rom sit for awhile. It just never got to the splash screen.
format system, that is one thing that most people miss.
I always backup my stuff then format /cache, /system, /data, & /sdcard so the phone is completely fresh. Then I re-install my backup app and restore my backups to the sdcard. I realize that formatting the sdcard is not necessary, but I just prefer having my the phone completely fresh. Most of my data is in the "cloud" anyways, so very little needs to be restored.
Personally I never really wipe the /system, as it is done automatically before the ROM installs. I do wipe /cache, /data, and /dalvick 3 times, just to make sure it works. The ROMS install without a hiccup, now if I could just get the Wi-Fi to stop causing my phone to lock up.
My recommendation would be format system manually just in case cause I have always done that and never had issues with a rom install. Liquid Ics jmod is running o so smooth for me.
