I'm unlocked, rooted, s-off, and on SkyFall Rom. Every so often my screen will lock up and I can't access anything. If I power off screen and power up it will work again momentarily. Other times the phone operates normally. Does anyone know anything about this?

Sounds like something in the ROM.
You might want to flash an update for that ROM, or just dirty flash that same ROM,

Ok so I was a victim of theft and got my Thunderbolt stolen, sux I know so I got my replacement brand new. I rooted following jcase's thread then proceeded to flash B.A.M.F. 1.7, clean wiped everything about 4 times to be on the safe side. The problem is it wont boot past the splash screen...just flashes goes black vibrates flashes goes black. Thought it was the Rom so tried The perfect Storm and same thing also tried flashing different kernels and still the the same s**t and its really starting to piss me off. With a battery pull i can get into recovery but i dunno what the f**k is up. I succeeded once at a full boot but when i reboot for whatever reason its the same s**t all over again. I don't know what to do or how to figure this out any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all for reading and thanks for your time!
Are you wiping data and cache before flashing each ROM?

yes sir religiously
How long have you waited for it to go past the boot flash screen? Sometimes it might take a while to boot up because it is your first time booting up after all.......

That sounds bad, can you get it back to stock to see if it works?

Be very careful using GB. It has a somewhat annoying habit of bricking phones. I wish I could offer some better advice about the ROMs. I used to have that happen on my D1. Some ROMs just didn't like it. Have you tried flashing the ROM, when it gets hung, do a battery pull and then try to reboot it? Sometimes that will get it past whatever is messing with it.
I have the US version of galaxy s3, but it won't let me post in any of the US version's forums for some reason. Anyway, on to the problem.
When i turn my phone on, it boots, i unlock lock screen, and touchwiz home repeatedly force closes about every 5 seconds, along with contacts. I was rooted, but haven't flashed anything. haven't done anything other than root the phone, and it has been about 2-3 weeks since that was done, and have not had a problem until tonight. The problem was completely random, i pulled the phone out of my pocket and turned the screen on and it rebooted. I have the logcat in my dropbox if anyone can look at it and see what might have happened? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/91650856/LogCat_Default_Sat0728_05326.txt
Help please!
Better start a thread in the US forum, this forum is for the International S3.

Sometimes things just don't write properly. Installation of software is always a game of chance, it just usually comes out correctly!
I have the Verizon S4 i545, obviously. Rooted right after getting it in June. Still on Android 4.2.2, kernel 3.4.0-562219, build number i545VRUAMDK. I have never updated anything. Tried, tbh, but OTA fails. But whatever. I have never had an issue with anything, until a few days ago. Now, whenever my phone turns on, regardless of whether it was restarted or powered down then on, It hangs at the Verizon animation, then finally goes to my lockscreen with no notification bar. Phone is essentially useless at this point because when I unlock my phone, I get a black screen that does nothing. Only way to fix it, is to pull the battery, then power on. Works every time. I have no idea what happened to cause this. I have not removed anything system related recently. Any ideas?
I would like to fix the problem and leave it. But if I can't, I might be flashing a new rom.

Are you running a custom rom.
No I'm not. Everything is untouched except for the root process. That's it.

I would guess to flash VRUAMDK no wipe factory image.

I don't really know, I've never encountered a problem like that yet.
Ok. Might try flashing the factory image.
A few days ago my phone became extremely slow and apps would crash after opening. I went and flashed a update on my rom, and thought maybe it would be fixed. But that didn't change anything, so instead I tried to flash an entirely new rom (after wiping my old data) and see how that would go. But instead it was even worse. On the opening screen when I click on the button to continue from the language selection my screen turns black with only the status bar. Then after about 20 seconds the entire screen turns black and unresponsive. When I press the screen the bottom lights turn on and when I hold the power button the phone vibrates as if the power options appear. The only way to get rid of this is to pull the battery or hold the power button until it reboots. I thought it would be possible there was a virus on my sdcard, so I reformatted the entire card. I tried flashing many different roms and the things still happened. I tried flashing without gapps and the welcome screen never showed up. But after a few seconds the same thing happened again. Now my phone is in a completely useless state, can someone please help me? I feel like it it's a hardware problem, but it doesn't seem like anything that could be related to something like that. If it's a hardware problem please help me try to find the part that's broken. Thanks in advance.
TL;DR: My phone black screens (which cannot be removed unless I reboot my phone) after 20 seconds upon loading ANY rom.
Some of it sounds like a stuck power button, but more off are you flashing a rom for your device and is it a true CLEAN flash.
Gots to be clean
You did not mention what you were running or trying to flash. You didnt even mention your device.
Maybe it is i717, but there are a few variants.

Oh sorry, yea the flash was completely clean, I used DARKSIDE Super Wipe plus formatted/wiped everything.
The roms that I tried were Beanstalk, Liquid Smooth, PAC, and Cyanogen
My device is the T879, which is the T-Mobile version of the i717, and I posted here because the other forum is really inactive.

Did you ever find the fix..? I'm getting the same problem.. I'm about to reflash backk to stock.
Hey all I've been testing the new Insertcoin rom for my HTC ZARA_UL (Rogers Canadian) and everything seemed stable for a bit but a couple of things I have noticed are when my screen stays in standby for too long it wont turn back on I have to reboot my phone and other than that every now and then I get random restart issues where my phone will stay on for maybe 5 min tops then reboot and continue this process for random amounts of time. Sometimes I can go all day without any issues however and others I'll go for hours in a row with this problem. Not sure what to post/ how to get any debug info but direct me and I will dump any logs that I can to help solve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My bootloader screen is as follows:
Tampered
Unlocked
ZARA_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000
RADIO-1.26.40e.00.14
OpenDSP-v18.2.0268.0925
OS-2.14.631.3
eMMC-boot 1024MB
Feb 26 2014, 12:27:49.0
**generic hboot options**
Currently using PhilZ Touch 6.26.4 recovery as twrp requires touch input and I have a few dead zones on my digitizer that deny my ability to properly flash through it.
I have a similar issue. Sometimes when i turn my phone off, 3 mins later my phone reboots sometimes its in bootloop. I replaced it and the battery and it makes no diff. Im not sure why it happens. Im on stock rom and jb. Its s-off and unlocked. Its possible that it causes by high humidity

Quite possible I know that it was some internal water damage causing my digitizer malfunctions however I have tried a few other roms and this is the only one that has these issues that I can tell.
Update** removed the security lock screen entirely and it seems to havbe fixed the need to restart the phone after staying in standby for too long and so far no random reboots/bootlooping. Hopefully just my phone not liking the lock screen for some reason?? Will post updates after a few more days use to see if the issues were all cleared up or not.
Speaking of Insertcoin restart issues...
Everything about this ROM is better than stock, but one of the goodies seems to be misbehaving. (I'm using the CL version)
Every time I try to use InsertCoin Kontrol to make any tweaks whatsoever, when I hit that refresh button, the phone reboots immediately with nothing changed. I've re-flashed it a couple of times, both dirty and clean, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
(Made sure that I didn't inadvertently upgrade Kontrol with the M7/M8 rom stuff that just got pushed, nope.)
Perhaps I have an app that's not playing nice, but I haven't found it yet, not sure what sort of fault causes the phone to reboot immediately like that. Or is that what "refresh" means......
