I have i9300 w/stock 4.1.2 rooted. The last few weeks, it started freezing and sometimes rebooting itself. Sometimes it will freeze and not respond with lock screen on. Sometimes it will not respond to pushing a button to wake it up when screen is off. In the beginning, it was once a week. Now it is once or twice a day.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!!
Basic stickied faqs and guides read the freezing and sudden death syndrome threads .

I can link you a quote about the freezing

The phone freezes when writing data to an affected eMMC block.
An eMMC block is affected, when it's internal block pararameters (as f.e. write count for that block) are in such a state, that these parameters trigger a corrupted block without SD-fix (4.1.1) or trigger a freeze with SD-fix (4.1.2).
When a phone is hitting an affected block with a writiing operation is completely unpredictable.
So these freezes can occur on almost each situation on the smartphone when it writes data.
But you have indeed a higher chance to trigger a freeze when writing much data.

Here is a link to that tread click here
If you don't like the freezing i would suggest to flash a stock rom like MB5 or something newer many people reported that they newer had freezing with those roms including myself i used MB1 , MB5 and MC2.
Instruction on how to flash a rom (THIS IS ONLY FOR GT-i9300 International S3 model)
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
1. Download the firmware (download I9300XXEMC2 here provided by Faryaab)
2. Extract the firmware only once when you get a .tar file don't extract it any further you should also have another file there a small one named something like SS_DL.dll
3. Open the included Odin (click here to download uploaded by Faryaab)
4. Turn off your device
5. Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
6. Connect your device to the PC
7. Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
8. Then finally click START!
When its done your device should boot normally but its recommend that you wipe data and cache for best performance (this will reset your device)
9. Put your device into recovery mode (Home + Volume Up + Power)
10. Chose wipe data then wipe cache and then chose reboot .
Here is the original tread were i got the firmwares and the guide click here
What is strange about my experience is that I never had it at all before a couple of weeks ago. And now ... Nothing changed except perhaps a couple of new apps.
Hummm....
Try a factory reset first.

I linked you a tread about the issue , the bug is in eMMC and the phone dies after about 9 monts but as you have an early 4.1.2 rom with a bug fix that prevents it from dying it starts freezing but the rom i suggested should have a newer fix that doesn't involve freezing . I installed the newer roms because i feared my device was going to die and i don't have warranty , also factory reset should help you but it would only last a few days if you have the SDS issue then it would start freezing again. If you have warranty on the device then stay on that rom and hope your phone will die so you can get it to samsung to fix it for you or you can flash the newer official samsung stock roms and hopefully get rid of the freezing .
Sorry for my english i learned it by playing mmorpgs
Hi, I have a strange problem with my Xerpia Z2..
After flashing a cyanogen mod to test it out.. it`s not possible for me to get a working generic Android system anymore.
The smartphone stuck in a caint of "bootloop" or, if it start android at last, it reboots after a short while automaticly.
The bootloop is like this:
Screen: Shows 10 sec. sony-logo -> than 2 sec. black screen -> than 5 sec. sony-logo -> than it starts from beginning..
The bootloop-lenght varied until it starts finally into android.. sometime it doesn`t come to that point, and it reboots for a very long period (until I get annoyed and shut it down)
I have trying the following things to solve that issue:
- Flashing several stockroms wirh flashtool (D6503_17.1.2.A.0.314_Generic DE.ftf / D6503_23.0.1.A.0.167_Customized DE.ftf)
- trying to reset the hole phone with the xperia "emma" tool
- trying to reset the hole phone with the pc companion software
.. in my opinion, the problem could be find in the bootloader/recovery.. I don`t think it`s a hardware issue, because cyanogen mod is still runs without problems. Maybe some cyanogen remains are still leftover in the bootloader, that don`t work with generic android versions.. that`s what I can imagine. (but i`m not an expert
I don`t get why flashing the phone doesn`t solve the issue., it almost seems that the flash process don`t touch the bootloader, to overwrite it with stock parameters (?) or does not fix that area which is responsible for that issue..
Phone status at this time:
Not root - not unlocked - no backup of TA - DRM Keys (The guy that I bought that phone from, saddly doesn`t do a backup /
Before you flash the stock rom, are you clearing the Dalvik cache?
Whenever I've been through instructions on flashing roms, that always seems to be a step, but I didn't see you mention doing that before flashing.

Hi, I did that.. the 3 checkboxes in Flashtool are always enabled (Wipe: Cache, APPLOG. Data)
Hi guys!
It is a bit crazy story so I will give you some details about it ...
I have an Ace 3 Duos GT-S7272 crazy device. I used to have so many issues with it but managed to solve it such as when I encrypted the external SDcard and it was the stupidest thing to do in an Android (cause it didn't actually encrypt a shi*) it just caused my phone to stuck in a bootloop as long as any SDcard is in it, remove it and all will work fine
- ((I somehow managed to fix it and it worked with SDcard but it used to reboot once then on the second boot it was almost perfect!))
- one day out of a sudden, stuck in a strange bootloop!! it boots fine to the startup and I can use it normally for 2 to 4 seconds and it REBOOTS again and again!
- I wiped cache didn't work ,,, still bootlooping
- I tried Safe Mode the same bootlooping
- I am leaving the Factory Reset option as my last resort and I am seeking your help guys so I don't lose my really important information on it !
- it is rooted ((but as I googled around I get the stock menu of Vup+M+power))
- I don't have a back up ((I have bad experiences with Backups))
- I strongly think that it can be saved without losing my information, cause it starts up normally for few seconds ((2 to 4)) and I could change things like Airplane Mode on/off
I really appreciate any help guys,,, I have been googling for days about this
Hi,
I'm facing a strange Black Screen Problem even after booting of the phone successfully every time. I can see the lock screen every time for like 2-3 seconds then suddenly entering to black screen automatically if I try to unlock or don't attempt to do so. The phone is able to ring if I try to make a call from other no. but won't able to pick up because there is no option to answer or decline the call. If I hit the power button all power menu buttons are coming like to reboot, power off , airplane mode etc but some how I'm not able to access the phone from inside.
Please note that last time when the phone was running fine I saw one error like android.system.mui has stopped working and everything was crashing so I had to reboot my phone and ultimately landed into this issue. Also my internal storage was like 600-500 MB free that time.
I'm on miui 9 official for Redmi Note 4 ( 32GB version SD 625).
I'm a new member of XDA and I haven't read all the rules yet, so I apologies if I do any mistake please correct me if I'm wrong as this my first post in XDA. I respect all the community guidelines.
Please provide the working solution for this.
A few quick questions as follows
- Do I have to install TWRP recovery for the same to clear cache which i think it may resolve the issue just removing the cache?
- I'm not sure about Miui recovery 3.0 clear data option to clear cache as i don't really want to erase my all important documents, photos, videos, notes in my phone.
- How can I recover my data if I had to reset my device ?
Please guide me for the above issue.
I really appreciate all your concerns.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav Kumar
I have exactly same problem, please help with solution.

Are you able to boot into the recovery and use it? Or does the recovery shows the black screen also?
hey I`ve just got the same problem in Redmi note 4, did u find any solution?...
so far what i did till now is, flash Red Wolf Recovery, wipe, DALVICK, CACHE and DATA (not the internal storage where is your info), the wipe is like a factory reset, is the only solution I`ve found so far.
any ideas?

Do you have a unlocked bootloader? If you don't then possibly resetting device from recovery is the only thing.
Does this issue already solved? I also have the same issue but I don't know how to fix it. Please help me
HI
I have the same problem, I tried using the fastboot (power+volume down) and nothing happened, I tried the recovery mode (power + volume up) and I got three options, (reboot, wipe data, connect with mi assistant) the first would reboot the phone to the same problem, the second one I don't want to wipe all data or reset the phone as I want to retrieve the data on it, I tried the third and downloaded the mi pc suite, but the phone doesn't show on my pc, I receive the no device detected even after connecting my phone with USB
I have the same issue on my Mi Max 2!!!
And the developer mode isn't possible to enable, because of this black screen!
Please help!

I updated my Mi Note 4 system software yesterday to MIUI 9.6 (me thinks), but it is having booting issues. I struggled 2 hours last night to get it started but in the morning I noticed that the fingertip sensor isnt working. I cleared cache, added new finger print, still the problem persisted and then I read on the forum to power off and restart the phone. I clicked on power off and since then my phone is not rebooting. The screen in black, I can hear phone calls, msg notifications. I have tried pressing the power button for 40 seconds (as per the MI Support Tech's advice), followed by using the fastboot (power+volume down) and nothing happened, I tried the recovery mode (power + volume up). Still nothing is showing. The Mi logo and android restart option isn't showing only. The phone is black. I can see navigation light and the blue light blinking on the top left when msg/notification comes. I haven't taken a back up since many many months. I don't want to lose my data. Please help.

Why don't you throw your data in a PC or a memory card? Also guys if im not mistaken you can not rollback from MIUI 10 to an earlier version if you update via the OTA right?Or else your phoned will be bricked am i right? Someone confirm this cause its risky.
Solution for mi black screen.
Hello friends,
I think the issue in sensors, because when i bump my mobile on my hand the screen wake up suddenly but some time screen in hang position but when i try it one or more time its working normally .
Same issue
Hi, I recently updated to the 9.6.2.0 in my Mi note 4 and after reboot it started to go off and on (only the backlight (touch layer worked)). I rebooted several times and get it going. after few minutes went black again and after reboot the fingerprint sensor stopped working (HW diagnostics saying error if you try to test it) and then the battery status started act weir. If i plug phone to charger, no matter how many % i ve got it charge only 1% (after hour or so)and if i unplug it lose 5% in 5 seconds and stays there for amount of time till the battery reach the same percentage as the indication is sayin.
TBH pretty weird and pretty annoying.
And yes it is probably sensor ( or a driver? ) because turning phone up-side down or covering the proximity sensor osometimes help.
I dont want to wipe my phone until it is necessary.
Is it because of update?
Thank you

Hello guys,
I hav annoying problem - almost everyday, when I receive call - my phone freezes and restarts.
Does any have such problem or idea how to resolve it ?
Try turning off global power management ie adaptive battery, disable unused apps etc.
Clear system cache.
If it persists try in safe mode.
still no solution ?
Anyone ?

You did not mention what did you do before & after modifying something or applying any MODs? or just suddenly happen. No comments !
1) factory reset
2) if (1) does not solve the problem=> reflash new firmware
3) if (1) & (2) does not solve the problem=> Device defected => Samsung A/S center & return device
