Hi guys! I have my s6 edge for a while now and I have flashed too many roms over and over again.
My problem is that recently it just randomly crash whenever I do heavy games or sometimes after I unlock and go to the camera. I had to do the power + volume up reset in order to reboot the phone. Sometimes when it freezes the music still goes on.
I was wondering if this is a firmware problem or hardware? The phone is almost 2 years old. I flashed a custom kernel for nougat before I flashed the stock rom using odin. I really need your help and opinions. Thanks!
tldr; I should have verified if I have flashed the stock kernel even if I flashed it with odin because the custom kernel may have caused the random freezes.
What I did was flashed all the roms that I have saved and finally flashed the latest stock UK Nougat firmware.
Maybe it was because I flashed a N0G33K [mm/n] before I flashed the stock MM, which didn't overwrite the old kernel with the stock.
Hope this helps for someone in the future!

Ermm the other day I rooted my sgp 5 us version for the first time and used entropy's kernel and eriyigit's custom rom. Everything went rather smoothly after flashing the rom. But then after reading more in the forums, it seemed to me that chip's rom was swifter. After flashing to chip's rom I wasn't able to connect my sgp to my laptop anymore no matter how hard I tried so i flashed back to eriyigit's but then it started bootlooping so I went back to chip's (But I still couldn't connect to our computer) then finally back to a stock based firmware wherein it still bootlooped. After recovering through certain circumstances I then flashed back to chip's to check whether maybe something happened before hand in eriyigit's rom or something might have conflicted with it that caused it to not be detected by the computer. But it still failed so again it bootlooped after going eriyigit's then recovered it. After finally settling for eriyigit's rom my sgp suddenly had a performance decrease it lagged horridly, way worse than before it was rooted. I even tried installing chainfire 3d and an adrenaline which to no avail still failed. I was wondering what can I do to restore its previous performance. Or should I go back to a stock based firmware. (btw im still using entropy's kernel)
Hi all
Im new to android and have been tweaking my samsung s4 for a couple of months now. I have a Samsung S4 GT I9505 with TWRP boot recovery , nova launcher prime and KitKat 4.4 Google play edition Rom. I have also flashed Faux Kernel onto my phone to prevent random restarts. The problem is I am still getting restarts (about 8 a day) the problem was a lot worse before I re-flashed it with the same kernel. I have tried flashing it again but I still get the same problem. Also some of my apps restart more often then before I had the custom ROM (GPE)
Help would be most appreciated
Thanks

I had my s2 hard bricked and now i got a new motherboard for it, the thing is that on all stock roms (2.3 and 4.1.2) the phone works perfectly but all the custom roms 4.4 5.0 6.0 the cellular does not work, it gives me no service, tried flashing modem from cwm but no change.
i also tried different recoveries etc but custom rom no service
sometimes in custom rom imei used to be blank but it comes back after reboot, in stock no issues at all
any idea what im doing wrong or is there something up with the new board?
thanks,
Update
I was searching and I read somewhere that installing NeatROM by Sale will help, i downloaded and installed it, the good news is that cellular works and i have full 3G access.
Question: How to proceed further?
i could experiment but the thing is that if i flash a non-working rom (no cellular), i will have to flash stock from odin and start all over again
any ideas?
Update 2
i tried NeatROM and it worked perfectly, then i tried installing slimLP and boom, no service again, this time,my IMEI was blank too, so now i'm flashing stockrom again.
any idea anyone please?
Hi everyone. I've been using this phone for like... 3 years now? It's a great phone but it's showing it's age. Anyway, no money to change it yet so I'm willing to stick to it for at least one more year.
I was using CM11 with Boeffla Kernel and it was working great. But from time to time it failed to boot (something related to CM11). But this was not really often. It happened to me like 2 or 3 times in a year.
Anyway, I got tired of it and I wanted a pure stable experience, I didn't care to have the latest android installed. So I flashed back to stock 4.3 with ODIN. Then I flashed Archidroid 1.7.18 (which is based on the official 4.3 rom from samsung). And I flashed the corresponding Boeffla Kernel (5.11).
The thing is that the phone started to soft reboot from time to time without an apparent reason. Like, 5 times a day. It does not cold reboot (I don't see the boot logo). The Boeffla kernel says on the notification "DEFAULT profile applied after a hot or soft reboot".
I tried with an older Boeffla (5.6), it still happens. I tried with STOCK kernel, and it still occurs. Then I flashed another almost stock 4.3 ROM, with stock kernel and it still does it!!
I've tried with latest TWRP and latest Philz Touch too!
It could be an app? How to I identify the culprit?
Ok. Just to give some closure to this "born dead" thread, I've flashed latest Philz Touch Recovery (6.59.0), latest Blekota Rom (Ported 4.4.4 Based), and finally latest Boeffla Kernel for Samsung kk 4.4.4
And...... no more soft reboots. Everything is working GREAT. Amazing ROM by the way. Extremely recommended. :good:
Hello. I used to have cm13+radon kernel. For some time after, I flashed a newer version of cm13, then when speaking on the phone, I experience call drops. I call someone, it accepts the call, but after some seconds (sometimes it's 2 secs and sometimes it's 30 secs) the call drops. But
Then I flashed an older version of cm13 + flashed radon again. But same thing! Then I flashed the rom again (no custom kernel this time) and no problem with calls. Fast forward, yesterday I flashed RR 5.8.0 + agni kernel+cam libs. Same thing happened again. I tried some cm14 firmware, but nothing changed. (actually I bricked the phone.)
Anyway now I am on RR 5.7.4 (nougat roms are buggy without kernels) and no custom kernel. What might be the problem? I can't flash custom kernels.
First thing i would suggest is installing the complete stock MIUI ROM through fastboot, and running that a few days to see if you still get the same issues.
If you don't, then you know it is something that is being done when you install the CM roms. Could be a firmware that you need to flash, could be something with CM or the rom's themselves, or the custom kernels.
You have to do process of elimination here.

Without flashing kernel, there wont be a problem i guess because, right now I dont have the issue. (rr 5.7.4 no custom kernel). It shouldnt be kernel end, because i havent heard anyone beside me experiences this.
