Hello Axon 7 XDA Users,
as you know, more and more users have a stupid reboot bug. Unfortunately no DEV found the time to take a look into the logs I and other users posted on the forums.
THE BUG
Soft reboots and boot loops at least once a day
- while charging
- while watching videos or surfing
- even then turned off (Ghost booting)
SOFTWARE AND DEVICES
Reports on nearly all custom roms based on LOS
All A2017 / 2017 U / 2017 G models
WORKING SOLUTIONS
A
I seem to have fixed the problem and want to ask you to try my method:
The problem is probably caused by Magisk, all versions from 13.5 till 14.5x beta
After switching to LineageOS integrated root method I am reboot-free since 3 days of intense usage.
Tutorial to uninstall magisk:
- Download magisk-uninstaller and LOS root addon on LOS ROMs (Downloads are attached)
- Reboot into recovery
- Install magisk uninstaller zip file
- Reboot into recovery (maybe not necessary)
- Install LOS root addon
- Wipe dalvik and cache.
- Profit :good: and report back
B
Only use magisk v14 or try 15.2
THX @notese
C
Try disabling Magisk hide
THY @digiNZM
I don't use magisk and I still have reboots. Reboots occur about once or twice a week.

Thank you for your feedback.
Maybe you should post what setup you have and which apps you are using with root / xposed access or mods.
I had the reboot issue with the latest lineage os and magisk on b25 universal bootstack.
Currently using Dark ROM with magisk on b32 bootstack for the past week or so and no reboots.

My setup is pretty plain vanilla, no mods. I have the lineage root installed, but it's disabled most of the time.
If I remove Magisk and go with Lineage root, will I lose Safetynet? I need Android Pay to work.
I had the problem with random soft reboots for quite a few months. There would be no similarities between when the reboots happened, for example it would occur whilst watching YouTube videos, browsing Google Maps or even just leaving the phone in sleep mode. Someone on XDA suggested switching from Magisk v14.5 Beta to stable Magisk v14.0, and since then I haven't had a problem.
Advising people to ditch Magisk altogether might not be the best advice, as for me just switching back to the stable version worked. Remember there have been beta versions of Magisk v14.0 for months and it was definately affecting v14.3 as well as v14.5.
That's weird.
I'm using magisk myelf for a long time and never had reboot issues. :/
Only when using incompatible modules or bad settings.
Maybe that's where the real issue is.
P. S.
I'm using latest stable magisk on latest stable RR for a while no and I get zero reboots.

You probably read my advise. My fav rom is AOSP Ex and it was driving me nuts the whole random reboot thing. Your description of the symptoms are exactly like the ones I was having. At the beginning I though it was an issue with substratum but it kept happening even without having substratum installed.
I tried switching roms (Dark Rom, Lineage, and RR) and all had random reboots. The final epiphany I had was that I was using magisk beta 14.5 on all of them. I didn't install any custom kernel or any other thing beside magisk 14.5 and one module (viper). I tried reading at the logs but couldn't trace them back.
I figured to try AOSPex without root as the only common thing between the roms was magisk. After this, the reboots and crashes stopped (I tested this for a week). I started reading in the magisk forums and found people with the same symptoms as ours. I didn't see any major complain with the stable magisk 14.0.
My current setup is ASOP ex with llama kernel and magisk 14.0. I have had this for about two weeks and no random reboots so far. The only problem I have encountered was that I lost root access once and I had to reboot on my own account to regain root (maybe a module incompatibility, I have installed two additional modules since then). Other than that, all is good.
Final tip: I only turn on the magiskhide setting when I need it for a specific app. I have it off by default. I don't want an extra process running all the time if I don't need it or use it regularly (can only be a good thing for battery).
Hope this helps
I got the reboots even with magik v14.
Added @notese his solution to OP
I've only got Magisk for a month or so, but reboots began way before that. So I don't Magisk is the culprit.

What root method did you use before?
Which rom?
Which root apps?
If you provide us some more, maybe we can hit the sweet spot of the bug.

Had Reboots with Magisk v14.x in different ROMs (Vertex, AICP, AOSP) and with different Kernels. Since i disabled Magisk-Hide it stopped (past 3 weeks). Maybe a weird coincidence. Just thougt i share this. Maybe someone can try too?
Current: AICP (unofficial), LLAMA non-EAS Kernel, Magisk latest (v14.5), MicroG.

I always had magisk hide disabled and had the reboot problems.
I will add your solution to topic
I personally had some reboot and bootloop problems while on AICP and LlamaSweet and I thought it was the rom. However I then went to Dark Rom with LlamaSweet and the reboots happened again. I posted about this and someone mentioned 14.5 might be the problem. I installed 14.0 and for the past week? I haven't had a problem. So for me it seems so far to be 14.5 as well. Also as of right now I have BeastMode kernel running. Has anyone tried 14.6 yet?
I will post screenshot of my superuser and modules pages.
I have the latest beta version of Magisk and I have reboots once or twice a day, but not necessarily all days. I have the stock camera and "Enable AK4490 HIFI DAC" magisk modules.
I had reboots on the latest DarkRom, Magisk many times a day for at least a month and a half. Since hurricane Maria cell service was almost impossible to find. I noticed everytime my phone lost coverage it would reboot.
Changed sim to another carrier with great coverage just a few weeks ago and reboots have since gone away. Hmmm

Did it hang in the soft reboot loop?

Nope, it would just reboot everytime I drove thru certain areas. For instance, as soon as I passed my towns high school, boom restart.
If I had 3G then all of a sudden it dropped to zero bars, boom restart.
The only way I would not get the reboots was installing DrakenFXs B32 with Magisk. Or turning on airplane mode when I knew I would go thru an area with no service.
Convinced me LOS based rom had problems with handling towers and low signal. I tried them all same reboots.
@eaponte23
your problem seems to be different and is a combination of modems and your provider. I know that there has been similar problems with CM /LOS based ROMs on other devices, depending on the Service provider. These lead to total signal loss or reboots.
The Magisk problem is cauing constant reboots.
After rooting my s9+ with the modified Magisk, my phone sometimes becomes unresponsive. I cannot identify any sort of trigger for this to happen, it just does. The AOD displays but does not update. The notification LED still blinks, but when I go to unlock the phone it freezes and I am forced to soft reset it. I am root with Magisk and have TWRP installed. I followed Max Lee's tutorial on how to root the S9+. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?
Hey, Did you have any luck with this, i am having the exact same issue?
having the same problem i followed Max Lee video and everything work fine until the phone started freezing
same issue on the G960F/DS....
wonder who can help us regarding with this issue.
For everyone having this freezing after rooting...attention to detail is absolute paramount, go back and re-read the twrp thread by jesec. For those (possibly those having freezing issues) who find that challenging, here is a snippet of jesec exact words..." Samsung implemented security measures such as "Real-time Kernel Protection (RKP)" and "RKP Control Flow Protection".
Those security measures are intended to block control flows such as privilege escalation, memory kernel code modification, etc which are not authorized by Samsung.
If those are not disabled, processes (such as daemon of root solutions) that violated those security rules will fall into deadlock.
Deadlocked processes will then consume large amount of resources (leads to performance issues, battery drains) and eventually crash the system.
Technically it is possible to disable those security measures by hex editing stock kernel but just simply flash a custom kernel is better in my opinion.
TL;DR: Flash custom kernel before root or be screwed.
To reiterate...flash a custom kernel before root or be SCREWED
I'm not saying this is 100% u guys issue, but seems kinda likely?
can someone post links or steps on how to fix this freezing lock screen issue, i tried reading the threads but did not find anything, thanks
I was facing the exact same issue after using his tutorial.
I've tested SOD Killer from the Playstore so far it's working fine! No freezes anymore .
Installing a custom kernel like elementalX should also work.

Can we flash this Elementalx over the N965F_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices/Magisk we already installed ?
I already installed the TWRP, No-verity opt encrypt and the N965F_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices package on my friend's 960F.
I would be really greatful if anyone could help me with this.
I had the same issue after having troubles initially getting Lineage flashed and working on my S9.
I removed Magisk, reset and it still was freezing after a lock.
I reflashed Lineage through TWRP and now all seems to be back to normal with no freeze after lock.
Possibly try the steps I did and see if they worked out for you.
hey guys, you solved the issue?
i experience same Problem..
Any one notice , this issue occurs after we apply lock screen password or biometric security. in my device i notice, when i apply lockscreen password or biometric lock my phone freeze. after i remove all lock and set default to swipe...its not freezing. anyone sees that
I solved the same issue (1 hour ago, so I hope it's fixed now) installing first:
ElementalX Kernel
and than installing:
G965_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V5 (the lastest available right now)
Following the instruction on the XDA Thread
Hope this can be helpfull to solve it
Its because of dm verity issues...i assume that you rooted the phone over an odin flashable stock rom. To fix this try installing either a patched stock kernel from Soldiers website or other custom kernels if you consider doing over(under)clocking.

What is the different in Soldie between Patched Kernel and ELS custom kernel?
Hey guys,
Newbie here. I am very excited about my new yet to be received phone - X829 using EUI 5.8.016S (Stable).
I care about call quality, camera quality, sound quality using the CDLA technology headphones (in this order).
I don't consider myself a heavy user - I talk maybe 30 mins per day maximum, light web browsing, no gaming...
Should I stick to the stock rom supplied EUI 5.8.016S or is it worth upgrading to something else? Like, will a custom ROM yield better call quality, camera quality and sound quality than the stock rom?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi, i am also a X829 user and i would suggest you to try recently released EUI 6.0.030s, which has great battery life and network receiving, of course quite stable.Camera quality is also good.
This one is the same rom modified by CrisBallGreece that includes system adblocker by default and preinstalled magisk manager, removed unnecessary leeco apps and chinese garbage apps.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. How do I get the 'cleaned-up' version installed? Not familiar with either super su or magisk. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? The threads I found make reference to super su but can't download it from the official website. Sorry if this was already addressed in a different thread...
Thanks a lot!
Follow this link :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/protocol-backup-stock-rom-flash-stock-t3517151
First of all, you should unlock your bootloader and flash twrp (a custom recovery mode, allows you flash rom).
Download rom and gapps then put them to your device, backup your data.Reboot to recovery mode.Press wipe - wipe data, go back and press install - find the rom you copied and flash it.Once the phone booted, go back to recovery and flash gapps in the same way then reboot.That's it.
This is the only way to flash any type of rom.
Btw, magisk is a root manager like the supersu, gives you root access of the system.
Hi,
Thanks for the very informative post. I got my phone yesterday and started to play with it As expected, I had some hard time installing the EUI 6 CBG version. I think it's because I installed a very recent (if not the most recent) version of TWRP...From memory, the one I installed is 3.2.2...Anyhow, EUI seemed to install fine and I got the success message displayed in TWRP along with the note 'phone will reboot in 5 seconds' or something like that - which never happened.
I then installed Lineage OS 15 Oreo because I didn't know how to downgrade TWRP.
So do you think that the problem I had was because of the TWRP version I used? how does one downgrade that?
Also, I installed the Gapps (https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...x-lineageos-15-1-oreo-leeco-le-max-2-t3771577) but Google services gives an error message...'Google stopped working'. Is there a workaround for that?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi mate,
Right after that " phone will reboot ..." note, you should have rebooted the device by pressing and holding the power button for 8-9 secs and it would be fine.
No, latest twrp version works fine and is compatible with this firmware.
Hmm, you can try to delete the app data of google play services.Have you flashed the los 15 with full wipe ?
Btw los 15 is not mature enough.It still has some battery consumption problems and the battery life lasts not as long as EUI's. + I don't know if it has CDLA sound mod but it doesn't contain dolby digital sound.
Hi,
I believe I did a full wipe (dalvik, cache, system, data).
I will try again to flash EUI 6 by CBG tonight.
The workaround for gapps was to flash them at the same time with LOS 15. Previously I flashed LOS 15, rebooted into the system, went back to recovery twrp and then flashed the gapps.
Thanks!
Yeah, flashing the gapps with rom in a row is not a workaround, its a must-to-do.Unfortunately i forgot to mention this to you.Apologises..
Great, thanks a lot! it worked. I'm getting used to it right now. Will play with this ROM for a couple of weeks and then try something else...I was thinking SLIM7...any thoughts on it? have you tried it? any red flags?
Thanks!
I am also thinking to move that rom, but later.Well its the final version so no bugs.But i don't know if it supports cdla sound mod, do you know ?

Not sure if it supports CDLA...I tried this rom briefly the other day and I had a hard time with the camera...battery seemed to deplete quite fast, but I'm sure it can improved with different settings, greenify, etc...try it and let me know if you like it.
Which other roms have you tried?
Thanks!
Most non-eui roms will have slightly worse battery life making greenify an absolute must.
But if you want a non-eui rom (like me, I just hate eui) I recommend lineage 15.1 or du12 by infrag(my current rom).
Hi man, after a long time, I had a change to try different rom, named mokee 7.1.2 (nougat).Well, it's not bad, performance is excellent, not a single lag at all. Also the battery backup is good, not perfect as EUI but acceptable.
Pros of this rom are, it's being updated in a nightly period and Android security patch is dated as august 5 2018 !
You may check it out if you are interested..
Regards.
I am also on DU12 thinking to try 1 of Android P roms, is it time or to wait ?

Try Aex Treble Pie, you will be satisfied.
I unloacked my boot loader and rooted my device but after that i am facing different problems. My phone heats up quickly. Slows down. Google playstore force closed and cant copy text to clipboard which is weird.
If i flash elementalx kernel camera doesn't work. There are so many firmwares available which is confusing. Can anyone tell me which firmware/rom should i flash in twrp. Which stock rom/ firmware version?
Everytime when I leave my phone Idle just like for 10 minutes, when I return and tried to use it, the device seems to be turned off. Cannot be turned on unless I will force shutdown and reboot (Long press Power button and double vibrate feedback)
I've never encounter this issue since when using stock rom or SyberiaOS, HavocOS and LineageOS build 20190307. I am on latest Nightly build of LineageOS. I will try and contact one of the devs to try and check on about this.
LineageOS Build 20190310
eXtremeKernel v9.1 69HZ
I will try changing custom kernel. From eXtremeKernel to Sphinx and others. Then test them if one of them has no random system shutdown
The last time I used Lineage OS with a custom kernel it was pretty common to have major issues(black screen, shutdowns). There's a very high chance that it's a kernel issue causing the shutdowns. Either try a different kernel or revert back to the default kernel, Lineage OS works great with the stock kernel and if you want to keep the reliability then you'll have to stick with it.

Yepp.. Found an issue in eXtremeKernel. Will test and analyze it before sending it to the devs on both Kernel's devs and LOS16 I think.
But it works well with Sphinx Kernel, no random shutdowns and errors were found.
