[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
One thing I just noticed. If I'm running a stock unrooted rom, I won't be able to su. Say after the phone boots back up, how do I get at the log that would tell me the errors? I downloaded a logcat app and just watched things scroll by. I'm trying to wrap my head around this command and usage is why I'm asking. If I generate a log, how far back will the dump go or did that have to do with the switches/options for the logcat? Were they telling the os to create a log dump of errors or back in time a certain amount? I should google it but my ADD (self diagnosed and ex gf thought so) has my attention span at that of a gnat about now. LOL. Maybe a beer would help?! /me going to raid the refrigerator...

Re: Help with process of elimination with random rebooting.

Today different things have happened. FL24 was behaving itself so I flashed GB08. After the install, which was one click rooted, everything settled down but the play store wasn't wanting to download anything for a few minutes. The only program I got downloaded was adfree. The annoying sprint id kept trying to force itself upon me and I kept telling it no. Wifi was on but not connected and sprint connection optimizer was disabled. No stock programs were disabled in the applications manager. Strange thing I noticed was after the flash with the one click full root, the internal memory wasn't erased. There were remaining folders from FL24 still there. Maybe the person who made the one clicks forgot to enable that. I am certain the oc was not a nodata. Anyways, I formatted the internal storage through settings and did a full factory reset. After I installed only one app, adfree, a few minutes after the phone rebooted. Sorry for the explanation being slightly out of order. I am typing this on the phone and am not going to fix it at the moment cause the battery is going to die very soon. I installed logcat and have it recording and dumping files onto the internal memory and filtered for errors. That way I can look at the log easier after a reboot. Before when it rebooted, I was not rooted and didn't have terminal emulator installed yet so I didn't know if I could catch the log even minutes after a reboot and installing te. That is what has happened so far. I am thinking a hardware issue might have developed to cause it. Will have to wait and see after the nwxt reboot since I am prepared now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Here's a couple of logs with only errors filter enabled. I've had a reboot but not with any of these logs. I'm thinking that it might happen if the brightness is set to auto. Lots of errors with the same thing. Zipped file is 1.1mb.

Re: Help with process of elimination with random rebooting.

When you flashed GB08 from EL29, did you flash the One Click Restore? Or was it the No Data?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Re: Help with process of elimination with random rebooting.

Never nodatas. Flashing with cwm or Odin or mobile Odin or one click hasn't made any difference with reboots. Before, it was rebooting often but past few days it has settled down. Past few times I've been flashing the restore tar through Odin so it's nice and thorough. Haven't run root in awhile. Root can't be making it more unstable, can it?

Seeing lots of errors in the logs regarding lights, I turned off auto brightness to see if that stops reboots. I'm not completely sure yet but I think it might be helping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Re: Help with process of elimination with random rebooting.

Try flashing back to a EL29 restore then flash back to your current setup. Anytime I have trouble that's what I do and it seems to work well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Re: Help with process of elimination with random rebooting.

Is there something that EL29 has that seems to put everything in its proper place? I am getting the original unrooted tar of EL29 now and thought about letting it update itself and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Re: Help with process of elimination with random rebooting.

I'm just going to guess that by restoring back to EL29 works because it wipes everything clean and sets the partition table how it needs to be for EL29 that you get a good clean flash with no leftovers.

Be sure to make a backup of your internal SD because after being on JB and the partition table being changed, you might lose your data. Then after flashing EL29. Boot up once, get a GPS lock, then flash whatever ROM you want. If JB then Odin a JB build and then flash the custom JB ROM.

If you want an AOSP ROM, flash an ICS tar then boot up once. flash a safe kernel like EL26 and flash the AOSP ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Re: Help with process of elimination with random rebooting.

I flashed the original full tar of EL29 no root then went through stock recovery and updated all the way to FL24. It rebooted on me tonight again. Wifi, not connected, and Bluetooth were on. Bluetooth was connected. It happened when music was streaming over 3g, screen was off and I had two incoming texts. Went to unlock it by swiping the text circle, small hesitation then reboot. All the roms I've ran recently it's happening so I think it's a hardware issue that has just started since maybe late January. I don't know if I will take it back for a refurb or not. I'm not going to pay a deductible when I'm getting the s4 in about three months. I cannot make it happen either. It's completely random. If I brought it in and they tested it, it would most likely not happen. Don't know what to do or try now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I'm at a computer now so I can type this out easier now. To wrap things up, it has happened on custom roms gb ics & jb. It has happened on stock roms rooted and not rooted gb ics and jb. It has happened with oem batteries and aftermarket. On old batteries and not worn out batteries. The batteries I have now don't spin. The phone does it loaded up with programs and completely stock installs. On old installs or nandroid or new. It has happened with pc odin with tars and mobile odin. It has happened with zip installs from cwm. Both stock and custom recoveries and stock and custom kernels. I can't think of much else more to try. It has to be something, I'm suspecting a radio issue. It could be something else. I don't know how I could take it in and get it swapped without paying a deductible. I've had insurance for years and the last phone I took to the repair center was an evo 4g. That tells you how long ago that was. At least two or more years ago because I also had an epic 4g at the time too.

I have played dumb in the past but I don't know if I should tell them about all the things I've tried when seeing if it was a rom issue or not. I don't want to purposely brick it to get it changed out either but that would certainly show them at the store something is wrong with the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Re: Help with process of elimination with random rebooting.

Hmm... It must be a hardware issue like you're saying. Leave stock unrooted FL24 on there and see what Sprint has to say about the issue.

Re: (UPDATE: CAPTURED LOG) Help with process of elimination with random rebooting.

One last suggestion, don't know if you tried this or not.

What I have done is to do a stock install and leave phone alone with stock apps for like 24hrs, not installing any additional apps during this 24hr period and just using phone normally, stone stock so you can see if condition continues.

If issue stops then I will do a app by app install, giving some time inbetween app installs to see if issue reappears.

Oscar... what tapatalk version are you using?

Try getting the current one from Play and see if that fixes it.

(This sounds like the problems I was having where it hung and rebooted.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I was using the latest from the play store. I don't normally use it. I use xda app but I was trying to upload an attachment and neither app would do that. I tried with the built in browser and that wasn't happening either. All these hangs and/or reboots weren't with tapatalk installed. I brought in the phone today and tried to explain what happened. Told them about the logs and showed it to the guy who was assisting me. This was a repair center btw. At first he looked at me like I had three heads. I showed him a log and he asked me where I got this program from (catlog). He talked like he was going to try to reinstall the os and I told him that wouldn't make any difference. It will still reboot. I said I was so sure that wouldn't help that I would bet money that I will be back. He asked if I rooted it. I told him no (and thought that wouldn't make any difference anyways except for over underclocking maybe). I told him that I have done a full factory install with kies and it doesn't fix anything. I told him I suspected it was a hardware issue. He kept the phone because I had to get to work. I had an old feature phone activated. Getting through the night without a smartphone was absolute torture. I am hopelessly addicted to these things. I hope they give me a working refurb because the rebooting is getting more frequent. I have til june 1 until I can get a new phone so it's going to be a long 2.5 months until I can get the s4.

[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
If you can use your unlimited data plan on a phone, then there should be no issue on the Galaxy Camera. Essentially as far as data is concerned, it uses the same data traffic as a smartphone. You may be uploading more pictures, but if you are regularly connected to WiFi hotspots then you can minimise that usage too.

The irish O2 update includes "NK_Wallaby31413wwe_O2_Full.nbf". This is I assume the ce-rom part. Which file is the bootloader ?

If the bootloder is in fact included in the above file, what should be ticked & selected to write this to the SD card ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Start XDA ROM Image Tool. Select 'Write to SD card'. In the box, check both bootloader and Windows CE, in both boxes select the name of the .nbf file. Select the header type for the bootloader that is currently in the device, and remember that you'll need a little more work if the device has a 5.17. (Downgrade to Bootloader 5.15 or 5.14 if you can).

You can, after doing this, save the bootloader and CE part separately to XDA-developer format, as .nb0 (bootloader) and .nb1 (CE) files. Ofcourse you really shouldn't need to first write it to SD to do this. But hey, nobody's perfect...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] natantantan:
I decided to revert my phone back to stock. So i downloaded the stock rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27987827&postcount=1 and then bought mobile Odin.

I put the tar file on my phone and ran mobile Odin to flash the firmware. My phone only had 14% battery life left but i thought that was enough for a 3-5 minute flash.

However after like 30 seconds my phone shut off.

When ever i try to turn it on the screen slowly turns purple-pinkish filling up the whole screen and then slowly goes back to black. Same thing happens if I try to go into recovery mode.

However my phone does go into download mode and odin recognizes it. However when I try to flash any tar it always fails.

I tried to flash the stock firmware, vralec, and vralf and they all fail. Is there anything I can do now?

Please help.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] skullhat:
Suddenly, from last week onwards, my internal storage seems to be having some problems.

It stopped working last week and is showing some very strange issues.

Under Settings > Storage, it only lists 1.45 GB of total space instead of the 8 GB it's supposed to.

Nothing gets mounted to /mnt/emmc

Using adb shell, nothing related to the internal storage appears when using the mount command.

Under CWM, I cannot mount /emmc

I've tried reflashing CWM and ROMs using NVFlash and still the same problem persists.

Every time I start Cyanogen Mod, the little "SD card is safe to remove" comes up

When I try to mount /mnt/emmc from Cyanogen Mod, it just brings up this message again.

Any opinions?

Thanks.

EDIT: It works now, I did a nandroid restore of the stock WIND firmware and that freed up /emmc... I don't know why this happened when all of my other efforts did nothing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
My Sandisk 8 GB class 10 microSD card become corrupted. Most files were OK but some jpg and a backup were unable to be read. When read/transfer/copy was attempted of the faulty files it locked up my computer. I tried various programs to fix and/or retrieve those files and tried a CHKDSK repair but those also locked up my computer so I saved whatever I could and did a full reformat, not the quick one, which completed without a problem and appears to work in the phone without any problem (yet?). You should do the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sambodie:
I lost my emmc early this year, think from flashing the wrong kernel. Couldn't find a way to recover. Will start doing more frequent external SD card backups.

Another odd thing I have is going into car mode even though I froze it with Titanium backup. Comes and goes with flashing different stuff. Recently flashed Mazout's on 2.3.4 and working good. But occasional BSOD that requires a battery pull and wipe Dalvik.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skullhat:
...Except no.

When my SD card was removed the problem persisted. Missing 5+ GB.

My SD card is 4GB... How could I be missing more than the capacity of my SD card?

/emmc/ is the internal SD card... the way this ROM manages internal storage. It is configurable in CyMod.

/emmc/ is my internal flash in this case, no doubts.

For anyone who is curious, be careful with mount commands as they will make recovery from this difficult and may be the cause of the problem.

Oke, ik have experienced this problem since i have bought my XDA.

The problem: When u want to see your level of battery, it says;

"Battery power level remaining: Uknown"

This also happens when i just unplugged my XDA from the battery loader!.

When u get this signal, your XDA is starting to work very very slow. And your telephone function automatically shuts itself off!

You can try to reset and har reset for like a thousand times. It don't work :(

The only method is to plug in on your battery loader again.

I have also checked my remaining memory and the programs that are still running. The memory is oke, and i have shut al the running programs.

Is there anything that can be done to shop this mayhem! :twisted:

Will this problem be solved with a new ROM upgrade?

Sorry I made a mistake, I will try again:

I have the same problem, but it happens only, when my battery status is below 80 %:

When I switch off my telephone via Display touch, it works. When I then want to switch it on, it doesn't work and my XDA is very very slow and the battery status is "unknown", too.

After connection with the charger and switching on the telephone I notice this:

First the LED ist yellow, this is ok. When I swicht on the telephone, the LED is red for a short time (battery status very low), then it doesn't blink, then it is yellow again and my telephone is on.

For two time I couldn't even switch on the whole xda, only a soft reset worked.

I contacted the German O2 hotline an they said, I should upgrade to ROM-version 3.14.16 GER and Radio version 4.08. I did it, but this didn't solve my problem! I gues there is a hardware defect with the battery and I hove to contact the German O2 hotline again.

SIM Card.

I think I know of the problem you are refering too. Sometimes you lose your signal and then the only way to get it back is to plug it into the cradle? When this happens the battery indicated also shows as unknown.

It is definatly a SIM card problem. Newer SIM cards work fine. Try and get a newer card from your phone company - they will probably charge you for it :-/
