[Galaxy S III General] Nemed:
Hi all, i installed the CM11 on my gf's Galaxy s3 (i9300 international version), the problem is that sometimes it randomly reboots and get stuck in an unusual bootloop. It reaches the bootsplash logo and it keeps rebooting, the only solution to get it back to work is to remove the battery for at least 30 seconds and try to turn it on, sometimes it works.

When the bootloop happens i'm not able to enter the recovery mode, because it just turns on and it keeps rebooting, same thing with download mode.

So, i'm new here, but i read about a common issue which is the sudden death syndrome and half-sds, it might be that? I checked and it has the insane chip.

Any advice/idea? It would be better to flash a stock ROM to be safe?
[Galaxy S III General] Cy4n1d3:
I would backup the whole device, recover initial firmware using kies emergency recovery mode and then start over again.

Had a similar problem but even worse: same bootloop, but no dice on recovery :\

Was unable to reflash or restore old firmware using Odin, Kies was the only thing that worked for me.
[Galaxy S III General] Togholl:
Do the reboots occure few seconds after pressing the power button?

I have exactly the same problem and I figured out that my power button is kinda stuck and thus permanently pressed.

This causes the permanent reboot, because holding the power button for a certain amount of time causes a reboot.

Try to push "Vol down"+"Homebutton" instantly after a reboot. If your galaxy enters the download mode (before rebooting again), you have the proof, that it's the fault of the power button due to the fact that pressing the power button would have been necessary.

I hope the fix will be for free under warranty.

At the first moment I also thought it would be the Sudden Death syndrom, but thankfully it's not the case and only the power button has to be fixed.
[Galaxy S III General] Nemed:
I don't know, i didn't paid attention to it. Anyway thanks to both of you for the replies, i'll check the power button as soon as possible since i don't have the phone with me right now. If that's not the cause, i think i'll do an emergency recover with kies as suggested by Cy4n1d3.

Now i still have a doubt, CM11 should have the fix for the sudden death syndrome merged into its code right? I'm asking this because if i'm right i could exclude sds as the cause of the problem...
[Galaxy S III General] boomboomer:
Rebooting is not an SDS symptom, SDS is totally dead -suddenly.

Power button failure is diagnosed by inserting the battery, if it turns on by itself then button contacts are shorted out.

Your problem sounds more like corruption of the cache or dalvik, wipe and reflash your rom or go back to stock to test. Check MD5 of downloads and don't restore anything before you test.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnTraDe:
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 International (i9300) with OmniROM 4.4 installed from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524285 and rooted.

I'm experiencing a very very weird and annoying behavoiur with it, it freezes for about 5-20 minutes at a time and it happens very often, sometimes when it's on sleep mode it just turn off for no reason (Or maybe it's the same freeze problem as above, just when the phone is in sleep mode...). Sometimes when I enter applications (It doesnt matter what applications, it happens randomly across all of them) it just get stuck at the black screen after the transition animation from the launcher to the app's page (again it might be the same freeze problem as above, just exatcly when I open the application).

Before I installed OmniROM I had CyanogeonMod 10.2.0 installed on this phone and while the above problems still accourd from time to time, they were in way smaller numbers, they happened once in a few days or even weeks, but now, they happen almost every hour which makes it unbearable.

I searched the internet for this problem alot before I came here to post here about it, and the closest I got is this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2133401 which seems to describe exactly my problem, so I read it, but none of the solutions there worked. Dummy File Generator just keep crushing after 20-30% and then when I start it again it crashes instantly. And I am pretty sure the kernel I'm using is newer than the kernel version they said was stable (XXEMB1).

By the way my eMMC is the affected model.

Is there some other solution? Is there a system debug log or something like that which contains the information about this freezes/crashes?

Sorry for my bad english. Thanks in advance!

Edit 1:

I forgot to mention that also it get stuck for a few seconds sometimes when I try to perform certain actions (For example sometimes when I open the keyboard it get stuck for a few minutes or not open at all)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Go back to full stock rom and test. If still the same then you have bad memory blocks, the freezes are the os 'stepping around' them. Only solution is a new motherboard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnTraDe:
Thanks for your answer!

What is exactly a "bad memory block" and how a certain memory block become one? How can it be avoided? I have some experience with micro-processors and low-level memory and I developed some apps for android so I know a little about the system, so I'd be glad if someone can give me a more technical explanation of this problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Samsung fitted an eMMC chip with low specification (my opinion) then botched the wear levelling of memory write operations, until 4.1.2 was released. Users who remained on 4.0 suffered most, with nand damage (maximum writes exceeded) on the worst blocks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnTraDe:
Well, I ended up flashing the stock ROM, but it didnt solved my problem, according to your last reply, I understood there is no solution to this problem from the software side, so I guess ill have to buy a new one.

The weird part is, I got the phone with 4.0.4 version installed, but I didnt stayed with this version long before I started to flash custom ROM's. So maybe it has nothing to do with the way Samsung treated the wear levelling problem and it's just the eMMC chip itself which is low quality. After all, many other Samsung products we're using this version and I didn't heard people complaining about similiar issues on devices other than the Samsung S3 i9300 model.

Thanks for your time anyway!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yas44co:
G610s is good phone. and surely give kitkat update.

but I suggest you to buy Samsung Glaxy SIII I9300 becouse of:

Much better support

Much better camera

Much better Cpu config

Easily support usb on the go

:cool:

both price in ebay: $204
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maurice5813:
No. This is a chinese generic phone which 7/10 don't get updates, never get rooted and etc. I recommend you buy a name branded phone such as a Samsung, HTC, Mytouch, Google Nexus, LG, or Motorola.

To stay in the price range of $200, I recommend:

Samsung Galaxy SII

Nexus 4

Moto X

HTC One S

HTC One X

HTC Desire HD

Samsung Galaxy S III

Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Nexus 7 2

Nexus 7

Theres a long list of even more, go to your providers website or use Ebay:D

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Convice:
Hello all.

Over the past few days, I have been attempting to install CyanogenMod on my LG G2, but I am currently stuck on getting TWRP to work properly. I have followed the steps (more than once) on the forum post here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449670), but it has yet to work. I either get the "fastboot" text screen (two lines), or (now) nothing more than a backlit screen. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

Info on the device:

Rooted

Model: LG-D800 (10o)

If anything else is needed, please let me know. I'd like to get this working.

Thanks

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxrichievxxx:
I used this video to bypass all that fastboot nonsense.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTJI9ThY0mk

Basically all you do is:

!Phone Must Be Rooted!

Download Recovery:

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2att.img

Download from the Google Play Market:

>Flashify (for root users)

Open flashify,

Click on 'Recovery image' and look for the recovery you downloaded,

Click on the recovery file,

Hit flash,

Hit Reboot and it'll reboot you into TWRP

And you're done! :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquinn19:
Easiest way:

1)Back to stock

2)Root from here

3)One click recovery install once your rooted
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
I have been having a weird issue flashing the latest trwp versions over stock recovery on my D800, resulting in me booting to fastboot. Oddly, if I flash cwm recovery it works. then from cwm recovery I flash the twrp zip and then I am set. No idea why and I have been able to duplicate it. shrug
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Convice:
Any chance you could communicate the method you used to do this, at some point? I've tried flashing CWM as well, but I've had the same outcome as with TWRP. Would be awesome to get Cyanogenmod on here finally.

Thanks for the replies!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
Have you tried the app Flashify, once you are rooted?

Alternatiely, I have put the recovery.img file in the root of my sdcard and then did:

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

I have a samsung galaxy s 4g from t-mobile I was trying to upgrade from ginger bread to ice cream sandwich and now the phone keeps restarting. When it turns on it shows the samsung galaxy s 4g startup then it shows the ice cream sandwich i tried to download and it shows a progress bar when it gets to the very end it restarts and does the same process over and over again. I tried to plug into computer and the computer says my device is not recognized. I need help!! What do I do? If video is needed I will provide one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MuShRo0m:
I know but I saw a video on youtube about it so i tried it and it just keeps restarting. Would you mind explaining how to do that because it I can't connect my phone to the computer it turns off every 15 secs and I can't go into recovery mode either.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
The good news is that it is nearly impossible to "hard brick" an SGS4G. That you are seeing it repeatedly trying to start up tells me that it's more that you just have improper firmware on your device.

Take a look a the heimdall "one-click" collection http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
[MENTION=4303791]lumin30[/MENTION] has a great walk-through as well -- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2

The most difficult thing about using them is getting the right drivers installed on your computer for your phone (and ROM).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MuShRo0m:
I can't do this because when i plug my phone in to the computer it says device not recognized and the phone restarts about every 15 seconds. If you need to see a video I can provide one. I need to fix it because i'm stuck with this phone for a few more months.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Google samsung usb download jig. You can buy one or make your own for just a few bucks. There is a thread or two on xda on making one. Couple of threads on how to get into download mode too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
"Device not recognized" is Windows' polite way of saying that it can't make sense of drivers. I have a few polite things to say about Window's handling of drivers, but let's just say that it is tweaky, at best, and you apparently can only have one set of "similar" drivers installed at a time. You will have to work with the drivers once you get Download Mode under control.

That is is still rebooting seems to suggest that you don't have the power off / hold volup/vol dn / plug in USB sequence quite right.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MuShRo0m:
Thank you I just fixed it. I thought I was screwed thanks so much!! Do you know anything good to put on the device that is for the sgs4g because the last time I put the wrong ones and it ended up how it did. I tried valhalla final do you know any better ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I'm glad you got it going again! With luck, you won't have to try that again, but it is a great device to play around with as it is rather hard to get it to "hard brick" to the point where you can't get it into download mode and start again. Just keep lots of backups ;)

There are lots of great ROMs out there for this device, in a few different flavors. You generally need to be careful how you upgrade between the flavors, especially as the big upgrade steps are often taken for granted by current ROMs

Froyo (I'll go out on a limb and say you don't want this)

Gingerbread, BML

Gingerbread, MTD

Ice Cream Sandwich (MTD only, I believe)

JellyBean (MTD only)

BML is the "stock" low-level disk routines used by Samsung ROMs, as well as some custom Gingerbread ROMs. MTD is an open-source alternative to BML that is popular with later Gingerbread ROMs, as well as probably all ICS and JB ROMs. If you are going to use an MTD ROM, you should find a solid MTD Gingerbread ROM to do the switch-over from BML to MTD to make sure it goes smoothly.

I can't really say which is "best" between all the ROMs. There are many good ones out there. A lot of people will have which ROM they use or like in their signature.

With any ROM, read the main thread to see what things might not work for you if you try the ROM.

Some of the general things that are pretty much universal are:

ICS

WiFi Calling doesn't work

Indicated WiFi signal level appears lower

JB

Built-in GPS doesn't work

WiFi Calling doesn't work

Indicated WiFi signal level appears lower
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MuShRo0m:
Ok thanks for the suggestions but I have been looking at the tutorials on this and it says you need cwm but that isn't supported by this device sgs4g. What do i do? Here is what I am trying to install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2587589
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
It is true that you can't install Clockwork recovery by itself on the SGS4G. However, the custom kernels have either CWR or TWRP "built in" to them. (On the SGS4G, kernel and recovery bound together and flashed as a single unit.)

Well, that is quite a first ROM to try to flash! Let's see, it says "beta" in the header, it's been out for under 24 hours, people are reporting difficulties flashing it, it has a different partition structure than any other SGS4G ROM, oh, and it's the first KitKat ROM for the phone, so the Android part of the phone is very different and potentially still has major bugs. I think you're in for a world of hurt if you try something that hasn't stabilized to the point that people are generally successful with it, especially if you aren't comfortable with the whole flashing process yet.

I'd suggest one of the well-proven ICS ROMs as a start. The are relatively robust in their ability to install and generally perform very well on the phone. Take a couple weeks with it to know how it performs on the phone for you and then look again at what you might want to try out.

While you can generally upgrade your data from one Android release to the next using a tool like Titanium Backup, going back is dicey, at best. I didn't decide to upgrade my day-today phone from GB to ICS for quite some time after the ROMs were available for just that reason. I'd hate to find out that there was a show-stopper bug and I couldn't go back to GB without losing my data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MuShRo0m:
I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff I have been looking around and I can't find any custom kernels that have it pre installed could you please help me on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MuShRo0m:
That makes sense I'll wait for slim kat until the bugs have been fixed and until I get the hang of this.SO just to be certain I should start from ics then move up to jelly bean?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
It's my personal opinion that the GB and ICS ROMs are the most stable and reliable for "daily driver" phones. Others like the JB experience. KitKat has a lot of potential, but I'd wait a bit until it settles down. The first few releases on any new Android version are generally a bit rough, even when from the best of devs.

The AntonX Basic kernel from the heimdall one-click thread should get you what you need to get started.

I'm a little puzzled though, how you flashed the first ROM if you didn't have CWR or some other recovery already installed. If it was ROM Manager that you used, it definitely would have caused problems (and will if you use it again).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MuShRo0m:
Ok I will try this right now see if I can even follow the tutorial and I got valhalla by using sgs kernel flasher which is an app on the marketplace.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MuShRo0m:
ok so I decided to go for slimkat 4.4.2 and I actually installed it correctly but I don't have the google play store and all that I tried to install gapps but not sure if I had the right version. When I was flashing them it said installation successful but when the phone rebooted it says the applications stopped working.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Hullo man (or mam) I'm the tooth cavity bringer as u can see (w kitkat or sth like that). For your issue, I think you first should get used to installing custom ROM on this phone first, with Recovery: backup & restore procedure, flashing zip,... and heimdall oneclick procedure as jeffsf has been avised you tho before installing kitkat. And yeah, a user got Playstore work out by heimdall oneclick back to stock, and follow my instruction in the slimkat thread again carefully (super clean install) so you can try if you know what you are doing then.

If you are feeling confused and frustrated w the instruction and bugs that might happen to your phone, you can/should flash sth considered stable first like ICS ROMs (that Jeffsf recommended) w Jeffsf's kernels as they are easier to flash and almost bug-free :).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MuShRo0m:
thanks for the suggestions I installed slimkat but I didn't have the play store because I forgot to flash the gapps now I finally got everything working it runs pretty smooth. I wanted to challenge myself so I chose the harder one and I did okay.
