[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newoverhere:
This is my first post here so please excuse any violation of rules.

So, I was running CWM recovery + Siyah kernel + CM10.1 + Touchwiz 4.1.2 (dual boot setup) perfectly fine on my Galaxy s 3 for almost a year. But yesterday I decided to update all of those and updated to latest CWM using ROM manager, then changed the kernel to googy max2 and installed CM11. Everything worked properly except that my phone would freeze or hang up randomly at any time(whether swiping through homescreens or updating apps or even during standby). So I changed my ROM to S4 Revoution ROM (tried with both googy max2 and devil kernel). However, even this ROM gave me same hangup problems. So I moved onto TWRP recovery+ OmniRom but still encountered the same problem multiple times. After getting tired of wasting so much time, I came back to my original setup of CWM+Siyah kernel+CM10.1 thinking I wouldn't face this problem again, but to my aghast, the phone would still freeze randomly. Only a power button reboot would help. Please help, I have no idea what might be causing the problem as I have successfully tried every combination of recovery, kernel and ROM but to no avail. And no, I never manually tinkered with any CPU/GPU frequencies or voltages. Your time and help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.

PS: One more very important thing I forgot to mention, CPU-Z shows most of the time all 4 cores of the CPU stay at 1400MHz even though minimum speed is 200MHz. I have noticed this in S4 revolution ROM with googy max2 kernel and pegasusq governor(currently using this setup on my phone). Also, the "devil kernel" app on this ROM shows CPU either stays in deep sleep mode or 1300-1400MHz frequency.

Can't take screenshot for some reason in this ROM otherwise I would have uploaded those too. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamza18:
Did you do a complete wipe before installing all these roms? Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache partition. I am running WanamLite 7.3 with stock kernel and Wanam Xposed. Here is the link to the rom - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705866

Reboot into custom recovery. Do a full wipe, even though this rom says that it is not necessary but it is always a good idea to do a full wipe before flashing. Try this out and let's try to fix your problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newoverhere:
Yes, and not just once, but every time I flashed a new ROM. I'm thinking my only option now is to unroot and go back to stock but i am unable to find my country's rom. (found one on sammobile but the download speed refuses to go beyond 2-3kbps).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamza18:
Try WanamLite 7.3. Use the link I gave. And install it after doing a complete wipe. See if that makes a difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newoverhere:
Thank you for the suggestion but i'm afraid that would not help as i have already tried 4 different roms, one of which i used for a year without any problem, but still facing the hangup only since yesterday. plus, I have gone through enough trouble restoring my accounts/apps/contacts and all (especially whatsapp) again and again for the whole of yesterday every time i flashed a new rom. the problem is not related to the rom. thank you, again.

See, most of the things in your phone are software related. It is very very rare that you might have damaged the hardware. I see mismanagement of the resources by the ROM or kernel in your phone. What are the steps you are doing when installing a new ROM and which custom recovery are you using?

I did a full wipe, flashed everything again, did the emmc check as well as the dummy file generator thing....the hangups have reduced to 2-3 per day from 2-3 per hour but are still there. Should I downgrade my cwm recovery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~DemonLord~:
If you are rooted try the COMPLETE unrooting procedure mentioned at various places by flashing the latest stock firmware available from sammobile. This is to make sure your device software is like brand new. Test it for at least a day. Do a mega wipe (erasing everything even on internal SD card) before which can fix it in some cases.

When rooting again make sure you have the most bug free version of the recovery. CWM 6.0.4.4 is known to have minor problems here and there but nothing concerning to this topic. :)

Hi guys, I experience the same problems: I'm in any app and I press home to go back to the home menu => my phone's freezing for 5 seconds and then I see all my icons/folders/widgets slowly appearing. I would like to know how to complete format my internal SD card like you said. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~DemonLord~:
by pressing the powerkey+homebutton+volume up for about 8-10 seconds you are taken to a recovery menu. You can choose to factory reset over there. That fixed problems in most cases. The only way to wipe the internal partition as well would be to install stock firmware which is a part of unrooting, this will erase everything and put a original rom in your phone.. You can follow the unrooting processes written in many posts in xda :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radder124:
Ok thanks for this quick answer ! So the only way to erase the internal SD card is the unrooting method?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~DemonLord~:
As far as i know yes. Its not any trouble at all, wont take much time, except the firmware you would have to download. Its not needed in most cases. As i said before you may only need a factory reset so try that before! :) And just hit the thanks button ;)

[General Questions and Answers] Notches:
So I'm fairly new to rooted android, custom ROMs and the like but I did a bit of research and decided to root my phone and install a pacman 4.3 build on it. While i was able to succesfully root the phone and have had some success with flashing roms I have run into what seems to be a recurring bootloop issue.

Phone: Samsung Captivate Glide I927

Current OS: Stock Android 4.0.4 ICS

I'll start by describing what I have done so far:

Starting with a factory Android 2.3 phone I rooted my device using the following guide

Next I used odin 3.04 to flash CWM 6.0.2.1 to my phone

I then backed up using CWM, wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache, and flashed kick buttowski's PAC 4.3 build and gapps

Upon rebooting I received a samsung logo and then a black screen with no boot (over 15 min)

After some forum investigation I decided my best bet was to try and flash from a stock ICS build

I restored and attempted to flash a stock ICS zip; phone rebooted with a black screen and a pull down menu only

I restored and flashed a stock ICS tar through odin from here

This worked nearly perfectly as I was finally able to fully boot up, although the wifi will not turn on at all - even after some troubleshooting

I backed up the mostly working stock ICS and pressed forward.

First I had to re-flash CWM through odin as my native recovery mode had returned.

I then flashed the PAC 4.3 build with the same black screen error.

I then flashed bubor's PAC 4.3 build and gapps and was able to boot into the PACMAN startup screen at last....short lived as it displayed a pacman, game over, insert coin startup animation indefinitely (over 15 min)

I tried flashing bubor's CM 10.2 Cyanogen 4.3 and gapps instead and was met with a similar issue - indefinite cyanogen startup circle (over 15 min)

I tried flashing Omni 4.4 as well but was not able to even properly flash this one for a reboot.

I have run into this problem trying to flash a number of ROM's where I get stuck in an infinite bootloop. I have restored, wiped data and wiped caches in between each flash attempt and started from a stock ICS build and at this point don't know what to troubleshoot anymore. Can anyone help me?
[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
Okay my phone been saying I can update it now, which I still haven't done it yet one cos it really not a big file i noticed & two it seems everyone got some issue with it soft bricking the phones... My question is what did the update do? & anyone got the update w/o soft brick & is rooted?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
No clue. But if you haven't touched anything in the /system partition (I.e. removing the bloatware, installing 3rd party drivers from apps like viper4android, using xposed, etc etc) then the install should go just fine.
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
someone said if you aren't rooted already and take this update then you won't be able to root and if you take this update while you have a custom recovery installed you will soft brick your phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
I tried the update. On my GPro was rooted on stock Rom. Got stuck in horrible CWM boot loop had to restore with LG R&D test tool... was kinda scared for a minute.

[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
So how do we do this update? Go back to stock & root it but dont flash a custom recovery? This is so much work for that lil update.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
Seeing as this is question #3648596925385925486526595 about the matter, just don't update. Its not that big of a deal. Its still 4.1.2 nuff said
[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
okay :p tyvm all I wanted to know if it was worth it...
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
It doesn't have anything but data and battery monitor. Dual camera but I thought somehow it already had
[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
Well I got bored & my curiosity got the best of me so I updated it... So as to my question, dont have custom recovery but be rooted before you update or you wont be able to root after update... :0p
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
Yep and having cwm installed when you update will result in cwm flash
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
it'll result in a soft brick from what I hear.
[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
I did both already one wit custom recovery which soft bricked my phone, had to factory reset it using lg flash tool. After i did that I rooted using universal didnt flash nothing & jus updated & its fine. So yea dont update if you have custom recovery installed :p
[LG Optimus G Pro] lakshyamodi65:

[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
•Follow the steps in madmack thread to get yourself back to stock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2302660

•Then you can root wit Universal Root

(Do not install or flash any custom recovery)

•Update

Now u can

•Install your custom recovery using FreeGee

Good Luck ;D
[LG Optimus G Pro] lakshyamodi65:
not working it says bettry low and it is charged 90%

there were other people having this same issue. look through the threads for it.. I don't remember where I saw it but it's in there somewhere.
[LG Optimus G Pro] MrKite4:
Does anyone know if there will be a way to flash a custom recovery again with this update? I really want CWM back
[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
Yesh once you do the update without any custom recovery installed, use freegee from the market to get it back

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free
[LG Optimus G Pro] MrKite4:
Have you tried it and it worked? I tried it once before after I restored my phone from a soft brick caused by the update, then I ran freegee and it would show the screen where it says the bootloader was unlocked with the LG logo then jump to another screen with just the LG logo and just kept looping in that boot forcing me to do another restore. I don't know if something went wrong and that's why I didn't work
[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
I actually made this thread because of all i was hearing bout it soft bricking the phones. I didn't wanna update it if it wasn't worth it. Well I did it anyways yes I did do it once with a soft bricked then restored it like i said in a thread earlier & was successful
[LG Optimus G Pro] MrKite4:
I just realized you said you didn't install the new update, I had to restore the phone with the LG flash tools then I rooted and installed the update and it worked fine, but with this update the freegee method doesn't flash CWM.
[LG Optimus G Pro] garcijua:
when i use Lg flash tool i get DOWNLOAD fail 639s. but i have the stock ROM and it works fine. just wondering why? it says fail once it gets to 100%
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
It does that on the LG-E970 (Optimus G) as well. It fails to wipe the user partition which is why you have to do it yourself afterwards. Nothing harmful. :P
[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
Hmmm thats weird... Idk... What are you getting from freegee like what is it saying? After I used freegee I used the the app xRecovery & was fine...
[LG Optimus G Pro] SDChargerGurl:
Idk why it does that cause I get the same thing & everything works so I just go with it... Loool

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] justincodyfox:
Well I can will take a screenshot after I charge it and then let it almost die. The whole point I am trying to make is that there are a TON of bigger batteries for the galaxy nexus line of phones and they work fine in this phone. So it is a good option for someone who is needing more battery life.

Also I am running Slimkat 4.4.2

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] justincodyfox:
Yes I am aware of that. All I am saying is that 1950 and higher ml after market batteries are much more readily available for the galaxy nexus than the blaze 4G. This phone does not have a lot of accessories or battery options. It was barely marketed and I am just trying to help.

thanks,

Justin
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Somcom3X:
I agree with your point :)

Some ebay listings on aftermarket batteries will have multiple device codenames ( ex. T769).

We are lucky we don't use an exhilarate, those things are below marketed. Rare to find in public at that.

Good luck with your results.

Ok so recently after breaking my samsung vibrant I was using my nexus one until lo got my one s and I'm wondering if we can resize partitions like I could on the nexus one because I would like to give some of the extra system and cache partition space to sdcard. Because aposp Roms use a little less than half of the system partition and android doesn't use the cache partition hardly at all since 4.0 so we could take 200mb from there and leave cache with 50mb and get an extra close to 1.5gb to either data or sdcard. I personally think it's just a wast of space that could be used for other things. Because I personally will problebly never run sense unless we get a kitkat build of it

Get the T-Mobile version, it supports the most frequencies, and it's carrier unlocked. That's your best bet.

Actually the AT&T version supports the most LTE Bands. Though it's downfall is its carrier locked and comes with AT&T bloat and branding on the back. But unlock codes can be purchased for it though.
