[Q] Random reboot into Recovery

I have a Sprint Nexus S4g, and have been using Bugless Beast ROM for a few weeks. About a week ago I started having Random reboots to recovery, as well as locking up at the Google splash screen when rebooting. I have also had many problems with google apps crashing as well as the phone just being locked up when I go to use it (in this case the notification lights usually are lit).
I have tried clearing cache/dalvick cache and factory reset. The last time I even wiped my SD card and am now stopping Google from installing my apps other than Goomanager.
about an hour after my last attempt, I got my first random reboot to recovery. I am not sure what to try next.
Thanks for any help!

Go back to stock and see if the problems persist

I am going to try when I get home. If that doesn't work, I guess I will send it to Samsung under warranty.

Just returned to stock, and it is still locking up.

[Q] Stock w/ root question.

I got the device two days ago and rooted it the night I got it but remained stock to get use to it a little (came from MT4G) and still not use to the lack of physical menu buttons.
Anyways, after rooting and going through the process CWM, SU, ect. everything looked good for a while but today I had two random reboots from locked screen (went to unlock the device and it rebooted, the same way both times but not full reboots they were short and quick) and I was wondering if anyone else had this same issue and if so how to correct it.
There was another thing, when I boot into recovery it loads fine but when I reboot back to ROM it says there was an improper boot and wanted to send crash log to HTC. Not sure if this is going to be the normal thing but if anyone else is having this every time they go into recovery is there a way to opt out of it by default?
Thanks for reading.....

If you boot into recovery or hard reset by holding the power button. It will always ask to send crash report

OK cool so it's normal, thanks for the information.

Weird problem, home button doesn't work

So two days ago i restarted my phone and after that my home button did nothing.
it would still wake the phone if it was locked. but other than that nothing.
all my settings for the status bar were reset too. (things like which toggles are there and indicator color etc,)
they were all reset to the default. (this includes the data connection getting turned on)
Since then i have tried two different roms and both of them ended up with the same problem.
It always happened on a random reboot. (i.e. it doesn't happen on the 1st reboot, but at a random reboot)
Anyone know what the problem is?

I dont know why this happens and there is no other way then to flash a new rom.
Wipe everything in recovery and flash a new rom thats the only solution!!

I haven't been,
usually i my max is 729 which has always worked fine.
but after this problem started i did go down to stock (600)
but the problem still occurs

729 is ok.
It might be due kernel or some app with root access.
Someone who cook Roms could explain the reason!!
Edit: Btw Which rom and kernel are you using??

Take provision.apk from the ROM's zip and put it in /system/app/
After that, set it's permissions to rw-r--r--(644) and reboot

I had this the other week, along with a couple of other little problems, ended up being that only factory reset would fix it. Don't know why it keeps coming back for you though.

Infuse stuck in boot logo loop

My infuse is rooted with zues. A few weeks ago, it was stuck on the samsung boot logo and it keeps looping. I wiped data and cache and installed zues again and it was fixed. Last night, this happened... so my phone turns on for 2 minutes max, then turns off and starts the loop. I can only keep on for 2 minutes before it starts looping again. by saying keeping it on for 2 minutes, i mean everything works! talk, text, games, ect...
so i turned it off, went to clockwork or root menu, whatever you guys call it, and i wiped data and cache. Whats weird is that even on boot menu or clockwork, it still wont stay on, it keeps turning off and turns on and loops!
i installed zues again, still turns off and loops
next step? is my phone dead?

Did you have any undervolt settings applied?

The phone is not underclocked, it is not overclocked. It was rooted, I unrooted it. its currently unrooted absolutely factory stock and still doing that. What can I do to fix this?
warranty is over as of 3 months ago

Forgot to mention the most important thing!!!
When I am on the phone with someone, it works perfectly forever, as soon as i hang up, it ends the call. this key thing might help someone find the solution!!

Don't panic just yet... I doubt your phone is dead.
You say you've "wiped data and cache". Are you also making sure to wipe /system and Dalvik Cache?
Try flashing Zeus again.
Boot to CWM, Wipe EVERYTHING (/data, /cache, /system, Dalvik Cache). (Alternatively, get "Clean Wipe" from Qkster's Scripts and flash with CWM to easily wipe everything.)
Flash Zeus and go.
If you're still having problems, perhaps try a different rom?

okay, I read everything you guys wrote.. This is where I am, I am open to suggestions
I am on the stock rom and unrooted. Phone still boot loops. What should I do now? Step by step instructions would be great. Im unrooted, so should i root again? even though im having this problem?

bump! really need help with this guys!

Have you tried going back to stock?
If it keeps looping while on download mode then I would say you are dealing with a hardware issue.
Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse

It just came to me that it doesn't loop in download mode. It does loop in clockwork, I flashed the stock kernel using ODIN and went completely stock through ODIN.
How do i fix this? i'm pissed that i had it for a year and three months and right after the warranty ended, the phone stopped working! Samsung never again unless this issue is fixed

I'm a newbie to flashing, so take it with a grain of salt. At least two more things seem worth trying to me:
1 - Try factory data reset (assuming you already tried the wipe Davlick and wipe cache). I'm not positive what this does, but I think you may lose some of your data if it's not backed up.
2 - If that doesn't work, try qkster's Heimdall UCLB3 stock (since you can get into download mode...shouldn't be a problem). This is complete back to stock so should be able to clear any software problem I'd think. I know you may think it's redundant since you are already back to stock, but worth trying imo since some things just take more than one try, and you may have had a bad flash the first time around.

Why zeus? try latest ones with jelly bean
Hey,
Try other roms based out of jelly bean. They are pretty stable. CM10 with 09/14 build is the latest
Here are the standard steps if you have CWM enabled.
1. Factory re-set (only when switching between different roms).
2. Cache partition wipe
3. Dalvik Cache wipe
4. Install the zip file
5. Re-start and wait until it re-starts. Initially it will take some time.
I have tried various roms and versions as well. Best would be the CM10 Jelly bean.
Thanks Kran.

[Q] Can't wake up phone after restore

Hello. I have a rooted OPO, running 05Q. Last night I finally succumbed to the temptation to flash a ROM. I used the app "CM downloader" to obtain the latest nightly of CM12. Using TWRP, I created a backup, then installed the downloaded ROM. It didn't work; the phone got stuck in what is, I think, called a bootloop. That is, it just kept showing "Updating Android" then going back to a CM animation, over and over.
After letting this go on for quite a while, I powered the phone down and rebooted into Recovery. From there I restored the backup I had created. That seemed to go without a hitch; everything looked as it did before I set out on this adventure. But when I let the screen go dark after 30 seconds of not doing anything, I found that double-tap wouldn't wake it, and neither would pressing the power button. It seemed to be still working, since notifications were coming in, but I couldn't get the screen to light up. So I did a reboot, which worked, but only until the screen went dark again, at which point I had the same problem.
So...I used Titanium to backup all apps and settings, and did a "reset to factory", then restored apps and settings. This seemed to work, but once again I found that once the screen went dark, the only way to wake it up was to reboot. And again, even though the screen was dark, the phone was working. I listened to a podcast while driving to work, even though I couldn't wake the screen up.
Any ideas what the cause of this might be? I did check the Settings to make sure the double tap to sleep and wake were turned on. Everything was as I'd left it. And in any case, even the Power button wouldn't do it.

You need to flash cm11 firmware, that is the radio and stuff to get your cm11 05Q to work properly again
Edit
You should flash this
