My g2x keeps rebooting over and over again! This happened after i mounted it to my pc. it tries to read my sd card then just reboots over and over again. I have nv flash and tried to restore old back up but still does it. can any one help im thinking i need to flash stock.
you need to do a factory reset if your nandroid backup doesn't work. if that doesn't work reflash the rom.
I already did a factory reset and wipe and tried to re install the rom. it just continues to reboot. It starts up and if quick i can get into my lock screen and access things but within seconds it reboots and continues to do that
What rom are you using?

I was on a stock rooted rom when the problem happened. so i then i did a restore. when that didnt work i reflashed the stock rom that was posted on forum. i think it has something to do with my internal memory which i cannot access. this all happened when i was trying to back up my sd card while in usb and it just got an error when i unplugged it enless reboot.

I was hoping it was something simple like undervolting with a custom rom. I wish I could help. It sounds like you tried everything I would recomend. Maybe one of the real Android techie type guys can help you. I am still learning myself.

Thanks anyway! I even when as far as to re-flash stock recovery and then try to factory reset it but still did not work. I just dont know what the heck happened. So today I went to t-mobile and they r sending me a new phone and for know I have a loaner 10 days until I get the new phone they said it was backordered. oh well
I have had my TF for a week or so, and have had no issues whatsover. I have am rooted, running a custom kernel.
All of the sudden I am having the TF reboot at random places, and now it is freezing even in CWM recovery. I wiped everything and went back to stock and still having the problem (on 3.1). Anyone else with this issue, and does it sound like hardware at this point? I think I may return it today, but I am nervous since the screen on this one is perfect.. don't want to get one with light bleed like my last.
Thanks guys.
yes. A quick search will show you the multitudes of threads regarding this issue.

Yeah.. I get that.. I have been on XDA for 4 years.
I understand the freezes and reboots happen and are happening and other people are having them happen, however per my subject line I was looking for people who are having it happen while they are in their recovery mode. I have had the tab freeze after booting into recovery, as well as during a restore and backup. I wasn't having any issues for an entire week and without any kernal or rom mods this just started. (SPECIFICALLY IN RECOVERY MODE AS WELL AS NORMAL MODE)
If it freezes + reboots in recovery, see if a Ramdump file is placed in the root of your /sdcard/ folder. If so, paste it up here so we can look at it.

I actually have a bunch of those files. I attached them here. Oddly, today I am trying to dup the issue after the tablet has sat on but unused, it is working fine. I went into CWM, moved around the menus and waited for it to freeze but it didn't. I restored my backup and am currently testing different things to repeat the freezes. I know there was an issue so if possible I would love to be able to find out what it was/is, and make sure it will or won't happen again so I can get a replacement if needed while I can.
I post if I have the issue again..
EDIT: yup rebooted 3 times again after barely using the tablet. Also completely locked up on one boot before I even put in my pass pattern.
I then went into recovery mode, moved around the menu system and it froze again in CWM.

Hey there superevilllama, glad to see you back on XDA. Question, are you running custom firmware, ie. custom kernel, ROM, etc? If so, I would suggest downloading the stock firmware from ASUS and flashing back completely to stock and see if that alleviates any issues. If this continues to happen on a completely stock system, you might have faulty hardware.
It was the kernel...
Alright guys.. It was the kernel. I wiped and reset to stock, thinking I had already went back to stock kernel but apparently flashed the same kernel instead of stock.
I checked Clemsyn's kernel thread and # 17 of his had other people getting lockups and reboots too, OC or not. Gave me a scare because I did a bunch of things at one time.. updated kernel, got a new keyboard dock, updated setcpu.
I kept freezing all over the place and rebooting, OC or not. Thought I restored back to stock kernel but I didn't. Thought it was wierd as I had no issues before. Back to 16 of Clemsyn's kernel and all is well, both when not overclocked and OC to 1.5ghz.
I appreciate your help guys. Glad to know my TF is still in good shape. Good thing because the replacement I got had bbaaadd light leakage. Now I can just take it back.
Yes, it was the kernel.
More importantly, it looks like it was the clock speed.
sassafras
It is wierd that it froze in recovery mode tho. I thought recovery had its own kernel, I didn't think it used whatever kernel I had flashed. Eh either way I am glad it is working.
A while back my phone started to freeze up and I would have to battery pulls everytime. And once i turn it back on, in a matter of seconds, it freezes up again causing another battery pull. I probably had to do 30-40 battery pulls. This all happened so randomly too.
I tried to flash another rom ( BinDroid ) and when I did, it said installation aborted.Same with the full wipe. Then I flashed again and it worked but when it booted it went to the lock screen and everything but when I pulled the ring, it froze again. And it kept on doing that too. I tried to flash Leedroids then but it said Error in formatting system. Then Installation aborted. Then itll say something like " E:recovery/cache/last_log" <--- not correct but something like that, everytime I flash something itll say that.
I dont know what to do anymore. Please someone help. Thank you
Install the factory RUU and see what happens. See how everything works before you start adding apps.
Have you tried a new sd card. If an installation fails and then works with the same zip, it would seem the sd card could be causing issues.
Ill see what I can do. Thank you for the help guys.
Hi, something like that happened to me and ended up replacing the phone as it was still under warranty (I needed to unroot it).
Most likely was an emmc issue, see my post here:

So about two weeks ago Ive noticed my infuse starting to get laggy. Now its laggy all the time. Ive tried reinstalling CM7 and nothing, Ive installed CM9 and it still lags. can anybody help with this?
Did you try any other ROMs and noticed similar behavior?
If you use Google voice it will cause that. Make sure when you first reinstall a rom don't add any apps... run it and see if its laggy. If not install your apps you always use one at a time... if after installing one Ans you notice lag you got your culprit. GV used to do this to my aria

then flash stock gingerbread
factory reset your phone
then flash the kernal in the same thread
(format your external sd in your pc, then put it back in your phone and format it with your phone)
remember to back up things on the phone, then move them over to your pc before you start this process, because EVERYTHING on your phone will be wiped
then flash a rom again, from this clean of a state it should fix pretty much anything.

Before ive ran lots of different roms with no problems, ive been running cm7 for a few months now and its just now starting to act like this. I must have installed a bad file or something.

So I'm totally at a loss of where to go or what to even search for.
I have a verizon Galaxy s3 that I rooted and unlocked the bootloader on. I flashed a couple ROMs and now it won't connect to the network. It tells me it is in roaming mode only. I called verizon, but they said to just return the phone because it won't talk to their network.
I've read some things about "triangle away" and I kind of tried that. But it kept telling me that my flash count was 0 anyway. So it didn't do anything.
My IMEI and ICCID are correct to my sim card and phone. I originally flashed CM10 for the verizon s3 and it worked great for a few weeks. Then I tried a couple others and they worked also. Then I flashed the euroskank ROM, and that's when it no longer would connect. I went back to a previous nandroid, and still no connecting.
I don't know what the problem is, or what to search for, or where to go.
Should I try to install a stock rom. I know I keep seeing things about odin and installing the stock rom. Should I do that? That's something I haven't tried yet.
So, I tried reprovisioning the phone with *2767*3855#
And when I did that, it said sorry, your phone is not yet activated.
But I know it is, or, at least was activated. And when I call verizon they tell me it has been activated already. I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of trying to go back to stock
Same Problem
Flashed CM10.1 nightly just to test it out and then boom, no more connection. On any ROM. Scariest part? I have gone through the restore process and am now back to an unrooted phone with out of the box firmware. I believe I will take it back to Verizon now and see if they will give me a new one.

So I don't know if we have the same issue or not. But I got mine working for now. Don't know if I'll run into problems later, but this is how I got it working right now.
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated. So it works now. Hooray!
But I REALLY really want to know what happened. So I can avoid this happening again in the future. Can anyone tell me what happened, and why this fixed it? And how to prevent it happening again as a flash more ROMs in the future?
Also, SpecePatriot, let me know if that works for you. It'd be good to have more than one source to know that works.

Well that's good to know that you got it back working again. Sounds like it might be just be the ROM and not anything weird that we did to cause the loss of connectivity.
Thanks nertskull

I had the an issue with my phone stuck roaming and this method worked great! Only problem I came across was trying to run Samsungs update for Jelly Bean, Every time I attempted to update my phone would crash and go back to ICS. Luckily I had a back up so I wiped my phone, restored from my previous backup (which had Jelly Bean) and worked without roaming issues!
My input is if your having roaming issues is to use a backup you made before you had the roaming issue. Follow this tutorial above to get your phone back to stock, root your phone, then restore from your backup through CWM or whatever you are using.
I am not too sure what causes the roaming issue but I did notice while looking for networks, my phone found ATT ad TMobile haha.I am assuming what happened was that the Cyanogenmod update I was downloading automatically was set for another carry which changed my wireless settings. I will be downloading nightly's manually for now on lol
Thanks for this fix, Saved me a lot of time and aggression

My S3 is having the same issue after a CM10 modification. Reflashing to a stock ROM fails, wiping and reflashing fails, trying a different rom on cwm fails, no backups to flash to (all result in error). So I stumbled upon this thread, read about reprovisioning, and I took it to mean input the numeric code into the phone dialer. I did that, and nothing happened. Can anyone provide insight on reprovision and how to do it? Google search on reprovision isn't giving me any hints.
If the reprovision is just failing and I've been doing it right, does anyone have any other suggestions? Really hoping my phone isn't soft-bricked with no ability to call/text.

Hey guys, when you provision does it wipe the entire phone, including the SD card? (internal SD card and external SD card)
stuck...
I tried all the above, stock, radios, kernels, codes, ##RTN#, none of it works, my radio works cause i tried 911 and it jumped on roaming and began to make call at which point of course i hung up before letting it connect any words of wisdom... at this point just a tablet for wifi

I have a galaxy note 2 on Verizon. This used to happen to me on CM 10.1 first stages but issue got fixed as the nightlies started. It only happened to me when I sometimes rebooted the phone or when the battery completely drained from 100-0% then when I would charge it and boot the phone it would show me an x and no signal bars. I would have to restore to a TW rom to get it to activate again but going into settings and switching to CDMA/LTE mode. Now I'm on ParanoidAndroid 2.99beta ROM and it still gives me that issue. Hopefully soon it will be fixed.:fingers-crossed:

Thank you buddy,
This helped me get my phone back in working order -- For those of you wondering why the "*2767*3855# is not working is because you are using the wrong flash. You must use "Official VRALG1 4.0.4" - and currently the link is down on the thread - I just googled it and found it elsewhere. I tried one of the other OTA's and it would not work. Also, do exactly as netskull described - even regarding the antenna. When using VRALG1 4.04 - The second i entered the last "hashtag (#)" it popped up another screen which helped get my phone working. I did not have to press send or anything. Kind of sucks that I lost all data on my internal card, but I DID back it up and now I will have to go through and restore. Since some people were wondering -- It did not mess with anything on the external card... It did unroot my device, however, so I will have to do that again as well.
For some reason, flashing the latest MIUI messed up my phone and put it in roaming all the time. Oh well, happy i got it working, and subscribed . Thanks once again Nertskull.
