[Q] Phone reboots

So I got the desire S for more then a year now and decided to flash it with 4.0.4.
Build date 24 june. From here.
Now the first week I didn't seem the have any problems but now it randomly reboots. Mostly it keeps rebooting till I plug it in the powersupply then it keeps working and I can take it out again. But after a while... during a call or just when it's in my pocket it reboots again. What can be the problem here? Anyone who got a anser for that?

More information please
ROM name? How did you root / unlock your DS? What other apps have you recently added that may have helped to cause this?

CyanogenMod 9 Alpha for HTC Desire S
That mod I installed. I only installed whatsapp and google maps.
Other then that didnt do anything else.
To unlock the phone I used the following software.
SuperOneClick 2.2
adb-fastboot-win
ClockworkMod Recovery

There were problems like this a while back with CM9, but they haven't happened for a while.
There were, also, some issues with using CMW but none with using 4EXT Touch.
So, my suggestion would be:
Install 4EXT Recovery Control and Touch Recovery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ext.recovery.control)
Install the ROM again using a clean install - superwipe all partitions as 4ext (format, not to be confused with the name of the recovery tool)
I assume that if you are on hboot 2.00.0002 you know about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100

[Q] Custom ROM always bricking

Hi there, I have been trying for countless hours to make a custom ROM work on my P920 with no results, always some issues. I've managed to brick my phone in different ways a billion times now, then spent billion hours unbricking it and in the end I'm always back to where I started. I would really love some help please.
My phone is P920.
The android version I'm running is: 2.3.5
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7+
Software version: V21E
Rooting method: megatron
Now I would like a ROM that uses Android 4 and that can still use the 3D features such as 3D camera, the ROM calledthe Darkroom International would be an example I imagine.
While that's one of the ROMs that I would want, I've tried many, and always encountering issues, let me clarify.
First of all my device has to be rooted and since SuperOneClick doesn't work for me as it gets stuck on step 7, I use megatron which works well. I even double check if my phone is rooted with the Root Checker from the Android store. Now according to the guides I've read I need a custom recovery system, so I install Clockworkmod. I then place the ROM on the SD card, in the recovery menu I delete cache, that other cache, format it, format system, data, everything those guides tell me to. Afterwards, I install the ROM by selecting the zip and then I reboot. I've tried like 3 different ROMs, jellybem, cyanogenmod and some other. Yes I know none of them support 3D features - I didn't know at the time. Anyway, the issue was always the same, right after the LG logo there would be a screen with some weird colors showing the display of what happened before the phone crashed. Before it crashed? Yes, the phone would actually boot into the ROM but only for a few minutes, crashing afterwards. The next time I would boot, it would show that weird screen with those fancy colors with what happened just before it crashed. So I followed some steps and I got back to the original 2.3.5 ROM, everything back to normal.
I tried doing some more research and I came across the Darkroom Intentional ROM which had a bit different instructions. It asked me to install TWRP recovery with a bootloader, so I did, successfully, then did all the clean cache etc, installed ROM, bam, wouldn't boot at all. Oh boy have I had issues here, I couldn't even get it back to the default 2.3.5 stock ROM because my phone wasn't even recognized in the device manager. So I did some more research, found a solution, managed to flash back to 2.3.5 stock and I'm back to square one.
Now, could someone please help and explain to me what exactly have I done wrong and how I can make it right? I've spent countless hours now trying to install a custom ROM with no success. Sorry about the long read. If you need me to supply some more information please let me know. Thank you.

First of all if u want to use an ICS ROM then u need to update to ICS FIRST u can't flash it directly from 2.3.5 u can use xbsalls thread to update......
Next if cm based Roms are crashing then u need to flash bootloaders which means u should use os_hacking tool to flash ICS bootladers if u wanna update
Or flash GB bootloaders
So first update if u want
Root
Flash bootloaders
Flash recovery
Flash Roms

[Q] Bootloop struck me.

Hey Guys,
today I was playing with my Xperia L, as it shut down because battery went empty.
It is unlocked and rooted and i installed the deodexed apps mod and vengeance kernel
i loaded it up and tried to switch it on but it didnt work - Bootloop.
I tried several things, started by flashing stock and repaired via sus (on my old phone that always worked, but XL has a different bootloader so whatever sus didnt start)
then i flashed the 5.0.A.1.31 file general cust. and didnt boot up.
then vengeance Kernel and the new rom and i just see it booted.
Now i wanna know if that shutdown could have caused that the system couldnt be loaded? kernel and else worked.

ps no unfortunately i cannot serve with any logs or similar...

fixed it by flashing the rom (vengeanceraptorx) and then teflashing this special ftf

[Q] GSM support for alien rom on xperia J

[Q] Is there any way to get GSM network to work on cyanogen based Alien rom, in xperia j?
I just rooted my Xperia J 4.1.2 (.31) yesterday and went ahead with AVD which supposed to be based on stock xperia rom. But unfortunately its was a bit buggy. SystemUI.apk suddenly stops working and many apps kept crashing on me .. few other roms like slim were asking to be downgraded to ICS which i dont want to... then came Alien rom to my rescue. this rom is really clean not to mention the Acid Audio ENgine and stuff ...T____T I so badly want to keep this rom its ****ing perfect..!!! if only if the GSM would work, which while installing i didn't know that no cyanogenmod 10 based rom has GSM support !
Now i'm whining here because i just want someone more knowledgeable than me to give me the confirmation that that i have absolutely no other choice, other than going back to the AVD. LIke the GSM fix for the ICS baseband is there positively NOTHING out there for JB :crying:

You need to downgrade to ics first, then flash any cm10 based rom, or gsm.will not work.

just one more doubt...

getting out of alien rom and reinstalling AVD i screwd up and soft bricked my phone.
SO i had to use a pc to reflash the stock JB. BUt that has locked the bootloader again coz the PC companion can detect my phone again.
so just need to confirm certain things...
SO if i flash stock ICS then i will have to unlock my bootloader again right...? I presume i will have to root my phone too all over again... ? before installing the rom ?

PLease HELP!!!
Ok this is sooo irritating...!!! T____T
I flashed my phone with 4.0.4 ICS, st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf form Matej X's 4shared folder.

i figured to root st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf from this guide http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics
but not inspite of downgrading to ics, when i installed MIUI5 rom i'm i'm getting no simcard ad hense GSM is not working all manually scanned networks are shown as "UNKNOWN" !
Now i have flashed back to stock ICS rom...
when i flast the stock rom using flashtool the simlock.ta file gets ignored. what's up with that, wherever i have read about its not supposed to be a issue...
Can someone help me this is really getting frustrating....
Can some one help me find the link for ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf ICS stock rom which will be detected by flashtool...
MIUI5 was really nice, I would like to use it. Its based on cyanogenmod10 fxp 226 ... My issue with that is i use the instruction here to install it, but its condusing.

It says "6.Wipe device
from cm9 device wipe is necessary only at first flash or when you switch cm version
!!! if after boot you experience ForceClose then is recomended to reboot to recovery and wipe device
7.Partition format
is not recomended to format your partitions unless you are advised to do otherwise"
Now in CWM what do i have to wipe...???
There are too many options to wipe....
1. wipe data/factory rest
2. wipe catch partition
Under advanced
Wipe delvic catch ...
Which and all am i supposed to wipe ?
Please bare with me guys i'm at my witt's end here...T____T
I just want one CM 10 based rom working for me... That's all ...

Here's the thing mate, AlienRom works perfectly fine for me. Just flash over stock ICS and Not JB and select Use 2G network on settings. Give it another try , oh and I highly discourage MIUI, it may look pretty but it is lag as hell. Browser takes sooo long to load and so lag

Hey Racer X,
I was thinking about the same thing... Alien rom is the only rom where i encoutered absolutely "0" lag, Brilliant work there man thanks a lot.
Would it be possible to flash it directly on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS because i'm not able to root ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf with any tutorial here...
SO far i have tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071817
and the other option being flashing to stock 11.0.A.7.5 and using Unlockroot.exe
But windows won't even detect the exe file and Google chrome's calling it a malicious file and won't let me download it .
SO i have sort of hit a roadblock with 11.0.a.7.5
So i was hoping i can flash alien rom straight on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS, which i rooted with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics

Omg...!!! I did it ... :d
OMG... I just went ahead and did it... this is sooo f****** AWWWWSOME...!!!
Now i have Alien rom with GSM WORKING !!!:good:
I didn't even go for 7.5 i just stuck with .18 and went to alien rom 4.1.2
BTW can i keep the cyanogenmod upates setting to weekly or should i keep it at manual/???
I don't want to loose the gms connection just coz it updated on its own ... ?
What do you think ?

[Q] Boot loop

Hi guys,
My son of 9 wanted a telephone so I bought him a LG P920 3D because I can't afford a new one now. I wanted to install CyanogenMod cm-10-20131006-NIGHTLY-p920 and gapps-jb-20121011-signed. I have done it before with my own phone (S3) and tablet (TF101) and that went just fine.
Now with my son's phone something went wrong. It's now only showing the round CyanogenMod logo which keeps spinning and nothing more.
I especially bought ClockworkMod Touch Recovery to flash it with. Please help me because my little boy is very dissapointed and he got a present, a car you can control wireless with a phone and that was the reason why I wanted to flash it. So he could play with his new toy.
I did a factory reset so I started flashing with a clean phone. Please help me!

First install ICS V30A baseband use this video (you may need to go in to the stock recovery after flashing and do a factory reset is a problem arises during flashing)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqC5qw6WRaY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
secound install WKparts bootloader and TWRP you can use a tool om this forum named simple tool can be found here everything you need is in the tool
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p959msww1ol04s4/BUlrkRLEs7
and then load a rom on to the external SD card and flash it in TWRP or CWM touch i recomend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164367
if you want the newest CM although it's a bit more hassle with this 4.2.2 pacman rom as you need to delete the first line in updater script for it to work properly on ICS

@sioxz
thanks for your response but after a while I found out that I had to hold on the volume down (and not up!) + power + 3D button. I've read somewhere volume up so ofcourse nothing happened. Finally back in recovery I could flash again another rom and that went fine. But now I have another problem and that is I don't have a baseband version.
So no 3G!! What do I have to do to get a baseband?? I really have no idea, I've search everywhere but I couldn't find anything.

i don't know where you can flash only the base band but the V30A haves baseband in it and it makes to that you have to flash the custom bootloader which works really good (can boot anything)

You can flash baseband with LG Flash Tool.

Can you please tell me how, step-by-step. I've read some tutorials here but they are so not easy to read because they always use so many different colors and fonts it becomes hard for me to understand what they are saying.

Mine is about as clear and detailed as you will find
