I love everything about the SK4G but the constant reboots is it's only Achilles Heel. I've tried installing the Glorious Overdose V2 ROM on it, and the phone has seen overall improvement but the reboot problem has not been fixed and everytime I open an application or playing games it will freeze and then reboot. Can anyone suggest a ROM they're using that has helped with the reboots occurring all the time?
Try GingerClone, it's one of the lighter roms.
trying a different rom might help, but chances are if you flashed a rom and the problem persists, then flashing another rom may not help. I had the same problem with the stock rom. my phone rebooted every 15 minutes to a half hour for almost a whole working day. finally I shut the phone off, booted into CWM recovery, clicked on advanced, and ran fix permissions. I suggest that you not use a program or script to boot into CWM, because I have tried that and it doesnt work. after I ran fix permissions, the endless rebooting stopped. if you like the rom you're on, try fix permissions and see if it works. you really dont have anything to lose. if it doesnt work, just flash another rom. I recommend fix permissions a lot, because it has worked for me many times.

Hello Peeps,
I was trying to flash a rom yesterday and had something strange happen to me.
The rom featured Aroma installer and I had flashed this particular rom roughly 5 or 6 times with no issues.
Yesterday, I did a full wipe and tried to do a new install of this rom.
There was an option screen in aroma that allows you to choose your own mods and features or use the developers defaults.
I was on this screen trying to choose the developers defaults option and Aroma simply froze up.
It would not let me choose with version to flash.
The touch screen wouldnt respond and I didnt know what to do.
I searched google and found nothing.
I decided to do a battery pull.
I know that a batter pull during a flash is something we should never do as it will brick our phones.
In this case, as the flash had not actually started yet I decided to try it.
I pulled battery and booted into recovery and was able to restore a nanroid.
I am just curious if anyone else has had this issue?
How dangerous was it to pull my battery?
Could I have bricked my phone?
Phone has been working just fine, I am just wondering if there is another way to resolve an issue with Aroma like that?
Thank you,
I never had that problem as for the pull battery it is fine as long as you're not flashing.
I was installing a ROM on my sister's s3 when the aroma installer completely froze. I pulled the battery and it boot looped but wouldn't go into recovery until around the 10th or so time (vol up + home + power). Flashed it again and it worked fine...really weird.
As for bricking your phone I agree with above poster, it should be fine if you aren't flashing anything.

I've had this same issue happen a couple of times. It usually happens when I try to install the Jelly 'Beans' rom...sometimes it will work, sometimes it will freeze. I usually have to do a battery pull and recovery will come right back up. I've noticed this seems to happen the most when the phone has grown hot...so maybe it has something to do with RAM, etc.
Hello,
I'm running out of ideas to solve my problem with my Sensation, maybe you can help. I was on my beloved ViperS5 ROM and it crashed while browsing due to memory overload or something. After several boot attempts and removing the battery I managed at least to get into bootloader/recovery (ended up with a black screen or freeze 8/10 times). Reinstalled the ROM and it kept crashing at the configuration screen, resulting in a boot loop. So I tried a few other ROM's, exactly the same results.
My last hope was going back to stock using RUU, same problem at the configuration screen, but I managed to boot after few reboots. The phone still crashes after few minutes, when I try to start any app, resulting in a boot loop/black screen/HTC logo freeze. (tried to remove the SD card, it didn't help)
Any ideas how to fix this?
did you leave the device switched off for a long time?
if not do it and then try to switch it on
probably it is still overheated when you are trying to boot it
leave it for 10-15 minutes
best wishes
Maybe it's really damaged from overheat, cause it even crashed in recovery once, so I guess I'm ****ed. I will try to leave it switched off for a few hours, but I doubt it will help. Thanks so far.
Now I get random crashes even in recovery (4EXT, also tried TWRP), I managed to install some custom ROM's, but can't even boot properly after flashing (keeps freezing or restarting in the boot process). My Sensation is JuopunutBear S-OFF, had no problems with flashing ROM's before that. So I guess it is a hardware failure.

If memory serves correctly you should be able to get a logcat from the phone while its in recovery. it might shed come light on what is producing the failures, but its definitely sounding like a hardware failure. Were you overclocked?
How do I get a logcat?
I'm able to stay in recovery for enough time to wipe data, then it randomly crashes or when I try to flash a rom (-> black screen, remove battery to get it back on).
I couldn't even install stock RUU at the first attempt - freezing the whole installation process. No overclocking, also tried the original battery (bought a new one), with/without sdcard/sim -> still crashing.
Edit: Ok, there's a guide for logcat on xda. I will post results after work as soon as I get back home .
How is your sensation going on?

hello, may i know how is your sensation device condition? recently my device having the same issue as yours and out of idea to solve it. before i send device to repair i hope can get some other solution which i miss. thanks in advance if able to provide further infomation.
Pardon for a long story but someone gave this Samsung J7 Prime(SM-G610F) to me with an issue "An Error Has Occurred While Updating The Device Software". So I gave Samsung Smart Switch a try sadly they removed the Initialize option and old version don't seam to do what it suppose to do so I wen to a traditional Odin flashing. I then look for a stock rom for the phone that I think is the right one. Started with android 6 MM region pakistan and flashing went well. I was able to use it for a good hour or two until I notice it restarted by it self, then it keeps doing it 10-20 seconds after booting up. I though its the firmware I'm using so I went and look for Oreo version this time I region india (I don't know if region matters). So I flashed it again and tested the device again. I'm still able to use it for a good while till it restarted again. I then keep testing it to see what may be causing the problem. I notice that when the WIFI is on it just crash the phone to reboot so as soon as the phone reboots I turned the wifi off and it didn't crash anymore. I then factory reset the phone cleared everything, wipe cache then installed benchmark tools first. Thing I notice is it crashes when Google Play store is trying to install or download something. I tested it a couple of times to see when it crash and it does crash when downloading or installing something. I was still able to install 3Dmark and run it with wifi off. It completed the test without crashing so it couldn't the processor issue. I then look for another rom and tried flashing it. This time I had issue with it failing at system.img even if I use recent rom that worked. I then keep trying till flashing TWRP worked and flashing the rest of the rom is fine again.
What bothers me is why doesn't it crash during the first couple of hours. I've search similar issues and they say it may have been and app issue. I've already disabled bunch of app but nothing changed. Run the phone in safe mode but this time instead of crashing and rebooting right away it freezes for a few seconds. I suspect if google play or something being an issue since I've tried disabling it and it didn't crash for a couple of hours. Looked for allot of related thread but none of them seam to solve my problem.
I suspect either its the rom that I'm using and it can only be fixed by using the original rom, or its having a memory issue but don't know how to pin point it. Anyone can suggest on how I can debug this? I'm used to debugging things in real time and my knowledge with android is a quite slim but as a programming understanding the errors won't be a problem. I hope.
Edit: Hmm. Does copying kernel log with TWRP work or the kernel logs get overwritten every time the phone reboots? Because I see the kernet logs but don't see anything failing except for something saying SHUTDOWN but I don't think thats it. :S
Still no reply. :S I think its /system dismounting it self while doing a write operation. but it doesn't trigger until a certain amount of time after the phone is flashed or factory reset. I have to go to recovery and mount system back but that only happens on marshmallow. over version it remounts it self after the random reboot. After factory reset I'm able to install COD mobile and play a couple of match. after a long while it just decides to reboot.
I also tried z3x and after reading PIT from phone OK. the phone just reboots and flashing completes without it doing any flashing.
yo guys!
So, months ago I flashed a custom ROM on my j700m, it was EnigmaUX, it worked fine for quite a long time, but I had a issue with it that bothered me: sometimes, when the phone rebooted, it just wont accept my pattern and kept saying it was wrong until I rebooted the phone again. With that in mind, I decided to flash a new ROM to try fixing this problem, I flashed the NOUGAT 7.1.1 - SE 8.5 & GAMING and along with the previous issue I had, I also got a new one: my phone kept rebooting randomly, sometimes the system wont even start back, I had to remove the battery in order to start, it's like the phone reboots in the middle of the start process. My next attempt was to flash the stock rom, which is: J700MUBU2BRC2, and the problem is still happening. The pattern bug stills happens too, that's the weird thing, I removed the ROM and I still have the same glitch... like it was not completely removed.
Does anyone have any ideia what's causing that?
Hi I once rooted my galaxy a12 but clean flashed it with stock rom but now the phone can randomly restart even when I'm using it, i tried wiping cache and did factory reset many times and even repeated flashing the stock rom but my phone still restart itself while using it. Can someone help please
I faced the same issue, I've solved freezing the cidmanager app.
There's some apps that read the system logs, maybe you can post them here when it happens. Maybe someone will understand.
Update:
After flashing about two week ago the stock rom with magisk, the phone start rebooting itself after the startup or a reboot; even after freezing the cidmanager app. I've finally solved the issue, don't ask how it's possible... but flashing this debloater https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/wizzrom-creator.4300953/ fix this issue. No more random reboots.
