[Q] seemingly random reboots - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hello. I've had my skyrocket for few days and I've noticed it randomly reboot for what it seemed to be no real reason.
After trying for a while to figure out what might be wrong, I noticed the reboots seem to stop when I deactivate the "power saving mode". I'm still waiting to see if it reboots again though.
is this a known issue? a bug? I did search but couldn't find anything related.
maybe a custom rom would fix this? or maybe the phone defective?
Thanks for any info. the phone is running 2.3.5

you're completely stock? that's almost forsure a background app causing you problems, do u have any system/utility Alps installed at all?

yes, completely stock. haven't installed any system or utility apps. as far as I can remember it did the first reboot just a few minutes after I enabled the power saving mode in settings.
Is there a way to read some sort of log or something and try to find more info?

backup data with titanium backup. Flash cwm and do a nandroid backup. Flash darkside and then Odin stock back on phone. Restore Alps one by one over a few hours and check stability

That happened to me as well. Phone defective I would exchange it if I was you.

Android.process.acore

Well again.... Im about to lose my minda because of this damn thing! Now I'm getting a fc every 5 sec... Process acore? My tab is essentially dead? Can't do anything author a fc, can't go into settings our anything... I want to smash this thing! I just got it working well and now this? Anyone know what that process is? I cam do anything with it now, cant load a new rom because I can't get into settings. Its just in an intimate loop of fc. The real disaster is im in idaho, where I got it as a gift, and I'm flying back to nc in the morning.. Can't take out back before I leave..
Anyone know anything about the fc?

If you can get ClockWork to run on boot .You might need to wipe data and reinstall the rom..Not much you can do when it is constantly Fc'ing
Well I don't have cw on the tab, its still stock.. I'm hoping I can plug into a pc, download it and get root that way? Then possibly load a new rom... Otherwise I'm screwed.
Think that will work?

Maybe you should restore it back to factory settings...

That will bring it back to how it was out of the box, then start over.
If there are still issues then possible hardware problems?
Had this issue, even after NV flash. I was able to get CW (even with the fc) on and wipe, and partition the sd to 2gb. That seems to have cleaned it up.
This forum is the greatest on the entire internet!
Glad to hear you got it working. Imo, your issue is probably the worst thing about running stock - if you get these FC's, there's really no fix unless you take the risk of using a mod.
I believe it's the same reason why Staples pulled the devices - too many returns due to FC's OOTB.
Yes, it's too bad they did not include the "easy" button to reset to stock. Even with the upgrade, it may be enough to ultimately kill off the device. With all of the recovery images on my laptop now, I can put humpty dumpty back with ease. It's good for me, I plan to watch for returns. I could use a couple more of these.
I got cw installed and vegan, the table works like I'd expect now! This thing is awesome! Thanks for the help.
A resolution
I had this same issue happen to me on a new ROM not factory. I couldn't get into settings either to do the contact wipe. But Titanium was installed on it and I was able to wipe the contact data through there. Just an FYI if anyone else runs across the same problem.
Thanks to you Snyper....I just picked up my tab after placing it down for 10 mins and saw this error. Just a quick search in the thread and there is the answer. Man this forum rocks!!!
Just happened to me running vegan 3
clearing contact info worked like a champ!
thanks guys
I have the same issue. But, I don't have CW installed, Titanium won't load up. How can I manually get the clockword APK file on there to attempt to install it?
Any other ideas?

Hi,
Having had this acore FC problem last night, I have a couple of questions:
1) In your post above, you seem to have thought that this only happens with stock TNT. But, in this thread, it seems like others that are not running stock TNT also encounter this problem. So, it this a potential problem with all ROMs, or just with stock TNT?
2) From reading through and other threads, one fix when it happens is to clear the Contacts and ContactsProvider data, either using Settings, if you can get to it, or using Titanium, if you have it. I'm assuming that what both of those steps do is to clear out the tables in SQLlite for the Contacts and ContactsProvider apps. Is that right? If it is, do you, or does anyone know the command lines that would do the same thing?
The reason for the latter question is that when I had the problem, I could still do adb shell. If there was an sqllite command I could have used to clear the problem, I definitely would have done that, instead of having to install CWM, re-partition, and re-flash stock 3452!
Thanks,
Jim

Factory Reset

If I have cognition on my device now, would it be ok to do a factory reset. My phone keeps turning off by it's self and I want to try to do a reset since some people in other forums said thats what they did to fix their problem.
not sure if that is the problem, i've heard its actually a hardware issue, try odin one click to stock, and reflash! my cap is a 1007 build and i used to get random shutdowns while on stock, but when i started flashing custom ROM's it all stopped. the last person that did a factory reset on a custom ROM was asking how to build a jig... so maybe some of the other more expierenced people can help on this issue!

Has your phone shutdown on its own before running cog?
If your phone is experiencing the random shutdown issue, than it most likely will not matter which rom you are on as the problem is hardware related.
You could always try doing the reset - just remember you will lose your apps
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
So, how do you fix it? Should I have AT&T replace my device or what?
If you are in that return period, might as well! You will loose your apps, but if you use TiBu to back up, then copy all the contents of titanium backup to your desktop!

Huge problem with ICS Leak

After installing the ICS leak and rooting it, I can barely use the phone. It freezes constantly (for about 15-20 seconds) after any type of touch input, then I get an error message
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped"
Going to try clearing data, etc. but I'm not sure what is causing this, it might be the Play Store
Edit: I realized that the issue occurs after restoring using titanium backup. Not quite sure what specific app is causing the issue. Going to factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, restore using titanium until it works!
Wrong section buddy but ya just boot into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik

I've got no problem. Keyboard lags a little but that's fine.

I've had, I've found wiping cache & dalvik and doing a factory reset cleared most of them up. Still have issues with Rom Mngr.
Wiped cache and dalvik but still having issues. What's happening is that it will vibrate once, freeze, vibrate three times, then say "Unfortunately, the process android.proces.acore has stopped." after about 15-20 seconds. I'll try a factory reset but I might have to end up reverting back.
re-flash the rom. I have had this issue before. You HAVE to re-flash.

Through ODIN?
Ok well it seems a factory reset solved the problem (for now). I'll try another Titanium Backup and if that causes any issues I'll probably go back to GB

factory reset solved the problems that everyone is having with serious ICS issues.
Well I think I found the problem. It did happen again but I found the source. After the factory reset everything worked fine. When i did a Titanium Restore, however, I then rebooted, but the phone froze (or so I believe). I pulled the battery and turned it on and experienced issues

Sounds like an issue with something that was restored then...?
Ok, even more issues now. Without doing titanium backup, just a factory reset, the home button doesn't work, the phone doesn't shut off without pulling the battery, and the lock screen doesn't appear. Reflashing the ROM through ODIN to see if this will work...

When jumping between versions(EX 2.1->2.2, 2.3.5->3.0.4, sometimes even 2.3.3->2.3.7), I've never seen a full TitaniumBackup restoration work. Literally the exact same issues you are describing.
At most I can restore games saves/app settings, and I have to use something like SMS Backup and Restore for text messages.

I guess I'll give up on the Titanium restore for now. I've only had this phone for three weeks so I don't really have any data that can't be replaced.

I wonder how moving the data from /mnt/sdcard to PC for backup and then moving back to /mnt/sdcard after the ROM upgrade will affect the ROM stability...

Ah, I see.
I seem to have fixed most of the problems with before. I'm noticing a very slight delay with the home key, but none of the other capacative buttons, only home. Slightly frustrating.
if a titanium restore is truly the cause of your problem you should tryto restore apps only (not apps & data) you will have to re sign in to everything but you shouldn't have any freezing and such going on....
*note you will also lose any progress in any games and such but already your phone will be functional again!

Bootloops with any Rom, PLEASE HELP..!!

guys I have a serious problem..!!
I was in 5.1.8 everything was fine non a problem and when 5.5 came out I installed it, super wipe script, and install the Rom; I was getting a lot of boot loops. Reinstall the ROM again full wiping, ans still the same. I came back to 5.1.8 and I'm still having boot loops but not that often like it was in 5.5, now I have boot loops when turn on the data or when I try to make a call... I really don't know what could be the problem because I have installed hundreds of roms with the same steps and everything was fine,.I don't know what could be the problem...
I hope someone could help me thanks a lot

Hi... I once had a similar problem late last year. My phone kept rebooting randomly, sometimes as soon I switch the phone on, or data like yourself. What I did was.... Installed the official RUU that came on my phone (O2) and the rebooting stopped. But I felt the need to send it back anyway, so I did and just as well, because HTC replaced the mainboard and a few other things. I hadn't overclocked or anything either so it was a strange one.
This way worked for me, so give it a go.
I rooted my phone, then unrooted without ever installing a custom rom. I have gotten boot loops ever since and seemingly random shut downs that require me to take out the battery and put it back in before the phone will boot up again. Happens every day, several times a day.

When you say rooted and unrooted what exactly did you do?? Meaning did you HTC unlock or use revolutionary to s-off? And what recovery did you use? Because in actuality all root is, is the su binaries and the su app, not the process of gaining the access. There are inherent problems with the htcdev unlock and using cwm as your recovery. Even if you delete su the remnants of either process could possibly cause problems. Did you return to s-on again?? Because that will cause serious issues if you don't have the correct ruu. Did you flash any newer firmwares??? The few before .32 did cause loops without the correct rom.
Also in your case it sounds like a rogue app causing loops because it boots up after a battery pull. Have you tried to factory reset and wipe your data to see if that helps??

Thanks but not s-off anymore and just got another reboot so I doubt it's the battery. I guess I'll try to deal with it until ICS and see if that fixes anything. If not then I guess I'll try something more drastic.
Well get soff you can't fix with out it

Ok, got s-off again.
It seems to have something to do with going in and out of service or switching between wifi and cell service. But that could just be a coincidence.
Anyone have ideas on how to fix this? I got the OTA ICS and I'm still getting reboots.

Well guys after reading I fixed my problem cleaning the little panels in the battery, and also installing another rom, seems like the htc sense roms have some problems with that because since I install a senseless rom (not aosp) the problem is gone

I think you did not unroot properly. Can you please describe the process you used for unrooting?
Don't remember what guide I used to unroot as it was a while back. It definitely seems to have something to do with the signal. It will lose signal, reboot, get pretty warm and repeat while sometimes just shutting off and needing the battery pulled and put back before it will turn back on. My wife will have a signal just fine in the same areas mine loses them.
Very frustrating because I'm missing a lot of calls and txts because it'll just shut down.

First make a NANDROID backup now. Then try rooting again to see if that fixes the issue.
If not, try to flash a different Radio. I would in your case also suggest wiping all partitions except SD card and re-installing the ROM, after flashing the radio.

[Q] Need Help after rooting implosion

UPDATE: 07-04-14 5:25pm EST:
I was able to get all my data off using a mac. I re-flashed Purity ROM after doing a full wipe. I have now re-installed all most of my apps and have begun normal use. For now this is resolved hopefully I have no further issues. Thanks for the response @Kreateablaze Much appreciated.
So here is a brief history about what I did and what I am experiencing. I am pretty much a newb here so please be gentle and excuse my ignorance.
Just in case you don't want to read my book below:
TLDR: rooted phone, Installed TWRP, installed Purity Rom, system failed hardcore, cant get data off my phone because explorer crashes. I just want to get my data off so I can re-install a ROM or just flash back to stock and re-lock the bootloader.....
-Unlocked bootloader, rooted, and installed TWRP using "Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit"
(just want to give props to any one involved in that tool, it is an amazing tool and worked flawlessly!)
-After running the toolkit, I was successfully rooted and running TWRP.
-I ran a back up using TWRP. Is that what is referred to as a "Nandroid" back up?
-After running this back up I installed "Purity ROM"
-For the first 24 hours everything was fine.
-I had to reboot my N5 due to an app that was acting up and a reboot usually cleared up the issue if force stopping didn't. (an app I used before rooting and I knew how to fix the issue I was having, I don't think this is related to my issue.)
-After rebooting the phone, I was faced with a pop up stating something along the lines of android UI has stopped working. I clicked okay, unlocked the phone it flashed black with my home screen icons and everything went back to normal. I rebooted the phone again just to make sure that was a one time fluke. This time The phone was in an endless crash cycle. Every process I could think of was crashing non stop the phone was unusable. I did some research and found something that said to go into TWRP and run a permissions repair.
-After running permissions repair my phone booted back up and was working relatively okay.
-After the repair rebooting my N5 results in that same UI crash I got the first time. BUT the phone is usable, and that process never crashes again unless I reboot.
-After running that permissions repair some of my apps disappeared. Trying to re-install them results in a -24 error. I got a few of them to re-install by clearing related data in data/data folder. A few of my apps refuse to re-install even though there is no trace of the data in the data/data folder.
-Another issue I am having after all of this is that I can NOT pull any data off of the phone. I plug it in, Windows recognizes the phone but it takes about 10-15 minutes to load the folder structure. I am then unable to copy any of the data off of the phone. Explorer crashes and I cant get the data off. UPDATE: I was able to get the data of the phone by using a friends Mac. I will post an update with some more info.
-I need to get my data off the phone before I can continue but am unable to. Any help would here would be greatly appreciated.
-Also if any one knows a more stable ROM with a similar feature set to Purity that is fast, has good battery life and isn't packed to the gills with features tht may one day cause more issues that they are worth. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys may be able to offer me.
Well I'm not too sure what your issue could be, but purity is one of the most stable roms on here... Have you looked in the purity thread for posts saying the same thing happened? I highly doubt it is the rom.

I would definitely agree that something went wrong rather than the ROM being unstable..... Any idea about how to get my data off the phone. at this point that is my main concern so I can re-flash purity....

I'm not too sure, I never had to get the data off my phone using a computer, always just used titanium backup. Maybe try reflashing purity, just wipe cache not any data.
