I rooted my phone last night and all day today had horrible battery life (4 hours little usage) along with some what looked to be screen reboots. I only rooted phone did not install a rom nor any aps other than titanium. Any ideas why why this is happening and what I should do? Not new to rooting had an incredible that I spent many hours playing with.

Which method did you use to root your phone? There are several different ways to do it.
Have you checked your battery stats to see what is using your battery? Have you tried restarting your phone?
If restarting your phone doesn't solve your issues, you could install a custom recovery and then wipe your data, cache and dalvik-cache, and then install a new ROM which should solve any of your problems (much like your probably did on your Incredible). If you don't want to use a custom ROM, there are strock, rooted images available both for flashing through ODIN as well as flashing through Recovery.
I used the casual file method. Checked battery stats and nothing out of the ordinary. Also rebooted phone several times. I have a mac so I can't use Odin to go back to stock and try again. I also don't want to install a custom rom yet because I'm waiting for some bugs to be fixed on the synergy rom before I make that jump. My main reason for getting root was to freeze some apps in the meantime (haven't frozen any yet) and to enable the gps toggle switch on car dock via nfc which is working great.

Since I can't use Odin how would I go back to stock? Install the nandroid backup i made then unroot using casual? But before trying that do you think wiping dalvik might work? Strange that this is happening.

So you do have a custom recovery installed already? You don't need Odin as long as you have a custom recovery.
You can try clearing both your cache and dalvik-cache in recovery, and then reboot to see if it solves your problems.
If it doesn't, then backup and sync your data (wiping your data won't wipe your "internal sd card", but you will lose all of your system settings). UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER (search for ez-unlock on the market). Then put this on your sd card (or internal memory): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941334
Boot to recovery. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache. Install that stock, rooted ROM. Reboot and reset up your phone settings.
i used the recovery that was suggested with the casual process. I think i might have fixed my issue i downloaded Rom Manager and reinstalled recovery and powered off my phone then removed battery and now the phone is smooth again but im still noticing that my battery is draining rather quick. This is very strange. Im thinking of unrooting and trying it all over again. I just need to find the original Verizon image.

Strange problem on my wife's Charge. I just got her rooted, onto GB EP1W, and put her on TeamSBrissenMod's ROM, which I have been happily running for days.
After flashing last night, I let her spend this morning restoring her apps, wallpapers, themes, etc. She likes pink, lol. Well, after all of that, when she was done and satisfied, I showed her how to access CWM and create a backup. She did it, but when she rebooted, the phone has reset itself back to the point where it would look like the ROM was just freshly installed. No apps, no nothing, right back down to the default ROM wallpaper.
I tried to go back and restore the backup she just created, but its just the same thing, vanilla, freshly installed ROM. Im at a loss, never seen this happen before, and she certainly didn't make a mistake and reset anything as she backed up.

unfortunately this is a known issue that CWM wipes data on first boot into it after installing the rom... same issue that was happening with earlier Gummy GB versions

This is a known issue with the Infinity ROM. Specifically, it is with the kernel that ships with the ext4 version of the ROM. imoseyon's kernel does not have this issue, and it is fully compatible with the ROM.
Ok two answers, and I appreciate both, but which is it? An issue with the kernel, or this version of CWM? If its CWM, that makes me not want to boot into CWM ever..how do i resolve/get around it? I was intending on doing my own backup today as a matter of fact. Now, not so sure lol. I'll go back to the ROM thread too to see who has had the issue previously.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
Well the answer seems to be to avoid CWM while on Infinity. Guys have tried every CWM version there is and data wipes on each one.
Is there expected "official" support from Clockworkmod on it's way for the Charge?

The wipe has *nothing* to do with CWM. It has everything to do with the kernel. imnuts has said this. imoseyon's kernel does not cause wipes on any version of CWM. This is 100% verified.

also (for myself anyway) it is only wiping data on the first boot into CWM... I flashed the Infinity rom, discovered it wasn't rooted so I booted into CWM and flashed superuser then booted up and was wiped but rooted, after that I've had no wipes

I will second what shrike is saying. I have also started using imoseyon's kernel and have had no problems going into CWM for any installs since using them.
The reason your data is getting wiped only on the first time is because two of the EXT4 partitions (I think they're Cache and Data) get reformatted back to RFS by the kernel (after you reboot). This is what wipes your phone. The second time you go into CWM and reboot, those partitions are already RFS, so the kernel doesn't have to reformat them, and your data stays.
I got this while replying to a text message...
I've been getting quite alot of these, from even various applications. It's driving me nuts!!!!
Is there any (permanent) solution for this??
ROM: Gummy
Kernel version: 3.1.10_IcyGlitch_V14-BS_I896-I897 [email protected] #1
Baseband version: T959TLJL3
I'd be forever grateful if this problem could be solved... I really love this ROM
First I would reboot to recovery, then wipe cache, in advanced wipe dalvik cache, then fix permissions. If the problem comes back , I would back up your apps, msgs, that you want, then, wipe system,cache, wipe data/factory reset, and reflash. Maybe a newer rom.

This is a bug firmware, also sometimes a problem when using swap. I recommend flash newest ROM, they are much better.

I did the first thing you reommended, it didn't work and to make matters worse, ma phone doesn't pass the boot screen....
I quickly rebooted in recovery and made a nandroid backup - followed your second suggestion but i never made a backup of ma msgs because you didn't say so in the 1st suggestion... i can load new roms but can restore from ma nandroid backup
When you wipe dalvik cache, your phone can and will take several minutes to reboot, because it's rebuilding the dalvik cache. Secondly, wiping dalvik cache and fixing permissions wouldn't cause your phone to not boot. Between my wife's and my phone, I've flashed Roms, updated, experimented, fixed, stuff, etc... hundreds of times, and never has a dalvik cache wipe / fix permissions caused the phone to not boot. Hesitant to try to help, because you seem to be blaming me..... But if you can't restore a nandroid, it could be you're on a kernel in which the nandroid backup/restore feature doesn't work, you are running an earlier ICS build.

ALSO.... it's the second time i am seeing where reboot take way longer than usual after restoring from a nandroid backup. I av done quite a few and reboot takes less than 10mins. I attempted one the other day and 2hrs 30mins later all i saw was the splash screen and boot animation, phone HOTT!!
This evening again, it looked as if it was going to do the same thing thing... it passed 20mins, i can't sit around waiting for that again
It sounds like a flash to stock KK4 (Full Reparation) would be your best bet. If you're already on G. B. bootloaders, I would recommend the NO BOOTLOADER version, no use flashing bootloader unnecessarily. After that, I would flash the rom of your choice, following the instructions in the O. P. line by line.
Maybe a lot more current rom.

Then I recommend re-flash the stock kk4 NO BOOTLOADER, format the internal sd, install the ROM again and install all the programs manually, not with the nandroid backup.

No matter what custom rom I try to load on my G2X, it will go through, install the rom, and then when it reboots past the LG screen, it gets to whatever custom boot screen in on the rom, and just locks up. The only way I can get it to boot after that point is to NVFlash back to stock.
Tried searching through this site and google, but can't find a solution.
You need to say what the process is that you attempted to do. Wipes and what not.

Rooted phone, added Clockwork, booted into CW recovery, did data and cache wipes, installed CM7 from SD card, rebooted, phone froze at custom boot screen. Reboot, still frozen. Would not boot at all.
Used NVFlash to reinstall stock image on phone, rooted phone, CW recovery, data and cache wipes, installed a different rom for my phone model, same result. Back to stock using same process, tried a third rom using same process, same result, frozen phone that won't go beyond boot screen.
Using this same process on my old T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant, it worked perfectly on several different roms.
It sounds like you may have a ROM for a different model phone. Can you send a link to the ROM that you downloaded for us to see?
Also, is your phone a T-Mobile G2x or an LG Optimus 2x (O2x).

It is a T-mobile G2X, LG-P999DW.
The CM7 link was straight from the CM7 site, it wasn't an experimental mod or anything, it was the stable one listed under the G2X.

Considering cm roms are supposed to wipe system prior to flash, I couldn't imagine what is going on. Try wiping system just in case and after that, try installing from internal as well. Other options would be download other ways, like on PC or from phone transfer the files differently. Other then that can't really help you.

The last time I pulled it directly on my phone, the other times I downloaded via my PC and then copied the file. Had been via external so I tried internal that last time too. I'm close to madness, but I'm also too stubborn to give up.
I was thinking maybe I need to replace the kernel, but I'm not sure whether that's the problem or which Kernel to try if I did need to.
I had a similar issue on a tablet of mine. What version of CWM are you using? Are you using the touch version? The touch version has had some boot problems. Did you try partition the SDCard in the advanced settings? I forget which I used on my phone. Has anyone else partitioned theirs?
Well, not knowing which peice is broken let me just recap my process for you and see how it works:
1. Use OneClick NVFlash from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 and select Flash CWM 5.0.2.0
2. Boot to CWM
3. format cache
4. format data
5. format system
6. format Dalvik cache
7. flash ROM from external/internal memory
8. flash kernel (optional, not required unless doing kernel testing)
9. flash gapps-package
10. fix permissions
11. reboot
I have not had this process screw up once for me so far. If this process does not work for you then you leave me really be scratching my skull...

don't root and then try. mostly roms come with super user access so try without rooting it manually.

i want to update cm10 for the infuse 4g but i dont know how can someone please help and if i do update it does it delete all my apps and stuff please help?
Yes it will delete everything as you will need to do a full wipe. There are many apps that will back everything up but I use titanium back up. Once you back everything boot to recovery and do a full wipe/format and flash your ROM of choice and gapps... any questions... let me know.... I'm still a noob but I'm sure I can help you flash a ROM...
Sent From My Swagged Out AOKP Build 5 Galaxy S3!
If I am reading your question right, you are asking how to update cm10 to cm10. Aka newer version?
If it is the same ROM download it and the corresponding gapps (if newer)
Turn off your phone and take out your SD card.
Then boot into recovery. (Either three finger it, or start the phone back up and reboot into recovery)
At the main menu wipe cache.
Go into advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache.
Go back and go into mounts and storage.
Format /system
Then go back and flash from sdcard
Choose the newer ROM image and flash.
Then flash the new gapps.
Then restart phone. If it goes back to recovery just hit reboot phone again.
This method will not delete your personal apps just system apps. It may reset a few settings, such as log in credentials. But no big deal. (This would depend on the app not what you did)
These methods will never delete your personal photos or music. Only way to ever mess this up is a brick. Which only happens when you do risky flashes, or flash over USB with faulty wires.
If you are asking to go cm10 from cm9 it is described in the ROMs.
If you are going from say cm10 to liquid smooth rom, you can try the above method, but some settings may transfer funny and screw stuff up, so it is better to do the above steps but first do a Wipe data/factory reset.
This factory reset unfortunately wipes all your personal apps. To avoid this as best as possible I suggest titanium back up and use it to back up all your apps. The difference between pay and free titanium back up that you will notice, is that the paid one auto installs all apps, free one you have to install them by pressing install, done, install, done. This is annoying with 25+ apps. I paid for this reason alone.
Hope I helped at all.

Over many iterations of Beanstalk my phone has had random reboots, sometimes hanging at the beanstalk logo, other times it will just freeze and i'll push the power button for screen on and nothing will happen. I'm trying to figure out if my hardware is flakey, anyone know an app for that? Or if maybe my installation procedure is the problem (it is posted below). I did a clean install of 1.205 yesterday and already 3 crashes. I wiped the dalvik and regular caches this morning after the 3rd crash to see if that may help. Any advice is appreciated. I dirty flashed 1.205 before and it didn't even seem this bad so not sure if it is completely random or what. Thanks!
Installation Procedure:
Flash Clean Wipe - Stock UCLB3
Factory Reset (Erase SD)
Flash Again w/ Bootloaders
Factory Reset (+Erase)
Flash Clean Wipe - Entropy Kernel
Factory Reset (Erase SD)
Copy CM9, Bean ROM, Gapps to SD Card
--CWM CM9--
Flash CM9
Reboot System (Do NOT use 'reboot recovery' in advanced)
System Hangs -> 3 Finger CWM Boot
Mounts -> Storage
Format system, data, cache
Flash CM9 again
Reboot
After boot -> Factory Reset (DO NOT erase SD)
--CWM--
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache
advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
Install Beanstalk ROM
recovery reboots
auto resume install (if not flash zip again)
Install gapps
wipe cache
advanced -> wipe dalvik
After boot -> Factory Reset (Erase SD)
Also, I am not overclocking or undervolting, someone suggested that before so I turned it all off.
Sounds like your restoring apps and data with titanium backup or something. Are you? If so, that explains the reboots. I highly doubt it's the rom

I seriously doubt it is the ROM, not trying to blame it.
Trying to figure out if my hardware is going flakey and causing it, if I'm doing something wrong with the install, or some other thing I'm messing up.
I do restore with Titanium, but I only restore apps, not data.
The only other major thing I have changed that I can think of is the DPI to 182.
Ok the apps you restore, are any of them backups you made when you where on a gingerbread rom?
Like, say you were on GB and backed up some apps. Then flashed ICS, then JB, and then restored apps?

Nope, all backed up from previous JB ROMs. :\
Do you know any apps that can test the cpu/ram to see if it is going wonky? I looked but only found one that doesn't support the Infuse.

Use cpu spy.
It will tell exactly what the cpu uses and if it's going into deep sleep (very important).
I'm thinking there is an app that's preventing the phone from going into deep sleep
