what have i done wrong here? my ics rom is fine (though the already posted lack of S/W mode and root) i have wifi and calls but no 3g?
my baseband (which is where i suspect the problem is) states OMAP4430/XMM6260
Do a factory reset!
First make a backup.
Turn off phone.
Press volume down and power and keep both pressed untill asked for factory reset. Confirm 2 times and after reset data/3g etc works.
Off course you will have to reinstall your apps, etc!
hope you're right, factory reset now underway
you were spot on, thanks.

I am having a very annoying problem with my Rogers I727R S2 phone on ICS stock.
The problem started to increase in frequency to become a real pain.
My phone would suddenly freeze and stop responding to screen touches for a bit, sometimes as long as 2 minutes, before bouncing back. When it comes back, it initializes as if it is restarting, so I would feel a vibration, lose all open applications and see icons start appearing on notification bar one by one. The media scanner would start working and software installed on SD card start appearing.
The problem happens spontaneously and out of the blue. It was occurring at less intensity on gingerbread before upgrading to ICS. After upgrading, it was not that frequent until only recently.
I noticed the problem goes away when I remove the SD card or when I am on flight mode with no Wi-Fi. I changed the SD card but this did not help. Connecting from home or work does not differ, so a problem with Wi-Fi would be ruled out. I once had a problem with home Wi-Fi when somehow the router’s DNS was not resolving, when this problem of mine was at its prime, and my phone was rendered unusable as it only takes couple of minutes before acting up.
I spent quite long time searching for an answer and so far no luck
I just placed a video illustration of the problem, and hope to get feedback on even where to head.

Try a different launcher.
the only way to troubleshoot is to start from scratch, read my 2nd link in my sig to restore to stock ics, reset within the recovery when odin finishes flashing, also keep out your sdcard out just to make sure your sdcard or its slot is not the problem. if still having probs its hardware failure, should still be under warranty

I went through your instructions restoring to stock ICS (which did not wipe my data as I thought it would). This did not help though, and the problem persisted. After that I decided to a hard factory reset. This appears to have done the job and my phone was working very smoothly.
Because my phone is rooted, I restored to the buggy stock again using CWM in hope to be able to figure out how to my migrate my purchased software, data and settings after hard reset. I wonder if there is a way to preserve important files even with replacing systems. I want to hard reset again but I keep my important information

after restoring stock perform a reset in the recovery, if old data is still there after reset its a hw defect in the nand
edit: reread your post so nm what i just posted, use titu or other backup software
So one day, my Nexus S randomly decided not to have a data connection with my carrier (Wind Mobile) anymore.
Wifi works, mobile data does not.
Steps I did to try and fix this:
1) make sure APN address is correct, which it is.
2) turn airplane mode on and off
3) toggle carrier connection on and off
4) factory wipe phone and reinstall ROM (slimkat)
5) factory wipe phone and install a different ROM (AOSP)
6) flash new radio (KB3 and KB1)
Other things I tried:
1) tried my SIM card with another phone (Blackberry Curve), data connection seems to work fine on that phone.
2) Called Wind Mobile and asked them to reset their towers to my phone... all they did was remove the Blackberry security thingy
that I had with them when I was still using a Blackberry. Rebooted my Nexus S, tried again... still no data.
So... I'm at my wit's end, and I have no clue how to fix this. Any ideas? I've found a couple similar threads for this problem... non of which had a solution to mine.
I remembered I made a backup nandroid a little while ago... and I restored it.
Voila, everything works again. But as soon as I tried reflashing to my preferred ROM (Slimkat), the problems started up again.
I also forgot to add that before I started encountering problems, my phone froze and I had reset by doing a battery pull because it wouldn't respond to any key presses. I'm guessing it corrupted something, though I'm not sure what. I've diagnosed that this is not a hardware issue, and that it's purely software... I'm not sure why the problem comes back when I reflash to another ROM. I'll keep you guys posted.
One other thing worth noting is that when I have Slimkat installed, it doesn't seem to read off my SIM card properly.
The APN doesn't get named "Wind DATA" like it usually does when I install a different ROM on there; it just gets named "Internet".
Hi everyone,
My device hard reset itself without any reason. I was walking outside and listened to a podcast through headphones when suddenly sound stopped. When I pull the phone out of the pocket I saw recovery screen “Low-level factory reset” and after a while, everything I had had on the phone before was just gone. I don’t remember that any other piece of human engineering made me so upset.
So, I didn’t touch my phone and it was offline (data disabled and no wifi around). It had MHA-L29C567B167 firmware and was rooted by this guide and then TWRP was replaced by the standard recovery (which probably made this hard reset possible). I haven’t done anything system related with the phone during last several weeks.
Did anyone else have the same problem? Do you have any ideas why the phone did it?
I had the same reset, when backup password on lockscreen (normally fingerprint) was filled in wrongly about nine times in succession.
Rogue app running as root? *shrug*
So frustrating
I had the same issue sooooo many times... The only way I found to stop this is to remove the password... I do open apps and all whilst the phone in my pocket... But at least it doesn't factory reset!!!!
so it happens after you input incorrect passwords after x amount of times?
Yes. After nine or ten times a wrong password, it did the factory reset. It happened due to a connected Bluetooth keyboard that wasn't turned off with key pressed for a long time by accident.
To prevent this problem from happening again I left TWRP flashed to the recovery partition. Now if the system requests recovery to factory reset TWRP will just ignore it.
Also, I found out that having Microsoft Outlook installed makes the problem worse. It reduce the number of incorrect PIN enter attempts. E.g. despite the fact that it displays "You have 4 more attemps" the device tries to factory resset.
I have these hard reset on me 3 times over the last 7 months. And 2 of these times, were happened when I was oversea. All my data are gone after it reset, and what make it worst was that I was oversea, and the 1st restoration process asked for WIFI setup & connection. Common, you are a foreign land on roaming (even with data), they still insist you need a WIFI connection before the restoration can continue.... a very frustrated experience especially you are oversea, and it happened to me twice with the most recent case - 2 days ago.... So, how do I activate TWRP?
Hi,
I have my Honor 8 since January, it's FRD-L09 model. Recently I have updated to Oreo (FRD-L09C432B521) via HiSuite (of course did a factory reset after the update). The system works just fine except cellular data. More precisely, it's about turning it off. When I turn on the data there's a stable connection to LTE and everything is ok, but when I turn it off phone goes crazy. The device starts to heat up, all system apps (e.g. Settings, Contacts, Messages) are crashing. Sometimes there's also problem with touch - phone recognizes it just fine, but it doesn't respond, e.g. when I touch "back" or "home" button in the navbar there's an animation, but nothing happens. The phone also randomly resets. The only thing that helps is forced restart (holding the power button for more than 10 sec).
All this things happen ONLY AFTER turning off mobile data, so it basically comes to restarting my phone every time I turn off cellular data.
Did anyone have a similar problem? Is there any solution except rolling back to Nougat? Thanks in advance for your help, people

That's really strange, mine works perfectly even after Oreo without a factory reset. You should try another factory reset or a rollback to Nougat and then update to Oreo again (Maybe something went wrong when you update, but I'm not really sure).

Probably that's the only thing I can do since it looks like no one ever had such a weird problem Thanks for your time anyway, I'll try to do as you advice and write here if it helped.
Factory reset is mandatory, as far as I'm concerned, when doing a major update. Battery and general stability usually improves.

I did one after the update. Then the problem ocurred, so I did another (this time I wiped data & cache through recovery) as Kiruke adviced. Didn't help. The problem is present even when the device is clean. I also downloaded the last system version through eRecovery (unfortunately it seems in my country, Poland, Android 7 is no longer available because it downloaded B521), also didn't work. I tried resetting network settings, no luck. I contacted with Huawei support and it seems the only solution is to wait for some another update.

Have you tried to downgrade to some other version, going full stock and start the updating process over again?
Or even flash a OpenKirin ROM to see if the issue remains...?
Never came across this situation in all the devices and ROMs I've used.
Hi,
Posting this as I cant find anything online and not sure if anyone else has experienced this. The newest update (seemed like a minor one) has made my phone unusable after the restart.
It boots into OS same as always but displays blank screen after boot (can't tell if it's on cos oled). I know it's in OS because holding power button brings up the native android power menu. It as keeps constantly micro vibrating. Like when you're typing really fast or something. Not sure what the issue is, and haven't yet tried resetting to factory, but fixing isn't gonna be fun since OEM unlocking is disabled.
I'm trying to get some files off it somehow before I try anything else but can't seem to find a way in.
The ver. According to the power menu is: RKQ1.211119.001
You need to have OEM unlocking enabled in dev options for that tho don't you?
I turned it off a week or 2 ago as I thought I probably won't be unlocking the phone anytime soon, if at all.
Option only seems to be msmtool.
Have you tried going into recovery (I assume you are on stock recovery) and reset system settings? I believe this does a factory reset without wiping data. You might want to fact check that as I have seen the option but never used it, there is another option in there called erase everything which I would assume is a complete factory restore (as in new out of the box).
Yeah checked there, theres only one option unfortunately, seen vids where they have multiple but their ver is 2.0 whereas mine says 1.2. I intend to try that first but wanted to see if there was a way around incase that was a full reset + wipe internal storage. Tbf now that mention it, it's still possible internal storage is unaffected, which is what I want.

let us know how you go.
So, issue fixed with factory reset thru stock recovery (Wipe Data -> Wipe User Data), however has come with the downside of all data including internal storage being wiped. Everything seems to be working tho, and works after restart.
Well, that sucks. Hope you didn't lose anything you couldn't get back.
