My tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wifi) keeps rebooting randomly. I'm running CM 10.1.0-RC5, and I've had the same problem with RC2, RC3, and RC4. I'll just be using my tablet, happy as a clam, when *BAM* I'm looking at the Cyanogen startup animation. This seems to happen randomly; sometimes every few minutes, sometimes every few hours. Always several times a day. Memory doesn't seem to be an issue; it looked like I had roughly 50% free during one reboot (I was looking at the "Running Applications" screen in "Settings" when it rebooted).
Anybody else having this problem? Any possible solution? I love CM and don't want to start from scratch with the stock ROM again, but these reboots are driving me NUTS!

try reinstalling this rom!
before installing zip from sd
do
clear data/factory reset
clear cache
go to advanced>wipr dalvic
flash the rom
again wipe dalvic cache.
after the rom starts, let it be as it is for 5 minutes. the rom needs som time to get stable, this avoides many FC's.

Have you done any undervolting or anything? That can cause this.
If not you may try doing a full wipe and reinstall of the ROM. Clearly you've got something borked up that an update flash isn't fixing. A full wipe may solve your problem. It's a pain in the rump, but sometimes you have to do that.

It started for me when I upgraded from CM10.1 M3 to CM10.1RC3 i think it was. I have tried upgrading to Rc4 and RC5 also but same problem with the rebooting.
I also tried to go back to M3 but it was also just rebooting randomly.
Before I upgraded to RC3, I never had a problem with the tablet.
Problem Fixed...Hopefully

I tried this last night, and thus far, I haven't had any more problems. I've been running it hard, too; prior to the factory reset and reflash, it would have rebooted several times by now. Here's hoping.
I have a theory as to what caused my problems. Looking at the original CM zip that I used, I realized that it was a nightly build rather than a stable Release Candidate. Perhaps my problem was building on a non-stable foundation? At any rate, I flashed CM 10.1.0-RC5 last night, and it's working great.
To anyone else having this problem, remember to do a FULL CLEAR DATA/FACTORY RESET. Simply clearing the cache and flashing a new ROM wasn't enough. I recommend backing up your apps and settings with Titanium, then just going for the clean start.
Normal practice for rom flashing
It is in my, and many others experiences that a failsafe way to flash a ROM is as described below..
Note: this is assuming that you have already downloaded the rom you want and placed it on your sdcard/external-sdcard and that you have a custom recovery like clockworkmod or twrp...
Reboot into recovery
Make a backup of your current system
Tip: its always better to have a removable external_sdcard when doing any kind of root tasks but not needed
Now for the ROM..
1. go to mounts & storage and select it
2. Scroll down to the "format" section
3. Now select format system (and then yes)
4. Select format cache (and then yes)
5. Select format preload (and the yes)
6. Select format data (you get it)
If you don't have an external_sdcard don't format anything else and proceed to step 8
Now if you have a (removable) external_sdcard and you have placed the ROM and gapps on it, then you should;
7. Select format sdcard (the NOT REMOVABLE, internal sdcard space)
8. ***go back***
9. Install zip from sdcard/external_sdcard and proceed with your normal install procedure...
By doing the format methods before installing a new ROM, you're insuring that the ROM is writing to all freshly wiped partitions on your device and this will always be the most redundant way of making sure something did not get left over from your previous setup.
Most install.zips that the ROM is packed up in do perform the format of system, data, and cache during the install and usually it works fine but however, it is not always reliable.. By doing the few extra steps above, you will always know that the installation is a clean one and will greatly reduce problems like described above in this thread.. Why not just be sure?
---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------
If you have done a "FULL WIPE" like I described in the post above and your device is still randomly rebooting..
Then it is most likely due to something having to do with the kernel.
There are many reasons why it could be triggering the "panic" feature in android but the most common ones are;
Over clocking.. Either your devices processor CPU OR GPU, cannot handle being scaled up to the frequency that the ROM sets it at, or
Unstable... The kernel that came with the ROM you are installing is not yet stable enough for daily use and is in need of more debugging/development.

You had either an app or a setting that wasn't doing what it was supposed to. That is the only way a factory reset would fix it.
That also means the problem could have been fixed without the reset. You would have just had to isolate the error, which obviously is tough. Just keep that in mind if it happens again, immediately try to remember the last thing you changed, the last app that was updated, the last setting you altered, etc. Then maybe you can fix it faster without the hassle of the reset.
Glad its fixed!

Which kernel?
I'm very new to this kernel stuff, I got the hang of roms (I think) and I'm now using Cyanogenmod. I read somewhere it already includes it's own kernel, correct?
All roms come with a kernel as part of the install package. You can change to different kernels as well.
Right now for the t mobile phone i think there is just the stock cm kernel and albinoman887's kernel. The aokp roms probably have some other kernel tweaks in their stock kernels

I have just recently begun modding my G2x. I can install ROMs without any problems but I've since been interested in flashing a custom kernel. Information is sort of everywhere and what I do manage to find I am worried about it being out-of-date. Anyway, I flashed cm7.1 (the stable release) and it worked fine until it started fc-ing everything google related (something to do with sync?). I decided to try flashing kernels (wiping caches as instructed) and could never get one to work. I've since flashed the latest cm nightly (201 I think) and tried trinity with it. Still nothing. I've since read that I should let the phone sit for 10-20 minutes but after about 20 minutes it is just a black screen and nothing ever happens. It does get really hot however. Anyway I have tried flashing kernels multiple times and nothing has ever worked, same story every time. Any way somebody could tell me what I'm doing wrong? Tell me what's compatible (as maybe sorta stable) with the ROMs I'm using? HAHA and if it's not asking too much...maybe some links too? Sorry, just very new to this and very eager to learn. I just have a bit of trouble figuring out what's supposed to be compatible and where to find it. THANKS!
Start over fresh, wipe data x 2, wipe system x 2, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash cm7 nightly, dont reboot yet, wipe cache ONLY, wipe dalvik cache ONLY, flash kernel try faux123 (make sure kernel is for cm7) latest or morfic latest, reboot, enjoy ....

Thanks will give it a shot in the morning. Too much of a headache all day. Back in a useable state and I want to keep it that way for a bit haha. Will post results.
I still haven't tried to flash a new kernel... that is coming in a bit. I do have a question though... I'm interested in getting my phone in the cleanest state possible before doing anything further. I basically want my external sd cleaned up (I want to just reformat it) before flashing a rom again. What files/directories are absolutely essential to keep? As I said, I want to just wipe it clean but I'm not sure I can do that.

I have transformer tf101 (Honeycomb 3.2.1 + 16GB + Dock) that I purchased in August 2011. For first 6 months I was on stock ROM and everything was working fine. After that I flashed Android Revolution HD 2.2.0 on my tablet and then it started behaving crazily . Whenever I open browser it will automatically start zooming in/out, scrolling. It will totally go haywire and will start clicking left/right.
I searched on net and found that some of other unlucky guys are facing the same issue . I have attached a .txt file that contains the link to you tube video depicting the problem.
I have tried many ways such as using superwipe script and then reinstalling the ROM's. Even, I have tried with new ROMS(ICS one's) that are there but still the problem does not seem to go away. I have searched a lot but could not find the solution to this issue. Can somebody please guide me how to get rid of this problem. I believe this is the best android forum where I am hoping that someone will help me with this problem.
This is really basic but have you tried cleaning the screen?
Other then that, have you tried going back to a HC rom and see if you don't have any issues. I understand you want the latest and greatest version rom but to determine a fix and narrow down the problem maybe you should try all the alternatives.
Thanks for replying. I had cleaned up my screen and there was not a single app/widget on my homescreens. I flashed back to HC ROM but still the problem persist . I have tried all ways of flashing th ROM's but still the problem doesn't seem to go away. I have not tried the stock ROM for HC that came with my tablet (i didn't take the backup when I flashed new ROM).
Looking at the issue it seems to me as if this problem is software related rather than the hardware.If this would have been hardware related then I should have got this on day1 of my purchase.

And dont forget to wash your hands (Im serious, that actually affects the responsiveness of the screen)
I cleaned my screen (Literally ). The problem is still there . Can it be because of the browser. I am currently using Dolphin HD browser for my browsing. I will probably install stock browser and will check with it.
Your text file is rubbish too...no link, it's actually the HTML code for an error 404..which is funny.......not only is it not a working link, or even a link at all, it's a 404 in HTML..LMAO
Sorry for the bad attachment. I have the link.doc containing the link.
Yesterday, I tried with the stock ROM and everything was working fine till the point I connected my tablet to Wifi and upgraded my Google Market to Play store. As soon as the app was updated the same problem started recurring. Now I have uninstalled the updates for google play store but the problem is still there. But the good part is that the frequency of the random zooming/clicking has decreased and it happens in browser only. Earlier it was happening in all the apps. Can somebody please direct me to the link to US stock ROM (for HC 3.2.1). As of now I am running WW_ stock rom. I just want to try out the same with US_ stock ROM as well.
First of all, don't use super wipe script. Just wipe normally with CWM.
Do these options in CWM
1. factory reset/wipe data
2. clear cache partition
3. wipe dalvik cache
4. mounts and storage -> format /system
5. mounts and storage -> format /data (this is done by factory reset but just to be sure)
Get the official ICS rom from Asus' website. US or WW doesn't matter.
Flash it with CWM after doing the wipe procedure above.
Don't let google sync or anything restore any kind of back up.
If the same problem happens again, you got a problem that requires RMA.
Honestly it already sounds like you need to RMA but you should make sure before wasting money and time on RMA.
I will try these steps today. I never did these 2 steps while flashing ROM's
1. clear cache partition
2. wipe dalvik cache
I am just curious to know as to how this problem started when it was not there till the point I flashed a custom ROM.
I have a big problem with RMA. I purchased my tablet in US and so it has North American Warranty. I am not residing in US. Thus for RMA, I have to ship my tablet back to US which will be expensive as well as an overhead . So I am planning of trying all the possible steps before I have to ask the Asus support in my native country. Please let me know if you know any stable version of Stock ROM. I read and found that some of the stock ROM's are having serious issues with Wifi/GPS etc.

i would first get on the newest version of recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16557195
it is touch based, but i just went into cwm and the regular method of volume and power keys work fine. AND you have to store the rom on the internal sd card in order to flash, it can't access the external card once you update.
and personally i'd wipe EVERYTHING like 3 times seems kinda of the standard.. i'm super ocd so i wipe it all 5 times before i flash.. might want to pick up an ASOP rom like
EOS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520764
or KANG:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542302
see how that works.. could always pick up the stock ASUS rom though
FYI: to flash those new EOS and KANG roms you NEED to be on that version of cwm i linked
I have tried with various ROM's that are there in Development section but the problem does not seem to go away. I will upgrade my CWM and will check with stock ROM first. Once this is done then I will go for other versions of ROM's.
Just a quick question, for flashing the stock ROM for ICS i.e 9.2.17, I have to download the firmware from ASUS website and then flash it normally the way we do for other ROM's ?

All this could have been caused by you never wiping cache and dalvik cache.
Yea, download the ICS firmware from Asus website. It will be in a zip. You extract it once. It will have another zip. That's the flashable zip.
You flash it in CWM like you would do for any other ROM.
Yes, I never wiped cache and dalvik cache.
I will check this today and will post my observations. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that this should solve the problem.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks horndroid for the lovely info...It worked.
I cleared the cache and dalvik cache and then I flashed the new revolution 3.2.0 (ICS) Rom and as of no complaints. I have been using the tablet continuously for last 3-4 hours and no issues as of now. I am hoping that it continues to work the way it is functioning right now. I am loving my transformer again . I will use it for few more hours and will update my observations. I am still keeping my fingers crossed.
Moreover, Revolution 3.2.0 is awesome(Thanks to Mike and his team). Very stable and the GPS is awesome. Sitting in my room it acquired my position(No Wifi) within seconds.

Yes. This is worth pointing out again and again.
Most roms (in my experience) wont even boot unless you wipe cache and dalvik.
And the roms that do boot runs like ****.
Now I have used my tablet for 16 hours..No issues..Running perfectly fine. I believe wiping cache has solved the issue.
I was reading about dalvik cache and came to know that during boot Android always create this cache (if it is not there). So if this problem comes again, can I wipe the cache and dalvik cache without flashing a new ROM. Is this advisable?
Beginning 4 or 5 days ago, the CM nightlies have become absolutely unusable on my phone. Even after a full clean flash (wipe system/data/cache/dalvik), the first boot will yield multiple force closes, usually including SystemUI and com.android.phone. After a couple reboots these will stop for the most part, but flashing gapps prompts a whole slew of new FCs (pretty much every gapp crashes, along with the accounts manager).
TouchWiz roms, older CM nightlies, and AOKP build 2 all run fine. But I simply cannot get CM to work.
Any ideas?

I have had no issues at all running the CM10 nightlies, works like a champ for me. If you find out what is going on please let us know!
Still having this problem on a clean flash of the 10-04 nightly. Email, gapps, setup wizard, talk, and Play store all chain force close on the first boot.
Your forgetting to format your system in cwm mounts/storage. That's a true clean install. Double check your md5 and try again doing all you did+format system.

What I would do if I were you....
Odin all the way back to stock
Re-root
Re-unlock bootloader
flash cwm
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
FORMAT /system <- under mounts
rewipe
install newest cm10
install newest gapps
boot
Odin'ing back and formatting will help wipe out any remnants you may have derp'd along the line somewhere
You should have no issue with these steps. It put me rock solid every single time (along with many many others). Report back and let us know.
Hi all. I've had an issue for a few weeks now. I have apps that are constanly locking up and force closing on my phone. I'm currently running Jelly Beans 11 with a rooted and unlocked GS3.
All different apps force close: gmail, play store, kik messenger, system processes. It seems it's not centralized to gapps for instance.
I've installed Beans 5, 6, 8, 9 once. 10 about 2 times, and version 11 i think 3 times. Each time I do a delvik cache wipe, a cache wipe, and a factory reset via CWM. Some times even the initial setup wizard will lock up after first boot.
I've tried flashing different modems as well, and i'm currently on the newest verizon one, the K3.
If anyone has any information on how to fix this it would be much appreciated. Even a full phone wipe or something... I'm going to try clean rom and CM 4.2 tonight.
In a seperate issue, that may or may not be related:
I'm currently in iraq and i'm using the world phone exploit to get cell service and data here in Baghdad. It used to work great, but now the data connection will be connected, but no data will upload or download for long periods of time. For example i could send a kik message while connected to EDGE network, but it might take an hour for it to actually send. It didn't used to do this...
All things considered i'm wondering if I actually physically damaged the phone somehow...
If I haven't provided enough information, please let me know and i'll be happy to reply.
Ok, i tried CM 4.2 and there weren't any lockups. But i couldn't keep the rom, doesn't seem to be any way to get cell service. it won't let me change the band to global.
Going to try clean rom now.
Clean rom works fine as well...
So why would Jelly Beans ROM, that's worked fine for quite a while for me, through various versions of ICS and JB, to suddenly cause apps to force close and general instability?
I've checked MD5's and they're correct...
I think i still need a few more posts before i can post in the dev section as well.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
Have you tried fixing permissions?
Here's how I flash a rom:
Wipe data/ factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvic
Format system
Flash rom
Boot the phone, wait 5 min and then wipe cache and dalvic again. I then fix permissions and then boot the phone and profit.

gapps was the term that the phone said when it crashed. But no i'm not flashing the gapps, they're included on most of the roms like Jelly Beans 11. I've had a few different gapps force close, like the store and gmail. but i've also had the system ui and kik force close.
Sorry man, it's beyond my knowledge. Never had a bunch of apps stop working that fixing permissions or a clean install didn't fix.

How did Beans build 10 work for you, was that running fine? There are only two things I could suggest since you've tested normal suggestions already:
1) Beans removed a few files from System/Bin on Build 11, these are all included in Build 10. Maybe your phone needs those in order to work properly:
gsiff_daemon
mpdecision
qosmgr
smdexe
This is why I ask was Build 10 working fine for you? If so, maybe pulling these files from the Build 10 zip then putting them into System/Bin, setting permissions as rw r- r-, and rebooting could help. Or it could not.
2) Try flashing with TWRP recovery and see if the FC issue pops up.

Well I think 10 was when the issue started but i'm not sure anymore. I've flashed so many versions in the past week, from 5 to 11 that i've forgotten. I'll see if I can't do that though and see what happens.
should I do a factory reset? i mean is there an equivelant to formating a hard drive and reinstalling windows that i can do on an android?

To be consistent, its best to clean flash (factory reset/dalvik/cache) build 10 just to see if it works fine.
The equivalent to a Windows reinstall would be using Odin to flash a stock image. Using Odin, you would reset your phone back to fresh out of the box, bloated Verizon OTA. I feel that's unnecessary though cuz you flashed CleanRom and had no issues. If you flash another TW JB rom and have no issues, then it's more telling. As of now, something specific in Beans Build 11 (we'll verify b10 soon) is causing issues for you. Are you restoring any apps with Titanium Backup or restoring text messages using another app?
Edit: to detail a little more about the Odin route. After flashing the stock image, then you would need to root, unlock, install a custom recovery all over again and THEN flash Beans build 11. Idk if you want to do all that, esp if you haven't confirmed if this is something that's been happening with prior builds or with other roms.

I just did a fresh install of 10, including cache, delvik, factory reset, system partition, and after first boot i went back and fixed permissions. I'm still getting force closes. media service, google play, etc. I don't have many apps on it yet to see what else will force close since i'm not using titanium backup to restore anything. Everything is fresh and coming from the play store...
I should be hitting 10 posts soon so i'll be able to try and post in the beans thread, or the dev section. But any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
I also seem to be getting a lot of "invalid file" and "file couldn't be downloaded" when i try to install apps from the store. Not sure what this means
Beans 12 came out today and I tried installing that and i'm getting the same issue.
Tomorrow i'm going to do a full wipe to stock verizon image. and go through the unlock and root motions unless someone has any more ideas.
Thank you for the help so far, i appreciate it.
I did a complete stock OTA flash last night to verizon's jelly bean, and went through the root and unlock process again. flashed beans 12, and i'm still getting the same error.
I'm on beans 6 right now and it's working great. Going to try changing a few settings in 12 to see if it works and then maybe see if 10 works.
Guys, I'm running Purity room with Franco kernel and PA GAPPS. I've had this problem recently, where my room is running perfectly. But when ever I do a factory reset through CWM 6.0.4.5 and reboot, the error "phone had stopped" pops up and all I can do is long press the power button to reboot into recovery and restore a backup.
Any ideas guys?

I would suggest redownloading purity and Gapps and franco kernel (You just never know). Flash them individually and boot into the phone and see which one is causing you problems; after a factory reset with wiping cache/ dalvik. If this does not work try a different ROM (I always keep a stock rooted/deodexed on my phone), if it still persist I would do a full wipe start over from scratch.

Thanks for the reply, however, Ive already done the following:
1- Wipe Data/Factory reset > Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
2- Wipe Data/Factory reset > Install Purity (with/without GAPPS) > Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
3- Wipe Data/Factory reset > Install Puroty (with/without Franco kernel) > Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
4- Wipe Data/Factory reset > Installed other ROM> Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
5- Wipe Dialler/SIM toolkit > Wipe Data/Factory reset > Reboot: "Phone has stopped" Error
Cache/Dalvik Cache cleared every time.
The old backup still works, I even dirty flashed the new Purity version over it and works ok. The problem only arises after Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
Couldn't find any other solutions, any other suggestions?
Well I would say that if it works after your backup and then dirtyflashing a newer version of purity then leave it go, this is probably not the best option but if it works.... My other option in my previous post was to completely wipe the phone and start over as in back to stock and start over.
Something could've corrupted, who knows, maybe something went wrong with your installation of a bootloader. You said you are running CWM 6.x.x.x, try flashing the stock bootloader and then reflashing a different bootloader I suggest TWRP but there are other options. I used CWM on my nexus and it did it's purpose but when I flashed TWRP onto my nexus 5 it was just more clean and it had touch, go figure.
I'd try using Titanum Backup and clearing the data of the phone, dialer storage, etc after the reset. Had a similar situation the other day that doing that resolved. Hope that helps. Problems like this can be annoying.
Just thought of this: Could be your recovery. Might not be wiping things correctly. If what I suggested doesn't help, then try TWRP. I've found very few things that TWRP is not better at vs CWM (on officially supported phones).
OK try to install cyanogen mode and let me know what happened

CM is usually the go to to try something else because A) It's usually the most stable of aftermarket Roms due to the larger community and user support B) been around the longest / out for the most phones so is more well known C) it's different than AOSP so if you have issues with AOSP AND CM then you know something is really going on. That being said, CM is boring and plain to me. I appreciate that they are a good base to work off of but just by itself - yawn.
There have been a time or 2 that something would not flash through TWRP or CWM is recommended by the dev, though this is few and far between on this phone. I mod phones all the time (have done over 100 different ones) and sometimes things just work better on one than the other for various reasons.

The problem im facing doesnt seem to be related to stability .... can try twrp though to make sure there isnt a problem with flashing or resetting through CWM.... Should I directly install TWRP over CWM or should I first reset my phone with stock and then root again before installing TWRP?

The stability idea was referring to the other poster's confusion over why someone suggested trying CM in the first place.
You can install TWRP over CWM with no issues. I typically just fastboot the recovery image, though if you aren't comfortable with that, then install the app GooManager and installing the OpenRecovery script in there will do the trick for you. No reason to go all the way back to stock at all for that. If I had a $1 for every time I had issues because of some file / recovery /formatting incompatibility, then I'd probably be able to take my wife out to a fancy dinner. Heh (I work on a lot of phones, it's my job. ) If you need help with either method, feel free to hit me up on Hangouts or make sure to post quote me because otherwise I'll forget to check back on the thread. Good luck.

Ah, that sucks man. Ok, well, next things to try include:
Wipe cache + dalvik
Go to Advanced / Fix Permissions
Reboot
Do you have a PIN on your SIM card? I was reading through the Purity thread and some were saying they had your problem and disabling that resolved.

It looks like at this point, it's time to try another rom or update the Purity one. That, or maybe try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526844
Dw about it. Fixed it. Apparently there was a problem with the com.android.phone/telephony. UnInstalled them, and then factory reset my phone. Then installed the Rom again. All well thanks for you help bro.
