I'll be the first to admit it - I'm a flash-whore... some days I'll flash 2-3 ROMS, then try various kernels, then restore my nandroid when I'm done for the day.
Some weeks I flash ROMs daily, some I flash a couple of times.
Can I damage my device if I keep this up?
I think there's some theoretical limit to the number of r/w cycles on this kind of memory, but I've never heard of anyone who's actually exceeded that limit.
..
Good. That set my mind at ease.
Thanks for both the question and the answer. Never knew how to ask the question....puts me at ease too!!!

ive flashed my ns thousands of times, roms and kernels, and im still flashing..
thanks for the info!
great question
I have been flashing roms like a madman too. I guess I flash more kernels everyday. At the moment, I don;t think that this will happen, but in the long run , yes.. there might be some problems. Perhaps you should slow down when flashing a rom. This might give the rom a few days to get back to normal before you do a full wipe again.

Your statement makes no sense. Allowing a few days for the "rom to get back to normal" has nothing to do with flashing.

With respect to flashing.. As others stated, there's a theoretical limit of writes as with any flash memory, but I've yet to seen it reached. As for a rom settling in..it's settled in a few minutes after a reboot from the first boot.

I understand as I am also a flash whore but I think we would have to be some super flash ho's before our phones breaks. In other words I may have been flashing at least 3 times a day, but you gotta flash much over what anybody would want like hundreds of times. Also if your looking for a good ROM look at my signature, it doesn't disappoint.

working on my forth year of flashing.. g1, og droid, nexus one, and nexus s. probably 5000+ flashes between them, not a single time did i have issues with the imei or a corrupted efs folder. truthfully, the og droid was only a wifi device for me since im on tmobile not verizon, so we wont count it.

Hello. I recently purchased a SIII from eBay and got it activated today. The first time they booted it up at the Verizon store I noticed what I thought was an unlock icon towards the bottom of the screen (which I am no longer seeing).
Once the phone was activated it performed a system update to the latest OS release. Now that I have got the phone home it keeps randomly rebooting and then it will get stuck in a boot loop. I pull the battery, it will boot as normal, and then it will randomly reboot again. I have performed a factory reset/data wipe but that did not help.
I did search a bit on here but didn't see anything similar to what I'm experiencing. Any ideas on what my issue is? Thanks in advance for your help.
My GS3 randomly reboots too, I am running SynergyROM with ziggys kernel, seems like a lot of people have problems with this phone.

Have to agree. Sure there might be a couple people that have had problems, but the overwhelming majority of people are quite pleased with their handsets.
Sounds like the phone was rooted. If it had a custom rom and you took the ota verizon update, that could cause problems.
Edit. Wrong link.

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. I followed step #6 from the link you provided and the phone has been up for over an hour without rebooting. So far so good!
Well I spoke to soon. It just rebooted again. I'm starting to think that it must be hardware issue. I guess I should go back to the seller to see if they'll take the phone back..... :-/
I just loaded the latest OTA and it seemed to make the random reboots more frequent.
When you say "loaded" are you just flashing a stock ROM or did you Odin back to stock?

I did the ODIN back to stock (using the ROM that was in step #6 of the above link). After that booted the phone up and it indicated there was an OTA available. I downloaded that (about 30 Mb); performed the update; and then the phone seemed to start the random reboots more frequently.

I didn't mean that everybody has problems when I said a lot and maybe it isn't "a lot" but I have seen numerous people posting on here about there problems whether its random reboots or screen flashing/flickering or w/e it may be and not just here I know a few people with this phone (my wife, father, brother, mother in law, and myself.) And I have had 2 problems with this phone, random reboots and WiFi never wants to connect and my wife has the sim card issue, my dads phone has problems with screen and WiFi, idk what the deal is. That's 3 phones out of 5 that has problems and idk if the sim card issue even counts but still.
I'm not saying this is a bad phone or anything, other than these issues it has been a great phone the best phone I have ever owned.

I am attempting to flash beanstalk 4.4.2 onto my HOX, but once I got it flashed and booted up, the systemui kept crashing. Tried to reboot and it was still doing the same thing.
Using the latest build from Phoenixita's beanstalk rom post. Is there anything specific I should do prior to flashing? Besides doing a wipe before the flash.
Is there a reason you didn't ask this in the Beanstalk thread instead of creating a new thread? As long as you've done a full wipe and flashed the correct gapps for the ROM this shouldn't happen.

I've been able to get a stable behaviour using the Torched Kernel.
However, i've been getting a constant error. " Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone hs stopped."
I've done a clean wipe and reload, i've tried stock and multi kernel, i've fix permissions.
I've noticed that after i've fixed the permissions it would take 5 Calls (inbound or outbound) then give me the error and i loose my service.
Is there any fix for this issue?

Haptic level
Hi, I just upgraded to the 4.4 SCH i535 miui rom and can't find the option to decrease vibration strength for haptic. It used to be in the settings under advanced, but it's not there anymore, only the option to turn it on or off via sound menu. Is there another way to do this, or a WSM module? I've looked everywhere and can't find anything on this particular rom. Thanks!

Not sure if this works in MIUI as I haven't ran this in a couple weeks. It was a nice rom though, I always did like MIUI especially the specialty MIUI built in apps..
Anyway, Device Control I'm 90 percent certain lets you adjust haptic feedback. I usually set mine to around 10 percent. The test button never works for me but when you hit okay, you can feel the difference.. There's a ton of other cool settings in there too. And it's free.
Also, if you use the KToonz Kernel, the KTweaker app also has the option somewhere in there to adjust the haptic feedback.
Hope this helps I know I may be late to the table, but maybe someone can make use of this information.

Corrupt KT747 Kernel
Greetings all. I was directed to this thread by the developer. So heres my issue:
I'm on SGS3 vzw. I installed MIUI 4.8.22 using TWRP (newest version). I cleared delvik, cache, factory reset thrice, flashed MIUI, then flashed gapps, then I flashed the cdma fix (I assumed that I needed it). I am unable to start a Xiomi cloud account and when I tried to flash the KT aosp 4.4.4 kernel, I got a "file corrupted" message. Is there an updated KT747 somewhere, or am I trying to install the wrong kernel or what? I would appreciate any help on the matter....BTW.....I really like the look of MIUI. I may keep it!
What Baseband to use?
I have a verizon SCH-I535 currently using VRUCML1 Baseband, running Android 4.4.4 and the phone is unlocked. Is there a newer baseband for this phone or should I continue using the currrent baseband? I haven't really found any topics that answer my question.
Thank You

I am new to rooting and flashing custom ROMS. I have an AT&T Galaxy S6 and I want to know what's the cleanest and most stable way I can root this device and install a custom ROM? I have been having issues since I received an over the air update from AT&T, and even when I reboot my phone to factory settings that update still gets pushed through. So my choice now is get a new phone or try a custom ROM and see if that helps.

Due respect, aren't we here to help?
Instead of saying it that way, why don't you guide him through, everyone needed help at the beginning, and you are not an exception.
I have been using the ROM someone linked above (xtrestolite 3.3.1) since I got the phone used several months ago. It's been nearly flawless, almost no lag at all, battery life much better than stock. I tried a couple other roms and had issues almost immediately so I went back to this. I'm sticking with it until after custom roms based on the nougat update come out, so several more months likely.
You can use alexis rom it's very good.with pretty handy feature s like clock position in status bar,network speed indicator,touchwiz launcher gestures etc..

Indeed, you're right in every word you said but to be honest, I was going to message him to help him but something disturbed me and I forgot about the whole case. Apparently, everyday users post something like that, asking for the "best ROM and kernel", I just got tired seeing those posts, in fact, it's the first time I reply to this kind of post. With all my respect, thanks for clarifying your point and opinion.
