Hey people!
I've had my Ace Plus for a while now, and there's one problem that's getting on my nerves. A year or so ago, I rooted the thing, and then accidentally updated the OS- causing it to be soft-bricked. I fixed that by following one of the many guides and reinstalling android, and it works perfectly now- except for the random moments where it reboots without warning, sometimes more than once per day, sometimes not for a week, when I'm using it, but also when it's just sitting there or on the charger. Especially the last is annoying, since it will not reboot but just show the battery status if charging.
Seeing that the problem started after I bricked it that first time, I don't think it's an app that's causing it. I've tried 'unbricking' it a few times (always following guides). I also tried underclocking it (no result) and I even tried running a logger overnight a few times, which also didn't manage to catch the reason for the reboot when it did happen.
I did repair my sister's bricked phone once by not only flashing the PDA file, but also the bootloader, csc, modem and pit file. Is that what I need to do with mine? If so, where do I find these?
I still see it as a fine phone, and even though I'm ready to go get a better one, I was wondering what else I could try to find out what is happening/stop it from happening.
Thanks in advance, even if it's just for reading!

hey guys i own my galaxy sl since the day it was started to sold here, in Turkey. and i never had any issues with any rom i used. i'm not really sure but i guess everything began when i started to use LF2 with BAM kernel. i just did what i always did, flashed XXKPE, and after that flashed LF2. and everything goes well. but when the phone starts and asks for my pin code - whopp - it suddenly reboots itself. i always thought that this is normal since it happened a lot to me.
but i realized that it wasn't just an ordinary reboot. after the reboot the phone starts just normally. everything seems to be working. i just download the apps i need from google play and - whooppp - again, the screen goes off. but this time it doesn't even reboot. just got a blank screen. and after a few seconds the phone shuts itself totally off. after pushing the power button it opens but after the shining Samsung logo it just shuts itself off again.
And another issue,
while using mobile data the first 30 seconds are normal. i just open my web browser, search for something and suddenly the data transfer stops and the web page is not opening anymore. after a few 30 seconds my signal gets lost. and again after a few seconds more the phone shuts itself off again.
you can't even imagine how annoying this is. i'm not able to do anything with my phone. and i don't want to buy a new phone until summer. i experienced this issues always on clean roms. i always used the pit file and always made careful flashings. and like i said i haven't had any issues since the beginning of last week. just wanted to know if anyone has some suggestions or anyone else is facing the same problems. thanks in advance that read all this stuff, even if you're not able to help me...
try flashing the previous rom which was working perfectly on ur sl.if u have a backup try restoring it.
thanks for your reply but like i said nothing has worked. anyways i the samsung customer service solved my problem. my battery was very very thick. i could say it was ready to blast. in my opinion i think the battery was having some disconnections with the phone or it was just totally damaged. but it doesn't matter anymore. the service just replaced the old damaged one with a new one. and now it's rock solid again.
Hello all, I have an HTC Arrive running LEAD's 7.8 8858 ROM. I've been running this rom since January with very little issues. However, within the last couple of weeks I have been noticing strange things going on with my phone. Some mornings I have woken up and left for work and notice my phone is almost dead, even though I remember plugging it in the night before. Also, as of this week, after a reboot of my phone, the Call button shows Home Service instead of Sprint, but eventually changes over to Sprint. At times I will go to use my phone and see it has put itself in Airplane mode or has a locked sim card logo displayed instead of signal bars. In this case I have to reconnect to the network to regain functionality.
Now as of last night my phone is constantly rebooting while charging. I plugged it in last night and kept hearing a buzz (I keep it on vibrate), looked at the phone and it would be booting up. It fully boots to the Start screen and I can go ahead and begin doing something, but no matter what I'm doing it just shuts completely off without even saying Goodbye (literally). It continues to do this until I unplug it, and it ONLY reboots when plugged in. I've tried a battery pull a couple of times but to no avail. Its getting very annoying because it takes much longer to actually charge, and I also don't imagine this is very good for the phone itself.
I was planning on flashing LEAD's latest release to see if it fixes it, but I'm not sure if the phone will react this way plugged into the PC as well. I haven't plugged in to the computer yet to find out, hopefully it won't do this, else I won't be able to flash it.
Any ideas or suggestions? Has anyone else had this issue?
well i plugged into the pc and it still reboots however, when in the tricolor bootloader it does not reboot! so with this discovery i now know that its a bug in the OS causing the reboots. also, because its not rebooting in the bootloader, i should be able to reflash without issues, correct?
as a side note, the phone got VERY hot last night while left in to charge, so i will just charge my wifes phone and swap the batteries so that i wont damage my phone.
no one else has reported this issue with this ROM as far as i can see, only random reboots.
Sorry to hear about all those problems. Have you tried the latest ROM after the 8858 release? I suspect there could be some sort of corruption in the OS. If you haven't, I recommend biting the bullet and just restoring the phone. I also recommend flashing the latest ROM, since it has the latest OS version. If the phone isn't having problem when in boot-loader mode (tri-color screen), you should be OK to flash it.

thanks for the reply lead! i am going to flash you latest release now. i am going to look for an alternative way to backup pictures outside of Zune and the PC, but i dont think any exist.
i will post back when its up and running.
i flashed the 8862 ROM and its been plugged in for about an hour with no reboots
plus, this ROM feels snappier than the 8858. an issue i used to have with IE, that is gone in this build is it would open Google every time i click the IE tile.
thanks for the help leadpoizon

No problem. Glad your issue is fixed now.
Ok so I am no longer having the charging or battery issues anymore, but now my Marketplace is basically broken. When I can manage to begin a download it immediately goes to Attention Required, and upon clicking i get error code 8000ffff. So no apps will install/download from Marketplace. Also, on almost every game and app, it says this app is not available for your device, even ones i used to use on 8858. Some i have even manually installed and they work fine. Also when trying to even view many of the games in the Marketplace, I get error 805a0194. So far I haven't managed to install anything from the Marketplace aside from the Bank of America app.
I have tried resyncing with Live, rebooting the phone, tried changing Marketplaces and settings with the Marketplace Config app. Nothing fixes it
Any suggestions?
No one?
I'm beginning to think 8862 is to blame. I keep getting service unavailable errors from MP, or everything is not available for my device. I don't want to hard reset, but it looks like this isn't going away on its own. :/

Sorry, I've moved on from this device, so I can't test anything now. I never had any issues like this on my device and I used it extensively for a long time after flashing that ROM.
First of all, If I am copying an already existing Post I am sorry for that but I think i found nothing similiar to my "weird" situation here.
Now to my problem (with a short intro tho) :
I had my OPO for a half year, when i decided to root it. When i did this, I was a total rookie, so I just followed steps/guides I've found in the Internet. I unlocked Bootloader, installed TWRP-Menu and finally rooted my device. Everything went totally perfect for me and my device was running smooth and without any problems. But after some dirty- and some clean- updates(always only the cyanogen updates that were showen on my phone), my OPO randomly shut down. Earlier on, I made a Backup. So i wiped calvik&cache and thought i lost all my problems. But in the last weeks, new problems occured. So i started looking for them in the Internet. I found out, that i had a "bootloop"/ Softbrick on my phone. It randomly shut down and it sometimes felt like especially the standby-mode made my phone to go offline. After solving this problem aswell via a "zip" from the Internet that I installed via TWRP, my device was again stable for like two weeks. But then after a Night I faced a new Problem, my Phone was again offline. It shut down without doing anything from my side. I saw all indications for a hardbrick. So i tried to "rescue" my phone via the xda-guide. And randomly after plugging it into my pc via the usb-connection it rebooted. But this just created the newest and maybe biggest problem.
Right now: My phone shuts down after beeing in standby-mode for like 5minutes. Neihter my LED is blinking or anything else is happening. It has no Bootloop but sometimes I am again scared of having a Hardbrick.
For me as normal User, who just wanted to get more privacy on his phone, these Problems exceed my knowledge and that's why I posted my Problem here in this forum, full with people who might know how to fix this problem or even be experts in rooting mobiles.
P.S: Please excuse my bad english at some points. Try to overlook it )

Let me clear few of your terms
Bootloop : Your device spins on CyanogenMod logo
Hard brick : Your device won't even boot into recovery and when you press power button(10-15sec), it'll vibrate just once
Softbrick : Same as bootloop, but you can boot into your custom recovery like TWRP
The solution to all your problems is to flash fastboot/factory images of Cyanogen OS 12.1 (Tutorial link in general section). Make sure that you backup your internal storage.
Flash them and use it for 2 days, if you continue to face issues, quote me here or somebody else will help you on this board
Might be a hardware issue

I've had a similar issue arise in my OPO around a month back. The phone used to randomly switch off. In most cases it didn't switch on for around 10-15 minutes. I installed different roms, cleared data/dalvik .... you name it, I did everything, but the issue still persisted. I came to the realisation that it had to be a hardware issue. Took it to a service centre, where they confirmed it was an issue with the motherboard ( although initially they just flashed cm11 and handed it to me). So basically, my phone is with the service centre for the past 5 days and is awaiting the new part.
What I'm saying is, get it to the service centre as quickly as possible, if you're nearing the end of your warranty and get it analysed and fixed. Wish your OPO a speedy recovery

Thanks for the Information,
I really appreciate your Help. Just one question, is the backup that I can create via TWRP enough or should i backup everything seperatly?
And @p403nix, Thanks for your tip !!! That's a nice information, the only Problem about that is, that in my Homecountry the Oneplus Support is very terrible. I am in contact with the customer support tho, but I don't expect too much
Hi guys,
I have my new phone bought on ebay (I forget the exact seller because was a friend of mine who bought it, i am overseas in Cuba) and from the beginning some icons are not painted correctly.
The thing has gotten worse since the phone restarts for no apparent reason and no matter what I am doing. Originally it came with the ZV8 software version , but i have permanently the notification for a downloaded update to install. So i do it and now i am with ZV9 version and has maintained the same problems.
I need any help you can give because i can't return the phone to US and here there is no official warranty service from LG that i can use.
Thank you and best regards.
I had a similar problem with my G Flex 2 after it updated to 5.11. It would randomly reboot and restart with optimizing apps almost every time. It did this at least twice a day. It would also have issues installing apps sometimes saying there was no storage available. When it did install apps sometimes they would crash when opening them. Eventually after resetting and erasing my device four times the issue went away. I read that sometimes this can be caused by a bad battery. See if your device stops crashing when it's plugged in. If it does it's probably the battery. If not try resetting it a few times in a row and see if the problem is still there.

Hi probaina, thanks for your answer!
By chance yesterday analyzing what happens I thought it could be a battery problem, because when reboots occurs and I watch the battery use log sometimes I find out that the percentage of battery drops for no reason. For that reason yesterday I left the battery ran out completely and then pluggin the phone on charge overnight in the hope that this would solve the problem. But today it has restarted twice already. I'll try what you say to keep the phone plugged in to see whether the problem occurs and I will keep you updated. Once again thank you for your time and response.
Best regards!
PS: Sorry about my english, is a work in progress!
My over 1 year old VZW Galaxy S6 has got serious issues. I think since the Marshmallow update (can't say for sure) it has been constantly freezing and rebooting itself. Sometimes once or twice a day, and sometimes several times a day. Today alone it has been very stressful for me. Due to the fact that I can't go more than 10 minutes of use without it freezing or rebooting. Which led me to seeking help on XDA. I've tried several solutions found online: clearing the cache (in touchwiz, and during bootup), using safe mode, deleting apps, and of course several hard and soft resets. I'm tapped out. If all else fails I'm going to put in an insurance claim and get another phone. But before that, can anyone provide me with any other solutions? I would greatly appreciate it.
