Hi Everyone -
First off, let me apologize in advance for asking this question as I imagine it has been asked dozens of times previously.
I recently installed a custom ROM (OmniROM 4.4 'KitKat') on my Galaxy Note 2. I backed everything up, rooted it, installed recovery, etc. and then installed the nightly build of the ROM at that time.
The ROM is currently undergoing heavy development/nightly builds and I'd like to update from time to time.
Here's my question: do I need to wipe the device completely every time to UPGRADE the same ROM to a newer build? installing the ROM is straightforward enough, it's reinstalling all the apps, reconnecting email, etc. that's a PITA if I were to do this several times per week.
Can someone let me know what the process is for upgrading? Or point me to a link!
Thanks a ton in advance!

Hi, I've updated ist daily in the last 5 days. I just checked for updates in the phone settings and the phone (GT.I9100G) does everything automatically. All my apps and data are still there after an update. Nothing was deleted.
My nexus 5 reboots on average every 15 minutes during use.
It runs android 4.4.2 stock not rooted. It freeze for 5 seconds and then it reboot.
I tried do the factory data reset, but it still randomly reboots.
I got some last_kmsg files and there are 3 different "last boot reason":
- kernel_panic View attachment kmsg.txt
- wdog_reset View attachment kmsg2.txt
- wdog_bite View attachment kmsg5.txt
Please help me, what should I do?
Thanks

so your device is completely stock and locked with no custom rom or kernel ever or currently applied?
your kmsg's all point to issues i've seen with users on a custom kernel. specifically a user on one version of android and a kernel on a different decimal version (i.e. 4.4.2 firmware and 4.4 kernel, etc).

Yes, I didn't installed any custom rom or anything.
Maybe it's an outdated kernel (Nov 20 1013)? View attachment 2516120
If it is outdated, please tell me how I can update it (I just recived my first Android phone, I'm quite a noob (now))
Thanks
Edit:
I just got a new reboot reason: Last boot reason: hw_reset View attachment kmsg8.txt
Should I root it and install Franco kernel? Will this stop the rebooting?
I have somewhat the same problem although my device doesn't reboot every 15 minutes but rather 2 times every day.
I have the same android and kernel version so I thought I'd bump this post.
I also am experiencing similar behavior. It reboots maybe twice a day. I was on CM11 and was getting frequent reboots suddenly one day. Tried the Franco kernel with no better results. I switched back to stock everything except TWRP, now they are fewer, but still annoying. Could it maybe be an app that we have in common? I did not experience these reboots when I first got the phone, nor for months with CM11, so it stands to reason that it is something that changed recently.
kernel_panic
My phone has never been rooted and it's running stock 4.4.2 with various apps installed.
I've had occasional random reboots and some were before the 4.4.2 update. I've been unable to work out why but if I had to guess, it would be that it's Wifi related. Previously, it's happened when the phone was on the table, apparently doing "nothing". Today it happened when I was clearing a notification.
The last reboot before today was twelve days ago and the "bugreport" contained no "boot_reason". The bugreport I generated after the reboot today, shows "bootreason=kernel_panic". Not really sure what that means so maybe someone can tell me? I'd really like to know whether this is a hardware or software issue.
I did ring Google support after the reboot twelve days ago. The support person suggested I run the phone is "safe mode" or reset it and run it for a few days without installing any apps to confirm that the cause is not an app that I've installed. I haven't done that because the phone isn't very useful without any apps installed. I told the Google support person that I'd generated a bugreport but he didn't know what I was talking about and had no idea where he could forward it to if I was to send it to him.
In contrast, I also have a Samsung Galaxy S3 that has rebooted itself once in 18 months so I'm not impressed with the Nexus. Not sure what to do, next.
Hey guys, I'm a pretty heavy tinkerer and I know that comes with some risk. But before I completely wipe and reflash everything I wanted to see if someone could help diagnose my problem.
I have a Nexus 5 and have been running MultiRom for a while. I currently have Paranoid Android and Android L dual booting. I was on the newest version of PA (4.6 BETA 1) but I just flashed back to a past backup so now I am on PA 4.4 (I think). I have been having random reboots for about a day and now I can't even get my phone to stay on longer than a few minutes. I just installed Xposed and a few Modules so I assumed those were giving me the trouble, but I uninstalled Xposed when I started having problems and that didn't help. Even my backed up ROM and my Android L won't work without rebooting. This leads me to believe its something deeper down than my ROM.
Before I clean off and reflash, is there any way I can diagnose or fix this issue?
Thanks a ton.
So I started having trouble with the Cyanogen I'd been running and decided to move on to a new rom since there are a lot more options available now. I'm running the t-mobile version moto g and am rooted and using CWM and all that jazz, but it seems like I can't get any roms to run on my phone, the only one I got working was the pac rom (ended up doing a recovery back to february from stock 4.3 with root access) I did a clean install with it, and each time it would start having issues of the buttons disappearing and jumping the screen size around (kind of like it was switching in and out of immersive mode every half a second) I tried it 3 times and made sure the settings for full screen were off and it would still start randomly doing that after about 15 minutes or so. On one of my factory resets (the only way I could get out of this jumping screen) I tried updating to 4.4 and ofcourse that failed, then I tried moving on to another rom cyanhacker and cyanogen 11 with aerokernal and both of these said they couldn't install over a corrupted something or another.
So basically what do I need to do? Am I going to have to go back to stock and then update to 4.4.4 and then re-root and a new image and all that jazz or is there any easier way of getting pac-rom on my phone from 4.3?
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
Hi, I've got some random reboots after upgrading on stock Lollipop 5.1 on my Nexus 5.
I've used Android 5.0.1 without any reboots or problem, but after upgrading on 5.1 I'm facing many random reboots when I switch from an app (like a game or Hangouts) using Recents or Home button from NavBar (it also happens randomly when I'm using my phone, like writing a message on Hangouts).
The reboots I'm talking about are not "soft" but "hard", because bootloader's logo (Google) appears and restarts my phone, so it is caused by Kernel Panic (as you'll see in my last_kmsg) and they occured on both stock and custom rom.
Here is a "last_kmsg" when it occured on stock Lollipop 5.1: http://pastebin.com/80dDgzae (attached too).

Flashed Android 5.0.1 and no random reboots (as I also said when i wrote my first post).
I don't know if the "question" is clear, but can you help me reading the "last_kmsg" which I attached in first post? Thanks
Same exact thing happening to me also.

The same is happening to me. And it looks like a hardware problem cuz when the phone reboots it keeping reboot until I keep pressing the power button while boots.
I have a bad experience about it. In my Nexus S when updates to Jelly Bean the same occurs until phone suddenly die. (I live in Brazil so, guess what? I have now a wonderful paper weight)
No luck with 5.1.1
You guys found any fix?
I was waiting for 5.1.1 update from Google (5.1.1 code is already available on AOSP and I tested it on Chroma), but unfortunately it didn't solve this problem: it keeps rebooting after a long daytime doing the same things I already wrote in first post. I'll wait for factory Google factory images, but I'm pretty sure it won't fix this.
P.S.: I tested Chroma on 5.0.2 bootloader and modem.
Anyone can read "last_kmg" I posted in first post? Any other has the same trouble?

Try another (custom) kernel.

I just flashed ElementalX kernel but no luck, random reboot happened on 5.1.1 too. By the way it was quite obvious because it happened already on 5.1 Google's factory image (stock kernel so)..
I have exactly the same issue with nexus 5 since upgrading to 5.1.0.
I went back to 5.0.1, which solved it for a few days, but now this happens with 5.0.1 as well.
also, before random reboots happen, the power button becomes extra sensitive, so one keypress causes the screen to turn on and off again, or to display the shutdown menu.
this does not happen when the phone is stable.
Hey guys i have the exactly same problem since i upgraded to 5.1.1 i am non-rooted please need help

Same here.
LG Nexus 5 - Lollipop 5.1.1 LMY48B
Unlocked bootloader;
Rooted;
ClockWorkmod 6.0.4.5 (not flashed - just boot on image when used);
Wipe factory reset (in cwm). Flashed 5.1.1 image files (boot, radio, bootloader, system and cache).
Random reboots, and sometimes with apps optimizing.
I have the same problem with N5 since upgrading to 5.1.1 - never had any problems before. Doing it several times an hour now. Trying a cache clean next, after I wait for the optimising apps to finish yet again!
Hi all,
I had the same problem. Everything stock, up to datę, no root. Phone was rebooting itself several times in a row.
Right now it seems that problem dissapeared. Reboots in my case was caused probably by application Autoguard Dash Cam Blackbox. After removal no reboots for 2 months and no memory leak.
cleared cache and it happened again within a minute...
Does seem to be linked to the power button
There's a long thread about this issue over at Google Groups. It's affecting a lot of users and not just Nexus 5 users. Some in the thread are 4 and 7 users having the same issue. Some have replaced the battery and it has resolved the issue, at least temporarily. Others, like myself, saw success in rooting and replacing the kernel or using a new ROM. Users who have downgraded to Kit Kat report the issue goes away, so despite the power button triggers, it seems to be a software issue. Anyone have any insight? It's getting feisty in Groups thread.

I have N5 kit kat 4.4.2 in Chrome watching videos randoms reboot its happens
This is happening to my fiance's N5. It happens when she's using it and also when it's not being used. When it reboots, it optimizes the apps and says the battery is at 0 when it was a full charge. Only way to turn it back on is to connect it to a charger. Frustrating.
FYI the update to 6.0 did not solve the restart problem. It's either hardware related, app related or a bug that's still in the OS.
I'm selling my Nexus because of this, has been happening for a few months now.
It's not software related, it has to do with the actual power button. Some people had success changing it out, soldering it etc., but I don't have that time or knowledge.
Google wouldn't help, as I'm out of warranty. So I guess it's goodbye Nexus. Really unfortunate given that the phone works fine, it's just a quality issue.. will have to re-evaluate buying another Nexus in the future.
