[Q] Root causing sleep of death?

Every time I root with blob v5, I get the sleep of death issue. When I go back to stock blob, everything works fine. Tried this twice and both times root caused sleep of death... any one else having this issue? Am I doing something wrong? A would love to have root, but not of it's causing sleep of death. Any help is appreciated. thanks

Are you using the most recent ASUS update?
The *only* change on the boot.img in the rooted blob is ro.secure=0..e.g., not way it can cause sleep of death.
If you on the other hand use V5 with older than v8.2.3.9, it's likely to cause issues (e.g. I know it causes issues with camera and bluetooth at the very least).
Also, which SKU are you on? E.g. US, WW, CN etc?

My wife's isn't rooted, and hers has done it once so far. Mine did it twice before rooting it, and never since rooting it (blob v5).

Mine hasn't done it and mine is rooted. Blob v5 btw.

I am on the most recent firmware, 8.2.3.9 US... I wonder if one of my root applications is causing the issue. I will reroot and see if it happens before i install apps. Thanks to all for the input.

Could it be some system apps run amok, causing high temperature on the transformer and system shut down?
Just a guess, i have had it few times with my nexus one.

WW Edition had this happen once without root. I do not think it is a rooting issue.

So I rerooted and installed my apps (including the root ones - Adfree, root file explorer, titanium backup). The sleep of death happened. I then tried MoDaCo's rom. The sleep of death happened again. I then tried Prime's Rom. So far I havent had a sleep of death.

What Rom are you using?

I updated to latest firmware on asus.com then used blob 5 to root. No problems since I rooted or before. Could some explain what the SOD is and what happens...just see people saying they have had it happen but no description.

It is exactly what it sounds like - the screen goes to sleep and the device never wakes up from it. You have to double long+press power button to power cycle the device fully.

If you are lucky, so am I.
I had two Eee pads updated to the ltest ASUS firmaware and then rooted B5 . Not a single glitch in 4 days.

Primes rom

I tried stock, Prime and MCR Hr 5, all of them give me SOD even without any additional application.
I have to play music or run pandora if I want to turn off the screen.

Strange problems with Galaxy r

Ok so it is like this:
I bought my galaxy r here in sweden 1 year and 3 months ago, it was working perfectly for around 1 year.
At the one year mark i started to have some problems with the touchscreen where the phone would feel a pressure in the middle of the screen, to get rid of this i simply locked and unlocked the phone or rubbed a bit with a cloth on the screen.
Recently when I saw there was a cm10.1 rom with nightlies I rooted my phone and later installed the cm10.1 rom. Now the most anoying thing. I have a problem with my battery where the phone just shuts down randomly (mostly when playing games) even though it sometimes have up too 80% battery remaining. Then when I restart the phone it usually have 0% battery left and therefore shuts itself down again, sometimes it restarts with just a 20-30% batteryloss. This have occured more often recently and it shuts itself of 3-4 times a day. I can't remember if it was like this when i was on stock, before I started to flash and root, but i think it was.
A few days ago i flashed stock ics from odin and I confirmed that both of these problems still were there, so i have hard to belive that it is the modding of the software that have caused this.
Do you guys have any suggestions to how i can be able to use my phone normally again?
Im just a poor student so i don't want to waste money on a new phone after just 1 year :/

It may be help you but first tell me, are you restoring data from titanium backup or something related to that..??
Also if you want to take backup then take it using Super backup application.

Nope, im not takeing backup of anything.
And one other thing i forgot to mention earlier, the phone now also thinks it is charging itself evrn when it is not. It think the usb cable is still connected.

I hope OP doesn't mind that I'm joining his thread, I'm experiencing the same problems on my gfs phone and don't know what to do.
I just installed the fresh CM 10.1 nightlies (did Cache/Data/Dalvik Wipe) and she is experiencing pretty much the same problems:
After 1 or 2 hours of unplugging the phone gets stuck and shuts down. After restarting the battery percentage is pretty low and the phone shuts down again (even if the battery says ~10%). The battery percentage then changes every restart, but is always between 0 and 20%. The phone is barely usable in this state :/
I couldn't wipe the SD card (.android_secure) because the swapped paths, could this be related?
Thank you in advance!

It shouldn't be happened. But if u are feeling so, just flash any stock GB using odin v1.87. Then just wipe all data and cache. Install cm10.1 over that using method 2.

I'm definitely going to try this, but as it seems now i think it is more about a faulty battery/hardware that software?
Or have these kind of problems been fixed software before?
One other thing, if i have rooted my device, does the root dissappear when i flash stockrom using odin?

May be hardware or software too..when you will vanish all data & cache then Software issue may be gone but if problem still persist, means you have hardware problem.
Also, root will be lost after flashing Stock ROM from ODIN.

I'm able to also confirm, that Procedure II didn't help the problem. I really doubt it is a hardware fault, because of us two having the exact same problem after flashing the same rom.
@Dippn: Do you know which nightly build you used? In my case it was the nightly build "20130405". Also could you check which baseband you are on? (Under About Phone -> Baseband Version) Over here we have i9103NEKI1
The only special thing we did I can think of is flashing a modem file (when we were still on the unofficial cm10.1 without these kind of problems, but massive battery drain), because there was a call problem going on for customers of the austrian provider 3 and CM10.1.
I could analyse the problem a bit more today: It seems as soon as the phone gets busy (for example from the browser loading pages or in DippN's case processing a game), the touch screen gets unresponsive and everything starts to lag and delay or freezes completely until it shuts down the phone. Could be either CPU or RAM related, I guess. I just wonder what caused this, even if the nightly had a faulty kernel, this should be fixed as soon as we flash another ROM, right?
I will be able to try a different ROM on monday. It would be great, if you could report, if the downgrade to GB helped the issue. I'd like to try a different baseband, if you are on the same right now too.
Greetings and thank you so much for trying to help us, vikesh!

Well, we are not on the same baseband. I'm on I9103XXLQ3.
About the cm verison im not quiet sure, the latest i flashed was "20130406" but since the problem were there the time before that when i flashed cm I cant answer exacly but i have a cm version "20130305" on my desktop and it could be that one that I used.
I never used cm before it was on nightlies so the modem file flashing i dont know anything about.
The thing you mention about that it shuts of when the phone gets busy and touchscreen gets unresponsive I can kind of confirm too.
I will flash GB now, will report back in an hour how it went.

Flashed GB using v1.85 and now I am stuck in bootloop, after 10 sec at the samsung logo it restarts and repeat. >.>
When the phone restarted after the flash and after it says "-updating application" it says:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/NEE/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
I have no idea what this means but could it mean anything?
EDIT: I got it to start by wipe cache and data. (thought i should do that when cwm was installed)
Unfortunately already in the startup options when u write wifi password the touchscreen became very unresponsive and when i after a few min had succeded writing the password the phone shut of when it tried to connect to it! :,(
I can also confirm that it still thinks it is charing when it is not becuase the symbol in the statusbar flicked from battery to charging symbol.
Is there anything else softwarerelated that I can do?

[Q] Random Reboots Since 4.4.3

Anyone else?

Fully stock? Do a factory reset from stock recovery.. Should fix it. If you're on a custom rom, do a clean flash. (wiping everything except data)
- Sent from an IceCold Hammerhead!

Thx for the advice.
But was wondering if anyone else is getting them.
I'm trying a few things to fix it as I never had a reboot since I owned the phone in November last year, until 4.4.3
At the moment I'm trying an older radio, but it's hard to pin since my last try of using a 4.4.2 kernel kept me up for 35 hours before it happened again.

got an rma replacement.. still happening

no, is completely fresh
tried everything under the sun over the last month.. factory image installs, running safe mode, no apps installed, new Google account... ect ect
can't stop a soft reboot occurring every 2 or 3 days.. I use to have 'up times' of over a month on 4.4

Upgrade to 4.4.4 and see if it sorts out?? You get random reboots even when the phone is in safe mode?

I'm assuming you're stock, unrooted??

still suffering from this
i have noticed that if location is not set to off, it's much better, where it can run for over a week at time
as soon as i turn location off, I'm lucky to get much over 30 hours before it soft reboots
going back to 4.4 it is completely stable as it always was

[Q] 4.4.3 and inital encryption problem [Solved]

Not really sure how it was solved but tried it one more time and it finally worked.
I am trying to use the Encrypt Phone on the new 4.4.3 and I start the steps to do the initial encrypting I enter my password then it should go into encryption but the only thing that happens is my phone reboots and never encrypts. Not to give a long story here but I have used encryption in 4.4.2 and had no issues, 4.4.3 was after a full reset and fresh image pushed to the phone. Any thoughts? I hate to attempt a reset again.
Thank you,
-G

It's been like that for a while as far as I know - as you found out, trying again worked.

Yea, I had not had this one before. I had tried it so many times until it just worked. I wish I knew what steps it was that solved it but of course it could have been totally random. One thing I have noticed that fully encrypted on 4.4.3 has no lag that I can see. On the previous release I had noticed a slight change.

Phone randomly shutting down

Hi, I've done some research through xda and other outside sources and haven't been able to find a solution or explanation for my issue. The problem that I am having is my phone is randomly shutting down and I have to pull the battery before it allows me to turn it back on. I'm not sure if this is a software, hardware, or battery issue.
I'm running an LG G3 D850, rooted and running flexos 5.1.1, and the 777 kernel. Everything has been fine until about a week ago when I noticed the first shutdown. As of the past two days it has become more frequent. I think the issue may have been with the settings I had set for the app I was using to manage my kernel settings. So I've uninstalled it and will report back. I have a logcat and a screenshot of my about phone, i just dont know how to post it. Any and all help is appreciated, really not wanting to flash another ROM if it can be avoided. Thanks.

Thank you for your quick response. Im trying to avoid that as long as possible, but will turn to it as a last resort. Would you maybe have any other suggestions? I would like to post this logcat as I'm hoping it may shed some light on the shut downs. How might I do that?
