I installed the 9.18.79 update on my rooted with stock rom razr maxx hd. The only change i made to stock apps was the sqlite tether mod hack. I used voodoo ota rootkeeper and it worked fine, so I still have root. I do not have unlocked bootloader. Anyway, after that update, it keeps freezing and restarting. Doesn't matter what app, every 5 min to half hour, even when i'm not using the fon it will restart. Very annoying! Is there a fix for this or a way to uninstall update?
If you unlocked your bootloader I would say a factory reset would be worth a try. This way your phone is refreshed to pure stock. You will lose root but with an unlocked bootloader that doesn't matter because getting root back is easy.
If your bootloader is still locked, a data reset will cause you to lose root (edit: after posting this i am second guessing if a data reset will lose root. It might not. It had been so long since i have done that i can't remember. Lol) and there is no confirmed way of getting it back. Of course, if your phone is basically unusable with constant reboots, I think I would rather have a working phone without root than what you are currently dealing with.

It's not unlocked and the update fixed the exploit to unlock it I didn't think I needed it unlocked anyway. I just wish I knew if vzw or a dev will come out with a patch for this so called update.
Mine is doing just about the exact same thing. I upgraded it on Saturday and it has rebooted more times than I can count. I hogs battery now too. I could get an easy 3 days before, I am no power user, the last 2 days I've used over 50% battery and have not done a thing. I used the OTA rootkeeper as well to keep root. I hardly have any apps frozen with Titanium Backup, unfroze them all, I'm running Nova Launcher. Funny thing is I did the exact same thing on my wife's phone with no issues. Hers is rooted too, stock ROMs. I was totally happy with the stock ROM, so I have not ROM'd this phone yet, want to now cuz it sucks but going to have to wait until I can root again. I tried wiping cache in Titanium and a couple times in the stock recovery. Did nothing.

Wife says she has had problems keeping her bluetooth connected in her car, she said it disconnects frequently now. She just has a stock Lexus radio which worked flawless. DAmn you Verizon, these phones were AWESOME prior to this update, burn in hell haha!
I wiped cache in stock recovery as well
Is there a way to sbf the original stock file back to the fon? I've used sbf on a number of droid x but thats been awhile.
I have the exact same problem as OP, but the period between reboots can be as high as 2-3 days. Anyone have any idea what is actually wrong? Did they program in a random reboot to make us want to upgrade to the Droid Maxx?

No, a FDR does not remove root.
Glad I have not updated yet. Matter of fact I froze the updater so it won't update.
well if fdr won't lose root with locked bootloader, i might try that, tho i'm pretty sure it won't help.
Well, I just did the data reset. Didn't lose my root. Reinstalled all of my apps with Titanium and will see if the lockups go away and if the battery life gets back to where it was prior to the update.
Still freezes and reboots. I guess I'll start removing apps and widgets to try and pinpoint. This sucks, was such an awesome phone prior to this ghetto upgrade.

Did fdr, still reboots.
I've deleted all widgets and still froze and rebooted. So, I ditched Nova launcher and went back to the stock launcher and so far so good. My wife runs the stock launcher and has had zero issues and I upgraded both phones at the same time. Both phones are rooted. I liked Nova a lot, but like stable phone better.
Will report back after more saddle time with stocker.

Not the launcher locked up again. Gonna do the sbf I think, but not sure when I'm gonna have time in the next couple days. Bought the phone at BB because it was cheapest there and they basically said sorry no goon squad warranty nothing we can do. Gonna explore other options and call Verizon and ***** and see if I can get a warranty replacement somehow. Fingers crossed.

I'm having random freezes after the update. No reboots. I'm 100% stock. This is happening at least twice a day. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Is it the update because I never had this issue before the ota. It also seems to happen after or during a call.
mcaspe1, I feel your pain. There is a utility on here to go back to 9.16.6. I did that and my phone is back to being awesome. I also read a thread over on droidrzr or something like that where you can use RSD Lite to flash the new radios, which I did too. FYI I called Verizon this morning and the phone has a factory 1 year warranty. I *****ed about the battery life and the constant freezing and restarting with the new software and they are sending me a new phone. If you don't want to mess with the utility to get you back to the old stuff, which is SUPER EASY, then call Verizon and tell them the new update version you got sucks ass. It could not have been easier. Note, if you didn't do a factory reset they will tell you to do that first.

Thanks for the info. I tried deleting a few apps which I thought could be causing it. If that doesn't work I'll definitely either flash back or call VZW. Thanks again.
Here's the link to the utility to get back to the old software and to root it, did it 3 times so far now! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307439 I did options 1 & 3.
Here is the link to the instructions to install radios via RSD Lite: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/22925-snatched-that-sheezy-soak-update/page-7#entry320685 Instructions are about halfway down, worked fine for me on the 9.16.6 to get the 15P radio.
Already got the notification from Verizon that my replacement shipped! I hope it still has 9.16.6 on it so I can unlock the bootloader after I see the shenanigans these new updates are doing to phones!
Before I started all of the flashing, I tried going back to stock launcher, unfreezing every app in Titanium Backup, killing every widget, clearing cache, and a factory data reset. I flashed back to 9.16.6 and it was all good for a few days, so took the update and it started locking up and rebooting again within 10 minutes of constant use. Must be something with the hardware that update doesn't agree with on some phones, because I think flashing the stock 9.16.6, then taking the update, and only installing tapatalk from the market and still having lockups, ruled out any apps I had running. The sucker would freeze when trying to set ringtones and check system versions and using chrome and tapatalk.

Well, Just had another freeze and now I'm fed up. Nothing I've done has helped. I'll revert back so I can have a working phone. I called and have a replacement coming. Thanks for the info. I have posted on the Motorola owner's forum regarding this. They are now aware.
A fellow poster, "Bertil", on the Motorola owners website has indicated they believe that turning off smart actions and clearing the application will stop the screen freezes. Says its been a week without any problem. I figure I'll try it out until my replacement comes tomorrow. I'll report back.

Ever since updating to 5.1.1 via OTA update on my AT&T Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915A, I have had numerous issues. The phone lags/freezes often at best, but also crashes and reboots randomly. Worse yet, it has gotten into a boot loop a few times. I have factory reset and cache-wiped numerous times and even flashed a clean 5.1.1 via odin and still have the same issues. Apparently 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 cannot be flashed via Odin once 5.1.1 is installed and I can confirm this is true as I have tried.
Is anyone else having these issues? I have seen similar reports from the Note 4 forums but they seem to be getting new firmware updates to fix the issues. My firmware is N915AUCU2COI2 and is the latest available for the SM-N915A as far as I can determine.

Wouldn't that require ROOT access? The AT&T variant has a locked bootloader, so no root.

I've been experiencing the same issues since 12/19/15. I too have the N915A... and it has worked just fine up until that day. I noticed while I was out xmas shopping that it was rebooting a number of times while i stood in line waiting to check out of the store. I did not want to be that guy in line pulling apart an electronic device so i waited until I got to the car. Pulled the battery, she was a hot mess, then once it was cool I re inserted and powered the phone back up only to find it to be really laggy, a number a apps were crashing on without me touching them, random reboots, need to pop the battery, SD, and SIM to restart the phone without it getting hungup on the boot routine.
I recently used ODIN to load 'stock" 5.1.1. firmware but no luck. Not entirely sure that its N915A firmware, found it from other threads on the forum. Before knowing we could not go back to previous version, I took a whack at going back to those as well. So far I've reset the phone probably 7 or 8 times with a fresh OTA firmware install and only installing a few apps like Facebook, RSA VPN client and Team Viewer to keep variables minimal.
Ever since xmas day i stopped trying and been trolling the web for support only to here that the N915A has no root yet and other unavailable mods thus far . I have not tried to do anything else yet from a programming standpoint. I put the phone into developer mode, toggled some settings for the CPU and GPU in there so that they ran independently.Setup to be notified when an app crashed in the background. Downloaded Nova Launcher to avoid TouchWiz as I've heard that can be buggy with 5.1.1. So far the phone has been working somewhat normal. No random restarts, however if I restart it myself i may need to remove the battery for a minute to get it going again. The battery seems to be draining faster than it should, least of my worries for now. If i just let the phone do its things without trying to be a few thoughts ahead of it, it seems to process just fine.
Oddly its improving, I'm not sure why. Also, not pleased with it either but its better than having a brick atm. Intend to keep trolling the webs for more solutions until a root is dev'd and nursing this thing until it either hits the bucket again or for some weird reason gets better on its own....

So that's it then? Is there really no way whatsoever to go back to 5.0.1 or even 4.4.4 kitkat from 5.1.1? I've been trying to do it for a while now but I'm new to this Odin downgrading thing.

I also have the AT&T Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915A. Ever since I updated via OVA this June 2016 it has been freezing/rebooting on its own/crashing apps. I have found 3 SM-N915A roms but cannot revert back to these previous builds. I have tried KEIS3 via Samsung to reflash firmware but it wont recognize my device name. After 2 weeks of crashing the phone is now a joke, when it once was king. It was such an awesome phone when it was released. Now I must lay it down to sleep. I guess I will get the Note 7 Edge which should be released this August.
I just wanted to express my frustration over ATT Branded Phone and will not be buying their branded phones anymore. I will be buying international versions or unlocked phones since ATT screwed me on this one.

I ended up being only days left in warranty and getting a replacement. Then a few months later I switched to T-Mobile and got the SM-N915T. So far so good and just OTA updated to Android 6.0. Only negative is T-Mobile's coverage in my area is poor, but WiFi calling, unlimited data (speed limited), and unlimited Binge On media streaming at full speed are great positives. T-Mobile Tuesdays is pretty cool too I must admit :good:
Same problem on SM-N915F even persisting after the new 6.0.1 update
Me too, my note edge N915G get restart constantly after ota update to 6.1 i try to flash with odin but always fail..
Got my 32gb unlocked A9 a few days ago. Wondering, without modifying anything (unlocking bootloader, custom recovery, rooting, ect) is it possible to run this phone without encryption? My 3rd Gen Moto G feels faster than this. I find the general lag, and sometimes even freezing, a nuisance (especially during read/write), and have no need for the encryption. Is there an option somewhere to disable it? Maybe some different steps during factory setup (i.e. opting out of pin/fingerprint)? I'd like to have the phone decrypted, but would still like to use the fingerprint to wake/unlock the phone.
My phone is on the latest firmware, and I've already tried a factory reset, this is why I'm assuming the performance hit is the encryption.
Example of one of the stutters I notice is going between the home screen and the recents screen. Anyone else get this? Maybe something got screwy during the 20 (/s) firmware updates when I got it?
Edit: Also thought I'd mention that I'm also getting random reboots.

AFAIK it is not possible without TWRP. I have reflashed the whole system and tried if it stays decrypted without setting up fingerprint, but it does not.
I have had some lags as you described, it got better with usage, there are some micro lags, but I got used to it. It is smooth in general. I have also had one reboot in the first few days, but not ever since. Give it a little time.

I downloaded the 1.7gb file from HTC and used that to reflash(?) the phone. I can tell some things are different in the UI than when it went through the chain of updates, and seems faster too. Might be placebo. I'm still waiting to see if I get a reboot. Reboots were happening about every 12 hrs.

Yeah, I did the same too. I felt the phone became more laggy, after updating OTA, so I thought reinstalling the latest firmware might be the best idea. I'm not saying it is perfect, as it is not, multitasking can be really sh*tty sometimes (I have the 2Gb version though), but it is usable, and generally fast and smooth.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The last time, how I loaded it was I installed the factory rom. Then I rooted it. (I paid one click root to do it the right way.) I then found a debloated rom and reimaged it without the bloat. After that, it was debloated but unrooted. So, I rooted it the same way one click root rooted it. (I recorded the screen as they did it the first time.)
Everything was working great. The phone worked wonderful for weeks. All the sudden this morning, my google play started crashing over and over. I wasn't sure why, so I rebooted the phone. It was stuck on the AT&T logo for 15+ minutes and the phone was heating up and appearing to be dead. So, I then forced rebooted it a few times with no luck. So, then I rebooted it into recovery and factory reset it.
The one thing I'm confused about that part is I did recover it this morning using the factory recovery. It seems like that would've put the directv app back on and exactly as if it was factory. But it didn't.
But none the less, it's back working. It's still running the debloated rom but unrooted. Not sure if I feel like re-rooting it. But, does anyone have any theories why a phone would be working just fine for weeks on end, then randomly one morning google play starts crashing non-stop. reboot the phone and it's dead? I swear I didn't do anything else. I'm really trying to refrain from messing with it. I just wanted it debloated so the battery life could be better. (The battery life is pathetic.) Today the battery life wasn't too bad. But, I'll pretty much guarantee that within the next few weeks, something will go haywire out of the blue.

It is the fault of the rom you installed. Since it is de-bloated, then the developer of that rom might have accidentally removed an important app or service which is the cause of all of your problems. It can be fixed it by installing the stock rom via odin, rooting the phone and installing a different rom.
You paid to root your phone?
This particular crash was the first time it happened on this pre-debloated rom. The previous ones have all been on the stock rom.
ok, last night my phone required an att update. It attempted to update and rebooted. Stuck in a boot loop. Couldn't get out of it. Would just sit at the AT&T logo indefinitely. This was with the stock ROM rooted. So, I had to reload stock room unrooted again. Does anyone else have this problem with the rooted stock rom? Basically it runs for a few weeks. Then AT&T attempts to update and crashes the OS.
You can't OTA update a rooted phone
So what does everyone do about this? My phone pops up the update now or later message 3-4 times a day. I can't block the Ota update. If I ignore it, it prompts constantly.

Freeze the updater service / process / app, clear the cache to remove the downloaded update
Can u explain further how to freeze the updater service?
Ok, I looked up how to freeze the updater service and did that. I re-unrooted the phone, rooted it, then froze the updater service. My phone never updated. This morning an app was crashing. Rebooted it and same thing. Stuck on the at&t logo and won't boot. I'm having to re-default it again. The phone never updated from AT&T. But something crashed it last night. No clue. Problem is when this happens, the phone never boots back up so I can't look at it to find out why it happened.
I just updated to Oreo via OTA and the phone worked great for a day. After that, I couldn't make calls and people couldn't call me. My phone would randomly reboot or get stuck on the G logo.
I wiped and reinstalled Oreo, and now the same thing is happening. Plus I see this weird 'colourful static' after trying to make a call, before my phone just shuts off. I tried safe mode and the same thing happens.
Currently in an urgent situation where I need my phone to be functioning, hoping someone here can help.
Thanks
I am having exactly the same issues since the Oreo OTA. If I reboot the phone, the issues go away for a while, but eventually it's back to problems where I'm unable to make/receive calls, screen is flickering (even that colored static you mentioned), lag when unlocking the phone, etc.
Have you found out anything?

I am having exactly the same issues since the Oreo OTA. If I reboot the phone, the issues go away for a while, but eventually it's back to problems where I'm unable to make/receive calls, screen is flickering (even that colored static you mentioned), lag when unlocking the phone, etc.
Have you found out anything?

I have no such problems. I am running stock. It is running really smooth. I also have september security update. Unfortunately, only thing I can suggest is factory reset.

I am also running stock, never rooted, never unlocked the bootlader, also running the september security update. I have factory reset, and I have even run into the issues while using the phone in Safe Mode. There are a number of people with similar issues leaving feedback on Google's issue tracker, but I was hoping to find someone who maybe has found a solution.

I am sorry to hear that man! I hope you/google figures it out.... may be try flashing the factory image manually.
I'm having the same issues and verizon Chat support told me they are having issues with the OS upgrade and the Pixel. Did the factory reset and everything else. Replacement phone coming now. If it's the Oreo OS, I bet it's going to have the same problem... This is a major problem, as I am a single Dad and have a long drive to get my daughter - do they really want me to text while I drive instead of calling?? This is Day 5 of this issue and 4 trips to their stores.... ugh. Suggestions?
Update
Just wanted to post an update. After factory resetting a few times the problem persisted. I sent it back to my wireless carrier and they sent it to Google. In the meantime I had a loaner phone from my carrier. Google sent back a refirb (it was practically new with new screen and camera), and the issue hasn't come back in the new phone. My suggestion is to send back to your carrier to get a replacement. Good luck!
i am on stock too (from google store), oreo update and have exactly the same problem, it also occurs with "ok google".
after reboot, calls and "Ok google" work perfect so the mic is okay. but sooon after it just stops working and i got randoom reboots.
same is happening in "safe mode"
i did factory reset via android and id did not help.
now i tried a factory reset via boot menu and will check it out.
