Device keeps rebooting itself every few hours - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey there guys,
my z3 keeps restarting itself every now an then, sometimes it's 5 minutes after a reboot sometimes it takes a few hours. Tried everything so far to see if it's software related: flashed concept, mm beta, completely wiped internal storage with flashtool when installing new rom, leaving it completely stock for a few days without root but nothing, also tried another sim card but nothing has helped so far, also in /proc there's no last_kmsg created so everything i found on logs so far was in data/system/dropbox
http://pastebin.com/N5FN078X
this was the only last_kmsg log i found so far maybe someone can find something in this log, would really appreciate any help :highfive:

Hi,
A few times ago my CyanogenMod also does some 'random reboots'.
The cyanogenmod logo appears but not the sony logo: it was just 'soft' reboot.
You can check this in your dmesg after reboot:
Code:
dmesg | tail
The numbers of seconds could give you this information. Then you can dump the dmesg.
Another thing I ran:
Code:
logcat > /storage/sdcard1/log
If your phone does a real reboot maybe you can see something. But warning logcat is really verbose so it writes a lot to the sdcard and file can grow fast.
Hope it help and sorry if some words are not the right ones

System Logs

My phone keeps restarting by itself and I'm guessing something is failing. Does anyone know where I can find system log files like syslog that could have logs about system failures, etc...? I've tried logcat but it only seems to display logs since the last reboot.
Does anyone else get these random reboots? So far I haven't modded anything on my phone, I've only telneted into it and browsed the file system. It's been rebooting on its own ever since I got it. It's running RC28.
You could try running
logcat > /sdcard/log.txt &
Which should in theory dump all the log in a file on your sdcard in the background which you could analyze post-mortem.
Of course I haven't tried, and it might just brick your phone or at least be the cause of the crash. So do at your own risk.
In truth you should call T-Mobile support and ask them.
Thanks for the suggestion. What I've done is use the Android SDK + the USB driver and on my PC I ran "adb logcat > C:\logcat.txt" and I've left it plugged into my PC. So far it has yet to reboot. Kind of annoying that now it doesn't want to reboot by itself when I'm monitoring the logs.
If something happens, I'll post an update.

[Q] Acer a500: CWM installs every rom OK, wipes done OK, boot always fails ...

After a failed OTA update, my iconia a500 stock (never rooted) bricked. Got CWM v5.0.2.3 installed through APX mode and the recovery mode starts pretty smooth when I boot with Vol DOWN + Power.
I can install every ROM (custom and stock) I could lay my hands on, ranging from 3.0.1 to 4.0.*. Also did the wipes in all imagined combinations: before installing a rom, right after installation (before first boot) and also after 1st boot attempt. Also made sure to format /data, /cache, /system and so on before every installation. Tried different SD cards and also a USB mass storage thumb drive.
The thing I just can´t explain yet, is how on every try the same thing happens, 1st boot (long one) seems to just fail and my tab gets back to that screen where you see the clock on the lower right and the pulley icon saying "Android System" on the upper left corner. After that, every boot does that and the Android initial setup screens never comes up.
Every rom I try delivers the same result, even though I get their splash logos (ephiphany, taboonay, thor) and all seems to be going OK, it always gets back to that "Android System", no error messages, nothing.
I found out that Thor rom 14.2 made the "Android System" screen touch responsive (no other did that), I can touch the clock, open the first level of settings and if I try to drill down, touching storage for an instance, it won´t load the app/menu, it gets righ back to the good old "Android System" screen.
After a custom rooted rom gets installed and I get the "Android System" screes, adb works fine and I manage to get in the tab with a shell, mount an SD card, use the ps command to see the process running and even start the bootanimation myself, so I´m assuming that android is runing OK, at least on the background. Adb also allows me to push files and install apks normally. Have some linux background myself, used the shell to browse around and checked some of the logs, nothing clear showing an error that would force my boots to terminate sooner.
Wondering if anyone experienced something like that and could point me at some direction. Am I missing something here ?? Thanks guys and great job i might add.
Still no luck ...
Hi everyone, wanted to get back and maybe share my logcat and bugreport retrieved by adb shell. If any of the more experienced members could take a look and point me to some direction, I´d really appreciate. Really i´ve tried all the methods arround here and other forums to unbrick it, it behaves and responds as if everything was OK and still fails to boot for the first time, even though, the system appears to be running ok on the backgroup the initial setup wizar never comes up and I get the "Android System" dreadfull screen.
Discovered that once in with adb shell I can run the setup wizard (calling it by prompt: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardActivity), but it only stays opened for a couple of seconds and never finishes its business, it just abends.
Not sure if this would be the proper thread to post, it would be great if someone could adivise where would be a proper place.
Thanks for your time.
Hi vortex,
Were you able to fix that? I'm having the exact same problem. :-(
I've been trying for days already.
Cheers,

[Q] Continuous Force Closes

I've recently started having problems after changing ROMs a couple of times.
I tried installing a new Rom (CM12.1) but it is still happening and I've installed a new GAPPS each time too so I guess the problem runs deeper than that.
The ROM runs fine for a bit but then all of a sudden I get a force close which constantly keeps coming up no matter how many times I press 'Ok'.
I've had a few different processes stop but the last two that spring to mind are 'process.android.phone', 'Swiftkey' and 'Google Play'.
I have to reboot but then end up stuck at the splash screen at boot. I then have to Power+Vol Down to go into recovery and then reboot system from there. It then runs through the App optimisation screen brfore restarting.
I've never touched kernels since I've been changing ROMs so whether thats the issue.
Any help with this would be great as otherwise this is the best Rom Ive used.
Thanks in advance
A logcat showing traces of these force closes would help

I didnt do one on account of me not having a clue what the hell one was
Luckily my friend Google does know what the hell one was.
I've attached a couple of log files created around the time of the unpleasantries which hopefully might shed some light.
This one attached might be better, this was taken after I sorted out my Root Access again so might have more info.

Looks like a resources issue. Are you running any custom CM10 theme? What happens if you install such a theme providing an icon pack?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I havent been near any other custom themes. I've had this problem over a couple of Roms too.
I've tried to generate a catlog to get some error messages around the time its happening but I keep getting constant force close boxes which stop me doing anything (for a couple of different processes). The only way to stop them is to reboot but then the logs stop and reset when it boots so I cant get the info.
I've had to reboot about three times today and each time it has had to optimize the apps for some reason.
I've tried to get a catlog through ADB but I cant run the Android SDK as I need to install the JDK which keeps giving me 'Error 1500' on the install (even though I am most definately not already trying to install it).
Thanks for your help so far though and taking the time to read through the previous log.
Every solution I try just seems to create more problems
I've managed to attach a text file of all the error files its had since it started up (they are all in the space of about 10mins)
I'm not seeing any force closes in there. In your previous log, I saw these lines:
Code:
07-15 18:24:07.919 W/ResourceType(2356): No package identifier when getting value for resource number 0x00000000
07-15 18:24:07.919 W/PackageManager(2356): Failure retrieving resources for [insert any package here basically]: Resource ID #0x0
which led me to identify resources (i.e. icons, drawables, etc) as your culprit.
What we need to do with that information, I wouldn't know. Ask the rom dev, I suppose?

Well I'm assuming their force closes. I get a white box popping up that says 'unfortunately XXXXX has closed' and when I click 'ok' the box goes away but either comes straight back or another similar one pops up. Its Trebuchet quite a lot.
I can't do anything then, if I try to get to LogCat that closes too and I can't really do anything until I reboot.
Its happened over 3 different Roms so dont think theres much the Rom compiler (is that what they're called, lol) can do.
I'm am probably going to have to see if I can get a Log through ADB, if I can remember how to use it, when I have time.
Cheers
I've managed to connect the tablet through ADB and managed to get some errors taken at the time I started getting all the 'Unfortunately XXXXX has closed [ok]' boxes kept coming up.
All the error messages attached came up in the space of a few seconds.
Ahh, now this is interesting. The main cause of your problem is that your filesystem is remounted read-only, which Play Store Services doesn't like.
As to why this is going on I can only guess, but it's possible that it's due to filesystem corruption. Can you try running fsck from recovery?

Hi,
Thanks for looking through them errors.
To be honest I haven't heard of fsck. Is it something I can pick up fairly simply or am I more likely to do more damage? I've done a few searches and it looks a bit difficult and couldn't really find any threads that sounded similar to what I might need.
Thanks again
Update : I've gone into recovery and found files in /system/bin called fsck.exfat and fsck.f2fs is it a case of running a command through terminal command in recovery from this directory?
Fsck is the linux file system checker. The binary is named e2fsck. I think the command should be:
Code:
e2fsck -pv /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS
This will try to automatically fix any errors (be sure to note whether there are any). If it complains about unexpected inconsistencies, you'll need to remove the 'p' argument to prevent it from trying to do any automatic fixing.
Note: the whole point of this command is to check and, if needed, modify low-level filesystem structures, so there is a risk of data loss on your DATAFS (i.e. /data) partition.
Be sure to note if there are any errors. If there are, we need to investigate where those are coming from. If not, something else is causing your fs to remount readonly (because THAT is ultimately what is triggering your system to flip out).
(Apologies for the delay, it's been a busy week)

Hi,
No worries mate, I wasn't sure if what I said didn't make sense thats why there were no replies
The problem seems to be a lot better now but I've still had it a couple of times over the last two days.
I've tried to run the command above but with no joy. I'm still only learning the basics of ADB so still having some trouble.
I wasn't sure exactly where to run the commands from through the SDK so just went to the Terminal Command in Recovery and after navigating to the system/bin folder tried that command but it came up with the following:
/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS is in use
esfsck: cannot continue, aborting
I apologise if some of what I am doing seems nonsense but I am trying to pick up what I can by myself from various sketchy threads to avoid being a 'tell me what to do cos I can't be bothered looking myself' person. I dont know if this is doing more harm then good
Thanks again in advance for your help.
You cannot check a filesystem while it is in use. Solution: boot to recovery (sorry, I should have specified), then make sure your data partition is not mounted (in CWM it isn't by default, which is good). Then it should be able to run.
(so: boot tablet to recovery, on computer run 'adb shell', in adb shell copy/paste the actual fsck command)

For some reason I cannot get my PC to pickup the tablet in a command window when in TWRP so I was unable to run through ADB. 'ADB Devices just did not show anything.
In the end I did it all on my tablet in TWRP through the 'Command Terminal'. I navigated to the necessary folder (the one with fsck.exfat and fsck.f2fs in - /system/bin) through the Command Terminal and after typing the command in I got the following:
/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS clean, 9086/791520 files, 694414/3160055 blocks
Is that good?
It means that your emmc is fine and that there's a different reason why you're getting force closes. Can you post a dmesg next time it happens?

Hi, yea sure. I could use a bit of guidance with exactly how to do that though. I take it that is something I would have to run through ADB from my PC before I reset my tablet? Step by step instructions would be appreciated a lot (as has your extensive help already, creep creep ).
Boot to normal android. Wait until you start getting force closes. Stick your tab into your computer, run 'adb shell', then run 'dmesg'. If it says permission denied, run 'su' first and then run 'dmesg' again. Post the output.

Right, first thing this morning I had some errors, so I've managed to paste the results of a dmesg into the log file attached.
Cheers!
Hmmmm, now this is interesting. It looks like random services are failing to load - they are immediately exiting after being restarted. This is basically the same problem as with your apps force closing - something at the lower layers is causing everything to crash immediately upon launch.
Yet you're able to run basic programs (e.g. adb, dmesg) just fine, meaning that it's not likely to be a hardware issue.
What happens if in adb shell you run su and then 'stop' followed by 'start'? What should happen: when you run 'stop', the whole system freezes, and when you run 'start', you see your boot logo and android starts booting up again. Is this indeed what happens in this case, or do you get a bootloop? If so, post another logcat when you're stuck in the loop; you can get out of it by simply entering 'reboot' in your still-open adb shell.

How to debug data related bootloop?

begonia (Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro), MIUI 11.0.6.0
I had an unfortunate series of events that resulted in a booloop. Basically:
- Magisk suddenly stopped working one day, after 1.5 year of no issues. I did nothing related to it recently, except just using root functionalities in e.g. Tasker
- I flashed newer Magik 23 and also updated TWRP fom 3.3.1 to 3.5.2
- everything worked fine up until one restart, which resulted in TWRP encryption problems. Right before restart I'm pretty sure I installed Viper4android. I could still get into system with a workaround of TWRP's "Decrypt user" hanging into button reboot, but Magisk/root wasn't working anymore
- so I thought reflashing Magisk and dm-verity/forceencrypt would help, but here's where the bootloops started. During the flash attempts I saw some partition mounting errors since the device was decrypted, so maybe that caused some data issues?
I tried now:
- downgrading TWRP to 3.3.1 - decryption works fine in it and I can flash problemlessly from it, however, doesn't help with bootloop. Reflashing Magisk/dm-verity zips from it also didn't help
- flashing recovery ROM (the same MIUI I had - 11.0.6.0) changed nothing
- flashing fastboot ROM in MiFlash with "save user data" option changed nothing, except I guess confirming the issue is with data
- last thing I tried was flashing uninstall.zip for Magisk since that removed its data folders, which I thought may have got corruped, also to no avail
I know it would probably get fixed with data wipe, but I need the data - I have hundreds of apps with lots of configuration for permissions, notiications, etc. and my recent backups from few months ago vanished because SD card got lost. I have a TWRP 3.3.1 backup of the data now, too bad I didn't do it before updating Magisk/TWRP - lesson learned... So the question is - what can I still do to further debug and fix this without losing data?
I read that reading these logs may also help with debugging, but not sure what to look for.
Kernel log (/proc/lastkmsg): https://pastebin.com/T2xBBRvi - some error looking lines at the end, but non-comprehensible. Can I use them somehow futher?
dmesg log: https://ghostbin.com/paste/vyBDk - don't really see anything here, but it's quite long and not sure what to look for
logcat: https://ghostbin.com/paste/PSh7f - lots of "avc" errors
Please help
Bump. Any help would be appreciated
Plug in the USB cable with the phone powered off. Then issue the commands
Code:
adb devices
adb wait-for-device
adb logcat
from your Windows CMD or Linux terminal: it will hang waiting for the device to come on-line, now power up the phone. The logcat should start scrolling off then.
While it's turned off:
Code:
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
mfaajbdu5s79pfhy unauthorized
If you `adb wait-for-device`, the cmd just waits and you can't enter next command.
`adb logcat`, if I skip the above, waits for device itself, but nothing happens, it just restarts to TWRP and the commands still hang. I can use logcat while in recovery though, that's what I did above
Ok, so I just went ahead and tried the following, too:
- made sure the TWRP data backup can get restored, just in case
- wiped data through TWRP, still the same (re)bootloop into TWRP. I tried both factory reset and advanced wipe with Dalvik/Data/ntenal Storage/Cache.
- so I tried reflashing 11.0.6.0 using MiFlash with that erasing data. That at least worked and phone boots after doing this, but unfotunately not what I'm looking it
- I then tried to get TWRP 3.3.1 back. I got into that and the usual rooting steps were invalid - recovery_fromboot ile was not present in system_root/system. Maybe that's not just present in downloadable ROMs? No clue, but doing the rest of required rooting steps - Magisk 23 install -> Close AVB (TWRP action) -> Remove dmverity (TWRP action) resulted this time in infinite type of bootloop, not sure why, waited for over 30 minutes
- so I reset into TWRP and tried flashing the dmverity zip that's from xda. And this is definitely what caused previous (re)bootloop as after flashing that its more or less the same time length before boot stops and restarts into TWRP. Now, weirdly, while installing this there was an error this time, saying that nvdata cannot be mounted
So I guess the problem before was with mounting nvdata? I see it's something related to phone's IMEI. How does it work exactly, is it somehow related to /data partition? Why wouldn't it mount? Why does it work with pure standard flashed ROM? Is it supposed to be empty when you look at it with TWRP's file manager? Could be something else but this is my only clue right now...
EDIT: oh, you can mount it in TWRP and that works fine, it's not empty. Not sure why that install scipt suddenly stated claiming it can't be mounted, by the end of log, though.
Completely no insights?
I'm coming back to the topic after almost 1 year on old backup phone because I got depressed by this incident and couldn't continue working on it. The old one is like 6 years old, it has abysmal battery life, it ran out of space and I can't install certain apps on older Android, I'm also missing a lot of the set up that I had and which was pretty convoluted - with Tasker and lots of other heavily configured apps. Which slows me down each day.
I can bring the new phone into usable state anytime, a matter of less than hour and reflashing the soft completely, however, setting it up initially took me one year of almost daily changes, many of which can't be retraced as my Titanium backup is old for some reason and there were a bunch of root related changes.
So any sort of help as to how I could potentially recover it with the data would be really appreciated.
And bump
Let's try a bump again
And one more hopeful bump. I'm even willing to pay/donate for any useful insight that will lead to progress with this as my old backup phone is becoming unusable and I don't want to start setting up this one from scratch again.
One last bump before trying in a new topic.
TLDR: what's the best way to debug a bootloop? Do the logs above help or is there something else?

Experience & questions on Flashing unofficial lineageos17 & magisk on Doogee S68Pro

TL;DR, I'm having 'SIM not detected' issues and my laptop will crash if I open another tab, please help I've attached output of `locat -b radio`

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:
I believe about two years back I had already installed an earlier build of LineageOs v17 Magisk v19 using fastboot. This was a trial and error kind of thing as I'm only a fanatic when I have to be. After a long time I finally had a working combination; sort of. Soon about every month or so, or after a couple of restarts, my SIM card would not get detected. Though different behaviors would occur, like 'Emergency calls only', 'No Service' or SMS suddenly not coming through. Since then one time or two a restart fixed the issue until the next month or so. I tried inserting the SIM in every order of events, wiping cache/ dalvik, switching airplain mode, resetting network settings, uninstalling magisk and so on. Then I read somewhere I can't remember about draining the battery capacitors(?) by turning the device on and off on an empty battery until there's no power left and the screen doesn't light up. So I did that and that worked! After a couple of times running into this issue on a fully charged 6300mah battery I downloaded 'generic battery drainer' from the GPlayStore and that app is still on my main screen. Apparently when the device shuts down as the app is draining it, the SIM is detected again when I power up after that, so no need too drain completely... I couldn't find answers anywhere and I like Lineage so much that I just accepted it :')
RECENT EXPERIENCE:
This weekend I decided to give it another try and went for LineageOs v18 but TWRP wouldn't go any further than 'Failed to mount /system/<something>' and I finally went for the above mentioned sources. I patched TWRP recovery using the Magisk app (though I get the impression that this was designed out of necessity, I kinda like being able to switch between Magisk like this). It took me a while to understand that using wipe and decrypting data in TWRP before flashing system (fastboot) has the result of adjusting the system partition to the size of system image when flashing, leaving no space for gapps. Then I flashed stock rom, started device and let it encrypt, then flash the new system image. This kept the original system size with enough space. System started up nicely after, except for: In magisk I got "abnormal state, other su detected". After much reading I could link it to the /system/xbin/su binary. Renaming this (scared to remove) fixed that and $PATH was even appended with ":/sbin:/sbin/.magisk/busybox:". And then, the SIM card issues started after my first couple of reboots :') When it works, so far it's only when I boot without magisk.
QUESTIONS:
Whenever I use the wipe option in TWRP that will also decrypt the device, I can wipe whatever I want. But as soon as system starts it's encrypting data again and I have to use adb for example. Isn't this a generic thing? I get confused about reading so much to use TWRP for this.
Can anyone shed light on the effects of what I'm describing with "draining the battery"? And how running the drainer app might have similar effects?
What is a better approach to configure the size of the system partition? Cause now it's basically twice as big as it has to be
Is the /system/xbin/su in the Lineage build? Is that the built-in root that was/ is/ will be deprecated?
And the GOLDEN question, how can I fix these SIM issues? My head is exploding with information trying to figure out what apps and processes are involved in this. As a logcat first-timer I managed to get the output of `logcat -b radio`, see attached file. This line caught extra attention "Failed getting samsung hardware radio", but I'm out of my territory.
THANKS in advance for any input,
greetings, from a little experienced flasher
RUNNING WITH MAGISK
Further inspecting the lines of logcat -b radio, it seams that ril-daemon isn't started when I'm booting with Magisk/ root, like in the previously attached file. Also getprop shows way fewer props with 'ril' in the value than starting non-root, though altering in count between boots. Reading this https://wladimir-tm4pda.github.io/porting/telephony.html and under RIL Initialization "RIL daemon reads rild.lib path and rild.libargs system properties to determine the Vendor RIL library to use and any initialization arguments to provide to the Vendor RIL" I'm wondering, can it be something as simple as a missing PATH or env value? Anyone have the same experience?
RUNNING WITHOUT MAGISK
logcat -b radio shows way more output and many more things happening. I get the impression that the issue is in or close to the application framework layer... I'm now, still hopeful, attaching two files of logcat radio output. One after boot, up to the login screen and one after login.
Between my post and now, I did however "Remove Telephony Subsystem" through setting => Phh Treble Settings => Misc features, (just trying things out as I read stuff) and I haven't been able to get SIM working again, also not after draining the battery as previously worked. Can this be related? How do I get it back (without reflashing)?
Finally some time to update again. As I have understood, Lineageos18 seems to have an extra level of complexity with the need for mounting system as rw and gets more complex if it is encrypted, so I'm still with magisk patched twrp and GSI Lineageos17.
My SIM still isn't working while booted as root, and I can at least determine that rild is not started and also not present/ available through the terminal. As to why and how to fix that, please let me know if you do! I read some places that PATH has to be inserted with the value of PATH from the non-root env in the init.environ.rc file. That did not make a noticable difference for me. I have not installed the magisk app. So far my SIM is working better than before in non-root/ normal system boot, even after restarts and switching to and back from root.
Some (trivial) things I found many questions and few answers about so far on my quest, in case it might help someone:
I could get rid of "too many symbolic links encountered" in the twrp terminal by setting PATH to just one bin location like '/sbin'. I also had this ld.config.txt error in the terminal (which indeed did not exist on my phone) and was able to trace it back to the /system/system/bin/dlinker64 binary trying to mount that file. I just renamed that and that resolved the error. Then I was able to use the terminal to edit the init.environ.oc file (I could not get adb to work in twrp mode). Not anything specifically, but I found this (among many posts on this forum) quite helpful https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskInstallationIssues.
