[Q] MIUI crashes when I call someone!

I recently flashed the latest version of MIUI, which is v6(tried up to v6.13.1 as well) and every time I try calling someone, the phone hangs for a few seconds, then reboots back to the MIUI loading.
what's wrong? up to version 5.31 the rom worked just fine and I couldn't find anyone with a similar issue on the official post.
please help?
phone in question is i9000, note that SMS and incoming calls work fine.

try this
goto recovery and wipe
1) system
2) data
3) cache
4) datadata
now flash the rom and reboot.

Already did that.. also tried older versions but the problem persists.
I am now on cm7 and it's working fine but I really prefer MIUI so I could really use the help!

Flash Froyo and try again
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

so I just flashed back to froyo and from there I flashed MIUI again(1.6.15) and the problem is still there!
maybe it's because of app issues? when I reset the phone back to factory and my MIUI is empty, it works fine. but as I install apps (bear in mind I tried only installing the essential apps that I really need) it seems to make the problem reappear.
what the?

what apps do you install ?

Problem to install ICSSGS RC 4.1

I try to install but don't work... after that i flash it, the phone lock to logo screen "google" and i can't go to CWM i must use odin to reflash. If install rc3.1 it's all ok.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.

Did you try looking at the help page on the thread in the development section? It's right before the post is finished, there will be a link that will lead you there.
Hope that helps, if not I can try to just copy and paste the instructions hahaha

Did you do a full wipe before flashing RC4.1?

yes... i try to flash a miui rom first also.
I try to do a full wipe... i try to install a original rom... but when i flash rc4.1 the phone stuck to logo.

Ensure you have backed up your EFS directory; if you don't know how ask.
To be honest, there appears to be some inconsistency in the reliability of the 4.1 RC release (across handsets); I have had persistent WIFI issues and then when the wifi fix was released I found the phone to just be a little laggy.
My advice if RC 3.1 works well for you is to keep it on there for now and wait for the next release they make.
However, if you still wish to flash it, there is no 100% working way - just keep factory reset, dalvik wipe, cache wipe, reset until it starts working! That's what I did as the original instructions did not work for me.

I agree with you... RC3 was fine for me... fast and all worked... RC4 has some wifi issues... It switch on/off and doesnt stop till i reboot the phone... im thinking about to downgrade to RC3.1 and wait till the next release...

Yes i try it(no backup efs)
If i flash 2 time the rom the phone stuck it and i can't enter in cmw
.. is the only rom that give me this problem... bha...

Hello, have you tried to download the rom again? Maybe it's a bad download..

That's odd, for me i got stats 7 but was because i was flashing the I9000B version and my phone was with the CWM for I9000. Try using odin and flash a sotck rom, after that install the CWM and then the RC4.1.
If anyone want to know the procedure that i do to install the RC4.1 is this:
Starting for CM7 --> flash the ARO 2.3.3 rom to re-write the bootloader (check this option in odin) --> flash the ZTO 2.2 rom to re-partition in original size partitions --> flash the 2.2.1 ARO because it's a nice rom and don't have all the trash that is present in ZTO version --> through kies flahs the ARO 2.3.3 original.
After that the procedure to install the RC4.1 is the standard: flash CWM then install the ROM.

I had problems going from 3.1 to 4.1. Same issue as OP.
Process I followed:
-Flashed CWM through heimdall
-Flashed devil kernel
-Flashed CM7 (had to do this twice in a row)
-Flashed ICSSGS 3.1
-Flashed 4.1 but before I rebooted my phone, I flashed Devil one last time.
Since then, phone has been rocking along just fine!

Yes... three times.

I'm having the same problem here.
I tried the first point on the Common Issues page but I'm still not able to go into CWM!
I flashed the Speemod Kernel using heimdll but I can't go back to CM7. I'm getting a Stat 7 error.
Also tried the Devils kernel (Devil_1.0_CFS) with no help ....
Any ideas?

Just wondering...

why on earth did you flash the CM7 as a part of the process? I always have just downloaded an appropriate kernel (devil, stockplus etc..) + ICS ROM (latest was RC4.1), once I'd rooted my stock 2.3.6 ROM with CF-Root (takes only 5 minutes). ICSSGS' ROMs can be applied straight on top of any previous ROM, the only requirement is that you have root privileges + CWM installed. Flashing CM7 is often frustrating, at least for me. I personally see no point in flashing it before the ICS ROM. If you know better, pleasy enlighten me

[Q] Phone won't boot after cleaning Cache+Dlavik on ICS.

Hey guys! First of all-sorry for being one of those people who post a question on thier first post.
I've been happily using TEAMHACKSUNG's ICS Build 15 for a couple of months with zero problem.
Restarted the phone a few hours ago in Recovery mode and cleared Cache+Dlavik Cache and after that, the phone couldn't boot. The Samsung screen shows first, then the CYANOGEN MOD screen, and Smasung again..in a loop.
Tried getting to Recovery mode, and nothing...same problem..
Download mode worked.
Please help me fix this situation. Hopfully without a full system wipe...\=
Thanks in advance! [=

Please help....I'm smartphone-less \=

Try flashing the rom again

I've flashed the stock CM7 Kernel and know I can get to recovery.
unfortunately, I don't have the rom's zip file on the internal card to flash it. I've managed to put the rom on the external sd card, but as it seems, there is no way to flash it through the external card.
I did a backup of my system thru CWM [don't have another one]. Thought of maybe flashing stock GB in odin, then CM7, then Teamhacksung's build 15, and then restore the backup I've just did.
Will it work or maybe there's a better idea?
Thanks!

I've flashed CM9 build 15 through all the instructions, with a couple of wipes in between...
Then, restored the nandroid backup and when all done-a weird colorful stripes appeared and nothing. So I installed Build 15 again and the phone booted!
Only problem now is for some reason, Messages aren't working, aswell as Facebook. And all my contacts gone [not a problem, but still-they were supposed to restore after the nandroid..]
Did I do something wrong? Can I fix the messages problem somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Weird bugs after CM9 flashing !

Hey Guys
I've got a problem since i flashed CM9 after a reflash 2.3.6 JVU with pit 512. I've flashed this GB rom to clean a little my system because it became so laggy. Now I'm on CM9 nightly of 12/07/2012 and I've lost my lockscreen, HOME button doesn't work ( but work on recovery ), and when I push the power button prolonged only 3 choices appear whereas normally there is 5 choices.
I noticed that when I flash the Rom by the recovery the progression bar isn't full when it finished and I think that there is a link between these two problems.

Hey
Downgrade your phone to GB 2.3.6 ValuePack and root it and then use it for some time..then follow all the CM9 Nightly steps carefully and upgrade...
This should solve your issue...

Well I've tried your solution and the problem appear on the GB rom too. I think it's the kernel who generate this problem when i flash the Semaphore one the problem appear.

Did you try a data wipe/factory reset? I had this problem once but no matter what I did it wouldn't go away. I ended up flashing a nightly, doing a wipe/factory reset (and formatting everything else in the CWM Mounts and storage section). Then reboot recovery and do a data wipe again. Worked for me!
EDIT - by everything in the mounts and storage section I meant /cache mainly. Not the sd cards.

The progress bar in recovery doesn't mean anything. The person who made the .zip chooses what % the bar will go to while stuff happens. I'm sure they could make it go backwards if they liked.
Edit: I've had that problem before. Just wipe all data and it should work the next time around. I think its caused by an ownership misalignment in the data partition. Once it starts your data is toast, ICS automatically deletes orphaned data.

You should use a wipe stock ROM when flashing through Odin.

Since struck at logo, battery may be ok, nevertheless as a blind shot, why don't you try with another battery.

after installing the ICS rom, install a safe kernel and do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik.
dont you have any nandroid backups?

i have this problem b4
try flash safe kernel (example hydracore), reboot

If you install ICS, the its not safe to do a wipe till you install a safe kernel...

having the same issue right now.. i rooted my stock rom, and used speedmod 15 version. This morning the screen started flickering and occasional power offs. Then the battery reading was incorrect - first 60%, then it went to 65%. After a restart it went to 12% after which I just recharged the phone as usual. No problems until this evening again it went bad and couldn't restart. I can however restart in CWM recovery and luckily have a NAND backup and Titanium backup of everything that is important to me.
I also managed to recover the /sdcard partition with adb pull command. Right now the phone will not boot past the startup animation. I already tried CM 10.1 31.12 nightly and also 9.1 stable, and have the exact same issue.
Anyone know how to fix this except for wiping? Because I already wiped everything while trying the CM builds.

First check if the battery is good. Also try a different battery.
Also this time installing the rom, try in cwm, mounts & storage, format/system, format/data, format/cache and then flash the rom

just a quick update, I ran in recovery mode and did an fsck on the 9 and 10 partitions, i got a lot errors that got "fixed" by fsck. After that I just reflashed the CM10.1 nightly and it made it past the boot screen. Not for long though. After restarting it didn't get past the boot screen again.
I gave up yesterday night and just started downloading the latest official GB. This morning I flashed it with odin and it kind of worked, until i got force closes in the wifi settings step of the setup wizard.
Now it boots into android but doesn't get past the wizard screen. I will try flashing the GB rom once more through odin, maybe that fixes some things.
any other suggestions? If it is the battery, would it make any difference if it was plugged into the wall charger while starting the phone?
---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------
another update: I did a factory reset on the GB rom and am using it while connected to the wall charger. It seems to be working OK like this. So I guess I need to find a battery and try to restore my apps and settings

Another update, I ordered a brand new genuine battery and now it seems to work stable again. I just used it as a mp3 player and to surf for a few hours and no instability issues anymore, boots up perfectly.
Original battery was dated november 2011. The new one (also genuine samsung) is from october 2012 I believe.
