Black screen of death and nandroid backup hangs

Hi,
Currently I am using Criskelo's ICS V11.2 LRK with speedmod kernel just flashed 3 days ago.But in these 3 days,i had 2 screen of deaths.I tested by calling my own number and the phone is still on,but black screen.So i had to pull out battery and reinsert them and reboot.The SOD happened randomly.
So I would like to change kernel to NoteCore and see if it helps with the SOD.But I was doing a nandroid backup first in case but it always hangs halfway.Tried twice,one to internal SD,the other to external SD,but it will hang after a while.
So now I am afraid of doing anything else and would like to ask how am i going to go forward.Initially i am thinking of either flashing kernel zip in CWM or in aroma installer but i am afraid it might hang like the backup process.As this is my first time using aroma installer apart from flashing the ROM, can i ask if aroma installer has the likelihood of hanging just like my CWM hung?
Thanks!

Yap,just pull out battery and reinsert battery and powered on normally thankfully
Can i flash any ROM since i am on speedmod kernel already which is deemed safe?Any chance of flashing ROM and it hangs halfway?:crying:

why don't you do a more safe way. downgrade to GB and start over again from scratch.

just changed to kingdroid.Will monitor abt the black screen of death issue.Hopefully.it will go away.
But backing up in CWM still hangs.I noticed that both Criskelo and Kingdroid is using CWM 5.8.18.
Anyone has experince backing up with CWM 5.8.18 with issues?
edit.install zip from sdcard(theme) also hangs halfway!
aroma installer also hangs halfway!
oh my..what is happening to my phone...

From my observation,every time it enters /system, it hangs:
-nandroid backup,once it enters "backing up system"
-install theme .zip from sdcard,"unmounting system"
-install mods from aroma installer,"unmounting system"
Any remedies to it? thanks!

If im not mistaken, you have lost full root. Try using root explorer and perform copy & paste under system folder.
Please report back.

I tried copying and pasting but it says read only.I also tried to mount r/w but i cant.However the root (/) i cant mount r/w.Back when i was using Criskelo's ROM,i also tried to mount r/w on system/app but i can't as well.Does that mean i do not have full root?

Yup. You only have partial root. Thats the problem you facing now.
Have few methods to obtain full root. You can follow dr.ketan method.

For fast step. You can download cf-root kernel in odin file. ( not zip file). And flash it thru pc odin.
You can use " triangle away" to reset binary count and remove yellow triangle.

Hi there,
I managed to flash back to rooted GB then to stock ICS,afterwards to custom ICS.
Big thanks to you for pointing it out that it's was partial root problem which enable me to find the cause.
Btw,since i go from stock ICS to custom ICS,changing ROMs should not have any root problems already right?

Since you have full root at ics. It should be no any problem. But remember, please update supersu directly after1st boot when you flash the new rom.

[Q]Root stock ICS 4.0.4.

Hi there,
I want to ask you all how do I root my stock ICS without installing other custom roms. I just need the stock to be rooted for me to install titanium back up and unroot it after the Jellybean official arrived.
I am having a lot of problem with game save files import and export. Cause most of the game save saved locally on phone.
Any help would be grateful!

Go through Dr.Ketan's guide..you will get to know everything about rooting.
I did the same thing when I first rooted my phone. Just rooted the stock ICS & was using it. So, under development section, you will find the kernel thread in which you will see Philz kernel. Select the one which is for your ICS version & flash it via PC Odin

just install the philz kernel using recovery and you will get root.

If I want to restore back to stock kernel, what should I do? flash stock kernel again?

I just updated thru Kies in Hong Kong, to 4.04 JB. I tried to use the camera and I had an alert blocking the camera screen and a message bar as follows "Tap and hold shortcuts to edit them. Also combined with it where the OK button was was a text box with the words scanning media in it.
Now, its working after I played with it, first I reboot, that didn't help. Then I accidentally put it into third party mode but hit the up volume to get out of it before it went into download mode. It started to reboot but I held the up-vol, home and on button until it went to the rest screen. I tried to just wipe the cache, but it didn't do anything, moving the selector up and down worked, I tried wiping cache again, no luck, so I just reboot. After rebooting I laid the phone down and started to look for a solution in here. So I go to try the camera again to get the alert message it had, and
Wha La, the darn camera started working right, the alert blocking the screen was gone, it came up as usual for a new triggering, but it accepted my selection when I told it ok and then it went away as usual, computers, micro-processors, no matter what kind, if you have problems, some times just a long shut down to clear the electronic memory will also clear the problems.

[Q] The system format itself?

Every time I shut down or reboot my Xperia T with the normal way, it shows the Blue Triangle and get bootloop itself.
So i get into both CWM and TWRP recovery and realize i Cannot mount /system and /cache
And when i quit the recovery, it showed no OS installed, it means the /system is formatted itself?
I need to reflash the rom again and again to get my phone on, it really annoying me.
What should i do?
And another thing I found is if i turned of my phone with Terminal Emulator or fast reboot with it, it turned on normally.

And what answer are you searching for?
Is simple "no" enough for you?
That's all I can tell you from the info you are providing.
Or should I ask for another question in repeat for your question? I thought you want an answer.

What can i do to boot up my phone without flashing the system again and again?

I don't know, if you do not tell me which rom or firmware, kernel and modifications do you have installed on your device.

I had tried multiple rom and kernel, all having same issue.
Now i am using Hybrid rom and vKernel.
Sry, i am still new to this forum..
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

Did it happened also with vKernel?
What was your previous kernel?
Try installing DoomKernel v5 (this version directly). It should solve your problem.

Yes, it did happen with vKernel
My previous kernel is Doom kernel v7, will try v5 asap, thx

DK v7 is source of these problems. Use v5 for a while and you'll see.

[Q] [HELP] XPERIA V Restart/Crash Issues

Hi I humbly ask for your help for my xperia V, Its my first time to use android and my current phones are iPhone and Blackberry and never had issues like this.
My xperia V phone is not rooted and has the updated firmware of 9.1.1A something. Hongkong Phone, Has the updated firmware from the box, so everytime I restore/factory reset, no need for updates.
My problem is my phone keeps crashing and restart like crazy 2-3 days ago. I downloaded an app named 'Root External 2 Internal SD' without even realizing my phone is not rooted because its my first time. And after that maybe the crashes started, everytime I restart, restore, my phone is just the same nothing changes. Restart after 1-5 mins and sometimes now crash when I am navigating around. In airplane mode, the phone works great and its not dying or anything, also I can use the phone as an mp3 player, camera, wifi, all good.
I just want an opinion from an expert I will post videos too, if needed.
My questions:
1. Did this app 'Root External 2 Internal SD' killed my phone because it was not rooted?
2. Do I need to root the phone to a fresh new ROM ?
3. If I dont need to root the phone(Warranty is not an issue) How do I restore it fresh from its stock Rom/Old ROM I feel I damaged it because of that application?
Any suggestion will help, please help me!!

There was no error in reset and factory reset because when it finishes up until the menu then it will start crashing. Does battery affect the ROM? Battery is in discharge. Airplane works like a charm. For now I use it like an Ipod touch. Wifi works, gps, all of the other stuff works except on Phone mode.
Im new I cant post screenshots

I have the same problem on Xperia T. I found that it stops reseting with baseband version last digits 57 and just loses the connection. On every other version of baseband it resets or falls in SoD.

I have the same problem in my XV..it works like a charm when it is in Airplane mode.

Thanks for the reply, yes i have correct files, still will try yours, (once it will boot then further i will deal easily) currently have given the phone to a local repair person, he said something is wonky with IC chip so ROM is not flashing properly.
Would try your thing soon, thanks!
