[Q] Experiencing random reboots w/ Semaphore kernel? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been running on stock CM10.1 since it was released. But, then, I wanted to try Semaphore. Alas, every time I flash it, after less then 3-4 hours, my SGS starts rebooting. I've tried it on like 10 or 12 different nightlies, starting from January. Any idea what's causing this? Any suggestions?
My specs are: SGS i9000, iNand version, CM10.1 latest nightly.
I must mention that i've even tried leaving Semaphore untouched after flashing, as in not changing any of the default settings. Sill, the same.
I hope you guys can help me out here. Thanks a lot!

I had same Problem only a full wipe solved it . Internal and external SD completly wiped.

Do a full wipe and cache and dalvik try then if not check semaphore settings with manager maybe some weird overclock settings

Already did full wipes w/ fresh install of CM10.1
As for Sema manager, I never did any OC on it.

Maybe your using the wrong kernel version check if your using the right one. S or no s version?

I used the non-S version, that's the one for CM10.1, isn't it?
This is bugging the hell outta me. I've tried 11 nightlies, including the M2 CM10.1. All the same, after no more than a few hours, the random rebooting starts.

Any other ideas?

@PB I've been experiencing the exact same issue with Semaphore for months.
I'm on a different variant (Vibrant), but the outcome is the same.
At this point, I've sort of given up & am chalking it up to something in the kernel (bigmem?) is incompatible with my particular device (kind of like how some phones can OC & remain stable while others of the exact same model cannot).
Did you ever figure out how to get it to play nice on yours? :fingers-crossed:

Random booting cyanogenmod 9

Have cappy1897 with ICS 4.0.4 cyanogenmod 9 nightly. Haven't done any nightlys. Worked fine for about a month then started to randomly reboot. Everything else works. What can I do to fix this?! Will I have to flash the kernal again.

Have you done any sort of overclocking recently? I don't know that I've ever ran a cm9 rom but given that you have run it for a month without problems then it just started I have to assume it's something that you've changed yourself. Typically on roms that I've used and tried to overclock sometimes it will run smoothly for a while and then start rebooting at random and sometimes it will start rebooting immediately after the change.
Thanks for the response. Actually my husband and I have IDENTICAL phones. I do the flashing and keep them running. He is 83 and just wants ti olay smile. It is his phone eith the problem. I asked him if he installed anything or made any changes and he said no. When I read him you response he said he thinks he ovetclocked his phone. He is checking it out noe. Thanks a bunch I'm sure it is something he has done.

I have been running CyanogenMod 9.0.0 stable on my i897 for 1 1/2 months with no problems. I tried CM 9.1.1 stable, but the menu popped up randomly and the phone vibrated while it was laying untouched. So, I went back to CM 9.0.0.

[Q] Slimbean / SpeedyGonzales and virtual memory swapfiles

I've just gotten around to loading the Slimbean ROM on my Exhibit II, and I'm loving it! Really awesome.
But still wondering, like in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33081432&postcount=2103, if it is possible to set up a virtual memory swap file with these kernels at all.
I'm still on the original kernel as part of the Slimbean ROM, since I had some odd troubles with the SpeedyGonzales ones (the 1.5 version never gets past the boot animation, and the other one does boot but WIFI is dead).
Is it possible?
only using custom kernel and using the swap mod i did but is no longer posted

Are they going to be re-posted somewhere?
I just tried the SpeedyGonzalez_OC.zip kernel again (I think this is 1.4?) that I downloaded from Blownco. It boots and I get all the OC options, but it still kills my wifi. I never loaded the OTA update to go to the UVLG3 update (I'm still on the original). Could that be why my wifi dies with the OC kernel?
Couldn't he just flash jocala ps then upgrade

I went through re-flashing it, using Peach Sunrise long enough to get the new baseband version.
Unfortunately, it still won't let WIFI work.

[Q] Is my Tab dead?

I've been running CM 10.1 on my 7310 for a couple of months - it's slow, but it does the job.
Today it started misbehaving more than usual, so I rebooted. It's spent the afternoon rebooting itself about once every five minutes - freeze and hard reboot (Samsung splash screen). I tried different versions of CM and AOKP to figure out if it was hardware or software, no change.
I wiped it and flashed CM 9 nightlies a couple of hours ago, and got the same behaviour. After some googling I found aLogrec and turned it on. As soon as it boots and tries to start recording the logcat, it hard reboots. I figure the onboard flash storage is borked - is there anything I can do? I can't even get it to boot into Recovery, it just loops forever.
I'm hoping someone out there can give me some ideas before I go out and spend on a Nexus 7..
Have you tried to see what happens if you install official ICS with Odin?

You could see if odin still recognize it and fish a stock rom. But by the sound of it I think you're sol.

Odin recognised it and has flashed the right ICS official, but it just sits on a glowing Samsung logo.
Odp: [Q] Is my Tab dead?
I will wipe all data/cache from recovery and see if that works, but I'm not so experienced and you should wait for someone with proper knowledge to give you advice But you just might give it a try
First thing I tried, but thanks for the suggestion

I just applied the Honeycomb 3.2 shipped image using Odin and it seems to be working. Going to attempt to reapply CWM and flash an ICS build now..
Glad to hear it worked out for you.

It's been stable on the CM10.1 M2 build all day. I don't know why the official 4.0.4 firmware didn't work, but I'm glad I tried 3.2 before giving up.
Thanks again to everyone who offered suggestions.

Be a ninja and paste the link to the rom you used. I've borked my upgrade too. I can get in to loki for oden to send the rom, just need the rom that will work with oden.
Thanks,

I flashed the 4.0.4 from here and it didn't work, so I tried the 3.2 and restored it to shipped state using Odin. After that I rooted and reinstalled CWM with Odin, and then flashed the CM 10.1 M2 build from the Development forum here the usual way (copy to SDcard, reboot recovery).
Good. I should have mentioned you have to start with gingerbread. Could have saved you a step.

[Q] AOIP 8/3, 8/10, and now 6/3 reboots during app uninstall and data toggle

Hi all,
I've been using AOIP on my Exhibit since June... and have loved it, but I've recently had some reboot/crash problems.
Upon uninstalling an app or toggling cellular data off (and only off... turning it on has no effect and if the wifi turns data off I still see the same effect), the phone crashes and reboots immediately. There may be a couple more causes, but I haven't pin pointed them.
This had first occurred when I installed the 8/3 release without a full wipe. I performed a full wipe, flashed 8/3, and still experienced heavy crashing. I reverted to the 6/3 release and didn't have problems. I tried the same sequence with the same results with the 8/10 release a couple of weeks ago. I've again reverted to 6/3 without problems...
Then this morning, I noticed that my wallpaper had been reset over night (suggesting a crash) and now the phone crashes under the same scenarios mentioned above.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - I've enjoyed the ROM and hope this has been addressed with other folks and has yielded a simple solution...although I haven't seen this problem in any forums.

First, only wipe cache partition + flash the new ROM. Then, once I saw some crashing, wipe data/factor reset + wipe cache partition + flash new ROM.
I had a wallpaper reset, too. I didn't know what it might mean. Why would that indicate a crash?

I'm running the ocuvhm kernel and it works flawless stopped most of my problems.
If you've been here long enough you'll know that some of our phones work well with OC kernels and since don't. As suggested, I recommend flashing the stock kernel (white screen) and see if that solves your problem. If it does good, if not try a different thing. Make a nandroid first.

Then try another rom and see if it does the same thing. If not, I say backup your external SD card to your computer then wipe everything including your SD card and start fresh and see if that helps.
Try TWRP instead of CMW just for the heck of it. I would try downloading everything again just to be sure

I've flashed camory's CM10 for the phone, and things seem to be running smoothly, although the new Maps (7.0) freezes up things.
I supposed I'll stick with this ROM and try out AOIP again if another version is released. Thanks for the help - try to keep me posted if this problem turns out to be repeatable and addressable...

Maps is annoying

I tried upgrading from 6.9 to 7.5, but had the same screen shudder issues, so i was downgrading, again. i went for 6.14 this time, but for some reason it's not installing. I have tried a couple of different downloads with ES File Explorer and each has failed to install. Really annoying. I will try to flash it in recovery, from the zip, but I don't have very high hopes. Any ideas?
Edit: I'm an idiot. I hadn't uninstalled 7.5..... Everything's cool.

use any cm ION based rom. if you have troubles with installing cm11 or it bugs out on you. try using the adc kernel in cm mass op or cm10.1 or 10.2. CM10.2 now has ion kernel and imo is now better than 10.1 and aoip

I tried it only after installing cars1198's hybrid kernel. That kernel made the phone run faster and use less battery. If wifi worked, I'd be all over it. As it is, I went back to my old kernel and got my WiFi back. Still might use the hybrid kernel. Just have not decided. Maps was not smooth with it, though, with the screen showing static.
