Huawei U9000 european version incredibly unstable - Huawei Ideos X6

Ever since I got this phone in 2011, it's never worked properly.
When I was running the standard software (2.3) it still crashed regularly without notice, it might have taken an hour, 20 seconds from reboot or go a full day.
After I went back to the electronics store I bought it from, they sent it to be repaired and came back just the same, completely useless.
This repeated itself several times untill I couldnt be arsed to try anymore.
So I rooted the phone and installed probably 10-15 different versions of android without much luck.
I've already gotten a new phone and i'm no longer using the Huawei handset, but I'm mostly just curious to see if anyone else have experienced the same issues that I have. I've been looking around the internet but i've been unable to come across any forum threads.
Would be nice to have a backup phone, but at the moment it's useless.

no such problems seen in two years of usage still my x6 runs like a new one apart from few scratches
i was on stock firmware very very long back but had few random reboots (2.3)
try using sharp modded stock firmware it is the most stable as of today.sill if u have reboots in sharp you can conclude that the problem is with the HARDWARE

Hi,
I have been using this phone (Spice MI-410) since 2 years. No major issues.
Tried out a lot of custom ROMs. Currently am running MIUI 2.4.13 v7.
Suggest you try out this ROM, but please ensure that you follow all steps required for installing the custom ROM.
As a start, please find the steps below:
1. Put the downloaded new rom. (.zip) to your SD card
2. Install Tjstyle RC3 via SUT 1.8 (RC3 comes with CWM preinstalled.)
3. Go to 'backup and restore ' and take a backup
4. Format Data, Cache and Dalvik
5. Install the zip from SD card
6. Reboot system and you are done
7. Reboot once again and login to your google account
Cheers...

I installed the latest version of the sharp firmware, and at the moment it seems to actually be working.
I find it kind of funny that this firmware is more stable than the factory provided one to be honest.
I'll update the thread if there are any huge changes to the stability.
Thank you both for the advice, it's nice to have a working handset again.

Constant rebooting

i have had my ATT N1 for a few months now and all has been great. I rooted awhile back and have been using Cyanogen 5.0.7 to great success. I have the pershoot kernal and never really had any issues.
Well, that has all changed. Recently I have been rebooting any many different occasions. It almost always does it when I am in Maps and navigation, which is not good because I need it in my life having relocated.
I have decided that maybe I will look to update my Cyanogen or maybe go over to 2.2. I did this today and still having these issues. I tried Kang and it still rebooted randomly and when I tried Modacos r17 it just would keep rebooting at the setup screen. I think that has to do with not having the stock kernal.
Any clues as to what is happening? I really need help and do not want to stop using Android, but I need my phone to be reliable.
If it happens on any ROM and with no correlation to anything - sounds like HW problem.
Did you use overclocked kernel?
I do have a overclocked under volted kernal
sounds like bad sw. get back to stock 2.1 update 1 (if you can) and see if your phone is stable...
WIPE all ( everything ) , and flash 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692609
Follow those 3 easy steps there !
Does your phone lock up (unresponsive) before rebooting?
Phone doesnt lock up. I tried wiping evertyhing but could not wipe the sd partition. Is that necessary? I have done full wipe's (data, dalvik, & cache) and still had similar results. I have updated my kernal to the newest pershoot and I installed Kang .9b1 and so far have only had 1 rebbot. It happened when I was in the browser and went to a flash heavy site to see how it worked. Is there any 2.2 roms that keep it close to stock? I am not a total fan of adw launcher.
Have a look in this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703687
I'm really determined to figure out what is causing this issue for so many people! I've managed to cure my reboots for the time being, and it seems it is kernel related. That said, we need as many people as possible to give feedback as experiences seem to differ in regards to the ROMs and Kernels people are using.
Regards.
I looked over that thread and see some similarities but it is still not totally consistent with my issues. I am running Kang now fine but still have reboots that I won't call so random anymore. It happens when I use Maps for the first time, and definitely when I go to a flash site on the browser.
I cannot successfully use any other ROM since once I install it it goes into boot loop. This is driving me crazy and do not like the thought of being stuck to one ROM since it is the complete reason I bought this phone.

Does anyone knows how to stop rebooting problem?

I am now using the Original Stock ROM and downloaded several Apps. After few days, it just gave me headache because of rebooting issues.
I downloaded already the following files:
CWM 5.0.7
Titanium Backups
BusyBox
SuperUser
But still, I encountered rebooting problem.
Can somebody help me?
If this one solve, then, I will add the solution to my Official Thread.
Thanks in advance Guys.
im on v20m stock rom...rooted but havent flash any clockwork recovery...so far havent got any reboot and in fact its the most stable ROM i use so far(from v20f stock to cm7 to cm9 to v20j stock to v20m stock)
what stock version do you have?
you said it started after downloading certain apps...try uninstalling those then check if it will still reboot.
last i would recommend is smartflash the stock rom again
In my experience, I've had random reboots for a number of different reasons. It's hard to tell what may be the cause just based on your description. Please provide more details. For example, Does it boot at all and then reboot after some use? Or are you stuck at the boot animation and cannot go to the home screen at all?
And when you said you are on stock ROM, is it the same stock you had before? Or is it a different one?
To share some of the reasons I've had in the past...
1) Incompatible kernel (may not be your problem since you are on stock)
2) Overheating (usually due to overclocking too rigorously and/or wall charging)
3) Messing up with settings somewhere
And as chupi said, just basing on what you wrote, it may be related to one or a combination of the apps you installed. Or, there may be just a bad combination of the apps that you are using.
I hope you have a backup prior to the app installation. That should help narrow down things, or at least go back to the pre-problem stage.

It is Okay now. I think, it is because of Fruit Ninja, Half Brick application. So, I just uninstalled it.
Also, I disable Background Apps of Yahoo Mail.
Everything is now OK.

I think, some applications are not suitable for SU660. Right now, I just uninstalled the Fruit Ninja (Half Brick) and disabled the Background Apps of Yahoo Mail. Everything is Ok Now.
I recharge it through my laptop.

I have the same problem. It regularly happens when Im playing games but when the weather is cold for some reason, it rarely happens. must be hardware.

[Q] Avatar rom (CM10.1) for Droid 3 questions

Hello everyone,
Not quite sure where else to put this, but I can't reply in the android dev thread since I am a new member.
I flashed (using SafeStrap 3.05) the newest stable Avatar rom for D3 (using CM 10.1 and android 4.2.2 I think) and it booted ok, mostly everything seemed to work fine (except for camera but that seems to be expected) however I have absolutely no cell service. Not even just data, but the basic cell service for texts and calls isn't on. I tried doing the Verizon activation call, but it would tell me to turn airplane mode off, (which I did, but it either seemed to turn itself back on or not matter if it was on or off anyways).
Has anyone else had this problem and has a work around for it?
Thank you

Do you have a sim card in the phone? This was an issue with some Jellybean/ICS roms. It happens to me as well. For some reason when placing a sim card in the phone(it doesn't need to be active) it allows your phone to get reception.

Hey, so this was my process.
First, I made sure that the stock software on the phone was up to date. I did this since that way if you have to go back to stock, you are on the latest version, and you can confirm that you are using the correct rooting application. The root tool I link to below will work on 5.7.906 which I believe is the latest.
Second, root your phone. You will need to go HERE to download the tool. Follow the instructions on the page, and it should go fine. The phone will reboot several times during the process, this is normal. Once the program says it is done, you can go check for the Superuser application in your app drawer (it might be SuperSU or something similar, I can't quite remember).
After you have root access on your phone download the safestrap application for Droid 3 HERE. Make sure you get the one that is specifically for Droid 3. Transfer that file (should be called Droid3Safestrap-3.05.apk) onto your phone.
There are a few ways to transfer files onto your phone. You will also need to do this later to transfer the .zip of whatever ROM you decide on). If you have a micro-sd card that you can put into your computer, that works. Or, you can have the phone on and plug it into the computer and transfer it that way. I believe you can transfer to either the micro SD or the internal memory. I prefer micro SD since you might want to wipe the internal memory to fix things or switch ROMs.
After the .apk is transferred find where you put it using a file manager (I personally use Root Explorer but I think Astro or stock will work), and install it. Go to the new app and run it and it should request root access, which you grant, and it should flash the recovery.
Once you have the recovery installed you can install whatever custom ROM you want, pretty easily. Safestrap is great because even if you screw up the ROM somehow, you can always just boot back into Stock.
Here is where you'll have to chose what custom ROM you want. Now as far as I know, the Droid 3 is fairly limited in its ROM selection. It does have a Cyanogen Mod 10 version, but it is not a stable version and in my experience, doesn't run super great. If you want to try Cyanogen Mod 10, I actually suggest you get the Avatar Rom variant HERE, but keep in mind that apparently you do need a SIM card inserted for the cell signal to work at all. Overall it did seem to run fairly choppy but they are still releasing newer nightly versions (July 20th was the last) so it might have gotten better. One thing to know about these ones is that the camera does not work at all, so if that matters to you just skip these.
Now those two (CM 10 and avatar) are ROMS that will bring the droid 3 up to Android 4.2 Jellybean. If you don't care about getting up to the latest version (Jellybean actually isn't the latest anymore but still pretty darn close), then there are a few other Gingerbread ROMS out there that work a bit better.
HERE is a list of a few other droid 3 ROMs, my favorite Gingerbread one that worked overall really well and stable was Steel Droid. Otherwise, you can just look around and see what's available or what other people are suggesting. Choose your ROM (or several, it's fairly easy to install them so try a few!), and download it. You should get a .zip that is approx. 150-170 MB in size. As an aside you will probably also want to download the corresponding GApps package HERE and put that on the SD card as well. I think some ROMs have that included, but if you boot into a room and it doesn't have the Play store installed, you need to go back into safestrap and install the GApps package over it. You don't have to delete and recreate the rom slot, just go back into install and install it over. When I say corresponding, the different packages go with different versions of Android so for example the one labelled 20110307 would go with Android 2.3.4 which is Gingerbread, the version that Steel Droid uses.
For whichever one you choose, the install process is mostly the same. Reboot your phone, and after the Motorola Logo comes up, you should see the Safestrap splash screen. To get into the recovery menu you have to hit the "Menu" soft-key (the one all the way on the left) within 10 seconds so keep an eye on it.
From the recovery menu go into "Boot Options" You should see 5 options, rom-slot 1-4 and Stock. When you want to switch what ROM you are booting you select on the corresponding slot, and hit activate, then you can reboot through the menu option and it will start that ROM.
To install you will go into "Boot Options" chose whichever rom slot you want (most likely #1). You will have to create that slot, which can take a few minutes. After the slot is created, back out of boot options, and go to "Install". Find the .zip of whichever ROM you chose, and select that to install, and then you can install the corresponding GApps package.
After the install is complete, you can reboot (make sure it says rom slot 1 is selected up to), and it should boot into the Setup process of the ROM. If you ever need to go back to stock, just reboot, go back into Safestrap > Boot options, activate the "Stock" one and boot into that.
A few notes, if you want to switch ROMs, or install multiple ROMs you can do that using the different rom slots with a few exceptions. The Cyanogen Mod 10 and the Avatar Rom (most Jelly bean ones I think) have to be installed in rom slot 1, so if you're doing those and another like Steel Droid, put the Jellybean one in rom slot 1 and the Gingerbread on in rom slot 2. Also if you want to install a different ROM, it's generally best to just completely erase the rom slot and recreate it, then install the different ROM in the newly created rom slot. You can always create backups with Safestrap and restore them with Safestrap. Oh and make sure your phone has a decent charge before doing a lot of the safestrap stuff (I would say at least 60%) you can also have the phone plugged in while doing this stuff, but I'm not always confident it is charging so try and get it charged up before hand.
Finally, if you ever mess up to the point where you're worried that you broke the phone, (boot loops or it is stuck on the Motorola Logo) you can download this restore tool HERE. This should completely wipe and restore the stock software on your phone. It will bring it back one version previous though, so be sure to go through the standard update process to bring it back to 5.7.906 so that the root tool will work. This tool has saved me a few times and is pretty easy to run.
Sorry, I know that is a lot of stuff and looks pretty scary. It really is just a few steps that you should research and make sure you are comfortable doing.
1: Get Root access on the stock software on the phone
2: Install safestrap and flash the custom recovery
3: Boot into recovery and install whichever custom ROM you want
If you have any questions feel free to ask!
Much appreciated !!! ..... i will try these steps as soon as i get my phone..... hope it doesnt make a difference if my D3 is an unlocked GSM phone because all service providers in my country uses GSM

if you are using gms you may need Rom version with a modified build prop, most of the roms threads will have a modified version for GMS, in the OP or somewhere in the thread. if you can't find it just ask in the original rom thread

I9305 Stock - Hangs,turns off and all media related things crashes....help please!!!!

Hello everyone, Thank you for taking your time to look at thi and sorry for my bad english.
I have used my I9305 for 4 months until now without any fault. It was on official 4.1.2 XXBME3 stock rom with stock kernel but rooted, Philz Touch recovery. I have flashed PAC and Sentinel Rom before(2 months ago I think) but didnt stay on them as they had bugs to use as a daily driver. So it was on always stock.
And now, from 4 days ago, phone began to get laggy and everything suddenly force closes. Even though it had 2gb ram, dolphin browser get closes if i pressed home button. and after a day, it began to drain battery even in sleep and then after display time out, it goes to sleep and then turns off itself and battery gets very hot in that state. And I noticed that sound not coming out from speaker when ringing or I cant open music player or video player or voice recorder as the phone hangs and then reboots and after boot up, again reboots in like within 5 minute intervals.
So here What I tried,
1. Flashed stock from samsung updates firmware sites via ODIN 1.85. And yes I wiped everything before rom flash incl. Cache,Dalvik Cache, Data,SD card, System and everything except EFS partition as listed in philz recovery.
Result - Still no luck, reboots randomely, battery getting hot, music player video player crashes(video player doesn;t crash but when tried to play video it says cant play this video)
2. Again Rooted, installed TWRP and wiped Everything I could find and flashed stock again.(When wiping, TWRP fails to wipe data where it says type yes to wipe saying failed to format....unknown format and failed to remove encryption)
Result - Same again.
3. Flashed stock again without wiping. Result - Same.
4. Rooted, installed recovery, wiped everything and flashed PAC latest nightlies. stll same. Then flashed sentinel but same.
5. After trying 5 6 times flashing stock, I gave up and now its on Stock 4.1.2 BME3 and removed binary counter and ready to go for warranty claim.
But I still will to make this myself as it will take 2 weeks to get back to me if I give it to the retailer. So can you please help me guys. Thank you again.
Faqs and guides return to stock for warranty post and return to service .
Or just mess about for weeks and achieve nothing .
Thank you,
Yes, its returned to stock as mentioned. But may I know what cause this? cuz I use a S2 for years now and nothing wrong with it. So I think I know how to properly use android. I searched a lot. but sees lot of people complaining but no solution.

Note 4 - Most stable ROM (custom or stock)

Hey guys, been a while since I've been here.
Currently, I'm running stock android 6.0.1 (N910FXXU1DPB1) on my Note 4 (Snapdragon).
I flashed this via Odin (because back then it wasn't released in my country yet). Did the usual, clean reset and when i flashed there were no problems (besides meh battery time). But since a week or two I'm having a lot of problems, a lot of random reboots, reboot time is way too long, battery drainage is awful and random freezes. A lot of these problems occur when using snapchat, not sure why.
So now I'm wondering what is the most stable ROM around. Battery life and smoothness are most important to me. At this point, I don't really care if it's a custom ROM or stock. With my old phone (S3) i had a lot of problems after i started running custom ROMs so I'm hoping you guys have some options where this won't happen.
Thanks in advance, Sam
BTW: Sorry for my bad English, it's not my main language.
Another weird thing happened. Just installed TWRP (once again via Odin), but when I reboot into recovery, I first get the message 'installing system update', then it says 'no command' and then it reboots in Android Recovery. Any ideas how to solve this?
Note 4 sucks after this MM update it is worst than any other small budget phone.

I use and have been using Alexndr's ROM's for ages! They are reliable have plenty of options (root/no root, odexed/deodexed, xposed or not) ... he regularly updates and sorts out peoples' problems (although I have never had one) and produces a very stable ROM.
His instructions are clear and easily understood and he knows what he is doing! My favourite ROM maker ... Thanks Alexndr!!

I've been running Marshmallow on my N910C since it was released for my device, and I haven't experienced any major problems with it. Other than not getting the official OEM spare battery to charge correctly on it. Everything is work just fine.
I've been running the MM PaulPizz Rom for a few days and it's been rock solid so far. Not a single crash or error.

Try this. When in Odin, uncheck auto reboot, flash twrp, wait for it to finish, unplug phone, pull battery, then boot into recovery by holding vol up+home+power.
Recovery should stick
Also, double check you have right twrp. Even re download, maybe you got bad download

Alright man, I will try that tomorrow.
I think the download should be okay, downloaded V3.12.3 a few hours ago, or do I need a different one?
And should I also do this if I get the message that there's no PIT partition?
Thanks for your help, I'll let you know if it works or not.

I always use 3.11.1 straight from Sam mobile site. Here http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.11.1.zip
Never had a problem with it.
Stock ROM's all the way.
I've used KK, LL and MM. After upgrading to MM (by mistake) and using it for 2 weeks, had to throw it away! MM is the worst case ever! I've went even back to KK, used about 2 days and went finally for 5.1.1 - best case ever! No lag, no "app stop working", no delay (which with MM was about 3 secs between opening closing apps). But, the 5.1.1 has a little distress about battery drain (about 5% more than KK or MM). Is the only thing is keeping LL for being best version. If you rollback from MM to LL or KK, you MUST untick Auto Reboot! Just let the flash go till the end and then take the battery out; put it back, start with recovery and wipe everything prior booting normally. And for the downgrade you have to use:
1. from MM to LL - Odin 3.11
2. from MM to KK - Odin 3.09
After trying myriad of roms(Almost all roms from Snapdragon section) + kernels, I prefer Stock rom for it's batterylife + stable performance. I haven't rooted after returning to stock. But i will return some sort of custom rom soon as my phone looks so boring without ported apps, multi dpi compatible apps, etc. If u prefer stable performance move to pure stock, If u need assortment of features use one of the ported note7/S7 roms, If u want slick and fast roms use AOSP/CM based roms but as far my experience goes they are not much stable while compared to touchwiz.
Currently running latest MM stock on 910G.

Stock ROM's all the way.
I've used KK, LL and MM. After upgrading to MM (by mistake) and using it for 2 weeks, had to throw it away! MM is the worst case ever! I've went even back to KK, used about 2 days and went finally for 5.1.1 - best case ever! No lag, no "app stop working", no delay (which with MM was about 3 secs between opening closing apps).

Using Odin 3.11 to downgrade from MM to KK works just fine. I just did 2 days ago.
I had errors with 3.11; once changed to 3.09 worked like a charm. I've posted from my experience. Anyway, good to know other opinions and good to know that works either way (maybe my system had some conflict with vs. 3.11). However, that downgrade was done only to my first device, not the second one. I still keep MM on my second N4.

Try this. When in Odin, uncheck auto reboot, flash twrp, wait for it to finish, unplug phone, pull battery, then boot into recovery by holding vol up+home+power.
Recovery should stick
Also, double check you have right twrp. Even re download, maybe you got bad download

This did the trick, thanks a lot! I finally got to flash TWRP and ended up installing Alexndr ROM (thanks for the tip @robmeik) but sadly I'm still having random reboots
