Hello to all!
First of all thank u xda for beeing so usefull to all android users (like me).
I bought my s plus in April, one week later i´ve sucessfuly rooted (thanks to xda developers ).
Unfortenely this model by samsung isnt popular in my country (Portugal) and this time I could really need your help.
My s plus auto restarts. Sometimes 1x month, 1x week, today por example it restarts 3x in 1 minute. I know when he restarts because i hear the welcome song from samsung.
My question is, is there something I could do to solve this problem?
And the second questions is, what are the benefits of having a new rom. And if it solves problems like this one in particular.
The last question : there´s a app that does "fix permissions". Could this be the source to my smartphone restart??
THANK YOU
First, what ROM do you use? Is it brand one, (i.e you didn't change it since you bought the phone)?
Secod, which apps did you give a superuser permission? For example Invalid or infected app with root access could cause this. Generally rooting your phone means you can easily mess up something (you are administrator, so you can access ALL system files). Try to do a factory reset (for example hard reset with the code *2767*3855# - be advised in will delete EVERYTHING exept your external sdcard and get rid of ROOT) and then install only those apps you trust.
Yes, changing ROM could fix this problem in particular, the same way reinstalling operating system (e.g Windows) can fix a computer if it misbehaves. However this could also be a hardware problem, and in this case flashing ROM won't help and you should take your phone to manufacturer on warranty.
On the other hand it is good to flash custom ROM on i9001 because this phone has a good potential, and custom ROMs will give you a lot of advantages over brand ROM.
Fix permissions is a script which ensures that every App and App data are on their place - matching themselves. If used properly it rather fixes problems than causing them (I used this option a lot), but I am not specialist at this matter.
Hi there.
Thank you so much for the reply!!
The rom of my smartphone its the brand one.
Other specs : Firmware : 2.3.5
Gingerbread.bukp2
I have installed the app superuser + link2sd after I rooted. So i think all the programs have permission. Each time i install a app, it goes to sd card.
I was avoyding a factory reset. I will only do that if there is no other option. And when I do, i will get rid of root and go to the vodafone store with its warranty.
I allready see that there are a lot of roms for the i9001 . I agree with you, there are a lot of pottencial in this phone. What sould i choose? And to install other rom, will it erase all data??
I have the app ROM MANAGER. I never used because i´m afraid not using it right. There is a option that says : "fix permissions".
So..lol....can you give me some advice??
Thank you

Hi there.
So i´ve found several websites that explains how to update to 2.3.6
I have a question, I´m from Portugal and in here there are no oficial updates from samsung, the latest its 2.3.5 .
Can i install a version from other country in Europe? Portuguese language??
Thanks
Don't be afraid o losing data - that's what backups are for. Flashing new ROM means losing all data - system partitions, apps, settings, contacts, call history, sms, and your internal sdcard (/sdcard partition). External sdcard (/emmc partition) is not touched.
Find a "Flashing a ROM" guide on this forum, read read and read it again. Then you will know pretty much everything needed to flash a new ROM.
There is a good site to begin with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001

Hehe, that's how fixing thing work. Maybe it'll work, maybe not
Some other guy claims that its the problem of brand 2.3.3 ROM, so factory reset WON'T solve this problem in my opinion. You have to flash new ROM. What can I suggest?
If you are not afraid o losing warranty (I wasn't) I'd install MoonROM or BroodROM. These are heavily modified custom ROMs, that are very stable, battery friendly, very popular, very customizable, tested many times and considered best. Note that replacing brand ROM voids your warranty, but you can backup your brand ROM with recovery (e.g TWRP - Team Win Recovery Project) and restore it anytime you want (restoring your warranty as well).
If you don't want to lose warranty, it's good to install Stock ROM. It is official ROM released by Samsung, but not ported by your service provider. On this site, there is also list of Stock ROMs. Almost all of them have european languages.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Gingerbread_2.3.6
XXKQ1 is most stable and best Stock ROM so far.
XXKQB or XXKQE are prettier (value pack) but more buggy and less stable
Cheers
Edit: Don't use Kies to flash a new ROM. I soft-bricked my phone with it. Flash via Odin or via Recovery
I haven't backup of my stock rom. Now my USB it is broken. Is it possible to flash a backup stock rom to send my phone in warranty?
Thank u so much for beeing so usefull!
I will try a flashing rom!
I have one last question : do i need to unroot my phone before flashing a new rom ? The costumized roms gives us superuser permissions ? I rooted my phone so i can pass the apps to the sd card and to unistall apps like "sims trial...".
Maybe tomorrow i will try to flash a rom, but first i need to know this
Thanks a lot

You don't need to unroot to flash a rom

Can anyone please advise, my wifes xperia z recently received the ota update 4.3, which worked fine it seemed at first but we noticed the unability to tether to her laptop. my xperia t which is on the same network is fine. After various attemps to sort this out ie factory reset/ deleted some apps. I decided to repair using pc companion, which I did this morning, and guess what (no change?). I really didn't want to go down the same route as myself with custom roms but somehow this has left me with no other option. so I downloaded a 4.12 stock ftf and have flashed this using flashtool. And guess what, ( tethering is now working? ). I have now rooted and installed cwm, I have also downloaded dual recovery ver, 2.7.86. for locked bootloader to install to ext sd. Now am unsure which rom is suitable like stock as she is still new to her phone and still learning. I would appreciate any advise or comments. thanks in advance.
If.she likes stock try flashing stock 4.3 with full wipe you might had bad ota update

thanks, I thought this aswell. I have installed SuperHanss stock version, just in case she turns out to be a bit of a teckie
Dear community,
I have some issues with my current rom / kernel / radio.
What I think I need to do is a full wipe / factory reset, in the most brutal way.
Now my question is, do I just wipe everything in recovery, or is there a better way?
When everything is wiped, is the rom gone, or just the data?
And, my last, but most impotant question is:
Can someone help me find the most recent stock rom (I have searched, but cant find the right one) for my C6603 (with kernel?) (I live in Holland, with Telfort as a provider)
I have downloaded latest doomkernel, stock. (Can I use this, or should I use another one?)
I need the most stable rom, cause everything seems to be wrong at this moment for me.
Thnx in advance,
James

You can use doomkernel when you have an unlocked bootloader and
in recovery wiped system/cache/data and flash this prerooted rom with dualrecovery and full stability.

Thnx, gonna try that tomorrow!
Hi guys!
I feel the urge to try a custom ROM. I´m used to fiddle with these things on Samsung but I feel a little nervous doing it on my Xperia.
Here´s the deal: I have *230 stock firmware ODEXED with a CWM recovery. It also has the bootloader unlocked.
If I make a full backup from recovery, can I really just restore it on the Xperia if I´m not happy with the ROM I´m about to flash? The reason I´m asking is that I have to flash another kernel with the new ROM. Is it really possible to just restore everything that easy afterwards?
Thanx!

LOL! i have the same question!!
but i tried to backup the DATA ONLY (better) with TWRP(worked fine) but i restored it when i was on the same rom that i backed up from! not sure if it will work or not on another one!
but the better to select backup data only from recovery! and use TWRP!
and when i restored it... and BOOM!!! IN 167 SECs MY PHONE AND APPS AND GAMES AND MASSAGES AND CONTACTS AND SETTINGS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS BACK AS IT WAS BEFORE!!!
Send form my Xperia™ Z (C6602) using tapatalk?

dude it's probably rom related. i don't know if you use custom rom or stock but download the latest stock via xperifirm and flash it using flashtool. this is gonna probably solve your problem.
i manage to root it
now i need to find what to do next
switch location and wifi off.
use only if necessary.
Try combain 3app [batterbattery+Greenify+Amplify]
And dont forget install [Gravityscreen]
