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] SG3 rooted and Unfortunatley messaging has stopped appeared

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727951
Dear Experts
My SGS3 (GT-I9305) was working flawlessly, only it wasn't rooted
Android version 4.1.2
I rooted it using : farmroot as below :

After rooting I uninstalled some applications from the phone that are safe to be removed based on the link below :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1
I ended up with two error messages initially :

Secondly with

My troubleshooting
1- Clear data for touch wiz no joy
2- Clear data for messaging no joy
3- I did backup using Titanium then I did a factory reset twice (via tow different ways)but still problem not fixed
Although I didn't restore anything yet via Titanium
Any other suggestions ? Did rooting create the problem ? Or removing apps ? Why reset didn't fix the issue ?
Thanks

Did you install a custom recovery and backup after root?

You need to restore your Nandroid backup .
Whatever you debloated you have removed some key components hence the messages .

Are saying I need to restore what I backuped via Titanium ? or something else ?

If you don't have that you can flash it with your firmware.
EDIT: I would have invested in mobile odin in that case. Makes life easier.

Anytime! And i would also clear data/cache and dalvik cache. It will erase your phone so it will be like new.
And install custom recovery and do a backup when you get all things running so you can restore your phone if something happens again..
Good luck!

[Q] how to install custom rom over the stock rom slot on safestrap kk?

I looked up and down but I dont see a trend on this I just want to make sure im doing it right so I dont brick my phone I made a back up of the stock rom. do I just wipe and flash the new rom over the stock rom slot?

Back up your stock rom first then factory reset in safestrap then flash . There are some videos on youtube about ss its older but it still works the same way . Just make sure your chosing the correct rom for your version .
Sent from my SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

personally i dirty flashed dynamickat from safestrap and havent had any issues, but to be safe you should back up the stock rom, and then just move the rom to the internal flash(as simple as dragging and dropping from windows) and then select it from the menu when you go to install, you can do a full wipe or you can see how a dirty flash works for you, just depends really

Read and read and follow directions to the "T" and you'll be fine. I backed up the stock rom first. Did the wipe in SS and then flashed the rom from from my sd card. Surprised how easy it was. I'm flashing like a mofo now lol. I always back up before flashing anything. Just my paranoia.

I just recently got root for official NC2 4.4.2. I want to flash Xnote12 port based off NC2 in the rom slot. Is this OK to do or no? I really don't want to mess with my stock slot. That's what got me in trouble and I ended up making the noobest mistake in wiping the stock slot with xnote12 and loading the JB xnote7 and my phone would not boot up. I ultimately had to send my phone to Samsung to fix it and they updated my firmware to the official NC2... (basterds).

I know I was real slow and wasnt thinking at that point in time But im not that slow. I flashed the JB bootloader ap and bl files before I booted the JB rom in the stock slot. Apparently the rom slots will not boot if the stock slot has no system. I didnt know that. Had I known I would be in a better circumstance with my xnote12. But thats neither here nor there. NC2 is rooted so im good. I just want xnote12 back Without wiping my true NC2 on stock slot. It appears hashcode hasnt got the stock slots working for kitkat yet tho...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51572014 i know you dont wanna touch stock slot but maybe you get the itch to flash xnote12 again. Link provided will get you back up and running if you mess up(hopefully not) again but it wont be stock nc2. You can still root it by installing the nc2 kernel and root with towelroot. This will come in handy for those oh sh!zzzt noments.

Sorry...I'm on the s5 active..and the reason I asked this method is because I was rooted with safe strap and wanted to unroot and take the OTA update. .well I tried all the methods mentioned in that post but Odin just stops at initializing and when I try going to the stock recovery and flashing the update there it's still NE4 not NG4. .so I'm kinda lost

You can get the official Samsung Lollipop N910T firmware at http://sammoobile.com
Then all you need is odin, cf-autoroot, and twrp recovery.
Here is a direct download link for the zip file package containing odin,
cf-autoroot and twrp in case you need them:
