I have a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000. It was giving me some problems with processor speed for sometime. Whenever I was wanting to do a slightly heavy work (e.g. clearing cache, cleaning junk on CM Security etc), it was going into a reboot. Thereafter, I zeroed in on the problem with CM security where it was doing rest everything correctly and was saying that there was too much junk on my phone (which was surprising cos it was scheduled for junk cleaning every alternate day) but as I was 'cleaning junk', it used to restart the phone.
Subsequent to this, i tried to go to app manager and tried to clear cache for heavier apps thinking it might b the reason for it slowing down but even before it could calculate cache and data allocation, it was restarting the phone.
When i tried to uninstall CM Security, it used to trigger the restart again.
Finally, I updated the CM Security to the latest version and as I did that, the phone went into an endless boot loop. Since then I have tried to recover it from the recovery mode through wipe cache partition but no joy. Had rooted the phone about 2 yrs back but I can't find the C-ROM. Can anyone help with the resolution of problem without the data loss from the phone?

Hi I am new to the Android market. I bought a Captivate last May read as many posts on how to flash a new rom to my phone. I flashed Firefly 3.0 to it in June. Everything was fine until a week and a half ago. I'm not sure what caused this, there was an update to TB that I downloaded, but I also deceided to change my boot animation to the Dark Blue. I did this but then deceided I liked the stock theme better and changed it back after a day or so. When the battery was low I put the phone on to charge over night, when I turned the phone on it went in to a boot loop. I put the phone in to recovery and re installed the rom.zip. The phone started to work again but was acting strange, so when I got home I re rooted, flashed back to stock and re installed Firefly 3.0 TB restored the phone, but when I set my ringtone and notifications etc, they would not save after I turned off the phone. I reset all thge ringtones and notifications and they stayed this time but |I now cannot download any apps or update apps, I keep getting out of memory error, even though I have about 11gb of memory on the internal sd and about 6gb on the exteral card. I apologize if this has been covered but I could not find any posts with the exact same issues. I'm reluctant to flash the rom again out of fear that I will have even less memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try, rebooting into recovery. Wipe cache and under advanced, wipe Dalvik cache. Reboot phone and wait while it rebuilds cache. Then go into applications. Find market and wipe data. When restoring from TiBu also make sure your not restoring SYSTEM data when you restore your apps.
Thanks for your help! I was able to download the swype beta again. I can't restore some of my old apps like ebay won't install, but new apps will, can't figure that one out. Thanks again for your help I really appreciate it!
Well, something interesting just happened with my CM7. I've beed running it for 4 days and it has been a completely different device (for the good). But 30min ago everything started force closing (3G Watchdog, Gmail, G+). I tried to reboot but then completely stuck. It couldn't move past the LG screen (just turned off). It wouldn't even boot into CWM. Then I realized if i kept the power button pressed, I can work my way through CWM. As soon as I released it, it will turn off. So I managed to wipe cache and dalvik from there and all of the sudden everything is back to normal.
At first I thought I lost EXT4 journaling, but just checked and it's still there. Did anyone face something similar? This was completely weird and freaky. I'm glad everything is OK.
never had such a problem or heard of it before. i know that when i flash a new build without wiping cache and dalvik my phone is very unstable. also a complete wipe and advanced restore data does wonders.

I wiped/factory restored before flashing CM (4 days ago). I noticed someone mentioned something similar (force closes and such) in the CM nightlies thread. I managed to check what was the reason of force closes (before I couldn't even boot) and every time it was because of SQLite error. Seems like apps weren't able to access their database files (which are in /data I suppose).
It really looks like a standard boot loop which happens sometimes after a installing a new build, but this was just out of the blue. Will see how it behaves in the next few days.
I just installed CM9 via the Novacom2 method. The tablet seems to reboot itself after a few minutes of being booted up for no apparent reason. I can start up the device, and not even touch one thing, and after a bit it will self reboot.
Anyone experiencing this? Should I do a reinstall? Novacom2 method, or a complete factory reset with CWM?
CM9 runs extremely smooth otherwise, but I can't have it up for more than 5 minutes with a self reboot. It's bizarre.
Thanks in advance people...
I meant ACMEInstaller2 where I wrote Novacom2 ....
The only time I got random reboot is if I try to overclock. I went to replace CWM with TWRP today, and checked in CPUspy something quick. I had 36 hours of up time (remember this only dropped 4 days ago). Initially I tried to OC, even only going one step up I got freezes, and reboots. But leaving it at stock frequencies I have zero stability issues.
I would say to start fresh. With a fresh downloaded copy. Go into CWM and wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, advanced > wipe dalvik, mounts > format system, data, cache, then reinstall, and install the charge fix. Then don't restore anything, and see if that fixes it.

that may be the route I go. After about 15 reboots it is currently holding steady I have not made any interventions.
As a side issue, I get email notifications but the email app crashes upon opening. Gmail works fine though....

I did a fresh start as above and the CM9 from is running problem free and 10x better than before when I had done the acmeinstaller2 method. Thanks button hit.

Try fixing permissions and wiping up cache from CWM, that fixes the reboots after power-on for me.
It used to do it if I left the screen to go off, but is fine now
I too am having reboot issues, but it only happens when I'm doing something. So far trying to open the Photoshop PS Touch app will cause a reboot, clicking settings in boat browser, etc. It's strange as hell.
I as well get the stock android mail client crashing when opened but its notifacations and gmail all work. I just installed maildroid and disabled stock email and seems to work OK

I have the same issue, but normally when the screen is on, it always reboots when I try to connect to usb storage, I have a galaxy s2 running on stable(nightly had too many bugs). anyone has the same problem?
I usually get reboots when I let the screen turn off due to inactivity. I tried installing TWRP and doing a clean install from there but it rebooted at the setup screen for CM9. I've had reboot issues since I first installed CM9, but its improved a little bit. I did try uninstalling android completely then reinstalling, but still got reboots. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
I think the best thing to do is use ACMEUninstaller to complete remove Android from your TP, then reinstall from scratch. I had reboot issues after upgrading from CM7a2 until I did a complete wipe.

Hi, all!
My Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830) running under a custom ROM The Ultimatum (I've been using this custom firmware for a few weeks now, with no real problems up until now), is bootlooping with no apparent reason. On a rare occasion, most apps on the phone stopped responding and would crash upon opening, and would require a restart before they worked again. Well this happened to me a few hours ago, so I decided to reboot my phone. After coming back to check my phone, I had found it was still booting. This has gone on for several hours now, and I've tried turning it on and off, removing batteries and everything. It's stuck in bootloop. I found this was odd, as I have had no dramas with the firmware I've been using. I have not made ANY recent changes to the phone whatsoever, so I can hardly believe it would be my fault.
Now, my question is; how do I fix this without wiping all data and installing a clean ROM? I have a lot of stuff in the internal storage I can't afford to lose, and it's really important to me. A full wipe of all data would not be ideal. I can access recovery mode.
I have tried a suggestion a user here made and made a nandroid backup, did a full wipe, reinstalled the ROM (which allowed me to get out of the bootloop) and then restored the data from the backup (which stuck me back in a bootloop). Still no idea and I really don't want to lose this data. If it's too much effort to fix the loop, is it possible to extract the data from the backups on a PC and manage to restore it to a clean wipe?
Thanks in advance!
Fixed my problem by doing a clean installation, and using Titanium Backup to extract the data from my nandroid backup. It was quite a simple solution, really. No idea why no one seemed to suggest it, though.
Oh well, my problem is solved.
hello there,
i recently installed cyanogen mod 11 (4.4 kitkat) on my phone via CWM. i used following guide to restore my data:
http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-to-retaining-data-after-flashing-a-new-rom.682090/ (basically just restoring my data through a cwm option).
however, the system keeps optimizing 78 apps on every boot. on the first boot it were around 170 apps. i tried some of the solutions on the internet, e.g wiping my dalvik cache (which leads to oprimizing the 170 apps again) or not charging while booting, needless to say none of them worked.
one solution i havent tried yet is to reinstall the apps. i would like to know if you have suggestions which may work. also please tell me if i you need any further information.

Have you tried:
Boot (and update), software shutdown, reboot? (i.e. select Power Off on the screen)
Boot (and update), hardware shutdown, reboot? (i.e. hold down the power button until it dies)
Boot (and update), remove and replace battery, reboot? (i.e. don't let the operating system shutdown properly at all)
Taking a backup after it's updated, then restoring from that backup?
Wiping regular cache as well as dalvik?
That's just "this might work" things I might try.
As for actually diagnosing the issue and prescribing a targeted response - that's beyond my expertise.
assuming with "update" you mean the optimization process: yeah, tried most of them except your fourth suggestion. going to try that one soon. even if it should not work, your answer is appreciated
