yesterday, I pluged in my charger and started browsing.
at one moment phone freezed, purple led flashed and phone rebooted
after that a lot of apps I had installed are missing. among them are gmail, google search widget, play store, titanium backup, some office from market (can't remember which) ...
and one widget I use can't be loaded on startup but if I remove it and add again it works.
I tried all I can think off except factory reset.
I tried deleting cache, dalvik cache, switched app2sd off (which were on, although I remember leaving it off), fixed permissions from recovery ...
I even reinstalled kernel and ROM and gapps, but no change at all which is really strange.
I use MiniCM7-2.2.0 ROM and 2.6.29.6-nAa-11 kernel
SD card is working, I can browse files and swap is working.
It also seems that rebooting doesn't work well. Sometimes, I choose reboot but it doesn't boot up until I pull out battery and press power button.
I'm not sure if this is connected because I didn't reboot much phone with this kernel and ROM
Any ideas before I wipe data?
Overclocked ?

Apps2sd that's why ur apps r gone. Full wipe and reflash rom. Reboot issue can be fixed with latest flashtool reflash kernel with that. Worked for me no reboot problems no more
Hit thanx if I helped
Sent from my E15i using XDA
thank you for fast replies
phone is not overclocked.
I also guess it has something to do with app2SD
but I do not use it.
when I installed ROM I wanted to use Link2SD but it couldn't work because of build in App2SD.
I tried that App2SD but I couldn't control which apps to move, I even didn't exactly understood how it works, so I gave up of it.
Everything worked until yesterday.
and I only browsed internet when this happened. what could go wrong?
Is there a way to fix this before I wipe the whole thing?
I would like to make some backups and for that I need missing apps.
thank you
Oh,
and the strangest thing to me is that even after I reflash gapps, I don't have any google apps (at least which I use) except google talk
Try this:
Root again your phone with SuperOneClick.
Go to Settings >CM Settings >Performance >a2sd, and deactivate it. Then, activate it again.
Reboot.
Hopefully... it will fix your problem (worked for me ).
any particular version of superoneclick I should use? I tried one I have (which I used to root my phone a long time ago) and it fails to root it.
but why do you think I should root again? This is custom room and it is already rooted.
I tried turning on and off app2sd but there's no change, except some files are in one case in sd-ext directory and in other arent. but that are not missing apps :-(
Use the newest version, it will work. If not... use any method to root your phone again and follow the above guide (YES, I know that your ROM is rooted, just do it).
Why you should root again? Well, I already had that problem and all root apps were having problems (I dunno if you are having problems too, try it), so I rooted again my phone and all the problems were solved.
I repeated this with superoneclick 2.3.3 but no difference.
I had to full wipe the phone.
thanks all for suggestions.
EDIT: just to be clear, it did root this time, but no difference about this apps.
I rooted my device with towelroot, and installed the Xposed framework, and now I can't encrypt my device. When I attempt to, it shows the Android dude with a gear for a couple of seconds, then it dissapears, screen goes black, and after about a minute, the device restarts and boots normally. Has anyone else encountered this?

Pretty sure you can't encrypt once you root. Or maybe it's once you put a custom recovery. I've never been able to use encryption after rooting my phones.

I ran into this myself and couldn't figure it out. I had flashed, rooted, then tried to encrypt and had the same result you did. Finally I tried flashing, encrypting THEN rooting and it worked. Hope this helps.
Hey be careful if your looking to install Safe Strap. Word for word what hashcode said
"THERE IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW."

I'm experiencing the same issue and changing the flash/encrypt/root sequence doesn't seem to change the results (encryption will not work, phone reboots). I'm attempting to root using CF's auto-root tools.
Wondering if there may be another root technique that wouldn't trip up the encryption process?
Disclaimers...
1. I know that encryption on a rooted device doesn't make much sense, but encryption is being forced down via the Exchange sync policies
2. I also know that the company might take a dim view of my attempt to root the device, but... they didn't explicitly tell me not to either
Hey guys, I didn't see anyone ask this question explicitly but if it has been stickied somewhere and I just overlooked it I apologize.
Basically I've flashed several different root images using Mofo root and they work for the most part minus one small aspect. After some duration of time (I'm not sure exactly how long but maybe from an hour to a few hours), root apps will basically stop functioning. If I go into supersu, I just get a loading circle that never gets anywhere. I've tried force closing it and disabling/reenabling superuser but that hasn't worked. Some apps continue to function (Gravitybox custom tiles, WiFi Tether, Seeder) but others do not start up properly (TiBackup for example gets stuck at the loading screen where it says asking for root privileges and tasker secure setting profiles return an error). Only a hard reboot will properly restore root but then the same issue occurs where after a while I have to continue to hard reboot once root stops functioning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Sorry I don't have a solution but I just wanted to bump this thread because I'm having the same issues as you. Wakelock detector also gets stuck on loading screen and supersu fails to open.

I also had the same issue. I am using the image with busy box and Xposed framework installed. After a an hour or so super user said that the binary was not installed, and most of my root apps stopped working. Root checker said my Turbo was not rooted, though gravity box and a few other Xposed modules continued to work. I rebooted the phone, but had the same problem. I turned notifications for the supersu app back on, and after about a minute it said the binary had to be updated, and I had root again. I'm not sure what is going on, but I will come back if I find anything
I'm not having any issues. I would reboot the phone into recovery and wipe the cache there. Hope that helps.
Glad I saw this thread...I'm having the exact same issue!
A hard reboot will solve the problem every time...but its quite annoying...
I'm going to try a factory reset and see if that helps
Clearing the cache seems to have solved this for me. I haven't lost root in a few days.
Seems to have resolved itself
I just wanted to mention that between clearing the cache and flashing a different rooted image this issue appears to have resolved itself.
I will update after some time to see if this fix maintains or if anything else pops up. Thanks for the suggestions!

What cache did you clear? I tried to clear the cache from the recovery, but my phone freezes and I have to reboot. Then I loose root a while later.

I have Oneplus 3t with 7.1.1 android. Only issue I am having is that if I turn Notification light on, there is no option to turn battery full, charging, and low notifications off. With them on i cant use the light at all, because it will light up my whole bedroom. I red from online that Light Flow is the best app that could have sleep time without notifications etc. but when i tested it, it could not turn those charging lights off. Is there some way to bybass this? Never seen issue like this before. I am not sure is it just bug that disable option is missing or such. I have been using this feature since 2013 with nexus 4 so unbelivable its missing from this.
It seems custom rom is only way to fix the problem, but what is stable enough for daily use? If I could fix this issue on normal rom I could use it for years, because there is nothing that i am missing or what i would need more from my phone.
If you don't want to change ROM, you can use Xposed and GravityBox, unless you use Android Pay or other SafetyNet protected apps

Are you rooted with SuperSU or Magisk? If the latter, then you can download Xposed through the Magisk Manager, then install Xposed Manager and GravityBox app.
GB has the feature to control LED for all apps, unfortunately the free version is limited to 50 reboots (full version costs about 4 USD).

Is there any rom that would contain this automaticly without needing to do those things?
I have messed up my whole phone every time I have tried to update, because of the encryption. I am pretty sure that dirty flashing will mess up once again. Last time I tried magisk It did not work for some reason so i had to install supersu instead, because i allways need to root for adblock.
The second thing i hate in this phone is the constantly coming reminder that there is update avaible. With going to custom rom or such i could get rid of that problem too.

I don't think so and even there are such ROMs, and I wouldn't depend on them. Consider doing a clean flash and/or another ROM.

The encryption is most likely not an issue, at least I didn't have any problems with it.

This is the nature of stock ROMs, unfortunately, but you should be able to hide this type of notification (long-press on it and disable the notification, but it's not always possible).

When i got phone and updated and rooted it i managed to get it not to recognise anything meaning soft bricked. Then time went by and i decided to update phone when I was told the root will stay, but then encryption once again soft bricked everything. Never seen **** like that on any phone so I did not know there is such thing. Just one step more to make things harder.
Now I am wondering does that encryption mess things up today when i will install paranoid 7.3.1. Atleast i put up fastboot etc. ready on my computer so it will be easier to fix.

It started to happen to my phone after I flashed only system.img to my rooted phone, tried to get the phone back to stock like some sort of a shortcut, to try to get OTA update.
I did not recognize it right away, but it started to happen from time to time and in all random occasions.
The phone will literally freeze for about 5-10sec and then everything will go back to normal.
The standard android message will appear that app is not responding do I want to kill it or wait.
I flashed the whole phone with stock images, temporarily rooted the phone again to enable camera2, uninstalled root, and it still happens from time to time.
Any suggestions, what can I do, what to check, where to look ?
I had kernel "Kernel Adiutor (ROOT)" previously installed, but I changed nothing major, just cpu governor to ondemand, and messed a little bit with entropy. This was installed on the phone before flashing.

You may want to clean the dalvik-cache first. (Install TWRP and clean it from there) the system is storing tons of thing in there, and *for my case* wiping it was like a deliverance ?

No custom installed auto backup aps, only default Android syncs.
I think that it has to do something with the kernel, or something deeper then stock images, maybe dodjob is right, I will try with dalvik erase, and if I remember correctly twrp has another option to clean something else, will check it today...
Is there a way to flash default stock kernel again ?

That sucks big time ? the only time I got a freeze was as I wanted to empty chrome beta cache. After the reboot, all went back as it should be...
I did it, finally, flashed all images again stock, and then don't restored backup of the phone offered by google, but do the clean new phone installation.
It works now, everything is setup and works as it should be, except camera2api, I did not enable that one yet.
Maybe, just maybe, the problem was with the way how camera2 api was enabled, I did it via adb shell.
How did you guys did it, if you have it enabled ?
This has started to happen to me since yesterday. I've had the phone to a couple of weeks and it's completely stock and un rooted. I rebooted the phone last night cause I thought it was some ram issue but it remains today. I'll give it a few days and hope it fixes itself.

Thanx, I needed that confirmation, then my problem was probably caused by some application that wanted to take root actions, without root enabled, and causing havoc to the system, because I was restoring backup last two times, backup from rooted phone.
I had rooted phone, then flashed only system.img, then the problem started, I don't know...
I will use the phone tomorrow for work without camera2, to make sure that I don't have any more problems.

I had never rooted this phone and I am on September security patch, from September 6th, but for 2 days, 1-2 times a day I get some freeeze for 1-3 minutes. Today I tried to clear manually the cache from Facebook, and it took me 1 minute after I click the button "Clear cache". And then I got everything freezing. After a black screen for 10 seconds I got an error as you can see in the screenshot attached. I will repeat, never touched the phone's system. Does anybody meet this problem???

Yes this happens when lots of I/o is done on the internal disk. I hope this is just a missing optimization and not a hardware issue. But let's bug xiaomi with it. I assume you also have the 64GB version?
@kaiwanted, I had that, but not 2 times per day, but almost constantly and the stops were about 10-15 sec, not for a whole minutes.
Clean flash, clean new start a phone procedure when the phone boots, no restores of backup.
And erased Dalvik cache in TWRP.
Or, if you don't want to do this, try with uninstalling all unnecessary apps that you have in the phone, try the day use with minimum, to see what happens.

So I uninstalled about 5-6 applications and freeze disappear. From which I remember, I uninstalled: Spendee, XDA Dev app, Zugo Wallpapers etc.
Still when I clear the cache manually from Applications in settings, it takes about a minute or more to clean 100-500mb. This is weird.
Anyway, thank you for the suggestion.

I did the same thing. Went through my application list, uninstalled everything I didn't need and the issue went away. I cleared like 5% of storage space with still over 50% left but it seems to have helped.
reflashed all stock, enabled camera 2 api using mi a2 toolkit (magisk method) and I have the same. Cleared everything and run flash_all.bat. enable cam 2 api again and still have the same issue. clean install of apps doesn't fix it. Any idea on how to fix the sudden freeze?
Thanks
