Kernel panic with CM10.1 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
some days ago I updated CM10.1 to Android 4.2.2 - first it looked like everything went flawlessly but after trying to take some pictures, my phone often gets a kernel panic. Mostly after taking one picture, sometimes I can take up to 5 or 6 pictures, but it happens everytime.
The kernel panic also comes up randomly, but more often when I'm in a call.
Since the update to 4.2.2 I tried every nightlie after the first 4.2.2 nightlie, but the problem stays.
I've also done formatting Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache - without success.
In the Development Forum I have not found any other user with this problem so I thought asking here is a good idea (even because I have not yet 10 posts :angel
PS: If it is important: In the first row of the "kernel panic upload mode"-error screen there stands: "RST_STAT = 0x20000000

[Q] CM9 bootloops

I've search and I don't think I've seen an answer to this question yet and as my first question/post I'd like to say:
I'm running CM9.04 and I love it, but I'd like to assist in testing out the nightlies and AOKP etc..., but no matter what I do I always get a bootloop (Sometime shows the booting android for about half a second then reboot, sometime not even that). I see others say that these ROMs are working (as well as development ROMs do ) I clear all caches, factory reset and always the same thing (except on the .04 alpha release). Anyone else have this issue or a solution or suggestions?

[Q] Non-stop crashing and rebooting

Hello, guys. First of all, I'd like to apologize in advance for my bad english. If there is any part of the message that isn't very clear, please inform me so I can correct it.
Here's the deal: I've been using for some time the Jelly Bean Ressuction Remix Rom from Westcrip.
Since about a month and a half (since version 3.9, I believe), I've been getting some weird and random signal drops. Back then, I had to manually reboot my phone so the data connection would come back. At the time I thought it was because the rom was still a nightly build, not very stable, so I coped with it.
This problem has worsen considerably since one or two weeks ago: those "signal drops" have become more and more regular. And following the signal drop, the screen would flicker a little and then the phone would automatically turn off. When I turn the phone back on, the battery is almost depleted, even tho it was full right before the crash. Again I'd blame the RR from Westcrip (by the time I was using the version 3.1.0). When version 3.1.2 came out, I did a clean installation (wipe data/factory reset/format system partition/wipe cache and dalvik, etc), even changed the kernels (used both Dorimanx and Siyah), a lot of modems, and still got this same problem: signal drop (usually when the phone is under a relative amount of stress, like playing Angry Birds, browsing the web, and even while using whatsapp!!!) followed by the phone turning itself off.
I then thought: what the hell, the problem has to be with the rom, not my phone. Then, I tried installing different roms (Paranoid Android and Slim Bean), and still got the same results. If anything, the phone is rebooting even more often now than before. I can't use it for 15 straight minutes and I get that problem,
Since this has happened with all these different roms I dont believe its related specifically to any of those.
Another strange thing: this "signal drop" followed by the rebooting only happens when the phone is disconnected from any power source and being actively used by me. If I'm recharging it, for example, the phone wont reboot at all. Also, if it is over my desk but I'm not using it, the phone also wont reboot. However, if I take it out from the power source and starting using it, I'll get another reboot in about 5-10 minutes of use.
I searched the forum and didnt find anyone with a similar problem... have any of you guys seem this happen before? I'm beggining to think that my phone is gonna die on me anyday now.
Regards!!

Hi, thanks a lot fot the help.
I did all the steps above and I'm still getting the same results...
Another thing to notice is that yhe phone gets really hot for apparently no reason at all (like booting up, running aLogcat and other minor apps), and when that happens, I usually get a signal drop (if the phone is plugged in it wont reboot, if its not, it will reboot).
Is there anything else I can try?
Updating: I've been restoring my old nandroid backups for the whole day to see if the problem had anything to do with Jelly Bean. Well, I've gone back to the old ICS days and every version of it had the same random and constant rebooting. Even versions that didn't have any problem before.
I'm beggining to think I have a hardware failure of some sort. Do any of you guys know what could cause this kind of hardware failure? Since the phone has been getting hot for no apparent reason, it seems to me its a problem with the SGS2 cooler. Is that even possible?
OK so I have this problem but only when using my backup battery. (Not official). When It gets around 30% it begins to make my screen flicker and loose signal and just die.
So maybe you haven't got an original (official) battery in your s2?
Sent from my Galaxy SII
I dont think I have an unofficial battery. Its the same battery that came with the phone (bought from Amazon), and also, mine says Samsung on the back. Dunno if its enough to assume its official. Is there another way to check if my battery is official?

Hi I am also facing the same problem. Mobile is getting hot near the camera lens.

[Q] Device suddenly stops working and needs to be wiped

I have a serious issue with both my I9100 devices.
it suddenly freezes and requires reboot. when i do it, it stuck on boot screen (Where the yellow triangle would be if using unofficial firmware)
nothing helps, only wipe data. once I wipe, device loads fine and starts working again.
I tought at first its rom/kernel related, I switched everything and even tried stock rom.
it keeps happening...today, I tried to swap batteries as one got empty, I took the battery out of the stocked-rom device (after turning it off) and then later when i switched it on, it had to be wiped.
same as with my other device.
Anyone has any clue what this is about?
Its became a big issue for me, I cant flash/wipe every few days...
One device is on Neatrom 4.4 lite, the other stock-everything, both 4.1.2

u can just rewert to stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware on both the phones and check for the issue (whether its firmware related or any hardware issue as such)
thanks for your help,
It did not happen on 403, tough it didnt happen on 4.1.2 for some while either.
what else would you suggest me to test?

1) with 403 for some time once again to ensure no issues of freezing.
2)then a different 4.1.2 stock/custom rom altogether to check for the same(freezing) issue.
stay for some time on those firmwares and see (may be one or two charge cycles).
3) do not install any mods on top of the firmware, just stay stock and see
One of the devices is already back to 403, while the second one on stock 412
the hardest thing to tell if 403 solves it or not, as it happens occasionally, once in a week or two.
I tried two different stock roms, so that would rule out #2.
The weird thing is that wiping data is enough.
data is separated from the rom itself, yet it causes the entire device not to boot anymore.

S3 did a strange reset

I have a GT-i9300 running foxhound 2.4 with the latest Persues kernel and have been having a stange issue, for the second time this month my phone did a strange type of rset. The phone froze so i took out the batterty and restarted it, it was hanging at the bot screen for a very long time. The same amount of time that it does after having flashed a new rom. After waiting it reboots as if I have switched my phone on for the first time and have to select my language. The problem is that any app that i have installed on the phone no longer works and I have to reinstall each app. Also every stock app included in the rom need to be updated. It is almost as if the rom itself reset and I have the version of the app included with the rom installed. This is the second time that this has happened. Is there anything known to cause this?
My best guess is your data partition is corrupted during your freeze, the phone recovers but you lose all data - an automatic factory reset. Perhaps if you left the phone long enough it would recover, pulling the battery could be the cause of corruption. I'd return it to fully stock and see if it happens again, if it does then warranty repair is required.
Try the sds and unusual freezing threads for more info, it could be the start of half sds.

So im not the only one who had that problem? I have got the same problem when installed 4.2.1 leak for the first time total random reboots freezes, boot hanging and it was still stuck also when switching back to 4.1.2, and somehow its not anymore on my phone, changed recovery to philz, changed kernels to perseus and that gave me speed and broke somehow the freezes, i have now tested the v4.2.2 leaks and im now on SentinelRom4.70 without any glitches etc real speed and batterij safe

[Q] How long did it take for CM 11 20140116-UNOFFICIAL (EOL) of jfbs to install?

Hi guys. It is my first time to run cyanogenmod on my phone. I have the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 2 4G and I tried to install the CM 11 of jfbs. I did all the backups and I wiped the data and cache and installed the ROM and Gapps. But I rebooted my device and the Cyanogenmod logo appeared with the spinning arrow and it didn't want to stop spinning (or loading if you want). My phone was stuck on logo and the spinning arrow. I forced the phone to turn off and when I rebooted it I worked but after a little time it went back to the logo and the spinning arrow. I re-installed the ROM and Gapps but like before, the logo and the spinning arrow still there until now and it won't even stop and lead me to the lock screen. PLEASE can somebody tell me if it won't work or what is wrong whit it or if it is matter of time, how long should i wait? PLEASE I need to know what is going on and what to do. :crying:

(as a dev for this phone)
If you could PM me with more details that would be helpful. When i hear that it continues after a reboot(not the first person to have said that) i think its that you are not waiting enough time. That may or may not be the case. I would give it a good 5 min. I have never timed mine but it does seem to me that prior android versions took about 2-3min maybe and for w.e. reason android 4.4(cm-11.0) takes a few more min. Anything over >=10min though id say is too much. In these cases the only things that can really help are logs. Logs are the only way you can show a dev what you are experiencing.
(as a xda member)
Also i would use the device thread not the general android thread, read through the rom thread of the rom you are tryng to install, and a last and final note, I would recommend that anyone that is new to install older more mature roms first. These roms will yield the best experience in most cases. Then once you are familiar you can experiment with other roms/mods etc etc.

Thank you @cars1189 for your answer. I used the device thread to do it but the problem is, I let it spinning for more than 5 hours. I have flashed many roms in my phone since i had it (more than 10 times or more) and i know that it does not take more than 10 mins max to install. But don't worry after that i went back and restored my previous CM 9 rom and right now i'm on the CM 11 build of 1-29-14 of your CM mass thread. It works fine, not at 100% but it doesn't drain my battery like your CM 10.2 build of 1-11-14 and it is almost stable. I will try tonight to use your ADC kernel with the jfbs CM 11 rom that first didn't work for me because I saw in your thread that this kernel may help it to load and install without the spinning issue. So i will give it a shoot. But anyways thanks for your answer and it means a lot to me really. :good:
GOOD
@cars1189 , I'm actually running the 6-18-14 build of CM11 and as far as it goes, i'm not encountering any major issue at the moment. The theme engine is working fine for me and battery life is great for my usage. I use this build as a daily driver, and it does a great job. Calls, texts, data, wifi, Bluetooth and GPS are all working. I had issues before with the amount of RAM available, but now that it has 375MB of RAM, it is more snappy. Just :good: Thank you for your work on our to make our phone still valuable today!! THANKS MAN!!!!!!
