Default Re: Can't find stable Android 4.x ROM/ Kernel

A fresh battery wouldn't hurt. Before I rooted, my phone would have random reboots and shut offs once the battery went below 60 percent or so. I did factory resets and tested with different apps installed and only a new battery fixed it. Best of luck!

I'm going to research how to do that... Is there a thread that introduces readers to pulling logs? I'll go looking for one.



Exactly! Even with the original kernel of each ROM. I bought the device used, so I can't rule out the possibility that the last user installed a secured bootloader. Here is what my bootloader says:



This information could of course be fake :P But if you guys say battery is probably not the problem then it seems to be a good idea to flash a bootloader from the forums...

And again thanks for your help, I am kind of moved haha
Well, it was just an idea. From that info there, it would seem that you have the proper bootloader. That's exactly how mine reads.

If you know how to pull logcats last_kmsg is easy, if not its still easy and a quick google search will tell you how
Ok, right now I'll not try flashing bootloader since everything seems to be normal.
What I did to get last_kmsg:
Code:
Open terminal app
Enter "su" to get root privileges
Enter "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt" to save current log.
Close terminal app.
I attached the last_kmsg.txt. What do I do with it now? I don't have knowledge to understand it.

I can't remember using a ROM that never crashed, but I'll try a stock ROM if nothing else works. However an old kernel of scverhagens CM 9.1 seems to work flawlessly if battery is not about < 15%. The newest r10 kernel on the other hand always immediately crashes when the phone is not charging. When charging I haven't experienced a crash yet. That's strange and makes me suspect my battery is the problem.

Thanks! I guess I'll try an Anker since I have seen so much users here using it.

Thanks, but the problem is I'm pretty sure that something's wrong with my phone...

I'll try virtuous ROM and a new battery though.
