I have Xperia P with latest stock firmware (Android 4.1.2 - 6.2.A.1.100).
My phone restarts at random, in average once a day. I've tried factory reset, downgrade to previous stock firmware, clearing all cache, but nothing helped.

So now I've installed Nemesis Kernel v6.3 REVISED 21-2-2014, hoping it will resolve the problem, but it didn't.

Could anybody look at the attached crash log, and understand the reason for the crash?

Thanks.

It seems that something is wrong with the wifi or baseband hardware.
Try flashing some other ROMs(including kernel AND BASEBAND) using flashtool.
If still not solved go and fix it

Thanks.
I was afraid this might be a hardware issue.
I've already tried several official Sony firmwares, both ICS and JB, all with same crash.
I've also had this crash while WiFi is off, so I guess there is some fault with the baseband hardware...

Is it possible not to load wifi module?
Thanks.

for stock ROMs you need to delete or rename /system/lib/modules/cw1200_wlan.ko and cw1200_core.ko and delete the same files in ramdisk
for CM 11 or other kitkats you only need to delete those in /system
If you just want to remove the module from system but not to delete forever
turn off wifi
open a root shell
run: rmmod cw1200_wlan.ko
rmmod cw1200_core.ko

The files you mention exist on my phone in the following folders: /system/lib/modules/3.0.8+/kernel/net/compat-wireless/drivers/staging/cw1200 and /lib/modules.
I'm unable to delete/rename them even when using root.
The error message I get is "Read-only file system".

If I use "rmmod" as you mention, how can I undo this operation?

Thanks.

Use the command 'mount -o remount,rw /system' to mount the /system read-write.
You cannot delete those in /lib/modules directly from system. You will need to unpack your kernel and modify it.
The modules are back after reboot if you only use rmmod

For now I did the "rmmod" commands, and I'll see if this helps.
