My note 8 keeps crashing and restarting

[theraker007]

I think the problems started ever since I rooted the device. That's the only thing I can think of. I will say that I only rooted it, I did not freeze or remove any apps, install anything or otherwise modify the system. I haven't even installed a recovery yet.

Is it possible the root made my system unstable? What do you guys suggest I do to try and fix this problem?

Thanks

have you tried un-rooting? Anytime you mess with the system it has the potential to make it unstable.

I installed software on mine which changes color balance and runs as a service.

When it was running, the device crashed occasionally.

Once I uninstalled it, the behavior stopped.

Rooting probably doesn't create a problem, but try uninstalling any software you've added, then stepwise walk through adding in apps.

I've also seen some apps create lockups for the camera app.

Then why did you root? Just waiting for the development to come around?

I'm rooted and haven't seen this issue. Its rebooted once, maybe twice on its own in the 2 weeks or so since rooting.

Yeah I thought we'd have custom roms by now. How do I safely uproot and get back to factory. I would like to wipe everything and start from scratch

SuperSU

Using framaroot.apk with Aragorn exploit, I noticed that the SuperSU option is more stable that Superuser.

I ran into problems with my first Note 8 after I installed XMBC. It would lock up within 10 seconds or so of reboot. I would highly recommend that you take advantage of the root toolkit in this forum, install CWM recovery and make a full backup once you get it behaving again. It is good to have something to go back to if you have unexpected problems!

EDIT: You can flash back a stock image using the toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251033

well i dont know what the heck is going wrong with the toolkit, but i did everything correctly, installed all the drivers, serial # shows up in the toolkit, checked off developer debugging mode. I tried to flash CWM from toolkit in PDA and everytime i try to go to recovery it just has the stock recovery there not CWM.
