USER FAULT Not KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE

[Only Loki]

Does anyone know what this is, Or why it happens. my phone would crash and this screen would pop up. I did alot on my phone before it started to happen. I think it has something to do with GPS, but the only other people I have seen on the net to have this problem have different stories.

One says its after he rooted

Another person on the T-mobile forums reported it but didn't give a suspected reason.

Mine did it after three things happened I used the supl.google.com gps fix, and my battery showed an overheat warning when charging turned off. And My girl tried to send 15 pics she took to herself and cousin one through E-mail and the other through mms. The email and text messages to my girl gave me error messages that and a way to solve the problem (which didn't work) The only thing that worked was deleted her thread and the email.

I have since restored factory setting to see if it fixes the problems. I'll keep everyone updated.

If anyone has any ideas or has had this happen chime in maybe we can find out whats going on.

Factory Data reset was useless, it was a waste of time. It appears to be related to the GPS. After thinking about it, the radio probably burned out when i was trying to use gps while charging it in the car yesterday, it had to be 94 degrees outside probably hotter on the dash. The phone actually reset to the battery indicator and flashed a battery heat warning. Gps didn't last last long after that. It was the next morning when I started to get the error.

Called rep, and he gave me an exchange right away, no questions, will be getting another phone sat. or monday.

I realize this is a little old, but I just wanted to say that I just had the same problem today while I was using a navigation tool (Waze). I thought it might be related to the app, but maybe it is the GPS as op said.

I do realize this thread is months old but, likewise, I just had the same thing happen to me.

I wasn't using GPS though, I was simply trying to tether through usb.
Next thing I know the "kernel panic, upload mode" screen came up rendering my phone useless
I pulled the battery restarted, and did the same thing yet this time the screen didn't come up allowing me to tether and search the issue.
From the google search results I came across a thread where a guy said it had something to do with task managers/killers. He said since he unistalled the version he was using "advanced task manager" he never had the problem again.
which led him to believe it came from the wrong proccesses being killed or stopped by it which caused the kernel to crash.
Likewise...I too was using a task killer--Auto killer. So I uninstalled it as well, and now use the system default task manager to kill unwanted apps manually.

So far so good...Idk if this is the solution, but to any future readers that run across this and are having the same problem, I suggest you rid of any task killing apps that may be running. Manually kill apps on your own, and let android handle the rest.
I'm not saying dont use them at all but...unless you are an advanced enough user to understand how they work a little more, your best benefit is to leave it be.

Here are some tips that helped me fix this issue:

1. As someone said earlier, uninstall task killers. It's better to install an app that changes the os default task killer. I use autokiller and I use the preset optimum. This way the os can manage the processes and it will stay stable.

2. If you have setcpu, make sure to go to menu, autodetect device, and then set the minimum to 200.

3. If you flash a rom, if it's possible use a clockwork recovery image instead of using Odin.

After these steps, it never happened to me again.

I was using Autokiller too....I uninstalled it and everything seems fine, Idk, may had nothing to do with it...because I've used Autokiller for quite a while, way back on my G1 and never had that problem, oh well...appreciate your input.

I had several "kernel panic" warnings on my handset which I replaced. If I remember it was after using Google maps right after an update and it was hot as a ***** and could smell components melting. As far as autokiller the experience I had was that say I was online Google reader decided to check XDA for instance,go back to Steel would have closed the App out.this happened using visual task swithcher and the default last used programs panel. So I don't use it for that reason.

if your phone is Loki, use Odin, you'll be Thor.

Thread moved to Q&A.

I think this is related to some applications. This is happening to me also, I am on Stock 2.2 Rooted. First I noticed this one when I was online on Nimbuzz and my yahoo account was logged in through nimbuzz, and when I started Yahoo messenger with the same login ID I got "USER FAULT NOT KERNEL PANIC". It happened with same scenario again & again. So I dont use both together.

Again I noticed when I kept my phone on charging through USB connected to a PC, sometimes my fon went in the same Panic mode without doing anthing.

Somebody needs to find out why this is happening. some application or process is causing this problem which needs to be find out.

Vibrant Crash Response

I have the same problem! It's happened about 20 times to my phone. It crashes, gets hot as ****, and gives me the 'user fault kernel panic upload mode' screen.
I think I've narrowed it down a little though.

Things I've noticed:
1.. It only happens when the phone is charging, never on battery.
2.. It only happens after the screen is turned off, never while I'm using it (anywhere from 5 min to hours after the screen has been off).

I'm guessing its some kind of background process that uses a lot of processing power and overheats the phone..
Hope this helps. Be sure to post up if you find a solution.. I don't want to burn it up!

Just for confirmation sake are we all seeing the same Kernel Fault error? are you seeing the same codes?

RST_STAT 0X4
PMIC_IRQ1 0x0
PMIC_IRQ2 0x0
PMIC_IRQ3 0x0
PMIC_IRQ4 0x0
PMIC_STATUS1 0x0
PMIC_STATUS2 0x0

Also i have tried three different Kernels so i am pretty sure this is going to be a hardware issue.

I may be wrong though, in my case it could be a task killer.

Need help! What can we do?

My cousin had the same problem but, It did happenned on battery power, he did not activated the GPS or Google Map.

The phone is practically bricked. It does not boot to android. We tried everything and came up with no results. Even we get the battery off and waited like a minute or so, plug it back and try to turn it on and it just got us to the same screen with the message saying something about kernel panic upload mode and a bunch of red numbers at the upper left corner. He does not installed any task killer either.

I think he was trying to install a .zip file from the SD Card in clockwork recovery mode. Now we can't even get to recovery mode!

What can we do?

hardware problem

 

[Punnyabrata]

I have been running on I997UCKI4 rom. Now a days the phone suddenly keeps getting into "user fault kernel panic upload mode" and phone would not even go into 3e recovery mode.

I have to take out the battery and put it back again. It keeps heating up until I do that.

Please help.
