Rooting my phone has turned into a nightmare, can you help me?

Ok firstly I'd like to say I just rooted my phone last week, this was my first time doing it. I decided to do it to get rid of various problems (I was led to believe rooting fixes everything). Some of them went away, some of them stayed, and new ones came up with the rooting.
I was coming a stock LG Optimus 2X P990 with Android 2.3.4 (had been updated because the phone was originally older 2.2.2 I think.. I'm not sure), and rooted to Nova HD Rom (ICS 4.0.4) using this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1508492. Oh also, I'm using SPB Shell launcher.
Problem #1 : Signal interuption. This one is probably the worst problem I have. I rely on my phone a lot as I don't have a ground line I need it to catch all my calls. About 2-3times a day I'll check my phone and I'll have no network. Sometimes the signal bars are frozen, they don't flutuate as I move to different areas. Sometimes there's an X on the signal logo. Either way, where I go inside/outside.. my phone can't get network. At first I tried to activate/de-activate 2G, turning on/off airplane mode to somehow reset the damn thing, but it just won't pickup. Then I tried a reboot, after the reboot.. still stuck at no signal. Then I finnally found how to fix it.. a full power OFF, and back ON. That's right each time I peak at my phone and it seems to be doing this, I need to make a complete shut down to wake his ass off.
Problem #2 : Battery drain. Well after days of reading on the subject apparently rooting my G2X was gonna improve it's battery life. Result is : no difference. I've bought a bunch of apps to try and keep track on what's wrong (BetterBatteryStats, Battery Monitor Pro). Just this morning I unplug my fully charged phone at 7:00:AM, and by 1PM (6hours later) it was done. There was about 1½hours of awake time, and about 50mins of screen on (perhaps half of this was using my 3G internet with various apps), no SMS or Calls. Usually if the phone is kept sleeping it can last about 24hours, do you guys think this is normal battery drain?
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? Last week I was woken up by my alarm in the morning to find out I was about 40minutes late. Only happened once so far. I checked to see if I had set my alarm incorrectly.. nope, then I saw my phone time.. It was was OFF by 40mins... WTF? I went in the options and everything was fine... "Automatic date & Time" checked. I unchecked/checked it, and it didn't fix it, I had to reboot the phone for the time to come back to normal. Now hopefully that was only a one time problem, only now I have to live with the stress every morning my phones time might be wrong and I'll be late for work.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. I use to listen a lot of FM radio before I rooted my phone , this is a feature I enjoyed. After rooting the FM radio application was gone, I said what the hell I'll just get another app from google play. NOPE, not a single FM radio app (that works). I tried a bunch of stuff, read on the forums and searched google for like 3hours and couldn't believe how much work I had put into such a simple thing.. this is so infuriating. The next day I kept looking but was never able to get anything working.. Oh and every where I look people say "lol why use FM radio when you can stream 1gazillion radio with given apps or whatnot". DAMMMMMMNN CAUSE MAYBE I DON'T HAVE INFINITE DATA PLAN? (In fact I have only 500megs/month). Seriously I'm so mad about this.
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! . I swear to got now that I rooted my phone each time I try to do something, something ****S UP. I just wanted to plug in my phone and copy some episodes of a serie I watch. Each time I tried copying the files : BAM "Windows Explorer has stopped working". So after another 2hours or so of trials and errors I figured the damn thing out . If I try to copy anything, it works. If I try to copy a *.MKV file, explorer crash. A solution I found is renaming my files to *.****YOU and then copy it and rename it back to MKV after it's done copying. Then I wondered, what if I rename a txt file to mkv, will it crash when being copied? Nope won't crash. So it's not just the extension? But why does it work if I remove the mkv extension.. oh good god how the hell am I supposed to understand anything.
Problem #6 : Can't play that MKV file?. Hey I finnally copied my file, the next day at work during my break I open my phone to watch it and.... well I realised there wasn't any video player included in my ROM, so luckly this time I found apps on the market that could play it. I used MX Player. Oh alright time to watch it? NOPE The video is all laggy and skipping frames like hell. Also audio is off and about each 10sec it mutes as if it was re-syncing the sound. Later the next evening I wasted another couple hours figuring this one out. What comes out often : they say use Dice Player instend! LOL Funny! The damn app won't even open my file!.
Playing with my phone I opened an APP I've pushased : System tuner pro. Looking at the CPU stats I noticed the first CPU was at 1.01Ghz, and the second one was at 216mhz? What the hell? I thought isn't that suposed to be 2x1ghz dual core?. So I cranked up the thing up to 1.01Ghz just like the other CPU, opened MX Player and already my video was almost watchable (a definitive improvement). I went back in System tuner pro, and overclocked the damn thing (even tough I had no idea if it was safe to do so) to 1.4ghz on both cores. Another significant improvement, this time when set this way I could watch my video! And the app onlyl reports a 5Celcius increase so I guess it's fine.
My only problem/question about that is why does each time I reboot my phone does the damn thing turns back to 216mhz? In fact why was it set to 216mhz in the first place? Considering all the problems I have and that I reboot my phone about 10times a day, I can't just go in system tuner the re-set my CPU settings each time?
Hopefully you guys can help me.. I'm exhausted I''ve been searching this forum and the web for the last couple days, I have like 1000tabs open in chrome. Btw this forum is a goldmine for information but damn it's a lot of reading.
Thanks in advance for your help

First, I'd like to say that I admire your keenness to detail in writing all of your issues down. Thing is, most of the problems you have are mainly because you flashed a modified ICS ROM. ICS roms by themselves are in beta stage, meaning there are some things that people compromise in flashing them (such as the missing FM radio), and you flashed a modified one, which might be the reason for certain power saving features such as your 2nd core down stepping to 216MHz.
Thing is, most of those were discussed in the NOVA ICS thread.
I would recommend flashing the more stable ROMs. Temasek's CM7, DjangoManouche by Carburano, Nostalgia by Topogigi (Froyo ROM) are the ones that pop-up in mind.
For a panic button, you can do a smartflash and it will restore all partitions to stock LG (wiping all user data of course).
Anyway, read the threads carefully. The opening posts and the last 5 pages at least. In order to get a feel of user experiences with the ROM.
Goodluck and happy flashing!

I also noticed that you mentioned you have a G2X? But you also mention having a P990. If you're on a G2X, you have a different forum section my friend. This forum section is specifically for the O2X.
Flashing an O2X ROM on a G2X may result in softbricks.
(Please disregard my advise about ROM choices if you're have an LG P999 G2X, those are all intended for the LG P990 O2X.)

yea my mistake when I typed G2x.. I meant O2X.
Thanks for the advice.
If I change my ROM will it wype all my user data again? (sorry im a newb at this)

The ROM itself might not. But I highly recommend you wipe your device since you're moving from 1 version of android (ICS) to another (Froyo or GB).

I'd recommend you CM7 (not CM9) based ROMs but since you need the FM radio, they have none AFAIK.. but you can try stock based ROMs that are still in active developments by the dev. Usually they worked just fine and will fix most of your problems.. again, don't use CM9 based..
Now for the network that is constantly disconnecting in background, this bug is actually introduced (at least for me) after the GB update (i assumed because of the changes LG has made to the baseband). There's no surefire fix for this problem.. try different combinations of basebands and RILs.. stick to whatever works for you
For battery, if you're in constant mobile network, 24 hours standby time is incredible IMO.. our battery is just too low in capacity to make it last any longer than that.. my only advice is minimize the number of apps in your device, because some of them always stay in RAM doing god knows what..
Good luck

Yes it will wipe them.. for baseband changes too.. so if you have apps that you'd like to preserve, back them up before flashing anything.. Titanium backup will do the trick, but some instability issues might appear if you choose to just backup and then restore everything up.. so choose all your important apps and leave the rest.. this way if something is wrong with the rom after restore, you can at least pinpoint which app is causing it

CM7 has a working FM radio since late last year.
Just an FYI.

Oh great.. that means you wouldn't mind using CM7.. i just don't bother checking for working FM radio app since long ago
why not try Temasek's kang build? I believe it is still the best stability wise..

is there ICS Roms which are CM7 Based? I figure might as well have the latest version of android...

CM 7 is a fantastic phone, but it has 2 big problems:
-huge battery drain, specially when you enable Wifi!
-sporadic BSODs...specially when the phone is on charging...
Sadly i had to remove CM7 because i use a lot Wifi...i flashed Topogigi's nostalgia now..good rom

Which both are solved to about 95% by using etana kernel.
In short CM7 is the most feature complete ROM without sacrificing performance on our phones.

Just to give an update I have changed my ROM to a CM7 based rom like u guys said. Temasek's kang build
Problem 1. Signal interuption : problem is definitly solved.
Problem 2. Battery drain : definite improvement, battery now last at least twice longer
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? : Didn't get the problem again, so solved.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. : Well I got an FM radio app, but I can't make it work. It doesn't pick up the stations..
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! : Well this is solved yes and no. If I manage to make my computer detect the damn phone, I can copy whatever I want to. Thing is for some reason I can't seem to be able to plug my phone into Mass Storage mode anymore. It worked a couple of times and all of sudden even tough I didn't change any drivers, my computer just doesn't see the phone anymore. I get a "USB Composite Device" with a yellow "!" mark in my device manager.
I tried a bunch of stuff in the options, rebooting the phone and/or computer, nothing worked. I decided to try reinstalling the rom, and boom right after I pluged it in, the USB Mass storage mode worked. Once again after a couple of times it started doing the same thing (yellow "!" mark in my device manager), and no new drive being detected. This time I'm completly clueless on what's going on, and I have no idea what I can do about it.
I'm currently copying files using Samba Filesharing over Wi-Fi, but sometimes I'd prefer using my USB cable, and I just can't...
New problem!!! : I had my phone at work yesterday and pluged in my headphones to listen to music, start my music and the sound was playing in both my heatphone and phone speakers. I tried unplugging/replugging the headphone, now the sound only worked on the phone speaker. Looked up every phone option possible regarding sound or headphones.. couldn't find nothing. I did a reboot on the device, and bam fixed everything. Couple hours later I re-open my phone for music, same problem occured. Had to reboot the device for the sound to be back in the headphones.
Most problems are fixed, I Guess I'm satisfied, but damn can't everything just work...

JuiceDefender Premium will make it that your device loses 1% every 10 hours if screen is off.

Stock 20Q from LG is free of bugs and full of functions.

Might be a stupid advice,
but you do know that you need your headphones plugged in for FM radio? (they are the actual antenna)
In the settings you can also set your region (e.g. North America or Europe), since the frequencies differ a bit (e.g. Europe uses 0.1MHz 'jumps' and some regions 0.2MHz).

yea I know all of that don't worry.
The FM radio app is pretty buggy, today I made it worked. Once the app was started with the station selected, I hit the home button then I pulled down the tray and click on the FM app from there. All of sudden I started hearing sound.. it had worked.
Turns out the app is also the source of what is messing my headphones up. When I close and re-open the app, the sound will come out from the phone speaker, and that messes up every sound from the phone then on.

That FM radio thing is a bug that I haven't heard of actually. When you have the opportunity (or maybe on the next build #94, I'd suggest a full wipe then reflash).

[Q] Galaxy NOTE SOD problems.

My brother's galaxy note have been facing serious sod problems since he bought the phone at Nov 2012. After he faced it the 1st time , he sent to SC and got it back. After 1-2months the problem came again and he asked for my help. I persume it was because the malaysian firmware of the ICS was somewhat unstable from what i read from forums here and there. So i changed the firmware to JB duno from which country when it came out in MAC. After a week or so. The problem reappeared . So I just decided to root and chnge the kernel and also the ROM. Changed the ROM to a stock rom and a kernel. Still the problem persist. I'm out of options. Went to the ****ty SC and the idiots just factory reset the phone and give u back. BUNCH OF RETAR*S . (sorry for my languange)
Hope someone here may help me out with my problem. Thanks a million :laugh:

Check all the apps you have installed maybe you find the bad one whose causing it as you have mentioned it comes after sometime of installing a fresh rom and have you tried any aosp rom maybe that will fix the issue

I just installed an aosp rom (PA) and I hope it fixes the problem. Well I've seen the amount of apps installed in the note and its jst a quarter the amount I have in the Galaxy S2 and my S2 works like a charm. The note has been giving me headache ever since I got it from my brother. Hope this does solve it , if not I guess its something else maybe hardware

Phone sod twice on paranoid android. FML! Guess im visiting SC tmrw again.

Same problem with me..
My Note 1 has SOD since 1st time bought it..
be patience to install JB --> still SOD
change kernel to SpeedMod 5.3 --> SOD again
change kernel to PhilZ --> sometimes SOD
I have read many information that related with SOD in galnote 1, my opinion it is related with hardware too.. sometimes
or it is related with kernel... it can not wake from deep sleep..
anyone have another better suggestion to cure this ?

if u're using pure stock rom still facing the same problems then definitely is hardware issues！
if ur device still under warranties suggest bring to SC ask them do a thorough check on it n let them know what's going on actually...

Yes, I use stock ROM still has SOD,
so it's hardware issue for sure...
but I will keep the phone for now because sometimes SC doesn't give solution to this..

I too get this SOD once a week on my GT-N7000
Phone status when this happens:
stock JB(earlier ICS), non-rooted, data connection, wifi, GPS, bluetooth all disabled. Battery mostly above 80%.
Gmail, Google+, Facebook and all other social n/w apps disabled (yes, i am an oldtimer )
During SOD, if a third party calls my number, he hears it ringing, but my handset is dead as dodo (quite dangerous as the calling person may think i am not answering it)
i used to get this when it was on ICS and still getting it after i upgraded to JB.
Most of the time, SOD occurs during wee hours in morning ( i used battery monitor app that logs battery stats every 10 minutes to check the time when this happens).
Sometimes it occurs when the phone is in my jeans back pocket. phone needs a 10 second press on pwr switch to restart it.
Turning off the "power saver" mode seem to reduce the probability of SOD.
i have taken this phone to SC and they re-flashed the JB.
i told the SC chap that i have already done this and couple of factory resets, but he said that they do "much more" than just re-flashing through kies like calibrating camera, bluetooth )
does anyone in the know, know if this is indeed true ?
Thanks

updates...
After 2 days of re-flashing at a samsung authorised service center, i got SoD 2 times in a period of 12 hours.
once last night and second time when i was traveling to office.
Last night i installed some bare-minimum apps back after waiting 2 days for any SoD to happen in "stock" condition.
Well.... i did not pay 30K to use the GNote as just a phone, so installed some basic apps (Battery monitor, Bangalore BMTC, RealCalc, GPS Test, ES File explorer and a first time app StatusLogger)
phone went dead at 1:00 am in morning and as usual there was no wakeup alarm.
phone was warm to touch when it was lying dead. The battery which was 96% at 00:30 AM had gone down to 54% at 7:00 AM.
Status logger did not show any loss of GSM signal which might have resulted in phone transmitting at higher power/hunting for signal etc.
The "radio" seemed working, because when i made a call to the dead phone from my landline, i could hear the phone ring instead of expected "phone is switched off" message i was expecting.
So this has to do with application processor going in some infinite loop.
Uninstalling all apps is NOT an option.
anyone know if we can establish any debug connection to phone and know what the hell CPU is up to in this situation ?
any processor logger that will periodically log all the processes running on phone ?

SOD resolved... not a single one since 6 months.
Hey guys, just wanted to share this info with you, I had SOD's like anything and did all freakingly possible things right from flashing roms to kernels, speed up CPU, banging my head in front of the dumb witted morons at samsung service... to get rid of that pain. What helped me was an app called "WAKELOCK" by darken which is merely 72kb in size but works wonders, not a single SOD after that. What u need to do is.... it has a list of presets that makes sure your cpu stays up. You need to select the preset called "partial wake lock" which is at no. 4, and viola...
It ensures that the CPU is running. No SOD ever after. Also, you need to make it autorun on boot from the options. Yea, it does eat up batter a bit more but its definitely manageable. I still need to charge my note only at night.
Just to be sure, I uninstalled it and guess what, SOD returned. So, do try it, I hope it helps...

Boom key doesn't improve sound anymore

After the latest update from alcatel, the boom key stopped boosting sound... It still activates everything else but the sound boost effect. I already did a factory reset and nothing changes. Anyone else having the same problem? This is one of my favourite features in the Idol 4s so i would apreciate some help please! Thanks in advance.

yep, it seems its enabled by default, because I never used it in games, kind of distorts the sound and it happens now even with maxaudio off

I also didn't use the boom key for music, only videos or movies but it does nothing to the soundboost... It stopped working after the update and now its gone for good... No one managed to explain what the hell happened, neither alcatel nor some fellow idol 4s user. Still hopeful though

Same problems here!

Yeah. No sound boost and it seems like the speakers just aren't as loud anymore. I didn't like using it for music, but it was great for enhancing the volume of speech in movies and YouTube. I wonder why they removed it :/

For the idol4s stiil no root options ...so we can't replace file system...too bad...I miss boomkey soundoost too

Posting in an old thread but oh well.
There is a way to fix the sound boost, however, it requires factory resetting your device. I've had to do this a few times and it's fixed it every time.
They didn't remove the feature in an update, it's simply a bug I believe. It seems to happens when I hard boot my phone while the boom sound is on, which upon restarting, it boots with the boosted sound stuck on with no way of turning it off or on.
If there were a way to get into the files, it'd be best to figure out where the sound boost files are being hosted, and then either deleteing them (in hopes that they auto reinstall), or force stopping the program (sort of like rebooting the program that hosts the boom feature altogether).
I hope some one can come along and fix this bug that doesn't require a factory reset.

Thanks ?

Phone Got restarting on opening Camera

Hi,
After updating to June Security Patch , I have some problems
First The Camera ,
When I open camera after a few seconds Phone will got restart , it doesnt matter its Nokia Pro camera or Google Camera app
I tested both
and another problem is Sound , when the media volume is high playing in musics or videos sound will be laggy (it will be mute for a bit and playing , and this will repeat)
I tried Factory Reset , anyone else has this problems?

Well now even my speaker is beginning to have problems with high sounds. Dream phone ? I will try to send it on warranty and I will see...

I also have this problem, noticed it after i updated to october security patch, tried reformatting multiple times but to no avail.
In my case not only the camera app force reboots my phone.
Speakers also have the same problem, at a certain volume level the sound breaks /lags.
Hopefully this is just a software problem, my phone doesn't have warranty anymore...

Did you try factory reset? Did it help? I am going to try it cause I need my phone for work and I don't want to be 30 days without phone.

No factory reset did not work, but I noticed that keeping the phone plugged into a charger keeps it from restarting.

Yes I have it same... It can be only problem with battery maybe.

Yeah, best to have the battery checked and replaced, hopefully I can find a service center here in the Philippines

When I open camera after a few seconds Phone will got restart , it doesnt matter its Nokia Pro camera or Google Camera app
I tested both
and another problem is Sound , when the media volume is high playing in musics or videos sound will be laggy (it will be mute for a bit and playing , and this will repeat)
I tried Factory Reset , anyone else has this problems?
or Solution to fix
A guide for Downgrade will be great

I try to fix it from the care center.
They need to replace the mainboard, battery, and the loudspeaker. South Borneo, Indonesia needs approx 3 weeks for the indent parts. Fortunately, i still have the guarantee. Tomorrow i will give the device to them to fix the problems. Hopefully it works best result.
Just FYI, from my experience.

Yeah, same problem here. Phone restarting on opening camera, and when while watching video with volume above 66%
I've tried factory reset, and even reflash stock room but still doesn't work. Maybe it only happened with android pie? Anyone try downgrade to oreo?

I did every possibilities, did not work.
Downgrade too, manually by my self.
Downgrade by the care center also did not fix it.
Sorry to say it.
Its the hardware, dont know what cause it. Best possible its caused by the update. May the software cause the hardware broken..? ??
HMD, please... R u serious 2 produce a flagship phone?

Same problems here. HMD is crap!
I purchased this device in October 2017 and the problems have just amplified like crazy.
After the April update, random reboots, distorted audio, ultra slow charging.
A lot of money down the drain as this phone has NO RESALE VALUE either.
This is not a flagship. This is a phone made of all the leftover reject cheap hardware materials and hence it sounds good on paper.
The only credibility it has is because of Google and Qualcomm.
Honestly, after 20 months of use, I can say I've never used such a horrible device ever. This phone is pure headache.

what a disappointing phones by Nokia, disaster, disgraceful to users. I think this i s my last Nokia phone (at least last by HMD)

Guess what..?
Ive been waiting for 3 weeks for the repair.
The care center said rhat i must wait for 2 more weeks and then they will tell me the approx time to wait for more.
So,
3 weeks passed,
2 weeks more to wait an info,
Dont know if that after the 5th week the device is ready for use or not.
Wasting much money to buy this one.
I feel sick at once

Nothing like this. HMD is the only one who did this ever.

I too facing this problem for the past 3 weeks or so. Random restarts especially when starting the banners camera. Someimes 2or 3 such episodes. The problem with the sound cracking at high volumes I've been having for 2 months now. The problem increases when the battery guess below 40%. And decreases when it is being charged. ?? A battery issue. Maybe not because otherwise I've a decent battery life.

General Can't turn on WiFi and Bluetooth

Was about to put it as a [Question] but decided to place it as possible troubleshoot and experience for anyone with same problem.
Damn, was not expecting this and out of the blue.
I used my mi11ultra normally today, on Xiaomi.eu 12.5.11.0.
I order from Uber, while i waited, was playing asphalt 9. Then poof, lost my wifi connection. Could use mobile data.
At 30% battery remaining.
Couldn't connect to wifi and decided to reboot my phone.
For a few tries turning on wifi reboots my phone after freezing for a few seconds.
Sometimes it doesnt even turn on(no blue icon)
Turn off phone and let the heat dissipate. it's not hot today, and im using FHD res at 120hz, also haven't been playing for a long time, maybe 30minutes.
Tried restart i wiped daivilk and art cache on twrp.
Tried updating just now to 12.5.12.0 , nothing.
Tried Reset Wifi, bluetooth and mobile, nothing.
It lets me, sometimes, enable wifi, search for networks, connect and the wifi shuts down after about 5 seconds.
Right now as i was writing this and decide charged the phone so i could factory wipe. Im at 60% battery and the issue is gone for now.
I posting BOLD on battery comment because i found it that that was the issue oddly enough.
I'm charging the phone till 100% and will let you know if it happens again. "i hope i don't jinx it."
My greatest fear is that i would have to send it to repairs which takes time.

I Jinxed it . Going to Factory reset.
Watched abit of Netflix and then suddenly it freezed the phone and rebooted automatically.
EDIT: It's a faulty wifi module... Have to send it for repairs

Was it a Chinese version or global originally?

Chinese version. I even flashed original stock Chinese rom 12.5.12.0 and locked bootloader and it freezes and reboots itself when using wifi or bluetooth.

Sounds like it might be a hardware issue if it persists across all ROMs
Do you have a warranty to get a free fix ?

It had warranty, yes, and it was the Wifi module but ultimately i decided to get a refund.
Curiously i read it's a Mi 11 Series issue, if you decide to search in google "mi 11 wifi issue".
So i have to say farewell to Mi 11 Ultra Community.
My decision was done with several annoyances from Xiaomi and not for the hardware itself, all the crazy features and camera are badass.
Lack of optimization,
Missing gestures navigation with different launchers(which other manufactures already fixed long time ago in android 11...)
Generic updates(same changelog for all devices) and lack of transparency.
I still advise my friends and family to get a Xiaomi device for what they get for the price and i keep getting impressed by the hardware in these devices.
Also love the ecosystem and new features being added every MIUI version.
I got a POCO M3 with Android 10 Xiaomi.eu, that works gesture navigation and doesn't need third party apps.
I think it all comes down to software, because in the hardware department there isn't any complain from me.
I might even get a Poco X3 Pro for 170€ for a secondary device and install some AOSP rom there.
This decision might change in the future since Xiaomi said they are implementing a team dedicated for software issues, but not to this device.
Until then goodbye

Just my opinion,
seems like all hardware issues are happening to people who flashed non stock rom's.
Fingerprints before, and now wifi and Bluetooth.
Glad I am with global version and stock rom (tried .eu for a while and found it garbage). fingers crossed to stay happy
