Hi there,

I'm using the latest cm9 nightlies and everything works fine untill last night. When i start the phone, everything seems normal, but after a few minutes the phone reboots and the CyanogenMod 9 screen appears, but doesn't disappear. So i have to get my battery out to start the phone again. I tried to restore a backup, but the same problem appears.

Does anyone knows how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago. I was not able to find the cause but the problem went away after rebuilding the dalvik cache and fixing permissions.

I wiped the dalvik cache and did fixing permissions, but still have the same problem.

Anyone else?

I figured out what the problem is. When i enable WIFI, i can't connect to my home network (keeps optaining ip adress), and then the phone starts to act weird en becomes very slow. After a bit the phone starts to reboot. I dit a factory reset / wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache and installed the latest cm9 nightly (03-05), but the problem is still there.

Does someone knows how to fix this?

Thanks a lot!

Also try manually wiping the /system partition from within recovery. This can be found under the Mounts and Storage menu. Then reinstall CM and gapps.

A few nights ago my phone had an automatic reboot with almost the same consequences, but I think it was due to a bad 20120503 update. Anyway, this kept happening in my case as long as I didn't consider limiting the amount of stuff I overcharged my /data partition with. It might also have to do with the /system partition, but I never tried formatting that one.
I read somewhere that it's a buggy memory design we SGS users have to deal with. As long as I treat my SGS as if it had the internal memory of a Xperia Neo V everything works fine. But then again, I'm no wise guy. I just write from my average experience.

Thanks for your replies. I am back on cm9 with a fully working wifi. I flashed back te stock android. Then flashed cwm and cm9. A long way to fix it, but it worked.

Is not a good idea, to reflesh from the beggining. Someone have to fit it into cm9!

My i9000 is also doing this. I find that if I let the screen turn off on its own it just starts rebooting. I have tried a ton of things except complete wipe to original and try again.

Any fix?

Attempted multiple nightlies.

Try my suggestion above of formatting the /system partition.

[tylerlaczko]

Just did this. Still having issues.

How can I completely start over. Where can I get stock everything and try again?
