Crashed W595, Digging out the reason Options

[Corman]

Note: the problem is already fixed - this topic is about why it happened


Well, I tried sending a song to my brother's W302, and my W595 (R3EA037) didn't find it, altough we sat next to each other. So we tried again and again, and suddenly my W595 rebooted (the first time since the latest FW), leaving an awful mess.

Problem 1: The reboot deleted all of my themes, meaning that the screen was ed up: it displayed white with ugly blue colours, and the menu text was only visible when I navigated to and highlighted it. This was easily solved by reuploading my themes.

Problem 2: it deleted my network access! Instead of my operator name, all it said was 'No networks available'. I tried everything to fix that (including replacing the boot folder with a backup I had made before), but only a full (SEUS) flash fixed it.

My phone is now up and running again, but I would like to know what happened. It still got picked up by A2Uploader as I could upload the backup boot files, but inside the tpa folder, it displayed 4 new folders with corrupted names like @=/%µ]. Those could not be deleted as A2Uploader gave 'a2_fsChmod err:000F' when I tried

Edit: happened twice, thanks to pakraider I was able to restore all my settings and text messages

I hope that dont happen to mine: Im still running the original firmware though

I was unpleasantly surprised when it happened, as the new FW has been great till then. It's faster and IMO more stable (allthough I doubt that now ) than the older R3DA0xx versions.
I was afraid the reboot messed up the GDFS, but luckily it didn't.

It happened again ... Reflashing as we speak

[cchaos]

Too many mods?

Having said that, mine rebooted today whilst I was trying to make a call after playing some music (wasnt battery, as it was on charge all the time it was playing music)

[Corman]

I experimented with jjpatcher, but I only applied 2 patches. For the rest custom PHF_PLay acoustics and a new camera driver, plus fonts and a new Media lay-out. That doesn't seem overdone I'd think

[kuncung]

How bout fw instalation? Or its buggy?

[Corman]

W595 FW is very stable in general

I've had my w595 with no mods and the latest generic firmware, crash while playing tetris and not start up again, i had to reflash the phone

[Corman]

I always (=twice ) reflash using SEUS, how did you flash? If by A2Uploader, only the Main or a full-flash?

I use SEUS and upload some custom 3 certs and such with a2uploader.

After using my W910 for a year and half ..... I find reboots as normal as sunrises and sunsets !! But ur cases in point are pretty shocking !!

Back to the topic >
I wonder .... What is the state of ur Internal Memory ?? I mean have you ever had problems with it ??

[Corman]

I still have 13MB of internal memory left, so that can't be the problem (besides, I noticed it varies through the day, I think the phone uses some sort of pagefile as Windows does to get extra heap or something )
