Having random reboots on lastest OTAs - Realme 6 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
My devices reboots 4-5 per day since the august stock OTA. I thought that Magisk was the problem, so I didn´t tried to fix that. Otherwise, since I updated to the last version, 2 days ago, and removed root, the problem persist. Anyone had ever any similar problem?
By the why, I have to say that I made a few factory resets in the last months; doing this fixes the problem for me temporally, but the reboots happen again after other few (2-3) days.

Not here, sorry to read that.

Hi
No problems here, but I'm not rooted.

The battery life decrease a lot too, but this time just after rooting. With same SO version, my phone last 4:30-5h of screen on without Magisk, but it hardly gets 2:30-3h after installing that. Any idea?

G3 Restarts for no reason after the Lollipop update.

Been Using G3 for the past 5 months. Faced tonnes of issues with over heating, restarting, etc.
But I thought all would be resolved with the Lollipop update.
Unfortunately, that's not the case here. I just updated to Lollipop last night and faced 3 inappropriate restarts in less than 24 hrs.
Any Suggestions or remedial measure is welcome guys. Using a stock and Unrooted device for now.

Why would you think everything magically solves itself by a simple update?
What you could try is flashing the latest .kdz for your device via a "normal flash" which wipes everything from your phone so you're back at the beginning, most of the time that solves half of the problems on here.
Please use the forum search function or Google to find out how to flash a .kdz file onto your G3 and how to obtain your latest .kdz file.
Thanx for the hint.
Flashed the new kdz (D85520A_00) and yet my fone restarts as before. Sometimes its so annoying that it continuously restarts.
Thanx again for replying.

Upgraded to Oreo yesterday, rebooting randomly...

As the title says, phone has randomly rebooted
... twice in the last few minutes, both times I had picture in picture going while sending a text...has anyone else experienced this? Also, the boot time is amazingly fast at least!

Did you do a wipe when you flashed or just update? If you just did an update, I would try to reinstall and let it wipe the device.
Yup. I'm experiencing this as well. Happened to me twice yesterday. Maybe try a factory reset?

Having the same issue did a complete factory install with the stock image.
Then rooted not sure if that is causing my issues but, is anyone else stock not rooted having random reboots?
I've had 3 reboots since jumping on Oreo. Did my update the clean way through a factory reset and flashing a factory image. Stock, unrooted.

Stock, updated via ota... Having 5 to 6 reboots per hour. Google is sending a replacement phone.
Maybe you have to do a factory reset.
Reason why i havent upgraded. Still on a rock solid nougat until google fix all this problems. Maybe 8.1 or so. Seem like reboot is a common problem with the pixel,. All thread about orea theres someone talking about his reboot problem in many different sites.

That sounds much like a hardware failure... :crying:
I had random reboots too coming from DP4 to FInal. No more random reboots since I flashed the factory images
Is 8.0 the version that is the start of the new OS updating system? I wonder if the partitioning is getting all screwed up? I think I'll stay on 7.1.2 for a bit longer till this gets ironed out.

Just don't download the OTA till they send out a patch. That's what I'm doing.

when i first updated to oreo and rooted it, i ran into the rebooting issues some of you are experiencing. i think the root of my issue was busybox. i did a clean install of oreo again the other day and rooted, but didnt put busybox on the phone. phone ran fine for a day, so i tried giving busybox another go. the reboot issues came back. hope this helps
Mine only reboots randomly if I have YouTube picture in picture enabled once I disabled it I haven't had any reboots maybe try to disable that
Just did the update a couple hours ago and so far so good. Picture in picture works too. Stock, GPE on VZW, no root or anything.

Guys, anyone still getting random on persistent reboots on Oreo with Pixel (XL)? I'm doing my second factory reset atm and monitoring these two threads on buganiser - 1, 2. Basically people started getting reboots after upgrading to Oreo and one notable common thing is: 'Sense Key : Hardware Error [current]' which Google reps assigned to the threads read as hardware issue (probably with Toshiba's memory chips being prone to overflow/overload (?)). They haven't answered my question why is it only happening on Oreo though. I REALLY don't want to go through the warranty process again only to get a device with the same problem as I still believe it can be fixed in 8.1. Is there anyone who had similar issues that got fixed with the 8.1 Beta? Cheers!
I'm experiencing the random reboots too.
Oct. 8.0, Magisk, Root
I almost missed an alarm due to this, so I think I may go back to Nougat. Not only does it reboot, but it gets stuck in the boot screen. If I hold Power and reboot, it comes up though.

randomly reboots beta28

Hi guys,
I updated my op3 to latest beta 28 but I got random reboots when I'm not using it;
in fact, usually it reboots when charging or when it's in standby, and other moments like that.. I really don't know why!
I checked the MD5 of the zip, I flashed with the latest bluspark 8.54 and I did a full wipe;
I also reflashed with a dirty flash the ROM(and other ROMs based on Oxy).
Nothing changed.. it appears 2-3 times per day.
Anyone of you got the same error? which could be a solution?
I had exactly the same problem, but flash rom via adb fixed that.
not experiencing any.. stock non rooted...

Sounds interesting.. will try! Thx in advance
Morning! You're not the onlyone having troubles with OB28, I'm facing similar issues aswell. Decided to wipe all and perform another clean install (not via adb as suggested above) yesterday afternoon and no issues so far. Will keep you updated
Running ExperienceOS by Jamal btw, which is based on stock OB28
I have had this as well. Just keeps rebooting randomly.
Dirty flashing the rom ob28 helps and keeps it stable. But then it reappears after some time randomly. It could be after a few hours or a day or two as well. Yesterday it just started rebooting while it was lying on the desk.
I suspect it could be because of a custom kernel. I have moved from custom to stock (rooted) for now. Lets see
Having same with ob28 also with 5.0. Sometimes it starts rebooting when charging, sometimes while just laying on the desk. 2 times I had it rebooted to recovery. I have even missed an alarm. I found a phone rebooted to recovery in the morning.
Yesterday clean installed 5.0. Rebooted 10 minutes ago. Dirty flashed ob28, retooting also.

In another thread, someone suggested rooting with SuperSU instead of Magisk. Tried that and now stable of over 2 days. You might give it a try
It has something to do with magisk or bluspark twrp in combination with something. Tried installing Supersu. Rebooting stopped, but dm-verity message appeared when booting. Decided to format everything. Flashed original recovery, but it could not decrypt file system. Tapped on forgot my password and it wiped everything. Sideloaded OOS 5.0, rebooted, then flashed twrp via fastboot. Flashed magisk 14.5. Stable for 2 days.

I have 2 oneplus 3 (one for me and my wife). I installed on both the latest beta Hydrogen OS (basically the same version as OB28).
On both devices, magisk 14.5 is installed.
And yes, I received random reboots maybe 1-2 days one time. And once rebooted, sometimes it will reboot again few seconds after that for few times.
Usually to stop that, after the reboot done, I will reboot the phone manually as fast as possible. And it will be okay for another 1-2 days.
So far I can live with this. But I might downgrade my wife's phone to something else stable

Same behaviour here on OxygenOS 5.0 with Magisk 14.5 and Boeffla kernel. I usually wipe cache and dalvik in TWRP 3.2 and then it's fine for a couple of hours (or days, if I'm lucky).
Quick update from my side. It's been 6 days since I replaced Magisk and rooted with SuperSU and it definitely solved my issues. No reboots or whatsoever.

Been in SuperSU for 3 days. No issues so far
Op3 ob28
I had random reboots on Freedom OS 3.1 after about two weeks of use with stock kernel and Magisk 14 (no issues before that). Flashed Blu Spark 207, didn't help. Flashed FOS 3.2: neither. Somebody suggested aggressive dose to be the culprit. It wasn't as I didn't had it enabled for starters. I Flashed official OB28 + magisk and stock kernel... And after one day, reboot. Flashed Blu Spark 208, reboot. But after a couple more reboots last week, they seem to have gone by themselves:
$ uptime
02:00:49 up 4 days, 6:48, load average: 2.98, 2.01, 2.24
*I had not tried using super su instead.
What can we do to debug this issue? Seems like everybody is trying to guess in the dark...
---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------
If I may suggest, there seems to be a sort of "environmental" origin for this... I've noticed some "correlated incidence of reboots" between unrelated devices, regardless of specific OB variant (OB, FOS, EOS), kernel (stock, Blu), and root method, based on number of complaints and reports of generically unsuccessful attempts to solve the issue in the respective ROM threads, and here too.
Besides, I've not been able to identify any usage related trigger: this has happened to me while phone is idle, while browsing this thread, while driving thru unknown and dangerous streets guided by Waze, while commuting on the subway and only listening music...
Some more rigurous analysis of the prevalence of these reboots as a function of time might prove useful...
Also, there seems to be a growing incidence between users. There seems to be also a "incubation time" for most of us (but not for everybody). Are we sure we are not talking about some disease?
Just had another reboot. No Magisk log created...
But on every reboot I seem to lose some settings (in the settings app). Which setting is lost, seems completely random: battery optimization setting, LED notification setting, configured sounds,...
Aaand..... Two reboots lastima friday, and about 5 today...
This Is turning into a real deal breaker...
Experiencing back to back reboots form morning on stable Oreo op3. Imma switch back to 7.1 til the time its solved
I also have problems with reboots, but they have given way. Now I have a problem with the phone's sudden heating and battery drain this.

Those experiencing reboots .. pls specify if it's with or without magisk. And if it's with, which version. And if it's without, what other modding have you done.
Will be helpful to establish the common thing in the setup causing the reboots

With magisk 14.0 and later magisk 14.5. Now I'm testing without root at all, as it seems to be magisk related, it is also reported on the magisk thread.

[Q][HELP!!!]Xperia Z5 Premium Facing Severe lag:

Hello everyone.
A few days ago i was just normally using my Xperia Z5 Premium then all of a sudden my phone started lagging. No button was responding, screen became totally unresponsive as well. I had to hard shutdown the phone and restart it. It worked but then after about an hour it started to happen again. I just flashed the latest 32.4.a.1.54 firmware (clean install) and started all over again. It worked for a day or two and then back to the same ****ty lag. I am unable to figure out what exactly is the problem. At first i thought that maybe the ta_po+Magisk 14.5 is causing the problem. To clear the doubt i tried to use old drm fix from tobias's tool but it is also happening after it. I have flashed my phone over 10 times to solve the issue by trying to know if a magisk module is causing the problem or not but nothing. I cannot find any error in magisk log nor did this happen on installing any thing. It all started out of nowhere and now i'm pissed. Please someone help me troubleshoot this issue.
I am using stock rom stock kernel for modifications and not the available custom kernels or roms.
P.S: while doing all that drm + root thing i have always followed the exact instructions in doing so. My method worked well with the past firmwares. It also worked with this latest S.H.I.T but now it's bothering me. I have tried searching the web and tried using the available solutions (So called Movie Creator app problem and Blah Blah Blah) but S.H.I.T happended.....:crying::crying::crying:

Touch screen on 5T randomly stops responding

I've been having this issue where the touchscreen on my OP 5T will be working just fine but the next second just turn unresponsive to any touch, and no amount of rebooting fixes it.
So far, I've tried using the unbricking tool and restored it to OOS 5.1.3, wiped everything off the phone and tried the latest OOS 9.0.1, and even some custom ROMs like Pixel Experience, both the official Oreo version and some unofficial Pie versions.
I even tried installing custom kernels like the blu-spark kernel and the π kernel.
But here's the thing, all of these work right after making the change but the touchscreen stops working a day later. I'm still on the fence if this is a hardware or a software issue, because (do please correct me if I am wrong) a hardware issue would be if it was totally unresponsive and not work fine after installing a new ROM/kernel, which is not the case here, leading me to assume it has to be something in the software related?

Same problem. Did you solve this problem?
Has anyone found a permanent solution to this? Or at least a reason? My op 5t also stops responding randomly to the touch. This is really bad.
I also have this problem as well. It seems that many users have this issue. OnePlus should take a close look at it
I have been having this issue for more than 6 months. The problem came after one update during android Oreo if not mistaken (Which update i can't remember)
For my phone, the screen will be unresponsive during the below occasions:
1. After rebooting the phone, touchscreen is unresponsive for up to a minute
2. When browsing pictures in gallery
3. When taking picture using portrait mode
4. When google play is updating apps
5. When google photo is backing up photos.
I am also doubting if is a hardware or software issue, because it only happened in some occasion previously for my case. Tried wipe and install stable/open beta a few times, same thing.
After the latest open beta update, it got even worst, other than the above occasions, the screen start to stop working randomly (be it watching a youtube video or using chrome), its getting annoying as i need to restart my phone a few times a day.
I saw alot of people having this issue, but has yet to raise concern of OnePlus.
I've recently had the same problem, I was still running Lineage 15.1 and had not updated my firmware in months because the official builds switched to 16, then suddenly 2 weeks ago the touch screen stops responding while I was actually using it. Reboots didn't help, clearing cache and flashing lineage didn't help. In the end I somehow got it to work again by flashing the last open beta - but even then it didn't work right after flashing it, I had to leave it over night then it mysteriously started responding again in the morning.
I've just had it happen again and I have tried removing the screen protector and completely discharging the battery as some people on the oneplus forum have reported this helps, but it did not work for me. I really can't be bothered going through the whole process of re-flashing open beta then flashing back to lineage and installing all my apps an restoring my data again, but the only other option at this point is to try take it apart to check the screen is still connected to the motherboard properly....
solution
I also faced this problem, then i tried to degrade it to android oreo, and somehow i never faced touch issue, i think this is a bug in android pie,

I'm not sure about that, the first time I had the issue appear I was still running oreo, as I mentioned, I hadn't updated anything in months due to the lineage nightlies switching to Pie.... That said, certainly seems like most people who have reported it mentioned upgrading to Pie
Facing same issue..
I have a similar issue too..
It started several months ago, when the screen used to randomly stop working, a quick hard reboot usually solved the issue.
But about a month ago, the screen stopped responding altogether and any amount of reboot did not work. So too the device to Oneplus service, there they flashed it to 9.0.7, and the screen started working again, and continued working for a few more hours, until it stopped responding again.
Tried flashing several times using the unbricking tool, but all efforts in vain.
Finally after a month or so, I bought a new phone, and today I just wanted to see if anything has changed on OP5T, and to my surprise, the touch screen started working again.
So this time I enabled USB Debugging, permanently enabled OTG, so that even if the screen stops working, I can use an external keyboard/mouse.
But OP5T is no longer my primary device, and hence I have moved on to a different manufacturer, as I saw absolutely no point in buying another Oneplus and god knows what will happen a year down the line...
Has anyone found a solution to this? I am facing the same problem with my oneplus 5T.

I was just searching this issue online. I'm currently facing it as well.
Rebooting the phone makes it go away. I face this issue while charging the phone via official dash charger.
I'm running stock Oxygen OS 5.1.7 running Oreo 8.1.0. I faced this issue 6-8 months ago as well. I cleared 7gb free space in my phone then it started working fine then. My device is 64GB variant. I never updated to Android Pie.
This is a major problem in OnePlus 5 and 5t. I've seen many posts on both XDA and official oneplus forums but found no guaranteed solution so far. I was thinking of flashing custom kernel but then saw here that people are still facing this issue in custom ROMs.
I thought I had solved the problem by installing the RenderZenith kernel, which someone on the oneplus forums recommended in the thread there dealing with this issue... but it has resurfaced after a couple of months without issue. Rebooting does not fix the issue for me, I have to flash a stock firmware, and sometimes reboot a few times, before the touchscreen starts working again. I tried installing CarbonROM instead of Lineage to see if that made a difference but it lasted about a day before the problem reoccurred. I am now going to try a Q-based ROM (probably Carbon) to see if that makes any difference, but I am not hopeful. I have even had the issue occur once while I was still running stock 9.0.9 and had not yet got to reflashing a custom ROM, had to do a full wipe and reinstall the stock ROM again to get it working.
I'm about ready to throw this phone in the bin and buy something new - only problem is I don't know what. Certainly not going to waste money on another oneplus after this debacle but there aren't many other options that are good for custom ROMs. Too bad OOS is such insecure trash and Oneplus as a company cant be trusted, otherwise I might at least see how I go running stock for a while.

I'm not running OOS now, but I have had the issue occur while I was. I am just re-flashing OOS to get the touchscreen to work again, but actually I can't even get the setup wizard to work once the phone boots (hangs on the "just a sec" screen), so I am usually flashing another custom ROM once the screen works again. I managed to get to about 6 hours of normal usage last night before the screen stopped responding again - after fighting with the phone all day and most times not getting much past installing magisk modules.
I am starting to think the problem is related to either Magisk, or the riru kernel hooking modules necessary for Xprivacylua (which is mandatory to install IMO) - I had been using the YAHFA module mostly but yesterday I tried Sandhook to see if it made any difference - that was when I managed to get to 6 hours instead of 30 minutes, but it was also when I went back to Magisk 19.3 instead of installing 20.2. Now that I think back, I am wondering if it was upgrading Magisk from 19.x to 20.x that made the issue resurface after a couple of months without it.... Can't remember for certain, but it seems like the most plausible explanation. I tried flashing Magisk uninstaller this time when the screen stopped, but it didn't help - only reflashing back to stock works (sometimes it even takes a few goes). Whatever the problem is, it seems like it is tripping some hardware related switch which only gets reset when installing stock FW.
the other thought I had was that perhaps the hooking framework is getting in the way - like it intercepts the screen touches before they are processed, but it bugs out for some reason and they never get passed on to the OS. I don't know enough about how it works honestly, or any idea how to go about debugging such a weird problem, so no way to look into it.
Anyway, to answer you other question - I never had the problem with OOS 5.1.7, I have never run stock OOS on my phone, but the first time I had the problem was with Lineage 15.1 Oreo 8.1.0. I can't remember if at that time I was running stock xposed or edxposed.
I'm close to my wits end here. IF the problem turns out to be magisk related, it's pretty much new phone time - I doubt even if I logged a bug report it will get looked at any time soon much less resovled, and I simply refuse to run an android phone without xprivacylua.

Edexposed is for Pie ROMS as there's been no development for Pie from official developer for xposed. Chances are you were running xposed only on Oreo 8.1.0.
Today I flashed Franco Kernel on my phone, been running smooth so far. I used to get non-responsiveness while dash charging specifically. Let's see how it goes. Will keep you updated.
Bugger it... I managed to get to 4 days or so after flashing back to LOS 16.1 / Magisk 19.3 / Edxposed YAFHA / Franco kernel, but it has just crapped out on me again.
This time I has tried a slowly-slowly approach, at first running just the stock OS and apps for a few hours, then gradually started installing magisk, riru, edexposed, then finally xprivacylua - Didn't have any problems up to there. Then I installed pico gapps, and used the Play store to do a fresh install of Mobius Final Fantasy instead of restoring from Titanium backup (this game is actually the only real reason I need gapps at all :-/). Mobius is a PITA because its like a 5Gb download, so it takes a long time to reinstall rather than restore from TB. Anyway it seemed like it was working ok for a few days after the fresh install but I just picked up the phone as couldn't unlock it. I have noticed that often the problem does occur while I am playing the game and I have wondered if there is something about it which makes it more likely to trigger, but it can't be the only thing as it happens even during the setup wizard sometimes.... bloody infuriating.
Anyway... not sure what to do now. Really CBF going through the back-to-stock dance again. Meh.
