Root [International] Random reboots after root, Galaxy S4

Hey there Android forums!

So here is my issue.
its been about a week now since i rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4 and the root went all smoth and all that. But the device keep making these random reboots. And they are pretty often, like once every 2 hours and it's starting to go on my nerves..

Anyway to fix this? Cause if there isn't i might just flash the device to stock.

Things good to know is that i've uninstalled Busybox just a couple of minutes ago from the device as i heard some people thought that the reboots came from there. I also uninstalled all the Knox apk's and system files about a minute ago from the device and all this was through Titanium Backup.

I will respond tomorrow to see if any random reboots have been made under they day!
If no reboots will occur this might be the solution for everyone having this issue!

Thank you!
 
I doubt it's "Busy Box" and uninstalling it will limit your options when modding a rooted phone. As for uninstalling anything that came embedded in the firmware using Titanium backup, be careful. Much better to "freeze" things rather than uninstall until your 100% certain it is not vital or needed by any other system processes or apps. Sometimes uninstalling (or freezing that you can undo) will cause problems with seemingly unrelated things.

Your random reboots. How did you root and are you rooted stock firmware?

I am glad to say that this actually fixed my random reboots, have been having the device totally away from random reboots three days now! And yes i rooted the device from stock firmware and rooted it with Ironass's dummies guide. Now that i know that this fixed the issue the real question is, what fixed it? Whas it the Busy Box or was it Knox? Me myself think that it was Knox as i've read that it makes some rooted devices not get access and give certain apps access through SuperSU!
But i'm not quite sure though. I will be installing Busy Box later today or tomorrow to see if the device works fine with it installed!

Cheers!
