[Q] Froyo --> random reboots with a clean ROM - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Everything started when I did OTA update to Froyo...
My Desire reboot randomly when I use Nav, Maps, Browser, etc...
I tried to downgrade the HBOOT to 0.80 with a PB99IMG.zip package in order to get a clean place to do again the update.
The OTA update did not available after that...
So, I root it with Unrevoked, put a 2.2 official Froyo from Modaco with associated radio rom, install all my usual applications (Task killer, Reminder, Calendar, etc...) and try to use my phone again... with random reboots again
I made a swip of all that I could, re-install official Froyo ROM with radio, without anny application... and then, try it again... with random reboots !!!
Sometimes, it reboot in loop and then stay on the first HTC screen.
The back of the handset is hot when it reboot (but was more hot without any problem before, when I was under Android 2.1 and Nav activated).
The phone is not branded... and I use it with Bouygues Telecom.
I not use my gel case since I had the problem, as I though it could be an overheat issue.
And I have already read other topics about Froyo and reboots but not find something that could help me
Anybody could help me ?

i have the same issue. The only way to fix it is to underclock the cpu or open the back cover and blow at the bottom on the phone where the cpu is located.'
Or you can always return it to htc service (remember to flash original rom,radio and hboot and unroot)
The issue is that the phone got very hot and actually burned some stuff in there making a shortcircuit, before my phone could withstand over 50'C, Now it reboots at 40'C. I seriously think the phone has been fried!

I have exactly same problem.. it's very annoying!!! Anybody can help??
Maybe some app do it?
First it happened only in browser on some websites (after debrand + FROYO). I suspected Flash plugin.
But then it starts happened randomly everywhere - when reading PDF, use Navigation...
Even if i downgrade with PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed_txt.zip and then receive new OTA 2.10.405...
bug is still there!

[Q] Desire lock problem

I'm having a really annoying problem with my Desire, whenever I try to lock it my screen automatically switches on again. And when I keep trying to lock it, my phone reboots. This problem occurred yesterday and not for any apparent reason, I didn't do anything with my phone that I don't normally do.
My phone is rooted so I thought it would easily be fixable with a complete reset/wipe and installing a new rom, but unfortunately it didn't fix anything.
So now I'm losing hope and I'm starting to get afraid it's an hardware issue unable to be fixed by me. So has anyone ever experienced this problem, and more importantly have you found a way to fix it?

Dutch Vodafone HTC Desire

2.29.405.2 update bugfest - any way to roll back?

Did the 2.29.405.2 update OTA initially and noticed problems. So reinstalled it from SD card but no help.
Bought sim free, unbranded/locked and never rooted:
Cannot dial out from phone lists or contacts. Going to phone and clicking on an entry in the call list does not launch phone call any more. Going to contacts, opening one and clicking on an available phone number does not launch phone any more.
The only way I can make a call is to punch it in on the keypad! Grrr.
Wifi connects to my home base after a reboot but, after an undetermined amount of time it drops the connection and cannot get it again. Going to Wifi settings shows it scans, connects and tries to obtain IP address. After a short time it gives up, turns wifi off and starts over. Again & again.
Cannot get it to connect again without another reboot.
This is a crippling loss of functionality for me. Can anyone suggest a way to roll back this update so my phone works as id did?
Many thanks all,
M1
First try a hard rest(you will lose all personal data on the phone,pictures and other stuff on the SD will be fine). If that does not work try either the 2.29.405.2 or 2.10.405.2 RUU.
More info - to my horror, around 15 minutes after I had tried and failed to make calls from contacts the phone started making them one after the other as if they were stuck in a spool or something! Ouch - any thoughts?
Backup everything you can and flash the same ruu from shipped roms.

Thanks to all for help on this. Decided worth a trouble shoot before a hard reset and culprit seems to have been an app - extended controls widget. Removed this and all seems well again.
Try this one. This definately works! i have used it.

I was stuck at 2.29 update.
Then i used this guide and windows tool.
So i did this process and it rolled my phone back to stock android 2.1 rom 1.X
The first version that the phone was bought with.
This tool will boot the phone into bootloader and load a stock 1.x rom ota off the sd card as the tool will extract it to sd card and then load it.
This will wipe all your data not sure about the sd card as i dont remember any of that because i formatted my sd card after i had used the tool.
Thats because i had rooted my phone and tried custom sense hd rom.
The only reason i had was of the battery usage as the consumption was very badly increased and that the 2.29 rom was unstable.
PS: I did first try the htc service in Denmark. They couldn't help me and said i was stuck with the 2.29 rom update. :/
After my phone got rolled/flashed back to stock android 2.1.
The next day in the morning i could upgrade again to android 2.2 rom ver. 2.10 OTA from htc servers.
Maybe this works for you as i did for me and others.
Turns out it wasn't the app.
After a couple of days playing ok my sim free stock htc desire is unstable again.
Cut me off mid call - went to phone and clicked on last call entry - absolutely nothing happened, repeated with same problem. Exited phone to home screen then opened contacts and tried to make call from there - same behavior, a complete hang.
No web access either so opened wifi manager to find it hanging on "obtaining IP address" from my home network and continually shutting down and restarting wifi automatically at this stage.
Noticed general UI lag and several apps failing to open too.
Left phone alone and again, around 10 minutes later all of the actions - including trying to make the phone calls started running one after the other. Like everything had been caught in a spool or something. After this all seemed OK until it happened all over again later.
Although the UI seemed OK and some apps worked as expected, the only way to get phone and wifi working whilst it was hung was a warm boot.
Dreading a hard reset as it's going to waste another day or two getting everything reconfigured just so (can't find a back up solution that does everything - multiple mail account settings etc) but looks like only option.
Will try going back to mikep99's suggested rom as soon as I have time and will not be responding to an HTC OTA auto update offer again.
Grrr.
I still suspect an app conflict.
Can anyone recommend a util that might give me a clue which app / sys process could be hogging system / radio resources?
just got another OTA update pushed to me. installed (nothing to loose) and Congratulations my phone has been updated to 2.29.405.5.
Not sure whats going on here as that was the update I got 2 days ago. This time round it was only 4.8mb download so I'm assuming it's an update update. Hope it fixes things .....

[Q] Desire reboots

Hi people!
My HTC Desire has a annoying problem, being that it reboots spontaneously.
Well, maybe not really spontaneously.
I believe that it reboots when I (should) receive a call or message, maybe also with push notifications, but that I don't know.
I tried but can't reproduce the problem by calling or texting myself with another phone. But I does happing when people call or text me, not always tho.
With 2G only of Wifi, I have not experienced the problem.
It began while being on MIUI (with a 3th latest radio or so/beta/nog directly after a update). Because MIUI began to irritate me with its speed and bug now and then, I wiped it all and flashed CM7.1 STABLE, incl latest radio, and installed my apps again.
Still reboots.
Flashed a way older radio. Still reboots.
Pretty important, it does NOT get hot.
Facts:
- 3G off, not experienced a problem
- when 3G off, sometimes no signal
- does not get hot
- different radio's, different roms
- slipt out of my hands and fell in a bath, got I out before it even hit the bottom. This happened two of three 2 days before the problems began
I read about HTC reboot problems on Vodafone NL a while ago.. I am on this network, but the posts are not recent..
I read about HTC Desire reboot problems while using the phone, after it's getting hot (2010 posts).
I did had reboots a few months earlier, but that was a bug on MIUI.
Anyone an idea what the problem is?
Make a complete backup and change rom. If problem persits, go back to stock. If desire still reboots, call HTC.

I was having reboot problems with LeeDroid. Installed Tristan202's kernel, fixed it right up.
Are you undervolting or overclocking? That can cause random reboots when the system can't distinguish the actual signals from the random noise and interference, wither because it's too fast (overclocked too high) or too weak (undervolted too low). Bump up the voltage and/or reduce the clock speed a little, and see if that helps.
I didn't do anything with the clockspeed or so. The max CPU frequency is adjustable in CM7, but left it on 998MHz. I'll try 1075 now?
The link to Leedroid is a froyo. But I like gingerbread. HTC even made a gingerbread rom (available on htc dev center).
And the phone had worked normally on gingerbread.
An other problem I had for a longer time.
Sometimes the phone only uploads and doesn't download (as I can see by watching the arrows). So I internet connection doesn't work then. Putting it on flightmode and back does solve the problem.

I've got same problems. After rooting my HTC Desire and installing Revolution ROM, it has worked well for about 24h, then i was surprised with disappearing all my data (contacts, messages, settings, was needed to log in back to google, sync was off), so i set up everything again, after few hours of normal work, i noticed that i have to enter SIM card PIN code. ok, done. After few more hours SIM card PIN code again. So i reflashed with another custom ROM and phone started to reboot each time at SIM card pin code enter screen, or after finishing booting. Few minutes ago i tryed to reflash with another ROM, which i used to have few months ago and which was pretty stable (Reflex), and now im stuck at HTC boot logo
HBOOT 0.93
Radio 5.11.05.27
Use a RUU, make sure it's the right one for your phone or that you have a goldcard.
I would try Oxygen Rom, it happened to me in the past but it was fixed a bunch of releases back.
Hmm,. running on 1075Mhz now and no reboots since.. while being on 3G and receiving a few calls and (whatsapp) messages.
I don't want to bump into conclusions to fast, but at least it's remarkable.
Or my phone is dryed up.
(@random_factor?) IF the 1075Mhz setting is the solution, how is that possible??
And I just hit the trackball to enter my phone and tadaaaa: reboot
RUU Bravo flashed.. First flashed hboot stock. Still on alpharev bootloader and S-OFF, so if phones still reboots, I must not forget to flash the stock bootloader... hehe. I will post the results ofcourse of the stock rom ofcourse.
[EDIT]
Being on stock rom/radio, I just had another reboot. Guess it's safe to say it's a hardware problem..
1Ro try to install non-A2SD Rom. it'd worked for me.
Funkypotatoe, I've installed the RUU for my phone. So I'm on the original froyo with original radio, so no a2sd and I'm not using android's original apps2sd now.

yeah, call HTC and request a pickup, hopefully you'll get a Desire S
also make sure your bootloader is back to stock (did you flash the downgrader before you ran the RUU?) if you've just got everything stock after the RUU, apart from the bootloader (if you're still S-OFF), go to my guide and there's a section about still s-off after RUU, do the 2nd method since it's quicker and safer..... and if you're already S-ON just ignore everything I've said and call HTC
Yes I'm still S-OFF.
I've checked your guide: Nice work!
I in doubt of if I should send it to HTC, because of the water incident. There are little white strips in the phone and on the battery that turn red when in contact with water.
The strip on the battery is redish, just from wiping it with a 'wet' towel (there were here and there little drops of water). The visible strip in the phone is still white. Don't know if there are more strips inside the phone. I would suck if I send to phone for warranty, and get as a result: waterdamage, 35 euro research costs.

[Q] WiFi is draining the battery. Please help!

Hello dear WFS users,
I'm facing a very annoying and unpleasant problem on my Wildfire S sinse I have unlocked the Bootloader via HTC Dev.
The WiFi antenna sucks the life out of my Marvel's battery (I'm pretty sure this is the reason for the battery drain). I have made numerous factory resets, but non of my attempts to fix this actually work. For now I keep my device in a very "factory" state, without any 3rd party apps installed, without root and without a custom recovery. Yet, my battery can hold on for up to 10 hours of NO custom usage when WiFi is on. When Wifi is off, everything is ok. I check the battery stats in Settings -> About phone on a regular basis and every time they show one and the same thing: the phone just won't go in sleep mode while WiFi is on. Now, I have read about such problems with some extra apps, but all I have installed on the phone are the latest versions of the default apps (Gmail, Facebook, Maps, new Google Search, Market, Youtube). I use no widgets, except for the HTC Clock+Weather; I have deleted all Sync accounts, except Gmail. They have never created any problems, anyway. Just for reference, I haven't messed with my WiFi router/connection.
So please help me, what could be the issue here? What is keeping the WiFi on to drain the battery even when the phone should sleep? And how to fix this? I have Europe Marvel (RUU 2.13.401.2) with unlocked bootloader (1.08.0099) - it says "unlocked" on the top and all... Should I maybe reinstall the 2.3.5 RUU, or the bootloader unlocking .exe? Please, it's very urgent! Thanks in advance!

What radio version?
You mean the baseband, right? It's 47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M, the default one which came with Android 2.3.5, I believe. You'd need S-Off to change radio, right? Anyway, I'm S-On with unlocked bootloader. Just before unlocking the da*n thing I had no problems whatsoever.
Edit: I run the stock ROM and Kernel, too. Very peculiar issue...

Why dony you try some app like juice defender and set it to turn off wifi when you want... But thats not a solution... Maybe before flashing anything, contact htcdev.. In last case you should flash some sense rom, since i see you want all stock..
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Thanks for your suggestions, b02. Although I like Sense I'm not a Sense-freak and I'm willing to try various ROMs. But at this point I don't want to flash anything new because I have to find out the real reason standing behind this WiFi issue. I have to be sure there is no hardware problem (fingers crossed). Juice Defender would be just a workaround and not a resolution of the problem, too.
So, I have dug extensively in the Settings menu and I found something I didn't even know it was there before.
In Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings I press the Menu button and two further options appear in the bottom of the screen: Scan and Advanced. Next, I press Advanced and the first option to be seen here is Wi-Fi sleep policy. It gives me 3 further options: After 15 minutes, Never when plugged in, Never, which obviously determine if/when the WiFi should go to sleep. By default (after numerous Factory resets and after I discovered this thing ) the selected option was Never, so I changed it to After 15 minutes.
Now, this change has worked for me, at least partially. The huge battery drain on standby has stopped for now. Yet, I'm not sure this has been the originally selected option before I encountered this issue. Could someone please check this for me? What is the selected option by default for him/her in this menu?
Only in this way I could be entirely sure whether I have found the solution or just a workaround. For now, WiFi needs 1-2 seconds to turn on when I bring the device out of Sleep mode. I have to say I don't remember such a behaviour before so I'm not sure what I have actually accomplished. Furthermore, I think the battery drain is still too big when I just browse the menu and the settings (with WiFi on). Something seems to operate in the shadows or whatever else...
Please help! Thanks a million!
So it turns out there was some error, which occured when I unlocked the bootloader of the phone. It was preventing WiFi from sleep and therefore draining the battery. I went to a friend to perform S-Off for me. Then he installed the Stock 2.3.3 ROM + Hboot 0.90.0000 + the respective radio (7.46.something) on the top (he had this ROM version in his computer). So now my phone is OK. The bootloader info states the phone is S-Off; the "***Unlocked***" signature is gone.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is it safe to perform an OTA Update to 2.3.5 when S-Off? An update invitation has already appeared in the notification bar.
2. I intend to try m1ndh4x8r's ROM out. Do I need to flash the 2.3.5 official ROM before that at all?

[Q] HELP! DHD Keeps rebooting.

Hi, So i bought this Desire HD second hand about two weeks ago and it was already with Android Revolution version 6.1.0 by mike1986. As soon as i got it the flashlight app sometimes shuts off the phone when i open it, now two days ago i was on the internet(mobile network not wifi) and the phone rebooted and from then on it kept rebooting until i removed the simcard then it powered on ok without sim. Now whenever i plug in the sim it keeps rebooting the only way to power it on with the sim inserted is to connect the charger and power it on while charging then its ok. Please help me if you can as i desperately need the phone.
Now its also shutting off when im playing a game, sometimes when using the camera, even when i was using qrcode scanner.
My phone was also rebooting randomly. I send my device back to HTC and they changed motherboard and a lot of another things
It was in warranty, so i had it for free
How about if you superwipe, then reinstall the ROM?
You can get 6.3.2 (& superwipe) for the ARHD ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040. This is the stock HTC ROM, tuned by mike1986.
There is also the version 7.0.4, which is in fact a Gingerbread port from the Sensation. Given your problems, probably best to start with 6.3.2
If that doesn't help, it's not a software thing, so it must be hardware. The phone should be under warranty, so you could return it to the ex-factory state by flashing the standard ROM for your territory, and then take it to the service centre. There are several threads on this here.
Also SD card is known to cause this issue, try booting without SD card.
Yep, super wipe or full wipe is the best idea. Try the full wipe first and then root the phone again. Check the ROM section for the latest ROM updates, sometimes these things go wrong and it simply requires a full wipe and flashing the ROM again.
Hi Thanks for trying to help guys
So far i did clean wipe with superwipe, flashed radio,flashed Revolution rom 6.3.3,flashed the kernel and the problem is still there.
The only thing that is going over in my mind is why does it hold on for a little bit while its connected to charger if the phone is idle, but then sometimes when i open flashlight or camera or play a game its reboots again.
Try flashing an appropriate RUU, if the problem persists then you know it's hardware and it is still under warranty so return it to HTC for a fix.
