Alright, so since I rooted my phone about a week after the EVO came out I hadn't really had any problems.
Just today, I decided to go into recovery and see if the "fix uid mismatches" does anything, and it did. Though nothing good, now when my phone is on, I get the androud.process.acore or whatever unexpectedly closing. I press force close, and it just pops back up. So mad rad now.
I guess this wasn't really a question, and sorry for that, not trying to be a forum noob. This happen to anyone else though?
Restoring an old nand backup I made after installing Fresh 3.2 right now.
Fc's acore are like dingleberrys...you gotta wipe.
My phone had no problems up until I just did that uid mismatch fix. Why would that mess everything up? It's got the word FIX in it, ahhh!!
Now I have to wait for the nand restore to boot up, it's taking foreeevvverrrr.
I had that two days ago.. happened out of nowhere when I took battery out with it on and put a newly charge one in. Had to wipe and restore.

Tried to restore without wiping, just got me stuck on white boot screen. So I wiped and restored, phone works now. But when I try to "Update All" apps in the Market, I get a process.vending error of some sort. But it works now, so I'll work with it.

Having a problem here. Today I got a refurbished dinc, and tried to root w/ unrev. 3.2 and it went all the way through the process up to the point where it says waiting on reboot (could take 5 mins.) After that U.R said it lost its connection with the phone and rebooted. since then its been stuck in boot loops. S-off was never achieved and clockwork wasn't installed. I've tried resets and a 2.2 pb13img and nothing can stop the loops. Once in a while of random resets and fumbling around in the stock recovery it will boot to the phone program screen to call *228. It reboots and loops right after it goes to mount storage. I've tried taking out the card thinking it might be that.
It's a amoled screen.
I've rooted before and have no issues on my other dinc.
Plz help.

What is your HBOOT version?
Hboot 0.92
Radio 2.15.00.07.28
Clockwork 2.5.1.2
Un.Rev. 3
Un.Rev. Forever
Incredibly re-engineered 2.2
Update -
Managed to get Un.Rev. to install with cw. And installed a Rom. Now I still get random reboots. Everything will be fine...ill update and install a bunch of apps. and I can use the phone for a while. Then all of a sudden it reboots over and over. To get it to stop, I have to re-do everything. Wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats, data/factory reset. I get an error after dalvik clear though "can't mount /dev/block/mmeblk12 (file exists)"
That puts me to square one.
Everything will be ok and then.....reboots...randomly at different points. sometimes right away and some times after an hour or two. No real pattern. I have a gut feeling it has to do with onboard memory?
Are you overclocking? What kernel are you using?
Try installing a different kernel, make sure it is a sense based kernel as you are using a sense based rom.
You can pick one from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866736
No I'm not over clocking. And I'm using the kernel that came with the Rom.
I do, however, seem to remember reading something about dincs overheating and rebooting until they cool. Maybe this is the case with mine.
I had the exact same issue when i received my refurbished phone. It is not uncommon that these issues - and others, will occur. Even before rooting i was having the issue.
I did notice that it will happen when i pushed the phone a bit, like talking and trying to download something from the market at the same time.
My suggestion is to unroot, everything stock, test the phone and see if it happens again. The Verizon representative tried to reset the phone and it started boot looping right in front him! And then they order another refurbished phone, which also had issues. Long story short, they gave me a new phone after i begged. (thank u VZ local store, which btw i sent a few customers your way )
According to some inside people i talked to, the 3rd party companies (or individuals) that fix these phones do a terrible job at it and the Verizon stores see quite a few people everyday with similar issues. I have no way of verifying this, just what i was told.

I would still try another kernel first, HeyItsLou or Ziggy IMO. If you still have the problems then, flash back to complete stock and take it to Verizon.
Yea, ill give that a try. If I have no luck, ill send it back. After unrooting of course.

Riley, were you able to fix it? I'm really interested in some analysis of the problem and investigating issues with refurbished phones boot looping. Someone else just posted a similar problem.
Nah. No luck here. Still randomly looping. Nothing seems to have an effect in when it why it loops. It'll loop even w/o any apps installed.Even after a "fresh" install of a rom and system wipe.
Gonna send it back.

Sorry to hear that, as i said i had the same issue and i had to get another one. if you get a second "lemon" refurb go to Verizon and talk to a manager. They might do an out of the box replacement and put it in the system as defective under warranty. Good luck.
recently, my phone has just started a habit of randomly rebooting. i was using myn rls5 with net kernel 4.3.2, but i decided to try something different in an attempt to stop the problem, so i went to mikfroyo with its default kernel. right after i startthe phone and it gets to the homescreen, it starts restarting again. i cleared data and cache between roms, and im using clockworkmod 3.0.0.5
You should always perform a full wipe, to include factory/data, when flashing a new rom.

Also, the dalvik, under advanced? And not flashing a kernel with it?
I found out that Clockwork never cleared Dalvik for me. I changed to AR and after clearing the dalvik I stopped getting reboots or bootloops. Maybe your phone doesn't like the new Clockwork...

that could be it. everytime i install RA though, it complains and doesnt boot into recovery correctly
oohhh. that sucks. try unrooting or using a stock rom for a while. if it keeps rebooting when you browse the web, play games, anything that works the phone, then there is nothing you can do. the phone is fried. wait until it is bad enough that you can do it whenever you want by firing up a game and playing for a few minutes. then bring to the sprint store and they will replace. hah why do i have to be the person who brings the bad news?
again, try unrooting first. you can even leave s-off to re root easily. if you have no reboots, then the problem can be fixed.
i feel so bad giving this news... hah
My phone recently started doing this. Doesn't matter what ROM I'm on, doesn't matter if I un-root with a factory RUU or re-root, doesn't matter what recovery I use, doesn't matter if I completely format my SD card or boot without one. It got to the point I had to take it to Sprint and have them order me a new one.
It would randomly reboot and then go into a bootloop that not even a factory reset would cure, just decides when to stop bootlooping on its own and occasionally works.

If you're using ROM Manager, don't! Download the PC36IMG.zip file from amon's thread and place it on the root of your SD card. Shutdown your device. While pressing the down arrow key, press the power button. You will then enter the bootloader screen. After a few seconds, a few lines of text will appear and the bootloader will automatically detect the. PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install. The installation will take less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery. The recovery version will be listed at the bottom of the screen. Go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself then go to the flash menu and flash whatever rom you wish to flash.

Were you one of the unlucky ones who were using CM7 when the bootlooping began?

No, I had already moved away from CM7 when it began. It started out of nowhere and just got worse on a daily basis.
I had also never used Unrevoked. I rooted with toast's original root method way back last August or so and was using the .76 ENG bootloader.
I had similar issues, in terms of both posts, and it got to the point that I just got it replaced from Sprint. It just progressively got worse no matter what was done. Has happened to others ... sounds like the phone might just be going.

Yep, stock. Only apps installed are GoSMS and XDA. I guess I'll give it a factory reset and see if that fixes it, or else it's going back.

i just hate unrooting, the whole process will end up taking a few hours. im probably gonna unroot, and if the basics work, i'll just stick with some simple z4 root and call it a day. any other options? cause htis is already my second phone, not exactly crazy about getting a third.

Unrooting take like 5 minutes...flash s-on tool, then the 5 minutes to run the ruu, then another 5 minutes to re-root.

My phone never has random reboots. Never. And I have a list of roms as long as my arm that I have flashed.

There are a bunch of bad EVOs floating around. If you have this problem, you're more likely to get one of these as a refurb as they are the ones they get back. They'll replace the display, etc. But its the mobo that is probably the issue, and they don't replace that. They probably just make sure that it boots up and can make a call..

yesterday a dialog popped up on my phone to update my phone. I clicked on postpone, thinking it would simply just ask me later. I am running RMK's ROM, and now every time I turn on my phone it turns off and tries to update, but fails. How do I stop my phone from doing this? I don't want the update.
Try either doing a data wipe or flashing another ROM then going back if you want to stay on RMK.
I have also heard wiping the cache from recovery works too.
I'm running RMK's Rom and just caught the update notice just now. PITA it limited deferment to 5 days. Earlier today I didn't catch it in time and had to batt pull after it hung. When I went to recover from a recent nandroid backup it hung trying to boot into CWM. I did get into recovery on the second attempt. Just be sure you have a current nandroid of your stuff.
Shouldv'e dug a little more before posting.

Epic 4g running bonsai 4.0.1, rooted with CWM3.005 and flashed to cricket 3 months ago. I've been using titanium , superuser, pandora, all programs worked great. I even got most of the sprint crap off my screen.
Last week I was powering down to change batteries but I popped the battery out before the final buzz signaling full shutdown. upon reboot, phone had lost my home setting, icon placement, etc, and had sprint crap back on it. i reloaded the bonsai zip, but I cant restore using titanium because it won't let me access titanium, or pandora, and most of the games and apps I've installed. Also the launcher crashes a lot now...
Do I have to wipe the phone and start over? anyone have a suggestion? thx for reading...

Yeah, I feel like a tard..
...whats odd is I still have bonsai, and i can still access CWM in recovery mode, so...i'm still rooted, and yet, it won't ACT like its rooted, denies me access to post-root programs. So odin from scratch? (hope this is a lesson for all us impatient noobs....WAIT FOR FINAL LIGHTS OUT! LOL)
Did you try wiping Cache and Dalvik 3x first? If so, sounds like an Odin fix. I would start fresh. One thing I have learned from testing things that aren't released yet is that Odin is actually pretty painless if your phone is recognized by PC. Its 3 min 35 seconds to get back to stock, 2 min for Root. The longest part is the RFS to EXT4 file conversion but its not bad at all and at least you will have a totally clean install.

haven't tried the cache/dalvek wipe yet...doing now...
I want to be sure to mention that prior to this incident phoenix was working flawlessly and I was loving it. Ok, so I put the Phoenix rom on my phone last week after a 3x3 wipe. I then changed some preferences and settings and synced contacts and then I saved a back up.
Today, I took the battery out of my phone to recharge it and I think that I didnt shut the phone down before I took the battery out so I am not sure if this is what caused the problem. So after I did that and rebooted, the phone function stopped working as I get the message "the application phone has stopped unexpectedly." I am also getting the same message when I click on the email as well.
So after this problem arised, I proceeded to go to cwm and wiped my phone 3x3 and then restored it to the state that I previously did a back up on when it was working good. However, after I did the restore I am still getting the same messages when i perform the email and phone functions.
I thought that the restore would have solved this problem. Why didnt it? How do i solve this problem and could taking the battery out without powering down the phone first cause this?
Ok, hopefully you had a nandroid made. If you did, wipe everything 3x, fresh install Phoenix, reboot, log in, power down, reboot recovery, wipe 3x and restore nandroid. Fresh installing a ROM gets rid of those errors that restoring a nandroid doesnt

Nope, not bricked. There are stages of fixes to try. First, boot to recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik 3x and reboot. If that doesn't work you will have to wipe everything and reflash the ROM. You will lose your setup unfortunately. That's why its crucial to make a nandroid when you have your setup all dialed in. To make a nandroid just boot to recovery, scroll to "Backup and restore" and select "Backup"

well,i made a back up in recovery (cwm) if that is what you meant. I already tried to 3x wipe everything that then restore the back up that i made at the time that I first flashed the phoenix rom. And when it booted i was getting the same fc messages.
I guess, i will try and follow the step by step you mentioned above and try and use my back up one last time. I am corrrect right?....you are talking about the back up that i use in cwm3.1 right?
My apologies for the misunderstanding on the def of nandroid. I thought that that was a "special" kind of back up you were referring to. Anyway, I did everything you said in terms of installing the fresh rom first and WALA-WORX! I will give ya a thanx. YOU DA MAN!
