For some reason, my phone will not run a kernel with HAVS on it. Some kernels boot loop at the evo 4g screen. Others load up, only to experience random reboots every few seconds. I've tried wiping everything several times, flashing rom and kernel at the same time, flashing rom then kernel after reboot, etc. Also, this happens with or without SetCPU. I've searched the forums, and have also asked on one of the kernel forums, only to get the answer "some phones just don't get along with HAVS." Any other ideas?? Anything I can try?? Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. I pretty much haven't been able to get a kernel to work correctly after CM6 RC2. I've tried many different versions of the snap kernel. Pretty much none of them work. I have gotten away with a few custom kernels working, but normally I will get at least 1 random reboot per day with them. And they're from August. I don't know what it is, stock kernels run fine; however, I haven't been able to get CM6 to even boot for me after RC1.
I don't seem to be having any kernel panic. k_lastmsg isn't even there after these Cm6 boot loops.
I really hate sense, so I have been running Emerald mod 1.1.1. It's the closest thing to CM6 right now. It works because it's using a kernel that can't OC, and only has 2 touch points.
I have a few k_lastmsg files, that explain the random reboot. These are from snap kernels. I can't get any useful information out of them.
It's possible the minimum possible undervolt with the HAVS kernel is set too low for your particular phone; some phones can be really picky with how far they can go.
Do you live in the south? Are your normal room temperatures above 85F?
Are your evos getting too hot?
No. Temperatures here have been around 60. I don't think it's over heating. I was able to boot a HAVS975 kernel. The kernels that have higher voltages seem to boot, but are not stable. However, anything under 900mv cause boot loops. This was on the latest CM6 nightly. It booted, but 3 minutes after I got a random reboot.
I just flashed 8 kernels over CM6.0 final. The only one that actually works for more than 5 minutes is SnapV2. I can get 5 of them to boot. The rest loop. 7/8 result in a random reboot after about a minute or so. I can post some logcat logs. If anyone can help me decypher the actual problem, it would be great.
My phone is rooted and has s-off but I have a few issues. One is almost half the time when I hit the power button the screen doesn't turn on instantly but the soft buttons light up. It usually takes me hitting it 2-3 times swiftly to get my screen on. Another issue is sometimes wifi calling gets screwed up so it doesn't work and it drains my battery as a background task stuck on restarting. I really only want my phone overclocked so just have baconbits kernel. is there a newer version I should put on that fixes these issues?

Baconbits, to my knowledge, is the only OCd kernel available for the stock ROM. Your screen issue might actually be caused by underclocking though, do you have a screen off profile or a minimum set?

I just have it set to 368-1497. Should I up the minimum?

Give the overclock widget a try. Its available free on the market. In the advanced setting, set your screen off profile to 245 min and 806 max. Scroll down and hit "save" before you exit settings. That will keep your phone running at stock speeds while the screen is off and should stop the wake issue you're having. When you're using the phone you'll be at the higher speeds.
I already had the widget. Did what you said but it still occurs.

245 is *way* too low, especially if you have things running in the background ... just start raising the lower end up until it stops happening.

Setting it to stay at 800 while the screen is off seemed to fix it. Any ideas about wifi calling bugging out? It usually doesn't happen very often, I think when my phone has been on for a while without a restart.
overclock widget doesn't overclock anything.... it controls the speeds AFTER you've installed an overclock kernel. I highly suggest using flippys turbocharged 1.8ghz kernel. Just because it is capable of 1.8ghz doesn't mean that you need to run it at 1.8ghz. you can just do something like 1.1 or something in between. Give it a look.

Nobody said the OC widget overclocked anything. Did you read the OP's first post? It was suggested so as to enable a screen off profile because the OP is having a wake issue while using baconbits.

set the off screen profile to the lowest speed 200/200mhz and 100% priority and he wont have anymore wake issues, don't know what I was reading hahaha
The screen on issue doesn't happen anymore but I'm not satisfied with my battery life. In the past something was causing my battery to drain insanely fast so I un installed a bunch of unused apps and started checking background tasks but when browsing the internet for 20 minutes on my way home I use 30% of the battery, bluetooth on.

Anyone know if it is possible to run Pershoot's kernel on the stock rom that comes with the device? Any side effects?
I don't know enough to say 100% one way or the other, but I read in a post I can't find right now that only BaconBits is made to work with the stock rom.
FWIW, I tried to flash the 1.8 GHz kernal on my stock G2 this morning, and got stuck in a boot loop.
On AndroidCentral people are saying they have improved battery life with CM7 nightlies. I'd like to try running a ROM finally. Do I need to get rid of my Baconbits kernel before proceeding? I already backed up everything with Titanium.

NO. The first thing you need to do is flash clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, which is totally different than ROM Manager. As of right now the latest clockworkmod available through ROM Manager is 2.5.1.3. If you haven't flashed that yet (2.5.1.3) do that first through ROM Manager. The best way to flash 3.0.0.5 is to find the .img file, place it on your sd card and run the commands from terminal emulator. After that just wipe data/factory reset, wipe davlik cache and flash the latest nightly .zip, reboot, then the latest gapps .zip. Go to the development forum and the first post in the nightly vendor vision thread has all the links you'll need.
Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem with CM7 and LauncherPro.
After rebooting, LauncherPro will hang for about 5-10 minutes before Android will force close it, or if I long-press the back key to manually force close it. It's only slightly annoying, since it functions properly afterwards, it would just be nice if there is a workaround or fix available so that I wouldn't have to do that after my daily reboot.
Sometimes it just happens, you may want to check you minimum frequency of your governor.
Min: 245
Max: 998
Governor: Conservative
You can try smartass...and what kernel are you using?
Yeah I am having the same problem. LP always forcecloses when I restart on RC4. Its not to annoying though.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Been happening to me since at least RC2, using stock kernel, minimum frequency of 384.
I'm pinging the devs to see if they know anything about it...

Latest SavagedZen.
Conservative gives me the best battery life without sacrificing performance. From what I've read about smartass, I wouldn't like it.
Try setting memory usage to "high" in LP settings.
Menu>Preferences>Advanced Settings>Memory Usage Settings>Memory Usage preset>Select High.
Word from on high: We need some logcats. When I get home from work, I'm going to be flashing N35, no GApps, install LP, reboot, and then grab the log.
Hopefully that'll light some fires under people's arses. ;D
I have this issue as well.
Just chiming in that I too have this issue, also from about RC2.
Have used stock and Tiamat kernels, both exhibit the same behavior descibed in the OP.
I flashed Tiamat but the problem still exists, so I'm going to say it's either LP or CM7. Testing out the memory boost for LP now.
I have had this same problem with both my old Hero and now the Evo. LP Pro always hangs 1-2 min at bootup. Alternating between conservative, ondemand, smartass does nothing. I used CM6 on Hero, CM7 & Destroyer on the Evo.
Does not hang when I use SprintLovers.

Yeah didn't hang when I had Sprint Lovers or Myn's Warm. Def points toward CM7 for me.

Done think its cm7 either. I've had the issue on a few nightlies but set min CPU to 384 and fix permissions in rom manager and its gone away. Wifeys never complained about it on hers and she complains about everything

I'll try that out. The thing is, shouldn't the phone be running at full blast on boot? What would the min freq have to do with that?

If you have the "set on boot" option checked, then its running at whatever is set.
I unchecked "set on boot" and moved the min freq up to 384, no dice still hangs.
Well you'd have to re-check it after its reset. Are you using a custom kernel?

Ive used both SavagedZen and Tiamat. Using Tiamat at the moment.
I have an HTC EVO 4G Hardware Ver: 0003. It's running off standard Koni's Elite III. I like the look, and it offers full features. I live in area with 4G so no CM for me. But anyway, I noticed even with perflock disabled, it will not overclock beyond 998MHz. I tried to install Netarchy-Toastmod 4.3.1 kernel to it for overclocking. I tried cfs and bfs, tried no HAVS, with HAVS. Then I tried the beta, using literally each and every possible one. Every single time, it boots perfect, runs for a minute or two, then it locks up, and reboots. This happens immediately if I try to overclock it beyond 998MHz, however even at normal 998MHz, it never stays on longer than 5 minutes before rebooting. I made a Nandroid backup beforehand, had to restore it. So its back to normal, stable, but again, I want to overclock it. Is Elite III not capable???

It's not going to be the ROM (well it most likely isn't but you can check and see). If you can run stable on the stock HTC kernel, but not with a custom kernel, then you might just have very sensitive hardware that can't handle changes made.
I have two Evos in the house, one can clock all the way to the max, the other caps out one step past 998. No kernel will fix this. The one that doesn't overclock well also doesn't handle low voltages very well (reboots). The other one works just fine.
If you want to try something else, look out for Ziggy471 on google. He has some EVO kernels you could try also. He isn't GPL compliant (he doesnt release source code) so you won't find him on XDA (dunno if he ever was).
I know I really didn't offer much help, but it could just be the luck of the draw that your phone is really really sensitive. Try another ROM first and see. I know you have tried various kernels, but try a few more. Try AOSP ROMs with newer kernel versions (.37 or .38). Good luck
Also, CM7 supports 4G just fine.
I've had this E4gt for a few days now. First thing I did was root it with the FI27 Odin one click method, then install Agats source 6.5 kernel. Had some random reboots that I shrugged off as my phone not liking any undervolting. But it still does it, even under _dan's lightweight v0.2 rom
It isn't completely random though. Most of the reboots are when I'm trying to wake up the phone after letting it sit idle. Other times it'll reboot while it's sleeping idle. it has NEVER rebooted during use (I ran pandora/poweramp for 8 hours no problem)
It also occurs under most governor settings.
It almost seems that for whatever reason, idling at 200mv is causing the phone to crash and reboot.
the only overclock utility I use is System Tuner Pro, however I don't know if this could be the cause.
Only other option I can see is unroot/flash stock FI27 and see what happens, but I really don't want to go through the hassle, especially having to get another effing phone (since assurion can't be bothered to ever send a proper working phone)
bit of info on my phone I guess
Rooted it from bone stock factory FI27 using Odin FI27 One click rooting (success on first try)
Agats source 6.5 kernel
_dan's Lightweight v0.2 rom
Ktoonservative kernel (however it seems every kernel does this)
Scheduler set to noop
no oc/uv settings currently
I use System Tuner Pro to adjust clocks/governor settings, etc however, I haven't done many tweaks besides my OOM settings.
Stock rooted with Agat's source 6.5 was causing reboots as well, under the same conditions (deep sleep reboots, and waking from deep sleep)

Is the phone new or did you acquire it used? I had random reboot issues...tried numerous software fixes (new ROM, new kernel, uninstalling apps). Finally found the problem...a faulty power button. The solution for me was to replace the phone under warranty.
Its an assurion refer. According to the phones lifetime stats however it wasnt used for more than a week or so in august.
Also its not the power button. I watched it lock up and reboot earlier today
I'm almost thinking I should call asurion and tell them they sent me another effed uup phone and demand a nib phone. But that means unrooting this one and I'm not sure how big of a pain that will be

Ktoon... gov gave me some odd results too, try pegasusq and don't under volt until you have established a stable setup.
Honestly though try a different rom, FI27 seemed buggy to me but FI03 was alright. If you want to try Jellybean then give Codename a try. Its been rock solid.

Interesting that you would mention ktoonservitive!
My setup has been always dead stable. But....
I've had a few random reboots when on calls lately and have been running that (ktoon..) for a little while now.
I'll have to switch that out and see what happens.
Well im currebtly running the latest version of recaulk so ill report back with my results if i gwt any reboots.

After running Re-Caulk all night, I've come to the conclusion that FI27 was the culprit.
Ktoon probably wasn't helping, as I was running it quite often.
I'm using whatever kernel comes with re-caulk, min at 100mhz, max at 1400mhz, -25mv. Battery life is better than before (though, with my 3800mah battery, its already insane)
buttery smooth goodness too
Bit of an update since I made this thread.
Running smartbench 2011 I was getting abysmall productivity scores, and it seemed overall my scores were AWFUL no matter what in any benchmark (overclocking to 1.5 would barely get the almost to baseline numbers)
I called asurion and told them I was having reboot issues with the phone etc, they sent me another refurb today.
Scores are exactly as they should be now. Productivity scores in smartbench 2011 went from 2500-2800 to 4000+
I think the CPU on my first e4gt had a problem with the processor, which is why deep sleeping was crashing it.
I do realize benchmark scores mean nothing in terms of real world performance, but when there's a known baseline number for a particular phone, and your phone is struggling to even get close to that baseline (even with a maximum overclock) there is clearly something wrong with it.
