Well ive been having serious issues with my evo, i swore it was the kernels i been using, but now its constant, ive restored a nandroid, flashed different roms and kernels, and same thing happens, phone boots, but as soon as it gets to home screen it reboots, ive done it all, wiped data, reflashed, u name it, it has to be something physically wrong with the phone.
what should i do from here?
should i flash the newest stock rooted 3.30 OR should i just use the stock unrooted one for when i go into the store?
there was a thread started about this. a lot of people are experiencing it, i would imagine its software related.

I was having the same issues. I unrooted and took it in to Sprint. They gave me their only refurb on hand as a replacement.
It was a pretty easy process of proving that it would happen any time.

Pretty common problem. Do what the last poster did.
Same thing just started happening to me. I thought it was the 2.3.4 nightlies, but maybe not... Has anyone came up with a different solution? FYI, I found when I can't get it it boot, putting it in the freezer for a while works. Seriously.

My girlfriend's HW003 Nova EVO is in a state of random reboot. I have run out of ideas.
It is not OS dependent, meaning I have gone through 3 different ROMS including stock rooted.
There are 6 log files below. They are logcat files right before the phone kills the connection.
Knowing that the ROM is not the cause, I am down to Radio, WIMAX, GPS, WIFI, or CPU/MoBo.
I executed the gpsclrx command and it had no effect on the random reboots.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Have you exchanged your phone at a Sprint location? What have you done?

I have some random reboots as well, thought it was related to temp but after a while that seems to not be the case. Happens on every ROM and seems to happen 9/10 times when browsing. Stock Browser / Dolphin HD. Reason I thought it was a temp thing was I started noticing a light spot on the screen, evidently above the processor, and so I figured something had to be happening with it all.
Have been meaning to start calling around about it and see if it's something Sprint can replace or not. Am more than prepared to pay the deductible, but I haven't really made steps to get to the bottom of it.
It's strange because when I think I realize what is doing it, it ends up not really seeming to be the case. It all started happening when I had a bad wipe / flash (clockwork) and it started happening then. Lost my RSA Certs (not a huge thing, obviously something I'll need to address at some point but currently using CM6 so I'm not really "missing it." But that's when it all started happening. So I guess in that regard, the WiMax shouldn't necessarily be an issue ... or so I would think. Happens when on WiFi and off, happens whether GPS has even been turned on at any point or not so I figured it had to be some CPU issue but not necessarily due to heat.
Know this probably doesn't help, but I thought I'd post.
have you tried seeing if it reboots with out apps installed? not sure if she uses setcpu or other similar type apps that could cause issues. I used to get random reboots too especially when i would run certain apps while i was over clocked.
and this may be a stupid question if so sorry but you are wiping between roms and you are NOT restoring system settings from a back up after you do correct?
Exchange the phone?

Right, naturally that'd be the next step.
Have tried nearly all ROMs without app restoring or even downloading, including not restoring system data.

If you have setcpu installed, I need you to go to the info tab, scroll down and tell me what value is next to memtotal. It should be 425000.
Let me know what yours is.

The reason why I was asking you to check the info tab for the memtotal value, is because on my phone, currently I am not having a problem and the value is 425000kB , but on my girlfriend's phone, it registers only 424840kB.
Sent from my HTC EVO via XDA App
Alright, will look for the one on these boards.
Hate to even go here, but I really never used a logcat before; but my phone just rebooted and I went immediately into the logcat and just like when I launched it at first there is just a wealth of information. I see it says ;
D/alogcat ( 521): stopping ...
D/alogcat ( 521): resumed
Might sound dumb, but am I to assume that's the point the log stopped and began again, due to the reboot? Would think it is .... on to that setcpu I guess.
edit: seeing that stopping and resuming in multiple spaces, guess that's not it. =/
setCPU - memtotal; 424828 kB

I think this may be a HARDWARE issue...
Hello xda folks,
Long time reader, first time posting...
I'll try and condense this down, everytime I try to post something xda says I'm not logged in, so I'm keeping it short out of re-writing frustration.
I'm HW003, I lack setcpu, so I can't really check my memtotal, but I believe that in short the flash mem/nand memory may be getting damaged or corrupted by flashaholics like myself. I'm curious to see in any non-root users have experienced the completely random reboots like some of us here.
Let me be clear about one thing, I'm describing random rebooting, not consistent bootloops, at least they weren't at first.
Initially, I thought this problem was a byproduct of OC'ing, or overheating the unit, but I have flashed every combination of rom, kernel, OC/stock, hboot ver, etc, virtually anything I have some control over, and the phone still reboots. Ive even rolled back to stock unrooted, and tried bone stock 2.2 but the phone keeps throwing a fit.
Everything on this phone hardware wise screams "I was manufactured on the cheap, and put out to stores on the quick", so it stands to reason there is some kind of failure taking place.
I'm no expert, but I've flashed this thing A LOT. Probably around 100 times.
It also seems to be getting worse, as it often sticks in bootloops now, not just random reboots. Causing me to have to flash it on an even more arbitrary basis!
Next step for me, is rolling back to stock 2.2{Again}, and sending this bad boy back to where it came from, and wait for my POS replacement and its new set of shenanigans. I will root the new one once, pick one rom, and flash it once...
It will be difficult, but I will be attending Flashaholics Anonymous.
We can do this together.
Anyone have a more logical answer?
Anyone else experiencing a reboot issue and overheat with the newest OTA and 1.77 pri, or am i the only one?

I do have a rebooting issue. My phone will just randomly reboots and gets stuck in a rebooting cycle where it keeps rebooting when its at the boot screen or as soon as it boots upand I just have to pull the battery to fix it. It's not related to the new OTA or PRI for me. I've had this problem before and after root, tried different rom's, radio's, pri's etc., replaced my sdcard. I've tried many different things and can't figure it out. I've read on other forums that others are having the same problem and both Sprint and HTC know that many are having problems. Supposedly HTC is working on a fix, but can't determine what the cause is yet. The only thing I can think of is it's related to a heat issue, but have no idea.

Might be a hardware issue
No issues here either, i'm rooted with Fresh ROM. Sucks to hear though!
I've had them both happen intially on the 1st day but its fine now. Not sure why it did.
It overheated to 50c+. Still even at the norm, its 4c higher than the 3.26 roms which averaged at 37c, This ROM varies from 40c-42c.
Only using Celsius because I look at the (deactivated) Wifi Tether's temp gauge.
Sprint sent me out another EVO and battery.. Said it might be an issue with hardware rev 003 but hell if i know...
i had this happen twice yesterday, only when i was forcing roam though.
When my phone's temperature hits 46 Celcius it will reboot. Got to let it cool down before it work stay on. This is just surfing the internet on warm/hot summer days. Very disappointed, I am.
ive had my phone since august, rooted nand the whole works a week after i got it. everything was fine until about a week ago, now the phone randomly restarts, 3-5x a day and sometimes will get stuck in a bootloop. this always most definitely happens when im playing games, for more than 10 minutes if that. also when im trying to flash a enw rom, when it tries to boot up and get to the setup page it will restart almost as if its over working on starting up and then burning out. its sometimes warm to the touch, if i put my phone in the refrigerator for 10 min. i can get through flashing a rom, any ideas?
bump please help

I'd update everything you can, and try a different kernel :\. I think your phone may just be VERY picky with kernels. A friend of mine has a phone that ONLY likes one of the older HTC kernels. Anything else gives him reboots constantly. Hope that helps

my phone does that too on almost all kernels. so does that mean my phone is bad? should i get it replaced?

I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else..
However, this seems to be an ongoing issue with me and Android.
I've had the X10a and Nexus One .. both after only rooting it and using a different rom. While making phone calls and charging.. my phone would reboot..
Or playing a game on the phone.. it would reboot. I basically couldn't do anything without the phone rebooting. Which was sad.
Now with the Galaxy S2X.. This very same issue just happened to me moments ago.
Should I have never rooted it or changed the rom in the first place?
It was running very well before I decided to do so.. even while charging and talking on the phone.
Its funny because it just happened while charging.... I'm not even on the phone myself.
Does anyone seem to have any problem with this when using custom ROMs?
Because if this is true.. then I guess I'll flash the stock kernel and stuff back on the phone just to HOPE it doesn't occur then. :/
I've only experienced this after trying different roms and kernels. I flashed the stock kernel and the deodex rooted stock rom back at the same time and have had no such things happen again.
Imo, stock always runs better than any other rom. I always get better battery too.
My sensation was/is the same way, reboots, dropped signals and all until I put it back to stock rooted. Now it's fine.

Deebo took your bike too?
Yes I have had it more often on this phone though but it has been fixed by wiping the proper things first then flashing. If not then you might need to redownload the file.
If that doesnt work then you need to make sure that the kernel you are using is compatible with the rom
Also make sure that you are using the proper cpu software for the kernel.. Setcpu seems to work good for most but on Juggernauts new kernel they highly recommend Fauxclock .
I've run roms and kernels since we got root. Never had a random reboot or any other problem for that matter.

The only thing I'm worried about is if I continue to wipe and reinstall these customs ROM's that this issue could worsen, but you said that Fauxclock was highly recommended for Jug's Rom? I should try that out myself.
I've always done exactly what was written on the Instructions themselves.
But as for now. . I did a full wipe.. including my SD and the USB data and did a practice call for roughly an hour with me playing games and surfing. So far, there has been any problems. I hope this is perm!
I'd hate to waste another $500 phone D:
As far as the problem kernel with rom etc..
I am running Jug's rom straight. No different kernel's nothing.
I just had it happen to me last night. First time on this phone it has happened. It its stock, rooted. Happened while I was paying music in the car. My other phones with custom roms used to do it all the time.
I wonder if this has happened to anyone without ANY mods on their phone? =X

Reviving old thread... I have a completely stock S2X running 4.0.3 and it randomly reboots or shuts itself off.
I'm trying to figure out if it's a wayward app or a hardware problem. Thinking of rooting and removing the bloatware.
I also saw that it could be a faulty power button, but it also happens by itself, sitting on a desk.

It is only guaranteed to act like a phone until you start messing around with roms, *especially* when you are have the CDMA version...

I would try what sbrownla suggested. Do a complete Factory reset and see if the problem occurs, because if it still does it may be an actual phone issue.

This is pretty much the answer. Put it back to stock, if it still does it, the hardware has an issue and you need to have it replaced.

well returned it to bone stock and the issue seems to have gone away. What is weird is that this just started happening. I have no idea why, been running great for months.

So even with Stock the problem has resurfaced.

She was outright badmouthing this handset. She was willing to exchange it for me to ANY other handset free of charge.
