Recently im getting a lot of random reboots of my phone
I was running the Leedroid 2.2b rom which was fine for ages. I then try installing the 2 latest versions and noticed it would reboot the phone randomly after that.
When i upgrade to a newer ROM , i always wipe first.
I then went back to 2.2b and have noticed that it is rebooting a lot also
could it be a problem with my SD card because I always run the A2SD+ ROMS as i like to have my apps on the Ext 3 partition
Ive tried doing a full format using windows , then did a Partition SD Card in ROM Manager
but it still reboots randomly.
Dunno what to do next

Hi,
I've got problem to launch Modaco ROM 2.8. Previously i had 2.7 and I wanted to check out Motion Blur ROM. I have done nandroid backup and flashed new rom. Because i couldn't login to Motoblur account (It's needed to use this ROM) I decided to restore previous ROM. I think by mistake i pressed nandroid buckup again and i lost my Backup. I managed to copy 2.8 ROM to my SD but when i removed safety USB storage I noticed SD card icon with information that my Card is possible damaged. Since then i had problems to us SD. Windows wanted to format my card every time I tried access. I checked what it like in Partition manager. It showed me only one partition Fat 32 1.8GB (should be 1.5GB Fat32 and Ext3 + swap partitions) So I format it again and created new linux partitions. Windows could read SD but Mobile still showed Damaged Card. So I restarted Mobile and now i can't do anything. It's going to Hero Logo (waves robots) and then going to HTC Logo and then goes back to Hero Logo. Is it just because my SD is broken and buying new SD will solve the problem ? or did I break my mobile permanently ?
Thanks
Sorry for my poor English
///edit I just removed SD and it's working . Need to buy new SD
i've experienced a very similar problem where it reported my sdcard to be damaged and worse my phone won't even boot.
what i did was to remove the sdcard and it booted fine ( i had mcr 2.5 working), then noticed sdcard reported no issue. then simply rebooted to recovery, wiped, and applied mcr2.8 zip file.

Had a similar problem didnt have booting problems though, solved the problem in exactly the same way as kroosh. The problem stems from the swapper app which did come as part of the rom but is now only optional.
I had swapper too & guess you are right.
Unfortunately the 2.8 is getting sluggish and not sure if it was the swapper as well. I will try to restore 2.5 and see how it behaves
My card wasn't recognized because it was formatted in wrong format. I managed to install new recovery image v1.2.3 and i have created partition from there and its working fine now.
Hi
I had the same problem with my hero, if you disconnect the usb wrong ect. And the "damaged SD" error appears. I first didn't know what I was doing wrong, (was new to Android) and I re-formatted my SD card twice.
Anyway, after a while, I relize just turn off the phone, remove card, wait a few seconds, and put all back together.
Hope this works for you
Regards
So I tried out a theme that was in beta using CM 6.0.2 and it had some issue with it (the battery icon wouldn't display) and so I simply reflashed to CM6 RC3 and tried another theme but now every time I try to install a theme I get boot loops (Ive been reflashing between themes) any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
I had a similar issue where anything I was flashing would lead to a boot loop and I'd have to restore to my backup. One thing I did with what appears to be successful for now, I took my 8Gb mem card out, formatted a 2gb spare card on my comp, downloaded a stable rom onto said 2gb spare card, wiped data/cache/dalvik, flashed ROM and finally got my phone stable again, then I ran a backup on that card. With the 8gb card I moved all pictures/music/etc onto my comp, completely reformatted it on my comp, and inserted into the now stable phone and again ran another backup. Hopefully this helps. Good luck brother!
for some time I was using a Samsung 8GB SDHC Class 2 which came with the device.
I have made it a Goldcard, rooted the phone and installed Froyo. then I began to get SD Card Unexpectedly Removed errors after a few minutes of using an app instaled on SD (mostly when I tried to run ColorDict, which keeps dict data on SD). I am not sure, but I think this began to happen when I tried to upgrade to OTA 2.29 and "Red Triangle of Death" (lol) appeared... my Desire was getting unusable as it happened more frequently and required the phone to be powered off and the card to be taken out and insterted again. I tried formatting from Windows level, from phone level, checking for errors, bad sectors etc, but everything failed, so I bought Kingston 16GB SDHC Class 4. and, as you can expect, nothing really improved. well, maybe the errors were a little less frequent.
so I tried to change the ROM, yesterday I have flashed LeeDroid 2.3d No-A2SD, since then the error came twice - first when I tried to wipe sdext in recovery and about five minutes ago, while accessing the card with Root Explorer. I have to stress out that I use the SD intensively through the day as I install apps and test new games. so it seems that the appearence of that error is somehow related to ROM as normally it would happen much more frequently.
did anyone experience similar coincidence?
I have had the SD Card unmount itself randomly before with a custom ROM but it has been a one off. I just rebooted and it was working.
However, your problem is quite extensive. I guess you could just sort of leave it for a whole day not doing anything and see if anything happens. If so, then it could be a number of reasons. Reformat, check for errors (thoroughly), change your ROM to stock and test that out.
Im using a SCLD GSM Desire rooted. Ive used Gingerbread versions of Oxygen, CM7, and currently on MIUI XJ but all freeze up on me often(almost daily) and battery pulls are required to revive.
The freezes do not happen with my 2GB Samsung SD card that came with the phone, but i have used 3 brand new Sandisk 16GB Class 4 SD cards and it crashes on all. This is regardless of whether i have Apps2SD enabled or not. I have looked for last_kmsg after the crashes on CM7 and Oxygen, but the file is never present after a battery pull, if i reboot normally i will get an old last_kmsg file from a few months back.
Was transferring about a gig of music to my phone currently on MIUI XJ 1.12.2, and after i unmounted USB storage it froze up and crashed.
The SD card im currently using was bought at a Virgin store, so im sure it wouldnt be a fake. I hope someone can help troubleshoot, im completely out of ideas!!
Thanks a tone in advance!

which version of MIUI-XJ ie.. A2SD or XPart or D2W?
You can try the following:
1. take nand backup, titanium backup & miui backup
2. download the full rom
3. full wip/wip cache/wip dalvik
4. flash the rom, if you are using cm7r2 hboot you might have to flash market cache fix.
5. let the rom reboot automatically and then let it settle for 15-20 mins
6. go to super user and make sure you enable ROOT permission ON.
7. power-off and power-on, restore your apps.
Thanks for help, appreciate it. I'm running the apps2sd version. Will flash according the method you have suggested. Since I'm on apps2sd, any reformatting/repartitiin you recommend?
Right now for the 16gb class 4 card I have a 1gb ext3 partition created using gparted.
You partitionend your SD card with an FAT32 partition and an EXT partition. If you partitionend in that order and set both partitions primary, you are ready for A2SD/A2SD+.
But please use "A2SD" if you are talking about the script which moves apps automatically to EXT partition, because with "app2sd" you could also mean the FroYo-App2SD and this would be very confusing.
Thanks for the help guys. I repartitioned and reflashed miui according to the procedures you'll mentioned. So far its been running fine, except that I had to use the terminal to reinstall a2sd yesterday, but still no crashes.
So far I have not put any music on the phone since last time it crashed when I filled up the SD. Now that I'm certain the installation is clean after using it for the past few days, ill go ahead and fill up some muswic tomorrow and will post back here.
So the phone crashes everyday now. Noticeably after I enabled a2sd amd moved dalvik.
Need to perform battery pulls to revive the phone and there is no last_kmsg after a reboot.it really kills me everytime I need to pull out the battery, hopefully someone can help troubleshoot!
I have the same problem. It's do not freeze only with stock hboot
Since I'm rooted on custom rom, any way to use a stock hboot now?
yes, you can use any rom with stock hboot. but you will not have much memory for applications
just checked, im on stock hboot.
do you have any other ideas ?

After failing to get 3 of my 16gb sandisk cards working, I tried my Samsung 2gb that came with the phone. This card is working flawlessly for the past month (or however long its been). I'm using a 512mb partition with apps and cache moved to SD with zipalign running and its never crashed.
Does anyone have any ideas? Can't really load any music into such a small card
I have a similar problem.
My phone crashes every time I browse fast trough my picture gallery (I have a lot of pictures) or I use an app that accesses the SD card continuously for several minutes.
For instance, it happens when I do a batch backup with Titanium Backup for all my applications.
I tried the official ROMs and custom ROMs (Cyanogen, DevNull) but the problem persisted.
I sent the device to HTC and they replaced the mainboard.
I tried then the latest official ROM and I faced the same problem.
I switched again to Cyanogen and the same problem appeared.
I have to mention that all this time I used a 8GB SD card (I tried several different cards with the same result) and no App2SD.
Now I'm using the card delivered by HTC together with the device and the problem is gone.
This card is only 4GB (the brand is Samsung) but it seems to work flawless.
My advise is to try a 4GB card and see if it works.
So this is a very weird problem. Im on Tema 18.5 ROM, and I tried installing the Xluco kernel, but I got a blank screen on boot. I flashed the Temaseks ROM again and everything is normal, but when I insert an SDCARD it says checking for errors and it hangs on this for ever. I even tried another SD card and its the same thing. The weird thing is that I'm able to access the SD card from recovery!! Ive tried factory wipe (system, data...everything), and reinstalling the ROM, but the problem is still there. I tried the SD cards in my phone and they are recognized immediately.
Can anyone decipher what could be going wrong?
Best,
Sam
