Random Reboot. Help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I charge my phone overnight everynight. There are times when i wake up in the morning my phone is just stuck on the splash screen. What could be the problem?
-I'm Running on CM6.1.1
-I have a customize splash screen and boot animation
-I used unrevoked root and unrevoked s-off
-I noticed that the random reboot happened when wifi is on (noticed this twice, not sure about the other times)
-And this started to happen (from what i remember) when i tried to flash something over my recovery (toast or something like that, i can't remember i was just following a tutorial for me to able to put a new splash screen. It was for fast reboot to work) then i got stuck on a loop in bootloader. Then i flashed CM6.1.1 to get an image.
Help please?

A clean flash of cm 6.1.2 should not give you any issues. Are you using a custom kernel?

Random reboots are usually always caused by a custom kernel that your phone does not like.. I could be wrong but that is my experience anyway...

i had the same exact thing except i actually had 6.1.2 clean with no custom stuff. the only thing custom would be the galaxy s theme i put on it.
i would be trying to go to sleep and i would feel my phone vibrate and then i noticed its rebooting, the rebooting is pretty frequent.
i wiped and restored my original backup and installed all the new stuff (radio/wimax/etc.., except hboot)
right now im gonna install a clean 6.1.2 and see how it goes

No custom kernel. Maybe i just need to manually flash cm6 so i can wipe data 3 or 4 times. I kinda don't trust the rom manager and clockwork work recovery method i feel like it doesnt really wipe everything clean before installing.

How do you un-install a custom ROM
I installed a custom ROM and now (a month or two later) I'm getting reboot after reboot. How do I get rid of the custom ROM?
Also, what does it mean when the phone reboots, then vibrates 5 times and locks up?

To get rid of the custom rom just do wipe through recovery...
And the the locking up? I have no clue why that is... sorry

Can't get into recovery since I flashed latest LeeDroid 1.8b

I had Cyanogen before and I wanted to see what LeeDroid was all about.. flashed it, everything went great. Didn't like it cause Cyanogen is just so different so many more options!
So I decided to revert back to Cyanogen, to a new nightly build. I boot the phone up, goto Recovery and nothing.. it just freezes at the HTC screen. This would happen occasionally with Cyanogen and all I had to do was take the battery out and boot up again and I could get back in. I'm using Clockwork Recovery Mod SLCD.
Now with LeeDroid, I didn't even install any apps or anything, I just didn't like the Sense UI and lack of options. I powered the phone down, selected Recovery and nothing.. HTC screen and doesn't go anywhere.
I went to windows, thought I'd try reflashing using Unrevoked3 and the phone froze at the HTC screen again. I thought I bricked it.. so I took the battery out, and turned the phone on and it booted up.. checked my settings and everything was good. Tried it one more time.. then it got to the Flashing Recovery image.. do not touch your phone.. but then without saying Done or anything, the phone booted up into LeeDroid. That wasn't supposed to happen.
What the hell is going on? Now I'm scared that I might have corrupted the recovery image, my phones up and running, but I don't want to reboot it or anything in fear that it may get bricked
Have you tried to launch a recovery using fake flash?
No idea what that is.. I'm all new to this
According to this thread.. it won't work with an unrevoked root.

Try using Clockworkmod recovery by installing ROM Manager from the market. I always use that when upgrading or switching to a new rom.
No idea what's happening but I rebooted, and got into recovery.. flashed Open Desire and everything works now.. I think.
I still don't get why sometimes I can't get into Recovery and it just freezes.. does that happen to anyone else?

[Q] Inconsistent Recovery

I am currently using AR Recovery on my evo. Everything was working fine until two weeks ago when I got major random reboots. I have since fixed the reboots, but one problem remains. After one use of the recovery I am no longer able to get back to it. If I attempt the various means, ie reboot recovery from adb, from cyanogen reboot, from ROM manager and from the bootloader, my phone continuously boots the splash screen in a loop. When this happens I have tried to reinstall the recovery by;
-fastboot
-adb
-ROM Manager
-terminal emulator
These all have given me mixed results as the problem happens after only a single use. One odd thing to note is that one time any reboot recovery command would take me to fatboot, even via the bootloader.
HTC EVO 002
Cyanogen 6.1 stable
Baseband 2.15.00.09.01
Stock kernel
Sorry for the amount of info to take in, but I really need the help. Thanks

[Q] WTH just happened?

I was flashing the newest cm10 as I do every few days. I flash that, then inverted apps, then kernel, then reboot and never had a problem. Now I am getting a blank screen after the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" splash with the button back-lights lit. Nothing else happens, no response. Never had an issue, but now I am worried. Any help here?
EDIT: I tried booting into recovery a few times with no success. Just tried it again and held all 3 buttons past the recovery flash on the top of the screen. Booted into that and re-flashed the update by itself. Phone just booted back up. Not sure what happened, but all is well in my s3 land again.
Usually not a good idea to flash a ROM and kernel at the same time. I know you said that that's the way you've been doing it buuuut....what happened to your phone is the symptom of your phone trying to match up a ROM and separate kernel at the same time, it got confused while booting lol. Best practice it ROM, gapps, reboot system let phone fully boot, reboot recovery and install kernel. Its an extra step but usually avoids what happened to you.
If your using ktoonsez kernel he has a special build for the latest nightly for people with the same problem as yours, it's not in the op, start from the end of the thread and work backwards.

[Q] Stuck on boot screen after CM10.1/AOKP flashes.

Good morning,
I've been having some issues after trying to flash AOKP & CM10.1 on my Note 2. In the past I've had no issues flashing on any phones that I've had, but this one for some reason just doesn't want to work.
After I'll flash a rom using TeamWin recovery, it will just sit at the Samsung splash screen for as long as you keep the phone on. When I flash AOKP, it at least goes to the X screen where it sits forever. I'm kind of at a loss because I've never seen this happen before. I can flash back to OEM using my backup just fine, but just nothing other than OEM works.
I've got root, and I even got desperate and followed instructions on this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caU-onGSk5o
Am I missing a kernal, or something? Or am I just doing something completely stupid and don't realize it.

[Q] BRICKED! Bootloop VZW HELP!

Dear XDA,
I have tried all I can to fix this problem. Let me explain how it all started.
I was using my phone normally, running the same custom rom ive been running for the past 6 months. I went to turn on wifi then turned off the screen. Later when i went to check my phone the screen would not turn on, so i performed a battery pull. After that i saw the normal google boot screen and then the custom rom boot screen. It stayed on that screen for a few seconds and then went back to the google boot screen. It then did this over and over, ive left it on for an hour once and it kept doing the same thing. Only way to stop this is with battery pull.
So what can i do with the phone:
I can access fastboot
I can access download mode
What have i tried:
I tried the following methods:
1) Flashing a Back Up
2) Wiping data, flashing a rom and gapps
3) fastboot adb http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13819-how-tovzw-return-to-factory-state-unroot-and-relock/
4) ODIN http://rootzwiki.com/topic/27050-vzwodin-files-needed-for-odin-winstructions/
The same issue continues even after successfully completing these methods. Im now down to my last strand and hoping the great xda community can help me.

Fastboot seems the best solution to me. What exactly went wrong? Also you could try a OMAP flash.

To be honest I have no idea what happened. It happened out of no where didn't flash a new rom or anything. OMAP flash? Never heard of it but I'll definitely look into it and try it. I've tried fastboot method and still got the same problem sadly
Really hoping this isn't a hardware issue
I just tried an OMAP Flash and still have the same problem. Ive moved on to a new phone but I still want to get this one working. Any other ideas to fix this problem?
Got into the same problem as yours. I googled around, and most people fix this problem by flashing stock image. Basically wipe your phone clean, e.g system,data,cache etc. and then flash in the stock image u downloaded from google website throught fastboot mode. I tried that method, but my phone is still stuck in bootloop. You can give it a try and see if it works
