[Q] HTC Desire unexpected reboots. - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
Can someone include logging kernel messages to file on the sdcard during boot.
My reason for asking is I need to debug a constant reboot loop that occurs randomly. When the phone appears to overheat it wont boot up into recovery preventing me to use ADB, it just reboots constantly, meaning every time it reboots your ring buffer is cleared also resulting in those logs being lost. Really pointless if you need to debug something. Klogd would be really useful here if it was compiled into the kernel.
After the phone cooled down it will boot again normally, both into normal Android and the recovery, just for it to reboot eventually if heavily utilized. I've isolated this not being the radio by doing tests with out the sim slotted.
I am rooted with s-off.
Being technical and all i just would like to have some hard evidence before making a call to get the motherboard replaced. I believe the kernel logging would give me those "error codes" I'm looking for attributing to the rebooting.

Kernel: 2.6.32.32-insertcoin-110308 (yes i know there is a newer kernel)
Thanks,
Hendrik

Update*
I've ended up replacing the mainboard. Phoned was send to Leaf and they confirmed that the mainboard was faulty that's causing the phone to reboot constantly. After the mainboard replacement I've got a new IMEI number too. It's not a overheating issue as previously speculated by many forums. Save yourself the pain and just replace the mainboard if you have random reboots. Can't wait to root it tonight.
Hope this helped someone.

Boot Loop........Need Help.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Frnds, Sorry if this was asked before but, i am so confused after reading so many problems and solutions too on here as well as on net....
I need a little help from you on my Desire Bootloop problem...
i have the problem since a few days.
first time i notice it,was when the desire was charghing and i used it a bit,it restarts again and again.so i put out the battery and wait a few minutes,than it works.
it´s also,when i use it a long time with Mpas, wifi etc the phone turns off and i have the boot loop.
but when i take out my sim,it works fine.
my question is,do i need a new sim or is it a hardware problem?
i wanna commit that i have unbranded (Purchased from Indian grey market b4 official launch of desire in INDIA) phone and i am unable to send it to HTC repair center.
i tried different ROM's available here on XDA but, same problem with all.....Is there any way to unroot the phone (may solve my problem)
Below are the details of my desire

I am using CM7 now.
i also would like to add few observations of past 2 days...Might help you to find right way....
After reading so many threads on reboot issues of Froyo....i shut off my Mobile Internet (2G - Vodafone).Phone had never restarted (Once only in 2 days after a long phone call i.e. 20 Mins+)
i tried to on 2G 4-5 times to get my mails...All time immediately restarted...
so, my conclusion is because 2G net connection....
Please try to help me ..... Thanks Again
Someone please atleast try to give me some directions.....
Sadly bootloops are a part of all gingerbread roms at the moment, it's a fault in the code from Google.
The latest 2.3.3 builds are supposed to resolve this, though I don't know how long before CM will have this integrated.
The only things I can suggest -
a) reboot manually every day or two - chances of bootloop are worse the longer it runs
b) if you get a bootloop, hold power + vol down + trackpad and it will break the loop without having to pull out your battery.

That isn't necessarily true. I've no 1 bootloop and I have flash Gingerbread roms dozens of times. I find if you reflash the rom it usually boots up fine.
I haven't had bootloops either (using Redux), but in the ROM's thread, everybody who does solves the problem by flashing a new kernel (usually Coutts). I've never used CM, so I'm not really sure if it helps, but you could give it a try Btw, please be careful if the kernel you're applying does undervolting or overclocking, and make sure you're not flashing a FroYo kernel while using a Gingerbread system or vice-versa

Display Freezing

Hi,
I using htc desire (telextra) in india bought from Australia. Initially used stock rom then change to custom rom and used airtel sim card. i used it up to nearly one and half year without any problem. Before three months i had ported my sim card to Vodafone. After that i am facing freezing issues at the freezing time it receiving incoming calls and rings well but display is full freezed. Also while clicking on the power button turn on the hardkeys and off when agian click on the ower button...
Have to restart it for getting agian properly. At that time received incoming will show as missed call..
I tried custom roms (paul modaco and leedroid) after that i switch to stock unroot, then also facing the same issue
it will be highly appreciable if anyone helps me to solve this issue!!!
What hboot did you use and is your device s-offed?

I have the same thing happening to me. I too have been using A2SD+ for about 9 months now.
Within the last few weeks..
I was running Insert Coin A2SD+ 1.1.4 with the stock hboot, occasionally the phone would freeze and the only way to restart the phone was to remove the battery.
After searching around it turns out it could be one of two problems. Either my microsd card is failing (16GB Class 4 Sandisk) or there are some rouge apps causing this freeze?
I recently flashed the CM7 r2 Hboot and is now running the CM7 version of Insert Coin 1.1.4, as I thought changing ROMs would eradicate this problem but last night it happened again. Pulled out the microsd this morning and gave it a good clean on its connectors. Seeing how long it's gonna last before it decides to do its not-so-funny freeze thing.
Used android flasher to upgrade the radio to 5.17.05.23 as well even though it doesn't say so below. It does on the 'About Phone' page.
Not sure if this is going to help but this is my phone.

Well, good news is since I posted there hasn't been any screen freezes or the suspected app causing the freeze. Thinking now it probably is the microsd card failing.
Happened just now, no apparent reason for it either. Phone has been pretty idle the whole day, just one phone call earlier today.
Return to stock. If problem persits, call HTC.

[Q] Desire reboots

Hi people!
My HTC Desire has a annoying problem, being that it reboots spontaneously.
Well, maybe not really spontaneously.
I believe that it reboots when I (should) receive a call or message, maybe also with push notifications, but that I don't know.
I tried but can't reproduce the problem by calling or texting myself with another phone. But I does happing when people call or text me, not always tho.
With 2G only of Wifi, I have not experienced the problem.
It began while being on MIUI (with a 3th latest radio or so/beta/nog directly after a update). Because MIUI began to irritate me with its speed and bug now and then, I wiped it all and flashed CM7.1 STABLE, incl latest radio, and installed my apps again.
Still reboots.
Flashed a way older radio. Still reboots.
Pretty important, it does NOT get hot.
Facts:
- 3G off, not experienced a problem
- when 3G off, sometimes no signal
- does not get hot
- different radio's, different roms
- slipt out of my hands and fell in a bath, got I out before it even hit the bottom. This happened two of three 2 days before the problems began
I read about HTC reboot problems on Vodafone NL a while ago.. I am on this network, but the posts are not recent..
I read about HTC Desire reboot problems while using the phone, after it's getting hot (2010 posts).
I did had reboots a few months earlier, but that was a bug on MIUI.
Anyone an idea what the problem is?
Make a complete backup and change rom. If problem persits, go back to stock. If desire still reboots, call HTC.

how dis his HBOOT have anything at all to do with rebooting
@OP Try a different ROM.. try both AOSP and Sense, if you still get the issue try return it to stock (RUU) and see if problem persists.. if it does then it's a hardware problem and call HTC.
Change rom

I was having reboot problems with LeeDroid. Installed Tristan202's kernel, fixed it right up.
Are you undervolting or overclocking? That can cause random reboots when the system can't distinguish the actual signals from the random noise and interference, wither because it's too fast (overclocked too high) or too weak (undervolted too low). Bump up the voltage and/or reduce the clock speed a little, and see if that helps.
I didn't do anything with the clockspeed or so. The max CPU frequency is adjustable in CM7, but left it on 998MHz. I'll try 1075 now?
The link to Leedroid is a froyo. But I like gingerbread. HTC even made a gingerbread rom (available on htc dev center).
And the phone had worked normally on gingerbread.
An other problem I had for a longer time.
Sometimes the phone only uploads and doesn't download (as I can see by watching the arrows). So I internet connection doesn't work then. Putting it on flightmode and back does solve the problem.

I've got same problems. After rooting my HTC Desire and installing Revolution ROM, it has worked well for about 24h, then i was surprised with disappearing all my data (contacts, messages, settings, was needed to log in back to google, sync was off), so i set up everything again, after few hours of normal work, i noticed that i have to enter SIM card PIN code. ok, done. After few more hours SIM card PIN code again. So i reflashed with another custom ROM and phone started to reboot each time at SIM card pin code enter screen, or after finishing booting. Few minutes ago i tryed to reflash with another ROM, which i used to have few months ago and which was pretty stable (Reflex), and now im stuck at HTC boot logo

Use a RUU, make sure it's the right one for your phone or that you have a goldcard.
I would try Oxygen Rom, it happened to me in the past but it was fixed a bunch of releases back.
Hmm,. running on 1075Mhz now and no reboots since.. while being on 3G and receiving a few calls and (whatsapp) messages.
I don't want to bump into conclusions to fast, but at least it's remarkable.
Or my phone is dryed up.
(@random_factor?) IF the 1075Mhz setting is the solution, how is that possible??
And I just hit the trackball to enter my phone and tadaaaa: reboot
RUU Bravo flashed.. First flashed hboot stock. Still on alpharev bootloader and S-OFF, so if phones still reboots, I must not forget to flash the stock bootloader... hehe. I will post the results ofcourse of the stock rom ofcourse.
[EDIT]
Being on stock rom/radio, I just had another reboot. Guess it's safe to say it's a hardware problem..
1Ro try to install non-A2SD Rom. it'd worked for me.
Funkypotatoe, I've installed the RUU for my phone. So I'm on the original froyo with original radio, so no a2sd and I'm not using android's original apps2sd now.

yeah, call HTC and request a pickup, hopefully you'll get a Desire S
also make sure your bootloader is back to stock (did you flash the downgrader before you ran the RUU?) if you've just got everything stock after the RUU, apart from the bootloader (if you're still S-OFF), go to my guide and there's a section about still s-off after RUU, do the 2nd method since it's quicker and safer..... and if you're already S-ON just ignore everything I've said and call HTC
Yes I'm still S-OFF.
I've checked your guide: Nice work!
I in doubt of if I should send it to HTC, because of the water incident. There are little white strips in the phone and on the battery that turn red when in contact with water.
The strip on the battery is redish, just from wiping it with a 'wet' towel (there were here and there little drops of water). The visible strip in the phone is still white. Don't know if there are more strips inside the phone. I would suck if I send to phone for warranty, and get as a result: waterdamage, 35 euro research costs.

Screen Turning on Randomly/Random Refreshes/Random Backing out of Messages

Hello all,
Problem: Phone randomly turning screen on, fading away, and then turning back on while charging and not charging. Some screens also seem to 'refresh' randomly including Facebook, news feeds etc. Phone acts like the back button is being pressed when composing messages as well, in various apps, stock message app, Facebook, Instagram etc.
History: Prior to me rooting the phone, I never had this issue but when I rooted, I stayed on 5.0.2 Android and flashed the ViperOne rom. All was good. I started running into this issue along with car mode randomly turning on by itself. I disabled the app and eventually just removed it (via Titanium Backup), thinking it was the problem.
I went S-Off to flash the international firmware since I wasn't receiving calls due to HD-Voice not being compatible with the rom I had downloaded. All was well until a couple of days with the rom and the phone started turning on by itself, when plugged in and when not plugged in. Also, having issues with the phone backing out of messages/refreshing on its own started as well.
Asking for help on ViperOne thread, I was instructed to provide a catlog of when it would do this. Attached is the catlog if anybody is interested. Diagnosing this, the OP concluded that he found this line of code a few times, which is how many times the screen came on:

Been clearing SuperSU to see what it is that is requesting access and waking the screen up but nothing has been posted in the logs when the screen turns on, so I'm stumped and at a dead end. I'm thinking of flashing an RUU prior to 5.0.2 to see if the problems stays. I've tried flashing a different rom (SkyDragon) and this issue still came back.

Would a messed up mirco USB charging port cause it to short out and display these kinds of issues? Trying to narrow it down.

Reverting to stock using ARUWizard can cause constant reboots?

Hello, I have a 64 GB HTC One M9u, S-OFF with CID: HTC__001.
EDIT:
It seems that even after my sd card flash the phone still does reboot randomly (perhaps I am being silly and we can say that it is crashing), I just had it occour to me after using it for a while. I have no idea why this persists, maybe it's a faulty battery instead? I was unable to change the title, but decided to keep the thread. Any help about this behaviour is greatly appreciated.
When I was reverting to stock, here is what I did:
1. I used ARUWizard to flash 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_3.35.401.12_Radio_01.01_U11440792_97.00.51203G_F_release_signed.zip
2. Then I did a OTA upgrade to latest 3.* firmware
3. after that I got a OTA to latest 4.* firmware
What happened then was that my device kept rebooting/crashing constantly even with the smallest of things happening like when I tried to setup the Play-account or used the music app, this occoured as weird to me.
There is only some quirks I noticed that seems odd:
The HTC Sense menus did not come in black with blue icons if activates as they did in normal stock, but they were instead black with red if activated, which seems suspicious. The background came out as hills one with the blue skies, while the one that was supposed to be there is the blue one with the yellow arrow (>)
So far I have proceeded to install RUU again, I did this by using the sd card method (since 4.* supports exFAT) I first put 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_N70_SENSE80_MR_HTC_Europe_4.28.401.3_Radio_01.01_U114401011_117.00.61117G_2_F_release_498151_signed_2.zip on the sdcard, then after this was flashed I did another HTC update (maybe just some HTC apps update) I am now on 4.28.401.3 CL869604.
I want to know if possibly there is a corruption on my phone that causes the phone to crash and to crash and rebootconstantly for no apparent reason? The crash can be me just watching a YouTube video and nothing more.
I also want to check if the eMMC or the RAM is working as they should, because perhaps this mistake happened due to the eMMC corruption, but I do not know how this can be done with Android, if you know how please tell me
Here is an update to whom it may be of interest. I bought this device S-Off with a custom ROM used, so I am considering giving it back to this person for being faulty.
But then here is something interesting, it appears it has been modified from Asian firmware to EU firmware, when I checked the IMEI online I got the following information: DEF00,w/o SIM Lock,HIMA#UHL_64G-C9#ASIA
It appears it is set to HTC__001 incorrectly, any ideas for what will be the corred CID and/or firmware for the smartphone? Maybe the incorrect firmware is causing this crash, and a fix will be just to revert to the Asian firmware.
