Occasional Reboot causes hangs?

I know at least two of us here have this problem. With me it happens nearly every other reboot, when I boot to recovery or when I boot the phone. It just sticks at white HTC screen forever and I have to pull the battery.
It is more of an anoyyance than anything however I suppose it could be dangerous if it happened during radio update. Anyone else have the problem or some insight into what causes it?
I know mine started doing it before I even flashed a permanent recovery so that's not the problem.
Thanks.

I had this problem, but only on vanilla FroYo roms. It annoyed me and stopped a friend from getting one (even after a lengthy conversation about it being me rooting and the rom) but on sense no such problems.
Now on CM6 and I don't get the problem. So I myself have narrowed it down to vanilla FroYo.

I'm on cm6 and get it all the time. Had it on defrost too.

I'm using LeeDroids v1.3a sense Rom and I've never had a hang. To be honest I've never had froyo run this smoothly on any other Rom before. I've rebooted about 10 times and its fast and swift, with no hangs.

Defrost was the worst due it with me. Every other boot (if I was lucky!) would end up in a boot loop.
Sent from my Desire using XDA App

i think its to do with your ext not mounting so then it hangs. I had this issue on OD 1.6 and AdamG's Sense but it got sorted when I used Defrost's a2sd script.

Is there some sort of log i can pull to see what is going wrong when it hangs?

Any ideas on how to diagnose what is going wrong on boot?

I don't know if I understand what is the real problem, i'm spanish.
I understand that some ROM's are not booting well doing a bootloop. With my Desire I haven't got this issue but on my cousin Desire this problem occured with a ROM that are working well for me with same conditions and tested also with same SD card.
I try this:
Apply the PB99IMG.zip based on 1.23 from Virgin Mobile and working correctly.
Wipe from recovery, and bootloop.
Apply again de PB99IMG.zip
Flash a rooted version of this ROM without wipe, device boot well and its rooted.
I try to flash the MDC r5 Froyo with Sense and same problem ocurre but can't boot with or without wipe.

[Q] HELP: my HTC Desire reboot/freeze/hangs when I use a cooked ROM

Hi guys:
I am really desperate now... my phone only seems to work with the official ROM, everytime I rooted, and installaed a Cooked ROM (GB ROM) very soon (in a minutes of using it) it will hang or freeze or reboot.
I explain all backround:
1. firstable I have my desire working for awhile with many cooked ROM (Froyo), after months,the phone started to reboot everytime, so I have sent it to the SAT, and they changed the motherboard. and give it back to me.
- The new motherboard is
PVT4
HBOOT 0.93
MicroO 0,51d
2. I rooted it OK (using unrevoke methos)
3. Flashed a cooked ROM => then is when the problem starts, everything after falshing is OK, but after a few time of usage with the cooked ROM, then the phones starts to freezes randomly.
some further info:
- tried with Neophyte ROMs Reflez 2.0.9,2.1.0...2.1.6 => same issue
- tried with LeeDrOiD V2.5.0 FINAL | 28th May l Official => same issue
- tried with LeeDrOiD GB 3.0.6 => same issue
if I go back into the offical ROM (by unrroting method) using the "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed" => Issue is NOT reproduced!
- In all cases, I did try to keep ONLY apps coming from the flasehd ROMs, to make sure any app is causing the issue.
- I have tried using another miniSDcard (8GB class 4) => same issue!
Is it anything wrong with the new motherboard?
Is there anyway to check logs or trace why is freezing?
Any clue?
Thanks for your advise!

I have the same problem. I have noticed that most times my desire freezes when I download something over mobile network. So maybe the problem is in A2SD? I'm going to try with Cool Kingdom Rom, because I already have EXT4 Partition.

Thanks a lot Deivino for your comments.
Please keep me posted about what happens with your "Cool K. ROM"
hope your issue is gone then.
Mine still present, I can use ONLY the official ROM.

So I had no luck with Cool Rom. It still freezes, but much less now. Also these freezes are very random now, mostly when screen is off. I haven't flashed jet the newest radio and ril, but I don't think it would fix it either. I was thinking about unrooting, but when I did, I got less than 30% battery error with full battery. So I have no idea how to fix it or what is even causing this freezing.

Hi Deivino
Since I've unsuccesfully tried with many cooked ROMs, finally I have decided to take the phone to SAT, which fortunately still on guarantiee.
Let's see what do they find...
good luck with your phone,
best

I managed to unroot my desire and now running official android 2.2 what htc provides and the problem still occurs for me. I don't see no other way but to send it to warranty.

Hi Deivino
I did the same, actually many things unsuccesfully as you see in my first post.
Finally, I sent it to warranty, and they gave me back already a new device!
Now, it works OK.
So, unfortunately, the issue was not fixed at all, either I don't know what caused the issue.

SCésar

Try cyanogenmod.. it's THE singlemost stable ROM you can install on your phone. Never fails.

I agree.. never had an issue with CyanogenMod ROMs

Hi Guys,
thanks, finally I sent my desire to SAT, and they gave me back a complete new one!
So, with the old one I did all in my hands unsuccesfully as I explained in my first post, so I didn't try CyanogenMod ROMs therefore I will never know if it would works!
Anyway, thanks a lot guy for all your suggestions.

[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.
The tristan kernel:

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
HBOOT 0.93
Radio 5.11.05.27

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.

G2 boots into recovery after android revolution 7 rom flashed

Hi. I just flashed my old g2 with ARHD 7 and now the phone after I turn it on it boots into the HTC screen and then it goes directly into recovery. I had never had a problem like this when flashing a rom in this phone. I have searched all around but still cant find anything like this.

Off the top of my head, do you have the Desire Z hboot installed?
(Not sure if the problem description is a symptom of not having it, but it is required when running pretty much any Sense ROM)

This can happen if the ROM you flashed did not flash properly. Have you tried to wipe everything, redownload, and reflash the ROM?
I believe that biohazrd51 is correct, not having the desire z HBOOT can cause this problem as well.

Hey! Thanks for the replies! I did found out that I didn't had the desire z hboot....noobiadaaaa onmy side...hehe...I flashed it and I didn't even had to reflash the rom...it worked flawlesly. I was trying to use the phone with AT&T but it would not connect in other band than edge. I guess I'll check to see if the frequencies on the G2 are compatible with the AT&T network. It would make calls and receive. But the internet was slow as hell! Thanks again guys.

[Q] HELP! DHD Keeps rebooting.

Hi, So i bought this Desire HD second hand about two weeks ago and it was already with Android Revolution version 6.1.0 by mike1986. As soon as i got it the flashlight app sometimes shuts off the phone when i open it, now two days ago i was on the internet(mobile network not wifi) and the phone rebooted and from then on it kept rebooting until i removed the simcard then it powered on ok without sim. Now whenever i plug in the sim it keeps rebooting the only way to power it on with the sim inserted is to connect the charger and power it on while charging then its ok. Please help me if you can as i desperately need the phone.
Now its also shutting off when im playing a game, sometimes when using the camera, even when i was using qrcode scanner.

My phone was also rebooting randomly. I send my device back to HTC and they changed motherboard and a lot of another things
It was in warranty, so i had it for free

How about if you superwipe, then reinstall the ROM?
You can get 6.3.2 (& superwipe) for the ARHD ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040. This is the stock HTC ROM, tuned by mike1986.
There is also the version 7.0.4, which is in fact a Gingerbread port from the Sensation. Given your problems, probably best to start with 6.3.2
If that doesn't help, it's not a software thing, so it must be hardware. The phone should be under warranty, so you could return it to the ex-factory state by flashing the standard ROM for your territory, and then take it to the service centre. There are several threads on this here.

Also SD card is known to cause this issue, try booting without SD card.

Yep, super wipe or full wipe is the best idea. Try the full wipe first and then root the phone again. Check the ROM section for the latest ROM updates, sometimes these things go wrong and it simply requires a full wipe and flashing the ROM again.

Hi Thanks for trying to help guys
So far i did clean wipe with superwipe, flashed radio,flashed Revolution rom 6.3.3,flashed the kernel and the problem is still there.
The only thing that is going over in my mind is why does it hold on for a little bit while its connected to charger if the phone is idle, but then sometimes when i open flashlight or camera or play a game its reboots again.

Try flashing an appropriate RUU, if the problem persists then you know it's hardware and it is still under warranty so return it to HTC for a fix.
