Hello,
I'm experiencing random reboots with the custom roms I'm trying out. So far this is happening with SGBS 1.1 and Cool VisionS v7.
The reboots happen when I use the phone, could be while playing music, using maps, or a task manager. Sometimes the phone is stable for a day, sometimes it reboots every few minutes.
Always wiped everything before installing the rom, and also tried wiping after to try to solve the problem. Also, reinstalling the roms didn't help.
What could be the cause (and solution)?
Poor hardware.
my sense UI also keeps restarting, gingerburst rom... 1gb data2sd

What do you mean? Poor quality SD card?
Tried the stock Desire Froyo rom and now also getting restarts. Happens during installing stuff from the market now. Everytime I try to install something from the market, the phone restarts after a few secs.
Any idea?

warranty repair?
to be honest though I had some random restarts awhile back - happened about after 4 days or so - but it went away after a few reflashes

U just messed up something, try also to reformat ur sd card from ur phone (first do a backup of the sd card content)
my Desire suffered badly from random reboots and the only way it was fixed was with a warranty repair with HTC. They replaced the main board. For me just using maps was enough to send it into a boot loop
Thanks for the replies. Turns out that a repartitioning and reformat of the SD card did help. A MB replacement may not be necessary if things keep working like they do now.
Thanks!
I had in the last days same issue and i sent my device to the service center. They changed my motherboard. It's hw problem bro, send it to htc, good luck

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.
Hi,
I am having a really odd and very frustrating issue with the latest CM7 Stable Build on my device.
I have been using the latest stable since its release back in November.
I ensured a clean wipe and install of CM 7.1.0.1 and setup my phone accordingly and Nandroid Back Up around a Week later as the Device was behaving as intended.
Sadly, I am now plagued with the following issue which occurs without any common trigger....
I will be using the device which will be behaving normally and it will suddenly, normally when screen is off... reboot and enter a Boot Loop (CM7 Robot will either be frozen solid or will keep rebooting to CM7 Robot) which seems to continue until a battery pull.
I will then restart the device and it sometimes boots straight away though sometimes hangs for a while. Once booted it boot to the 'Setup your device' Screen, from which point onwards you are required to Re-Enter your Logins for Google and such like. All settings and sync profiles are normally missing/deleted so requires setting up of all apps requiring logins etc.
As you can imagine, the above is quite an inconvenient as it normally happens when I actually need to use the device
I have tried reinstalling a clean CM7 over the top as well as wiping and formatting the SD card.
Neither seem to have solved the issue.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
It is also worth noting that while the device will charge off USB, it will not allow usb tethering or any form of USB Mounting etc.
Cheers
Jason

cm7 issues.
sounds like your in quite a pickle my friend.
i used to get your reboot issues (the bootloops) but that was because my phone was overclocked to over 700. i never got the setup device screen though.
when you say youve tried a clean install over cm7 have you factory reset the device as well as deleteing the dalvik cache??
also my sound stupid but have you tried your backup to see if it starts again??
it sounds like something has became quite corrupted.
have you installed any new apps recently or changed anything in the system files of the phone?
also when you have to go through the set up are all your apps still there afterwards? And when you first flashed it did the tethering work at all?

Yup and while it does restore to a point where I can use my phone quite quickly after however I'm very cautious after - typically it happens a couple of weeks later

No real new recent apps installed and no mods to the system files that I can recall.

All my apps are still installed but many apps require re-setup or accounts for sync require re-adding. Phonebook requires import of contacts however messages remain in place.
I can't recall I think it did or at least USB-Storage did
Do you have a SD ext partition?
I ask because I had similar problems (randomly losing data) with an ext 4 partition, repartitioning my card using ext 3 solved it, also put your dalvik cache and data back into phone memory if it isn't already as that can also cause instability.

Try this....
Run an RUU for wildfire.
- Download (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24 _ 3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed) from android forums.
- Connect phone to PC and run RUU
- This downgrads phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss
- Re-root with unrevoked 3
- Re-Flash CM7 and gApps
Many thanks Scratch and Arkose,
Since my post last week I have since formatted the SD Card as well as Wiping the Phone as much as possible.
I then flashed and installed the latest CM7 Stable, Radio Package as well as re-setting up the EXT Partition this time as Type 3.
Once up and running I reinstalled all Apps.
Seems to be running okay so far.
Long may it last hopefully.
If not will try last suggesion
Great stuff. Let us know how it goes

A quick update...
Still having issues
I'm noticing that randomly phone process will crash for no apparent reason/cause, normally when off Wifi and on Mobile Data.
Last night was the worst its even been though... at a critical moment when I needed the phone to work... it decided it was having none of it.
Phone kept switching Airplane Mode On and Off causing process.android.com to crash along with most other services So I rebooted only to find that it now was either stuck in Airplane Mode or couldnt enable to Radio (No Phone Signal at all) so I did a battery pull while trying to walk home in the pitch black and rebooted.
The Saga continued even after a battery pull, I eventually as I got in the door was able to use the 'Torch' and recieve a phonecall before all the processes crashed once more...
So I did a battery pull, left the phone for five mins and rebooted. All was well for a while, enabled Wifi, phone seemed happy.
Had to reboot a short while ago, after recieiving a phonecall and text.... grrr... anyone have any suggestions?
I had problem with process restarting. Adw launcher process I downloaded Go Launcher ex I have no problems now.

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.
I have recently installed the pre rooted gb Rom and I have been experiencing a lot of problems with it , like my phone would just get really slow and reboot while I'm in a middle of a phonecall , I have tried everything formatting the partion and memory card reinstarlling the Rom , the problem still persist someone help where are my going wrong?,

Try a different rom. Preferably an AOSP one. See if the same thing persists. If it does, the sd card is probably slow.
i started getting this message 3 weeks ago. it just started out of nowhere. whenever i started my phone i got all my apps force closing. now it seems to be happening to me every time i restart or turn off my phone. i did have a nandroid backup from 1 month ago but it also gets the force closing error after it restarts.
i have tried fixing permissions from CMW but this dows nothing. i tried a few other apps to try fix them (appextract, rom manager) but non of these helped.
i have a samsung galaxy ace 2 (XXLD8) on three IE network. its running android 2.3.6. rooted with CMW.
the only other option i have left would be to flash the firmware back onto the device but would anyone have an option that i could try before i do that?
thanks

Did this all happen after flashing root access?? Maybe you used bad root file??
Did you flash stock rom through odin
If you flash stock rom(odin) without wipe data, cahe and dalvik, force closes will occur.

SD booster app is the culprit behind this. This app have caused may devices to malfunction and sd cards to burn.
Setting -->manage app-->choose the app & clear data
This is my method
