I've been trying the RCMixs 2.0 ROM from robocik for quite a time now. I've got plenty of crashes, everytime. I mean, it doesn't matter if I use it or not, it just crashes, randomly sometimes up to 10 times a day, sometimes just after entering my SIM code so.... It gets boring.
I noticed that my device never crashes ( in fact these crashes are unstopping freezes, which means I have to remove the battery and put it back in order to reboot it) when I put it in Plane mode, or when I remove my SIM Card from my Desire.
But this is my second Desire. The other one was doing the same, and the only things I still have from it are my SD Card and my SIM card, and because of while my device was still under the official untouched RUU it was running perfectly despite the SD Card suddenly unmount itselves some times...
That's why I'm wondering if I have any chance that the SD or SIM Cards are responsible for these crashes ? If so, which one ?
Thx for your help !

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.
Hey.
My desire is driving me crazy!
It is (was) rooted and s-offed with a Coolexe-ROM on it.
A few month ago I opened a thread where I described random reboots an freezes. This somehow stopped after 2 weeks or so and I could use my desire as usual. Before that, there was this problem with the SD card, which couldn't be mounted. It wasn't working anymore and I bought a new one.
Since yesterday evening the random freezes, reboots and shutdowns started again. So badly that I could hardly keep it on for a few minutes.
I noticed, that the signal bar was showing the little cross mark, so that I couldn't even place calls or text someone.
So I decided to do a RUU flash, hoping that rooting it again and so on would solve the problem.
Turns out it didn't!
The signal bar is randomly showing me the cross icon (sometimes I have H or G connection though). In this unrooted state it doesn't freeze, reboot or shut down.
I tried to save the data from my SD card 2 times (in harddrive-mode), but after a while the windows explorer wasn't reacting and crashed.
I was able to save some of the data though.
This seems like a hardware problem (doesn't it?)...
Has someone experienced similar problems? (could this be the famous motherboard fault?)
Is it the SD card, or is the desire bricking the sd card?
I have no idea what to do. Is this something I could fix myself or do I have to send it in?
Hope someone can help me...
edit: I just noticed, that when windows explorer crashes and I change back to charging only-mode, I cannot view the SD card state under the settings menu...
Did you try removing the SD card and use the SD card by a card reader?
Also flash a new Rom? Or factory reset?
Hope you have a nand backup
when I tried using a card reader my PC wouldnt even recognize the card...
after the RUU-flash I did a factory reset from the settings menu... or is there another way?
I mean, shouldnt it be like a factory reset anyways after a RUU-flash?
If I am correct ruu deals with the recovery and radio part
I'm not sure though
Try contacting senior members
as it seems my SIM card is at least part of the reason.
I put in another one and the connection problems are gone. but now they appear in the phone in which I put the old SIM ^^
so maybe (hopefully) it is just the SIM which I am going to change tomorrow in a shop.
hey guys, sorry to be trouble but frankly im just fed up, tried and searched everywhere, i have dhd with ARHD latest installed just the basic new rom by mike, lately ive been experiencing my phone rebooting everytime the apps load from the sd card, it just continuously reboots, i take sd card out and its all fine, tried many other cards and have the same issue, so somewhere someone said its because theres alot of apps on the sd card and the firmware or htc cant handle it so it shuts the phone down by doing a reboot, i currently have 123 apps on my sd card in the android secure folder with a total size of 1.41gb...i have about 60 apps on the desire hd internal storage, i have a 32 gb card, plenty of space in the card itself, heres the wierd bit, i delete a few apps from the android secure folder and the phone starts loading the apps perfectly and doesnt go into a reboot, however the problem comes back if i download new apps, please has anyone got an idea whats going on, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, then also it would randomly start saying sd ard unexpectedly removed, although thats only happened once so to be dafe i just took that card out and replaced it since i had another 32 gb lying about, i guess the real problem is the reboot....
ohh to make it more frustrating, i reflashed, clear memory, cache and everything before reflashing ARHD again...started with a few apps, lasted about 4 days then downloaded a little more and then woke up one day a week later, tried restarting my phone and there it goes again, constant reboots with sd card, the apps load, screen freezes and waaala reboot...
im desperate...had this phone over a year and now its just acting up when lots of apps are on there...
any help would be appreciated...
So no ideas then anyone lol...
It's a notorious issue with the dhd on gingerbread (revolution). I encountered it recently when sense kept restarting on my phone every five minutes after I moved too many apps to my sd card (even though most were frozen and the sd is class 10). After I made sure I had backups, I uninstalled a lot of apps from the sd card and everything is fine. Either try and uninstall some apps you aren't using or upgrade to icecoldsandwich.
Or the other option is to make a second partition on your sd card (backup first) using ext4 (use minitools), then use the app link2sd.
Link2sd app worked GREAT for me!
I can confirm this. If you put too many apps on SD card, it just reboots. Drove me crazy while I used stock ROM.
Here's some super duper tricks guys....Enjoy!!!

Hey,there's a cool way to get it going even if there are ton's of apps in SDcard.try this simple trick(Works for me with 735 apps on a 32GBcard) :
1.Power off the phone by holding the power button for some time if the phone keep rebooting without any stop.
2.Keep it cool for 3-4 mins.
3.Power it on again.
4.Then when the launcher starts,goto 'settings' fast.
5.Then quickly goto the storage>Unmount SD card.
6.Then after the USB storage scanning is finished and all apps in phone memory are granted their requested permissions(just for rooted device),mount the SD card...
7.This time the reboot won't occur until you power it off and power it on again...
HAPPY TWEAKING!!!
Here's another trick too... :
1.Power off the phone by holding the power button for some time if the phone keep rebooting without any stop.
2.Keep it cool for 3-4 mins.
3.Power it on again.
4.This time,just after the launcher start,plug in the USB cable and connect it to the computer in MTP mode.
5.When the SD card scanning just stops,plug the usb cable out(this'll give you a max of 1min to do it).
6.A second wave of Media Scanning occurs.
7.but this time,it won't even dare to touch your phone...
"Nothing is Impossible" :victory:
The final trick(Trick 3):
1..Power off the phone by holding the power button for some time if the phone keep rebooting without any stop.
2.Take the SD card out.
3.Power it on again.
4.After booting and media scanning finished,put the SD card back in.
5.mount it in settings>storage>mount SD card.
6.Wait till the media scanning ends.
7.Now you're ready to go....
"Never Give UP on Anything" :highfive:
hey guys,just don't let the tech rule you.Rule the tech.these are just basics...Anyone who got to play with a smartphone for a long time can figure it out....Just tweak your brain!!!! Anyway Cheers bye now.... Hit thanks if I helped you.... :victory:
Hello,
Since today, my phone isn't recognising the internal SD card anymore (It was set up as an internal SD card) and it wouldn't stop rebooting itself until it had no battery anymore.
Is it a common software problem?
I'm using my phone for only a week..
Thank you!
Oh damn, same here! Mine keeps rebooting every 10 seconds, except it does recognise the sd, but not much use from it when you can't use it...
Edit: It's clearly not a common problem as I haven't seen any threads addressing this specific behaviour, I can suggest flashing stock firmware, in all honesty my case is probably worse as whatever rom or stock I flash it always reboots.
Had phone for a few days before rooting and my sim card worked flawlessly. I rooted and a about half and hour - an hour later, all of a sudden my sim card stopped working, as in, the phone didn't detect that there was anything in the sim slot, at all. I tried rebooting and then it worked again for a bit. But then I noticed that it stopped working, again. This time the problem wasn't fixed after rebooting, I tried shutting it down, moving it to the secondary sim card slot, etc ,etc. But the problem managed to fix itself after I shut the phone down completely, removed the sim card, put it in my old phone, put it back into the g30 and start up again. Not sure if taking those specific steps caused my sim card to start working again but as I'm writing this now my sim card is working properly (4G, Volte, etc) but I am pretty sure its going to fail again. I'm not sure if this is because of root or just a coincidence but if it happens again ill unroot and see what happens. Weird glitch. I had Viper4android and magiskhide props config installed. but I doubt that's the purpose because after disabling both of them and restarting my phone still didn't detect a sim card.
Any suggestions??
EDIT: I am now monitoring my device with log cat to see what happens specifically if/when my sim card messes up again.
EDIT 2: been almost 4 days now and haven't had a problem since. Probably just a one time bug in the phone, no issues.
I've pretty much have had root on my G30 since i got and never had any issues with the SIM card. That's an odd issue.
Same here. Getting Magisk in the ramdisk was the second thing I did to this phone and the SIM is fine.
