[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.
regards
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] Camera Issue

Hello!
Maybe someone can help...
After a while my flashlight stopped working at all, so i think that it's broken... but two days ago camera just went blank, and on sense roms the screen is black when I turn the camera on, and with AOSP roms it says something like camera.android error... so I don't know if it's also broken or just some type of driver error... I tried it with few ROM's but still nothing.
Does anybody knows how to determine if it's really broken or something else...
------------------------------
Bravo PVT4 AMOLED S-Off, HBOOT 6.93.1002., Oxygen r2, ROM:SGBS 1.8 Ox r2, Amon Ra recovery, SD card: ADATA class 10 1,5 gb EXT4

If it fails with multiple roms then I'd say it is pretty clear sign what it means. Try flashing stock 2.2 to be certain. If it still fails you're in for a warranty claim.

Just to update issue...
After month or two I discovered that camera WORKS but I had to give it an old-fashioned kick at the backside wich means that it maybe an poor contact somewhere inside, and after some time even stranger thing had happened. FLASHLIGHT which was dead, I mean dead on whatever rom I tried, suddenly started to work again.
Very strange.
Just for an information, while camera reports error, system somehow gets crazy and reboots phone constantly, Also you can't flash any rom due to constant bootloops at the end of installation.
But now after long time, everything works for me.

[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
HBOOT 0.93

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.

[Q] Crash(?)-loop

Good evening fellow androiders,
during my daily use my HTC Desire (GSM) using a MIUI Gingerbread ROM suddenly, after months without problems, started acting weird.
The battery was drained, and when I plugged it in at home it booted into MIUI just fine and after 5 - 50 seconds it goes black and reboots. It now always does that and is therefore unusable.
Tried wiping and flashing a new ROM, tried booting without sd, sim, etc. always the same problem.
Infos:
S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
Radio-5.11.05.27
unbranded
rooted and running just fine since Aug, 2010
Please help me, my best regards to you

Try switching to stock sense ROM and see if you notice a difference. Read up on logcat, make logs and report. None can advise with guesswork.

LeeDroid HD V3.3.3 reboots on WiFi/3G/GPS

Hi there,
I'm coming here, because I cannot find the answer to my questions, and you guys can always help
I'm using custom ROM on my Desire, LeeDroid HD V3.3.3 GB R5. Everything is superb, except one little thing. Whenever I switch on WiFi, 3G or GPS it reboots after a while. And it always goes into bootloop, so I have to take the battery out. It only happens when phone is working hard - it's getting hot, that's what i've noticed too. I thought it might be the temperature, so i downclocked the CPU to 900 MHz, but it didn't worked either.
Kernel ver: 2.6.35.10 -g3f43272
If u need any other info, just write it down here.
Any ideas how can i work it out? I don't wanna change ROM, but i need GPS sometimes (that's when it reboots most often...)

newly installed ROM
I've reinstalled ROM. Now it only reboots in gps nav. Any clues? Btw. when revolting, it does not go in to bootloop.

did you try another radio (what about radio recommended by lee)?

That one i use is the latest i guess...

Im having exactly the same problems, though currently my Desire is still running it's original unrooted Froyo OS.
Whenever the phone puts any load on 3G, GPS or the cpu it shuts down and gets stuck in a reboot loop.

If it's not rooted, send it to HTC. (ofc if u still have warranty).
