So I've had my EVO since launch and it's been properly rooted and running various ROMs for over a month. Suddenly I've been having incredibly frustrating random reboot issues. It seemed to all start when it randomly began rebooting during navigation (other GPS apps seemed ok). So it got stuck in a boot loop and I wiped everything and installed the latest nightly of CM6 (this was probably around 8/2). That seemed to fix it.
Until now. For the past few days the phone has been rebooting randomly. Once it reboots randomly once or twice it gets worse - the phone will reboot before I reach my home screen over and over again (sometimes I can get to set-up, sometimes not); it's rendered the phone unusable. I've wiped countless times (even my SD card) and have tried various ROMs, including the modified official Froyo ROMs from HTC. I've even tried using a different SD card - still the issue persists.
I just don't know what they hell is going on here. Can anyone shed any light on this? It's a major pain in the ass and is really starting to make me loathe this phone.
UPDATE:
The problem persisted, so I broke down and un-rooted my phone and did the official updates - the problem arose again in about 4 hours. I took it to my local repair center, they basically just wiped it and installed the updates and told me to come back if I had any issues - I used navigation to get home, and it started rebooting on my way home. So I'm currently waiting for a replacement from Sprint (goddamned things are backordered, they said 5 days or so), they really had no idea what was causing the issue at the repair center. So I'm guessing there's an actual hardware issue here that's directly conflicting with the software? It definitely seems to be happening to a decent number of people, just Google "EVO randomly rebooting" to see what I mean.
I feel your pain. Mine started doing the same thing about a week ago. I wiped, wiped and wiped, installed new ROM's, ran without the SD card, tried different recovery consoles, all to no avail.
My last resort was to try to RUU back to the Sprint 2.2 (non-rooted), but it didn't help. I have tried different 3G drivers, different 4G drivers, etc. I have run the phone with only wifi on, only 3g on, only 4g on and it doesn't matter.
I even connected it to my laptop and ran the "adb logcat" command from the shell to try to see a common error or log just before it would reboot. I caught four instances last night, but nothing in the logs to indicate a common problem.
I am thinking about taking it into a Sprint store tomorrow to see if they can do a wipe and clean install out of desperation.
Mine too it was a 0002 Novatek and i think it's mid-term defect with early versions...claim your insurance is all i can say. That's what i did and got a 0003 that works good so far...maybe the CPU is overheating and rebooting?? IDK i couldn't use mine either..its seems to work best on CM but still reboots...got rid of it....hardware problem....If they HAD to make 0003 then something was obviously wrong with hardware version 0002.....INSURANCE!!!!

theunlockr.com/2010/06/14/how-to-unroot-the-htc-evo/
revert it back to 1.47 then re-root with simpleroot or unrevoked and start over? i just used it and rerooted my phone in hopes of fixing an error that wont let me flash any roms, it didnt fix the error. but maybe it will help with ur rebooting issue
My guess is the kernal your using is too undervolted for your phone, and when it kicks into high gear, for example when it fires up say bluetooth gps and data, it reboots because it didnt have enough juice at that given time.
everyone phone reacts to different kernals differently, try one with more voltage <worse battery life>
I am running this kernel. Isn't it the stock kernel?

I took my phone to a Sprint store and showed them what it is doing. The manager at the store said that is the reason he hasn't upgraded his EVO to 2.2 yet. He agreed to order me a replacement, even though I don't carry insurance on my phone. I am happy to be gettting a new one, the problem is that it may take a few weeks since they are backordered everywhere.
Cool...so was the manager implying its caused by 2.2?

Insurance?! Its under factory warranty. Wipe off all the rooted stuff and make them replace it for free.
I have been running froyo for a couple of weeks, and I haven't had this problem. I use navigation, pandora, and BT. Running DC 3.5

it's definitely not the kernel.
I've been having the same reboot problems. I think its a hardware issue with froyo because the root cause of my restart issue is that the battery is running hot. Most evo's will power cycle when the battery hits ~100f, so anything data intensive causes it to overheat.
I took it into my local sprint store and demonstrated that it would power cycle from normal use and I'm now going to get the first evo in their door.
PS. I'm also on the 002 model.
Although I have been doing a lot of reading the last few months, I am new to posting, so please bear with. My DINC just started randomly rebooting about 2 weeks ago and I am trying to figure out why. It was running great before with (rooted) Skyraider 3.0 RC3 Vanilla, kings BFS#5, S-Off, 2.15 radio and HBoot .79. The problems began when I installed Juice Defender, didn't really like it, and then un-installed it. I did not disable anything JD did before un-installing. Now, with the same set-up as before, I get random reboots when I'm on Explorer for a few minutes, when GPS Navigation is on, and then randomly on GChat and the Market. It seems to happen more when the temp is higher, but it's rarely over 100 degrees F. Half of the reboots end up in QualComm debug mode. I have tried a full wipe and reinstalling the ROM, kernel and prior settings. The only thing I can think of is that Juice Defender changed some type of setting, application or system, and now it's having fits. I downloaded aLogCat and had it running during the last reboot and can PM the .txt file if you think that would help. Does anyone know what's going on or how I can fix it? Any help is great appreciated!
Also, the current applications that I have are:

Are you overclocking? Some phones can't handle much and it's known to cause similar problems. Other than that I'm not sure if anything JD changes would remain once it's un-installed; but if so you might install it again, change everything back to stock, then un-install it. Just a guess, hope you get it figured out
I'm pretty sure the DINC has rebooting problems.
What version do you have, SLCD or LED?
I've had the LED version since it's released and I just started getting random reboots last month or so. Sometimes it goes into fits and just reboots nonstop for a couple hours. I've reverted it back to completely stock (unrooted, S-ON, stock recovery, stock 2.2 ROM) and I still have the same problem. Using stock battery as well. I've always cleared cache, factory reset, clear data, etc. I've done everything I can think of, but I think this phone just has problems that some people encounter even when completely stock (and even people who have never modified their phone at all if you do some searches on google).
It may have to do with the heat, I'm going to keep doing some testing. It seems like it goes into reboot fits when it gets hot or when I'm doing a lot of processing like using GPS and maps. It rarely reboots when it's idle.

Same here. Exchanged it with Verizon, almost no questions asked. Got AMOLED refurb, so far so good. Replacement was with OTA installed though, so waiting for new root.
You should revert your phone to fully stock, turn S-ON, unroot, stock ROM, etc. Make it look as legit as possible. If your problems go away then obviously something got screwed up in the flashing process. If your problems remain, then it's something wrong with the actual phone, and since you just made it completely stock you're in the perfect shoes to go exchange it.
In summary, the best measure to take if you're having reboot problems is to exchange it at a Verizon store; that's what most people are doing.
I'm going to exchange mine tomorrow. It should be covered under the 1 year warranty so you should not need insurance to do it.
Just an update: I am still having random reboots after uninstalling Advanced Task Manager and Widget Locker (read in posts these can cause problems). Now even when I use Amazon reader, the phone reboots rather quickly. One thing to note is that when I turn off 3G, it hasn't rebooted. This was one of my thoughts to begin with since approximately all of the reboots occurred when I was using 3G (browser, market, GChat and Nav). Does this narrow down any problems?
Next, I am going to install the new Skyraider 3.0 (ihtfp69 said it should be out first week of Dec.) and install apps one-by-one to see if the rebooting continues. Then I guess I will have to go s-off, unroot, etc. Crossing my fingers...
Sounds to me that you have the faulty overheating 3G radio..it is a somewhat documented problem and I believe it's the same problem I have. The only solution is to swap it at a verizon store. I'm afraid other ROMs or anything else you do will not solve the problem.

Odds are your radio is failing, which is a relatively common problem. Your symptoms are pretty much a textbook example and something that I experienced firsthand on my previous Incredible. The only fix is a warranty exchange.
That's disappointing. Thanks for the info everyone. I guess it's time to start the process of unrooting...
I thought I would post my situation/solution here, although it may not have any bearing on the issues that previous posters have mentioned. I got myself a Seidio 3500mAh Extended Life Battery several months ago. The first month was good. The next 1-2 months seemed to bring decreased battery performance - I was just about making it through a day with moderately-heavy use, but this battery should be able to handle that with no problem.
Over the last month I started having random reboots and it was getting more frequent. I don't know why but I just had this feeling that the battery was coming a bit loose and losing contact occasionally, although I couldn't force a reboot by shaking it.
Just a few days ago I decided to put a few layers of paperboard (i.e., box of tissues) between the battery and the case, just to see what happened. I haven't had any random reboots since I did that and the battery life seems markedly improved.
Again, this may not be relevant for some but I thought I would post my experience in case it helps anyone.

Interesting. I'm using the big batt too, but my only reboots happen with GPS. As I'm driving (unfortunately) with my Nav on, all of a sudden, I look to see what my next turn is, and I'm on the "HTC Incredible" splash screen! Most annoying thing ever.
I'm still waiting for a fix. I really don't want to unroot, lose everything, and have to exchange for a warranty phone.
By the way, with a fix like this, I feel like my blackberry days again!
It started when I first installed leedroid 2.3d after rooting my fone, then with CM7 RC1, Modaco Fr11 (default options, with MoDaCo additions), CM7 RC2 and StarBurst Lite. I faced the same issue while using Google Maps (data & GPS on). It keeps rebooting. Sometimes it would reboot within a minute or so after starting Google Maps. Sometimes it would take 5 minutes. Not sure what the issue is, but I have a feeling this may not have anything to do with Google Maps or GPS. Cos couple of times the fone rebooted while playing some games with an active wifi connection. But the problem occurs 100% with Google Maps.
I never faced this issue before rooting the fone or even after rooting. The problem only started after flashing the first ROM. After that I have even tried restoring the previous backup for stock ROM, but even that started giving this issue.
Here are the details about my fone:
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.14.05.17
8 GB micro sd card with 512 MB ext partition. I guess its class 4.
Another thing to note is that when I try use a memory card reader to read it on my windows 7 PC, it just wont show up. The same thing happens if I try to use gParted boot CD to read the card. However android seems to read it perfectly fine. I am even able to mount the card from fone using USB storage option.
Is this memory card the issue?
I forgot to mention that I was using apps2sd+ in some form or another for all ROMS except StarDust Lite which was using Data2SD script.
Have you tried running the application when it is stored entirely on the phone (not part or whole to SD)?
Reboots and Bootloops have been present in the latest ROMs. The latest Oxygen ROM has applied the Google update to apparently fix these. It's there to try in the ROM section for you 2.0.2.
Dude,
You're not gonna like what I'm gonna say, but your symptoms match those of mine. Check out the thread I created here.
Now, adding to that, the rebooting started again but this time when using Wifi for a long period, playing games and using mobile data.
What I'd do is try rule out Google Maps. Try use Navigon or iGo.
Two things I learned was that changing ROM's won't help. Neither will changing radio's.
Of course it could just be Brandall mentions.

I haven't tried running an application purely from the internal memory. However when I restored my stock HTC Desire Froyo backup, the issue still existed. That didnt have any script for apps2sd+ so Google Maps was running purely from the internal memory. Anyways, I will try the Oxygen ROM later today evening and see if that fixes it. I have also ordered for a class 10 16 GB micro sd card. Lets see if that helps.

I have already ruled Google Maps out since I was able to re-produce the issue even with other navigation softwares like Sygic Mobile Maps & NDrive. I am even able to re-produce the issue without turning on GPS or using any navigation app. Just an active wifi and playing games will also reboot the phone randomly.
One thing I noticed today morning was that when the phone rebooted, the back of the phone was very hot. On removing the cover I noticed that the area below the SIM card gets hot. Is there where the processor chip is? Is it possible that may be somehow the CPU was over clocked by certain ROM which I have flashed before? Is there a way by which I can check this under current ROM (Stardust)?

I would suggest that first you monitor your CPU usage and battery temperature with SetCPU - it can be downloaded for free here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419 (worth a donate though!)
You can set up a profile to monitor your battery temperature and sound an alarm if it's getting too hot. Running this whist testing your GPS may well diagnose the problem. You can also ensure that you are not somehow already overclocking (which I think is very unlikely).
If this is new to you, make sure you have a good read of the instructions so you don't blow your phone up!
Assuming overheating is the issue, then hopefully you are under warranty and you can return to stock and send the phone back.
For further diagnosis on CPU Usage, battery temperature levels and discovering apps that are taking up resource, I would suggest SystemPanel from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1 - it's pretty damn sh*t hot and has a monitoring service for diagnosis. I'm not sure if that's available on the free version though, but if you try it, you'll want to buy it anyway...
Let us know how you get on. Good luck!
I'm gonna be blunt, I've been through this.
You are wasting your time dude. If your phone is still under warrantee, flash an original RUU and take it back to get repaired.
Its a hardware problem.

brandall, I have now tried it all now but nothing stops the random reboots. I guess I will have to get it replaced while its still under warranty. Lately the phone reboots even without getting hot. Plus, it reboots even without having any active wifi or data connection. Just playing Angry Birds Rio or Angry Birds Seasons for a while will reboot the phone. The only time it doesn't reboot is if use the phone for listening to music or while taking calls or messages. Other than that, it will randomly reboot on using any "smart" application. Even the browser...its damn frustrating. Thanks brandall.

Thanks mr_norris, I guess I will have to get it repaired or replaced. Thats all that is left...
Hey guys, so lately I've been having this really annoying problem where my Evo won't stop rebooting at random times. It usually happens when:
I'm using an app with data or a game
Right after a reboot I unlock my phone and wait 3 seconds and it reboots again
I noticed that the phone does get hot, but i only left it in my car once so this isn't always the case, although this has started recently maybe it is the heat who knows?
Some of the causes i've eliminated are the rom (thought it was just CM7 but it also happens on Fresh), the kernel (tried stock and savaged zen), and the battery (my primary is an EXTENDED BATTERY I BOUGHT ON AMAZON, thought that this was the problem but the reboots happen on the stock battery as well).
I guess this can come only come down to the hardware, which i guess makes sense because I don't think data transfer through usb is working for me anymore either, or it works sporadically. The phone charges fine on the wall, but when i put it into my laptop every usb port caused my Evo to keep unmounting the sd card. <--- I think the usb port is broken or loose because moving the cable seems to get my Evo to transfer data to my laptop for a short while.
If anyone can help me or have the same problems and have a solution that'd be great because I;m really close to unrooting and going to a sprint store if this keeps up
I wrote a response to someone else who had this question. I should have copied it so I can repost it for people.
What I know is this. I have had 3 different evos and they have all done this. It might be a battery problem, but more likely it has to do with low memory/ram.
If I play a game, watch youtube videos, surf the web, or just about anything somewhat intensive, my phone reboots.
I have tried many times, and things, to figure out what has caused this and the only consistent is that I am low on ram.
I use the application Tasker, and it notifies me when I'm getting low on "memory" it then tells me to go to Menu - Settings - Applications - Running Services. from there you can see what is eating up your ram and quit it, or delete it. I have deleted some of the programs and my phone still reboots, but not as often.
If you have widgets running that seems to add to the problem.
The phone reboots to gain back the system ram it needs to work properly.
If I'm wrong, will someone PLEASE correct me and tell what is actually going on.
This is what I have found. Someone else may have a different idea of what may be going on, but this makes more sense than anything else I've heard or read.

Guys I've been having random reboot issues lately and i can't figured out what is actually happening. Sometimes it just reboots itself, randomly every time.
I thought flash another rom or kernel would solve the issue but it doesn't seems to work, any ideas?
I'm currently on DFR3.0.5 rom and DF kernel.
Are you overclocking and/or undervolting?
not really, i only overclock when i play certain games, otherwise i'll set it back to normal.
Is this question sounds stupid? It seems that nobody else would bother to reply it?
i have it some times like every 6weeks believe it or not its currently on stock, but that's made no difference had it happen on custom Rom's also and its allways at about 5 am just sitting there rebooting over and over. not sure if that's what you are getting?
it just sometimes rebooting itself, so i have no idea how and why
Try reflashing back to stock and don't change ANYTHING. Install your programs or whatever, but don't root it or any major system changes.
Use it for a while and see if it reboots. If it doesn't, you did something to it, overclocking/volting, and you need to figure it out.
If it keeps doing it, I hope it's under warrenty. But it also could be the battery.
Hardware isse
I have had 2 XP's and both returned as they randomly rebooted. When I called Dial-a-Phone(UK) to enquire they put me through to their support department. I had to do a factory reset, then install an update from Sony's website and try it out. Still did not work so they said it is a hardware issue. Fortunately I returned mine withing 28 days so got an instant replacement. Pity the second one did the same. I have returned that too and am awaiting my 3rd phone(what can I say, I love the phone). If this one does the same thing I will be moving though cannot be without a reliable phone at the moment(expecting baby) I hope you are covered by the warranty. Good luck.
Annoying as f*** I know mine are fairly rare they were more often when I was all stock two things that reduce it are an apkiller and everyday reboot

I reflashed my df rom and never overclock it.....(since i didn't play asphalt nowadays)....it seems like the probs has been fixed, or maybe not happening yet
Mines been rebooting randomly for the last three days now. In fact it just rebooted while I as reading this.
Sometimes tends to happen when I slide in or out the keyboard. It's breaking my heart as I love this phone :-(

If you have tried to repair the phone software via PC Companion and not installed any third party app's and it still reboots it needs to be checked at a repair center.
Contact your local support team for info about repair centers.

I have had the same problem, but my phone is only rebooting during games(especially HD games). Almost everytime I play Shadow Guardian HD, Backstab HD, or NBA Jam. I never have problems with FPSE and psx games. I am using DOOMkernel v. 11 and I OverClock to 1.14 or 1.21 max and 249 min when I am ready to start up my games. I am also using supercharger V.6 on 512 hp. Should I be overclocking at a higher voltage to stop reboots?
I started getting random reboots under .62. And hooking it up to logcat I was getting ANR errors from a ton of background 3rd party apps.
I think my issue was related to moving from Link2SD to App2SD. I forced all my apps to .android_secure and I think there was one app that didn't play nice. Anyhoo, restored back to .42 and my sd-ext and it works like it did.
3rd one going nuts!!!
An update to my previous posts. Received my third one late last week and have been really using it to make sure it does not randomly reboot. No problem there I am happy to say. The problem I had a day or so ago, is that when I was typing a text message fast, my screen went bonkers and started typing by itself. It then opened my phone app and selected a contact to call, it then opened and closed some apps and closed them. I pressed the home screen but nothing, so powered down and booted it up again. It just carried on going crazy so powered down again and took the battery out, the sim card and also the SD card too. This seems to have "fixed" it for now as I have not been able to replicate the problem. Anyone else had this issue?
FYI - I have been playing Asphalt 6 HD with absolutely no problems at all, as well as a couple of other games.
I think i just had a reboot yesterday night by itself...the reason i know it is the application will kinda er....reset it's position in drawers, some apps shortcuts disappears from my home and so on.....
just when i thought my problem has solved.........
I think it was batter

Try reflashing back to stock and don't change ANYTHING. Install your programs or whatever, but don't root it or any major system changes.
Use it for a while and see if it reboots. If it doesn't, you did something to it, overclocking/volting, and you need to figure it out.
If it keeps doing it, I hope it's under warrenty. But it also could be the battery.

I also got this problem after changing with china battery. But when using an original battery it was ok. I buy extra for gaming. But now my original battery already missing. Hadoii...
To determine if your phone rebooted overnight, you can install "Android Terminal Emulator" from the Play Store and run the command "uptime", it tells you how much time has passed since the last boot
Or find an app that tells you that...

Guys I've been having random reboot issues lately and i can't figured out what is actually happening. Sometimes it just reboots itself, randomly every time.
I thought flash another rom or kernel would solve the issue but it doesn't seems to work, any ideas?
I'm currently on DFR3.0.5 rom and DF kernel.
