[Q] Multiple Reboots - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I was playing a game on my phone, all of a sudden, starts rebooting, then again, then again...After about four times, I had enough. Went into recovery, wiped all user data, cache, and davlik. Rebooted from there. Phone turned on, then started doing the same thing. At that point I tried a nandroid I made a couple days ago, but it still kept rebooting. Tried reflashing Synergy, of course I wiped everything again, but kept rebooting. Finally I ran a PC36IMG of the stock rom that I kept when I first rooted my Evo. Seems to have worked out because I'm not rebooting anymore. Now for my question, Can somebody explain what may have caused that to happen? I've been running Synergy for about two months and have had no problems. I generally don't overclock, but underclock when screen is off, and other big battery drainers. I was also running Freedom .9
Oh yeah, almost forgot. I've been lurking around your site for months and many of you have helped me out and don't even know it. So...THANK YOU!

Ok. Well I apparently do need help. Was able to run the 4.54 stock OTA rooted. Then tried Synergy, then MikG. Both are restarting non stop. I'm about to throw this thing through the window, go to Sprint, and get a cheapo phone.

Freezing 2 minutes after boot

so my phone keeps freezing 2 minutes after it boots up. It started while I was trying to delete some texts off handcent, the whole phone just froze. I had to pull the battery and then when i booted the phone back up, it was acting super laggy and froze a minute or two after boot up. So I have to pull the battery again and it just keeps doing this. Havent installed any new apps or anything. I stopped a few programs from starting up with autostarts but they werent critical programs. anyone have any ideas?
Need some more info.
ROM, kernel, radio, what's your setup?
all stock, rooted with s-off.
I ended up doing a factory reset because I used to use launcherpro and after one of the numerous resets the phone went back to sense home and everything was gone.
Im still curious as to what i could have been...

Crazy and extremely anooying reboots

I have a dinc running skyraider 3.3final and each time i reboot, i get the setup when i unlock
i tried skyraider, virtuous, and cyanogenmod and they all took me to setup after reboot and uninstalled all apps
~~~~please help~~~~
this happens even when you don't wipe?
I haven't tried not wiping
but everytime i do a full install and wipe everything, i still get the problem when i reboot. I've been going all day and everything has been working fine, i just don't want to reboot because i won't have anything
any suggestions
I had this happen to me also not too long ago, never tracked down what was causing it. No matter what ROM i flashed, or nandroid restored, I would end up with the setup screen and a multitude of FC's.
I ended up just returning to stock with the official RUU, and re-rooting. Haven't had an issue since. Make sure you back EVERYTHING up though.

Nexus reboots on its own constantly on multiple roms

Ok, I'm at a total loss. For some reason my gnex running liquidsmooth started rebooting randomly today. I tried wiping cache/dalvik and that didn't work, so I did a factory reset. That also didn't help, as soon I was asked to choose a wifi network the phone froze and rebooted. So I tried restoring to a previous working version of liquid. I still had the same problem. It rebooted every 5 minutes! Then, I tried wiping everything and installing a fresh copy of liquid,but I still couldn't get past choosing my wifi network w/o a reboot. So I finally tried restoring to a really old aokp backup and it STILL is rebooting. what the heck is going on? Can anybody give me any help? Is this a hardware issue? I've also tried two different batteries by the way.
Some more info. It seems to be tied to notifications. I got it running on the AOKP rom on airplane mod, but when i received a text from my wife it rebooted 3 times. I only got it to stop by putting it back into airplane mod. Could it be a radio issue? I'll try flashing some.
why dont you flash back to stock and see if that works fine. that will tell you everything.

Good point. I'll probably try flashing muzzy's rom really quick, since it's supposed to be so stable to see if that does the trick. If not I'll try going back to stock. I've never had to go back to stock with this phone, so I wouldn't mind avoiding it if I can, but anything is worth a shot at this point.
I really just need to nurse it along until the VZW one or Moto X come out. I'm holding out for those at this point.
I wouldn't recommend flashing another custom ROM. You should flash the factory images.

N7100 keeps freezing

I've recently started having trouble with my N7100 freezing/locking up.
I bought it shortly after launch, so it's a little over 1 1/2 years old. I had flashed one of the first rooted 4.1.2 firmware that was available, and never bothered updating because it was stable and got great battery life and I didn't feel like dealing with ROM stuff. But recently with the official 4.4.2, I decided to finally update, and decided on trying out DN3. So I flashed the latest TWRP, did the usual backing every thing up, flashed the MJ5 bootloader, and flashed it. It kept bootlooping, so I figured something went wrong, so I restored my 4.1.2 backup. This was where the freezing began. It was to the point where I couldn't use it. Tried rebooting a few times, but every time it would freeze as soon as it booted or shortly after. I assumed something just went wrong with the backup, so I tried flashing DN3 again. This time it booted successfully, but would occasionally freeze, most often when loading an app, but sometimes just randomly. After a couple days it seemed to subside. Then I decided to try out OmniRom. Same thing -- it would occasionally freeze up, then after a while would be fine. (Note: these were both clean installs.) Seems like every time I'd flash an updated version of Omni, the freezing issue would flare back up. Just now, I flashed the latest homemade build, and the freezing was really bad again, to the point where I can't even use it. Sometimes it'll freeze the instant it finishes booting, sometimes it'll freeze a few seconds after, sometimes it'll finish booting and will be fine until I load an app, then would freeze, and sometimes it would be fine for a couple minutes and the just freeze randomly. What's odd about it is that the screen is still responding to touch. Every thing's locked up, but when I touch the screen, the capacitive buttons light up as though it's still working fine, but nothing else works. I've even had a couple times where I let it sit for about 10 minutes and then it started responding again.
What's really frustrating is that I can't find a common cause here.Started on 4.1.2 (which had never had any issues beforehand), continues on a clean install of DN3, and continues on a clean install of OmniRom. Disabling Xposed and removing my SD card had no effect. It boots fine into recovery and download modes.
Does anyone know what the issue could be here?
EDIT: And now I've done a complete wipe, again, and reflashed DN3, again, and it appears to be working fine. Go figure.
It's not suddenly death?

Installing ROM kills data?

Hello, all. Long time Android user here, no stranger to rooting, ROMing, all that good stuff. I ran into sort of a weird issue that just started to happen quite consistently over the past few days. It all started when I tried to flash the new XtraSmooth Factory Image ROM when it went up. Everything went smooth, except, for some reason, it kills my data connection. FYI, I'm on Sprint, but I don't think that has anything to do with the issue. But it gets weirder. Even if I try to flash a different ROM, a ROM where I had data working before, data is still mucked. No connection whatsoever. If I try to restore a nandroid backup, even weirder things happen. Like for instance, the restoration process stopping at 20-25% and automatically rebooting back into Android (Which just happened an hour ago), or the backup going into a bootloop. Only solution to these problems are going back to stock and re-rooting everything all over again. It's really weird. Am I alone with this issue? Thanks for any help.
Yes your alone sadly. Restore to stock and root again/unlock bootloader, etc
