Random Reboot/Reset

I'm beginning to notice a problem with my EVO of lately, Sometimes when I wake up the phone and then unlock for the lock screen it just reboots itself. I thought it was due to a custom ROM but this has happen with all the ROMs I installed on my phone (Fresh, DC & OMJ). This problem started to happen when I updated to the latest firmware from sprint. I had a hell of a problem regaining root until there was a proper method released by the geniuses in our community. I'm not sure what is going on to cause this and would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this and if so how did you resolve it.

Have you tried wiping and flashing the stock rom just to make sure? Also, if it happens consistently, you could try running logcat and see if you can track down the problem.

Actually I did wipe and try a rooted stock ROM but I didn't run stock too long to notice the random reboot problem. I ran logcat but couldn't figure left from right when looking at this thing. I attached my logcat. If you or anyone else on this forum could take a look, I would greatly appreciate it.

Does that logcat include a period where there was a random reboot?

I'm on DC 3.2.3 and with JIT enabled I get the occasional random reboot. Seems to usually happen when I'm typing.

I usually get random reboots in areas with no signal, i remember reading somewhere it was because the battery got too hot... but ever since i loaded an fps "fix" for my phone, i haven't had one, and it's been two weeks

[Q] HELP! My Incredible has frequent crashes and reboots

Can't find an answer to this on google or xda. Didn't know if I should post this in General or Q&A.
I have been using my Incredible since it came out. I quickly learned about rooting, roms, s-off... with no problems. I have been running Skyraider almost from the beginning.
Here is the problem: A few days ago, I noticed on the SR thread that there were updates for the radio and hboot. So, I went ahead and flashed them. Almost immediately I started noticing the screen becoming unresponsive. After a minute or two I did a battery pull, rebooted, and again after a little while, freeze and reboot. I also noticed that even when the phone is awake but screen off, it would wake itself up. The rebooting and freezing makes it impossible to use my phone.
I tried everything I could think of:
Nandroid restore (obviously didn't work since this doesn't effect hboot or radio).
Reinstalled fresh SR Rom wiping everything, including dalvik, and did factory reset.
Finally, I downgraded back to the hboot and radio versions I had before, still no effect. (Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28, hboot .79 ).
I tried installing another ROM (Uncommon sense) to make sure it wasn't a ROM issue, ..same problem.
Please, any help would be much appreciated. I don't know what my next step should be.

do you overclock at all?

No overclocking, I don't use setcpu, and I have been running the stock kernel. But it does feel like overclocking.

I wonder if the timing of events is just coincidence and its a hardware issue. I've had my Inc since June... rooted s -off in july and had no problems until about a month ago. I don't oc I use the new stock kernel but my phone hates change. Even flashing a small mod will cause rebooting.... and navigation always causes it. Phone heats up fast with these particular activities too but sometimes it will reboot at only 35c after a flash. I'm thinking hardware

Thanks,
You may be right.
For now things are working, let's hope they stay that way.

[Q]Have to Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache after every power off

So I am having a really strange problem recently with my phone, was wondering if I should unroot and return it or if it is something I am doing wrong. Basically what it boils down to is if I power my phone off from the menu or pull the battery, etc. upon powering back up it just Hangs on the HTC Evo 4G white splash screen indefinitely. I have let it sit as long as 15 mins without booting before, having seen this before in the past I know not to panic now but I just reboot into Recovery and wipe my cache and dalvik cache every time I reboot and my phone reboots back into sense in no time at all.
I know this is not normal, is there something I can do to troubleshoot this problem or is this is a sign of hardware failure?

I've never seen that before. Interesting. What rom are you currently using? Do you have an unusually large amount of apps installed? The first thing I would do, is make a nandroid backup of your current setup, and then do a full wipe and flash a format all.zip, then reflash a different rom. Or just simply restore a nandroid of a known good setup, and see if the problem persists. If it stops, I'd say it was something specific to the rom/kernel/setup that you were running before. If it continues happening on a clean install of a different rom, then I'd probably unroot, restore to stock, and then see if the problem continues. If it does, take it to Sprint. If it stops, and everything is fine, re root it and start over. That's just what I would do, but I've never been presented with an issue such as that.

I appreciate the advice, I'm running Sprint Lovers right now been running it for a few months now, I don't have an unusual amount of apps installed but I did notice that the problem seemed to start occuring when I changed the Kernel. I will try your advice and see if that fixes the problem. I've been wanting an excuse to try the new Gingersense rom anyways.

If it started happening right after you swapped out the kernel, that could be the culprit. If you want to try the gingersense rom, I'll all for it, and will tell ya that they ran super incredibly smooth for a factory rom. However, if you don't feel like changing roms just yet, maybe try a different kernel. I'd be suspect of that, if the problem started shortly after changing to a different kernel. I say try out a gingersense rom, you shouldn't be disappointed (unless your phone still hangs at the splash screen upon reboot, lol).

[Q] My DHD keeps crashing and rebooting, but only when the screen is locked...

Hello!
For some time now my phone's been rebooting itself completely random it seems. I just got it back after sending it away to get this issue fixed. Obviously the "repair" didn't really do anything at all. All they did was to flash the latest software apparently.
I got quite fed up with the crashing and rebooting stuff, and figured that it wouldn't hurt to try to flash a custom ROM, in this case I chose to root the phone and try MiUi. I had no clue wether it would solve the issue I'm having, but I figured it was worth a try. So i rooted the phone and flashed the latest version of MiUi (1.11.18).
At the start it seemed like it had worked, and had stopped the phone from crashing. But after some time I realized that the issue is still there, only difference now is that it ONLY crashes when I lock the screen with the Power-button. EVERY SINGLE TIME I do this, in a matter of minutes it will either reboot or just turn black and totally unresponsive. Only way to get it on again is to take out the battery and put it back in.
This is starting to annoy the **** out of me, so I talked to my brother for advise this morning, and he told me to wipe my Dalvik Cache. So I did, and nothing changed, the phone keeps on living it's own life.
I have absolutely no clue what info you guys might need to help me with this, but I'll start with this:
Phone: HTC Desire HD
Android-version: 2.3.7
Kernel-version: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g319b6e2
ROM: MiUi 1.11.18
Also, the motherboard's been switched once, cause of another issue that is now gone.
ANY help is appreciated, I just want to be able to use the phone normally!
EDIT: Also it seems that the phone won't reboot or crash whenever it's charging.

Sounds like a hardware/software issue your best bet is getting a replacement and re rooting .

Partial bootloop (3X boot on reboot)

Something new has developed with an otherwise trouble free device!
It started about a week ago. I use Drudge Report app which is buggy (will cause device to stop responding before box "Drudge Report has stopped responding, close/report) and I always close, everything is fine. Well until this last time, it did not close and device locked up before rebooting on its own.
It keeps rebooting so I pull battery. Still in a boot loop!
I boot to recovery, clear cache/Dalvik, still no go.
Download and flash EFS fixer, still stuck!
Finally wiped device, reflashed DarthStalker 6.0, everything seems good.
Restored TiB and rebooted and now the device will get to the unlock screen, then reboot. It will do this 3X before working normally.
No instability at all, just a 3X boot cycle when rebooting.
Tried Compulsion Standard, Ultimate, Sabre, etc. All custom kernels will do this!
The Stock Samsung kernel, however does NOT do this!
Weird isn't it?
I'd prefer to run one of the custom kernels due to better performance and battery life, however.
I don't restart the device that often, however I am concerned that doing this means something is wrong and thus raises concern.
Anyone else have this issue?
I do use TricksterMOD pay version and checked to make sure it was not applying some defunct settings at boot and it was not. Not sure why only the stock kernel does not result in what I'm calling the "triple pump boot" though!

You probably fried something man. Or who knows these phones are soo sensitive dude. All I do is mess with some tweaks with wanam and it causes my phone to bootloop 1x then reboot like nothing. Pin pointing what causes it.

Look for the thread that has the zip called bootloop fix. it worked for me. i was sweating bullets.
