phone restarts itself but I dont know why?

I use MCR r5 2.2. it works well. but when I turn on EDGE/3G, my phone reboot alltime. if I turn off EDGE/3G, it stops booting loop(tried 2 3 times to turn off edge/3g).
I tried another ROM 2.2, another Radio, but there's nothing changes, phone reboot itself. even more seriously,sometimes when I go to recovery mode, it still reboot itself here and freezing. I must pull out battery and try again.
information about my desire( rooted/ no lock fone):
baseband: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
kernel 2.6.32.15-g1fc4045
[email protected]#1
build number 2.06.832.1 cl207528 test-keys
MCR r5
when I flash new ROM: I wipe system/Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik( I dont know I wipe Dalvik correctly or not, because I can not see any information about successfully wipe Dalvik ), format ext, flash new ROM, new radio. is it correct?
i have tried radio 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04, 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.
any advice for me? sorry my bad English

any help for me . should I try up kernel? My phone is still rebooting now

( Im so confused... I have tried to up ROM again and now it is freezing at HTC screen... what can I do now (.

Can't help you with a direct solution, but I do know that it's not needed to flash the radio every time you flash a ROM.
To end the bootloop I suggest you try it without the ext partition.

thanks for your advice... . i format my sd card with full FAT32( delete Ext2) and the phone boots again( now I use MCR 3.1 radio 4.06.00.02_2, not use froyo ). It went to home screen and looks fine. but sometime it reboots itself. I pulled out sd card and SIM but it still reboot sometimes.
sometimes loop booting, the phone vibrates 7 times quickly at HTC screen after that, it freezes. I must pull out the battery

any advice for me?
anybody see the phone go to recovery mode, but sometimes it reboot itself quickly 7 times( vibrate 7 times in 1 2 seconds) and freeze...
I see an "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" in recovery mode when I press + button? what is it?

put your microSD card into a PC using an adapter and run a chkdsk on it
start -> run or start -> search (on vista/7)
type in: CMD and press enter
then type in: CHKDSK X: /f /v /r (where X is the current drive letter assigned to your microSD)
If you're literate enough in linux, and you have an ext2/3 partition, you can also run e2fsck on that partition
from your favourite shell:
e2fsck /dev/sdX2 ( where X is the current device letter assigned )

Are you still able to get to the recovery and stay in the recovery? If so, in recovery go to the option format. Format youre sdcard, swap=0, ext2=512, remainder is fat32. Then upgrade the ext2==>ext3.
Go back to the mainscreen in the recovery and press usb-toggle. Then copy the rom from youre pc to youre sdcard. If done press trackball to disable usb-toggle.
It also might be that youre sdcard is corrupt as poster above me wrote
Then flash the rom and see what happens.

I am having the same issue. All new radio (for 2.2 froyo) will cause random reboot during 3G usage.
The easiest way to reproduce the problem is to keep browsing google map for a few minutes using 3G connection.
Flashing froyo custom rom with old radio (4.06.00.02) does not have this issue, but losing camcorder features...
Anyone idea for this?

sounds similar to my problem (for which i have a partial solution):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7533671&postcount=220
Maybe one of the radio images updated something which shouldn't be updated?
I think this is a general software problem which is pushing the hardware to its limits however people seem to think it is purely a hardware issue.

I had the same issue. After trying everything to fix the problem fully bricked my phone to where it wouldn't even start. I personally its all hardw are.. got my phone replaced and now works fine... I spoke to my carrier and they did say some of the desires just have issues
If possible replace the device , if not I hope u guys eventually sort it out

thank all for your attention.
I flashed my phone to MCR 3.1 with radio 4.06.00.02( of course wipe everything). it boot well, to home screen . but sometimes it still reboots itself( now it's on 2.1, not on froyo 2.2 any more)
in recovery mode still have: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
anybody meets the phone vibrates 7times( reboot) at HTC screen then freezing?

ROM manager get not started

Hi,
I have in my hand a DHD from virgin telecom.
Now, in belgium we have three providers: Base, Mobistar, Proximus, Mobistar and Proximus I can register on there network but I can not register to base network!
that means I need to unlock. First and foremost I have to root release by s-off, then engs-off I did that
my CID is now 11 ......,
that means that my DHD is unlocked but I still get no network.
I already did downgrade from 1.75 to 1.32 with goldcard,
En then i have change the buildversion to 26.04.03.17_m2
Actualy, i do everything correct but why cant i register to base network? It is very strange. Must i try another rom version
Forexample revulution hd or something? But i see not a piont!
Or must i pay for a unlock code? En how works that system can they really unlocked from the air? If they so, than must them hacking the system in dublin eho they check the imei numbers..
Have somebody any suggestion to my problem, otherwise i gona sell them ((
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

try installing some other rom and try putting in a different sim card than what you currently have.

ok, i'm know trying to install the revulution hd 2.1 rom now.
1/ according to the guide i must download the full wipe and then the 1.3 upgrade Wipe 1.3 for the safety of the device
2/ I need put these two files (.zip file) in the sd card with the rom file.
3/ then should I be sure if I'm released by the root in the Terminal Emulator Android
typing SU, As a result I've gotten #.
so far I have everything correct according to the guide.
4/The next step should be in the rom manager, I need the flash clockworkmod
and then rebooting which means boot in the clockworkmod.
but when I reboot I got that stupid htc logo. I tried that part again the same old sh*t again and again i'im every time stuck in that logo!! what am I doing wrong?
thx

Are you sure the problem isn't the SIM card and not the handset?
In the UK I use Orange and no matter what I do to the phone it won't let me use Vodafone. That's because its an Orange SIM card.
As for your current problem.
Take out the battery and boot the phone normally.
Within ROM Manager you need to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.x.x.x not 3.x.x.x you may need to do this twice as some users experience problems with flashing it once. Ensure you accept any Superuser requests.
Now, with the ROM & Full Wipe .zips on your SD Card boot into Recovery, either from ROM Manager or by turning off and starting holding volume down. Select Recovery using the volume keys and press power to enter. Make sure HTC FastBoot is unchecked first (Settings > Applications > FastBoot)
Now once in Recovery highlight "install zip from sdcard", press power, highlight "choose zip from sdcard", press power, highlight "Full Wipe 1.3.zip", press power, highlight "Yes - Install Full Wipe 1.3.zip", press power.
Now repeat this process for the ROM you downloaded and wish to install. Once complete highlight "reboot system now". Done.
Sorry if this teaching you to suck eggs, that's not my intention.

@nuri1: sorry but you're doing all wrong (I'm newby also so I can write such a sympatic comment)
For your network problem:
If you mean that you tried SIM from each provider... it could be the phone.
If with one SIM card you can't connect to another provider... it's a SIM card problem (or agreement between providers)
For your flash problem:
you mixed too many things. Take one step by step guide and follow it carefully.
You can see your phone as 3 layers:
Boot
Recovery
Build
To go in boot:
1/ power the phone and hold vol-
2/ adb reboot bootloader
To go to recovery
1/ on some build, long press "power" choose "reboot" then tic "recovery"
2/ use ROM Manager and choose the option to reboot in recovery
3/ adb reboot recovery
All the rooting of the phone (S-OFF, ENG-OFF...) will allow to install the "recovery" on your phone. It's te first steps to do.
When you're done, in recovery just flash your build (it has to be a zip on your SD). The "Full Wipe 1.3" is just an empty build used to clear the NAND (at least one part). You don't have to use 2 different ones.
So when you talked about 2 zip... for me it's wrong.
I have my DHD since last week and there are good and easy guides in the dev section.
If CWM is installed follow the clear explanantions of "andyharney"
Tip: first launch of ROM Manager will freeze your phone (at least each time for me). It's due to the SU permission. Easy to solve, launch "solve permissions issues" (sorry translated from french), accept the SU warning then back (no need to go through the full process).
Then you can choose to reboot "recovery", no hang anymore.

hi,
you said in the rom manager you must click clockworkmod 2.0.xxx en no 3.0 xxx
but i can only see 3.0.0.6 en no the other?
wtf!!!
thx

i got it
thanks anyway
lets rock!!

CM7 help

Hi guys,
got problems with cm7
HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 1 - copy update.zip and GAPPS ADDON to sdcard
step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)
ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press lower right key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE
step 3
- when phone is booting (FreeXperia Logo) press volume down key several times to enter recovery
- choose apply update from sdcard and select rom
- choose apply update from sdcard and select GAPPS
- wipe device
- reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
have i to unpack GAPPS ADDON file o just put it into sd card as it is?
on recovery i can find a list of "no" and just update.zip (that i guess is the ROM, isn't it?). nothing more, no GAPPS. any ideas on what i'm doing wrong? thanks
Cavin

You need to copy both .zip files to the SD card (CM7 and gapps) and flash them in recovery. Do not unpack any of the files, unless you want to make modifications to them.
In recovery, choose "install zip from SD card" option, select the CM7 file first, wait for the flash to complete, then go to "install zip..." again, and select the gapps file.
Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache (this last one is under the "advanced" menu in recovery), then reboot.
Better to do all this with full battery, to avoid drain issues.

The screen is like this
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip
-No
-No
-No
i had to rename update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG-signed.zip as update.zip and works, but grapps misses.
have i to rename the file gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip? if yes, how?
thanks for helping me

Windmobile LG Optimus 2x
I am trying to upgrade my Windmobile LG Optimus 2x. So I rooted the phone. Then I used ROM Manager from ClockworkMod. I chose the option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and then I have a problem: the phone keeps rebooting. Eventually I removed the battery and tried turning on again and it booted. It went back to the way it was when I bought the phone. All applications were gone. I tried one more time and same thing happened.

Failed Root; Stuck in Loop "process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"

Hello and thank you for taking time to read this post.
I attempted to root my At&t Samsung Galaxy S3 today then install tha AOKP Rom, and it back fired due to poor instruction, and poor execution. At the moment my phone, whenever it turns on "inititing swager" (with a pink horse and gears) then gives me a pop-up saying "Unfortunatly the process com.google.process.gapps has been stopped." and "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". Whenever I hit ok, the other shows up. I have access to the pull down menu, but can't open any of the links on it. I can also shut it off then get back to the root(hat menu) menu. From which I have tried the option "wipe data/Factory Reset" link, but that changes nothing when I reboot. At this point I am just looking for a way to get it back to factory settings or at least working!
How I got here:
1. Rooted the phone through my computer (successfully it seemed)
-Using this tutorial: /watch?v=bIUA1IxiJzo
2.Started puting AOPK on!
(with this: /watch?v=qzcR-G7EKSw
Look, I know none of you have to help me but any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I hav looked through other forums about the gapps error, but the difference is mine is not running to the home screen so I can't go to application manager!

Two suggestions:
1) Put your phone in recovery mode (i.e. where you can do factory resets from), transfer a different ROM image over to the device (I'd use adb to do that from recovery mode), flash it, clear data/cache/etc., reboot the phone, and hope it works.
2) Put the phone in download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power; just like entering recovery, but Vol Down instead of Vol Up), and use Odin to flash a rooted stock image as detailed here; put CWM / TWRP / whatever recovery you want to use on the phone again, and get back to flashing ROM images from there.
In the future, try to be careful of what ROMs you flash... not everything works very well, as you've just discovered.

Thank you for responding so quickly! I am attempting the first method, however i am not sure how to transfer a different rom image(im assuming the adb stands for Android Debug Bridge). I was using the internal SD, but I can plug it the phone into my computer, and it says no drivers found for this device, where before it recognized the phone. Once I get that I can clear the other data and restart.
Your help is very appreciated!

Gapps loop
How can I post a doubt in XDA forum?

What custom recovery is on your phone? I suggest installing Philz Touch via Odin if possible and then flash a new rom from an external SD card.

phone bricked? stuck at "this build is for.." screen

hi guys,
today i made a huge mistake. i was trying to deinstall the cm9 by just wiping my phone. accidentaly i made a "system wipe" with my recovery. now my phone ist stuck in the "this build is for development purposes only" screen. i tried to reboot into recovery via the aio kit - error: device not found. (led not flashing, not even when i connect it to the "normal" loading adapter). i just read another thread which ended in sending the device back to htc. i wonder if there is any possibility to safe my phone from that.

Are you able to acces the Bootloader by closing the phone and restart it by keeping pressed at same time VOLUME DOWN + POWER ?
Be careful: Do NOT press volume UP!, Do not hold Volume Down for too long!
Once you are in the bootloader you should be able to:
A:Go into recovery and repair it from there in you have the ROM on your SD card.
B:If you are unable to acces recovery mode from bootloader, try to use the All In One Tool and flash the TWRP Recovery (the one in the right part of the window) also, note that there are too version, CDMA and GSM, if you have a sim card flash GSM, if you do not have a simcard use CDMA.
Let me know how it went

ok. my phone just quick restarted. it directly went back to the "htc quietly brilliant" screen. pressing volume down + power button for a few seconds doesnt work to get into bootloader. i tried it serveral times. im not even able to turn the phone off. holding the power button only wont help at all.
thanks for ur help.
edit: i feel.. pranked now it worked and i went from bootloader to recovery (twrp already installed). can u tell me what to do now? thanks a lot already

Hm,
Well since you cant remove the battery on this phone, id suggest to just let it finish with what it has left off of the battery. once it is closed try to recharge it and then try to boot in recovery, ofc you might not be able to do this today, depends how much battery you had left when the problem started, but it's a chance, also if it's rooted you bootloader will be unlocked so i doubt HTC will grant you warranty for it (not 100% about this though). let us know if you manage to do any progress with it after you manage to make it close.
cheers

i just edited my post. managed to get into recovery (twrp). what do i have to do now?

Download a new rom and transfer it to your sd card, then flash it from your recovery.

If u have the ROM in the SD card just flash it and reboot other wise as he mentioned above

Ok, last night i went to sleep.
You now need to find a way to put a ROM on your SD card. whatever ROM you choose make sure you have the correct kernel for it (in every post for ROMs you will find a download link to the correct kernel aswell).
So what you do now (after you have the ROM .zip file on your SD card and your Kernel file in your PC) is:
-Put your phone into Bootloader, Select fast boot and connect the USB cable, and make sure it tells on your phone "FASTBOOT USB"
-Then in All in One select "Flash Kernel" and browse to the correct Kernel, and flash it.
-Reboot your phone in Recovery mode, you have the option in the fastboot screen.
-In the Recovery menu select Factory Reset -> Wipe System.
-While still in recovery go to "Install update from SD card" (or something similar) and choose the ROM .zip file, wait for it to be flashed
-reboot your phone (1st boot is always a bit slower, could take up to 5 minutes).
-after you get to your main screen, reboot the phone again and flash a Google Apps (gapps) .zip file. You will find the correct version from your ROM in the official thread of the ROM. You DO NOT run a factory reset, wipe system or anything like that for flashing Gapps.
Good luck.
