Random Rebooting - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is driving me nuts. This last week my phone started rebooting at the most random times. Sometimes in the middle of stuff and other times just sitting on the counter or on the charger. I was running a Classic Sense Rom, but wiped all and reinstalled several - all having the same problem. I am currently using the Derp 3d Rom v1.2 RC2, Kernal 2.6.35.10-g4e39384 (nitrous download) baseband ver 2.15.00.11.19
Does this tell anyone anything? It was rebooting without any additional apks reinstalled.
Thanks for any help or ideas..

I would suggest trying another kernel. The kernel may be undervolted and not playing nice, or the kernel just doesn't like your phone; it happens.

Just curious, which recovery are you using?

Using clockwork recovery..
I'll try another Kernal. The kernal I just flashed was to try another one as the phone had been working perfectly fine and then just started acting up without any new Rom / Kernal etc... It does it with / without the SD card - seen people attributing this to SD.
Any suggestion on a kernal??

Stop using clockwork now
Follow the link below and after following the instructions you will a great aosp rom with a better recovery. If reboots continue its very easy to fix the undervolting.
If you prefer sense, you can still gram amonra recovery from the link below. Continue to reflash your from and kernel. If rebooting occurs download an undervolting app or get vipermod and you can raise the voltages until rebooting stops.

Dude, no offense, but isn't that a little outdated?

OK, first thanks for the help so far! I've wiped all and made the recommended updates. I now have RA recovery; gingerbread deck1.3; gapps; SavagedZen 2.2.1 kernel; and updated the radio / PRI 2.15.00.12.19... BUT....... It has still rebooted on its own.. Any help w/ undervolting / vipermod? Thanks!

Go into advanced settings and try lowering the Max speed. Keep mind at 245.
If not then there's voltage problems. Download incredicontrol and see if raising tthe voltages helps.
If not, take the battery out and keep it out for 24 hours.
Might work.
Edit. Can you explain your problem in further detail. Your phone boots up and then just starts rebooting? Reboots every few minutes? Or does it not even boot in to the rom?

I had the same exact problem that you are describing to everyone here. All I did was Nandroid'd my phone, cleared everything and re-installed the Rom, let it boot up, go into recovery and clear the caches, then I installed the Kernal of my choice and it took care of my random rebooting. Just like everyone, we all have different problems even though it sounds like they are the same most of the time they aren't.

[Q] FPS Fix for Stock 2.2?

I rooted my evo yesterday, so I am still completely new to how things work. (Though I have read the forums for a while)
I know I can flash a custom rom to fix the 28FPS limit I am getting, but I don't have time to completely wipe my phone and rebuild everything again.
It's kind of looking like I just flash a kernel? but I am not sure and I don't want to brick my phone.
Is there a way to just fix the performance limitations (i.e. FPS limit) and keep my stock 2.2 and all my settings/preferences?
Thank you.
I searched but didn't find anything that made sense.
Phone:
Evo w/ stock 2.2 (UnrEVOked3 root)
You should be able to just flash a custom kernel, but I don't know how those work on plain stock. Make sure you nand first.

I have rooted stock 2.2 with Kings kernel #9. Works flawlessly. It's hard for me to go back to regular once the FPS is unlock.

Just flash the zip file from recovery. Make sure you do a nand backup before you start flashing the kernel.
Thanks for the info.
I will give it a try later.
Can I flash any kernel? Or how does that work?
I was looking at snap 8.2. Is it compatible with stock & sense?

Also, once a kernel is flashed can you update it without problems or doing a full nandroid restore?

No. Go for Netarchy's or Kingklick's kernels for 2.2 Sense roms. Snap is only for cm6/AOSP style roms.

Please correct me if those aren't the correct or official links to the kernels.
with netarchy it says:
An important note for Clockwork mod Recovery users:
Clockwork Mod is reportedly not wiping correctly (ie; if you try to wipe cache/dalvik-cache/data/etc it's not actually doing it, or not doing it right)
You may want to consider using Amon Ra Recovery instead.

not wiping correctly may cause your phone to bootloop no matter the kernel(Fresh's seems to be particularly sensitive to it), you should be ok though. If it happens just keep redoing it till it works.
I'm using netarchy's 4.1.9 cfs ATM and it's working great. Smooth as butter.
king kernel is really good, thats what im on right now. medium use: 500+ texts, wifi on, data on, hour of browsing, 30 mins of music playing, live wallpaper. with all that im hitting ~13 hours and im at 8% right now. king kernel is pretty good, nice and smooth too

Should I use BFS or CFS?
Can I back it up my kernel so I can reflash it if I ever need to?

im on the latest king kernel which is BFS (the king kernel #9)
as for backing up your kernel...i dont know...(didnt know that was possible). once you unlock fps, you'll never want to go back.
edit: also forgot to add that my screen off is underclocked to max:245 and min:245. so that made a HUGE difference in battery life

There really is no generalization for which is better, BFS or CFS. Every phone is slightly different in build due to margin of error in production. Some people have great results with BFS where others do not. I tried both extensively on Netarchy and much prefer CFS (better performance and battery). Why? I don't know. It just works for me. You will probably have to do some experimenting of your own.
Edit: Also concerning recoveries, I would go ahead and flash Amon_RA's recovery over ClockworkMod just to avoid conflicts. Amon works with everything is very straightforward to use.

Rom Manager won't work with Amon_RA, will it?
I still know very little about root abilities so I would like so stay with something easy like rom manager.
And are Nandroid back ups interchangeable between recovery images?

you can use rom manager to install ra, but then all you'll be able to use rom manager for is to download roms. Which is still ok - some folks prefer it this way, because some things shouldnt be too easy, if you know what I mean. If you let a tool do all the work, what do you do when that tool breaks or is unavailable, and you have to do it manually?
ra can only be used outside of rom manager. Nands cannot be used between ra and clockwork - if you backup with ra, you need to restore with ra, and if you backup with clockwork, you need to restore with clockwork.

I don't mean to be ambiguous, but it really depends who you talk to. Some people swear by RA, and insist that clockwork doesn't wipe properly. Other people can conclusively prove that clockwork does indeed wipe properly, and use that with no issues. Personally, I use clockwork, but do all my flashing and wiping manually and not through rom manager. The only time I ever had any issues was a while ago, with an older version of clockwork.
I also think that clockwork has the benifit of not requiring signed zips, but don't quote me on that.
edit - just wanted to add that some devs will specify one or the other to be specifically used for whatever it is that you'll be flashing. So if they say to use X to flash, you better try using X to flash before asking why you're having issues
idk im new to trying kernals, but im running fresh 2.2 and im only getting 31-33 fps.
using kinklicks bfs 9 kernal
any help?
I have tried most of the kernels listed. For me, the best has been Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 cfs. It is smooth and has not had a single glitch, which I can't say for the others I have tried. The second best I tried was the Baked snack battery kernel #5.
cfs or bfs? What I found was that bfs gave slightly better benchmark scores than cfs, but I had a lot of odd problems or glitches when running bfs kernels (mainly scrolling lag in some apps, and some apps fcing randomly). haven't had any problems with the cfs kernels. Frankly, I haven't found any advantage to bfs because, while it seems to give better benchmark scores, in actual use it seems much slower and more laggy to me than cfs.
Clockwork or AmonRa recovery? I have used both, only had a problem once (boot loop), and that was with clockwork. Since then, I have always used Amonra's recovery to flash with. When flashing just a kernel just wipe cache and Dalvik cache, then flash the kernel. As long as you do not wipe data (reset) you should not lose anything when you flash the kernel.
Oh, and when you do a nand backup, it backs up the kernel you are currently using with it. So you can easily switch back and forth to test by restoring your backups.

Invisiblek is the way to goon Gingerbread roms. I've flashed his newest with OMFGB 1.1.1, and it is awesome. No problems snappy, excellent battery too!
Sometimes people (including me) mix up AOSP and Sense, sadly they don't like to play with others if you install them with the wrong rom. Racists, pft.
I have only had the phone about a week now so I have had a lot to learn. So far everything seems good now and I am happy. Now if i could just get better battery life lol.

Have you tried Incredikernel? Kernels are really a matter of personal preference, but Incredikernel seems to be one of the best. (And also my favorite.)
I gave it a shot a while back and had trouble. My issue is that he touch screen doesn't respond. Incredikernel is recommended in several places but i had zero luck with it supporting the screen. I have started to wonder if its support for slcd.
I will try it again and see what happens.

Boot Manager 3.1.1 not working

I've been trying to get boot manager up and running,but for some reason when I go to setup phone rom it keeps looping boot manager has been given superuser permissions. I've tried deleting the folder from the SD card, uninstalling the program,resetting the permissions in su, but no luck. Can someone help me out
If I remember correctly only a few ROMs will boot on BM. You could talk directly to them here
Its not a rom program, but the actual app itself
Have 4 ROMs running on BM here. Havent got ICS a5 running yet or it would be 5. May be of some help but direct link to their forums that fenixjn posted might be a better place as the devs GFlam and Conap check their forums numerous times a day and are fantastic.
Which ROM are you trying to boot? I have four running but have had some issues with some of the newer ones.
I think that you need to talk directly to the Devs.
And as stated, some Roms do not let boot manager open.

I bought it and never got it to work. I am happy to support devs and it is an awesome Idea but, I couldnt find a single rom that would boot from it. MIUI, OMGB, CM none worked

Once you are in the ICS, then let it settle, then reboot it. Check to make sure you have an internet connection of anykind so it can check permissions, then try to reload it. Also, NEVER delete the Bootmanager directory while in a Slot ROM. Can you say problem? It is, that is the only way you can get back to the stock Boot.img.

I also had the same problem, after I had it installed and running flawlessly.
A solution is to do a clean wipe of your phone, and reflash the ROM you want as your primary. SD cards can corrupt data just like anything else, so sometimes a file gets screwed. So I wiped, reflashed primary, then restored the apps, then set up boot manager, and installed 4 ROMs without any problems.

CM10 is still in development and has not had a official/unofficial release from what I have heard. It's just another beta to play around with. So, I would highly recommend you report that bug to the developer.
DCIM is usually where all the photo's would be and stored in a folder called 100MEDIA/MEDIA100. It confuses CM what folder to look in, and CM just makes its own folder.

I am kind of a newbie but wanting to flash this rom. Do I need to start with Alpha 1 and then flash each one after or can I just flash Alpha 5.3?

Do exactly what the Dev told you in his post. Install a Safe kernal. DL your file put it on your device. make a backup. do a full wipe(usually calikulin's wipe all is perfect) now flash new rom. flash different kernal(unless it tells you not to) if you desire and then flash your modem if its not there. If you have no idea what you are doing. READ READ READ. Ive done a decent amount of flashing over the past 2 years and i still read tons of posts to include the first couple pages and the last couple pages.
That rom will also have bugs and isn't complete since he is still working on porting everything over from JB.
No you don't. The only think you have to worry about is being on a safe recovery. Agats kernel has a safe recovery included. The kuban kernel also includes a safe recovery as well. (included to prevent confusion) The reason why you need a safe recovery is because in the past people have bricked their phones when wiping data. You could also use the el26/29 kernel packed with clockworkmod recovery v5 to be extra safe. Once you enter recovery mode with a safe recovery or cwm5 all you have to do is wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache and you should be fine to flash cm10. You don't have to flash older versions because the newer ones have everything the older ones have. They also have bug fixes. There is no reason to flash alpha 1, 2, ect unless you just want to see how it works.
Just flash the latest version.

You don't need to start with Alpha 1, just follow the directions on the original post (first post on the first page) after downloading the alpha 5.3 file, gapps, and any other files it recommends.

my 3g isn't working... i only get 1x. what do i need to do to fix this.
What version did you flash? If it was a nightly I wouldn't be too worried about it cause sometimes they work and sometimes they have bugs because they sometimes contain experimental code. Also try toggling airplane mode and see if that helps.

I flashed the Alpha 5.3. I tried the airplane toggle, I tried reflashing, I wiped everything and nothing worked. I still only get 1X. I flashed back to my previous rom for now until I figure it out.. which sucks because I love this rom.

Also when you say you wiped everything, that means that you wiped data/factory reset, wipe cache x2, wipe dalvik x2, then flash rom?

Yes.. I did that! I have tried it 3 times now and I still only get 1X My phone has been flashed to Boost Mobile. Would that make a difference? I have flashed other roms before and never had a problem getting 3G
