3 Incredible's dead - up to 5 now

So I've had two incredible's now fall in to a boot loop
(wiped, pulled battery, RUU'd, went back to s-on - nothing worked)
first one I had for about 8 months with no issues until now. they did
send me a replacement XD and it did the same thing!
Now my wifes phone is doing it :\
I'm just verifying - if I RUU/S-on/remove sd card - then it HAS to be a hardware issue right? nothing that I could have done?
[Further info if needed]
All had CWR 3.0.0.5 and were rooted via unrevoked

Were you using the same ROM or kernal each time?

It's the new cwm. It uses a different gscript setup. To a restore or flash incredible reengineered 2.3.1
If not that then I don't know. Did it happen after a Rom flash?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

well the first one was running Evervolv and had been for about 3 weeks.
it crashed during a phone call and never booted all the way again. (boot loop)
The second (This ones replacement) was running cm7 (Flashed it right as I got it) and worked fine the first day I had it (but I wasn't using it much that day) then it died while using the browser and fell victim to boot loopage.
The third one (my wifes phone) died about an hour later while using the browser but would still boot - but not stay on for very long. Especially if any sort of data was going on (like syncing with gmail). I figured since it was kind of working maybe it was the rom so I flashed s-on went back to stock 2.2 (ruu) where it now dies upon lock screen.
(or before sometimes)
[Ninja edit] Wifes phone had been running evervolv the amount same time as my first phone
all three were running latest CWM and had the default kernel for the rom they had. Also all 3 were flashed ruu and s-on including a clear storage for good measure (Verizon also had me do a factory reset come to think of it - before they would ship replacements)

could cwm leave something behind that would continue the boot loop after ruu?
That would suck because I've already sent in one phone would hate for them
to find something like that ><

have you tryed downgrading? i know i was having alot of issues with the new cwm. im running chingys rom and after the downgrade everything is running smooth again. cwm 2.5.1.2 seems to be working better...

I've went complete stock everything (including recovery) and it didn't fix anything.
Have an update on the situation as well.
Verizon shipped me another 2 phones - both broken out of the box.
The first one just reboots over and over again and can't even enter recovery.
On the second device the speaker is blown -.-

Are you using the same or different SD card(s) amongst these failing devices?
The one you had running for 8 months, was that SD card at end of life?
Asking, as AOSP ROMs interact quite a bit more w/ the SD card than do Sense ROMs, so if your issues are all with AOSP ROMs, I suspect wonky SD card(s).

I got that SD back when I got the phone so I hope its not
at the end of its life span.
I've actually didn't bother putting the SD cards in this last batch
because they were showing issues immediately (without any modding)
Thanks for the info on AOSP roms that could help diagnose future problems

That would explain a lot, actually, as AOSP ROMs call the sd during boot.

hTC Desire keeps freezing after on rooted ROMs

Hey guys.
A while ago I`ve rooted my hTC Desire and did an S-OFF, to be able to install custom ROMs.
I`ve "tested" a few custom ROMs, but none of them seemed to be stable.
Currently I`m on SuperNova_Classic_2.0.2.0 with built in Data2SD (iData2SD)(the idea is to have a stable rooted ROM, with DATA2SD and Sense), but every time I flash the rom, then install my fav apps, the phone keeps freezing at certain points, sometimes it runs OK for a week - with no freezing - other times it freezes in the first couple of days after ROM flash. I`ve tried not to install that many apps, but I`m still facing this freeze problem.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Here are the steps I took for ROM flashing
1. Created a 1GB ext4 partition on SD-CARD, preceded by a FAT32 partition(as required in the tutorial of Supernova)
2. Rebooted into Recovery - wiped data/factory reset; wiped cache partition; wiped Dalvik Cache
3. Installed the ROM zip file from SD-CARD; on first boot, except for the Wi-Fi connection, I haven`t touched anything(google accounts etc. - skipped all steps - ), waited for the system to stabilyze, then did a normal reboot in order for the DATA2SD function to work. After next reboot, DATA2SD was working properly(I even had the pink LED light up), Storage Information was showing the 1GB ext partition as an internal memory.
4. Installed all my apps, configured phone, widgets etc.
This way, at a certain point, the phone simply freezes, have to remove the battery to be able to use it again.
Here are my phone specs:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANel-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
Transcend class 4 - 16GB microSD card
I`ve searched and searched on xda-developers, but haven`t found an answer for my problem, yet.
What am I doing wrong here?
Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated !!!

This is no help to you.... but I'm having exactly the same issue.
Sometimes it freezes when starting a game, but most of the time it won't unlock(ie phone unresponsive when I try to wake it).
This is not ROM related as it happened on several different Roms, with a full wipe between. I'm not overclocking.
The only things I can think of are:
-Partially corrupt ext partition on SD.
-failing hardware.
-some other sw issue ie radio(which has worked for a while before this started happening).

Thanks for your reply, Shaun - it does help, at least now I`m not alone in this
You`re right, it`t not ROM related, I`ve tried different ROMs myself, same problem.
I`ve also tried another SD CARD (class 2).
I don`t think it`s the radio, I have the latest version, the version required on Supernova tutorial for best compliance.
I really don`t want to believe that it`s a hardware fault, as I didn`t overclock either and always read/followed the exact right/official steps in root-ing/flashing ROMs.
I`ve reinstalled Supernova now, with absolutely no additional installation of fav apps. Going on 2 days with no freezeing, so far.
I`ll keep post-ing if any new developments occur.
Cheers.

You've not installed any apps at all? hmmm.
When you do re-install your apps(I assume from Titanium backup?), it'd be interesting to see if it starts freezing again.
This would then suggest either a dodgy app that we both have, or titanium backup itself causing the issue.

What SD card specs?

I'm using the same card that i've had for the last 18 months-
it's an 8gb class 2 card with 768mb partition, the rest is Fat32.

I`ve started reinstalling some of the apps, the most important ones, like iGo, YahooMessenger, YahooMail, etc., but didn`t use Titanium Backup, installed them manually using Market.
So far, so good, no freezing.
My SD CARD specs: Transcend Class 4 - 16GB; 1GB ext2 partition for apps, and the rest is FAT32.

I could be wrong, but from what I`ve seen so far, I would recommend NOT to use widgets that require superuser permissions. Also, before flashing any pre-rooted ROM, be sure to turn "Signature verification" OFF, in the phone`s "Recovery" screen options. If your ROM has any kind of "Data2SD" scripts integrated, after flashing ROM - at first boot, DO NOT configure anything (google account, sync, etc.), DO NOT download/install any apps yet, ONLY enter the Wi-Fi settings(if that is the case); leave the system to stabylize, then do a normal reboot(if the ROM supports "Fast boot" - turn it OFF before rebooting). At second normal boot, the DATA2SD scripts should kick in ( u should see the phone`s notification LED turn to: pink or blue - depending on the script used by the ROM).

A class 2 is a definite no no for Data2sd IMHO. Class 4 is debatable. I had a bit of lag with an older version of data2sd on a class 4. It may be better now, Depends what speed the card writes at really. If its minimum for class (4 MB/s) that could be a bit touch and go. EXT 4 would be the best option for the 2nd partition
I recommend using an a2sd+ solution temporarily to see if the freezes go away

I would mind the lag, I didn`t get any lag using my card though, but just saying, would mind if it would be laggy, the real problem is the constant freezing I`ve had.
If it`ll freeze again, I think I`ll go back to stock Froyo, use Apps2SD and install only the bare minimum.
U know, another thing I never quite understood, I think hTC makes one of the best smartphones on the market, but they limit their possibilites with small batteries and very little internal storage space. What`s up with that?

I'm not using Data2SD. I'm using A2sd+. Same partition that I used on my Hero, and now my Desire for the last 14 months. Still getting freezes.
I don't think it's a speed issue.

a2sd should be fine on a class 2. What a2sd solution is it? Did you move dalvik too?
Its just a logical approach thats needed.
1) Eliminate the SD card by not running from it.
2) Change the rom
3) RUU
If after all that it still freezes, sounds like HW....

Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking.
I'm currently on InsertCoin with A2SD+. I was on LeeDroid, then RunnyMede before that with the same issue. I did a full wipe when swapping Roms. Not sure about Dalvik- if it's done in the Rom then yes, otherwise I haven't consciously moved it.
1) I might try a different SD that i have lying around- Nandroid it etc.
2) As above, already done that.
3) Last resort. Although a rooted RUU wouldn't be a massive issue for a day or 2.
If it's HW, I better get some insurance.
Edited to add: my SD card is actually a class 4. SD card tests suggests read speeds of 19-20mb/s and write speeds of 7-9mb/s.

Fixed my issue. It's the Kernel. Apparently the latest 2 kernels have the ability to undervoltage when not in use. Unfortunately, this can also cause the lockups i've(and possibly you've) been experiencing.
The last kernel without this in is: 2.6.35.14_110911.
This has 100% solved my issue and I recommended flashing it if you still having the same issue.

Great.
If I get another freeze, I`ll flash the 2.6.35.14_110911 kernel u`ve recommended.
Thanks a lot, dude.
If ever in Romania, look me up, got a few beers with your name on them

If it`s not too much to ask, could you possibly post a download link for that kernel version?

Did you flash the kernel while on existing ROM, or did you reflash de ROM as well?
And what ROM are u using with this kernel?

try using the earlier versions of super nova and data2sd, I also had the freezing problem but that was AFTER I upgraded to the newest version of supernova and data2sd

I`m using the 2.0.2.0 version, not the latest 2.4.0.0.
Earlier than 2.0.2.0?

[Q] Desire "reboots" when installing Apps

Hello guys!
First of all I would like to thank everyone who participates at XDA Developers. Incredible Job!
Since a few weeks I'm having problems with my HTC Desire using several ROMs.
I've been using Mildwild 3.2 since a few months and it went like a charm, so there was actually no need for me to change it. But then Mildwild 4.0 was released and for some reason I thought it might be a good idea to update my Desire to the latest Version.
I took my AData 16GB Class 10 SD Card and used GParted to partition the Card like it was supposed to be. 1GB Ext3. But when I installed Mildwild 4.0 I always had the same problem that when installing Apps the phone just "rebooted".. I'm using quotation marks, as it does not completely reboot, but instead only shows the "Mildwild" Logo (not the green HTC text on white background). The app is not installed. When i completely reboot the phone it is most likely to happen, that i can install the app without any problem.
As I did not find any solution to this and Mildwild started working on an ICS ROM i decided to switch to a different ROM that i already experienced a few months ago (at leat its predecessor) - Redux2 ZM 4.4. As I always thought that the problem is caused by my SD Card i decided to buy 4EXT Recovery from market and clean up everything before installing it. I formated everything /boot, /sdcard/, etc. - everything! And repartitioned the SD Card with 1GB Ext3 and 15GB Fat32. After installing Thalamus r4 kernel and redux2 everything has been restored from google servers like a charm, but for some reason some apps could not be downloaded. When I tried to install them manually after the automatic download finished.. guess what happened? The phone rebooted with the "redux" animation..
I actually dont have any idea anymore, what the reason could actually be. Maybe you can help me with my problem, as i just want to use a stable ROM on my beloved desire.
Thx in advance and sorry if i didnt find a thread that already discusses this problem!

i suggest you unstall some apps,because i've gone through this problem.It happens when there was a little space left.

Well, it says 130 MB left on internal storage

Same problem - no solution yet
Hi - I have also been having the same problem for the last 3 or so days. However, I am on an HTC Desire using LeeDroid ROM - so it would seem that this problem is not dependent on the ROM. Would be very grateful for a solution. This is starting to drive me nuts.

Im still struggelin with the problem. I thought it might be caused be a corrupted partition table? The idea with low space might also be the problem. Actually there are like 110 MB free whenever i look it up, but there might be peaks where it is lot less.. seen 40mb space left already. But why is this possible anyway? Thought this is the reason i have a sdext partition..

ok, i just wiped everything, formatted everything, repartitioned everything (1 gb ext4), flashed stock hboot, wiped everything again, flashed cm7r2 hboot, wiped everything again, flashed mildwild 4.0, flashed kernel r4.. booted once, set SD-EXT to active, rebooted, set sd-ext to default installation location, rebooted again.. now apps are downloading from the google servers and everything seems to work like a charm.. no "reboots" which i had the last few weeks.. ill keep u up to date

Sry for bringing this thread up again, but looks like I'm having the same problem as mentioned in the first post. Almost everytime I try to update or download new application, phone does the same as thread author described.
I'm on stock HBOOT if it means anything, Mildwild 4.8 based on Oxygen. Do I have to update HBOOT to fix this or is there another solution ?

Changing hboot doesn't help.
Just do what the OP did. Wipe everything, repartition your sd-card, and then see what happens.

I'll give it a try, I see Nobizzle did flash cm7r2 hboot so that is the reason I asked that. Nevermind, I'll stick with stock and report result after I finish.

Phone Hangs on every ROM

Hi
I have recently tried to flash my Desire with some ROMs and all of them hang and i have to snap the battery.
Here are some details:
I have completely formated my SD card using GParted Live into 2 partitions. One fat32 ~ 6 GB and another ext4 ~ 1.6 gb
I performed a full data wipe> cache wipe> dalvik wipe ; before installing any ROM
Installed the ROM> booted > (phone hanged on first boot at the home screen or if not then while using)
Phone works for sometime and starts hanging every now and then... I am not able to use any ROM AT ALL!!!
First i flashed RunnyROM (but that time i did the SD card partitioning with windows) > got hangs and installed SuperNova > got hangs> learnt that the partition needs to be done by GParted > did that installed same ROM > got Hangs > installed Silky ROM > got Hangs> did partition again with GParted> installed Runny ROM.... HANGS HANGS HANGS................aaaahhhhhhhh!!!! BRAINDEAD!
PLEASE HELP!!

The problem is the stock ROM works almost perfectly but I'm not able to use any ROM that requires SD-Ext partition. I've tried with CPU governors and "smartassv2" with 384~998MHz setting seems to be pretty stable at the moment - second round of AnTuTu Benchmark and it still isn't frozen! If it survives the third round, I'll set these settings permanent.
When you try any ROMs, don't plug the charger - it'll propably hang.

What class SD card and is it a high quality one like Sandisk?
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using xda premium

Do a full wipe of everything:
>system
>data
>cache
>dalvik
Then use a ROM that doesn't use Anything2sd. Then I really don't see how you could get any hangs. If it is rebooting, then it's possible it's a hardware issue where it overheats and reboots.

Always did the FULL wipe... have been looking for a ROM without the App2SD ... but can't find any... I think everyone wants that... ... Why isn't it working for us????
At this point i wouldn't even mind the stock ROM... but strangely the RUU i tried to flash gave an error (mentioned above) now i don't know my compatible RUU.
Please point me to one and i should get over with this .... extremely sad that i can't use such wonderful ROMs... don't even know what's wrong!!

First: I had problems with EXT4 partition, try EXT3 instead.
Second: I recommend CronMod-bravo/bravoc ROM , follow the guide strictly (beware, there are two versions for GSM and CDMA phones).

Most AOSP ROMs don't need A2SD since they can fit into the cm7 or oxygen HBOOT.
CM7
Oxygen
MIUI (Choose the one without A2SD or D2EXT)
dGB
Devnull
I'm sure there are others too.
Also, maybe your SD-Card is just sh*t, because aside from the obvious slight performance decrease of A2SD, there weren't many problems with it. Have you tried other SD-Cards? I'm not saying to buy a new one because it could turn out to be a waste of money, but if you have a spare one which is Class 6 or higher, try that. You can always buy one from the store and return it if it still isn't working as it should.

[Q] device reboots always

Hi xda folks.
in short:
Phone is s-off and rooted through revolutionary.
Lately I flashed a new rom [ROM][Android 2.3.7][Oxygen_r2 HBOOT]MIUI 2.3.7c modded by moss20.
I did run the a2sd+ installations scripts as documented on the rom thread.
One week after flashing, phone became slow and lagging.
Eventually one week later phone was down out of battery without me noticing.
Since then phone reboots after entering my pin code or later.
How can I figure out where the issue originates?
For those who wants more details here is the full history:
My phone is 3.5 years old. I never had problems. And succeeded for a long time to s-off, root and flash roms thanks to this forum.
I have a 8Gb class 4 sd card with 4Gb fat 32 partition followed by one 4Gb of ext4.
Latelly flashed that Miui based rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725629. I used the oxygen r2 Hboot, the little rom version and activate the a2sd+. After a week the phone became really slow and lagging. Then eventually I found my phone off, abnormally out of battery without noticing how it happened.
Since then it is rebooting from the moment I have entered my pin code.
I thought that flashing a new rom (sense rom) would help but the problem persits. I then used a bigger hboot from alpharev and flashed the sense rom again. It didn't help.
I had a little improvement when completely repartitionned the sd card with 6Gb fat32 partition followed by a 1 Gb ext4. Since then it do not always reboot after entering pin code. It somes times stays up for 10 minutes before rebooting. Using some apps on the phone most likely quickly trigger a reboot.
The last thing I did with no success is to reset stock Hboot and RUU following suggestion of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103520. Behavior is the same as the last one.​
I have no backup.
Any help to spot or fix that reboot issue would be greatly appreciated I love this phone

Is my post wrong? Too long?
I need at least some leads the find investigation paths.
I have the feeling it could be related to the access to the SD card. Because It is the 1st I executed manually the a2sd+ installation scripts. How can I check that?
Or is it possible that some tweaking in the MIUI based rom (see link in OP) brought instability (voltage, ...)?

1st, don't be impatient
What recovery do you have installed?
If you have trouble just after installing/activating an a2sd script it could have something to do with your partitions.
The best known method to partition/format your sdcard is using 4ext recovery.
Another problem could be the sdcard itself, maybe try another if handy.
What could help in general is power off phone, remove battery and eject/insert sdcard a few times,
just in case there's a little contact problem.
You should always be aware of what hboot you use for your rom, so what rom do you actually use and what hboot have you flashed?

Recovery: the one installed via revolutionary.
The trouble did not come immediately after installing a2sd+ but 2 weeks after.
I am using GParted to partition my SD card (and repartionned several times since issue stared)
I did not try an other sd card but I will try.
I did eject/insert the sd card lots of time since the issue started.
When the problem occurred I had HBOOT oxygen r2 from alpharev.
currently I am back on stock (and issue persists):
HBOOT (0.75.0000, S-ON),
rom (RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684),
radio 4.05.00.11
I can root and S-OFF + recovery whenever needed.

Today my phone stayed up for 12 hours.
It was charging almost all day long.
Could my issue be related to battery issue?
My problem started when I noticed the battery was completely uncharged. Until today I did not charge it more than necessary to be at 100%
I checked the contacts and they look ok (not bend and straight).

If problems still occur on stock unrooted firmware then it is likely a hardware rather than software problem.
Your setup looked correct before things went wrong. You partitioned your sdcard correctly with gparted, and your hboot wouldn't have anything to do with it.
You could try swapping battery, no harm in trying, see if that makes a difference.

Thank-you eddiehk6, I hope it is the battery. It is going better but the phone remains unstable by moments.
I was not aware a battery could be so cheap for 'old' devices.

A strange thing I noticed is that the phone can stays forever without rebooting on the "enter pin code" screen.
When I enter the pin code it reboots between instantly 30 seconds.
Isn't this proving that it is not an hardware issue?

I swapped the battery but it did not change anything.
The only thing I noticed is that without a sim card the phone is more stable. It still reboots but only every few hours. With the sim card inserted it reboots every few minutes if I am lucky.
How can the presence of the sim have an influence on this behavior?

Think you've got a hardware issue if it's still rebooting on stock ROM and after changing battery.
The SIM card will make a difference as it's connecting to a network, or trying to connect. Somehow it's causing instability -> reboot.
Only last thing I can think of is to s-off and flash latest radio version through fastboot. No guarantees this will work or make any difference.

I've got mildwild 5 and sometime when I'm using it or I want to take a pic the screen goes blank and I have to reboot it so annoying, what do you think the problem is?
