[Q] Stock Inc Frequent Rebooting

Hello everyone,
I have just bought a Droid Incredible off of ebay. The seller said it was in mint condition and that there were no problems at all. When it arrived, it was in perfect condition. However, upon activating the phone, it would not stay on for more than 10 minutes. It just keeps rebooting itself. Also, while it is up, it does not always maintain a signal, and then it usually reboots a couple minutes after that.
It is not rooted, all of it is stock. I have been trying to find an answer for this problem all over the internet but to no avail.
I have read that where this phone is from (North Carolina) there was a lot of people with the same problem as this one.
It is the amoled version, hboot .92 and the baseband is the most recent at 2.15.00.7.28
I have tried factory resets, battery pulls, new battery, reflashing the RUU. I am at a complete loss.
Any help would be great, because I want to love this phone. I am sick of my slow Eris and this was my solution.
Thanks so much in advanced.

After some troubleshooting, I have noticed that it only occurs when the 3G service is turned on.
Any thoughts?

Have you tried a different radio?

I'm not sure what the problem is. FYI, that's not a bootloop. A bootloop is when the phone continuously boots, but never all the way to be usable, such as to the quietly brilliant screen and then starts again.

Also, I would bring it in to Verizon. See if they'll replace it.

I totally agree. If its not rooted and you've had Verizon for a bit they really should help you out. Honestly Verizon has always worked with me and been very helpful.

I tried flashing some of the leaked ones in HBOOT, but they wouldn't load. Can you point me in the direction of where I can find how to properly do this?

I tried, but I bought it from a third party, and they immediately ignored me/ tried to talk me into a thunderbolt. I guess my 10 years of Verizon isn't good enough.

Thanks for all of your suggestions so far guys, I really appreciate it!:wq

Check over on incredibleforums for the radios. Wont let me post the link :/
Try bumping to an older one or the new leaked one. Not sure if those will screw with an amoled tho, can someone else clarify?

I posted over there too. But actually, I am now starting to rethink that it is the 3G radios. I could've sworn this was a software issue, but it just rebooted on me while I had 3G turned off.
I guess this ebay seller really did lie to me. Well thanks for your help guys, I don't know if I should bother trying to fix this. I guess I should just hope for the seller to respond. Its been almost a week...

Same exact thing is happening to my buddy's phone. I rooted it and put CM7 on it and it was still rebooting.
I had to turn S-ON back on and downgrade back to stock so he can return it to Verizon.

This is exactly what is happening to me right now. It lets me "touch the android to begin," then it reboots. I bought it off ebay and it was an unused cpo. Looks like I'll have to return it. Hey, since I bought it from somebody off ebay, should I worry about turning S-ON and going stock??

You only have to turn S-ON and go stock if you're returning it to Verizon.

That's the guide I used. Works perfectly. Order of operations is:
0) make sure sd card is formatted to FAT32
1) check your radio version
2) downgrade radio if necessary
3) flash s-on
4) install RRU through HBOOT

Have you tried other ROMs with other kernals? Just shooting in the dark, here; would hate for you to just be stuck!

I can't even successfully root/s-off the phone. It reboots while its being rooted (and not the reboots that are supposed to occur) and it fails.
I have tried everything. I used to be adamant that it was a software issue, but after yesterday, I am beginning to think that it might just be hardware.
Anyone have any experience with getting their money back from ebay/paypal?
But seriously guys, I can't thank you enough for all of your ideas and help. I really appreciate it. Hopefully I can join you guys with the Droid Incredible one day.

PayPal is pretty good about protecting the buyer, as long as it hasn't been too long since the transaction. I would contact the seller and inform him of the problem, then contact PayPal and explain the situation.

I've contacted the seller the day I received it, asking for a refund. I then also contacted the seller two days later. A day after that, still not hearing anything, I opened an eBay case. Now eBay tells me I must wait until the 6th to escalate the case any further.
This is such a hassle, I just want my money back. Part of me wants to just get a HTC Flyer and just tether my Eris to it.

My inc did the same thing. After about ten tries I got it to root (mine too rebooted during the process before it was supposed to). But no rom, kernal, or anything else stopped the reboots. My seller said to return it for a full refund.
Ebay is pretty good at taking care of you. Last year I bought a phone and the seller bailed on me. About a week after I opened a case I had a full refund in my paypal account. Good luck!

[Q] EVO reboot randomly

I've searched for answers high and low and I have learned that my reboot issue might be hardware related, but I'd post a Q&A in case someone has a better idea.
My EVO reboots randomly. It mostly happens when I'm watching a netflix mirrored to my TV. It rarely happens when my phone screen is off (ex. WIFI hotspot). It happens on AOSP and Sense roms (CM7, Fresh, MIUI, and stock deodexed). It happens with different kernels and radios. The weirdest part is that it didn't start until about June 1st. About one year after a got it on opening day. I first noticed it while playing Plants Vs zombies. I talked to sprint and the tech guy was willing to work with me and has ordered me a replacement. I don't want to go get it because I will lose root.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
yes I've tried wiping all of the memory.

How about running a RUU and returning to complete stock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060

And lose root? I could go to sprint and get my replacement if I wanted that. Or would it take me to 2.2?

Can you post a logcat and the last_kmsg after it happens again
And just a thought, maybe lowering the max cpu clock speed just a little, see if that helps at all.

If you run the 3.70 RUU (not the top two) you will go back to 2.2 and can reroot.
However, if you go back to stock and it still does it you're probably out of luck and will need a replacement.

Yeah, how do I do that? I've never done it.

It's possible. It's always best to go back to stock if you're having an issue that seems un-fixable.

Doesn't sound like that's the issue then.

I'm willing to try to unroot it and see if that fixes it. Even if it does break I already have to refurb at sprint. I just don't want to risk never getting root back. who knows when the root is coming

Take this file and rename it PC36IMG.zip put it on the root of your SDCARD and boot into the bootloader and accept the update.
If that doesn't work you may want to try posting a logcat per kyouko's request.

No. Your ROM/Kernel choice is not going to affect the RUU.

Random Restarts
I received a replacement EVO back in June unfortunately. Ever since I have had this EVO I get those random reboots when running GPS, certain apps, and listening to streaming music. I have called Sprint on this MULTIPLE times and have gotten nowhere. They had me take it to a Brick and Mortar and the put it on a test bench and it passed with flying colors. 20 minutes later it rebooted. Took it back and they wanted to run the test on it again. Screw that. It will still pass. Called a Tech, they thought I had apps force closing, not reboots, even after I said I was having my phone crash and restart. The Tech had me do a data profile reset, ##3282# Edit Mode, Enter MSL, Hit menu, choose Reset Data Profile. It wipes something and then does a hands free activation. Still had issues. Today the Tech has me do the same thing and when that was done had me do a complete Factory Restore. Once I was able to run GPS and music at the same time. She was so excited that she had miraculously fixed me phone. 20 minutes later it rebooted. I havent called Sprint back but I am pissed. I didnt have these problems with my day one EVO, but when I get this refurbished piece of crap, it has more problems in the first 2 months that I had with my day one EVO for the first 350 days. Has anyone else asked Sprint why they do not keep tabs on ESN's and why they were returned. That would be good information to have....my 2 cents. To the OP, what did you say to the Tech to get a new phone? I have had no luck. Thanks.

I had luck getting a new phone because the tech I talked to at sprint owns a rooted evo and was impressed at why I thought it was a hardware issue. He knew a lot more than everyone else and he just asked for a new evo for me even though I don't have insurance and it's past warranty. I got lucky to be honest, but everywhere I've seen says its a hardware issue and it doesn't matter what you change, it still happens.
Goods luck with your refurb, I'm going to try one last thing before I trade in my evo for a replacement. I'm going to un root it to see if it can fix anything.

I ran the RUU and am on stock 3.70 and it reboot before I could even finish my market downloads.

Vibration stopped working

I've been using Hyperdrive ROM for a while and today I noticed that none of the alerts are producing vibration. I thought it might be related to the kernel I installed so I reverted the kernel but that did not fix. So I installed a new ROM (Resurrection) and I still have the same issue.
I installed Vibration tester and I'm still not getting any vibration.
Any suggestion ?

have you dropped your phone, or did it get wet. happened to me once. the vibrate stopped after getting wet on an HTC phone.. also if you drop it, the connector could get loose.

Yes, it's been working fine until few days ago when I noticed that I'm missing calls and texts due to phone not vibrating in my pocket. At first I thought it was a kernel issue (I was using Hyperdrive rom at that time) so I tried different kernel and it did not fix the issue to yesterday I installed KK remix to see if that fixes the issue but had no luck with that either. So at this point I think it might be a hardware issue and the vibration motor is toast. I went ahead and ordered a replacement and will try my luck with replacing the original one.

Reboot issue

So I just got a refurbished Nexus 7 from NewEgg and for a day it was working fine. Even ran a stress test against it.... but then the second day I ran Words with Friends and it froze for a second and rebooted. This happened twice. My guess is hardware but wanted to get some opinions on this before I sent it back.

I've used it for maybe 24hrs.. and was Factory Reset before getting to me. Is there any issues with 4.4.4 at all doing this?

I've had no issues with my Nexus 7. A factory restart really doesn't mean much. Eliminate as many variables as possible then go from there.

Factory reset via stock recovery.

Is it safe to do a factory reset via stock recovery straight out of the box... it won't lock the phone? Or should I first start it, do a fast set up and then do a factory reset?

Anyone?

I'm not going to jump straight into a reset. I had the boot loop problem and wiping the cache from recovery finished the phone off for good. DM verity error, failed to set up dirty target etc. Been unusable since. I'm personally not going to touch any recovery options until the stock levels are high so I can get a replacement straight away if something goes wrong. I'm sure they'll have addressed the issue with the firmware but not going to take the risk just yet.

I was thinking about the same... if I get a bootloop then I'am doomed. I want to do this because a lot of ppl are saying it improves the battery life drastically but they mi might be wrong.

Yeah tried absolutely everything mate. Tried emergency recovery which got to 100% on the pc. When the install started on the device it sticks at 32% then restarts back into recovery. Exact same thing when I flashed the AP via Odin. Completely bricked

That's rly sad... I will wait for a month and see how is the battery and then do a factory reset if I'am not getting good SOT.

I have read elsewhere that Samsung were initially pulling the mother boards out and replacing them to fix this issue. By the time mine died theyd recalled them worldwide anyway so they weren't interested in repairing it only to have to replace it.

Yeah it's a much more widespread problem than the battery exploding it would seem. Affecting lots of people to varying degrees. Definately a massive part of why they've had to recall them. The battery issue means they get to use safety as the main driver instead of actually having to acknowledge there is a catastrophic problem with motherboards or firmware whatever it is that's causing the reboots. I have the exynos with the single sim. Uk version in blue. Yourself?

Will be the same 930F the international one. That doesn't sound very good. Can't wait to get mine and test it out.

Maybe someone tried the factory reset on the new note 7?

Bump... anyone tried factory reset with stock recovery out of the box?

I was thinking about factory resetting my new N7 out of the box. Not sure I will though - would like to know the ramifications (good and bad). My original N7 has great battery life and no issues so IDK if should even mess with a factory reset to start with.

I factory reset from recovery on both my exchanged AT&T Note 7s at the store when exchanging, and then again when I got home and have had not a single issue.

Im not sure what the big deal is here.....go ahead and reset it...it will do what it always does and has always done.
No more no less and the first thing i do when i get a new device.
If you set up then reset the only extra thing it will do is undo everything you just set up lol.
Kinda of counterproductive if anything.
