Random Reboots After Mass Flashing

I started experiencing random reboots a while back, when I was switching between 2.3.7 ROMs and 4.0.3 ROMs and flashed at least 5 ROMs in one day.

No matter what I do on Android, I still experience these reboots, so it must be a hardware problem. I do not have any bad blocks. These reboots occur even after a Task29 and a flash to a new ROM. I always use MAGLDR, and I select my network manually. I do not overclock.

An interesting phenomenon is that these reboots do not occur in Windows Phone 7 at all, but I still prefer Android.

Any help?

Could this be a mainboard problem?

Phone reboot when playing music with earphone

I could say that I've never experienced reboot when normal using of rom. I have been using this ROM[cLK][MAGLDR] Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.5 NAND (Runnymede 1.22.461.2) and so far I could say it is a very stable rom. Only recently when I tried to play music, the phone reboots itself. The funny thing is it reboots only when i am using an earphone plugged in. If I am using the loudspeaker, it does not reboot. I could only get to up to 20 seconds of music playing then it will reboot itself. One guy posted this question which is similar to mine here. Could it still be ROM related? I want to know if there is anyone out there experienced the same problem as mine.

Thanks for your help

I'd just like to say thanks to all the contributors on this thread and especially to the initiator of the fix of random reboots by changing the network selection to manual in the network settings.

I have experienced random reboots ever since owning my HD2. I updated the stock winmo 6.5 ROM with the latest official shipped ROM, then upgraded to Dutty's, then switched to Android ROMs and every single ROM I ever tried I experienced these most irritating spontaneous random reboots. Always when I was not using the phone.

Thanks to this post I have not experienced any reboots in weeks.

Great stuff folks. Thanks again. :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kuranha:
If you have tried everything in the thread, but you still have the rebooting issue, it must be hardware related.

Using a task killer, check how much ram you have before making viber calls.

If you have to much running in the background, your phone will lag.

Hello.

can anyone please tell me how to view my gmail photo attchments before downloading them? is there an app or something? or should I change the IMAP to POP.

thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YOUCANNOTDENY:
Anybody have updates for this situation?

The phone was repaired by HTC for a faulty digitizer due to the hardware buttons before the restarts started to happen.

I will try to:

-downgrade my CWM version

-run the phone without a SIM or SD card for a few days

-Task29 and clean install HyperDroid

-Disable background sync

-Underclock to 800 MHz

I'll report back if the reboots still occur.

My chief suspect is the repair. The phone came back with the glass and the body slightly separated. I had to push it back together.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
Good luck. Never worked for me task29/task2a.

The only solution is to increase the size of partitions.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DarrenNewsgroup:
I am unclear as to why you are increasing the size of the partitions. Are you aiming to get all bad blocks in the recovery partition or some other partition? I have your threads and I am unsure as to what I am trying to achieve (how do I know when I have finished resizing)

Thanks

Darren .)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
I'm making the partitions as big as needed. I increase with 5 mb at the time. I commit my changes, then I re boot. If my phone still won't boot, I increase with 5 mb more.

When the partition containing the bad blocks are big, the nand just ignores the bad blocks I guess.

Hi

im having some troubles with the IceCreamTosti v1.1a rom. The rom looks lovely ( many regard to the developers) und runs smooth except that it freezes sometimes completely especially when i do play games (f.e. angry birds) i then have to remove the battery and to reboot it ( happens many times a day :( ). Is there any advice how to solve this problem ?

details:

HTC HD2 T8585 ( 512 MB rom vodafone)

HSPL 4 ( because spl 3.03 )

cLK Version 1.4.0.1

radio : 2.15.50.14

would appreciate your help !!

but i did move the game to my sd card with the inbuilt function
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
The freeze issue is usually related to bad blocks.

Could you try to install a stable gingerbread rom and see if it happens then?

My phone reboots in ICS sometimes too/freezes. (lack of RAM)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClassicStyle2k3:
yeah i have thought about it already to try a gingerbread rom havent done it yet.

i think im gonna give TyphooN CyanogenMod 7.2 RC2 v3.8.3[2.3.7][A2SD+][tytung r14] this evening a try.

Thanks for your help ! just thought maybe there is an easy solution :D ics looks damn good

ICS is not 100 % stable yet, give it 1 more month ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I know exactly what you mean about ICS being too damn good to give up. I was using TyphooN before flashing NexusHD2 and I honestly could never go back. I don't experience any issues with freezing, aside from a single bug where if I press the menu button in the app drawer of GO Launcher I will get a freeze about 1/5 of the time, and even that seems to have been fixed now. Also try killing apps before launching Angry Birds and perhaps moving the app to internal storage, because that sometimes helps make it more stable as well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClassicStyle2k3:
i will do that. just testing typhoon rom runs smooth and no freezes so far !

yeah ive tried both killing all other apps while playing and moving it to the internal memory but both also combined didnt really help . i hope one of the next versions will work fine for me. maybe i am going to give nexushd2 a shot next :D

thx guys

Freezing with launch of Facebook

Hello all,

I am actually a returning member and I had been running a GB Nexus build on my 1024 HTC HD2; unfortunately I forgot which email I signed up with and must be lableled a "noob" once again.

But I digress,

I have tried 5 ROM's in the past 2 days and with each, I experienced freezing and random reboots. I am currently running NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.3 and I fear flashing one more time due to how unstable my phone is acting.

I have tried both GB and ICS builds with the same results. I have spent (literally) 10+ hours over the past 2 days trying to troubleshoot exactly what is wrong with this thing.

I do not at this point know how to run demesg or adbtools, nor have I found a guide that was simple enough to follow (yet); its always the most important details that are left out. All I know is that I do have bad blocks from a demesg dump I did from MAGLDR yesterday that came out in a mess of a notepad. I did note several (I'm being modest) instances of "bad block" and I tried task 29 more than I would want to. At this point I realize that GB is more stable, but for whatever reason, this ROM likes my phone (or is that the other way around?) I adjusted my CPU to 806MHZ as per the suggestion of another user (I will go thank him after this post) and that at least let me finish setting up initially.

So now fast forward to me having all of my apps installed and no more installations going on in the background. I run Advanced Task Killer to take care of random starting programs and I even manually killed some before I tried to open Facebook; because, that should work (right?) My HD2 froze upon starting FB and I had to do a battery pull, because honestly, the reset button only causes my phone to then go into a series of bootloops that would make the most avid NASCAR fan dizzy.

So here I am, with a (mostly) functioning phone and I know there is something I must not have tried yet; please help!

Regards,

Nick

I had a horrible problem with random reboots and since doing the steps below I have not had a single random reboot since. Its a lot like what is stated in step 2. "Possible solutions to fix the random reboots" The fix below will effect some people getting the best signal. I have noticed by doing this that unless I'm somewhere with a good tower around I'm almost always on the edge network. Kind of a issue at times but I was getting so pissed because it seemed my phone would reboot at the worst possible moment.

(Go to Settings - Wireless & networks - Mobile networks - but instead of selecting Network operators I selected network mode - then GSM only)

So I cut back my processing speed to 768 and voila! it works like it should(ish) I'm still leery to try and play games on it, but i can surf the internet, connect to wifi, make phone calls (gasp!) and even go on Facebook :D

I am still interested in finding the *perfect* guide on how to run reports on phone performance and look for bad blocks, so if anyone has any input - good, bad, indifferent - I'm your guy!

Thanks again to the guy who suggested dropping the processing speed in the first place!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Iojjj:
ptrot412,

you can try flash stock WinMo 6.5, let it boot to home screen and then flash any rom (android or somthing else). Some users advise to flash stock WinMo instead of Task29.

And you can try use mtty (for your own risk) with command task 2a 55aa. It will check, format, repair or mark up bad blocks with I/O check. After this check mtty found 2 bad blocks in my HD2's NAND. But be careful, possibly it can brick your phone (but I'm not sure).

If you have many bad blocks you should try to increase your system partition, maybe it resolve reboots.

I'm using Tytung's ICS 4.0.4 v.2.3. Radio 2.15.50.14, CLK, HD2 T-Mobile

Hope I can help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11nn93n9:
When I was using dual boot to load Android ROM from sd card, random reboots no matter what ROM I try. One reason may be due to my poor reception. I have tried all the tricks including setting modile provider, etc. None works. Once I switch to boot android from NAND, random reboots are history. From my experience, booting android from SD card and keeps Windows Phone 7 in NAND is the source of random reboots.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
I guess it's because the 3G network is unstable. So your phone disconnects, which causes the random reboots.

Yeah, i've 5 bad blocks (2 on boot, 1 on system and 2 on userdata)...i've created longer partitions thinking that could be the case...not yet on boot...but as far as i know, the boot partition should have enough space (even without the unusable space of bad blocks) since the roms install and boots well...what do you think? How much more extra space should i take care per bad block found?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DarrenNewsgroup:
If my device has bad blocks where are these ideally meant to go? My bad block is currently in "cache".

People talk about increasing partition sizes until it works. I don't understand. Does the file system (yaffs2?) that is located in a partition know where the bad block is and simply marks it as bad and so does not use it? If so is this why it is necessary to increase this partition's size by 10MB as that is the size of the bad block? Can someone please explain the reasoning.

Hopefully my HD2 is OK because the bad block is in "cache" which I believe is used by CWM and not Android itself. I did have a case once where a CWM backup failed its MD5 checksum but doing the backup again worked. Perhaps that was related to bad blocks.

Thanks

Hello lads! Thank you all for this forum and espescially this thread!

I'm seriuosly starting loose my paitence on my HD2 now! I've been having theese random reebots and shutdowns ever since I moved on to Android from WM6.5.

At the moment I am running the latest Touchwiz rom(4.2.2). I've tried to turn off backgrund data, manually select an operator and set down the cpu speed to 806.

I doubt it has something to do with bad blocks because I did the Wipe29 before installing the new rom. I have also tried both Clk and Magldr, and even both HSPL 2.08 and 3.03 with no luck!

The phone even reboots without the sim, so I dont think it is that either!

RE: Random reboots

Hellos.

Experiencing some nuisance in form of random reboots. Happens in various instances. While recharging, while forming wi-fi hotspot etc etc.

I previously read some info regarding automatic operator selections etc. All in all, as almost all reboots happen in poor coverage areas I suspect that it has something to do with network.

-> using Rootbrowser navigated data - system - networkstats -> selected all files and deleted them. I did this also previously and it helped. I do this clearing occasionally as this folder collects networkdata and Logcat reported errors regarding this.
