Hello, and sorry for filling up the forums here in the Q&A. I really need some help, It is quite urgent. I am losing work, and all this stuff. I am running Amon Ra, and CleanROM 4.1

My phones keeps rebooting, randomly. Even if I remove the back cover, sim card, and SD card. I can't touch the dialer, If I do. BOOM, reboot. I will get 2 minutes to mess around, them reboot. Sometimes 2 seconds. This is very annoying. Should I flash a different Rom? GO back to complete stock? Flash this? Flash that? I need a professional answer here guys :/
[HTC Rezound] Dalamar1320:
Is this the first Rom you flashed? Did the problem present immediately? The more details the more we can narrow down your problem.
[HTC Rezound] T Greezy:
I have flashed countless amount of roms, this starting happening when I flashed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1556183 Ever since, everytime I power up my phone, I get like 30 seconds of usage then bam, reboot. I tried different roms and everything, It could be a problem, I've also tried Rez Rom, Or just ICS. I have tried a battery from my T bolt and got farther, but still got rebooted on. My SD card, both external and internal are wiped, everything, I mean everything I have wiped individually in amon ra recovery. Could it be my SIM Card? It says SIM CARD IS NOT AVAILABLE, After 10 seconds I get a weak signal, then when I go to dialer, it reboots.

Did the SIM card go bad? The rom could be the culprit, but how? I have flashed 3 different roms since. (Senseless clean rom 4.0, Clean Rom 4.1, Rez Rom 3.2) What could have changed? I haven't used my phone in 6 hours or so. Should I go into verizon to get a new SIM? Should I fear that they wont service me due to my unlocked rezound? I have tried everything. My next step is to flash an old rom, to see what happens.

Holy hell, it's crazy in here tonight. There are three people with a similar issue running around right now.

You did install the new RUU right before installing this ROM? If not, your solution is right here.

If so, do it again.

If you've done it again already, give some more details as to when it started and what you did right before.

Ha, never mind. You just have two threads on the same topic. Bad form, sir! No flaming from me, but that sort of thing gets some folks around here PISSED.:eek:
[HTC Rezound] T Greezy:
I am very sorry. How do I check the RUU Version? I don't remember flashing one before flashing that ROM. I don't really know, but does the PRL have something to do with this? I think I have accidentally messed with that by NOT being on that new RUU leak before I flashed the rom, so with that being said, the other new roms, I have to be on that new RUU ( 3.11.605.22 ) to have the rom stable, and not rebooting? Correct? Thank you for your guys help! :o
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
No prob here. Just warning you! Some of the old hands around here get tired of us noobs (I was a green horn not too long ago myself).

Boot into your bootloader, the newest HBOOT should be listed as 2.21.0000 and the date is Mar 11, 2012. If those are off, check out that link I posted. If you don't remember doing it (it's a PITA) you probably didn't do it.

No matter what though, if you can't get the phone to stop rebooting on you, you should RUU back to stock before trying anything.

When you unlock, make sure you flash the newest version of Amon Ra, because 3.14 has some issues with the new firmware.

Go slow and it'll be fine. For the record, in the instruction I sent he mentions that it may hang on the HTC screen for a couple minutes the first reboot.... it hung for almost 20 min when I did it. So don't get impatient!

Good luck.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
Not trying to scold anyone here but next time read ALL the threads about it before trying to update to an RUU and 99% of these problems will just go away :D
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
No doubt, dude. Personally, I study my ass off before I do something that could kill my $500+ pocket computer. But I don't mind helping out those who skip the important parts.... some days anyway!
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Running the new RUU is a nerve wracking ordeal, no doubt! You have to be patient and run everything twice. Patience is the name of the game!
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
bad logic to go by, some things brick if you run twice, AKA Froyo radio on the Inc
[HTC Rezound] T Greezy:
Hey guys! Just updated to the new version of Amon Ra. I am currently waiting for the new RUU to download. In the meantime, can someone give me a link or tut on how to update HBOOT? I'm currently on 2.11.0000 OCT 6, 2011 and cannot seem to find the new version. Thank you so much for putting up with me guys, means a lot! Sorry for the people I offended with my lack of knowledge! Forums are new to me, looks like I got some brushing up to do! :cool:
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Umm, if you check, the new leaked firmware usually needs to run twice. Once for the bootloader and once for basically everything else. If you are running things twice and getting bricks, you are doing something wrong.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

When you run the RUU, it will update your hboot to 2.21 in the process.
[HTC Rezound] T Greezy:
Ok, I'll keep you guys updated! I'll give it a go!
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
Just want to make sure you have the process down before.you start...

Once the RUU is downloaded, you will lock the boot loader, put the renamed ruu on your SD, run the RUU from the boot loader (don't try to flash it like a rom). You will then have to unlock and reflash that new among ra.

Then rock out. Just follow that step.by step closely for the RUU. Its kind of a weird process.
[HTC Rezound] T Greezy:
Ok, so go back to HTC Dev.com and just re-lock? Or is there a tool I should use.

Besides that, I got a great feeling this is going to work!
[HTC Rezound] T Greezy:
Blah, it seems I have ran into a problem. The file for the new RUU I downloaded was corrupt. Anybody got a download link to the 3.11.605.22? Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] T Greezy:
I need a link to the new RUU. All the others are corrupt
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
Are you still stuck today?
[HTC Rezound] T Greezy:
Nope! Got my phone working as new! Updated and everything! :D

YOU GUYS ROCK, THANK YOU.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I had the exact same problem with my phone two days ago. You have to upgrade to the stock ICS first to update the RUU and junk, then re-flash Amon Ra, then install Cleanrom 4.0 or the dev version.
[HTC Rezound] tcinfantino:
Flash the RUU

As said before in the CleanROM thread Scott has a very detailed step by step guide. Just a few pointers before you jump in.

1) make sure you have a card reader for your computer that you can connect your removable micro-SD card to. Trust me, if you screw up somewhere in the process, having a reliable way to access the SD card is a life saver.

2) before flashing always wipe/factory reset 3 times, some think it is overkill, but if you end up with some odd glitch or bug when you just wiped once, you will most likely have to wipe and flash again to get rid of the bug...so of course you are actually saving time and hassle by just doing it 3 times in the first place.

3) make sure your battery is full or almost full before you start the process, you will avoid many problems by not having your phone battery die in the middle of a flash or update.

4) read, read and read again all the information and the instructions on what you are going to be doing, then make sure you understand and are comfortable Before you actually start. Reading through the forums and knowing beforehand what others have experienced, and the fixes, will make your life 100% better while you play with your phone.

Make sure you the phone is locked, flash the RUU...twice, then install the latest AmonRa recovery, then you should be good. Make sure the the RUU worked and that your phone is running everything properly, Then you can wipe/factory reset and flash the new ICS ROM of your choice, I like Scott's CleanROM 4.1.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilusha2007:
today i got my brand old n1 from a guy in korea.

the version on the device is:

build n: cl49208

kernel: 2.6.35.7 g9ea 1023

first thing i have tried to unlock its BL

after reading and figuring out how to set up adb

i am able to see the device in FB and in adb

but when in FB i do "fastboot oem unlock" i get

i have tried it on my mac os x as well as on parallels win 7

and another win 7 laptop with 2 different cables.

what cam i doing wrong?

can it be hardware problem?

thanks to all who cant help!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
That appears to be a mac problem with the fastboot binary. When I searched people had more success in windows.

In windows, make sure the usb drivers are installed correctly.

Search for the fastboot error and read some of the results.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilusha2007:
thank you evilkorn

tho as i mentioned i get this error on my pc laptop as well

im running win 7 32 bit

i have tried letting win to auto instal his drivers which he did instal successfully

as well as removing them and with internet off guiding the wizard to the usb driver dir

what else can i try?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
What version of bootloader is on the phone?

Looks like it has Blackrose installed.

Boot into bootloader, and post the info you're seeing in the top left corner.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilusha2007:
yes black-rose mentioned (2012.02.16)

so im guessing it was silly not to check that i have custom hboot in place

thank you very much! i have spent 4 hures racking my brain

so dos it mean that my BL is unlocked?

i dont have recovery (at least nothing comes up when i boot into it)

can some one point me in the right direction regarding what steps to take to make my phone up to date?

im guessing i need recovery but im not sure which one to use and what is the difference

(my previous phone was sgs and there was only cwm)

also im a bit afraid to brick it, what should i reed before flashing any thing?

what can brick this phone?

again thank you guys so much
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
Blackrose installed doesnt necessarily mean that your bootloader is unlocked. it may or may not be.

regarding recovery, i would suggest 4EXT.

you can either fastboot the recovery.img or else download 4EXT RECOVERY UPDATER app from play store aka market and install the recovery from there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
With blackrose installed, there is no need for either bootloader unlock or s-off.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilusha2007:
ok guys thank you so much

the problem was solved and i have done much reading since

i had so much fun with this device :)

shame google stpoed caring about it, as fully working ics is totaly possible

and its amazing battery life can benefit this device.
[TouchPad General] stupidchicken03:
I've got my TP running CM9 alpha 2. I've always considered getting a keyboard for the TP to take notes in class.

Just saw one of these mini keywords at work:

http://m.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4522373&CatId=142

I know its USB but would it be possible to use a USB to micro USB adapter and get the necessary drivers loaded onto the pad to use it?

Idk of any Bluetooth keyboards as small as the one I linked but if there are, are there any that will work with the TP?

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks :)
[TouchPad General] sean is here.:
You would need a powered USB hub to get it to work. I have the bt kb from HP and its awesome. I think it's cheaper too.
[TouchPad General] reverendkjr:
Check this out.

I just ran through that myself with great success.
[TouchPad General] stupidchicken03:
Do you know the size of it?

The main thing I liked about the one i linked was how small it was. It would be super light and easy to throw in my backpack.

That. Is. Awesome.

Thanks! Rev you're the man haha!

Do you by chance have a link to the "on the go" charger that you were using?

Since ill mainly be using this on the go for class, or maybe on the train to work, a "wireless" setup would benefit me much more.

Thanks again!
[TouchPad General] sean is here.:
Sounds like we've got different priorities. The HP bt kb is pretty small, butb big enough to type on. It's the same size as my 15" laptop kb, so I can still touch type. Smaller than that, and it gets difficult to bang out anything more than a sentence or 2 IMO. Mine would easily fit in a backpack. It's only about a quarter inch thick, except where the batteries go...there it's almost an inch. And the LxW is about 14X4.5 or 5 maybe. I don't have a measuring tape or ruler here.
[TouchPad General] stupidchicken03:
Gotcha.

Ya im just looking for something down and dirty so to speak haha. Idk if I want to pay $40 for the one i listed, so ill keep my eyes open and keep the HP one in mind as well :)
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Sweet, great video and love that you put links with Amazon Prime eligible stuff which I just ordered. Does the Touchpad charge with this method if there is enough current on the 5v line?

I have a Logitech USB gaming controller, I'll have to see if CM9 recognizes it (I believe its HID) and see if I can map its keys in an emulator. Also I imagine one could buy or make a portable USB power supply so this thing is mobile. When near and outlet the OEM HP charger would supply plenty of current (2A) for multiple USB devices. Its regulated so it will put out 5v even at low loads. Keyboards and mice are rated at only 100mA. I don't see why you couldn't hook both a keyboard and mouse into an unpowered USB hub if you are using the HP charger as your main source of USB power for the OTG adapter.
[TouchPad General] reverendkjr:
Unfortunately, it does NOT charge off of this. I really wish it did.
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Got my two cables in the mail today.

It works great with keyboards and mice, unfortunately it doesn't recognize my Logitech USB gaming controller. I tried a powered USB hub instead of the Y cable and all it did was charge the TP using the USB hub's power and no USB devices worked.

I then tried using a non-powered HUB connected on the Y cable using the HP charger as a power supply. It allowed me to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously. So if you want to use more than 1 device get a non powered USB hub. Just make sure your power supply has enough current for all the USB devices. USB keyboards and mice only draw 0.1A so the 2A HP charger is plenty.

Why is nobody selling a unit with all of this built in? A little box with a rechargeable battery built in, an output for OTG microUSB and a few input USB ports.

I can't seem to connect to my work's pptp vpn with my E4GT. It says "Connecting..." then "Unsuccessful".

If it matters, I'm on Calkulin's_E4GT_2_ROM_v1.2.

I've never had pptp problems with android. l2tp seems to have only been fixed recently for me with gb roms (could be my vpn servers were at fault.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
I'm having the same exact issue OP. Just signed up for a VPN service, I'm able to config my Windows machine to use the connection just fine.. On my phone I'm getting "Connecting..." then "Unsuccessful" when I try to connect. I'm also running Caulk's ROM.. same version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbldown768:
I've had no luck connecting to my ddwrt over pptp since getting this phone. My crappy HTC hero used to work but not this phone. From what I could find online it has to due with the dynamic IP that sprint is given my epic. I've read that if you get a static IP from sprint that it somehow doesn't have a firewall blocking these connections, however it is not free. I have not tried this yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TdiGuy:
I have a lg optimus one and depending on my rom depends on if my pptp vpn connects. I was going nuts trying to troubleshoot it and then i set it up on my computer to test there and was able to connect without an issue.

If i use CM 9.2.2 (ics rom) i can connect without a problem.

if i use a custom rom based on 9.2 the vpn does not connect. whats funny is they are both ICS rom's.

After having a broken screen, I ordered a new one and installed it myself... I am very familiar with opening phones and replacing digitizets etc...after the new install the back lights on the bottom of the screen don't light up and neither do the keyboard back lights...I'm thinking it may be a software issue and am about to sbf but idk if this is a known issue or if there's a fix??

is this worth it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
I haven't tried it.. and i wouldn't.. it doesn't even come with a separate charger!

I would get an anker battery or the galaxy nexus battery and you don't need to have a bulky back cover.

This is something you use everyday, invest a little more on your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] novasource:
I have an HTC Evo 3D. Just got it 2 days ago, have all HTC and firmware updates installed. Then unlocked it using the HTC unlocker. Verified it's unlocked because bootloader says *** UNLOCKED ***.

Installed WiFi Tether 3.1-beta11 and Superuser by ChainsDD (Nov. 20, 2011 version), the latest versions of each as of today.

When I run Wifi Tether, I get this warning:

Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application.​

I think this is because Wifi Tether isn't invoking Superuser.

I had another Evo 3D before this one. (Warranty replacement.) I had the Fresh ROM on it, and Wifi Tether worked fine. I also think I had it working fine before I had Fresh but after I did the HTC unlocker. When I ran WiFi Tether, it would run Superuser as one of the first things it did. Now, again, it doesn't run Superuser at all.

Am I missing something?
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
are you sure you're completely rooted? try downloading root checker from the market and see if you're rooted. Maybe it didnt stick the first time or you have to re-root it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csirac:
Yesterday as I started my day, i pulled my GN from its charger (99%) and made my journey to uni. The trip takes about 50 mins. For the past month now Ive been using poweramp and have had no problems. But when i got to class i realised i had like 25% power during my trip and the back of the GN was a bit warm. I closed all programs and the power drain stopped. I was a bit concerned so a few hours later when i tried playing music again on poweramp but nothing drained the power. So maybe it was a freak occurrence?

So I went to bed last night and the phone was fine. something around 80% power. I woke up 5 hours into my sleep to check on my phone (its a bad habit) and went back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. When i woke up i found my phone had discharged a whole lot of power again randomly in that space of a few hours.

So what the hell happened in that time?! All I did was turn the screen on and turned it off. My usage patterns have not changed.

here is an screen shot of my power usage. You can see the first drop of power, thats nothing of concern as i was playing angry birds space before bed. Then you see the straight line as the phone was idle while i was sleeping. The next drop is when I woke up to check my phone and that's when the discharging happens again. Then you see it recovering when i woke up and closed all the background apps in hope that it would stop the power drain..which it did.

View attachment 960707

Anyone have some ideas as to what is causing this?

Also keep in mind that before the first instance of power drain my phone configuration had not changed a single bit besides a light flow lite update the night before.

edit: oh FYI, running stock 4.0.2 on yakju
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
Any apps that you updated or installed yesterday? New rom? Did you make any changes to your phone at all since yesterday?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csirac:
No new apps, but some app updates. I know at least light flow was updated.

this random power discharge is really getting annoying. It happened again today.

A new symptom seems that the video doesnt load on the phone. for example, trying to load youtube or recorded videos saved on my phone.

Originally i thought my 3g was playing up but when it wouldnt load a video i recorded that was a bit unusual. in fact the gallery app froze and crashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Did you search the forum and install CPU Spy and Better Battery stats?

Get some data and find out what is causing wakelocks. Your phone has a lot of "wake" time.

See with CPU spy how much it is spending in Deep sleep and with Better Battery stats look what is preventing it from going into that state. If it's an app: simply remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdiggitydogg:
How's your signal service been lately? I get pretty stank reception at work so my gnex gets pretty warm at the top and battery life suffers. I just put it on airplane mode and reset the radio to force it to chill out for awhile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csirac:
Thanks ill try that. Just installed CPU spy. Is there an alternative to better battery stats? Don't really want to fork out something to debug this.

I originally used OS monitor, and i checked what was running while the abnormal discharge was happening but nothing showed up.

You make a good point about the amount of wake time though. That long stretch where i was sleeping, my phone shouldnt be waking up that much should it? It didnt seem to affect battery life that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csirac:
Reception has been normal (since I'm around the CBD a lot)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Better Battery Stats is the one I use and is recommended here a lot. It gives you insight in the wakelocks from the kernel, as well as from apps. Don't know about the alternatives. It's definately about the wakelocks. Your phone should be in Deep Sleep for 90% or so when you don't touch it (depending on your sync frequency off course).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csirac:
The only account that is sync'ed is my gmail. The other two listed (twitter and dropbox) is turned off. Are there other options to turn the freq of when the phone syncs?

It's so strange because before these problems came about I had good battery life. ie: 3+hours of screen time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
You usually set it at System Settings, accounts & Synchronisation but some apps allow you to set it within the app... There are apps that allow you to make profiles so that, for instance at night, your device turns off all data. I used to use Juicedefender but that was IMHO more a placebo effect then a real improvement.

I definately think you should install the mentioned apps and after such drain re-appeared analyse what happened.
