[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrphz:
As far as I can see form all the posts here, there are obviously several completely unrelated reasons that can lead to such a boot loop on different ROMs.

In my own case (Enomther's 1.9.2, every 1-3 days without obvious reason), Sytrant was not the problem, or at least not alone, as I got the boot loop again last night without Sytrant running. From stability tests before I had massive amounts of threads running and the memory always nearly full, so it could still be that it only occurs when RAM is scarce, but a single extremely large process is not the reason.

While I was too sleepy to get dmesg or logcat to the SD card, I managed to catch a glimpse at dmesg using OSMonitor. I found there that dmesg was flooded with always the same error message from ActivityMoitor.java. I couldn't memorize it exactly, but it had to do with StringTokenizer unexpectedly not finding any tokens.

In my case, taking out the battery always helps, and if I have enough time before the next iteration starts, I can also use the reboot item from the power button menu, and everything is ok again.

So much for the update. I'll try to solve it with the Enomther experts in the Enomther's ROM thread and post here again if we find a solution.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
Theory:

I read elsewhere here that there is a known 'notification bug' that triggers a crash when the notification sound fires but there is no audio file associated with the notification. Essentially, android wants to play the notification sound when it mounts the SD card on startup, tries to play a non-existent sound, gets a null pointer exception and crashes.

What would happen if I select "Sync Settings with Google" where I had previously synced but now my SD Card has been formatted and my old notification sounds no longer exist? Would the sync set my notification sound to a file that is no longer there and thus trigger the crash loop?

Is there a way to clear your sync data with Google?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
In my sequence of events, the initial crash was just after I had started syncing with google. However, a little after, I did the following:

Boot into Bootloader = OK

Clear Storage = OK

Booting = Hanging at X

Pulled Battery (3rd time)

Booting = Hanging at X

Several battery pulls later back at home screen, setup WiFi connection = CRASH!

BLOD!!!!

Would the Clear Storage not have wiped my synced Google data and therefore returned me to a stable state on reboot? My boot loop continued after.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
For some users the problem is with their actual Google account, not the data stored on the phone... like the actual account in the cloud.

Use a completely different/new Google account (i.e. different @gmail.com) as see if you can replicate on a fresh wipe/install.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
I got the BLOD without having a Google account set up on my phone yet. The more I read about this problem and compare it against when my problems started (after the first time I flashed the new Froyo radio) I am becoming convinced it is radio related.

Sent my N1 back to HTC this morning. If my replacement wasn't stolen out of the DHL package before it arrived yesterday I would have had a new one to play with already, now my 3rd device is on its way - maybe 3rd time lucky?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chiger:
I got the BLOD when I tried to install an app from the market, had to cancel the app.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
I am probably going to be flamed for saying this but I must say I am quite dissapointed at my experience thus far with Android's apparent lack of 'integrity' as an OS.

I have tweaked many phone OS's and played with custom roms etc for several years on those devices and fully understand that sometimes applications crash, that is life, but for an app to take down the entire OS is worrying. I am hoping my experience was hardware related and that my new N1, with the delivery courier as we speak, will prove my experience thus far wrong.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrico:
For me this only happens with ROMs that are using a .33.5 or .34 kernel.

CM 5.06 worked just fine (32 kernel), but all new ROMs with .33.5 or .34 kernels are causing problems.

When using stock Froyo it's working fine (32 kernel), but when I flash either a 33.5 or a .34 kernel the problem is back.

Using Froyo radio.

About the google account/sync whatsoever: I get the problem without singing in, singing in, and even signing in with a google account that's brand new to android. So I don't see this problem having anything to do with an app or google account.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
Got my new phone yesterday. Will use it with the stock image for a few days to make sure it works ok and then will start the whole upgrade process again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrico:
Can more people confirm that this only happends on a 33.5 or 34 kernel?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
Update:

I now have a brand new N1, unlocked, rooted and running CM508 and it is working well - no crashes or unexplained reboots yet. "Touch wood" but it seems my problem has been solved.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justbabu:
Well, that running with the stock image lasted all of 36 hours. :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSigler:
Mine has only done it on 34
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
What can I say, I got impatient and decided to jump in at the deep end :o
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
OP here, just an update to say I managed to solve my BLOD and that in my case it seems the kernel was at fault. I originally had the issue from CM 5.0.6 upwards, whether Kang-o-Rama or just stock CM (numerous wipes/installs). I would get it a few times a day using K-o-R but less with stock CM. Eventually I tried Enomthers 1.9.2 which was the most stable of the bunch, however, it would start rebooting every night when charging. In an attempt to solve things I tried removing apps, different launchers, themed and unthemed etc. but the issue still remained. It wasn't until I flashed IntersectRaven's 33.5 kernel that my issues were miraculously solved. Not a single reboot in a week!

While I can't say this will solve everyone's issues, I do recommend looking into trying out different kernels and seeing if there is any improvement. From the conversation above, it seems that others are noting that different kernels are yielding different results in regards to the BLOD.

I will test more ROM/Kernel combinations in time and post back any interesting findings.

For now though, I'm going to do a Nandroid Backup and hope for the best! :D

Regards.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrico:
I'll go ahead and confirm this.

I've been trying out both 800mv BFS and 925mv CFS, both 34 kernel. Both running fine atm, after playing for 10+ minutes still no reboot. Normally it reboots within 5 minutes for sure. So I have good faith.

No idea why this 34 kernel does work, and other 34 kernels I've tried don't.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrico:
And to add:

Running 2.6.34_AVS-925mV_CFS_1113MHz_NoAudBoost_061910.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=693375 atm.

Been running it for a few hours now, and no problems.

So there must be a difference between this kernel and lets say pershoots 34 kernel. Maybe someone can find out what.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
Any update? Really hope this has worked for you aswell. I had most of my issues using Pershoots OC/UV kernel but it doesn't explain the reboots on stock Cyan and Enom. :confused: Anyway, at least we're on the right track.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedwa:
I have had a few issues since going to the 1228 mhz kernel, but since I set the mhz in set cpu to 1113, it hasn't rebooted like that again. I'll keep you guys updated. My bootloop was temporarily remedied with a battery pull but nothing else. I do however believe that my kernel is a modded pershoot kernel.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrico:
Still working great.

The reason why stock Cyan (and maybe Enom too, but haven't tried that one) is because the newer versions of Cyan come with a 34 kernel. 5.06 (with 32 kernel) runs smooth, but 5.08 (with 34 kernel) causes the problem for me.

Let me know if you also were talking about 5.08.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
Update:

My new device has now been running CM508 for 3 days with no reboots or instability of any kind. Seems that my problem was hardware related after all.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrico:
Could someone with techinical expertise take a look why pershoot's 34 kernel causes people to have reboots, as well as some other kernels, and why IntersectRavens or wildmonks 34 kernel don't cause these problems.

I'd really like to see a solution to this, since more and more people are noticing this problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
Just to confirm again after more testing it was definitely the kernel that was causing the issue for me. I reverted to the NAND Backup on which I had the most issues and after the first BLOD flashed IR's .33.5 kernel which then got through 3 days without any reboots. While the issue was happening using one of Pershoot's kernels, it is safe to say that it may have been specific to a couple of releases or due to a conflict with something in Cyanogenmod. I am currently using K-o-R 0.9final which uses a pershoot .34 kernel and I haven't suffered any issues at all. Anyway, I'm free of the problem and my first advice to anyone suffering from the BLOD is to try another kernel!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrico:
Also to confirm again: For me every ROM that's using Pershoot's kernel is causing problems for me.

When I use Wildmonks' kernel it works fine.

There is something our devices don't like about Pershoot's kernel, while 'normal' devices don't have that issue.

So if you want an overclocked kernel, try wildmonks'.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
Have you tried any of pershoot's .34 kernels on froyo? I've been using Kang-o-Rama 0.9 SP1/2 for the past few days now without any problems, using the included OC/UV kernel. Battery life is not great however, so going back to IR, but wanted to give it a few days use first.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryoma Echizen:
I'm a relatively new user to root, with my htc hero cdma rooted since Feburary 2010, but I've been having some problems as of late with my custom recovery image.

When I try to load the Image from fastboot, I get the error "Wrong or no image,":confused: (Among others of the same nature), as fastboot tries to load the image several times, it fails with the same general error. It happens very quickly, so I can't post many details, but if a picture or two is needed for more information, I can provide a few for refrence. I am running Darchdroid 2.6.2, great rom, and I would love to update to the newest image(And Rom).:) I've tried booting into recovery several times, but it bootloops at the HTC logo. I've tried booting from fastboot and DS updater, but the same bootloop occurs, probably because the error is ongoing at fastboot. I've tried flashing multiple images and from using flashrec, I get a command line error. I've flashed many through command line, and the same error occurs.:confused:

Can Anyone help me out, or knows what's going on?

PS: If it helps, I have all of the fastboot device stock, EX: radio is the stock 1.0.4 and the touch panel is the stock touchpanel, etc.

Try a different card. Your current ROM should have absolutely no effect on nandroids.

Ok I will try it, thanks. That could be the problem, since I switched sd cards recently. I am not getting the run via adb error, I am getting an error on fastboot that says; wrong or no image.

"Wrong or no image!"

Can you message zenulator or anyone who you know who might be experienced in this problem.

For some reason, I get the same error. :(

Checking sdcard...

Opening HCTDIAG.zip...

No image!

checking HCTDIAG.nhb...

Wrong or no image!

If you think the log would help, I can email or message it to you. I have been trying all kinds of commands for the last three hours, and no luck...:(

There may be one error though...

When I try to install apks (I have a mac), I get the error as follows, ex: can't find Browser.apk to install.

Maybe has to be in the operating system area, not sdcard?

Anyways, forget about this. I just need to get a working recovery image. Any advice on how to access recovery via adb, like maybe, "reboot recovery" though I doubt this will work, considering that it is just another way to boot into my broken recovery mode w/out an image, or the apparent, "wrong image!":confused::confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryoma Echizen:
Broken Root???????

How do I do this, since I am running a rom that doesn't have htc sync??? Should I factory data reset and place a backup folder w/stock sprint 2.1 leaked on the sdcard so the boot will retrieve that and boot that data, since the whole operating system is extracted onto that backup? I don't really know how to run ruu's, and I don't want to run the risk of bricking my phone.:confused:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] okmd:
In looking at the apps recommendations, I notice people really like Ringdroid. I can't get it to work.

It loads fine, sees the MP3s on my SD card, saves the new ringtone file to the appropriate folder, and then assigns the new ringtone to the contact of my choosing. But when they call, the phone uses my default ringtone.

I've tried it several times now, including deleting and reloading the app, with the same result. Since the initial process seems to work without a problem, it seems like I'm missing something simple, a checkbox somewhere.

I've emailed ringdroid support without any response other than an automatic response to check the FAQ. The FAQ does not address my issue.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue? Not having assigned ringtones is the last thing I miss from WM. I've looked at other ringtone apps that want you to download the MP3s, but they never have the songs I want and the songs are already on my SD card anyway.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks, OKMD
[Desire General] mhurg:
Hello, my wife and I recently bought a Desire each and while my screen is quite a bit pink compared to hers (I'm getting it swapped), my wife's is, when put next to mine, quite faded. The dark is not so dark and the colours generally don't pop as much. She has used the phone a couple weeks longer than I but guess that's of no concern.

Is this due to an error on her device, or is it due to mine being faulty?

Any opinions?

Thanks a lot!

I don't know but I've read on several sites that the main problem with AMOLED displays are the longevity... So maybe these will look faded and lose saturation very fast?? But 2 weeks seems a bit short?? Maybe after a few months it will look terrible I'm not sure.
