[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyzzx:
[Q] My boot loops don't taste good...with or without milk...what is the reason?

My real questions are:

Has anybody experienced my experience and how did they solve the issue?

and

Can someone help me diagnose the issue?

I am seeking help on this topic also.

I have battled and one once before but don't know what was the actual fix.

I tried in the past, couple weeks ago, to upgrade to the new 2.3 roms and have had a lot of trouble with the ol' "random reboots". I don't recall what rom exactly that I tried to put on there but I don't believe that the rom was the issue in this situation do to flashing other roms and encountering the exact same reboot issues.

I originally undervolted using vipermod, updated to the new radios from the present "All Radios" post that was grouped together and then flashed a kernal over the rom that I was trying to use.

I got it booted up no problem, went through the setup and then when it was trying to get the reception and/or 3g established it rebooted...the white HTC boot screen appeared and rebooted over and over again.

I tried reflashing the rom, flashing a different rom and so on.

I sort of ruled out the radios after downgrading them and not getting any different results and started to think it was an overheating issue because when I would leave it off for a while it would work longer before the boot party began.

I read something on another thread that when you remove the battery for so long and boot it back up, it clears the internal memory or something similar to that. I searched the market for a boot logger program and found bootlog, I believe that was the name, and checked the log after pulling the battery and letting it boot up all the way. After reviewing the log I noticed that it had stuff like lowmem, deathpening, killing and what not. I then came to the conclusion that it was more than likely the memory, not a clue if it is internal or talking about the temporary stuff that it may store on the sdcard.

I then decided to check out the partitioning of the sdcard. I decided to raise the swap to something like 1 gig and the ext to 2 gig.

I loaded up CM7, nothing extra, and all was good besides maybe one or two reboots that ended up booting all the way up instead of doing the loop at the white HTC screen.

But now, I followed the instructions that was left on http://xdaforums.com/show...1547&page=1161 (no blame to the post or rom, just a reference) so I can try out a new sense rom...and...if you don't know by now...mayhem/boot loops. I cannot upload any of the logs because I followed the partition instructions.

I have upgraded and downgraded the PRI and the radios with no luck, I am now going to try the partition swap size again and report back.

I am writing this prior so I can get some helpful suggestions coming my way in the mean time, in case me and the Captain can't make this happen, or be able to post my method to fix my scenario so others may benefit.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have S-OFF, HBOOT 0.97, radio 2.15.00.11.19

P.S. I didn't see this thread when I looked up this issue, so I posted on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14668890#post14668890 sorry about the double post.
