[help]g2 always reboot when i open camera - myTouch 3G, Magic General

hi, I have just bought a htc g2 magic(TIM). I got a very terrible problem as the title says, it aways reboot itself when I try to use the camera.
I have tried several ROMs, but I still get this problem though other ones told me that it is ok for them.
Is it a hardware problem or software problem or other?
the following the detals of my phone(if any other information you need, please let me know):
SPL info:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0008 (SAPP 10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17

RECOVERY info
Build: RA-sappphire-v1.5.2H
really appreciate for any help

Maybe your cam is brokken so when you try to access it you get hit with a FC,

not sure. but not crash every time. if you try it after rebooting, it is ok for a short time.

Have you tried any sense or 2.0/2.1 roms?
They have cam drivers now so give those a go.

thank you for your info. but i am really a newbie here.
i don't understand the sense and rom, could you be so kind to provide me a link or sth.?

You don't say which ROM you are using. There are quite a few Magics that have the reboot problem with the Donut 1.6 ROM, mine included. T-Mobile was replacing them. See this link:

You can flash a 1.5 ROM like I did. The camera works fine but I gave up voice directions in Google Maps and Voice Google search.

TIM camera reboot
sorry that i pick up so old thread but.
Does anyone found a fix for this problem?
I also have a TIM HTC Magic black with red border and another black HTC magic with silver border.
On TIM's one there is a problem with random reboots when using camera on 2.1 eclair roms (i've tried a lot of roms - random reboot when using camera on all)
With silver magic there is no problem
It looks like the problem is only on TIM magic.. maybe different hardware.
Also, as described above on 1.5 rom (I've tried CursorSense 1.2.6.1 which is cupcake) there is no problem with camera.
is there solution for 2.1 based roms ?

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Same with my Rogers Magic. Only 1.5 roms are okay.
The problem is that Rogers hasn't rolled out a 1.6 or greater ROM. Once they do I can complain, but before that they'll say that I hacked it and it's my fault.
There's a ticket for this issue with cyanogenmod, have a look here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=792

a sad update.. now both cameras died...
ok
i dont know if its related (still could be dodgy hardware) but i updated the hard spl to 1.22 in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2786065&postcount=439 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730 and my front camera is back.. for how long lol, i do not know..
give it a try, let me know if it makes a difference
What do you know? It worked!
Thanks a lot!
I had the "old" 1.22 hardspl and kept loosing the front camera after a while too... Most of the time I didnt even noticed because I dont use it at all.
Now I have this one (and didnt even had to hard-reset the device), working on the clean black rom v1.
ok, i tried with new hardspl bur nothing. then i tried updating with the new official wwe rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464176 and i recovered at least primary camera...
i'm tempted to call HTC assistance but i'm afraid they will keep my device for a month or more... :-(

are you sure you updated the spl right? (power on device while holding in camera to double check the version).. what radio version have you got? try 1.71.09.01K radio and a compatible rom, like the newest lilly or clean black rom.
im convinced its nothing more than a conflict between spl, radio and rom versions.

I think you mean HTC 32A Magic don't you?
Cyanogen's roms should work fine on your phone. Can you give us more details on what went wrong?
i seem to have gotten it to boot...i wiped it to factory from the recovery menu and that seemed to do the trick i do have a few questions though...so what i am doing first is installing a rooted base and then installing some rom overtop of that? how do i get all the neat features like tethering and such?
alright everything seems to be running alright now...the only problem i'm having is that i can't conect to any wireless networks....it just doesn't connect :S any ideas what that could be?

Right so it's the original mytouch. I suggest you grab a rooted ROM based on the Froyo update that was rolled out by tmobile a couple of days ago.
As for swype, it's a closed beta. There are installers floating around, but they're illegal for people to distribute, not to mention you need a new build every so often.

I tried to install v6 at first, then flach v8 (without wipe) and there are still no wallpapers!
When I open 0001_WildPuzzleROM_v0.8.zip from the PC .. I see wallpapers there.
So they didn't copy during the installation?!
if it matters I root my phone with AlphaRev. In the moment I'm with recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0.zip + recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-buzz.zip
see that:
Baseband version:
11.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
Kernel version:
2.6.32.21-g8f75634
I did not go on cus I'm not sure is everything is going to be ok.

You're not alone. I have same problem, too. There's a lot more missing things like setup wizard, input languages other than English, etc... Not just wildpuzzle, same situation applies to some other custom roms I tried.
Weird thing is that there's no problem with old wildpuzzle 8.0.11. Maybe some dev would come out and compare it with others to find out what's wrong.

@bynge: It doesn't matter even if you flash a ruu dude, I tried it. There's no problem with wildpuzzle 8.0.11. So in your words, does this mean wildpuzzle developer's work is better than stock?
Anyway, do you have any solution to the situation, or...?

Same problem with the rom Jokerdroid and DK. I have noted that also the tone gallery in empty (if i open the stock notification editor for incoming calls i found the tones, when i search for them with other applications like alarm clock i can only use the downloaded ones)

Yes, and in my view, it is. If you cannot offer a solution, atleast don't troll.
Solution:
Install old version (131.9mb) -> everything is OK.
flash new v8(126.3mb) without wipe and still OK (wallpapers and scenes)
now tested other things.

100%.
The things that are limited by stock version will be overcomed by dev software.
Personally i got S-OFF, bluetooth wireless pan tethering (kernel dependent) , live wall papers, better battery, and many other things.....
If everyone tells what they got benefited by dev software, then the list will be really huge.....
I also heard that wifi N and newer htc sense got enabled in devices that are not supported by stock (not sure about sense). Depends on what u consider. IMO, like i said 100%.

Try to compare the update-script files of both, and see if there is any part "missing" or something.
If both are alike/the same, then create a recovery-logfile just after flashing the latest wildpuzzle rom. Perhaps it will clear some things.

Could it be a problem related to AlphaRev?
this morning i've flashed an ruu stock rom and the problem is still here: empty htc wallpaper.
I doubt this is a wildpuzzle bug cause I've never flash one of those rom (only cyanogen, jokerdroid, dk).
the only things in common are alpharev and clockworkmode (i'm using cwm2.5) but the latter is out there since too long to discover a bug just now.
I restore stock and no problem ..
did you restore stock through recovery or the executable ruu?

I flashed ruu via fastboot using pc49img.zip method and problem is still there. Exe file always interrupted by battery lower than %30 error no matter what is battery level.
And yes, it's not a wildpuzzle related error. It happens in all custom roms and ruu except wildpuzzle 8.0.11.

A few questions

Hello everybody.
I am new to the board - well, to posting at least. I have been browsing for information for a while and with thanks to threads here, managed to root my hd2 successfully, but a few things are still not working for me properly, so I have a few questions
---
1. I had to ring a company earlier today, which was an automated service and upon them requesting I click a certain number to be redirected to where I wanted, I clicked and it had no impact on the call - they just said they did not recognize a request and continued to repeat the question.
So, does anybody know the setting I need to change to fix this?
---
2. I am in the UK and on my old phone, a blackberry (Don't worry, I have seen the light now!) I could get decent connection, even when not in an WiFi area, therefore using 3G. With the HD2 however, even by changing the radio settings in the *#*#4636#*#* I am never able to get a decent signal outside of a WiFi zone.
I am using the Radio from these forums. The Leo one with the exe being named RUU_CUSTOM. I will try and find it later.
Is the problem with the radio and I need a UK specific one? I have tried GSM (all variations) from the menu stated, which is out local frequency I believe, but with no success.
Or am I missing something else?
---
3. My Android ROM was made for a NEXUS ONE (The gingerbread one), so could this be causing the problems above?
I had to use this one because I could not find another one which would work using CWM.
I tried numerous and after installing, it would not load due to "Kernal Load Error" - so I had to settle on this one.
My partner is American and has an HD2 also, but her's is the American model, and she has no problem installing the mass of the ROM's available around these boards. Could the fact my model is the UK one, make any difference? I would not assume so, but it seems there is a difference somewhere.
Does anyone know the reason for these points?
I thank you all in advance for any help you provide.
-Luke
Radio 2.15.50.14 is the recommended radio for using Android. I'm not too sure about the UK, but I've used my American HD2 on both Tmobile and FarEasTone [ Taiwanese carrier] without any problems, so it *should* work for you too.
The Nexus One build is one of the best Stock Gingerbread ROMs available for the HD2. That shouldn't be the problem. I'm guessing the problem is you might be using the wrong radio. I recommend flashing back to stock WM 6.5 and starting fresh.
Also, there's tons of ROMs available for CWM! However, as you have the UK model, I suggest staying away from a Sense ROM, as they require an ext4 on your sdcard for your model, and that's always been laggy for me. Try MIUI, CM7, or stick with the Nexus build is my suggestion.

I just looked at my phone and the ROM I am using is GRJ90 (NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9 NAND), which I agree, works well other than these couple flaws, which are not necessarily related to the rom.

Ok, I am new to all of this and it took me multiple hours just to get android to run on this, but I did the NAND install, so I do not have the WM on my phone, even as a dual boot option.
I will perhaps try to find one though, should I not be able to find the answers anywhere else first

I did try the CM7 ROM (TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-cLK), but that came up with the kernal issue too. I did try a fair few more, but they all did the same until I come to the nexus, so I stuck with it.
May have to take your advice and start the process over again. *yikes*
Oh, okay, radio shouldn't be the problem then.
Do you have MADGLR or cLK bootloader installed? If you have MADGLR, than that may be the reason why that particular CM7 ROM isn't working, as you tried out the cLK version.

Dang it! I did not even notice that, but given I have only rooted one phone, surely I can be forgiven for this slip?
Thanks a bunch. Now I will go try another because you are right, I am using MADGLR.
Thanks again
You may want to look into hd2 toolkit. It makes task29, fashing and installing magldr, clk, and recovery extremly easy. I've had problems with the typhoon cm7 and would not recommend it. Try doing a task 29 and try clk instead of magldr. Clk uses ppp and magldr uses rmnet. Rmnet is haveing trouble but ppp is good. Try a more up to date gingerbread edition for clk and I think that will solve your problems.
The main difference between HD2 UK and American is the amount of internal storage. UK has 512 where Americn has 1024

Some of the Sense 3.0 ROMs have 720p recording. I don't specifically know which ones though.
Just look at a couple threads, the OP should say if 720p recording is supported.
