Anyone out there having the same experience as me?
After unlocking and rooting my N1 I now get frequent, if not regular, soft reboots. It seems that it only when reading or writing a lot of data to or from the SD card (e.g. search the SD card for applications, a full data or app backup to the SD card, reading a large playlist off the SD card etc). It seems to be easy to reproduce and certainly didn't happen before unlocking/rooting.
Part way though an operation the screen will go dark and the phone will reboot from the static Nexus logo.
Am using himem. Allocation problems?
Any thoughts?
Wipe , format sd card. Start over with latest stable ROM.
Thanks, I'll try that.
Is this advice offered because it's a known problem or because it's just the default advice for random problems?
Ive never had any random reboots on mine (running cyan latest right now) I did with some roms on my G1, what rom are you using?

My nook color stays not much longer than 1min after loading all the apps & just after that it reboots. I've tried installing a fresh rom couple of times & wiping each & everything but just after installing all the apps again, it reboots. Have tried both by installing it manually & restoring through titanium backup as well, but same result. It works fine only when I remove my micro sd. I know that some apps doesn't works when installing in micro sd & that's why I've installed all my apps in internal memory. I never faced that issue when I was using Phiremod v6.3 build. Recently after moving into the latest nightly build, this issue occurred. Please tell me how can I resolve this issue? I've been trying to find the solution from so many days but couldn't able to find. Thanks
You could use ROM Manager to restore the last ROM if you did a backup or just reinstall it. I am a little confused about what you mean by loading all the apps. Apps are generally loaded as you use them, not at boot up. When you first boot up you can usually see the SD card icon at the bottom of the screen before it gets mounted. It is possible the card got corrupted. If you don't have anything on it but app backups and it works fine when the card is out you could try reformatting the card on your PC or with a camera that uses micro SDHC cards.
You also might have a misbehaving app loading on startup.
When I first boot the system, the sd card icon shows at the bottom of the screen & disappears after loading all the games from it. After that I can see all my apps & games in app drawer but after a min, it gets reboot. I only have games in sd card, not a single app & neither any app in my internal memory which loads at startup.
Well if the nook boots and runs just fine without the SD-card inserted, then we can be pretty certain that something on the card is messed up. Lot's of possibilities: Corrupted .apk file, partially corrupted file structure on the SD-card itself, Hell it could also be auto-update panicking because it's trying to update an app that has yet to load off the SD-card.
First thing I would try is formatting the SD-card within CM7.
Also try turning off auto-update
If that fails, connect the SD-card to your computer and scan it with windows to check for any file table corruption.
If that fails, it's hard times ahead for you. You'll have to go through the apps one-by-one to see which one is being the little bastard.
Good luck.
Thanx for The help. But all I have on my SD card is just game. Before installing anything on my internal memory, I restored my games backup 1st to my SD card through titanium backup. It was then working absolutely fine. After that I installed apps manually just to see which app is causung error. But all were installed without any problem, used for a while then I manually reboot. Since then I am getting this issue.
Short story: Was running the latest (as of Dec. 4-5) ICS ROM(s) - the ones with the SD card bug - and my SD card appears to be shot.
Long story:
-----
I had been using the various betas of the ICS ROMs since I noticed Tytung's first Alpha was out and the ROMs had been improving rapidly. I guess when the headphones issue was fixed it caused problems with reading the SD Card which was documented and seems to be well known.
The constant SD messages didn't bother me much, but eventually I noticed launch icons missing and went to the Market to re-download one of the apps I use (I've been flashing so much, I wasn't sure which apps I didn't bother restoring). The Market app tells me I need a SD Card to install apps, so I just figured it's just the instability of the sd card mount for this latest batch of ROMs and I'll flash an older ROM off my SD card when I get the chance. I also noticed the messages started saying I inserted a blank SD Card but I brushed it off (couldn't look into it at the time).
I get home and find out Clockwork refuses to mount my card which means I can't easily wipe and install something else, so I switch to USB storage mode in CWM to simply transfer a ROM from my PC and my PC only sees ~30mb of my 16GB SD! I initially thought it was just some corruption but I tried all sorts of format and partitioning programs and nothing recognizes more than 30mb of space and none have even been able to format that little space that's showing.
I've been Googling for a while and came up with nothing I haven't already tried so I finally decided to post here. Is there any hope for my SD card? Being the holiday season and for once I've got most of my Christmas shopping done early, I'd rather not waste the little money I have left to run out and buy another SD card right away if it's not necessary.
-----
Does anyone have any ideas how I could fix this? I'd greatly appreciate it because I now stuck with WM6.5 and realize how much I didn't miss it for the past year
This is also a heads up for testers to be sure to upgrade their ROM ASAP (or at least to the kernel that fixes this) if they're on a ICS ROM with an SD card bug. I'm not complaining - I know this is a part of testing early builds (please ignore my sorry post count; I've been flashing for quite a while) - but there's no reason for others to go through this issue if it can be helped.
Have you tried EaseUS?

Yes,
Try Easus Partition Manager and/or MiniTool Partition Manager.
They can help but you will have to format your SD card I think.
Good luck!
I had the same problem. I plugged my card into a USB reader after it working error free, it then said it needed to be formatted and was only showing 30mb. After formatting repeatedly it still doesn't read. I haven't retired any positioning software but i think the card may just be done with.

probably you'll need a replacement.
have you tried the SD formatter? there's like a 0.000001% chance it will work in your case, but why not try it?
First time posting looking for help!
My nook will freeze when I am installing apps. Usually the problem starts right as the nook is beginning to download or immediately after the program has been installed. I have to hard reset twice to get back to be able to do anything (the first reset always freezes up). I tried reassigning permissions but that didn't seem to do anything I think the lock ups have to do with the SD card Read/write speed as Settings and some File Managers also cause it to freeze.
I am running CM7 7.1 stable on a 8gb class 4 Sandisk SD card.
Help!
Thank you!
I have similar problems.. any insight would be very helpful... maybe rooting the nook color and putting the OS on the emmc would help? I'm currently running a sandisk 32gb class 4.
I've gone through 3 nook colors by now because the recharger cable continuously breaks and best buy refuses to simply replace the cable and instead replaces the ENTIRE SYSTEM (I guess it makes sense from their point of view), so I'm pretty experienced when it comes to rooting and un-rooting/factory resetting the nook, and when I received my latest one I decided to try a dual boot after being slightly impressed by the 1.4 update and enticed by the numerous comics now available on the nook store.
I used this method manually rooting the nook after repartitioning the internal data to the pre-blue dot packages, and finally booted up my old backup through a CWM flashable sd card, then unmounting the sd card while in CWM and then mounting my data SD card. Everything was working really well, and I was very pleased with my nook and it's improved performance and accessibility to the much better stock reading software, while still being able to access kindle and other games
But then, after leaving it alone for a couple of days, i booted it up to play some fruit ninja, and suddenly my nook was unable to read the sd card. It said the card needed to be formatted, and that unreadable file types were found, and oddly enough the stock OS said this as well. Then after a couple of reboots, it could read the SD card just fine. But then, many apps started either freezing on boot, or immediately closing on startup. I tried to boot into CWM recovery, but I kept getting an installation failed screen, and after flashing CWM i was finally able to boot into it just fine.
My only problem now is occasionally apps will again close or freeze, and occasionally the system will reboot by itself or simply force shutdown. Also, it says that my 8gb data SD card has no free space which conflicts with my 385 mb when I plug it into my computer. I'm a little confused.
If anyone could help with my app problems, that would be much appreciated.
Also, Can someone explain the differences between the Internal Storage, /mnt/emmc, and /mnt/usbdisk. I'm confused on what their purpose is considering their different data, and where the dual boot roms are stored.
Thanks and Cheers

You have mentioned about "dual boot".
What is the other ROM you are running now?
What is your uSD brand?
Just looking for some help guys.
A few days ago my phone suddenly dropped from 20mb free space to 4mb and wouldn't stop giving me the warning about available space.
SO I remember this was an issue with people who upgraded to Froyo. So I decided to wipe my phone. after the wipe the phone started rebooting everytime I installed/upgraded an app.
So I loaded up RSD Lite and flashed Froyo on it and the phone now randomly reboots about every 2 mins. I even tried downgrading to eclair, but it just gives me errors when the flash is complete.
So just looking to see if anyone has any recommendations, or is my phone destined for that great recycle bin in the sky?
Hi!
Well, I belive that I may remenber a similar issue some months ago... I dont remenber well how I really fixed and I almost sure that it fixed by reflashing again with froyo, sine this is the only resource that I had to try it out... also seems that when You upgrades to Froyo is not possible to downgrade/return to a previous android version (and it seems that is not only in FlipSide, so seems the same for other Moto models...)
so, by the way, I may suggest... Remove Your SiM and SD memory cards, Put the phone in flash mode an reflash the froyo again, and also backup you personal files from Your SD memory card and erase everything from SD memory card (prefer reformat your SD card) and then when Your phone reboot normal and after an initial setup BEFORE recopy your personal files, AGAIN reformat WITH YOUR PHONE MENU OPTION Your SD card and do an factory restart... may sounds silly so lot of erase and wipes... but in my case, after this such harsh cleanning make my trouble phones working fine and stable again, and after that I restore again my personal files to my SD card.
Good luck and best regards!

THanks, I think you're onto something with the SD card. I remember months ago I had an issue with the phone rebooting if I had this one certain SD card in my phone. Thanks for the help and joggin my memory.
