Rooted my Hero and it doesn't matter which custom Rom I've tried(Fresh, Damage, others) my phone will shut off most of the time it goes into sleep. I don't know its off until I go to wake it up by hitting the end button. When I restore back to the stock Rom(still rooted) it works fine. I do a wipe and a Dalvick wipe prior to flashing. I'd like to get this figured out so I can use one of the nice Roms. Thanks.
If you're running A2SD and you have the Dalvisk on a slow sd card you phone can reboot or shut off. Try moving it off of the SD

I am not positive what A2SD is. I have a new 8MB SD card that came today. If I pop that in what will happen. Should it be partitioned? Thanks.

Thank God I thought I was the only one. I searched but didn't see your thread. Weird problem.
Same problem here too since the new leaked 2.1 test ruu from damaged. The only 2.1 Rom that works for my needs without rebooting every 3rd or 4th time I wake it using the end call/power button is Damagedtrev 2.01, the updated 2.05 Rom in his thread just makes my phone reboot as described above. I don't have a link to his thread, but it would be interesting to see if it worked on your phone too. Other's have claimed a battery shorting might be causing this issue, but I'm not buying that. I've looked at /proc/lastkmsg for clues, but nothing obvious there. I hope the official Sprint update doesn't have this bug or sprint will be giving me a new phone. /end rant
I can't seem to find Damagedtrev 2.01
So I can't test it.
Here's the link to the thread.
I cannot post links, because of some restrictions,but here is the last part of the url.

here's the link for the full rom
Oops cannot post link to rom on 4shared, look in the bottom of the first post in the thread for a link to the full rom of DamagedTrev_v201
Please let us know if the rebooting stops for you. Maybe one of the devs could find where the problem is. Pretty please!! I could post any info needed.
Ok, downloading......stay tuned.
I really hope this 2.1 ROM works.....I'm kinda sick of 1.5.
Edit:
P.S. I'm reading that there is a battery issue....do you have that?

Hey good news. I put the new SD card in after backing up the other one, partitioned it and copied the files and folders back on then flashed ALOYSIUS and so far so good. I have woken it up about 10 times in a row. Looking good.
I had tried that perticular Rom before with no success.
Interesting.....I'm using the 2 gig sd card that came with the phone....I wonder if that is my problem?
Well it started again. This was right after setting my Gmail and POP3 mail accounts. It shut off on the first sleep after this. Hmmmmm.
I'm re-flashing now and not setting up the mail accounts. Will report back later.

Well, my friend. You were correct! full rom of DamagedTrev_v201 works on our phones for some strange reason. And updating his ROM caused the re-booting to start again. So whatever was changed from 2.0.1 to 2.0.5 is causing our particular problem. I'm not a dev by any means and don't know much about his stuff, but this is encouraging. Perhaps someone can figure out what it is?
I did notice that ALL the other 2.1 ROM's I have used that cause my phone to re-boot from sleep mode, is that when I hit the menu or power button to turn it on, the lights turn on, then reboot phone. With DamagedTrev_v201 that doesn't happen. The screen just pops up to unlock it.....don't know if that helps, it's just something I noticed.
Heres to crossing our fingers that someone can fix this!
P.S. I wiped and went back to Gumbo 1.5c as that 2.1 ROM was way to slow for me and I couldn't get bluetooth to work and audio would cut in and out.
reboot
i would like to know if its a full reboot or just a soft like where it hes to the sprint or boot animation

It's a full reboot. The phone actually turns off when it goes into sleep. You don't know it's off until you hit the button to wake it up and the phone boots up.
Now for the good news. After re-flashing and not setting up the email accounts it was still shutting downconfused so I started looking elsewhere so I opened up what I thought was a likely culprit in Autokiller and none of the presets where selected so I picked Moderate and haven't had a shutdown since which has been over an hour. Fingers are crossed. I'll report back later.
That's it I've wasted way too much time on this. Phone works great on the stock ROM. They must have planted some devious anti-flash widget in this phone. I'll leave it rooted for now.
patkin, dude, I felt the same...I gave up on 2.1.
download, wipe then flash Gumbo-1.5c-BARE-signed.zip after it reboots, download and flash Gumbo-Sense-signed.zip.
You flash Gumbo-Sense-signed.zip over the Gumbo-1.5. No need to wipe or anything, it just adds to the ROM. Fast as hell and works PERFECT.

Glad to see your rebooting issue was fixed with this rom even though you went back to gumbo 1.5. In my mind, this just confirms that it is not a battery issue. I never use bluetooth and have never experienced any audio loss with this rom, but apparently even people on the same hardware and firmware versions have different problems.

Yeah, got my phone beginning of march 2010 and I also think there is something in the 2.1 test ruu or hardware that is keeping the phone from functioning properly with an altered 2.1 rom.
Just wanted to let people know what happened to resolve this. I went back to 1.5 then when 2.1 official came out last week I said what the heck if I can't enjoy a rooted custom 2.1 I'll try the official and guess what. Same problem as the other 2.1's.........phone shuts off randomly! Except this time they are replacing it with a new phone. Yeaaah! I'm probably going Evo now though since I found out I can get a new phone. Anyone need a new Hero?

What lights up? screen? notification light? hardkeys?
Well let's see:
-Never in Winmo: that's mean your hardware works
-It's not build (Android build), rom(WM rom), or radio related. if you said so, there is nothing else to take the fall for.
Conclusion: ghost.
yes a ghost, now let's get real enough fooled around.
My backlight jumps on every now and then, in android, I'm currently using the disire HD rom, but I noticed it on other roms too, that my screen lights up for no reason at all. I woke up a few times when my phone led up, don't know what is causing it.. when charging it does it, I don't know if it does it when it's in my pants, I hope not, but I'm not sure, that could cause battery drain.

+1 on this one.. I have the same issue, and I don't think it's because of battery drain, because I've had it light up both when the battery is outside the notification-range (even 70%+) and when the phone is charging.
I have thought that it might be related to wifi falling out and temporarily connecting to mobile and back, but I have yet to see evidence of this.
Hopefully someone else have this "problem" (more an annoyance really ) and that we can get some more data on when or why it's happening.
It is not because of wifi because I disable it at night
Have you think of any apps that you installed can trigger that?
Setcpu maybe? Otherwise I have no idea

Ok so I'm having issues with a black screen on wakeup. The phone's still on and it's sleeping but hitting the power button won't bring up the lockscreen, so I have to pull the battery and restart the phone.
I'm on DK28 and I was running Mammon's Bonzai ROM. I thought the issue was ROM related so I flashed the previous version of it, but same issues. Continuing to think it was ROM related I flashed Nebula ROM. Same thing.
Could this be caused by LauncherPro? It's the only constant between all the ROMs I've flashed because it's one of the first things I load up. Could it be any other apps that I have loaded on the phone?
Any help would be much appreciated.
So I uninstalled LauncherPro but it seems I'm having the same issue.
I'm out of ideas.
it's got to be a dk28 bug because I was having that problem as well from a fresh dk28 install. It also happens sometimes on the roms i mess around with. (dk28)
I've done some playing around and come to see that I can turn the screen on and off as many times as I want when I first load up. The issue doesn't begin until gmail backs up all my apps and I set up my phone the way I like to have it. So I know it's definitely application related.
I'm starting to have an inkling that it's being caused by Taskkiller. I remember someone posting something about not using task killers with Froyo but I can't recall where or the reasons why. I'll try not running task killer for a while and see if this might be the cause.... if this doesn't fix it I have no idea what to do...
My phone will randomly shut down and will not power back on unless I pull the battery, I have 2 batteries and it happens with either one. It does not shut down while on charger/dock. I have wiped the phone multiple times with odin, I've used several different roms/kernals,same results every time. Just curious if anyone else has been experiencing this issue.
I've been experiencing this after I went to eb13 with the custom kernels that are out. But my.phone will either lockup and I have yo pull the battery or it will reboot itself. Never had what happens to u yet.

Permanent sleep
I may have experienced a similar problem, running a DK28 based kernel with both Quantum 2.5 & 2.7 ROM's.
When the phone sleeps and you're not able to wake it, do the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen still light up? If they do then I have had the same issue. I could only narrow it down to restoring apps+data or putting the phone in sleep while an app is running. Once it was the result of putting the phone in sleep after a FC.
I can only posit that it MAY be an ext4-only ROM related issue, considering I did not have the above situation occur with rfs ROM's or rfs/ext4 dual ROM's. In addition this was only limited to DK28 for me. I was off DI18 <16hrs after I bought the phone. The DK28 gps issue was a non-factor as well, occurred whether gps worked or not.
before updating to 2.2 - I did the DK28 and now the EB13 one - with 2.1 I would have my phone randomly reboot - I would be sitting there and here the music it makes when it starts up but I never turned it off?
other times it would just be turned off, but when I turn it back on the abttery is not low enough to cause it to turn off
all this went away with DK28 2.2 and hasnet happened since I installed EB13 2.2
This happeed to me the other morning. I wasn't able to boot until I reflashed the kernel. Twilight frozen btw.

My first epic would randomly hard power off, even running stock ROMs. If you are running a stock ROM and seeing a hard power off at random, I suggest you go swap the phone. It's just broken.
Ive never had this problem and im on my first and only epic and ive had it since it came out,
Ive been very careful with my epic as it has been great to me, it hates me probaly tho for feeding it stuff while experimenting things that make it spit up FCS,
But my phone has been always working perfect, all the way back to d118.

the buttons don't stay lit, i'm using twilight kernal right now but was happening with genocide kernal too, going back to eclair just to eliminate 2.2, ext4, etc.. to see if it's a hardware issue
First try
dk18 update.zip flash
Restored apps and data with my backup pro root
Random reboots, FC
Second try
Odin to dk18
Wipe x3
Restored apps and data with mybackup pro root
FC, music player force closing (doubletwist, stock and musicmod, poweramp worked though?), fc when trying to change ringtone or notification.
Started reading about others with the same issues and thought data backups were a reoccuring theme. Did a third try tonight and so far so good. Music players working, no force closings, keyboards working correctly, gps lock indoors. Its still early, problems might still popup, thought id share...
Latest froyotempt
Fresh backup with mybackup pro root
Wipe x3
odin eb13 prerooted (ctsy xda forum) same file from attempt 2. Did this x3 as well, read it in a thread somewhere...
backup apps only with mybackup pro root
All attempts were with genocide kernal.
So far so good, none of the previous bugs are apparent, so far... Those of you that are on the fence regarding doing the same, so far its worth the time.

That used to happened to me on eclair when I set my setcpu profiles too low when screen off. You wouldn't happen to be using setcpu would you?
actually I am, I have my minimum down to 200 MHz, going to raise it and see if that helps
@400 MHz did it again, trying 800
I'll add to this thread. I seem to be having the same problem and I believe it started when I installed quantum rom... but I'm not sure. The symptoms i had were random reboots, where the screen would shut off and the 4 lights would stay on. Then I would have the sound of lost signal as if my phone rebooted and was starting over. Also, the most recent problem I get is my phone completely shuts off and I need to battery pull to get it to start up, and it loops on the splash screen of my rom. I have tried doing a complete odin wipe and not restoring anything and I believe it is still happening...

Any update?
Also, make sure the governor isn't "powersave". If you have 100-400MHz powersave governor, it still ONLY runs at the lowest speed (100MHz), even if it's 100-400MHz.
Still happening, not on powersave, doesn't matter what settings I have in set cpu. Did a hard reset back to 2.1 and it still happens, bringing it in for repair.
Does anyone have a logcat from their dead transformer, during/around the time when it died?
Has anyone noticed any trends in when it happens? I saw something about 82% battery but I think that's just a coincidence.
Please post here so we can get to the bottom of this.

I think this is dev, unless it's a hardware issue. But hopefully we'll be able to discern that.
I have had multiple sleep of death issues after rooting. When I flashed back to the stock Blob, they stopped. Every time I root to Blob V5 (I am on the most recent firmware), they come back. I tried MoDaCo's Rom - they still occurred. Trying Prime's Rom now - so far it's working without any sleep of deaths.
I was on MoDaCo's Hr4 for a few days and never had a sleep of death. Since installing Prime 1.2 I've had 3 or 4.
Since we've had completely opposite experiences I think we can safely rule out that this issue is ROM related.
I've used both those roms and never had a sleep of death. But I also used the root method without the v5 blob, just the standard GingerbreakBB.
I've had one sleep of death incident, using unrooted stock Transformer configuration.
mine case: downgrade back to 8.2.2.6 using SD method (EP101_SDUPDATE.zip) then Gigerbreakbb then the BLOBV5 => lots of SOD issue.
May be we must update to the latest 8.2.3.9 before break using gingerbreakbb and install BLOBV5?
BR
Blob 5 is made to work with 8.2.3.9... It will most definitely have issues with the old firmware.
I am beginning to think the issue is with one of my apps and its settings. When I am rooted, I use Titanium Backup to restore my data and maybe the reason for the SOD is because something in an application isn't playing nice with Honeycomb... Obviously when I am not rooted, I cannot restore the settings and thus no SOD.
I just flashed back to root with Blob V5. Going to see if there are any SOD issues before installing apps... Will probably install one by one to try to see if I can find the problem - A PITA, but I really want the SOD to stop.

Other threads are pointing to the WiFi scanning be enabled. I have flashed back to MoDaCo Hr4 (because it was more stable for me than Prime 1.2) and also disabled WiFi notifications and will report back if/when I get a SOD.
Unrooted, getting about one or two of these a day depending...... seems to happen more if I've left it sleeping for an hour or more.

this could relate to wifi scanning as well. were you connected, and what are your current settings?
Thanks for participating everyone, so far there isn't a conclusive answer.
However, could someone install log collector from the market, and leave it there until the BlackSOD happens, and then upload the file? that would be super awesome. preferably someone who gets them all the time. if the last thing in the logcat is consistently wifi-related, then we're on to something.
is there any firmware version on which NOBODY has EVER had a BlackSOD? This could be worth looking in to as well.
Well, I rerooted and have installed about 80% of my apps. So far no SOD. I have a few more apps to install and I usually freeze some of the unwanted apps. Will post an update later. Also, I read on other forums that fancy widget caused issues like this on other tablets. I had been using beautiful widgets I wonder if the way that tries to access wifi causes issues.
The apps I have yet to install are:
Watchdog lite, beautiful widgets, adfree android

I've had 2 so far, both with Hr4 and blob v5. Battery has been at different levels, so I think thats a coincidence.
Has anyone tested on a 100% Factory reset device (either with a custom or stock ROM?) That should help rule out any apps which may cause the problem.
FWIW, never had this issue (have run Stock, HR1 -> HR4 & Prime V1.2)
so far no SOD after a clean tstart
Had a SOD this morning on Hr4 so I will run Log Collector today and hope to catch another. I'm assuming that Log Collector is continually writing to my Gmail draft so it should be there after the full reboot? Doesn't seem like it will let me mirror logcat to a file on sdcard...

I realize this isn't the least bit helpful, but after having several SoD issues, and trying all the fixes (and then undoing them), I haven't had the issue for a week now. Mine would do it sporadically -- it would happen once in a day, and then 3 times in a day -- and the only thing I've left changed is disabling the lock screen, but I think that's just coincidence. This will be a hard one for Asus to nail down.
Hopefully someone produces a helpful log for Asus, I'm sure some non-XDA people may think they have a dead tablet rather than one they have to force power down and reboot.

So it does not seem that this app will work because it only collects logs in real-time, does not store them for later analyzing. What else can I use other than leaving adb logcat running?
