Sprint hero restarting after 2.1

I have installed several of the 2.1 roms out there. Each one that i install causes my phone to randomly restart. Is this a common issue with anyone else? As soon as I go back to 1.5, the restarting stops.

I am having the same issue on the stock 2.1. The only answer I have gotten from HTC is hard reset. But I have already done this twice. So I am going to root my phone and hopefully get rid of this problem. It only started after I updated to 2.1.

Silly question perhaps, but are you completely wiping data and dalvik cache before flashing any of these 2.1 ROMs? Sometimes this happens if you don't do a full wipe before installing new ROMs.

I'm having the same issue, and I did a full wipe, installed several different roms and finally settled on aloysius

i've had the same problems with every 2.1 rom with the exception of darchdroid.
for me it usually happened after i placed a phone call and tried to hang up
and yes everything was wiped before flashing....

im having the same issue i knew i wasnt the only one, has anyone figured out why this is???

I am getting that error trying to install ZenEXP.

Same issue here, only mine's been doing it out of the box, as I got mine the day the EVO was released. I've rooted it and attempted to install several ROMs hoping to get rid of the issue, but had no luck so far. Never had the luxury of having 1.5, as mine came with 2.1, so I just thought it was the phone, honestly. Interesting to know the issue doesn't occur with 1.5...
Anybody got a copy of the stock 1.5 from original release? I'd like to give it a shot.

I do not have any issues that have been listed here. I am running fresh rom and everything is working great.Just wanted to make sure all views arebeing represented in this thread

hmmm....had a thought, did the phone get really hot when it happened....cause that is what happened when i was on fresh....

You won't be able to go back to the stock 1.5 original. That has been tried already by a bunch of developers here and it didn't work. You would probably be able to flash a 1.5 ROM (browse way back into the Development pages forum here), but since you had stock 2.1, there's no way for you to go back to stock 1.5.
For all the rest of you, not sure why you are getting random reboots, but as mentioned in the previous post, sometimes the Heros do that when they get overheated or overworked. It would be best to root and start with a very stable, non-overclocked ROM. A couple of the most stable and reliable stock-based ROMs here in this section are DamageControl 2.09.1 and nfinitefx45's Stock 2.27.651.6. I recommend you try either of those out if you haven't already -- hopefully that will fix/solve some of your troubles.
Please report back if any if you have success or more problems with these...we want to make sure you get the help you need

overheating is defiantly not whats causing my restarting. im not trying to thread hijack so ill provide a link to the thread i started about this same issue. in my thread i have attached bug reports (i think thats what they are) and now i have stopped receiving help just when i provided the info needed to see whats casuing this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684727
Im not any good at code so i cant read the big reports well. but i believe its a hardware issue because there is a small presentage of people having these errors and i cant seam to get anyone to be able to reproduce this if it doesnt happen to them.

Sorry, I don't understand much of the code myself. And I think a handful of our devs here who understand all that coding have already moved on to the EVO. I read your other thread too but don't know what else to suggest. Wish I could help more. You could just be one of the unlucky few who got a bad, buggy phone right out of the box.
Have you thought about just calling Sprint customer service and asking for a replacement phone? Certainly with all the trouble you're having it may be worth it. I think even if you don't have the insurance plan, a replacement phone is only around $35.

@chromiumleaf, yeah sadly i think its time for a different phone.

Possible ROM/Radio Issues?

Ok, first off I would like to say I am new here and do enjoy what I've seen around here. It is all very nice and I very appreciate the work that has gone into this phone and such.
Ok, my issue, or issues, is this. I recently just flashed the Energy.Leo.21991.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.24 (I believe, I'm not sure if the date is correct but that's the date it says under "ROM date"). I've really enjoyed the ROM except I have been having a few issues with SMS. Like sometimes when it says I'm typing with T9 it will act like it is just doing ABC mode. Sometimes I will click out of the keyboard and it will just clear the message. The keyboard will randomly get sensitivity issues (like sometimes it won't hit keys, sometimes it will hit more than intended, etc.). I don't think this last one is a SMS issue thing (but I don't know since I don't talk on it very much) but my connection seems to go away a lot, or "go away" and I have to resend messages a lot. I don't know if that last one would be a Radio issue or not.
I don't know exactly what information I should provide but I'll just put a couple things that I've seen commonly posted for now:
ROM version: 24.Jul.2010 WWE (the ROM is the Energy.Leo.21991.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.24, as stated)
Radio version: 2.10.50.26
I wanted to ask you guys first since I'm not the expert at this. What I was going to do is backup everything, Task29 (though I need to find out all the info about it first, haven't seen much, just that it's a good thing to do), flash the new August 1[sup]st[/sup] version of Energy, and hard-reset. I wasn't however sure if I should flash a different Radio, and if I should I don't know how exactly (if someone could point me to a thread that would be great; the only one I could find is the Radio thread where they all are, not how to do it though but I could have missed it). If I should flash my Radio, which would you guys advise?
Thank you anyone who can help with this, it is very appreciated. If this has been posted somewhere I am sorry for bringing it up again. I looked and just couldn't find anything.
Also, just a side note type thing that isn't really related (just don't want to have to start another thread really). I'm relatively new to the whole programming/development scene and would like to know more about all of this. I do plan to look into the Windows Mobile Development and Hacking sub-forum and find out what I can there, but I was just curious what you guys would suggest and such and where a good place to start would be. Thanks again for any information on this subject as well.
Again, thank you anyone who can help with anything

HD2 crashes when adjusting in call volume

Hi all.
Im having a bit of a problem with my HD2. Whenever im in a call if i adjust the volume the earpiece goes dead, starts making a quiet buzzing noise and cuts the other person off. If you want to call the person back the phone wont let you back into the phone menu, and starts to act all strange and slow and you have to pull the battery off. I have been searching the forums for a solution but i havent found one yet. I have even flashed 3 different Roms to see if that fixes the problems but no.
Please HELP!!!
Adam.

i had exactly same problem, so tried another rom. and everything ok. but i did do a task 29 first.....try doing that then re-flashing your rom.

Don't forget to change radio to a compatible one with the rom.

Cheers you guys. At least im not the only one who has had this problem Phew. I will try what you both have said and see if it solves the problems! Thanks again.

YAY Fixed. Cheers you guys for all your help!!
Adam

please specify what solved the problem for you so that other people going through the forum and its threads can get some idea and so that this thread gets meaningful "closure".
lets try to avoid using the forum as personal tech support, and instead add information where necessary so that it can truly be the knowledge base it aims to be.

Don't get any info
Fido. I don't get any info from this thread. This user has opened up a thread and after some time he is saying that Ok my problem solved. What this thread can give others in terms of knowledge and info - Nothing but time waste.

[Q] Searching For Gps problem. HELP!!

I have seen multiple threads on this subject for every other phone but none for the Nexus. Ever since i updated to CM 7.0.2 my gps hasnt worked properly. It locks in on my position and others in latitude very quickly, but if i try to use navigation it stays stuck on searching for gps. When i attempted to use the app gps status to check out the problem, it keeps loading and never finds any satellites. I posted in a g2 thread and the response i got back was this:
"You need to find out what partition on your phone the radio/gps cache is stored. Wipe it. That is the same type of idea of what we are doing here. Hopefully that helps get ya going in the right direction. I would also recommend trying to back it up first if you can. I'm also sure some dev with the know how could write a very easy script for you so that you can't mess it up. But it would obviously have to be someone familiar with the nexus setup. Good luck!"
can anybody help???

I wish I could ban people for this.

dont kill me man my bad. really need the help tho. ill try this question in the correct forum as well.

[REQUEST] Fix for screen-off-issue after call

Hi @ all,
i know my thread is in a wrong place but its time to give more attention to this issue which is concerning a lot of hd2-Android users.
As you all know the htc hd2 is a smartPHONE.
It's most important function is to let us make our phone calls without any trouble!
But there's a problem:
A lot of users complain about the screen staying off after having made a phone call. It doesn't turn on unless you hold the phone in a bright light. No chance for anybody who's in a darker environment at that time. Hardware keys also don't let the screen turn on again. So often the only way to solve this problem is taking out battery and reboot.
This is REALLY annoying and ashaming for all users, i mean we have one of the greatest phones for custom roms, but we can't make a proper phone call -.-
So to sum up: There are several threads already opened, with no solution and no real end.
My wish to all the great Chefs and developers out there: Thanks for your hard efforts so far.
But PLEASE try to fix this issue. Perhaps deactivating the proximity/light sensor, or just making the phone let its screen turned on during a call might be a solution?
So many roms out there with hundreds of versions but no one works for me and many others without this issue.
PERSONALLY, i don't care if my rom has ultra-spectacular-amazing quadrant score or the latest sense 3.0 shich has still bugs.
Just a stable rom for using our hd2 as a real phone, that's what so many want, so hard to understand?
Thanks, for reading.
BTW: the hint to make the proximity/light sensor clean doesn't work, and some users don't understand the scren-off issue, i know.

screen after call
I have the opposite problem - my screen remains unlocked after phone call which is a big problem when the phone is in my pocket and i'm answering with a BT device.
I usually find the phone is some strange settings screen or some app running.

There is no "but", If its in wrong place its in wrong place.
If you have this issue its likely rom related as this isn't a wide spread general issue as I have personally never experienced it.
if you want to discuss this issue reply in the appropriate roms topic, You are not a dev and not posting dev work/reference.

uhuuhu...
NO, it's NOT rom related. I think testing about 10 of the most popular roms here is enough...
Just search for it. I said it before some people don't have this problem but there are also many others who have it.
BTW: askin in the roms section was intending to get attention as wehenever yopu aks for it in the thread of the rom no one cares.
Just sad that the most "Devs" think building a rom is just abaout making it looking cool full of unnecessary special addons and customisations...

- make the performance better here please -
