Constant rebooting after installing recent leaked OTA tonight

As titled, I installed the leaked OTA tonight for the 720p recorder, boot animation, etc. It did reboot 3 times initially right after the update but I was expecting that.
I waited about 30 minutes for good measure and then restored all of my apps and data with Titanium. Ever since then my phone has been rebooting itself for no reason. I have noticed that it does it more when I am launching certain programs. For a while it was just rebooting one right after the other and the home screen never came available, it just had a Loading... notification. Once it finally did load the home screen it looked like the Weatherbug was struggling to load and as soon as I click on it, the phone shuts off.
I uninstalled the app and it hasn't been rebooting as much but for a phone that has never ever had one problem I'm kind of inconvenienced by this.
Has anyone else out there experienced anything like this where the phone just keeps rebooting? It's like every minute I was hearing "Drooooid."
Any intuition on the subject would be appreciated tremendously.
Worse case scenario I have to do a Nand restore I guess...

Why update to something that hasn't been officially released?

Also GPS enabled makes it reboot. Guess there is no salvaging this one. I'll be waiting for Froyo to come OTA. Screw all this nonsense

Why flash a rom? Why root?
The reboots are caused by seomthing you restored in Titanium, not the OTA.

I figured as much, but at this point its going to be easier to just wait for the official update. I got my taste of it for now. I do like the news widget though on the update. Good stuff
Hey werent you from Android forums?

I posted a nandroid backup of stock post ota, its way down this thread by now. Try downloading and restoring it to see if that can fix ur problems, just be careful what u restore with titanium.

yeah. just do a fresh wipe and use the phone for a while to see if you get reboots. it is most likely an app causing the issue.

Waiting
I apparently rooted my phone without knowing about it because unrevoked.com makes it waaaay too easy.
After installing the leaked OTA, my wifi, gps, bt, and camera stopped working. Thank the lord almighty I created a nandroid backup.
Based on the rumor from droidedup this morning that they are halting these OTA updates for a couple of weeks and releasing Froyo, I suggest you unroot, go back to your previous version and wait for Froyo.

I did do a nand backup before I pushed the OTA so I had something to revert to and now my phone is back to full functionality.
Yes, undoubtedly we have all heard about Froyo 'coming soon,' but again I will believe it when I see it and there's no chance of me unrooting before the update is officially out.
And I know a lot of people are claiming that they're going to wait until unrevoked can "fix" it (froyo) for those root users, but not me. I'd rather have Froyo and no root than the opposite. It's like waiting for Christmas morning and then when everyone else is opening up their goodies, you unwrap an IOU that says "we're still working on yours."
Not me.
Sorry, Charlie.
Lol, I'm sure they will figure out how to root again, if its any different of a process at all. Hopefully HTC realizes that a lot of people are chosing their handsets over Motorola simply because their phones can be rooted. Why mess with a good thing?

Issues After OTA Update?

Anyone having issues after installing the leaked OTA update? I've noticed my alarms are no where near reliable anymore. I thought maybe the issue was the stock clock app, but I'm seeing the same thing with "Alarmed Lite". While this isn't a huge problem, I'm interested in seeing if anyone else has noticed anything similar. Right now at a cross roads. I love the updated camera, but I do rely on my phone for alarms.
My only other issue right now is my Karnivor (MQ2'ed, midblocked, Yakuza'ed) is extremely inefficient, and the Yak doesn't seem to recognize a normal trigger pull. Guess that's a topic for another forum though....

the ota has given countless problems. thats why i stayed away, and thats why.vzw never released it.

stop using a task killer if you are, or check to see if you are killing anything that could be affecting your alarm. I used to use taskiller until I did some reading and I must say the system runs with less quirks now that I don't use one...
If you do not use a task killer, it may just be an issue with the ota, can't say for sure... as per the post above mine, I did read that the ota may not have been released because it may be incorporated into a following ota (possibly froyo) not because of "countless" issues...

I see no threads like that. I do, however, see some threads about getting it to work 100%. I also know from personal experience that any issues are user error, as I had/have the ota installed and have no issues with it whatsoever.

I use my alarm for morning wake ups everyday and it has been flawless. The update gave me no issues that I can see and I've been running it at least a week.

I haven't had a single problem with my OTA update either. But the hit or miss must be why they haulted the release. Can't wait for Froyo as is the same with everyone though.

If what's been going around the internet about 2.2 being released around the end of the month, that could also be why they pulled it. Changed their minds about the update and decided to just go full froyo. Or it could be a test ota meant only for devs to test out the new radio and drivers. At this point it's all speculation...but anyway this is getting offtopic.
To the OP, it almost sounds like you have some kind of auto task killer installed or something...

I actually don't run a task killer, and when I did (pre ota update) I excluded the clock. I use SystemPanel now. Wonder if it's worth it to roll back and try again. Anyone know if it's safe to go back to the previous hboot and then reapply the patch?

My alarms work just fine, have had absolutely no issues with ota update.

Anyone else have problem with FM radio after OTA?

I've rooted 4 incredibles with this ota and only one had a problem of not being able to hear when on a phone call but if you turn speaker on it would work and you could hear it was pretty weird

I had constant reboots with the leaked OTA so I went back to stock. I'll wait for the 2.2 OTA to come out and for Unrevoked to hack it up.

Im getting ready to root and flash... thanks samsung

I've been waiting patiently for my 2.2 OTA upgrade ... now my patience is running thin as hell with Samsung as well as t-mobile for not stepping in to remedy the problem. The worst part is that I just heard that Samsung pulled the 2.2 update from kies. So this is probably a bad sign for any one who is afraid to root or scared the void any warranty.
Im unfortunately one of the ones that hasent wanted to root cause im still paying off my phone. I know its easy, I just want the option to claim warrenty.
Im giving them until the new year to release an OTA for 2.2 or 2.3 if not that a date and then first deadline they miss in rooting.
Sent from my futuristic phone

I say go ahead and root. Then read a lot. Read some more. And then flash. Don't worry about the warranty. You can always flash back to stock and unroot. They'll never know or care.

Honestly, you're probably not going to get 2.2 by years end. Gingerbread is out and we're still running software that was released over a year ago. At this rate, we'll get Gingerbread (if we ever) couple months after Honeycomb is released..
edit: I also applaud your patience thus far. I couldn't even stand waiting more than a week for JI6 update (after it was reported it was being released OTA), which prompted me to root + flash.

I would just go with the One click lag fix for rooting. I think the .apk that allowed you to root got pulled from the market. But if you search around here... you can still find it. Very simple, just install the app, click root, boom, start flashing away. Just search for One Click Lag Fix, gotta get one of the older versions though.

Root, read, learn, then install the Stock JL4 Froyo Rom some of us are running. It's pretty slick and practically perfect.

Go ahead and use ODIN and update to 2.2 FL4. You wont be disapointed, unless you talk about battery life. I lost an hour at least going to 2.2. However, the features/speed improvement is well worth it.
I will NEVER EVER EVER buy a phone again that has less than a 12h active battery life again. This looking for a place to charge like a crackwh** is getting old fast.

I am in the same boat - except that I have rooted. I didn't flash a custom ROM since it's so much more difficult than on the G1 which had the excellent Amon Ra recovery to do BART backups in case something went wrong and a flash from a zip file side loaded on the phone.
Flashing ROMs on this is so much more convoluted with ODIN, kernels etc. Plus 2.1 was decent enough on the phone and I kept expecting Samsung to release 2.2. But this is now getting ridiculous and I'm getting pissed of as well. This is definitely the last Samsung phone I'm buying. My next phone is definitely going to be an HTC. HTC modding is stabler and more advanced for obvious reasons, not least of which is that HTC seems relatively okay with it.
What is 2.2 FL4?

FL4 is the latest "leak" of the 2.2 "final" rom for the Vibrant.
Dont listen to others that are saying to factory restore, after you are done with the flash, boot it into recovery (the volume button turn on) and just clear the cache, then reboot. You wont lose any data. (If you rooted 2.1 you will may have to factory restore, but it doesnt hurt to try the cache trick first. The method I'm referring to seems to work best if your a non-root user like me).

Can someone post a link to a good thread so I can research what I need to do or atleast provide me with the right word or phrases to search.
My first concerns are what everything is, like ODIN and OCLF (I finally figured out the OCLF thanks to this thread means one click lag fix ... I never put 1&1 together) Also they put the OCLF back in the market with all the tools just minus the ROOT option. Reading through the help file provided with the OCLF app he tells you what you can do to obtain root.

I was in the same boat. It's my wife's phone and she didn't want me screwing with it.
I finally gave up on samsung and installed stock jl4 yesterday and couldn't be happier.
Haven't really seen any bugs at all yet. It's running great.

I've been looking through a few rooting threads to gather information. I see people saying that there making backups and installing busybox or superuser. If acquiring root is as simple as a button press and a restart why make a backup. I understand that It's always good to make a backup when delving into the inner OS.
Also the OCLF, Super Oneclick, and Z4root, methods I've researched are a little less explanitory then i thought. They just say something like "INSTALL AND CLICK ROOT" nothing step by step or anything talking about safty precautions.

A titanium backup will allow you to restore your apps and more importantly your app data with just one click.

For those holding out on root & awaiting "Official 2.2 OTA", DON'T!! -> read w/in ->>

For those holding out on root & awaiting "Official 2.2 OTA", DON'T!! -> read w/in ->>
When I got my Evo, I wanted to wait for the official Sprint ROM/OTA upgrades because I wanted to keep my phone stock. I didn't want root to affect my phone's ability to OTA upgrade and get the latest and greatest from Sprint.
After many advice from others, I decided to root. This is where you will see the repeating theme - "I rooted and loaded a ROM and have never looked back", or "I rooted and upgraded the ROM from the dev section and have never been happier". I certainly agree.
The fact is, when (now IF) the official 2.2 comes out, you will get the EXACT OTA content here just as quickly (probably faster) and be able to flash to that if you wish. Most likely, at that time, you will want an enhanced version such as deodexed. It is not worth holding out on root just because you want the OTA.
With root, you are opening new options such as forcing the phone to roam only, make real/full backups, modify your phone both visually and functionally, and so much more. After root, battery life can certainly be improved by tweaking your phone (remove bloatware, keep unwanted services from starting, etc.)
When I got my Epic, I rooted immediately. I have been running DK28 since it dropped and enjoying what 2.2 has to offer. If/when the official comes out, I will upgrade. There is simply no risk of missing out.
So for you who are on the line, I encourge you to root and move forward. You will have a new world of options and enjoy your phone so much more.
Cheers.

It's true, and we're not that far from seeing a true Gingerbread port too.

Not to mention, with Odin, this phone is extremely hard to FUBAR and very easy to revert back to stock if needed. One click root makes the rooting process brainless...
I was in the same boat a few months ago. I viewed "rooting" as a hack or purposely "damaging" the phone. Eventually, I caved in; everything is hindsight from that point. Now, I will NEVER use a stock ROM again. Having access to the system allows me to take control of the device that I OWN; not Sprint or Samsung. If I don't want and application on the phone, I simply remove it. If I want to change the appearance, I install a theme.
Honestly, if you own an Epic, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't root the phone. Heck, I'm not even using 2.2 for the lack of a stable GPS lock...

I agree with most of this. But from my point of view, I don't even use it for the control, I use it cause it works better. Oh, and the themes. I just hope the devs and themers stick around a while, cause I have this phone for another 20 months :/

new devs and themers will come along. the cdma touch pro 2 is approching 18 months in age and when i stop by that forum, its just as busy as ever, and i dont even recognize the names of roms people are talking about, because the chefs that were cooking when i was rocking that have moved along, but new ones are stepping up in their place.

Installed TrulyEpic 1.2 last night in just a few minutes. No problems at all. GPS is fantastic (I thought it was working before, but now - ) Is it just me, or does the stock ROM limit the display brightness? I think it actually LOOKS better but YMMV.
It's comforting to know that I now have a phone that will probably never be truly obsolete for the next couple years as long as there are ROM builders out there.

but i tried to root using the one click and recovery and had issues it would tell me permission denied at the end after it reboooted, i used z4 to root and it worked fine, tried to use it again and still same thing, then installed rom manager and then try clockwork, nogo. so i took it all off and will jsut deal with it when it comes ota

I'd agree with you, except that I've had all kinds of issues rooting my Epic, ranging from USB drivers that fail to install, various one click root scripts that error out, a cruddy usb cable from Samsung, and an inability to get Odin to even look at my phone crosseyed.
I'm not brainless ... but nothing about rooting and flashing my phone has been straightforward. After wasting hours wading through (volunteer-written, open source, karmically-blessed) inconsistent instructions, I've lost patience. I just want an official, OTA copy of Froyo that isn't going to brick my phone or waste my time.

I've never had this problem. There must be something wrong and it isn't the one click. Could be your USB cable. Make sure your phone is in debugging mode. The OP is 100% right. Why use any stock ROM? If we do ever get the OTA, our devs will make it better and in about 100 different flavors.

I have been holding out but even my patience is tested...
It was tested even more today trying to find a way to root without a PC (as I don't own a PC... well I have one that runs Win2K and no internet at home... yeah.) I did download z4root but it never got past the first screen...it literally loaded for an 1hr the 1st time and 35mins the second before I got ticked and just uninstalled. I may be new to the android scene (long time winmob user that fled after testing a wp7 craptastic phone) but something just isn't right here X/ I mean really.... I simply want flash (outside of skyfire) and to wirelessly tether without having to pay ANOTHER $30 a month.... ...

Good point. But unless Samsung or sprint announce the update is out. Somebody has to be stock just incase they quietly release the update.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

yep. Im staying on stock for the simple fact that my phone aint broke why try and fix it lol.

I recently flashed DK28, then converted to ext4 and the bonsai mod. Froyo means I can view more webpages and download the froyo apps from the market place. ADW lancher was slow on 2.2, but lancher pro works fine. Also I wasn't getting great battery life but it's back to normal after I set my screen brightness to automatic. Overall I'm happy with my decision.

I too was one that didn't want to root and I was paying for the sprint hotspot :-\ but once I got the first bill for $130 I quickly youtube how to videos on rooting the epic and never looked back. 2.2 runs great with my only bug being, on some calls out I couldn't hear the other person unless I put it speaker phone. I worked my way around this bug by just hitting the speaker button before every call then quickly hit it again to shut off the speaker. It takes very little effort and I'm happier than ever with my epic and I don't give a rats ass about the OTA 2.2

The reason i first rooted was for wireless tether and to get rid of all the bloatware. After that i found all these awesome root apps like ADFREE and ShootME titatanium back up and many others and i can now not live with out adfree its the best app ever!!
After trying wireless tether it was ok then mobile ap came along and i love it. And for this reason alone im staying stock and honestly this is the first phone that does everything i need and doesnt give me any issues even on stock rom. I did get a custom kernal i flashed a good amount of the 2.1 roms and didnt really care for any of them besides noobnls rom. i mean i like custom roms that are blank of extra bloatware and what not.
But yes i agree dont wait to root, you get so many added benefits to make your phone run fast and get many free apps that are ad supported but because of ad free they are like the real one.
Best decision to root.
And for any reason i need to go back to stock to take the phone in i have all the stock flashables on my sd card so i just flash them and its easy as pie.
One click root never gave me any issues with the samsung cord or with any other cords i have.

I agree, I just got tired of it and rooted and installed a custom ROM (Trulyepic 1.2). It's definitely nice. It's also nice to feel free from the shenanigans of corporations trying to do as little as possible to make money off you while maintaining PR.
I admit, it's a bit scary to do with your phone. I'm lucky in that I've gotten familiar with rooting with my Viewsonic Gtablet, but I have to admit that I was pretty nervous the first time.

Hey dude, i haven't rooted my phone and I have the 2.2. rom on my computer... it was super easy to install. If you want the update without having to root, just pm me if you want it, and ill upload it and send u a link. with instructions.

I did the update and my GPS was fubar. I had to flash back to stock and now I'm scared to flash back to 2.2 for fear of losing GPS again. How is your GPS because I really liked froyo but don't want to jeopardize my GPS.

[Q] DL30 Upgrade(?) advice

I am reluctant to post, but the endless threads I have been reading are confusing me a bit.
Been waiting for Froyo and still on a stock DI01, 2.1-update 1, did Odin with files from here within hours of purchase back in Nov., rooted, CWM 2.5.1, Tit Backup Pro to freeze bloat, wireless tether works and 20+ hour battery life as a corporate email (push) user.
i am happy to review the boards and geek out on this stuff to do it myself, in fact I have been reviewing the board quite regularly to learn this stuff. If I want to upgrade, it appears to me that I need to go from DI01 to at least DJ05 if not DL09, use Odin to get the CWMR , then DL30, restore apps with TiT Backup and hope I dont gork it up somewhere.
My question I guess is whether its worth the risk with some of the board complaints about the DL30 upgrade: can it be undone if need be ? Is data governor a concern ? will apps like EasyTether Pro and wireless tether still work?
I am too dependent on this for corporate email to flub something up that I cant revert to current state with and the text message problem thread was concerning. If all else fails, can I get back to DI01 or is this a one way street ?
On a side note, since I have skipped all the interim steps, if there is a novel process that a dev wants mew to try would be happy to try something new.

Download the stock dl09 first so you have a way to revert back. Dl30 is great. Only problem I have is I can't view emails anymore.!

Thanks for the reply. I have all the files I need, but watching the problem reports filter through the forum is disconcerting.

Well you can still always go back to dl09 with Odin. So never any worries man. Where are you finding the reports of problems with dl30?
Sent from my SCH-I500

I have none of the issues others are reporting. It may have to with missing steps, using superclean vs the bloated rom, or maybe the starting configuration. I had stock ota DL09 and follows the directions for rooting with one click and the how to for DL30 in the rev forum. No issues at all.
sent from Froyo'd Fascinate!

Id wait till the official leak. DL30 is almost certainly not the code that VZW will officially release, it has some bugs in it (notably long pressing the search button on the homescreen does nothing at all). I cant see VZW launching a version with stuff like that messed up. If your gonna upgrade might as well wait.

I'm having trouble with me email accounts now that I've upgraded to dl30. They keep saying messages are too long.

As stated before in another thread...I'm seeing lag. Coming from stupid fast dj05. I like things snappy...and with a live wallpaper, downsizing to 5 screens and still not getting the crisp transitions I was is discerning to say the least. I can see why there isn't an official release.

With the exception of long-pressing search doing nothing, I have zero problems using the Super Clean .7 DL30. Yes, the stock DL30 was laggy, but so is stock every-other-Samsung-ROM thanks to the bloatware. Super Clean, on the other hand, is super fast.
