(solution at the bottom of this post)
Hey, ive searched for a little while now and i havnt found a solution, so if i missed it im sorry just point me in the rigth direction. In the mean time, here is my issue:
Its the same issue with:
4.5
4.9
5.0
(these are the only onces ive used)
all downloaded from:
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
now ive wiped before flashing each update, and even wiped after the update, ive even gone back to rc29 and then trying again
when i get the phone to finish booting up, my radio gives me issues, it will show full bars, then none, then full, then none, never showing edge, so i go into wireless settings and realize that every 20 seconds or so, airplain mode is coming on for a half a second then going back off, without me clicking it, but when it does this, it never shows the airplane icon where it does if i click it myself in the top status bar
now if i manage to dial out a call at the right time, it will keep the full bars, and dial out properly, i can have a half hour phone call or longer without a problem, when i hang up, i have full bars AND edge for atleast a hour or so, and then i drop edge all of the suddon and go back into the airplane loop, inwhich a simple phone call (even to voicemail) fixes it temporarily
this issue happens as soon as i reboot the phone as well, as it starts up, it shows no connection, then emergency calls only, then tmobile, and repeats
when under mobile settings when trying to select a network manually if im lucky for it to show tmobile and at&t, 90% of the time it tells me it cant connect to tmobile due to my sim. if i keep clicking it it will say registering to network, but it will stay in the loop with the airplane mode flickering on and off
again, if this is something stupid im missing, or if its been explained elsewhere, my bad just point me in the right direction, but either im not searching for the right thing or ive just completely missed it, either way, someone help me before i have to go back to JF 1.42, im really enjoying this magic port
Ok, so thanks to the suggestion to "update the radio" and Google for pointing me in the right direction. I did as follows, and so far, so good.
Download this file to SD card
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip
Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip Sapphire Radio 2.22.19.23
Rename it update.zip
Reboot Phone in Recovery
(I wiped, this may not be needed, but I did anyway)
Alt + S to install the update
the phone will ask you to do the home + back to reboot, press it and it will do a few other things, including reboot into a screen with a arror pointing at a microchip, then it will reboot back into recovery
hit the home + back yet again to perform another reboot and it will boot up normally and so far, ive yet to have an issue with my radio after this
wootroot-
THANK GOD I AM NOT ALONE!!!!
This problem has been plaguing me as well with all of these new builds!!!
Ultimately I ended up going back to JF 1.42 MOD because I needed a working phone.
I flashed to 5.0G tonight... and its doing the same thing... radio on then radio off. I tried flashing to the new Sapphire radio... nothing works.
I would love for someone to come up with a working solution.
Thanks!

i feel the same way, i thought it was just me
there has to be something im missing, so many other people use these builds without issues like this, there is no way someone could put up with this issue and use the phone as a daily phone reliably
if you want to have 5.0 (well i flashed H not G but im sure it would work regardless) time a phone call to your voicemail when your radio flashes on and when it vibrates saying the call connected, hangup, and everything will be fine for a few hours
do me a favor though, read over the stuff i just added to my first post, see if your phone is doing anything different than mine, that way when someone who comes in here and is able to help, they know exactly what our phones are doing, and hopefully its not just us with this issue and it will get others in the trend of explaining in detail what is wrong with theres, maybe this will help speed up getting a solution lol (wishful thinking?)
I am redoing things once again.... reflash, etc.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
But it's late and I am tired and annoyed.
If it happens again... I will try to make a video of whats happening so others can actually see it.
I thought I was going crazy I'm on 5.0G now the new one which adds busybox but I've been having the same exact problem as the OP but I haven't tried the Sapphire Radio yet but we all seem to experience different issues anyway.

no fun, sorry your having issues too, you say we are having different issues, could that be because we are using the HTC code and your using the GOOGLE code? or did i misunderstand you?
can you explain a little more about the sapphire radio vs other radios? ive been trying to understand what the difference is, and how to switch between them, but so far im unable to find a clear answer, so can you tell me the difference and how to switch between them?
thanks for your help
EDIT:
oh and what do you use busybox on the g1 for? i just read up on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox) and i have a general idea of what it is now, but whats the use of it on the g1? do you use it as kind of a DOS for the g1? is it more for developers than end users?
This problem has happened to me but seems as all I needed to do was to reupdate the radio. It worked for me!

thanks man, i just did that using this radio update, so far (on 5.0) im not having any issues, for the record i did a wipe before updating the radio just to make sure i started fresh
i used this update:

download this.. all is resolved.
it has been discussed over a hundred times in the original thread.
Still having issues!!!

try reflashing the rom, then do the radio update
Hi all, I've just rooted my phone (Australian release on Optus) and i was wondering if the radio update has regional limitations or not? Because i've heard positive things about it but I don't want to screw my phone up.

did you get it working right? i tried the 5.0h as well and did the sapphire radio update and mine was doing that as well so i went back to jf. i wouldn't mind trying it again if i could actually use my phone. lol
Recently my phone started acting a little unusual. For instance, composed email weren't being sent out while syncing and a wipe and reflash seemed to fix it at first. This problem continued to get worse and at the same time, I started getting SD card ejected notifications seemingly without reason. Now it's to the point that my phone is completely unusable/useless. IF it boots all the way up, it will lock and then just go black. I have to remove the battery for some time to get it to turn on again. This includes loading the SPL and the Recovery interface. The ONLY way my fone will act semi-normal is if I remove the SIM card and boot it. Then eventually it will again just shut-off. I have reverted back to an older SPL with no luck (was using Haykuro's latest one until now). I have loaded multiple radio's with no luck (after reverting the SPL of course). I have tried multiple ROM builds, JF's, Cyanogens and Haykuro with no luck. This really sux. 4 month old fone and seems the radio might be fried. VERY disappointed in the quality. I hope I can get some help and warranty the phone. I am thankful I unlocked my old Blackjack and am able to use it for now. Just though I would share my tale of woe. I am not sure exactly what caused this. Maybe too much flashing? Not sure, but be aware; I feel like maybe I played too much with my phone. That last part REALLY sux cause I love my fone. I LOVE that I can play with it and install all of the great ROMs and themes. Anyway, best of luck to all you Dream owners. I hope I dont have to buy another one (cant afford it )
My fone is not bricked it just seems unstable in every way. Sad day 4 me
[UPDATE]
Before I made this post, I turned on the blue LED (holding trackball and power) and just let my phone sit there. Didn't really have a good reason to do so other than 'why not?'. Anyway, shortly after making this post, I couldn't just leave it alone so I picked up my phone again (I really do love it that much lol). While holding it and just thinking about my less and desirable situation, I noticed the back of the fone was warm like it is when you've been using it for some time. I couldn't help but think that the blue light was indicating that "something" was going on in the background so I just began pushing the buttons on the front and no specific way just randomly and all the sudden my fone rebooted. Sorry I can't say how long it was in "blue light" mode.
Now everything I had experienced and read concerning the "blue light" indicated the only way to get it out of this mode is to 1) remove the battery or 2) let the battery just die on its own. So you can imagine my surprise when the fone just rebooted. It booted up (no SIM inserted) and seem to be fine, but as I mentioned before, this had happened only to lock up and reboot itself. I just began using it as much as I could to see if it would fail again and it seemed to keep going fine so I thought "why not insert the sim again?" So...
With SIM inserted, the fone booted up fine. Again I began to put it through its paces and everything is good so far. Makes call (too late to have someone test call me), browses, downloads market, basically everything with no lockups and no reboots leaving all keys unresponsive. Damn I was happy! But not too much just yet. I'll let it keep going for sometime to make sure it's good, but I can't help but to think that putting my fone into "blue light" mode somehow "fixed" my fone fo lack of a better word. I am perplexed but pleased. Will update later after some decent testing time has gone by. I remain hopeful and regret my earlier comments regarding the fone's quality. I hope I remain regretful of this lol.
Interesting. Can you tell what EXACTLY was on the SDCARD when this happened?
lbcoder:
When this problem first happened on my phone I had folders containing my AppManager backups, ringtones, NES ROMS, camera pix and video files. It's the SD card I always have in there. I don't use apps2sd. I thought maybe there some problem with this card so I tried 2 other SDs I have with the same results; instability. I even tried a clean build with no SD card (as well as with and without SIM); all with the same results. I tried every possibly combination as a form of troubleshooting.
When I put it into blue light mode, the SD card that was installed contained DCIM (pix), appmanager, mp3s, video files, 2 different radios in .zip form (radio 1.22 and the sappire radio; neither with the name update.zip), .footprints folder, ime folder and that's about it. Did u have something in mind?
BTW, I wish I could edit the name of my thread to show there's an update...
The Blue LED has some other purpose and is simply not a "lock". That just seems silly and useless, especially since you'll find if you put it into this 'mode' it will drain your battery fairly quickly for a 'lock' mode (like 12 hours).
There's more than a 'lock' going on here...
I agree. It's doing something in the background other than just being a type of "lock". I'm don't want to claim that it fixed my phone because I have no idea what it's doing when that little blue lights is on. I am saying that it seems a little more than coincidental that my fubared fone (my feeling at the time) began to "magically" work after putting it into this mode and its subsequent reboot. I am really glad I did.
No amount of: fastboot erase "partition name", data wipes, radio/spl/rom flashing helped my fone. I was going to try and get warranty today, but now I don't need to. Back running ION and happy as h3ll! Maybe this will help someone else with a fone that refuses to function correct. Maybe it won't, but I definitely wanted to share my experience with it.
BTW, I was running Cyanogens 3.4 JF mod at the time this began. I understand some other people have had some similar issues as seen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525306
These problems are very similar to what I was having, but mine seem irrecoverable even after flashing EVERYTHING. Just food for thought...
I wonder if it found one of those radios and did something with it?
For that thread, Cyanogen has stated that the main issue is in the kernel. The memory killer kicks in and kills essential processes thus result in a crash. He stated that he's looking into it and the fix will likely be in 3.4.1 or one of the iterations after that. I'm not sure if your suffering from the same thing though. None of them seem to have the same symptoms as you do.

This is why I stay on Google Ion. It's clean, stable and fast. All these "optimized" builds seem plauged by bugs and quirks.

Interesting thought. But it would have to have parsed the file and made a determination on its own as to whether or not it was a valid radio. Neither were named update.zip at the time. Also, I had already downgraded the radio to one of the versions that existed in file name radio_1.22.zip that was on the SD. That allowed me to downgrade the SPL without bricking because at the time I was running Haykuro's newest SPL (which I have since reflashed to my now functioning fone).

Actually I described pretty much the problem quoted below that is in the thread that I referenced earlier:

Can someone please help me..
I installed Cyanogen 3.4 when it got released a few days ago and it was running smoothly.. I think he is a genious. Just today my phone shut off on its own and I had to take the battery out and put it back in to get it to come back on.

So I guess it could be open to interpretation. I think Cyanogen does amazing work. I have great respect for him and all his efforts that have given us more functionality with our Dream fones. As I said, it's food for thought. I'm not drawing any conclusions as they would be based on conjecture.
I am intrigued by the blue light mode. I really wish we knew exactly what purpose it serves.
I'm in a bit of a panic and think I need help.
I bought the HTC Hero from Bestbuy roughly Nov. 2009. And like everyone else love it, but was frustrated with all the bugs and slowness, lag ext. Reading and waiting for 2.1, getting impatient weekly...blah blah blah....but horrified to try to root the phone, because im not the techiest guy in the world, so when I saw that there was a 2.1 leak that I could just click from my computer, I did it like an impatient child.
RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2206511_signed_test.exe
and have had a major problem ever since. The phone will shut off if its not plugged in. I have to constantly turn it back on and wait for it to reboot.
So I followed "How-To repair your bootloader after using the 2.1 RUU" to the T! With no error messages and got it back to "stock" which still looked like 2.1 to me. I formated the SD card from the phone, did a full wipe in that black/green boot page and flashed Beezy's "option 4",
I believe I did a nanbackup right before the "option 4". But I don't think it matters, since the phone was shutting down before that anyway.
So that's where I am. If I'm messing around with the phone (on a call, web, playing with apps) it will stay on, but as soon as I set it down and the screen goes to sleep, thats it, when I pick it up and hit the menu or power button, it reboots (white screen, HTC logo). Am I F'ed? I do have insurance through sprint, but believe that is void now, since I stated messing around with it.
I swapped Batteries with my wife's phone and it still happend, so it's not a bad battery.
I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong forum. I did a search for "constant rebooting" and couldn't find anything similar to my problem.
Thanks in advance.
If all you see is the white htc screen you probably aren't actually rebooting just rosie is restarting. Probably because the ruu doesn't work too well on its own. I suggest you just take the plunge and root, wipe, and flash fresh 2.0d or damage 2.07.2 ( your choice really, both are excellent roms)

Well, first off it doesn't sound like you are rebooting, it sounds like sense might just be restarting.
Also, don't panic. Whatever you have done is fixable
surely someone who is not posting from their phone will be along to help soon, if not I'll be back home and on my pc in a few hours
Just to confirm
Can you go into settings > about phone > software information (1.5 maybe slightly different I can't remember any more) and tell us what Firmware version says? this way we can make sure that you are running the appropriate version to RUU back to 1.5 and reroot.
I am not sure exactly what is still on your phone.
Also have you ever flashed a radio update from flipz?
I agree, that it isn't rebooting, but its the sense crashing and restarting. I would also agree, that your best option would be to root.
Honestly, the guides are laid out as plain as they could be. It isn't that difficult, you just have to check and re-check typed commands, if done manually.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised and find it simpler than you think.
However, ALWAYS make sure to do to the following:
1. nandroid before you do anything.
2. NEVER EVER NEVER EVER touch anything that doesn't say CDMA HERO. (gsm hero radio flashes can literally fry your nice phone into a nice paperweight)
3. Don't be afraid to ask questions here. I'm pretty new to this, but there are a lot of cool helpful people.
4. nandroid again. (copy nandroids to your PC/Mac and keep a whole library of them.) I even have some extra google space that I've been uploading them to incase I'm not at my computer and I need one...lol)
5. Don't get too sucked into it.
Thank you guys for responding, as I was worried I would get flamed for being an idiot for doing what I did.
"I suggest you just take the plunge and root, wipe, and flash fresh 2.0d or damage 2.07.2 ( your choice really, both are excellent roms) "
Isn't "How-To repair your bootloader after using the 2.1 RUU" basically rooting the phone? Because after I follow those instructions, I get the the recovery menu. I just haven't tried Damage roms yes.
Also, "Well, first off it doesn't sound like you are rebooting, it sounds like sense might just be restarting."
Looks like a full boot...

I should mention that I have been testing things like, Turning off "Screen Timeout" completely, 10 mins, 1 min, 30 seconds...ext. And it still shuts down after a few minutes when the screen is off......HOWEVER, it is random as far as how long it has been sitting.....Sometimes the screen will be black for a minute and when I hit the menu or power it will reboot....sometimes it will sit for 10 mins and will turn on.....very random, but it WILL reboot eventually.
Thanks again, guys

Do you see the first black HTC screen? I know I've done the HTC quietly brilliant screen, but then it goes right to lock screen and loading apps.
I still don't think it is a full reboot, but I'm not THAT up to speed with most of this stuff.
Also, RUU'ing back to stock, then rooting and installing a 2.1 rom by Damagless or Flips should be your best bet.
RUUing back to stock has some problems in and of itself, but it should go ok.

I would try using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608434 to correct your issues it will take you back to stock 1.56.651.2 that come with the phone

I too am experiencing this.
Factory reset my phone and then flashed from 1.6 to 2.1. I have tried two different 2.1 roms (the sprint leak one and Freshrom) and both of them are causing spontaneous reboots of my phone. I never experienced reboots when on 1.6.

I believe you are correct, although I have yet to use any RUU
OP, you really should just root the thing flash a rom and succumb to the new obsession you don't even know you have yet
Personally, I'm a fan of RegawMODv2.1, it's lean and stable.
I think that even though you have run 2.1 RUU we can take you back to a bone stock 2.1
When I get home tonight I will try to link to all of the appropriate guides to get you there.
Once we have you back at a stock 1.5 I think we can all say "ROOT IT!" but I would feel more comfortable knowing that you came from the begining in the right order of things.
And get you on a solid stable Rom. I have recently started having issues with my damage rom and all of the aps2sd stuff that has been going on. Not sure what I am going to move to next. But that's besides the point, and none of it is Damageless's fault.
Ok, Kcarpenter, I'll be waiting LOL. I have been f'ing with this thing for a few days now, reading different forums and searching and searching. I finally broke down and posted here, because I'm at a loss. So I REALLY appreciate you guys taking the time to help me. Plugging the phone into my work truck laptop and running to the house to plug it in is wearing me down...
You just need to get over the fear of f*ing up your phone and root it. I'm not sure where the treads are on everything you need, but it's pretty straight forward.
If you had rooted while still running 1.5 you probably would not be in this mess. And Flipz has Fresh Kitchen which makes it even easier to Root and put a recovery console on.
"If you had rooted while still running 1.5 you probably would not be in this mess." You are absolutely correct, &RoidRage. I got excited when I saw the word "Official" 2.1, and jumped the gun.

If you get it to work then you can flash a custom rom. But make sure you download it and put it on the sdcard before doing anything else.
I know it says it is for the 110 error, but people have used it to get back to 1.5 from 2.1

hey guys.
i have a tmobile hd2 and i've noticed that my phone wont go past 50% with memory usage without having to restart itself. its very annoying. it happens after ive been using the phone for a while or been using the wi-fi router. my touch pro 2 never did that to me though so im wondering whats wrong.
help?
thanks
sorry to bump this but can no one help me?
Is it getting hot? Mine gets warm after using WIFI router. Once, only once, and I have no idea why because it hasn't done it since then, it randomly rebooted. I understand that higher temps can cause issues with the HD2. I'd do a search but I'm too frazzeled after a long day of work.
it cant be the heat...my phone gets warm but not hot once in a while. when it resets itself, it doesnt have to be hot to do it.
and when it does reset itself, it forgets to start the gps so i have to reset it again
i hate when it does it...is that normal to not go past 50% ram usage? does anyone elses do that? im gonna call and get a replacement but does anyone elses HD2 not go past it?

You don't have your ROM in your sig, so I don't know if you have a custom or not.
For sure, you phone crashing that fast is a shame and not normal.
If you are running a custom ROM, try getting on that thread to see if someone has or had the same issue. Sometimes these things happen and fixes are pretty fast if the chef wants to keep an audience.
If you are running stock, you might consider giving a custom ROM a shot, especially some of the "Lite" versions out there.
Be sure to Task 29 between any flashing to wipe out all previous data. Spare bits hanging around can interfere with a new ROM in unpredictable ways, including developing a crash pattern specific to your device that doesn't happen to other users of the same ROM.
Please keep us informed of your progress, someday another might have the issue and be looking for your solution, even if that is a hardware warranty exchange
hmm, i can see the rom version and everything on my sig... =/
im running the stock rom.
i wanted to go to a custom rom but then i hate having to update the rom every time a new one comes out. you know? props to the chefs who do that though!
i just had it exchanged. it was too annoying to keep going on like that
I am not sure if this has to do with using Android or not, but sometimes my HD2 decides to reboot itself unexpectedly, on WM as well as on Android and I can't really find what's causing it.
But what happens is, after switching itself off, it switches itself on again and hangs on the HTC logo, sometimes with or without the following info:
R 2.10.50.28_2
G 15.40.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
I am using stock ROM that came with it, i assumed it will be stable by itself but it reboots itself randomly sometimes just like on Android.
Does it have to do with the Radio version (i changed it from 2.07.xx). I tried 2.12.xx before and had same problems.
I should note that the only way for it to run again is to remove the battery for a while and then put it back. If i remove it and put it back briefly it will still hang.
Anyone is familiar with this strange behavior?
Thanks
ME too
I have the EXACT same problem. It only started for me after using android. now whenever i run Android it will unexpectedly reboot and sometimes hang like yours. It also does it in WM though not as often. I was able to notice it might have something to do with data connections bc if i run android but only use wifi it seems to be fine. I tried changing Radios WM ROMs and Android builds i even hardspled my phone again but nothing solved it. The problem needs to be talked about more. it got so bad for me I bought a Desire and gave up on my HD2 for the moment. Keep this thread up.
sounds like i have to follow
I hope not!
I notice if i do heavy download on wm or android i get it. But it could be that the phone is too hot? But it's not alarmingly hot tbh.
I hope more people can shed light on this.
Thanks for your input.
Yeah this is what seems to happen to me too, i start a downlogsd it gets a bit warm then freezes or reboots and gets stuck. However it doesnt even have to be a large download for me, a simple cab file or youtube video sometimes. And as far as heat, this never used to be a problem and i know for a fact my phone used to heat up way more before without a problem.
Maybe the qualcomm chipset go in "safe mode"..i remember that for first start tickle the orange led and after the device freeze or restart..maybe your device overheat. Try to touch cover's device or install a battery status monitor software. If you have changed radio, return on the original status. In case the restart happen always, make a backup using Pimbackup, and do an Hard Reset. For first try to use the telephone without the memory card and test the stabilty. If is all ok, you have to provide to format your SD card in Fat32. Try also to change the HSPL with the original SPL.

Forums Restored from Backups - LOST DATA - PLEASE READ
As many of you may have heard, we underwent routine maintenance on our Database Server. Upon rebooting the Database Server, it refused to boot and all indications are that the RAID 10 (what is RAID? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID) array failed.
We have restored the Forums from a 24 hour old backup. We know this is not ideal, but at this point, the chances of recovering the failed array are slim.
We sincerely apologize for this. In fact, this maintenance was intended to boost the redundancy of our database setup and lightening strike.

Thabks. Back to the subject, today i tried downloading on wifi a 150mb file on android and it rebooted byitself.
Then i tried to play a wmv video file on WM stock ROM and after 6 min it rebooted.
So its starting to look more and more like cpu/heat problem, anyone having these issues?
So does anyone think this might have something to do with all the overclocking in those android builds we've been using?
After 45 mins of install HD2 still hanging?
Hi, I just installed FroyoSense by darkstone
Release date: 07.AUG.2010
I don't know if this is the latest (probably not) but after 45 minutes of install the screen has in the top left hand corner tiny small text (excuse my lack of knowledge here) but no scrolling text as I expected, its now like 50 minutes, how long should it take?
Any help please would be appreciated, thanks

New to the HD2
So, I just bought a used HD2 a week ago. It was having similar problems in WM. I took it to a local store, and they said that is just how WM phones are. I've flashed HSPL and different radios and ROMs, installed Android, but still have trouble with freezing and rebooting on it's own no matter what I do. IT happens the same in WM or Android. Is there any way to find out if these might be due to hardware problems caused by the previous owner?
I got the same problem, when I do a lot of things on the same time on the HD2 it hangs or reboot. During de restart of the phone it hangs on the White screen with HTC on it. I have te take the battery out of it en than reboot again.
When I listen music and Internet the same time it almost always happends.
It happends on WM but also on Android, I tryed different ROM's and Radio Version's but nothing worked. Also tryed to work without SD-card, but still the same problem.
So I have no idea how to solve the problem...
I hope someone now's how to solve it...
Sorry for my bad English but I hope it's clear

If you read the previous posts you would know this thread has nothing to do with the problem youre describing. I understand the confusion of the title but pls read the thread first.

Your problem is unrelated to this thread.
So far we have more and more people having the related issue on WM and Android. We need some expert to help us pinpoint the problem.

i have the same issues.
I can add also playing videos for longerthan 5-10min would make the phone reboot too weither its WM or android.
Today I was in the Store where I bought mine HTC HD2, because I was sick off it. They told me that is was a familiar problem with the HTC HD2. They also would repair it free for me. I didn't do it yet because first I have to delete my HSPL etc.
I asked them also what the would repair to solve te problem, he told me: the will do a complete bodyswap. So everything will be renewed, exept the tochscreen and front.
So I guess it is a real and serious hardware problem....
Why we dont hear people conplaining about it if its comon?
I find that very odd.
Someone could try PMing one of the devs in the forum and linking them to this thread to see if they could shed some insight or at least bring more attention to the issue.
Well I live in the Netherlands and on the Dutch HTC HD2 forum, I heard some people complaining about it. But the salesman of the store said that it is a familiar problem, so that sounds to me like a regular problem. But indeed it's weird we doesn't hear more people complaining.
Maybe the most of the people think is normal with WM, but I am really sick of it...
