EVO reboots at least 10x a day

the only thing I have on my phone is Fresh 3.4.01 nothing else and it reboots at will, like a 50% boot, ie: screen remains and phone appears to reboot, but its not liek when you turn it on........seems to be happening more and more...
If I do a factory restore will I lose all my contacts ??
what do you guys think ? thanks

Did u do a complete wipe before u flashed the rom??? sounds like u didnt....

You can export your contacts to your SD card for a hard copy, and your contacts are synced with your Google account. Google.com/contacts.

Login to your Google account and see if your contacts are backed up. If not do what someone said and export to your card. Wipe and see if you still have an issue if so try a different rom.

thanks for the replys
I bought the phone new,had the last fresh on it, was only 4-5 weeks ago ?
So i`m using it for a few days works great right, then i get into the phone and see what its running,and google it and see there`s an update available, so i contacted the guy i bought it from and he says no problem do the update if you want...
So i downloaded the file,plugged in my phone to the computer put the file where it told me to, rebooted phone pressing the volume down was it ? and followed the instructions....
So basically it did an update WITHOUT wiping the phone..... truthfully i did`nt have it long enough to know if it was rebooting before i did the update so i`m not sure if its the phone or the software...
These phone are so darn cool i love it to no end, and just want it to work 110% like the rest of yours.
I am an IT consultant and could use a good remote desktop app as well, any recommendations ? as all the ones I have downloaded so far have asked for full access to my phones every move ! whats up with that ??!!!
hey thanks in advance all here you guys rock

If someone else rooted your phone there are a few things you need to do. You need to make sure you have Amon_ra recovery installed and you need to to a nand backup with Amon_ra because it backs up the wimax keys. You also need to do a full wipe when installing a new rom wipe cash and dalvik I do it two times. Than install the new rom, keep in mind you will loose everything and always do a nand backup before installing the new rom. Now if your going from a 3.1 to a 3.2 rom update a wipe is not always needed but a nand backup is incase you need to go back. Hope this helps.

If you know how to root or are capable of following instructions to the end, I say unroot and try to use it like that. If the problem persists, take it in for service. My phone started rebooting randomly because the processor was overheating. I troubleshooted by replacing the battery, changing ROM, unroot, take it in. The phone got to the point where any data intensive app would make it turn off (maps, navigation, YouTube).

might wanna check out this thread. hope this helps

[Q][SOLVED] Sd card problem

Hi all,
I have a problem with my sd card. It's not recognized by my HD2 WP7!
So I searched on xda forum and other forum, and I saw that I need to reformat my card with specific tools and specific options... OK for that.
My question is: Do I need to flash my phone again with the new SD card or is it possible to get it recognized by the phone without a new flash?
Thanks for your help
Regards

Did you have it in your phone the first time you turned on wp7? It needs to be in the phone when it first turns on and you go through the phone setup. WP7 uses it as internal memory, so you can't remove it while running wp7, either. You can go to settings and go to about (I think that's what it is), then reset your phone. It will ask for confirmation twice, then will do a factory reset... make sure the card is in when you do this.

Yes. But the first card didn't worked, the wifi was always disconnected... so I changed and the wifi worked correctly but the storage space of WP7 doesn't use my sd card space... So I bought a new one, formatted it correctly and tried to use it in my phone and the result is the same.
If I reset the phone, will I have to reinstall chevronwp7?
Thanks for your help!!!

Why would he have to reflash? resetting does the same thing... I've always been able to restart everything by resetting.
And yes, to op, I think you have to chevron unlock it again after resetting, because a reset sets everything back like you just flashed again. When you tried a different card, did you hard reset it?

aye, reflashing isnt needed unles your original Flash was corrupted somehow or your upgrading the ROM, just do a hard reset, hold VOl down and VOL up when powered off and tap the power button, follow instructions.

Hi all,
Yes I tried a hard reset but nothing changed, my phone was still configured as if I had'nt hard reset it...
I'll giv it another try today!
Thanks everybody for your help!

How did you hard reset it? I always just went to settings, then to "about" I think it was... where ever it is that shows you how much memory is on your phone. Then hit reset there. It will tell you that all data will be erased and will ask you to confirm twice. Did you do it that way? Make sure the card is in when you reset. It might be a good idea to format card in computer first too.

[Q] how to delete your info nand hd2?

so i got mjd cyangamod 7 nand on my hd2 and i recently sold it because it was my second phone...ive been trying to delete my info and seem to got everything off i go into privacy and reset everything but in accounts/sync my email is still there and when i try to remove it it says to factory reset well ive done that a few times and its still showing up?
any help

Go in to MAGLDR, and select the option 'AD HardReset'. That should do the job.

You mean you want to completely remove android, or do you mean you want to remove all your data that was on android (emails, apps, messages, contacts, etc)? If it is the latter, then simply reflash the build. Hard reset in the settings won't solve your problem, as you've noticed. Or you could go into the email app, go to the settings and delete the accounts.

yeah i just want to remove all my data...would the hardreset work?

yes the MAGLDR AD hardreset will work. It will erase the phone's data, leaving only HSPL and MAGLDR. meaning it will remove android also

Yeah, if you go in to MAGLDR and do it. It doesn't work in Android, because it's not the HD2's native OS. There wouldn't be that feature of MAGLDR for no reason.
If that DOESN'T work, then most certainly re-flashing the ROM will work. But there's really no need.

but i would have to reflash anyway correct?, since it only leaves mag, and hspl

No. It just resets the NAND ROM. Doesn't over-write it or anything.

oh I assumed it would erase everything, oh okie, thanks for the info, and sorry about the misleading info.

hey thanks, i got into magdlr and did the reset then just booted into nand and it loaded back up new
how do i give you a thanks point?

No problem. Cotulla/DFT just wouldn't put that feature there for no reason.
But you're forgive, after all, you're Jamaican MON. hahaha. ;p

My father forgot his Lock screen code

I recently bought a mytouch 4g for my dad and flashed MIUI Rom for him. He was playing with it and forgot the Lockscreen code that he put on. Is there anyway of fixing it? Calling T Mobile? Or flash another Rom ? Or reset? Please help

Best bet is a complete reset
Sent from my wickedly brilliant Virtuos Unity Sense 3.0 BluMagic HD Android powered black myTouch 4G with my fingers.

But my phone isn't running on the Stock Rom, would a hard reset mess the phone up? I'm on the MIUI Rom

turn the phone off, or pull out the battery. start the phone into recovery, wipe data and cache, and then flash a new rom on it. That'll take care of the problem.

I've forgotten my lockscreen code a couple of times but after so many failed attempts I get the option to enter my email password and that unlocks the phone

If your dad's phone already back-up, you could reboot on recovery, mound storage to place ROM on SD card, and then full wipe & flash the ROM.

I was hoping for the email option too, but I just remembered that right after I flashed the ROM, I gave the phone to him without setting up Gmail or anything, he doesn't use those stuff at all. He only makes and receives phone calls, not even text. I did set up a Gmail account on the stock rom before I flashed it though, would that still work? And after trying a few times, the phone will say you've tried over 30 times, please wait 30 seconds before you try again. And how do I boot into recovery ? I still have the ROM file on my SD card, can I reflash the same Rom again ?

Did you sync contact list on stock ROM to Gmail? If yes, you can restore the contact list. To boot into recovery, you pull out the battery in 5s, place on battery again, push power + volume down at the same time, you can boot into recovery.
I think you need to full wipe before reflash the same ROM.

No, I didnt sync contact, my dad was gonna use the phone, not me. So I left everything as it is except for the email account since I was prompted to enter it when I was trying out Market Place. So let me make this clear before I decide to venture on:
This is the best option as of now.
1. Boot into recovery
2. Do a full wipe, Data and Cache
3. Reflash the same ROM again
Right? Calling T Mobile wont help and doing a Hard Reset isn't possible because I'm not on Stock rom.
Thank you for all of you inputs and knowledge.

If you just wipe data, you do NOT have to reflash the ROM since everything is still in /system. Wipe data = factory reset to the ROM your phone has.

Thanks Gazalan, data wipe did indeed remove the lock screen code. Thanks for everybody's reply. Didnt have to reflash the ROm again

Hmmm... For someone who knows how to flash roms, how do you not know how to get into recovery??? Sounds sniff sniff... Suspicious...

If you had USB Debugging on, you could also adb shell into the phone and remove a file that disabled the lockscreen code.

Yes a new rom should fix the problem!!
Or a reboot will fix the problem too!!

Thanks for the feedback.
I got an update from her. When I told her to do a hard reboot, she told me that it got stuck on the logo. I'm gonna check it out later. But if that'd be the case, what should I do then?
