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.

[Q] Persisting bug. Voice in call comes out of media speaker and not the ear speaker.

When in a phone call the other persons voice comes out of the speaker on the back of the phone, not the ear speaker like it should. Speaker phone works fine. I've tried everything. Flashed multiple different roms, switched recoveries and kernals. Anyone have an ideas? could this be hardware related?

I've seen this happen on a desire, but a full wipe (w/no settings restored from TB) fixed it.

Yeah I've every wipe possible, several times. still did not do anything.

I'm having the same problem, did you ever find a solution? The phone is currently running the most recent Cyanogen 7.

no still no solution. I've posted multiple threads on different sites. I feel like I've tried absolutely everything.

Sounds like it may be a hardware issue?

yeah it seems that way. I just dont want to believe it because that would mean I was ripped off by swappa.com/the seller because they claimed everything was working perfectly.

has the phone done this the entire duration that you've owned it? or did it work normal, then start doing this randomly? to me it seems like a software issue that a full wipe would solve if possible. if that dont work then yes maybe a hardware issue, though its hard to imagine how that could be possible.

I believe it has been like this since I had it. I had to root it when I got it and I think I noticed it the first call I made. but it may not have been like this although I don't see how anything I did could have caused it. I have done everything possible. every wipe imaginable. various roms, kernels, and recoveries. Even went back to stock unrooted. and the OTA gingerbread update. nothing works.

So you did a fastboot wipe?

I stand corrected. I have not done a fastboot wipe. how do you do one?

I have not because it was a MAJOR pain in the butt to do it on my G1 with a Mac. Seems like the last resort though.

oh I see. well its makes no difference to me. ill try anything. do you know of any good guides? I'm using a PC

I did a quick search but didn't find anything good, when I have more time I'll find something and share it if you haven't already.

This might be helpful...
http://theonda.org/articles/2010/03...-performance-boost-and-some-serious-geek-cred

that had nothing about a fastboot wipe in it however I did find something. I'll let you know how it goes.

I wiped it with Flashboot but it didn't help.

yeah same here. this is extremely irritating. what is htc's policy on it? like the warranty specifics.

Not sure, they just told me to call 1-888-716-3593

oh I see. let me know what they say. cyanogen tweeted that he sent in his unlocked n1 and they replaced it because of a bad power button. so I'd imagine we have hope?

Bell Atrix , lost wifi, bluetooth and rebooting lots

Hey,
My phone started acting up after 1 month of upgrading to gb 2.3.6. My wifi and bluetooth wont turn on and my phone constantly reboots. I used CWM and did a full wipe. and flasehd the darkside ROM. Still i have the same issue.
Does anyone know what do I need to do to get my phone working?
Thanks

A friend of mine has the same problem, Im pretty sure thats a hardware issue already. !

running gb 2.3.6 #4 - still no wifi/bluetooth

Having the same issues. Does anyone know if wifi and BT share an antennae?

try flashing a differnt radio? for your phone specs
look in ihop thread or fruit cake thread for your radios

I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue... I have been having this problem myself, and have tried flashing many of ROM and Radio's since it has reared it's ugly head - all to no avail. The WiFi an Bluetooth do share the same Broadcom chip... maybe there's enough of us experiencing the problem that we can collaboratively order a dozen of these things (they only seem to sell in bulk).

Had the same issue, ATT had to replace the phone.

Any more news on this issue?
Same thing happened to my Atrix last week (Bell, 2.3.6, locked bootloader, unrooted).

Same here
Same problem on my original Atrix, which was replaced under warranty by AT&T six months ago. Recently my replacement Atrix has been having the same problem. Wifi won't enable and frequent reboots.
Although the phone should still be under the 1-year warranty, AT&T refuses to honor it because the screen is cracked (so much for Gorilla glass).
After getting two phones with the same problem, and hearing about countless others having the same problem, and getting screwed out of the warranty, this is definitely my last Motorola phone.

EDIT:
The "fix" that was originally posted here doesn't actually work. I'm almost certain that this is a hardware problem. As of now there is no software fix, if one even exists.
Check this thread for more info:

I recommend that you post to acknowledge you have the same problem.

i tried the script and it tells me "oops... did NOT find wpa_supplicant.conf! any help?
cafe. said:
I found a permanent solution to the problem. It was probably more obvious than I originally thought it would be. This is probably what will fix it if you recently ran some sort of 3G tweak as it probably damaged/corrupted /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf. Before I get started with what what problems my phone was having:
-'Wifi Error' message when enabled
-Random reboots when trying to enable wifi
-Bluetooth worked fine (and if you are having issues with bluetooth it may be due to a similar bluetooth related file having problems)
-Impossible to fix by flashing new roms, wiping/factory reset, and virtually every other possible thing I tried
So, just before giving up, I found something called 3Gturbocharger--which can be downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021 REMEMBER: IT'S 3GTURBOCHARGER, NOT ANY OF THE OTHER SIMILARLY NAMED FILES.
Now, the value of the script isn't really in the "tweaks" it provides, but rather the easy way it provides to reset the file of interest (/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf). Run the script using "script manager" as root, once you've done this you'll be able to run a feature within the script called Wi-fixer. Run it and reboot. The problems should all be corrected. You could also try to manually navigate to 'data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' and simply rename it to whatever you want (as the script does), at which point the old file will be replaced by a newly generated one.
I'm assuming that in your case the bluetooth equivalent of "wpa_supplicant.conf" was corrupted. Possibly /data/misc/bluetooth/dynamic_auto_pairing.conf or /data/misc/bluetooth/incoming_connection.conf. Worth a shot trying the method I described on those files as well. Try it out, you've got nothing to lose.

im getting that to

My Atrix wifi stopped working in the past, but started working again. It currently stopped working once more, giving me an Error if I turn it on. The Bluetooth has never had issues and still works, I am a month past warranty but with unlocked BL it doesn't matter anyway. This seems to be a slight issue with these phones unfortunately.
I could live with the phone without wifi, but the constant reboots are unavoidable. I notice that when I originally boot the phone, if I use it and keep the screen on it works, but as soon as I turn the screen off, it reboots. Odd to me.

Ya I have the Bell Atrix myself and I'm still on Froyo because of complaints of GB. (especially battery life) Maybe I'll do ICS, but I'll wait for some reviews since its not that easy to go backwards as say my OG SGS...

Anyone try doing this manually? I can't locate the file.

wpa_supplicant file
hi, the file is in etc/wifi and the bluetooth file is in etc/bluetooth/ i renamed the .conf files but this don't solved the problem.

[Q] i9500 randomly reboots, wifi doesn't work and other problems

Hi, I bought my GS4 i9500 around 2 months ago, and few days ago while I was listening to music, someone called me and I noticed that the phone was a bit hot. I'm not exactly sure that that was the source of this problem.
Anyway, when I put the phone down, it didn't work, and after a few seconds it rebooted.
Ever since it rebooted it keeps doing problems - it reboots once in a while, the wi-fi doesn't work, and the touch is delayed sometimes (it doesn't respond for a while, and after a few seconds it suddenly responds to all the gestures I did over the last few seconds.).
I tried factory resting it, change frimware, clear cache and everything, and still nothing worked. It still does these problems.
I took it to the store where I bought it and they flashed it, and still it didn't solve it.
The problem is I rooted the phone, and I'm afraid the warranty won't be accepted if I send them the device.
Anyone knows what the problem might be?
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks.

It worked for me to go fully back to stock. Maybe give that a shot,

If you mean by that to flash the original frimware, i've already tried that..
Any other ideas?

Noop, sorry man. when i did go fully back to stock it went off... i think its a warranty problem here.

well, i'm currently dealing with the problem too, it automatically boots itself, my reception goes off, eventough im not in a dead spot. but: it only happens if im on ~20% battery. i think its a softwaresided problem. im running on the normal stock touchwiz with android 4.2.2.
im gonna send it to the operator, maybe it really is a warranty-sided problem.

Sent to operator, unfortunately the warranty has been expired (probably because I rooted), and they want ~450$ to repair it..
Hopefully ill find some solution.

Reboots, can't call, no sound!

My nexus 6p has worked fine for months however I woke up yesterday morning to find it would not play a video on YouTube. Continuing to use it I noticed the following symptoms:
Wont play videos of any kind (youtube, Facebook etc)
Speakers do not work at all
phone hangs and will not connect during incoming or outgoing calls. The call may connect after several minutes of the screen hanging on the blue calling screen however speakers don't work anyway.
Phone restarts itself randomly
I have tried a hard reset from recovery, wiped cache, booted to safe mode etc with no change.
The phone is bone stock and has not been rooted.
Any suggestions?

At this point I'd try rooting and just flashing stock ROM, don't install anything and see where it goes. If it survives, then maybe it was a rogue app, but that's a lot for an app to do - so it could be a hardware issue.

Same problem here.

I've got the same problem, but it happens only on stock, when I've got Chroma installed, everything is fine. One time it happened under Chroma. I don't know what causes it. Reinstalling factory images or even 7.0 doesn't help. Custom kernels didn't bring any improvement either.
Maybe there are some music drivers or something.

It could be a driver thing. Didn't look like a device issue, as it'd be constant. I would go back to stock and note when it happens and then flash a custom ROM and repeat the steps, to perform a controlled test. While doing so, take logcats so Beans / others can review them.

Gone to the service becuase even on a custom ROM I couldn't get any sound. They said that it was a hardware problem (I don't agree but we will see).
