My G1 randomly shuts off! It shuts off at least 2 times a day and cant turn it back on unless i have the usb connected.I have also just installed cyanogen 5 which is soo cool but my G1 is making me angry!! Can someone help me please
Im in the same boat but it was happening to me on CM 4.2.15.1 with normal SPL, Engineer SPL, Danger SPL, CM 5.0.7, with or with/without Enoch theme. I'd like to think it was the battery as thats an easier fix and the problem seems to coincide with when I 1st tried to wipe the battery data. I've done a factory wipe (does this wipe davlik/battery data?), used a difft (freshly partitioned) SDcard, installed DangerSPL, installed Cyan's CM5.0.7 (diff't kernal, right?) and still no luck. Last thing to try is reinstalling the radio, even tho I don't think this will help, but the crash only seems to happen when I'm on the phone or actively using other data connections.
leave ur phone off for a while. about 1-4 hours. then take out battery, and sim, then put them back in and try turning it on. this happened to me and this works
UPDATE: So after un-rooting back to stock android 1.0 and again experiencing these crashes yet still not having one crash with power supply attached I've narrowed down my problem to either the battery (hopefully) or the phone hardware itself (hopefully not). Find out later on today...
I have already unrooted and rooted all over but didnt work but i will try what g1user101 said. Thanks Does clearing the dalvik cache and battery stats help too?
Hey guys,
I upgraded my G1/Dream from an older cyanogen version, to the newer one 4.2.15.1
and now for some reason my phone keeps restarting Any reason why ?
Can you please tell me how to fix it?
I've taken battery out & Also 'green+home+red' . Same keeps happening.
It restarts when it wants, can be 2 minutes, 10, 30.. but lately ever 1 minute or so..
What can I do?

Anyone?? please
I'd recommend a full wipe and reinstall of your desired rom from scratch. Sounds like kernel panics to me.
my g1 was freezin up alot on cm4.15.1.... before it died and i had to get it replace....try unrootin and then root again and if it doesnt work it could be a hardware prob.

Why would you completely unroot and reroot? That's just too much work.
Wipe, and reflash. Also, a few apps have a problem with custom ROMs, try disabling apps that run in the background one by one until you find that your phone no longer reboots.
However, if you didn't wipe, I highly recommend that as the person before me said.
Hey
I had posted earlier about my N1 not connecting to my network. I thought the problem was fixed, but I guess I was wrong. The problem is deeper than that. I flashed CM7 Nightly. All was well but the mobile network wasn't working. The reception bars were zero with a small cross on them. I flashed MM's Gingerbread. The network got stuck like that. No bars. On the lockscreen it read "(No Service)|Airtel" (airtel being the name of my service provider). Then I found out that audio wasn't working either. No audio from the speakers or 3.5mm jack. I changed roms, changed sims, everything. Nothing worked. I tried my sim in another phone and it worked perfectly.
I then tried updating the hboot. It seemed to have worked but a reboot later I was back on square one.
I then tried to update my radio (I'm on 4.6. Tried to update to 5.12) but on connecting the USB cable the notification didn't pop up. The charging LED lit up but that's all. I tried mounting my SD card through AmonRA's recovery but my PC did not detect it.
What could be wrong with my Nexus One? I've been using this phone for about 10 months now and after this I'm back to my old Sony Ericsson w705. It's unbearable. Somebody please help me. Any help will be appreciated.

Have you tried returning to stock to see if the situation improves?
You did do a nandroid backup of your stock ROM before flashing everything yes?

I rooted when I still had eclair and haven't been on stock ever since. I have a nandroid backup of my stock eclair ROM. I think I'll download a stock FRF91 and try it. I updated the radio to 5.12 but it has had no effect on the problem. I'll try a stock 2.2 ROM tomorrow since it's night here in India right now. Thanks for your response.

Hey, sorry for my long absence. I had been caught up.
Well, here's where I stand: I tried all the roms I could find- stock 2.2, cm 5, cm 6, cm 7, MIUI, 2.3, everything. But my phone just shows no service. Nothing in the device status too. There is no audio, neither through the speaker, nor through the 3.5mm port. And the worst of all, it refuses to mount the SD card. When I connect my N1 to my PC the charging LED glows orange but no USB mount message appears. I've tried mount widgets and apps but nothing happens. I can't even mount the SD card through the recovery (Amon RA, latest). I tried ADB devices but it didn't show any connected devices. What should I do?
I'm currently using my old Sony Ericsson w705 and going from Android to J2ME isn't really something anyone would like. I will be really grateful if someone could help me fix my beloved N1.

I guess you're out of options - restore your phone to stock and send to HTC for repairs. This seems to be the only answer to your troubles.
Read my signature, look there for Unroot/restore guide, PASSIMG method, using FRG33 ROM. Execute the guide. If your phone starts working - great, if not - send to HTC.

Hey
I tried the PASSIMG.zip method. I got back to stock hoping it would fix the problems but no luck there. I live in India so it's unlikely I will be able to send the phone to HTC. Besides, I unlocked my bootloader so my warranty is void.
Anyway, I think I may have found a lead. After the PASSIMG.zip didn't fix it, I went back to CM7 nightlies. I installed SPB shell ui. It comes with it's own wallpaper and changed my wallpaper to its own wallpaper. Anyway, I was updating the nightly build and I did a complete wipe a couple of times. After I flashed the new build and it booted, I realized that the wallpaper from the SPB shell ui was still there. I have a habit of wiping every time I flash. When I updated again it was gone. But a few builds later it was back.
What I think is that there is something wrong in the system partition and clearing it might solve the problem. But then again, I might be wrong. I would appreciate some advice on this matter.
Regards
Raptor
Edit: I wiped the /system partition through root explorer. It didn't fix the problem. Could there be some other files in the phone memory that could be causing this problem?
Hi. I would post this in froyomod topic but i can't because i'm new and stuff.
I know a lot of people have the exact opposite problem, but after i upgraded my froyomod to 2.7 my wi-fi won't turn off anymore.
I mean, i can turn it off but after a while it turns back on again. Even when the device is locked. I wouldn't mind my wi-fi on 24/7 but sometimes i need my phone for the whole day and if wi'fi is always on my battery won't last half the day.
Does anyone else have this problem? can it be fixed?
Thanks in advance!
Try flashing the Rom again and wiping both Cache Partition and
Dalvik cache. If it don't work, do a Nandroid backup and then a Factory reset and see what happens. If the problem is fixed, restore the Nandroid, make a backup of everything that's important and then do the factory reset again. This way you don't lose anything.
I tried flashing the rom again and the problem is still there, and since it was pissing me off i went back to froyomod 2.6, but guess what? My wi-fi turns on by itself on that version too...
So i guess the problem is on my device. I should try another rom and see how it goes.
Also, i did reset all the data and tried everything. This is really pissing me off.
Sounds like you have y5 on an ext partition

Sorry, but what does that mean? Can i fix it? I even tried formatting my SD Card completely but it didn't work. I had the same problem in all the roms i used.
Ah ok. That's pretty weird.
Y5 is an app that automatically connects to wifi networks but there is no setting to disable it.

This is really weird since the only apps i use are facebook, twitter, and some others that don't update automatically.
Anyways, thanks for the help. I give up.
Hey everyone, after a year of not caring about any mods or hacks for my galaxy s I thought that I should get one problem out of this world.
I am talking about the constantly flashing led buttons...so I stumbled upon BLN control which needed a special kernel, so I downloaded the promoted Kernel Flasher and the .tar file of the manual site of BLN (the site i was linked to via my mobilephone when opening BLN).
That tar file was called something with odin in it (not the "update" version). I used odin back in the days I remember...anyways, while in kernel flasher i inserted that tar file...and the kernel was installed, auto-reboot and since then it restarts on loops. Loads the desktop, checks for sd cards...you can scroll around a bit...then after 8 seconds it gets black and restarts.
I am really desperate here, because my exams are coming up and due to my carelessness I have this nasty problem to solve on top of that. Arghh...
There are some appz with important information in it (like notes), a clear swipe would be the absolute last resort here.
Can I recover my old kernel (didn't backup my old one), or replace/update with a new, working one? Through the recovery menue?
If you'd be so kind to step by step explain how it should be done? and I will cease any modding, hacking after this one. -_-
It is a rooted 2.3.3 Gingerbread kernel, as far as i can remember.
Can you go to download mode ? if so flash the .tar file as pda in odin. MAKE SURE IT'S THE RIGHT KERNEL FOR YOUR DEVICE.

Thanks for the tip.
This morning I played around with this bootlooping phenomenon a bit and found out, that when I immediately close any wlan or phone signal my phone works normal...just that I cannot phone anyone, or be phoned, or surf the net.
I manually did a backup of all my important files now, phew.
When using backup programs my phone resets immediately too.
Ok, long story short, I got my firmware, kernel info now, so you might be able to tell me which kernel, firmware would be appropriate for me (didn't update for a year now, so I am not on top of the news).
Kernel/file that screwed up my phone:
i9000_jvh_backlightNotification_v3.0_odin.tar
My actual Kernel Version:
2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #51
Buildnumber:
Gingerbread.XWJVB
I am able to enter the download mode, but which . tar-file should I use in your opinion? What's a good one today?
Ah, I see the light, maybe I once again will be able to phone again.

do you want to use a Samsung stock kernel or do you wanna give a try to Cyanogenmod stable or something like that?
Last time I saw samfirmware sites I saw that 2.3.6 was avaible for Europe...
Well... that's your choice!!!
Will I be able to keep the functionality of BLN, that keeps those led-buttons at the bottom turned off?
With a Samsung Stock-Kernel you will loose the BLN-Feature. You can try flashing another Kernel which has implemented this feature too. I used the SemaphoreKernel which has this feature. (works on all GB-Roms)
If you try Cyanogenmod you will loose BLN too. But Cm has a feature called "LED-Notification" which does the same as BLN does.
So, I downloaded update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip should I go on with this manual? http: //jjpda.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-71-on-i9000.html ?
Or do I have to go back from a root to apply this new one?
Which program do I use on PC, and which one on my phone again? :O
Search in Cyanogenmod wiki for i9000,you will find all the steps to follow..
You need 1st TO root the phone, than install ROM manager, install CWM, place CM7 zip on internal SD, remove SIM And ext. SD,reboot into recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash CM7 zip and reboot.
Don't forget:
-fully charge your phone before starting
-read CM7 wiki page
Hope this might help you.

Well, I did everything the wiki told me to do and here i am with a new rom.
But now my SIM-CARD isn't recognized anymore. I accidently forgot what bedo told me in his last post, and left that card inside while flashing. My bad, i guess.
But what can I do now? I re-flashed, wiped already, with no success, my sim card is still absent in cyanmod. :\

Can you post a screenshot about info of your phone with CM7?
(long press power button and select Screenshot when you are in the info menu )
Here some info for your amusement. Have fun!
Supposed we get to a solution, so I can use my phone for communication purposes again, I wanted to format the internal sd memory of my phone.
Can I just format it, then just leave the flash files on it, to reflash again?
How does that work?
Also, I flashed that googleappz package rom too after the cynomod flash, as I was supposed to by wiki manual.
But I cannot find google maps, android market etc.
I wonder if there is any connection to my initial sim card problem.
But first things first I guess...wanna do some calls :\
Thanks so far for all the good souls trying to help me!
try to flash cm7 radio .
What is the difference exactly? Includes a radio option?
Does it also have the option to turn off the led sensor buttons?
Has it an option to do phone calls too?
PS: I cannot seem to find any cyanmod radio file...hmm

O_O OMG!
Seems no SIM card detected....
Very very strange...
Like the fact that you flash GApps and you can't see market...
Did you wipe cache and Dalvik cache?
+ try this:
"Settings -> Location&Security -> Set up SIM card lock -> Lock SIM card (uncheck)"
I found that in some cases might help.

Take a look here and try with JVK if it works...
I wiped everything possible in recovery mode, flashed that ominous JVC rom, then googleappz. At least now I can shop in the android market. But the sim card still is in the land beyond imagination.
Has my sim card been...bricked?
Which other flash files do you suggest me to try out now? Or should I get me another sim card from the store?
Everything's solved! And the solution was too easy to believe...
Checked the sim card slot more deeply and found out that the sim card wasn't placed in correctly. I seem to have taken it out through the flashing process and in all the "commotion" quickly put it in wrong. Sorry for the big fuzz, everyone.
At least now I got some training with flashing.
So, should I reflash the first cyanmod again?
no you don't need to reflash the rom, cause you already flashed twice plus wiped all possible options...!
I just didn't want to ask you to check if the SIM card was insert properly,
but that would solve your issue faster...!
Enjoy CM7!
Well, I had some time to try out the performance and stability of this mod.
Games definitely are running with a some lag (also reaction time of the sensor to control your game, makes them unplayable).
I tried to uncheck the Cyanmod setting option "Dithering" and "JIT"..also put the cpu settings to "performance".
To be sure I formatted internal SD and external SD.
My phone had some problems finding my external SD, but some guy on the net told to go to Cyanmod settings, applications, use internal memory...and now I use my external SD for everything I guess?
Maybe this is because everything is in slowmo?
Maybe the firstly flashed mod was more...stable?
So, my question would be how to use my internal sd card, maybe it gets faster then?
