Self-titled. I have cyanogens newest, and it actually reboots outta nowhere with dwang's and i was just wondering why it's doing this.
Mine has done this too but I was running Enoch theme and now I'm on the stock 2.0 theme. It's only done it twice but both times the battery was really low. Was yours?
no it hasn't it's just when i do regular stuff it boots itself =/
does it completely reboot (as in back to the T-Mobile G1 black screen) or does it just go back to the animated Android screen?
There are several possiblities that could cause this from a faulty sdcard to the theme that you are running. Hell... even the battery could cause this.
The only way to be sure is to eliminate the possiblities.
Reformat your sdcard/ext partitions.
Wipe your phone
Reflash the rom
If you still have the same problem then it could even be hardware related.
Difficult to tell without the logcat or last_kmsg file (located in /data/dontpanic directory).
Restarts
I just recently moded my phone to cyanogen on G1. Same issue. It actually restarts itself and then goes into droid on skateboard.

Ok so my G1 is jacked up appariently...
What im running is in my sig, basically what happened is i was using my phone today, the thing was working absolutely fine with no issues whatsoever, but was a little on the slow side, so i figured that i would reboot it to speed it up some
So i rebooted it, the G1 screen came up, everythings fine... Then the blue Android screen came up, everythings fine... Then the Android screen went away and instead of going to home all it did was stay on a black screen and hasent done anything whatsoever, ive tried pulling the battery and rebooting multiple times and it always hangs on this black screen... i wasent even doing anything when i was on it last, it was just a little slow so i thought ide give it a reboot...
any help would be appreciated on how to get my phone back!
Try to boot w/o the cd card. Or try to flash a nandroid backup. Or flash the newest cyan rom 4.0.4.
Sounds like it crashed on you, reboot into recovery, wipe so the whatever the problem was does not carry over and flash a new rom or try a nandroid backup if you got one. Yes this has happened to me and this should work for you
"Theme :: Open Home"
ummm is Open Home an actual theme made for cyan 4.0.2 or are you referring to the app on the market called OpenHome?
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?
All,
I received a replacement N1 yesterday from HTC as my previous one developed an earpiece issue. After unlocking the bootloader for the first time, it seems that the phone is overheating and randomly rebooting. I reflashed to stock, with the only exception being the unlocked bootloader using a guide found on this forum.
This was my first experience unlocking the bootloader and trying to flash a rom. I've attached a logcat to see if any info can be provided.
Thanks.
EDIT:
N1 - 1 day old HTC refurb
2.2.1
FRG83
Baseband - 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel - 2.6.32.9-27240-gbca5320
Is the phone actually getting hot?
This is why I don't get why people get a phone and IMMEDIATELY start loading custom ROMs and such on it.. Use it stock for a few days to make sure it's good.
No it's not getting overly hot. My original N1 got much hotter.
Its my fault for not waiting, I do realize this.
I did wait 6 hours or so, but I know it wasn't enough. Got a bit anxious to load CM6.1.
I had first accidentally loaded Insecure boot which made the rebooting much more common, but went back to stock, and loaded superboot. Everything was fine for a little while, then the rebooting started again.
Just trying to see if I can figure out the issue before giving HTC a call.

when i got my nexus back in early january, i dont think that i waited more than a hour before i unlocked the bootloader anyways, your phone seems fine. iy could just be the stock rom you flashed or kernel panics(i doubt). flash cyanogenmod and see if you still get the reboots. unlocking the bootloader doesnt have anything to do with a phone overheating and rebooting. besides, what is overheating? how hot does it get? ive gotten mine to 49C(120F) before
Well that's the thing, it really hasn't gotten that hot. I was just assuming it could be related as it was rebooting after sitting on the charger for a while or trying to download multiple apps from the Market. I was able to get as far as downloading ROM Manager and was part way through the CM6.1 download when the reboots from hell came back.
I used the Signed Passion FRG83 images to reflash.
I'm now attempting to format the SD card to see if it changes anything.

it sounds like youre stressing the phone(kernel). try to download 1 thing at a time for now. are you overclocked by chance?
I am not. The phone is bone stock at the moment.
Hm, it looks like i'm on FRG83 not 83D. The SD card is having some issues unmounting and i'm not receiving the OTA update to 83D
Yes - it is overheating!
My original phone did not have the problem. Every replacement phone I got from HTC crashes after 5 minutes or less on every application that made my original phone warm to the touch.
Applications that cause this:
RoboDefense
Tower Raiders
Speed Pi (run multiple times)
Curling
I am trying to get HTC to send me a 3rd replacement!
So as an update I formatted the SD card, and it seemed to have helped for a while.
I had the phone in the charger last night and was speaking on the phone for about 10-15 minutes until it started rebooting again. This time it was stuck on the X so i had to remove the battery.
Not sure what's going on...
So looking through the logcat's i've noticed these lines as failed:
E/Zygote ( 58): setreuid() failed. errno: 17
W/DevicePolicyManagerService( 78): failed parsing /data/system/device_policies.xml java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/device_policies.xml (No such file or directory)
D/SntpClient( 78): request time failed: java.net.UnknownHostException: north-america.pool.ntp.org
I'm not sure if it means anything.
The firmware was downgraded to FRG33 and OTA updated to FRG83D
Will probably be sending this back and hoping the unlocked bootloader won't make it cost a fortune to repair...
Hi guys,
Gone through about 100 threads these last couple of days, but nothing helps, so have to start a new one.
What happened was that the other day my phone started ringing.
The screen however was black, so I could neither see who was calling nor answer the call.
I let it ring out, then I held the power button so it would shutdown.
Tried to restart it, and that's when the fun started.
The phone got stuck in a boot-loop, only showing the Galaxy S logo (not getting to the animated one).
Left it in this loop for several hours, since I've had problems recently with the phone needing to do this cycle 5-10 times before booting up.
This time it wouldn't boot, however.
I've tried putting the phone in a bag of rice for 18 hours, in case of any moisture inside, not helping.
Then I tried recovery-mode, formatting the whole thing, but I got the following error:
"E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
Found this thread to try to fix the format error.
Got into download mode, but Odin does not recognize the phone, and I started believing all hope for fixing it without sending it in was gone.
I've also tried applying a couple of update.zip's from the SD-card, just to have tried it, but every package got Signature verifcation-error.
Anyway, when I headed to bed last night I left the phone in the boot-loop, and to my surprice, 8 hours later it had booted into first-time configuration.
YES!!!
Configured the phone with language etc., then all of a sudden the animated Galaxy S logo appeared...
And it appeared again, and again, and again for about 15 min., until I unplugged the battery.
And now I'm back at square one, stuck in the boot-loop (not getting to the animated logo)...
I have the latest versjon of KIES, not that it probably matters.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
What rom were you using? stock or custom? Maybe it has something to do with lagfix if it was activated... im guesing, im not dev just normal user... Maybe try to reinstal usb drivers.
Just use odin 1.3 reflash official rom , everything would be OK.
Not sure about the ROM, bought the phone used... But pretty sure it's stock..
Since Odin didn't recognize the phone, reflashing it with official ROM would be hard...
However, as for the Odin problem, that was caused by a faulty USB-cable...
Used another one, and Odin worked like a charm.
The phone won't start after running through the steps in the thread I mentioned before, but I will try to reflash it with offical ROM now and see how that works.

Not sure about used phone, But if I bought the phone used, I would reflash rom first. Because I do not even know what they done before , reflash offical rom would be fix some problem.

Well, I would have if I knew... But stupid me thought that a phone was a phone.
How wrong was I?
Anyway, a little update here (the problem is kind of solved now):
Flashed the phone with 2.3.3 Gingerbread I found on dkszone, after running the steps in the previous mentioned thread.
And the phone started like a charm.
But after a few hours of configuring etc, I managed to insert the SD-card again, and all hell broke loose again...
Come to think about it, thats what I did yesterday too, so I've come to the conclusion that the SD-card is the main problem...
However, now the phone is slow... REAL slow... Kind of like my 1.5 year old HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WP6.5...
It takes up to 2 seconds to open menu items, keyboard etc.
Is there any way to fix that?
Or should I flash it with another ROM?
You mean the external sdcard? Maybe try to format it...
OK, so this is what I've now figured out:
The phone is damaged...
It seems that the internal SD has gone AWAL, and internal storage has somehow created itself on the external SD-card, thus the phone crashed when I switched cards...
When trying to format the USB-storage, I receive error: SD-card has been removed
So I guess I have to ship the phone off to Samsung ASAP...
Hello All,
I'm fairly certain there isn't another thread asking this question, if I overlooked it I apologize in advance. Now to the point, I have a dell streak 7 and I have been having some stability issues with it for about the last week. What was happening is I was running Android 2.2.2 and my system would crash randomly eventually it wouldn't start back up. I tried doing a factory restore several times this didn't work so I re-flashed to restore the original file system and I installed the T-mobile system by mistake. I played around with this for a little bit and every thing seemed fine. So I decided to upgrade to 3.2 honeycomb, I flashed the DS7 did all of the set up steps and started reading about rooting the device (I didn't start any of the steps). While it was sitting next to me in sleep mode I noticed it just randomly reset itself and started booting up. I looked around in it and nothing seemed to be changed, so I powered it off and powered it back on to see if it would freeze up and crash again. it didn't so I put it back in sleep mode and kept reading. then the side lights came on and it froze up. I was able to get it to boot by going into recovery mode and then selecting boot normally. So my question is, is this some sort of hardware issue or something that I am doing wrong? I don't think it's hardware but I could be mistaken. Also, has anyone else had an issue like this and if so is there a known fix? I am going to try re-flashing to the original file system again and replace the restore .img and see if this helps. Also, I'm not sure if my DS7 is the mobile version or wifi only version. I entered the service tag at DELL's website and it said I had the mobile version, however it didn't have the t-mobile start up animation before I flashed it the first time and in the sim card slot there is a black piece of plastic or card (IDK which) lodged in there and it wont come out. Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks in advance-Woulfenstien
OK I'm pretty sure i got it solved. what I did was I re-flashed everything. I re-flashed the boot.img, the system.img, and the recovery.img using fastboot and then i re-flashed whole system with nvflash. It's been a couple of hrs. and this has seemed to work so far. I upgraded back to 3.2 honeycomb and rooted the device with no problems so far. If any other issues arise I will post them here along with what i did to fix it. I would also like to thank everyone on this forum who has posted the tutorials, it was a huge help I wouldn't have been able to fix my DS7 with out all of your help.
Thanks again-Woulfenstien
