Hi Everyone
Just a question, I need some suggestions. I was running CM 5.0.6 when the froyo leak occured, and I used paul's update file to upgrade my phone straight from 5.0.6. Then I decided like so many others that I wanted to revert back to CM as it seemed much more stable. However, when I downloaded 5.0.7.1 and installed it, the phone would not boot. I tried wiping and reinstalling, downgrading the radio, everything, but the furthest I ever got was for it to get to the first time user wizard and then it would reboot. I reverted back to my 5.0.6 nandroid back up with no issues, but would really like to upgrade to 5.0.7.1 and live on the bleeding edge! Anyone have any ideas?

i have had my ATT N1 for a few months now and all has been great. I rooted awhile back and have been using Cyanogen 5.0.7 to great success. I have the pershoot kernal and never really had any issues.
Well, that has all changed. Recently I have been rebooting any many different occasions. It almost always does it when I am in Maps and navigation, which is not good because I need it in my life having relocated.
I have decided that maybe I will look to update my Cyanogen or maybe go over to 2.2. I did this today and still having these issues. I tried Kang and it still rebooted randomly and when I tried Modacos r17 it just would keep rebooting at the setup screen. I think that has to do with not having the stock kernal.
Any clues as to what is happening? I really need help and do not want to stop using Android, but I need my phone to be reliable.
If it happens on any ROM and with no correlation to anything - sounds like HW problem.
Did you use overclocked kernel?
I do have a overclocked under volted kernal
sounds like bad sw. get back to stock 2.1 update 1 (if you can) and see if your phone is stable...
WIPE all ( everything ) , and flash 2.2

Follow those 3 easy steps there !
Does your phone lock up (unresponsive) before rebooting?
Phone doesnt lock up. I tried wiping evertyhing but could not wipe the sd partition. Is that necessary? I have done full wipe's (data, dalvik, & cache) and still had similar results. I have updated my kernal to the newest pershoot and I installed Kang .9b1 and so far have only had 1 rebbot. It happened when I was in the browser and went to a flash heavy site to see how it worked. Is there any 2.2 roms that keep it close to stock? I am not a total fan of adw launcher.
Have a look in this thread,

I'm really determined to figure out what is causing this issue for so many people! I've managed to cure my reboots for the time being, and it seems it is kernel related. That said, we need as many people as possible to give feedback as experiences seem to differ in regards to the ROMs and Kernels people are using.
Regards.
I looked over that thread and see some similarities but it is still not totally consistent with my issues. I am running Kang now fine but still have reboots that I won't call so random anymore. It happens when I use Maps for the first time, and definitely when I go to a flash site on the browser.
I cannot successfully use any other ROM since once I install it it goes into boot loop. This is driving me crazy and do not like the thought of being stuck to one ROM since it is the complete reason I bought this phone.
I flashed with the stable build of CM7 on my N1. This the first time I have flashed it.
For awhile it was working ok. There were a few bugs here and there, but no showstoppers.
But now, the Launcher has decided to not work at all. It's completely unresponsive to any touch, and it's in an infinite FC loop. My phone is useless now. I've rebooted, powered off, cleaned the cache -- nothing is working.
My question is... can I flash it back to stock? This is beyond frustrating, and I'd rather just stick with a no frills stock OS without all the bells and whistles.
Yes, read the wiki's on how to flash to stock.
Did you do a full wipe before flashing cm7? This include welling the system partition
i followed each and every step of the CM7 instructions.
thanks! i will look into it.
If you flashed CM 7.1 Then i had the same problems as my N1 locked solid.
After a few minutes of flashing it used to become unresponsive and all.
I tried everything but sadly havent been able to find a solution.
I say you should try Cm 7.0.3 That is very stable. I am currently using that and am loving it!!
My Alltel heroc randomly soft resets itself. It's done this while unrooted and on the stock 2.1 ROM, and most recently again after I rooted and flashed CM7 on it.
The only change I can think of causing this behavior is that I installed the CWM Tether app on it, but I find it difficult to blame the app for this behavior.
I've perused other threads, but none of them seem to offer any help or solutions. What should I do? Thanks in advance.
Update!
The phone was originally S-on, this did not seem to affect flashing CM7 or anything though. I got the phone S-off, then changed recoveries to CWM from darthstar recovery. I had seen that CM 7.2 had been updated to RC3 for the heroc, so I downloaded it, wiped everything, and flashed it. I also formatted the SD card before and after the flash. I hope this will take care of it for good.
hopefully your issues are gone for good, but if they come back and you figure out what the deal was please let us know
Hello guys,
I have a samsung gt-i9000 with cyanogen 10.1.3 and a few days ago I had experienced some problems, the home button stopped working. I tried quite a few things, based on the info I found on this site and others (like factory reset), but no joy.
SO I thought to myself, better reflash the ROM, but to be honest, if I do that, I might as well install the latest one (10.2.1), and so I decided to do that, but before I start I have a few questions:
I had a look around but I couldn't really find a definite answer to the following questions, so I thought I might post here.
1)Has anybody encountered any issue on the gt-i9000 with the latest ROM?
2)Can I backup all my apps, upgrade the ROM and then reinstall everything from the backup, rather than downloadeing all the apps again? I have never done that before, so I am not sure if it is possible
3)I had a look at the cyanogen mode site and found the relevant info http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd, but I was wondering something: occasionally on my phone a message appears
and asks me whether I want to update the ROM to the latest available one. I have always dismissed that, but I am thinking, can I do the upgrade from there without going through the trouble of reflashing
it (following the instructions above), or is it essentially the same thing?
4)In the instructions it says "The install guide assumes the Galaxy S is running Android 2.3.". Now, last time I have upgraded - from cyanogen 7 to 10.1 - I attempted to install directly 10 over 7 and things
went horrible wrong. I then reflashed the ROM to 2.3 and then installed cyanogen 10.1 and it was OK. DO I have to do the same thing again and install 2.3. first and then 10.2? If so where do I get 2.3 from?
Thanks
Sorry, can somebody move this under questions, just realized that this isn't the right place.

1) Didn't use CM, been on OmniROM
2) You can use Titanium Backup
3)Yeah, you could do that, update it via CMUpdater
4)Just before you install a ROM with a higher android Version, always wipe /system partition.
cool thanks!
