Overclock - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, my rom is overclocked to 710 and today my phone got a little hot and restarted and then it wouldn't come back on. And now when i flash non overclocked roms it works but if i flash an overclocked rom it hangs at the HTC screen. =[
Any ideas?

NVM works now, mods please delete. Sorry.

What was the solution? Or was it just gremlins.

i just want a working cyan4.2.15.1 +ramhack+oc

I tried to flash this but i can only overclock with fixed frequency using performce cpu governor. If set governor to "userspace" i cant go over 480mhz...and have not the ramhack.I dnt want eclair, absolutely. anyone can help me!?
Can you try to flash something for me?
Should not brick your phone as it is. To undo this, flash your rom back again or just replace the files back.
Built on 2.6.29 for CM4 and other Donut roms. Goes up to 576 MHz. RH might work.
In setCPU choose setcpu.txt
Flash from recovery
I tried it for about half an hour. its stable at standard frequencies, but become laggy after ocing. phone reboots 23 times in 1/2 hour.i notes android task killer sometimes kills instantly opened application. i used both ondemand and userspace governors via both setcpu and userinit.
can you please add ramhack? thx a lot xaueious
If your phone is rebooting like that something else might be up. Not sure if the rebooting is because of the thing I told you to flash. Are you doing this from a fresh Cyanogenmod 4?
Also, ramhack is not working?
Sure, no RH. now i need the phone, ill retry after 2-3 hours. stay connected.
No what I am saying is if the one I made before didn't work, then I wont be trying again. Hope someone else tries though.

Magic 32B keeps rebooting

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Magic 32B and hope one of you guys could figure out where this all come from.
Since a couple of weeks my magic has become very unstable and I would say I have about 20 to 30 freezes or reboots a day. It suddenly started when I switched from a nightly froyo to another and since then regardless on the ROM I flash I always have the same behaviour (I'm currently on the CM6 RC1).
I tried the following:
- full wipe via AmonRa + format of SD (128 SWAP + 512 EXT + FAT) clean reinstall of a presumably stable rom --> failed keeps rebooting or freezing
- I did a fastboot erase system -w + flash of a clean ROM --> failed
The bizarre thing is it never crashes when the phone is USB plugged on my laptop, therefore I've never seen a logcat showing anything bad ...
Also I can't identify any pattern or scenario which would systematically frag my magic... Even when I install a fresh new ROM, it can work pretty well for as long as an hour but then start being screwed up.
I've spent quite some time on this forum desperately looking for someone experiencing the same troubles but so far unsuccessfully ...
Would you guys have any idea ?
cheers

Probably other people will say it, but wrong forum.
Also, what ROMs have you flashed after the nightly froyo? Nightly froyos are cautioned, which I'm sure you knew.
yep, I used a couple of FroYo SP French Connection nightlies and then switched to CM V6.0.0-RC1.
(sorry if it's the wrong forum, @admins, please feel free to move it to wherever make sense)

This may not be your problem, but I found personaly that as soon as I enabled swap, my phone became a bit unstable. It was not rebooting itself when I had compcache on. Then I turned that off and switched to swap and now my phone rebooted itself sometimes. For me compcache was noticeably faster but swap multitasks better. So I've kept swap in spite of reboots. I have also found that switching between them either way my phone becomes unstable and rebooted itself multiple times before becoming stable on compcache or at least not rebooting as much on swap.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
well i had the same issue. nothing helped, i reinstalled the spl, radio, rom, recovery, everything.
the only thing that helped is :
REROOTING YOUR PHONE
there´s no other way.
have a good day.

I would expect a Donut based ROM to be fine. Which ROMs have you tried since the freezing/rebooting problem started?
The next time it reboots you should take a copy of /proc/last_kmsg and post it here. You can do so with:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg.log
Reboot cycle
I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong area, but I also have the same problem. I have a mytouch 3g (32B). I recently flashed it with "Froyo SPF Connection" and that made it reboot just about every 30 seconds. I restored it to the 1.6 Donut rom and it kept rebooting but repeated the process and now it seems fine. The problem is I don't want the 1.6 rom but that's all can have right now since everything else slows it down and freezes it. Please help me solve this problem. I'm opened to any useful recommendations and every help is appreciated.

Eclair ROMs are just as stable as donut ROMs and as fast as donut. Just don't use Froyo till it's stable. Use CM5.0.8 or any CM variant and you should be fine.
I'm having the same problem after flashing the new radio the phone will boot and as soon as its done loading the home screen it will reboot then load the home scree and turn off
Flashed French Connection ROM few days back and have had same problems as above ever sense.. Flash other ROM's and they constantly Reboot. cy 6.0 Working for me now, But only my Nandroid back up of it. Re flashed it fresh and it reboots...
why dont you reroot ur phones like i told you?
This freezing and rebooting problem is weird - it doesn't make sense a lot of the time.
I've developed a ROM based on AOSP 2.2 for the G1 and it also seemingly randomly freezes or reboots.
When it reboots it's usually the result of an ARM9 crash and so far I have tracked it down to a call to a proprietary library function which doesn't return to the correct return address. It seemingly returns to a random address and the consequences of doing so is random. Sometimes it causes a freeze or a reboot and other times it doesn't.
I'm starting to suspect something in the JNI code is causing the problem but it's difficult to track it down.
FroYo SP French Connection is overclocked to 614 by default. My Mytouch (32B) reboots and freezes constantly if i don't turn it down to 576. Try turning the overclock down in set cpu to 528 first then if its stable you can try turning it up a little.
Urgh, I hadn't considered clock speed as a potential problem.
What if some of our phones are unstable at the default Froyo maximum of 528 MHz?
I am (was) in the same situation (Magic 32B). It started with CM6 RC1 first and after it, my nandroid backups got weird too! I always wiped everything and rebooted by myself several times. I never played with overclocking, compcache or ext partition - but after trying other FROYO ROMs as well, even a clean install of CM5.0.8 final was unstable got fc's and rebooted...
So, after one year of trying nearly every ROM out there, i finally made a decision: i went back to my stock rooted 1.5 cupcake!! Yes, 1.5! I never tried this ROM before - even in my first days i immediately switched to sense...
And what should i say? I'm blown away by the speed and stability of this ROM! Unbelievable! ... sad day ... really sad ....
And my decision after that: i will wait for an official FROYO for Magic, which was at least officially announced...
sad, sad, sad...

Well, i think - like my approach - rerooting will not bug down the fault in FROYO ROMs. I hope it will be sorted out, but for me the daily flashing is over for now. I really appreciate the hard work of all the devs and i also donated to some, but at the end of the day i just want my phone and don't want to wait for going to homescreen or missing a call because of the lags...

Well, I think default for stock unrooted phones is like three hundred something you could try that but it would be really slow.

I totally agree. I know waiting for the official Froyo for the Magic may take years before it's finally released, but I'm tired of flashing and testing new roms every day without getting the results I want. As a result of this frustration, I will go back to Donut 1.6 for now and wait for the official update. Hopefully 5.1 won't be out before we finally get the update

Yes, I will find out the maximum Donut clock speed and test at that speed.

Unfortunately the phone still rebooted due to an ARM9 crash.
I've attached a small CM6 RC1 update as a test fix for the ARM9 crashing.
Anyone experiencing random freezing or reboots should give it a try by copying it to your SD card and boot to recovery to flash it.
If you install the test fix but still experience random reboots I'd appreciate if you could upload a copy of /proc/last_kmsg to http://android.pastebin.com and post the link to it in here. A logcat up to the point of the reboot would be very helpful too.

[Q] Please Help me!

hy,
before i begin, sorry for my english!
i have a big Problem and i dont know what i can do now to fix it!
My x4HD is on Jelly Bean Zaiben´s Rom.

ClockWorkMod and
EternityProject Kernel (LGSTOCK)
my phone runs very well,
so try a AnTuTu benchmark test!
but before the test finishd my phone hangs up and i cant restart it.
so i take the battery out.
phone starts normal but it says there is NO SIM CARD IN!!

Go into recovery mode and clear the cache - see if that fixes it.
Otherwise reflash Zaiben from recovery.
Why do you want to try a benchmark anyway? I don't understand why anyone cares what benchmarks say - they aren't real world tests. If the phone feels fast to you, then it is fast - simple.

Hung on CM/Hellybean Loadscreen after normal reboot

Hi guys,
my i9000 often gets stuck in the bootanimation, im using latest Hellybean from 27.10.13. It runs pretty smooth, but sometimes when i simply reboot my phone, it just gets stuck in the animation. I have no idea, why this happens.
Im using swap, zram with 30%, live oc @105%, and link2sd...
Does anyone have any idea, what is the source of this problem or does anyone have similar problems and was able to fix or lessen that bug?
To get out of the loop, i simply restore my latest backup, but its pretty annoying to do this every 2nd day and i dont think, that this is how the device should work.
Greetings
Maybe you can find some hints in the boot.txt ...hope hellybean write it, too ...

[Q] Lagging system/random dead phone

Yo guys, please i need ur help, im fighting with this for 2 days and i think i cant win this battle against my phone.
So the problem is:
First, i installed P.A 4.0 beta kit kat with iodak v9 kernel, the phone was going random dead. I thought is the problem with P.A cause is beta so i went to Vanir 4.3.1. I went got iodak v9 kernel again and it was doing this same for me. Random dead phone (off had to make him on)
So i tho its problem with kernel so i back to iodak 8v5 fixed from anykernel project. Yea, phone is no random dead anymore but when its going to deep sleep (i think cause when i wont use phone for 2h) and i try to use it again, the whole system android is lagging so much.
Guys, pls, help me. What i have to do? something bad with my phone or with drivers/system/android?
I have done dalvik wipe and cache everytime.
Second question is ... how to formate sd card? I cant, from computer and from android (no option) from recovery when im doing format storage sd card1 is getting error. What i have to do?
The most important is first question so please help me!
Thanks!

You are probably suffering from throttling.Make sure max CPU frequency is @ 1500 mhz.I'm on PA 4.0 beta with iodak v9.0(or 9.1, doesn't really matter) and having no problems at all.
Also to fix your SD card, get an SD card reader (USB microSD reader or laptop, both works.) and install minitool partition wizard on windows.First wipe the SD card with it and then format to fat32.Make sure you label it or else it won't be visible in windows.It'll still work on android though.
Also could you explain "Random dead"? Shutdown? BlackScreenOfDeath? Either way I'd say it's caused by heat.
Thanks so much for answer.
As i know v9 is max 1500 mhz? so how it go throttling? and throttling when i didnt do anything? phone was just on deep sleep? I was already using v8.5 on official cm 10.1 rc 3 and no problems and it was 1,7.. mhz
So i will change now to 1,5 and see if the problem is still there or not.
edit: yes i meant Shutdown... or just black screen but i could hear if someone is calling to me. Sometimes only black screen and i dont hear anything but when u were calling to me u could hear signal like a phone is on not off
Ok, seem is not the problem with 1700 mhz.. phone again gone..

You say you can't format the SD-Card - what happens when you try?
As you have this problem on two different ROMs, I'd be tempted to flash back to Stock and make sure you don't get similar problems there - that way you can isolate the hardware from the equation and start with a fresh platform for reflashing custom ROMs afterwards.
well i dont have even option to format my sd card. When i want do it from android vanir 4.3.1 there is no option. The only one is make off ur sd card. From windows when i click right mouse i can see only how much gb is used/free. No option to format. Whats bad? i tried from recovery too but then i got only fail, no number of issue or sth..
And @ rom... today on night it was looking good.. 30% per cent on battery... i made localisation off and went sleep.. i wake up moring and battery was 0%. No idea why, i made battery now 100% and looking if the problem is still there. Actually its working fine not sure for how long. Im still on 1500 mhz. If it will work today fine it mean the problem was @1700 mhz but why? when i was already using 1700 mhz with 4.2.2 and no issues..
And why in night i lost 30% of battery too? the problem with off localisation or what? or my phone need at least one connection with internet, since i dont have wifi etc so its fresh install wihout internet connect..
I hope u know what im talking @ cause my english is not good haha
Thanks for help!!!

You don't format your SD Card from within Android OS - you do it from Recovery only.
Ignore all your other problems. You have so many different issues that other people don't report, so there is something major wrong.
Re-flash to Stock (Recovery and ROM) via .kdz and then start troubleshooting from there.
Actually is working fine, no battery drain and no shutdown. I made @1500 mhz. Still dont know why there was problem with @1700. I will write here if the problem will be again. Then i will try with stock.
From recovery i cant format idk why... clicking on it format storage/android/data and getting error - failed to format or sth
Ty for help.
