Random Reboots with 2.1 update - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else experience random reboots when they updated to 2.1? When i updated to the official 2.1 ruu from sprint, thats the only problem ive had with 2.1 when i updated a month ago. So when i flash a rom based on the ruu the random reboots are still there. Any help?

no idea either i take it?

Try the .6 version rom in android dev section. It might fix issue

i am running the .6 rom

I've been experiencing random reboots with DarchDroid.

i dont think it has to do with any of the roms ive flashed, it did this before i rooted my phone but it started when i updated my phone from 1.5 to 2.1 when sprint released the 2.1 ruu. I dont why its doing this.

Looks like everyone is as stumped as i am, the random reboots are killing me!!

random reboots
Flashed dd2.7 to my ex's hero and she had the same prob. The rom was overclocked a little too high for her phone. Threw on setcpu brought it down to 672 and no prob since.

You're probably holding it wrong

I get them aswell atleast 1 per day. never while on the phone just randomly while sitting in front of me.

Yes there are many post @ Android Forums about this also, many have tried many things but to no avail, the recent one is some think it maybe related to GPS, so they do the GPS fix, you can all try that, mine reboots also from time to time out of no where and not even touching the phone, and lets all keep in mind I am not rooted so if the others with this issue are also not rooted you may want top mention that in your post !!, here is the GPS fix pasted below
1. Call Sprint and have them give you the MSL CODE for your phone.
Or use this method posted in the forum to get your MSL, C&P also below, hope it helps some of you
2. Dial ##4772579#
3. Enter the MSL code that you recieved from Sprint.
4. Your phone will reboot.
5. After your phone starts up again it should not reboot because of a GPS crash
C&P From Kyouko ( Thanks )​
Before doing this make sure you have aLogcat. You can get this from the Market
Also its easier to find your MSL if you go into alogcat and "clear log" before doing these steps.​
First off I'll start by saying I have tried this on my phone , the official sprint update..
Anyway, I came across this screwing around a couple months ago when I wanted to reset my PRI, and apparently it still works with 2.1 roms.
Before doing this make sure you have aLogcat. Also its easier to find your MSL if you go into logcat and "clear log" before doing these steps.
**Refer to the attached picture if you get lost**
So step 1 is to go to your dialer and enter ##DATA# or ##3282# which will bring up the EPST menu
Once the menu pops up just select "View Mode"
At this point you will see a screen with 3 selections.
From here either press and hold the Home Key and select aLogcat if you ran it before, go to your tray and run Logcat.
After opening Logcat it will update, once it finishes press "Menu" and "Pause" the log.
Then scroll until you see a group of entries labeled "I/EpstBroadcastReciever" which should be green
Locate the line that has "MSL Code=" at the end of it
Edit: Or press Menu and Filter "MSL" (thanks wjason)
And there you have it, your 6-digit MSL code without ever calling sprint or using a computer.

DonB, Thanks for this. Worked perfect as everytime my GPS was called on my phone would reboot and simple GPS fix took care of it. I had been looking for this for a week or 2 so thank you for posting this.

NP, glad it worked for you

Nexus 5 Error Updating

Received the phone. Insert SIM, unpackaged and booted up. Setup wifi and was told I *need* to install an update (you can't get around this).
Attempted to download the update. The progress bar filled up as you might expect, but when it got to the end it waited for a while, then restarted. This repeated 3 times.
Rebooted the phone manually and tried again. This time the system update download completed and the phone reboot automatically. Got part way through the update and encountered an error.

It looks like D820 and D821 use the same firmware? Needs verification, but you'll probably need to flash that.

Yeah, I already have the firmware downloaded on my PC... just not sure if that will impede my ability to make a warranty claim when it doesn't work
Yeah flashing worked... well Wallet crashed when it first boot. But it no longer needed to download and update and hence I setup the phone.

Strangely enough, after relocking and rebooting I'm yet to see an exception. I'll stick with it for a little while longer and see how I go.
Damn, looks like I'm going to have to RMA.
Chrome crashes (in native code) and bluetooth tethering stops working after a while (whilst the phone itself can still access the Internet).
EDIT: Ugh, and just made my first phone call. I hope it's just this defective phone, but the call quality was disgusting.

xt1254 hangs on bootloader/recovery

Hi all, ive been running custom roms on my phone ever since sunshine was released for it.
In the past 6 months or so, my phone has gotten horrendously bad at booting.
When i turn it on, it will hang on the bootloader warning screen for 2 to 3 minutes before showing any sign that anything is happening.
Im really at a loss, ive done everything but a complete format and sideload.
Not really sure what other information would be required.
what should i do?
also every few days i have to go into apns and click one of the verizon ones again before my data will work, but that might just be a rom issue.

At first I thought you were saying your phone was booting to the bootloader screen or even booting to TWRP recovery, which would be very strange. That's happened to people before... which means the phone is really messed up.
But reading your actual write-up, (if you wrote it correctly) instead your phone is just NORMALLY booting. It's just taking a long time. Your phone is just staying stuck on the boot image, which is not the bootloader or recovery screens. It's just an image you see before the boot animation starts until finally you see your normal Android system GUI. In your case, it's the "bootloader warning screen" which is something you should replace.
THIS is the bootloader screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But instead you're seeing this, right?
It's the boot image Motorola has replaced to warn you your bootloader is unlocked. Yeah, I did it on purpose! As did you. No need to see it every day. You can flash a replacement boot image very easily in TWRP or ADB. <There's several to choose from.
WHY is it hanging on the boot image? You are right that something is wrong, but I don't think your phone is very messed up -- at least it's not booting to the bootloader screen!
You've tried clearing all the caches in TWRP? You've tried dirty flashing your ROM again? Sometimes something can get slightly corrupted and re-flashing your ROM over itself can fix the issue. Clearing all the caches in TWRP and letting all the apps re-optimize can also fix some issues.
Do you have any add-on xposed modules? I would temporarily disable all exposed modules, reboot a couple of times, see what happens? You can always re-enable them later. Xposed modules can conflict with your normal ROM functions and should be used very sparingly. Some modules like Gravity Box are really another ROM and settings in Gravity Box can conflict with settings in your ROM. But to a lesser degree so can almost any other xposed module.
Have you restored your TWRP backup which you made before all this happened? You do have a good TWRP backup, right?
Last, yeah, if none of that works, factory reset and reinstall the ROM.
Are you encrypted? I've noticed that once you encrypt the storage that the phone takes forever to boot. I haven't found any way around that and someone with more knowledge of the hardware than me mentioned that it's because the drivers for HW decrypt acceleration are missing.
I will add to this as I am having the same issue and have moved to another 32GB Turbo for the time being but now I'm having Radio issues with this one.
My 64 was encrypted, running CF's 1.0.8, xposed. Doing restoring the factory image did the same thing. Only thing is now that i think about it TWRP didn't ask for my pin for encryption though like it was before so it may not be encryped. I'm going to be doing some factory images this weekend and see if i can find out the issue and if I find anything I'll post back. Only thing that sucks is I only have one good screen between the two phones lol
Ugh, sorry for the lack of response. Ive been really busy.
To answer all questions. Ive done everything but wipe some crap with fastboot commands and performing a clean flash of the rom. Im on resurrection remix right now, i think i want to change though because my battery life is kinda ****.
Also no xposed, etc, just the basic rom.
Sorry for taking so long and thanks for the responses!

Le S3 x626 bricked issue

Hi, I have checked this thread as I experienced the same issue(If confused what I'm talking about read
www chinaphonearena com/forum/Thread-Question-LeEco-Le-S3-X626-Helio-X20-Bricked ), I was able to get past the phone buttons not working and was able to flash a new firmware. But this led to another issue considering the system.
For one, I am unable to unlock my bootloader, I just receive the error : FAILED (remote: unlock operation is not allowed), and there is no way fro me to get in my android as it always stays on the LeEco POWERED BY ANDROID screen, which then shuts down and reboots.#
As well as this, the display is now very unusual: the LeEco logo is coloured green white and yellow, the display is flipped horizontally and mirrored vertically.

You need to power the phone and wait till boots. Enter the flipped UI enable developer mode and unlock the bootloader.
All the control are flipped so be patient.
After that enter fastboot and flash the original rom

Thanks for the reply, I fixed the issue the same day, I just fixed it using the second part to tickernel's red light unbrick tutorial, I completely missed it out. The rom I was using where everything was inverted was just to unbrick the phone, then after I'd have to flash the rom provided by tickernel to fix. It worked again and an advantage was that there was no more ORANGE state, I didn't have to patch to hide the message nor wait the 5 seconds, so now I can flash custom roms on my phone without the message. The method you provided wasn't the fix, before opening this thread I double checked and saw your method, but thanks anyway .
it was necessary to use a mirror. for example, in the bathroom

after bad ressurects i return my device le x626. to le x620 with eui 5.8.018S (stab.) it works normal. But was some bugs with 4g on (turn phone off) and google programs don's start.
But i fixed it all, now it works great, but i think is it bad?
take the stock firmware 28. and install. why use the old version? maybe get my firmware.
to use google apps. you need to download google installer, then after installation, in the settings give permissions to all Google apps.
and correctly to do so: to install firmware, then to start system and to configure it. and then only install the google gapps.
Update on unbrick
With my phone unbricked, it now works perfectly. But now the battery drains very fast. It drops by around 25% in less than half an hour with normal use such as watching videos on youtube in "360p" with all my apps closed, but still the battery drains. I have tried flashing different roms and clearing all partitions in twrp and flashing the CUOCO AND WOLFRED x.28s custom stock roms, but still the issue persists. This is very unusual as before my phone bricked, the battery would hold up for at least an hour before falling by 10 to 20 %. Does anyone have any speculations on why or any fixes? Please help.
UPDATE: I fixed by flashing the international version system.img only if you need it send me a message and I'll put up a link.

Phone had issues with crashing, and now won't even launch

Maybe you guys could help me. I'm at a loss and customer support told me to turn it off and turn it back on. I bought the Razer Phone 2 on December 27th. Around mid to late February, I had an instance where the phone crashed and was black screen, but the vibration reacted to me touching/pressing the power button. Hard resetting the phone allowed it to go back to normal. It got more frequently and more annoying, and it got to the point where multiple resets wouldn't fix it. Several times I got a screen telling me it couldn't load the android system(First image). After several instances of that screen, I tried to wipe the phone and reset it to factory, and now it's just an expensive paperweight. I can press Power+Volume Up to get to android recovery, but choosing to start up does nothing, reboot to bootloader does nothing, and pretty much everything else is useless.
Like I said, I contacted customer support, and their response was to tell me to wipe the phone and try again, which does nothing. After I said it didn't work, they said that was the best they could come up with, and that I would have to send it in and pay the costs as it was out of warranty, even though it's not even 6 months old. I tried finding a fix for it on google, and saw someone posted a similar issue, but it was fixed by power+vol up and that was the end of it, so not as far as my issue is currently. I've come to you guys as a last ditch effort to see if I could fix it before having to spend even more money to this company. This is the second phone I've got from them and both have had issues. Hoping someone saves me...

Have you unlocked your bootloader? Rooted? I'm having similar issues and I'm completely stock, I have not unlocked my bootloader or rooted or anything. If my screen goes off it won't come back but I get vibration when I press power button and I have to reset with volume up and power.

My phone does this every once in a while. I believe it's something wrong with the second pie update and without having an unlocked bootloader this isn't something that a lot can be done about.
You have access to the recovery at least, and that's good if you can find someone willing to share the update payload zip then you might be able to apply the update again over ADB. Doing so might restore your phone to working-enough condition to fully flash a factory image just be sure there's nothing corrupt in the bootstack or system image. My suggestion would be to ask around and see if anyone is willing to revert to an older version of the firmware to grab the update payload(or has one archived) so that you can try this method. It might be your best shot.
If all of that doesn't pan out, then you might be SOL unless you can wipe it over ADB/Fastboot while in the recovery or bootloader. There's a slight possibility that the phone isn't properly resetting when you do it through the recovery menu but is just deleting personal data without defaulting the configs or checking for errors. There might even be a chance that you can configure it to boot from slot B through fastboot. I'm not sure how to do that one but as far as I'm aware, when you apply updates it moves the old data to slot B so it can put fresh images in slot A(someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Before your issue gets to the point where your phone doesn't boot correctly like OPs, you should follow the tutorial on Razer's Dev site to unlock your bootloader so if something does happen or the issue persists, you can flash the stock firmware onto your phone with minimal issue. If you end up unlocking, DO NOT relock the bootloader. Nothing bad actually happens if you do unless you've got a custom ROM or kernel installed, then you will probably brick. I wouldn't know since I'm not willing to try relocking with non-factory images...
It's just that having the bootloader unlocked is required to flash the images from Razer so if you're having the black screen bug then you really should unlock for safety. Naturally, if you're still in warranty then try to get it fixed through Razer. This is a more "If all else fails" or " Just in case" kind of a solution for people who like fixing their own stuff or are out of warranty. Also, unlocking your bootloader gives you the ability to install Arter97's kernel and TWRP which can improve your phones stability and reduce the need to restart from the screen off bug. TWRP backups are a huge bonus, too.
Razer is not suitable for mobile phones, this phone is all bug?

ASUS ROG Phone 2 E:Failed...

Hello, I was watching YT a few weeks ago and the phone (ASUS ROG Phone 2 tencent edition version 8/128) decided to reboot by itself. It done it before but this time it wouldn't get past the starting logo and restart again! It would keep looping until the battery ran empty... SO I booted in recovery mode, tried to factory reset and get E:Failed to save locale.
A friend has been trying to help me fix the phone and this was the result (screenshot). He can't figure it out.

Hey, haven't backed up before at any point and don't have warrenty. Is there a way to get the phone working again?
Can't find old screenshot; if I remember correctly the first time I tried to factory reset after looping it said "driver E missing" something along that line. Up to that point never tried to change anything on the device by using a usb or PC.

Do it this way:
1. Make a Wipe
2. Download this file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682901175
3. Run fastboot bootloader and connect to computer (side port)
4. Unpack and run "flashall_AFT.cmd" wait for the phone to reset and start up.
Should help.
