I see this issue around but no one seems to quite solve it. I want to.
I have my old G1 and a MyTouch 3g and would like both phones to work so I have back ups when I get my G2. Currently, I have fixed most problems with my G1 except for one: The fact that it reboots randomly, seemingly nothing on my end to cause it.
I am running CM 5.08 and Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.1
Things I've tried:
-Switching ROMs (It appears to have nothing to do with the ROM)
-Wipe, Cache Clear, Dalvik Cache cleared, Battery Stats, etc.
-Replacing the battery
-Updating SPL, Radio, changing recoveries, etc.
Is there anything else you guys would suggest trying to see if I can solve this problem?
P.S. I apologize if there is a thread on this already, or this is the wrong section for this question.
i used to have this problem on my g1...it would rebbot on stand by when disconnected from the power supply it narrowed the problem to memory card
try this
1)use recovery to format it in the file system recomended by you rom dev. ext2 3 4
2)buy a new Memory card and do step 1
it worked for me
good luck
Hello all,
please forgive me first of all because I've had very little sleep due to this issue. And its a long thread, but more detail is better generally I believe.
First, some background, and unfortunately, it starts with my wifes phone.
My wife has a Galaxy S GT-i9000 on Orange in the UK. She has had it, probably about a year maybe at most. She has a few apps that she has downloaded but nothing major and on first looks when I got it nothing I expect would cause this issue, just facebook etc.
My wife came home and said, my phone keeps coming up with a message saying force close. Ahh, I thought, some apps gone nuts, but alas, it appeared to be many apps including Maps, Google Upload (I assume this is a system process), Facebook Katana and many more, probably about 20 Force Close messages pop up one after the other and it lags whilst trying.
Odd, I thought, I also noticed the icon for one of the apps on her homescreen had changed to the default White and Green one with the android on it.
I suspected something had gone wrong (obviously), I asked if she had rebooted it and she said she had. So, I rebooted it again, just incase. Same problem.
I then thought it might need an update, it was running official Kies 2.3.3 (or was it 2.3.4, I forget) so I plugged it into my netbook and ran Kies, had to update that as it didn't have the latest application update. I then started the firmware update, after backing up the phone using Kies.
Halfway through the update, Kies popped up a message saying something went wrong and that I had to unplug the phone, take out the battery and reboot. Odd, I thought as the phone was telling me to not doing anything. I waited a minute, nothing further happened, so I did this. Then I got the Black Screen of Death with the phone, the dots and the computer screen.
Crap!!! I thought, I managed to get into Download mode, and reflash it using what I believe was an official ROM using Odin. I then rebooted, and found that it STILL had the data on it and it STILL was doing the force close. At least I had it back to "working" though so I was mildly happy.
I then did a factory reset using the menu system, erased the USB storage (there is no external SD card in her phone) and rebooted, still force closing but prompting me to setup again. Weird. I went through the setup slowly, as every second or so a force close would popup, then when I completed the setup (which still had the wifi settings, account settings etc in it) the System Setup crashed with Force Close. I then rebooted and got to the Home Screen, but still crashing.
I rebooted and used the recovery screen to clear the cache and factory reset, despite the warnings I will lose everything, nothing was wiped.
I tried to update using Kies again but it tells me that the firmware/device is not supported. I am now trying to see if I can use Odin to install a Kies supported firmware. So that I can then try an update using that again.
Anyone got any suggestions, at present, my thoughts are, I was going well within the realms of warranty up until I reflashed it using Odin to try and get back in as I'd only used Kies to update and the issue "just started happening" without my missus doing anything.
There are no signs of damage on the phone and she tells me it was just sat on her desk all day.
So, my question is, what now? I'm of the opinion based on the above that if I can't reflash a warranty supported Kies update, then maybe a custom ROM will be worth a shot to see if its a hardware failure or if its software. I just have never had an issue like this with my HTC Desire and I've ran many custom ROMs and standard ROMs on it.
I do have the .tmp file of the update Kies downloaded, and I also have a Binary folder which has some file inside a couple more folders but its not a .tar or a .zip because when I try renaming it (after a copy) it won't open.
So, suggestions on a postcard, thanks if you got this far through this nightmare. All help massively appreciated.
Edit: it appears to be the same issue as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822238
I'll try some of their suggestions. Today I also did the *2767*3855# today which I found after a bit more searching. Same problem after a reboot. Force close and data still there.
I've tried and tried again to do various solutions for this, I've even ran a logcat using adb to see if I can see the problem. I suspect its a Dalvik Cache issue in that its unable to write to it for some weird reason.
I've downgraded it to Froyo following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100906
It now detects in Kies and offers me a firmware upgrade. I suspect it will die again though if I try due to this Dalvik problem.
Wiping cache does not wipe the cache. Everything still appears to be there on reboot as mentioned above.
Here is a copy of the LogCat with Java errors all over it: http://leenukes.co.uk/downloads/logcat1.txt (its quite long)
I guess nobody knows. Today I will speak to Orange to try and get it fixed or replaced.

We've been told it is beyond repair. We will see what they say when we go back into the shop. Its still in warranty so I don't see why they won't replace it.

I have a friend with a Galaxy S from Orange Romania and suddenly the phone kept showing Force Close on every App. He had 2.2.1 if I remember right. He whent with the phone to an Orange Shop and they only do a factory reset but data was not wiped.
So what i have done for him:
- start the phone in Download Mode
- start Odin with repartition check and XXJVT (2.3.5) firmware with 3 files (code, phone and CSC) + pit file .512
- after reflashing the phone does have all tha data, so i resarted in Recovery Mode and done a Factory Reset and a Cache Wipe
- i flashed Speedmonde Kernel k16.10 and do again from Recovery Mode a Factory Reset, Cache Wipe and Davlick Wipe.
On reboot the phone was CLEAN. No force closes for a week now.
Sorry for my English hope it helps!

Sound advice there mate, other thing I would have done is in recovery mode before the ODIN flash I would have format sdcard, making sure you have removed BOTH the external sd and the sim card, as it can wipe them as well.Then flash through ODIN as per instructions above.
Using JVT I would flash either speedmod or semaphore 2.1.1 which I personally use.
Happy flashing!!
turns out it was water damage and some parts corroded.
Its going to be claimed for on insurance.

Hello all,
the phone came back from repair yesterday, yay!
the phone now however, doesn't appear to lock onto a mobile signal for very long. Boooo!!!
After sending off for repair using insurance, we got the phone back yesterday but it now appears to be broke in another way. It won't lock on to a mobile signal, wireless is fine but data network and sometimes just mobile signal is patchy and keeps dropping.
I've just reset it to factory defaults, same problem. What I did notice, which is odd is that since it came back from repair, its now unlocked and I can put another networks SIM card in it, same issue there too so I know its the phone now.
I'm going to scour the forums to see if anyone else had/has issues like this, it is running the latest firmware now and a full wipe really did fully wipe it this time, as opposed to last time with its issues due to water damage. One step forward, two steps back?
Its going back to the insurance company. Especially as Orange were suggesting that we pay £70 for a new handset.
Absolute fool I had on support today, yesterday I at least had someone sensible.

Sounds like a modem issue, where the techs at Orange put in the wrong modem for your firmware. I did the same thing when I upgraded from Froyo to Gingerbread.
Alternately, it could be a broken external antenna connection as a result of the corrosion from the water damage. Google "no signal fix" and look for a site that ends in .uk
Just a thought for others who come across this problem.

Recently tried the nightlies for Cyan 10.2, wasn't satisfied, flashed older Cyan 10.1 and proper GAaps. Clean wiped and formatted. Phone has gone bunk. Restarting causes the phone to go into AP Fastboot instead of normal reboot or recovery. However, starting in fastboot and choosing to boot normally works.
Real is issue is, upon restarting, was told to insert SIM card, despite it already being in the phone. Checked the card, seems to be fine, however, there's no network connection, and can't turn on wifi. Best bet I've been linked to is the fact that the APN settings are gone. Tried putting in the same APN settings from a default atrix hd phone, but saving the settings takes me back to the empty list of APN's.
Looking for possible solutions, either to why none of the APN's wont save, why they're gone in the first place, and why booting seems to be messed up now.
What did you format? Maybe the modem by mistake?

Seems to have been the issue.
Decided after finding out I may be able to trade in my phone for a newer model to just unroot and restore to default. Ran stock ROM with RSD, everything seems fine.
Only other question is, will relocking the boot loader with fastboot keep the phone running presentably so I can trade it in? Stock ROM and recovery are running fine, only thing left if getting rid of the warranty void message.
Can't relock bootloader.

you could flash a new image over the bootloader unlocked image. it most likely would not take much image wise to fool them.
Hello all,
Every ROM I have tried to flash has come with some type of problem or another.
I have a SIM locked T-Mobile HTC One with a PTel SIM inside. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, and installed TWRP. Then, I downloaded several ROMs and tried to flash them (after doing wipe data and cache). Here are the specific problems I have run into with each ROM.
OneDroid: The screen keeps popping up "Unfortunately, Android Keyboard has stopped". After second boot, in addition to the other error message, the screen keeps popping up systemUI has stopped. The whole thing is just unusable.
Android Revolution HD: I am unable to obtain any phone signal.
ViperOne: Same issue, no signal.
InsertCoin: I can't get a proper HSPA+ connection due to incorrect APN settings. I have followed the directions on PTel's own website, but was unable to obtain data. It's a shame because I like this ROM the most of all.
MaximusHD: The only ROM to have worked properly.
I am sure I have done something wrong somewhere. I guess I'll just live with MaximusHD.
MaximusHD is completely stock with very minor changes. For other ROMs you have to select (or flash additional stuff) that you have T-Mobile device I think. But it is better to have their threads searched for "T-mobile".
I was trying to post my post, but it was flagged and blocked by the system, probably because I kept previewing it, so until I can post it, I'm going to be really brief about the latest news on my problem.
I have a T-Mo US HTC One that's now S-Offed, running CWM recovery, and running 4.19.531.10 firmware+radio. It's running Android Revolution HD 91.1, and the first error from before I did any of this was "Failed to powerup external modem!" The phone would randomly reboot and such. Now, it's running normally except for the fact that I can't get the phone part of it to work. I also don't think I can warranty it because I already opened it up because I managed to break the back and also changed the frame color, screen, and camera. In the settings, Baseband read as "Unknown." I'm hoping you guys here can help me fix my problem as I hope it's software related, but think it might be hardware related.
Is there any hope for this? At one point, running the ElementalX kernel and the Android Revolution HD ROM with it still S-On and running latest Radio from 7.18.531.2, if I wiped dalvik cache and kept power saver off, the radio would start and it would work fine until I turned power saver on (even if the turn mobile network off part was off).

seems like you went to a lot of trouble for a $100 phone
you can find a decent replacement on eBay cheap
Meanwhile you can update your firmware to the latest it will match the rom that way
I'm a little reluctant to change anything now. I just finished flashing the ElementalX kernel and did a dalvik-cache wipe and the phone service is working again. Assuming it's just like before, power saver should cause it to fail again.
I'm busy now, so I'll do a nandroid backup when I can later and try the RUU for the firmware again. The RUU kept failing on me before and htc_fastboot.exe would crash. I don't know how to decrypt the rom zip to manually flash it.
Edit: Any idea why using the ElementalX Kernel and wiping Dalvik-Cache makes the radio work again? It seems relatively stable right now (Powersaver off, it's not very stable with it on).
