What sort of set up are you running there?
Stock, non-rooted N1? Or did you upgrade to FroYo over an existing install using Paul's zip? Any applications installed? When is the phone freezing?
Would love to help, but I think we're going to need a little bit more information from you first.

Previously rooted N1 back to stock rom prior installing froyo from Paul's direct install file for rooted N1 because I lacked stock recovery image.
Basic apps installed like ebuddy news apps etc. didn't install anything different from old install.
Like I mentioned phone stalls in while in sleep mode. Need to pull battery. Cannot soft or hard reset phone.
Ive been reading a lot on xda and didnt notice this occurring in pther phones thats y i decided to open a new thread.
Any help is appreciated thanks!

Did you wipe? If not, usually a wipe helps. I wiped and have not had a single issue of FC...Freezing or anything. I went from Enom to Wipe to Paul's Zip with Radio.

I have the same problem. Until now the screen stayed black after the other party ended the call. Had to pull battery 3 times.
Problem exists even after reflashing, wiping and clearing storage.
Im om pre-rooted frf50 from paul. Gonna try with an older radio..

does it work?

Im having similar issues with my 2.2 installation. I have it installed on my wife's non-rooted N1.
Not just that but the market is not even usable. Even if I clear cache.
Again, her phone is not rooted, I wipped everything from her phone then applied Froyo and its been a nightmare. Her phone isn't even stable enough to use and I cant seem to figure it out.
I need to find a way back to 2.1 without having to root her phone. She is adamant about me not doing that to her phone even though Ive rooted all the phones I've ever used with no issues.

I was having the same problem on my N1. Started suddenly two days after the manual upgrade to 2.2. The phone would either freeze to a black screen or sometimes the live wallpaper would continue but the phone was unresponsive even to the power button. Needed to pull the battery to restart.
It stopped after I:
* Turned off live wallpaper
* Uninstalled LauncherPro Beta
* Removed the Pure Calender Widget (was broken after 2.2 update anyway)
* Charged the battery (was down to below 10% when it started happening repeatedly).
Anyone one of them (or none of them) could have been the culprit. My guess it was one of the last two (PureCalender or battery) but haven't had time to troubleshoot it. Try some of these and see if it helps.

Ive tried all that on her phone. I just wiped it again completely and re flashed just in case that was the issue. Phone still had all the issues described in this thread.
I wiped the sd card, wiped all previous system files via the stock recovery and re flashed the update zip. You cant get anymore clean than that and its still so unstable the phone its unusable. I have to either hope soft booting works or pull the battery as a last ditch.
Is there any way I could downgrade her phone to 2.1 without rooting? I tried the shipping rom in the sticky above but it seems that isn't totally legit for stock use because the phone doesn't like how its signed.
I guess I could call google/htc tomorrow but who knows where that'll get me. The only bonus iud that her phone is not rooted so she didn't really have her warranty voided.

I was worried if I was the only one with this problem. Phone improved today (3rd day of using) but I didn't do anything to it. Only hanged once when someone called. Hanged on calling in screen and had to pull battery.
Only once compared to 7 times yesterday!

Yes until now it does. Sometimes the power button is reacting a little late but i havent had to pull the battery yet with the older radio.

You might want to download it again and flash that to see if you had a corrupt download. First copy all data from the sd and partition it. Just make everything fat. I havent used the stock recovery in ages so I cant recall if you can partition from there, if you cant, do it on the pc. Wipe everything that the stock recovery can wipe. Then try to flash your new download of the update. You can do this fairly quickly and its worth a try before you go through the process of reverting to 2.1.

I'll give this a shot when I get home from work. I'll report back on if it works or not. Thanks for the idea.

Interesting, not that I'm complaining, but after a few days of using 2.2 it seems more stable now....? haven't had any freezes today...yet.
Power button response also getting better.

[Q] Uanble to Nandroid Backup

Hey guys...noob question here. Yesterday I rooted my wife's Hero and it was successful as far as I could tell. I proceeded to do a Nandroid backup via ROM Manager, but at the end of the backup it said something to the effect of "no sd-ext" or something like that.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

You may need to format your SD card....be sure to back up your files on your computer, so you can put them back on there after....

Find out how to put ur phone into recovery via Google then nandroid backup from there. ROM manager is kinda funny acting so try that.

Well, not sure if it matters, but her card already has stuff on it so I'm assuming it's working correctly. Am I supposed to do something to the card prior to backing it up? Do I need to be in some sort of "mode" or check some box in an application? Sorry...still new to this phone.

Thanks for the reply! I've already tried that method as well and I get the same result.

am not sure. but i'd the same msg and when i googled some one answered that "because you do not have any app on the sd card to back up". well makes sense as before root all the apps were installed on the phone memory and not the sd card. Also after back up and restart when i go to the rom manager -> under back up and restore i am able to see the back that i created even with no sd-ext msg...
am not 100% sure but i think it did back up.. still enlighten me..

[Q] Same Problem, 2 different Roms

I've been having issues with my Captivate any time I flash a rom onto it. Last week I flashed Cognition 3.02 onto it. Everything worked fine for about 18 hours. Then, all of a sudden the phone would vibrate twice and reboot and go straight to the cognition boot screen, and never get past that. I would then take out the battery for a few minutes. Place it back in and turn the phone on. After being on for a bout 20-25 seconds it would do it again. So, I booted into recovery and wiped my user data. That seemed to stop it from doing that for the time being. So I took that opportunity to back some things up and you Odin and Master Clear to go back to 2.1.
After about a day I flashed Firefly 1.5 onto the phone. It has been working for about a week. This morning when I woke up (about 10minutes ago) I got out of bed, and unplugged my phone from the charger, read two text messages, and it began all over again.
Is this a common problem?

When you restore your apps, you're not restoring system data too are you?

When I flashed the ROM's I didn't restore anything in terms of apps. I just moved a folder of pictures back into the folder in the Camera. That's it.

Oh wow. I never was on a ROM except for 1 for that long to see if this issue comes up.
The one I was on for than was di11igaf's 2.5 version. Try using dilligaf's ROM n see if the issue comes again.
This time, pls format ur internal SD too before u flash.

Are u installing any themes on the ROMs? Some themes are incompatible and cause these FCs.

Nope, no themes or anything like that. Whenever I've flashed, I've only installed a few apps, them being E strongs task manager, eBuddy and GoSMS. The first time I only installed those because I wanted to make sure everything was good w/Cognition, but it gave me that problem, so I didn't instally any this time with firefly to see if it was the apps or something. But I guess it wasn't. I'm using Odin as I type this to flash back to 2.1. I did a master clear before of my internal memory, I'll do it again. Not sure if I should flash another rom or not.

I am not sure of master clear, personally. I prefer format of my internal SD so its clean. Sometimes I mount it on computer, and use windows quick format.
Flash the ROM and kernel in my sign, n see how it goes with u. Once u r comfortable, let me know, and I shall post my voltage settings for optimal battery life too.

Correct me if iam wrong but I think both roms are based on rogers froyo build. Maybe try something jpy based, or andromeda which is armani base

Master clear is done through ODIN one click or via the dialer code....CWM doesnt have a 'master clear', it has formatting options....but our external sd card is not handled the same way most other android devices is handled. different mount points i believe.

Well I went to use Odin and it froze up on me so I had to unplug my Captivate and I got that dreaded phone.../ ! \...pc symbol. Took me all day of trying different key combos, finally I saw this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128
To making a jig from the 100k ohm resistors. It took me about 45 minutes to get because those resistors are so annoying but I got it and flashed it back. Then formatted my internal sd using Master Clear. Both of those roms are based on the Froyo 2.2, so I think maybe i should try a rom based on JPY or armani. However, now no matter what I do I can't get into recovery to root my phone...I've tried the 3 button trick as well as using adb...no luck...

To be honest I am not sure but obviously if you are going to use roms you need there button combo

This made sense in my mind soI flashed Andromeda on two days ago, and same problem. I've pieced together that each time it begins to occur. My phone has been on and just sitting, charging. When I unplug the charger cord, a minute or two later it will start doing that and won't stop. This time each vibration was short it did it once...pause...then 3 times. Then restarted. Rebooted, stayed on for a good 5 minutes, then did it again. Each time the interval has gotten shorter and shorter. I tried plugging the phone back into the charger but no luck. I really don't have any idea what could possibly be wrong? I guess my captivate's not meant to be customized at all

+1 something in your setup its not playing nice. Try un installing apps you have downloaded one by one till behavior stops, or flash fresh and install apps over time to monitor which its the problem child

One thing I did try randomly last night was Flight Mode. When I boot my phone and its in Flight Mode, it doesn't cycle the rebooting or anything everything works. As soon as I take it out of flight mode, within minute or two it starts the reboot cycle. I tried deactivating data network mode, no luck as well. I will try uninstalling all of my apps, or wiping all of my user data and reinstalling slowly to see if that works.

Are you restoring anything that had to do with your phone

Widgets

Been having problems with my widgets since flashing bk, though to be honest I don't think BK has caused it. Whenever I reboot all of my widgets show problem loading widget. Some other threads have said to check that your widgets aren't on your sd card, which mine aren't. They work alright if I delete them and add them again, but that gets to be a pest, especially when managing 4g.
I'm running Gv 1.3, bk 1.0, and I've got ice cream kangwich, all of which I adore and am really grateful for.
Anyone else encountered this/have suggestions? Tried reinstalling individual widgets, etc.
Thanks everyone

I was having this issue to, but I never really figured out what was causing it. I suspected it had something to do with my clearing the dalvik cache or some other weird crap I was doing. This sounds like a paradox, but after installing BK, I felt like my phone ran faster, but was more prone to getting "bogged down" after awhile, and startup times were painfully slow.
However, I just finished finished removing the supercharger included with GV1.3, and installed the latest version along with a few of the extra tweaks available, and all of these issues have gone away.
Sorry, I realize this isn't that helpful. But you could try doing the same thing...It's definitely worth it; I'm seeing a pretty significant increase in snappiness.

Is the "snappiness" in a form of a 'circle' or 'Z' formation?

Well I've tried everything short of reflashing . Any ideas? I have reinstalled go launcher, reinstalled my widgets etc. Resupercharged. I Tried adw too. Don't want to reflash but I am running out of options. If I do reflash, would want to format everything. Tips for formatting internal? Know I shouldn't do it from settings. Where should I? Just want to start from scratch. Sorry about strange tone, practicing on swift key. So much trouble from some broken widgets. Thanks everyone

Why wouldn't you want to format from within Settings? I've done that before with no issues. Perhaps you're confusing this with not wanting to Factory Reset from within Settings? Because that you definitely don't want to do.
Or perhaps I'm crazy. But I've definitely formatted the internal (and external) sdcards from within the phone Settings. In fact, on one occasion I corrupted my external sdcard, and the only means of formatting that would make the phone recognize it again was formatting it within settings.

!!!! TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!
!! I post this because it worked for me, 2 of my friends and I did this myself personally with my own pc/software !!
### IMPORTANT NOTE ###
Doing this can BRICK your phone if you don't know or not familar with what I'm doing.
If you're new to this, don'tbother doing it yourself as BRICKING your phone risk would be much higher
------------------------------------------------
I have issues last month when I was using gingervolt 1.3
Issues are
random reboots
reboot when tapping return soft key
no bluetooth at all can't connect to anything
screen freeze
some broken apps/widgets that have to uninstall/reinstall a few times
So I got tired of it and backup all my apps/app data/contacts with " mybackup root " app and put it in my pc
------------------------------------------------
!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!
Before trying to replicate what I did make sure you are able to flash the v7 tot file with LGNST and the phone can reboot otherwise it'll be hard to recover you're phone.
I did this because LGNST works flawless for me everytime so if you had problems w LGNST
!! DON'T TRY THIS !!
------------------------------------------------
After I copied my backup files/data into my pc, i checked the debug mode to make sure it's ON before I booted into CWM
go to "" mount and storage ""
from there I wiped all my data to start clean which include
Wipe cache
Wipe data
Wipe system
Wipe sdcard
------------------------------------------------
!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!
as you wiped everything noted above your revolution
WILL NOT BOOT UP
ALL FILES IN SYSTEM/SD-CARD WILL BE WIPED CLEAN
YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR BACKUP FILES INCLUDING CWM RECOVERY FILES
that why it's very important to transfer all your backup files to your pc/mac and you can flash v7 tot with LGNST without any problems
------------------------------------------
After I completely clean my revo I plug it into my pc from CWM and run LGNST
LGNST recognized my phone as I expected then I started to flash the v7 tot file
Waited for about 15 minutes for it to complete the whole process
when LGNST reach about 80% it'll reboot you're phone
Make sure LGNST display COMPLETE before you unplug
Now I got a complete bone stock phone with v7 gingerbread I started the root--revotool kit--GV 1.3 again
I use the esteem root method to root my revo as it works for me flawlessly
I also use the original revotool kit since I don't have any issues with it
Then I transfer my backup files back to my phone and reinstalled it with myBackupRoot app
Doing all this work and taking the risk did payoff
It fixed all issues I had mention earlier and been running flawless ever since even after I flashed BK kernel
No reboot, no screen freeze, bluetooth connects with anything I have
As I mention above, not only did it work for me it also work for 2 other friends
Good luck

Random factory reset

My Nook HD just randomly reset. Yep, I turned it off to reset it and, when it came back on, it reset back to factory settings. I then had to go through the set up process all over and it seems I have lost my root. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I have a TiBu backup, but, alas, no recent nandroid. Guess I'm going back to square one.

It must have been a full reset since an update would not require a re-register. Were your media files lost too?
Probably one of your installed apps, like adaway, wrote something to /system. If you see it starting to recycle on boot, quickly turn it completely off before it goes through 8 times so you can get your card CWM card in.

All of my media is on my external card, so that was safe. It was an annoying setback, but I'm good now thanks to Titanium Backup and your great thread.
Can I do a nandroid If I just have root installed? I know I did one before--does it require the CWM boot card?

No, you need the CWM boot card. That is what makes the backup.

If you have root, then you have the CWM card. Unless you formatted right after flashing the root zip.
