Constant rebooting

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

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.

[Q] Some hero rooting/rom questions.

Ok so this is my first post here, and I'm sort of a noob so I'm sorry if these questions are too noobish...
First, I rooted my HTC hero last night, but I tried to install the rom (fresh 2.3.3) before wiping so I got stuck in this perpetual loop of the startup screen, had to wait until the phone ran out of battery and then did a wipe of data/ext and rebooted. Everything worked fine from there, and it seems to be working normally, BUT I'm wondering if this means everything installed correctly, or if I should just go through the process again.
Second, when I connect my phone to the computer I notice that I have the .zip of the image still in my phone's root. Can I delete this or is it necessary for the phone's function?
Third, are there any other roms people would suggest? I like vanilla android (not a sense fan), and I heard of a rom called Darchdroid. I was wondering how this stacks up to fresh 2.3.3...I'm looking for the smoothest experience possible (not a fan of the minor lag that happens in fresh)
And fourth, if I decide I want to get rid of Fresh and try a new rom, what is the procedure for wiping my phone clean and installing the new rom? (sorta noobish I know...)

a bit noobish myself, but I think I can answer a bit regardless, anyone feel free to correct me...
1: if everything is working, great! if you dont feel comfortable, and dont mind resetting everything up, go ahead, do it again, cant hurt. whenever reflashing/new flashing, Dont Forget to make a nandroid and wipe! (and you can rename the backups in USB disk mode so you know which ones are what, otherwise go by the embedded date in the autogen'd title. in the nandroid folder on your SD card btw)
2: as far as I know, leave it?
3: HUGE fan of Darchs work, cant go wrong... keep in mind it does not have VisVoicemail in it, fix flash needed.
4: reboot into recovery, make a nadroid backup, WIPE!, flash the new one according to cookers intructions! done! (if ya dont like it, buggy, nandroid restore back to your last good one you did like!)

well I reinstalled the rom and wiped first...and everything is running way smoother than last time. I don't know what in the world happened or what was going on but I'll take it as it is

cant connect to wifi at all

i cant connect to the wifi at all
was running cm6.1 was having problem
flashed back to FRG33. Everything works
except for wifi
when i turn on i get
application settings(inprocess com.androd.settings) is not responding then gives me force close

Seems something is corrupted...did you wipe when flashing?
Also try to update the Radio version...You could also try on FRG83 instead of 33 but that shouldn't make much of a difference, worth a try though

Wifi is generally managed by driver modules that are a part of the kernel. Perhaps try flashing a different kernel?

I quite often flash new kernels and I noticed that often a kernel may contain a new Wifi driver, if Wifi was turned on before flasing new kernel, afterwards Wifi may not be able to enable.
So when I flash a new kernel, I always turn off every communication features, 2g, gps off, bluetooth off, wifi off (although not all of them are necessary to be turned off ), then flash new kernel and wipe cache. It always works for me.
Since you're using CM so try this kernel:
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
before flashing it, turn off wifi, then goto recovery and flash the kernel and clear cache.
If you would like to save more battery you might like to try IntersectRaven or Wildmonk's AVS kernels, they are both compatible with CM.

thanks for all the help but i just go ahead and flashed back to FRG33
and when i tried to flashed to FRG 83 i failed to do it so
tried it in clockwork recovery
signature verifcation off.
then now i am getting an diff error and im assuming its becuase i have
higher version oh Hbooter?
i am going back to stock completely and try gingerbread when it comes out
so any help going FRG 33 TO FRG83?
should i just try and use the force update? and see if it works?
or do i have to do it manually if so any help would b appeciated.
for some reason cant flash to frg83. i named them as update.zip as well
is it suppose to be 80 mb file? dont i just need an OTA update file?
well in wiki the file that told to b used was 80mb file
if so where can i download proper OTA file
tried to find it but most of the links are corruped it or does not exist anymore
and the one on the wiki is to confusing. there was one update that goes ef something to FRG83 but i couldnt flash it cause i had higer hboot version. downgrading is too confusing for me.
right now i have 2.2
basebandversion 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
kernel version 2.6.32.9-27237-gbe746fb
[email protected]#1
build number frg 33
i want to get 2.2.1 (FRG83) idk which kernal works best for wifi..when i wiped out everything and reflashed it it worked for 3min then got disconnected and now im getting the same forceclose
i know i have lots of question sorry.

why sticking with official roms there are bunches of excellent roms in Development section. All roms should already contain a kernel which works for that rom, so just carefully follow instructions and flash a new rom, see if wifi works.
I'm currently running CM 6.1 RC1.

[Q] Wifi problem with Froyo

Posted this in the wrong place... so here I go again.
Alright as the Title says I got a problem with Froyo.
First of all, this is the first time i ever tried anything with a cellphone, although so far it went well (took me long though).
First I removed an old version of cyanogenmod from the old user.
Then I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1098899
Then I installed Froyo by Laszlo 5.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929678
Now to my ultimate surprise, I actually got this all done and it works perfectly, except for one thing. Wifi does not work. When I turn it on it starts scanning for networks, then gives the message "unable to scan for network" and Wifi automaticly gets turned off again. Before installing this I always found 2 networks from the point I'm sitting now.
I simply got no clue what it could be.
Some info. Following the guide for radio and boot I got the correct information in the bootloader as mentioned in step 3:
Dream PVT 32b SHIP S-on
HBOOT 1.33.0013d (drea10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO 2.22.28.25
OCT 21,2009,22:33:27
About Phone:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband version 62.50SJ.20.17U_2.22.28.25
Kernel version 2.6.34.8-froyobylaszlo [email protected] #1
Mod version FroyoByLaszlo-5.2
If you need more info, just ask.
And thanks in advance,
Greetings,
Noddahead
edit:
Little update here. On some forums I found that a file bcm_supp.conf in /data/wifi caused a problem like mine. When I plug in my phone in my pc I only see the sd card. Therefore I installed sdk/adb thing, connected with my phone (correctly). and I manually tried to remove the file via cmd. This resulted in the notification that the file did not exist.
Hence, back to nothing. Any way I can make my internal memory show up again?
All in all it seems like I got the same problem as many people had with Froyo. But it seemed solved for everyone after a certain patch. My Froyo version is obviously more recent. And no one seems to have this problem with this version of Froyo (in the Froyo by Laszlo thread page 97ish and forth)

Alright. I'm trying my very best but I'm really clueless right now.
After not getting this wifi to work I tried the COS-DS mod. Installing it and everything went fine, except for one thing: the settings menu would not open.
Not being able to do anything on that I went on to the next to the next rom: Cyanogenmod 7 Magpie. Once again, most things work, but some do not. I started out with an input.latin error, which I somehow fixed. I do not have a status bar, and I think I'm missing some other things too... for example, the android market does not appear. Wifi does work now though.
I have no clue what's going on... do I just need to start over from scratch? Trying Froyo again? I could really use some advise.

Have you tried wiping properly before flashing the new roms because I've never had a wi-fi issue unlees it was broken in the kernel which is rare these days.

Thank you for replying.
I am back to Froyo by Laszlo now, seems the best option. Before installing that I wiped cache, wiped data/factory reset, and I used Ohsaka Superwipe. But no Wifi.

Using another Kernel with Froyo by Laszlo did not help.

Well, last update here. Never got it to work, now having succes with GingerYoshi. This topic can be locked.

try everything???? re partition and re format sd card, try ezbifftest 2708 kernel, i had best luck with laszlo rom

First of all, thank you for your guide.
I had not actually partioned before installing froyo, and I did partition before using Ginger right now.
If I would repartion right now, and then reformat... can I then instantly install froyo laszlo and the kernel? And what values for the partioning?

you can flash a rom whenever you want, as long as you wipe all data from previous rom or mod first,so i would repartition to this
96-128mb=swap
512mb=ext
than flash the ohsaka superwipev2, power off device than reboot back to recovery.
flash the rom you want and enjoy!!
re-partitioning/re-formatting does not have to be done everytime.. it's just good to do every once in a while because you never know what could be happening in there... you or a developers rom could have done something somewhere that caused a bug in your sd partitions so its always good to wipe them at some point...
the ohsaka superwipe i do reccomend using everytime!! I also recommend wiping it manually sometimes... also another good known method is a fastboot wipe 'i forget the cmd for it' lol but do these every once in a while...

Did exactly as you said, unfortunately I still get the same problem: Cannot scan for networks.
I will stick to Gingeryoshi for the moment.
Thank you for your time and help.

wow, thats a bummer... i never had that issue with laszlo's rom at all... i wonder what could be wrong. sorry i couldn't help.. just out of curiosity what device do you have? is it a dream or magic?
possibly if you are using a magic, you may need a kernel with wlan.ko modules included for the specific kernel(would be icluded in kernel.zip file)... different kernels wont work with different drivers...

It is a Dream

[Q] problem installing cassies Xtralite ROM

I hear its a good rom so im trying to install the 4.0 version. Every time i do i get her custom loading screen, but it just cycles over and over, i tried using cwm to restore then re install her rom, but it never works, 5 attempts so far. i use kka version. Any thoughts? I came from a different rom, tried from sheep v2, then reverted to factory, tried that, nothing, i even tried from another mod abyss 1.5. Nothing still. So frustrated ughhhhh ><

Basically you are not supposed to experience any problems as it is a very easy installation, the only thing is that it takes ages for the first boot to load so you might wanna give another try and let it boot for few mins b4 giving up
Good luck
P.s
Follow the wipe/no wipe instructions on the OP

oddly it works now, though it is infact "lite" it isnt as fast as id hoped, if she would just incorporate a overclocking method :'(
