[Q] Razr i Lost sign and reboot - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my razr i(xt890) have 2 years now and start to have problems like sudden loss of signal and reboot shortly after that, especially when I'm using 3g or making / receiving a call .. I have tried to wipe data / factory reset on fastboot and factory reset on settings, but after 2 or 3 days the problems happen again .....
My question is, has anyone had or know how to solve this problem? or does anyone know how to clean it real, delete all, REALLY like factory? Because after the wipes I noticed my files are still there, and directories of applications too, so I found it weird, Wipe data isn't suposed to WIPE? .... If I install a ROM it would look like new? I do not understand much of it ... PS the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted. I love the phone, don't want to buy another.... Thanks for anyone to help.

You can flash a stock ROM using RSD Lite. This should wipe everything excluding your micro SD.
RSD Lite.
Stock ROMs here & here.

np, i really asked if you have a loose SD or SIM...
And "nothing special installed" means nothing or just a little bit installed?
And exactly which ROM is installed?
Maybe u try another ROM...
I have the Retail UK/British Version: 9.8.2I-50_SMI-29 FULL installed.

Ah got it, so I don't really think that is a hardware problem, because the problem was happening really frequently, and when I flash the stock rom it stop happening for 15 days... I don't think I have any problem like loose SD or SIM, cause I noticed that it only happens when I'm recieving a call or when I turn on the data (3g)... this is a specific situation, not every time.
Nothing special means I don't really install many things after wipe data, because I don't want to reinstall everything in case didn't solve the problem.
And I never installed mods and lounchers... nothing like that
My version is 9.8.2I-50_SML-20.20
and I don't know if you need this: 982.50.20.XT890.Brasil.en.BR
Thanks again

Kabooot - it looks like your /efs folder is corrupt. If you have made a backup of that folder, you can try restoring it. There are some pointers on this thread.

If following all that stuff from the link does not work (I hope it does!), then you might try to flash a firmware with Odin, and select the option "Phone EFS Clear".
NOTE: I am not entirely sure this is safe!
But when I had the EXACT same problem you are having, I reflashed my phone like 20 times with many different firmwares, and a few times I selected that option. Then one time... just randomly... my phone started working, and I even got back my original IMEI and stuff.

I think he is a young kid & may not have a lot of experience/patience of many of us here, I think some patient soul here can guide him to flash an official ROM over Kies. I think Kies can see the phone in download mode & can update the firmware.
Have you solved your problem yet?

[Milestone] Big problem about burn 2.2 roms

I tried servel time to burn the froyomod 2.2.0 or the cm 6.1 rom and everything go o.k until the first boot up I get a message that com.android.process has stopped and this repat every 5 sec and I have no signal ,I tried like burn over ,wipes ,try diffrent rom's nothing work and something interest is that when I set filght mod everything work's great , I think the phone cannot connet to my opreator(cellcom, isreal) and that's why this happning ,please help me solve this issue.
happy new year everybody and thx
no one cant help, I really freak out to solve this issue
Hi matanamos,
have you wiped data/cache before flashing?
For 2.2 ROM's it might be recommended, to install one of the full G.O.T. 2.2.1 SBF images with RSDlite first.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
scholbert
I tried everything you said and nothing work.
I really want to move from 2.1
BTW THX

Did you install the correct baseband files?
For example, the ROM you installed could be using Europe 3G and your operator could be running North American 3G (no idea what your provider uses, but you should look it up).
Once you know, you could choose the appropriate baseband in either GOT Open Recobery or Androidiani OR.
There are some manual ways (file copying) to do this, but it is more complicated to do then through OR (especially if you already flashed).
I do what you say with the OR Androidiani and I set Basehane Israel-Cellcome (the one I use) and nothing help the phone keep send me the erorr ,
I dont know what to do anymore!

try this
go to the open recovery menu wipe the cache and dalvik cache and then change the baseband and wipe the dalvik cache and cache again
if still can't then try using RSD lite to flash the GOT 2.2.1 SBF then wipe the cache and dalvik cache
let us know what happens next
First of all thx for your comment,
When I burn firstly the G.O.T 2.2.1 the Rom works(he recognize my opreator(cellcom)) great and after I burn the ROM I want like Froyomod or MIUI I still get the Erorr!
please andybody?!?!?
I had the same issue. This is what I did.
Flash the original sbf using rsd lite. Flash vulnerable recovery using rsd lite. Flash CM using OR. Then do a dalvik, cache and full system wipe. Reboot.
This solved my issue. But remember, whenever ur flashing the original sbf and the bootloader, do not boot into android. Keep the Direction Pad up key pressed so you always boot into the bootloader when Rsd lite reboots ur phone.
Try that and pm me if you still have issues.
I must use the CM ROM or I can use the FROYOMOD instead!?
and I dont understand what I have to do after I Flshe the Rom By the RSD LITE , you mean after the RSD LITE flash my SBF and restart my phone I need AUTO get into bootloader agian1?
and what you mean by the "Original Sbf"?
The yellow sim is cause to the Force Close problam.
hhhh LOLLL matan?!?! XD i recogenize you XD
Some ROMs overclock by default ( i believe most do by now).
This makes you phone faster, but potentially less stable with some (rare) milestones. You be may unlucky with you phone.
You should check to see if this is the case.
Either edit the 10overclock file manually from a shell in your recovery if use a recovery that supports overclock and disable it (set it back to stock 550).
Another option, if you really want to overclock, is to up the max vsel to gain stability. But as this requires trial and error, i would test the stock speeds first to confirm that this is indeed the problem.
It may not be overclocking, but it sure sounds like what happens when you have just enough vsel to boot but not enough to be stable.

Try installing another rom?
if you try out a few roms and they all dont work, then its properly a hardware error.

IMHO, first thing to do is check your SD Card. Do you see it under CWR ? Can you plug it into another material ? PC, phone, Camera, Nintendo DS, etc... ?
f you can see it somewhere else, then your flash gone bad. Just flash again.
i dont completely understand what you mean, but i can see my SD Card in my pc, other phone, and in CWR.

Try flashing a different ROM, upgrading your ROM, or factory reset your device, if none of this thing works, then your phone has some phisical damage/problem.
Hope this helps

Try with a different SIM and then you will know if it is because of the SIM, but as far as i know, there couldn't be a relation between a faulty SIM and a software reboot, but who knows.
Maybe it's a hardware problem, in this case you should make it as stock as possible, lock it and bring it to warranty if you have one
Hope this helps and keep searching, maybe your problem is present at other devices, maybe you will find a fix there.

Phone reboots after i just plug in usb or even charger

Hi everyone. i am new here!
I just used odin to get back to stock rom for my captivate, i had [4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[RC2] rom installed before i installed stock rom
everything working fine right now but when i plug my usb into the phone to copy some files it just automatically turns off after 4-5 second and it stays turned off , and when i unplug usb, its automatically turns on again. even when i plug my phone charger, happening same thing. that means i can't even charge my phone! was searching this problem , there are some similar problems but not like this, could not find any solution yet.
- Tried 2 different usb cabels but same thing happening on both.
- I did not drop my phone or something like that.
- battery was working fine. except it loses energy pretty faster, like 1 day.
I installed stock rom because i wanted to fix my IMEI problem and then wanted to go back to Captivating xperia themed rom. now IMEI is fixed but how do i install rom if i can't even use my usb?
Please help!
Thanks.
Never mind. i fixed it by my self. looks like it was my stock rom causing that usb problem. i installed another rom by using "download mode" from odin. now my problem is fixed but my imei is still messed up. hope i will fix that soon too.

That could be your modem, might need to flash another.
For your imei, try to flash another ROM from stock. Your phone obviously doesn't like the one you're using atm.

Modem is the radio. Just like a kernel, you can flash another that could work better in your area.
