Please help!!!!!,g1 keeps crashing.

I'm having some real issues it seems. I recently rooted my g1 about 2 weeks ago I'm running jf 1.5.1. My problem is that as soon as I rooted my phone I started to get all kinds of messages on my phone about my apps not responding no matter what I was doing, even apps I wasn't using the one i get the most is for bugreport. then last night when I was doing some stuff on my computer while I was charging my g1 with the usb, I made the most retard mistake ever when I set my comp to sleep I forgot I was charging and I didn't eject. Now when ever i try to use my phone for more then a call or a text Its crashes to the boot screen with the G1 symbol and then restarts. And yes this also damaged my Sd card, I reformatted it last night and it was fine then this morning when it crashed again It said my sd card was damged and i need to reformat it again, I figured **** it I will buy a new one, a much better one then I had before because I run swapper so I figure that swapper had something to do with it bricking my sd card
as you can probably tell from reading this I am new to this rooting stuff and I really just want it to work right If you need more information just tell me I will gladly do anything I possible can to have my phone work smoothly again, I reside in Las vegas If any one is from there that is willing to help me I will gladly even bring it to you.
Thank you for your time.

do a wipe and flash a new rom

So basicly just re root the phone? If I do this can you tell me what I will lose in my phone? also will this completely fix my problem or is my actual phone damgaged?
will this also fix my sd?

bump bump bump

You don't have to reroot. Just get another rom or reflash the same rom and see if it still happens.

Just wipe and reflash..
however I like your idea better, buy a new G1 and send me your old on, everyone wins!

So I wiped my G1 and flashed Jf 1.5.1 abd1 onto it again and it seems to be working fine again, can any one tell me if there was a better choice then the jf rom? So know that I'm basicly back to square one,can any one point me to a thread or site that will tell me how to get the most out of it both app wise and performance wise.
thanks for the help from ever one who posted,I think I'll be stick'n to this forum for all of my android related questions, " oh **** do I hear dontation"!!!!

[Q] Bell I9000M SD card just bricked

surprised it took this long, had counted myself one of the lucky ones.... even though i was one of the unfortunate saps whose phone came with the three button recovery disabled, (a two week trip to samsung for repair).... was running darky's rom 9.3 and various eaarlier versions since october with no problems... today google voice started force closing so i tried to reboot the phone and it would not boot up again... i went into recovery and tried a wipe, still no go.... then i tried to reinstall the rom, still no go.... when it is booting up it just keeps looping the loading screen and vibrates once, then pause, then three times... i can get into recovery and download mode.
anywhose my questions are this,
A) best way to determine that the SD is in fact bricked.....
B) best way to get a bricked SD card back to stock so i can send it back to samsung for warranty.
C) if i get it back fixed from samsung, should i try to off this piece of Sh*t phone that has given me, and others soooooo many problems. that is to say, has anyone who has had their phone fixed recently had their new SD card go corrupt again??
P.S. never buying anything samsung ever again, PERIOD!!, had a 30 inch monitor of theirs recently go bad as well, like i dont care if they cure cancer, bring peace to the middle east, and resurrect jesus!!! i still wouldnt buy a rememberance day poppy from them!!!!!!!

Do you know what bootloader was running when it bricked? ie was it JL2?

[Q] Having problems with my HD7

Hey guys!
I'm having some serious issues with my HD7... the other night I put it on my charger and went to bed. When I woke up the next morning my device was unresponsive, for one the alarms didn't go off on it. The charging indicator led was lit... I pushed the power button to wake it up and nothing happened (I thought ok, strange) I unplugged it from the charger, indicator light went off and still nothing, it was at this point that I noticed our cat chewed the crap out of the devices USB cable in the middle of the night. (Ugh!!) So I removed the battery and rebooted it and everything seemed fine. A little while later I went to use it and I pushed the power button to wake the screen and again not responsive, remove the battery and reboot and it seems fine. Later I was on it on XDA and I set it down for a min and it starts to go into sleep mode and freezes on a partially dark screen and none of the buttons work, power, volume up/down, camera or the soft keys, pull the battery and reboot its fine, this continues throughout the day so I did a hard reset and the problem still persists. So this continues on for 2 days, so I flashed back to stock rom and perform a hard reset before the first boot and i run stock for a day to see if this helps and unfortunately not it still has the problem. I'm back on DS v7.8 and have performed numerous hard resets now but I think there is a definite hardware issue from when the cat chewed on the cable while it was plugged in!
I have the insurance on the device and can make a claim but the chances of me getting a brand new one from Asurion are slim to none and will probably end up with a refurbished one and I would prefer to just keep mine!
So I'm turning to my great and knowledgeable friends here at XDA for any advice or suggestions on how to fix this problem.
Many thanks in advance!

you do understand that your v7.8 is a betta version and has a lot of bugs, right?

so try a mango rom and let me know!

I do understand that it's buggy and isn't the most stable rom... That's obviously a sacrifice with running a beta version!
As stated in the OP, I flashed my device back to a stock/shipped 7392 rom and ran that for a full day and a half. Then after my post yesterday I flashed back to 7720 Mango rom for a day now and still continue to experienced the exact same problems.
I was actually experiencing the problem before I ever flashed to DS v7.8... Just to clarify between flashing 7392, 7720, DS v7.78 and DS v7.8 the device experiences the issues evenly across the board... Unfortunately no one rom made it any better.
Thanks for the idea though!
I think I've just come to accept the fact that when the cat chewed the USB cable it caused some short circuitry which in turn caused some hardware damage.
After talking to Asurion earlier today, they have informed me that I'm not the first person to experience an issue with their device after a pet had chewed/damaged the USB cable while it was plugged in... They have had multiple claims for the same reason. I will be receiving my replacement device sometime tomorrow, well technically today now!

well, initially, my thought was a bad flash... but you reflashed.
so, my thoughts go to either battery or microSD card.
maybe try re-XSPL-ing.
if still same issue, would try another battery or microSD card.
honestly, though, unsure of a definitive solution.
regards.

I know this ones been a tough nut to crack... I've been racking my brain on it for a week now!
I've re-XSPL-ed twice now and have flashed it more times than I'd like to admit...lol
I have a backup battery and have tried that too with no success.
I haven't tried a different SD card yet - Good idea... It had crossed my mind but is such a pain in the "you know what" to unlock the SD card card and swap it out.
I am preparing for it though, I just downloaded Cab Sender and Storage Lock Cab. Guess I'll have to flash it again to a rom that supports Cab sender and since I'm getting my replacement device today, I need to unlock and remove my 32gb SD card anyway and that will give me the opportunity to try a different SD card in it and see how it performs.
I'm debating on whether or not to send mine back... I have 15 days to return mine after I receive the replacement, if I don't they only charge me $75 for it.. I didn't think that was bad at all and it's almost worth it to keep it for $75 and see if I can get it functioning like normal.

only $75 for a new, refurb HD7? that is a steal!
they still for about $150 on eBay.
good luck on your venture and don't forget to report back.
and thanks.

This is the exact same issue I've been having with my HD7s. And I was running stock Mango since AT&T had never pushed any updates when this started. Since it started happening I tried the manual upgrades to 8107 and 8773 and it's still happening during the charge, and a few times it's locked when I didn't lock the screen and it was attempting to auto-lock. Anyone figure out if it is indeed hardware or if it's just something else happening?

So, I think I located the source of the crashes. After I've disabled WI-Fi for three days I haven't had a crash. Would upgrading to the Mango v2 drivers possibly fix this? It's not a huge issue to turn on Wi-Fi as needed, but it did work for months without me having to disable Wi-Fi to get a reliable phone.

Did you ever get your HD7 working properly and did you try the v2 drivers?

Here's the update for my device....
I flashed Dynamics 7 to my old HD7 and installed Storage Lock cab via cab sender, (which Storage lock ran very well on D7 and didn't cause any problems with the rom) unlocked the 32gb SD card I had in it and removed it from the device. I re-installed the original 16gb SD card (that I was locked out of completely) and put the device back together, booted the device, performed a hard reset and what do you know... the device unlocked and recognized the SD card.
I then flashed it back to stock 7392 rom and ran the device on it for the next 2 days and the problem still persisted. So I flashed it to stock 7720 Mango to see if maybe the Mango rom would help...no luck still having problems. So I came to the conclusion that a new SD card in the device was no gonna solve the issue. I Then downgraded the SPL and XSPL-ed the device and re-installed D7 and Storage Lock cab, unlocked the SD card and removed it from the device.
Now I had already received my replacement HD7 and all new accessories. I downgraded the SPL from 5.xxx to 3.xxx via the goldcard method. XSPL-ed the device and installed D7 and Storage Lock cab, unlocked the 16gb SD card in the device, removed it and then installed the 32gb SD card. Put it back together booted it, hard reset and the 32gb was acknowledged fine in the new replacement device. I then flashed Deepshining 7.8 to it.
Since I just removed my 16gb SD card from my new HD7 and the old one was still disassembled, I figure I'd give this SD card a try in it. I installed the 16gb to the old HD7 and put it back together, booted it, hard reset and the SD card was acknowledged just fine but the problem still persisted.
I though well for the cost of keeping the old HD7 it might be worth it, I inserted the SIM card in the device and it wouldn't work... Once you activate the new replacement device Asurion deactivates the old device, so that you can't use it or sell it to someone, so the device becomes useless other than WiFi. So I unlocked the 16gb SD card, removed it and the SIM card. Flashed the device back to stock Tmous rom, removed the battery and back cover plate. They only want the device and none of the accessories. I shipped off the old HD7 to them and have been enjoying my new device ever since... Plus I have 3 batteries, 2 - 16gb SD cards, 2 back battery cover plates, 2 USB wall adapters and 1 USB device cable now. Not bad for the cost!

TX - SOD

greetings,
have a new unit xperia tx- now suffering from sleep of death, as usual, take the battery out. have not install any apps at all, no micro sd card. Just normal use of the phone. No wifi/bluetooth (off). Happened lots of time so sent it to an authorized service centre. All that was done was a re-flash. All remains the same - android ice cream with the firmware 7.0.A.3.212, latest firmware not out yet in my country.
Everything was ok, for 3 days only, then it came back - Sleep Of Death....
something's wrong with the phone? send it back?
Need you help.
Thanks.

You are second one ever to face SOD issue just send it back and get a replacement asap and i am sure u will get a model Free from bugs Since tx is kinda a perfect mobo
Sent from my LT29i using xda app-developers app

thanks....sent back when there is an SOD, so they receive it while in SOD in order to believe it this time (sent the second time) in the end they replaced a motherboard for me, cannot "verify" it's a healthy new motherboard though.
after few days, update to JB and new FW as no apps installed, still clean. Installed so much apps like battery save, systems info, etc etc until I saw for the first time a DOS (denial of sleep!) before that, running JB few weeks, no apps it was ok. But the DOS did not hang, just press the power button it is ok. DOS - no display, but can see the lcd on the edge lite up.
proceed to uninstall all rarely used apps....still monitoring....I like the phone, but all the while the SOD, DOS...it's starting to annoy me....

Send it back with a feedback of replacing using a faulty part.
Humans have evolved to be smarter, but there's one thing we can't get rid off. It's human stupidity.

Hello,
Firstly please use the search feature before starting a new thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206157&highlight=sod
I was also facing SOD on my TX but i think it was linked to the microSD card. I removed it and till now no SODs. I was using 16gb sdhc class 10. As from what i understood, with xperia phones class 4 is the best to be used.
Since you don't have an microSD card installed.....
Did you try a PC companion repair? or you can try flashing another FTF file (another region) through flashtool. Tutorials can be found in the All in One thread in Q & A

[Q] SD card app recovery

Hi
I have Xperia paly back which i have got form very good deal from Metrolistings dot org I have just got back my xperia play back from repair as the screen just stopped working and as they frigged with the software to nothing is the same, the thing is that I spent a lot of time getting some great apps on my phone that I always put on my memory card and as this was removed when I sent it off they are still there right? Is there any way to get my phone to recognize these again and re install them?If not they are using a lot of now needed space on it so how do I go about selecting the correct files to delete ...........................

If your apps aren't working now, you may have to reinstall them. If there is another solution, hopefully one of the smart folks will come and share the knowledge.
