Hi, I have a problem where my phone always reboots itself. I've tried changing android builds and reformat my sdcard many times but all in vain. btw, I'm using MIRI 6.5 V17 and radio 2.10.50.26.
Happens to me once every couple of days.
No idea what causes it, but recent DesireHD/DesireZ builds are much better (although not completely reboot-free).
but it happens to me more than twice a day and it always happen when I'm not using it. (In standby mode)

Make sure you aren't using an overclocked kernel.
Eg try my Alternative kernel

alright, I'll try that. thanks
[EDIT] I've installed your 7.5 alternative kernel. We'll see how it goes. Thanks again
[EDIT2] whoops!now it reboot again by itself. FML
Happens to me while using any custom kernel like huanyu's or hastarin's. Strangely however, when I use the stock kernel from autobuild it never happens :S

What reboot are you guys talking about? Rebooting back to windows from android right,coz i had mine like this before then all of a sudden it was also rebooting by itself while it was on windows.had it replaced by tmobile becoz it was already a hardware problem.it overheated the motherboard,tried changing radio,windows rom,android rom etc. now ive got a completely new phone with working Windows ROM & Android ROM.im currently on Froyostone Sense v3.2 coz im having a lot of data drop on phireMOD.

Yup, from android to WinMo. I've tried hyperdroid,froyostonesense, and all mdeejay's builds but it reboots itself still.
the problem i get is when the the phone goes to sleep (blacklight) i press a button to wake it up nothing happens the screen stays black like the phone is off then i have to pull the battery out and restart the phone does anyone else have this problem and does anyone know how to fix this problem
same here, i thou that's bad mem card problem. i changed to class six mem and it's still doing the same thing. it hangs whenever i use NAVI or GPS based stuff.
also it hangs sometimes for no good reason.
wondering if i should switch to G2

Random reboots is caused by UNDERVOLTED kernels. Some CPU's can handle undervolt, some can't! This has been mentioned MANY times. Use autobuild or alternative kernel's like the one hasterin is providing!

That makes sense.
Thanks for the heads-up
Guys try this build: Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._2.4.2_NextSense. I've had no reboots at all! And I have been using it for almost 2 weeks now. Updated the HTCCamera.apk yesterday and its still on.
Every other build I tried crashed at least one time a day. Even the NextSense 2.5 and 2.6. Tried them with all sorts of kernels and radio's.
I have tried many custom roms but always keep getting freezes or issues loading sense.
The main reason i looked into custom roms was to improve reliabilty of android but now it seem android is more stable that windows. and since trying different windows roms now i cant seem to get my version of android to boot altogether.
tried formatting sd card, task 29 before flashes just seems hopeless
p.s fed up of nearly finishing angry birds then having to reinstall
popping the battery out about 10 times a day this is a piss take
using energy rom either loads up straight to the lock screen and freezes, just keeps saying loading sense but doesnt, just says htc but doesnt load anything or occasionally half load sense but all messed up or randomly freezes or SLEEP OF DEATH.
what the hell is going on?

Did you try stock ROMs ? .. remove HSPL and try 3.14 .. they say it has some problem, but trust nobody and try it for yourself .. " Nothing is better than the original "
FYI, it isn't all about the ROM. For me, Android ran best in 3.14 ROM but i flashed energy cuz I use winmo much often
how do you remove hspl? its not just an energy rom issue because i tried another rom and this keeps happening. just doesnt make any sense just keeps repeatedly crashing, why??
As funny as it might sound have you ever changed your radio? I know some radios will cause all sorts of issues with certain ROMs.
yeah i was on radio 15 and also tried 12 and its still freezing. tried using the phone without the sd card to see if thats causing any issue and is still freezing. only recently started to do this tho.
back on official rom now and no problem so why was there such much freezing on custom roms?

I had exactly the same problem. I never installed any custom roms until I upgraded to the stock 3.14 and then onto Artemis recently and all of them just hang at bootup or randomly. Maybe its an issue with the newest official ROM?
Hey everyone. My GTablet powers off when idle with all the 1.2 ROMs I have found. I have worked several days now trying to upgrade to something better than the stock 1.1 but everything I have tried will shut down when idle for a few minutes. I have found some GREAT ROMs out there!
Even though I have soft bricked it a few times, wiped the data several times, Had a few boot loops that were entertaining. I have wiped with nvFlash and installed:
Bottle of Smoke a6
Brilliant Corners 1.2
Illuminate 2.1
They all act the same. Is it just mine doing this? You can use it for an hour and it is fine but if you sit it down 5 minutes it shuts itself off and will take 3 minutes to boot back up.
Even though my gtablet over clocked is really fast. Instant on and off is what a tablet should be.. In the end I cannot get things accomplished while I am still booting up.
After a few google searches this looks like a common problem with gtablets, but mine did not start it until I upgraded to 1.2 BL. Odd...
All I can say is that with the latest CM7 with bootloader 1.2, my G Tablet does this sometimes, but not always.
Though it might be a false perception, it seems more prone to do this when I sleep the tablet too soon after I awaken it.
You didn't search hard enough. You need clemsyn custom kernel to resolve the sleep of death issue. I've been having my gtab on for almost a week now (most times in sleep mode) and never had any problem. I encourage you to go to my website in link.

Great website. Many thanks! Were you having sleep of death problems on all Rom's before you installed clemsyn's kernal or only on 1.2? I've not had a problem but when I read of others it makes me hesitate about switching to a 1.2 rom
I've been running LeeDroid V3.3.3 for about a month or two (been a LeeDroid user since the V2 days, a good 10-12 months) with no issues.
However, recently my Desire HD just keeps turning itself off. Sometimes, I'd get by with no problems in a day, other times it'll just turn itself off like 10 times in 5 minutes. Everytime I turn it off, it boots up and when everything is loaded – it would just turn off without warning.
I thought it was a battery issue but I took the "battery cover" off and held the battery in, as in literally pushed it in and booted the phone but still it turned off like 10 seconds after booting up.
Is there anything I can do to get this fixed? It's so freaking annoying.
There are times literally when I can't use it, just gets caught in a 'turning off cycle' and won't snap out of it.
It's currently running a freshly installed copy of LeeDroid V3.2.1 because I thought trying a different version would work, as the ROM is buggy but this didn't help. I tried several versions that I knew worked perfectly. This is literally a fresh copy; haven't even imported my contacts at the moment.
help anyone?
Is your processor overclocked? If it is, then is it at a stable speed? Also, have you tried flashing a new rom (not some other version of the same rom)? Or have you tried flashing a new kernel?
I installed SetCPU again to see what the clocked stats were;
Min: 245mhz
Max: 760mhz
As far as I know that's within a stable range..
I haven't tried flashing a new ROM, because I thought LeeDroid was the most stable.. any ones you recommend? I actually haven't flashed anything but LeeDroid.
The latest update for LeeDroid was done via Rom Manager Premium which allowed the installation of the BFS Kernel. When I used to do it manually, I always kept the stock Kernel because there was a high risk of bricking the phone.
Phones currently on;
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-LeeDroid-Ace-GB-3.2.0 BFS-g14a52b4
ROM: LeeDroid HD V3.2.1_GB
Baseband: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Android Version: 2.3.3 / HTC Sense Version: 2.1
try android revolution by mike 1986. keep us updated on what will happen.
isn't 700mhz underclocked?

I would recommend Android Revolution HD found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040 . This should (hopefully) fix your problem. Report the results .

Yes. 700Mhz is underclocked.
I am about to try Android Rev.
What's the best method to keep it at a stable clock speed? Which program/method and what IS a stable clock speed?
Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments on this!
UPDATE: After several attempts of trying to download the ROM (kept timing out) - I've managed to get the ROM and the recommended radio flashed successfully!
Shall keep you guys posted on the developments ahead
Works a treat! It tried to shut down again - but unlike LeeDroid, the Android Revolution HD rom warned me that the sim card has come loose and gave me two options; turn off or restart.
I just turned it off, and gave the SIM card slot/area a good clean (it was quite dusty) and now, 2 days without it shutting down! Quite an improvement from like 15-20 times an hour
Thanks alot guys! The new Android Revolution HD ROM is so muchhh better too! I love it!

I just had something similar but instead of the simcard I just removed my sdcard while rebooting and waited a couple of minutes after boot before I inserted my sdcard back in. My phone was turning off every 5min, now after 8 hours he still didn't turn off.
Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me....I'm getting kind of desperate here! Basically my Atrix keeps randomly rebooting or getting stuck with the screen off (requiring a batter pull) . This happens about 10-20 times a day (my Atrix is far too unreliable right now to use as a daily). This seems to ONLY happen when on network (ie 2g/3g/hspa) and doesn't seem to happen on wifi. I can leave it on all night and day at home on wifi happily with no trouble but as soon as I go to work and leave it on network, the trouble starts. Its weird cause if the phone is doing something with the screen off (playing and streaming music over Bluetooth for example) it won't have any problems. Its only once I leave it at rest on the network that it turns into the most unreliable handset ever.
At first I thought it may be the neutrino rom I was running but I've since been using jokersax's amazing ics builds and the same problem persists. I did a full clean (format /data & /system plus cache and factory wipe ) and loaded on the latest beta build this morning, left it clean with zero apps except google (and xda!) and within an hour of getting to work the problem came back.
I am fully boot loader and network unlocked.
Please, if anyone has any idea I would be really grateful. I am tearing my hair out!

It is happening with me too, but, I dont realize it on happen on mobile data connection
Since i flashed beta 0.1.0 2d of Jokersax's ICS and come out of home
Today, for 5 times I have to pull battery out of Atrix
Why not try a more stable ROM first and see if you get reboots.You do realize some phones just cannot handle unstable roms like the cm9 builds even though they are great for some ppl it just doesn't workout also maybe you are using an oc kernel that your phone cannot handle.I would check both things first.
Try some a bit more stable.
cm7 ba2ft
wetdream
darkside
gingermod
If you get the same with those then maybe fastboot wipe and stuff like that so you can clear everything out
EDIT: flash a radio too

Hey,
Thanks, I'm going to try Gingerblur tonight... I had ruled that out as I have used darkside/gingerblur before and apart from the occasional reboot they were OK. The reboot was OK really, I know its a known issue with this model even with unrooted handsets, as long as its occasional and clean boots back to system again it doesn't really matter as I don't pin lock my sim (currently my problems are either a reboot every three minutes as soon as I switch the screen off... or, more commonly, the dead screen, needing that battery pull) .
I *suspect* that it may be the radio, but really need some solid advice on this because a couple of years ago I completely bricked my G1 by flashing the wrong radio and vowed never to touch radios again if I didn't have to....I am naturally very hesitant about radio flashing from that episode. Can anyone give me some decent advice on which radios i should be looking at for an unlocked ( but formerly Orange UK) Atrix? One very nervous owner here!
The other weird thing is that is perfectly fine when on a power source.

Hang on, I'm not making sense here, maybe it is these advanced ROMs, I was just surprised that neutrino (a cm7 based rom) also produced these reboot problems. Anyway, any advice on radios would be appreciated

As long as you flash atrix radios only you should be okay. I flashed just about every applicable radio on my brother's captivate and never bricked it.
I agree with you and previous posters, it sounds like a radio issue for sure.

I have the same problem with my Atrix running cm7 ba2ft. Sometimes it does not respond when you try to unlock, and I need to take out the battery to turn it on again. I bought the phone couple of weeks ago.
another thing to look at would be the battery my friend had similar problems with his nexus and tryed Roms and radios I bought him a new battery as a joke and the joke ended up on me cause he hasn't had the problem since let me know if this helped you aswell

Same problem here. Very aggravating.
I am having the same problem. And I am 100% stock with no mods. I just installed OTA 2.3.6 so I am waiting to see if that helped.
Yeah, I'm really worried this is a hardware problem - I've been quiet these past couple of days testing the brand new GB radio and when that still had errors i then also tried the European one - the problem still persists. I have now downloaded every Atrix radio under the sun now so may try a few more...
This is quite frustrating as a) I really want to enjoy ICS as it really is a step up from previous versions of Android and b) I no longer have the option of selling this in its current state.
I'm also going to try a new battery as WikidClown suggested above, can't harm....I can pick up one on Amazon for less than a tenner.
One thing is for sure, I don't think I will be buying Moto hardware again!

Actually, scratch that, I know exactly how to do that...except I can't boot into fastboot. Is this indicative of something wrong? Will I have to go back to SBF?

i baught my atrix used. everything was stock. still had multiple reboots and battery pulls daily. on cm9 they seem to happen less. and the battery pull only happened once. but i know the issue must still be there. might try my wifes battery. her atrix has rebooted maybe 5 times ever. 3 since this last official update (she is still lock stock and 2 smoking barrels)
OK, trying a new battery is my last hope...I did a fastboot wipe this morning and for an hour and a half it was all going so well...but then the reboot happened.
I'm getting a bit fed up with this pos hardware...I can't even sell this thing in this state.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Anyone have any other experiences? I have confirmed that it isn't the battery...I bought a new batter and within 45 minutes it has rebooted once and done the screen off thing where it needs a battery pull. Complete crap.
One thing to note is that it does seem to get very warm on the back, although the internals ( behind the battery) don't seem so bad. Is there any way to keep the temp down aside from underclocking? All my roms have always been under clocked so I know that doesn't make any difference.
The other thing I might try is to use something like Noled so the phone isn't completely idle. Might drain the battery a bit unnecessarily though....why couldn't Moto have put in an amoled screen?
Anyway, will report back once I've tried it.

I used to get tons of random reboots and then I was told to get the app called "Wake My Android Pro". Settings -> Test Activity -> Auto Startup, and Stop Activity checked. Weird settings, I know, technically with stop activity checked it doesn't do anything, but ever since then I don't experience random reboots. This was a few months ago when I was on just CM7. I've always installed this app when I get a new rom and I've tried Neutrino, Darkside, Alien, Aura, CM7, Wet Dream, and currently on joker's CM9 beta 1 build and RARELY experience random reboots. It went from once an hour to once a month now. I'm also on the .36p radio if that helps.

Cheers, have downloaded and will report back. The most annoying thing about troubleshooting a problem like this is that there is no immediate 'it worked or 'it didn't work' ....it's just a waiting game! Thanks a lot though, really hope it does work (and thanks for replying, was starting to feel like I was answering threads to myself!). I have .36 radio installed already (I think, will check...it's the Brazilian one isn't it?) .
Just to check then...you have all the check boxes in wake my android ticked?
