issues with custom roms - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] Problems with flashing, every ROM I try... PLEASE HELP!

No matter what ROM I try some where down the line (either 1 week, or 1 month etc) i always get the same result. Which is that htc sense stops loading. I have no idea what the problem is and its quite frustrating. i soft-reset, nothing, i turn off sense and turn it back on, nothing. always the same problem. has anyone encountered this before?
Can you give more information? Like what radio version do you use? Does a hard reset tempory help it? What things did you change before this occured?
Yes, I had this happen too. Ultimately, I put the stock ROM back on with the stock radio - kept happening. Sent it back and got a refurbed unit. Absolutely no problems now.
Im having tha same problem
Try Task 29 and then new ROM
Although there is not much of a description of the problem, I strongly believe you may have re-flashed custom ROMs without doing a Task29 which "cleans" the internal FLASH ROM. If this would happen to be the case you get these types of problems where suddenly the Phone just shuts down. Even after HardReset you will only be able to run for a limited time before the phone freezes again.
So give Task29 a shot and see if it helps.
Ps: Also try using a recommended RadioROM for a particular custom ROM.

ive used task 29 every time ive flashed over the months, so its not that... ive used every single reccomended for each radio rom but always the same outcome.
what could it be? ive got a little feeling its got something to do with CHT, as its only when i play around with it alot that it happens.
Same, here. Thought it was my energy ROM but have tasked 29, tried different ROMS from different chefs and radios, taken SD card out all together, only works for a matter of minutes before sense freezes and needs a battery reset, very frustrating - any other suggestions?
I did experience similar issues. In my case I've been using Artemis series of ROM v23, 25 and 28. In my case I did not use T29 the first couple of times. When using v28 of about couple of weeks sense would stop running. In my case it happened after receiving an MMS where I subsequently had to pull the battery to reboot. Ones on reboot I noticed in the file manager that the internal ROM was filled with strange symbols and unrecognizable file names. I did a HardReset to clean up (I thought). The filesystem looked okay, but after that HR Sense would run for a few minutes depending on whether I tried to re-install contacts and settings or left it be. After every freeze I had to do a HR to actually be able to reboot, otherwise it would stop at the orange screen.
What I've done is to upgrade to HSPL3 (2.08 HSPL), TASK 29 and install the latest V.30 (I reckon in a few days it is obsolete ones again ) Now everything is rosy-dandy and running like a clock (knock wood).
I'm using Radio 2.09.51.03_2 on Artemis 30 (NOR). Phone is about 8 months now, and I have not had any problems until a week ago where the above happened.
Fingers crossed!
Still running good...
just to follow up... phone is still working good so it seems Task 29 is indeed a necessary thing to do.

[Q] frequent reboots

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)

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.

Clues to Random Reboot Problems

I'm posting this here because I hope some devs might be able to get a handle on the problem. I think it has something to do with the launcher.
Since I upgraded my phone to a 2.3.4 ROM, I've had constant problems with its randomly rebooting, or occasionally just freezing. (I say "rebooting", but it always gets stuck in a boot loop, and so it might as well be frozen.) The first ROM was Synergy, but I've had the same trouble on Warm, and with three or four different kernels (OC'ed and not OC'ed) on each of those ROM's. In some configurations it's better, and in some it's worse, but I've nearly always had the reboots happen at least once a day. Sometimes it happens while charging, sometimes while it's not; sometimes it happens while I'm touching it, and sometimes when I haven't touched it in hours (kind of annoying when it's my alarm clock--I missed a meeting last week). There's not a lot of consistency in when it happens, though I should say, for the record, that I've been using Launcher Pro the whole time.
Obviously, I'm not the only one with this problem: for some, like me, it started with 2.3.4 (including, in many cases, the stock OTA); for others, it started when the phone was first released; while for others, it's never happened at all. The fact that some people haven't experienced it at all may mean hardware has something to do with it, and I even read one account of a guy who took five different phones back to Sprint for replacements before finding one that worked right.
After searching high and low, I found a thread on the Sprint Community forums that suggested editing the data.prop file to keep the launcher in memory constantly (Look here and scroll down to post #9.). I tried this a couple of days ago, and it hasn't fixed the problem, but it did dramatically reduce it: I went from rebooting every two hours to rebooting once or twice a day.
I've noticed one other interesting thing: a couple of months ago, I started playing Godville, and I've been propping the phone up next to me and letting it idle with the screen on (while on USB), so that I can glance over every once in a while to see if anything is happening in the game. I've noticed that, every few minutes, the home screen wallpaper briefly replaces the app I have open; it happens so fast that I can't tell for sure if the whole launcher is coming up, but I suspect it is. I wonder if this constant yanking of the launcher into the foreground might be the source of the instability.
my mind is like..... blowwwwn

no but on a serious note man... many people have had problems with reboots since the launch of the 3D, which was 2.3.3 based. I doubt that was the issue (launcher, your update, your games... gnomes...)
i would say flash the RPM PGIMG86423million update whatever that number is for the bootloader update.zip, and see if that rids you from the reboots.
for me, i fixed my reboots by getting a new SD card... i had the same issue when i first got my 3D late in july. Did it both on 2.3.3 base, and 2.3.4... it occurred to me one day that a bad disk would cause system reboots... and not being able to change out the one built into the phone... i opted for the SD card because it was cheap and i wanted a better one anyways. reboots went away immediately.
it also never occurred to me initially that my SD had been bad for a long time... not just when i had my 3D.. on my previous phone (samsung moment with froyo), whenever i would move apps to the SD card, i would always get some kind of error message. trying to move them a couple times would always successfully move the app(s) to the SD card.. i figured this was a problem with the rom i was on (speaking of my samsung moment)...
then when i transferred my card to my 3D, same problem, along with the reboots, and a light clicked on in my brain and said "***k-tard, your SD card is bad. derp."
haven't had a single reboot since then. i even wonder if the paramount number of people having reboot issues on the 3D was due to HTC possibly shipping them with defective SD cards...
just something to mix around in your brain for a bit...
Yeah, I considered the SD card as a problem, but the reboots happen even when the SD card is mounted as a USB drive. Also, a bad SD card wouldn't explain why keeping the launcher in memory dramatically reduces the problem.
I'll be giving it a try.
Just a side note. I've been using the stock kernel lately and havn't had a single reeboot. I'm on synergy rom and since he put back in the stock kernel w/ no OC I've had no issues.
I may try that, but it would be sad to not to able to OC a rooted phone. I'm starting to wonder if it's a bad internal flash drive, though.
You should try a stock ROM to see if that solves your issue if that's doesn't work maybe you have defective phone

All my problems went away when I used Senseless ROM. I think the kernel in the ROM is stock. It's been over two weeks since my phone has frozen on me and no more random reboots.
Only stable kernels are tiamat and stock. All the others cause bootloops thanks to tryin to remove ciq

I'm having the same reboot issues. I've noticed a few things:
1. Doesn't matter what sd card or how new, my phone reboots unexpectedly
2. Phone ONLY reboots RIGHT when the screen times out. Only on Android 2.3.4 w/ sense! It does not matter what kernel. Whatever I do, all reboots are directly related to sense on 2.3.4.
3. The only solution I have found is to deactivate the screen time out or gut HTC proprietary sense from the ROM.
P.s. I DO NOT have problemswith any ota based off 2.3.3

Tiamat isn't stable for me.

Nor for me. It causes daily hard lockups that require a battery pull on my phone. Tiamat exhibited this on multiple ROMs for me.
I think trying a largely stock rom is a must as a start to tracing your problem. So is incremental additions of apps, tweaks, etc. Basic debugging and defect isolation stuff.

What about bcblend by mwalt? Senseless rom has been using that for quite some time and I haven't had any issues. When it was switched to tiamat for a short time (2.5 & 2.6, i believe) I had problems with lockups and reboots. Reboots would occur when the screen timed out every once in a while.
Just curious OP - have you tried the phone on a newly installed rom without installing any side apps for a day or so and seeing if you have any problems? Back on my old nexus S 4g i had issues with a particular battery app that would give similar problems to what you are experiencing.
Tiamat has not been stable for me either. I tried many different rom and kernel combos and am still having the issue. I noticed it is mostly happeneing when the phone is plugged in. but it also happens sometimes when im on a call. So there has to be more than one issue one being the proximity sensor and i cant figure out the other ive hset charging profiles to 384max and 198 min and other low clock speeds to see if it would help. Also set a temp profile to underclock when its over 38.0 celsius. Right now im running olympus trinity xe titan i ran it for a few days with mild anthrax and it only froze/rebooted a few times a day. I tried the anthrax kernel and it rebooted twice the first half hour so i flashed tiamat last night. Im trying to give it time to settle in but it just rebooted again when i plugged into pc. I bought my phone used and rooted before i even activated it so i dont know if this is something kernel/rom related. I started another thread a few days ago about this and the few responses i got were people running stock romand kernel not rooted. So i guess all we can hope for is the devs to figure it out or sprint to give us an ota that fixes it since im starting to belive its a hardware issue.
If you're on titan freezas is recommended.

Not for that long a period, no--unfortunately, I haven't been in a position where I could give up most of the use of my phone for that long. Once I have grades submitted next Monday, I can probably do more methodical testing.
I'm still freaked out by the way the launcher pops up every few minutes, though--has anyone else ever seen anything like that?

Moving to General
One of my favorite rom and kernel combo's is infected eternity with anthrax but random reboots are common for me with any sense based rom. I run MIUI with whatever aosp kernel and everything is flawless. Other than experimenting with kernels to find battery life, MIUI is the most stable rom I have used so far and is my new daily driver!
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using xda premium
My evo also reboots and i havent rooted my phone at all. I did get a new SD card and that reduced the amounts of reboots i get! . Although, i still get a few every week.
hope sprint/person finds a fix for this soon.
Mine did it stock / rooted stock and viper ROM I an on fresh and so far smooth as butter ... Stock rooted was awful every time it would time out bam reboot

S2 suddenly started crashing randomly (freezes&reboots)

hey folks,
i have encountered an annoying problem that has made using the s2 quite an unpleasant experience recently.
I bought my s2 about 4 months ago. after 2 weeks or so i switched to miui (galnet) and have stuck to miui ever since. later i switched to langthangs releases as well as siyahs kernels (loving both, major props to them).
around mid of december, my phone suddenly started to crash. up till then i had a couple of freezes here n there, maybe once or twice a months. but since then, even though i did not change anything, my phone has been crashing more often, like 5-10 times a week. updating kernel and rom didnt help.
i experience two types of crashes:
a) freeze: phone just stops working. i have to take out the battery to reboot
b) reboots: phone just reboots out of the blue. sometimes it reboots 3-4 times in a row, like after the first reboot the phone does nothing for 2-3 minutes, then reboots again and so on
i am not sure if that helps, but most of the time the freezes occur while using the internet, the market and playing games. reboots occur randomly, even if the phone is not used at all.
i haven't done any overclocking, just undervolting using voltage control. but i had been using the reduced voltages for weeks, long before the crashes started to occur. and yes, i did try switching back to the stock voltages.
i may have dropped my phone a couple of times, but none of the drops was really bad as it has no scratches or dents.
Anyone else having the same experience?
Is there a way to check if -maybe- the ram/rom is defect? If nothing helps, i think i ll have to flash a stock rom and submit a warranty claim
I would go on a limb saying its MIUI's fault. Wich version of Syiah are you using? Try to reflash different version, I found that 2.6.2 is stable. Also the new one 2.6.6 wich I'm currently testing is stable to, other ones were kinda buggy.
Also are you undervolting or UC'ing ?
If all else fails flash different ROM, after testing many of them I found the latest Criskelo to be stable as a rock.
The only way to really tell is to flash back to a stock rom and see if the freezes/reboots still occur...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
well, i have tried different roms. and yeah, i am undervolting and underclocking (200-1000).
but isnt it strange? i have been using miui for months without any problems, and baaam ... suddenly the phone starts crashing? i mean at the time the freezes and reboots started to occur, i had been using the same system (kernel,rom,setting,apps) for weeks without any problems.
i ll try going back to stock. if that doesnt help, ill send it in.
btw. i have flash stock via odin, will the exclamation mark during the bootup process vanish?

Yep, hence you flashed original firmware the dredded(by some) yellow triangle will dissapear.
It will reapear as soon as you root your device.
that last sentence was supposed to be "if i flash stock via odin ..."
ok. ill try that and report back.
BUT
if flashing a stock rom helps, the problems much likely lies with the custom rom. but if so, why did they work perfectly fine until recently?
i may have dropped my phone a couple of times, but none of the drops was really bad as it has no scratches or dents.
Logic says that is the answer .
jje
u think so?
the phone just slipped out of my hand a couple of times, but it never fell on the floor (lets say 30cm or more).
and why would sth like that cause freezes like that? i mean my sisters ace has a totally shattered glass and its still working perfectly fine.
anyway, backing up all my stuff and trying a stock rom tmr

[Q] Galaxy SII with stock 4.0.3 ICS ROM unusually hot

Hi Guys,
I installed the new ICS ROM (4.0.3) ROM with KIES a few days ago. What I have noticed, that certain tasks like taking photos, browsing photos and internet make the phone unusually hot, more like overheating especially around the camera part. I noticed the same thing when the phone plugged into the computer and the KIES is running. I never noticed any of this with the 2.3.5 ROM before. Has anyone noticed something like this with the new ICS ROM? It very annoying, and only restarting the phone solves the problem. Simply closing the programs with the task manager not.
Thanks and have a good day!
You should keep an eye on the task manager when it happens, in my case it was a app that was crashed in the background, but kept running, maxed out the Cpu usage, got really hot and drained the battery quickly.
Get your battery out for a few secs for a reset, and check task manager when it occurs again.
Hey there,
Thanks for the reply. I noticed, that it happens, anytime when I start browsing photos.It gets very hot. Even after restarting the phone. I never had this issue with the 2.3.5 stock rom. I'm thinking to put it back. I can't really see the advantages of using ICS, when I have more problems with it
try reflashing
try some other modem
try cyanogenmod 9 beta
go back to GB if all fails
The thing is that Samsung f*cked up the ICS release.
I have also encountered my phone getting very hot and draining massive battery.
This may be a kernel problem.
Try another custom Rom.
i noticed that too when i upgraded to ICS
so i installed this ROM : Resurection Remix v1.0
the problem went away, and phone is alot smoother now
try it.
The same thing with me. I asked a lot of questions in a lot of forums, i even tried diferent custom roms (omega etc) but i still have the problem. If somebody have tried the Ressurection remix rom must tell us if the problem insists
