[Q] Reboots (random & loops) across all custom ROMs - HELP! - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone started rebooting several times. At first I thought it was the custom ROM, but it started happening in ALL roms I tested, specially when I try to test GPS: it just NEVER works. And that also happended with completely different basebands (Tested .49, .52, .54 and .58), 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs.
My last attempt was to a clean Froyo FreeX10 beta install. Bb .54, Full wipe, etc etc.. For a few hours everything was normal but when I tried GPS (Google app) it restarted and ended up in a boot loop. Removed battery but it continues into loop.
Should I flash SE original ROM again (using SEUS?) to see if works? I'm out of ideas right now, please help!

Arrrgh! It's even worst than I thought. I tried flash Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.1.A.0.435 and the random reboots persists.
Also I noticed some weird things using Wifi, downloads on Marked just doesn't start, get paused like forever... HELP!!!!

I suppose force a repair with seus.and if that doesn't fix it then it might be some hardware issue :/

Thanks. I even formatted my SD Card but still with problems, I'm thinking about buy a bigger/faster one and maybe another battery, but if it's the phone itself the problem then I'm in trouble.
PS: I tried SEUS but no go :S

sounds like the same problem i and other users have faced, tell me when the phone reboots take the battery out and give the phone a smell, does it smell like burning? mobo has gone

I say remove the GPS app using adb. Then flash a new ROM from scratch. Then install another GPS app.

Ouuuuch! It does! I thought it was the battery dying but in this case should I flash back to stock and use my warranty?

Thanks, didn't even know it was possible, will give it a try but now I think its the mobo

what is moboo?

mobo = mother board

Just FYI, my phone is on technical assistance right now and they informed it will take long because many X10 are having the same issue, it will probably be escalated to SE and I will probably receive a new one
Now let's wait, will report back later.

Could jit have adverse effects.?

My X10 usually reboots when I use multiple apps(around3+).Ex.data+poweramp. I'm pretty sure it has to do with JIT. X10a 2.1.1.A.0.6 JIT V2

which rom are u using?
i am guessing se stock 2.1? which baseband?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Bottom of the first post:
IMPORTANT:
- You should always wipe userdata if you switch between Android versions (1.6 <-> 2.1). If not your phone will keep restarting all the time. This is the same for some providerbrandings even if you flash between same Android versions. So if you have this restarting problem, flash again with Wipe Userdata. If you don't want to loose your apps you have to backup them with Titanium or some other backup tool!

Yeah that what i did. i never wiped userdata when i first used flash tool 1.6 branded orange uk -> 2.1 Global Generic
for some reason though the restarts have got worse as of late.
one thing though its been a while since i used flash-tool is the option to wipe user-data there? i know its in xrecovery
and if b wipe user data you mean like a master reset didn't everyone do this when they went to 2.1
Yeah, it's in the latest flash tool. When I first flashed from 1.6 to 2.1 Nordic, my phone would randomly freeze and then reboot. It was really annoying. However, when I upgraded to the newest 2.1 firmware(s) using the new flash tools it doesn't happen to me anymore. I guess it could be considered a master wipe, but I never factory reset my phone before doing it. Flash to the newest firmware and see if it fixes the problem.
Good Luck!
well after reflashing and doing everything by the book its still doing it so im getting another one
I don`t complete get it but i guess you`re on 2.1. Right?
I found that`s really strange.
I switch frequently to/from and vice-versa between 2.1/2.2/2.3x and between different basebands and never had any issue (apart when all this rom thing started a few months ago, cause they`re all instable at the time).
Try with latest flashtool available if you didn`t already.
Check on flashtool thread or on my how-to for firmwares.
Like i said. There`s no reason for that happen and even less if we`re talking of SE ones.

Yeah i am on 2.1 latest 435 i reflashed phne while wiping userdata and when i set it all back up it started random rebooting again going as far as doing it while i was texting which was a first
im assuming the phone overheated
Pilot, I believe there was some mention awhile back, possible short / connection problem on sum of the boards, my first x10 battery would heat up and restart over n over.. swapped it at at&t and the new one has worked perfectly for 4 months n 7 diffrent roms!!

Rebooting by himself!

Hi guys. I have probl.
I had new 2.2.2 official rom with which i wasn't satisfied. Then i decide to turn back on 315 2.0 old official rom, but when i put it back he started to reboot (reset) mobile phone a few times and than stopped. But then once i tried COpilot and start using GPS and he again start to reboot. So i thought that is a problem with rom, but when i update it with this new version of official rom...he also start to do reboot by himself, even i use GPS or for example facebook aplication. WTF IS WRONG? Fastboot is original, rom is official...

Try to reflash> is all I have got from the forum!
Even my life has become ugly with 351 !! Damn 2.2.2 !! ( I mean damn the last ".2" ) hehe.
but, hey, why dont you try going to 318? that is looking like a stable base, where many people are!
and, dont forget. do a factory reset after your upgrade!
apparently that is also known to do away with some typical issues, similar to what you see with the Pilot app!
Sony.
btw, the way you went back to 315 is by 'update.pkg' of 315 on SD card and via 'recovery mode' ?
<nothing is rooted, right?>
Oh sorry, it was 318... not 315. And it was fresh clean instalation of new rom.not upgrade.
Reflash? hmmm?

wifi not working.

Hey, My wi-fi/hotspot shows up as error when i go to settongs and wireless networks. i had the problem with alien#4 so i decided to switch to cynanogen 7.1 and still nothing :/ is it a hardware problem or i need to flash a different baseband/kernel or what? thanks for the help in advance if anyone reples. it would mean alot haha
I had that issue when I installed one of faux123 kernels.I re-flashed the kernel wipped cache and dalvik and rebooted.I didn'tn have the issue afterwards,hope this helps out.
thanks. I tried flashing a 1.30 ghz kernel by faux123 and i have a bootloop :/
try flashing a different kernel.I notice the 1.3 works better than 1.45 for me no bootloops.try going into cwm and clear cache dalvik and fix permissions.
ok,im using tenfars recovery. should i be using clockwork mod?
i don't know what the problem is :/ i still have error for wi-fi.. but i flashed 145 cause that's all that would work

Tenfa'rs recovery is outdated. Use romracer's instead (he just updated today).
*Edit* I ran into this same problem early on when I started flashing customs mods. Ended up having to go back to my "stock" backup before wi-fi started working again. After that, I haven't had it re-occur. That might be your best bet to get it functioning again. If not, it may be a hardware issue.
haha I just got this thing 3 months ago...hopefully it's not a hardware issue. but i'll try that
MY phone is completely effed right now..like the "soft keys" on the bottom don't work and the screen sensitivity is really low..it's like my phone is destroying itself or something.
Sounds like a hardware issue. I had the same exact issue.
Wifi error, some random reboots especially after trying to turn it on.
after much testing, reading, and playing around i started getting constant reboots. You could get too the lock screen, then it would reboot.
Before jumping to conclusions about hardware go back to your stock backup.Also use RomRacers newest recovery.then start flashing kernels again and see if the problem persists.Its easy to blame everything on hardware issues but often that's not the problem.

Atrix, Wifi and Random Reboots

Hi,
I have a major issue with my WiFi and reboots.
Background: I am using an ATT phone within the UK on T-Mobile network.
Randomely, the other day, the WiFi turned off and when I turned it back on, it says Error....
I have tried everything I can think of; wiping and reinstalling rom, erasing everything in fastboot, updating the radio (further question on that) and also kernels! Finally I tried FruitCake to get back to stock, still no luck!!
Radio: Are radio's carrier specific, i.e. could I flash a radio meant for Europe to replace the ATT one? (I am on .36)
What can I do now, please. Thanks

If it helps, i accidentally formatted the PDS partition a while back and the reason for reboot is AP KERNEL PANIC
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having similar problems. Just last night my phone started rebooting frequently after having turl's v8 build of cm9 for probably a week and it was working great. However, now I have tried wiping everything, putting on different cm7 or cm9 builds and what I have come to the conclusion is anytime I turn the WiFi on, it reboots.
It is not even connecting to anything, just turning it on makes it reboot. I was on the .36 radio with this issue, I tried using the .37P radio and it did not fix it.
Does anyone have any other ideas to try and fix?
Benny,
Do you get the option to turn it on? I'm on cm9 and it'll show up like the attached after it reboots.
No. I dont have that screen. It just says wifi error and Bluetooth crashes as well....

From the other threads I have read, I think we are boned. It seems like the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth chipset is borked and the only fix other people have gotten is through an actual repair. I hope you are under warranty - I'm going to revert to stock and hope they accept it.

But, how come whenever I flash a new rom, the WiFi will work temporarily, i.e. it would connect, obtain IP etc for a few minutes then just not work until I reflash?
Surely that is not hardware?

Did you use Titanium Backup, and restore apps like Maps, Music, and YouTube? People are saying this can cause issues.
Also did you restore call logs after flashing? I experienced my wifi and mobile networking dying after doing that on only some of the new roms out there lately. It's a bug with one of the base roms, that a lot of custom roms are based off of. It was fixed with a new base rom version, but some of the custom roms have yet to officially update. Updates are under way though. Try out Morrison's 0.7 and see if you get the same result. It's been updated.
Although, you could be having a completely different issue. If you mean you can just leave it running after flashing and the wifi dies, I don't know what to say.

Tried all of the above and still nothing unfortunately. Just want to update on symptoms of the phone if that helps:
Everything eventually gets more and more buggy, even recovery is really laggy and slow
Data will stop after a few days use, and only fix that i know of is to reflash
WiFi does not work, it connects for about 30 seconds after a reflash, but then nothing.
Logcat says - Failed to Load WiFi Driver (after reporting WiFi HUNG)
The phone can crash when I plug in the MicroUSB to charge, when it restarts it says AP KERNEL PANIC.
I have tried everything except for flashing via RSD lite, do you think that could work?
Thanks
BUMP,
Any help at all with this unique situation would be very helpful.
Thanks

can't reboot my i9100

hi, my samsung galaxy s2 started making problems, if i reboot, most of the times I get a black screen which, curiosly, if I press the menu and back buttons, they light up! still, I have to reboot it several times (removing the battery does not help) untill i get a "successful" boot. I'm rooted and I am using omega v13 AOKP, based on JB 4.2.2 but this problem started some time ago, when i was using Omega v24 based on 4.1.2.
My phone is in warranty, but I woud like first to determin if it is a software or hardware thing, because if it is a hardware problem, I have to figure out a way or restoring to stock without leaving traces, so I can use it...
any ideas what the problem might be? the kernels on both versions I used were different, so it has to be something different...
thanks
Clean install of stock first. Test for a few days. Problems persist, then you send it in for warranty service. If the problems go away, then it's obviously something on the firmware you were using side. Try different custom roms/kernels in that case & see if you can reproduce the problem. If you can't reproduce it with other custom firmware, then it's an Omega problem - talk to the dev.
thanks
