<testing J's CM7> [Q] Constant rebooting; was annoying, now critical - X10 unusable
So I had an occasional spontaneous reboot problem which was annoying and inconvenient, but not crippling. Then I thought I'd fix it by upgrading my ROM.
Turns out I have no idea how to get xrecovery going (tried install through flashtool, through apk, etc., but no matter how many times I press "back" during the boot sequence, the SE logo always shows up to ruin my day) and that ruled out any newer, better ROMs.
So I used SEUS to "upgrade" back to 2.1.A.0.435 - still shaky.
This morning I tried the tweaks listed in the guide to flashtool (clean, optimize, etc.) and deleted every app that I don't think I need, but since I went to work, the battery has run out due to constant booting.
Sometimes I can check my SMS, and sometimes the screen turns on only to go dark for another reboot.
What can I do??
--EDIT--
So I got into xrecovery, now I must find a suitable ROM and cross my fingers...
--update--
11PM EST Mar 8: J's CM7 RC1 is running well so far, but I'll update after hours and days have passed.
10AM EST Mar 9: It has been running smoothly (and is a nice upgrade), but I've seen one spontaneous reboot
However, one is a lot better than every 5 minutes!!!
9:30AM EST Mar 15: I get a shutdown a few times a week, but I'm worlds better than before. GB is sweeet!!! Gonna wait for release 10 to upgrade.
Thanks J!!!!!
(and all those, such as Z, who made this ROM possible)
If I'm not the only one who failed to get xrecovery right, reply and I'll try to help!
Yea i've been having the same issue too, i found that it would reboot almost every 5 minutes when using the phone when i plug it in. especially when streaming youtube videos.
I tried multiple roms and also went back to stock rom by doing a repair. I was playing around with the fresh repair install and it is still rebooting.
Hopefully you have better luck with your device. I'm taking mine to rogers soon for a replacement.
I could find no pattern to my reboots. Sometimes I could use the thing for a while, and other times I'd hardly even see the screen before it quit.
I'm hoping FW is the answer because I got it used, so there is no hope of repair if flashing doesn't fix it...
I'm experiencing this reboot from J's latest CM7 rom with the custom kernel. Every 3 mins or so and the screen turn dark, no idea what to do.

I got it by installing the older vers of miniloader from the custom kernel dev thread but thanks! I'm doing a fresh install again with the instructions from the thread you linked.
I've had ENOUGH!Now I can't even charge it.It turns off after 5 minutes of recharging and then the battery discharges because of the constant reboots.So I've decided to try and start flashing and stuff(install custom roms).
Dfan can you please give me a few advices,pointings , etc... for what am I about to do?
Thank you for your time.
@OP, from what I have understood from your post, your phone has a fault before you have 'updated' using SEUS.
Try the 'repair' function in SEUS to restore everything into factory settings?
dude, stop using j's ROM till he fixes it. I recommend Trip's GB MiUI. make sure your phone is fully charges when installing a new ROM, or else you'll get boot loops, and FC's. once you have your xrecovery installed(I recommend manually install it) you should never have to reinstall it, unless you use SEUS.

My archos 101 is restaring by it self all the time, it wont start normaly it restarts. I use uruk droid!!!
Please help me what to do!!!!
Thanks
What did u do before it started bootlooping ?
(for the next guru to come and help u)
And is it just bootlooping now or even when restarting after shutting it down (10sec power button)
when i press power for 10 sec., boots normal then after half or 1 hour it restarts again and when come to start screen it restarts again it say something about system cant load, and it say force close or wait. i hit wait or force close nevermind it restarts the same way
I think that an app is crashing the system. Try to uninstall the last installed ones.
If you are on uruk 1.1RC1, then it is an ongoing issue, $auron is looking for the cause and fix. The fadtest solution now is backup ur apps and settings using titanium backup and flash uruk 1.0 or 1.1b3 .

Hello everyone,
Please help me solving this problem:
My X10i always stuck in boot loop whenever connect to 3G.
I've tried different SIM, ROMs and Google it but still no solution
Thank you!
Still no help?
Waiting...
I have a similar problem with my phone.
Regardless of the rom I'm using, my phone will go into a boot loop. Anywhere from 3 to 10 times before booting fully.
It doesn't seem to be any particular app or action and I don't use a task killer. Sometimes connecting to 3g will crash my phone and boot loop; other times it's attempting to delete an app or replying to a text message. Any sort of daily use can cause my phone to crash into a boot loop, which is usually remedied by taking my battery out, waiting, and putting it back in again. I'm fairly certain it's not an over heating issue because the battery and phone don't feel hot to the touch.
There seems to be no way to know when it will crash, however, it is more likely to do so if it's charging or I have my headphones in.
I've had this problem while using WB 2.2 rom, WB 2.3 rom (all versions) and EWjet 2.3 rom. I've Formatted everything I can, including the SD card.
I'm currently on a fresh install of WB 2.3 v3 and still getting the boot loop issue. This only started happening a month or so ago, so I'm beginning to think that this is a hardware issue and I may need to get my phone replaced.
Other information, I'm on Rogers and have owned my x10 for a little over 1 year, BaseBand 2.1.71, Kernel 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537, Build Number 3.0.1.G.75
hi all
i use sgs2 rom v6 and it always been force restarting now and then ...it happens usually when i resart my phone which takes forever ..it took me about 5 minutes for the whole phone to cool down and sometimes after 5minutes it still lags / hangs ( restarts it self ) just recently i got a chain of force restarts! about 5 times in a row ! i got so pissed off i thought of reflashing the rom ..i make a backup and decided to give it another go ..finally it did not restart ..so is this normal ?
I was using nims MIUI GB RC2 before no problem no nothing.. After few days i tried CM9 beta 8... It was nice and smooth.. But i wanted to revert back to MIUI GB RC2 so i flashed again doing all wipe.. Now the problem started while applying a lockscreen(Yes it worked earlier) after applying the phone stuck. So i left it and went to cabin to my work.. Just saw the phone it was stuck at bootscreen.. Waited more than five min.. So removed the battery and tried no luck.. So reflashed the ROM.. Now one more problem "SOFT REBOOTS".. I installed play music if i keep some song to repeat for long time, and phone is locked it waits till the song gets over as soon as it gets over the phone gets back to boot screen surprisingly EDGE converts to 3G!!! Its doesnt ask for PIN also(So its a soft reboot)... ny solutions for this isssue? I have one doubt did i needed to do a format/system after cm9??
Thanks in advance,,
