There's another thread about rebooting, but that seems to be about a hardware issue and I don't think this is.
I got a new T-Mobile UK Atrix last week, followed the guides to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM and kernel. I've tried several combinations, but they all result in me getting 3-4 random reboots throughout the day.
I've tried with Alien 4 and HomeBase 2.2, and with Faux's 0.19 and 0.20 kernels, both overclocked and at stock speeds. Even with the stock kernel, it still happens.
I've gone back to stock Froyo 2.2.1 using the Fruitcake method, and I'm no longer experiencing any problems.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there some procedure for flashing a ROM that I'm getting wrong? What I normally do for a ROM is to wipe data and cache, then flash. For a kernel I would just wipe the cache.
If anyone else has a UK Atrix can they walk me through their procedure to get a stable Gingerbread?
There are not just one but several other threads about this, some as old as the Atrix forums. Afaik none of them offer a simple solution, because there is not one. I dont think anybody will be able to tell you, "do this and it will solve your prob". This is what will happen: you get a few "me too" posts, a few speculation posts with no real helpful information, and a few "I dont have this prob on X rom" posts, also with no helpful info. That being said, i havent had a random reboot on Alien4. Also, here is search results.

Lets see if anyone can help....a lot of this talk of rooting and flashing is over my head...My atrix is running 2.3.4. It was like this when I got it. The wifi won't turn on at all. It only shows error. Is there anyway that I can put it back to 2.2? Or is there anyway to fix the error. Someone told me the kernels may be different??? Is putting a different ROM on the phone very difficult?
Where did you get it from?
yes it may be over your head a little but no means to stop reading up on it and remember to search before your post - there is another thread of this that was recently posted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180494&highlight=wifi+error
none the less. we would need more details. what rom you are using, what version of the device you have (US or Intl) key would be going through the thread you got it from. but more than likely the cause is you flashed a kernel/rom that doesn't work with your device it will be an easy fix once the details are given.
I had this issue too... I tried a few different methods to remedy it but the only one that worked was flashing a new ROM.
okay it is a US Version...4.5.91
kernel version....2.6.32.9 ( then below that is says [email protected] #11)
ok so you used an at&t rom on an at&t device? and i assume u kept the same kernel.
No...the phone came like this...I didn't do any of the updates or anything.
I had the same issue after I restored once. Could not fix it...had to reflash a ROM and the problem was fixed.

okay so is reflashing the ROM difficult? Is there any thread on here or somewhere else that I can read up on that would be of help doing this. I don't wanna brick this phone but I need the wifi or my data plan is screwed...
I hate to revive this thread but I have a wifi error I can't resolve. I first got it on 1.8.3 and flashed to 2.3.4 and it was gone. Then when I tried to install the new adroidmarket.apk, I got the wifi error and it won't go away no matter how many roms I try to or how many times reflash 2.3.4.
Essentially, wifi says there's an error and any time it tries to turn on, it reboots the phone. I've tried Alien, and Ninja and neither of them worked. I haven't tried piCrust yet.
Details of my problem are here: http://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/issues/detail?id=115&can=1&start=100
Samcripp asked me to open an issue, but it was later closed as its not related to CM7.
Basically after updating to 0.19 Faux kernel and OCing, my bluetooth does not work (does not turn on) and my wifi says "error" and reboots if I try to turn it on. Logcats are attached in the link above.
Before this, I also tried the 1.35 Radio but I'm pretty sure it worked after flashing back to 1.77.30P.
I've tried everything from erasing via fastboot and clean installing stock 2.3.4, alien and CM7 -still nada. Tried restoring pds partition, nada. Tried different radios, nada. Only thing I didn't try was to SBF to stock. Can someone point me in the right direction to a SAFE SBF that I can used on an unlocked ATT Atrix?
Here is the dmesg: http://db.tt/92GSbZ4
Says something about buffer overflow, vdd.
Any help?

I got it to work momentarily but then phone froze and went back to error. I had followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077329 and then did a dalvik cache wipe.
What could this be? Hardware?
Think its definitley a hardware issue. I can get the bluetooth/wifi to work by taking out the battery and tapping on the back of the phone..but then it dies later.
Next question: Any way to get "Unlocked" from showing on the bootscreen?
Had a similar issue
I once had a similar issue with my wifi after installing the same kernel. Consider restoring the stock kernel before you consider your phone broken. When you change kernels, since the kernel is central often, hardware is messed upOA component,
Have tried stock kernel, 1.83 kernel, faux kernel and kholk's kernel..all the same. Wiped cache/dalvik cache after all.
Getting replacement device from ATT. Just trying to figure out if I should send back with "Unlocked" text or not.
Theres got to be a solution, somewhere ... I can't get it replaced.
Someone...
was there a solution to this i am having the exact same problem
ive been running jokersax cm9 shortly after flashing 0.33 i noticed i no longer was hooked up to wifi. After looking into it i noticed bluetooth is also a no go.
it never gets past "turning wifi on" i have since done a complete format/factory reset, flash .33 and .4, went back to Cm7 still no change i have also flashed multiple kernels.
Last try was flashing radio N_01.77.37p still no luck
Having the same problem. Wonder if we can buy just the system board of this phone

Yes, Wifi/Bluetooth is a hardware issue! My phone just died of this same fate. If you want to take advantage of your warranty, then flash the 2.3.6 SBF after wiping all user data. BE CAUTIOUS. And can we make a big sticky for this problem? There are literally dozens of threads about this
I bought device in Europe with German Vodafone 2.3.4/4.5.2A rom.
I get reboots with all roms i tried as well as all custom kernels i tried while these all stuff work on other peoples devices with no issues whatsoever..
Before flashing rom i wipe device with moto-fastboot and cwm like anyone else who is familiarized with the procedure.
I follow all instructions and all but somehow i end up with issues not many people have.
What the hell doing wrong if anything at all?
well this is the wrong section to post in, but have you tried factory resetting from the phone?
Wrong section. It might be that your CPU is getting very hot, so it keeps rebooting.
Tried factory reset off course but i don't have any single issue with stock software. Just with custom ROM's and kernels i want to play with.
Also, I haven't noticed it gets hot that much.
how come it doesn't get hot and reboot that much to other people?
What problems beside the reboots?

@schwarzlichtkind, something like widgets missing after reboots, display staying turned on (when talking) when it needs to turn off.. annoying stuff like that..
Which CWM are you using?

when you install a rom do u wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing the rom?
then do you fix permissions after flashing?
i recommend you do this when you flash a NEW rom, if you are installing an update just wipe cache and dalvik before flashing, then fix permissions after.
latest romracers..i always tend to run latest software, hence the topic
I'm having a similar issue since I got my phone back from repair, no matter what I do faux's kernel 0.2.2 and 0.2.3 cause random reboots and the phone not turning on and heating up. So far 0.2.1 hasn't caused me any problems, hopefully 0.2.1 fixes this and 0.2.4 (in the future) doesn't give problems.
First of all, please post question on the Q&A forum, not on the Android Development one.
Second, please organize your things before asking, and ask a serious question to get a useful answer. Based on your question, 90% of the answers will be guesses.
I reccomend you pick a ROM you like, try it without any custom kernels for a while and see if you get the same reboots. If so, then post a question on the appropriate ROM's discussion thread, don't create a new one just because.
Edit: Post reported btw

Are you sure you fully wiped? data cache and dalvik? if you did you can try using rom manger and official CWM
everytime a flash a rom i use this tool without fail. option 10. then i do the appropriate wipe in recovery. have never had a bad flash. i am anal like that. : )

I have problems with faux's latest kernels also. Just stick to the stock cm7/blur/MIUI kernels and you should be fine.

try under volting using setcpu. i too had this random reboot issue. but did an undervolt of 100mV (for 1.45GHz). i use faux's 1.45ghz kernel v2.3
have fun!
a possible radio issue i think...
Which radio works better? I have N_01.100.00R
I have flashed over 10 roms each time I do a NUKE and wipe all caches and data. I have installed roms as per instructions. But for the life of me I can not find one that will go an hour without rebooting or freezing. I have tried many different kernels as well.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Do your phones reboot all the time?
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there something wrong with just my phone?
Is this normal?
Someone advise a stable version. I just don't get it......
Maybe a battery issue.
I really don't understand it. It reboots when I'm sending a text or searching internet or swiping screens. It doesn't matter what i am doing at the time.
The most stable one I have found to work the longest without reboot is Omega Milestones with 7.13 dormaix kernel. Thats it. But I still have problem.
Please help
It could be the battery dying on you.
If it's not the battery then we could be talking hardware.

Have you tried going back to an official stock firmware?

Okay, so I am a looooong time XDA consumer who rarely posts. Its probably because I can normally find answers just by reading others posts.
Im stumped on a couple of issues with my SGH-i717. First off, I use it with a prepaid Tmobile SIM. I cant figure out how to prevent data from breaking when Im making a call. Currently on the latest Evervolv, which I love, with either UCMB4 or UCMD3. Ive read so many threads about network configurations but I can seem to figure it out. Maybe someone could shed some light or point me in the right direction.
Secondly, I haven't been able to successfully run the Uber Kernel. Ive tried with Revolt and Evervolv. with both roms, once they boot up after the kernel flash, the screen is filled with weird orange and green colors, and its rendered unusable. I in fact just read towards the end of the Uber Kernel thread, around pages 36-38, about a couple of people having the same issue. The developer, JaimeD31, says that the kernel works fine for Evervolv. Im attempting to use the nov 9 version for 4.3.x. can anyone confirm exactly which version will indeed work with the latest Evervolv.
Thanks

I had the same exact problems with Evervolv. I'm on T-mobile network using UCMD3 also. This is how I fixed my problem. Get Jamie's Uber Kernel (the final version for 4.3.x) from http://blownco.com/index.php/cat_view/8-jamied81/135-uber-kernel.
Reboot into recovery. Wipe cache. Wipe dalvik cache. Go to advanced/Mount and wipe system. Flash Evervolv. Flash Evervolv again. Flash 4.3.x GAPPS. Flash Uber Kernel ^^. Wipe cache and dalvik cache again.
