I was updating Apps in the market and my phone randomly shut off without warning, went into recovery mode, did some stuff (didn't get a good look at exactly what) and reset. I have never had this happen before on any Android phone of mine and thought it was odd. I went through my phone and nothing seems to have changed.
My ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
Rooted
On a side note, a lot of my apps have been crashing lately - anyone else having troubles?

If I had issues like you do I would simply do a Nandroid backup and re-flash
the rom. (cwm recovery using wipe data/factory setting) and I would not
download or install any apps from market or any other place until enough
time had passed to assure myself that I no longer had the issues I had before.
If all is good then I would know that there is nothing wrong with my phone
or the rom I flashed and had to be some 3rd party app from the market or
some other source which I installed...
There are many apps which can cause random reboots or other issues.

Lately (since yesterday) I have been having a weird problem. Every time I restart my phone, it resets. By resetting I mean my it looks like a fresh install. All my apps are still there but launcherpro has the fresh install look and GAPPS is asking me to install stuff. I have also been getting a lot of FC's with these restarts. I have tried going back to a earlier NANDROID and it seems to do the same thing...going ever further back now to see if it still does it. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

You flash anything or change anything with a2sd etc, before this started happening?
It's not doing it on an older NANDROID (from 4/22).
I flashed Drowning 7-6 ad then noticed it. But since my last restart before that, I've installed a lot of stuff. I will try it for a while on this NANDROID and see if it does it again after updating my apps, too many changes to rebuild from here...
Basically what happened was I flashed the Kernel (7-6) and restarted, things were fine...but then (per Drownings advice) I restarted again, and then all hell broke loose. I recovered my last NANDROID but experienced the same thing with just a restart, so now I am on an earlier NANDROID and tried a restart and all went well..Like I said I will try to update my apps when I get home (damn ATT data caps) and see what happens then...
OK...several restarts after installing updates, and everything seems normal it's definitely got something to do with either drowning 7-5 or 7-6, or n75 and/or n76.
Right now with the NANDROID I am running n42 with drowning 7 with aufs enabled (as was with the newer ROMS)
I also run DT A2SD with apps and dalvic on SD.
I will try to upgrade to n76 and drowning 7-7 in a few and see how that works out...
n76 and Drowning 7-7 has been good so far...I think the problem is solved...there was definitely something wrong with my setup that was common to the later NANDROID...thank god I saved some NANDROIDS
Wasn't there some kind of known issue with 7.6? I don't remember the details, but I seem to recall that there was some reason why I didn't flash it at the time (aside from general laziness).
Did a fresh install of n76 with S2E and Drowning 7-7, all is running smooth again and I have restarted a dozen times with no issue. After flashing over top of ROM's for the last few months there was probably some trash getting in the way, so I decided to clean house.
I have no way of getting my phone to successfully download apps from the android marketplace. I went from bamf 1.6.3 to the unsigned mr1 stock rom, back to bamf and back to mr1 and nothing works for my phone.
I was thinking of reverting to stock and using my insurance to get a new thunderbolt to start new. Every time i tried to fix the problem i am having i would do a full wipe on my phone through cwr and install my rom then at startup i would link my google and or htcsense account but my phone will not allow me to download anything from the market.
Would verizon be able to tell that i rooted my phone if reverted back to stock, unrooted and claimed insurance?
Don't know if this will help, but have you gone to Applications->Manage->All and find Market & MarketUpdater, Force close them and delete data?
Did you also try using Market Doctor in Titanium Backup to see if that helps?

when you are installing your rom do you Wipe Data/ Wipe Cache/ wipe Dalvik (under advance tab)? To me it does not sound like a hardware issue. Also try airplane mode and use wifi to get to market and see if it would let you download something.

To answer this question: if you revert back to non-root, S-ON using a signed ROM and Radio, then no, they will never know.
Ok i did try the tips from nero, didn't work. Don't know what is causing this but monday i am going to stock and s-on and trade it in.
Ok to anyone that has ever had the problem where you couldn't download android market apps, i fixed my problem. I have no idea how i exactly fixed it but i will tell you everything i did before it worked right again. I formatted my sd card, system, data, cache in clockworkmod recovery. I then i installed my rom (bamf remix 1.6.3). I used titanium backups market doctor (it told me no links were found). I synced my google account, htc account and in my privacy settings i checked backup and restore. I synced my phone and let it finish before doings anything. I used my application settings to force close market app and updater then cleared data. Lastly i used super one click and re rooted my phone and then enabled non market apps.
What ever i did i fixed my problem, will link this to bamf remix thread and thank everyone that put up with and helped me
I had this same problem, and thought that I was screwed, but what solved it for me was a battery pull. I got so pissed trying everything that I could, I just pulled the battery and went to sleep.
When I got up, it was syncing just fine.
There are quite a few threads on this subject since I have lurked these forums. Wonder where the problem is.

I had a similar problem a while back and it drove me nuts and I finally figured out why. It was because I have changed some settings in my google account that required a credit card and I never supplied the info. For me it was google adsense for my blog, which I ended up getting rid of, but once I finished the setup of that section of my account I was downloading from the market again.
PLEASE HELP!!
I installed the Alpha-X ICS ROM for Evo 3D. The problem that I'm facing is that it keeps re-booting to "No Service" state.
I've already tried toggling the "Airplane" mode method - the moment I turn Airplane mode off, the status bar shows that I'm connected to Sprint but within a second starts rebooting (showing the ICS start up screen animation) and goes in a loop for 5-6 times and then ends up back with "No Service" state.
Please help as I really like this ROM. I am a newbie here, hence XDA doesn't allow me to post directly to the Alpha-X thread.

Hello,
How did you flash this ROM? Are you on HBoot 1.5?
If so, you will need to re-flash this ROM using Fastboot (PM Me if you cant find the instructions)
Yes, I'm on HBoot 1.5 and flashed it using Flash GUI.
I was earlier using ClearROM.
Update: I guess, i realized the problem - during the first time I had flashed this ROM, I had cleared all data & cache 9basically factory reset). It had worked fine.
Once in, I used Titanium backup to restore all my app data (including system data)... I guess that system data is causing this issue. I re-did the entire process (factory reset & flash) and now it's working fine.
I'll go ahead and try restoring only user app this time and update back.
This just proves my "Noob"ness, I guess

I just wrote a post about this lol. Yes, it is only the system spp/data that will cause the issues. You shouldn't have problems restoring all of your user apps and data. I am running ALPHA X with all of my apps and data restored through TB with zero problems.

LOL....restoring system data can cause all sorts of hell for you as Bamba1260's already pointed out and you've already figured out the hard way, and there's nothing wrong with being a "noob" either, but keep in mind if you're looking for a stable and fully functioning phone or prone to freaking out when something goes wrong.....this is after all an ALPHA (experimental / for testing and bug reporting purposes only) rom. Indeed it is a very good alpha state rom, but things are likely to and should be expected to go wrong with it periodically.

Yeah.. that's one more thing I did realize.. but was so enamored by the ICS ROM that I wanted to "taste" it one way or other..
Anyway, since I'm not done with my first 10 posts, I will have to post this bug(?) here for everybody's FYI that the GPS doesn't seem to work with this ROM.
So, know before you jump...
P.S. I still love this ROM - one of the smoothest that I've tried.
im on stock dxlp7 via kies. last time it was working was when i switch on the wifi and got stuck (known issue). because i can't wait, i rebooted it by holding the power button and use feature there.
during boot-up, i saw the upgrading OS as if it was a new upgrade to 4.0.3. then there all apps started to force close. only few apps work and mostly are those that come preinstalled.
im doing backup as of this writing and saw one thread that wiping the cache fixes it. i hope wiping the cache really fixes this. created thread because the other was was on 2.3.x. this one is on ICS.
what went wrong with my phone? is this a known issue? i can't find that much info on this.
Do a factory reset.
i first tried to wipe the cache. didn't work.
i did factory reset so far its working fine. no other apps yet except preinstalled.
what went wrong there?
Honestly, that's really hard to say. Something has obviously corrupted some system apps/files by the sound of what you're describing.
Important thing is you seem to have fixed it. See how you go as you start reinstalling your apps.

so far nothing weird happening. installing the apps is ok. configuring one by one sucks.
My pocket felt hot, so I pulled out my phone and saw that it kept rebooting itself. It just shows the initial Samsung splash for maybe a second or two, then loops again. I can get into Recovery and Download modes fine. I tried wiping the cache, factory reset, restoring a cwm backup. No luck so far. I've been using the CM9 rom for months. I haven't flashed or changed anything in months, I haven't even installed new apps in a while. Before this happened, it said I had no signal, so I had to restore my EFS(which I've had to do several times since I got the phone, mostly when I was switching back and forth from CM9 and stock to see which I prefer). After going into and out of airplane mode to reset the antenna, the signal and all worked fine. I let the phone cool down to make sure it wasn't just rebooting due to heat, but that didn't change anything. I've been searching here and google for anyone else with an identical issue, but I've failed so far. Everyone else seems to get to the home screen or just having random reboots during use.
Just to clarify, my question is: How can I fix my phone? Is there any other information I can give that would help?
I have the international i9300. I also tried removing the SD card and SIM card, since one thread concerning a different kind of rebooting issue reported success with that. Nope.
Try to reflash a stock rom on Odin
Is that different from restoring the original rom with CWM? I did that already. I don't have or know how to use Odin, but I'll download it and figure it out if that's the next step.
Solution?
Ok, I never didn't have to figure out Odin. I fixed it by wiping dalvik, factory resetting, restoring the stock rom, wiping it all again, rebooting into stock(it worked), then restoring back to the backup I made after the crash. Some of these steps might not be crucial, but at worst you waste a few minutes to make sure it works right again. Hopefully it'll help others with similar problems.
