I RUU'd to Jan2012 OTA update, unlocked with HTCDev.com, installed AmonRa, rooted using AmonRa and everything has been fine....for about four days. Then yesterday, after using IM+ Free for a few days and liking it, I decided to buy the Pro version. Coincidentally, my extended battery was running out and I didn't have time to charge it at work, so I powered down, removed the battery, put my charged stock battery in and voila...boot loop. No signal at unlock screen, sits for 10 seconds, and reboots. I can do a factory wipe and it will boot, but if I restore anything...data only, system only, secure only...all 3, 2 of 3...doesn't matter...issue returns. Anyone know why this might be happening?
It's because you can't post in the right section!
Have you tried wiping and flashing a Rom? Not restoring
Edit: its probably because of a bad backup or because of the ota, its been known to bootloop

My apologies for posting in the wrong section.
My concern is that it was running fine, and then suddenly wasn't when nothing but an app install (IM+) was done. I don't want to go through setting everything up again only to lost it all again four days from now.
I am having similar issues as you are. Tried to charge a 3.8v stock battery overnight and it bootlooped all night long. It seemed like it settled down after putting back in my 3.7v extended. So I called HTC and created a rma for the battery, no big deal.
Then today listening to music while the phone is in the dock i had a few reboots/bootloops, noticed some odd stuff in logcat so I did a reset permissions in recovery. Seems better so far compared to before where it would only take a few minutes to bootloop.
*mine is not the network issue, but good to hear you fixed yours

Yes, sounds similar...however, I ran my stock battery for about two weeks with no issues, and ran the extended battery for a good month with no issues, and even ran fine for a few weeks after htcdev.com unlock, AmonRA flash and rooting took place. This all came about out of the blue.
Right now, I am attempting to use the guide specified concerning connecting to the wrong type of network. I'll update when finished.

UPDATE: That worked. It was a communication issue, the phone had changed it's connection preferences. The sad part is that I've been without a phone for almost a day over this, and flashed all kinds of kernels and recoveries, and even considered going back to Verizon for a replacement. The even sadder part is that I already knew of this fix and completely forgot about it. Thanks a MILLION to MrSmith317, not only for directing me to the fix, but also for not bashing me for accidentally posting in the wrong area of the forum.

I know this is a common problem as I've seen it in other threads on other sites, but I haven't been able to find a cause/solution. My Evo 3D randomly reboots, frequently. It has happened with every firmware version since I got the phone, and with every rom/kernel I have installed. It doesn't seem to be an overheating issue. I've tried uninstalling a few apps to see if they might be the cause. Basically I'm ready to call it a hardware defect. Does anyone have any idea what causes this or how to fix it? I bought my phone unsubsidized online so it isn't easy to return, but I may have to try anyways. My 3D is useless as it is right now.
Return it.....
Sent from my EVO3D
I bought it from eBay so that's not an easy return. HTC wants me to pay to ship it to them and they want my credit card number, then if they decide it's not an issue covered by warranty then they will charge me both for looking at it and also to send it back. Basically they will hold my phone hostage if they decide they want money from me. I have filed a complaint against HTC with the Better Business Bureau over their warranty policy.
If on stock ROM, return it. Sometimes on custom roms it reboots like crazy for me when using browser.
It reboots on stock and custom roms.
Return it...
I've talked to three people at Sprint and they won't accept it as a return. They say I have to take it back to the store it was purchased at, and though I've talked to the person I bought it from, he's in another state, so Sprint says I'm SOL.

Try different Roms. My buddies had the same problem. Flashed supra and flashed silver needle kernel. Flashing a custom kernel can easily fix it. The stock kernel argues with the stock OS and the phone is tricked into thinking there is harm. Therefore reboots to try and save your phone from any damage. For sure switch the rom and kernel.

Most reboots are due to using unstable software or user error, if these aren't in question then your phone is a bad apple
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Have a look at the battery contacts. I have read of some people solving reboots by wedging in a piece of thin cardboard on the opposite end of the battery to give it more solid contact.

replace your sd card.
*EDIT.... just for the sake of being a little more informational and contributing.... a bad sd card will cause this. your phone, like a computer, can detect a bad disk and will reboot itself to check it.
i had the same problem when i first got my phone... i had my old sd card in there... random reboots. replaced the sd card, problem went away immediately.
i KNEW it was the sd card, though, as soon as i powered up the phone with the new sd card installed because on my old phone whenever i would transfer apps to sd i would get this error pretty often "failed to move application" and i would do it again and it would work.
so after i put the old one in my new 3d i would get that same error... along with the reboots, and thats how i figured it was the card.
so when i powered the phone up with the new card, i went to move my apps from the internal disk to the card and EVERY single one of them moved over the first try. and the phone has not rebooted itself once since then.
also, i heard somewhere that HTC sent some phones out with bad sd cards.... so if you are using the one that came with the phone, that could still be your issue. replace the card.
I had a horrible time with my 3vo rebooting, then got a replacement through Sprint TEP (a new one, thank goodness; ##786# tells you refurbished status) but I had the new one do the same.
Once either of mine had a single reboot, it would then continue to a complete load (booting properly) but would then reboot again after 1-5 minutes. After pulling/reconnecting the battery, it is fine for a day.
The old one had the initial reboot WAY more often than the replacement (the old one had several in a day, this one has had only one per day for the past 2 days).
How to fix: You cannot fix it. You can, however, get a good day before it begins its rebooting sequence. To so this, you have to pull the battery. I have waited until it has rebooted, then I hit shutdown and disconnect-reconnect the battery before restarting.
I hope the issue is taken care of and the initial reboot is gotten rid of.
This has happened on bare stock unrooted and rooted cleanrom 2.1 and 2.2. Also, with 2 different SD cards and 2 different batteries and 2 different 3vos. I have HTC's fastboot off.
Cause: My best guess is that HTC fastboot is not completely off even when unchecked--something differentiates what is loaded during a random reboot from what is loaded after a battery pull, but I don't know what. That, or something differentiates a shutdown and the reboot that the phone does when it reboots randomly. I could be wrong. My sample size is only 2 corrections, but it literally rebooted 12 times then stopped completely after the battery pull and the same thing happened one additional time.
I appreciate the insights you guys have given. I have pulled the battery several times and I don't believe it has done any good, though I will test that further. I am using a 32gb sd card that I purchased when I had my evo 4g and it always worked before, but I will try using the 8gb that came with the phone. The battery is snug and I even 2 two spare battery that also don't fix the problem when being used. I had a lucky 2 days without any reboots, then back to about a dozen reboots a day. So far it's happened with every rom I've tried.
I have noticed that the problem seems to get worse in areas where there is no reception. I took it into the hoover dam and it rebooted like 20 times. Also at Disneyland in different ride buildings where there's no reception it would often reboot.
Yes, marginal reception areas are usually, but not exclusively, where mine starts its reboot routine. The other is during the airvana handoff.
Neither the battery or SD card made any difference. It seems to be getting worse now. All I have to do is run an application and half the time it will reboot. I've tried wiping the system and cache and reinstalling roms. Nothing works.
I was wrong before. It is the shutdown that makes the difference. Difference got home and it began to reset itself every 5 minutes or so. I pulled tjw battery during startup and it did not break the rebooting.
After it finished reboting, I selected shutdown then poweres it back on. After it came back up, it stayed up and has been stable since.
It looks like this might be something I have to get used to. If it begins to reboot, I have to give it a clean shutdown to relieve the issue (well, for 20 hours or so, at least). Again, HTC fastboot is always off.
I'm having a problem with my touchscreen that started happening yesterday after I flashed a new ROM. I flashed Android Revolution HD 1.1.1, and on the lockscreen after the first boot is when it first started acting up. This youtube video shows exactly what my phone is doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIrmLOTiUZk
I've nand back to other roms that I've used in the past, and still the same issue. Superwiped and flashed different roms, and it would solve the problem for several hours, but the issue comes back. When the problem happens, a restart will solve the issue for maybe 15 minutes. It seems as if it's a hardware issue, but I don't get why rebooting/wiping and reflashing would solve the issue for a period of time. If anyone has any advice or the same issue with a fix, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
*Idk if it matters, but I'm hboot 1.4, zagg invisishield screen protector on.
Also, the touchscreen issue only happens at the bottom center of the screen - where the lock ring is located.
Update: I nand backed to stock rom, no issues for about 24 hours, started happening again. Any thoughts anyone??
Might be a hardware issue. If it keeps occurring I'd suggest taking it in to be looked at. Or you could try reflashing your recovery and doing a full data wipe and flash a stock rooted rom and see if that helps. Hope it does. Good luck.

Thanks, I'll try reflashing my recovery tonight. It seems to be hardware related, but the temporary fix (data wipe and flash Rom) is what confuses me. I just hope I don't have to send it in and get a refurb with hboot 1.5.
Also, when I do super wipe, should it automatically boot into recovery? It just hangs on the white HTC screen, and I have to.pull the battery to get into recovery. And after I install a Rom, why does it keep my some of my same settings, like the wallpaper and ring volume, and not go to the defaults? I am he if the super wipe is actually doing its thing or not.
Well if your doing a super wipe and it still keeps some of your old settings of a prior rom then I'd suggest trying a different wipe method or redownloading the the super wipe zip, you might have gotton a bad download. As far as if it's supposed to boot right into recovery that I don't know because I don't use any wipe method but the recovery. It hs always worked for me. Try reflashing your recovery and wiping with just the recovery options. Wipe data "complete factory" ,cache and davlik-cache. Then try flashing a stock rooted rom. Or if that doesn't work try the official ruu.

Well it keeps your wallpaper because Google syncs it with your Google account. That's normal. But as for everything else, it sounds like a hardware issue.
I'm having the same problem on my HTC Flyer and flashing a new ROM or restoring an old backup won't fix it anymore.

I flashed twrp 1.1.1 over 1.0.3 and did a data wipe, cache and dalvik. Flashed a rom and so far so good. I'll see if I can go more than 24 hrs without an issue. If it's a hardware issue, I don't understand why flashing a new rom temporarily fixes the issue, and since the issue started right after I flashed a new rom. I'll continue to update on here and hopefully the reflashing of recovery helps - thanks laie.
Didn't know wallpaper was synced with google account - thanks gumby

I'm not sure what else to do. I suppose I'm stuck with contacting HTC about a repair. I've done a little bit of research and some people having similar problems have said that it could be a problem with the digitizer. But most explanations were very vague so I'm still not sure what I'm going to do.

Phone was fine all last night and this morning. Early afternoon it started acting up a little bit. Nothing like it used to, but I notice when I set it down or shake the phone a little, it will trigger the issue. So it's more than likely hardware related. Does anyone know Sprint's policy on fixing a phone that is rooted? I am jw if I should revert back to s-on before I go to a Sprint store to have them look at it. I don't know if they check that or not. Usually the first thing they always do is make sure everything is up to date too. Any insight is appreciated, thanks.
I'm in the same boat. Touch screen freaking out, rebooting fixes it for a short time, then it does it again. I'm going to take it in to sprint today and first ask them if they care if it is rooted.

Please update us after you talk to Sprint. I am curious to what they say about you being rooted and what the problem may be. My phone has been running fine for awhile now. After I reflashed recovery, data wipe, flashed rom, it acted up for a short while about 12 hours later. It's been almost 24 hours since it last acted up and has been fine so far.
Rob, just wondering if you talked to Sprint yet?
Also, does anyone know if I should go back to 100% stock and S-on before bringing my phone into Sprint? They always seem to update everything, and if there is an update, they usually tell you that's the reason why your phone isn't working the way it should.
UPDATE:
I went back to 100% stock and S-ON following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053 Then I went into my Sprint store, told them about the issue, and the first thing they did was asked if I had reset the phone and they checked to see if there's any updates available. The phone started to act up again while they were looking it, luckily, because they have to replicate the issue before they can fix the problem. They said it was probably the screen and they were going to replace it. They had me come back an hour and half later, told me they tried replacing the screen and that wasn't it. They didn't know what was wrong, but concluded it was a bad phone. They replaced my phone with one that someone returned within their 30 days. It's not a refurb, but not a brand new one either. I had to pay $35 for the service charge for fixing my phone. I hope this helps anyone who's having the same issue.
Of course my replacement phone has hboot 1.5.
I have not been to sprint yet. I swapped batteries and it had not acted up since. Strange. I had already pulled the stock battery a bunch of times and it would be fine for a half hour or so, then flip out.
Maybe my battery was bad.

Good luck! Did you revert back to stock and s-on? Or are you going to tell them you're rooted?
I think I'm going to just put a stock ROM on it and ask them first before I hand over the phone.
So two days ago my rezound started randomly rebooting...I thought it was the new ICS rom I had just put on (the newest leak) so I desided to nandroid back to an older ICS that ran smoothly before. Same reboots... and the phone gets hot. So I figured I would just let it rest a night and took the battery out. No Joy.
Today, I RUU'd back to stock and things were running ok for a while... but as soon as I plugged it in my car... reboot after reboot.
I bought it at Best Buy as they had a better deal and better insurance. My only concern is that big ReLocked on the bootloader.
Has anyone successfully returned the phone after unlocking? Hoping doing that didn't negate that insurance. I guess I don't mind stepping on accident on it if need be.
Have you tried this fix?

No, I hadn't until now... will try tonight, but the phone will stay operational for a while... just seems to be when I charge it from the wall or car charger... charging using USB trickle charge, it doesn't reboot as much. I don't hink is has to do with the network connecting thing....as it does boot up and I can make calls... and search online, and use the navigator... until it just gets to hot.

I know this might be a long shot but since our devices don't have s-off, restoring nandroid backups don't restore the boot.img. did u try flashing the stock kernel? I'd try flashing the latest GB kernel, then flash the latest GB stock ruu? I had a similar issue and found out it was the kernel I was using. Was on anthrax kernel

Well, I RUU'd back to the OTA...renamed the .zip to PH___.zip and rebooted into fastboot and it updated everything. I then restart and everything is back to square one, like I just opened the box and activated it.
I presume the RUU flashes over the right kernel as released by Verizon.
I'm really thinking the battery is crapping out. can't hold a charge more the 42% and gets hot...then run out in like 20 minutes... throw in a couple reboots...and higher blood pressure ensues.

I don't have insurance, but I returned a relocked Rezound to VZ online for overheating a couple months ago with no problems.
99 out of 100 times, the rep will not check to see if the phone is relocked, let alone if he knows how to check it.
You're worrying over nothing. If the device is defective due to manufacterer defect, and breaks down becaue of said default. They will honor warranty/exchanges since they are the ones at fault. Now if you fragged your phone because of an oc, bad flash, wrong software, that's your own bad and you're on your own. Unless you have insurance and the phone met its untimely end under your vehicle.
Thanks for all the help... I went and bought a new battery for it, and it does the same thing. Re-locked and bringing it back to best buy today. Fired up my ole OG and flashed the newest MIUI release... the phone is still kicking!
So, two days without the rezound and I'm tweaking..... need to flash a Rom! (Maybe this will be good for me.....)
TL;DR check the last post
Has anyone else been experiencing random reboots lately? Mine seems to be intermittent, i used my phone for three hours straight two days ago and everything was fine. The damn thing just rebooted on me three times in the span of about an hour, two were within ten minutes of each other. I'm running cleanROM v1.4 with no cpu control apps, and I haven't changed anything in about 1.5-2 weeks.

I got pissed and wiped everything, then reinstalled CleanROM DE with only the apps I use frequently and everything has been fine so far, haven't had one yet. Maybe it was a buggy app or something else because during this time my extended battery said it was at 80% then after one of the reboots it said 17% and I was like wtf? After the clean install it said 66%!

Are you s-off ? if not make sure you are flashing the boot.img after installing the ROM. Or if you are on GB firmware your installing the firmware patch if installing an ics ROM.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Yea I have, it's nothing that simple sadly. At first I thought it was a buggy app so I wiped /data and only installed a few apps I use constantly, but it still happened. So I did a fresh install of the current rom I was on and didn't install any apps or restore any data, but it still did it. I just flashed another rom without restoring anything to see if it still happened and it did. I had an idea that it may be the latest radio image that caused it so I flashed to the one before the latest leak, but it still does it.
I'm currently in the process of flashing the original GB RUU to see if it still does it. If it does then I know it's definitely a hardware problem. If you couldn't already tell yes I am S-Off
So the RUU didn't fix it but it did lessen the reboots. Now when I wake the phone up while running Gingerbread the data connection will take a minute or two to connect and will drop out sometimes while the screen is on.
It rebooted on me last night. Also during the night it did a factory reset (or I did it in my sleep!) because when I woke up the phone was at the "choose your language" screen and after I left that all my downloaded apps were gone.
I also just got the OTA adr6425lvw_2.01.605.11-1.02.605.6 but it won't stick.
WTF is going on here? Do you guys think I need to do an insurance claim?

My GF's stock Rezound reboots pretty frequently too... Mine never does, even stock it didn't. After the last fiasco with VZW and sending phones back and forth she's not going to want to swap it out again :-/

Edit: In the past 8 hours I haven't had any random reboots or radio problems (yet), but the battery stats still seem to be wacky (another symptom I forgot to mention). I had the phone off because the battery was dead and I was charging it at my cousin's house. When I left I turned the phone on and in a span of about ten minutes it first reported a reading of 40%, I opened an app for a few minutes and when I looked at it again it was down to 20%, a minute later it was down to 9%. I decided to shut it off for a few minutes, took the battery out and put it back in, then after I booted up it showed 55%! I also had my extended battery with me at the time which I thought was full but when I put it in, my Rezound just went to the white HTC screen and after a battery pull it wouldn't turn back on so I figured it was dead. I just put it back in now and tried to charge it, it's actually at 94%!
I'm currently on GB Firmware, running CleanROM DE v1.4. Before yesterday (?) I have been on ICS Firmware since the initial leak of ICS IIRC.
It just started this crap again about 4 days ago, I was getting one per day on ICS. I ran the original GB RUU four times (twice, tested it out for a few minutes and noticed that data kept dropping out, then ran it again twice) and it still does it.
Before I ran the RUU I was on ConROM when it started so I flashed Nils latest work, when it started to happen again I flashed the kernel in TWRP, when that didn't work I flashed it directly via HBOOT (extracted the PH98IMG from the zip), which still didn't fix it.
I'm beginning to think that I did damage the radios during the S-Off process since I was one of the people that had been trying to run the exploit since v0.01, also during the later tries I realized that I was shorting out the wrong pins at one point After I switched to the correct pins and used v0.02 or v0.03 it works and I had S-Off.
I'm about to go back to S-On and see if it still happens.....
Just came back from Verizon and they're going to replace it for free since it's covered under the MFG warranty since the phone is only 8 months old.
I love how clueless their employees are: I told a guy that my phone was rebooting constantly and that that it keeps losing its connection to 4G (then demonstrated that it had lost it's connection even though mobile data was turned on and when I cycled it it would re-connect), he was about to mention a factory reset but I said I had done about 20 factory resets (didn't mention RUUs or anything) before he even got the words out, so he passed me off to their "tech guy".
Here's the real kicker...
I told him that the data radio keeps shutting off and it reboots constantly. His response was "the what?!" I told him 4G/the internet connection and that I've done numerous factory resets and he then said "we'll ship you a new one."
This is about the 5th time and 3rd different store where Verizon's employees have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. Half the time it isn't even tech related, I've schooled them on their own products and promotions multiple times (namely the 2 month return policy before christmas and the half-off extended battery deal [2 out of 3 employees in the same store didn't know that one])! It's pretty damn sad when a customer who reads Android blogs knows more about the promotions than an official Verizon employee....

Thanks for the helpful response! Ass... I had the original Droid for a year and the incredible for about six months, neither of which did this once. I've also had the Rezound since launch day, I could could the number of times it did this before a month ago on one hand!
Unless you have something useful to contribute STFU.

If a phone randomly reboots in your pocket, or while you're sleeping... Would you know? I had 7 origional droids, 5 bionics, a rezound, a gnex, and a galaxy tab. I have yet to own an android device that doesn't randomly reboot. I have had devices up tor 11 days without it happening, but inevitability, it happened. I think its related to ram. I never really looked into, but its just a hunch. From what I see on my rezound it is just the shell rebooting and not the device. You are just too much of a fanboy to see that due to many factors, especially fragmentation, that android is super clunky. It is also generally bugged. I am typing this on my bugged sense keyboard, from my bugged WebKit browser. What made android good was open source. It isn't like that anymore.
[Q] Please Help Me: Rooted Phone & Weirdness After Factory Reset & Failed ROM Flash
So I rooted my SGS4 a few months after getting it from VZW. I was fine with it simply being rooted for over a year and finally decided there was a few things I no longer wanted to live with. I started going down the path of flashing a ROM and after what I felt was enough research settled on the one that would work with my phone. Or so I thought. Short story is it did not and I found out later it wasn't compatible. Prior to flashing said ROM I created a backup and did a factory reset and wipe like a good little boy. Well, I think this is what caused the issues I'm now experiencing. I'll start with the few I can think or right off-hand as being the man annoyances but I reserve the right to add more later as they come up.
So, w/o further adieu, here's the issues I'm having, numbered for our convenience.
1) Whenever I boot up my phone I get the 'Android is Upgrading' after every single reboot with about 62 items 'upgrading' so it takes a while. I use my phone a lot and carry spare batteries that I change out every time it gets low so this can be several times a day and many times the wait of several minutes is quite inconvenient. As I found in a search, I tried using an app called 'Lucky AppManager' to clear the ODEX files and it reboots and I do it again a few times and it still doesn't seem to do any good.
2) for some reason all of my contacts has a little SIM card next to them that I don't recall seeing and it now won't let me edit any of them to add or remove information. This is annoying.
3) This one had been going on for a bit prior to me attempting to flash a ROM so I had hoped at minimum it would be resolved after the reset. Nope. Power down times are very slow. It used to be whenever I powered it down it took only a dozen or so seconds. Even less right when I got it. Then, one day, it took a minute or two to completely power down and has taken that long every since. Annoying.
There was something else but as I type this I'm drawing a blank. Any help that anyone can help me on any of the above would greatly help me.
Thanks!
p.s. This is a duplicate thread since I was so rudely made aware that I had posted to the wrong subforum. Sometimes this forum earns is rep. Sorry to those who genuinely care because a few bad apples ruin it for everyone.

If you're on nk1 or ng6, have you tried going back to nc5 via odin? It sounds like you need to flash the full wipe nc5 and start over from scratch.
