I think You can miss launcher app. Try to find flashable launcher apk

<testing J's CM7> [Q] Constant rebooting; was annoying, now critical - X10 unusable

<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.

[Q] Gintonic 2.1 & Zombie kernel 1.6 still reboots

Hi all,
I can't post on development, just wanted to thanks slide for Gintonic 2.1 & new kernel performance is up, yet i still experience random reboots on my X10 mini pro.
what I did: SEupdate, format SDcard, then root & xrecovery, then reset/wipe and install rom & kernel, so I'm sure it's clean install.
But I'm still experiencing reboots ...
Regards,
Benoit

I have same problem in zombie panic kernel v 1.59 and v 1.61.
after i update to v 1.62, i don't had problem reboots. and everything it's ok.
Problem occurs usually when:
I use the phone for 10/15 minutes, that is running music or radio, or using the phone, like surfing and installing app from market.
I'll try the new 1.63 ...

Hi, No reboots for me 4 days into 1.63+2.1, I did similar process only difference is I use clockworkmod, someone else will have to confirm but I remember a while back all the roms where coming out with "no longer supporting xrecovery". As said dont know might be nothing but everyone seems to use clockworkmod now for flashing.
Sorry assuming you used xrecovery to flash rom since you mention installing it.
Well strangely, the update to 1.63 did it, no more reboot and I can even OC the phone ! It works great no reboot, even with wavy usage of GPS navigation with CoPilot live over the week end ! this is perfect !
I only have an issue with the radio FM app which is buggy : sound start on the hp instead of head phone, favorite station are not kept, frequencies are written in green on black which is not visible and RDS name is overlapping frequencies ...
Another issue, I'm still not able to fine tune auto brightness to have good reactivity when phone get out of standb by on shiny day it take 1/ 1.5 second for the screen to detect it need to boost lightness ... Same when I'm in a call and I want to use the keyboard to dial, it takes 1/1.5 second for the phone to adjust brightness... I've tried several tutorial from forum but it still have this small lag in brightness reactivity.
Other the phone is now perfect to me in 2.3.5 ! Thanks very much slade87 ! One note I don't like the boot animation some less shiny would have been welcome ...
Cool you got it all working, yes there where instabilities with cross ROM/kernels.
I like the new bootanimation but you can allways change it out if you dont..
(update 7/7/11)[Boot Animation]more bootanim

seems like rebooting back.
sometimes when i make the screen timeout for 30minutes, it will also turn off by itself and restart back by itself. sometimes it goes off and no reboot back.
i have search on XDA and found that few problems like mine.
i try few solution like take out the battery, uninstall apps which maybe make my phone turn off.

Does it make any difference if you start the phone with the charger plugged into it?
...or even without the SIM card or SD card? Any difference at all?

I bought the phone over from bobo. And yes it does make a difference.
This problem does not occur whenever the phone is plugged in. However while running on battery, if I leave it be and once it goes into standby, it would not turn on again.
Seems to me it went into sleep of death.
At the moment, I have no idea how to fix it. But I've found a workaround by keeping the CPU on when the display is off by using wake_lock. However this workaround is a little battery consuming.

bro i have this problem before, what im doing before was playing music on mute for it not to turn off NOT until 0.62 FW came out and the problem was solved, it doesnt turn off on stock 0.62 fw and stock 2.3.4 but the screen when locked automatically turns on and off multiple times, its annoying..really so i decided to unlock my bootloader, flashed rooted 0.62 FW from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161, turning on and off phone and screen solved, flashed its respective ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373435, and now my phone is so stable and having no more problem.
i think the only problem i noticed just now is the back button (its not really a button) and the option button's light is turning off and on while screen is on. but thats better than your phone turns on and off or your screen.
i hope this helps.

I've done this too. Flashed the same kernel, and the same ROM as you did. But the problem still prevails in my phone. I still have to keep control of wake_lock to prevent CPU from sleeping while the display is off.
Btw, when I flashed the kernel, under my "About" in the settings, it still says .58 instead of .62.

you mean in the Settings>About Phone> in the build number it should have HYBROM V9 by boof not the kernel name like .58 or .62 if you flashed the kernel and rom correctly.
disable lockscreen
Try to disable your lockscreen in the settings menu. Maybe that helps
My phone have the very same problem.
Any good new?
I've tried the factory restore. Didn't solve the problem.
so....no solutions yet!!??!

[Q] Touchscreen not working.

The touchscreen on my phone with MiniCM7Pro V21 stopped working. Everything else is working (buttons), except the touchscreen. It shows everything but I can't do nothing with my finger.. I've had this problem before, but then it could be fixed by simply taking out the battery and rebooting that way. This time that didn't work. First thing that I tried was factory resetting the phone, clearing all caches, etc. Touchscreen still not working after booting. Then I flashed SonyStyle V1.1 touchscreen still not working. Then I 'repaired' it with SEUS, touchscreen was working fine. Rooted the phone, installed CWM. Touchscreen still working. Installed SonyStyle V1.1, touchscreen stopped working, but again, I could see the home screen, open the menu with the hardware button, change volume, lock the phone, open up camera, app drawer, type something in search. Just the touchscreen won't work.
Any ideas? Please, I can't live with the stock rom..
I'm also facing the exact same problem buddy....
Haven't found a solution to this yet...
Hope so somebody would come up with a solution soon
Till then we are stuck with the stock rom ...
I hate that blue theme, cant live with it for long...
still waiting for a solution
Use SE Update Service(SEUS) an flash Stock ROM... happened to me b4...after flashing stock rom everything is fine...

I had the same problem when I used X10S, unwanted reboots as WLOD (White Light Of Death). Typically, this occurs when you change the CPU frequency or an process/app is malfunctioning. I had that problem when I tried to open a large app - especially Settings.
Anyway, here's the solution: after flashing the ROM - flash over the latest Ferakernel (V3.6) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34222065&postcount=5378 After that, don't forget to install the libs and modules provided before rebooting... and clear cache and dalvik cache.
I hope this helps you. For me - it did the trick. :cyclops:
it's working! thank you
