Random Reboots - HTC EVO 3D

I am having random reboots. Evo 3D CDMA s-off hboot 1.4 . On all roms I go to. Cannot be fixed by just changing the battery. Can anyone please help

I've had "random" reboots, CDMA S-ON hboot 1.5. They only happen if the screen is turned off when it is not charging. If it is charging, no reboots. If it is not charging, the screen must stay on or it will reboot. Besides the rebooting it functions very well. These reboots happened before and after I
rooted. I tried Mean ROM, it still rebooted. Went back to stock and OTA to ICS, and it still rebooted.
I don't know if this is related to your reboots, but I would appreciate assistance with my reboots too.

I experienced some random reboots on my old htc hd.i had to use to warranty to repair it.

So no other helpful posts???

I had the same issue with reboots. I flashed the turn up to date 2.17 firmware bits. Now I'm on the newest firmware bits by freeza. Works great.

Can anyone link me to the freeza firmware? Everybody seems to say it helps them.

I'm totally stock. Updated to ICS OTA and got non stop reboots and freezing. Took the sd card out and phone runs flawlessly. Reformatted and reloaded all backed up folders to sd card and random reboots started again. For me, something on my sd card isn't playing nice with ICS. I'll have to re install my apps slowly to see what's causing it.

I think that this is a software problem. I had random reboots when the phone (GSM version) was running the original firmware (Gingerbread 2.3.4) and with some early unofficial ICS ROMs. After upgrading to KingCobra 1.2 and later the problem disappeared.

So no fix..?... I'm on CDMA and have confirmed it is a software issue.

this happened to me all the time with the 1.06 radio. Never happened when I went back to .97. So far seems ok on the new 1.09

I think that if you upgrade your phone, as I did, the problem will go away.
After the original firmware I used only ICS custom ROMS. If you want to go custom, please choose one good ROM like CoolICS for CDMA

and flash it on your phone (follow the instructions carefully to avoid problems).

Evo 3D Shutting down or random reboot

hi im having strange issues, i though was the rom i was using, but i change from rom and my issue persist, when i leave iddle my phone, suddenly or reboots or shutdown :S i guess this its since i update radio to latest, anyone have this issue? i want update all firmware but i read from some, the cellphones are bricked.
im using in mexico.
any help? thanks a lot
Im having this same issues and its getting really annoying . I had a htc screen loop problem so i re locked the phone and ruu'd back to stock of the latest update (or rather flashed the PGIMG86 file or whatever) and the phone literally now reboots its self whenever it feels like , most noticeable if i leave it alone for a little while or press the power button to turn the display off. I re rooted and am now on freshrom and its still doing it occasionally. I think it might have been doing it before i ever did that relock though, too. Is this a problem with the new firmware? Is there anyway to downgrade , like an odin type of application?
this sounds like a kernel issue. the first guy (OP) i assume you are on GSM being out of the united states... i'm not sure i can provide you a whole lot of help there because i am not familiar with the GSM version of the EVO 3D. however, random rebooting can usually be attributed to a few general things, so either of you can trouble shoot and start here....
bad download of boot.img (files were corrupted somewhere)
-you should try flashing another kernel/ROM combo where users are NOT reporting
any issues whatsoever. also, try re-downloading your existing .zip just to make
sure the one you are using is not corrupted.
remove your micro SD card...
-most people don't think of this, but a bad SD card can cause random reboots. it is
a disk, and if your device is getting errors or something when trying to read it, it
will reboot to check the disk. start by moving apps OFF the SD card, then removing
the SD card entirely. if the reboots go away, that was your issue, and time for a
new SD card. i had this same issue when i first got my Evo, thought it was the
phone, turned out it was a bad card.
that's a good place to start. come back with questions/results.
i just deleted everything off of the sd card and it happened again afterwards. also it was happening before re - locking of the bootloader , and across several roms and kernels. totally lost. i also had it happen earlier today with no sd card in the phone , too. It was even happening on complete stock.
was it happening when you first got the phone? if so, time to take it to sprint

its a replacement from asurion , im all out of insurance claims with them , lol . it was my gf's and she wanted a shift so she purchased one off of craigslist and gave me the 3d because my sgs2 has a damaged usb port. as soon as she got it in the mail she imeediatley gave it to me and i rooted it right away , lol , so im really not sure. id like to return it to factory stock before the ota update ,as i have a strange feeling it has something to do with it . i had it for a couple hours completley stock no nothing , then took the ota update and proceeded to root. i dont recall a reboot before that.

exact same situation as me man , it mostly happens when i let the phone go idle , although it just happened when i was trying to edit the bookmarks widget on my home screen , and it seems to have happened after i updated the radio except i didnt flash i took the ota update.....for me its every rom , rooted or unrooted too
Ok happens again with different ROM, so I guess it's the radio, bit the weird thing is turn off the phone, no just reboot
So anyone knows how to revert to .9 radio? Or any solution? Thanks

If you guys are both cdma and hboot 1.5 already.. Why don't you wipe everything in recovery just not your SD cards...
Hboot 1.5 S-ON
Then relock your phone run the RUU 2.17 exe and let it do it's thing then update your profile and so on.
Then just unlock your phone again with the unlock code should fix you guys up....
How are you guys flashing also? What recovery do you use?
I was having the same issues. Random reboots and random shut downs. Really getting frustrating. So I figured I would unroot my phone and take it into Sprint. I followed scrosler's guide to unroot but I used the latest PG86IMG.zip from Mr. Esp's thread. Of course this brought me up to hboot 1.5 but the random restarts and shut downs have stopped.

I did everything you suggested here , down to a tee . I re locked the phone , except for i used the PG86IMG.zip file for 2.17 and loaded it in the bootloader to go back to stock after re locking. I let it sit for a day and then got bored and unlocked and rooted again and am on FreshRom. My original recovery was clockwork but now im on TW , hoping that itd help. Guess im gonna have to re-lock again and RUU back to an older base instead of 2.17. I waanna see if that fixes this problem.

Flash sense 3.6 w/o custom firmware or fix bootloops!!!!

Hey guys! Many people believe you must flash the new firmware to run Sense 3.6 Virgin Mobile leak based ROMS. I am here to prove you wrong and show you a very very simple work around!
THIS IS FOR HBOOT 1.50 S-ON USERS ONLY.
Here's how:
ALWAYS REMEMBER DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
1. Download a Sense 3.6 ROM for you EVO 3D. Here's a list:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/24783-evo3d04-mayromcdmavirtuous-quattro-sense-edition-100-rc2-sense-36-android-403/ (I used this ROM, Virtuous Quattro!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634807 (Unlike above, this one has tweaks.)
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?12441-Booster-Shot-RC2-5-7-2012-Boost-Kingdom-Rom-Ported-to-the-EVO-3D (Also has tweaks.)
2. Make sure the ROM is on the root of your EVO 3D's SD card. This will make things easier later.
3. Download this kernel here (THE GODLY FIX!!!): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24995663/AnthraX-htcleak-stockfirmwaretest.zip Place it on the root of your SD card.
4. Shutdown your phone, remove and re-insert the battery, then start into HBOOT (Volume down and power) and boot into recovery. (I have 4-ext recovery.)
5. First wipe all your phones data. Wipe the boot, data, and system partitions and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
6. Flash your ROM. DO NOT reboot.
7. Flash the "AnthraX-htcleak-stockfirmwaretest.zip" file.
8. Reboot and enjoy. You have successfully installed fully working Sense 3.6!!! Congrats!!!
THANKS TO chad.goodman FOR THIS GREAT FIX.
LIST OF ISSUES IN THE KERNEL:
3D doesn't work properly.
USB Mounting not working.
ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE:
4G works!!!
WiFi works!!!
3G works!!!
Rear camera works in 2D!!!
Front facing camera works!!! (FACE UNLOCK)
Virtually everything elseā€¦
Is this a new kernel from Chad because with his previous leaked kernel, 3D and USB were not functioning. I'm S-OFF now but I used this when I was HBOOT 1.5 S-ON and it brought ICS to a lot of us who got boot loops with the stock kernel so much kudos to Chad.
Looks like it's the same test kernel that he released before. I don't think there has been any further development on that and he is moving on to a kernel based off the Evo 3D/Sensation ICS kernel so those that had issue will be stuck with his test kernel unless they get s-off which I'm planning to do soon.
Guys, It worked 100% for me on Virtuous Quattro. USB storage didn't work, but it fixed my Sense 3.6 boot loop issue. If you DO have the issue, take a chance and flash the kernel. I am trying to be helpful.
MY SETUP:
HBOOT 1.50 S-ON
4-EXT RECOVERY
YOU SHOULD USE 4-ext RECOVERY IF YOU DON'T ALREADY
Ya this works great besides WiFi. There is no ssm clamping options in the setting menu so can't check it so don't work. Tried sereval roms and all are the same. Hope we can find a way to fix this and I be happy camper. I loaded viper, mik, and clean. Tried deleting the app and redownloading it from market ...no luck
What am I missing? I've been on MeanROM ICS since he released it. I even dirty flashed it right over his GB ROMs and it's been flawless since day 1.
hboot 1.4 s off and there is no way I was ever going to flash VM firmware.
Who/what is making this so difficult?
Edit: clarified in the OP.. disregard.
Answer
People with HBOOT 1.50 S-ON will be able to use this fix.

This is for hboot 1.5 s-on. Prior to this fix phone would boot and just as loads up it reboot and start over on n on. I been fighting this issue for two weeks. Now I have ics running great beside 2 listed issues
Once S-Off is achieved by whatever means, you should not have any issues flashing any of the ICSense ROMs. Although many have been successful using the bricked method I have never been to fond of "breaking" (bricking) something to then "fix it" (downgrade). And even though the wire trick seems risky, it was very simple to follow. I definitely recommend it for anyone gong thru what I was going thru... Now bootloops are a thing of the past!

Ahh, come on man..just brick it!! lol..seriously I was in the same boat as you until this past weekend when I finally downgraded my bootloader. I was scared as hell at the thought of bricking my phone on purpose! But, it was crazy simple using the live cd. At no point was I like "wtf". I say give it a try.

EVO 3D GSM WiFi Error

Hi, I currently have problems getting my WiFi to work. Every ICS ROM/Kernal I've tried (includes KingCobra, mwakious,Coolexe, Viper3D) my WiFi has been dysfunctional. It would be grayed out saying "Turning on..." or "ON" and the toggle won't work at all. I have tried WiFix as well. It worked once for me and WiFi problems start happening again over night. Does anyone have a solution to my WiFi problem?

I don't know about any of the roms u listed off the top of my head, but a lot of roms need the latest RADIO to work as intended, which I believe is:
11.25.3504.06_M.
i have the same problem. im s-off, rooted. tried updating the radio, adb pushing boot.img, flashing stock rom, clean wipe and flashing custom rom, gui kernel flash... nothing worked to fix my wifi problem.
is my wifi really dead? do i have to send it to HTC for repairs?
any help is welcome.

My guess would be that the actual WiFi antenna died for some reason... I would try to flash a RUU just to be sure, but likely a hardware problem so you will likely be sending it for repair which is a problem in and of itself as htcdev unlock doesn't work with phones with a replaced motherboard. Bottom line, try the RUU it might work

Been having the same issue for awhile too. Running PredatorUnity Rom. Used flashgui image to flash the ANA v7 kernel and after it rebooted the WiFi was working no problems at all. Then after about 30min it stopped. What started happening was it would say that it was on but would not show any WiFi hotspots only the previously connected showing it out of range. Then completely stopped giving me the grayed out turning on error. Really weird stuff. Been trying to get it working again since Sunday

Have you tried removing your SIM card? I tried that before and it actually ended up working. My thought was it was the WiFi Reigional problem, however, after trying out the WiFix it did the trick but after that I still ended up where I started. Now that method no longer works for me. Maybe it might for you?

[Q] Phone freezes, reboots, and other problems

JunoBear 1.50 s-off
4ext recovery
Mean ICS v2.6
Anthrax kernel 3.2.2
Radio 1.06.1216
Sprint CDMA
Problems:
Phone reboots randomly, even when in call
Phone freezes randomly
Holding down power button>power options> to restart> doesn't fully restart
getting a lot of roaming from home to work which never happened. Have to update prl back and forth from work to home which is annoying in itself.
What i have tried:
usually have to take battery out then can power back the phone on.
1.Wipe cache+dalvik, cache, dalvik cache
2.format system, data, everything, even sd card
3.tried superwipe
4. tried different roms MikVirgin 1.01, Mean ICS, Paranoid
5. tried different hboot eng 1.04, 1.40
6. tried the kernel with flashed rom, anthrax kernel, buttertoast
7. tried different variations with different roms,h-boot, etc.
Your radio is the problem. The ROMs and kernels you have mentioned on here run on the latest radio firmware. That the would explain why your phone freezes up when you try calling people and the random reboots are kernel and hboot incompatibilities. Heres a short list of what I mean.
Anthrax kernels can run on any hboot.
So can butteredtoast.
Most ICS roms can only run on hboot 1.58.00.00 or 1.58.5858
With the exception of zr3d Xl plus and viper3d.
All aosp ROMs can only be run on hboot 1.5 or lower.
All of these ROMs run on radio 1.09.0706
I would reccomend flashing this file to get you back on stock and on latest radios (1.09.0706 SPRINT 2.89)

I reccomend you downloading this from your PC. Place it on the root of your sdcard and rename it PG86IMG in all caps. Insert the card back into your phone and power your into bootloader. When your phone detects the file, press the volume key up to start the update. Once finished, you can reflash your recovery, and then flash a ROM. Remember that ICS sense ROMs work with hboot 1.58 and Aosp ROMs works with 1.5 or lower. Good luck.

Most ICS roms can only run on hboot 1.58.00.00 or 1.58.5858
With the exception of zr3d Xl plus and viper3d.

Not to be argumentative since 99% of what you said is right, but the only CDMA ROM (ICS or other) that requires hboot 1.58 is Coolexe's ROM. Viper doesn't anymore and the others never have. Some prefer certain radios and firmware though as you said.
If what jsparta said doesn't work, then I'd run the ruu.exe located in ramjet's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438 . It will put you back to stock but s-off still. All firmware, radios, etc will be updated. If phone runs fine stock, then flash hboot, custom recovery and custom ROM. When I had issues, this fixed it fit me.
thanks guys. i'll give both a try. hopefully it will fix the problems.

Wow I had no idea lol. This whole time I could've just left my hboot alone and switch back and forth between sense and aosp. Thanks coal that was very useful information. Nomore jumping through hoops for me:good::highfive:

i'm getting ready to try it today. i was giving it a day or so to see if the freezing problem was just a one time thing, but it turn out it's still doing it daily. And just today when my battery died, i charged the phone up, and powered it on, then it went into a boot loop.
any how for the ruu, is it necessary to relock the bootloader or can i just flash the ruu.exe?
update: i did the "fastboot oem lock" command, but output came up ...... <bootloader> Device was already locked!
my hboot screen shows
= JuopnutBear =
Shooter XC ship s-off RL
HBOOT-- 1.50.5050
Looking at your specs, it is not necessary to unlock or relock your bootloader being s-off. Your green lights to go ahead and run the ruu from your PC.

That Rom is pretty stable from my understanding, but maybe try a different one for a while. Maybe one that is sense 3.6 based, like zr3dxl.

after a few weeks. i'm still getting reboots, freezes and shut down..now more frequent, 2-3 times a day. i did the shooter ruu and tried different roms. currently using Mean ics v2.6 what am i doing wrong?
Honestly, with the problems you're describing, it sounds like you need to flash back to stock and take it in to a Sprint repair center. I'm assuming all the freezes and reboots have been an ongoing problem?

that's not really an option. has a bad esn
Then, you're hosed. What you're describing with the freezes and reboots on multiple roms screams hardware issue and no about of flashing software is going to fix that.

Major problem, Need your guys' help

I've had my Evo LTE since launch. Ran many many ROM's. Was on CM11 for quite some time and then all the sudden in my pocket it went into a bootloop. But, not a normal bootloop. It will boot all the way into android, I can unlock the screen sometimes even use it for a while then reboot. Many times it will get to the lockscreen only and then reboot, it will do his cycle indefinitely. I know this type of bootloop usually indicates a kernel/ROM mismatch, but all the ROM's I've been using since this started are the kernel included with the ROM and no customizations. I've done the ViperUU, I've re-flashed firmware. Wiped absolutely everything, except external sdcard. Sometimes it will run for a few hours before it starts again, and sometimes it start rebooting immediately. I'm at the end of my knowledge of what other steps to take. Those of you with mad skills, I petition your expertise please!
What version of cm were you using? Deck's build or nightlies?

You might want to try a RUU for your current firmware... It might be time for a refresh for your phone, then unlock, root and s-off again...

Agreed. I would RUU with the most recent OTA and go from there. If you're S-off you'll still be S-off once you run the RUU. Afterwards, I'd stay stock for a few days and see how the phone acts. If the issue persists you most likely have a hardware issue somewhere. If everything runs okay afterwards you can unlock your bootloader again, install a custom recovery and flash a ROM.

I didn't realize the HTC RUU was available. I thought ViperUU was the only one. I will give that a shot. Thanks guys! I will report the results.

Posting results as promised. The HTC RUU seems to have fixed the problem, haven't had a reboot since the RUU 3 days now. However during this process I was without a phone for 6 days, I picked up an LG G2. This phone kicks. Got it at Best Buy out the door for $48, CRAZY cheap for such a phone. I guess I'll be getting rid of my EVO.

I'll take it, lol. I need a working test device.
I'd like to test and see if an older RUU works with the new Sense 5 ROM setup

Of course that would be the first thing I'd test . Just can't do it on my everyday/work device.
