I have been running MIUI for about a month as my daily driver. every few weeks i would try out a new MYN rom or a new Fresh Rom but it seems they always have the same issues. with any Sense Rom i run i get reboots every so often for no reason. also i get Forced closes on Google Music and Pandora. I am not a noob to flashing Rom's at all as i have been doing it sense the Hero days, but i am at a loss on this one. I am using CWM but have also used TWRP in there just to see if it made a difference and it hasn't. every time i flash i do a full wipe and then run the Warm Format All utility. I have tried out several of the ICS Rom's and haven't had any rebooting issues. I even updated all of the radios in an effort to resolve this but to no success. I love Miui but i would like a stable Sense Rom to go back to every now and again if i am going to be in an area with 4G and need to tether. or use my stereo Bluetooth headset.

Odd indeed. Perhaps a kernal issue? Are you on Hboot 1.4 or 1.5? Also, check out CleanROM as it is a VERY stable and fast rom. Little to no issues with it.
thanks for the advice. I got fed up today as the issue continued and even started happening with MIUI. I ran the latest RUU on the phone and took it to a sprint store and they ran a benchmark on it for about 30 min and nothing happened. They went ahead and ordered me another phone. Here is the strange bit. I ran the 2.08 RUU and i confirmed that it put HBoot 1.50 on the phone. when i got back to my office i ran the 1.13 RUU and it had HBoot 1.40 back on it. I then re-rooted with Revolutionary and i am finishing up with it now. I thought once you had 1.50 you were stuck with it no matter what.

odd indeed. hope everything gets worked out for you. definitely check out CleanROM as it is a great stable rom when you want to go back to the stock sense look/feel and still have great performance.
I will give it a try. I have used it in the past. Thanks for your help.

wait, so you can just RUU to an "outdated" stock ROM if you're stuck on hboot 1.5? that seems too easy to do, it's hard to believe that's not common knowledge. I would test this in a heartbeat myself if I wasn't one of the lucky ones who got a phone with hboot 1.3 when I bought my phone less than a month ago
i ran the 2.08 ruu went to sprint they booted into the bootloader in front of me and showed me what he was going to do. i looked and confirmed that it said hboot 1.5 it was still s-off and he didn't notice that i dont think. i got back to my office booted the bootloader and once again confirmed it was 1.50. i started looking for ways to downgrade. while i waited i installed the 1.13 ruu in the hopes it might do something and it did. I found the ruu here on XDA and it put me back to 1.4 with the .97 radio and everything. i ran revolutionary and re rooted and then restored the last backup i had and i am still using it now.
Well I got myself into a real pickle here. I was trying to get the newer OTA with my unlocked rooted 3D I tried everything I have here on how to do it but now my phone just reboots itself after it get to the sprint screen sometimes it does make it to where is show the info bar at the top with the time but reboots soon after. I have tried a stock recovery and a new OTA RUU using hboot and the PG86IMG.IMG which did install at hboot but I still have the same issues. Any ideas on how to at least get back to normal?

What hboot are you ? Also what software are you on 2.08 ? You are CDMA I am guessing? If all else fails man boot into your recovery and wipe just not your SD card and go back to hboot relock your phone and use the latest 2.17 ruu exe.. Works every time and then root again and your set... This info is for CDMA only Not GSM>>>
THanks reaper. I was on hboot 1.5 and CDMA sorry for not stating. I ended up just taking it back to sprint and they gave me a new phone which I am actually happy about because of a few blemishes I had on the phone. I think I will wait till after ICS and see if they can get it rooted. I really only want the ability to wireless tether.
Again thanks for the reply
I just bought a Rezound and it is continuously freezing and rebooting within 5 minutes of booting. It usually occurs when unlocking the screen. This occurred on the latest gingerbread release even after 2 factory resets and after upgrading with the leaked ICS ruu. I already did the boot loop fix by making sure WCDMA was not set for the network type. It even freezes with the back cover off and the sim card removed. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
Call 611 and have it replaced. It's borked.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Was phone full stock and not tapered? If so then yes defective.
Are you rooted? if so did you run the ics ruu and then go back to gingerbread?
because that would be your issues right there
The phone is 100% stock, it has never been rooted. All I did was upgrade with the leaked ICS ruu. My question is if I call into Verizon will they care that I upgraded with the leaked ruu and if so can I downgrade back to gb I know if I use the gb ruu it will say unable to downgrade to older version.

Get Soff and then downgrade and relock. I returned 2 phones already like this without issue.
Sounds like someone installed iOS 5.0.1 when you weren't looking...

I would do this but the juopunutbear s-off technique requires the phone to be on for part of the process will I be able to do this with the high chance that my phone will freeze in the middle of the process?

no, it doesnt need to be on for long
but you need to HTCDev unlock and root it
ive run the Controlbear program when the boot animation starts and before it could even finish it rebooted it to hboot
The HTCdev unlock only requires the bootloader which I can run all day without the phone freezing. If controlbear doesnt require much time with the phone on I will give it a shot and hope for the best.

in all curiosity, if your going to root it anyway then why not give a custom rom a swing? a rooted stock-ish rom may be to your liking and it also may help you with your issues
just throwing it out there

I was thinking that and I am definitely gonna try it cuz I have nothing to lose.
the s off method only puts the phone into bootloader and recovery. You could probably start in fastboot and it should be able to read it.
I would probably try and get it replaced from verizon. My guess is the memory is faulty. Only explanation if you had the problem on GB and on the ICS RUU since the RUU replaces everything from radios, to rom to kernel.
You did run the ICS RUU twice? That is required to fully flash it.
Yes I did do it twice and the same problems occurred I will run the s off from fastboot and get back to stock and give Verizon a call
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)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193101
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.

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.

Greetings,
Long story short, I was using MeanRom. My supervisor liked it, I flashed it for him. Then I went to CM10, convinced him how awesome JB was and made him switch. He didn't like it so he wen't back to JB. Then weird stuff began to happen.
There's a gym close to our workplace were a coworker gets 4g but my supervisor loses data entirely. When they get out they both get 3g.
Today, I tried to RUU his phone with JB but got stuck at sending, no progress at all, then error 155. We installed an ICS rooted stock rom and now he lost his data at the gym. He rebooted the phone, got 3g and lost it again.
Would it be possible that there is something wrong with the phone itself?
We wanted to take it to the store but we cannot RUU.
Thanks for your time,
Ed
Make sure the boot loader is relocked before running the RUU...also that the correct drivers are installed.

Had the same issue
Had the same issue on Saturday. Had rooted, installed TWRP using the HTC bootloader unlock utility (S-ON), so wanted to run the RUU to get back to stock to stock to accept the JB OTA update. I Would start the RUU update but then the phone would error out and wouldn't fully install.
Ended up taking the phone to the Sprint store and they said that they had an issue with another the other day and there were certain known issues with the JB update and handed me a new phone. Was able to install the JB update, unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and then install root.
Oh yeah, phone was refurbished by Assuron too...
So I could be screwed if I wanted to ruu back the ICS then use the ota for JB? Been thinking about that for the new radios and firmware.
