Hello, I have a problem with my Razr randomly shutdowns. I have an official RSD Retail Brazilian ICS installed. The device is from Rogers Canada but used in Europe. I am the second user, bought it already used. I do not have warranty, if so, I would send it to be repaired but it is not possible.
What have I tried: Wipe the whole device. Wiping the cache. Installed the ICS over the RSD and did not installed any apps but the shutdowns still occured. Pushed the sim card in to the slot, so it does not stick out. I love this device. It is gorgeous, but the shutdowns are really annoying. Please, if you have any advice it is welcomed. Thank you in advance. Bye.
Shutdown noticed.
Yesterday I have noticed, when the device is shutting down, it makes a sound as if the battery was empty (actually it was not, it was 3/4 full), the led flashes red and the phone shutdowns. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you. Bye.
I'd like to think that there is infact a problem with your battery. You can either have it serviced or replace the battery yourself
Thanks for advice.

I consider this possibility, do not have too many options left. Thank you for your advice. Have a nice day. Bye.
Once again I tried to reinstall the firmware, stopped some apps, like SMART actions, sport active and hoped the device would not shutdown, the phone lasted 2 days and then sometimes during this night it shutdown. It looks like I have ran out of options. If I buy a new battery, will the shutdowns stop? Thanks for any reply. Bye.
Shutdown solved.
Just for the record I figure out what the problem with my random shutdown was. The problem was within the Micro sd card. I noticed that some of my files were missing, or had 0 kb on the card, so I tried to use my device without the card and the problem vanished, no reboots in few days. So I reformated the micro sd card and now it is Ok. If you have problem with random shutdowns, try the mentioned above, before you buy a new battery.
- wipe the cache
- install the ICS over the RSD
- after flash, try not to install any apps, to see if some of the apps does not inflict the shutdown
- push the sim card in to the slot, so it does not stick out.
- try the device without using the micro sd, or reformat the sd card
If you do not have warranty, consider buying a new battery or discuss with an expert what can cause this problem.
If the above mentioned does not help and your device is still under warranty, send it to be repaired.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day. Bye.

Good find ... It will definitely help others with similar problem:good:
Shutdowns are back!
Hello everyone,
I thought that formating the sd solved my problem with the random shutdowns. I was wrong, they appeared again. I also tried a different micro sd card, to see, if it was not problem with my card. I realized that the problem was not in the card, but it is in the device it self. Also, I bought a new battery, installed it and thought the problem is gone, but again I was wrong and the shutdonws appeared. I am clueless where the problem might be. If anyone knows, how to solve this, be free to write. Thanks in advance. Have a nice evening. Bye.

Hello,
I'm having the same problem as you. Almost emediate after my phone is restarted it restarts again.
The last couple of days I've tried many options,
installed safestrap, installed a new ROM with Eclipse but it keeps shutting down.
If you find something new, post it here!
I actually think that there is something wrong with the internal memory or something like that, that is causing this shutdowns.
But what is wierd is that when my phone is recovery the shutdowns doesn't happen, what is kind of wierd for a hardware problem...

Hello, I have not tried. Never thought about it. I might give it a try. My current version of the system is: 672.180.350.XT910.Brasil.en.BR.
I will try the original Rogers firmware, has a different kernel.
Thank you very much for the advice .
Have a nice evening. Bye.
The problem with the random restarts sounds like problem with the kernel itself.
I had the same problem when I was with the stock Android 2.3. I tried rooting and installing custom roms but my attempts failed. Then I found a thread in the forum that showed me how to install the OTA ICS Rom. I remember that I used RSD Lite to install this 6.7.2-180_SLC-31_LATAM_SPYDERICSRETBRLA_ServiceCFC_fastboot.xml.zip.
I think that solved my problem.
Maybe my original kernel wasn`t good and after I did that I installed new one with it which helped me.
Hello, so I flashed the firmware from Rogers - GAS_NA_SPYDERICSROGERS_P012 with the newest Kernel - 3.0.8-g35a1af9 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPR Tue Jul 24, but unfortunatelly the device shut it self down. I am going to try older firmware. Wanted to ask, if theres a possibility to flash only kernels and basebands on the newest Latam rom or customs roms? Thanks a lot. Have a nice day. Bye.
So far I tried 2 different firmwares and the result is the same - hard shutdown. I realized that on both firmwares was the same kernel 3.0.8. Is there any else Kernel in ICS firmwares or my last option is the gingerbread firmware? Thanks. Bye.
Being in ICS is impossible to go back to GB... Have you tried flashing other FW with RDS lite... Try others FW http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php

Thank you very much for the advice. I already tried to flash new and old LATAM firmwares, but the shutdowns appeared. I am trying MIUI rom with 3.0.8 kernel from LATAM firmware. Have a nice day. Happy New Year to everyone . Bye.
Also custom Rom does not help. Shutdown appeared.
Already tried and flashed these firmwares:
6.7.2-180_SLC-31_LATAM_SPYDERICSRETBRLA_ServiceCFC_fastboot.xml.zip
6.7.2-180_SLC-35_LATAM_SPYDERICSRETBRLA_ServiceCFC_fastboot.xml.zip
6.7.2-180_SLC-35_R02_SIGNLATAM_SPYDERICSROGERS_P012_A012_HWp2b_CFC_fastboot.xml.zip
all have 3.0.8 kernel. Maybe the new JB firmware will solve the problem. If I flash a non LATAM firmware will I brick my device? From what I read on the forums posted on XDA, it is not possible to flash different firmwares, that means I can only flash LATAM firmwares? Thanks for all the suggestions. Have a nice day. Bye.
Can there be a hardware problem with my device? I know that there is nothing wrong with my battery, because I bought a new one and shutdowns still appeared. Thanks. Bye.

I have this HTC HD2 and after i flashed a stock Rom and updated my rom again this occurred. Every time I turn on the Phone I am stuck at the Boot loader screen and I have no way to reverse it. My SPL states that I am on 3.03 but there are certain numbers missing from the top of the screen. I have tried to flash the Rom many times after and every time it reaches 2% the phone restarts and i get invalid Vendor ID, please see the screenshot. Thanks
my most important question is if the Phone is bricked and nothing can be done
Could have been a bad flash indeed.
But, the good news is that in most cases, as long as you get into the bootloader, you can get in working again.
"Invalid vendor ID" means that the ROM you tried to flash was not made for your HD2. In case you have a branded device, you must flash the ROM which was made for your operator, if it´s a free device, you must flash an HTC ROM.
You now need to find the proper ROM for your device and flash it through the SD card method, this will re-flash SPL as well.
im afraid this issue has come up a few times (only 2 or 3 that ive noticed) and is not fixable. there are a couple of threads where people have posted pics of bootloaders with those missing/strange characters and it seems to be unfixable and occur for an unknown reason..... sorry.
jtag may resolve the issue if your able to find a way having it done

In another thread, a few other users succeeded with this:
1. Took out the battery for about 30 seconds.
2. Put one of the LEOIMG.NBH on storage card
3. After putting the battery held the volume down button and pressed power button.
4. It went into HSPL mode straight away and started loading the win 6.5 OS.

But only with some other previously unseen data in the bootloader...
Maybe this still helps here.

good find! I didn't see that one, hope it works.
thanks for the info. will update you as soon as I try all those methods. the only thing is i believe that i haven't try the SD card method will update.
hi
thought id try asking for help since i think iv tryed everything hear to fix my streak.the problem im having is random shutdows and wont bootup from dell screen sometimes the phone works fine untill i try use gps or something demanding.iv gone thru most custom roms and experence the same problems and am just about out of ideas the only thing i havent tryed is replacing the 2gig internal sd card thought that might be causing the reboots but i am no phone expert just a novice who likes tinkering any sugestons would be verry helpfull even if its just telling me its a dead couse and buy a new one thanks
james
ps. all out of warrenty thanks
bit more info
done the over the air update now so im on
2.2.2
baseband: gausb1a135100-eu
kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf
build: 15609
anyone shed any light still random reboots and verry unstable thanks
james
AFTER you flashed the update package did you do a factory reset?
yep tryed a factory reset wih each custom rom i tryed as well still no joy does any reckone a new 2gig internal sd would make any diffrence ? thanks for yor reply mate.
james
Well, my suggestion would be to flash again then... it's a very common occurence for an OTA update to go bad and people have bricked Streaks (happened to me as soon as I got mine) so it's your next step....
You will need to look for the download somewhere, preferably on your computer and then transfer it over to your sd card...
Have you considered getting away from the stock ROM and using something that has been improved and lightened
Hi,
I have been having loads of issues lately with my GS3, it works for about 3 or 4 minutes then crashes and restarts. or shuts down completely. if i leave it to charge then i don't have any guarantee that when i wake up in a morning that it will even be switched on!
It's all a bit random and some days i can barley use the phone, it will restart and crash for literally hours on end, even when i remove the battery for 30mins and put it back in, it continues.
I have been reding up and i suspect i have this sudden death thingi thats affecting phones, i checked using the little app and i do have the version that is affected.
so yesterday i installed cm-10.1-20130311-NIGHTLY-i9300 but i'm still having the same issues as before. is there anything i have missed?
Many thanks

Just wanted to say thank you for your help, i have put it back to stock rom now and so far so good no crashes and it looks like it has sorted the sudden death issue.
I can't do an over the air update though, so i'm not sure if i am on the latest version but if im honest i don't care! as long as it works
Thanks again for your help and advice, it isnt un appriciated.
Hi. I have a SGSIII which doesn't work properly. Its previous owner told me that the phone had started work slowly so the owner decided to restore factory settings. After that operation he was not able to use SGS. It keeped restarting. He gave up and now this telephone belongs to me. When I try to run this phone telephone restarted as soon as the system started. I decided to flash SGS with stock firmware. I found the one which contained only one file (PDA). Unfortunately it didn't help me. Then, I installed CWM and CM11. But the problem still wasn't solved. Finally I decided to find four-file stock rom (Bootloader, PDA, PHONE, CSC), of course I still have the same problem. I've been looking for solution in the Internet and I'm afraid that could be hardware problem, what is more, it seems to be common. Do you, guys, have any ideas what can I do to fix this issue? Or can you confirm that is the hardware problem? Thanks in advance.

Dont know much but as long as the phone boots i dont think it should be a hardware problem but still it can be. Did you try takimg it to service?

Well I haven't tried taking it to service, because I am not sure if it is worth to repair this. Replacing the motherboard will be expensive so the better way will be buying another phone.
It could be a stuck power button... that can cause bootlooping type behavior. If the phone turns itself on when you put the battery in, but then reboots before it gets done booting it's likely the power button.

I don't think so the power button is guilty, becaue the telephone doesn't turn itself and it doesn't reboot until Android starts.
Hi everyone,
This is my problem: yesterday while under charge my phone died. When I tried to reboot it, it just showed the white elephone logo without animation. I tried to reboot few times but nothing. I could access the recovery(TWRP) but it couldn't mount any partition, so I could not do anything like formatting or wiping anything. I tried to connect the phone to my PC and it was recognized, so I also tried to flash the stock rom (many times actually) with no luck... As a side note when I plug it to the power the battery icon shows up, but still with no animation...
Does anyone of you know what could possibly be the problem, or any viable solution?
Although I havent got a solution to your issue, HERE is a very similiar situation someone else had, unfortunately the thread doesnt end offering any solution but perhaps you can PM the OP of the thread and ask if he resolved it and how ? Hope you can get it sorted without having to resort to Elephone warranty support (we all know how bad that is)

Thanks for the reply, I contacted the OP, let's hope he will answer me... I also tried to flash in Firmware upgrade, with no results...
Just to update you, I have ordered a new battery as last hope, but with no results... eMMC fried I suppose. 8 months of life. I regret having bought this phone.

Maybe the partitions gotcorrupted and you just need to repartition the drive, doing a format all on sp flash should work, but you will lose imei and you need to restore it later on. Then simply flash the stock rom for Lite version and done.
