I also have 1.18.720.3 but no bugs like this, btw how often it restarts and when?
Sent from my HTC Desire X
it started with once a day now its around 3-4 per day. dint have the problem before update.
done everything from factory reset to unstalling apps. i just wanted to go back on stock firmware 401 and check . no rooting needed if possible.
if it still have reboot problem , then its hardware problem.

they will also not replace it immediately, first they will flash it.. i was hoping to do that myself .anyways i hv 6 mnth waranty left...
Do you have any HTC service center near you cause it still in warranty and playing with firmware might void it and if its a hardware problem then they will charge you for voiding warrenty. If you can unroot it to stock then its ok.

not sure.. actually my many friends about 8-9 friends have Mozart and all got updated successfully and working fine. Mine got corrupt I belive is due to any one of the reason.
1 - battery was not fully charged so it drained during update process and corrupted files on ROM.
2 - my USB cable is little damanged.. so if I move my cell it drops connection.. and I was on couch so I suspect this maybe main reason behind files getting corrupt.
Hahaha, sounds exactly like me xD
Except I was in bed and not on couch^^

hmm, so I got a response from HTC.. they say motherboard is dead.. now I highly doubt that, because it happened during update process and specifically after HTC Cleanup update, after it restarted phone it did not come up.. so I am going to open it and test it myself.. and if still I dont find out.. I am going to give it to local mobile repairer and see.. else buy new Windows Phone.
whats up with ur device?
HTC is hopeless.. they have only one answer Motherboard.. and am 100% sure it is not motherboard issue. So tomorrow I am going to some local mobile repair shop which will repair it using JTAG method. Basically it can bring hard brick devices into life again.
will keep you all posted.
updated to Mango without any problems.
Got my Mozart backup alive.. Got it reparied from the local mobile shop.. darn cheap compared to HTC Motherboard reason.. and got it reparied in just 2 hours.
What ended up being wrong with it?

Hi I have the same problem here except that the cable is fine and I was doing the update on a desk.
What ended up being the problem with yours... HTC want me to believe its the battery but I know that that diagnosis is ****.
The Reason i ask is either it is or i am the unluckiest person ever with a S2 lol
So far got the phone at xmas wasn't happy with the screen colours sent it off they said the main chip was faulty and had been replaced and a software upgrade etc...
Got it back and flashed a custom rom, well a few and noticed that i then had an issue where if someone called i had to put loudspeaker on in order to hear the other person...
Put phone back to stock and sent it off again...
Phone came back last week picked up monday used for a day all seemed fine, flashed a custom rom got another problem with the phone this time i have to put the loudspeaker on to hear other people they can hear me fine...
So its back to stock and back to vodafone tomorrow...
So can custom roms/kernels cause physical issue's with phones, never had an issue with my HTC Desire HD but i'm beginning to wonder if i should leave my next S2 stock, or have i just been unlucky ???
Would also add when going back to stock the screen colours seem much better than custom roms but the sounds issue's remain...
One word NO!
What rom are you flashing?
Checkrom, wickedrom, illusion Xt, not sure which if any has caused any issues could be I'm just unlucky
Definatly noticed issues with screen colours too which now in I'm back on stock have been sorted
Its all a bit weird

Trust me if that was the case damaging my phone by flashing a rom then my phone would of been damaged goods by the first month i had it
Anyway just be careful how you flash a rom and it is always advised to do a full wipe before installing one
Um, actually, yes.
You run the (slight) risk of bricking your phone every single time you flash something to it. If you're the type of person who's paranoid about these things & can't handle the idea of possibly not getting warranty service if things go wrong, you shouldn't be messing with your phone in the first place.
Anyone who has an expectation (as opposed to a "hope") of warranty service after they stuff around with the phone is an idiot.
The SG2 is a hard phone to brick. Follow the general guidelines and you should be fine. I can't imagine flashing a rom can break this phone. Worst that can happen is you brick it. Either it works or it doesn't.
Yeah Im fully aware that you risk bricking the phone
I've been flashing roms to HTC,s for years always trouble free
I always read and full wipe between flashes
Sounds like I've been unlucky then 3rd time phone is going back and since Xmas 1day without a fault not a great introduction to Samsung for me...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
In all my time reading SGS1 and 2 the only ones who have bricked their phone are the idiots (1) who refuse to read instructions . Even then 90% of them have been able to recover .
the SGS2 quota of 1 is getting higher day by day for some reason .
jje
Yeah 3 physical faults though in a month which is what got me thinking maybe installing the custom roms is causing an issue, but if others are installing with no issue's i've obviously just been unlucky
Hopefully this time i get it back its sorted...

Seconded..
It's possible to introduce some new bugs by flashing a custom ROM (that's the price of development, you uncover new weird stuff), but not to physically damage the phone. You'd have to fiddle with the battery or greatly increase the voltages to accomplish that.
If you experience hardware issues after flashing a ROM, it means that the hardware was faulty before, and flashing the ROM just uncovered it and made it obvious to you whereas it was hidden before.
But don't let it get you down. Apparently a lot of SGS2's are faulty when coming out of the factory and need to be replaced.
The first one I had didn't last the night, it 'overcooked' itself when I plugged it to the mains to get it recharged (I knew those phones could get pretty hot but damn ! a 100°C is too much for it, it didn't stand the strain and gave up)..
In fairness they suggested a new phone in Vodafone today so it's gone back with the the request of a new phone rather than repair so we'll see
Also if anyone is interested I obviously flashed a few custom roms and reset the counter to zero and installed original Vodafone software and have had no issues warranty wise

I seem to have been lucky with a Vodafone SGSII, I'd have insisted on a new phone from it's first problem, Vodafone have always been pretty good at replacing.
I am wondering however how did you manage to reset the flash counter ? Even with a USB Jig mine won't reset. It will go into download mode, but that's it. I presumed my six week old SGSII was a newer one a jig won't work on.
Before trying to reset the counter you should flash the old boot loader (pre-KI1) on, the new one cannot be reset safely with a jig. Works just fine after this
What Snakeforhire said i flashed the old bootloader reset the counter with the USB Jig then reflashed the new bootloader...
Updated through kies and sent back...

I need to send Amaze in for warranty replacement, but bootloader shows as "Relocked." Do any of the legendary android dev heroes know if its possible to restore the Amaze bootloader to show "Locked" as it originally did. Not sure if the relocked status will void the warranty.

Not without s=off... The testers of s=off script I think are able to, but ours (s=on) will say "relocked."
Your warranty is probably still good... As long as it was a hardware issue... And if its a software issue, that can probably be fixed w/o sending it in
Sent from my HTC Ruby running Android Revolution HD
Thanks... I believe its a hardware issue. It was running fine on senseless rom, then all of a sudden it began overheating when charging, and the phone would just continually reboot until the battery was completely drained. It showed battery health was poor so I replaced the battery, but the problem persisted. The phone overheats when charging, and just keeps loading all the way to the home screen, then it auto reboots after less than a minute. I reverted everything back to stock to see if that fixed the problem, but it still does the same thing. T-mobile tech support said the prob sounds hardware related. Has anyone heard of software causing these problems? As far as I can find through searching s-off is still a no go for the average "instruction follower" like me. I dont wan t to jump into trying s-off when its still in the r&d stages and destroy an already limping device. thanks for all the help. There are many geniuses on XDA and I dont think you all get the credit u deserve.
You should be fine with it relocked then...

My guess is they will not see it as they probably have to replace the motherboard anyway and afterwards reflash the latest stock firmware.

In that case, you should not have any problem with warranty....

if it's sudden death and seems to be a brick :cyclops: they prolly will just swap it out, so don't worry. i'm not sure how samsung warranty works but i think a lot of people very ofthen don't try to repair your device they give you a replacement so your waiting time becomes a lot shorter. they take your phone give you a replacement once they know your device needs serious repair, get your phone fixed later and give it to someone else who needs a replacement, that's how i know Sony does it with the Playstation and it's a really good Idea.
Another thing i was wondering is. If you have a phone and it's got some issued and they piss you off but phone still more or less working. Many times they don't take you serious and just do some Factory Reset bla bla and give it back. in such cases would it be an idea to just hardbrick your phone (flash wrong rom). will they then give you another phone? Or will they try to see if you did it yourself?

They will either repair or replace the handset, just had the screen of death on a flashed and rooted phone (flash count was on 3) took it in to P4U and it was sent for repair,got it back 2 weeks later with a new board in it. I assume that they just swap it out as it is not possible to get power into it so can't check anything.

Unfortunately, that did not work. Contacted HTC Support Chat, they ran me through steps that were pointless and did nothing. So I have to send it off to an authorized HTC repair centre. Any ideas whether having the Desire X rooted means that the warranty is voided? Thanks!

Yes The warranty is void beacuse you have an unlocked bootloader.
I doubt they will notice though.
Have you left it on charge for a whole day and problems still happen. Also can you not get into recovery or enter boatloader

Yes, have previously left it on to charge for a day, but no change. I have tried various other suggestions on other posts, but to no success. And no, I cannot get in to the bootloader or recovery. Must probably a hardware issue, has been working fine for months, and have not flashed anything for months aswell.
