Hey everyone,
My hermes (which i replaced due to this and got a new one, same prob. so i guess its not a hardware thing) is dying on me after a day or two of usage.
it works fine after a HR, then somewhere within the following 24-48 hours it starts accumilating bugs (start menu wont open, htc home tabs going weird, programs folder is nowhere to be found and all kinds of weird stuff).
resetting the device (soft) always hangs at the same point - splash screen just after showing the rom version numbers.
i've tried to find bad blocks using mtty and it says my device is mint - no bad blocks whatsoever...
im on hardspl 1.30 i think, sim free and cid unlocked, tried several roms and several radios that have worked for me before (on my older device).
any ideads?
do hard reset then put the apps you like on one at a time. if there is a conflict somewhere it will show up soon after the problem app is installed. might be a couple of apps so it may take awhile to work out what one(s)..... cheers
This sounds like the problem that is cropping up lately after installing a 6.1 ROM. It is fixable by first installing an official (the official Dopod ROM is a popular favorite) ROM and then installing your ROM of choice. Current wisdom is that it has something to do with superstorage. Anyway, flash an official ROM first and see if that fixes it.
Bought a T mobile HD2 (unlocked) second hand with energy rom installed.
Got it home & I find that the wifi & bluetooth are not working.
It picks up the network signal fine & the data connection is working fine.
But the wifi turns on & will not pick up anything.
The bluetooth it seems does not discover & is not discoverable.
I suspected it may be somthing to do with the rom so I loaded up a stock T mobile rom with the same results.
I have updated the radio with the same results.
The phone has Hspl loaded & I am wondering if I could do a complete cleanout of everything including Hspl & reload a completly vanilla stock Rom would that help.
I have fiddled with all the settings for both wifi & bluetooth & still no results.
At this point I need help!!!!
Run a task 29 then the stock rom of your choice, check the radio installed is compatable with the rom, hard reboot after completing the rom flash (its a good idea to do that first as well in case you don't need to run a 29 or flash)

I've the same problem ...I suppose.
I used a Touch Pro in the last two years and Energy ROMs since September 2009. I never had problems with Wi-Fi an Bluetooth.
Recently I bought a HD2 and tried Bloutooth and Wi-Fi only after 1 week.
So, both the Touch Pro and the HD2 got the same ROM (Energy ROM) flashed , each by its own version, but two days ago I discovered WiFi not working (DISCOVERED, because I never tried it before)
The problem seems an extremely poor signal seen on the on screen meter, only if I'm close to the router (1-2 meters!) I couldn't establish a real connection, because the HD2 loss the signal every 30-40 seconds.
Bothered about this I tried with Touch Pro: the result is the same!
So I concluded: "It's the ROM!". Strange (never had problems with Energy ROMs) but possible. I flashed the stock ROM on the HD2: the issue remains. So I thought about the RADIO, and I flashed the RADIO 2.12.50.02 (compatible with ROM). The issue is still here.
I used Task 29 before another flash, then I tried an Artemis ROM with RADIO 2.12.50.02... nothing changed. (note that I tried almost every different settings about Wi-Fi,from BsB tostandard enhance settings)
Last (related?) issue: when I try a hard reset, the progress bar starts to "move" but after 3-4 seconds (about a third of the bar) the bar disappears and I got the "Press VolUp button" message. Then the phone has the first boot... but I wonder if the HR is complete, because it seems yes.
Finally I came to this thread and... another doubt: what about BT?
I tried both the Touch Pro and the HD2 Bluetooths but they can't connect or recognize each other (every "Find" and "Visible" options activated)
I didn't try yet with Touch Pro (flash etc.) but I am very bothered and dubious about it.

THANKS FOR HELP or TIPS
WIFI & Bluetooth
Thus far I have run task 29
Reinstalled a stock T-mobile rom
But no luck wifi & bluetooth still not working properly.
Decided to go right back to the very beginning & uninstalled HSPL by loading the stock Rom from the SD card
Stock rom would not upload & i am getting the SPL 1.42.0000 Screen plus "Upgrade Rom code error please try again"
The question I have now is which is the proper stock Rom for this T mobile HD2 & how do I find that out?

Sorry I can't help about this.
We are alone in this thread!
wifi & bluetooth
I think your right.
Ah well, at least I have a very expensive doorstop!
You are not alone. I am experiencing the exact same problem and have yet to find an answer.
Task 29 didn't help and reflashing the radio the traditional way (even with the stock rom) doesn't seem to overwrite whatever is causing this problem.
Would uninstalling the hspl do anything? I am running out of ideas.
Hello,
I downloaded the official rom from the official HTC website.
It is the WWE East Europe version - suited for my device because the SN is confirmed.
The download finished OK from the Europe 2 server.
I flashed by placing the extracted leoimg.nbh on the root of the SD Card.
I confirmed that the flash was successful - it shows the correct version number of Manilla, radio, etc. Additionally, the ROM is still only 448 MB.
However, the phone freezes all the time and/or restarts itself complely randomly - I have observed this 22 times in the past hour. Is anyone experiencing something similar?
I have redone the flash again, but the same issue occurs.
This is happening with no programs installed, no HSPL, etc. Everything is completely clean.
What can I do to stop this?
may i know why you flashed the latest stock rom using your sd card. would it not be easier to flash through your pc using a usb cable?
you might want to check the meaning of "bricking the phone"...........
then remove it from the title of the thread........
As Rurph mentioned, flash it via your pc, still following the instructions from theHTC site
I now tried flashing through PC, same freezing occurs.
To reiterate:
I have an original HTC HD2 bought from the official HTC shop in Czech republic.
I downloaded the latest official ROM for HTC HD2 from the official htc.com/cz website using my original serial number.
The download finished successfully every time (I tried it 5 times from all the different servers), and the SHA-1 hash of the files was identical every time.
I now flashed it using the normal PC method - everything appeared successful.
I also tried extracting the nbh file from the downloaded file - both by running the .exe file, and by extracting it using winrar - both methods gave me the same nbh file with the same SHA-1 hash. Then I moved the leoimg.nbh to the root of SD card and flashed using the SD-Card method. Everything appeared successful.
Both of the above methods give me a system that freezes completely at random. For example when starting the phone, it can just freeze (left it for 8 hours over night, it remained frozed), when moving from 1 tab to another (freezes in the middle of the animation), when opening the start menu, when going into settings, when making phone call, when opening SMS, and most importantly when NOT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL.
What can I do?
Try to flash an older Version.
I don't know if its possible, but maybe that solves your problem.
Did you have SPL 3.03? If no... Install HSPL and use a custom ROM like the one from NRGZ28 (EnergyROM)
If you an't flash the older version via RUU (Rom Update Utility) try to flash it from SD card. You can also perform a "task 29" with MTTY (before you flash)
But be careful, you can brick your phone...
I have always only used official ROMs from HTC, so I never needed HSPL so I never installed it. I also always prefer the official ROMs so I would rather not use a cooked one.
I think flashing an older version would solve the problem, however I would rather like to find out what the cause is...
So far, I managed to get my phone to a useable state by running Android from the SD card - it works flawlessly for all my purposes. The only problem was to start Android through Windows before windows manages to freeze...
Given that android does not freeze, I believe that the freezing problem must be a windows mobile issue.
Any suggestions for tracking down this freezing problem? Could it be a hardware issue?
hard reset. and if no better flash the rom again followed by hard reset.always hard reset straight away as soon as you see a glitch in a freshly flashed rom. don't ask me why, cos i don't know, but it does seem to help when a flash doesn't "take".
oh and you didn't leave the old application data folder on your sd card did you? or try to restore registry settings?

I always hard reset before and after a flash. No change - freezing still occurs.
Even when I did multiple hard resets, the freezing persisted.
The SD card is freshly formatted, checked for no filesystem errors.
I did not restore any settings or anything else - the problem occurs on a completely fresh clean flash.
Additionally, the problem occurs even with no SIM card or SD card inserted into the phone.
Overheating?
I concur with rr5678, seems more like overheating than ROM problems, esp. that I've had the same ROM for a week with no problems whatsoever
hence kind request to OP: check overheating threads and please change the thread subject to a more accurate one so it does not spread misinformation and panic
as for the overheating - 1st thing to do is installing BattClock and monitoring correlation between freezes and battery temperature

The phone is definitely not overheating. It is very cold to touch and it runs Android without a problem.
OK I did some more testing - going back to any previous ROM fixes the freezing. Then installing the newest ROM reintroduces the freezing.
Given that it is definitely not a hardware issue (works on previous ROM, works on Android, no overheating), it looks like a Windows mobile issue.
I am surprised that nobody else is experiencing this. How come I am the only one? What is so special about my phone?
And the new firmware can "brick" the phone - a less skilled user would not be able to do anything with a frozen phone...
Anyone know why I get no ringtones or alarm sounds when using 1.8?
Deliberate?
Edit: Weird, seems first time a check a ringtone or alarm sound list it's empy. I leave then go back, it's populated again. So self-fixing issue.
Edit 2: Yeah.. tabs got mixed up, completely wrong thread, sorry!

Thanks for the advice - but given that the phone freezes even with no SIM card inserted, I do not think that it is the case...
I have however tested inserting a different SIM card anyway, and the freezing occured again...
I too faced constant freezing problems with the official ROM but then I used HSPL and flashed a different radio (2.12 in my case) and ever since never faced any freezing problems..worth a try I guess...
epic fail
not being picky, but "bricking" is, as far I know, by definition an irreversible problem? Hanging and freezing and re-booting are not bricking.
That said, sorry to hear about your troubles.
Sounds like going back to your old ROM is the only solution right now.

Well, to me it seems your phone just doesn't like custom ROMs.
Hi guys,
I have a huge problem. I had a stock GB firmware customized by Optus (carrier in Australia) on my S2 I then decided to change to the new ICS 4.0.4. I downloaded the stock unbranded firmware from SamMobile (Australia 2012 September 4.0.4 I9100XWLPW, I9100XSALP6, XSA) I updated using Odin. Before I did the update I reset the phone, did the update, it all went smoothly. After the update I reset the phone again and then proceeded to reinstall all my apps and restore my contacts, sms, etc.
The phone works and all functions on it work, however now very randomly the phone would totally freeze. The phone would be in standby, the screen would come on and it would be frozen. The screen stay on all the time and it does not respond at all. It will stay frozen until I restart the phone by pressing Home+power buttons to restart it.
After restart it all works fine for a few hours, sometimes a day and would just lock up again. The phone is not rooted and as I said i just changed the firmware from the Optus branded GB 2.3.6 to unbranded stock ICS 4.0.4 by using Odin.
Is there a way to find out what is causing the phone to lock up like that? Any suggestions would be helpful.
and then proceeded to reinstall all my apps and restore my contacts, sms, etc.

I made sure that I didn't restore any data apps. The only apps that got restored are the ones that get automatically restored by Play store.
I have disabled the live wallpaper that I had and it seems to have stopped the freezing for the moment. I will report on what I find out.
In the mean time if anyone else has a similar issue or has a definite solution please let me know.
Thanks
i know this is a resurrection, but don't see it has been resolved.
also found same/similar problem on another topic, but no resolution either.
couldn't find any resolution anywhere on the net, but possibly i'm just missing it (searching for wrong parameters?)
anyway, a friend of mine bought second-hand (third or even fourth hand to be precise) i9100 with 2.3.6 (stock KI3) on it. the guy who sold it to him said something like: "it works best on 2.3, on 4.x it's buggy".
it was working fine, but friend wanted newer OS, so we tried update. it didn't work, and i found out CSC was broken/missing. somehow i managed to repair it, and update was finally working, but was unable to find any for our location.
so next step was to find stock rom that would work on the device, and then i tried four different 4.1.2 stock roms from this topic.
after flashing it through odin, every one was acting fine, until couple of minutes after it started freezing or rebooting randomly.
then i tried flashing CWM, and flashing from sd card, but it was all the same.
wiping data, cache and dalvik cache, prior to flashing. wiping data after flashing...
nothing seemed to work.
GB works rock solid, ICS works better than JB, but stills it freezes or restarts randomly.
tried CM10, but all the same, except it works a bit faster then official JB. but who cares about speed if it freezes/restarts constantly?
back to who knows which build... freeze... samsung galaxy s2 - i9100... with yellow triangle... booting stopped.
so i decided to dig deeper, trying to find hungarian stock build (country we were told the phone came from) not being sure that KI3 is what the phone came actually with. i found 4.0.3, put it on SD card, wiped data, cache, flashed CWM, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, flashed 4.0.3 from sd, wiped data, booted, entered location for updates - hungary. update found, hooray... downloading... installing... rebooting... working?
nope... it's worse than ever. trying to log onto google account. typing in email add.... freeze... switching phone on - freeze... thinking about... freeze.
i couldn't sit still. yellow triangle, all those reboots/freezes... at least i wanted that triangle gone, and without a JIG, there was only solution for me was to try triangle away. it wasn't available for download in my country from play store, so luckily xda was there.
somehow i managed to download it from the device, install it, click remove the triangle... it did it's magic, rebooted... and miracle happened!
no more freezes.
so i started torturing poor phone, benchmarking, playing games, listening to music.... it seemed stable for about an hour.
so i said to myself:
- it's possible that previous owners tried to upgrade it to newer firmware, and somehow screwed up the bootloader, which was fixed by this app? maybe that was all there was from the beginning? why not try putting 4.1.2?
and i did... took 4.1.2 spanish build from already mentioned page above, flashed it... and voila. working JB... torturing the phone... playing with it... hour passes, another hour...
friend wakes up... takes his phone in awe, starts playing with it.. we talk a bit... and then that look it just froze again!
from that moment on, the phone again starts restarting or freezing randomly...
and, yes, i still have no clue what could be the cause. it doesn't matter if wifi is on or off, if you're talking on the phone or not, bluetooth and gps are always off. only thing that he noticed is that it usually happens while he's using the phone (meaning: operating the digitizer or buttons). if he starts music playback and not touching buttons or screen, it will probably play for hours.
one more thing, but i doubt it would be the case. the battery in the phone is not original one that was shipped with it, but a quality replacement.
it doesn't feel as if the phone is overheating... so i don't know what else i could do with it.
for now, it's back to 2.3.6.
we both lost a week, torturing ourselves with this problem.
i don't know is there anything i could add more?
all suggestions are welcome.
cheers
Maybe try kernel cleaning script and try philz or siyah kernels.
You shouldn't have to flash a custom kernel so your phone won't freeze, but yes, you could run a nuke script in order to wipe clean all custom ROM's leftovers.
Try flashin' jb via mobile odin, see if it keeps freezing up on you. If so, nuke it up.
Sent from the little guy
i'll try them out.
probably for the weekend, if not sooner. will report back here with info.
any other suggestions are also welcome.
thanks a lot.
cheers
ok, so here are some updates.
i finally got my hands back on my friends phone, and tried nuking remains of older flashes.
following that, i flashed stock spanish rom from above mentioned page, updated after installation to spanish update... and after a few minutes, sudden reboot...
so, went back to nuking, and flashed stock hungarian 4.0.3 i found elsewhere (mentioned in my earlier post. don't remember origin... if i find the link on another computer where i downloaded it on, i'll post the link). tried updating, says no updates found.
started torturing the device. it seemed solid, but battery reported it level was low, so hooked it up onto charger and all seemed well. but phone seemed a bit too hot.
after few minutes (this was all about half an hour to hour after flashing to 4.0.3), again freeze.
after rebooting the phone, battery was at 9%, as if processes were draining battery faster than charger recharged it.
so, i figured i gotta try original battery. so i switched his battery with genuine from my phone.
phone seems stable and less hot, for now.
still checking if it is going to freeze or reboot again.
it's about one hour since battery change. still on charger and using wifi and playing around with apps.
i'll check in with news later.
cheers
I have the same issue.but my battery is original.
What I noticed that the phone stuck when I receive an update notification.
Can I stop softwsre to ask for updates? ???
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
^go to settings, about device, software update and detick auto update. that should stop it from trying to self-update.
ok, so here is an update to my friend's phone status.
currently on hungarian 4.0.3. about 3-4 freezes/reboots a day. sporadic connection breakups during calls. also, when we talk i can hear myself back. this brings me to conclusion it has to do with modem firmware. i found this topic, so i'll try putting that and see what will happen.
if that doesn't solve anything, my question is this: is there any way of knowing which firmware/rom was originally put on the device, since i don't know the real background of the device? i.e. some way of entering IMEI and finding out what should be on it?
cheers
EDIT: tried KH3 modem, no changes... i could still hear myself while talking to my friend on that device. also, it froze couple minutes later. going back to 2.3.5-2.3.6 for now.
so after couple of months, i finally got my hands back onto this phone...
gave my friend my phone, so i could play a bit with this faulty one.
i have played with it for a couple of days now, and here are things i've tried.
i received it from a friend with 2.3.5 on it which had triggered custom binary counter. he's been using it for couple months without any problems.
so i rooted it and installed triangle away again... reset counter, cleared and flashed hungarian stock (telenor) 4.1.2... random freezes again.
tried several stock roms, mostly hungarian ones (4.0.3, 4.1.2). even reformatted with .pit file... random freezes.
reformatted again with .pit and put XXLSJ, installed stability test and let it run...
cpu stability test 15.5 hours no problems, no freezes. then i realized it didn't have a sim card, so i rebooted phone and installed sim card. let it test cpu+gpu for 9 hours... no errors, no problems, no freezes.
so i thought, maybe it's all fine? but it wasn't! as soon as i took phone into my hands and started going through menus it froze!
so i tried SGII_repair, rooted and did "repair"... but nothing changed... still random freezes.
if i just let it do the stability test, it'll probably work forever.
things i've noticed:
- serial number is wrong format (14 hex digits instead of 11 alphanumeric)
- during stability test, cpu frequency dropped from 1200 to 800 mhz (maybe because it was getting warmer? 42-43C during cpu only+charging battery, and about 39-40 during cpu+gpu test)
i tried to find out which firmware is latest according to serial number via kies, but it gave me error.
i know it's from hungarian market, but don't know which exact part of it (branded or not).
don't know what previous owners did to it, and don't have backups of original efs or anything original.
i just want to make it work, don't care much about custom firmwares. i'd be happy even with unrooted stock... just for it to work!
i have no ideas what else to do.
anyone?
finally, as i couldn't resolve the problem, i returned phone to 2.3.5 and sold it as is.
thanks to all people who tried to help.
cheers
Hey guys! This is my first thread here, but I knew this site before. I've got an M4 Aqua E2303, Android 5.0, Build 26.1.A.2.167 (upgraded from .99 with TWRP to keep the root.).
The story : I've got this phone like 4 months ago, I was so happy etc... After it updated to 5.0 it kept restarting randomly. Total random, when it was not under using, if I use it, it does not restart itself. Sometimes the restarts occurs when it's under charging, and sometimes when I want to unlock it and use it, and sometimes total randomly, and sometimes it shuts down. For different verions the problem was different too. On 26.1.A.2.99 it was the worst, it restarded and stuck on the boot screen until reached 0% battery. On 26.1.A.2.128 It turend off the screen, but the phone was running and the LED was red (even when fully charged) and only started with the hard off button in the SD card slot.
I've got the default "Diagnostics" app, now it says that the Phone got system errors 42 times in 10 days. It was worse before (over 140). But it doesn't say why did it restart, I'm hoping for help from any of you, who had this issue and solved it, or someone who knows a better diagnostic tool that will explain what caused the system fault.
I appreciate all the helps!
Have you performed a factory reset? (It will delete all your data and apps)

Yes, when the phone was new and the restarts were annoying. It fixed it for 1 day. The next day it was restarting again.
This would point to an app you've installed causing the issue. Factory reset again and install each app one by one until the restarts happen to find out which.
