I have a couple problems that I've been having since rooting my phone and installing cyanogen. I'm currently using cyanogenmod 4.2.2 with recovery 1.4 on my t-mobile g1. Also, I have the CM updater.
1. When I am using my stock headset, the phone restarts automatically at random intervals. Also, when the headphones are plugged in when the phone initially starts, the phone will definitely restart shortly after the home screen finishes loading.
2. When I am listening to music through the stock headset (either through the base music app or pandora) and I receive a call or text message, I lose all sound functionality (including in-call sounds) When this happens I have to unplug my phone and restart it again to regain sound functionality.
Are these bugs with the following that others are experiencing that can't be avoided:
1. cyanogenmod or
2. root or
3. cyanogen recovery 1.4?
Am I the only one that has had these problems? Is there another ROM that anyone would recommend that would most likely rectify this?
Help!!!!
I have the same problem.
No idea how to fix it?
G1
CyanogenMod 4.2.2
I think I fixed my own problem
I flashed this new radio:
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
Then I backed up my sd card, formatted it, and partitioned it into a main fat32 partition and a 500mb ex2 partition.
Then I wiped and re-flashed cyanogen 4.2.2 and it works!!!
Also, it took me a while to figure out how to partition my sd card. It seems there is no easy way to do this with windows vista. I had to use Ubuntu's partition manager called "gparted". Apparently this can be done without actually installing Ubuntu if you just boot from the CD, but my computer wouldn't read the sd card through Ubuntu until I installed ubuntu and downloaded the updates. Then when I was done I tried to delete the Ubuntu partition (VERY BAD IDEA). Now my computer won't boot at all and I have to find a way to re-write my master boot record (MBR) which I don't know how to do. CRAP!!!

Dude, take your HDD out of the computer, put it inside a USB enclosure and save your data, then just delete all partitions and install Windows again. Next time, you can just install Ubuntu from INSIDE Windows with "wubi.exe".
As for the sporadic resets, I am having the same problem. Only thing is: I had just flashed the 4.2.2 rom in the phone, wiped, and just then, being in the WC, I get a call, take the phone out of my pocket, it slips from my hand and drops right inside the can (yes, it had just been cleaned, Thank God), took it out fast enough, battery out. Couldn't find the screwdriver for it so I shook as much water as I could off, and let it dry in front of a full throttle fan for about 12 hrs.
It reset itself some times after that, but I don't know if the problem is the Rom, hope it is, (sorry). Next thing I know is, there's an update to ver. 4.2.5, so I updated, hasn't done it again yet, it's been 36hrs.
Hope I could help and anoy you some guys...
I have the same problem with my G1 (cyanogenMod-4.2.5 kernel 2.6.29.6-cm42 baseband 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I), had to change from cyanogenMod-3.6.6 hoping it will fix the reboot problem, but it doesn't change
I reformat SD card (1 Gb) and repartitioned it, doesn't fix the problem. The difference is that is reboots now less frequently (with cyanogenMod-3.6.6 it started reboot suddenly and did it every 20min - 3 hrs, now 1-3 times a day).
Seems that it somehow related to WiFi connection, and may be email receiving process (may be free space problem? But as far as i can check there is free space available on the SD card).
If with cyanogenMod-3.6.6 i could assume that some new installed application caused it, then with 4.2.5 i didn't install anything, and it starts rebooting again recently.
Is there a way to write a log or something to see which app caused reboot? It's linux anyway, so should be smth to see the reason, right?
Updated to CM-4.2.7.1 and added a 4GB Class 6 TF

LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER, NOT...
Just kidding, just couldn't let a chance like this pass me by, sorry .
2 days ago I changed the 2GB TF (which was a class 1) with a 4GB TF, now a class 6. Wiped the phone and added an ext3 1GB partition.
Yesterday I updated the CYanogen Mod to ver 4.2.7.1. Haven't seen another reset since, but it could be that I haven't used the phone much other than for phone calls since the update. But altogether it seems pretty stable.
I just used the cm-updater and everything was done automatically.
If you don't already have it, download it from the market, check for new roms and download the one I said. Please let us know if it makes any difference for you.

Hey everyone,
So I got my tablet today and have been working on it for the past 8 hours!! I finally got CWmod on it and running. Had a nightmare of a time getting it to work correctly and after using NVFLASH to nuke the whole tablet and install the stock ROM, then updating i was able to get CWmod to run. Now I'm having a really odd issue.
I can boot into CWmod. I repartitioned the SD card, mounted it. I can see the device in windows but when I add ANYTHING to the internal SD card it is completely gone once I reboot the device. I'm trying to get a ROM on it but it's like the drive is locked or something really weird. It copys onto the tablet just fine. the second I reboot everything is deleted.
I feel like I'm missing something here. I had that issue with it when I ran the stock ROM. I could change something and it would not stick after a reboot. For example registering my device on kindle and then downloading books. as soon as I reboot the machine it's as if i never registered it. I'm really at a loss as to what to do with this. I can't seem to get it to save anything on the internal storage.
Well after fiddling with it for a while longer I'm about to give up. I used NVFLASH to get it to the stock ROM again. updated to 3588 and yet again, I can't get any changes to stick. I can change anything and everything on it while it's powered on. The second I power it off and reboot it nukes everything I did (and takes close to 5-6 minutes to boot). I even mounted it and deleted every single file on the internal storage. They all came back upon reboot. I reformatted the entire SDCARD, I reformatted all the user data, did a cache wipe.. nothing works. I'm wondering if my unit is defective? at this point I would love to just have a tablet that I can actually use. I can't understand how it's even possible to not be able to make any changes on the device unless it's reinstalling the ROM everytime I reboot?
What version of CWM are you using and how did you install it?
I was running CWM 8. I couldn't install it via the internal storage. It would boot into recovery mode and "install" but once the machine rebooted it would not boot into CWM. I tried it several times same deal. I could install it but once it rebooted, nothing :/..
So I had to use the micro SD card to install it. I edited the recovery command file and pointed it to the SDCARD2. It installed finally, and stuck!
I tried using the microSD card to install the other ROMs. But unfortunately it will not mount in CWM.
I'm trying to get CWM back on it after doing yet another wipe with NVFLASH. We'll see if I can get it to work..
So i'm basically sitting here with a brick.. unless I never power it off lol!
Ok well another odd thing is going on with this. I'm up and running with CWM 08 again. I can turn on USB mass storage mount. The tablet shows up in windows and on my linux box. I can make whatever changes I want, adding files, deleting everything on it. Nothing matters cause once I unmount and remount the device it's all back to normal. It seems like nothing is allowed to write to the internal storage even though it thinks it does write to it??
So, there I was happily running Sense 3 Pr4 and Dream Kernel 2.0.3 with the MR2.5, decide to reboot my phone before bed to let it charge at a decent rate, starts just booting over and over. Hits lockscreen, freeze, reboot. Annoyed I figure, ok, I'll go flash the kernel again, flashes pretty instantly, odd, but whatever, reboot... loops. So fine, I'll do a full recovery.... no recovery files... ok, I'll wipe data etc and install my rom zip off the card... [bad]. WTF? put the sd card in my laptop, all the folders are on my sd card, but noooo files, and the couple files that are left are 0kb, what the hell happened to all my stuff? any advice or help? Pretty please? got a recovery software, gonna see what I can salvage, but what happened here?!
i dont think that i have heard of this before. not with phones at least. sounds like ur card got formatted or something. u should be able to reformat the card and install all the roms, file system, etc u need from ur computer. it might be worth it to try to put some stuff on the card from ur computer to see if it will take. maybe a bad card ??? im not sure there is a complete reformat type of recovery out there. good luck.
Yep, I swear it has something to do with the modded USB Mount apk. I have heard of this happening a few times now.
I try to keep a backup of my SD on my lappy.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Never really thought of this happening, definitely gonna be backing up from now on. Got back some pics, but lost camera videos of the kids, unrecoverable.
I got my Inspire and used it normally for about a month. Then I rooted it and tested out about 5 different ROMs and came to like Android Revolution for it's Gingerbread and Sense 2.0 that could have parts of it individually upgraded. (That's besides the point)
Anyway, as it only comes with an 8 GB microSD I looked on ebay for a 16 GB microSD and found one for about $20 or something, class 4. Anyway, I basically hooked up my phone with the old SD card in it, copied the entirety of its contents and then ejected the SD card and put in the new one. Pasted the contents from the old onto the new. Worked fine for a time. Now my phone will occasionally get stuck in a loop of boot animation, starting and working for 1 minute, then going back to the boot animation. I also noticed that any app installed to my SD through ZDBox becomes unusable. I then have to go back to the market and reinstall the apps as trying to restore from my Titanium Backup doesn't work.
I also have noticed that my photos and music can't be accessed. I even looked with root explorer and on my computer and can't find my music or photos at all. I've tried syncing using DoubleTwist and by copying and pasting the folders from the old SD to the new SD in the same directories.
Finally, just a bunch of force-close issues with everything on the phone. Using Rom Manager to Fix Permissions fixes things for a while but then it restarts.
I know it's a lot to read, but I don't know what is causing this and how to fix this. I even tried restoring a backup I had made, but it only resumed about 3 hours later. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
Things I would do:
If AR requires EXT4 sd card (it will say on the front page, and I believe it does)
-Format your sd card.
-Follow the steps for converting it to EXT 4 ( should be found on the front page)
-Create a back up with recovery or rom manager.(it doesn't matter which)
-Retain the 8gig back up.
-Wipe your phone through recovery (not through rom manager.)
-Redownload the rom.
-Re flash the rom.
Thanks, I'll be sure to try this later tonight.
Hate to reopen this topic, but when I tried to reflash the ROM, I was greeted with a an error saying I cannot open "(insert filename here).zip (bad)".
I've looked, and tried a couple of solutions other people have had, but so far they haven't worked. What can someone suggest?
I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the md5 checksums are different and don't match. I've downloaded AR HD about 5 times and moved to the phone. I get a different md5 checksum everytime.

Thanks for the advice. The checksum for the downloaded ROM matched, then I pasted it onto the SD and it matched when I checked it on the computer. Then I went into recovery and tried to load it and it's still giving me a the file bad error. I checked the checksum through recovery and it was a completely different checksum.
I'm really confused as to why I'm having these issues.....
make sure you disconnect the phone/sd card properly - sometimes the OS will report the file has fully written but the cache is still writing the file. If you can, use a service like dropbox or another file sharing (via web) and download the rom directly to the sd card - might get better results.
No need to bring back a very old thread. Thread closed
I just found I have an issue copying files from my PC to my SGS3. The error I get is " Device stopped responding or is disconnected" (on my pc). It worked days ago, and it worked on the current ROM I'm using. I can't think of anything else I could have done to mess it up. This happens when trying to copy anything to the Ext card or internal storage. Here's the kicker: now I can copy small files, but big zip files are a no go. Before I couldn't copy anything. All I did was reboot phone and PC, and looked into phone with Root Explorer, no changes.
I can copy files FROM the phone to PC but not to the phone from PC. How could this change literally overnight?? I did find a way to add Google Wallet to the phone. Could that have possibly been it?? Flashing a new ROM right now, gonna see if it helps.
New ROM didn't help. Still same issue.
*Update* Next day, I tried once again just for fun. And now it works fine! I did nothing to correct it. I did however reflash the ROM that the problem first arose. But I still don't get how that's even related to the ext sdcard. And how did it fix itself??? Would still like to know why it happened!

I had this EXACT same problem a few weeks ago. I'm not saying this is the case for you, but I found out that when I tried to batch transfer certain files, one of the files was corrupt. I eliminated whatever the culprit file was and was able to transfer. The strange thing is, it only happened when I tried transferring from internal to external as well, as if something in the transfer corrupted one of my files. So I started transferring files one by one, and the problem seems to be temporarily eliminated. Check to see if the zip file became corrupted in some way. Hope this helps.

I can transfer from ext to internal. I just can't transfer anything larger than a few MB. The zip files I'm trying are ROM zips so they are very large. Can't find anyone with this exact issue. I just flashed a new ROM, before that I formatted my sdcard. No idea what's wrong. Thanks for the reply though!

No problem at all. Do you think it's possible that the format you formatted the sdcard in may possibly be causing the issue? I've heard cases that incorrect formatting can block file transfers if over so many MBs, GBs, etc.

I had this exact problem as well. After a lot of trial and error, I gave up on the native MTP file transfer method, and went with ADB instead.
I use a very nicely done GUI on top of ADB to do all my file transferring called QtADB. Just install the Android SDK first, and then the GUI.

I'm going to try and find the adapter that came with the micro card. I've read where some people having this issue have to use the adapter to plug into the PC directly to copy files. What I don't get is how it just happened all of a sudden. It was working just a few days ago, I loaded a bunch of music no problem as well as ROMs to flash. Very weird. It has to be a setting somewhere lol.

Just for grins, I hooked my phone up again to see by chance if it would work. Guess what? It works WTF?????? That's the craziest thing. I am back on the original ROM I had installed when the problem arose. But I just don't see how that's possible. UGGGGHHH
