Help out if you can!
When I put the phone on charger it freezes and I cannot do anything with it: it wont unlock and the area around camera and the sd card gets really hot.
I had it checked by official service, and they changed the usb plug, but the problem persits. I had official 2.3.5 rom, now switched to Thaiz 03D rom, baseband is, as suggested v21d.
I am missing calls and alarms when the phone is charging.
ANY help really appreciated

I've had this problem. I dont know exactly what fixed it but i made a backup folder of all the contents of my SD card on my computer, Erased it completely, then restored all the stuff i needed. I also Wiped Data, Wiped cache, and wiped davlik cache, then flashed a new ROM and it fixed it. the reason why i cleared my SD card was because my SD card was over using power i think and was killing my battery. Re-Seating the SD card also might help.
Hope this works out for you and i know its a pain in the ass but it worked.
EDIT: i forgot to mention this. when you're done with all this Charge your phone to Full battery and Wipe battery stats.

Thanks for your answers, I do not have an ICS theme installed.
@ Gunraykilla
Will try to erase all: I did reset cache, but I never deleted all the files from my internal memory, and the SD card, it may be the culprit.
Thanks. I will backup everything, there is not much to lose now ;-)

No luck, did everything as described, still getting SOD, mainly when the phone is fully charged... Damn
Try resetting phone to factory default (although you probably already do when installing the rom) if this did not work. You have a hardware issue it sounds like a short circuit (loose contact) as it is heating the phone most of the procesors will freeze

Hi guys,
I am little bit tired of using many ROMs on my smart phone. It's been a long time that I started flashing it. I have tried all of the updated roms but recently I am having a kind of stressful trouble with my phone. Whatever is the rom doesnt matter after few hours phone crashes on black screen and doesnr response, after replacing the battery or long time pressing power button it restarts and seems ok but after few minutes or hours it does it again. this trouble has become a regular issue.
the second thing is phone says your internal sd card is umounted unexpectedly and the series of errors begin. all of the errors are blocking to reach the settings and even cant see which applications are runing.
I have suspicions on a virus or kind of spyware has inoculated to my phone or it's kernel file system (but after flashing it should be gone right? must not continue in new flashed rom)
this problem occur after even after the new rom is installed (i use odin 1.83 for flashing and i dont do any rooting/deodexing)
if you can help me on this I would be glad.
Better post on QandA thread.. What you are experiencing is SOD which is common in KP7 and in OC'd kernel of SGSL.. Did you flash and overclocked kernel? If so then that's the cause of SOD..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
actually I am using XXKB3 rom but at this time I am trying to understand what is the cause of this problem, I red some discussions on HTC desire likely same problem called "aka black death" so they argue about the same problem but no solution and no exact reason is mentioned.
My phone is not rooted, not deodexed, any cpu overclock application is not installed, it's just flashed with XXKB3.
by the way same situation is valid in each rom without rooting, deodexing and cpu overclocking.
that's why I am confused
since you have tried "many ROMs", surely you at least have CWM, and made a full backup of your stock kb3 ROM before testing others, so you could easily go back to one that you know works, right?
if not, you at least ensured to do factory reset, wipe partition, and clear dalvik cache each time you installed a new ROM, right?
if not, then the reason you're having problems is because there's old stuff fighting on your phone, and you need to follow those steps properly next time
actually I did that things each time I installed those roms, except clearing dalvik cache via titanium backup, cause this thing needs root permission.
this time according to your advise I'll root my phone and write back about what happens. soon

Uh? You would not have CWM without root? If you have CWM, you obvi. should have root?
I even didnt update CWM after loading new ROMs. (while I am living that troubles)
unfortunately
no development on black screen crash and still unmounts the internal sd card unexpectedly so problem goes on and still I am on investigation.
clearing dalvik cache and rooting and playing with cpu clock speed also doesnt effect this thing.
I need to report this that after phone sleeps when somebody calls me it's not responsing no melody, no signal on screen, even no light or awakening
but it rings at caller's phone.

I am sure you have flashed the BOOTLOADER, PHONE and CSC of KP9 or KP7. Else, you would not have faced this problem. A factory reset and a CLEAN GB flash would do the solution!

"playing with cpu speed", as far as I know, means you installed a non-stock kernel, which may be known to cause SOD, among other things. trying to do stuff while in that case can cause other errors to occur as well. if that's the case, try flashing back to the stock kernel in the same thread you got the overclocked kernel rom, and if not, remove whatever app you installed that's allowing you to adjust your cpu speed and see if it helps
P.S., it's becoming obvious you've done more with your phone than you're revealing, which isn't helping us troubleshoot your problems:

is what you originally said, but as far as I know, you can't adjust cpu speed in the kernel provided, unless it's an overclocked kernel. providing inaccurate information makes it harder to get the proper answers.
try listing all the things you've done, send screenshots of your phone's "about phone" screen, showing kernel, build, etc.
Srry to break it to ya mate... But since your internal SD seems to be unmounting and your phone seems to be SOD-ing, you need to reflash to stock and send it to the service center for repair.
This isn't a support forum, although we are willing to help to the best of our knowledge. Hope you get this sorted out mate!

Let me share the latest info...
after trying to use my phone without external sd card, black screen problem has gone, phone is waking after pushing power button,
but this unmounting internal sd card unexpectedly and application errors still continues. After unmounting it mounts sd card back (by itself) and scans, but then I can not start any of the settings or system applications cause it gives errors and closes. if I insist to open a system application it phone is freezing and not responding. and then I have to reset it to turn normal. and unmounting problem goes for a short time...
if there will be no solution as Erahgon said I will take it to the warranty service installed with a stock rom.
for now I am still using the
Baseband: I9003XXKB1
stock rom: FROYO.XWKB1
Kernel Ver. : 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
didnt root it,
didnt deodexed,
didnt cleared dalvik cache,

download screen off frm the market ..
its the only solution fr the sods !
Hey guys,
Just want to say again how awesome this forums is. I have a Sprint Shift that I flashed 2 weeks ago with CM7 and it has been nice and stable, love it.
However, I have an issue now. It seems that my signal has gotten very poor and often switches to roaming and then back and is still worse in the same areas where I was pre-flashing and rooting.
Does rooting and flashing affect the PRL at all (I had to downgrade etc...)?
And how can I easily upgrade to the latest PRL? I am not interested in the Verizon PRL since I don't want to get kicked off for excessive roaming.
I searched some posts and the process seemed confusing and one talked of a different program that makes it easier but never went into details.
Would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

Make a nandroid backup of your CM7 rom. Flash a stock sense rom like Synergy and update your prl and profile. Sometimes I do it twice just to make sure Make sure you are updated to the latest radio's both wimax and cellular radio's before you update your prl though.
When you downgrade with root it's flashing older radio's onto your device including wimax radio.
Next restore cm7 nandroid backup, hope that helps.

Thanks guys. I did read that thread but I'm not sure what a Nandroid backup is.
Is that form the boot screen from the clockwork app? It just backs everything up to the SD card?
Now when I flash to the Synergy ROM do I have to follow the same steps I did for CM7? Like clear the caches and all those steps that I followed when I installed CM7?
Lastly, how can I make sure to update to the latest radio??
Thank you so much for your help guys, I was beginning to think that Sprint started to suck and that I Would have to switch carriers.
Also, I am having trouble figuring out which radio to flash. CDMA or Wimax? Is this something that I do when I reload synergy or flash after I load CM7 again?
But mostly I don't know which version to download. Thanks so much for your help in advance.

You make a nandroid backup in recovery, it's the backup option in the backup/restore menu. It will make a complete backup of your current ROM and can be restored on the same menu.
Whenever you flash a fresh ROM you need to fully wipe. Wiping cache, dalvik and data.. Optionally formatting system and data.
For the radios check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082192
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Yeah basicly what crump said. Just make sure before flashing the radio's in hboot/bootloader that you wipe cache/dalvik-cache in recovery or just do a data factory wipe. When I installed the radio's it was before a lot of knew that not wiping cache and dalvik-cache could make it so your phone won't boot, so I just ended up having to pull my sdcard out in order to boot into recovery to wipe. As soon as I wiped I powered off my phone, put my sdcard back in and it booted justed just fine.
Thanks so much guys!
So I just checked the PRL on my phone and it is already the latest PRL... So it must be the older radios that are causing the issue?
So can I just flash the new radios right now with the current CM7 rom that I have?
Would I still need to clear the cache etc.. if it's possible to do it to my existing rom?
Also, do I select from Froyo-Based RUUs or Gingerbread RUUs?
Thanks again everyone
And just a heads up, you can't update prl using synergy rom, as the feature doesn't work properly...

You should be able to update with your current Rom. The most recent Radios are for CDMA: 1.08.00.0506 , and for WiMax: 27240. Just make sure you follow the instructions on the thread.
And if your still stuck while reading the instructions there is a video in the development section. Can't link you to it cause I'm on my phone

Oh man, thank you guys so much BUT,
I followed the video exactly.
I first wiped the dalvik and cache, rebboted my phone, then shut down. and booted into hboot.
Followed the video everything went smooth, pressed power to reboot after everything got updated.
Now my phone is stuck at the HTC Screen! Help, I don't know what happened or what to do, I followed all the instructions exactly! I cant use my phone!
Nevermind guys, I panicked but kept reading. Saw someone post this
"Remove ur battery then ur sdcard. Power up into recovery (hold volume down + power) wipe dalvik cache and cache partition, then reboot. After reboot, power down again insert ur sdcard and power ur phone like normal and u should be all good. Just happened to me this morning and its all good now!"
Did exactly that and it worked! Thanks soo much everyone, you guys are the best!

That's why I said both here and in the radio thread that I did a data factory reset before flashing the radios. It doesn't seem like wiping cache's always helps to avoid getting stuck on the splash screen, having to pull battery and sdcard ect.

Flashing radios will screw up your boot. Definitely need to wipe /system, and more importantly format /cache partition via advanced -> mounts and storage in CWM, as well as dalvik and reflash your rom after flashing either the Wimax or cellular radios. I've gotten stuck at the white HTC screen a billion times. Might even want to try booting up with a blank SD card or a different SD card. It seems that my SD card has some corruption because when I plug my phone in via usb or via sd card reader windows asks to scan the sd card. So I plan on formatting my SD card soon. But either way I was stuck at the white HTC screen after flashing my radio and tried everything and it didn't start booting my rom until I put in a blank SD card.
Also regarding PRLs: I'm back on PRL 60683 and off of 11115. I think I'll be staying here.

They'd only affect mobile data performance. 11115 didn't seem to be roaming on to Verizon anymore and I had issues with connectivity stability so I went back to the latest Sprint PRL (60683)
So about two weeks ago Ive noticed my infuse starting to get laggy. Now its laggy all the time. Ive tried reinstalling CM7 and nothing, Ive installed CM9 and it still lags. can anybody help with this?
Did you try any other ROMs and noticed similar behavior?
If you use Google voice it will cause that. Make sure when you first reinstall a rom don't add any apps... run it and see if its laggy. If not install your apps you always use one at a time... if after installing one Ans you notice lag you got your culprit. GV used to do this to my aria

Ever since I flashed my first ROM, my phone will start doing random bootloops. The part that is WEIRD about this, is that it only seems to happen between about midnight and 8am. I'm on my phone a lot during the day and it runs fine. It will occasionally (maybe 2-3 times a week) freeze up and need a battery pull, but it's fine otherwise.
But in the late evening, it will get weird. And there's no real key to what is setting it off. Sometimes it will start a boot loop around 12:30/1:00am but with a battery pull and reboot, it's fine until the next night. Sometimes it will start a boot loop around 6am and it's the same thing. I will occasionally have to try a few times to get it to quit looping, but it seems like once 8am rolls around, it quits.
I'm fairly certain this has to do with the fact I'm running custom ROMS, but what is it that is setting it off? I had this issue with CoreDroid and Honey SmartDroid. It was much worse with CoreDroid, and in reading through that massive thread, it was decided that it just didn't play well with a handful of phones. Some hardware issue. (which made me sad because I loved CoreDroid, but didn't want to risk my phone getting bricked since I'm out of warranty and too close to a renewel to pay the insurance claim) Honey SmartDroid didn't do it the first few nights, but then it started in.
I've tried changing my charging cable (I usually recharge at night, and thought that might be it) as well as not recharging at night. With both ROMs, I did a total wipe and re-installed, letting it run for a few days without any extra apps installed (except for a basic few, such as update to Facebook, Gtask, etc). Nothing that I can think of that changes any of my phone settings during those hours. It does it anyway.
I haven't tried running anything closer to stock ROM for more than a few hours because they honestly bore me now that I've seen how awesome of the other ones are. So I don't know if switching back would solve the boot loop issue. But if I need to do that to prevent damage to my phone, I will. I just want to know what's causing the boot loops and why only during those hours?
Thanks!
Have you tried formatting your sd card and full wipe and reflash rom. Also it is known that when a battery starts to go bad it makes the phone reboot several times on its own. Being it goes into bootloop at night when you are charging phone would give me the impression that the culprit would be the battery.

I haven't tried formatting the sd card. When I do that, do a do a new backup on that sd card? Or just put the ROM zip on the card and go from there? It might be the battery, I hadn't thought about that. I did consider that it might be the charging cable, but it will do it regardless of whether the phone is charging or not. The phone is about a year and a half old, so the battery could well be going on it.
Sorry don't want to sound mean but there is lots of threads that all have this issue with the "random" reboots or I have search all over the place but my "issue" is different.
Look up the title random reboots in this forums or PD98 IMG etc..
I'm sure you will find the issue before yet another reboot thread gets closed..again..

Do a nandroid backup then copy everything on your sd csrd to a folder on your computer then format the card. Then place rom on sd do a full wipe
1. factory wipe
2. cache wipe
3. advance> dalvik wipe
4. go back> wipe phone partitions (except sd card)
then flash rom see if that helps if you still have the issue then cheapest route would be replace battery which I think is your culprit. Good luck.
Your rom backup will be located in the clockworkmod folder in case you have any issues.

My apologies. I did try to do a search, but that vast majority of the results dealt with ROMs that I'm not running, boot loops that couldn't be stopped, or phones that I don't own. I honestly didn't see any that dealt with a phone that reboots only during certain hours. I understand how frustrating it is to have newbies constantly asking the same questions over and over, which is why I tried to avoid that. I will look up PD98 IMG and see where that gets me, as well as go through the threads from the other ROMs.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you so much for your detailed response. I'll give that a try tonight while I'm also researching the other threads I was told to go through. I'll let you know how it worked out.
No need to say sorry lol...your ok just hate so the new ones get cyber yelled at by some mod and close your thread and not getting your answer.
But even though it maybe not be for the rom that your running but also check out the Q&As of those Roms.
And also I know the htc inspire thread for ROMs is always on top of the game here but just letting you know as well Desire HD forums is I would say you should go for the most recent ROMs and updates etc.. And yes Desire HD can be used for the Htc Inspire so thats where Im at for the most part..
But if you ever get a boot loop form a rom you flash make sure you fully wipe (sorry just funny every time.you will see what I mean) from rom to rom unless other wise...If you still happen to have the PD98IMG file still on your sd card happens when you 1st root and for get that its there delete I use Es File Explorer to find whats on the sd card there are others astro file manager. Also This happen to me once when I flash scripts,gps fix, kernels then the rom that I was going to use and it just totally F'd my phone or re boots random or just gets stuck on the htc screen..
But I had made this post for another user (new) maybe this may help:
So this is an idea of what I do when I flash a rom and some other ideas/tips.
Getting Started or Flashing A Rom:
Once you root your phone (this is not in any order really) you should get ROM Manager aka Clock Work Mod. Once you get that, open the CWM and the first top half you will see flash clockworkmod recovery make sure your on wifi I would at least for the updates. You will see a dialog box click desire hd. This will allow you to make back ups of your settings that you made when you flash a rom its always a good idea to make your backups its a life save!! So, once you made your back up and this is what I do.. I plug in my phone to the pc switch to disk mode which will let you see whats on your sd card. Since you flash the CWM and recovery you will see on your sd card a folder called clockworkmod open then backups folder you will see you back that you made, drag and drop that backup file that you made to your fold that you made on pc to save it for later. And thats pretty much how I save my backups of roms etc.. Now if you need to load that back up just plug phone in disk mode cwm fold>backup drag and drop back up that you need. And boot into recovery mode and select back up and restore and select restore and the file boot and your good..
I would download which Rom I would like to use. Save it to pc to a folder that I have made that I store all my roms, backups,radios & rils, kernels..etc.. just to keep myself organized. Once you get your rom just drag and drop it to the ROOT of the sd card do NOT add it in any folder thats on the sd card. Once you have it on the card just boot into recovery flash your rom.. Other then that its easy to flash the rom.. And when you get all your settings set up make a back up and when done save it to the pc and delete it from the sd card if you dont want to keep on the card I do that..
When it comes to battery life it depends on what the rom.. But I like to use killers http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ht=killersolth scripts for the kernels.. For me I always flash a different kernel upon flashing a new rom. For me having the kernel and killers script is the best combo for me to have for performance and battery life.. now since I have inspire I use the uv lites scripts.
For the most part flashing radios & Rils you would never really need to do that so I wouldnt recommend it for now maybe later but read about it its good to know what it does..
Other sides which I for got to add.. When you flash a new rom its always good to wipe user data.,cache, delvik it makes it for a good clean install with other roms..
Also the desire HD thread which the inspire can use the roms from that thread to.
Well I hope this helps you in any way.. if you need help PM me best of luck
SORRY FOR SUCH A LONG POST HAHA

Do a nandroid backup then copy everything on your sd csrd to a folder on your computer then format the card. Then place rom on sd do a full wipe
1. factory wipe
2. cache wipe
3. advance> dalvik wipe
4. go back> wipe phone partitions (except sd card)
then flash rom see if that helps if you still have the issue then cheapest route would be replace battery which I think is your culprit. Good luck.
Your rom backup will be located in the clockworkmod folder in case you have any issues.

I wanted to update.
This worked great. I followed the instructions and have not had one boot loop or freeze up since. I already hit the "Thanks" button, but I wanted to thank you again for taking time to help out.

What do you mean update what Rom are you using again because if whatever Rom your using in the op should be an update if the dev made one. If I'm not mistaken once your rooted and try to do a system update the phone will freeze up.

By update, I meant that I wanted to give an update on the issue I was having. Not update my ROM. Sorry for the confusion.

I've had AOKP (can't remember which version..) installed for a while now and it's been acting funny, boot looping from time to time, but a simple battery pull fixed it each time.
Today I was turning off the phone to switch out the battery, and pulled out the battery before it had finished shutting down the "proper" way. Now when I turn it on, it gets stuck at "Initiating Swagger" with the pink unicorn. I've tried wiping the dalvik cache and formatting /cache.
I'd like to preserve some of the photos and texts, as well as all my apps which I, completely stupidly, didn't back up with Titanium Backup even though I've been meaning to for a little while now. I'm ready to reset and install a new rom if I have to, but I was wondering if there was a simple fix I'm overlooking since all I did was pull the battery out too early, rather than having done anything substantial like installing a new rom. Really appreciate any help, I've been phoneless all day and would love to not go through the motions of a whole new rom.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND

Looks like pulling the battery while it was shutting down corrupted some essential scripts on your device. So you have to flash a Rom to fix this. Dont worry coz there is something i do which can help you if you want to keep your apps n all. What you have to do is take a clockwork mod recovery backup right now. Then wipe everything including data,cache and dalvik cache. Now flash your Rom. If you want your apps n all then flash the same Rom you had. Now after it is flashed and working, boot to cwm recovery. select backup and restore then go for advanced restore. Select the backup you took. And restore data alone. This should make your phone look like it had never been flashed again with the Rom. Just like you had it before. And if even now the bootloop continues, do the same but first flash the kernel then Rom then do what i asked you to do. Hopes this helps...
Thanks man, that's a great idea, I didn't even think of that. Unfortunately I tried it, without and then with the kernel and it still didn't work.
What I ended up doing (for any of our posterior who happen upon this post) is installed the newest version of AOKP (which I actually didn't have previously), and downloaded an app called nandroid manager, which pulls apps/data, SMS messages, call logs, everything from any nandroid backup. I'm restoring all my stuff right now. Thank god.
Interestingly enough, even after I wiped everything multiple times, when I connected my phone to the computer it had all my photos & other data still on the internal storage. Weird as hell. But whatever.

That's because a wipe does not affect sd card or internal storage

Well.. It do affect internal memory on low phones. I am not sure bout devices having large internal storage but wiping data usually removes everything on my internal.
