Unhappy [Q] Reboot every 5-10 minutes

Hello dear droid pro users, i bought a droid pro from ebay and just received it yesturday (Live in Kazakhstan, central asia). The phone i received reboots every 5-15 minutes with no particular reason. Here's what i tried to do, non of it helped:
1) Factory reset the phone from the phone settings - did not help
2) Hard reset by holding R and M button and swithching the phone on, then going to a reset and erase cache procedure - did not help
3) Updated the software through internet connecting the phone - did not help
3) Swithing between global mode/GSM/CDMA modes - did not help
4) Unmountind SD card and working without SD (maybe SD card was bricked) - did not help
5) Unmounted SIM card and used without network (thought it was conection issue) - did not help
6) Tacked off the battery for 1 hour :) - did not help
7) Did all procedures step by step done in followind post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923552 - did not help

Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or i just thow the phone away Thanks in advance

I think the initial run of phones was so-so quality wise. I have a reboot problem as well that seems to be linked to either the GPS subsystem and/or the charging subsystem.

Probably call Verizon at some point and ask for a warranty exchange.

One interesting point is that it does not rebbot when it's charging. Could a battery replacement solve this problem? Or it's the phone's power management problem?

I doubt that in this problem to blame the battery. In any case, flashing the device does not hurt. If firmware does not help then the problem is really in the gland.

I blamed the battery too, and found this kind of rare battery from someone else and tasted it... did not help. After several fission ROM'ing and flashing with no results, it's 98% problem of the phone hardware.

Hello Joeystarr,

did you ever find a solution? I have the same issue here... bought on ebay. Probably some sellers thing ebay is where to sell crap. Very bad.

Is it worth spending time digging and flashing or whatever?

edit: I solved using updated rom. Now locked once a day and that's it...

Thanks!
