Random shutdowns, Boot Loop on recent Revolution HD flash. Rqr's battery pull

[OKors]

I recently rooted my Sensation 4G with Revolution HD 3.6.2 with Beats Audio. Prior to rooting the phone was pretty much stock and I’ve never installed, nor do I have any other roms installed on the phone other than the Rev HD rom.

Problem is, every couple days or so the phone randomly crashes and shuts down, then it goes into a boot loop where the HTC Quietly Brilliant splash screen appears, then the Beats Audio screen appears, then it shuts down and repeats until I pull the battery.

The crashes do not necessarily occur during process intensive moments either; for instance, last night I was filling out a “contact us” form on a web site and the phone shut down. Prior to that the last crash was during a game of Cut the Rope.
The shutdown appear random, not gaming specific, not web browser specific, not media playback specific…

I ran MD5 hash checks on both the Rom and the recommended radio before installing and both checked out good. No other weird hangups or issues when I installed the rom either, it was a very smooth-sailing clean install.

Hi,

Most random bootloops are kernel related.
Make a nandroid backup and try something like a kernel from show-p1984 :

Or this beta from faux:

According to the Rev HD changelog the kernel (2.6.35.14) is optimized with the ROM.
I'm a little reluctant to mess with anything kernel related if it's not bundled with the rom.

I'll wait a little while longer, hopefully others will chime in on flashing alt kernels with this the Rev HD rom.

Thanks for the links though, I'm still pretty new at this so everything I do to this phone is proceeded with caution.

3.1.1 is last stable ROM, for me...

Hi,

Others have had problems with bootlooping,and changed their kernels in order to fix it.
If you make a nandroid backup,you can't lose.
If it doesn't turn out ok,restore the original.
It's that simple.
You are not going to do any damage,and there is no danger.
Win,win situation...

I have got the same problems. Im addition, I kept the settings of the processor unchanged, I have wiped and installed v3.6.2 two times, formatted my SD-card (in case of viruses, you'll never know), but still having freezes, loops, crashes, etc. very annoying. Also removed the superuser update, in case of causing any disruptions.

I hope someone can help us out solving this anyhow (or in an updated ROM version). Do more users experience this?

Can the rom run the stock kernel? If so try that one.

And most reboots and boot loops are caused by kernels. For all that are wary of flashing kernels, don't be. If you are up to flashing roms, then kernels is simpler. Radio flashing is the one to be very careful with, but kernel changing is as simple as changing a font on the phone with metamorph.
