Strange restarting at boot up

[Vinsane]

So recently im getting a strange restarting of my phone right after a restart or a boot up.

It doesn't fully shut off and start up..it seems to be like a soft reboot and it just starts up the entire home screen again.

I've noticed 2 weird things on when its happening...usually when the automatic time and date update...or when USB media scan is running or is about to be complete.

I've fixed permissions ..kept my clock speed at stock.

I'm running BeastMod 4.2 with the latest Synergy kernel ...and Go Launcher Ex.

I've flashed other kernels too and it's happened with all.

Eventually ..after a few battery pulls and a bunch of full blown restarts...it stabilizes and runs like it should.

Ideas?

I was having this problem with my first SGS2 and I tried every rom out at the time and nothing worked so I just exchanged it and I haven't had any problems with the new one I got.
Mine started doing since day one.

Did yours just start or did it have that problem from the get go.

It happened pretty much after my first kernel flash...and was on stock rom too. That's when I pulled the trigger to go with a custom rom hoping it would fix it.

Dang it...I don't want to have to deal trying to get it back to stock.

Do you mind sending me the same message too? I'm having this problem with a few different mods. I had it with Domination 2.0 and with Juggernaut 4.1. It happened really badly when I was at the airport. After I changed my phone from airplane mode to non-airplane mode, and when I started trying to do stuff soon after it started, it would go into an endless reboot loop. It wouldn't restart fully, but the screen would go off for a few seconds, then I would see my lockscreen again. It would go through this process about 4-7 times before finally stabilizing.

I really don't want to get a new phone because I just paid to have an invisible shield installed around the full body less than a week ago. Thanks!

Did you have this problem being stock or just after flashing roms?

Interesting enough.. I did a test.. I restarted WITHOUT my external SD card... and guess what... of booted up fine. Looks like I have something going on with my external card.. but it works just fine... so a conflict somewhere. I went through the card last night and deleted some stuff... but after I put the card back in... boom...started to happen again.

I'm either going to try to copy things over and format the card.. or just get a new card.

Try it out and let me know what you guys get too.

Getting a new card wont do much if the data on the card is what's causing your phone to go haywire.

Do you have apps stored on your SD card?

I'm sure I have some on there... app...but I've checked any folders that seem "off"...and delted a lot of those... so mainly what's left are pics and music... haven't had a chance to format the card to see if that works... and I could be totally off base with this too. Just trying different things before the last resort of getting a replacement phone.

I have been having this exact same problem for a while now. I have tried it on three phones that I've had (original, replacement, and another new one). No matter what rom/kernel i've tried, same thing all the time. I have wiped many a times, fresh installs, formatted memory card, tried without memory card, and same thing. I have never had this problem with HTC phones and really have no idea what to do anymore. Just how weird that everything works well on stock.

Well... mine for sure is my SD card gone wonky... I've done 5 seperate no SD inserted tests... and then insert SD after its already booted up and working fine.

Once I inserted the SD... it would go through the scan and crash.

After a bunch or retries... battery pulls etc.. it finally settles down and works fine.

For yours that its not the SD... call T-Mobile... they were ready to replace mine.

If the memory card was corrupt, wouldn't the phone have issues even on a stock non-rooted phone? I'm asking cuz my phone works great on stock non-rooted, but once I root and upload a custom rom, everything goes haywire. Im trying to find out what the problem may be.

Actually this problem for me started even when I was on a stock ROM...I'm not sure how long after rooting... I wonder if rooting had something to do with it? This issue is one of the reasons why I went ahead on to a custom ROM thinking it would fix it... it was fine for a while.. then started up again.

I'm not sure. I haven't bought a new external SD yet to test my own theory.. haha
