You will need the MSL code, sprint gave it to me, I just asked.
OMG! Thanks. I believe you have just fixed my Evo.

For the past two months, I've had my phone reset (up to 30 times in a row) after using Google Nav (or maps) for even a couple of minutes. Of course it's always when I need to find a street and it does it's crap to me, leaving my phone useless for quite a while as it restarts over and over. Sometimes taking the battery out and resetting the Davik cache will fix it, but not always. I can tell you it's not a heat issue or anything so mundane.

I've reflashed and wiped so many times I can't count and it still always rebooted when using the GPS. Fortunately, I know this town pretty good. I'm using the custom OMJ rom.

I just tried your trick and tested it running an errand. Surprisingly, it didn't reboot once in five miles. It would have done it within a minute prior to clearing the radio (it did earlier today and rebooted 12 times before I yanked the battery). I've documented this information and will save this info for future reference. You may have just saved me from un-rooting and returning the cursed device to Sprint.
