New install, android keeps rebooting phone

abdeviation · #1 (**permalink**) 09-14-2010, 09:08 PM

So I just installed the newest version. I made sure I deleted the andboot folder and the "android" folder from my sd card before doing the installation. Now, when I run the startup utility, half the time the startup.txt file is empty (automagically). I then replace it with a fresh copy of startup.txt but then when it does boot, the unlock screen comes up and when I try to unlock, the phone just reboots. Any ideas?

Having the exact same issue on the 8/30 build. Re-downloading the .cab, formatting the SD card, deleting the overclock string in the startup.txt, etc... all don't seem to fix the issue

Any help out there on this one?

check your startup.txt theres a code in there hdw3d (i belive) if theres a 1 next to it thats the issue. change it to 0 and make sure there a sapce between the 0 and " so it should look something like hdwa3d=0 "

best thing to do for the startup.txt going blank is copy it place the copy in another folder rename it to default copy the default and place it back in the andboot folder.. atleast thats what i do..since my haret starts asking for default.txt instead of startup after the first boot.

this is same thing was happening to me when i installed it. so not even remembering that i still had it installed, i placed the phone on the charger over night. the next morning figured i'd try to run it again and it worked. i think it helps to have a full charge on the phone prior to use so that android doesn't think you're booting up with a low battery level. just my experience.

so i just went over to this thread over here and downloaded the startup.txt file they link to. ALso, make sure your sim card is out. Mine's working now! YEEE
