Sprint TP2 reboots itself randomly.
 
Anybody having a problem with your phone rebooting itself? My wife and I both have Sprint Touch Pro2 phones and both of them reboot on their own a couple of times a day. It happened with both the 6.1 and 6.5 official Sprint roms and the Juicy rom. The only common things between the phones besides the stock software is Mobile Xpression software and we both sync live.com mail as items arrive. Anyone else have this problem or have Mobile Xpression or live mail without this problem.

Thanks.

Can you provide a link or some more advice as to what you mean? I just posted this before this thread was posted. Same issue as this poster.

Sprint 1.96 Radio is junk and is the cause of the resets.

If you don't want to unlock your phone: (Haven't tested this myself)
There is a newer radio 2.32 that sprint released with 6.5 but I have not tried it yet but it MAY fix the issue (link below)

If you have unlocked your phone: (This is what worked for me so I can vouch for this)
I am using USC_2.05WV and it fixed my reseting issue, but you must be flash unlocked to install it (link below)

He said he is getting resets WITH THE NEW STOCK ROM (6.5) as well as with older one - correct? This new ROM has radio 2.32.00WF. He wouldn't be running 1.96 if he's using the official stock ROM of 3/19, right?

OP, as far as reporting issues with custom ROMS, leave those separate from discussion of OFFICIAL roms. Many of us choose to stay stock specifically for this reason. Dont muddy the water, so to speak. It sounds like youre saying every rom you tried gave you resets. In that case, I'd look at the software youre using.

If he is having problems with the radio in 6.5 then that radio may still have the issue..either way the USC radio fixed it for me..that I can vouch for.

I've run both Sprint stock Radios with Custom ROMs and never had a random reboot.

It's not the radio.

I only flashed new stock ROM to get new radio and then immediately went back to Calkulin's Kitchen and is running great.

This does not effect everyone but a few and ONLY effects sprint (and its not everyone on sprint but no one outside of sprint had this issue)..it may be just the towers in our area are playing bad or etc..

But I had resets and USC radio fixed it..so I am giving a solution that worked for me...I tried EVERY ROM and all had reset issues..I flashed the USC radio and it was fixed...that is all I can say.

when you flash the stock rom were you connected via activesync? if not then you didn't get the full package.
flashing via bootloader &or card, will unbrick, but once it's running, re-flash by running the exe after activesync connects.

I haven't had a reboot since the upgrade to 6.5 yesterday. I used to experience it several times daily with 6.1

I'm having the same problem with 6.5 stock rom on sprint. 6.1 was actually better. I'm averaging 3 random reboots a day since friday when I loaded 6.5.

Yes I updated through activesync and my radio is 2.32.00WF. I am using the stock sprint 6.5 rom and will try the radio fix in post 4 and let you guys know if I have any more reboots.

Thanks.

Re: Sprint TP2 reboots itself randomly.
 
I went to update the radio and I just checked even before doing it, it already says 2.32.00WF for my radio version. Plus the update utility from the other PPCGeeks post didn't work at all, would go past the updater (tri-colored screen) and show that it was updating and then nothing else happened.

BTW, I didn't update using Activesync, I used the extract the NBH to my Micro SD card and rename it RHODIMG.nbh and restart into update mode.

I was never bricked, it's just that my USB claims not to trickle enough juice to charge/sync the device which is why I choose the MicroSD card upgrade method.

Are you unlocked for flashing?

Edit: When using USB method of flashing it does not charge during the flashing, this is normal, you should be atleast 50% charged before flashing but 100% is suggested.

It flashed perfectly fine, which leads me to believe the answer to your question is Yes.

The 2.32.00WF Radio you don't need to be unlocked to flash, if you choose tho flash the USC, Verizon or any other none sprint radio you will need to unlock.

Just got around to updating the radio today. Will post back if I get another reboot or not.

That's my experience too. 6.1 radio was fine, never a single reboot on 2 TP2's. I updated one with the 6.5 radio and now it reboots. I think I may put the 6.1 Radio back on.

Is this with cabs installed? Could be a memory leak causing the device to go up to 100% and then the phone reboots to clear up the memory.

I have exactly the same cabs installed before and after radio update.

I just flashed back to the old sprint radio and see how it goes.

Just a follow up. I flashed back to old Sprint ROM and Reflashed the exact same Custom ROM and it's been 9 days and not a single reboot since.

If it continues, try loading another radio.

As I stated before I had resets every day using the stock radio...swapped to USC radio and had 0 resets for almost a year.
