    I had to SBF my DX after trying to restore to a backup that had been corrupted. I used the 2.3.340 full SBF and afterwards it has started randomly rebooting. I then SBF'ed again and it still reboots randomly.

    This happened to a prior DX of mine and I thought it was a hardware problem, but that had started happening right when I got it so I thought it arrived defective, but I've had this one for a while. I would go send it to Verizon, but this is like my 6th DX (I had bad luck with the screen and the headphone jack) and I also want to stop this from happening in the future, because if I get another DX I will have to hack it... because I just will dancedroid

    I was running rubiX on the first DX that I sent back, but this time I was running Liberty 1.5.

    Thanks,
    H

    Clear data/cache after sbf or it generally does that.

    And did a factory data reset. I would like to add, that I am not re-rooting each time. Its doing this (quite frequently) on completely stock software.

    I really would prefer not to be forever stuck on an unhacked DX.

    Same issue

    I just activated my dx on Sat. Haven't even had time to really sit down and mess with it yet, only d/l 3 apps so far. But yesterday afternoon it rebooted 3 times in 30 mins. It is really annoying and I can't take it back because I bought it on ebay. If I had insurance on my bb storm will it cover this phone? I kinda doubt it but thought I would ask. If I was to clear its cache do I have to be root and which app ... X Bootstrap??

    The reboots sound like a software issue. Try pulling your sd card and see if you still get reboots, if they stop I would say you have a bad file there. If not boot into recovery and clear cache and then do another factory reset. You may also have a bad file on your sbf. Are you using the .zip format or are you using rsdlite?

    Rissman,
    As far as insurance, if you have asurion it covers what ever phone you are using.

    I will try the SD card tomorrow night when I am with my phone (left it at my dads house).

    I already booted into recovery and cleared the data/cache to begin with.

    I am using RSD lite i think 4.9? I look on the computer that I use to flash it tomorrow.

    Yeah if your using your computer your using rsdlite. You might try redownloading the sbf to see if you have a corrupt file.

    I had a rooted X for a couple of weeks, and currently have an X that has never seen a root in it's life, and that one restarts itself as much as the rooted one did! I'm thinking it's something that they are going to have to find a way to fix via the next update if possible, because a lot of people are having the same troubles with the phone.

    I'd really like to think that, but it happened right after I had mesed with the phone. I tried restoring to a crap backup, which shouldn't mean anything, because I SBF'ed but I mean w/e, I just want the stability that my iPhone had, with the awesomeness and freedom of my DX dancedroid

    So I had been SBF'ing with RSD lite v4.8 with a full 2.3.340 sbf file.

    Just took out the SD card and waiting for the phone to charge, so I can use it. I don't really see how a file on the SD card could cause (really) frequent reboots, if a reboot at all... But hopeful!

    UPDATE: Still rebooting, even with the SD card out. Just rebooted 3 times in the last 5 minutes... I dont have time tonight to re-SBF it, seeing as it probably wont do much good anyway. Does anyone have an idea why this happens and if rooting/flashing a ROM to it would cause this? Otherwise I wont be able to justify re-rooting the replacement.
