Random reboots after H/W hack

[ianm]

I have recently purchased and H/W hacked my iPhone which works fine except for a random reboots.

The reboot could occur in Settings, while playing a video podcast, flicking through pictures, basically anywhere and as yet I've not spotted a pattern to the reboot behaviour.

Has anyone see this before? Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks,
Ian

never heard of anything like this..you tried to restore it start over?

[iPodAddict]

I would try doing a full restore. It sounds like something was messed up, though.

[ianm]

Thanks for the replies.

I performed a restore to factory settings to which iTunes then restored my settings, after a couple of minutes my iPhone rebooted again :-(

So I then tried a more though restore and decided not to recover my setting via iTunes. Again after a couple of minutes it rebooted again. So far it has rebooted 3 times in around 4-5 Hrs.

I have noticed that each reboot generates a "yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss.panic.plist" file in /private/var/logs/CrashReporter/Panics.

The contains of my first after restore reboot/crash is (the of the XML tags have by the iPhone Alley editor):

The only thing I can think to do now is restore to f/w 1.0.0 (losing the base band hack) and then run the s/w hack, unless anyone has any ideas?

Thanks,

I vote for the restore back to 1.0

The software hack works great and hopefully the restore will solve your problem

[ianm]

Thanks Billy.

Do you know of a thread which discusses forcing an old iPhone f/w onto the device?

Would I also need to go back to iTunes 7.3.

Hold down the "Option" key when clicking "Restore" in iTunes. That will ask you to browse for a firmware package to upgrade to.

Make sure iTunes and iTunesHelper isn't running.

Download this.

Unzip it.

Run this command:
./iphonecomm -s 4

If it does work you can go ahead and run AppTapp 3.0

Next time be patient let us brick our phones when there is an iTunes update.

Hey, any updates on this? I have the same problem and I could find the same crash files on my iPhone. My devices was H/W unlocked, it died once completely, so after an iTunes restore I had to perform a SW unlock. Today I had 3 reboots. :( Thanks.
