Root Reboots after 1st Time Rooting & Installing ROM

[IamMark]

I just rooted for the first time yesterday using the Revolutionary method and installed my first ROM, Liquid Smooth 3.2. I absolutely love this ROM, but as my luck goes, I'm getting random reboots with it. I searched multiple threads regarding this ROM and never saw one other posting about someone having the same issue.

I did wipe data/cache/dalvik before installing it.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to try to resolve this? I haven't installed anything beyond the ROM, so it has to be something going on with it. Maybe I screwed something up during the rooting process for all I know. What information can I provide regarding kernel, radios, etc. that might prove helpful?

Thanks.

I would wipe again and then flash. Some people like to wipe like 3x's before flashing. Some say its a waste. I personally do it and have minimal issues when flashing a new ROM.

What radio are you on? could be the prob.

-reflashing isnt a bad idea, id try that before changing radio. i havent had any reboots on liquid 3.2. also FWIW, i used to wipe multiple times, but got impatient and started doing it just once. never had problems. checking the md5 is more beneficial i.m.o. good luck

I suggest wiping everything cache, dalvik, /data, and /system and reflashing. I think that should solve the issue.

Thanks guys. Just to confirm, do I just wipe everything several times in a row? Is there any method to the madness?

Also, I'm really dumb to rooting. Chrizzl3 asked about which radio I'm on...where on the phone can I determine this?

Lastly, I was running the latest OTA gingerbread when I was stock. When rooting/flashing this ROM, was I supposed to also flash a new kernel or radio (or anything else)? When and why would I do this?

Thanks!

You don't need to worry about flahsing a radio yet. The OTA has the most radio. You will want to update when a new radio comes available because it should improve your signal.

A kernel is already included in the rom.

Before any rom flash it is suggested you wipe cache, dalvik, and /data. If you have issues or your like me and just want to be extra careful then wipe /system as well.

I wiped data/cache/dalvik twice, and so far haven't had any issues over the last 2 days. Hopefully that took care of whatever was going on. Thanks!

One question for Yeahha - I didn't see an option in Recovery to wipe System. Is it called something else?

For system, go to recovery> mounts and storage> format system. This will wipe the system.
