You only need to run the root script if you're not already rooted. It's there for first timers on stock. These scripts have been around for a while.

Installed it on my infusion b06 setup.
I get regular reboots during the working day as i go in and out of the back of beyond so it should not take too long to see if this fix works or not.

Wait, so can I just apply this over CM10.1. I sometimes (very rarely) get a random reboot, so I might as well try it.

Yes you can, I did it tonight with 0 problems. The bootloader is separate from the OS, as such it doesn't matter whether you have CM9, CM10, CM10.1 or any other custom ROM on it.

Cool, I will try this tomorrow

@Dazzozo you should make your own topic as this is your creation, and then get it pinned

An early report:

-no reboots in almost 6 hours of 3G standby & use (wifi disabled)
-battery not affected by the new bootloader
-performance not affected

[dalyer]

3G reboots (on CM10.1 right now but ROM shouldn't be significant as far as I know...) are quite common for me so I have installed this bootloader and will test it.
I have been switching to 2G in sleep/screen off mode to avoid the problem.
I still have SIM PIN lock enabled and SIM Locked Notifier app installed so I know when I get these reboots.
Fingers crossed!
(Although even if it works I might still switch to 2G because it seems to have a significantly positive impact on battery lifetime! )

BTW Does the [re]locked bootloader affect future ROM installs - or anything else? For example if I want to switch from CM10.1 to some other ROM? Or if I want to replace my current TWRP with CWM?

Sadly, I still got 3G random reboot.

Maybe this happens only me.

[carrthee89]

Its must for everyone or only for those who are having issues? Btw I don't even had a single 3g reboot..

Is there any way of getting these drivers without using a stock ROM? I had to reinstall Win7 and so lost the drivers previously installed, and I'd prefer not to reflash back to stock just for those

I had occasional reboots (once a week?). I have installed the new Bootloader (Thanks Daz) and will keep an eye out. Oh, currently on Infusion B06 with a few jumps to CM10.1 to test the latest work

I also use SIM PIN lock enabled and SIM Locked Notifier app installed, so will know if I get a reboot.

Tried this bootloader "fix" on stock B952, with no luck. Reboots still appear randomly.

I believe you didn't install it correctly. I've been running on 3G with the wifi turned off since yesterday evening and I didn't get single reboot; and believe me, I used to have plenty of them. Make sure you correctly installed the drivers that come with the stock rom. A successful install of the bootloader will give this result in a console.
(the 8192+0 in and out stuff is what you are looking for, correct me if I'm wrong Daz )

If you don't get these "random/3G reboots" then count yourself lucky and you don't need to use this bootloader.

[dalyer]

A couple of people have mentioned having wifi off. Is there any significance to this other than to force 3G usage while testing? I leave wifi on but when out an about will be out of wifi coverage and using 3G. When wandering around town near my workplace I usually get the reboots. Is it OK to test this way or should I explicitly switch wifi off too?

BTW - I'm assuming that to test this you need to install the locked bootloader AND reboot? Rebooting doesn't seem to be mentioned explicitly anywhere...

The thing is that when I used to leave my mobile with the old bootloader on the desk, wifi off, 3G on, it rebooted every now and then (like very often). Now it doesn't reboot at all. I even installed Boot Logger to be sure.

[daVil]

I believe this new bootloader is unlocked too, just done right   I did a reboot, yes. I think a bootloader is only used while booting so I did a reboot.
