Droid X freezing, starting and restarting on its own.

Question

Last week I had to replace my Droid X. When I rec'd the replacement today, I pulled it out of the box, inserted the battery and fired it up. Called to activate the phone, started the set up process. It got all the way to the Back Up Assistant, then flipped itself off and restarted itself, but wouldn't let me do anything else. Nothing. Period. The little green light was flashing, indicating I had texts, voice mails, emails, etc, but the screen is blank. Occassionally the screen will show the time and date, but won't let me swipe to unlock it. The old phone did this same thing before I had it replaced. What's the problem? Yes, I've already done the "hold down the power and the home button to wipe/delete..." thing at least three times. No go. Is there a software snafu with Verizon going on?
Thanks for any help.

Hmm. There could be some wireless interference or conflict with other networks or devices. I suggest that you try changing the wireless channel. I am using channel 9 for my EA4500 router, but you can also try other channels and see which one suits your network setup. What’s the current firmware version of the router?
If it has an up to date firmware, you can relfash it to make sure that there’s nothing wrong with firmware that was uploaded. Simply download the firmware file and manually load it to your router.
