there is some extra hw input watchdog, i think.
but it very nice to see when phone need to be touched for boot. it need more care and love
That's really cute

What I have found up to now, at least with 1603 which is the most troublesome revision, the problem really is not the watchdog, the doggy is just the thing that will cause the phone to boot but the root cause is the fact that DSME stops feeding the watchdog.

I made a preinit script that forces the watchdog to be kept happy no matter what, and then the phone does not reboot but it will have massive problems accessing the HW, as DSME does not get connection to battery status and shuts itself down. When that happens the device does not go to normal operation mode, but you can ssh into it and check what's going on there.

coderus, what's the variant, model/color and HWREV of your device?
