Stuck On Boot Screen

Ok, I really have read existing threads related to similar problems, but I am completely stuck on the boot screen (not bootloader screen) with my Tilt.
I flashed Dutty's 6.1 ROM last week and all had been working fine until last night. The phone was stuck with screen lock (screen nor buttons would respond). So, I performed soft reset and it just stopped at 'smart mobility' boot screen. I then performed hard reset, and again it just stopped and hung at 'smart mobility' screen.
This morning I got into the bootloader screen (power + camera + reset) and flashed original ROM (well, new officiall AT&T ROM released last month). Original ROM flashed successfully, but it now hangs on AT&T boot screen. I have tried hardspl, and flashing multiple ROMs, which all complete successfully, but it always hangs at the boot screen.
Thoughts?

what radio are u using?

Well, with Dutty's I was using 1.64.08.21 that came with the ROM... When I flashed to the stock AT&T ROM, I used the radio included with it as well (1.27.14.09).

Dutty's didn't come with a radio.

Well, I was using 1.64.08.21.. Right now, I have the stock ROM flashed with 1.27.14.09

I have a similar problem. I flashed alex rom yesturday then I flashed back to OEM to test something then today I flashed back to alex cube rom and it said flash was successful but when I did a hard reset during the "Tap screen to begin" my phone go stuck in the AT&T inital logo. I tried connecting to USB to reflash but USB won't detect the phone. I have hard reset, removed battery, and no avail. Does this mean I bricked my phone?

To clarify, I have been doing these for some time and also had and 8125 previously, so I understand the flashing process. I also understand that there are only certain radios that work with WM 6.1 and 6.0. This doesn't appear to be a radio incompatibility issue. As I mentioned, I was using Dutty's 6.1 ROM just fine for several days before this happened. I had been using Sleuth's 6.1 prior to that.

You always should re-flash the radio AFTER flashing the ROM. Pt yuor device into boot loader (hold camera, power & reset button). Reflash the Radio. If that doesn't work PM me & I'll walk you thru looking for bad memory blocks.

NO, it does not mean brick. It means you may want to try another USB port, check the activesync connection settings, & possibly reflash using the SD card.
Edit: After looking at your MTTY feedback, & confering with a few of the Gods, I have to unfortunately tell you that your NAND chip appears to be damaged beyond flushing. The blocks can't even be erased, & that's the problem. When you reflash the blocks have previous ROM data still stored & because of the NAND damage they cannot be overwritten. Return under MFG warranty is all you can do. (Believe me, I really hate saying this & even got confirmation from Pof & Jocky) Sorry Guy.

My 30-day return policy date is tomorrow so I went to the AT&T store today and they swapped it out with a new device. They mentioned next time I have to ship it.
Could this have happened because of to much flashing? Or was this possibly an already existing defect?

I got a new one shipped to my overnight. There was obviously something wrong with it, as I tried everything under the sun. Flashed new ROM, then flashed new radio, flashed original ROM, etc. Everything gets stuck on the boot screen. At one point yesterday, I left it at the boot screen for a couple hours and it finally booted up, but then locked up again once it did. Then next time I reset, it got stuck on the boot screen again.

Please tell me you installed hardspl first?

Soft Reset Looping - Dead Kaiser
Hi all,
I have been flashing/testing many roms for a number of years now. I particularly enjoyed Jasjamming in my Tytn I days. Now...
Great work seen by many developers.
When I first got my Kaiser, i tried HardSPL, and had "white screen" issue, I then followed instructions on "white screen" thread....copied cab to kaiser....ran cab from kaiser..........eventually was able to flash to a new/ different ROM
However, I recently flashed my Kaiser and after using it for 6-7 hours after flash, it soft reset itself. It continued to keep soft reseting itself without geting to boot screen. It kept reading "smart mobility" and it would reset, vibrate, reset, vibrate, reset.......
I tried EVERYTHING - remove battery, flash back to original ROM, change radio (bootloader worked in safe mode - holding down camera button), but to no avail.
I then tried MTTY, and no go with this too. I eventually had to give my phone back in to HTC.
The question I ask is what is the cause of this? Is it excessive flashing? Is is HardSPL? Any comments/ suggestions would be welcomed...
Many thanks

If you are asking me that question, the answer is yes I did run hardspl. As I mentioned, I have been doing this for long enough that I know what I am doing. I also mentioned that I was successfully running Sleuth's 6.1 for a month or two before switching to Dutty's new 6.1. I was only running Dutty's for a few days before all of this happened.
There is definitely something wrong.. if I let it sit long enough, it will eventually boot. It will work for a few minutes, and then lock up again. Once I reset, it sits on the boot screen for a couple hours again. I have flashed several different ROMs and Radios to get different results, but the results are always the same.. It hangs at the boot screen.

I guess you have also tried going to the tri-color screen and re-flashing as well as a HR or MTTY command

Please don't take offence to my probing, as my questions weren't directly directed to you. All I am saying is that we need to understand what is the actual cause of this problem, or we all will be "flashing in the dark", and fearing that this problem could be imminent every time we flash in the future.
Many thanks.

P1 - Since I can't get the phone to boot completely (well, except for waiting several hours), the only way that I have been flashing different ROMs is from the tri-color screen. Regardless of what ROM or Radio I try, it still just hangs at the boot screen. The only thing I haven't tried was MTTY.

I was actually replying to P1, hence the reason I quoted him. So, I don't take offense to anything you said.

Well, I hope your not getting offended to my questions? I am just trying to cover all of the simple fixes first since those have been the majority of the things that fix "Most" people's issues. I suggest getting in touch with GSLeon3. He has a pretty good handle on what goes on in flashing and all of the fixes.

I'm not sure why this is happening to you, there is a test rom on the wiki somewhere try flashing one of the test roms here sorry i cant help more,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs

Go to the Comm Manager and make sure the Phone is turned On and Flight Mode is OFF
This has happened to me with a few ROMS.

wish it was that easy but no

When i bought my tytn 2 i had same problem .
try to go in SETTING/PERSONAL/PHONE
then select tags BAND in the bottom of screen.
Usually you'll find :
Select your network type = Auto
Select your GSM/UTMS band = Auto
Try to force this parameters according your mobile company .
then make a Network selection manually .
I hope this help you.
Ciao
Luca

tried that 2 nothing

The only other thing that helped when this happened to me was to flash the Original Shipped ROM.

i hate myself should of left your first one alone.... flash that old one and still the same..phones still not working

But even in a manual search didn't show any phone company?

I have the same signal problem here. I trying to get a AT&T Tilt to work here in Brazil. Tried all available ROMs and Radios. Tried every available configuration stteing on the phone (band, connection etc). Flashed the phone back to the original ROM(adn Rdaio) and NOTHING.
I still waiting a miracle from heaven!

You have a BAAAAAAAAD ROM flash....
Take a deep breath and relax. I suggest hard reset first then remove your SIM card and re-insert. make sure the cut out edge of the SIM is the out side not on the inserted side.
Make sure you have a ROM, and i would suggest one that does NOT have the radio cooked with it. It can be Dutty's or Sleuth. I recommend Sleuth's ROM for I find it more robust. Flash properly and you will have your phone back.
BTW... remove your SD ( Memory Card ) before you start the flash.
Good luck.

Unable to flash Dutty's Hybrid

Im going nutz here so please forgive me..
I've read the rom flashing guides, I've searched for a couple days, but I am STILL unable to flash Dutty's Latest 6.1 hybrid rom. Here's how I attempted it.
Flashed Hardspl v1.
Flashed many diff 6.0 and 6.1 roms & radios. All worked perfectly.
Attempted to flash Dutty's Hybrid 6.1, flash completes to 100% and resets.
I can see the splash screen and even go through the setup. It then freezes on the splash screen and the buttons and screen are unreposive.
Here's some things I've tried after searching here.
Flash a wm 6.1 compatible radio ( I flashed several)
No change. Still frozen after autosetup.
Flash to original AT&T rom for the tilt and reflash back to Dutty's. No change Still froze at boot on splash screen.
Flash all of Dutty's other roms. They are flashed succesfully and work fine.
So here I am...at your mercy. Why would this rom have problems with my Tilt when every other rom I've flashed work just fine?
Any Tips.
If anyone has ANYTHING that could help me I would be very apprectiative.
Thank You
Thrac

Try doing a Hard Reset then re-flashing your device.
HTH.
Thanks
Dave

Or try flashing using MicroSD Card - as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158

RE
Thank you both for your suggestions. I am however still unable to use this rom.
I performed a Hard Reset anad then reflash with both USB and MicroSD. It still freezes at the point right after screen calibration.
Can anyone shed some light here??
Thanks again

Screen turns blurry after cyanogen ROM - Plz Help

Hey guys, ran into a problem, I was able to root mytouch 3g and installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538633 3.6.8 release 4. Problem is when the phone goes sleepmode (screen turns black) after you wake it up the screen turns fuzzy/blurry. Is there an easy solution to this problem? or should I install a different ROM? Any suggestions? I really like this rom besides the blurry screen issue.
thanks for any help!

Hey same thing is happening to me...I wiped and reflashed but still having the problem

This is a problem many of us has encountered, I don't know why, try other ROM's I have found 1 that works for me.
I think it's a issue with the refresh rate of the screen.

Ditto. I have this problem as well with Cyanogen v4.0.1.
I've done the customary wipe prior to installing the ROM but the problem is the same.
This is the ROM I am using at the moment with no blurry screen problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549755

i'm not using cyanogen but i am experiencing this issue with ZeroXd's Casper-4.2r2. i'm going to wipe the phone again and start over. So far, the Casper ROM is the only one that won't work for me and it was working well too

I'm having the same issue, but have ONLY noticed it with HERO-based roms. The Cyanogen 4.0.1 rom looked/worked fine.
Interested in the "fix" here...

Screen turns blurry
I am having the same issue but ONLY with the Hero roms. Cyanogen's new 4.xx roms are the frackin bomb so I'm not too sad. They work great for me. Definately want to know how to fix the issue though.

alot of ppl have this problem most of hero roms there is no fix yet sucks i know

Just experienced it for the first time after installing Drizzy's NoName V3. Have installed 10-15 roms prior and never experienced it until now. Trying out another Hero rom at the moment, will let ya know.
Update: QTek's rom seem's to work alright for me without the blur.

format sd card
seems to fix the problem....at least it did for me...

The v3 noname I tried was on a newly partitioned/formatted sd card. :-\ QTek's is still going strong though. With the v3, after the first sleep it was blurry. I've been running QTek's for about 30-45 minutes now and no issues.

+1 to this issue. i had the same problem with some cyanogen ports in the sapphire thread, but using new cyan roms has not given me any issues. also noted that formatting does not help.
possibly an issue with engineering SPL?
i also noticed that a rom would flash fine, but as soon as my screen would lock thats when the issue would occur.

i wonder if it is a kernel / spl incompatibility. I had this same issue with JACxROM that runs great on and ION and is bassically the same phone. So I am a little confused. I am going to try and use Cyanogens newest 4.0.1 build and copy the boot.img to a JACxROM v1.3 and see if it does the same thing or not. Will report back to let you know what happened.

I have tried to use following HERO ROMs but they all turns blurry after sleep mode (when I unlock screen by pressing menu or similar button)
Champion v2, Fullv2 No Name, Superlite Hero etc.

Is this possibly *part* of the issue here? I'm using the "1 click" root method as well. Also, my SD card does have the proper 3 partitions, if that means anything.

Just installed the JACxHEROskiv1.4 ROM, which does not appear to exhibit this behavior. Nice ROM so far!

I used the gold card method to root and I am experiencing the same thing with all the HERO roms. When you try to reinstall Cyanogens ROM's afterwards you experience the same thing. Only way I found to fix it was to format the SD card.
:/
We really need a fix for this. I am dying to use some Hero ROM's.

Well I fixed mine, I clean wiped everything and installed the cyanogen 4.0.1 rom. All is good now. I haven't messed with Hero, but I am liking the new cyanogen rom and he fixed the screen problem as well.

how did you go about clean wiping everything? I went ahead and bought a brand new sd card just to see if a fresh sd card cures it as well.

Fuze will not go past the at&t screen

for some reason my phone will not go past the AT&T screen when you turn it on. It will not show what radio or anything. It just shows the AT&T logo and world phone then it resets. I've tried to flash it with the sd card and through usb, yet it will not go past that screen. Any ideas? Thanks

Also for some reason it seems to think that there is no os installed on it. I've tried to install one it says it installs just fine via usb and sd card but once its reset it keeps going to the splash screen and resets its self

Any ideas?...

You probably flashed the wrong rom, didn't you? Hopefully, it was just a cdma rom w/o a radio. Flash a stock fuze rom to fix it. If you flashed a cdma radio, you may be in trouble.
