Help!! Stuck on Splash Screen

jokeman3000 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-04-2007, 02:02 AM

Hey guys, it appears this has happened before but I was unable to find a solution (People reference to a solution but don't actually tell you where or what it is) If this has happened to you please tell me how to get out of it.

I am stuck on the starting splash screen. I have tried to reflash, and even tried the stuck on bootloader solution with no change.

Thanks!

Try a hard reset. Press both softkeys ( - ) and the reset button (with the stylus) at the same time. If it works it will show a white screen where you will have to open the keyboard and press Y to clear mem and space to boot. That should fix it!

Already tried that, reloading sprint rom, if that doesn't work well i'll get a new one @ sprint tomorrow.

Ok had to check. I've loaded roms too many times to count and i still get stuck at that screen sometimes and then remember that i never hit the Y, Space so it didn't take the hard reset.

What rom did you load, was it one from this site? From the sound of it you were bootloader mode (dark screen says USB) when you started, right?

Just to let anyone experiencing the same problem, reload the sprint rom and you will get unstuck!

Back to hacking!

I've gotten stuck at the splash screen with Helmi's wm6 upgrade a couple of times now. The first time, I just reflash WM6 and it was fine for a couple of days. This last time, my device froze while I was checking email and I did a hard reboot. After that, it got stuck on the splash screen again. I tried going back to the sprint rom and it gets stuck on that flash screen as well. Anyone have a clue what the problem is and how to get wm6 to run reliably on my phone?

I don't run very much on the phone, just wm6, outlook, IE, live search, and google maps (not all at the same time).

Hmm, no responses? Any steps to try? My phone is still stuck on the WM5 splash screen after I put the sprint rom on. Is there anyway to get my phone back to normal or is it just a silver paper weight now?

An update....after quite a few retries, I think my phone is now officially dead. I can sometimes get to the "tap this screen to set up" screen and sometimes about two clicks into align screen, but then it just freezes again. I called sprint support and I told them I tried the hard reset, reflashing the latest sprint rom, clearing the phone several times with the same result and they think it's time to call time of death on the little guy.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this can happen to others, but it happened to me unfortunately. I'm going to put my line on vacation mode until November so I can check out the HTC Vogue (or Touch or whatever) and decide between that and the mogul. RIP Apache, you will be missed.

Actually it was one I built with the kitchen, essentially just added my own OEMs:

Voice Command
Palm SMS
O2

I did hard reset (twice actually) when that didn't work, I reloaded a stock Kitchen rom with no change. That's when I jumped back to the Sprint Rom.
