Custom ROMS. I'm wondering.... if I go over the ROM space limit, if this is the result (locking up at second splash screen). I'm going to experiment with smaller ROMS.

I had internet sharing and 6.1 with 5067 and with 20272. Unless I am missing something. I used my phone the whole weekend last week to access the internet on my laptop.

No......just pull the battery for about 10 seconds and then perform a hard reset....

+1 on this......I have tried almost every rom and kitchen build in here and I cannot remember one not having IS........I use it quite a bit.....

That may also occur if you don't have the phone unlocked or the Radio updated.

Did that several times. Still locking up on splash. ERRRGGG!!!!

I'm wondering if it's a problem that I downgraded my phone (as per thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=21161), and then re-upgraded. All numbers are what they should be. Hmmm......

If your radio and bootloader are compatible, then rebuild your rom in the kitchen...
only each time select fewer OEMs to include, or even better start w/ none selected and work backwards (selecting more and more each time) - if its' not booting up due to the size of the rom, then when you create a clean (no selection) ROM it will boot, and once you have selected too many items then it will not. While it may be time consuming, it will produce the answer you seek. that is, is this ROM too big? unless i misunderstood, in which case... disregard this
