Continuous soft resets...

[Metzex08]

Ok, So I had dutty's rom running perfect for about 5 months. Decided I wanted to revert back to the stock ATT rom and play with it. I tried to revert and somewhere along the way, I did a soft reset and it screwed me up. I can still flash roms no problem, but for some reason, when the phone goes to start up, it gets to the first screen of the boot process (white with ATT logo) and then it freezes. After about 10-15 seconds, it automatically soft resets and tries again. So, I can hit the reset button while holding cam and pwr to get to the bootloader. I have tried flashing every rom I have downloaded, and nothing seems to work. I am trying the stock ATT rom as I type this but we will see what happens. That is what I was running when it F'd. I wanted to restore it to stock completely, thought about trying to have it replaced because the hinge is really loose on my handset. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Try flashing this ROM and see what happens.

What does your bootloader screen show?

[Metzex08]

Okay. I tried to flash the OEM rom back to my ATT Tilt. While doing this, somehow my phone entered an unending cycle of soft resets. I can still get to the bootloader, but as soon as I flash a rom, it tries to boot, gets to the first boot screen, then resets. My computer keeps popping up "install drivers for new hardware found".

I tried booting through MTTY, no dice.

My bootloader screen reads:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.01OliPof
CPLD-8

I tried flashing hardspl. RUU opens and it runs instantly. The phone reboots and the boot loader screen still reads this. I flash a new rom, the bootloader still reads this. I'm at a loss. I've been working on this for 3 hours and I haven't gotten anywhere. I don't have a backup phone, so I have to figure this problem out. I have searched the forums and haven't found anyone with the same problem. Please, anyone who feels they can help, let me know what I can try to fix this problem. Thanks!

Some people go to far ahead before figuring out the real issue. Don't fuck yourself.


Hold down your power, camera, and insert your stylus then tell us what your bootloader screen displays.

and your bootloader screen will not change because it does not display the rom version. You have hardspl installed what more do you want?

Did you believe your bootloader screen would change after you flashed a rom?

Damn!!!

Dude it has been five months since you flashed a rom why bother getting all neurotic and worried For a common situation? I complained to mods because they closed your thread now I look like a douche bag. Thanks.

I had the same problem (continuous reboot) as before, see this thread:

but the problem that I had is because of bad blocks, post your info 8 and maybe I can help :)

ok, I got the phone to startup, eventually it stopped trying to soft reset. I hit the power button and it turned on. Now, I run jumpspl and it doesn't ever bring up the USB connection, so I can't change the bootloader back to oem. any suggestions?

[Metzex08]

I used the other version of jumpspl (1.56) and it brought up the USB connection (atleast it says it did). But, when I try to run RUU from the ATT_SPL folder it cannot connect to my phone. MTTY says USB connection is unavailable as well. What should I do?! I want the phone to be able to be sent in for warranty replacement as the hinge seems to keep getting looser and looser. Any ideas? Bootloader still reads the same as before.

If your sending it for warranty replacement via AT&T just put it in the microwave for 2 seconds....problem solved. :)
