Okay. I tried to install one of Dutty's ROM's that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398271.

I read through all the stickys and FAQ's first. I read Dutty's wiki, the Kaiser wiki, and the flashing new ROM wiki. I followed all of the directions and followed Dutty's instructions to the T.

After installing the HardSPL found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679), I backed up all my personal info/data.

Then used the Custom RUU Dutty supplied and proceed through the ROM flashing process. Everything went fine and I got no error messages. But when my phone booted up I got a black screen. I waited but my phone stayed on the black screen. So I pressed the standby button on and off a few times and eventually I wound up with a black screen that had about a million multi-colored speckled dots all over it. And I have been stuck on this screen since. I've tried soft-reseting and hard resetting but nothing is working.

I am Using an ATT Tilt BTW.


Please Help me. My phone is my life so right now I'm feeling like Dionne Farris.....Hopeless....:(

can you get into bootloader mode?

hold down power and camera button while inserting stylus it should introduce you to the tri color screen. Please tell us what it states. You may have just experienced a bad flash or you have the radio from hell installed on your device

Yes I can get to Bootloader mode.


In the red bar it says:

KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8


And Serial at the bottom in the white bar where USB normaly would be.

ok soft reset your phone and when it starts up does something like this appear in red text?

r 1.65.20.29
g 25.88.40.04w
d 3.29.xx.xx

well it appears to be a bad flash. unplug your device from the usb cable, restart your computer, and flash again.

Hopefully after your computer restarts it will recognize the device as being connected. If it doesn't just double click on your windows mobile device center icon and it should connect. After connecting just reflash the rom

I had the same problem, what i did was read all through the thread of the ROM or while inside the thread i use the search function and type in the keywords like "blank screen" it happened to me exactly, but i didnt bother to post since i found the answer, 1 user said flash it to WM 6.1 i did exactly that and it helped! some said not necessary, but i didnt see that instruction so i flashed the 6.1 blindly and fortunately it worked...

here is the thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583&page=30

on the search function type black screen and you should get and idea what you need to do...

Problem solved.


Thanks to everybody for their help.


I just used a different ROM and everything worked perfectly. I guess that ROM just didn't want to work with my phone. But it's okay. The ROM I'm using now is perfect.
