Why is my Jamin stuck on Gullum's Boot screen? - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

Hey guys,
I successfully put Gullum's V5 Touch ROM on my Jamin and I have been using it since it came out which is a few weeks I think. Today I went to reset it and it's just stuck at Gullum's grey themed Prophet Touch the boot screen.
Does anyone know why that would happen after using it no problem for a while? Can I get any of the info on it back as I didn't syncronize it for a week. I'm guessing a Hard reset will do the job but now I don't trust the ROM if it just randomly locks up.

why didnt you flash to v6 instead?make sure you do step 1 first then proceed to doing step2.gullum is one of the best.beta testers rules!

My advice: look an search a bit more before you start a new thread. There is one (very heavy) allready about this topic. There's even an tips and tricks Wiki-page that makes notice of this problem.
My personal solution: don't restart with the cube active.

It's difficult to search threads that have pages and pages of information. My eyes can only take so much scrolling. And even using the right combination of words to search for is the next thing to be successful at. Anyways I don't want to argue with you as I have been trying to keep up with information as some of you more 'experience' have learned and retained.
I always downgrade before I upgrade and I have done it many times as ROMs just keep coming out by the week!
I'm just wondering if there is anyway to get my Pocket PC back up and running to at least get an excel spreadsheet that is in internal memory. If not then I will suck it up and hard boot it. I'm just confused why a soft reset lead to a full boot screen freeze after countless soft resets before.

We don't going to argue my friend.. it was just a friendly advice!
But did you find the thread that deals with this problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320689 It realy tells a lot about problems and solutions experienced by other pp.
As about your wish to backup from the bootscreen (if I understand you correctly) I really don't know, never heard nor red about it.
But I did read that someone managed to start up again by removing his SD card, perhaps worth trying.

Bricking/Unbricking/Rebricking

Hey I've been having this problem with my Titan. I have Keys 1.31 rom and every once and awhile when I turn on my Titan it gets stuck on the the windows mobile start screen. Im able to get my phone working again if I reflash Keys rom.
So far this has happened 3 times in the past month.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Bell 6800
Keys 1.31 ROM
3.35 radio
Just for future reference...never has your phone been a brick. A bricked phone is just that...a brick, a paperweight, won't do anything at all. It can't be turned on, it can't boot, it can't be reflashed or fixed. It's obvious you're having a problem with something, but I constantly see people on a daily basis saying their phone is bricked when in actuality, very very few people have actually bricked phones.
Sorry, but I have no idea. You're apparently alone in facing this.
Have you tried reflashing to another third party or stock radio/ROM combination to help rule software or a bad flashing out as a cause?

What bootloader are you running? Maybe a bad install of the bootloader?
no, that's not a possibility, the bootloader isn't like a copy of Windows... besides, it's getting stuck on the windows mobile logo, that means its at the kernel.
my advice is to dump that ROM and flash something else.

In case that is interpreted negatively, quite a few are using builds from my kitchen and he's been quite alone in reporting this.
Sorry, I just had to chime in to defend my work.
That said, if one is facing such problems the first avenue to problem solving is not to keep flashing the same radio/build of an OS ROM into perpetuity. Mix things up. Isolate.
I'm not saying i'm 100% positive on this one, but sounds like to me he's using some kind of software that is coded poorly, or something that is corrupting his kernel or the necessary files that boot the os. Sounds like the phone is getting hung up right when it's trying to execute these files at boot.
My advice to you, that is if you want to keep using key's rom, is to create a CLEAN rom, and don't install any software. Run it for a while clean and see if the problem goes away...if that's the case, you need to re-evaluate which software you use.
HTC home. The silly green screen that says windows mobile? Yeah, HTC home is causing it to fail to boot, this has been covered before.
This is a very misleading title for this post. You can't unbrick a true 'brick' - unless it was a brick because you left the battery out.
A true 'brick' can't ever be turned on. It's a dead paperweight. So, there's no chance of unbricking it.
Flashed Keys rom to few phones....never had a problem !
I used olipro 2.40
Right now the phone is fine, it appears to happen randomly, Keys rom is great otherwise (no insult intended). What was meant by the problem with HTC home?

The windows mobile splash screen or the "silly green screen that says windows mobile" as you put it is not HTC Home. It is not HTC Home that is causing him to lock up at boot time.
To the OP, read my post, it's some piece of software that is causing your lockup. Guaranteed, if you make a clean rom (no software installed except the rom, with nothing cooked into it) I bet you see your problems go away. I then would install each piece of software one by one testing to see if you see the lockups after each one.

Kaos,
You will find you get more answers by posting in the appropriate thread. This is not a WM6 thread so chances are that most ppl would ignore your post.
As you are probably on dcd 3.0.x, I have answered your question over there in the dcd 3.0.4 thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2177772&postcount=459
Apart from the fact that your are more likey to recieve an answer when posting in the correct thread, it will also help others with the same problem find the answer wheb they do a SEARCH.
Also another good place to find general information is in the titan wiki (see the sticky at the top of the titan upgrading section).
Lastly, you could try starting a new thread if you just cant seem to find the appropriate place to get your answer.

Touch screen is unresponsive... Please help

My touch screen will not work at all, everything else on the phone works just fine. I tried a hard reset and now I am stuck at the alignment screen. Any suggestions.. Anyone run across this error?
Thanks
reflash bro
put the stock rom back on
and then put the modded rom on
and it should be fine
Typically means something is interfering with the recognizer.
If you are using a protective case (shell) or screen protector, try removing them temporarily to see if they may be causing your problem.
I didn't have anything over the screen.. Any idea why it would do something like that?? I'm going to reflash to stock and back to modded ROM tonight and I'll let you guys know in the morning.. Thanks for your help.
Could be a "bad" flash.
If it still happens with the stock ROM flash, you may have a defective unit on your hands.
Hardware problem?
I had the exact same problem about a week ago. I tried reflashing the device, hard reset, etc. In the end, I couldn't even get past the screen calibration wizard. My conclusion was that I had some kind of harware problem -- the touch screen would respond intermittently for brief periods of time and then go unresponsive again.
My fix: I took the phone to my ATT service center who, much to my gleeful surprise, gave me a new one (warranty exchange) without any hassle. I expected to have to fight with them, but the transaction was trivial and stress-free.
I'm now deciding which WM 6.5 ROM I like the best. Many thanks to all the hard-working contributors and chefs on XDA for providing such awesome content and support!
Good Luck with your phone
i also had this problem recently. phone was working fine in the night, went to bed and woke up and was unresponsive. Tried everything. I ended up flashing back to all the stock stuff and sent it in for repairs. I got the screen and dpad replaced under warranty. I have no idea what caused it, but it happened. Definately not a software issue if you have reflashed...
my advise, flash back to stock spl and your carrier rom and send it back.
I had a similar problem and opened a thread as well. My problem in chronological order
1. Bought a TMobile MDA IV over ebay.
2. Flashed several different ROMs of WM6.1 and was just enjoying myself.
3. Installed a 6.5 ROM the calibration screen required me to go through 3 full circles.
4. Worked fine for a day, then the device was locked and watever I tried I just couldnt get to open it up
5. Did softreset, it didnt help either. I Would end up at lock screen
6. Finally got back to HTC stock ROM 6.1, and I couldnt get past the calibration screen for a month.
7. My conclusion as well, that its a hardware problem, unfortunatel where I live I dont have Tmobile and the screen from touch pro is slightly different in size to the tmobile variant.
8. Hence it was a brick!!!!
9. After a month just last week, I thought of trying to flash back to 6.5 and see if it works.
10. Went calibrating in circles for about 10 times and guess wat!!!! It starts up!!!!
Now my conclusions are as good as anyones, it cant be an hardware issue. I am trying to find a solution so I can reflash my ROM and go to a stable version and live with my phone atleast for an year.
The Mystic ROM lite version has touch response software built in, Could this be the issue.
Anyones got any idea let me know

phone hangs and re-sets

Howdy guys,
after a little help please. I am using energy cookie rom since may with little problems.
However, recently the phone started switching itself off. I noticed it whilst streaming with 'myplayer'. Then it did it when i received a text message. Now it is doing it all the time. I have started playing a game called land, air, sea, warfare (great game btw) And the problem is worse not only does it just switch the phone off but it somehow manages to make the phone do a hard reset???????
When the phone switches back on it says it is the first time the phone has been on and goes through asking me which carrier i am using?
Also sometimes it wont switch back on and i have to false a hard reset to get it to work. I have done about a dozen hard resets since yesterday.
Any ideas please? Btw i did perform a task 29 and a hard reset after i installed this rom.

My two pennies on this:
1. Perform a task29 again.
2. Install a stock ROM.
3. Install HSPL3.
4. Perform Task29 again.
5. Install the ROM again.
Should remove all the problems and get you a good clean ROM without probs.

Howdy, thanks for taking the time to respond. So you think the issue is probably software related rather than hardware? I only ask cause that 'game' is 40 mb and i was wondering if maybe it is too resource hungry for my phone and maybe i have an issue? Ram, cpu etc?
Either way i will try and change the rom first.

I am using energy cookie rom too. I used to have the same problem like you, and i did some easy things to solve. It's ok so far and i hope to help you.
- Flash new stable radio after flash rom (someone say should flash radio in advance, but not for me). V2.10.50.28_2 is good to me.
- Turn off auto lock. It makes some disadvantages to you, but helps your device from death - sleep.

I doubt it is that game resource problem. Most probably some software conflict only. HD2 can handle 40mb game files easily.

Guess your game has got some serious conflict with the ROM and is corrupting some reg settings or some ROM settings. Probably you are better off not installing that game again. Moreover, write to the developer of the game about this issue.
With regard to the phone, just follow the same advice I gave in the first post. Time consuming I know, but your device will get back to normal. Fingers crossed.

looks like something is going on? I performed about 5 hard resets and finally got the phone to boot up. But it is hanging for everything now. I turned on bluetooth, i tried to access sense and both caused the phone to hang. So i will try your advice again, tomorrow. Thanks,
well that game definitely conflicts with the phone.
i flashed a stock rom from the sd card as advised and finally got the phone working aok. within 10 minutes of installing and playing that game the phone is back to her old ways of soft/hard resetting.
is there a way to check that it is not a hardware issue?
thanks again for all your help.

[Q] No new ROMM but "Stick Together" screen

Okay,
I just got this HD2 as a replacement two weeks ago and was doing fine except it was going dead each night- so they sent me a new battery.
I put in the battery this morning (54% chg) and was syncing/charging the HD2 when I got the message that due to some server problem (I don't even use a server) the entire phone would have to be re-synced. It happedned on my other phone some but not yet on this one. When I deleted the PC from Activesync, the phone looked like it did a hard reset, opening screens about keyboard etc, came up and no programs were apparent. When I looked at programs list, they were still there so I started executing them and they woulset back up.
On reset for one of these the HD2 got stuck at the second "stick together" screen, the one after the radio info had gone. I've tried pulling the cards, battery plugging it in, checked the battery pins, etc but it will not get past the Stick Together screen. I've seached myself blue but cannot find anything similar.
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you,
OZ
1. Send it back if possible
2. Hard reset via volume keys - have you tried?
3. Flash new rom (stock or custom)
Give em a try!
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Yeah sounds like you need to do a hard reset.if this does not fix your problem flsh a new ROM.
Had to Master Reset...
Thanks you very much for your help.
I finally did a master reset using the buttons as recommended. No further toubles so far, but I have no idea what caused it to begin with...could happen again.
Considering a new ROM for sure. I've liked this stock T-mo more than I thought as I formerly did the ROM-a-week thing with previous phones.
The Voice command and random volume problems are the only real issues I can think of that would cause me to try a new one, but they are bad enough that I am looking. Any suggestions?

[Q] Q! Touchscreen Issues Inside OS

Hey guys, this is my first post on XDA as I'm usually lurking or keeping up with updates. I've searched many forums for an answer to my problem but it does not seem that anyone has had the same issue.
Anyway, lately I've run into the problem of an unresponsive touchscreen. I can't even unlock my phone! Two nights ago I made three consecutive calls and about ten minutes later I couldn't unlock my phone.
In order to correct this problem, I first took off the screen protector to no avail. I was running CM7, flashed a sense ROM, flashed my backup of the stock ROM, went back to stock with S-ON, pulled the battery a bunch of times, completely wiped, removed the SD card, Soft & hard reset at a VZW store. Nothing.
Took it with me to school today, powered it on and before it completely loaded I was able to unlock it by chance, skipped the setup and it was working fine all day. I was hella overjoyed... until it did it again tonight. D: I so want it to be OS issues rather than hardware because I don't want to wait two days to get a 'reconditioned' TB from VZW.
HALP! Please? Thanks, guys for even looking!
MP
P.S. I do apologize if I did not follow proper procedure to post or posted in the wrong subforum. S:
I'm frustrated and sitting around with an unrooted TB, ohnoes. (Although the screen looks sexy as hell without a screen protector.)

sounds like it could be a digitizer(hardware related) issue. on the plus side, you can pickup a new digitizer pretty cheap... downside though is you'd have to open up the phone to replace it. it's not that hard to do and there's videos online showing you how to.. you'd just have to be comfortable i suppose.
i'd just fix it rather then going the refurbished route considering that god know's what was wrong with it before it became "refurbished" not to mention you have no idea how much use the phone had been put through and how much life it has left.
