Noob needs help

[mmcneil]

Hi,

I'm having a weird issue when trying to flash a custom rom. I picked up a new htc touch last week, had it flashed to my carrier, then proceeded to unlock the phone. Everything went well with the unlock. I then installed Mighty's 4.16 rom and that went well. I read up on Juicy's rom, so I tried installing it on my phone. Everything looked like it was working fine, only, once Windows mobile asked me to tap the screen to get started, I can't get past the align screen. It's like it's in some type of loop. Tried flashing back to Mighty's rom, but got the same results. Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance for any replies/assistance

I had the same issue when I flashed Juicy's rom, it would just sit at that screen. I did the battery/hard reset method and that worked. It stayed on the windows starting screen for about 5 min though, just don't freak out and give it some time. freaking out is the wose thing to do, trust me I know, lol.

yes guys, after every flash you should take the battery out for 1 minute, then hard reset. this will allow the page pull to accommodate. if you don't do this, your phone will run realllll slow.

I've had the same problem, did the battery thing, hard reset but was never able to get it to work. In the past i've successfully flashed to WM 6.1 and installed Kao's rom for a mogul, I just don't know wtf is wrong with my touch.

whats your radio at right now? when the phone boots and the red writing appears across the bottom of the screen what does it say next to R: ?

All,

Let me first say THANK YOU to all of those who posted suggestions. Everything is working now, I just forgot to post and let everyone know. For the record, I was calibrating the screen with my thumb instead of the stylus... what a dummy!! Anyway, after a hard reset and then using the stylus to align the screen, everything came up like it was supposed to. I was being impatient and automatically assumed that I had hosed up the phone somehow.

Thanks again!!!

glad it worked but under setting you will find a screen icon and that icon will allow you to calibrate the screen so you dont have to hard reset to do it again.
