Tilt stuck at tri-color screen/USB not recognized

Text at the bootloader screen:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
Serial
-------------------
When this first happened I was able to use mtty to boot to the OS. Now when I plug it up to my PC it changes from "Serial" to "USB" however I get the warning that Windows does not recognize the USB device.
Occasionally the device will boot to the OS but when I attempt to insert my SIM card (I've removed it so I can continue to use my service) the device reboots and goes straight to the bootloader screen. When it boots to the OS and I don't insert my SIM card ActiveSync doesn't recognize it.
I had been using Dutty's Duttys_Diamond_Rom_Ruu_Signed_5.2.1588_1.65.16.25_V1 ROM at this point. I then tried to flash the Official AT&T ROM found in this thread. Didn't help. I've tried flashing HardSPL 3.56. Didn't help.
Can I still save this thing? What else can I do? Am I missing something obvious here?

My phone ran into the same issue in the last 24hrs. Leaving the battery out for an hour "fixed" it, only to have it reoccur overnight.

Bump. I could really use some help on this issue.

Have you tried reflashing the rom using a microsd card? What spl version are you running?

Multiple times. I've tried reflashing the Duttys ROM I was using (see original post) and the official AT&T ROM, which is what is now installed on the device. I am/was running HardSPL 1.0 and I tried flashing HardSPL 3.56 from my micro SD card but the text at the bootloader screen is still:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
Which leads me to believe that I am still running HardSPL 1.0
Just now the device attempted to boot to the OS but froze at the green WM6.1 screen. I then tried a soft reset and it went back to the bootloader screen. It seems that leaving the battery out for some time will allow the device to boot to the OS. Next time I attempt to boot it up I'll insert my SIM card and see if I get anywhere with that.
Here's a thought. When I bought my Tilt AT&T sent me a new SIM card but I never bothered to have my old SIM card transferred to the new one. I've been using my old Cingular SIM card. Could this an issue? I had read that some older versions of HardSPL may have trouble with older SIM cards...

So I took out the battery and let it sit for a while, put my SIM card and the battery back in and it booted to the OS. Sweet. However, the screen is unresponsive to touch and does not shift from portrait to landscape when I slide the screen. Also, Activesync did not recognize the device.
I removed my SIM card and it booted to the bootloader but Windows did not give me the error that it didn't recognize the USB device so I opened MTTY and was able to connect.

I'm going to toss in my unregistered SIM and force boot to the OS... at least I can charge the damn battery now.
EDIT: I inserted my unregistered SIM and tried to force boot to the OS using MTTY but the screen went black and I've got a red light. Removed the battery and rebooted to the bootloader. Now Windows no longer recognizes the device. But I'm confident I'll be able to boot to the OS later. But I've gotta get ready for work now. Frustration!

Did you try this?

This looks promising. I had seen this but forgot about it because I hadn't had any luck booting to the OS. I'll definitely try this when I get home.

tri-color phone screen
hey, i had the same problem and i fixed it. i took the battery out and saw the 4 golden tabs behind the battery. there was two tabs that u could pull out. i lightly pulled them out a little bit. the problem was that the tabs wouldnt hit the battery to charge it. thats why it put the tri colored screen on the front. also my charger fit into the charging hole in the phone, but it had to be moved around to much that it did not fit exactly. I have been rough with the charger so it moved the inside of my phone around. i put the charger in the phone and moved it around gently around untill the light lit up on the front at the top by the word at&t. after it was completly charged, i turned it on and it worked perfectly. i hope this helps in whoever may have this problem because i know it sucks!
Thanks

Vodafone v1615/Kaiser hangs at Vodafone logo

One of my superiors wanted me to dispose of his old v1615/Kaiser, saying "...this isn't working. Dispose of it properly." Ever the fiddler, I wanted to know if it could be used again, and in so doing I found xda-dev!
I've been searching around, and reading up - Wikis and forum posts - but I've yet to find a solution to my problem: the Kaiser hangs at the Vodafone logo. I found the MTTY instructions threads etc., so to clarify the situation here is a MTTY dump (first two carriage returns and commands included...):
Cmd>
Cmd>set 16 0
Cmd>boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
Fill RSVD information for block 288 to 309
Storage start sector=0x9040, total sector=0x12280

formatstorage Bad block found: 1201
formatstorage Bad block found: 1795
si backup: Erase physical block from 2032 to 2048
No card inserted
OSSIPreLoad ++
At this point it hangs, and drops the USB connection - presumably while the device is reseting the device tree - rendering MTTY useless.
Has anyone come across this issue?

I've not experienced that but I do recall reading similar posts. What happens when you attempt to hard reset using the soft keys and stylus method (as described in the users manual and wiki)? You need to walk before running and this should be the first step before going anywhere near the device with mtty or similar tools. Make sure it's been charging for a few hours so the battery is full or nearly so and ensure you know which buttons to press and are careful just to press the soft keys only. This operation can be fiddly and a few times my attempts at a soft key induced hard reset have failed because my big fat fingers have also ended up pressing other buttons at the same time.

Before finding xda-developers.com I tried a soft reset, which didn't have any effect whatsoever. I've tried soft resetting four times - probably out of frustration.
After those failed, I did a hard reset, which also had no effect. In fact, the MTTY dump on the original post is what happened directly after the first hard reset.
The device is still functional, but it seems unusable for now.

could be a corrupt rom, try flashing another rom
just remembered it isn't hardspl'

Precisely what does that mean - what happened? If absolutely nothing happened and it didn't start the hard reset procedure (with a little progress bar displayed on the screen), then try hard resetting again (making sure you're only pressing the correct buttons at the same time as when you poke the stylus in) because it may have been finger trouble (it's easy to get this wrong).

[HELP] Is my Rhodium Bricked?

I Cook roms so I flash about 15 or 20 times a day. I have a problem suddenly where my TP wont flash.
I get into bootloader and GET USB at the bottom
SPL-0.85.Olinex on the top which mean all should be ok but when i flash it gets stuck on 0 persent
I tried a stock rom, I tried Task 29 flash ...all does the same.
I tried flashing via sd card but it gets stuck on Loading
I tried mtty and did task 28/9 set etc etc and that still works but nothing else
Any ideas?

I was doing this while working on my version of the new AT&T ROM and started seeing WIERD issues like it would flash then when it loaded it would say a file was missing. Soft reset and it wouldnt say that but 10 minutes later it would act up again.
I thought I had a brick and was about to call warranty return and flash back to stock. I did the stock flash first (the new one that I was building mine from) and I havent had a problem since. I then put back my modded ROM and have reflashed another 50 times with no problems. That was in Aug.

check if your windows have automatic updates recently? i posted in your romthread and then made a search to try help you out love you are using threaded e-mail and need your updates , i read some had issues back in the blackstone forum that their usb drivers updated and then had same issue as you, so one remotley possible issue could be your usb drivers somehow mysteriously changed.
but i am not sure just trying to help

There is a way to flash the stock SPL via SD card. Check out the HardSPL thread and a search should find it.

Maybe maybe not
I found a guy close to my office who says he has some flashing software he bought. he reckons he can flash it abck to stock like it came from the factory. Says it will take about 45 minutes cause if it doesnt work he has to open the phone and bridge ic's or something and then flash it. says i can watch him do it. Will charge me 35$ if he gets it right. Will go there in the morning and try and get it sorted. Maybe i can get the software from him somehow. Will let you know

Umm, good luck with that

Yeah, keep us updated on that please...
Right now, mine is stuck on an infinite loop. It wont turn on without being plugged in. When plugged in, I still cant turn it on with the Hardware buttons, but it shows the orange light like its charging. About 5 mins later, it shows the Touch Pro 2 screen, then shuts itself back off. Over and over.

[Q] webOS Doctor throws an error at 12% (Doesn't freeze)

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a fix. I had an HP Touchpad that I gave up for dead 6 months back, but after browsing on here for a bit I found Jscullins' tpdebrickv004, which miraculously brought the thing back to life. Thing is, it also might have corrupted my partitioning, because the touchpad wouldn't boot up into either webOS or Cyanogenmod after its battery charged all the way.
I ran the webOS doctor which threw an error at 8%, so I looked that up and it seemed to be a partition error. Alright, fixing the internal storage didn't seem to be that big of a deal, so I followed this tutorial here and here, and after both of those webOS doctor went to 12% before throwing an error while flashing.
All the guides I've found online (and I've dug pretty deep) for fixing the 12% haven't given me any luck (like the one here). I've followed all the steps from here, but nothing changed.
In addition, when running ACMEInstaller, there is a resizefat error thrown:
Code:
Initial installation detected, changing LVM layout...
Shrinking media partition size...
/etc/init.d/S90partition: line 63: /webos/usr/sbin/fsck.vfat: not found
/etc/init.d/S90partition: line 70: /sebos/bin/resizefat: not found
resizefat failed! Aborting! Please reboot
I can't figure it out, so I'm reaching out to you guys - is there any way I can save this tablet, and if so, is there any information you guys might need so that you can help me do it? It's different from the problem everyone else is having, which is where webOS doctor freezes, not one where it throws a direct error. I've tried things from threads all over the place, but nothing's ever worked. If there's any help forthcoming, that'd be great, and it'd also help out anyone else with this same problem.
EDIT: Alright, the problem's been solved thanks to jcsullins over at #webos-internals! It was discovered that the touchpad I assumed to be 16Gb was actually 32Gb. To fix the problem, simply reuse tpdebrick with the 32 argument, resize the partitions according to the 32Gb storage, use webDoctor 3.0.0, and you're set!

Hard reset through recovery mode stuck on "Formatting /data" on Nexus 6 phone

Hard reset through recovery mode stuck on "Formatting /data" on Nexus 6 phone
So my phone wasn't charging correctly. It was not charging while plugged in and I was a little worried that I might have messed something up. After searching on forums and others problems, I did find something that I had not tried, a factory reset. Now, I would just like to make it clear that in this situation I am a complete idiot and panic over these things, so my actions are truly idiotic. It is 2 A.M. and I didn't have a new charging cable, so I did not try swapping the cables. The only option left that I had hope with was hard resetting my nexus six. I looked up a video on it, and did every move correctly. I confirmed I want the reset to be done and all it has been stuck at is saying exactly this:
Supported API: 3
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
It has been stuck on this screen for at least 45 minutes, and on most forums people say it lasts like 20 minutes. I am freaking out right now guys, please help.

Be patient. If you had a lot of data it takes a while for the device to both format and encrypt the internal storage.
