Help! AT&T Tilt will not fully boot!! Shuts off!!!

Hi, I have had numerous problems with my AT&T Tilt that I have always been able to have fixed here. This time I must say it is the strangest. Whenever I turn my phone on it goes through the normal boot up. The ATT page comes up and then the 3G bars up come on. Next, the green windows 6.1 screen comes on. Then the phone flashes my personal information with the top portion saying that there is no service to be found. The battery meter reads full before the phone automatically shuts off. When I try to turn the phone back on after that it turns on in the boot loader mode with the multi color screen.
The screen reads:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.0000
CPLD-8
with serial at the bottom of the screen, or USB if plugged into my computer.
Update!
When I turned my phone on without the sim card in it, the phone fully booted up and stayed on!
Have been unable to get it to boot up now with the sim card in since it turns on with the multi color boot loader screen about half of the time. Will post what happens when I get the phone to turn on!
What if you use another sim?
For troubleshooting purposes, I woudl reccomend trying to boot it up with a diffrent SIM in there... Sims CAN "go"... I had one go on me once and my phone would jsut lock up during booting (on my old Motorola MPX200 WM2003se)... Went to my carrier, and seeing as my sim was a few years old they upgraded me to a newer sim for free... Hope that is all your problem is

I am having the same problem, but I think I caused it. I had an older mobile pohone with a Cingular SIM card still in it. I swapped the SIM cards because I wanted to use the old phone, but did not want to lose the old card (I really don't know why...). Anyhow, now my Tilt will not recognize the new card when I stick it back in?!
I did search Google, and found this: http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=106311
Tilt SIM problem
if it will recognize one SIM but not the other then it is most likely the Sim that is bad. try cleaning the gold contacts on the sim with a pencil eraser to take off any stains or dirt stuck to it.

[Q] Help!!! Grainy green screen With lines during boot up

It started about 30mins ago, was on a call which the screen locks off when u on a call like stand by, but when ending the call the screen would turn on back no matter what. anyways i took out the battery thinking maybe the roms just buggy or the battery dead since it was on low. puttin back the battery the phone wouldnt turn on, took it out and tried again same result.
so i put it on charged nothing, gave it about 2mins charge it came on, but the boot screen with the X just had some green pixel dots all over and horizontal lines for about 3 secs then back to normal, but the phone wont boot pass that.
took out the batteries again, back in then try boot into fastboot or bootloader but nothing, just the boot screen, then the rom booted after waiting, took longer than normal. so i turned it off and try the bootloader or fastboot but it wont load just the rom, so i restarted to recovery mode from the rom it worked, turn off and try bootloader or fastloader mode they worked, now it seems all working fine, also my touchscreen is responding perfectly and the rom loading ok.
but anytime i boot the phone the bootscreen has the green pixels and lines just the same. im abit worried as i dont want things getting worse, is there anyway to fix this, is it some virus? could i just flush everything and start over???
any help would be greatful, thanks.

You guys think updating my radio from 4.06 to probably 5.08?
Almost similar with few different colors but I dropped my n1. It took me almost a day to see that the LCD was broken. Turn off the phone or screen and look in sunlight. They really were hard to notice and I showed to 4 different peoples whom all failed to notice until I showed them. Hope yours is just a minor software problem.
well i just check its not broken and it didnt fall from me so im guessing its software but im wondering if it can fix but i dont wanna flash my phone and things get worse or even brick my phone, so im asking before i try anything more.

[Q] New X1 user with a problem.

Recently I have bought a used X1. One day, when the battery died, after charging it, a screen with 4 colour bars appeared (red, green, blue and white). There are also some signs on the screen:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.01iNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707.
On the bottom on the screen it says "Serial".
I cannot pass through this screen to get to use my phone as always. I tried to google this on the net but found some unrelated ROM-topics that didn't help me anyway, as I'm green as grass in these things.
Any ideas what to do? Thanks in advance for your help.
This might help. Disconnect the USB cable, remove the battery, then replace it and turn on the phone. As long as there is no problem, it should boot normally. But, the phone doesn't go into boot loader on it's own usually.
Well, that didn't help. Btw, what did you mean: "disconnect usb cable"? My phone wasn't in any way connected to a PC.
have you tried a hardreset?

S3 mini not booting at all

I have this s3 mini from a friend of mine who knows nothing about phones and just stumbled upon an online guide about "how to get your s3 mini to run the latest android etc. etc.". Now, the phone itself doesn't even boot. First time i got it, i would get a messange like "movi_write card status 0 (1)" and then it would shut down. I managed to enter download mode a few times, but now nothing works. I've tried charging it through the miniUSB port but I wasn't sure it would work, so I just put the red and black wires on the battery terminals and charged it that way. I checked that it has not damaged the phone as it would still boot into the download mode. Now, after a bit, it won't do anything. No vibration, no download mode, not even the movi error. Nothing. What could have caused this?

Galaxy S4 wont boot after LCD replacment

Hi,so i replaced LCD in my I9515, I've been doing this with youtube tutorial. Before 1-2 weeks ago my phone boot normally but i couldnt see anything due to broken LCD. In store, guy took my battery and connected it to a naked motherboard and lcd to see if it's working. After replacment when i try to boot it's stuck on Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and wont boot further. I can go into download mode, computer and odin are seeing connected phone, but i cannot boot into recovery it's just showing blue "booting recovery" and nothing happening. When I charging it, the grey battery pops out, but when i unplug it the battery is still there like it's still connected. Sometimes when i try to turn it off when it's stuck on galaxy s4 logo it's turning off then on by itself like 2 or 3 times. Any ideas how to fix it? It's hardware or software problem? In a minutes i'll try to flash stock soft from sammobile. Phone was never rooted and no custom roms were installed.
EDIT Flashing with ODIN not solved the problem
EDIT Now phone doesnt show battery when connected just one vibrate and screen is blank, and when i try to boot it while connected it's just vibrating and still black screen. When it was connected to pc it was vibrating every 2 seconds. When I try to boot it's by itself trying to boot recovery but it's not booting and blue "recovery booting" just hang on top of screen and nothing happening.
