Stickster

I know this is very late compared to the date of this thread. But what worked for me in the same situation (firmware 1.20, wouldn't boot past spinner screen) was to turn off the unit, and restart with the SETUP button held down. This starts up into a mode where you can calibrate and test the touchscreen. I didn't do anything else. I just turned the unit off at that point, and restarted, and this time voila, startup finished normally. I've rebooted many times since then with no issues. Hope this helps someone.
