To see hw rev use healthcheck or type in xterm:
softupd -D --local
flasher --local -i

good luck

I can confirm that mine was indeed on revision 2204 and had the freezing on u-boot problem with version 44 of the kernel. Worked upon downgrading to 43 and now just booted with 45 and everything seems to work still. Thanks to titan and everyone else who worked on fixing this.

sry for my late reply, already sleep last night

the step:
- if already in kernel v44.
- Make sure you reset /etc/pmconfig to the defaults freq
sr_vdd1_autocomp 0
sr_vdd2_autocomp 0
scaling_max_freq 600000
scaling_min_freq 125000
- check bat is full or more than 70%.
- unplug Charger than Reboot the phone.
- go to app Manager & tap Update.
- there u go. update Kernel 45 until finish.
- reboot & check the phone Kernel version

open X Terminal & type:

Code:

uname -r

should return"2.6.28.10power<version>"
If it does not, you should reboot or try to install again from X Terminal. (make sure internet is ON)

Code:

apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel-power kernel-power-flasher

reboot, and test again.

The problem for a lot of us is that we cant boot up the phone at all and so have no access to xterm
