Do you even get the UAE4all welcome screen? This should be the first thing to appear. If not it could be a problem with your kickstart. Try running it with no kickstart file at all. You should get the welcome screen, and then a screen with the boing ball in the background and text saying something like "no kickstart file".
If you do the above, and still get a black screen it could be you don't have enough RAM on your phone. Have you shut down as many other things on your phone as possible such as bluetooth/wifi and any other apps?
Please report back. Good luck!
