Thanks for all the pm's everyone. When I get off work 3pm Eastern I will respond to all of you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
I'll give ya $125 right now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PMDMT5:
I don't know if this would hold true in your area, but you can donate old/broken cell phones to some domestic violence shelters. They turn it into whatever carrier they use and they will give them a new phone that they can distribute to their residents. Totally unrelated to the post, but thought I would share if it can benefit someone in need.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] casenickles:
Ok everyone I wanted to reply to each of you who sent me a pm but it's just too many so suffice to say I found someone interested and providing they complete the deal when my new Tilt arrives it will be sold.

If this gentlemen does not follow through I'll respond to one of the other offers that have been made.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] casenickles:
If what you say is true then it might be a good idea to pursue if I a buyer doesn't follow through.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] slowatsch:
In my optinion it is an voltage/electronic issue. My Tilt died once when I plugged it on chrage in a old house, which could have not the best wiring and stuff. This was the only time I pluged it on on an other place than work and home. And it works now since months without problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] casenickles:
I'm hearing this a lot, or a variation thereof. Not sure how true it is.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TomH123:
We can get a refurb for $200 and have at least some assurance that it's going to work. Why would someone spend $250 on yours when you've already said it's having problems. Lower your price a bit and you might have some takers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dantegl36:
I've had my tilt since November and have never had a problem with it. It even suffered a major fall onto a metal surface when I fell while running across a bridge on ice one day. Oddly enough the phone held up strong and I've dropped the phone various other times (not intentionally of course) and have never once had any sort of hardware issue. Other than the driver issue on this phone I am completely satisfied with the care and thought HTC put into it while designing it. Just my two cents. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion...:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] casenickles:
Perhaps you need to reread the thread, especially the first post.

First off the one I'm having problems with is not the one I am going to sell. I intend to sell the phone I receive as a replacement for the broken one. In the U.S. AT&T charges $350 for the phone for *new customers and a lot more than that if you aren't a new customer. The price of $250 is $100 off the price for a new contracted customer.

Additionally I have had many *takers as you call them already. In fact within the first 12 hours of the post I had 5 offers, 3 of which met my asking price.

Good day sir
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] casenickles:
I'll concede that it is my opinion that the phone is poorly designed....however all the problems I have been having with the handsets are not opinions. They are facts, and apparently they are reproducible as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jallenclark:
I haven't seen any of your problems. Maybe you just had some dumb luck. I am sure there are a ton of people are this forum with problems that because there are a lot of tilts out there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DeepThought:
I agree. TyTN 2 is my 8th WM device and in my opinion it's by far the most stable one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kierandill:
Was this an April Fools Day joke post? Who is going to buy your Tilt for $250 plus shipping (or a $200 refurb) when they can get a new one from NewEgg for $185 and free shipping?

:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtreMe_G:
185 plus new contract. if you wanna compare prices on newegg, compare it with a no-contract price

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] casenickles:
Many people want a Tilt who already have AT&T service and do not wish to start a new line of service, in which case even on NEWEGG.COM the purchase price is $519. Clearly $250 for a Tilt is a lot lower than $519. This isn't a contest to offer a rock bottom price, it's an offer of a reasonable price on an expensive phone.

The no contract price is $519.

UPDATE - AT&T Dropped The Ball Again!!!

So my new Tilt hasn't arrived yet and I just got off the phone with AT&T trying to determine why and here's their answer verbatim.....

"It looks like we didn't have your address and so the replacement that was sent was returned to the manufacturer"

***WTH***

Here's the rest of our conversation nearly verbatim (shortened for clarity)

ME: Don't all new lines of service require the customers address to start?

REP: Yes

Me: Then how was my service started and my number ported, and for that matter how was my replacement returned to the manufacturer when you didn't have my address, packages can't be sent without an address can they?

REP: I don't know sir

REP: It's indicated here that the problem was a bad battery is that correct?

ME: NO! it's the phone, if it was the battery I wouldn't need a handset replacement would I?

REP: Well lets just verify your address so I can order another replacement for you.

ME: OK....my address is XXXXXXXX

REP: OK I have ordered the replacement and it is being sent express delivery......now we just need to transfer you to customer care so they can change your address and verify that with you.

ME: ***WTH***

REP: I'm sorry sir I can't change your address that can only be done with customer care is there anything else I can do for you.

---More dumb stuff was said but ya'll get the hint---

Now I get to wait again and see if the phone gets here before I move. I just bought some new property and have a move planned for just over a week from now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
Just my 2 cents. I would be weary of purchasing this phone.

First, why on earth would someone rather throw away a new phone, than donate/give it to someone? It simply makes no sense to me that an honest person would put a $500 phone in a recycling bin. Since he is willing to trash it, then obviously the point isn't money, wouldn't he volunteer to send it to someone in exchange for shipping cost, plus a couple bucks for gas or whatever? Or for that matter, why not keep it as a replacement phone? Wouldn't cost anything to keep it in a drawer. Or doesn't he have any friends? I am sure at least one of them would accept it as a gift, which wouldn't cost him shipping etc.

The second thing that makes me think this may be a fishy deal is that he posted 11 days ago that his replacement was on the way. I have AT&T and I can say that replacement phones arrive in 2 days, next day if you select Priority (which costs extra). Why in the world would someone wait almost 2 weeks to talk to AT&T about an item that should have arrived in 2 days?

Third, In one post he says he refuses to donate it because it is defective, and does not work well (post #4). In a later post he gives assurance that the phone he is selling is not defective (Post #28).

Don't take me wrong, I often sell things too, I need the money, and unfortunately can't afford to give away high dollar items right now, which is why I am not online saying I am going to throw away a $500 item. I think the fact that he said he planned to discard the phone, then refuses to accept offers for $50 or $100 (or whatever) makes his position pretty questionable.

Again, he may very well be legit, but my opinion is that you should be weary if you are considering purchasing this item.

PS: AT&T stores will NOT handle warranty exchanges. They will exchange your phone within 30 days there, but they will not ship it to you, they give you a new one at the store immediately. After 30 days, you must CALL warranty exchange, they will ship you a refurbished phone (not a new one), which will take 2 days to arrive. An AT&T store rep will NEVER offer to get the exchange done for you, because they CAN'T, even if they wanted to.

WEARY of this THREAD!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
lol, good point. I promise to use spell check next time :p

Thank you Mr. Webster :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] casenickles:
Rebuttal.

Why, because you said so? Haha. Good thing your weary or else you may have scored a phone at a deeply discounted price, wouldn't want that.

This has been addressed.

To me it's not worth $500, nor did I pay that for it. The main point isn't about money, it's abuout hassle, the money part has been discussed.

Why would I want a phone that I can't put my trust in, be it a replacement or not? Hence the sell it or toss it scenario.

Ever heard of depreciation?

I have many, most of whom have better phones, or can't afford to carry cell phones at all.

Actually the warranty lady I spoke with informed me that after a replacement is authorized, delivery takes 5 days unless you are willing to pay extra for express shipping (which I wasn't). So if you count the day you ordered the replacement that's 6 days (remedial math is fun).

Again it's 6 days and mail where I live is known for being late, several days even. I like to wait for good measure, no need to call just to be told give it another day.

Indeed the phone was defective, and it is also true that the phone I intended to sell was not defective. If however you're referring to my opinion on the phone being poorly designed or in other words defective by design then yes even the "properly functioning" unit is "defective". You simply took something out of context and sort of mish mashed meaning. I forgive you.

If an item gives me too much hassle I might end up not caring how much it cost.....and if I'm really feeling the anger I wouldn't hesitate to take a hammer or some gasoline to it if I might get some enjoyment out of it. Don't extrapolate your reservations about trashing a high dollar item to how I might feel about it. Had I not sold the item it would have ended up in the recycling bin never to be thought of again, and I would have been happy....which is my entire goal.

Man you didn't really read the thread or something, I had many (more than 13) offers for the phone which met my asking price. Since I had no trouble getting what I asked for why would I NOT turn down offers for less than (more remedial math) half?

Actually this is going to depend directly on whether your sales person wants to assist you in ordering a replacement via the customer care department at AT&T....mine did. I would also venture to say many sales reps may say they don't handle replacements just so they can make you do it on your own.

This is actually correct, per my experience anyway.

Yes you do have to call, but your sales rep may assist you, in-store even. Additionally you may receive a new or refurbished phone, they do both but they reserve the right to not only choose which they send to you, but also they do not have to disclose which you will receive.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
Once again, you have shown that you are not an honest person. You are VERY quick to reply with smart comments, but not very quick to provide the truth.

AT&T will NOT replace your used handset with a new one unless you are in the 30 day time frame. They replace used handsets with refurbished ones. PERIOD.

AT&T will NEVER tell you that your phone will take 5 or 6 days to arrive. It takes 2-3 days via standard shipping (in my experience it has always been 2). They do NOT have Express delivery, but they do have Priority shipping which is 1-2 days (has always arrived next day FedEx for me and the package does say standard overnight, I have had 5 replacement Tilts).

There is really no point in arguing any of these point. They are easily verified by ANYONE by calling AT&T.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] casenickles:
The truth? Oh you mean your version of the truth. I wouldn't call someone who had a different experience as me a liar, nor should you.

You appear to lack sufficient comprehension skills. To reiterate, in-store replacements occur (per policy, not always in practice) within 30 days. To the matter of replacements that are authorized past 30 days, those are handled at 1-800-801-1101 (your sales rep can give you this number and assist you if necessary). I was informed that a ground shipped replacement would take 5 days.....keep in mind that you may have had a different experience (like 2 days or w/e). Additionally I was informed that AT&T reserves the right to send me a refurbished or a new device and that there is no way to tell which I would receive and they don't have to divulge that information.

I was told it would take that long for ground shipping. Or I could pay extra to have it shipped express (FedEx), which I chose not to do the first time I ordered the replacement. The second time I called to inquire about why I had not received it yet I was told it was their error and the second shipped replacement would be shipped FedEX with the charge for overnight waved.

They do have express delivery, it's handled by FedEx and costs extra.

Yet here you are
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RobbotCC:
Hey all you Sharp 306sh users!

I love this phone and decided to start a ROM port to Oreo 8.0.0!

To date here's what i got

1. Device tree built

2. ASOP stock rom built successfully

Here's what I need to get done next

1. Access bootloader to flash images

2. Test for vendor blobs needed so I can make the vendor tree (if required)

Your help on this would be greatly appreciated as I am just getting my feet we in this process, this is a great phone and I would love to see it updated.

Please let me know if you are interested in helping with this project!

Edit 8/6/2018: Device tree is on Github,

https://github.com/RobertCC18/sharp-306sh-rom

More to come once kernel is built!

Edit 10/12/2018:

I am uploading the first test build so I can get some help with the debug. THIS ROM IS GETS STUCK AT THE SHARP BOOT LOGO AND IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION DEVICES!!!!

That being said, any help and logs that you can send are greatly appreciated.

This zip can be flashed through TWRP, check the downloads section

Great! I´ve got a 306SH model, i can be a tester... waiting for your first zip :highfive:
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Rhioun:
Awesome.

I tried this exact same thing before, but gave up soon after I couldn't diagnose what stopped my device from booting with my custom ROMs, as I could never find the logs.

It looks like you're making more headway than me, so I'd love to test it, or even just help out.

Keep on going! A GitHub would be great progress.

Update - 7/24/2018

Recompiling Kernel with debug drivers included - current compiled kernel missing RAM Console support

Github repo coming soon!
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RussianWhiskey:
Great! Always wanted a custom room on this phone. I can test it and try it out too
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Rhioun:
Good progress.

Make sure to keep us updated, once you have a GitHub repo, development should speed up.

I'm sure there are a few techies with this phone that would love to contribute to your ROM, myself included.

By the way, you said ASOP instead of AOSP in the original post.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RobbotCC:
Thanks, whoops on the typo!

Been busy with work but hoping to upload device tree, kernel base and current build, waiting for kernel to finish building with RAM console drivers.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RobbotCC:
Update 8/6/2018

Github Created

Device tree is added, kernel coming soon!
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Rhioun:
About accessing the bootloader to flash images, I believe we've done this before.

Tewilove, the man behind rooting the 306SH managed to access it, and made a custom one to flash, if I do remember correctly.

https://xdaforums.com/aquos-crystal/general/temp-root-306sh-t3129456

Worth a look.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Rhioun:
No development in a while. We all hope you're still there.

I visited the Github and just found it to be text files and folders. Could you possibly post the WIP kernel or other vendor blobs on there,

so we have at least a basis to begin work on?

Thanks,
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] dzvxo:
This is an amazing idea. My 306SH is rooted and ready for action.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RobbotCC:
Yes I am still here and working on this, just haven't had much time lately. I will try to get the kernel and vendor blobs up within the next few days

Status Update

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the delay in development but I hit a major snag with the kernel build and am still working on overcoming it. The needed defconfig is missing so I found one that should get us close, at the very least it should allow us to see the RAM debug messages on boot failure.

Also, my internet has been to slow to upload the kernel to github but I have an upgrade and should be able to get it uploaded within the next couple days.

Please share any information that you find regarding this phone here on XDA and beyond, any info you can provide will help me get this up and running faster!
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] dzvxo:
Hey, how's everything going? Any luck?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] nima0003:

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RobbotCC:
Hey All,

Sorry for the delayed responses, this phone seems to be a lost cause. But I am not a quitter lol!

I am hopeing to get back into the swing if things here in the next few weeks and will post more updates and files here shortly

Current problems:

No debugging enabled

Kernel needs patched to support Android 6+
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] dzvxo:
We wish you the best of luck!

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
You aren't going to notice any difference with the cheap headphones that are included with the phone. I wasn't even aware that the quad dac would work with those things.

Plug your phone into a good amp, or try a pair of (at least mid-range) headphones, and you will notice a difference.

Excuse the analogy but what you're effectively doing is the equivalent of sticking a set of Pirelli P-Zero tires on a Lada and then wondering why driving dynamics haven't changed much. Your cheap earphones are the bottleneck.
