There are two kinds of " unlocked ". There is sim unlocked, which means you can use your phone on any network or with any gsm carrier.

There is also " cid unlocked " which means that your can use any carrier's rom or any custom rom that is written for the Kaiser.

It sounds as if your phone is only sim unlocked, in which case you can only flash an Orange rom. To fully unlock your phone, follow the steps on the first page of this thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gog1209:
I should have been more clear

Sorry i'm new to this and should have been more clear, I have already followed the instructions to remove the CID lock, so both sim and cid locks are removed. What I need now is the actual rom/radio to flash with. I was hoping to use one that is not connected to any specific provider like the orange rom. I assume there is some kind of official htc rom or some kind but really i have no idea which is the latest etc as there is quite a few i found listed on wiki download page.

Look in the Rom Development Forum at a few different ones to see whats best for you but PDACorner Ultimate-X V9 by Abusalza is a good stable rom with loads of features and programs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gog1209:
Brilliant thanks for the heads up mskip, downloaded your suggestion and the phone is so much better, no more orange at last. Brilliant guide as well for unlocking the CID, a few hours ago I didnt even know what CID was but thanks to your guide I quickly learned about it.

Many thanks.

I don't actually have the USB cable for my Kaiser (it's a hand-me-down), so synching with ActiveSync via USB cable is a little awkward for me. :P

Has there been any update on a method for initially flashing a hardspl using the SD card? I seem to recall reading that something was in the works a couple of months ago, but I haven't seen a follow up. I'd really like to get the stock 6.0 off here and replace it with something better, but it looks like I can't do that, as I can't get a hardspl onto the device. Do you have any recommendations?

Radio Flashing Questions

Ok so I'm fearful of bricking my phone, but I'm really tired of searching endlessly for my answers so I'll pose my questions here. First time flashing n00b, FYI....

1) The Radio Flashing instructions are incredibly vague, especially for doing it via ActiveSync (my card readers aren't SDHC compatible and all I have are microSDHC cards). The closest I can find is in this thread, but technically those aren't Kaiser instructions so I'm not sure. The "Ultimate" Radio thread only has instructions for SD flashing.

2) Does flashing the Radio wipe out anything?

3) Does it matter if ROM or Radio flashing comes first?

4) I was thinking the ROM would/should include the Radio, but it doesn't appear to? There's no mention of the Radio in the build posts, Witschey just happens to use his own ROM and lists the Radio he uses as well in his signature.

My status:

~AT&T Tilt

~Flashed to Build 23071 of Bare WM6.5 by Witschey

~ROM version: v.23701 - C - 1 WWE

~Radio version: 1.27.14.09 (what I started with?)

~Bootloader shows:

KAIS1*0

SPL-3.29.Hard

CPLD-8

Serial

~My sound doesn't work for ringtones or WMP. Camera works fine. Able to make outgoing calls. Radio is assumed to be the culprit. Everything else appears to work, though GPS might be off-kilter.

My steps:

Followed the instructions in the first post for steps 1, 2, 3 (ActiveSync), and 5. I skipped 4 (unlocking) because I don't plan to leave AT&T and can do this later if needed, I assume. I skipped 5 since it was "optional", I was thinking that since the Radio was listed on the ROM page that it was included? HardSPL 3.29 and JumpSPL1.56-KAIS worked fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jw5801:
Well there you go, I didn't think it was a standard connection, so I didn't think I'd be able to get one! Went out and bought one, then came back and flashed HardSPL on without any troubles, and from a Windows 7 virtual machine no less!

Thanks for the guide! Now to play with some shiny new ROMs :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Glad it all worked out ok :)

Have fun there are lots of great Roms to try out and play with :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
You already have done the hardest part by flashing HardSPL so you have no worries about bricking your device, especially by flashing a Radio as it doesnt flash anything that could possibly brick it. Here are the answers to your questions:

1. The Radio Flashing instructions are as detailed as they need to be. All you have to do is synch with your pc and run the RUU with the radios nbh file in the same folder. After that its just clicking ok and thats it.

2. Radio Flashing doesnt wipe out any data on your device. its seperate to the Rom and doesnt affect it in any way. The Radio handles the communications side of the phone such as sound, camera, bluetooth, and gps.

3. Its always better to flash your Rom first as the Radio needs to match the version of the Rom (i.e. WM6, WM6.1). Saying that it doesnt really matter if you flash the Radio first or the Rom first as long as they go together or you will have problems with the things I mentions in the last question. You cant brick your phone by flashing a Radio that doesnt match your Rom so dont worry about that.

4. Radios used to be included with custom Roms but I guess the chefs realised there wasnt any benefit to including it. Different Radios work better in different locations and networks so once someone finds a Radio that works well for them its more beneficial to keep it and just change Roms as neccessary. Not many Roms come with a Radio included anymore.

If you look in the Ultimate Radio Guide then it lists which Radios go with the different operating systems. I use 1.70.19.09 with a WM6.1 Rom and it has done me well for a long time. I think all WM6.1 Radios will work with WM6.5 unless stated otherwise.

I hope this has answered all your questions and put your mind at ease about some things. Flashing a Radio or Rom really isnt Hard or dangerous as long as you have HardSPL on your phone so I would recommend that you just go for it :)

Re: Radio Flashing Questions

Thanks for the reply mskip,

I believe you've more than sufficiently answered my questions. I was thinking I had to be in the bootloader before running the KaiserCustomRUU.exe but it launches the bootloader itself seems.

You said, "I think all WM6.1 Radios will work with WM6.5 unless stated otherwise." This was an assumption I was making since Witschey uses a "6.1" Radio with his 6.5 ROM, but I'm glad to hear someone say it.

The Radio Flashing worked and solved the sound issue, as expected. I'll have to keep an eye on the battery life, etc. Thanks for the help!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Enter bootloader screen (read first post if u dont know how) and read the second line it should say 3.29.Hard if you have HardSPL flashed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
Clear Storage is a software initiated Hard Reset.

Hard Resets do not delete Hardspl nor do they re-lock your phone

Battery Drain !!!

Hi Mskip/Dave,

Request your help, the current configuration of the TYTN II:

R 1.65.16.25

G 25.83.40.02H

D 3.TPCElite

HardSPL v3.29

ROM TPC elite mega v11 with M2D

The issue is: Major Battery Drain.

History:

I have been using this config/ROM from past 2 months worked very fine, no battery drain issues. One fine day around 2 weeks back storage space was full. After searching this forum and main threads of TPC Elite ROM found that it was due to DEBLOGGER; as suggested in the forum deleted the folder and registry entries: SPACE issue resolved. But since that day battery drains 15% approx in an hour. I am sure battery drain cannot be due to CPROG.log. Also, I have nt done any ROM, SPL, Radio update during/till this time.

Now since last week, as suggested by some senior members in TPC main thread to change Radio and SPL to 1.70 and 3.34 (which is suitable for this ROM).

The core problem trying to resolve Battery Drain:

Approaches tried:

(Please note: I have "VISTA Ultimate" in the laptop)

1) SPL 3.34

2) Radio 1.70

3) Reflash the ROM with same bundle for Version 11 (TPC Elite) which was used earlier.

4) Reflash back to OEM ROM (HTC Asia, downloaded from HTC site)

I have done the steps of renaming the .NBH file to KAISIMG.NBH on the SD, in short as suggested in the step by step guide as explained.

** (RUU-USB and SD method):

a) With USB, I get ERROR 260 - Connection in RUU.exe (No anti-virus and firewalls)

b) With SD, I get message "No Image found !!!".

** This is happening for all the 4 approaches given above.

Guys, I dont know what to do since HTC service centers have pathetic service delivery/time in Mumbai, India.

Thanks

Ravi
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
I'm not sure what you are trying to do. I'd try changing the ROM and seeing if the battery performance improves.

From what you've put I think you are trying to re-flash the stock ROM.

If SD flashing is failing, either you've not got the card FAT 32 Formatted (do this with your PC), the image is named wrong (it happens ;)) or the card is a dheap make (for some reasons cheper cards don't USB flash, I always suggest Sandisk).

HTH, if not let me know :).

error 264:Connection

Complete noob here.

I am trying to put Windows Mobile 6.5 on my AT&T Tilt (not Tilt 2). I am attempting to follow along with the instructions at the beginning of this thread, and I am confident I am doing so. However, I get stuck while flashing HardSPL 3.29. Everthing works find until I get to step 11, Run the KaiserCustomRUU.exe file. It eventually comes up with error 264: connection. (I've searched this thread for 264 and have found nothing.)

I do have the tri-color screen with USB on the bottom of the screen. However, I can see that my computer is not properly connected to the phone to have ActiveSync set up.

I am running Windows 7--would this have anything to do with it? My phone shows up as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM in the devices and printers listing. Its hardware properties does show mobile device. But it is like ActiveSync just doesn't see it there.

There is no ActiveSync icon in the system tray. It was there before I rand JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe on the phone--it is like the computer can no longer see the phone after running this.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
For Windows Mobile 7, you need the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Centre.

Try installing this and try again.

Make sure you disable USB connections in step 10.

Looking to upgrade ROM and before that I tried upgrading the hardSPL using instructions on first page. Formatted a 8gb card to fat32, copied KAISDIAG.NBH and KAISIMG.NBH to root of the card.

Have you tried flashing via microSD Card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] blm71:
I did try the microsd and it got to the rainbow screen and then would do nothing more. Would not give me the option to hit the power button. Now does the microsd card have to be empty except for the renamed file? Or does it just have to be on the card itself, not in a folder? Also with the other option, I tried two different roms with the same result, still the 1.00.000.0 when you hit update.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
For the microSD Card method the card wants to be formatted with FAT32 but it doesnt need to be empty, as long as the file is in the ROOT of the card and named KAISIMG.nbh (renamed from the roms nbh file), you should then be able to enter botoloader to flash automatically.

When flashing via usb dont worry too much what it says as long as the correct files are in the directory when you run CustomRUU.exe it will flash the right file.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] blm71:
Please clarify

Could you please clarify what file should be in the rom file with kaiser custom ruu, using file extensions, and also for the micro sd method, what file should I rename? I think that would be a good start. Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
For activesync you want the customruu.exe and a .nbh file that holds the rom. The .nbh file will be arount 50MB - 120Mb depending on what the rom contains.

For microSD you just rename the .nbh file that contains the rom to KAISIMG.nbh and then copy that file ONLY to the root of your microSD Card. The bootloader will pick it up and flash it.

Dont copy KAISIMG.nbh to your microSD Card and then flash via activesync, and if you do flash via microSD Card method make sure you delete the image file after you have flashed.

Also make sure your battery is OVER 50% because if you flash via microSD your phone wont be checked to make sure it has enough battery life before flashing.

sorry. i have hardspl 3.29, and then flashed dutty's 6.1 rom. then i manually put my phone into bootloader so i can unlock radio (step 2 in kaiser unlocker) and when it says 'verifying pda' or whatever it pretty much stops, saying that my device isnt plugged in.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
You do not need to put the phone in bootloader mode manually when flashing the patched radio. Sync your phone and pc, then run the unlocker and click step2 to flash the radio. You might have been mislead by the message that popped up. Just flash as you would a normal rom by following the steps in the RUU.

After you have flashed the patched radio it will reboot so you can run step3. Just leave the phone connected.

IF when you reboot the phone the screen is black its because you need to flash a true WM6.1 rom, if I recall duttys 6.1 rom was actually a WM6.0 rom with some mods but I dont think it was a proper 6.1 version. If the screen loads fien then just proceed with step3 to unlock the sim.

When all thats done you will want to flash a normal 6.1 radio from the ultimate radio guide. You dont want to leave the patched one on your device.

Hope that clarifies things a bit for you.

All you need to do is follow the steps in this thread to flash a 6.5 rom. Since 6.5 is not being released for the Kaiser, only custom and " stock like " custom roms are available.

Some are full of features and some are naked or light ( with only the basic software ) . Your best bet is to read the first few pages of any 6.5 roms that look interesting to you and decide which one will best suit your personnel needs.They are all fast and stable, but remember, they all must be considered beta.

hi bros....though i have been using the kaiser for abt 2 years now, but i have always been flashing using the update ROM for htc. As such, till now i am still using win6.1. However, i am tempted to get flashed to the win6.5 now, seeing all those nice roms out there. Just like nikky.s, I'm not sure whether to just d/l the 6.5 rom which i like and just flash it like the htc rom or whether i should do all those stuffs in this thread like flash hardspl etc. (Is HardSPL a compulsory step?). How do we ever determine whether our tilt needs CIDunlock etc? All I know is i am having original htc's win6.1 rom inside, so i dun know what to do next.

All the while i thought flashing of roms is just download a rom you like and flash it like normal, so those hardspl thingy is it necessary? Or how do we know what Hardspl or whether which latest version to use?

this is what i'm having rite now:

original win6.1 rom from htc

ROM version: 3.29.707.0

ROM date: 05/07/08

Radio version: 1.65.16.25

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
HardSPL IS essential if you want to flash a custom rom. If you are merely updating a stock rom then you just download and flash it but for anything else which includes all the custom roms in the rom development forum you need to flash HardSPL first which will allow you to flash any type of rom you want including the WM6.5 roms that you want to put on your phone. HardSPL will also allow you to flash roms from different carriers so you dont need to do a seperate CID unlock.

Just HardSPL and then flash your desired rom using the instructions in the first post. Check on the roms thread first though just in case there are any special flashing instructions for that rom.

Good luck if you need any more help just shout theres always someone around to help :)
