Ok to help the new users on this site iv decided to put toghther a guide on how to liberate > hard spl > flash Rom for your shift.

Step one

liberate your HTC shift

heres some great instructions with a video of the whole process

http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/266537/View-Topic/

at this stage you do not need to go an install IE/Office etc you just need to liberate the device so you can use the USB tools.

step two

make sure USB tools is working run this on your Snapview side and on vista windows mobile device centre should open up and ask you to link your device(no harm i followed through and unticked all boxes.

step 3

follow these instructions on this thread to hard spl your device.

(now at this stage when you are following these instructions make sure on your snapview side that you have disabled your modem and USB tools is running and you have the 2 arrows at the top)

on vista side make sure your device centre has picked up your device. Also do not have any USB devices connected to your shift (as this causes a problem and hangs with a disabled USB message!!!)

follow these instructions---

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406606

Step 4 (almost there)

download a rom of your choice

my current fav is i00's rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=480525

extract the rom you should have 2 files in the folder

CustomRUU.exe

RUU_Signed.nbh

if you can only see one file open winrar and then go through win rar to extract -

run the .exe adn thats it.

if it fails ....

on vista bring up comm manager click on advance and reset snapVue

check to see if its restarting and then restart vista

now first go into vista

launch device windows mobile device centre

click on mobile device settings

connection settings

untick allow USB connections

now go into snap view run USB TOOLS

give it a minute

go back into vista

run the rom update......

if you follow this through each stage the steps will make sense to you eg USB tools etc

good luck

HTC USB Tool

I cannot attach the unit, is there a proces to troubleshoot the usb tools
[Shift Development] Killbillprime:
on the vista side in comm manager make sure that you have turned off wifi - modem - bluetooth, then click on advance and reset snapview, then reset vista and try again once its all loaded up, if it still does not work, uninstall mobile device manager on vista and reinstall again, treat it exactly the same as if you where having issues trying to connect your phone via cable to your laptop/pc....

[Shift Development] vilus:
always back to initial snapvue after hardSPL

Hi, same kind of situation here.

I have a problem when trying to HardSPL my shift:

rom version 1.30.414.1 wwe

rom date 02/26/08

radio version 1.58.21.23

protocol version 25.65.30.04H

liberated, UsbTool & SoftReset work well

IE, office mobile, total commander, notes installed & work fine

enableRapi OK

but when proceeding with ShiftHardSPLFinal, when it flashes, It goes from 0%

to 100% within 2 seconds and after the shift reboots, I have the original snapview !!!!!

I did it 3 or 4 times, same result.

followed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406606&page=16 post # 158 - Cmonex: took battery out, and post # 160 - KOS : uninstalled Origami, disabled UAC,

still same problem : instant install of version 1.00xxx, and ......... back to initial snapvue, ( not liberated)

would you have any idea ???

thanks for your help
[Shift Development] Killbillprime:
dude if it goes from 0-100 in a few secs may be it was a correput download- re download and try again-

sorry cant be more help at the moment - i no longer have a shift-
[Shift Development] vilus:
Thanks I had not thought about this possibility, too much focused on complex possibilities, I will try again.
[Shift Development] vilus:
EDIT: nope, with freshly downloaded ShifthardSPLfinal file, same problem.
[Shift Development] executive66:
Hi all, sorry for my english.

My experience is almost the same. In my opinion the HSPL process is not progressively indicated, but it happens regularly. Moreover, an hard reset follows the precess, thus, at the end, me too found WM in factory default mode. I liberated WM again, but till now i wasn't able to flash another ROM just to check if my Shift has been HardSPL'ed.
[Shift Development] encephale:
After many days without sleeping , i've just made the first call with my shift. Thank you, thank you and thank you.

we are waiting for keyborad solution, it's AZERTY but it shows QWERTY when typing.

Thank for all you did, you do and you'll do for us.
[Shift Development] louger20:
HELP!

I have been searching for possible solutions but cannot find one. Is it possible to Liberate a shift without a working sim card. I left ATT for Sprint years ago, so I do not have an active sim card.
[G1 Android Development] inte:
Does the Android G1 (or any other Android phone) support the CPHS "Alternate Line Service" (aka Orange Line2, One 2 Switch, A1 Xtraline or eplus Privateline). By using this service one can easily switch between two lines for outgoing calls. Incoming calls can be assigned to the called line by different ringtones. Most HTC hardware does usually support this service, but does Android?
[G1 Android Development] Datruesurfer:
Sounds like a feature that would be need to implemented by the carrier. I would contact them for an official answer.
[G1 Android Development] inte:
Well, of course this feature has to be supported by the mobile carrier! And as I already mentioned, it IS indeed supported by several networks, like Orange (UK), eplus (DE) and A1 (AT)! However, only most, but not all phones support the feature. In order to be able to use this feature, the phone must display a dedicated menu to switch the lines. This menu is often deactivated if the carrier does not support the ALS-service and the phone is branded, such as the T-mobile G1. I wonder if there is any possibility to activate the menus in the unbranded version, or if Android supports this feature at all!?

Thanks, Chris
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] l3urton32:
Ok, this might be the first real problem I've had with my tilt, in a sense that I have no freakin clue what happened or how to fix it. The front buttons on the tilt as well as my keyboard decided they wanted to stop working and I have no clue how to bring them back... let me start from the beginning.

I installed m2d about 2 weeks ago, its kind of laggy but I'm still impressed with the overall UI as it compliments the tilt. Some bugs started popping up here and there but through the forum I was able to make it run relatively smoothly. Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts together. Than today my screen would wake up for no reason, with no programs or application running in the front or background of the device. It was annoying to say the least. Than I got my first text of the day and went to respond using the actual keyboard, no dice. No response from the keyboard. So as Im typing using the stylus I tried to delete something, and the backspace button on the touch keypad isn't working, so more problems. I want to try and hard reset the device to see if that fixes the problem, but since I can't use the hard buttons on the front of the device I can't hard reset (the scroll wheel, ptt, and ok buttons aren't working either) Is this anything anyone has ever heard of? My tilt is kind of battered after a year of use, but nothing significant has happened within the last month to make me think that something inside came loose, especially since this just started today and it was just sitting on my table all night. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tsfatt:
might be "m2d" not compatible ... hair wired ..

I wonder ..whether we can install window CE from pc to h/p through usb link ...

"Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts"

r u using original usb cable ..b'cos now a day I saw many only using normal "small" usb cable head which easily spoil the connector at phone ... too loose for that sharp..

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserII101:
and your usb is probably whack

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] k2rolla503:
having same exact issue

ya it happened to me sunday night, having exact same problem. keyboard doesnt work, and my front buttons dont work exept for the the center button which ends up opening the start menu (wrong command). Im over my 1 year warrenty and not sure what to do. Had to buy a cheap 40 dollar nokia for the time being, please help if someone can. Oh and I did a hard reset, and it didnt fix anything. Booted android with it and 1 out of 5 times the buttons came back, this is really weird/vexing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shafty:
Exactly the same thing has happened to me!! Coming on randomly, draining the battery really quickly and the same keys doing the same things as yours i.e. nothing or Start menu. The backspace and space don't work on the on-screen keyboard either. Is it the end of the road or has anyone the slightest idea what the hell to do!?!?!?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smd11873:
Same issue but slightly different

2 days ago I started hearing a noise from my phone that was not something I normally hear. After checking my phone I found out it was the voice recorder program opening up on its own. It started repeatedly doing this and recording automatically. I had to hold down the close option (X) and before it would stop. AFter a reset and when the phone wakes up it always does this now. Along with all these whacky problems my hard buttons stopped working. My scroll wheel and D-pad sometimes work and only the up, down, left and right arrows work on the keyboard. Camera button seems to work sometimes also. All others have stopped responding. Except for holding the power key. I just reflashed my phone to latest phoenix ROM and problem is the same. Is this it for the phone or is there a fix.

Anyone??? Please!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wasilvers:
Try this free fix

I had the same problem as the original poster. My fix was to download AE Button Plus trial and use it to reset my keys to their original setting. I did not have to do the keyboard, just the external keys. Now my tilt works like it used to.

This fixed the problem when clear storage and reloading roms did not.

It doesn't hurt to try since the trial is free.

Good Luck,

Will

:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] artie.ale:
same here... help pls...

any one yet has found a solution for this issue??? 2days ago my Kaiser suddenly started with same problems, buttons dont work and the recorder goes on, any one yet found a way to fix it??? thanks...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dantegl36:
I have no idea if this will actually help anyone but I installed japanese input on my kaiser once and during the process a registry got edited that stopped my hardware keyboard and the hardware keys (front keys) from working and the fix was to correct the value:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010411]

edit the 0010411 value to "00000409"

again I have no idea if this will help but it wouldnt hurt to check to see if the registry somehow got changed. Goodluck and I hope you guys figure it out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] artie.ale:
didnt work...

thanks anyways "dantegl36" but it didnt work...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zasker1:

This is intresting, I just posted on this, as I am having the same issue, which of course just started a few days ago. I have the updated UI as well but I installed it as well.

Unfortunately, the problem returned it was only a temporary improvement, sorry
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abollo:
For my tytn2 after rom upgrade, the front buttons do not respond except the central one. the side buttons are responding under the win only but in the bootloader screen they don't respond. and I cannot make a hard reset.

I did a hard reset through the setting menu but still the problem has not been solved. Adding on that the keyboard doesn't work except the arrow keys.

Do anyone can figure a solution for that. except the hardware problem bec I am out of warranty.

Did anyone was able to solve the problem fully?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ThroughHymn:
oo wow, i have the same problem. hope theres a fix
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abollo:
adding to that the the bluetooth is turnino on by itself even if I switched it off and the device by itself after time of switching it off it refuse to start again unless I did a soft reset.

I tried all the avilabe suggestion but nothing worked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] samstables:
Hiya

This seems to be a problem with the TyTn II - there are several threads in this forum about it, none of which have any working solutions that I ever found...

I spent ages trying different ROMS, Radios and pressing of buttons and haven't found a solution - other than to disown the TyTn II and get another phone! I did pick it up again the other day and it is still refusing to have working buttons or keyboard (as reported by others, only the central buttons seems to work all the time as a Start Menu button).

I did manage to stop it eating battery at a ridiculous rate by turning it to specific radio settings rather than letting it find its own GPRS/ 3G and phone band. I think it was in this thread

I was considering sending my TynTn II to HTC, but I'm not sure it's going to be worth the postage and their service fees as I've already replaced it with a Touch Pro 2. Then again if we ALL sent them in, they might acknowledge some sort of problem with this model.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abollo:
can I know how did u mange to change the rom? bec even my side buttons refuse to work whenever I am at the bootloader screen and the upgrade through the active sync failed.

Hey all,

If i'm on MSN messenger and i minimise it to the quick menu and turn the screen off.. its fine for about 10 minutes but when i turn my screen back on and click the quick menu and open messenger it has automatically shut down and closed itself meaning i have to sign in again..

does anyone know how to fix this or if theres a way?

Thankyou

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thefunkygibbon:
Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to disable the popup saying that the connection cannot connect?

Its getting really annoying now, comes up over the top of TomTom and doesnt automatically disappear so have to keep clicking 'dismiss' when I'm driving and either take phone calls or just driving through an area with crap/no reception.

Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cypherstream:
Are you talking about that stupid QuickQPS prompt that never works? If so, I'd like to know also. QuickGPS seems to drain my battery as well. I have 3 seperate batteries (2 samsungs, 1 dyna pak) and I'm lucky if I can go a day on 3 batteries.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thefunkygibbon:
no, i mean the stupid pop up that comes up if for some reason that the internet connection cannot be made. ie if on phone or in bad/no signal area.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] peterfnet:
In settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications---> "Connection Disconnected"

I uncheck all of my boxes to stop problems like that. does that solve your problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] peterfnet:
oh the irony, my connection just flaked out. I got the "no connection available" message
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dieneverknowing:
I'm guessing this can't be changed (unless perhaps maybe with some registry tweak) because any option other then "Play Sound" and "Vibrated" are disabled.

Maybe it's some safety or "covering our behinds" mandated feature so the user will know if service is lost.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] peterfnet:
Perhaps, but the icon at the top has always been descriptive enough for me
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thefunkygibbon:
how annoying :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dieneverknowing:
While that is true, there are a handful of people that get their hands on this phone that are, how you say.....dense? ;)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TallPaul86:
Hi dee ho folks, not long regged on the forum and i did search on the forum, google, ebay and the likes before i posted so here goes

Does anyone know where i can source an actual HTC-branded Housing for the Universal? I've been given an O2 XDA Exec FOC from uncle and as the screen's cracked i thought i'd be as well replacing the case as i'll be unlocking it as well

Prefer that to the i-mate JasJar housing - JasJar sounds too like a Star Wars character i prefer not to mention!

Anyone ideas? All i can find is the O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone & Orange housings :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dwergsnot:
AFAIK there's no such thing as an HTC Universal, as HTC used to sell all their phones to other companies at that time. There was no real HTC brand yet. The closest to an HTC Universal would probably be an I-mate or Qtek one, as these companies used to to have the closest ties to HTC.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Bulldog:
here you can find different versions http://www.shope2.com/Product.php?cpath=1_171_178 they do have also other parts. buttt it is not cheap.. dont know whether you wanted to invest that money for a old device.

after being with co.cc for a few months for my website theyve decided to change there T&C's so that after a year i have to pay

this would be doable however, my website receives no ££$$$ from donations yet and thereofre there is no money to buy it, and also if i was to buy a domain name it would be .com

my question is can anyone recoment a free doamin name service the supports url forwarding, a google apps email inclsion (CNAME) and wont flood my site with pop ups

what are the pricing rates of vbulletin? How many members do you have on your site and how many do you predict would be there by the start of 2010? I'd be willing to assist you in financially if we could break-even by 2011 via donations or whatever.
[Off-topic] -PiLoT-:

To those who are worried that you cannot go ack to SPL 1.95 on newer ATT Fuzes, I have been looking for how to for you. What I have found is if you flash the stock Fuze ROM, then flash the stock 1.90 ROM, then reflash the stock Fuze ROM, the spl will be back to 1.95. Hope that helped.

Note: I have not tested this. I found this from others.
