[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeee2:
Hi all,

Sorry if this is a report. I've had my At&t tilt for 10 months now on the original wm6.0 rom. Lately it's been slow and thought about upgrading to wm6.1 and start from scratch. I read the rom development threads but the steps involve with flashing a rom seems so complicated that I am afraid it'll just kill my phone. I don't really need any fancy rom/radio etc. Just wanted the new features on wm6.1. I went through the At&t site for the ROM upgrade and got this link.

http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94

Can I just follow this, upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1 and then restore settings from Sprite Backup?

Thanks...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
That is the latest Tilt 6.1 upgrade. Just follow the instructions and you will be all set.

If you do want a speedy full featured phone that you will love. mskip has made flashing as easy as upgrading a stock rom. Check it out

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=433835

Then check out these roms, all great

The settings you back up with Sprite back up will not be compatible with WM 6.1

I would use PIM Backup 2.8

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kareeem:
It's not recomended that you pull a backup on a new OS from an older one (even though some backup programs have this feature). Installing hardspl isn't as complicated as it seems; read the instructions above in the first link several times until you feel that you have a good grasp of what you're doing. If you're stuck at a place, feel free to PM me or post is mskip's thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeee2:
Thanks. Will the 6.1 speed up my phone? I read the first few pages of mskip's flashing rom and it just look "scary". Reading how some people flash it and the phone doesn't work anymore. I've been reluctant to upgrade because everything works now but if wm6.1 has new feature and speeds it up, I figure I can give it a shot. So PIM Backup will restore all my settings and all I have to do is install the 3rd party softwares?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kareeem:
No, PIM Backup will only backup your PIM information as mentioned by the program's name. You'll need SPB or Sprite Backup to backup the whole device (which again, is not recommended).

You won't realize a big difference from going to stock 6.0 to stock 6.1, however you will see one from stock 6.0 to custom 6.1
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeee2:
Hmmm...if it's not a big difference then maybe I should wait for wm6.5 or wm7.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
What about a hard reset?

If you were happy with it when you got it new, then just back up your important data and hard reset it. That will take it back to an as new configuration (with speed to match). I've tried the HTC official Windows Mobile 6.1 'upgrade' for the TyTN II (the HTC branded version of the Tilt) and it was so full of bugs and problems that it's now back running the original WM 6.0 version again. If you rely at all on the GPS functionality of your device, WM 6.0 will likely perform far better (at least it does with mine). Hard reset and see how much it speeds up again. If you need to know how to hard reset it, that's covered in your users manual (at least it is with the TyTN II or here on xdas wiki).

Remember the old adage, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it :eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeee2:
I agree with the "ain't broke, don't fix it", thus I still have wm6.0. Yes, I use GPS all the time. I also have a lot of 3rd party software that are all customized so I hate having to configure it again. Does hard reset wipe everything?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
All the add-ons are likely the cause of the slowdown - are they all NEEDED?

Yes it puts it back to exactly like new (except for the total call timers which aren't reset). This is all explained in the wiki (click the link in the brown bar on this website). Whatever you do, if you want all the extra apps you've loaded (probably the cause of the slowdown), you'll still have to reinstall them all anyway so have your install files/media ready.

Although you can make backups of your data, it's always preferable to have your system as lightly loaded for maximum speed so think about whether you really need and use each app before loading it on. If you rely on GPS alot and want to keep an original configuration, if the AT&T setup is anything like the HTC original setup, you're better off with WM 6.0. Test the speed after the hard reset then install each app and test for a day - one at a time, noting down the significant times you'd noticed slowness with under your current setup. This should help to weed out the culprits that hog the most resources.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Yes, it makes the phone back to " out of the box " settings. You will have to reinstall all your apps. But if you don't up to 6.1 you will be able to use sprite back up, and is it worth it to make your phone zippier ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] himalayasplaya:
Honestly man,

Flash your tilt to the 6.1 stock rom. If it has any issues call customer service and complain until they tell you to go to the warranty depot/send a replacement.

I flashed the official stock rom onto my Tilt when I got it. The battery was always WRONG. It always told me 3 bars unless it was <30%. Also I developed issues with battery life and keeping Time. After some prodding they replaced my phone. My new Tilt is soo awesome, Battery life is on 3 days now with lite-moderate use (turned off 3g), battery is accurate.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
There's a recommendation for you. Upgrade to 6.1 so that it can crap your phone out. And then you can go through all the hassle of dealing with AT$T warranty and maybe eventually you can get a new ( refurb ) phone out of it.

I'd do it :eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] himalayasplaya:
LOL little did I know I was experiencing issues from a bad flash. I thought wm 6.1 was sucky by default. Not to mention I had dinged up my phone and gotten a nasty screen scratch and one on the front of the phone. All the more incentive to use that warranty. The AT&T warranty is awesome!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Michael95GT:
Were Tilt's shipping with 6.1 before being replaced by the Fuze, or did you have to update after you bought it? A buddy just bought one and he's a total noob, when it comes to WM. I asked him if it has 6.1 and he doesn't know. I haven't got to play with the phone myself. It is supposedly about 4-5 months old.

Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
I believe AT$T released 6.1 for the Tilt in August. If he wants to check, just go to Start>settings>system>about and that will tell him which version he has.

Hello,

Have of course searched 1st but could only find old solutions for older type phones.

During flashing of a rom the power fell out but I did not notice because its daytime :) After a while me laptop give out during the flashingprocess.

the result: stuck on the tricolorscreen. it says: romload process failed.

have tried to flash again, to hard reboot but does not work.

PLEASE help me out here.... :eek:

cheers, flummie
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Start the phone pressing the down volume key and you will get to bootloader. After that you can flash again
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
probably he also needs to put the .nbh file of the rom in the sdcard so he can flash directly.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] flummie:
no, does not work because you cant connect through activesync first..

would this work: use the methode of flashing through the flashcard? If i use an other phone the put the rom on the flashcard, then put it back in blackcome and flash????
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] flummie:
Bl@ck: yep, had the same thought :) going to try. thx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pmcall:
Don't have to worry about ActiveSync - just put in bootloader mode (Power Button + Volume Down) and start BlackstoneCustomRUU.exe.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sirec:
yep should work, rename the firmware to BLACIMG.NBH otherwise it will come up with missing rom. stick in the hd and hold down and then press the power button for a fraction of a second then follow the onscreen instructions.

if you get rom not found make sure BLACIMG.NBH is exact inc caps. but its a lot faster flashing this way anyway.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sirec:
can flash from usb too from here as i done it before. just plugin til it says usb on the phone and then load the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe , wont detect teh existing rom but it will show up blank with the on about to flash underneath. a few seconds and it will start flashing. hope it works for ya, did for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] flummie:
hi guys, thx for all your help. got it to work through sdcard flash.

this did not work:

Hello to all!

I am new to this scene, did a search but could not find solid info on the issue I'm having/researching. I have an O2 Xda Orbit2 with WM6.1 (and using it in the US no problem), have gone through and set all preferences, etc to my liking, etc. I added a few AOL email accounts to the Messaging feature so it can grab emails and prior had set within the Notifications and Sounds settings that the phone NOT give me any notification (all boxes unchecked) of when new email comes in from when the phone runs its scheduled send/receive. However, the phone displays that envelope icon on the top status bar when it retrieves new email...even though that particular setting is NOT checked.

I have tried everything...playing with the notifications, setting it off then on, soft reboot and even a hard reboot (YUCK)...nothing cured it. I still get the envelope icon up top when it pulls new email, I don't want it to do that. Glitch, bug or problem with my phone? Anyone else have this or know what or why it is inherently defaulting to give an onscreen notification of new email when I set it not to??

GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY INFO!!

i am with orange UK and get unlimited internet access in evenings and weekends, then its about £3 per megabyte during the day unless i ask them to do a £1 for the whoile day access deal (have to ring each day to add to account, happy to use in evenings when free for quick things.)

How do i set this up i nspb wireless to monitor any access during the day and alert me (incase something access, or gets left on)

thank you

How about 500MB/month for £5?

I would ring and speak to Orange and try and get them to adopt you on their 500MB/month plan for £5...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheOriginalNelly:
If you’re using the latest version, under connections and tariffs you can select the internet and select network. My phone then connected to the network and downloaded the available tariffs (my tariff was so new at the time that it was not listed on the net but Spb had it listed), just select and it will set its self up.

Once your correct tariff is selected the tab above connections & tariffs lets you set the alarms for that tariff (on a monthly package anyway) hope this helps
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] t3rm3y:
gisbourne,m i dont use the net enough during the day to warrant spending another £5 on the bill. in the evenings and weekends is quite fine for me, but i would like to monitor any access during the day - emails etc.

i will try checking for updated tariffs. thanks

oh ****, I see everyday how extremely expensive Germany is!! I pay for 200MB 10€!!! Im sooo pissed off.... anyway btt, I have a question, too. I flash my blackstone about 3 times a week normally and my problem is that I lose everytime the connections in spb. can I save the results in one way, so that I can start with my newly flashed (hard reset, whatever) hd from the last point on? I search some file like .dll or .xml or whatever, I dont know.. Cause somewhere has to be my data saved, shouldn't it? And I dont think that the HTML would help me, cause I dont know where to put it after flashing.. Can someone help me?

many greets, cad^^

Hi

If I remember rightly Windows Mobile only gives you the option to turn off the sound and the message on the screen, not the notification itself.

O2 Xda Orbit2 Wheel

Thank you andrew-in-woking for the info! It certainly helped!

Just another question, that may be silly but I'll throw it out there.

I recently purchased two brand new O2 Xda Orbit 2 devices..sealed box, unlocked, etc. The navigation wheel on one seems to have that rubber ring sitting slightly higher on the control while the other seems lower...when your finger touches it you can tell. Also on the lower seated one, the navigation control ring itself has just a little bit of play or loose movement such that your finger can move it up and down very slightly on the keypad....while the other phone's navigation ring is tight and doesn't have that play....both work fine, no problems scrolling, etc. Both phones are brand new and never been used or repaired (as far as I know) so I'm wondering if there was a "slight" design change in production of these at some point and which phone is maybe the better or newer one, or if this is just an anomaly?

I know, it's a strange observation but I would appreciate anyone's input.

The serial numbers on both phones indicated the one with the lower seated ring and slightly loose wheel has the higher sequential number...if serials numbers here are any indication of when they were manufactured (?).

I contacted O2 via email on all of this and they were not very informative or helpful at all.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sino8r:

True they could scrap it but with the all other 3 big carriers getting it, I doubt they'd be that foolish...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] biscuits1978:
So where is it announced that T-Mobile US is getting the Touch Pro2? And when???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sino8r:
It was leaked not announced... look at the spreadsheet I posted. It says tmobile usa and verizon. sprint is also set to get one. and at&t. but the last two aren't on the spreadsheet but were leaked through other venues. Q3 is the release date for the USA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Poke_N_PDA:
Though I doubt it, I'm just hoping that the US carriers keep the front facing camera this time. I would love to have that for video conferencing. The phone is more than capable. Also, I slightly worried that the US carrier might gimp out on the Professional Speaker phone. Not that it's a major feature to me, but I'm looking forward to it none the less. Other than that I think we'll see it as is with maybe some varrying keyboard arrangements. Actually, I would be we will see some variance in the keyboard (Windows and OK keys please!!!!!!)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KonAitor:
Unfortunately, I doubt ATT will get it any time soon. They were a way behind on the Fuze. Plus, from what i have heard and seen, they carry the WM phones for two years each. They Fuze has been out for less than 1, so they would not sell the fuze and pro2 at the same time.

I just can't decide if i should keep my tilt until then. :(.

tmo and att can keep der branded pieces of pie. i'll take muh unlocked tp2 now pleez sur.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I don't think the Fuze and TP2 will appeal to the same people, honestly, and rumor has it ATT will get TP2 late this year. It's possible that they won't brand it as "Fuze 2", but leave the TP2 name intact (personally, I just hope they leave the keyboard intact), further distinguishing the two from each other. The fuze is already at $150 with 2yr on Amazon. By the time the TP2 comes out, I expect it will be lower. The Fuze can still make money for ATT as the more budget-minded business class device.

Users who are inclined more towards media are going to lean towards the TP2 for its larger, higher-res display. High end business users will also be wooed by the noise-cancelling conference-styled speakerphone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] poppinpengawen:
we all hope that the keyboard will be intact. but theres a good chance that it wont. at&t has a notorious rep for messing up their phones hardware. i'm just gonna get an unlocked one as soon as i can be sure that it will work with at&t's 3G bands
