Some chefs do lite and xtralite roms aswell as their standard rom so thats what you want to be looking for. Sorry I cant help you with specific Roms as I dont own a TP2 but im sure other people can give assistance or you can just look through the Rom Development forum.

Mark.

You can turn Sense off through the settings for the Home screen. Or you can look for a "Titanium" ROM, which is the basic WM interface, which wouldn't include Sense at all - e.g. NRG does a Titanium ROM in his EnergyROM series.

All Roms that I know of have under settings the ability to Turn off/on the TF3/Sense under the Home Screen settings. Yes, you could turn it off.

I read the link to Iluminati ROM. At least in terms of looks it is not flashy, which is what I am looking for. Actually there is a post TODAY that the cheif updated his ROM to take into account the newest ATT Tilt2 ROM and RADIO updates that were announced yesterday. It is very encouraging that chief is actively working on the ROM. One observation: the same chief also cooked WCX ROM and he does not mention that and also does not mention what is different at least performance-wise from Iluminati ROM. Why does he have two different roms? Also, does Iluminati ROM have push internet running in the background? is battery 1% incremental?

TILT2 comes with TF3D. If you compare it with Sense 2.5 that is on this ROM which one is faster/more fluid?

One thing that is very encouraging is that he has a specific ROM for Tilt2. How many ROMs have you tried yourself and what were your requirements for a good ROM?

PS. THe issue of reinstalling apps every time someone flashes a ROM is what partially kept me away from flashing. Instead I was only focusing on tweaking the original stock rom with UI disabled. i have literally 3 hundreds apps and hacks...

Upgrade ROM without Radio

How do I take out the radio upgrade from a stock ROM.

eg. I have T Mobile USA device and I want to flash German Rom on it without messing up the T Mobile USA radio?

Hello and thanks for the tutorial,

Is it OK to reboot and not enter the pin code instead of removing the sim card? I am asking because removing the sim is a pain, and in addition with some ROMS (older Energy) it is sometimes an issue to power off the device until I make some app/reg changes (e.g. PsShutXP is not compatible with my TP2), so if I do not like a ROM and want to change quickly I have to remove the battery without powering off...

can't hardspl

I have read everything I can find and still no answer.

I am trying to hardspl my tmousa rhodium. I've been at flashing for over a year with my kaiser, so I am not a noob.

I activesync the phone, I download the hardspl, extract to an empty folder and when I try to run it doesn't do anything. It seems to me like the program either fails to load completely or self terminates.

Rebooted both pc and phone, made sure drivers and wmdc are up to date, and still nothing. I am running Rockersteam windows 7 64 bit (7100). Anyone else have this problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jpmartin:
Hey, im new to ROM modifying and all that but ive read all the guides and im missing an answer to one important question. I have made a backup with SPB backup and PIM for contacts and such, but when flashing and installing a new rom, will the info from the service provider and all the info they enter when you buy a new phone will still be there? My service provider (Telus) dont provide a SIM card, so if i flash and install a new rom will my line still be setup and such? Also do i need to do a hard reset Before flashing or is this not necessary? Thanks a lot!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] one9:
Thanks to mskip for the excellent tutorial.

My question is:

In Australia we have two versions of this phone T7373 (works on 3g networks 900/2100) and the T7381 (works on 3g networks 850/2100).

Is this thread and the ROM referring to the 3G 900/2100 model? I am guessing that I can't use this for the 3G 850/2100 model?

I see there is another forum "Rhodium CDMA". Does this relate to the 3G 850/2100 version? CDMA in Australia refers to the old networks where the phones did not take SIM cards so am not sure about this.

Basically I have a 3G 850/2100 version and I want to flash this from the carrier (Telstra) ROM to a ROM that is more generic as if I go into Connection Settings it says that the Telstra Internet settings cannot be modified. I want to use it on a different carrier. The phone is unlocked and can make calls, but I can't access the Internet.

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

to flash a radio do you have to change the nbh file too?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Normally the archive that you get for a radio should have everything setup already, so you don't have to mess around changing files etc.

Do you mean flashing a radio from SD card ? Because if so, I've never tried that, so I don't know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joshwah:
yes, through sd card.

Question, just got a warranty replacement Tilt2 today.

Is this just a messsed up unit that i should send back fo something? It active sync'd fine, lets me explore it, allowed me to load the endabler cab etc.

Never had this issue the first time with my original tilt 2

Looking at ROM's??

I have been reading and the only thing I have found out is there are entirely to many options for a new ROM. This is worse than shopping for a new car or TV. I mainly want something that will make my Tilt 2 run faster and at the same time make my battery last longer than 6 hours. This is only using the phone.

I only use the internet when I can have a charger plugged into it. I have not started to plug in my charger while I am eating lunch just to make the phone last all day. I would also like to get something where the battery will last long enough where I can listen to some music while I am walking around my construction jobsite.

After i used the active sync with usb to hardspl the tmobile tp2. i downloaded this rom:

[ROM][29.07.2010][WWE]Jackos Oldschool ROM WM6.1 21048 + TF3D 2.1

i followed the recommendation starting with # 1. I then ran the RomUpdateUtility. went through with on screen instruction. After the phone reboot, it stays at "Stick Together" screen. No matter what I do now, it still stays at that screen. take out the battery is the only option to turn off the phone. my computer does not recognize the phone anymore.

I think I bricked it. anyway to get it back?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
If it's an AT&T Tilt 2, then you need the HardSPL from this forum. The "World Phone" thing can confuse things, because the CDMA/GSM phones are also called "World Phones" and have their own HardSPL. But stick with the GSM HardSPL for a Tilt 2, it's a GSM phone, and this is the right forum.

It's not just about the start button position (though that's the easiest thing to spot), the 6.5.x builds (e.g. 23xxx) are more "finger-friendly" than 21xxx.

please if someone could just help me.. i already done the sim cid hardspl on several other phones but the last three i bought the specific unlocker on this site (i think that form Olipro).

ty in advance

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You will need HardSPL to flash new radios and/or custom ROMs (or even official ROMs that weren't specifically designed for your phone, e.g. HTC official ROMs as opposed to Vodafone ROMs). You don't need the Security unlocker.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] fesso:

Trying to figure out wether its Hardspl

I followed all the steps ran the Rhodium-HardSPL exe. But what I'm trying to figure out is wether my phone is suppose to turn off before the bar(on the HardSPL program) reaches 100%? The phone turns back on right after the program tells me i've successfully completed but I'm having doubts so I don't want to go flashing a rom yet. Please let me know if it actually worked, or if there is a way I can check. :o Also none of my contacts or messages has been deleted is that suppose to happen?

with phone powered off hold volume down key while turning phone on this should bring you to the tri-color screen on here you can check your spl version if it says 0.85OliNex then you have hardspl if not hardspl installation wasn't successful hope this helps :)

Hardspl by Olinex

I think Olinex is getting rich off all of us, because the program does not work even if your a paying customer then you don't even have a way to contact them, men what a scam. If anyone truly come up with a hardspl program that works for T-Mobile Touch Pro2 pm me, and don't donate to Olinex they are scamming us :confused::mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bluevmax92:
I beg to differ. I used it around a year ago when I unlocked my T-Mobile touch pro2 and it worked great. FREE! Then went to unlock my nephews 2 months after and I had to pay but was instantly allowed to unlock his phone. Then my best friend FINALLY decided to let me unlock his touch pro2 last weekend, and of course they noticed that I had done it before. So we paid and once again, instantly I was granted permission to unlock his phone and he is now running most current energy ROM with a dual booted Android Rom on the memory card so I think you might be doing something wrong. Just try again. It'll work. Patience my hacker friend; patience;)

hspl'd or not hspl'd? that is the question

during the red green blue white screen, in the red section it should say olinex somewhere if u used them for the hspl process. it doesnt do ANYTHING to your phone contacts.... its just allowing you to flash a custom rom... thats all. i DO recommend you back up your contacts and whatever else you wish to keep b4 a flash bcuz THIS PROCESS WILL wipe away your contacts along with everything else...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
This is what the wiki states as error 262:

ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.

Whether that information helps or not is another matter lol.

Can you still boot into your operating system?

Can you establish an active sync connection with your pc?

At what step do you get the error code?

What is the exact operating system on your pc? (i.e. windows 7 32bit, windows xp 64bit)

You cannot flash a rom or radio without first installing HardSPL so I would concentrate on that first and proceed only after this has been completed successfully.

Try searching for and installing "enablerapinew.cab" on your phone, then soft reset, and try it again. It might help or it might not, but it can't hurt to try.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
There are known problems with Windows7 64bit. You might need to try another pc with a 32bit OS on it if stevie's tip doesnt work.

As I mentioned before theres absolutely no point in trying to flash a Rom or Radio until you have successfully installed HardSPL as they wont flash without it.
