I had the original tilt, got it when it first came out. I really liked the phone. I loved the tilt up screen for video viewing. Im a pocket carrier so the only complaint I had was the size. It was a bit bulky in the front pocket. This time around I got the pure and am loving it so far as well. Definitely feels better in the pocket. Love the 5mp cam. Not sure what the tilt 2 is equipped with. Have deleted many unwanted programs to free up space and helps immensely with lag as others have complained about. Was majorly disappointed that it doesnt support all flash as I was under the impression from the pre-release descriptions. So far thats my only complaint.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] teetee1986:
I used to face question as same as yours when i decided to buy a new phone to instead of my old hurricane. Between TD2 and TP, finally i choose the first one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Funky_Fred:
Hey I was planning on jumping over to a hero rom and it said that it needed the SPL 1.33.2005 and since I had 2003 I thought I should upgrade. So i downloaded the file and named it update.zip and after a reboot the phone would not turn on anymore. Charging it would leave it with the orange led at the top, and holding the power button would make it a red light flash and power + some other button would make it blue but none would start the phone.

Dilemmas

1. Placed sim card into old Motorola Rizr and phone would be on loop for start up screen

2. Phone came with a NEW sim card which I never used so I placed that in the old phone and it would say "insert sim card" So I guess i need to do something for it to work?

3. Battery was replaced by employee when I went in yesterday morning.

4. I am not an authorized user on the account (I'm the son) so I wasn't able to order a new phone to be shipped to me. I am planning on going in a couple of hours if a solution does not come up.

They said to get authorized user in and ask to get a replacement sent home but did this void my warranty? What should I do?

I downloaded the "SPL" from here. I chose the engineering one. Maybe I did the process wrong or something, I have no idea. This is what I deserve I guess.

Lastly, can I get the phone replaced directly from a store instead of having it shipped to me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
sounds like a brick to me, I'm sure you can get a warranty replacement. when you or the account owner call tmo and complain don't mention rooting or updates.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Funky_Fred:
Thanks for the quick response. Is there any way that they would know what happened to the phone when I send it in? What i'm mainly worried about are my contacts. I tried to put my contacts from my sim onto my old phone but the phone wouldn't start. I know the contacts are on the old phone though but the phone won't let me do anything with it unless there is a sim card in there and mine isn't working. Can my new sim card that came with phone work on the old Motorola RIZR? Do I need to activate the sim card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pack:
if you logged into your google acct on your phone it sync's all your contacts, calendar things like that so if you did log into a google acct when you started the phone just goto gmail.com log in and hit contacts on the left

also they can figure out what you were trying to do and thats why they tell you when you order your replacement "if your warrenty is void (which it is) they can charge you a $399 restocking fee"

remember they arnt in the business of giving out free stuff but good luck :/

but if you have INSURANCE where you pay every month you can go this route... smash your phone so no one will be able to tell what you did.. pay the $50/$100 deductible... and get a new one then you dont have to chance the $399 but its up to you
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Funky_Fred:
That is what I assumed ^^

I called them earlier thinking it would be replaced but according to my insurance, they only cover theft and physical damage and I must pay the deductible of $130 (wtf, that is higher than i thought) and for actual damage to phone (no physical or water damage) like unresponsive, won't turn on, etc. has to be done through t-mobile.

So now I know that my previous rom on there was the cyanogen something so does that void my warranty? What should I do to the phone that will not let them know what happened?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Funky_Fred:
I was trying this method but it looks like I need to start the phone to find out some info so I can make the gold card ( someone told me to try to fastboot it via the pc so I can at least get to that screen where i can install the update.zip so i can put in a rom)

This will be my plan 2... will it work fine?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
hell yea fry that facker, no doubt it will be a legit warrenty repair/replacement
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Funky_Fred:
I'm coming from another website where sarcasm runs rampant, I'm not sure if this is sarcasm... hahaha.

So should I fry it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Funky_Fred:
any recommended easy ways that you guys suggest? I don't really have a "lattern lamp" or a lantern lamp which I'm assuming it is. Without killing myself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
you could try a 9 volt battery or just tape some wires to a car battery would be better. this is totally up to you, this is so they won't see that you been "modding"

if you wanna get creative, see if you can do it through the charger port so you can say you left it charging over night and it was very hot to the touch in the morning. you went to turn on the phone and it was unresponsive. that's been known to happen with phones once in a while.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
I got it, take a usb, plug the small side in the phone, pull the large end off, shove the exposed wires in a wall outlet, watch it squirm.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Funky_Fred:
:D:p LOL that is hilarious. Won't that also fry my charger?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Funky_Fred:
Most likely I'm going to try the car battery + wire to the metal contact. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I should be getting my phone next week and I'll be returning the defective one promptly after. Hopefully I'll still have the one touch root. I heard that t-mobile has caught on to that and have revised the newer phones to not allow that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
yea It probly will fry the wire too, m I wouldn't use the htc usb but an extra cheapo standard to mini. I got like ten of them laying around the house here. lol I wouldn't be surprised if the phone melted or caught fire if you tried running 120. volts through it.

let us know how it goes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kennon:
Ok, I know, I know, the information is probably here somewhere, but there's so much to go through it's rather daunting. I'm currently reading up on properly updating the HardSPL, radio, ROM, etc on my Diamond, but even when I check out some of the different flavors of 6.5 available, I've not seen one very important bit of information for me. I use tethering as my main internet connection at my home due to an inability to have DSL or cable in my area, but I haven't seen for sure if any of the available 6.5 ROMs include the handy sharing app that I now enjoy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rom noob:
What is the tetering app?

Do you u use the internet sharing app, because this build in standard in all roms.

Sometimes some chefs leave out some apps, but they also ussualy post the apps they leave .

I'm sorry for the bad english.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dickenz:
Don't worry mate.

It's there. I cook my own WM6.5.1 ROM and it's been there the whole time.

Hi,

I'm looking for a Forum for the XDA Orbit & was told that the Polaris is the same, is that the case?

Thanks

Col
[Touch Cruise General] chris10230:
Which orbit?

The original orbit? is the artemis

or orbit 2 is the polaris

So which one is it? Very bad to flash the wrong thing so make sure!
[Touch Cruise General] meikle:
Origional Orbit
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] oddcrap:
Hi all,

I'm trying to put a new rom on the ATT tilt2 that comes out tomorrow, but whatever I do nothing seems to work. I ran the cab for hardSPL and everytime I try to update the rom the phone disconnects from USB. As soon as I get the status bar upgrade on the rom from hardspl on the phone and PC it freezes. Then it disconnects from WMC and I have to take the battery out. Am I doing something wrong? :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nagrom Nniuq:
Well, if you ran a cab for hardSPL you did something wrong and your phone isn't unlocked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alwayslearning:
you can call ATT and get an unlock code then you can HSPL, or you can go here: and buy your unlock code and it will install HSPL at the same time
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nagrom Nniuq:
Exactly, you need to do something other than run a cab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] oddcrap:
Alright, so I get the unlock code and run the installer for HSPL after the unlock?

EDIT: I already put the cab on the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nagrom Nniuq:
Dude, are you not reading? THERE IS NO CAB FOR HARDSPL! It is an application that you run from your PC that replaces your phones bootloader. Go to the thread that alwayslearning posted and buy their program, or go here and use that HSPL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] noggind614:
you do not have to have the phone unlocked to use hardSPL on it.unlocking the phone is only needed if you want to use it with another phone carrier
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] goldiemypal:
frustrationnnn...

I understand how you have to install the hard spl on the phone before flashing the rom, but I'm also having trouble installing the hard spl. I am trying to install the rhodium hard spl. it says that I should retry after syncing the device everytime I run the program on automatic flash. (meaning the program does not recognize the device?) but....when I check the windows mobile device center, it says it is connected.... stuck.

And after installing the hard spl, I should be able to flash the new rom onto the device right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GeovanniLuciano:
Having the exact same problem on Windows Vista 64 bit. I wish someone would come out and tell us a work around this one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Exactly. Calling ATT to get the unlock code is for the SIM lock. HardSPL unlocks the SPL, which restricts the phone from being able to flash any non-ATT ROMs.

Totally different things.

Hi guys, I have this ambition to change the symbols in call history with ones that are colored.

I know that for this some Manila files should be changed, but I don't know where to start the search and what exactly to look for, so any advises would be more than appreciated. thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] olap_sb:
Hi there, files you're looking for are into windows directory, unfortunatly are marked as "read only" :( and the easiest way to replace them using Resco Explorer. Althought you can find .cab file here here.

Installing this you can keep original files into backup folder end restore when needed. ;)

Bye
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] muntos:
The cab is also on XDA forum but it replace the icons on phone menu not in the history...so I assume that the file for history is another one...this file I'm looking for but don't know how to find it...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] prdic:
You have to find and change some graphic file in windows directory. I'm using dutty's R5 so can't help you better.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Those files are located in phcanOverbmp.dll
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] muntos:
Are you sure :) ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
I'm sure, but you need Unsigner.exe and ResHacker to replace/extract those files.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] muntos:
Ok, I found the dll and the resource files inside but I believe that this is for WM phone call history not the Manilla call history right...?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] muntos:
I found the files (Manila files) who is interested in replace them look for :

Has anyone tried this? Did you use the dll from a different ROM - how does the change work for you?

Ok, so I have encountered something NONE of us EVER want to encounter. My phone has died. :( It will NOT boot up on battery power and is now cycling in the tri-color screen over and over again. It does this when plugged into USB port and wall outlet. I have the HTC Euro stock ROM on the SD card in the phone, trying to get it to reflash. It gets to the screen : "loading" and "checking" ....but then boots down again and cycles all over again.

I flashed the NRG 10/11 Photon ROM. I have the first HRDSPL from Olinex. My phone is the Euro version, unlocked, unbranded. I use TMobile in the US. .

Please, there has GOT to be someone out there that can help me. You guys are really sharp!! Please ....I need my phone!

I cannot even do a hard reset either. I push the power, send and end button all at the same time. I get no response.

What are my options here? Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] pnxsinned:
1: So if when you pull out your battery it goes off. And on reinsert, when you try to turn on or hardreset ie: hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.

"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."

At that point you release the buttons and press Volume up to perform.

It doesnt do anything?

2: As soon you do the AC adapter in or USB power, it starts cycling on his own? If not, try to hardreset then.

3: If you wait like 30 minutes, with cycling on USB on PC, can it hardreset out hisself? Ive readed another guy who had issues and somehow it fixed itself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] henh:
sorry to hear that, have you tried taking the battery out for few minutes & re-insert it in then connect your phone to PC to see if it let you re-flash again?

good luck m8
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Loco5150:
People are reporting the same thing after doing slide to reboot with NRG's 10/11 Photon ROM... Go check that topic, you are not alone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] pnxsinned:
He is one of those who reported that ;) Really hope somebody van explain what can go wrong after a softreset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
I waited all night long for it to do that. No luck. :(

Now I get to the point where I see where it recognizes my .nbh file and has a splash screen. BUT......it will not go any further past that now. I press the power button to continue, but it just cycles again and the whole process starts over. I see a reallllllllllllly quick sliver of the update bar, but it disappears fast b/c of the recycling process.

Please dont give up on me. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
um, yeah, that would be me in that disasterous situation. :( :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Reepurr:
I saw in another thread that you have tried removing your SIM card with no success. Have you tried without the SD card as well?

Also, does pressing the hardware reset button under the battery cover do anything?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
I do not have the SIM card in there. I never have flashed with a SIM card in there. Always read to take that out when you do that.

The SD has to be in there b/c it is the only thing that has a shot of getting the ROM to the phone. Active Sync wont connect b/c phone keeps powering on/off with its cycling issue. So the SD card must be present with the .nbh file on it. I am just in hopes that it will read it somehow. I am sooooo tired of pressing the power button for it to continue, only to have it turn right back off.

ps, reset button does nothing either. :(

ugh.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Loco5150:
Aaah sorry, didnt remeber who was talking about it... There were few cases like that if I remeber correctly...

Ive been here since TyTN, does it make 4yrs or something? I have never heard anything like this.. Because the phone goes to the 3 color screen mode, Im pretty sure someone with skills will come up with a solution, but it might take time though...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
So the 3 color screen mode. Exactly what is its purpose and why does it keep cycling over and over and over?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Loco5150:
Its the bootloader, you should PM Olinex...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Reepurr:
Certainly, but I was curious to find out if taking the SD card out had any effect on the cycling or your ability to hard reset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
I wish....:( It just cycles...over and over and over. No matter if the SD card is there, thrown across the room, or crushed in my hand. lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Loco5150:
I always flash with SIM and memory card (as I use UC almost everytime) and never had any problems with any device.

PM the board guru's about this and you will learn more in a single message than you will from this topic in a week.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Loco5150:
Last post maybe came out little harsh. I only meant that your problem sounds so serious, that you should contact the gurus before you do something that could even make the matter worse...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
Hey, it's ok. I didnt take it as harsh. I have contacted cmonex. I am in hopes she can help me out. I need to put an APB out on ALL GURUS!!

Actually, that is why I posted here. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MadBeef:
I've noticed during the flashing process it doesn't take power from USB. What is the status of the battery? It occured to me that it might be power cycling because it's going to a part of the process that only takes power from battery and there isn't enough to do what it wants to do. (+50% ?)

Just a thought ... good luck dude I hope you get it sorted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
Yes, I thought of that as well. But I had it plugged in all night...but I have no idea if it charged b/c I cant see the screen that gives the battery's status. ?? So, I dont know how to get around this part of it. I KNOW for a fact that my battery was low when the phone died. I dont know how to get it charged back up to do this type of diagnostic test.....??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MadBeef:
Maybe it's not getting a proper charge if all it's doing is looping ... I figured you wouldn't be able to get battery status after I posted haha :) ... But it is interesting you said the battery was low when this all happened.

Do you know anyone near you that can lend you a fully charged battery? Does it boot up immediately if you take SD card out, put battery back in and plug in USB power? If you can't get it to where the phone is off and charging with orange light then a spare battery could be worth a try.

Don't worry dude I'm sure cmonex or olipro will have far more useful advice but no harm trying in the meantime :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
I can try to find a battery around town. No one I know has this kind of phone. I am the only high techie person amongst my friends. lol.

When you get a new battery, does it come charged? B/c if it doesn't, I am in the same boat. &#%^%@
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] intothevoid:
Have you tried by either removing or not having the .NBH file on your sdcard and connecting your phone to the computer and then when it enters bootloader when u hold down the vol dwn button and press reset it should stay there and say USB. if it does then you can try flashing the official version of the EU rom and hopefully it should work.

I apologize if you have already tried this and it didn't work. Make sure u don't have a NHB file on the root of your sdcard when you do this as it will most likely try to execute that instead.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
I figured the only way to try to get the ROM on there was to do it via SD. But I just can't get the phone to stay on. It shuts off.

Thank you for your help. Please , everyone...keep thinking!! I appreciate it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MadBeef:
I was hoping you weren't going to say that but not many people have TP2 ... :( Maybe a friendly phone shop can help if nothing else works. Maybe one of the employees will have a TP2 so you're not asking to unbox a new one.

Yeah they always come with *some* charge but never 100%, I don't know more than that sorry.

Is there no way to charge properly with your phone? I'm assuming when plugged into USB power the orange charging light is flashing on and off as the cycle restarts, or not coming on at all ... Did you try removing the SD card? Or remove SD and battery, plug battery back in, then plug in USB power (from wall adapter) without pressing any buttons etc

Maybe it's just the volume down key is stuck? haha :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
Right, that orange light goes on and off the whole time. It never stays on for a good duration. I tried removing the SD card...removed battery and SD , plugged battery back in, then into wall, etc...same old stuff happens. As soon as I put battery in, the tricolor screen appears INSTANTLY. ugh.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAD_Matt:
Do you happen to have another SD card laying around that you could try? Or re-download the nbh, it might be corrupt. Where at in the US are you??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
I am in SC. And the SD was brand new, but I could try a new download. SUre thing, thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] intothevoid:
Well you can charge the battery by using a standalone battery charger/cradle. Not sure where you will find one asap. Like this one e.g. http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-pro2-cradlebattery-charger-p-6141.html

Not telling you to order from here just saw it as a result on google.com so you can understand what i mean.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAD_Matt:
I'm in OK so I cant help you locally :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] i<3myphone:
Great to know. Thanks so much!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MadBeef:
We need to get it charged somehow ... I wonder if there is a way to interrupt this cycle so a full charge can be achieved. I think I remember from a previous post that you can't get into hard reset screen either :(

To be honest I thought removing SD card and plugging into wall socket charger would have done it ... nothing to flash, right? :(

I'm running out of ideas that don't involve another TP2 or another battery. And that's even assuming this is a battery problem in the first place :(

Did you get a reply from cmonex or olipro? If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire ... THE OLINEX TEAM (cue A-Team music) haha
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] crazythunder:
so, it won't even trickle charge from the pc usb port with the phone off? normally it should. mine does at least. hope you get this fixed. and if you do, please post the repair process.
