Hi,
I want to do a complete upgrade on my T-Mobile MDA (US) to WM6. I want to be able to keep all of the T-Mobile features (Email, HotSpot, GPRS/EDGE, etc) and have all of the new WM6 features. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
you want to have your cake and eat it too.
Reading is fundamental. But the Search button is your friend. All the info you need is located in this forum. Don't expect handouts if your not willing to work.
I understand what he's getting at so don't flame, as some of these programs are actually built into the ROM, and may not be WM6 compatible. They also have at least one program and several icons placed by the extended ROM, so if you have a G4, you may be SOL if you use the IM program. Heck I'm going to be working on the same thing over the next three weeks, since I am a t-mobile customer back in the states. I've already managed to get two of the t-mob WWE AKU 3.3 OEM working (damn that's a lot of adjectives). I'll try to keep you up on my progress, but this is going to be slow going for the meantime.

Save off your EXT Rom. You can reinstall these apps after your flash (provided all work in WM6)
As for your GPRS/EDGE and MMS you can use the cabs from your EXT Rom or you can enter the settings manually from the T-Mobile website.
Details on how to do these things are all over this forum. You need to read. Most likely you do not NEED WM6 you just WANT it. You need to determine if your want justifies the cost of replacing your device if you don't research properly before jumping in with both feet and mess it up. Do you know if your device is a G3 or G4 yet? If not read, read, read. There is no need for people to give you step by step instructions in your thread as there are already step by step instructions in the STICKY threads (you have read these, right?).
i have a program that allows u to mount the extended rom, then u can access the ext rom from file explorer and copy it to the mini sd. its attached as htweakc. also, i attached the t-mobile ozim instant messaging program. good luck

Thank you!
I appreciate everyone's feedback.
nstefanelli, thank you for attaching those files for me. I'm going to try them out this weekend.
I'll let everyone know how it goes.
T-Mobile Hotspot App
Hi,
On a related matter, does anyone have the T-Mobile Hotspot app handy? Do I need to install it into my non-TMobile Hermes if I want to subscrible to TMobile and use their Hotspots?
Kind regards,
Neil
no app is needed. i am on wm6 and NEVER installed the app. i was at SFO a couple months ago (i have had WM6 since early feb) and i used the WIFI just fine!

Hi all:
I installed the official unbranded WM6 ROM on my AT&T branded phone. Well the install worked great, but after install I am having some problems.
When I type the letters seem to stick, not physically of course, but there is a delay in the next letter being entered, and it makes a slight crackling sound, different than the normal key sound.
Is it possible for me to revert back to WM5? I have searched several forums (including this one of course), and the concensus seems to be that yes I can revert back, but I have been unable to find the AT&T WM5 ROM anywhere (I found the Cingular one, but can't find the AT&T ROM). Does anyone happen to know where I can find it?
Will the fact that I installed the unbranded ROM interfere when I want to install the official AT&T WM6 ROM?
Please help
Thanks!
Hi:
Is anyone able to help me?
I would REALLY appreciate it!
Thanks so much

You don't have Windows Mobile 6.1 on your Tilt. The tilt comes stock with Windows Mobile 6.
First I would advise you before anything to read the first thread, specifically the one dealing with HardSPL. Before you flash to Dutty's ROM make sure that you have HardSPL flashed. After that you can flash to whatever ROM you want.
If you do decide to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 you will need to flash to a new radio. There is also a sticky for this with download links and location. Your best friend at this time would be the Kaiser Wiki, which is also located in the first thread. I would highly advise that you take an hour and read up on how to do everything that your asking and familiarize yourself with the techniques of flashing / upgrading.
...and to answer your last question, no updating your radio would not effect your service with AT&T the evil empire
How would I upgrade to WM 6.1
Also I just finished with flashing HardSPL

if you indeed have hardspl now, then pick a 6.1 rom and 6.1 radio and have fun configuring.

If you would like to try dutty's just download the ROM from the listed locations in the 1st thread. There are a couple to choose from. I would also highly advise you to read through the second post. This gives you a lot of information about configuration, best results, before and after flashing. Also gives you some detail on how to configure your device. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Here is a link for Dutty's WM6.1 official ROM. http://www.4shared.com/file/3801940...ial_WM611_Release.html?dirPwdVerified=1f45688
Hard SPL Issues
I've been reading all of these threads for the past month(over 30 hours). I downloaded the HTC Kaiser, and the HTC home plug in, but after downloading the new 6.1 I can no longer get access to the internet which is imperative. I've downloaded the HardSPL and I deleted everything else, and once again I can't get to the internet. What am I doing wrong? Please help, I'm about to go on travel and I really need the internet. If I will be forced to use this basic brick without all the luxuries, I guess I will have to, but I don't want to.

Which ROM do you currently have installed? Have you tried any of the configuration cabs. Which mobile service provider do you have?
I have the new 6.1 rom, I downloaded duttys new 6.1 release and it still did not work. I've had tons of cabs, Schen, schaps, etc... & I have at&t
After the new 6.1 nothing will work anymore, I can't even get WiFi, I even went to the extreme of returning the phone to AT&T today because I swur it was the device and not the software
I think I'm about to go nuts, I've read the ALL Wiki, I've read Modaco, I've read the 1st sticky post, I've read the HTC support forums, but I can't get this thing to work properly.
bump, sorry but I need the internet, and it's urgent! Someone please help

Does any of your sound work? Does your camera work. The only reason I ask this is that you might have a radio problem.
If you do have sound...then try to install this cab.
http://shogunmark.com/Documents/shogun_cing.cab
yes the sound works, I just can't connect to the internet. I was able to listen to my music with and without the headphones today. Please help with the internet issue, that's all I need right now, I can worry about the sound later...
Go to start ->settings->connections->advanced->select networks
Make sure the programs are supposed to connect through media net. Once you've selected media net, hit edit, then click the proxy settings tab. Uncheck uses proxy server.
That should fix it, if there isn't even a media net option, you need a cab to fix it.
I've done all this, I've actually sat on the phone with tech support for 2 hours today resetting the internet connections, and it still did not work, hence me returning the phone for a replacement today.
Trust me you guys, I've done all the basic fixes...
What version of radio do you have? There might be a better way to check it, but the easy way is to reboot the phone, it's the number next to the R
I've done a SR and a HR. The HR is the only thing that brings me back to getting access to the internet, which is the only thing that works, however it removed all of my add-ons

the radio version I have is 1.27.14.09
A hard reset lets you access the internet?
(Also, settings->device information give you the rom info, too)

that tells me that one of the cabs you installed had some ill effect on your settings. try the internet after each cab you install and that way you can find the culprit causing you problems.

Hello guys how are you, I'm currently living in vzla, my service provider is DIGITEL TIM, I bought an unlocked at&t tilt and upgraded it to WM6.1, since I bought it everything in it works just fine EXCEPT for the internet connections, it just remains with this message: LOADING... for like 3 minutes and then prompts the message: PAGE CANNOT BE FOUND, PROBLEMS WITH DNS, CHECK INTERNET SETTINGS, ETC. I've disabled the cingular proxy through PHM RegEdit and trough .cab files, then soft-resetting and it solves the problem only for a couple moments and then it just does the same thing. it happens mostly when entering in hotmail or yahoo or any other e-mail account.
If anybody have some sort of magical fix to it, please I'd greatly appreciate it.
My rom is a stock at&t WM6.1 rom, I dont know if changing it to a new rom that has nothing to do with at&t (cingular, Media.net and all that crap) could fix it, If so, can anyone post a link to any ROM proven to work good on tilt´s?
please post links, comments OR ATTECHMENTS on: STOCK HTC ROM, STOCK KAISER ROM, or any other roms that are good for the tilt but still have nothing to do with at&t. A CELL PHONE WITH NO CONNECTIVITY ITS JUST GARBAGE... PLEASE HELP!
I´VE SEARCHED THE FORUMS BUT I HAVE ONLY SEEN OLD ROMS WITH A LOT OF BUGS! PLEASE POST

You're gonna have to get your service providers data configuration information and change it. The stock AT&T roms will come with the AT&T settings. As for links to stock roms, try searching the site or looking in the kasier wiki...people here won't help you until you've tried to help yourself. That's the rules here: READ, SEARCH, then post in a PREEXISTING thread, like the one you downloaded the rom from. Do NOT create new threads to ask questions like this when you obviously haven't searched for the answer.
Hey man, thank you very much but the data configuration its ok, I've done it several times, and it even connects for a while, when it come to my roms questions, It wasnt my intention to post something that has already been asked, I just wanted to see if a new rom would help with my GPRS, thats all, sorry bro, wont happen again, but thanx for your help though
Hey well when i got this phone from HTC, it came with the at&t bloatware on it. I originaly flashed the htc firmware without a radio. Worked fine other then they keyboard drivers were weird since AT&T thought it would be a great idea to change up the keyboard.
So (Unless someone did this already and i didnt see it in the wiki) im cooking up the HTC Firmware with AT&T radio and drivers. anyone know where the keyboard drivers are? i have both ROMs extracted ready to go.
There are no keyboard drivers. It's just a change in the Registry
It's the same change as for the kaiser -> Tilt.
I've attached the cab and it should get the job done. I forgot the registry edit though, you can find it in the very long at&t fuze thread in Raphael general.

so you need the cab along with the registry change?
does it change all the links on the keyboard or just where the numbers and symbols are?

No. It's an either/or thing. Either you get the cab and install it, or you change it in the registery.
It changes everything from keyboard to numbers and symbols to where the special keys (sms, email, etc.) are.
Hey Kraize thanks for this, will have to check the wiki later to see if there is mention of this as it will be a common question in the next week or so.

Don't thank me. Thank TarusBulba. It's his cab, I just renamed it and re-upped it.
cool thanks. New problem though:
I have the HTC box firmware(as explained above) Os only, so i didnt get the radio package. After installing it, to make sure i was up-to-date i went onto the wiki and downloaded the latest radio firmware for AT&T. It seems as if every time i put a SIM in i cant get edge or 3G signal. My house is typically both depending on where your standing and such. Any ideas?
Cool wiki updated

Okay. I think I understand your question, but could you explain exactly what the problem is? I mean do you want a constant signal on 3G or something? I don't understand exactly.
New to the WinMo world and here! I have had my Sprint TP2 now for about a month and I love it, even with WinMo 6.1.
I am eagerly awaiting the unlocker due out today and I wanted to know that steps that I need to take to back up my phone / sprint roms prior to doing this. Specifically, I want to make sure that I still have Sprint NFL when I upgrade to 6.5.
Can someone please point me to the correct thread if there is one?
Thanks,
Tray
get pimbackup its all you need. you can search for cab files to install sprint apps such as the nfl application.
how do you know the unlockr will be out today?

quick backup for me is to backup the pim.vol file in the root directory. it has my contacts. good luck
Backup
I use dashwire for most things. It's free and it works. You'll need something else for calendar and apps I think. I miss the old windows mobile app that would back the whole thing up to an SD card.

Unless I am reading it wrong (which could be the case), I learned of the release on MightyRom.com. http://www.lilrico.com/Mighty/mightyromblog/?p=524
I'm skeptical that it will be released today....
