This is probably a stupid question, and I think I already know the answer, but I'm going to ask anyway. I have a G3 Cingular 8125 (Wizard). If I upgrade to a WM6 rom, what will happen if I do a hard reset? Will I revert back to my original rom, or will it reset with the upgraded rom? Also, is there anywhere to download the original Cingular rom in case I ever need it (for customer service or something)? Thanks!
it will reset to ur upgraded rom/
you can download the original cingular ROM at
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8125/software-downloads.html
So if I upgrade to WM6 and don't like it/whatever, I can go back to origional with that ROM?
yes, you can.
So which ROM is the most stable, straight up WM6 rom? It doesn't have to have a bunch of extra stuff. If I want the extras, I'll install them.

Hi,
I want to upgrade the ROM of my HTC Tytn II to the version NoThrills WM61 NLD V3. I was wondering what happens to the software, which is currently installed on my device, by the phone provider (KPN Netherlands), like EasyMenu, after this upgrade.
I'm not saying that this software is that important to me, but I just want some more information about this.
Thanks for your answers,
Dennieku
everything will get erased as u will need to do a hard reset...u can back stuff up and do various backups to things u want but u will need to search for that
The phone will be wiped clean and the ROM you upgrade to will be the only thing on it. You can use UC to add stuff you want to the new ROM on first boot (provided that the new ROM supports it).

OK, thanks for your answers !!!!
yeah, technically it gets wiped clean, but mine still has some orange software that got installed the first time it started up after i flashed it.
I'm having trouble with my Tilt (it recently started being randomly unresponsive to commands (15-20 second lag some times). Is there going to be a new AT&T 6.1 official ROM with updated drivers? My device has the 8-25-07 ROM date, and before I decide what to do I'm checking on the status of official AT&T releases.
No, as far as I know, there isn't an official one yet. However, a lot of the cooked ROMs on this site will probably fix your problem.
If you can't wait for the official ATT WM6.1 release then you could try their latest WM6.0 release http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=67&act=sd or as mentioned, could try a cooked ROM.
upgrade ur hardspl and the lags/freezes will be gone.

Looks like he is still using an old Stock ATT Tilt ROM (WM 6.0), so that is not likely the issue.
@ gmfeld. If you have had your Tilt for a quote some time, it is possible that you simply have some junk, or orphaned registry settings, or something slowing your system down.
I would recommend either upgrading your ROM to the latest Stock ATT Tilt ROM (as posted above), or simply doing a Hard Reset to get your current ROM back to its original state. Of course, do a BACKUP before you do anything that involves Hard Reset or Flashing!!!1
I just got my tilt and I think I have a newer official version.
It is
ROM 1.62.502.0
Date 01/17/08
Radio 1.27.14.09
I've noticed it has a bluetooth headset issue (not sure if it is exclusive to mine) where it will end the call, but won't hang up in the phone program.
gmfeld & vanisher,
I would suggest you at least run PPCPimBackup then a hard reset. If you have a little time this weekend you should read through G.W.E.N.I. then flash a nice cooked ROM. Play with your device and post educated questions in the proper threads. You WILL appreciate your device more than you ever did...guaranteed.

The above is a noob success story. I would recommend you go the same ROM route as he did as for starters.
There is no official AT&T WM6.1 ROM yet, but we're getting there.
Check the shipped ROMs section on the wiki to see how new / old your ROM is.

Thanks to all for all the suggestions. I've been running SKTools, so I'm pretty sure I've gotten rid of all the junk and orphaned registry settings, etc.
I agree with all that I need to flash a new ROM, or reflash my original ROM, that's the only thing left to do to clean up my Tilt. Just trying to get some info on when or if a new official AT&T 6.1 ROM is to be released, so I don't go through that process twice. If I knew that its a ways off, I will probably then go with one of the cooked ROMS now.
just curious how many about to own fuzers out there will stick with the stock att rom or are planning on switching to another?
what possible negatives are there if any?

you should automatically know the answer to this... quite surprised that you actually asked this but OFCOURSE not staying with stock rom ... load's of bloatware and crappy rom ... NO THANK YOU. I'll just flash romeos or natf's when he comes out with his...
flashing a rom that is not your carriers cancels your warranty so you can't get the phone replaced until you have turned it back into stock.
hha stupid question i suppose but i do laugh since your tilt has a stock rom
what about programs like sprite backup and the jetcet print and such that come on the fuze are those available as free cabs or on the romeos?

trying to return for warranty
I have a fuze with a flashed rom, and 1 drawback is the keyboard layout is different then the touchpro and there is still no cab file to fix it.
yes there is its called htc fuze keyboard fix
i dont know how to upload files here?
Flash Flash Flash
So what actual roms are compatible with the fuze? I got my fuze 2 days before official launch and I'm dying to flash it but I have no clue if the touch pro's custom roms are compatible with the fuze without screwing some stuff up.
Can I actually put TP roms on the fuze without screwing it up?

yes you can
just install the keyboard fix after and you are fine
but i do have a question. i have yet to be in a 3g area yet with my fuze since i flashed the rom
3g should work fine with romeos right?

So this would be one of the things that become unstable/broken???
i was just asking i have no idea
Has anyone recontructed the stock from the newly released Fuze yet? My Fuze has ROM vers. 1.95.502.5 WWE. I just wanna know if I'll be able to put the orig rom back on the phone if I have to before I flash it.

Almost flashed... and noticed that the ATT build might be newer.
FWIW ATT did a nice job with the default settings (i.e. sounds/notifications), but would like to have the optimized memory pool from a cooked rom.
stock rom lasted 24 hours here before being destroyed....
Romeos2 is what I ended up with... at&t stock rom seems to ignore/bypass registry settings on some stuff (startup/shutdown animation, HSDPA support, etc.)
Glad I made the switch.
What I ended up doing is flashing an HTC ROM and then just the radio from AT&T, in oder to maintain 3G capability. Of course, the Hard SPL flash comes first.
I flashed my Fuze right away.
I had to exchange it because of an annoying slider wobble issue. I didn't bother flashing it back.
The guy at the AT&T store didn't even notice.
BTW... My second FUZE had a much better/tighter slider. No wobble at the top in the closed position.
When I get mine next week, I will run it for a day or 2 just to make sure that all is well, and then it is the Elite Team rom for me......
Later............
I will flash mine but just wanna make sure I start with a working device.
Do I need to unlock the Fuze to flash ROM?
Will Kaiser SuperCID and Security Unlocker v0.1 work with the Fuze?

you just need the raphael hard spl
sry for my last thread but i decided to give Energy ROM 6.5 a shot at it but what im concerned is if i wanna go back to the Stock at&t ROM 6.1 will any mess up?? i already have HardSPL it can anyone help me out? thnx
no, there is no danger in flashing between roms specially after you've got hardSPL. Just recommended that once a new rom is done flashing and you get to the alignment screen, do a hard reset.
plan to upgrade to WM 6.5 but worry about campatiablity issue.
want to back up the rom and just in case I can roll back to original ROM.
any advise from your guys?
When you do the upgrade, the cooker have already ported all the drivers, then all will work.
But remember to do a hard reset after the upgrade
