Hello folks first off, I have searched for this and can't find an answer that applies to this problems, but...I have been cruising around as a visitor for the better part of two weeks now, and I have since received my brand new AT&T Tilt. I want to load a new ROM and no matter how hard I try, and how many different approaches OR computers I use, I cannot do it. With ANY of them.
What happens, the Tilt connects to the computer, I initialize the program and it proceeds accordingly. When the screen goes to the quad color, red green blue and white with "USB" printed in the middle, it disconnects from the computer and goes to the progress bar. I wait a minute and change and it stops, saying there was a communication error.
I have tried everything I know how to do and I can't find the answer, here or on the internet. I may also have read the answer, but to the layperson (me) I can't understand what it is. I am pretty new to this stuff as well....
Any help? I apologize if this violates the forum code, as I've seen that, Im just very frustrated at this. Thanks!

Just a bit of advice:
If honestly after couple of weeks that you have cruised around this forum and still couldn't get the concept that you need to unlock your phone before you can change its ROM, it's better you leave your phone alone. Its an expensive and complicated peiec of sh.... Once you open the can of worm you soon will become a "flash-a-holics" as many of the forum members become. For one thing, once you unlock your phone, you will find so many choices of ROM that so many great chefs have prepared. Next, you will wonder what are the differences and which one is "better", then you will have more questions to your answer and sure will find you have so many waking hours have slipped by you and soon you will realize what that new phone has done to you ......

I've been resisting the Siren's song on my Tilt, but its becomming very powerful and I'm about to give in (probably this weekend). As you stated, I already know what this means...
Life without the XDA forums would be boring.. I mean what else would be spend our free time on? TV? Sex? lol
Hi there.
I know there's probably nothing irritates you guys more than a n00b asking for assistance in doing something techie, but have pity...
I'm not a total tech divvy, I have no problem with pooters, but I've never had the reason to dissect code, or get up with the workings of the PDA or mobile phone, so I'm really clueless, here.
I have some general wonderments...
as well as requests for advice and assistance.
I have an O2 XDA Exec which I love, and haven't got the money to upgrade at present, and so, would like to milk as much performance out of it as possible.
I work in a business where contacts, bookings and diary dates are essential, as is communication via SMS and telephone (and one day, if it becomes cheap enough, push email would be nice). This device is running 24/7, keeping me informed, running my business, and its wonderful, such a problem when it 'goes down.' It has been running nearly flawlessly for almost 18 months, and much as I'd love to upgrade to a TyTn 2 when my contract expires, I also want to leave options open for a 3G and application-friendly iPhone, or indeed something better from HTC.
I have a few niggles to address.
First, the alarms, of which there are many required, are completely fubar unless I have AlarmToday installed. Fair enough. I understand that this is a 'Windows Mobile' issue, and I can live with using a small app to fix the problem. Are there any better solutions. I also have two 'tweaks' type apps installed, which claim to fix the issues that cause non-sounding alarms on WM PDA phones.
Second, I need a good one-glance Today screen, professional looking, and a comprehensive listing of diary dates and (possibly) text messages etc. But all the ones I seem to use appear to slow my XDA to a crawl.
Third, I need to use a good PIM, and chose Pocket Informant 2007, which is a great app, but now I'm struggling because my XDA seems to be grinding to a halt.
I noticed that when the battery hits about 57% it starts to crap out, freeze up, stop running apps etc. I replaced the battery with a brand new one, and it still does it. Also, the system is sometimes so slow, or the phone rings and the side buttons (pickup and hang up) don't do a damn thing...
A friend recommended that many bugs and issues of speed were resolved in WM6, so, of course, I'm looking for a good WM6 build to replace my standard (latest) ROM and OS from O2 on the XDA exec... essentially I only need the base featureset that came as standard, as long as my apps will still work. I have standard memory in the exec and 512 meg SD card.
Can someone please be bold and recommend the virtues of two or three WM6 builds for utmost reliability and functionality bearing in mind what I've said about the use and needs of the phone, and perhaps lead me to the right place, and the right procedures. I'm thinking that if a PDA phone is anything like a pooter, it might need a backup to hard disk, then a good clear out and a reinstall to try to break the backlog of clogging or something, and any tips on doing this/better apps/faster today screens would be really, really appreciated... I need input on this, because the last thing I can afford to do is brick the XDA or kick its usefulness into touch for significant periods.
I appreciate someone's help!
Many thanks,
Steve

Hi, and thanks for that, but I had seen that page before, and though I'm sure it sounds completely n00b to you, all I see are some names, which mean nothing to me, and some numbers, which mean nothing to me, and some hints toward notes explaining what I do with pieces of software that I don't know anything about and don't understand.
I appreciate that you guys are techie enough to write this stuff, but surely the purpose of you writing it is to provide it as a solution for people who aren't techie enough to write it, otherwise Microsoft win out over independent developers by making a product that is user friendly and self explanatory, rather than impossibly intricate and mysterious...
Still holding out for a more explanatory response, if someone would be so kind.

Just download one of the roms, put your device into bootloader mode (backlight button + Power button + soft reset), and run the upgrade exe file from your comp. Simple!
Thats all you need to know for flashing your uni. When you're in bootloader mode, check the version number in the bottom. If its 1.xx you have a G3 based uni, else its a G4 uni (ver 2.xx). Some roms are compatible only with G3 based devices....so check what you're about to flash.
I'd recommend Ranju's latest rom (v6) as it is really stable and has all the right applications and configuration in it.
All the best to ya!

OK, thanks. Will give that a try.
Welcome... The Fuze is here and below are some of my initial feelings regarding the phone. Hopefully you guys can answer some question and provide feedback as well.
Got it... Had to argue with employees to find a store that would sell it to me.
Funny damn thing is this. They coud have inventoried them and then gave them to us but rather they, some of the ATT employee's, were being lazy so I just had to find a store that would sell it to me.
First impressions... Software complaints... Yes I want it all.
FIXED here on XDA = THANK YOU!!! First off, where is the DAMN clock that is animated. Damn you ATT wtf would you get rid of this for. You are asking for mods when you do Shiz like that. Anyone know how to get this back and in general the black theme overall?
To that point, First 1B... Why can't we change the there period and if so how?
Second, Youtube, Where are you??? I can go to the site but the youtube application sure the hell doesn't work cause I can't even find it.
Third, The messaging feature is way cooller than the proprietary WM6.1 junk but what sux is that A. id doesn't collect all the messages for you from one person... and B. when you reply it just goes back to the native WM6.1 isn't there a way someone could get this to be the actuall text program???
Forth, Where the hell is the external camera button. I will first thing change the PTT to the camera button but what the heck would you get rid of this for?
Fifth, where is the damn program that cuts songs mid stream and allows you to have them as a ring tone???
Try reading the threads here and searching. I bought mine yesterday and have found almost everything you mention!

Thanks... would it be possible for the texting through the touch3d interface... And lastly, could someone write something that would enable windows live to be underneath the new youtube icon?
I like threaded text and wish the interface did it as well. I just hate the format in which WM 6.1 does it in... Does that make sense?

Since this is obviously a redundant thread created by someone who didn't spend much time looking, i think you should be careful with the words that you choose. The was correct in saying that most of what you requested is easy to find if you look for it. If you have a questions related to FM radio, you might try posting it in the threads already talking about the FM radio feature. Also, maybe posting ideas about development of TF3D in any of the existing TF3D threads. I bet the guys who are best suited to integrate the features you're looking for will see it there.

Most stuff that runs on the diamond will run on the touch pro, and almost everything that runs on a touch pro will run on a Fuze. Really the difference will only be something that needs the front camera to run i would think. You should feel plenty confident that you'll be able to hack your Fuze to your heart's content.

The main exception that I've found is themes. A lot of the Diamond themes won't work right on the Fuze in landscape mode (with the keyboard slid out). Some will work but it seems kind of hit-and-miss.

yeah it's the same with the polaris, nike, and kaiser. The devices that don't support landscape obviously aren't gonna work very well in landscape. But a lot of the times the issues with software is being at the right resolution. Themes...well that's definitely a different story.

I agree with this post. Everything here should have been provided WITHOUT having to 'hack' the phone. Much of these things I was expecting as well that also convinced me to buy this phone.
Yeah, yeah...give it some time, they'll be hacks galore for the Fuze specific, since the Diamond things aren't completely 'compatable' with the Fuze.
I think ATT did much too much as far as stripping down this phone.
And they have the nerve to keep the HTC name...[HTC Fuze] Ha!
What part of HTC is still left on it??

This is a good one-stop shop for these links. Might it be useful (to avoid redundancy) for the Mods to move these links into this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439781 (this is the sticky "Useful Links thread" on the Raphael discussion section).
Might be good to continue updating that thread so we don't get so many new threads like "How do I get the FM Radio to work" etc...
Ok, heres my wish for my new fuze. i wat to view flash content such as mlb.tv and some radio stations such as wfan NY, but the phone doesn't do it. if someone could let me know how to do this i would love it.
thanks

Actually, there has been some development since that thread. Take a look at this one. It is possible to map the PTT button using AE Button Plus (all except for single-press, which apparently causes the Home button to do the assigned action as well as bringing up the Home page, but the other three possibilities seem for the moment to work okay).

Hi everyone xx
I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of weeks now and slowly getting the hang of things however I have a few questions.
I have an XDA Zest and I'm just confused of all the abbreviations and jargon on here that I'm not sure what apps and mods I can use.
I've figured out I can only go for things that are VGA and compatible with WM, but other than that I just feel stupid
I am quite techie minded and do learn quickly and have managed to do little things on my phone but 3 questions off the top of my head.
Can someone recommend a free MP3/media player for my phone, WMP is pants and has no way to set the bass or anything. Putting the word music into the search here brings up loads! I tried one called flip or something like that that was Iphone-ish but that was on a trial and I wasn't that keen on it.
I love changing themes on my phone but on this handset it just seems like such a minefield. I saw a lovely HTC high gloss one (I think) and I was just baffled by it all. Is there a dummies guide somewhere?
Also, I am constantly hitting the send or menu button when writing a text, is there an easy way to move these buttons?
Many thanks xx
Media player, there's two spring to mind, S2P and TCPMP. Search and ye shall find.
Many thanks. I had a look at TCPMP earlier but the site I was on said it was discontinued and now being charged for, I think I might have found the correct one.
Afterthought/ Maybe not, it keeps saying I have to send the crash.txt to the developers. After a search on here it seems it was a common thing, I'll carry on looking.
EDIT: I've got it working, I found a different CAB file someone posted and that one works!
at least you used the search ur in minority there
lol
Unfortunately the Zest is not an HTC phone, so you will not find any support for it here. It is Windows Mobile so you can use generic WM apps. The interface I believe is Spb Mobile Shell, so you can search for tweaks for that.

Yes I did realise there wouldn't be much support but I have found so much information on here as it is and little bits and bats. I found a fab SIP on here last night which I love. I'm just not sure as to what I can and can't use, is it just basically check its VGA and WM compatible and some trial and error?

Hey all,
I have been hunting for a dialer to replace HTC's attempt. Although there are some great attempts here in the forums they didnt give me what i wanted, which was a full size calling image of the caller (480x800) and a much cleaner dialer in general.
I did how ever stumble across Iconsoft dialer for WM 5 and 6 which does give these and alot more. The short cuts are also very attractive but I am trying to figure out how to alter the rigistry to use the Iconsoft app for contacts as default, so if anyone knows please let me know.
The app isnt free but is worth every penny in my eye as makes my phone just that bit different. this can be downladed as a 15day trail also. There are some other themes for the dialer on the site.
I have been using for a few days now and havent had any trouble with it or speed problems its is pretty solid. Hope this helps some people out with finding a new dialer.
Please feel free to post any other dailers you come across, but keep it to dialers only!
