I bought a tilt off of ebay and I would like to know if it has the original rom and radio from att. When I click on About from Settings/System I get the following, CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2). When I got to Device Information it says under Version ROM version: 1.57.502.2, ROM date: 08/25/07, Radio version: 1.27.12.11, Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H. Any help would be appreciated.
The reason I am asking is that I am having an issue with seeing any programs in Remove Programs. The more frusteration issues is that because of this I cant install or uninstall any of the loaded programs on it. When I got the phone there were no issues, and then all of a sudden one day vola. If this is all default, can I hard reset my phone and then try a restore from my sprite backups? I have already tried a restore with older backups and the problem is still there.

Hi:
Yes, those are the original ATT ROM and Radio.
Not sure about your other issues, sorry.
I'm sure someone with more knowledge will come along to help you

Yes if you already have a backup on you pc you should be able to hard reset. Also after you hard reset and if you don't want all the extra apps on it, you should reset the phone when its going through the customization process. pretty much after you go through the screen alignment, date, password etc. Right after this do a reset and you want have all the AT&T boat load of software. Then you can install what you want.

After a hard reset in hopes of restoring the MDA to "factory settings" I lost a couple programs.
**"Voice Dialling"
**the program that shows the Battery Life and GPRS Usage
Does anybody here know on how to contact the mfr to get the original software from them? I would really like to reinstall it and restore it to the original settings.
The phone was supplied from T-Mobile (Netherlands) and then unlocked and now operating on the US Cingular GSM/GPRS network.
Any assitance would be greatly appriciated.

There are several extended ROM downloads available at the xda-developers site. Do a search. You can run the setup files to get the programs. However, you might want to go ahead and update your ROM while you are at it.
well i have the 1.13 t-mobile firmware on it... after i flashed that one the apps were lost. but i just found out theres a slightly newer 1.13 out noiw, so ill try that one.
Thanks for pointing towards the extended stuff, i was under the impression those things were standard on every mda/xda/jam etc. ill check those out im kinda new to this stuff
I feel kinda stupid... turned out those apps are just in the appsuite on the cd :x somehow they didnt install after i updated the 'firmware'. everything's okay now
Hi,
I've successfully installed WM6 on my Cingular 8125. I installed the Crossbow version. Great stuff.
What wonder me is, some of my network stuff is still there in the menu (GetGood, ClearView PDF reader, etc) even though the apps are not there anymore. Try to dig the forum but can't find the way to remove them...
Any tip on removing those? My phone is Cingular but I'm on T-Mobile network now.
Thanks,
um.. which rom did u install there is about 10 wm6 roms now..

I agree! My psychic advisor Miss Cleo got busted so's I have no way of knowing your device info ie IPL/SPL, GSM, OS ... catch my drift?
Everytime I've seen this happen it's been that the device isn't CID unlocked... everytime.
ah... pardon NOOB!

No way to get rid of Cingular bloatware??
OK, First I would redo everything (unlocking, etc) as per DrPuttingham above. If you really successfully flashed a custom rom, its unlikely the extended rom would have the Cingular stuff still there. If you are stubborn, and just want to get rid of the Cingular stuff, do a hard reset, and when you get the message saying 3 seconds to customize, do a soft reset before it starts (put the stylus in the reset hole). Then the extended rom will not load.
Good luck,
Re: Extended rom
OK, I want to amend what I said above. I checked my extended rom today and found that indeed the X-plore rom flash had *not* wiped the previous (T-Mobile 3.3 German) extended rom. So, I apologize. It appears to be at least more common than I thought. I have now gone back and done a hard-reset and soft-reset to remove the customizations from the T-Mobile 3.3 rom (which I actually hadn't noticed).
Thanks for teaching me about this. I'll be more careful in my own flashing from now on!
Regards,
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2273408&postcount=2561
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.
Hello,
i have a great problem . First i made a backup with Sprite BAckup and my kaiser had:
ROM: 1.56.412.4
Radio: 1.27.12.11
Then I did an ROM upgrade to:
ROM: 3.29.00.00
Radio: 1.65.17.56
Protocol: 25.83.40.02H
That was ok, and then y restore the Sprite backup, but i think it changed the OS registry or another item, but when it power off and now i try to power on the kaiser it doesn't work, i view only the HTC symbol, but no the windows mobile 6.1 logo.
It' doesn't connect by Active Sync and i can't do anything with it.
Could anybody help me, please??????
Regards
Jorge

Sprite backups can only be restored to the same ROM. The easiest thing for you to do is a HARD RESET, which will reset the current ROM to all defaults and you should be able to boot back into the device. You just have to make whatever changes you had in your old ROM on the new ROM.
Again, do no attempt to restore the backup. If you want to restore the backup, you need to re-flash the old ROM and restore.
Thanks,
i have done the HARD RESET and installed the new ROM again and it's ok.

Not entirely true. The newer Sprite backup (not the oem one that comes with the tilt) allows for 3 or 4 levels of restoration...including one level that is made specifically for cross rom upgrades (ie from L26's v9 to garmin 1.2) and another for upgrades with the same rom type (ie upgrading from garmin 1.1 to garmin 1.2). I dont think that this was present in the older version.

I goto the same problem just a week ago....
and i also tried migration facility ( offered thru Sprite 6.22 Version ) But bottom line is - you have to install everything again after reflashing the new RUU... All you can recover safely is your PIM data... thats all
Once again, not entirely true, it depends on where software makes its changes. I have plenty of apps that get restored (most with serials still intact) after using sprite 6.2.2
Hello,
I am experiencing random freezes with almost any WM6.$ ROM i flash it with.
My current setup is:
HardSPL 3.56
Radio Version: 1.65.21.18
ROM Version: Anryl 21500 rev6
I have also tried Medkid's versions, 1.33, 1.62, 1.62F
Ill give wjtk's version a try today see how this goes.
The problem is, that it will freeze on stupid times, while its a clean installation. e.g. yesterday Medkid's 1.62F froze up on me when i tried to change the time. Then it needed a soft reset through the button, it froze on the boot screen (the one that shows the radio version etc etc) had to soft reset again through the button and i somehow hard reset it that way...
Any ideas?
(Im pretty sure i have CID unlocked it, is there any way to check it?)
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

This subject has been covered many many times, there really was no need to start yet another thread on it.
Try flashing cmonex's 3.29hard s Spl., it is a patched spl for random freezes.

6.5 is still in development so it can't be error free no matter you change the radio's, SPL's. But our master chefs are really working hard to outperform MS guyz.
