Allright I just got a Tilt that's locked to ATT and I am loving it. The amount of info on XDA is mind boggling on the updating subject, and I have been reading for the past 4 days. Please dont flame/hate me, I am just trying to avoid bricking my lovely gadget.
My biggest problem with the Tilt right now is, the proxy settings dont seem to stick. I am hoping that a ROM upgrade might fix that. Other then that I find the eye candy, useful applications (as opposed to junk from ATT) offered by these ROMs combined with their frugal use of memory quite appealing. Someone mentioned they speed up the device considerably.
Question is, how do I choose. I am assuming that you look for a ROM that works with your radio, and work backwards. But is a latter version of a Radio ROM always better? Would a radio ROM for a TyTn II work on the Tilt.
I have not found any info where it says what will and WILL NOT work for a specific instrument, in my case a Tilt.
Hope some Tilt user might be able to clarify.

I'd follow the above suggestion to hit the Tilt wiki...and just as a freebie, I'll take these two questions.
The newer the radio idea doesn't work here. You should really try every radio version that works with the ROM you are using. Why? They all have different absorbtion rates and this affects signal quality/strength and battery drain. What works for you might not work as well for me. And since flashing the radio doesn't wipe all of your programs...it doesn't hurt to swap it every couple of days while you experiment.
As for TyTN II radios on the Tilt....(taken straight from the wiki)
HTC Kaiser is also known as HTC P4550. Official names are:
HTC TyTN II
Qtek & HTC TyTN II / P4550
Orange & HTC TyTN II
T-Mobile MDA Vario III Deutsch
AT&T Tilt (8900, 8915, 8925), FAQ - Tilt nuances, TiltSpecificWikiPage
Vodafone Personal Assistant Compact V
Vodafone v1615 Netherlands
SFR v1615
Swisscom Mobile Assistant XPA v1615
O2 Xda Stellar
These are all the same device with a different name stamped on it.
You could choose any ROM there's some wonderful chefs out there (Dutty, Schaps, Alex, Sleuth, etc,etc....). I have had flashed my Tilt God knows how many times with different ROMs. It's about taste on each ROM, read the specifications on each thread about the ROM and flash it. If it wasn't what you were looking for, choose another ROM. And look here about the Radio version that will work on the Tilt http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375
I'm in Los Angeles using radio 1.27.12.17 and I've very good reception all the time on my tilt.
Happy flashing
This is awesome
I have honestly not see a forum with such a speedy response. I am already deep into the Wiki . Thanks for all the help and a kudos to all the great Chefs.

This is from a brand new HTC Apache, SprintPCS PPC-6700. CDMA, WM5, BT 1.2, WiFi, EV-DO, etc.
The Radio and ExtROM are there also. I'm hoping this will help us Harrier users get WM5 on our phones in combination with the leaked BA WM5 ROM...
92GTA, thanks for your persistence Here is hoping this helps us 6600 users get closer to WM5. One thing I noticed is that the hardware version for both the 6600 and the 6700 both say 0041, so I am really hopeful.
Crossing my fingers on this one. Make sure Buzz is made aware of this ROM!
Well, I'm no expert, and I have no equipment, no software, and no skills, lol. So I can't help much here. But I do applaud the effort and wish there were some way I could contribute.
Anyway, I would imagine that if you take the ROM from an Apache (Sprint PPC-6700) and compare it to the ROM of a Wizard, whatever the differences are is probably exactly what the differences between the Harrier and Blue Angel ROMS need to be (for WM5 to be functional on both).
Just a thought...

Hey could you possibly dump your device?, or guide me to a tutorial or a way to upgrade my harrier to 2.04? thanx
Wheres the ROM Gone??
Hi could you post the rom again, its not on the ftp anymore. I'm after ril.dll in particular. THanks
I browsed around in the FTP.
Since the Apache is some sort of upgrade of the Wizard (? - I think, I don't understand the differences between them), I figured it was in the Wizard section...and it is.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/HTC_Wizard/Extended_Roms/Sprint PPC 6700 extended ROM.zip
thats just the extended rom (the carrier's customisation files). I meant the full ROM. Anyway its ok I dont need it now I got the ril.dll I needed from the wizard instead.
btw the apache is a cdma variation of the wizard, only available in the usa as the sprint 6700, but verizon are releasing it soon.
how do you dump the rom? I've got a sprint 6700 ...
sprint has a 2.xxrom now, i want to put that on my 1.05 verizon xv6700-will it cause major problems?[/quote]
I really enjoy my Tilt and want to take advantage of some of the new offerings from this site, especially in terms of radio performance. However, as you all know, all of the lastest radios interfere with the normal sound operation when installed on the Tilt.
Can someone please explain to me why this is happening? And can I beg and plead with some of the Guru Chefs on this site to help us lowely Tilt owners by finding a solution so that we too can revel in the glory of OEM freedom?
That being said...I love this forum. This is a killer community. Even with the video driver issue, I am so glad I bought an HTC phone and can be part of the excitement. It's amazing how much of the industry is affected by what goes on right here in this place. Thanks to all of the contributers for their time and effort.
The new radios will only work with the new 6.1 roms that came out. Once you put the new rom on your tilt then the new radio will also work. I am holding off though on upgrading to 6.1 because I don't want an official rom. I would rather have a cooked rom so I am waiting until the cooked 6.1 roms get out of beta.
I am using the DCS v1.1 on my phone with the newest radio and am loving it...

as far as I understand.. if you want the official 6.1 update you have to sign up at HTC.com with your serial number and then it'll be listed under "updates for your phone" or if you want one of the much better much more fun roms here on xda-developers, you'll have to read the wiki about flashing your rom... it gives a very clear step by step.
The WiKi gives you all the information you need about flashing.
You will also find all ROM's there that have been released. Official and Coooked
you need to HARDspl your phone.... do this before trying anything further! Read the sticky's or the wiki!!!!!
Currently using Artemis and have done for a while, Re-Flashed loads with new available software, can't fault it at all. Now, Here goes, Looked at xperia and the new O2 Serra, Like them both but was just wondering if there are more better or faultless handsets to upgrade to. With O2 at present and can upgrade any time, Cheers,D

The Blackstone AKA Touch HD is also a viable option.
A friend of mine bought his from Mobile.co.uk (There's a thead in the Blackstone forum on Mobile.co.uk) on O2, got to keep his number etc.

Cheers Dave, Is The Blackstone, AKA Touch HD got the slide out qwerty, Think that would suit me better after pulling out the stylus from my artemis all those times, that's the only drawback with the texting i think. Had a look at a few handsets and was goin to go with what all you guys that are qualified had to say about the best on the market at the moment.
Cheers,D
I´ll wait a little bit
A few days ago has been leaked the HTC roadmap 09 and very very nice devices are coming!
my suggestion is waiting for WM7 to come out.
Good Evening all!! My TP2 for sprint is on the way (hopefully tomorrow but possibly monday)! I have been out of the upgrading game for a few years now. I am coming from a mogul and even in the last year I haven't done anything to that because I felt like I have explored everything in the previous few years. Will anyone point me in the direction of some good links? I feel like I am starting all over with this whole process. anyway... where do I begin? I've been looking for stickies for sprint unlocking but it seems even the basic terms are beyond me....PLEASE HELP!!!
P. S. I formerly used and loved DCDs' ROMs.....what out now is similar to those?
Hi, welcome back to XDA. Seems like you enjoy custom ROMs and personalizing your phone. Everything you need will be in this forum because we use CDMA phones. Seeing as how you are probably going to use a custom ROM, you will first want to check out the Hard SPL thread here.
Once again it is very important to make sure you download CDMA versions as the GSM version can possibly brick your device. The same goes for downloading custom ROMs, which i suggest you download from PPC Geek's CDMA TP2 upgrades.
Below is the configuration that I use. To review different benchmarks on some different custom roms check out the PPC geeks ROM Showdown.
Best of luck with your device and always remember, if you don't know, READ IT AGAIN. If you still don't know, Search the forums. If you still don't know ask one of the experts here
thanks you very much for your response. i'm going to begin "studying" tonight. My TP2 is scheduled to be here before 3 on Monday (so excited). is it all everybody thought it would be and more? I've been out of the upgrading scene for years
hey, i recently did the same thing (upgrade from mogul to TP2)
as burtonsnow linked, HSPL is stickied in this forum
personally i use NRG's rom (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489)
i used to use DCD because it was lightweight, but the TP2 doesnt have the same RAM issues as the mogul, so i found i can indulge in a rom with some more eye candy
anyway, hope you like the TP2, im loving mine all my iphone fanboy/girl friends who thought my mogul was "nice, but not as good as an iphone" nearly **** themselves when they say my TP2 (they all want one now lol)
radios and such
is there a list of what radios work best with certain roms (and works well with gps)? when i had the mogul i used to use garmin mobile xt...is that the best program to use for the TP2?
i dont think there is as big a selection of radio roms for the TP2, ive really only seen the sprint stock radio around
i use TomTom on both mogul and TP2, so i cant comment on garmin
