So I haven't been here in a while but it seems that everyone and their Mom are making Rom's for HTC devices. Also it seems the tilt is known by a few names so I never am quite sure if I'm reading info for the right phone.
I looked at the wiki but a lot of that information is old. So I guess my 1st question is this:
My company is getting me a AT&T Tilt and the 1st thing I want to do is get rid of the bloatware from AT&T. There doesn't seem to be a catch all for all things related to the tilt.
So what ROM's are stable enough to install?
Are these phones unable to be sim unlocked (not like it matters)?
ISo you can flash the Radio ROM seperate from the Phone RIM (I'm so confused)?
And finally this phone can still be CID unlocked (Which will need to happen)in order to flash a unofficial "cooked ROM on to the handset)?
If there is one post that shows all this info that would be awesome. I've followed a few threads but the information seems disjointed and then others start talking about handsets similar to the tilt but I don't know if it applies.
Soft for all the newbie questions.
I had a TMo Dash and MDA and then a Cingular 8125. That was over 6 months ago. Started a new job and they made me go to a blackberry. Then we got bought by Qualcomm so now I have convinced my boss to get me this phone.
Thanks in advance
It's all here. Your Tilt is an HTC Kaiser and you're in the right forum! Some quick answers:
HardSPL gives CID unlock
No free SIM unlock yet
All ROMs are stable.
Independent radio flashing is limited b/c AT&T's latest ROM features a radio unique to it. Sound is lost if either of the two appear separately. Orange ties SIMLock to their radio so if you flash a different radio on an Orange phone, you will need to sim unlock with several of the free unlockers to get up and running again. However you can flash a different ROM on Orange w/o touching the radio and everything's golden still.
Look at the sticky threads in upgrading for more complete answers. Happy hunting!
Nice executive summary Sleuth, however I have difficulties to understand what you mean with this:

What exactly do you mean with several of the free unlockers?
oops damn, what a typo! I meant "several of the not-free" unlockers....

No worries, actually a very interesting phenomenom.
Did any of the guys have to do a double unlock? (i.e. before and after they moved to orange radio). And were the codes different?
hope this helps
hardspl is necessary for ROM flashing (sleuth kinda glazed over it)
when you put on hardspl, it won't look like anything was done, but you can then flash ROMs as much as you'd like.
I stick with at&t ROMs to avoid radio issues.
You could always start by hard resetting and then soft resetting before the at&t customizations install. Either way it's a good idea to test out the stock ROM.
Hello guys,
I'm new on the forum and I have to congratulate you for the fantastic community you have, the posts are most useful and I have made several improvements to my device with the help of them.
I'm posting this thread because I have the following issue with my Vox, I hope anyone can help me:
I've installed a couple of weeks ago the WM 6.1 rom by Dr Gonzo (thanks a lot Dr Gonzo for your contribution!) and a couple of days ago the device started to not recognize any sim card at all!
The unit is factory unlocked and unbranded, I've tried reflashing the original htc rom and the 6.1 back and forth and the problem still remains....
Sometimes it recognizes the sim card, but after a copule or hours the system says INVALID SIM or NO SIM.
does anyone have experienced the same issue? it's driving me nuts.... it would be a shame to lose the phone....
In the mean time I had to switch back to my ol'relaiable moto mpx 220.....
Any help will be very appreciated.....
PS: Excuse my not so good english, but I'm not a native speaker....
Greetings from Chile!
thts definitely a hardware fault.
you should take that to the HTC service.
Hi to all,
Well guys I have a question...
I have a ppc with these specs that had
already been installed in it by someone
else:
I don't know if it's unlocked..the guy told me it was..
but for some reason i don't believe the dam guy...
(getting lots of freezes and doing lots of hard resets)
No joy!...
HTC Herm100=Cingulars 8525
Rom version : 3.62.502.20 WWE
Radio version 1.16.00.00
Protocol version : 32.53.7018.014
And I want to better it, what can I do?
Plus I would like to have GPS runing
on it, if possible...The GPS I know it
came with and would like to see it
working...Any ideas?
thanks...
I got this in a trade i did for a dual indash dvd,
in the box..
Hey guys I know you want us to read...But it's not only to read you got to study things before you get in to them and I've done this before in a motorola...But with this one it seems a bit more complicated.And since I don't know what has been done this this ppc ,I'm a little skimy about doing this...
I've been resetting this since I got it..So my thoughts are to use the sim unlock for htc herm,and use this rom Hard-SPL-V7...Any thought...thanks
Hi,
I am on a mission today, to upgrade my phone. Currently I have Windows Mobile 5.2.21812 and its very unstable.
I know nothing about flashing these, as I bought the phone from EBAY not knowing it had Windows Mobile 6.5 on it.
I notice reading in the forums, I need to know if its CDMA, or GSM etc ? How would I tell that please? Phone is HTC Touch Pro.
Many thanks.

If your phone has a SIM Card Slot then its a GSM Model. If it has no SIM Card then its CDMA.
Ohhhh I see Thank you ever so much.
Would this be the right ROM to use - just making sure, before I start to read all the instructions ..............

You didnt say what phone you have - so we cant tell!
If you have a GSM phone (sim card) then you want to start reading here If however you have a CDMA phone (no sim card) then here would be a good place to look

Steveyg, Touch Pro's are CDMA too. No one wants to help you if you're going to brick your device. Are you GSM or CDMA? We will assist as much as possible, but help us by answering that simple question.
Ohhh I understand now
Mine is a phone with a SIM, thus GSM is that correct?

Radio is comparable to something like your WiFi card in your laptop. Depending on your location, etc, some radios are better than others. They control your signal, GPS, WiFi, etc. The most used one that I've seen is 1.14.25.35
UC Capable is something you need when you start cooking. If you're new to the Raph, you probably don't need this info yet.
SPL is the most important. Since you bought your device pre-flashed with 6.5, is should be hardSPL. This helps prevent your device from becoming an expensive paperweight. Now, it helps, but doesn't guarantee. If you put your device into bootloader (hold vol-, hold power, and reset with stylus) your device at the top of your screen should say something like SPL-1.90.Olinex. This means it's hardSPL and you are able to flash custom ROMS, like the NRGZ28 ROM you linked to. As long as they are GSM you should be able to flash any ROM for the GSM Touch Pro.
These are the basics so just keep reading the wiki. I will answer any questions I can, so just shoot me a PM if needed
Hey, if you want to flash your Raphael, I'd recommend you read this
I did my first, regardint this thread, and actually worked, really simple if you ask me!
Some suggestions: Leave the radio, for first, just do a simple ROM flash, and after that if you find it nessescery you can do it later.
The only ROM I tried for my Raphael is TAEL's ROM, it's amazing compared to the stock ROMs!!! If you're intrested click on it in my signature!
I have the following ROM;-
r:- 1.11.25.01
g:-52.58.25.30u
d 5. phoenix
Do I have to revert to a OEM ROM? If so, where do I find those please?
Good news, I've been sucessfull Phoned imaged to TAEL Roms - very good.
Could of questions;-
1. Don't have the sat nav the other image had. Can't remember the name of it. but I used to use that quite alot. Does anyone know where I can download it from?
2. Used to have an application called FLASHLIGHT - great little app. Its a TOURCH application that used the FLASH Light. Really handy. Where can I download it please.
Many thanks.

1) are you talking about the garmin or tomtom gps software? or the one where you use the GPS to lock down a location (kinda like "dude where's my car?" app for the iphone)
search on the forums under software development subforum. it's called Torch.. that or NueLight.
Thanks I managed to find the torch light thing, but still can't find the sat nav. Not sure what the name was. It was really good though. Wasn't the tom tom navigator. Wish I made a note of it, as it was fully working version :-(
are you talking about the GPS navigation software? if so then it's either garmin (mobile XT) or tomtom
Hi,
Looking on my storage card Managed to find the name - AUTO MAPA. Tried to load it from the storage card, and it works. So I have copied the exe to the start menu, multimedia folder and it works great
Whats this GARMIN Mobile XT like then?
Since updating to TAEL Rom, my signal is very low and keeps disconnecting from the network.
Do I need to upgrade my RADIO then?
My version is;-
1.11.25.01
I found this one, would this work ?
http://www.4shared.com/file/133094257/1e1ce983/BlackStone_Radio_1172509.html
try testing other radio. I changed my radio to the new ATT official rom (not so new anymore but it was the latest updated ATT rom). Test it out for a few days each and map out what you think works best and keep to that.
One thing I noticed is that some radios will crash your phone after a call.. they may give you better signals, but it will crash your phone, so be aware of that.
Hi,
Thanks for the message. Does it matter that I am on TMOBILE and not ATT ?
hello im quite new hear but i just have one consern at the moment that im hopeing someone will help me with i just bought a hct hd2 and put wp7 on it
curently running mango os version 7.0.7392.0
any way i just got my pre payed sim card from tmoble and everythang seams to be working fine but when i set it up i couldent do the part ware it says connection setup i got
WARNING
Thare is no SIM card or PIN code has not
been input.
Please insert SIM card or input PIN code
first to use Connection setup
so any way i skiped that and chated wit ms toget my activation code everythangs seams to work fine on my home wifi
but now i have my sim card and i just put it in AND THE PHONE STILL SAYS I DONT HAVE A SIM CARD? i havent activated it yet at tmoble because be4 i do i wana make sure my device settings are right so its suposed to get recognised as an hd7 am i right?
in my settings /about it clearly states I have name /model htc hd2
so my question is am I good or did I do something wrong IS MY REGISTRY EDITED CORECTLY TO MAKE IT HD7 OR NOT HOW CAN I TELL? AND WHAT PHONE SHOULD I SAY I HAVE WHEN I ACTIVATE IT AT TMOBLE?
You'll probably get better luck asking the HD2 forums since this is in regards to their phone.
But as for the SIM issue, if your SIM card is not activated then the phone will say that there is no SIM card in the device. It needs to be activated before the phone will recognize it as a legit SIM card.
firstly 7392 is NODO,7712,7714 & 7720 is Mango.Does the features of wp7 in your hd2 workable ?

Good lord, man. Here's the best piece of advice you will ever receive: Put down the phone and go to school. Learn to spell and write complete sentences. That skill set will serve you much better in the long run than getting WP7 working on an HD2.

This is uncalled for. XDA is a worldwide website, maybe English isn't the OP's first language. I think OP did a pretty good job trying.
@OP: prjkthack is coorect. This should of been posted in the HD2 section as it's a non-official WP7 device & god knows what could cause such a complication. Also, as he said, it could very well be that the SIM is not Activated.
