noob trying to get his phone to work... - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

Hi guys, first post on the forums... so be a little patient, I hope I am in the right place.
I bought a used att Tilt last night and it came with windows mobile 6.1 already on it. I threw my sim card in there and it kept dropping signal. it would have signal for one minute and then lose it for a minute and then get it back. anyways I figured it was a botched install or something so I went to HTC's website and flashed the 6.1 update they have there.
RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0
now it runs a lot faster and except it wont allow me to call out/connect to the internet or anything.
I do have 4 bars and it says I am connected to the ATT network but something isn't right.
if you guys could help me out that would be great but I am a little new to this so bear with me.

Does your SIM still work in your old phone? and can you receive calls(you only stated you can't call out)

does the signal keep popping in and out and the radio signal strength icon (where the bars usually are) have an exclamation mark when you have no signal?
if that is the case, i dont know the fix, but ive had two devices do the same thing. both would exhibit the same behavior with stock 6.1/6.0/many customs and many radio versions, spl 3.28/29/56 and 1.0, and returning them to stock. i still have one of them and was going to return it for service. i thought i might have been the evil radio problem, but it took every flash i threw at it and still had the same problem.
this is all with my sim that works in my two current kaisers/moto q/bj2/bb 8310 etc...
havent been able to figure it out...

When you go into BootLoader (Hold Power and Camera buttons and use stylus to push reset button) what does it say?

have you tried fashing a new radio?

Advice sought... my VIII is now GSM only

hi -
the problems: since flashing 2 weeks ago my vario III only works for voice and data in gsm only mode - with 3G enabled i generally can't make or receive a call or connect to data, but the device . Everything works when i switch to GSM only...
The complications/wierdness: straight after flashing a new rom or radio i have sometimes been able to get the device to connect to 3G or make a call - but this usually only last for one session or so.
What i've done: i've installed just about every combination of ROM and Radio i can find - including all of the 6.1 radios with Dutty's 6.1, the "official" vodafone 6.1 rom, alex's, schaps, and i've tried going back to 6.0 roms and the 1.27.12.32 and .11 radios but still the same
what is the verdict? bricked? or am i missing something....

I don't think it's bricked.. if it was bricked your device wouldn't even turn on.
Did you hard reset after each flash?
Was it working before your original flash?
answers to both: yes
- working fine before i flashed it
- I've been obeying Dutty's rebooting advice - how could I ignore instruction given in bold AND capitals?
I'm having the same problems. Thinking of putting origional ROM with radio back on and removing hardspl and returning under warrenty but cant find origional splash screen anywhere! Help would be appreciated
had the same problem with my tilt...changed sim card ...different roms ...radios ...basically everthing i could do....but in the end called at&t and they sent me a replacement...goodluck
I had a similiar situation but with my GPS.
The Tilt I bought just 1 month ago was a GPS Champ, always acquired a lock quick. I had flashed XDA-Live v1.5 right over the at&t 1.62 Rom (after HardSPL of course).
Then I used th enew SIM/CID Unlocker (with the hacked Polaris Radio) and of course flashed back to the at&t Radio (from the leaked at&t 1.60 Rom).
Since then I had a coupel of times where the GPS locked-up and required a soft reset.
So yesterday I flashed a WM6.1 Rom and a Niki Radio as I've seen a lot of user report excellent results.
It made my GPS useless. I quickly reflashed XDA Live v1.5 (with the Radio from the at&t 1.60 Rom) but my GPS still seemed lost.
Ironically today is day #29 of the 30 on this Tilt so last night I removed HardSPL and flashed the Official at&t 1.62 Released Rom using the Official exe and everything figuring I'd returnt he unit today.
Wouldn't you know it, I tested the GPS and even on the untouched at&t Rom it was working better than it had ever worked before!
Now I know that the Radio in at&t 1.60, 1.61 & 1.62 are *supposed* to be the exact same but I can say that the over from at&t 1.62 fixed a problem that the 1.60 Rom's radio couldn't. Yes, I do a hard reset after each flash already.
Heck when my daughters return from Disney I'm going to flash the 1.62 version fo the at&t Radio onto my oldest's Kaiser and see if it improved her GPS also.
seems like everyone who replied has a tilt not a VIII. Are you sure your settings are correct for your network? that would be my first guess at this point input them manually and dont use the connection wizard app as sometimes it doesnt work right. also check your phone settings make sure its set to AUTO or UTMS only if all else falls force it into 3G mode using the Band settings post your results back please

hey I am having a similar problem at my house when i first got my tilt i have a very strong 3G signal here. That tilt messed up sent it in and this new one that i got worked just fine till i flashed a new rom on it now it wont pick up 3G unless i go somewhere else and come back to my apt. And yes i HardSPL'ed it and hard reset after flashing. I even went back to stock tilt rom and that didn't work. I have tried all the radio's on this forum from stock to the new imported NIKI radio's nothing has brought it back. When I go get the 3G signal elsewhere and comeback god forbid i have to soft reset because there goes 3G out the window and locked to edge. Should i return to AT&T for an exchange or is there a fix i'm not finding?

The Tilt Roms by default don't allow manual band selection.
Bad Data settings wouldn't cause poor reception just inability to connect (regardless of 3G or Edge/Gprs) for data sessions.
Based on my experience I would say first test is to do the work and reset your phone to the latest shipped Carrier Rom for your Carrier and see if your problems persist.
When I was having my GPS issues I also had a few wierd Call issues like calls not disconnecting (I had to toggle the phone radio to actually end the call).

I had the same issue with a t-mobile(UK) viii. The issue appeared after a while using the phone before I'd got into flashing different ROMS. In the end, i had the unit swapped out and the problems went away and have not returned. You can assume its a hardware issue. I went through the is it your SIM, is it this... is it that... after explaining that basically i was right next to a 3G transceiver in a big city.
Like I mentioned, this was a fault which developed after two months of no issues.
Old hardware version (looking under battery cover):
DATE:061107(TB02)/EU
New phone:
date:090807(RB01)/EU
I have had the same issue. I have returned the phone today and exchanged on my insurance. the new phone works fine.
thanks for all the feedback - shame there isn't a fix ..
austinsnyc: thanks for your help...
- i was using the connection wizard (difference i've noticed was that it includes a proxy server which i don't when i set up manually) so i created a new connection manually
- i've changed to 3G-only and i got "no service" (though i have previously got it to work)
- i put it on auto, it registered 2G then showed 3G signal in the taskbar. Tried to connect to my manually created connection - no joy: "cannot connect for an unknown reason etc".... then i got "no signal" for about 30 seconds, then full bars of gsm, then shows 3G again....
changed back to gsm only - works fine.
I'm not exactly sure t-mobile are going to take it back!... i'll have to hunt down the original t-mobile uk rom first....
got my new tilt in yesterday and it works totally fine like i thought in my apt. If you could wilbur i would definitely get a new one i think its the phone itself.
lol so i checked to see if switching off the 3g on my new kaiser then switching back would cause the same problem and it sure did so now im stuck with edge in my damn apt. again. I wonder if these new kaiser's they're shipping out are different than the old ones, when i first bought mine at launch oct.5, 07 i could switch back and forth between 3g. Now with 3 new tilts i have gotten i cant do it anymore this blows Damn i should have never given that first one away damn
so annoying...
i upgraded to the latest Dutty Rom (the 6.1 hybrid) - sure enough, straight away after flashing i was able to use 3G to make and receive calls, and to make a data call (but it was really slow)... then, within 30 minutes, i was back to the old phone: cannot connect a 3G call and no connection to data... so annoying - i'd almost prefer it didn't work at all than tempt me with the prospect that one day i'll find a rom that works...
anyway - I'm going to need to replace it - anyone know which rom/radio combo i'd need to flash to convince the guys at T-Mobile to take my VIII back? and btw - does anyone have any experience of trying to return handsets covered in scratches?
can anyone tell me if these problems are linked to Flashing ROMS? Since i had my last Vario 3 replaced ive been apprehensive about flashing if this is what broke the last one but i really want to flash it again.

Lost att network...

Okay, all of my family is on AT&T, all of them have poo poo phones. What reason would there, could there be for me to be the only one having cell signal connectivity issues??? All I have is the upside down hanger with the ! sign. I soft resetted, hard resetted, searched for network, and still can't find AT&T...any ideas?????
Okay...I tried it with a different SIM card and same problem...1 bar and then I lose all connectivity...no..wait, got one up---and it's gone...
My wife's phone has 3 bars..
flash a different radio. Try the latest one that comes from At&t's latest rom update. I think its 1.14.25.35 (dont have my device on me). I have that radio and get excellent reception!
BTW, that upside down hanger is supposed to be an antenna
I tried flashing the radio (2 of them in fact) and same issue...
I tried the newest one (the one you referenced to) and I got the tri-color screen of death with a "ROM update error" message...
freaked me out, the only way I could restore the phone to it's former glory was to go back to .19 radio...
still same issue...

Maybe you should get the newest rev of at&t's sim cards. I guess that could be a possible problem?
I thought about that and will be heading over to the schtore today...
Well...didn't have a chance to...but man something is seriously wrong here!!! The phone is running at a 30% signal outdoors and absolutely no signal indoors where before it used to be 100/60...
No one has any clues????
uhhh...desperation bump...
Did you change your dll file?
LOL...?
*goes to wiki...be right back*
The phone did this (with bad signal) before I even changed any radios...
I went back to 1.02.25.19, do I still need a dll?
My advice would be to flash back to a complete stock ROM, radio and all. If the reception does not improve, I would call AT&T, and have the phone replaced under warranty.
First off I love everything all you guys do!! Im not a big poster (because I usually find the answers to my problems using the SEARCH button) but im on this site everyday.
Im having the same problems, everything works great on the phone, but the signal is no good, and the delay when answering. I tried the new sim and still no good. Ive tried different radios and rilphone.dll, but still cannot get the signal to improve. Im runnning the latest Energy rom and the only thing i install is chome editor and showaco weather. Tried the latest stock rom/radio from att etc... still no better.
Are any of them aftermarket signal boosters that go in the back of your phone any good?
I got my Fuze from ebay so no warrenty. Ive been with ATT for almost 10 years, signal was great before they went to cingular. Now that its back to ATT i think the service is even worse then cingulars. Im to the point where im considering dropping ATT for Verizion. Any suggestions?

No signal - Reflashed 3 times

Today my phone has been switching from no signal to signal
and now it refuses to get any signal
i have tried changing the radio
reflashed stock rom
then reflashed a modded rom
and each one has the same result ...
any other ideas what could be wrong?
i get signal if i put the sim in another phone
so its definately phone related
make sure the radio matches the rilphone.dll?
yep
same .dll from the radio package
have a feeling its some internal problem
cuz the sim is fine otherwise
grr
What about Edge?
I had a LOT of frustrations with mine a couple of weeks ago, then, just to play a hunch, I disabled 3G, and went back to edge and it worked perfectly. Sent an email to the deathstar, and they sent back saying they were having 3G problems. Reading over on boygeniusreport.com, a LOT of people are having trouble with 3G. At&t doesn't have the bandwith to support all the apple iPhone fanboys I guess.
Probably not what's causing your issue, but might be worth a try...save you from pulling your hair out.

If this doesn't help, disabling 3G, you may have to do a warranty exchange.
left battery out all night (last night)
then i reconneced it this morning
and everything seems to working fine
must have been some internal static
thanks dudes

[Q] Updating bootloader/network issue case

Hi there, i have two questions:
I made all the procedure and installed cleanrom/elemental kernel, this combo is superb!
The question is, I still have the 1,09 bootloader, should i update it too?
Also, my phone, looses signal, a bit randomly. In my house, it never looses signal, but when i am out and carrying it, i see some signal drops, with no signal and an "X" on the signal bars. After a few minutes or seconds the signal is recovered. I use an old (10year?!) "cutdown" sim, could that cause all this problem? That it just doesn't make sometimes good contact? Anyway i am going to have a new one sim the next days, just didn;t have the time to go and get a new one.
Also, does anyone know good radios for Europe?Showed the map, but i don't see anything for Europe, thanks!

No! You want the 1.09 bootloader. The more recent version is more locked down and a pain in butt when it comes to flashing roms.

Verizon Signal Issues - Help

I need some help here, weird Verizon signal issue. So I got my U11 on Thursday the 22nd of June. I tested out the stock rom, all working fine, signal working fine too. Then I unlocked the bootloader, put twrp on in system RO mode, put magisk on, then put viperU 1.0.0 on. Viper/magisk and everything was working perfectly, I still had signal, could make and receive calls, send and get texts, wifi was all good, everything was good until Friday afternoon. I think it had to do with me trying to install the ota 1.1.0 viperU, but my signal dropped, still had 4g but that was touch n go. I tried to reinstall the ota because as far as my settings said and knew, I was still on 1.0.0 and when it checked for updates it found 1.1.0 again. After that 4g would work for a moment at boot then die, and there was no signal for calls/texts, that has the signal bars full with a slash through them. I tried fresh installing viperU 1.0.0, no change. I tried every combo in the test/advanced settings, changing the preferred network mode and ims settings, turn the radio off and back on and it would see verizon and try to connect, sometimes seemingly getting signal and changing the signal bars and getting 4g, then losing both. The status msgs on the advanced settings page would go back and forth as far as registered on the network, so I went to verizon and tried to get a new sim, the new sim didn't change anything, BUT a weird thing that happened is when the vzw rep went to the back to get me a new sim and activate it my U11 got signal, both 4g and call/text and I even got a msg, then it died again a moment later. So next I tried completely restoring and relocked my bootloader and installed the 1.11.617.4 RUU for my OCNWHL using htc_fastboot which it did perfectly fine, but still no signal. The bootloader says relocked(L) and software status: modified. Shouldn't it say official again since I flashed the RUU? I have tried reseating the sim and rebooting multiple times too. Oh and one more thing I noticed, my WiFi is touch and go now too, it'll say connected but websites fail to load, apps fail to download, etc until I turn off and back on my phone WiFi. Any ideas guys/gals on how to get my phone connected again? I just want to be able to use my new U11! Thanks in advanced!

All I can say is a lot of people are having problems with Verizon, me being one of them. I've had the phone almost 2 weeks and still can't get it working. I've talked to HTC and Verizon so many times and they say it's being worked on.
same here. Spent a couple days with near constant contact with Verizon trying to figure out out. Got in touch with HTC and it seems it may be a firmware issue. I can verify with no doubt that it's not the sim though. I've put mine back in my old phone, it worked. I put my daughters in my new phone, it failed to work. I even got a new sim for mine, but no luck. Multiple ROMs, multiple RUUs, and multiple factory resets, and wipes. All we can do is waiter, and pester the hell out of HTC to get them to hurry up.

It's so stupid that they don't even do testing before putting it on the market.
If either Verizon or HTC would come up with a simple software update to enable CDMA and all LTE bands, that would solve everything. The problem seems to be that Neither is putting much priority on it.
BTW: Since the U11 works with Sprint, it has the CDMA and LTE bands built in. They're just not set up to fully work with Verizon yet.
Exact same problem.
My unit is going back for refund tomorrow. 4 hours of work trying to get it going and I'm done. HTC blames VZW, VZW says it's hardware. $650.00 paperweight. No thank you.
I'll reorder if this get straightened out. There are hundreds working just fine on VZW.
Seems to be just a few of these that wont stay connected.

I was starting to lean towards firmware today because of the wifi going in and out. Seems like to get an app to download from play I have to search it, start the download, turn off wifi, turn it back on and then it'll download, yet updates download just fine. Fandango app won't load movies or anything. Etc. So I'm wondering if it's the system or radio...
stock U11 no issues on VZW
I took my sim out of my VZW line to test it out on my U11. I did some speed tests before I took it out. I inserted the VZW sim into the U11 and it booted up with no issues. Received LTE and ran speed tests and they were similar to the other device. There was VoLTE available and it was stable but I didn't make any calls with it. So just sharing my experience with my stock, Unlocked U11. I put the Tmo sim back in but it's good to know it'll work. It seems like some are having issues from the get go and some are having issues after modifying?

That's what's so screwy about it. On mine, I get WiFi flawlessly, and I even get mobile data, in 4g even. I just can't talk, or text. Before that, I could text, but no data, and couldn't talk. It's got to do with the way it's using the radios being screwy. The hardware functions, I've had full connection before, it lasted about 2 hours, and sounded amazing even.

Short answer: Yes. I noticed mine stopped after installing a ROM on it, but it was not the first one (test driving to see which I liked on it best). Others have the issue even with it locked still. I think the ROM flashing was more a circumstance than the cause in cases like mine. I even RUU'd back to stock, did factory resets, and tried other SIMs. It also seems to be only Verizon, unless someone on another network wants to set me straight.

I even RUU'd back to stock, did factory resets, and tried other SIMs. It also seems to be only Verizon, unless someone on another network wants to set me straight.

I remember an issue on Verizon and the M9 that after flashing a custom rom, you stood the chance of loosing VoLTE. It did not happen to everyone and did not happen all of the time. I flashed custom rom for months and then one day, boom, VoLTE gone. The only way to get it back was to get the phone replaced. RUU did not work to get it back. Sounds similar to what is going on now. So my question is has this problem affected anyone that has not unlocked the bootloader yet?
I just checked the M9 Verizon section and looks like they did find a fix without replacing the phone. But I think you need to be s-off. Interested if this could resolve any of these issues here.

I will be trying this later today. Good ol' @dottat
If we get s-off we can probably safely flash roms without magisk n still have volte n even a more stable radio/system firmware, if dev's make it happen of course. Or am I wrong, I don't mind having magisk, I just want to be able to root n customize my phone with it still working as a phone n not a fancy calculator or wifi only device haha. I'm debating getting a replacement from HTC until the firmware stabilizes at least, then I'll mod some more. Cause mine was working perfectly fine until I tried to put viperu 1.1.0 Ota on it.
I just noticed that when I drag down and get the quick settings into view there's a note in the top left that says "the sim card is missing or not readable. Insert a sim card" and that doesn't go away even when the occasional notification that says "sim card inserted click here to finish setup" pops up.
Was fine for a couple days - now suddenly today only getting "roaming" service. Manually trying to connect to VZW fails and says my SIM isn't allowed access.

The full story is in the op of this thread, but it started about a day after I got the phone, started with only voice/text going out, then lte dropped too so now my phone is wifi only. R u on stock or have u unlocked ur bootloader?

Ah sorry, didnt notice you were OP. I have unlocked but was running stock OS with Magisk (no other mods, I just wanted root). Noticed that turning of VoLTE in phone settings killed connection, so I was able to toggle that off and on (+airplane mode in between) to usually resurrect connection. Now nothing is working. Going to do a full wipe now to see if it comes back.

No worries haha. My signal today is intermittent, I'll get bars but can't call because when I try 4g turns off. In the HTC test settings, when I have bars it sees Verizon network but not my phone number, where as when I don't have bars (bars with slash through them) it sees my number but not Verizon network. For u to see this menu type *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer. My VoLTE is activated in settings tho.
Factory wipe didn't help either. Doing RUU now. This is so ridiculous. Also I accidentally deleted my backup, oops. Le sigh. This thing will probably be going back. Sad. I was loving the phone.

Bruh - go in menu -> Phone Info -> Turn Off Radio
Select "LTE Only" Select "WCDMA/LTE"
Turn radio back on.
Fixed problem instantly!!! Thank you SO SO MUCH!
edit: MMS doesn't work, but SMS seems possibly ok? not sure.
edit 2: WCDMA/LTE is the magical answer. All seems working now.
