WM6 - point me in the direction please

Iv'e got an AT&T Tilt sim unlocked and I have installed the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship rom.
But I'm new to phones and wm6. In my enthusiasm Iv'e been trying to get the various cubes to work and made the mistake of installing some stuff to Storage Card instead of Device.
My best option seems to be to start over but I'm not sure what the best way is. If it were a normal pc it would be no prob to reinstall windows. But this thing has no hard disk. I basically want to take it back to factory settings and if possible remove all customisations. Could someone tell me the best way please.
Would also be obliged for a pointer to a good site with info about the workings of wm6 with loads of 'how to's'

A factory reset is a "hard reset"
Just use the clear storage option in settings. The device will reboot to factory settings.

Thanks. A couple of questions
1. Will that leave behind a load of shortcuts, folders, files etc that can be cleared in order to save space/confusion or will all the stuff I have installed be removed?
2. Will it affect the sim unlocked status?
3. Will the factory reset to the rom that I have installed?

Well let's see.... After a hard reset...
1. No. only the apps that came with your tilt are there. you lose everything else.
2. I don't think so.
3. Yes.
As for the site with lot's of how-to's and fancy stuff... well you have forum.xda-developers.com, and The Kaiser Wiki, in the aforementioned site.

Just thought of another one Will it affect my mobile network usage/recognition (um. dont know how to say it properly. But I have a 3 network sim)

Should not. if you're talking about switching networks when putting in another sim, then no, this should work fine.
Then again, if you're talking about how much time you were in the networks and the costs and all that calculations, then yes, it will be reset.

Thanks. Worked just as you said

O2 XDA Stellar Corporate Software Install?

Hi,
I should be getting my XDA Stellar tomorrow, I currently have a mini S and was just wondering wether there is an option to do a corporate install on the Stellar (removing all the O2 crap) like there was on the mini S.
Any Ideas?

When I started up my Stellar for the first time it just loaded the O2 custom stuff by default - don't think there was a way to stop it. You'll probably need to investigate how you change the ROM.
I'm in the process of trying to understand how this works from reading here but not confident enough I do understand it yet to even think about attempting it.
I loaded TomTom Nav 6 the other day & that seems to work well although it did completely freak at one point meaning all I got on the screen was the Tom Tom splash screen - even after a soft reset.
Managed to unload it & reload it & all has been OK since although yesterday the GPS went mental - couldn't find more than one or two satellites & at one point it was telling me I was somewhere out in the atlantic off the coast of France! (I was in my house near London at the time )
Overall I think its a good device. I just want to figure out how I can get it to default to using the available Wifi connection when I'm in the house rather than heading straight for a GPRS connection when I run Internet Explorer.

Anyone else?
How hard would it be to install a HTC ROM if I can't remove the O2 software?
Are there any benefits to having the O2 ROM as oppoes to the HTC ROM and Vice Versa?

I'd guess the O2 rom has some "bloat-ware" in it & it'll also contain all the settings you need for GPRS access, voicemail etc that it will program into the device for you.
I think O2's "Today" screen is a bit of a mess to be honest.
When you first start the thing up there is a 3-5 second delay after initial setup before it then runs the carrier's customisation
I saw something posted that if you pull the battery at this point then it will stop the customisation & you just get the standard HTC config. Not sure of what the potential risks are though.
Apparently you can do this at any point afterwards as well if you do a hard reset (don't know how you do that yet!)
I.

to stop the custom o2 install, when it says about to customer soft reset it by poking the stylus in the reset hole on the base of the phone

I've just left the stock ROM running, but stopped various aspects of the software that comes with it from starting up by removing the links from the startup menu. The device doesn't run slowly at all. I was amazed at how ugly the O2 stuff was!
I didn't bother with a new ROM, I have just installed the best bits of the HTC stuff from this forum (many thanks to many people, incidentally) and it improves the functionality of the device massively with very little work. Why O2 felt the need to replace good software with ugly rubbish I'll never know.
I run TomTom 6, and have never had any trouble with it at all; I always get a good quick lock, and have never found myself in the wrong country!

program to track phone?

well i was thinking this would be a cool apt. is there somethign where idk your phone gets stolen. well you could just look it up on the web or something and it will give you a location via the gps? seems cool but i dont know how easy it is to do...
btw after switching from my now dead 8125 i love this phone! the graphics do lag a bit tho

The author of TrackMe is looking into making it a feature of TrackMe application
i found the following links by this

Mobile Justice (downloadable through SourceForge) offers the ability to text message another phone (with the GPS coords or other info) should your SIM be replaced after being stolen or lost. Or you can surreptitiously text message your phone to get the info. There are also a number of paid software options.
Remember - if your phone is hard reset these programs will be gone unless you cook them (and the settings) into your ROM. I've done it with MobileJustice and it's not too tough.

Hi brianmay27
You could try this
I believe that it survives a hard reset too!?

Went through it with WIMP too. Nothing out there (that I know of) survives a hard reset unless it (and your settings) are part of your ROM. Thus, any knowledgeable thief will just hard reset the phone once they have it. Personally I don't believe that many thieves will be that knowledgeable, but it is a danger. FYI.
Since all were virtually the same as far as protection, I went with MobileJustice because it's free. However, a free key to one was offered on here a while ago. I got it and may check that one out when I cook my next ROM. FWIW, this has been discussed many times before. Look here for other options - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365054

Data connection but no data

Hi all,
Having problems, and Orange UK have so far been less than useful... When trying to check emails or go on the 'net, obviously my Tytn II logs onto a data connection - GPRS, 3G or HSPDA depending on where I am in the country. However, the handset won't send or receive any data - webpages (including the Orange World one) come up with an error that they couldn't be located, and emails (from a couple of different accounts/ servers) won't download.
Short of hard resetting the handset, what fixes are there?
...mmm.... looking at the Orange UK WM6.1 thread... Maybe I'll try that, see if it fixes it...

have you tried a soft reset? I've had something like this in the past and the soft reset has sorted it

Soft as in take it to the bootloader screen and then reset again? I did try that once, but can try it again. Apart from that I've tried several 'normal' resets as I think that's worked in the past. V frustrating though

Windows Mobile corruption on my Kaiser

Hi,
Over the weekend, my Kaiser starting giving the error message that it was running low on memory, and i suspect that it was due to downloading large files and the system cache filling up.
I tried ClearTemp and MemAid to regain space and it was a temporary fix.
How ever last night my Today screen was not displaying correctly (only showing HTC Home) and a SPB Wireles icon citing that both Phone Alarm and SPB Wireless were unsigned and incorrect parameters.
I decided to check my 8gb MicroSD to reinstall the applications but virtually all data on it was erased (except for the files in use on the today screen) It was only half full.
I cant even access the settings page to modify my Today screen as the 'settings button is no longer there.
Has anyone experienced this and / or know of a fix. I prefer to exhaust all avenues before i hard reset and build it back again.
thanks in advance for your input.

Dear friend,
your situation looks very complicated. I have never faced such a problem,but I am aware of some similar problems....but those problems are very rare,though.
First of all you need to do some back up if you can and format your memory card on your PC.
Then find some good ROM,I suggest a non modified,stock ROM and flash your device.
I know this can be frustrating,but this is the only way to get your device to work again.
Although I do not know what exactly did you do before that problem appeared,the solution is very simple...new ROM.Stock HTC ROM would be the best.
Let me know if I was helpful.
Best regards,
Alexander.

Thanks, I ended up having to hard reset.
I have currently defaulted to the stock Aus3 Rom but am looking at trying the the WM6.1 Aus3 rom, or even a cooked rom!
It will depend how much time i have to try and fix things if it goes pear shaped again! I dont want to Brick my phone!
