the cab file for the t-mobile usa "T-Mobile HotSpot zone" app? I think it is this file: Signed_2005_11_24_TOHTC_wispa_PPC_Release_v1_0_1_1 .CAB that i found in a list of files in the extrom. its the one in the official rom for the mda that lets you put in your hotspot login info so you dont have to keep going to the hotspot web page. or, is there another way to only have to put this info in once somewhere on my phone? thanks in advance.

edited to reflect cab name.
You can access the \extended_rom if you use Total Commander to read the .cab and copy it do any ROM you like.
true. but i do not have the tmobile rom installed anymore. i am using yours =P
if i have dled the official tmobile rom is there a way i can access the files from my pc without flashing my phone? like a rom explorer? i will check on that. this is what happens when i get up at 3am.....brain stops working after hour 14.

well after using the typhoon extractor, i am still at a loss. cant seem to find that file in there. amazing how this question has now turned into a development quest. hrmmm. i dont know my next step. any pointers?
wergeld
If you really need it, why not flash the TMobile ROM, copy the .cab to the storage card and putting back WM5SE?
because that would be....simple ha!
yea, i might have to do it.
thought i could do it from the .nbf file but i couldnt. alas...
UPDATE
pulled out the cab file from the latest release. it was a different name. weird. but here we go. if anyone else wants that cab let me know.

and i am golden. after almost ****ting myself when i had a power failure (ahh florida) during a rom flashing. got to bootloader okay so just re-flashed mun-ruu and all good. i have the cab file for the hotspot login if anyone would like. also, i might add, a clean pair of undies after the almost-brick. was funny because my first thought was "crap now i have to buy the Kaiser!"

udpate: well, the hotspot app keeps saying it cant find a t-mobile hotspot even when i am 4 feet from one and it shows full bars on reception and i am browsing the intarwebs. alas, it was not meant to be.
In VPG's 8525 ROMs he included a folder in Programs to Enable and Disable the Proxy (so that one could easily use WiFi instead of GPRS).
I found cabs for restore hidden proxy and remove hidden proxy, thinking those were the same. However after installing the cabs, I can't find them anywhere on my Tilt.
Does anyone know how to make them visible or where they might have gone to or especially how to create a new folder in programs to install them to
Proxy Cab
I am not sure about it working for the Tilt and am actually looking for the cab for proxy settings for my 8525. Do you think you could attach them for me? Or even better attach the link where you found it. Thanks.
I'm bringing this back to life because I've got the same problem.
I wiped all the ATT crap off of my Tilt. Then it seemed that the proxy was still enabled, so I downloaded the cabs here for remove/restore hidden proxy. The problem is, after I installed the cabs, I can't find where to launch the programs from.
Any help?
Installing the enable Cab file enables the hidden proxy.
Installing the disable Cab file disables the hidden proxy.
There is no program installed.
haha, I feel retarded for asking that... I just opened the cab and looked in the XML and realized that the cabs are just registry changes.
Thanks for the reply tho!
Okay, dumb question. I have both enable proxy, and disable proxy in my Windows directory. Is there a way I can add these to HTC Home, so I will have a quick easy way to use them? I also have SPB Pocket Plus, is there a way to add it there?
Thanks!
Hi, where can i get this for my wizard? thanks!
Explain.
Hi I have AT&T Tilt.
I accidentaly activated "Disable Proxy" CAB, and it said it was installed succesfully.
Can anyone explain for what is used Disable and Restore Proxy?
What is its function in my phone and what does that have to do with Tom Tom?

Has nothing to do with Tomtom. If you enable the proxy, you shouldn't be on wifi but rather ATT's network. The proxy is used to access some stuff off the ATT network, not wifi.
I just upgraded the ROM and after upgrade, I notice that the few websites (www.wf.com and beta.m.yahoo.com ) which previously used to work with 1.57.502.2 ROM, does not work anymore. When I try the first one, I get "Browser not Supported" and when I try the website I get "HTC Pilgrim not supported". Anybody else has this problem? Any clues? This problem I reported with these 2 websites occurs with both IE and Opera Mobile browsers. First I thought it was limited to IE, but verified Opera as well which has same problem. So, I am sure it has to do with this new ROM upgrade which changed some of the registry settings or device identifier. Anybody any clues ?
There are several ways to fix this problem, the easiest being,
use KaiserTweak that is stickied at the top of this forum, and change PIE User Agent CustomBase to HTC-8900(AT&T Tilt).
Or you can use a registry editor to do the same thing.
I prefer KaiserTweak, it's easier and lots of stuff you can tweak.
Alemaker
KaiserTweak worked for me. For some reason the 1.62 ROM I downloaded had defaulted to the stock TyTn II PIE Agent. I switched it to HTC-8900, soft reset, and bammo, back in business. From what i remember, the old rom was defaulted to HTC-8900 when i opened KaiserTweak the first time.
This problem still continues with Opera Mobile
Great, Thanks!! KaiserTweak help me fix the problem with IE.
But it still same issues visiting these websites from Opera Mobile, any other magic here?
try un-installing and re-installing Opera, and make sure to get rid of all it's folders on your phone before re-installing.
Still not working
I uninstalled Opera, then made sure that I removed all the folders/files it had created, then did a soft reset and then re-installed opera, still no luck. Continue to have issues with these 2 websites. Any other ideas ?
i just recently updated to the 1.62.xxxx rom... i dont have problems with opera though but i got these issues on my fone.. 1st off, when i take a picture, i cannot load the file.. i cant see what i took. it gives me an error saying that the file cannot be opened(this happens when the default storage is the storage card.) also, when i save something to the storage card, i get another error that says, a device attached to the system is not functioning. i already tried doing a hard reset and i still get errors... any clues??? thanks! im thnking of going bck to the old ATT rom... (sorry for any typos.. im using my phone to write this reply... )
i know this might be a stupid question for everyone that knows what their doing but i do have a registry editor but i cant find the place to change the pie agent.....where can i go to change that?
thanks in advance for your help
why not just use kaisertweak or search for the reg key, although i bet its easier to use kaisertweak
im really a noob so i dont know anything about kaiser tweaks but i have task manager that has reg edit on it...so id rather use that then just getting a new program. i hope someone can help me find that location to switch the user agent. but just wondering does changing it really make a major difference???
No HSDPA
With the previous ROM I was able to take advantage of the increased speed of "H" while on the internet after using the Kaiser Tweak. With the new 1.62 ROM my "H" seems to have dissapeared and I only see the 3G even after running the Kaiser Tweak again. Anyone else having this issue? Did our friends AT&T get greedy and lock us out of the high speed?

I do not believe it will work with Opera. Opera routes you through a proxy which reformats content for your device. The websites my not recognize this or the device ID may get screwed up. I was trying to visit some music website that only allows visitors from the US, but was told I could not access bc I was browsing from outside the US - bc the Opera server is not located in the US.
Does the tilt support OBEX file transfer and push service for bluetooth? I know about the reg setting (..Microsoft/Obex/IsEnabled to 1) but it doesnt seem to be working. I also found a cab in one of the other forums (i cant find a link right now to show) and it seemed to help a little but i still get a lot of errors when i try to connect using Bluezard, saying things like There was an error in the OBEX service and that it cant find the OBEX Push service.
Is there a fix or is it just something i did to screw myself over?
Alright, screw it, ill just not mess with bluetooth as its obvious no one has ever had this problem...
Yes,
The Tilt does support OBEX on an official ROM, used it quite extensively. However, can't seem to find a OBEX package to cook a ROM cuz there's lots of variables to it.
Im using the standard tilt rom but i still have not been able to get bluetooth to really work. I found i thread with my same problem, but no real answer.
I can receive bluetooth files fine, but i cant send them. If i select beam it will just pop up, ill click the name, "Pending..." > "Sending 1/1" > "Failed".
before its suggested. I have Receive all incoming beams selected.
I have enable file share (Bluetooth FTP tab) selected.
I have my devise visable and discoverable.
i have changed the registry of Obex "IsEnabled" to "1"
also i think i MAY have found the possible culprit. in one of the bluetooth fix cabs i have downloaded. it modifies part of the registry to this:
Under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Obex\Services\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
It changes "Server" to the value "obexinbx.dll", but that file is not in my windows folder. is there a place i could get that DLL? (this is not the same as obexfile.dll right? because i have that...).
you can just use the advanced configuration cab and you can enable OBEX

Essential processes for AT&T Tilt Users after each rom flash
I know this has been mentioned thousands of times throughout this forum yet n00bs often need assistance fixing their hardware keyboards, email, HTC weather, quick gps, and so on after they flash a new rom for the first time.
While hanging out in Bansville for a couple of days I realized I have been answering the same questions continuously. This is a mini text tutorial, which offers simple fixes for imperative AT&T settings.
So you installed a version of hardspl, flashed a new rom, and performed a hard reset. What next? Well primarily in all probability, you want to make sure the clock settings are in am and pm format and the date is set to m/d/y. To change your clock settings follow this navigation
Start>settings>system>regional settings>time tab>time style drop down set to h:mm:ss tt
To change your date setting:
Start>settings>system>regional setting>date tab> select the date style of your choosing and select ok.
Next, I like to restore my files such as my appointments, contacts, text messages, etc. I personally prefer to use PimBackup. Below is a .zip file for PPCPimBackup. It is an uncomplicated program to use and a lecture is unnecessary to navigate throughout this application, as it is straightforward.
After I restore my files, it is time to inaugurate the Tilt keyboard fix, which repairs your slide-out QWERTY keys to be mapped correctly. For example, without this fix Fn+W will appear as ! opposed to @. Below is the cab file you need to install to remap the keys appropriately. Following the installation of this cab file, perform a soft reset.
The next thing I usually do is correct my connection settings. First, I install ATT_Settings.cab, which you can find below. Then I navigate to the following:
Start>settings>connections>connections>select the advanced tab>select networks>Change both drop downs to Media Net> select edit on both drop downs>proxy settings tab>uncheck everything for both media nets that you changed>then hit ok or x when you are finished.
At this time, I set up my email. However, remember NOT to save your password, you will do this in the following step. If you are using HTC HOME, most likely you are, select the little envelope and create a new account. You can find your email settings by using google if you are using pop3 or whatever.
Next, after I set up my email without saving the password, I install removehiddenproxy.cab, which you can find below. This cab file is important as it allows your pop3 email account’s password to save without adding extra characters, allows for your quickgps to function properly each time, and it also allows you to use HTC Home Weather without getting a connection failure. So install this cab then go back to the email you just set up, edit the account setup, enter your password, and save it. Now, go back to your today screen and tap your weather tab. Now tap Select City and select your city (*Note there are a few patches available to select your town if you do not live in a big city). Anyhow, notice the menu button where your right softkey is, select menu and turn your temperature scale to Fahrenheit and select done.
I suggest setting up your WiFi at this time too.
Well this is my mini tutorial for a basic setup on your AT&T Tilt after you flash a new rom.
Have Fun Flashing and Take Care.
*Special thanks to the creators of these cab files and JimmyMcgee for teaching me the basics.
Am I missing something too?
Is there something to do regarding getting a reasonable GPS fix after flashing newer 6.1 roms or is it a known problem. I keep flashing down to older 6.0 roms with 1.27.14.09 radio because of the faster GPS fix. I would love to use the newer roms but GPS fix time is a deal breaker for me. To save you some time I use SPL 3.28 with 6.0 roms and 3.56 with 6.1 roms. I bounce between Q-mobile and RomEos roms now that we lost dutty. Ive tried all the newer radios and personally they all stink for GPS. Sorry about your brief ban and welcome back, I need your wisdom
*cough* sticky
AWESOME. I keep saying I need to: Start fresh, get NetCF 3.5, get a light rom. But it all seems so complicated to go from current configuration to start over completely, but this will help a lot! Thanks! Now to find the time and the 'right' ROM.
Thanks very much for the reminders, and for the CABs. I flashed my first 6.1 ROM last night, and forgot all about the hidden proxy!
I agree that this really needs to be a sticky...
This is a good tutorial, but here is a good side note to add.
By removing the hidden proxy (which ya do with the removehiddenproxy cab), Tilt users won't be able to get to media net (http://device.home or http://home) or cingular video as the hidden proxy is needed for those.
Then they should just use the Restore Proxy, and that will allow MEdiaNet.
Proxy Manager has both in it.

Did you try 1.71.09.01 ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410953
Been having the same issue and finally I think got a break. Tried about 10 SR's and the lock times are steady inside the house.
BTW using DK2
does windows mobile have a localhost file like windows? would remapping those to their needed servers allow the bypassing of the proxy?

Nice tutorial
I downloaded your PPCPimBackup zip file but when I attempted to open it I received the following prompt: "The central directory was not located . . ." etc.
Thanks for the post BTW. Very helpful and informative.

you were unable to open the zip file? I'll check it out and reupload it if necessary.
edit: works ok here my friend. Unzip the file to your desktop and move it to your storage card then run the program hopefully it works for you.

I deserved the brief ban.
Anyhow, I noticed that when running 6.1 roms with the Tilt you need an application such as HTC GPS Tool or GPS Test, to open your internal gps, prior to opening your GPS Software.
These are the steps I use to utilize a GPS Fix after each soft reset:
1) download latest updates for quickgps
2) Open GPS Tool>com 4>baud 4800>Hot Start>Then click Open and wait like 30 seconds
3) Open TT7
*If you fail to get a fix after following these steps close all programs and repeat. Eventually you should be getting fixes within seconds.
I've attached GPS Tool for you, good luck.
What exactly does the remove hidden proxy cab do on AT&T Tilts? If you go into your connection settings and uncheck the proxy server- is that the same thing or something different than the cab file does?
Hey Red,
I attached an ATT settings cab which does not enable the proxy by default, and also enableds creation mode in MMS settings. I thought it might be helpful for your thread here. Also, it may seem too advanced for beginners, but i have a thread started here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418468
This has a step by step guide to how to create an xml file using Schap's Advanced Config 3.0, which can be used to provision all of your advanced config preferences during your UC setup. This tool has really made it very easy to do reduce the amount of work that goes into flashing.
I also attached a cab for total commander, a free, more full featured file explorer; gps test, another gps tool; and advanced config 3.0. Hope it helps.
Thanks... this is a great thread!!!

Why would anyone ever want the proxy checked? Does it do something for you to have it checked?

It removes a HIDDEN proxy, one that you can't remove without a cab. Without it enabled you can't connect to medianet home, and some other things. Most users like to disable it for a myriad of reasons, one of which is that it causes you to be unable to browse while connected to your laptop.
The box that you check in connections is a separate issue, and i think that is actually just old settings, i'm not sure, since even on the AT&T website it tells you no not to have that checked.

Awesome. So, if I run the cab and remove the hidden proxy- can I then tether my laptop (connect to the net using the Tilt's data)- without getting caught by AT&T? Or is there more to tethering without getting caught?
