I hope this is in the right place... I recently purchased an unlocked Tilt on ebay. im pretty sure it has a custom rom loaded on it, but I don't know which one. the issue im having is that there are some letters on the keyboard that are mixed up. is there a cab file to fix this?? and if not, is it dangerous to load another rom on top of the already custom rom I have?? thanks.
please noob...search for the keyboard fix...and please read about rom flashing before doing anything or else it WILL be dangerous..but if u do it correctly then theres no danger at all

Go into Your settings and select system and device information this should tell you what rom you have. As above , roms are not some thing you put a couple of on a storage card and switch back and forth. Keyboard .cab fix is easy to find and install. Stick with the rom you have, obviously someone thought it was good enough, until you learn more on flashing and what is right for you.
no offense, but I did do a search, and it came up with over 1000 posts. I posted cause I was hoping somebody would point me in the right direction, not critisize me for not searching. and I know roms are dangerous, what im asking is not whether roms are dangerous, rather is it dangerous to load one rom on top of another unknown rom. instead of critisizing next time, y don't you help someone first.

Point you in the right direction eh? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=xda+Tilt+Keyboard+Fix
First Result.
Secondly, Repect Our jerky senior members. Being an jerk is going to get you no help and even worse could get you flamed.
Third, You have to Load a ROM over another ROM. So If you know what you are doing it shouldn't be so bad.

i did help u did i not, i told u about the keyboard fix, if u got over 1000 posts, maybe your search terms are wrong, maybe narrow your search, i'm not critizing u for not search, cuz u may have, i'm just trying to help to give u terms such as keyboard fix so that u will know how to narrow your search in case u have problems in the future.
in the case of your roms, its not dangerous to load one rom on top of another because u will hardspl and once u finish flashing u will do it hard reset which will clear off anything that was left behind in the previous rom so there is no danger at all, well unless if u dont hard reset.
hope this is clear for ya

can anyone plz help me out on putting a better rom for my T-Mobile Wing i am tired of the same thing everyday ad i want to make it better so if anyone can plz help me through Email that would be easiest.

Thanks
thake a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372236
Thnx
Thanks But still didnt make much sense.
Just choose which Rom you're most interested in. I reccommend ITJE or ASERG's work.. their roms are fast and very stable.
Download the rom and follow the instructions, it's very simple and most people are very afraid of bricking their phone ... so just make sure you have the STOCK RUU http://www.mediafire.com/?2nq9iu0a2nt on hand and you'll be fine.
The thread that kidnamedAlbert linked to is a way for you to make your own ROM the simple way.

totally agree. im a wizard owner and the herald sub-forums suck. none of the information is consolidated very well if at all. and some of the info is old and then updated later in the thread instead of updating the first post. this sub-forum needs some help. ive been reading for 4hrs today, and read a bunch a couple weeks ago and am still unsure of things. there just is no definitive guide that goes over ALL the things you need to know and understand and then the things you may encounter and what to do if you do.

I've been using Open Touch roms since my first flash without a problem. Its very fast and reliable and my wing runs like it should. The T-mobile rom sucked and really frustrated me the first couple of weeks I had it. Another good thing with Open Touch is that you dont have to HardSPL your phone. See below. I'm pretty sure you'll find it easy enough if you read the first page of posts. Thats my recommendation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377939
hey guys, i unlocked my tilt 2 days ago. since then, i have only been able to place 1 outgoing call, and then i have to restart the phone. this is starting to get very annoying. there is no ringer, no volume, nothing.
Before you tell me to reflash my radio, i did. like 20 times. nothing
Whoever wrote that unlocking program messed up BIG time.....
Halp!
lol. rotfl..haha..sorry man.. just read read read that's all I can say.
why waste your energy typing? if you dont have anything worthwile to suggest, then GTFO
Change your Radio. The radio included in your new ROM does not the right one. do i search and find a compatible radio and it will work

thx capitan obvious!!! did you read my original post? i tried EVERY radio!!
You're not very polite
Besides, the unlocker worked perfectly for many many many people here, so i would not say that Olipro messed around here.but anyways...
did you reflash the same Radio Version all the time or did you try different ones?? I had Versions with which the same problem occured, no voice, no ringer, no sounds. 1.64.08.21 worked for me

Its really funny how you are the only individual that flashing the radio didn't help. And before you go talking about OLI, jocky and the likes that made the program so you could get rid of the bloat and flash works of art that this forum provides, I'd look inward and see if you might have done something wrong.
You know what, Im gonna make it real easy. If you have a 6.1 rom then you need a 6.1 radio. Same goes for 6.0. However some cooked roms are at$t specific and you have to have a at$t radio. A little more information such as the radio you are using and the rom would be really helpful.
haha simultanuous post and NO, your original post does NOT tell WHICH Radio Versions you tried...

Ok, why did you try to change radios? That rom comes with 1.64.08.21. Did you HR at the "Tap here to align" screen prior to setting up all your apps? Have you HR since this happened to see if it fixed it?

If ur pissed off at him , why are u impolite to me?
Listen and listen good...
YOU RADIO IS INCOMPATIBLE (means not compatible; not the right one).
Find a Compatible Radio that matches your dam ROM (whatever the f that is) READ READ and READ again..and find it.
There are experts and know 30000% more than u on this site..respect their help or dont post anymore.
Worst case scenario...revert back to your old ROM that work and leave us in peace
@ p1tater-and why would i want to delete all my data?

The unlockers have been used successfully time and time again. However, responsibility for it's results lie within your ability to accept failure and to follow through all the steps properly.
Continuing to lay blame on others is quickly making you lose the people trying to help you.

Holy Hell. The rom you pointed to came with a radio, that I know for a fact works. Why did you try to change radios? If it didnt work straight out of the box then you have a bad flash and the radio section is bad.
Edit:
I did feel bad for you and decided to come back and help but you wont listen so have fun playing with the nice new shiny brick you call a phone. You could get better reception from 2 cups and a string before I come back to help. I'm done.

1. no idea what my original ROM was, now im running "CE OS 5.219202 (build 19202 dutty's) v6.1
2. i used the olipro one
3. it said "phone unlocked" so im guessing it worked.
im not sure if i stated this before, i was running dutty's ROM for 2 weeks, and just recently (sunday) unlocked it.
for all those telling me to read the stickies, there is only one relevant to my situation, and it tells you to try a different radio. i did that. many times.
if i cant fix it, im selling this POS and getting an iphone
When i make a ROM following all the step, including watching the videos, and reading the readme, when i get to the final step and flash the rom, it doesnt boot, just gets stuck at the first splash screen with the R D etc..anything obvious i might be doing wrong?
As in like cook a ROM? If so, wrong section to post this thread in.

There can be thousand causes. But I think this question should be in rom development or in other more appropriate thread. There will be a higher chance that some cheff will give u some advice. Unfortunately my mom didnt learn me how to cook so I am no help for u.
Did you make sure you have every little driver, dll, etc.. It is so hard to tell what the problem is. Like Mikulec said, it could be a thousand causes and it could take forever to find the cause. Should ask a pro chef like dutty or l26 and they may be able to help you.
I am browsing this forum all morning, now is 3 P.M.

Excuse me, am I blind. How much WM6.5 Roms are you seen here in this Xperia Tread. Do you have a X1 ?
Sounds like someone who does not apply hardSPL to his X1 before trying to flash a cooked rom...

Come on guys, a new user ....... let's try to give him a hand:
1. READ the fist xperia thread.
2. READ the second xperia thread.
3. etc etc
Basicaly: install hard spl (hard spl is the pretection against flashing these roms)
Find a rom that you like (most of them have few screenshots in the thread) and flash.
Enjoy. Or flash the next one.
Simple i guess ........ but remember ..... READ the threads. Will give you all the ideas you need.
G.
Wheal I have read them... but don't get it really, and yes, I have X1 for a long time... Since it is out there and wanted to update it. I tried to install from that guy as I said but it doesn't go...
I know You probably don't wanna spend your time helping me "noob" but please, how can I do it? I read everything but there is just so many things to do that I get lost... If any possibility that someono wants to help me out and put on my X1 I would like that very much.
The post just above yours details the procedure, and if you look at the stickies, the apps you need are there.
1) Install HardSPL
2) Flash ROM
3) Steal underpants
4) ???
5) Profit!

Ok, I'm sorry that it seems this way, but I really have read lots of things, I'm not stupid or lazy, I really read loads of posts but didn't find this one.
Ok, later I'll try. So basically what I need to do is run 1st this "X1_HardSPL_v1.zip" content and than after that is finished I have to run for example "WM65_ROM_X1i_23060_SB12_Sonblack" rom and that is it.
I'm asking so much questions so that I don't do harm to my device.
Thanx.
If you don`t understand the post from Hard-SPL and flashing roms, plz. let it be. You crash your famous X1. Stand by your WM6 original SE X1 Rom.

Yes you're right. You have to install the hard-spl first and after that you can flash an custom rom to your phone.
