ALL AT&T Tilt Owners Have Been Left Behind

The AT&T Tilt did not recievve a ROM update today. This means no accelerated graphics for us and no WM 6.1. Thank you HTC and AT&T you have all been a big help.

Old news ! Not nice to start a " new " thread for something we had not expected anyway.

Yeah, I know its old news. But even so, a large amount of people do not know this, so its still worth posting.

Do you realize what board you're on? Don't generalize, you have been left behind, not me. I've been running WM6.1 on my Tilt since the winter when it first leaked and have been running the lasted build since Monday.

Everyone here knows this and it is not worth posting as you will find out.

No, I have browsed through some threads and it seemed that a decent amount of people had not realized that only the HTC-Branded devices had recieved the update.

People who read stuff already knew for like a month that the update would probably be only for HTC branded devices, I guess you don't.
Anyways, it doesn't mean there won't be official updates for you, just that your company, whichever it is, will have to customize things first before releasing a rom, especially adding all their bloatware.
Oh, and about accelerated graphics, please, noone got them, it's not that you're a special target.

I know that there were some "fixes" but no drivers, and it has been said that ATT users will get it, just when they get ready to release it after adding all their crap.

I am here to help , what was the question ? I just heard a rant that the mods have said ( continually ) is not appropriate for these forums. If you read the official announcement from HTC when they announced the TYtN upgrade, they said that they had no plans to release an upgrade fer the Tilt in the near future. Why is this rant important to this forum?

What are you talking about denco? This is not even a rant, it is a statement. I did not mean for it to be a rant and I did not mean for people to mistake it as one. I merely meant to inform people that only the branded HTC devices got the update. It appeared as though alot of people had not realized this, or, at least enough for me to post. I can even show you some quotes if you need me too.
Denco, please look up the definition of 'rant'.

htc rom
Just talked to HTC. There is no 6.1 rom from them for the HTC phones (mine is the TYTN II) available anywhere on the globe.

I am not trying to entice the argument here, but i will add couple of things:
a) Most of the "regular" members here at xda already know that the tilt or any other branded version of the tytnII will not be getting the updates. (emphasis on regular).
b) none of the xda members really care about official updates as we have very gifted and talented chefs here that can port roms for us (and we are truly greatful for that) and seeing that the only diffrence between the TytnII and tilt is the front camera that shouldn't be a big deal.
c) drivers (which there aren't none) can also be ported. There are chefs already working on porting the diamond drivers over to tilt which runs vga.
Having said that i would like to thank you for the info ... but unfortunately its old news and no one likes repeatedly hearing old news.

Did you try hitting the download link at the bottom of this link -

? (Posted by jdmba)
Welcome to the ROM update for the AT&T Tilt. Please review the following prior to downloading and installing the latest ROM update (version 1.62.502.0) on your device.

I very nearly downloaded this one by mistake. I registered with htc but my phone S/N is not a real HTC device and was still logged in, but I managed to (mistakenly) download the file from that link without much issue.
That help?

That's still only 6.0..

Those bastards! Oh wait. I'm not worse off than I was before. Even If I didn't have XDA to feed my obsession for ROM flashing.

I don't know who you spoke with but they were wrong; I just ran the HTC RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) from the HTC e-club web site and the splash screen clearly states Windows Mobile 6.1. I have an HTC TYTN II and it works great.

LOL, nice call on NASIOC...as well as EvoM

The thing that puzzles me about this is the way the AT&T Tilt gets singled out as if it's special - in reality it's just one dozens of rebranded Kaisers around the globe, none of which have had an official update. I have a "Vodafone V1615", am I whining about where to download a Vodafone update for my Vodafone V1615? No, of course not, with the help of this forum it's been running the original HTC rom since October, and upgraded to the HTC 6.1 update a couple of days ago (before it was released by HTC in fact). So what's the problem?
The irony is the AT&T Tilt is (I believe) the only variant to have it's own section of the HTC website, and to actually have already had a rom upgrade back in February, albeit 6.0 only. Where are all the complaints about that from owners of the V1615, or the T-Mobile Vario 3, or the Orange Tytn II, or O2 XDA Stellar, or the "3" Tytn II, etc etc..?

WM 6.1 is definitely official

Well I finally managed to get into the europe htc site and register under vrious product serial numbers, to get the link to download the WM 6.1 upgrade rom - so the rumors are correct
The only thing is, I played around with the 5th digit, and replaced with 1 and 2 and got dutch and danish options, but no english ! :-(
Anyone has suggestions on what digit will enable english language download ?

theres a whole thread on tihs.

Seriously...who is doubting that this was official? HTC released it "officially" on May 23rd. There are no less that 1000 posts on this forum dealing with the official release.
In addition, it appears you are posting about how to scam a fake serial number to register a non-existent device.
Why you would want to do this I'm not sure, since the official WWE version has been posted numerous times among those 1000+ threads.

What I don't understand, is, if you have a "usa" version, why you would want to fool around with the ROM update anyway.
I guess I'm gettin' too old to fool around with bleeding edge stuff. I'll wait
until the dust settles, let at&t release one (if they ever do), or wait until XDA
gets a 100% stable release. Personally, the only issue I have with the tilt is
the slow switching from landscape to portrait mode. I don't watch videos, so that one isn't an issue.
Hat's off to you guys out there that play with these early releases.

There are threads about this in the ROM development forums and there are links in the Kaiser wiki on the Shipped ROMs page for all languages, including english. (See my sig for a quick link)
Thread closed.

Official HTC WM6.5 & Manilla upgrade?

A lot of people have been saying that HTC will be issuing upgrades to TP2 users for W6.5 and Manilla on the 6th.
Is this for certain?
If HTC are planning this, why have HTC UK issued ROM upgrades for Voda and Orange on the 28th of September? I mean, if they were planning to release WM6.5 etc. why release those updates so close to that date?

Well the updates for Orange and Vodaphone, that are the decisions of them. Not the decisions of HTC.
It's not certain that it will be there october 6th. It's the day that wm 6.5 oficially will be ditributed. So possibly it can take a while longer before an upgrade comes out. But this is not expected.
Many roms you see at the moment in this forum, are basicly under construction roms by HTC and then tweaked and improved by the chefs.
Also, the "new" roms for orange and voda have the same update as the one for HTC unbranded phones. So nothing new or spectaculair there.

official date
went and asked customer care bout the update,it will be out in 3 -4 weeks time,with a newer version of touchflo 3d
wohooooo

Hi, quarintus and thanks for the reply.
I am curious about this so I've just e-mailed HTC Europe support asking when WM6.5 will be available and if the upgrade will have the new TF3D & I received a reply to my questions from them almost instantly!
Here it is:
Thanks for your email. We are expecting the upgrade in about 3-4 weeks time, and as far as we are currently aware, it will include the new version of touchflo, although exact specs should be confirmed nearer the time Best regards, HTC Europe Support

Information of 6.5 for X1 on Facebook?

I was boring searching about X1 and 6.5, and I find this message published yesterday on facebook, about a guy that talks about a 6.5 ROM that XDA has got. I suppose that is talking about the Itje ROM. But the thing that I saw amazing is that he said he called Sony Ericsson and they him to them that it will be an update after X2 were released. Don't you understand this reading the message? I attach the link to the message to this post:
http://es-la.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=39963827922&topic=11173
Best regards

Complete bs, IMO.

there is no update. the build he is talking about is the one itje has but SE has said that a 6.5 build will never be released. the build was only for testing purposes.

i think we should wait and see, up to time there is no official info stating that the x1 will never or it will get 6.5, even tho on their blog they stated
We picked up on a couple of rumours from yesterday that an official X1 Windows Mobile 6.5 rom had surfaced on XDA developers. Just wanted to be clear that this isn’t true.
There is no official X1 6.5 rom and it’s not in the X1’s product roadmap. There are hackers out there who can do pretty much anything, but unless you’re getting it from the SE update service it isn’t an official Sony Ericsson product.
so lets wait and see if they will or will not

all companies test stuff with no intentions of releasing it. so the build was a test build or itje lied about the build (with i refuse to believe).

I think itje has a test build but I also think that this test build was made on X1 with intention of knowing If X2 will be able to run WM6.5 with the same hardware as X1 or if it is needed to bring some more powerfull hardware into X2...

that article does not say there will not be or there will be, that is a perfect structure using the best english language possible, to keep us from believing there will be or there wont be, because its too early to say if they will or wont update simply because the x2 is on the horizon, its not smart for SE to say they will update the x1 or they wont...
its called marketing, regardless what anyone says, that article is not saying that there wont or will... was the R3A updates on the roadmap? what happened to the goodies of R3A? weren't they in the roadmap for R3A? did we get them?
only time will tell if we will get the update or not, by december i should have one of the new HTC devices anyway
itje did leak stuff before, and we never got em, i believe roadmaps do change

at least 1 of the firmware update was on the roadmap, the second came when they did not sort out all the bugs in the r2 update.
u will find its in plain english. its not in the x1 roadmap and everyone knows that when the x2 is released SE will stop production of the x1 and stop updating the firmware.
I will make it easy for u to understand. if u want 6.5, SE wants u to buy an x2

I don't think the Sony blog could have been any more clear about there not being an official 6.5 release.
First they say that itje's ROM is not an official release (which most likely means that it is an internal testing ROM that was leaked
Then they say that there is no official 6.5 ROM out there.
And then they say that they have no plans to make an official 6.5 ROM.
It seems very clear to me can they change their minds? Possible, but very unlikely.

What is launch date of wm7 mango updates

No one knows yet, reported to be the fall time, so anytime in the aug-oct timeframe id guess to the carrier then who knows after that to the rest of us.

It has not yet been released. Just a general time frame of sometime this fall.

Microsoft is wanting a fall release to end users and that seems pretty plausible as they are about to release developer devices en masse which means that the update is at least already RTM (release to manufacturers) or has been RTM for a while. Meaning that the carriers have the majority of the summer for their testing. A European branch of Microsoft even said mid-October release.

That no one know it, Microsoft said it will release an upgrade in the fall
