Just got a new Titl2 (Rhodium) and am dying to try some new ROMS. I had an 8525 (Hermes) and probably burned 20-30 ROMs before finding the one I've been using for the past several months. But I hesitate to blow away the factory ROM, since I can't seem to find the original ROM posted anywhere. AT&T and HTC don't seem to offer it and I can't find any extracts.
Can anyone point me to a source for this OEM ROM so I can flash it back if I need to send the phone in for warranty service?
Thanks much!
This is a good site with a reconstructed rom for warranty purposes and tons of info. tilt2.blownfuze.org/#warranty

Hi, i've been looking and reading now for a couple days looking at comments and stuff on those with the newer 8125 G4 chipsets. I can't find a dedicated thread on how to switch it to another rom. I would like to use summiters test2 rom. I had this installed on another 8125 which i returned a couple days ago as the screen had a blimish on it. Too bad as I did downgrade and do everything following the guidelines for it and it worked great. I've seen threads pointing to other threads on the G4's but it seems like people get off topic or don't post what worked and what didn't work. Anyway, if i'm just missing it would someone kindly point me to the right thread or maybe use this thread to post the way it's done currently. I've read you can't go below the 2.xx but what rom's can you use? The main reason I want to put another rom on is the constant locking up. When I had summiters on the other unit it ran perfectly. I have the 2.25.0001 IPL/SPL when it first boots up so i know that's the G4. Thanks for reading......

From what people have said, there's a query as to whether or not the CID/SIM unlock on a G4 chipset can be done. That's your major problem.
What I can say for certain, is that if anyone is developing a G4 solution, that would be machinagod. Search for his posts... and see if a tool LokiwizMSL0.3a will do the trick for you. To do this, search for all posts by machinagod, and you'll find a thread on lokiwizMSL which apparently states it works for 2.xx spl's.
BTW, don't forget to enablerapi.cap =) don't say i didn't warn you.
thanks....I looked up machinagod's stuff the other day when looking thru the forums....I guess until I see someone's reply that says thier 8125 with the 2.25.0001 has been changed to ?? rom i'll wait. I get that you can sim unlock the unit if you have another sim to use but after that there is some confusion as to what to do. It would be nice if someone knows exactly what steps to take and all. What options are avail for this G4 unit when you sim unlock it and even pay to cid unlock it if that is necessary. I would just like to use a different rom than Cingulars 2.25 as my unit keeps locking up....mostly after a call but also when browsing on the net. It has locked up using IE and Opera. I called Cingular this morning and the guy said they are upgrading the towers here in So. Florida and people have been complaining about dropped calls and thier phones locking up. Mine though locks even when not on a call...I asked him if they had any "older" new phones but he said he wasn't sure so guess i'll just keep plugging along and reading and hope to find a thread explaining the solution. Thanks again!

What we're all not sure of is the address differences between the G3 and G4 chipsets.
One thread, which I cannot recall right now, did detail a way to go from a G4 stock rom to a summiter rom, but I am not sure where it is here, nor what to search for amongst the thousands of threads. My suggestion might be to search for anything that has like '.0001' or 'g4 spl' in it. That might narrow your fields down. Also setting the search to things such as 'posts' instead of threads, that will help. Narrowing the field even further, you can specify the wizard to forum threads, or the wizard upgrading forum threads. I'd stick to the upgrading threads for g4 issues, as for unlocks and such, that machinagod usually posts that in the general wizard forum.
thanks man for the reply....I downloaded the rom from HTC just to reflash and see if maybe it might help with the locking problem somewhat...um, well, it got to 95% complete and an error popped up saying something about the nb file was bad....so, it was looped i guess in the boot screen....turned it off and on only to have that screen come up...tried to reconnect, which it did and started to reflash and again it stopped at 95% after using a new downloaded rom...the same 2.25 from HTC that is...oh well, took it back to the store and got a new one...still has the .0001 on it so will do some more searching and reading and will wait for a viable fix...not gonna be in a hurry if it runs without locking up....call sounds seem to be better i've noticed but that could just be wishful thinking...oh well...thanks again!

I have got a replacement Cingualr 8125 just the other day with the following info:
ROM Version:2.25.11.1 WWE
Radio Version:02.25.11
ExtROM Version:2.25.11.102
and the sim card is locked and is G3
I've been searching around and iv seen all these ROMs out there but im not sure what does what and what will work with my phone. So can someone please make a list of current ROMs that will work with my phone? And if possible, can you provide a description of any features and included programs.
Thanks very much ahead of time
Wow what a great idea!
Sounds like a great project for someone who wants this information. Please be so kind as to post it once you've finished.

I also got a replacement last month and it had that same version rom that you listed.
you know I was looking for just that right now
funny thing thats how i found this thread, if I had one wish for cristmas is would be a list of all 8125 compatable roms, and maybe even a small description of what they ACTUALLY do. Come on Santa Nerd, oh and give my best the the digi-missus.
Hey fellas, im glad i found this site, looks like alot of good info for a beginner. This will be my first phone that i will be attempting to tweak, but i had a few basic questions that warranted some advice:
if this was your first high end phone (only had a treo 650/680 prior) would you try and load a different rom and all the fixings, or just deal with a hard reset on the AT&T rom and try and fix what you could with cab files.
does a new cooked rom void any warrenty? or could it be reversed if i chose to distribute this phone to one of my employees when i upgraded in the future.
what was the first thing yall did to your tilt when you got it to instantly make it a better device?
thanks in advance guys.

I will make a couple of suggestions. Read A LOT before asking questons and make use of the search funtion. The other is if your new to Windows Mobile, many users that have been drinking the Palm koolaid have a hard time migrating to WM. Be patient, they are two very different OS's.
To flash a non at&t rom will require unlocking, that alone will void a warranty.
i thought i read somewhere else that AT&T were condoning the unlocking of these phones, since they sold the unlocked versions at a different price, but that could have been hear/see.
Well my first PDA was a
Compaq Aero 2150
I then went onto the smart phone market (years later lol) with
Siemens SX66 (HTC Blue Angel)
iPaq 6515a
iPaq 6945
and now
HTC Kaiser / AT&T Tilt
Flashing a NON AT&T ROM does not require unlocking the phone. You can flash whatever ROM you want (provided it's for the Kaiser). I'd make sure that you install Olipro SPL though. Prevents bricking the phone.
well if i want to flash to a different ROM, like the HTC one, is there a way i can revert back to the original at&t ROM if i had to send it back for any reason? i just dont want to have to eat the cost of this thing, it'd be my company doing the eating. which my budget wouldnt enjoy.
oh wait i think i read what you said wrong, what i have on it now IS a AT&T ROM, so it WOULD have to be unlocked first...right?
by the way i absolutely hate this theme, i like the big clock on the HTC ROM. i finally getting used to WM6 though. just hate the look of it.
Long story short... i had a tilt, accidentally fell in a pool while intoxicated and some how got one back through warranty (if you wanna know more just ask me, i can share the story on how exactly i got the phone through warranty even with the moisture sticker being pink, i think i got lucky) anyways... so i got my tilt back and was gonna sell it because i purchased a nokia e90, but my love for the tilt made me want to change my mind.
i did have a chance to read about 2 hours worth on the new wm6.1 and new SPLs... having to be specific to roms to maximize performance....but i want to make sure i dont have a brick in my hands after taking such steps.
My situation:
At&t customer
At&t tilt(refurbished of course)
Basically just popped in the battery and got my contacts in there.
I want to be able to use cooked roms, most likely wm 6.1 but i wouldnt mind having the ability to use the older version roms as well. I dont know if this is possibly without having to change SPLs... is it?
Having said this is a AT&T phone, i would like to unlock it, sim unlocked good? if so, should i do this first because i believe i can only do it on wm6.0... what spl do i need to have?
Then i want to use cooked roms, but not to the extent where i will be flashing every week... i might flash 3-5 roms and then decide to keep the one i like best and not flash another for atleast a month or so.... which method would be the best for me? ( i do believe in donations, and will provide to creator of rom that i will use on a daily basis).
I am also ready to receive negative feedback from administrators if this thread is something i shouldnt be posting, and i want to say i am sorry if this is the case, if not, i would like to be lead to the direction of wiki and readmes on how i can go about doing what i need to do.
Thanks in advance.
Firstly, this has no business in "ROM DEVELOPMENT".
All of your questions can be answered in the wiki or the first couple of posts in this thread.
As for a rom, tastes vary, so you'll need to play around & find what you are comfortable with. Flashing regularly is not a problem if you get familiar with Sashimi, Tierman Auto Install & UC as explained by Sleuth.
Thanks, one question, before i flash a wm6.1 rom, should i have the new hardspl ? is that universal to all wm6.1 roms?
No more questions in this thread.
Sorry friend, you don't get another question. As was already explained you are in bad form in the forum.
Please have some respect for the other members of the forum, read the links in my signature and then read the forum. Your answers are here, you just need to find them.
hi there people, dont hate me and apologies if this question either seems ignorant or whether its been answered before.
so here goes...
ive got a branded vodafone tp2, its sim unlocked so im using a Tmob UK sim inside and loving every minute, awesome fone.
now i can see there's a buzz about getting wm6.5 official ROM onto my device so im wondering a few things.
I went to the HTC web site and tried to download the official ROM but it mentioned it wasnt suitable for my device, ill put that down to it being branded/raped by Voda..?
what im wondering also is, if i could get the official unbranded wm6.5 ROM onto my unit (my mate has just upgraded his from HTC as it was unbranded at POS so will try n get him to upload onto my unit)would it work?
ill have to admit ive been a fan sice getting my first HTC fone (the Universal) years ago but have now realised that if u want a decent experience to next time go unbranded.
do you guys think ill have to wait for Vodas bastard son of a thousand maniacs ROM (Voda wm6.5) to be up on their site before i can have winmo 6.5 on my device and has anyone seen if its that God horrible red n white which i just cant stand.
im using manila 2.1 atm yto cover it up and have been pleased how it got rid of the Voda rubbish.
again apologies if ive asked some thing answered and thanks in advance for any help.
i am a toatl noob to "flashing" etc so any advice would be awesome.
id also like to give shouts out to all developers for keeping us all up to date and connected.
you guys are the unsung heros of win mo so please keep up the good work as im sure we all would agree, its greatly appreciated
with thanks graph1uk
Mate...you should do some reading at those sticky threads...
No one will answer those questions.
if u cant wait ur official 6.5 rom come out. Just do the hardspl and flash using 6.5 europe official rom. do more reading please. thanks.
I have a Vodafone TP2 too, and don't have any vodafone software on it anymore. All you need to do is flash with HSPL, then you can install any ROM you like from this forum, but seriously read the stickies. This one specifically:

Like others are saying, you just need to HSPL your phone and flash the hell outta it After the flash, you will have your new 6.5 ROM, without voda crap Good luck!
Ok.. If you are new to the flashing world... you must first understand a few things. A bit of reading around would definitely help you understand better.
- First you would have to Hard SPL your device. You can find our how to do that from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131. At the end of the 1st post you would have to download this file: Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL.zip
Once you do that, you are all set for the world of fantasy... Screw the official release of WM 6.5 release.. you have better than official release here at XDA. You can try the latest WM 6.5 and 6.5.1 ROMs cooked with Mannila Sense 2.1 and 2.5
So, Flash away dude... and Good luck.
The voda update is here : http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=384&e=0
As stated before, please use the stickies and the wiki for reference before starting a new thread.
All the answers are there somewhere .
Thanks
