help a noob? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

I really want to take advantage of these cooked ROM's but despite much reading and frustration I have had no luck and am looking for anyone willing to toss a bone to a noob.
Got my "Unlocked Tilt 2" from eBay and love it but it's got the bloated ATT ROM. Tried Hard-SPL (auto and manual ) but it doesn't work. I considered that maybe it's already been Hard-SPL'd to unlock it by the previous owner and tried flashing ROM's directly but it always stalls at the status bar with 0% until timeout.
Any suggestions...please?

You need to post in the HardSPL thread

Didn't get conned, it's a great phone and a great step up from my Hermes. Pic is attached, as is the info from bootlogger screen if that helps.
Thanks steviewevie, I'll post similar on the hard-SPL board.

You have not got hard spl, when you have, the spl say .85 olinex. then you may enter the world of custom OS's.

Problem solved! My advice for anyone else with a used phone (e.g. eBay) is to do a hard-reset before doing anything else. After doing that I installed enablerapinew.cab and for the first time got the black screen. This didn't fix it completely, but I managed to get manual SSPL to work.
Sense 2.5 is really a great improvement!

how about some non-diamond roms./.

if i wanted diamond rom, i would buy a diamond.. i mean i appreciate the work but whats up with some kaiser roms for the kaiser
if you look, you will find some new non-diamond roms
L26's Diamond v9 is not a diamond rom. It's a kaiser rom that just looks like a diamond rom. You should get that. It's from an official kaiser rom rather than from a diamond rom.
Kraize
Some people want a diamond but can't get it. This is just a great way to get that diamond look on the Kaiser. The rom choice is yours.
I also suggest you go for the lite roms if you don't want the diamond appeal and such.
I haven't flashed any of the diamond roms, because of their lack of stability. I'm sticking w/ dutty's APR29 WM6.1 Hybrid. I like it A bunch of people have flashed back to this rom
Try garmins or romeo, duttys/leo`s or hyperdragon, or any other of the non diamond port -> non diamond series. There are many out there

Every rom is going to have bugs. There are fixes you just have to search. I'm pretty sure you can go to google and type in "gps problems kaiser" ..You know what I'll do it for you!!
Look at the top results... start there.
I would go in one of those threads and search within the thread for your problem, if you can't find it. Ask the question in that thread. You'll have other people with GPS problem willing to assist. Geez... It doesn't take long for the love of god. I searched, screenshot, uploaded to photobucket and made this post in less than 5 minutes. (maybe because I type fast) but still you get the jist of it.

How to pick a new ROM and Radio?

What was the thought process used to update your Tilt's ROM and Radio? The wiki is kind of overwhelming and I would like some input as to why you chose the ROM and Radio that you use. I just got a Tilt today and would appreciate any input you all could provide. Thanks.
Well play with your tilt more before you flash.
After that you will get a feel of what you want/need.
Such as, after playing with the tilt, you found out that you dont need _____. And you primarily use the tilt to ______.
Based on those "blanks". You can hunt through popular ROMS (usually has the most support) and find out which suits you best. However if you do not find one that you really want, go with a LITE ROM and install things yourself; any application you find desirable in another ROM, you can install and remove on a LITE rom, with a little searching. Its a bit more technical, and a lot of people prefer to have it already on the ROM(They tend to HARD RESET/ Flash new ROMs routinely). As another option, theres a guy(KAREEM?) in the ROM subsection of KAISER forums that customizes a ROM with the applications you want.
As for the radio, its honestly best to experiment and take notice of how well your reception is compared to the other radio.
The wiki may be overwhelming, but it has everything you need incase you go wrong.
Thanks ekw.
I'm getting to flash my first rom also. many of the more experienced users on the forum are good enought to list the rom and radio they are using. I am making a list of the most used rom/radio of the senior members and that is the first rom/radio that I will try. That is a start!
choosing a rom is preference, trial by error. all roms out there are very good and each author has their own preferences. there is no right or wrong.
i found that Hang Tuah's rom (lite) are excellent basically because of the WM6.1 dimlight issue, time taken to develope, fast, and storage space on the rom for personal programs.
its basically trying out a new car for a few days, don't like it flash to a different rom that you feel comfortable with.

Please Read my Announcement at the top of the forum. This thread is clutter.
Try them out yourself.

[Opinion] Samsung i900 Screen?

I've tried asking this on Modaco due to there being no i900 forums here but Modaco's a waste of bleedin' time!
Someone's just chucked their old Omnia i900 my way and I was going to have a play with different ROMs on it.
However, the screen's got a fault - two black lines across it

Do you guys think it's a faulty LCD or a screen connection problem?
Thanks
Woo! No replies here either
I don't have one of this phones...but, if you want help...why don't you provide us with as much information as possible.....shuch as:
Did this happened after or before flashing?
Was the phone in good working consitions before flashing?

Is it new or used?

Your quote "Modaco's a waste of bleedin' time!"
But yet your still going to get your roms from there.
modaco, xda, ppc geeks, omnia hub, and countless others are all GREAT sites. So sorry the seas didn't part at the snap of your finger.
good day.
It's a bad case of some dead pixels. Nothing you can do about it.
had this on one of my omnias, faulty screen, they're easy enough to get new ones from ebay iirc.

Smile, please... say crisis...
hmm I didn't get what you meant
it's not important.xD
how you did it? i usually got error when pushing files
come on vote
I did some research and assembled known methods into one file. It exploits psneuter as SOC does but, I hope in a better way. I managed to root 10C-E and also 11C like that in less than 20 sec. It works each time without errors. I told you that the key is the order of cmds
This one, if i may suggest to add a stroke around it's mouth

In spain, when someone is going to take us a photo, we commonly say "pa-ta-ta" in order to be smileing on the photo without the need to force-smile...
In english, people say "cheese" or "cri-sis" in order to mantain the mouth semi-open and showing the teeth...
Smileing, please...
I like the simple one, without CRISIS It looks more professional... BTW I don't care what the icon looks as long as the app works!
first one for me
It's better with a big smile
@Huexxx okaaaay lol well I think the smiling one won
would you like a wallpaper like that ?
Thanks for voting guys.
App is ready, please check my thread !
[Q]:Where is your thread???

Here we go. Here a new rooting process I've developed according to my knowledge and based on known methods. It uses the psneuter exploit in a better way, I hope. I called it BlackJack
1 clic, 20 secs, no errors. Tested on 10C-E / 11C (bouygues)
It should be P970 designed, but since "yaffs2" mount is used, it could be used for another P970-like device. These are suppositions. Tell me if I'm wrong.
USB Debugging ON / Unmounted SDC
Enjoy testing !

[Q] GPS detects satellites, doesn't lock?

After looking for similar threads and no solution worked, I ask here if anyone has any idea that could help me.
Since a couple of months, my GPS stopped working, it detects satellites but doesn't get a lock on any of them ( see picture ).

I've tried factory reset, flashed Stock 10.5.1.A.0.283, and 10.5.1.A.0.292. Last year I've changed the display with success, but something could get wrong and I'm suspecting hardware failure on the GPS or the antenna ( the C6602 phone was purchased broken for cheap to fix it myself, so service is out of the question... even if there aren't any real or good official support down here on Uruguay )

Fun thing, I have the same issue with my phone. But then again, I had to change my display, too. It was working afterwards for a while, but somehow something died about 3 months I'd say.

Which ROM are you on? And did you try this
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/GPS-Problem/td-p/336736
while you were on stock?
Cheers

OMG, thank you!!! The Xperia forums suggestion seems to have worked, as I'm still in stock, now at least is not stuck but it's locking. The Xperia post says it can take a while, but at least now it's locking in at least 3 satellites.
Thank you so much

Hello. The Xperia forums changed URLS and nothing is to be found. Any chance you remember what was the fix 5 years ago?
