Ive been a loving owner of a Tilt for quite a few months now, and have modded, changed, and added to it as much as i can. Recently ive been having a few troubles with the phone keeping a connection, so i figured i would backup things, and do a hard reset to get back to square one.
But i started looking and saw sakajati's new Hyperdragon ROM, and am now seriously tempted to flash this rom instead of just sticking with the WM 6.1 stock AT&T rom i have now. So far ive got everything i apparently need downloaded, and have read and re read the directions, faqs, and every guide on doing it to death.
My problem is i can't see to go through with the first step, i am just so worried about breaking my phone. I don't have the money to get a new one, and this one wasn't exactly cheap since i bought it out of contract. Am i just being overly paranoid?
Well, Its been said that its hard to brick your phone, but if you arent too confident you should have a techy friend handle it for you
Flashing in itself is pretty simple and easy to figure out from the wikis. Just be sure to follow all of the directions to the T. Also, to change roms, you have to use Jump-SPL to flash the Hard-SPL. Once thats on your phone it will be nearly impossible to "Brick"
haha i am the techie of all my friends. I know about using jump-spl to put on a hard-spl. Ive already got the jump-spl program on my phone, i keep getting nervous when i go to run it.
Guess i just wanted someone else to slap me in the face more or less and tell me its ok to do, even with all ive already read.
Well, i took the plunge. Already got HardSPL v3.56 on my phone, and am already more then half way through flashing the new rom. Im still rather nervous, but all is going well so far, so my hopes are high. i really can't wait to see my phone with this new rom, even if i gotta go through and get all the at&t connection settings done. Thankfully theres cabs for that
Thanks for the fast reply by the way
Well it went well I am so far fairly happy with the new rom. Only problem im having now is for some reason my phone wont get a data connection going. I have tried using the rr att settings cab, using the connection wizard, entering in the settings myself, everything i can think of. I hope that doesn't kill this rom for me.
make sure proxy is disabled
That did partially work Thanks for the advice though. Ive now moved on to try another rom. Now that i know how to do it its gettings addictive to try more of em. Onto duttys right now Already tried the new offical AT&T rom and Garmins. Hoping to find that perfect one i like the most
Way its going though i might be cooking my own since i can't find one just perfect for me.
would you mind to upload the att settings .cab mine are messed up and there site to send it is under going maintenance
DO IT! it was nervewracking at first for me (i voided my warrranty with all this good stuff just 2 hours after i got the phone xD)
i cant even tell you how many different roms i have flashed, only problems i have ever had were because of the radio, i can see the paranoia but just do it, and if you mess anything up you can always revert to the stock rom, which you can find on xda somewhere
the way i look at it is the tilt is a little old now, i got mine last december, so if i break it ill get another phone, which i am already saving up for now anyways
Just got this OTA update today, was around 686Kb i think.
Anyone else got it, spotted any changes?
I had expected one recently after reading about the "one-click root" app and how a patch was already being worked on.
Do we think it was just that?
The "More Info" of the update mentioned something about including a number of small changes, dependant on location, but nothing about security patches.
It's very cold here in the "I Haven't Rooted" section.
I only did it 2 days ago - its not toooo late to join the dark side, perhaps this is a 1 click fix and the final update promised
Yea most people here have root. U should root. Its the only way ur g1 can reach its full potential. Srry for the spelling lol
Other than being able to make the notification bar black instead of white (which I really would like), there really isn't much I'd bother rooting for at this point in time... I don't have time to search through hundreds of ROMs to find one on which everything works perfectly for me, and I kinda like getting my OTA updates.
When the G1 is officially cast aside from updates and things, I'll definitely do it, but (and I know it's crazy talk to say this around here) for now I'm not really that bothered!
Unless anyone wants to convince me otherwise?
well think about it this way. all those times where you say "damn i wish tmobile would update this already" or "why didnt this come with the phone??" or "hurry up damn phone!"
...
if you root, theres a 99% chance you'll never say any of that again
least in my experience. i just rooted yesterday, and i love it!
i would like to know exactly whats fixed in this as the uk seem to get security updates 1st, possibly because we didnt have to wait aslong for cupcake.
And on the rooting point, go for cm4.0.1 recovery 1.4 there you go, they are the ones right for you

Relax, the G1 is very difficult to brick.
Read this thread and don't do anything stupid like flashing SPL before radio...
Okay, I am very new to this rom and root and mod your phone thing and tried to do so the other night, What I actually wanted was youtube user EmoGamer's version of the Hero 2.0.1 on his G1, like really bad! Oh well, anyways after totally messing my phone up from not knowing what I was doing, I managed to install the factory state back to the phone. Android 1.0! Now to get my phone back to Donut 1.6, I need 1.5
So does anyone know where I can get 1.5? like the real cupcake update, not some bootleg or mod rom, I mean the actual Cupcake update?
Please and thanks everyone.
Bootleg rom?
Wow that makes no sense...
I recc you do some reading before jumpiing the gun, you dont want to have a paper weight for the new year...
Sometime in the next couple days you will be prompted to update your phone, this will take you to the most recent official update... just keep a wifi, or other date connection, going and it will download it on it's own.

Of 2.0?
I know 1.6 will get sent to him but he wants to have root i think.
I think he just wants to go back to stock and not mess around with it at the moment.
"Now to get my phone back to Donut 1.6, I need 1.5"
And I wish it was 2.0 and I had some insider track on it... I think we will see that officially by January 20th, don't ask why I say that date, just seems like a good one to pull out of the hat.
Thanks for the info man I really appreciate all of it.
funny, i've been following these forums for quite a while now, but have never needed to post before. first off, thanks so much to mtmichaelson, thecubed, and everyone else for all the hard work you all have put into this phone. i'd have abandoned it long ago without your work. My question is a bit of an odd one, though not too bad i suppose. I, like everyone else, have been eagerly awaiting gingerbread, but of course it was released while i'm over in england for my gmas 80th birthday. Right now i'm running revolt 1.5 so i know i ahve to downgrade etc, but i was curious if i could even recieve the ota update here (wifi only)? and beyond that, would i get stuck in the activating sim card screen once updated if i've no service? of course england is a gsm country, so i wouldn't be able to contact verizon's regular servers... I know i should probably just wait until i return home, i'm just so eager.
Thanks again everyone

There isnt any word on a guaranteed update. Sure it was shown in the developer summit a Lumia 900 running 7.8 which of course in a way means that the 900 is definitely getting an update to 7.8.
So till further announcement by HTC,T-Mobile or may be Microsoft themselves we cannot be sure yet as to when we will get the update and how will we get it.
I am waiting for the SDK of Windows Phone 8 which is due probably this summer. Hopefully that build might have a fully functional working 7.8 which ROM devs can extract. I am on a custom ROM anyways.

i've been reading a couple of topics here about that... as what i've understand i have to downgrade something on my phone and you have to use the goldcard method... i'm not good with cables and soldering them together... so i don't think i'll be able to manage... and from where i am right now (PHILIPPINES)... it's an ANDROID/IOS infested place... most cellshops or cell technicians that do modds on phones... they only specialized on those O.S... so i just kept my phone official/mod free... i don't wanna risk having someone do something like that on my phone which they might end up breaking it... anyways the only thing that i would really love to do with my phone is accessing the storage using the USB CABLE... simply the idea of uploading my files to skydrive/dropbox/etc.. then downloading them again to my phone is stupid since i'm already beside my pc/laptop... got tons and tons of comics(cbr/cbz)/ebooks(epub/pdf) and files that i want to put on my phone but its just hassle because of how you have to do all of those...
if modding this phone won't involve hardware or opening the phone i believe i can manage... i mean i use to have an iphone and jailbreaking it doesn't need you to make your own cable just simply flashing a CFW or the like... and that goes the same with android...
anyways... simply the design and look of my HTC HD7 is awesome... i don't wanna let go of it... but now i'm TEMPTED to do that...

Not to get off topic.... but Like backlashsid said, its a pretty easy process and it sounds more complicated than it really is. Plus you have tons of support here that are more then happy to help you through the process if you decide too! You might only need to do the Goldcard method/ Y cable if your spl is 5.xxx or higher and if you have a pre mango Zune backup you can do it that way with out the Y cable or if your spl is 4.xxx you don't have to use the Goldcardmethod either!
Back to the topic at hand... I believe we will get the 7.8 update as well, our devices are more than capable and suited to get it. For that matter we may even see some of the WP8 system on our devices, with some backwards compatibility we just might see a new home screen and some of the new apps that are coming to WP8. Probably not everything that will be available but possibly a chunk of it because it's suppose to run on duel core!

1)HD7 has 576MB of RAM, not 512....
2)Nobody has ever managed to jailbreak most of the mango updated devices, so he should be worried since he cannot flash it...
however HD7 doesn't support win8 even custom roms?

Really?
All the custom ROMS are completely dev and interop unlocked... The HD7 is completely open.
The only "downgrade" is to the bootloader. and there is no soldering required... you can buy the cables and adapter pretty much anywhere to just plug together
my hd7 updated to tango calm down we all going to 7.8

Yup, even most of the customs roms are already updated with it... I've been running Deepshining custom rom, v7.7 - Tango 8779 for a week now! That right there tells you that development for our devices isn't going to stop just yet!
sad as it may be...
our phones were not optimized for extended usages, wordament isnt playing nice and overall my phone has been feeling really sluggish, and i have a 32gb class 10. I think htc is doing this on purpose smh, but im with tmobile and i refuse to use the htc radar or the knock off lumia 710 that pales in comparison of design.... I need 4.3 inch screen.... I really like windows but something is wrong with my phone.
