New AT&T Tilt Owner - Need some guidance

Hello,
I am new to this site, I've read and read about the cooked ROMS for the HTC phones. I'm anxious for the 6.1 update to come out for AT&T, anyone know when this will come out? I know that the TyTn II update came out, but when I log into HTC's website, it's nowhere to be found. However, if I decide to go with a Cooked ROM, can someone direct me to what I first need to do to prepare my phone for it, and where I can load the latest Cooked ROM?
Also, anyone who was scared to brick their phone and did the Cooked ROM how is it and what do you recommend?
One last thing, if I do load a cooked ROM on my phone, and AT&T releases the 6.1 update, I could easily update it with that correct?
Any help is appreciated.

There is a dedicated Kaiser (AKA Tilt) forum
And the stickies there (mainly the Wiki) got it all.

How to BackUp original ROM

Hi, I live in Australia and I bought my HD2 from TELSTRA the other day.
Quite happy with it so far.
I'm interested in trying some other ROMs but want to BACKUP the original ROM that came with the phone. Is there a program which will let me do this?
Thanks

Read the ROM flash instructions for NOOBS in the ROM development department.

well, i look for dumping the rom not back up.do u suggest any guide prepared for htc hd2?
thanks a lot

its not easy, my advice is download the one mentioned above.
but, if you are technically minded, see this.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
its for the raphael not the hd2 but the process is the same - dump the raw files then use a kitchen to re build the rom file.

Like 99 out of 100 times your telco provides your Official Rom through HTC's website if you register your device. I have a HTC P3300, one HTC P3600 and an HTC Diamond and I can download the official rom from HTC.
I know this is not what you're asking for, but it's the official rom installed on your device. If there are any extra apps and gizmos by your telco provider, then I don't know.

thank all the helps.

Tmobile HD2 needs HTC updates or not?

Apologies if I didn't search enough, but I was wondering if the stock ROM that the TMobile US HD2 came with already had the hot fixes installed that are currently on the HTC website (i.e. camera fix, sms fix, calendar view, etc). Thanks in advance for your responses.

which tmo? the us one or the one everyone else has? if its the us, then no, everyone else, yes. (well, i think maybe germany has a new tmo rom out that has the fixes built in. more info needed to answer you)

So stock US Tmobile ROM has the fixes already part of it or I need to download them from the website?

No, you have rom 2.10, all the hotfixes on the site are for 1.66 or lower. If you select the update, and read the info on it, it tells you what rom versions it is for.

Thanks for your time!

Kind of confused ... I am guessing 2.10 has all the fixes included... it would not make sense to go back to 1.66

Differences between O2 and Unbranded ROM's

Hi guys,
I've been using the forum for a year or so now and it's great!
I'm now the proud owner of an HD2 from O2 UK and I've already updated the ROM to version 1.72.206.3, which I believe is the latest, but what are the differences between this O2 ROM and the unbranded ROM?
I've done a search and can't seem to find anything to answer this question.
Hope somebody can help.
thanks

The unbranded ROM?
Which ROM? Do you mean the original o2 1.43 ROM? Not much difference that you would recognise. The volume slider in WMP renders correctly in 1.72 whereas in 1.43 it looked like a poo stain in a pair of underpants. Apart from that forget it. I just includes all of the camera, SMS and other hotfixes which had been released between the two versions.
Do you mean cooked ROMs you can download from XDA? The world of difference. Select a ROM with the features you want from the ROM section and flash it as per the instructions given.
Maybe over the next year you will read some of the posts. Maybe even learn a thing or two

if you do in fact mean cooked roms. then alot.
for me (an energy user) the phone no longer crashes every day. i can install all the apps i want and not hit the memory usage on the phone. The phone runs alot faster, smoother has better apps pre-installed and i just like it more?

After having read almost all threads from the beginning it seems that ALL branded HD2s are buggy to excess ..............
I use an unbranded one, and while once in a while I had some probs with 1.43 since 1.48 it runs as smooth as liquid nitrogene.
I have also installed SKTools and Pocket Mechanic, LeoCPUSpeed V.3.0, CHT 1.6 (the ultimate stable version till now), Chainfire´s 3D-driver and before any mod or installed app I do a backup. In case a new app causes probs I just revert to sit as before.
No single hardreset necessary till now since I unpacked it.
Honestly: I was heavily tried to flash a cooked ROM once, but I refrain from THAT as soon as I read in the specific threads about the many problems some of the users then have with lock-ups, freezes, bricking. And branded HD2s ARE cooked ROMS !
CHT, Franwella, Jaguaralani, Smaberg, MooNah and the many others (sorry for not remembering ALL names, but ALL are geniousses) offer such nice little mods that there is no need FOR ME to experiment with cooked ROMS.
Also on Freewarepocketpc - when is new app is issued - as soon as I read "does not work on HD2" I abstain from installing till a stable version is issued.

difference between o2 rom and unbranded rom
hi
in o2 rom wifi router is missing

Hi all,
Thanks for all the input so far.
Previous to having the HD2 I had an X1 which I flashed with various cooked ROM's successfully and it worked quite well.
Really, I just need to know what is missing on the O2 1.72 ROM that is on the equivalent stock ROM which I assume is 1.48 and would I benefit from flashing a stock ROM to the device.
Would it let me do this with no problems and would it affect the warranty, if it needed reapair, if I did flash it with a stock ROM or would I have to go back to the O2 ROM?

[Q] legendery rom

hi, one question, recently aquired an Htc Legend from Spain and unlocked it because i use a Orange service, and after so many rom`s on this forum, i just prefer ro root it to the official one the one with, posibility for an oficial froyo update, the unbranded untampered out of the htc factory with htc sense, any ideea witch one that might be, i know i`m a newbie at this but i cant seem ti locate it alone using serch

Sorry but what is it that you're asking?

He's asking for the latest official HTC ROM that's unbranded and untampered, as he can't find it through the search function.

is it this?

I believe you are looking for this?
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698421
This is nearly stock, but rooted and unbranded ROM. Not sure if this one gets FOTA though.

seee, this is what i`m talking about isn`t there a clean rom for the legend the one that works 100% as it should not, the rom that comes with the legend that you buy from htc not a service operator, the more i read on each rom people say that this one is for faster web, upgradable but no sense, works perfect but no gps suport, these are the trates of a custom one,
I really apreciate the effort but that isn`t the one i`m looking for, saw that one thow.
If i root my phone will it affect the posibility of an update to Froyo OTA?

Ah, so you want the latest official ROM without rooting?

Well, if you're currently on a firmware lower than 2.03 then go grab the RUU for that ROM on shipped ROMs

Thank-you finally some enlightment
