Well I thought I would relay MY experience today.
I'm selling my XDA2 after upgrading to the 2i but as it was on WM2003SE I thought it best to downgrade it to 1.72 - afterall this CAN be done and would make sense to give it someone else with the latest o2 update rather than custom ones.
I put the XDA2 in its cradle, checked country id issues and then proceeded with the upgrade. BANG....USB v1.01 screen comes up and it didn't shift for 6 HOURS!!! Nothing I did made any difference, until I came across someone's comment (not on here) saying the only thing they tried once they'd rebooted into bootloader mode was to do it on another PC. I'd initially tried to put WM2003SE on my own PC and had a very similar issue to this one, but when I tried at work it upgraded immediately. Luckily I had a spare laptop hanging around and thought s*d it, it can't do any harm!
IT WORKS!!! I don't know why it's blocked on my PC, and what's caused it...but the laptop worked first time. I would ask anyone in the future having these kinds of problems with the bootloader screen and the PC not updating / downgrading to try it on ANOTHER PC!!! Obviously I can't say for sure, but for me it's 2 / 2!
Cheers

Upgraded BT BB Anywhere HTC S620 to Kavana's excellent wm6.1 rom. All working great.
Anyone know how to restore BT as the operator logo instead of vodafone?
Am afraid i dont.
I have the same phone and also flashed it.
BT runs on the Vodaphone network.
Does it matter the op logo is not BT? its not like you havent invalidated ur warranty already.
No it's not a big deal really, just wondered if it could be done.
i had this issue, but strangely, a few days later, it returned to BT on its own, whereas it had said vodafone
very strange.
I've had kavana 6.1 on for a few weeks now so I don't think it's going to change now. I could always phone BT & say their logo has disappeared from the phone, I'm sure they would be helpfull...yeah right

What about getting the logo off the phone body "debadge"
Thought about thinners "No it will discolour"
Brillo pad "Sounds a bit extreme"
Sticker "Bound to come off"
Any ideas hate the reminder of BT everytime i look at my phone
If you have to return phone ever make sure you reflash BT ROM http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=a1e428ed720bdf418c9e7c56ba37815f84a9dca793b93f60
Wish I could help with the internal operator logo. US phones don't display them.
As for the case badge, the usual remedy is rubbing it with table sugar with your fingers. If not careful, it could mar the finish, but it's the surest way to get the branding removed without harming the phone.

Providing the phone is in a fit state to be reflashed of course, knowing my luck the phone will die one day & I won't be able to reflash before returning. Although I think if I had kept the BT **** on there another second I would have binned it anyway.

I know's what you mean, i have not upgraded to Kavana, due to my phone working extremely well with a re-set and OC'd, WM6.1 looks nice but bound to use more RAM.
I'm a happy owner.
I put this together for BT users who want to re-set there device, but not void warranty by a ROM update http://www.s620.blogspot.com/ but don't know where to put it doubt BT would like me to put link on there forum???
Have linked off my blog which is on the BT anywhere links, so hope people see it anyway.
Great blog, screenshots look good, I may go down that path next.
Won't the warranty be void if they realise it's been OC'd?, come to think of it would they even check the phone if it was sent back, probably just post out another one.
Would be nice if BT released a 6.1 upgrade, I'm going to find it hard to ditch this.

Thank you for comments
If you reset phone before going back for repair etc, then there is no trace of software install. They underclock them anyway.
What proof do they have some screenshots with a program installed
I like the way it looks and i'm far more into having a fast phone than one that looks great, but the WM6.1 builds do look amazing.
Trevaaaaaaa take look @ my security Blog also links to Multi-Media under sig.
stylez,
would you have HTC_S710_WWE_BT... ROM? I have a BT HTC S710, which needs reflashing or rebranding because by mistake after using HTC original on it, I needed to reflash, in the process I ended up with a partial reflash (S620), now my smartphone does not show anything on the screen. I have sound from key presses and two green lights on either side of ear piece.
YOSEFE
If im not mistaken, the S710 is the VOX.
You would have a better change going to the vox forum and asking them after you read around to see if one is posted.

I have spent days on the HTC S710 posts. No one is coming out with an answer. At the moment they all point to the BT ROM for HTC S620.
BT can only take it in for repairs.
I am in a fix over this one.
7 days no phone.

So I've had my dash for about a year now. For the longest time, wifi worked just fine. I only use it while I'm in europe. I was home in the states for the summer and sent it off to have the screen repaired, got back to europe a little over a week ago, and have yet to get wifi to work like it did.
Some things I've tried- power mode to best performance, taking out the battery, restarting.
Some more advanced things I just tried- Installed the 3volution winmo 6.5 series rom I found on this website yesterday. Still when wifi is clicked on, it does not scan and I only see "unavailable." Does this mean it is a hardware error for sure (did they break something when the screen was being repaired?)
Anyone able to think of a fix?
Also the 3volution rom is awesome, thanks very much!
this is a old thread but i've had the same problem with you,wifi always "unavailable". so can every one help us or have solution for this problem??
I've got two identical Windows Mobile phones (Verizon XV 6800). One connects to our WiFi just fine, the other always reports "Unavailable". The settings are identical. Would love to have this mystery resolved.
maybe its an internal prob...
Do you still have the same IMEI on your device? Maybe they swapped boards in the repair center and you now have a board without WLAN (T-Mobile MDA Mail in Germany is such a board).
Hi
Apologies from experts if it feels like its a duplicate thread but
I have got my HTC Touch Pro (AT&T tilt 2) 3 days ago and I buyed it from here
cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-HTC-Touch-Pro2-Tilt-2-T7373-3MP-GPS-WIFI-SMARTPHONE_W0QQitemZ170623785892QQcategoryZ9355QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8458431053988178105
After I connects the phone to computer the orange lights up and it starts charging. At computer end nothing happens at all, even my computer dont detect it as a unrecognized device.
I have read like every similar thread and tried everything, different computers, different OS, different software, different cables and toggling between the options in my phone for advance/speed syn etc.... but NO MATTER WHAT IT IS JUST CHARGING THE PHONE.
I have Windows 7 and the my tilt 2 have WM 6.1
The only thing I doubt is USB cable because the cable I received from the seller is 5 Pin Mini USB cable where as original HTC Mini USB cable is of 11 pin. Could that be the residing issue? I tried other cables but they all were 5 pin.
Please help, I have 14 days to return out of which I have already wasted 4 days with no outcome except numb butts.....
Forgot to add I have tried Soft/Hard Resets too.......
Any standard MiniUSB plug should be fine. I haven't use the HTC plug in ages. I've been using whichever MiniUSB plug I have handy around my computer to sync and charge it. I don't even know where my original HTC one is. I don't think it was eleven pins, though (not on the mini-end anyway).
I made some research already on that and found it varies from case to case. There have been numerous cases where Standard 5 Pin mini USB cable didnt worked.
Even I checked Ebay and found there are 11pin Mini USB cable specifically designed for HTC models.
cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-Data-Charging-Cable-HTC-11-Pin-Mini-USB-/200430374486?pt=UK_Mobile_Home_Phones_Bluetooth_Acc_ET&hash=item2eaa94ce56
cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-Data-Charging-Cable-HTC-Droid-Eris-Tilt-2-/290393821238?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item439cd21036
Is there Any other software that I can install for Syn and ROM update other than WMDC, ActSync and HTC Sync?
Can we Update ROM and install Windows 6.5 via blue tooth?
I havnt tried but I guess bluetooth will work atleast for WMDC.

As far as I know, the 11-pin cables are for the multi-support dongles. Syncing and transferring only need the regular 5-pin cables.
There is alternative software for syncing, but not for ROM updates. You need the driver software that is installed with WMDC to be able to communicate with the device. I have used BirdieSync with Thunderbird before with much success. You still need to have WMDC installed in order to use that, however.
You can't update ROMs via bluetooth. None of the radios are enabled in the bootloader sequence, so it isn't possible. You can sync and file transfer with it, but that is all.
You can update ROMs via SD card. Simple rename the *.nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh and place it in the root of your SD card (not in any folder). Hold down the volume down key while you press the soft reset button with your stylus. This will bring you into bootloader mode and will prompt you to flash the ROM image.
If the 5-pin MiniUSB cable isn't working for you, then I would think that you have either a defective charge port or bad cable. Both of those problems are pretty likely.
Thanks and what about windows update?
Can I upgrade current Windows Mobile 6.1 to Windows Mobile 6.5 via same or some other method?

If you have the official update from HTC or your carrier, then simply right click on the file, and select Extract. Do the same method as above with the extracted *.nbh file. You could also learn to flash custom ROMs.

Its was AT&T Tilt 2 originally but the seller unlocked it so from every side its just Touch Pro 2 now.
Now which update should I use for? still use AT&T Tilt 2 update? Will update of AT&T will lock the phone again?
Strange thing is that AT&T Tilt 2 always came with Windows 6.5 and in black body but mine is Silver with Windows 6.1.

All the Rhodiums originally came shipped with WM6.1. They were all updated after the release to WM6.5 since the update happened a few months after the device's release date. None of them were ever updated to WM6.5.3. This is where customs ROMs help fill the gap. Also, the Tilt 2 has a silver back cover. The European one has the black cover.
Unless the device is security unlocked, you are only going to be able to flash the AT&T ROMs. Flashing a new ROM will NOT relock the SIM card. The latest AT&T ROM uses Sense 2.5, but has been reported to be very slow after using it for some time.

But here the keypads (sliding querty keyboard) is also silver. The back silver battery cover says HTC Touch Pro 2. On Front top right it says AT&T logo and HTC logo on top left. Mobile restart startup screen also says HTC Touch Pro 2, no name of AT&T.

That's pretty typical. If you still need proof that you have a Tilt2, then simply look underneath the battery. Right above the gray portion with the barcodes, you will see a line of text. In there will be the model number in the form of RHODxxx, where xxx is a three digit number. Mine is the T-Mobile version (RHOD210). This model number will tell you the service your device was locked to if any.

Well, this actually presents a bit of a dilemma. That isn't the right model number for the Tilt2.
The one you need to flash would be the RUU_signed.nbh. Don't do that just yet, though.
Does the keyboard on your device look more like PICTURE #1, more like PICTURE #2, or more like PICTURE #3?

The keyboard is like picture number 2 and the screen and logo's at top are like picture number 1 that is HTC logo on top left and AT&T logo at top right.
OMG...!! I just checked the serial number of my mobile by *#06# and the number I got is different from the one printed on the back side after removing the battery.
Seems like the mobile I buyed is un-branded of any company. I think they are mixing and matching different mobiles parts with eachother....
The screen is of AT&T, keyboard is of Touch pro 2 and may be main board/bios of some other company......

That's what I was afraid of. They probably did a repair job and swapped the parts. The model number for the Tilt2 is RHOD300. You should try to get your money back if you can.
If you want to keep the device, it is going to act like a RHOD100, which is the International unlocked version.

Yes right and sorry actually they match, earlier I matched IMEI with serial number.
Its a unlocked version and I should forget about Tilt 2 now.
So now how am I going to upgrade to Windows 6.5? Where is it available for download?

It's on HTC's website. Just do the same thing as earlier. Now you're looking for the International version. Or just an unlocked European version.
EDIT: This should be the one you need.

Hello people, i'm going to tell you something you should know if you are going to buy the Nyko Playpad.
(I'm not trying to discurage you from buying the controller i'm only gonna give you guys some info. Very good info.)
(Also, if i posted this in the wrong place, sorry, i'm new here.)
Anyway, what i was going to tell you is something that happend to me. I bought the controller to use it with my HTC Evo View 4G Tablet.
The controller claims to be compatible with any Android device, as long as it has a version of 3.0 and up, BUT, it won't work on ALL devices. (A guy from Technical Support told me this.)
So my problem is that I am able to pair the control and the tablet, but aren't able to establish a succesfull connection, after pairing the controller, they don't connect like they are suposed to, insted, the light on the controller goes back to flashing slow, I made sure everything was correct, folowed the instructions sevral times, but no luck. Clicking on the device from the list of devices wont work eather, i only get a message saying to press any key on the KEYBOARD to reconnect; pressed the hell out of the buttons sevral times and they still don't connect.
Later on this day today, i call technical support but they wernt much of help, all they told me was that not all devices are compatible, and to try to reset the controller that there is a button to do so and then to try again. I fond the pin hole but theres no botton, so there is no reset botton, nor does it say anywhare how to do so. (the hole doesn't even say "reset" like most holes.
The controller is not defective, i tried it on my friends Galaxy Tab 2 and it worked with no problem at all, it also works perfectly with my iPod 4g.
So what i'm trying to tell you is to do some background research to see if your device will be compatible, and for gods sake, make sure you are on Android 3.0 or above, some people don't even see that. (I forgot to check so myself.)
Here is a list of devices i tried and if they worked or not and a reason:
Verizon Galaxy Tab 7" (Galaxy Tab 1): Not working. Reason: Below Android 3.0
HTC Evo 4G: Not working. Reason: Below Android 3.0
Galaxy Tab 2: Working Perfectly.
iPod 4th Generation (Running IOS 6.1.3 Jailbroken): Works perfectly in iCade mode.
HTC Evo View 4G: Not working: Reason: Pairs but doesn't connect. (Yes I made sure it was running above 3.0, and my tablet is running on 3.1.2)
LG Optimus L9: Not working. Reason: Pairs but doesn't connect. (Didn't check what Android version it was running on, my friend took it away from me befor i could check.)
I also know that it works perfectly on the Galaxy Note II.
Again, im not trying to discurage you from buying it, its one hell of a good controller, only thing is that its kind of small, but you eventually get used to it after the first day.
It would be nice to have a list of comatible devices on their website, or somewhere, in fact, if there is non, we should all make one by saying which device they tried and if it worked or not.
One last thing, if you guys know how to make it work on the HTC Evo View 4G Tablet, please tell me, perferably something not requireing root, I've Googled to death and even made an account here for help and i got no reply... Or at least how to reset the controller.
Hope this was helpful to you people who want to buy the controller, if i made you change your mind about the controller, sorry, but this has to be somewhere to be found and known about. Thanks for taking your time reading this, and if you decide to help on my little connection problem, also thanks.

Whoa sorry for the year late reply, but i actually tried that pinhole thing and didn't fix it, i figured it was just my ex HTC tablet that was not compatible... so i guess just because it was in the 3.0+ or whatever, it doesnt really meen it will work, to this day, i gave the tablet to my little neice, and its still not compatible lol... but i have a Tab 4 7.0 and a Note 2 i use it with cx
