Team,
I have a Vodafone branded TyTn II. My company has also installed a "customization" file/script that sets certain perameters and configures the company mail. Unfortunately, the customization file affects other operations. As a result, I have upgraded my Rom in the belief that the this would completely remove spuriuos company files but to no avail. After about 3 seconds following a cold re-boot this cusomization file kicks in and a whole set of new files are installed. I have found some of the offending files but they are write protected so I can't mod them.
How can i stop the "Customization" from running or how can I modify the scripts?
TIA
Soft reset before the customization starts. It only runs the first time after a hard reset.
By the way, soft reset does not work on v1520 (Asus P550). I have the same problem with my device and no solution yet. Even in this forum I've asked about stopping the installation of EXT ROM several times but nobody has provided any answers...
Thanks,
The reset worked but the problems I thought were due to the corporate config are still there. I'll post the main problem in another thread and see if anyone has any ideas.
My GPS doesnt get any satellite when umts 900 is in use. Can anybody confirm this?
helo,
same thing is happening to me. so far you are the first with same problem.
i still havent found solution , i hope someone will.
also i had same problem with 2.1

Hi, i answered you in private msg...
Hey all,
I own an unlocked ATT Tilt 1 (Kaiser 8925). It is currently running windows mobile which is extremely slow. I have read all over the internet that you can put the Android 2.2 OS on this phone and have seen youtube videos on this topic also.
Ideally I need to be able to buy apps from the android marketplace.
Since I'm not a phone hacker I'd like to find a professional cel phone service company that can do this for me.
I searched extensively on Google and can't seem to find one. So who can do this and what is the normal charge for something like this.
Just trying make my old phone useful in wifi mode.
Any advice would be great.
Regards Henry
I don't think there is a company that provides such a service especially if we take in to account that kaiser/tilt is a 3 year old device and the android port is not official. There are plenty of topics in the forum describing how to replace winmo with Android. You don't have to be a hacker to run Android on your phone. Just read the stickies and you wil be able to flash ityourself in no time
There are phone dealers out there (in the USA anyway), that will do this for a fee on the Kaiser, but trust me, with what has gone into the development of this, almost anyone can do it. Save yourself the money and try it yourself. The worst I've heard about is a mis-flashed phone needing some master reset.
The question is who?
I live here in the Orlando area and have called a number of cel phone companies.
I was treated like King Gidorah Three Headed Space Monster. They didn't have a clue this could be done.

Listen HenrykJR there are about dozens of android builds on this forum + many different versions of two kernels, not all of those will work correctly for you. You might experience different issues with one setup but the other will work correctly for you. So even if there was a company that could flash it for you, you might end up with an unstable device. Also how could a company gain knowledge on flashing android builds to a phone that was originally shipped with windows mobile??? You seem to be looking for Nessy....in woods.
Your best bet now is to find someone in the forums to help you flash your device....maybe even use skype to show you how to do it. It really isn't that hard.
Hehe, i don´t think you´ll find a Company that will do it for you. Maybe you find some guys that do it for Money (me to ). But if you spend a little time with reading through this forum you could do it yourself and save the money.
Preparing:
1.) You need a SD card (mandatory for android on Kaiser). And you need a Google Mail Account for syncing your contacts etc. and access the android market.
2.) You have to "unlock" your Phone (with HSPL/HardSPL). Only after that you are able to flash things (Cusom WinMo ROMs, Radio, Android) to your Kaiser. So read through this guide and follow step 1-4.
3.) Now you have an unlocked phone an you should be able to flash everything. And the first thing you flash should be the latest "radio". The "radio" for Kaiser is similar to the BIOS for your PC. Like the subsystem and responsible for GSM chipset etc... So look & read in this Radio-Thread, download the latest Radio (it is 1.71.09.01) an follow the guide "Flashing Radio from microSD"
4.) Now your Phone is up-to-date and ready for flashing Android (or WinMo custom roms). YOU NEVER HAVE TO DO THE STEPS 1-3 AGAIN! Your Phone is now completely prepared!
Flashing Android:
For Android on Kaiser you always need 2 Parts. The Kernel (this part initialize the hardware so its similar to "driver" on PC) and the Built (the Android OS itself). But Both should work together so you´ll may find in some kernel suggestions in Built-threads because not ever kernel work with every built. For your beginning i whould suggest you some things:
First the kernel:
DZO is the most popular (the father of android on Kaiser) Kernel-Developer for Kaiser. So go to his repository and download "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh". Because Vouge and kaiser have almost the same hardware we all could use this kernel. But everyone have to modify this kernel to make phone related optimizations. You can do thy by hand (not recommended for you) or with a tool called "Atools". This tool is writthen in "Python" so mac and linux user could use it too. But you need to install Python. But that is all described in the Atools thread. Read through it and follow the guide.
Modifing Kernel:
We will only modify the madatory things. Not more at the moment...
So run Atools, klick on the "folder" Button and load the "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh".
Device: "Kaiser" should be checked
Resolution: 240x320 should be checked (native resolution of Kaiser display). Everything else will give blurry optic.
Version: "Froyo" should be checked, because we will flash a Froyo built (thats android 2.2). If you want to flash an older built like a Donut one (1.6) you have to modify & flash your kernel again.
Panel Type: Try "auto" or "1" first. But if you have a fuzzy screen or artifacts you have to try out which paneltype fits best for your device. HTC has built in 3 different displays in the Kaiser and the only way to find out which one is builtin is trial & error.
Keymap: Depends on which hardware keyboard layout you have. Here in Germeny i have to use "qwertz".
We leave the other options as they are an klick on the "Disk" button to save our modificated kernel now. it save it as "KAISIMG.nbh".
Now we need the Built:
I suggest "Fat Free Froyo" at the moment. Fast, stable, an looks good. So go to this thread and download "ODEX DOWNLOAD RLS5 ALL LANG-ODEX" on the bottom of the post.
then unzip/unrar this file...
Flashing your first Android:
1.) You should have a fat32 formatted SD card
2.) put the Kernel (the modified KAISIMG.nbh) to the root of SD card
3.) Create a folder named "andboot" on SD card
4.) Put the unzipped file (androidinstall.tar or .tgz) in the folder "andboot"
5.) Remove SIMcard and any cables from phone and put the SD card in your phone. Battery should be 50% carged or more...
6.) go to bootloader-mode (press and hold camera button and powerbutton). the KAISIMG should be loaded and it will show you "press powerbutton to update" or something similar. Do that... Now a progressbar will appear. When it is at 100% wait a few seconds an then pull the battery. Wait 10 seconds an insert it again. Voila! You flashed your first android kernel!
7.) Now we have to install android itself. So Power on the phone. In the moment when you see small white text on black background you have to press and hold the d-pad button. This one in the middle. Now you get in the install menu.
8.) Leave the options "System on nand" and "DATA on nand" as it is. Navigate to "install system" an press dpad. It ask "format system" and "format data". Both "YES". after this procedure you enter the menu again. navigate to "quit".
9.) Yeah! The first Bootup of Android! The first bootup takes longer as the following ones because now the system prepares for bootup and do a lot of optimisations. Even if you enter the lockscreen you should give it 10 minutes time to finish this optimization process in backround.
10.) Finish! You have flashed your first android completely! Now you can play around and make your settings. Remember: You have to sign in to your google account befor you can access the market or syncronize your contacts etc.!
Sounds more complicated as it is. Try it!
And if you´ll dig in deeper in this stuff you have to read here! Especially the Stickies/Refs/Tutorials! We´ve all done that!
have fun!

Brother, You can do it yourself, I can assure you. Regarding any ambiguity, you can contact me through PM. (I can guide you complete on voice over skype / msn). Its a TIDEOUS job but EASY to do since there is no MEANS OF BRICKING your kaiser (unless you flash something else than what u have do to install android).
I am here to help you in this community. And you can do this thing yourself.
Your device is At&t Tilt. The bad thing about installing android is getting a RIGHT kernel that suits your LCD type and enables wifi in the android build u install. (maybe in 1st try, maybe takes almost 10 tries like it happened for me)
UPDATE 274/2012
Okay. So, Nokser's FFUPartTool extracts the IMGFS partition from the FFU.
Barin's OSBuilder (here) can be used to dump the contents of the IMGFS.
The registry files can then be edited in HVEdit (link), and the IMGFS can be recreated using OSBuilder.
FFUPartTool can then be used to replace the IMGFS partition in the FFU.
This FFU now needs a Mazaa to be flashed on.
If anyone out here is brave enough to flash their phone, please report the results!
UPDATE 17/4/2012
So, as we all know we have a stock mango FFU for the Mazaa (see here if you don't).
And due to recent developments, we also have this: FFUPart Tool v1.3.1
What this means is, we can create a custom FFU for the Mazaa. Now, personally, I have never created WP7 CFW before, but Nokser, the creator of the tool above assures me the creating CFW with this tool is quite possible.
So, what are you guys waiting for? Race to the finish line?
My list of things to be done starts and ends with this: get htc connection setup to run.
That's literally all we need to kickstart the Mazaa scene. Once we have that, we can do the whole shebang.
We need a ROM image for the Mazaa before anything at all can happen.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the ROMs being used by people:
7.1.7649 - Test Rom. Has lots of interesting Microsoft applications (the zApps). But lacks quite a few features and stability.
7.1.7661.wp7_5_trial(mojobld).20110607-1657 - Similar Test Rom.
7.1.7720.68 - Locked bootloader. Phone is recognized as an HTC Device, but Connection Setup doesn't run.
7.1.7720.500 - Is basically the same as .68 but with an unlocked bootloader. Phone is not recognized as an HTC Device.
7.1.7740.16 - Updated via the official CAB [WP7 Cab sender tool]
7.1.8107.79 - via the official CAB [WP7 Cab Sender Tool]
7.10.8773.98 - via the official CAB [WP7 Cab Sender Tool] - 28/06/2012
Firmware revision number: 1600.1502.7720.68
Hardware revision number: 112.1410.2.0
Radio software version: 1.6.00.15.02
Radio hardware version: 8655/DDR2
Bootloader version: 7.27.00
Chip SOC version: 0.75.2.1
If anyone has different details, please post them.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The major problem with all ROMs is the lack of drivers.
1) LED lights don't function
2) SD Card slot
3) Connection Setup drivers
4) Internet Sharing doesn't work
Secondarily, because of the lack of connection setup drivers, there's no interop unlock. Which means no homebrew. Which means this device is pretty much what a technophobe buying a smartphone for the first time needs.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know how to edit FFU (full flash update) files? They seem to be .cab files with a signed xml .blob in them.
Is there any way to edit these files?
Alternately, has anyone been successful at obtaining a stock ROM for the Mazaa? Because otherwise the device is extremely crippled.
Once we obtain a stock ROM, it's merely the point of identifying what drivers are missing, appealing to the DFT team to test the Mazaa to check whether HSPL/RSPL works, testing whether HTC Trophy drivers (and maybe other phones' drivers) work, cooking a rom, and flashing it. Once we get the ball rolling, it should all materialise.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, what other problems are people having with their Mazaas?
Here's a list of problems I've noticed across the net:
Low battery life (4 - 6 hours at most).
Inability to connect to CDMA networks
Can't use HTC Connection Setup - hence no 3g/mms on certain networks
Inability to connect to certain GSM networks - lack of a valid IMEI
Frequent restarts/hangs [2 - 3 per day in some cases]
Each of these are frustrating faults.
Here' to hoping that the hundreds of DEVELOPERS with Mazaas can put in a concerted, collective effort and get this going. EVERY other phone has been unlocked/tweaked/improved upon, so why not a limited edition developer-exclusive device?
Thanks for summarizing the various versions. As developers, with a concerted effort, we should be able to resolve the issues and make it work for us.
I think most people sold the device, even if this wasn't allowed, at least for the first batch (not those won, but those requested for mango/gyro dev)
I had hopes battery problems where in a faulty battery...
even if they're sold, someone's still using them!
And the battery problems were too widespread (more than half a dozen cases) for me to discount.
the IMEI problem on the other hand was in a single case - mine.

That's right, but they're probably not in dev hands anymore, so chances are not very helpful hands at this, especially since there's no more access to official updates.
All summed up, since not even the gyro works correctly on mine, it's a paper weight for which I'm still waiting for import taxes refunding
As far as issues, in addition to the above:
- I cannot send/receive MMS (SMS works, though)
- No 3G (DO or 2x only)
- 2-3 crashes per day
My build is 7.1.7720.68
Sent from my Mazaa using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I have HTC Mazaa
I have the HTC Mazaa device that exactly matches all the details given in the original post in this thread.
For me, its working perfectly, no battery problems (works for 2-3 days), no crashes at all, I can't say about 3G support problems because we don't have that in our country. The phone works perfectly fine.
I have dev unlocked the device from App Hub but would love to remove the interop lock as well...in fact thats what I came here for.
Please guide me.
Thanks.
When I first got my cdma provisioned Mazaa, it had a 7.1.7600_Main build on it. This was like the test ROM - it had the zApps. Looked to be the internal Microsoft beta for employees. I think everything worked on that, just Mango was crippled.
Does anyone have this? I flashed the ffu and the backups can't restore. It would be an interesting starting point if the oem bits are all there.

How can I update my Mazaa to 7.1.7740.16 build?

Hello there,
Currently I'm using a Mazaa sent from MS with the 7720.500 fw, It has all the zApps and the internal MS apps like FindSomeone, it has battery issues (but it's not worse than an Omnia 7 with Mango), and there are four annoying things experienced:
- volume is always a bit too loud and MP3 playback is sometimes faltering
- when you press the ON/OFF button, sometimes the screen comes back immediately after turning it off
- when you place a call, sometimes the screen turns off immediately, which can be brought back using the proximity sensor (hold close to head, then move it away)
- cannot receive MMS messages
Exact details:
OS: 7720.WM7_Main(mojobld).20110723-1640
FW: 1600.1502.7720.500
HW rev: 112.1410.2.0
Radio SW: 1.6.00.15.02
Radio HW: 8655/DDR2
Bootloader: 7.27.0.0
Chip SOC: 0.75.2.1
I'm no expert in messing with phones (only using homebrews once they become 99.999999999% safe) but if I can help in any ways I'm not breaking this phone, I can surely do my part provided I'm given step by step instructions.
To update to 7740/8701:
Use the WP7 update cab sender tool here
Okay. So, let's get this sorted: We need a ROM. MSFT has said ROM. We need MSFT to give us the ROM. So, I'm requesting everyone: Send a message to whoever your contact is in Microsoft and let them know of the many problems that everyone is facing. At the very least, ask them to provide new radios to get rid of the hardware glitches. Granted it's a test rom, all the more reason that they should actually be working on it. A phone that doesn't work as intended is more a burden than not.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to be of any help in getting an updated ROM, since we are low on the supply chain. Also, the way we get each new build is by getting a new phone. (Send back old one, get one with newer software.)
I have an HTC Mazaa, running 7720. Everything is ok for a dev phone, I have no serious problems with it, except EDGE/GPRS not working and speaker emitting a loud tone when I'm calling a number outside my network. I'm thinking of installing the new updated build. How should I proceed exactly? Should I use the cab sender tool? I also want to mention that the phone is not dev unlocked, I'm still waiting for a student unlock. Thanks.
download the cab sender.
download the cab.
place the cab in the same folder as the cab sender.
run the cab sender.
send the cabs to the phone.
you're done.
I tried to update my HTC Mazaa and I got an error at the first restart. But, after that I typed *#06# on the Phone hub and I get this IMEI: 00A100000794C***.
I did it again, but this time, with my SIM card inside the phone. Unfortunately, I got the old IMEI message: Failed.

Is there anyone on xda-devs to help us update our HTC Mazaa and also do the interop-unlock?

Hmm...
Here.

That's an FFU.
Which cab should I use? Or which is the recommended one? Thanks.
Thankyou for that FFU
@abhilaksh Thankyou for that FFU file it saved me from alot of messing around. So happy to get my Mazaa back in working order. It broke on me a few months ago and ive been though hell trying to get the bugger fixed. It just got stuck on the mobile operator screen.
imgur(dot)com/oBH9M
Even had it sent off to UK repair center for them to send it back in the same condition (Idiots). I was just about to send it off to a US repair center when i did some more searching. It worked a treat, really straightforward as well.
If anyone else is a noob in the same situation as i way id recommend these simple instructions:
1. Install Zune Beta Client (beta includes the UpdateWP tool)
2. Install the SetupUpdateWp.exe to get the tool
3. Follow these instructions to flash your phone
