My original Tilt stopped charging the battery so I got a warranty replacement. I restored my last Sprite Backup file on to the new Tilt and after completing the restore the new Tilt wouldn't accept my device PIN number. At first I thought in my haste I had somehow made a typeo (not realizing that of course it would have the same PIN as on the original phone after restoring the Sprite file) so I called ATT. They walked me through the hard reset procedure which I knew very well from owning the 8525 since the day it came out, Nv. 17, 2006. No dice. No matter how hard I tried to hard reset it just did a soft reset so they sent me another warranty replacement phone. Got that today and mad sure to not enter any PIN before restoring the Sprite file. Performed a Sprite restore and bam! Same problem. Call HTC and ATT and discover that apparently the version Sprite built into the ROM as a "Extra Security" doesn't allow you to restore on to a new phone. So now I have to wait for another (Third) warranty replacement phone to Arrive On Friday (I missed the overnight deadline this time) and I was hoping one of you geniuses might now a way out of this predicament without flashing a non authorized ROM. I have considered it many time but am not ready to make that plunge right now. Also, I am wondering if I install the commercial version of Sprite and back up my original phone will I be able to restore that on the new Tilt when it arrives. I suppose I would have to upgrade from my windows Mobile 5 version of Sprite I had on my 8525. In the mean time at least these two brand new Tilts are good for something, I can use them to charge my battery that won't charge in my original Tilt. Thanks in advance for your help.
