Problems Ive Had With My Tilt and Wonder What They Mean

[MimoG3]

hey everyone i bought a tilt, but i've had some problems and wonder what these might mean, its been 2 times already this happened,the phone would refuse to wake up when i push the power button, but the led's would blink, bluetooth and service led, also when i have done some reg edits or installed some things i've had the phone freeze at startup and had to take out the battery and start it up again to get it going, and once in a while when i do a soft reset once in while it thinks my battery is low when its actually like 90 percent and shuts down my phone, but once i turn it off completely and turn it back on its fine.

IT means a lot of things since you started hacking the registrys and installed some stuff.

Exactly, what did you hack and install?

I would take this as an opportunity to flash a new rom to it...


After reading up on how to hardspl it etc.

I too agree that something went wrong along the way in the process of doing some mod. First step would be to hard reset the phone. Be sure to stick the stylus in the reset button and soft reset when the "Installation will begin in 3 seconds" dialog box pops up so you don't have the ATT bloatware. If you really want to flash a ROM I would recommend the new ATT ROM as it is FAST! (Again, be sure to soft reset when the box pops up to avoid the bloatware!)

well i guess i need to reflash, i had the first att rom, the one that came with the phone, but i upgraded to the new rom as soon as i saw it, but i did a sprite back up of the old rom and put the backup on the new rom, would that have caused problems, because when i did reg edits and such before i never had problems

I don't trust backup programs to be able to restore my device after I've significantly changed my phone's operating system. Putting things back the way they were may have ill effects on new registry entries and such that a new ROM invariably makes. Its like saying you've upgraded your computer from Windows XP to Vista, and you want to take a tape backup to restore your software. If you want it done right you need to reinstall everything so it is configured for the new OS.
