Old news ! Not nice to start a " new " thread for something we had not expected anyway.

Yeah, I know its old news. But even so, a large amount of people do not know this, so its still worth posting.

Do you realize what board you're on? Don't generalize, you have been left behind, not me. I've been running WM6.1 on my Tilt since the winter when it first leaked and have been running the lasted build since Monday.

Everyone here knows this and it is not worth posting as you will find out.

No, I have browsed through some threads and it seemed that a decent amount of people had not realized that only the HTC-Branded devices had recieved the update.

People who read stuff already knew for like a month that the update would probably be only for HTC branded devices, I guess you don't.
Anyways, it doesn't mean there won't be official updates for you, just that your company, whichever it is, will have to customize things first before releasing a rom, especially adding all their bloatware.

Oh, and about accelerated graphics, please, noone got them, it's not that you're a special target.

I know that there were some "fixes" but no drivers, and it has been said that ATT users will get it, just when they get ready to release it after adding all their crap.

I am here to help , what was the question ? I just heard a rant that the mods have said ( continually ) is not appropriate for these forums. If you read the official announcement from HTC when they announced the TYtN upgrade, they said that they had no plans to release an upgrade fer the Tilt in the near future. Why is this rant important to this forum?

What are you talking about denco? This is not even a rant, it is a statement. I did not mean for it to be a rant and I did not mean for people to mistake it as one. I merely meant to inform people that only the branded HTC devices got the update. It appeared as though alot of people had not realized this, or, at least enough for me to post. I can even show you some quotes if you need me too.

Denco, please look up the definition of 'rant'.

Just talked to HTC. There is no 6.1 rom from them for the HTC phones (mine is the TYTN II) available anywhere on the globe.

... I merely meant to inform people that only the branded HTC devices got the update...

I am not trying to entice the argument here, but i will add couple of things:

a) Most of the "regular" members here at xda already know that the tilt or any other branded version of the tytnII will not be getting the updates. (emphasis on regular).

b) none of the xda members really care about official updates as we have very gifted and talented chefs here that can port roms for us (and we are truly greatful for that) and seeing that the only diffrence between the TytnII and tilt is the front camera that shouldn't be a big deal.

c) drivers (which there aren't none) can also be ported. There are chefs already working on porting the diamond drivers over to tilt which runs vga.

Having said that i would like to thank you for the info ... but unfortunately its old news and no one likes repeatedly hearing old news.

Did you try hitting the download link at the bottom of this link -

http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=67&act=sd

? (Posted by jdmba)

Welcome to the ROM update for the AT&T Tilt. Please review the following prior to downloading and installing the latest ROM update (version 1.62.502.0) on your device.

;)

I very nearly downloaded this one by mistake. I registered with htc but my phone S/N is not a real HTC device and was still logged in, but I managed to (mistakenly) download the file from that link without much issue.

That help?

Those bastards! Oh wait. I'm not worse off than I was before. Even If I didn't have XDA to feed my obsession for ROM flashing.

um what is there to help with? It doesn't seem like the OP had a question or required help in any way. He came on and made an ignorant statement.

I don't know who you spoke with but they were wrong; I just ran the HTC RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) from the HTC e-club web site and the splash screen clearly states Windows Mobile 6.1. I have an HTC TYTN II and it works great.

The thing that puzzles me about this is the way the AT&T Tilt gets singled out as if it's special - in reality it's just one dozens of rebranded Kaisers around the globe, none of which have had an official update. I have a "Vodafone V1615", am I whining about where to download a Vodafone update for my Vodafone V1615? No, of course not, with the help of this forum it's been running the original HTC rom since October, and upgraded to the HTC 6.1 update a couple of days ago (before it was released by HTC in fact). So what's the problem?

The irony is the AT&T Tilt is (I believe) the only variant to have it's own section of the HTC website, and to actually have already had a rom upgrade back in February, albeit 6.0 only. Where are all the complaints about that from owners of the V1615, or the T-Mobile Vario 3, or the Orange Tytn II, or O2 XDA Stellar, or the "3" Tytn II, etc etc..?

So after listening for the good part of a week about how this upgrade is crap. It is unstable, it freezes. Why did HTC even bother with this "pos" ? And the multitutde of other comments and requests on how to downgrade. Is it any wonder that AT$T decided not to release this?

AT$T has been a pretty good provider for me so far ( my Tilt, wife's iPhone ) I do not think that I would be saying this if they had released this seemingly beta at best upgrade. Take time AT$T ( not too much ) with 6.1 upgrade, I can wait for a quality update. For a short while

My guess is bubbleking is a whiny teen or 20-something. He/she is unhappy that they were not the first to receive the 6.1 update. How could I not be included in the latest and greatest? So, while the post was not a rant and just a statement, it's a whiny statement. Too bad the tilt owners don't have a update yet or possibly never...maybe you shouldn't have bought the tilt or done more research prior to purchase...

Before you say "easy for you to say," I would like to say I, too, am a tilt owner. I was using a 8525, but finally got tired of the white screen problem and opening up my case each time to get it to work for a day or two and only saw the tilt as a feasible option. I need a pda phone for work as we run a ppc-specialized app required at work. Need a touchscreen & wifi so options were limited. I am NOT whining about lack of update...at&t is not required to update...it would be nice if they did, but they don't have to do a thing. You can choose not to support them buy not buying their products, however, if they don't provide the service you expect. I wish they had a "fixed" 8525 model out as I would buy that in a heartbeat. Was always zippier than my tilt.

I'm tired of people crying about I deserve this or I'm entitled to that. Quit your whining and move on.
