AT&T Tilt blank screen after Kaiser Sim Unlocker!

[NetTechie]

The screen remains black, blank, and does not light up, even though activesync knows the device has booted because the icon becomes green. I can't navigate any controls, though the keys do light up when I slide it, or press buttons. Screen remains blank/black.

Here is what I did to get to this state:

1) I first hard reset my Kaiser, to reset all user preferences. This I accouplished by pressing both soft keys while pressing power (if I recall correctly), then hitting the green call button. It then installed Windows Mobile fresh.

2) I then followed the HardSPL instructions, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361236
Everything went fine.

3) I then followed the Kaiser Sim Unlocker instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
After completing step 5, the device rebooted, the AT&T icon displayed, then the screen goes blank and stays that way. :(

What should I do? Did I miss something? Is this recoverable?

[NetTechie]

It also does not have any sound. Does this mean I can't unlock?

How do I flash back to the original rom?

[NetTechie]

Ok, looks like have version 1.27.12.11 rom, during boot.... according to this page it isn't ok for my AT&T Tilt device. :(

So does this mean I have to pay to unlock? Or is there some way to do it still? Thanks.

Try flashing this radio.

I guess you didn't read step 10 :)

[NetTechie]

I have a problem... it wont go green now, I can't get activesync to go green. I wont be able to load the rom... what can I do?

[ EDIT ]
A reboot fixed this *sigh of releif*. Goes green now.

I guess you didn't read step 10 :)

Ok, question: Will I use the file in Step 3 to put that on the phone? It is saying there is a file open...? I can't disable USB on the device, as the screen is blank.

[EDIT] Looks like everything I needed was in the download. I put the other ROM back on. However, I'm having a problem with activesync... When I click on Connection Settings active sync freezes up. Any ideas what to do to fix ActiveSync so I can turn off USB, without crashing ActiveSync?

[NetTechie]

Okay, I got the screen with the unlock code... only it gave me this readout:

Your Unlockcode = ........

just like that, with dots.

Is there any way to unlock a phone, if the screen goes black? I can go back to the old firmware, but this special firmware is needed I think to do the unlock, and this special firmware makes the screen go black on my model.

EDIT: On page 33 of the Kaiser unlocker topic, I found what looks like my answer. I need the AT&T 1.57 ROM, as it is compatible with this patched radio so the display will work. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it on this forum yet. EDIT 2: Found it, loading it on now: http://www.4shared.com/file/38574592/b812098b/RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_157_-_Originaly_Shipped_ATT_ROM.html

[NetTechie]

Unlock worked, once I had the AT&T 1.57 version of the ROM on there. ActiveSync still freezes, but I uninstalled it for the section where I was supposed to disable USB. Installed the 1.27.12.11 radio after completing the unlock, replacing the patched radio. All finished. :)

Hi,

I followed the same steps as yours :

Firstly I reset my Kaiser & then followed the HardSPL instructions, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361236
Everything went fine.

I then followed the Kaiser Sim Unlocker instructions here:

After completing step 5, the device rebooted, the AT&T icon displayed, then the screen goes blank and stays that way

Now I tried flashing

But it didnot help :((

Can you please tell me what I should be doing next..

[mbarvian]

what do you mean when you say it "didn't help"?

[vrramakanth]

I still get the blank screen..I am now downloading the AT&T 1.57 version .. I am hoping if I install this I will get the display and I can proceed to step 8a, 8b,..

[Alibaba0101]

Sorry to be short,
But did you even bother reading through the other threads with the exact same problem as you?

the problem you have is that you flashed an incompatible radio with the ROM that you are runing on the phone. You need to reflash the ROM with a rom that is compatible with the radio or reflash the radio rom to what came with the phone rom that you are running.

You should have upgraded to a 6.1 cooked rom prior to doing the SIM/CID unlock.

Flash your phone with a cooked 6.1 rom that INCLUDES the radio, and then try the CID/SIM unlocker.

my two bit.

[vrramakanth]

I am trying with http://www.4shared.com/file/38574592...d_ATT_ROM.html, which is the ROM that comes with this phone. Do u think this helps? Do u want me to flash 6.1 ROM instead of this?

[Alibaba0101]

No,
Unless you know the stock ROM comes with a compatible radio, it will not work. The problem you are having is because you loaded a radio that is not compatible with the stock rom.

If you already have hardspl loaded, then load a cooked 6.1 ROM that includes a compatible radio (for example L26 v9 rom or Sleuth 3.0 rom).

[vrramakanth]

ok..am a BIG novice here..may be a bad question..I have Windows 6.0 on the mobile..so the Cooked 6.1 ROM L26 that I found http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26925 fits into this? Do I need to upgrade to 6.1 before this? sorry if its a wrong question ..:(

It's not a wrong question

1. Yes, that fits in
2. No, you do not need to upgrade to 6.1 before this, flashing the ROM will take care of it

hope this helps

[vrramakanth]

Thanks mbarvian!!
So I am Installing the upgrade to 6.1 ROM, but do I still need to install the correct AT&T ROM that you gave me in the other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2452022#post2452022?

Thanks!!

I now installed a 6.1 ROM..now do I need to downgrade to be able to do SIM unlock?
From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039 it says :
Note for WM6.1 users
================
Do not try this on 6.1! You will need to downgrade to 6.0

Flash back to your original radio.

[el_venga]

i posted this on jockys thread too. no one said anything but i know its usefull. install it before patched radio and u will be able to unlock it with olipros method.

[sneak9806]

Same thing happened with me after Step 5. Screen went into a blank. Everytime I turn on the phone after the 3g display it just goes strait into a black screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this..
NEED HELP FAST!! thanks

[mfrazzz]

I used Olipro's SIM/CID unlocker tool on a friend's Tilt and theirs did this. They were on the original AT&T rom. So I put the phone into the bootloader mode and then flashed a WM6.1 rom (doesn't matter which one, just use any WM6.1 rom, but also verify on the bootloader screen first that you are HardSPL'd). After this the new rom came on just fine. Then I could finish doing the final step. Afterwards, I flashed the radio onto the phone to match the rom I wanted and the phone was ready to go...

[KraPpZ]

but all the lights come on and it vibrates like 6 times....
how can i restore it?...i cant get back to the tri color screen to flash...
im totally stuck here....have any ideas?
