noob trying to get his phone to work...

[brilliantslide]

Hi guys, first post on the forums... so be a little patient, I hope I am in the right place.

I bought a used att Tilt last night and it came with windows mobile 6.1 already on it. I threw my sim card in there and it kept dropping signal. it would have signal for one minute and then lose it for a minute and then get it back. anyways I figured it was a botched install or something so I went to HTC's website and flashed the 6.1 update they have there.

RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0

now it runs a lot faster and except it wont allow me to call out/connect to the internet or anything.

I do have 4 bars and it says I am connected to the ATT network but something isn't right.

if you guys could help me out that would be great but I am a little new to this so bear with me.

Does your SIM still work in your old phone? and can you receive calls(you only stated you can't call out)

does the signal keep popping in and out and the radio signal strength icon (where the bars usually are) have an exclamation mark when you have no signal?

if that is the case, i dont know the fix, but ive had two devices do the same thing. both would exhibit the same behavior with stock 6.1/6.0/many customs and many radio versions, spl 3.28/29/56 and 1.0, and returning them to stock. i still have one of them and was going to return it for service. i thought i might have been the evil radio problem, but it took every flash i threw at it and still had the same problem.

this is all with my sim that works in my two current kaisers/moto q/bj2/bb 8310 etc...

havent been able to figure it out...

When you go into BootLoader (Hold Power and Camera buttons and use stylus to push reset button) what does it say?

have you tried fashing a new radio?

I was thinking about it but I can't figure out how do to it without using a minisd card or whatever.
