Why Update:
This ROM update is intended for the AT&T Tilt only and users should not load or attempt to load this version on any other device as it may cause serious issues/damage.
This software update provides:
- Enhanced Bluetooth performance.
- Enables DTMF tones for the slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
- Improves overall device performance and stability.
- Includes Microsoft Adaptation Kit Update (AKU) 0.4.4.
This update does not have any video driver updates, so don’t be confused. This is not the “Big” update rumored to be coming in March for the Video Driver issue.

Please read the following important notes before starting the upgrade:
Before you proceed, please confirm that this software upgrade is a newer version than what is currently loaded on your device.
If it is the same version and your device is operating normally, there is no need to reload the software. To determine what version is running on your device, refer to the image left and note the ROM version, CPU, and Radio Version and then on your device, go to Start > Settings > System Tab > Device Information.Before you run the ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU), make sure you check and do the following first:
USB sync cable is connected to your device and PC to establish a connection with Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center.
The standby and hibernation modes are disabled on the computer.
All running applications on the computer have been closed.
Ensure that you device has a battery level of at least 50% (Start > Settings > System Tab > Power > Battery tab). If the battery “dies” during the upgrade process, there is a chance that it will not recover and will need to be sent to AT&T/HTC for repairs.
The update can take up to 10 minutes so set aside time when you will not be interrupted.
All data will be deleted from the device during the upgrade (music, pictures, 3rd party applications, etc); be sure to back up all of your data using Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center or the built in Sprite Backup utility prior to upgrading.
Note: If using the Sprite Backup, be sure to copy the backup file to a storage card or to your PC before proceeding with the ROM update.Do Not interrupt the upgrade process or press any buttons until the process has been completed (the device will reset itself when the update is done).
General Procedure on Installing the ROM Update
Back up your personal data from the Mobile Device to your computer using ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center or the Sprite Backup utility if you want to ensure you don’t lose any of your data.
On your computer, run the ROM Update Utility (RUU) to install the ROM update to your Mobile Device. (Click on the Installation Instructions link below for the detailed procedure on how to install the ROM Update).
Restore your personal data back to your Mobile Device using ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center or Sprite Backup. (Optional)
WARNING: During the upgrade process, do not attempt to make/receive calls, press any buttons on your device or disconnect the device from the USB cable as this will stop the update and your device will be rendered inoperable!!!
The upgrade process takes up to 10 minutes. It is recommended that you close all programs on your PC prior to starting the update program and do not open any applications or files while the update is in process. All personal data stored on the device will be lost. Make sure you save all pictures, videos, and important files to your PC prior to performing the update process.
