Cingular 2.26 Aku2.3 w/a2dp FULLY LOADED *BETA* **UPDATED**

[guyver2077]

So ive been away from the forums for a bit. Im still using your a la carte rom and i have had really no issues..

Has there been any new updates or releases? i have to backtrack and go through older pages.

[shogunmark]

I concur that the opendns entries help... a lot!

yes, cingular DNS SUCKS ALOT

[shogunmark]

Hi
WHen I click on the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID file i get the following errot.

"the procedure entry point cerapigeterror could not be located in the dynamic link libray RAPI.DLL

using windows xp media center.

Thanks

hmmm, thats coming from the computer... which version of activestink are you using?

[shogunmark]

I'm getting a "530 login incorrect" when I click the download link in the first post of this thread. I'm obviously logged into the forums as I see the link...is there something I am overlooking?

Thanks.

Cy

I just clicked the link to verify that it didnt get moved and it works.. so try this.. right click on the link and choose "Save Target As"

[shogunmark]

Ok, just flashed to this ROM this AM, but I think I have issues, and am not sure what has happened through the numerous updates I have performed on my Cingular 8125. I probably have tried almost every ROM out there. The ROM previous to trying this was the AKU 3.2 thats floating around here...previous to that was the last Official Cingular 2.25. Here are my specs....

At Boot Up...
IPL: 2.25
SPL: 2.25
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.26.10.2

About...
OS: 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)

Device Info...
ROM Version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
ROM Date: 6/7/06
Radio Version: 02.25.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12

Are these specs in line with this ROM, or am I missing something?

Also...after updating to this ROM, and the AKU 3.2, earlier this week...The update is completing at %100, and says to check the device for further setup (or whatever it says) but my device is not restarting itself automatically. It stays on the Red/Blue/Green screen. If I do a soft reset, it seems to complete the update process. I have never had this happen before with any updates.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.....Thanks

i had so many freaking issues with 3.2... but those look like the correct spec's for my latest and greatest public release so you should be good.. i would verify that there is am Ext Rom Installer icon in your programs menu

nope, your good for now, that is the latest and greatest public beta release.. most of the problem post's you see are from my beta tester's on my private rom.. trying to get all the bugs out before releasing to the public! everyone is going to be in for a treat with that one ;)

Yes, the Ext Rom Icon is in my program menu. Is there a reason why my IPL and SPL still show 2.25?

Has anyone else encountered problems with their device not automatically rebooting itself aftfer the update is complete?

[acyklopz]

Weird. Even if I try downloading the ROM using

wget ftp://xda:xda%40ftp@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/Shogun_A_La_Carte_Cingular_WWE_2.exe

I still get login incorrect. I was trying to download from an XP box using FF, then also using IE. I switched to our server but no joy. I'll try it from home later and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply.

my latest beta did not include an updated 2.26 bootloader, i didnt want G4 owners to brick their phone..

and there was only 1 other case where one person kept getting the rgb screen.. But he had a G4 and from the numbers you indicated you have a G3... i am still waiting on a pm from him to see what he did to fix it

even your link on here worked for me... let me know if doing it from home fixed your problem?

I am getting the following error when I try to load my 8125 with the newest official cingular rom after having use Molski's.

This NBF file can not be used on you PDA. Please get NEWER NBF file.

Is there anything I can do...or should i just load this ROM. I only wanted to go stock as I am selling the phone.

Good luck!

yes, cingular DNS SUCKS ALOTActually shogunmark, that opendns is quite nice. I'm making it my DNS forwarders on my Windows 2003 servers. Like the way that it fixes some typos, like I typed google.co and it found the right site, way cewl! Gonna test it for phishing..

Makes my 8125 much more responsive on the web, thanks again!

I did Downgrade to buttons rom and the SPL still shows 2.26. I guess I will try

This the ROM i tried loading and gave me this error..Thanks though

[Dr Puttingham]

I'm sure that you're running a G3 ROM... right? (ie no .00001 seen??)
If you downgrade to the 1.05 and it STILL reports 2.x IPL and or SPL then run the lokiwiz 2b. Look for the faria thread regarding this.

Good luck!

(and you said that you were running the molski ROM ....)

[acyklopz]

Odd, I still get the 530 login error from home. Using XP with FF behind a regular netgear firewall/router.

Any ideas?

PS: Finally got it to start downloading by copy/pasting the link into the IE address bar here at home.

CyWith IE you need to click on File then Login AS and put your info in there. With Firefox you need FireFTP. Best bet is to use a real FTP client ...

Just my 2 cents..

[jodogg7ny]

Hello All,
I have had no issues with this Beta ROM. Went back to an older ROM, Unlocked CID and SIM once again. This time I am positive that it worked.

Loaded Beta and have had no issues. Fast, reliable, no soft restarts out of no where, no sunpass issues. All software appears to work fine right now. When opening keyboard to send text message down arrow will not advance to message area. Using left key fixes this.

Everything is well.

[acyklopz]

I did get it by just right clicking the link in the first post and then pasting it into the IE address bar.

Now I get to root around and have fun with this new ROM. I just finished installing it.

Thanks again.

[slimsaturn]

Does this ROM not update the IPL? Cause after I loaded it the ipl stays at 1.05.

[jtatum]

The URL in the first post is wrong... it currently reads:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp@ftp.xda-developers...

there's an extra @ sign there, (@ftp) should be:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers...

can't wait to try it out, I had the problem mentioned a few pages ago where i applied this to a stock 8125. my IPL and SPL were so old, I thought I bricked the device. Rebooting to bootloader and loading the cingular update fixed it.

[guyver2077]

Ab
my latest beta did not include an updated 2.26 bootloader, i didnt want G4 owners to brick their phone..

and there was only 1 other case where one person kept getting the rgb screen.. But he had a G4 and from the numbers you indicated you have a G3... i am still waiting on a pm from him to see what he did to fix it

are u certain. I'm using your a la carte and ipl and spl show 2.26 at bootup

thats weird, i wonder how that happened... i copy and pasted all the links.. oh well, corrected... thanks

i have posted this several times already... if i could find the pages right now i would just copy and paste the links.. however..

i did not include an updated IPL/SPL so you will have some very very slow issues.. i did not want to brick anyone's G4 ... you will need to flash a version with an updated IPL/SPL then flash my a la carte version, then everything will be good!

does the *unhappy wife rom* requires a passcode to use it I have uploaded it from the site as a rar file and when I tried to extract it. It asked me for a password for the encrpyed file yes it does.not to put you off but that rom is for beta testers only.it can be very confusing for newbies,.thats why it is protected,plus we dont want people asking the same questions again and again because they did not enrol in testing from the beguining.but if u are sure that can contribute,and know you way about roms maybe we can help you out.

anyway the rom will be out soon............

[acyklopz]

OK, here is some feedback in case it might help somebody else. I tried installing the current beta and it worked except that the phone part of the 8125 was not available. I could not access phone functions at all even though the PDA functions were there.

I was using Summiter's 2.24 ROM so the IPL/SPL were older versions. I grabbed the 2.26 cingular ROM from Shogun/Putt? and then reloaded the beta and now everything seems OK. I'll have to play with it some more but it seems pretty fast.

I'm glad I made this move right before the next version comes out! ;-)

Cy

PS: WTF! No bubble breaker?

[jonathanrobertbolton]

Have to be careful not to hijack the thread - but thanks for the DNS info.

Seems to work pretty smoothly. Still not as fast as using the Cingular Proxy, which usually hits over 200 kbps, but doesn't allow me to stream my XM radio.

Thanks again for the tip. Public beta still all good.

While using the WM5NewMenu app I changed my button number 5 config (was Comm Manager), to whatever the default was for the app. I cannot get this button back to the Comm Manager. I have tried resetting the button to Comm Manager under the 2nd page of the app, items page. Cannot change it. Beta ROM.
Thanks,

i just went to WM5New menu, created a new menu, closed it, verified that it worked, then went to system and buttons, took button 5 which was still on comm manager, changed it to contacts, closed it, verified that it worked and it pulled contacts, i then went back and made 5 comm manager and voila, back to comm manager.

Guys
is there any indication of when the beta that you guys are working on is going to be released?
I force myself to only play with the phone on weekends and am wondering if its worth waiting for or taking on the one from post1 of this thread?

thanks alot

bhayani

[NeoPlex]

its a private beta for my testers.. and they will be coming down shortly as soon as i get the new OS from faria... when it comes out of the private test phase then we will put out one that is not password protected


thx for info

[ZzFDKzZ]

This is by far the fastest and most stable rom I have ever try. But one big problem is that it consumes a lot of battery life. I was on the phone for no more then 2 mins and it drop from 100% to 96%. Then I call my voicemail and probably was on for again no more then 2 mins and it drop down to 93%. 1 hour later without even using the phone at all I check and it was down to 86%. Is anyone else having this problem?

Also Activesync keeps popping up. I have always use vBar to close and see what programs are running. Everytime I close activesync a few mins later it pops up. May this is why my battery life decreases a lot.

I have noticed this as well. I assumed it was due to omapclock plus, I'm overclocking to 240. I have since discontinued it and am at 180mhz still to early to tell if there is a difference. I keep constant tabs on what programs are running and close out all open programs when done, Definitely using more batter than my last Rom (summiter 2.17)

i personally think its gonna be a few weeks yet, i am waiting on a new one from faria so i can make my changes, then get it out to my testers, and i only have one day off this weekend.. so i would say at least a week, maybe 2, depending on the bugs, etc

This is by far the fastest and most stable rom I have ever try. But one big problem is that it consumes a lot of battery life. I was on the phone for no more then 2 mins and it drop from 100% to 96%. Then I call my voicemail and probably was on for again no more then 2 mins and it drop down to 93%. 1 hour later without even using the phone at all I check and it was down to 86%. Is anyone else having this problem?

Also Activesync keeps popping up. I have always use vBar to close and see what programs are running. Everytime I close activesync a few mins later it pops up. May this is why my battery life decreases a lot.

i havent noticed an excessive battery drain, and mine is overclocked to 252 constantly.. but your not being able to close active sync correctly could be due to wclose.exe program in the start up folder, this is the one that gives you the red x and asks you if you want to close yes/no... well it dont seem to work on active sync

[faria]

this is total caos my links are all dead to this site.shite

[ZzFDKzZ]

My clock is at 204mhz. I have always used that speed on previous roms. I remove wclose maybe it was that. I always use vBar anyway.

[jodogg7ny]

I have noticed this as well. I assumed it was due to omapclock plus, I'm overclocking to 240. I have since discontinued it and am at 180mhz still to early to tell if there is a difference. I keep constant tabs on what programs are running and close out all open programs when done, Definitely using more batter than my last Rom (summiter 2.17)

I have noticed the same thing. Battery life is dropping fast, but this ROM is awesome!

[Dr Puttingham]

I know! Site is faster and looks better but the fact that the links no longer work but "error 404" is a real PIA! Takes searching to a whole new level!

[dcdivenut]

I have noticed the same thing. Battery life is dropping fast, but this ROM is awesome!

I am not sure if ti the case with this ROM, but I notiecd when I upgraded to 2.25 ROM from Summitter that the battery life seemed to suck at first but then leveled off. I know that some of it had to do with the direct push addition (I upgraded from 1.8) but to sum up the gist of several long threads I think that with a major new ROM it simply takes time to adjust. I knwo that makes no logical sense, but it seems to hold true.

well i dont know about that, lol i use mine excessively, between calls and mail and internet, gps, wifi.. its amazing my battery last more than an hour, lol.. i dont know if it would get better after time, since i am part creator i am always making changes, reflashing.. or hard resetting (damn freeware)

[faria]

due to major f*kup in one of the cab files that contain critical rom settings the next OS will be delayed for a couple of days.sorry guys. plus my test wizard is failing in the usb conector.to many plugins and outs.

This is a known issue with upgrading ROMs...not to worry. Anytime you upgrade ROMs the system needs a few full power-up and drain cycles before it regulates battery usage or some crap like that. Anyway, power it up, use it til it nearly dies, repeat, then everything will be fine.

hmmm I have upgrade plenty of times and never had this happen. But I'll try that. So I should leave it till like 5% charge it to 100% then drop it to like 5%?

i have been using this rom for about 3 -4 weeks now i guess.. and i have 2 issues ..

the internet connections is awful.. i checked all the setting so i am unsrue why and think the issue resides deaper.. it consistanly drops or takes a very very long time to connect.. (this is via cingular data). If i hook into my wifi all is good.

the second i just noticed and never really noticed before.. but when i "lock" my phone the clock stops.. once i unock it refreshes to the correct time..

other than those i think its great and very snappy..

I dont have any add on applictions installed either as i was waiting on the final release with you guys but i am considering going back to the summiter ROM as the DATA connection is driving me nuts..

anythoughts ?

I've had various connection issues with this ROM that are quite bizarre. Right now I'm using the UWC with the latest T-Mobile GSM to see if that helps.

I don't lock my device so's I have no experience with that clock issue.

just out of curiosity if you dont lock your phone what do you use to keep the buttons from being pushed or from dialing out when its holstered ?

the connection thing dr. p already covered, and its not the rom, its just the awful DNS servers used by cingular on the isp.cingular connection... as far as the clock stopping... that is strange, cause i know that mine didnt do it i dont think... i only used my latest public beta for about a week, and i lock my phone all the time, but dont remember an issue with the clock stopping.. or i could just have a horrible memory... but i dont think it did it

if its not the rom how come i only have issues with this rom ?

and i think you need to check your memory than.. it does it and i cant figure out why.

Dr. P is using a different beta that wasnt made for cingular.. nor is it publicly available

which of the roms are you using? there are 2 versions on the ftp server... i just loaded my latest public one "A La Carte".. i went into the settings and made sure my screen wouldnt turn off, then locked my phone and waited.. it changed time just like it should.

I lock my phone all the time and the clock is working properly too. I'm using "A la Carte" in a Cingular 8125 (G4). Its working by the book. Thanks folks!

i am using the one you mention... and its no big deal but i am telling you it doees it and it doesnt refresh until its unlocked.. yet it will tell me i have new mail ... so its almost like the title bar freezes if locked... very odd

hmm odd now my phone will make me seam silly..

i just watched the time change when locked... funny ..

now i wonder if its after a certain amt of time .. oh well ..

well the today screen does time out after a certain amount of time, which could cause your time to stop updating... i also think.. which i am not certain, but think when you power off the display or it goes into standby i stops refreshing until you bring it out of standby...

[hubono]

true that.
phone sleeps, forgets, then wakes up, checks time :p

This complaint came up frequently a few months back when summiter and others were releasing a bunch of new ROMs... couldn't find many references to it, but didn't search that long. Try this link...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=272385&highlight=wizard+upgrade+battery+life

I seem to recall its something about the battery meter not calibrated to measuring the battery correctly--it doesn't know how "much" battery is there, so when the charge drops a little, it initially overestimates the percentage drop until it is drained a few times and self-calibrates. You have to let the device drain until it shuts down for the device to recognize the limits of the battery.
I don't claim to fully understand this, just that this was the advice given previously and I'm passing it on to help you out. Good luck.

[acyklopz]

OK, so now that I am back after all the 404 issues...

It appears that BB is on my phone but the icon is not in the games folder anymore. I can play it directly. Weird.

ANY help with ROM stuff would be greatly appreciated as i am a complete and total nub to ROMs. Thanks.

I think i may have noticed this clock problem a few times. Its really not a big deal as the time updates quickly.

My data seems slow as well. I think it may have been faster before i upgraded. Besides these two things this build has been solid.

Besides the data/edge prob (if it is even a prob).. ive noticed improvement in everything else. Even when connected via activesync.. the files tranfer allot faster now.. Wifi works better then ever and picks up signals quickly.

cingular sucks.. have you added the open dns settings to your device on the myisp connection? opendns.com

this has been covered on many threads and on here several times.. but im positive this will solve your slow problem

Thanks for posting that... Faria has been working very hard on this next private beta.. hopefully this will be the last beta and i can release something for the general public!!!

Also i wanted to note that i will be accepting some new beta testers... some of mine are M.I.A. and cant follow simple instructions... So if you want to be included in this next test please *PM* me with your email address, and your IPL/SPL numbers (basically i just need to know if its G3 or G4)

Anyone who makes a post on this thread requesting to test and not a PM will NOT BE CONSIDERED

[stainlesspc]

Tried your Rom today.
SO far so good :)
Only one question
Has anyone had a problem with the appointments not transfering from outlook 2003 or have I got something set wrong.
I am not talking just not showing up on the today screen I mean they are GONE in the calender but I have them in outlook :)

Hello.

Problem started when I used the following rom.

NEW Custom 2.26 ROM with CF2-SP1 Flash7 Java Rings Themes...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700

So I downgraded to the offcial i-mate rom. I then upgraded to your rom. Which I love by the way.

Here is what it's showing now.

IPL: 2.16
SPL: 2.16
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.26.10.2

I just notice that the phone will turn off and back on when the battery is around 18% or less. It will keep doing this as a cycle. Any advise?

uhhhh.. ummm... charge your battery, lol... seriously, that is a strange issue... you got me on that one... im not even sure what would cause that...

however i have an idea...

Does anyone know at what battery level the low battery alert comes on?

[shogunmark]

have seen some posts on other roms where people were having issues and it seems that if you do a hard reset then flash your phone it could solve your problem... its something i usually do anyway... just to be on the safe side, but its worth a shot

I'm calibrating the battery now. I'm going to let it drain all the way and then do a full charge.

I'm doing this because the battery drains so fast. Hopefully it will fix my issues. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for all the hard work. So far this is the best organized and fast rom.

I have selected my testers for this round.. when i work out this one little bug with faria i will be sending everyone who PM'd me correctly an email... i will not post a list of who is testing.. you will just have to watch your email.. also add my email address so it doesnt get caught up by your spam filter shogunmarkATmail2webDOTcom (i hope you can figure that out.. didnt want it to get nabbed by web bots)

By the way.. everyone is in for a REAL treat with this one.. Everyone should bow down to faria, lol!!!! without him everyone would have abandon me by now, ha ha ha

Yep everything is set to sync but nothing.

Plus for some reason I have have a horrible time with random resets.

Maybe it was some of my tweaks are not compatible with your rom ?

Just a word of advice is all!

I've been watching my MEMORY --> PROGRAM, and it keeps shrinking as the minutes go by. At some point in the day, I have to reset my device and the PROGRAM MEMORY goes back to around 20MB. When it hits 1MB my device will ask me to close some apps and hang... and at that point i have to restart the device.

What is this PROGRAM MEMORY (START --> SETTING --> MEMORY --> Program (on the right hand side of the menu)) for?

I especially noticing the rapid decline of the memory when i installed Yahoo Go!

thx.

Also, I just ran lokiwiz's CID-Unlock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474) seems to be fine but I don't have another carriers sim to test it.

Should I just follow these instructions?You should be good to go!

Now my splash screen says:

Is GSM supposed to be there?

EDIT: I ran through the initial alignment/setup, the device rebooted and now is pretty much locked at the password entry screen. Should I pull the battery? No network connection either...

the ipl/spl is wrong.. my roms did not include an ipl/spl (i didnt want g4 owners to brick their phone), you will need to flash an official rom then flash my rom, then you will be good to go.

[shogunmark]

wow.. alot happened while i was away sick with the flu.... so let me try to make this up to the people having issues with the current public release...

i would hate for people to think i have abandoned them while having issues..

Since there is a lot of thread to go through, let me make this simple, IF ANYONE IS STILL HAVING AN ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED BY SOME OF THE OTHER MEMBERS, THEN PLEASE PM ME AND I WILL ASSIST YOU

i will be home in a few hours to answer your questions, but i will get everyone answered tonight!!!

has anyone else noticed that sometimes when you press the messaging button that it comes up saying email but it does not open???

also how is a2dp working for every one??


thanks for the awesome rom

[Xoom]

The rom seems alot faster than the stock rom that i recieved from cingular, thanks!

One problem though, I used EXT_ROM Installer and installed a couple of programs that I wanted (total commander 2, wififofum .net 2.0 etc...) The phone reboot and the programs still do not exist. I see a folder of\windows\.net 2.0 but it's empty..

Any help?

I have had that problem with previous roms too. But I notice it only happens when I setup a Gmail forwarding's to my cell phone. If I disable the forwarding's, it will start working agian.

.net should be cool, the folder is empty, and check your programs menu for a new folder, possibly labeled WIFI, etc

the link on the first page should work, i updated it after they moved the rom on the ftp, if clicking it dont work, try to right click and choose save target... also if your not using IE then try using that.. people with firefox, etc has reported issues getting to the ftp period

I have read this entire thread over time but I'm a noob and don't always know if what I'm reading applies to me at the time that I read it. I don't remember seeing my question addressed in my reading. That being said, I didn't know until recently that with my setup I wouldn't be able to use AVRCP. Will this ROM be using the Microsoft BT Stack or the Widcomm stack. I'm hoping that it's the Widcomm Stack. I've bought Pocket Player 3.0 and currently use MortPlayer. To be able to use AVRCP I understand that I need the Widcomm Stack. Curses on Bill Gates.

Not quite true. I use pocket player 3 with the MS BT stack without issue. You will just need the WMP plugin found on their site: http://www.conduits.com/products/player/plugins.asp

To answer your question about which BT stack is on the ROM, I don't know but i suspect MS.

if you work for cingular you could just sell 10 (8125, 2125 or 3125) and then get a free 8125 ;)

I have tried it before but I was greener than I am now. I'll try it again. Thanks for the reminder.

I've taken to listening to mp3's with a jabra bt110 earpiece. Without AVRCP, it's just not worth the trouble.

Why do most players use Widcomm when it comes to AVRCP? You'd think Microsoft's 800 pound gorilla would command more respect.

Is there any way to get Widcomm onto my WM5 Wizard? If so, how?

it appears that i have bricked my phone... its weird ive been running this rom for well over 2 weeks and been loving it. when just yesterday my phone's screen turned white and then shut off and i could not get it on again. then later in the day it came back on with out me doing anything i thought maybe it was an issue with the programs on the phone so i did a clear storage and reflash of the rom and everything seemed fine for the rest of the day then later that night my phone did a repeat white screen and then dead. i have not been able to get it to come back on. has anyone had this problem and/or know of a solution?

the battery is fully charged(i charged it in my sisters 8125)
and have tried resetting it both soft and hard
as well as trying to start up with out the memory card and even without the sim

Thank you so very much for your antisipated assistance.

wow, that almost sounds like a hardware issue.. it sounds like your 8125 actually died... i would call that in for warranty exchange.. and try to flash a stock rom before doing so.. try to get into bootloader by holding down the camera button while powering on, if you get the Red Green Blue screen then try to flash a stock rom, if that doesnt work just call warranty and tell them what your phone did, but just tell them you were running their latest rom

[shigeo]

thank you i will try this if anyone else comes up with any more ideas send them my way

what sucks most is that out of the 5 of 8 people that carry the 8125 in the office i work for i am the only one that has not dropped or otherwise damaged their 8125...

just like anything electronic.. no dropping necessary for a malfunction.. but if you do happen to drop it on the bottom end on hard concrete (like i did) then you can make bets on how high the sd card popped out, lol

yeah i know how that goes one of my coworkers on a biz trip dropped his 8125 on the side walk breaking the touch part of the screen so he has been learning to use it with out the touch till his replacement comes in. =p

am a stuck using the imate pda2k till i can get my 8125 fixed..

Hi,

I have read nearly all this thread and there is a lot of info. Only had my 8125 for two weeks and just got the Motorola HT820 BT Stereo headset.

All I really want to do is get the 8125 to work with the HT820. Don't need any other mods or programs at this point (that I am aware of) and I don't want to impair any of the phone's current features (bt voice dialing, etc.)

It appears that to do this I primarily need to add an A2DP profile. It gets confusing after that. As far as I can determine, the steps to add an A2DP are:

1. SIM unlock the phone (lockiwiz version 02b or 03b?) Looks like the 02b also CID unlocks phone but not the 03a?
2. CID unlock the phone (looks like this is necessary to be able to update the firmware. If lokiwiz 03b doesn't do it then what should I use?)
3. Install the firmware that includes an A2DP profile (Looks like there is a summiter v2.17 and Shogun's "A-La-Carte". Do either of these automatically unlock the phone making step 1 or 2 unnecessary?)

Confusing also is that I find posts that say you need to downgrade your firmware to 1.8(?) and it seems like this issue, solutions and this thread have developed (and changed) over time. I also find talk about an AKU(?) which looks relevant. It's really hard to put all the info together to know what specifically to do to get the HT820 headphones to work. Would it be possible to get a step-by-step for us confused noobs? :confused:

Thanks,

swjtx

swjtx, please don't thread hijack. Plus there is all the info you want already here on the forum.

BUT. From what I understand since you already running a 2.* series ROM, you can flash directly to this one. I can't tell if you are on a G3 or G4, I'd guess G3 since your IPL and SPL numbers don't end in 0001. So, find lokiwiz here on the boards, read all about it and perform a SuperCID if you want. Then you are free to flash anything you want on there.

[swjtx]

ekinnee,

You think that was a thread hijack? I thought it was pretty much on-topic so sorry. Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can find other threads. Finding out what I want to flash seems to be the hard part.

Only slightly, as most of the stuff is covered elsewhere. So far my favorite ROM is the one in this thread. Seems to be quick and stable here. Whatever you do, don't freak out during the flash when it hangs near the end. Just let it finish.

Just for your info.

Since updating to your rom version 2.26.10.2 WWE when it first came out my phone has locked up twice.
The 2nd time was tonight and the first sympton is the touch screen doesnt work.
All locked out of the phone so you do a reset and it sets the phone time to 12.00 and sets the date to i think it was the 6th June.

Any ideas?

Also how do I get the time to be in the 24 hr format?

[dratliff]

I successfully updated to Shogun_A_La_Carte_Cingular_WWE and subsequently updated to 2.47.11 radio rom, but my IPL & SPL still show 2.25.

first person to experience any kind of lockup like that....

and your time problem, go to settings, system, regional settings, time, timestyle H:mm:ss tt and you will go back to a 24hr format

[ekinnee]

So this is by far the best ROM I've used. I did notice Shogun, that you mention merging 3.2 in? What's the status on that?

Also, has anybody noticed having to re-align your screen more often?

[davidlucas]

With reference the time I tried changing what you said and it made no difference, still doesnt show 24hr format.
The lock up's are unusual it never happened before the flash and has only happened twice since.
I cant say if there was anything leading to the lockup as the 2nd time I had only used the phone 5 minutes beforhand and then put it on the desk.
Its weird how it defaults the time and date, the only reason I knew about it the first time was because I missed an appointment and couldnt understand why as it was in my phone, then noticed the time was wrong went to change it and realised the date was also wrong. Hence why I didnt get reminded.

Other than that the roms brilliant, I know you have changed it since the first one but its good for me. The phone is so much more user friendly and those apps are great.

You should look in the Upgrade area here for the Radio ROM Update, it will update you radio for your phone. I did it, and i get a lot better reception on my phone after losing signal. As far as upgrading your ROM, this is probably one of the best out there, and it is still in beta so if you can hold out on the it for a while and let them work the bugs out.

[DJKk786]

Thanks thankins. I had a feeling thats what I needed. I'll look around on here for a Radio upgrade, I'm sure i'll find something for the 8125. should i back up my stuff even tho it will just be a radio upgrade?

if your using my latest public beta then you could re-flash, i had re-packaged it with the new radio.. or you can just download the new radio on the server, check my thread on here... if you reflash the whole rom, then yes you will lose your stuff, if you just reflash the radio then no you *shouldnt* lose your stuff

it is possible that spb could have overwritten some of the stuff on there.. and it could have even possibly cause the issue with the comm manager.. i would maybe do a comparison test, do a hard reset, fully check the out the features in the software and the comm manager, then run spb and see what all changes.. SPB is great backup software when restoring to the same rom, but can cause issues when changing roms..

Hi - I've found the info on your threads really interesting - New owner of 8125 from previous 3125 - Problem is no stereo BT for my BT logitech head phones lke I had on the 3125 -

Years ago I flashed, bricked & then some how saved my Toshiba genio - don't want to go through that experience again -

I paid the "No committment" $499 price for my 8125 and don't want to brick it - or even come close -

I don't think I even know how to flash a ROM anymore -

Quetion - is the an program App. that will give BT stereo without a ROM flash?

Great work &

The rom is great and I've had no dropped calls.

[xultar]

I have noticed that the sound volume seems unusually low. I can barely hear a call. Anyone else notice this issue? I first thought it was my device but I'm beginning to think otherwise.

I have used his ROM now for over a month and havent noticed any volume issues. Have you tried flashing to another ROM and seeing if that fixes the problem?

[tkscustomcomplete]

Tried several times to install the rom upgrade for my cingular 8125 phone.Tried putting it straight thru to my phone,got a message on my phone saying; cannot connect using current settings.Tried putting it on my computer and transferring it to my phone,still cant connect.What would be the best way to install?I have the Jabra BT620s headphones,need the A2DP & AVRCP profiles.I'm computer il-lit-rate,thanks for your patience. . .

The reason you are getting this error is cause you are trying to update your phone which is a 4G and the ROM Update is 3G, and i am not certain but pretty sure that shogunmark and the gang are still working out the bugs in the 4G ROM.

I recently asked this thread how I could get BT stereo to my Logitech BT headphones without the risk of this newbie bricking my phone with a ROM flash - (Even though I've flashed a pDA before) -

Your reply above works Fantastic!

I am grateful to you -

I'll still follow the your Roms prgress because it sounds great also - but you did great "prescribing" just what this "8125 newbie" requested - your Karma won't run over your dogma anytime soon-

Thank you -

let me say one thing about this... G4's SUCK!!! dont know why they have to be so difficult.. i guess it would be easier if i had a G4.... those things are the reason i almost lost site of my project... but will be getting back on track.. 4 days off from work.. gonna correct whats wrong with the current UHWC beta then give G4 another shot... But i swear if i had a G4 i would have called cingular warranty by mail and told them its not acting right and get me refurbed G3

[Jodemas1234]

I am a newbie so bare with me please. I upgraded my 8125 and worked perfectly. No problems at all. I just bought another one and try to upgrade it too but looks like it did not work.

Right now when it boots it shows this:
ipl 1.08
spl 1.08

os 2.26.10.2

and for some reason the GSM does not shows neither the phone works.

When it boots up for some reason it does not detects the USB cable since I tried to connect it to try to upgrade it again.

Last thing is that the battery icon at the bottom right corner shows as it was connected to a power source even though it is not.

I will appreciate your help.

Thanks

You need to flash a full 2.x rom first then flash this one. This one was made G4 safe and does not include the bootloaders. You can't flash a 2.x rom into a 1.x bootloader as I found out earlier in this thread. Your battery will go dead quickly if you keep playing with it as it will not charge in this state. You will have to boot into bootloader mode (hold down voice and camera while powering on (I think) you should see the RGB screen with USB in the lower corner) with the USB cable intact and flash a 2.x rom that includes the bootloaders. At that point you can reflash with this rom as normal and all will be well.

[cptcafne]

So has anyone gotten this to load on a G4 device, and which is the latest ?

[bhayani]

G4? I have , and it runs fine
the only problem i have is that when you tap messages on the today screen it doesnt work
the title and the soft options on the bottom work but the screen doesn't.

but thats too small a problem to worry about, the rest of this rom is ACE.

[davidlucas]

Has this rom now died?

[faria]

Has this rom now died?no

we all have been buzy with life ,wife kids etc, and motherf"ker computer and hardrive failures.[drop mine in the floor,shit]

about g4 devices.

have anyone asked this question to himself?
why does the official roms HAS a matching ipl/spl and OS?the imei also interacts with ipl/spl ,cid and radio.
because they work togheter,in g3 devices it seems not to make much diference.but in g4 devices i bet it does.
the reason that g4 devices were intrduced was because of this site.so many briked phones went back that they decided to to somethig about it.their solucion? the g4 security.
regards

[vpu2]

Shogunmark,

I've been searching, without much luck, for something I saw somewhere on here, but can't seem to find it now. It had a way to fool the upgrade process into thinking the rom you are flashing is lower than the one you are trying to flash, pretty much no matter what rom you are using. It involved copying a RUU file, changing the .exe upgrade file to .rar, etc........

I've tried that process, but it doesn't seem to work, could you be so kind as to enlighten me on this process, how it's done, and what's used?

Thanks,
vpu2

[davidlucas]

Faria,

I take it it was removable,Hardrives dont seem to bounce well they do they.
If it was a Maxtor you probably got clicking heads now, (Oh Dear)

Buy a seagate we sell loads of them and failures are very low, saying that thou they have recently bought Maxtor out and both Seagate and MAxtor drives now look extremly similar.

[fitbb]

Also another problem is that my calls just hang up after 3-4 mins. My signal bars does not change when it hangs up. So its not like I lose service.

If you are using Push mail like Emoze it will disconnect your phone to update or sync. Could be other such programs doing so

What does my 8125 gain from this ROM? - nOOb Question

[DonS]

I upgraded to this ROM yesterday and then flashed the phone with the 2.47.11 radio ROM.

Most everything is working well except for Google Mobile Maps. When I go to www.google.com/gmm it says my device is not supported. It allows me to try two generic versions. One for a high end phone and one for a consumer phone.

I tried the version for a high end phone and it will display the street views, but not the satelite view. It says this device is not capable of displaying a JPEG. Using the standard Cingular 2.25.11 ROM Google Maps recognizes my phone as an HTC 8125 and I can download a version that allows all the features to work.

Is there something in the registry that can be set so that Google recognizes my phone as an HTC 8125 and works correctly?

Cool I remember during the summer Google Maps wouldn't work at all. I have the Shogun rom and I just went to that site. I chose the high end phone option and your right can't see the Satellite view.

Will Unhappy Wife's Club ROM be released soon?

edit:
oops, i needed to reload my browser, there were more pages! Sorry....

[jlsenter]

I guess I needed a reason to upgrade to the HP6925 as this update screwed me up big time. Everything appeared to be find during the update....just a very long time to reboot and setup. After setup and reboot again, very slow. The telephone function is completely gone. Icon is there, just nothing happens. Additionally appears to be processing allot of STUFF? as the processor seems to be being tasked as the screen taps are very inconsistent. I tried to restore to my 2.17 AKU2 ROM without success. The USB is no longer operative at all. I have tried to use the IR port, but it is too flaky, and bluetooth is bluetooth....no consistency; can't active sink here either. It no longer tells me about the battery, just empty information. No lights to even tell if it is charging in the cradle, or even just a power supply.

What is really bizarre, is when I tried to restore 2.17 for IR, it read the ROM as 1.2.....someone switch the LINKS load???? IR just bombs after it starts to initiate the load. Then have to go through recovery by removing battery.

Like pissing in a can with a 40mph wind :-(

HELP I HAVE TRIED ALL RESOURCES........lucky I backed up all my data, as I would have been SCREWED even more.

jlsenter

[jlsenter]

Nope....battery not charging in USB cradle or power supply. Unit now totally DEAD. Someone have $300 to help me get a new phone :-(

[shogunmark]

This particular problem has been tackled many times on this board... taking the time to read will save you tons of headaches in the future... First of all with any cooked rom on here there is a disclaimer that it may or may not work and it might even brick your phone... However, your particular problem is easily solveable if you take the time to read... as stated previously.. I DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2.XX BOOTLOADERS, i did not want people with a G4 device to brick their phone... Taking the time to read this you would have noticed that and also noticed the solution... Now when you downgrade to a 1.x rom to unlock it etc, you have to flash a rom with the updated bootloader (i usually tell people just to flash an official OEM rom) after doing that it will update your IPL/SPL to 2.xx from there you can flash any rom you want with no problems.. This is the last time i am going to offer this help, i cant count how many times i have helped people with this... i will even lay it out real nice for you and will type slowly so that everyone can understand...

1. Download the official cingular rom from www.htcamerica.net (http://www.htcamerica.net)
2. turn off your phone
3. hold down the camera button while turning on (this will place you in the bootloader.
4. plug your phone into the usb cable (after doing so you will see USB on the lower left hand side of the screen, if you dont see it look on the other side, maybe you had right and left mixed up)
5. run the official update.
6. after its successful make sure your phone works correctly
7. plug the phone back into the USB and now run my rom
8. after its done everything should work as intended
9. then sell your phone on ebay for something simplier and easy to use, may i suggest a firefly (http://www.fireflymobile.com/) something that doesnt involve lots of reading.

Glad to see ya back! How's the 8525?

this thing is smok'n.. however the UMTS coverage in st. louis is spotty and unstable.. but then again its not officially up yet either... and for having a 400meg processor its a little slower than i imagined. But a d@mn nice phone.. and the keyboard layout is different and weird to adjust to after using the 8125

Well the guy does have a personal life, and i think that his life probably is a little more important than finishing up a ROM so that you can use it for a week and then flash to a newer one.

Seems to me that the people at Microsoft and Cingular are getting paid to write fast stable ROM's and you see the shit they put out. This guy is taking time out of his personal life to create a ROM for people like you who have the audacity to sit here and gripe and complain about how long its taking; did we mention he's not being paid? You're probably one of those people who think they're too good for minimum wage; so you just sit at home waiting for someone to come to your house and offer you a job making 70 grand a year.. The least you could do is be patient and show some respect. Maybe you should become an elite programmer and write your own ROM, you could call it "skiddyROM"

[porterx]

You guys make me laugh. I was just stating my opinion. Get over yourself. I have never flashed. Just look at my signature. I was looking forward to this being my first flash because of the traffic and excitement that this post was causing. I'll not reply to this post again so don't bother.

its no wonder why some people turn away from these boards...

So, let me just stop my busy life to satisfy you? I will just need you to explain to my pregnant wife (who is due in about 2 weeks), my 1yr old daugher(whome i only see 2 hours a day) and my 4 and 6yr old step-daughter(whom i only see on weekends when i am off work) why i cant spend time with them, while you are at it go ahead and explain to my employer who works me 40+ hours a week that i need to take some time off so that i may please you, and if your gonna go through all of that trouble could you please compensate me for my time? After all of that i should be able to have a rom for you in a few days...

[shogunmark]

and thanks to everyone else for the back up! after reading my last post you will soon understand the whole delay! and do apologize for the delay! If anyone thinks they are up to the challenge of completing the rom i can give you the latest beta to fix the broken stuff and complete it!

walking with giants...

i dont know what guys like that expect grumbling and wineing about not getting updates. its not your job to do this for us, you are just an awesome guy that has the tallents to help us out. I as well as all my buds here appriciate everything you have done for us and the forum as a whole.

if people have complaints about not haveing rom updates here they should go call microsoft and the device manufacture.

again my crew thanks you, your wife and family for all your hard work providing us with great roms.

Well I may be speaking out of turn but I know that ShogunMark upgraded to a 8525, so I am not sure how much more is going to happen with this phone. I personally am running the latest Molski.biz (based on a strong recommendation from a Dr. I trust) and I have to say that it is a great ROM. It is pretty clean as far as extra add-ins but that gives you more room to install what you want. Rock solid as far as reliability and quick to boot.

your right, i did upgrade, but i also wanted to finish this rom, faria can back me up on that one.. i contact him after i got the 8525 and told him that i still wanted to finish this project and is still very interested in helping me to finish it... just time for me is the issue

I have Cingular US service and it works just fine immediately after flash. You will have to search the forums for the Cingular gprs/mms cabs or go to the cingular site and use the support section there to find the steps to re-configure your MMS/GPRS settings, nothing major and only takes a minute or two to do.
