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

[jlsenter]

I have enclosed my link to the problems I have with this ROM upgrade. I am looking for suggestions other than bitting the bullet to purchase a new phone, or God help me, taking it down to Cingular to do a complete reflash if possible.

Any assistance is highly appreciated.

if you bother to read the posts u would know that the rom contain no boot loader.thats why you ipl i showing 1xxx

put the device into bootloader mode and reflash aofficial rom.

next time before posting post like this do some reading.

Sorry faria, your wrong.....that is not what happened as you have blasted me; for as my ipl was not 1xx as you stated. I was able to go back into the boot and flash back to 2.17. ABTY, I do read and have been doing flashes of all sorts of electronics for more years that I hate to admit to. Don't be so presumptuous. Not every one can be righteous :-)

if the rom read as 1.2 then its not the right rom

flashing an official rom that includes the bootloaders?

If you do this and then reflash with the rom you say screwed you your IPL should update.

This rom does not contain the bootloaders.

You may have to go buy a new battery (or borrow one that is charged at least 50% from a friend)

Start the device in bootloader mode while connected by USB by holding down voice tag and camera buttons while powering on. You should get the RGB boot loader screen with USB in the lower corner.

Flash a FULL 2.xx rom (preferably an official one from your provider), this should upgrade your IPL and SPL correctly. Then you can go back and re-flash this rom and all should be well.

From what you describe it looks pretty much exactly the same as happened to me earlier in the thread you linked. I had to go buy a new battery to get mine reflashed because I played with it so much with conflicting bootloader/OS/Radio versions that it went dead and would not re-charge in this state.

EDIT: Also if you IPL and SPL are different numbers this may indicate that you are not correctly CID unlocked (not 100% sure on this as it hasn't happened to me, but from what I read on these boards this is the impression that I get) If I were in your situation this is what I would do:
Downgrade to Button's 1.05 rom
run Lokiwiz02b and perform a CID unlock
Upgrade to a 2.xx carrier rom (pretty much everyone agrees to go with a carrier rom first)
Then upgrade to a 2.xx rom of your choice.

Zzan is putting you on the right path, yo do need to get your battery charged before you can flash though.

Also, just so you know when flashing cooked roms most of them use a hacked RUU that will always show the currently installed phone rom to be 1.2. This is so that you can freely flash between roms as the RUU will not normally let you flash to a lower rom version.

Regarding your comments to Faria, clam down. Your orignal post in the other thread is a bit jumbled and I can see where it is easy to think you might have been referring to IPL/SPL being 1.2 as you were not very specific.

When posting you will get a lot better help if you give as much info as possible and organize it clearly. For example say that the RUU showed you currently had version 1.2 Rom installed on your device then nobody thinks you are talking about IPL/SPL.

Finally, When you say things like "x's Rom screwed me" you're going to rub a lot of people the wrong way here (especially when the Rom is clearly marked as BETA). Remember that nobody forced you to flash the Rom and if you are as experienced at flashing as you say then you should have understood the risk you are taking every time you flash your device. Now you should to expect that risk to triple when you use anything marked as BETA. Maybe saying "Help, I'm having problems after flashing xxx Rom" would get you more assistance.

Take my advice with a grain of salt and realize that it is worth exactly what you paid for it so I'm not upset if you disregard everything I said.

this is what you posted;

http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon13.gif Cingular 2.26 Aku 2.3 Update - SCREWED ME
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.

and since u stated that u been flashing all sorts ,im suprised u did not know how to restore you device. or was it the first time in this device?

Thanks for the suggestions; as it now make sense to some of anomalies that I saw. I did go back into the boot and re-flash back to 2.17 with success. The whole reason I started on this path to begin with was because 2.17 was not seeing my 2G memory card.....or should I say "not installed" to be more precise. Then after the ill-fated 2.26 install and re-flashing back to 2.17, the 8125 now recognizes the 2G memory. The 2.17 release has been very stable for me and will stay that way......., besides, my pre-ordered 8525 arrives this Friday.

Kind regards,
and personal apology to Faria if I was too FIERY
