So I tried installing the 2.08 ROM on a new Cingular 8125 (less than a week old) and it didn't take. The radio parts upgraded but the OS stayed the same 1.8.11 WWE. This was on a CID locked device (I've never done it before).

Since the OS remained the same I did go ahead and CID unlock the device using Lokiwiz. After that I installed the 2.17 ROM and it did take it.

I havent tried upgrading to the 2.08 ROM again.. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

However, the one question I have is, does the 2.17 ROM have the push e-mail update in it? If not, then I will have to upgrade to 2.08, unless this doesnt have it either?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] philly fan:
It's not the same push as in the the later ROMS. It is not Direct Push perse'. I have used Direct Push and this isn't as quick. Quote the Willis never more.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
2.17 has push and is based on a newer OS build (the RTM verion of AKU2).

Hi I tried download either of the files and all I get is an error. Are the files still available for download? Thanks.

browse the FTP site and find out. it's not that hard...

*edit*

well apparently someone deleted all the roms out of the Wizard and Universal folder. so they need to be re-uploaded again.

roms on ftp

I went to download the rom and it is no longer there, can someone put it up.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rmeetze:
Also this will be my first time flashing the rom and I have a couple of questions.

Do I need to unlock the CID? Is it recommended?

Should the phone by fully charged?

And to install the ROM just plug in the usb cable and run the file or do I need active sync running?

Sorry for the newbie questions, just want to make sure I do not screw anything up. I downloaded the original rom for the 8125 just in case.

Thanks for all the help.

Re: roms on ftp

Check to see if they've been moved to the read-only directory. If not I'll upload them again tonight when I get home.

If pudmonkeys keep maliciously deleting stuff I'll ask the xda-dev peeps for a non-shared ftp login that won't allow deletes.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
If it's a brand-spanking new 8125, you don't need to CID unlock. You *DO* want to SIM unlock while still on your stock firmware though. But only if you anticipate changing carriers or you want to eventually sell the device as unlock (sometimes you can get a bit of a premium).

Good practice is to have the phone fully charged before flashing. During the flash process the battery does not charge, and losing power during a flash could brick the device.

Establish an activsync connection, then run the upgrader. It *should* kill activesync and begin the process on its own.

Good luck and let us know how you get along.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bdbx18:
Well, I tried 2.08 twice and still no os upgrade love.

And a2dp was the only thing I want, need and desired. :shock:

Nice stop is 2.17; at least I'll get some omap loving.

Thanks a bunch summiter for all your work.

You betcha I'll be checkin constantly to c if u have a new 2.08 fix.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bdbx18:
Something's not right.

Coming from the 2.08 install but with the 1.8.11 os, 2.17 is not updating the OS either.

It's getting late.

I think I'll try unlocking before I tried again tomorrow.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jse75:
And the verdict is...

So as mentioned above I applied summiter's original 2.17 update to my out of the box 8125 (*not* CID Unlocked), no problems.

I tried to overlay the new ROM update with the ringers, themes, omapclock, onto the above. The ROM update ran without a problem but when I rebooted, I had no themes, ringers, or omapclock program. The GetGoodLink and GetExpressMail were gone, however.

I then downgraded to the Cingular original ROM and CID unlocked using lokiwiz. First I did Unlock then I did CID Unlock (SuperCID).

I then reinstalled the new 2.17 Cingular rom update from summiter with the tones and themes.

Now it works! Hooray! :)

So I guess you DO need to CID Unlock the device first.

Unfortunately for those who did not do this already, it means downgrading back to the Cingular original ROM so you can run the CID unlocker. I don't know what changed but it is easy enough to CID unlock so you may as well go ahead and do it, for future upgrades ;)

jason

Addendum:

You can use SPB Backup to restore all your old applications from the original 2.17 install, onto this newer 2.17. However, it deletes the links to OMAPclock, and it puts GetGood back. So I think I will just start over with the application installs.

Great Work

you're the man....

installed this ROM on my 8125 (previously had the TMO on it.) works like a charm.

Installed TomTom as well (for some strange reason only 5.0 works for me... if i upgrade it just hangs..)

You may want to add this tool to the ExtROM which i found very useful for BT settings.. http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/. this adds 2 more ports to BT.( i am attaching the tool anyway)

Had Activesync issues while syncing with Exchange & got over it by disabling proxy settings.

Smartskey is a great tool.. can u add this too .. http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060

Can anyone here confirm that they have been sucessful upgrading from 2.17 to 2.08 and getting A2DP to work well?

If you can, please post, or at least PM me on how you did it. I haven't tried yet, only because I don't feel like reloading my phone if it fails.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bdbx18:
Jeez, I'm having connection issues galore.

I would love to flash back and forth but Activesync is just not seeing a connection in between flashes and then some.

I had to reinstall AS 4.1 more than a few times already to some success.

The PC reboots and soft reset helps in some instances.

The "USB device not recognized" is becoming my Blue SOD.

Any tips on what is going on?

I'm about to unlock before proceeding again to 2.08.

I never really have a AS problem before.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shanksv:
Technically 2.17 to 2.08 is a downgrade. 2.08 is a leaked out test version, but from what I can see the core OS has the same build number.

To answer your question, yes I have done it and A2DP works just fine. See my post here http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=44247. You will have to reload all your programs again though :( .

Re: Cingular 8125 users: 217 ROM w/ fonts, themes, oclock on

Whats the difference between these two versions? One better than the other? Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bdbx18:
Everything's all good now.

USB connection was a hub issue; maybe old settings were cached.

I flashed back to the original, unlocked everything this time and went straight to 2.08.

Everything Summiter promised is there, rings, omap and all.

A2DP works also!!

Though I'm getting a slight buzz which I think is my ht820 saying it needs more charge.

Summiter, thank you, thank you and thank you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Kanjibankers:
Same here, went back to original ROM, ran lokiwiz, and everything on the new ROM showed up great!

Can the omap be set to run all the time, or does it revert back when it goes idle?

Hey,

I've used the first one of the two ROMs to update my 8125. I have a question: can I use Bluetooth File Transfer Service with Bluesoleil USB dongle?

If not, is there a way to fix it?

Also I cannot send/receive files (like tones or pictures) via BT... This is really weird since most of BT enabled phones have this option...

Don't get me wrong, but it's kinda embarrasing when a guy shows off with his RAZR sending pictures and stuff and I can't...

HELP, PLEASE....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] MargaL:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
I don't think this functionality is available in stock WM5 devices. Perhaps a 3rd party app? On my HP hx4770, I can "send via Bluetooth", but this appears to be facilitated by an add-on; and I think the HP uses a Widcomm BT stack.

maann....so i did the 208 update, and nwo it's stuck at the align screen window -- i tap ANYWHERE and nothing happens...what should I do???

EDIT: okay, well when it starts at the middle crosshair allign, it wont' do anything unless i scribble all over the screen, then it eventually goes to the corner aligns, w hich work, but then goes back to the center align!!

edit2: aight, seems as though just the middle of the screen does not repond to screen taps anymore.....what's the deal?

edit3: ALSO, when ever i do a screen tap, scratchy noises come from the speakers.... is my $500 device ruined?

i was at the 2.17 rom previously, and am now at the 2.87 rom (the SPL is 2.08, where as the ROM is 2.87) and everything is as it should be. I can't wait to get my HT820 headphones so i can test A2DP. the only thing i miss with this ROM is allowing Network Updating of the time; it's not available in this rom :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Black-wolf:
Jrinco11: The resistors/transistors on your device are dead in the middle of your screen. I had the same thing happen to my Cingular 8125 and they had to send me a new one - luckily, I have "insurance" on mine, so if it does go bad, they have to replace it. If your device is less than a year old - contact your carrier and really chew them out about the problem - hopefully, they will replace it for free (or for the cost of S&H). If your device is older than that, you will probably need to deal directly with the manufacturer, who will tell you to contact the carrier, who will tell you to contact the manufacterer, and on and on. You might also be able to get it repaired at an electronics store - there are some on the web that can probably do it, though I don't know of any personally.

Make sure you restore BACK to your ORIGINAL ROM if you can - flashing your device with an unapproved ROM technically voids the warranty.

Hope this helps.. and sorry for your luck.

All: Becareful how "hard" you tap on your screen - I believe it is hard taps that are causing the problem. I highly recommend you get some screen protectors for your device. Those are also on the web - they will lessen the "impact" of your stylus on the screen (NOTE: That is NOT the ONLY reason that the screens may be going bad on these - it could be something with the sliding open and closed putting force on the edge of the screen (where the transistors are hidden under the edge)).

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jrinco11:
but how'd that happen suddenly the same time i did the rom upgrade? i never press hard on the screen, and i'm already using the screen protector :-(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Black-wolf:
I'd say it was bad circuitry built into the phone you have. My understanding is that this has been a common problem, esp. among the HTC Wizard type phones. I'd say it was just an unlucky conincidence - but I could be wrong - have you tried reflashing the orginal ROM back into the phone (if you can)? If not, try that and see what happens - personally, I doubt it'll fix the issue. If you don't have the original ROM, see if you can find it here in the forums, or maybe somewhere else, or, if it is similar to another ROM here on the forums, you can try that as well.

Good luck and God Bless!

Correct way to use the Clock 240 item

Hello,

If I understand right, I can run the Clock240 item in the Start-Programs button with no command line arguments and the clock speed will increase across the board to 240 MHz?

It will revert to stock speed when it goes into standby, or I can return it to normal with the Clock 200 item in the Program Files folder?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
it will always go back to default speeds when in standby and after "waking up", but if you set the link to a hardware button, just press the button after the device wakes up, it's that simple really.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] spiff72:
Thanks...

I just wanted to make sure that these weren't meant to be used like the launch-specific ones that you can use for specific applications.

I looked at the items, and it appears that they are already shortcuts.

For some reason I had been assuming that the omap program would only work when used with command line arguments launching programs.

I think you have answered my questions.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
good deal :) hopefully when they release an update for the OMAP clock utility, they'll have the ability to run the set speed AFTER you take the phone out of standby. hopefully...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] totempole:
Thanks for the clarification Summiter!

Does anyone else have the problem where the In Call volume control does not seem to work. This used to work fine in the stock ROM that cingular currently ships with. With the 2.17 ROM even with the volume slider all the way to the bottom the call volume is still maxed out.... This causes my speaker to distort.

Another problem I noticed is that when changing the input method from.. say... Onscreen keyboard to Block recognizer.. the switch takes around 10 seconds or so. This happens everytime i want to switch input methods.

Anyone have any clues?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
What I did for each of those speeds is create a shortcut with the "-clock" argument and speed. I figured those 3 speeds would be the most popular and anyone wanting to go higher is on their own..

I mapped the 252 to my camera button for those times when I want some extra horsepower. I find that having it reset to stock when going to standby is actually useful...so I only OC when needed and there's been little impact on battery.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] addicus:
Okay - I am a newbie (upgrading from a MPX220) so please don't get angry.

Do I have to unlock the sim before running these updates or unlock the carrier?

Thank You Summiter !!!

I installed the 2.17 version on my Cingular 8125 using the following instructions:

1. SIM Unlocked

2. CID unlocked

3. Installed

Worked perfectly!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
I just have too much free time. Or insomnia. Yeah, no free time, just insomnia.

You *should* CID unlock it, which is different than SIM unlocking. SIM unlock if your foresee wanting to use the phone on another carrier (either here, or perhaps travelling to a country that uses GSM)

CID unlock is what allows the installation of ROMs tagged for other carriers. In practice it's a godd idea to CID unlock even though others have reported that stock Cingular 8125s will upgrade without it.

Use awizard to CID unlock, then just run the ROM installer of choice.

Thank you Summiter for your great and easy to use program. I guess this is the key to using it for the new models. My old ROM was 8.1.1.1. The CID unlocker that worked for me was the Lokiwiz02b.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
The 2.17 ROM is based on the QTek AKU2 release. I stripped out the QTek customizations, added Cingular customizations from their shipping version, some ringers and themes, and packed it back up.

The 2.08 ROM is based on an older QTek release that has A2DP in it. Customization-wise it's the same as the 2.17, but the core OS is not the final AKU2 released from Microsoft. Reading the forums, it appears stable regardless of being pre-release.

Enjoy the new ROM and post if you have problems and whatnot and stuff.
