2.17 ROM Download?

Ok, I give up! what's the trick to gain access to the latest cingular rom hack 2.17? I have been reading the post over the past week or so and made several attemps (thread links, site links, user: xda password : xda, my user name and password, I have a T-Mobile wizard with the old cingular rom and would like to update to the latest version before loading up software/information... :roll:

Many Thanks to all the contributors of this sight!

OK I think the problem was/is Opera, I am able to log in with xda using IE but the folder is empty. That seems to have happen to a few others - humm - or is there a secret hand shake I haven't been clue in on?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jwthornton:
Thanks

Thank you Summiter for all your work on this great ROM. I have been using it for over a week now without any significant problems. I followed the directions with unlocking the phone before flashing the ROM and it upgraded flawlessly. I would highly encourage anyone wanting to upgrade to SIM/CID unlock their phone as addressed earlier in this forum.

I am only experiencing trouble with D-Link DI-614+ Router, Firmware 3.44. My 8125 will only connect to it without any security (WEP or WPA) and even then inconsistently. Restarting the router does make it connect more consistently without security. I have not found any other fixes for this. If this is a router problem, does anyone recommend a good all- round replacement that works well with our devices.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] saeba:
I can verify this: you need to CID unlock the phone in order to fully upgrade the phone. If you don't, the phone seems to upgrade, but the OS isn't upgraded and none of the goodies (ringers, themes, overclock utilities, etc) are present.

And I am also a bit confused regarding "Cingular" on the phone dialer page - I thought the final version of this ROM changed it to a graphic. But on my phone, it's still just text. What's the story?

Thanks!

Re: Thanks

hey,

Im using the same router di 614+ and i'm having same exact issues, i did the firmware upgrade on the router yesterday and nada, tried all the security options on the router and nothing unless i restart the router then the Ip address gets assigned. So the had to be something changed in the wifi driver in the phone in the 2.17 rom version, because my router worked fine before.

help please

I thought a "Carrierlogo.gif" file was added with the little cingular graphic (little X like graphic). I only see "Cingular" on mine (not even "cingular" like in their logo). It's white lettering on the blue dial screen.

Thanks!

2.17 Update

Found my problem-I had done the CID unlock using aWizard, but didn't notice the error about not saving the file, so it wasn't unlocked. So I reloaded 1.8 and reran aWizard, unlocked it, and reloaded 2.17. Now works great!

WiFi signal problem

I updated yesterday my Vario with the Cingular ROM, it ran simply perfect!

Immediately tested A2DP with my HT820 and worked with no problems at all. :D ,

BUT :( WiFi doesn't work like before anymore. I mean it works but now the indicator of the signal shows a very very weak signal, even from my home router! I when I try to connect just try and try and sudenly the connection is broken. I try also from office, where two days ago I saw about 10 Networks, today I can see just one :evil: , and also with the signal so weak that it disappears sometimes.

I used wifi since I purchased my Vario without problems, even with the Test ROM worked fine.

Any Idea??

Can I istall another wifi CAB, is that possible?

Ok i got my new HT820 MOtorola stereo headset today and everything works fine....only thing is...it skips sometimes...but i think that is depending on what my 8125 is doing and ram is being used. Sounds awesome though. Also is their a way to initiate a call using only the headset controls so i can pause the music and call someone without looking at my 8125?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] glitchsys:
Jonty when you first turn it on, what is the OS version? Did you CID unlock before doing the upgrade?

Jaeba, I too onyl see text on the background, no graphic. I am running the right OS version and I have the extra features, so I suspect he either reverted, didn't go with the graphic, or just changed the background of the text to match the background of the phone application. Either way, I'm good for now.

I haven't experienced any Wifi problems or calls being dropped issues, but i don't place a lot of calls on this device.

I am currently using summiter last great release (2.17.7.2 WWE, 2/10/06, 02.07.10, 413.1.03) and I would like some more information about THIS one.

Because I have Direct Push enabled, my EDGE connection is always on. If I enable WiFi in order to utilize a faster connection, after a while the device will entirely lockup. Can anyone confirm that this is not an issue with this ROM? That is really the major incentive I would have for switching ROMs at the moment.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jonty12:
i was using the older 2.17 cingular ROM that Summiter put together, so the OS was 2.17. A combination of NullKB and Registry Wizard killed my phone, so I had to reflash, and I thought I'd go for the one with the new themes, ringtones, A2DP, etc.

Turns out my problem was that I forgot to run rapi after the last hard reset. Ran rapi, then reflashed and bingo,

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ih8unot:
Check again.. Try under ROMS, subfolder Cingular. It's there, just checked. I spent the better part of a week trying to find that &@$*!!! thing and once I did I uploaded it the first chance I got (ok.. after I flashed my own ROM to make sure it worked 8) ). I suspect a noob to the art of FTP got ahold of it. I had to have my buddy in Atlanta burn me a copy and overnight it to me (long story...don't ask.). I suggest we all get into the habit of at least acquiring ROMs wether we need them or not for fear of catastrophe again. I will gladly assume the role of Cingular Hoarder #1 after that week plus of late nights. Is it a bad thing when your eyes can pick up the refresh rate on monitors and the hum of fluorescent lighting is soothing ? :shock:

Hi there everyone. I flashed my 8125 recently and everything works perfectly. I just had 1 question though....

when you have a2dp, does it allow you to listen to music through a regular bluetooth headset (i have a scala 500) or do you have to buy bluetooth stereo headphones? My scala 500's services doesn't offer "wireless stereo"...that option is shaded out. I just want to be able to listen to music through my little scala 500 headset. Thanks in advance!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
you have to have a bluetooth stereo headset...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ih8unot:
Actually.... if you don't mind you can use Btaudio.exe and listen to audio/video in mono. That's what I'm using now since my HP stereo's went for a dirt nap.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jonty12:
Reboot problem

Two things...

first, I've always been able to use my jabra 250 to listen to music, even with the stock ROM -- perhaps it's related to having m$ voice command. That being said, the sound was horrible.

Second... I'm having the same issue related to the phone restarting after a lengthy call. Yesterday the call was 8 minutes and 8 seconds, and then just turned itself off and restarted. It's happened 3 times in the last week or so, but there doesn't seem to be a pattern to it.

I may have to revert back, hate to do it, I just got a bluetooth stereo headset (works great), so I don't want to reflash to a non A2DP version.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: Key Logger imbedded in ROM Update

OK now you're just being retarded. I'll post the same response to you here that I gave you over on the Cingular forum:

Hi GaryS,

I was just made aware that CS is reporting a keylogger infection in the upgrader utility. At this point I'm highly susepct of that report, and here's why:

CS does NOT detect any infection in the files that were used to create the packaged up installer.

Symantec, NOD32, Highjackthis, and MS Defender do not detect any infections in the original files OR the extracted temp files.

When the upgrader is run, it extacts the ROM image itself and the utilities that interface the PC with the device. Those are extracted to a temp dir such as the rarsfx0 directory flagged by CS. If you have run the upgrader multiple times, or used some of the other upgraders, you may have other temp folders as well. CS does NOT detect an infection in the exact same files that are in other temp directories from past upgrades. Unusual behavior from CS to say the least.

This does not mean I don't take this seriously. If you're infected, I'm infected, and that doesn't sit well with me. I take extreme caution in what I let onto my system, and even more when I produce something for others on that system. I'm looking at the upgrader binary, and I'm also writing up a query to Sunbelt to get exact details on how they think they've identified a keylogger.

Before you continue on with "the sky is falling" cries, I'd do a few simple things as I have to determine whether this is a false positive or not. Your very dramatic discourse on keyloggers and credit card numbers and class action lawsuits is not only premature, it is a bit disingenuous.

I leave my reply to this matter at that for now. When I find out something relevant I'll post it here and over at XDA.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
I've found some unusual behavior with Counter Spy and it's indication that there's a keylogger in the files that are in this particular upgrader.

If the files are manually extracted, CS reports no problems with any of them. If the files are extracted to the temp directory as a result of running the executable (which is just an executable archive), CS reports a keylogger is in every single file, including the ROM image itself. That in itself is suspect.

Now, if I put totally unrelated files into that directory (RARSFX0 in the temp dir), CS will then report they contain a keylogger as well. As a test I put an empty txt file in that directory and ran CS. CS then indicated the empty txt file contains a keylogger. I verified there is no foreign code in the txt file with a hex editor.

I'm cross posting this to the CWS forum as well.

I'm fairly convinced at this point that whatever mechanism CS is using to identify a keylogger here is broken.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] fone_fanatic:
Summiter i want to thank you again for your great contributions and want to let you know they are very appreciated!

I was using your previous 2.17 rom and am currently upgrading to this one with a2dp. i don't know much about rom cooking but i'm curious as to why your using the Qtek roms. Before using your other rom i was using the imate rom and boot up time was really fast. Now with your 2.17 its extremely slow. Is it still slow with the 2.17 w/ a2dp rom?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tbalk:
Summiter, I also would like thank you for all your efforts. Your “Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP-fixed.exe” ROM upgrade works like a charm.

The only question I have is what would cause Comm Manager to hang/not close properly after I exit out of the application. I think it is waiting on a response from me because when I try and stop Comm Manager from the “system/memory” program, I get the warring page stating that “Comm Manager is not responding because it is busy, waiting for a response from you or has stopped running….” and asks me to either end the task, or cancel the request. The only other time I see this type of message (and it makes sense to see it) is when I try and stop ActiveSync when the wizard is still connected to my laptop.

It’s not the end of the world if it works this way, but if I do end the task it frees up some memory.

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Phoney:
I also have this issue. It doesn't bother me, but I'd like to know if it's normal.

If it's normal, I'd like to know if I should start Comm Manager first (when I reboot), so as to prevent memory fragmentation.

BTW, Sumiter, you rock and I'm very grateful for this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Bad design - the "Exit" option should close the app and release it's memory, but it wasn't coded to do so. When you try to kill it manually, you can force it with no ill effect. Assuming there's no memory leaks it should release all the memory it uses when running.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] djwillis:
summiter,

I realise this is OT but I had some questions about how you made this ROM as you seem to have cracked problems that have left me stumped.

Without wanting to sound like the village idiot (I have looked and looked ;-)) how can I pull all this together to make a custom 2.* ROM for the Wizard?

I am trying to build a ROM package for our rollout of 9100's (anything upto 300) that consists of 2.17 and matching radio etc. (these are the versions we have QA’ed and are happy with) and a custom Ext. ROM with settings for our private APN, push mail server, apps, today screen etc.

I have got the cabs, signing etc. etc. sorted to do what we need (cab that turns off signing, then we install our cert and then turn signing back on) and got the basis of the ROM sorted and customised the Extended_ROM manually placed on one device in the lab.

The problem I have now is pulling it all together as the 2.* Wizard ROMs do not seem to have ms.nbf only a larger nk.nbf containing everything wrapped up so I am at a loss as to putting the extended ROM image in that from the current collection of CAB’s, autorun etc. I have. I have looked and played with the tools for decoding extended ROM’s etc. but I thought, hey why not ask someone who has the problem well and truly licked. Especially as you have the CF2 running from the Ext. ROM, something I have been having a devils own job getting working.

Sorry for the rambling, thanks in advance,

John

Flashed OK but then discovered I still had the old OS so I downloaded the 1.8 ROM and tried to flash it but got an error message about a .nbf file and it would NOT flash. I had to reflash the new flash which means I am stuck with the old OS. Anybody got a solution to the nbf error?

summiter,

This is so weird. I did the ROM update Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.exe and everything seemed to work fine. The versions are correct

ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE

ROM Date 2/10/06

Radio 02.07.10

But when I look for the extra ringers, themes, OmapClock and A2DP I am not seeing them. I did the unlock and it says it was successful. Then I did the ROM update.

What can I be missing?

I'll be home in about an hour and I'll sort out what's missing from the ROM that broke A2DP. It's probably a stray reg entry, although when I created the ROM I compared what was written to the reg with what's in one of the working cab files.

If you're considering flashing to this ROM for A2DP, it's probably best to wait till I get a chance to see what's up.
