You can not run a RUU.exe in fastboot. To run the file just double click it and follow the instructions. The computer has to be attached to the phone via USB cable and for some RUU the phone must be in FASTBOOT USB.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you can't flash a ruu.exe with fastboot, only ruu.zip (see post 80)! Even if you could do that, you have syntax error in your command + you did not switched your phone to fastboot RUU mode....

just run the .exe file with your phone in bootloader mode and report what is the error code if it fail.

or use the ruu.zip method at post 80.

Okay so im not to good with the gadgets I guess, i recently tried switching roms(4.3>4.4) unfortunately i wasn't able to, i was told i needed a higher version of twrp i currently have 2.5.0.0. i found a couple versions like 2.6.3.1 but have no idea how to update it, if true what do i do, and is twrp recommended if not what is better and to install.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darbness:
To update your recovery you need to have Fastboot installed.

Download latest recovery

Then put your device in fastboot mode

Then run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

replacing "recovery.img" with the name of the recovery you downloaded.

I have a Cingular 8125. I bought it only a couple weeks ago, and I have to say that if it wouldn't have been for these forums and all the tips tricks and hacks that are being discovered here - I would have taken this devvice back to the store... I have days when I love it and days when I hate it - but overall I have to say that I just barely satisfied with the performance. It just feels like the OS (wm5) is to intensive for the processor in these devices.... and is it just me ... or does anyone else feel like they also are a BETA Tester for this devices and this platform in general .... cause let's face it - these things are not for everyone - it takes a über-geek like me and you to use one :)

Anyway, I am rambling, but - share your thoughts...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Yes i am, with it overclocked, upgraded rom and various hacks lol... Plus it gives this forum a boost - most problems are fixable ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Eugenia:
The 195 Mhz of the Wizard are enough for PDA/phone activities. But it's too little if you want to do more wiht your device. For example, when streaming mp3 via WiFi and then immediately encode to A2DP, the machine CRAWLS.

And it is getting worse with WMV video: it won't playback any QVGA WMV videos, too slow of a cpu (tried both WMP and TCPMP).

So, it depends how you use your device.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] devGOD:
the 8125 processor 195/200mhz is just as fast as the Verizon/Sprints Xscale 400mhz process just different chips that clock speeds differently. it's like comparing a Intel Centrino 1.5ghz to a 2ghz mmx the centrino can blow past the mmx chip in a benchmark... but anyway the device is pretty fast being that it's small and can hold a decent battery life.

a lot of people add tons of plugs to there device that really slows it down. crappy coding in a plugin can make the 8125 really slow
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fea:
I have to concur with phlojo on this: I migrated from a Himalaya (XDA2) & WM2003SE onto an MDA Vario. I was seduced by the prospect of built-in wifi, smaller footprint and WM5, but I have been severely disappointed by speed, memory space and stability. The poor stability is probably due to lack of memory, but there are other 'features' :x that infuriate, like a hit and miss alarm. Today I got 2 at the same time - but I have known it to miss alarms or to lose WEP keys, which is a PITA to type in as you can't paste the key on WM5; you have to type manually.

It was suggested in this thread that these issues were caused by additionally installed user applications. All I can say it that I'm only trying to run the same apps as I did on my xda2 (GPS map finding, opera & TCMP). At the moment I give it 6/10. If I find a smaller memory footprint rom to download, this might go up.

I think those considering the upgrade version of this phone need to check the hardware specs before taking the plunge. I've got this on a 18 month contract, so I'm stuck with it for a while.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Markee:
Hi everyone,

I was quite concerned when I went from my Dell Axim x50v to the MDA Vario.

I was worried that the jump from 624Mhz to 180Mhz would be a bridge too far!

And it nearly was.....until I upgraded my ROM to 2.17.x.x, now it is reliable, doesnt randomly reset without warning and the performance is very good.

I use Tube 2 quite a bit and Tom Tom 5.21 and find there is little noticable difference to the Axim.

I am sure media encoding and streamng would be a totally different kettle of fish though - 180Mhz is just not enough for this kind of 'work', I am sure the Axim would struggle with this too!

The question is, is this really what you want to do with your Phone/PDA when theres such good 'tools for the job' such as the Sony PSP?

as a new user to the ppc scene. i dont really know what to expect. i should be receiving my 8125 very soon..

It set to come stock with whatever cingular puts on it..

any advice from the start? im really new to this whole rom thing so dont know what to do exactly..

ive read on here that overclocking boosts performance?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Danny-B-:
Im really impressed with mine, it works twice as good as i expected it to and thats with minimal hacks, its not even overclocked :)

im using the latest O2 ROM and i cant say i notice any slowdowns at all.

as i've said before, it performs so much better than my old XDA IIi and thats a 500Mhz WM2003 device!

i honnestly cant complain about it in anyway ... well 1 thing i spose, the stock headphones are horrible, but they work :P

Mediocre phone barely useable for business

I came from a kyocera 7135, treo 650 to this phone. I had two purchase 1 program and install 3 third party apps to get the functionality of the 7135 on the treo. As for the 8125 wizard this phone is a toy. I use my phone and pda functionality to the fullest and its just been extremely frustrating. DPAD navigation is a joke if it exists for the application. Phone integration with the PIM is worthless just try to copy a phone to the clipboard it only allows to save as new contact. MS made a big deal of respond to missed calls with an sms on the treo 700. Why exclude that feature on this version. Like everything they do nothing is consistent. My favorite flaw though is something that palm does very well. Hard reset the device and your screwed. Apparently not everything is backed up. You are required to reinstall many apps.

Performance the device has to be overclocked. Its performance isn't even acceptable out of the box.

To make the device usefull you need to overclock, install a few apps for menu navigation, a few progs for system maintenance, upgrade rom, make varios registry changes. If it this forum didn't exist I would have sold the phone bought another Treo.

The device or WM5 is good on two items. Wifi and web browser. Palm droped the ball on this big time although the newest version of blazer is supposed to be much better there is still no wifi.

MS needs to work on their PIM/Phone integration and the dpad for the device. the dpad hould navigate to all controlls and menus on the screen.

anyway just my gripes.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zan5hin:
I love my Vario. Everyone I show it to loves my Vario. That's even without google maps mobile, which I got working today.

Yes it is slow out of the box, I ran it for my first 2 months at default speed, I only setup overclock a few days ago, but now I have it overclocked 20% 24x7 and it's so much better.

I am totally happy with it. Of course I would love the faster CPU and UMTS and scrollwheel of the Wizard II, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mike freegan:
I am happy with the software side. Very happy. It is the first XDA that I can rely on for receiving phonecalls, which afterall is what its for. Hell, its the first one where caller display works properly.

An overclocked XD mini-s plays QVGA videos fine for me.

I bought it knowing it would need hacking, but yeah, were it not for these forums and me being a phone nerd I'd wanna take it back.

I am not happy with hardware. The gap between the botom of te screen and case is appauling. Stuff gets down there, then the touchscreen stops working and its an arse to get out. The stylus falls out and the black paint flakes off.

Also, it randomly fried my 2GB mini-SD card, something which I have never forgiven it for as I still have not managed to replace it. Using this device without a card is impossible. If you have more than 5 photos on it, it constantly comes up with low memory errors.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tsiros:
The main reasons for the dreadful performance are two.

first, the processor has very small data and instruction caches. second, wm5 has this great nifty trick where system calls from a user-space process gets intercepted by the os, run, and then the results go to the process. Or something like that.

Plus, a significant portion of the os and user interface must be .**** i mean .NET which makes it even slower.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markgamber:
I use the custom 2.17 rom available on this site and I'm quite happy with it. Granted, I don't use it's every available feature or play mp3s and video with it often, but I do now and then, either as files or streaming off the web, and it all works fine. I was overclocking for a while but found I didn't really need it and haven't used it since the 2nd or 3rd week I had it. It's definately slower than my old Blue Angel but WM5 is so much smoother in operation than 2003SE which makes up for it. Also, just like with a pc where the keyboard is faster and more convenient than a mouse, the keyboard is much faster and more convenient than the stylus and I avoid pulling out the stylus when at all possible.

I guess everyone's milage may vary but my experience has been a very good one.

Wizard Performance

I must begin by saying that I really love the Wizard after using the ROMs and hacks on this site.

My first Windows device was a n xv6600 with verizon's EVDO network. The xv6600 has a 400 mhz processor. It was very fast but had horrible battery life, poor reception, and had to be soft reset all the time.

When I first got the 8125 Wizard, I almost sent it back. it was slow and locked up often. Next, I tried the Qtek Test ROM which worked better and had A2DP. However, I was still resetting all the time.

Now I'm running Exelencin's 2.17 Custom ROM for TMO. It works very well. The unit performs all tasks just as fast or almost as fast as the xv6600 (Blue Angel) which I still have and use as a benchmark.

I'm hooking up to the Wifi at work and home between 900 and 1200 kbps. That's faster than the EVDO speeds on the Blue Angel. The Wizard streams video from the web very well on Wifi. I'm getting Edge connections through TMO in SLC from 60 to 95 kbps. Though the EVDO is supposedly 3 to 4 times faster, it sometimes takes just as long to download some pages.

I use a ton of BT devices, including but not limited to:

I-PHONO 450RX and MOTO BT820 stereo headsets; Jabra headsets, my HP laptop with BT, and my Audi A6. The Wizard works much better than the Blue Angel. The Wizard even transferred all my contacts directly into the Audi. The BT connections are clearer and work from a longer distance.

I use a variety of foreign language dictionaries, read my mormon scriptures on the wizard. These memory intensive programs actually run faster on the Wizard than the BA. I put all programs on the sd card except one's like voice command which must be in device memory to work well. I also keep all pictures etc. on the mini sd card. Voice command can also be activated with my jabra or moto stereo headsets.

All in all, the Wizard rocks with the right ROM and settings. The battery life is simply outstanding. I can go one to one and a half days without a recharge.

The only time I get the wizard running slow is when I have half a dozen programs running. I wish programs would close when closed. I'm tired of going in the memory settings and shutting down programs I've already closed.

All in all
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MACkjam:
I have an imate Kjam which I got in MArch this year. I have installed and removed TONS of software and only had to do one hard reset as a result of crap dictionary software. I only have a speed issue when opening large Word docs with tables in it. Otherwise I am a happy camper with my device. I will not use the overclock software as I believe you are looking for trouble.

I will never go back to a regular cellphone now.

I regularly use mortplayer, TCPMP with full feature movies, Media player and Real One Player, and I have NEVER had speed/memory issues.

Remember guys that this little sucker has a DUAL CORE processor!!! It handles graphics BETTER than other faster clock speed processors.

ENJOY!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bratag:
Something else to keep in mind for those with issues with video playback is that the 1.0 version of TCPMP is basically built from the ground up. They are reporting a VERY large increase in speed all round.

Yes you may have to fork over some cash to get all the codecs but for a player like TCPMP I dont think that $20 or so is that big an ask.

Lastly - and something I think is overlooked often - The wizard is a pretty fair phone with good battery life. I bought the unit because it was reviewed as a useable phone, sure I wanted a PPC as well but the phone had to work and not die in 1hrs use.

If all I had wanted was a PPC I would have bought something else, but I hate single taskers and to me the wizard is a great multi-tasker.

Good and bad

After applying a bunch of the tricks available on this site, I am overall quite happy with the T-Mobile MDA, over the Treo 600. I also agree that this site is necessary, but treocentral's forum was necessary, too: every advanced device needs educated users to achieve full functionality.

The biggest nuisance to me is not the speed but the fact that it is not responsive for a long time, 20 seconds or even more, occasionally.

The second biggest nuisance is that I can't search my 700 contacts for a keyword and get an answer in a realistic amount of time. On the palm, that took a couple of seconds; here, even overclocked at 240, it takes 20 minutes. What is with that?

The third nuisance is caps/shift lock, which is mostly that I am used to the Palm method and partly that the palm method makes more sense (turn on sticky with a double press, turn off with a single press of the caps or shift key).

Better things about the MDA: multitasking. wifi. VOIP. Today screen with SPB weather and diary. Runni8ng programs from the mini-SD card. Sound quality (phone and music).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DavidT.:
I'm pretty happy with my 8125. It's zippy enough for me. I even have Wis Bar Advance 2 loaded along with a bunch of other today plug ins and it's fine at the factory 195mhz clock speed (Though I've recently up'd the clock speed to 228 just because I can, feels zippier w/menus and webpages). It's never frozen up on me, I use Explorer A LOT (3-4 hours a day minimum) for browsing email and webpages at work. I have my Motorola H700 BT headset with me at all times so bluetooth has been turned on since I've had the device. This is the best phone I've had so far. Kicks the **** out of my Treo 650. I was a hardcore Palm user (Owned many Clie's and a Treo 600+Treo 650) and it took me a lot of convincing to "try" the 8125 but now I'm just in love with it :wink:

Cingular 8125

I've had my Cingular 8125 about 2 1/2 months now. I replaced my Moto V400 and Dell Axim with the 8125, as I didn't like having to carry TWO devices around with me all the time. While it's performance out of the box was "acceptable", I had been reading the forums for about a month before I got it and had already read about issues, tweaks and fixes. So by the time I finally purchased it, I knew exactly what I was going to upgrade and tweak when I finally got ahold of it.

I have to agree that if it were not for these forums, I wouldn't have been near as happy as I am now. After installing Registry Wizard, upgrading to the 2.17 ROM, and NOW upgraded to the 2.3 ROM, my 8125 ROCKS!! I don't have the constant screen freezes like I used to so I'm not having to reset it 3 - 4 times a day. I use Sompy video encoder for my full-length DVD's to watch on it and don't have any lagtime between video/audio and it streams smoothly without hanging or freezing.

I feel like the phone quality is as good -- if not better than -- my V400. As far as comparing it with my Dell Axim, it gets MUCH better battery life PLUS I'm able to surf the Net and get my personal emails pushed to the phone every 30 minutes throughout the day. I haven't yet invested in any BT headsets or headphones, so I can't comment on that, but I do have a BT GPS receiver coming which will replace my Garmin Street Pilot -- which, by the way -- I've LOVED every since I bought it 4 years ago. But with the 8125's BT GPS capability, I just can't pass that up.

All in all, I'd have to say this is probably one of the BEST investments I've made. I now carry around ONE device on my belt, instead of TWO. . . and get the added benefit of the Internet and Pushmail with it, along with an occasional video and using it as an MP3 player.

I have an 8125, and I am very happy with it.. Like others, I've had frustrations and problems.. The other day I rebuilt it something like 5 times.. Thankfully I was at work, and in the middle fo some time consuming projects so I could work on it more.. But, I'm running it with the stock ROM, and it's running very stable now.. And if it weren't for a moment of idiocy today, it still would have been running since the last rebuild without having to be soft reset..

Now, I have hacked the registry a bit, but overall it's fine.. A little slow at times, but I could be working on worse.. I came from my SMT5600, and can't complain at all, although I do miss my SMT5600 for punching out emails when I shouldn't be..

Once I get a bit more adventursome, I'll change ROM's on it, but for right now, I'm content using my existing ROM and hacking the **** out of the registry.
