Thanks for the pointer.

This begs the questions:

I did not CID unlock my 8125 to upgrade to Summiter's 2.17, how come I read herein that we now need to unlock both CID and SIM in order to go to Summiter's 2.25 AKU2.3?

Is this latest version (6/3/06 7:20AM) based on the Cingular final release ROM or perhaps it is best to wait till Summiter does his magic on what Cingular finally releases to the public.

Thanks much,

Claude H.

Sumitter refers to this CID unlock question here at http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?...&start=0&sid=c15e38fae4606c8d7c944fcb0868dc44 regarding it coming from another carrier. With the brand new 8125's I've had to do this as they would never upgrade fully.

As for this being Cingular's release ROM ... dunno. I personally hadn't upgraded my device in a couple of weeks or so ...

Random question - I installed v2.25 and set up the phone to activesync with our company's exchange server. In the original Cingular ROM I was never forced to have a password on my device. With this ROM, I'm not able to set up an activesync conncetion without it. Any idea why? It's annoying to type in the PIN after an hour.

Last night the earpiece on my device died. I can't hear anyone when i make/recieve a call, but speakerphone works fine. Don't know if this is software or hardware prob. I'm about to hard reset but i just attempted to sync my device and i'm getting an error, its telling me i need as 4.1 or higher installed on my pc. I have 4.2b installed. Soft reset didn't do the trick. anyone run into this before?

--------update--------

just reset my pc and its syncing fine, now to figure out why my earpiece isn't working..

-------2nd update-------

figured out earpiece now works with the keyboard slid out. guess i'll live with that for now :|

Random answer: Exchange SP2 can enforce such a policy on devices with MSFP (AKU 2.x) ROMs. Your Exchange admin can get rid of the requirement.

I looked for the update.....?

I installed this unoffical/official patch without any unlocking as I thought this would not be necessary with an official upgrade.

One thing I thought I would get with the upgrade is the Exchange 2k3 'push' email services. Nothing seems to have changed within Activesync that enables me to put in the device address, etc. I thought this was the big thing about this ROM upgrade - getting the security and messaging functionality.

Am I missing something? I believe I have everything set on the server side but do not see anything in Activestink.

Thanks!

Upgraded yesterday...hmmmmmm

I upgraded yesterday and after problems installing my 3rd parth apps were resolved. I've only noticed two things that might not have anything to do with the ROM, but I CAN NOT get my ringtones to be on my 2gb storage card. I 've done the required changes to the registry. I've tried multiple loaction and still nothing. Everytime it just gets copied to the Windows/rings I've tried everything. In the dropdown list its really weird. I now have a list as follows below:

Cingular_tune

fantasy.wma

jig.wma

mystic.wma

oldphone.wma

ringer.wma

roaringguitar.wma

terrestrail.wma

Windows Default.wma

the only one that will play is the Cingular_Tune the rest say "This ring tone file is corrupted or unavailable. Please choose a different ring tone." This is driving me crazy.

The second problem and i really dont know where this one came from but when the keyboard is slid out and i'm typing a note or something. When i go to use the RED keys. They are not mapped properly. The numbers are but the key layout is as follows:

"~" = "!"

"!" = "@"

"@" = "#"

"#" = "$"

"$" = "%"

"%" = "&"

"&" = "*"

"*" = "="

"=" = "+"

"+" = "Special Char"

"-" = "Special Char"

" ' " = "-"

Really weird huh???? :lol: Anyone have any idea on these to issues. Dont really think it is the ROMS fault. Other than those things its much faster, havn't had any call dropping issues or system lockup so i guess were good. Thanks guys

ROM works great so far!

I've been running it for a few days now and am very happy. Thanks to Summiter!

I paired my Motorola Bluetooth stereo headset in about 2 minutes and it works great. I had a little scare with the timezone always switching to Arizona( I was wondering what I was gonna do when we set the clocks back in the fall since Arizona doesn't use daylight savings time) but I did a search and from what I could find it's a cingular network thing not related to the ROM update. If I am mistaken please let me know!

Thanks, G
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mwheeler2:
My experience with the new ROM from Cingular...

First, the upgrade process is somewhat easier than with my other devices (HTC Blue Angel/HTC Universal)... just run the executable and it starts the bootloader, cancels ActiveSync and installs.

Second, this ROM allows for push e-mail with the use of GoodLink or Exchange Server. Nice.

Third, GPRS/EDGE speed/reception are good. EDGE speed is around 165 kbps while driving and ~325 kpbs when stopped with good reception (3-4 bars). I don't have a GPRS speed estimate, because EDGE is available in all of my immediate area (though my other two devices get ~45-60 kpbs on GPRS).

Last, I installed the zoA2DP.cab and now I have use of my bluetooth stereo headphones. Very nice.

Be advised, the registry hive is not necessarily cleared when updating ROM versions. This had to be done manually on all of my other devices, so I'm not sure that the Wizard would be an exception. That being said, the strange artifacts that some are experiencing post-ROM-upgrade seem to indicate that some registry settings are in place from a previous ROM (i.e. - incorrect keyboard mapping, incorrect messaging settings, etc.).

Overall, I have had a positive experience with the updated ROM and will continue to use it.

I upgraded using this package and my 8125 seems to run a lot faster and smoother. This combined with E-TEN Dialer theme and I am one happy 8125 user.

I just wish I could find the green theme that Microsoft shows off on the WM5 site (and how to get the icon bar up top).

How come HTC hasn't released an updated ROM since November, 2005? Is the only way to obtain updates through leaked ROMs?

You don't need to put in anything. Just setup your sync schedule to 'As items arrive' and you're good to go.

bluetooth problems?

First off, i've been using the "beta" version, and it's far superior to the stock cingular rom. However, everything has been working great except for a small issue with bluespoon headsets.

I have a Nextlink Bluespoon AX and a Bluespoon AX2.

My issue with the AX (bluetooth version 1.1) is that voice dialing can no longer recognize voice tags... it's giving me a "please reduce noise level" error message, although i'm in a completely silent room.

The AX2 (bluetooth version 1.2) is actually the opposite. I can be barreling down the highway, with the top down, and it picks up the voicetags just fine. This one has a problem with they way calls are handled. When I'm on the phone with someone, if a third party calls, and i click ignore, to send them to voicemail and continue my first call, it transfers my original call to the handset, and disconnects my bluetooth connection.

Otherwise, call quality on both is great...

Is there a problem with the bluetooth stack in this version? I never had these problems with the original cingular rom (i think it was version 1.8 ).

Any ideas/suggestions?

Hi guys,

I just wanted to pipe in here...

It's been 9 days since I installed this ROM, and I have to tell you...... it's incredible.

I have not had to reboot ONE time in over a week. I did once, just because I used Sprite Backup.

But really... if any of you "late-comers" to this thread are considering installing this ROM... I have had excellent results with my Bluetooth GPS, Wi-Fi at home, GPRS on the road, and everything else.

Well done, as always!

If anyone wants to see a list of my installed apps, I'll post 'em!

Thanks!

Re: active sync via bluetooth

I am having the same problem. BT Activesync worked flawlessly before the update (stock 8125 to official Cingular 2.25, no CID/SIM unlock), and now I can't get the 8125 to recognize ActiveSync over BT. I've tried adding and removing COM ports, etc. Laptop and 8125 definately 'see' each other and are paired correctly. Just can't get the BT Activesync to work. Not a dealbreaker for me as I rarely BT sync anyway. I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone has a solution.

Otherwise, the 2.25 ROM has completely changed my device for the better. It's like a whole different machine now. :D

Re: active sync via bluetooth

Here's a little how2 that helped me (by an unknown author) the first time I had problems with the old 1.8.11 rom. I did not, however, had these problems with the 2.25 so, good luck...

******************************

HTC WiZard How-To

Cingular 8125

Activesync with Bluetooth:

1) On your computer, go into bluetooth settings. Check bluetooth is ON and set to discoverable. Add an incoming COM port, eg. COM5.

2) On ActiveSync on your computer, go into connection settings. Tick all the boxes. If the COM port is greyed out, untick it, close the settings box, go back in, now tick it and set the COM port to eg. COM5.

3) On the K Jam go into bluetooth settings, and remove the connection to your computer.

4) On your K Jam go into ActiveSync, click 'menu' > 'connect via bluetooth' then you should see a message saying 'cannot find an existing bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSync. Would you like to set up a partnership now?'

5) Click YES - you are taken to the Bluetooth settings screen.

6) Now click 'new partnership. As soon as you do this, the K Jam will search, and as long as your computer has bluetooth discoverable turned on, your computer will eventually be displayed. Check the computer name showing on the K Jam is the same as the name you gave the bluetooth profile on your computer.

7) On K Jam, click your computer name then NEXT.

Now enter a passcode - any four digit number (remember it) then next

9) When you do this, your computer will pop up with a message saying "a bluetooth device is requesting authorisation". Open this message and type in the code that you gave the K Jam. The next screen on the computer will tell you that it was successful - click FINISH.

10) Back on the K Jam, the screen will now be showing the services available. AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOWED STEP 1 and 2, ActiveSync will be an option, and you need to tick this and press FINISH on the K Jam.

11) Close bluetooth settings, now in ActiveSync screen click MENU > Connect via bluetooth. Your ActiveSync program on the computer should eventually pop up and connect.

	ERROR [248~260] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.

Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.

I got this ROM from my Cingular contact (leaked early because we have quite a few of their devices). I know they were planning on releasing the new 8100s with 2.23, but vibrate while sleeping was an important issue. This is pretty close to release, may have some minor revisions along the way.

I think they might be playing with the generic conneciton strings because the proxy setting was screwing with WIFI connects, and also the forced IP refresh would cause issues with Push email. I would expect them to add MediaNET back before releasing to public, just so that they can make their ringtone etc. money.

As far as themes is concerned, please add the Silvery one. That one is kick ass. I think it's chrome glow.

I hear an echo up in this place.

I should have somethin' cooked up tonight. Probably a barebones with nothing in ext ROM (and I mean nuthin', for folks who want to customize all on their own), and another with some basic stuff - ringers, a2dp, themes, a few useful reg tweaks, etc)

A version with CF2 integrated may come in a few days - that takes awhile to get integrated and working and so on and so forth. I'm hesitant to go through a huge effort until a final final final release from Cingular happens, yo.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] amg212:
OK, here's an issue I found with the new ROM...

In all earlier ROM's I've tried with the 8125, pressing the "END" button from almost any program (while not on a voice call) simply returns me to the today screen. Now, pressing end disables my GPRS/EDGE connection. I can see why some people may want that functionality, but (a) it is easy enough to force a data disconnect in the CommManager, and (b) it is (unfortunately) too easy to accidentally press the end button, thereby messing up things like DirectPush.

Does anyone know of a fix for this? In particular, can the behavior of the END button be changed through a registry hack?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] decepticon:
Sure hope so, I have had pretty much every HTC PPC and it has grown into a habit to just hit the hang up button to get to the Today Screen.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
It shouldn't work that way - and doesn't on my device. What should (and does on mine) happen is that briefly pressing END will take you back to the Today screen, while *holding* END WILL close the data connection (which, if you have push enabled, will go and connect its bad ol' self right back up).

That is great news. thanks for the update
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:

No I haven't installed it yet, waiting on you to do your magic then use that one for my own custom rom.

Just hoping that it doesn't
