Re: downgrading radio version

kyphur- can you snag the one from the 2.17.11 version? that one seemed ok to me....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] djaladin:
Kyphur,

Since you are taking requests ;), could you possibly extract the GSM rom from Summiter's latest Cingular 2.3 cooked rom? I know most people are saying the "official" Cingular 2.25 version was getting them better reception, but I'm not so sure I agree. I recently installed the "better" GSM 2.25 on top of the 2.3 cooked rom, but think I was getting higher reception with the GSM that was included in the 2.3 rom.

This is just a bit confusing with all of the rom numbers that even I'M not sure what I'm asking for! :P

Basically, I want to go back to the GSM that was included with 2.3 without having to reflash the entire 2.3 rom. Can you help me out here? Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
My assumption is that you are referring to the original Radio Rom with Summiter's first AKU 2.3 Rom, that would be from the T-Mobile 2.24.10 Rom.

You can find it here:

<<Link removed see original Post>>

Even though the Radio Rom is (confusingly so) numbered the same as the Cingular Rom I will use the numbers from the originating Operator Roms.

2.17 QTek coming soon...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] djaladin:
Thanks, Kyphur. That was the radio version I was referring to. And I guess I'm the odd man out that gets better reception with this radio version. I'm getting about one bar more on the 2.24 TMobile version than the 2.25 Cingular version. Now I can be sure to have my preferred radio with any future updates as well.

Thanks again!

This new rom has a feature called select network under phone settings..

From what I gather, it lets you order your prefered networks, not that I got this thing to work. It won't save any changes I make; and It doesn't tell you anything about the networks.. Mine is a list of Cingular with nothing to distinguish one from the other?

Is there a 3rd party ap that will test the signal of this list or something?

Re: downgrading radio version

I would like the radio that was on this ROM:

CUSTOM_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_CINGULAR_WWE

I went back to the one listed previously in this topic and now I am dropping calls after a few minutes, the original version in this ROM would take forever to get a signal. Hopefully it will be stable, also have to see if they will send me a 3G SIM, as mine is a 64K.

Re: downgrading radio version

Could we perhaps start a seperate thread on radio roms, and post a few of them, and maybe poll it so that users can put in their two cents as to which is best, that way we can flash whatever rom works best, and pick and choose what radio seems to work individually for the area. Personally the radio in the aku2.3 works fine as far as signal, but if the radio rom also controls wifi, it blows.

Personally I'd almost go back to the stock rom on 1.8.11, but lets keep this thread inclusive of an entire package, and maybe a different thread on the roms for radio. That way we can post several at a time, and poll it.

Downloaded, Unlocked, flashed this morning and blew most of the day playing.

The only issue I have found on the 666 ;) build is the Soft Key on the Today Screen gives me an HTCCalendar.exe error. I think the shortcut should be "\Windows\calendar.exe". I could not find any reg settings for soft keys. (other POL calendar links work fine)

Programs loaded; MSVC, SPB Pocket + & PHM RegEdit w/BT800

FYI: My tests

WiFi connected successfully to Linksys, Dlink, Buffalo and Cisco AP's throughout the day. (work for a security, facilities controls, SCADA, fire, PLC systems integrator ....lots of toys)

Several long phone calls with no droped calls. Had a call for over an hour ...took notes in Notepad and pasted them into an email ...BT800 batt died durring the call..turned off BT ... enabled speaker phone and talked for another 15 mins. Build .17 would of choked on that call. I beat the crap out of this build today and this is the most stable my 8125 has ever been!

Trouble putting 2.3 on

I did a SIM unlock, a CID unlock, and tried to run the ROM update but it just tells me there was a communication error. Any suggestions???

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] robjhellis:
Do I need to unlock the CID?

I have been following the thread here for quite some time. My devise is an unlocked i-mate K-JAM which I bought in Australia, brought to the USA and put it on to the Cingular network, and then upgraded from the original i-mate ROM to the official i-mate A2DP upgrade. So under those circumstances would we expect the CID to still be locked, or does i-mate generally not lock the CID?

Thanks for your collective help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lotech:
Re: Trouble putting 2.3 on

Void you're warranty on day one...welcome to the club!

1. Check your Active Sync version. I've noticed some posts with issues on the beta AS 4.2 (I use 4.1)

2. Establish AS connection

3. Make sure lokiwiz is in the C: root directory on your PC (follow his instructions & don't forget to copy & install cab )

3a. Watch lokiwiz window closely durring unlock. If you see any errors your phone is not unlocked properly.

4. Any problem I've had flashing my phone was when I did not follow the instructions posted.

Good luck

Re: Do I need to unlock the CID?

If you didn't purchase it from a carrier it's probably not CID locked. If you flash to one of the ROMs here and your device is CID locked, worst case it won't update the bootloader and possibly the OS. In this case you can flash to a 1.X ROM, CID unlock, then go to the 2.x ROM of choice.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
As so many have stated time and again, there is no "fix" for this it is a problem with the operator's towers not having the correct time zones. You need to turn off the Sync Time with network option.

First of all I want to thank all of those who contribute their time for the tweaking of our toyz! I know that a day can easily disappear just upgrading the ROM and re-installing all of one's personal tweaks, and that makes me appreciate those whom create these ROMS even greater. Summitter, Faria, and Kyphur to name too few THANKS!

I for some reason, have not had the best luck with the latest custom ROM. It hung at 98% on the device twice even though the PC finally reached 100%. Was able to re-install the most recent a.k.a. "vanilla" ROM, but it would not let me downgrade to the 1.8 still on HTC's site in order to CID unlock and start over. My main goal is A2DP for the Pulsar 590s I just received. Finally I have been able to get the topic of this thread to install successfully twice, but even though it is supposed to have A2DP built in only the headset checkbox appears after pairing the 590. I have installed A2DPhack with some hiss, and the zoA2DP(same?) no hiss on the "vanilla 2.25" and the check boxes handsfree, wireless stereo, and headset show up. The zoA2DP usually returns to media player and sound in the headset with the press of one button. I also have no trouble connecting to routers, but getting to the internet has been impossible with Wi-Fi. Any suggestions?

Over the last three days, I've been all around Atlanta - dense downtown, less dense suburbs, and remote North GA mountains. I haven't had any instances of prolonged "searching for signal" states, and everytime I looked at the phone I had 3 or 4 bars signal strength. I normally don't talk on the phone much, but the calls I did make all seemed fine.

Today, I've been on a conference call where the first call ran 3hrs 42min (I have a bajillion minutes in my Rollover acct), and after the lunch break, I'm at 38min now. I've been using my Bluetake BT headset the entire time. Call quality seems fine, and no drops.

I can't really say anything about battery life, since my use of the "TEST" rom coincided with the arrival my Bluetake BT headset, so I don't know if my battery depletion profile is caused by the ROM or caused by the fact that I'm running WMP constantly. :-)

I do have a 3G SIM (btw - on my chip, the 3G marking is on the BACK of the chip; front of the chip says 64K), so maybe that's is the key to good vs. bad radio with with the 2.24 Radio ROM in the orginal "TEST" package.

I've been spending too much time playing around with my phone, so I'm probably going to stick with what I have for a while (see below).

general impressions

Originally I upgraded from the stock ROM to Summiters 2.17. From there to the "original" version of this ROM and then earlier today to the current version. While, in general, it is an enormous improvement over the stock ROM, there are a few issues I have with this version (although none of them are major issues):

My 8125 is running "sluggish" not as smooth as it was with teh 2.17 ROM.

Also, I have experienced the lengthy network searches that many refer to previously in this thread.

Finally, I have an issue with the display (which I did not have with the earlier version of this ROM). when I go into my messages, there is "space" at the bottom of the screen (as if the row with the battery meter and comm mgr is "bleeding through). It gets even worse when I open the menu in a message as this ends up overlapping and making it hard to read/send messages. This, to me, is currently the worst of hte issues. Anyone else experience this and have a fix?

Thanks to Summiter and to Faria for your replies. The safest corse of action seems to be to downgrade and then apply the unlocking program. In te event that CID and/or SIM are already unlocked will any issues arise by using the lockiwiz02b program? In other words would it relock an unlocked phone, or merely just do nothing?\

Can anyone here say for sure whether my wifi problems would be a result of the radio version or protocol. I mean, not to sound skeptical, but the wifi and gsm bands are completely different, and I would generally assume (and yes, i know what ass-u-&-me means) that there would be a different side handling the wifi versus the radio code.

Today's latest message is a window that popped up after about 5 minutes of trying repeatedly to reconnect to my Belkin Pre-N router:

Pocket PC Networking

Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings.

I have removed all previous networks used, and noticed that it will say its connecting - then it just stops and says the network is available. This router works excellent with various flavors of 802.11g wifi cards for laptops and also 2 desktops wirelessly. I'm at a loss.

Is there a way on the PocketPC to enable some sort of logging to see what's going on with the handheld for attaching to a network. I take my unit to my other home, and this thing sees my SRX router and BAM! its on it... no quams or questions... "You there... oh yeah baby gimmie that IP" - its like happy to see my SRX!?

I can say this - I've not had good edge reception in my home with my SRX router, but with the most recent summiter radio rom included through this thread, it definately has improved... so there is something different.

Aside from the wifi issues, this is the best rom I've tried... so definately, thank you - just awaiting an OFFICIAL release - perhaps that's why this isn't out =) I definately gotta hand it to Summiter, kyphur, and others.

My final attempt is to check out Summ Summ, and whether or not this may be the root cause of my problem - Hey Summiter, can you post Summ Summ someplace so that if I discover its not my problem, I can put it back in?
