Old vs. New Radio Version number

First - Thank you Summiter for this selfless work...

1. I read somewhere here that old and new radio had the same version number 2.25.11, but diff checksums. How can I tell if I have the original cingular radio 2.25? An ftp link to the cingular 2.25 radio was given, but its now dead.

2. I'm a newbie at this - if I reinstall your ROM will it overwrite everything and force a reinstall of all my applications? If so, is there a smarter way for me to go about it?

Thanks in advance!

Guys, just used the multi-installer on my Cingular 8125 and had no problems. One thing though, a few posters talked about the 1 hour off / timezone issue and I wanted to make sure the auto timezone setting was off... but I can't find it.

I saw a screenshot and instructions that say it should be in Settings->Phone->Timezones... but I don't have that tab at all. My phone only shows "Phone", "Services", "Network", "PIN2", and "More". I thought there was a "Timezones" in between the "PIN2" and "More" tabs.

Was this tab removed in the latest custom ROM or am I missing something?

Edit: Nevermind. Further searching revealed that making the tab visible requires a registry change using Total Commander. I found the correct key and turned it on. Then realized the automatic option was off. =)

BT tethering

I installed this update with no problems...until I tried to tether it over BT to my Mac. It had been working before the update fine. Is there anything I need to know to get it working again?

Also if anyone has tethering over USB working on a Mac let me know!

Thanks for all the efforts on these ROMS btw!

2 words for Summiter

Thank You!

I have been lurking around for several months now. Got my Cingular 8125 wt 1.08 on it a while back and immediately went to Summiter’s 2.17 ROM before loading a thing on it. My 8125 has been fine since.

A couple of days ago, I upgraded to Summiter's option 1 on his multi selection 2.3 ROM and find it to be even better. Seems very solid, faster boot, etc. so far.

I had and still have the issue with the e-mail screen not coming up when hitting the upper left hard button on my 8125 but I can live with that until someone has a fix to suggest.

However, I digress:

THANK YOU Summiter from another very happy camper.

VT,

Claude H.

Please forgive me if I am asking a question that has already been answered in this forum. However, I am new to ROM Upgrading. I previously CID unlocked my phone and installed Summit's ROM. Then I updated to Cingular's 2.25.11.1 WWE. Now, I would like to install Summit's latest ROM for the 8125. So here are my questions:

1. Where can I find Summit's latest ROM for the 8125?

2. Do I need to CID and SIM Unlock my phone to install Summit's ROM?

I really liked Summit's ROM and would like to install it again it works much better than the Cingular ROM.

Thanks to all of you who post technical solutions on this site.

I paid to have my G4 chipset phone CID unlocked, but when I try to install this rom, I get Error 300. Says the update utility can't be used for my phone and get a newer one. Am I doing something wrong?

TimeZones setting

My 8125 doesn't have this tab in the Phone Settings. Could it be somewhere else? It's not in Clock & Alarms either.

I'm running Summiter's Cingular_Custom_AKU2.3_Combo_Installer_V1 but may go back to a 2.17 version

Great Work!

Summiter,

I found this site and thank you for releasing this ROM. You’re selfless work is truly amazing! Can you provide sources, such as books, Web sites, etc… to learn what do you do?

Also, the wealth of knowledge on this post is outstanding. Keep up the good posts guys!

Bluetooth ActiveSync and Partnership with Multiple PCs Problems

I’ve just updated AKU 2.3 for about two weeks now and like some of you, I can not perform ActiveSync through Bluetooth and I can not establish sync relationships with more than one PC.

Can anyone provide possible solutions to the following two problems? I apologize in advance for the length of post.

NOTE: Unfortunately, the illustrations exceed the site's limits, so I've attached a .zip containing all the pictures referenced in this post. Also for easier reading, a Word document, with all the illustrations, is also in the .zip file.

[size=+1]Problem 1: Bluetooth ActiveSync[/size]​

Establishing Pairing Using PPC as Starting Device

First, I attempt to pair the Bluetooth connection with my computer using my PPC. Everything was fine until the passkey validation process. I entered my passkey and waited for the confirmation on my PC.

No confirmation was presented at the PC end, and the PPC displayed an “Unable to Connect” error which says "Your device did not connect with TML. The network connection failed or the passkey is incorrect," shown in Figure 1.

Establishing Pairing Using PC as Starting Device

Next, I successfully paired the device using my computer using my computer as the requesting device. The passkey was entered to the computer first and the PPC was able to validated, shown in Figure 2.

Furthermore, the PPC presented me with the services available on my computer including (1) Hands Free, (2) Serial Port, and (3) Dailup Networking; shown in Figure 3.

This is where I got confused. In the previous ROM (2.25), ActiveSync would replace “Serial Port” as a service choice; thus providing a service list consisting of (1) Hands Free, (2) ActiveSync, and (3) Dailup Networking. Nevertheless, I pressed on and I selected “Serial Port” to finish the pairing process.

I opened ActiveSync on the PPC to begin the sync process and was presented with a connection error saying "Cannot find an existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSync. Would you like to set up a partnership now," shown in Figure 4.

I immediately started the troubleshooting process on my computer. I confirmed that an ActiveSync connection was available in COM4 and Synching was allowed in that same port. The confirmation is shown in Figure 5.

[size=+1]Problem 2: Multiple PCs ActiveSync Connection [/size]​

When attempting to sync via USB connection on a second PC, my PPC presents a connection error, saying "ActiveSync cannot connect to the Windows Mobile powered device. To troubleshoot the problem, click OK," as shown in Figure 6.

After clicking “OK,” ActiveSync begins to scans the connection, shown in Figure 7.

As the scan completes, ActiveSync provides the useless result indicating that all the scans were complete, show in Figure 8.

Thanks for the feedback Neo. Surprisignly (or not) my only sources for information were this site and reading a few TechNet articles.

When I first stepped into modifying Wizard ROMs I spent a lot of time gathering relevant info from the posts here. A lot of useful information that applies to most HTC devices can be found in the generic hacking forum on this site, as well as the device-specific areas. The real enablers of all this are the tools from itsme and machinagod and others...

I haven't spent any time on the Wizard ROM stuff in months since I'm in the middle of a job search. I see faria and others have really stepped up their efforts and are still providing great resources for others...that's awesome.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] NeoAlpha1:
I have solved both problems. Through some troubleshooting steps, I connected to 2 different machines and it works. It turns out the problems is not the PPC, it's the computer Bluetooth driver. I have a dongle!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] NeoAlpha1:
Summiter, can you upload the ROM again. I think the version that's on the ftp site is the wrong file. Although the name is correct but the actual ROM is wrong. I just flashed my friend's G3 and it's doesn't match up with mine's.

I would like to know a way to do this as I live in Australia and Cingular stuff is useless. Is there a way to remove Cingular stuff from your ROM?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] stainlesspc:
As for cingular stuff.

Does this include Getmail and such ?

And what have you done to the registry, tweaks and such ??

Mine was getting flakey last week about the time the last ROM came out and I was tempted but time made me wait and glad I did.

I ended up going back like I was but may try this new one now :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 100Tbps:
The left + right arrows along with the little E or G are present in 2.17. I added the registry hack to add the GPRS disconnect button and timer but I doubt this changed the default behavior.

It's not push-email specific (because I haven't configured push e-mail) - it's just showing if it's Edge or GPRS and that it's connected. It goes away when it's connected via USB and Activesync is going.

In this ROM wi-fi and gprs/edge may stay connected at the same time (in older ROMs, I think, connecting to wi-fi was dropping gprs connection). I guess small E (or G) over signal indicator is to show, that you are still connected through gprs while big E/G is replaced with wi-fi connection indicator. Seems like the smart way to put more information using less space on status bar. On the other hand, information provided in the tool-tips (clicking on indicators) is very confusing when one is connected to gprs, ActiveSync and wi-fi at the same time…

You need to unlock your CID. There is a link earlier in this thread pointing the post. Basically just downgrade to a special 1.08 ROM that has the correct nbf (sp?) file, then run lokiwiz 0.2b u and c and try again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] skint:
summiter,

Just wanted to thank you for this excellent release.

And for anyone out there who is running above 2.21, I can verify that I was able to downgrade to faria's ROM and CID/SIM unlock. This was after a failed upgrade/downgrade to 2.24. IPL showed 2.24, everything else was 2.25, OS was listed as AKU 2.2. Downgrading faria's ROM from here yielded IPL 1.08 / SPL 2.25 (I was a little apprehensive here), but after unlocking and moving back to the 2.24 ROM everything is solid.

Build feels great so far, rifty nifty E and G tower icons are ... nifty and rifty. I used registry wizard and noticed most of the better settings are already in place. The only one that I really changed was the clock setting, it was set to not show. That setting caused some slight clipping and obviously I had no idea what time it was :)

I haven't had a ton of time to test the wireless, but I can verify that I have not locked up yet while in G mode (this was not the case in previous releases).

I do have one small comment about the themes, is anyone else getting a shaded area at the top and bottom of their screen. For me it is covering up the top 1 3/4 lines and the bottom task manager. If that is by design, then please ignore.

Oh yeah, good job.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
No problem, glad it's working well for you. RE: the themes...yep, those great themes were made for AKU 2.0, where the battery replaced the clock on the task bar, and the date line was 2 lines instead of 1. Now that the date line is back to a single line (and the clock back in the task bar), the shading doesn't line up properly. The themes were created by a user here, so I'll track him down and see if he plans to update them. If not I might be able to do something with them in Photoshop.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Thanks for the info - Pocket Plus and Opera are two apps I've seen folks having problems with on the last ROM. Glad to see they work OK since they are very popular.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hellacopterous:
i did a little testing with the fonts in the roms and this is what i found

in the "official" cingular aku2.2 release (not summiter's modded one) we find these fonts:

albw.ttf

albwb.ttf

albwbi.ttf

albwi.ttf

cour.ttf

cumbwb__.TTF

cumbwbi_.TTF

cumbwi__.ttf

Cumbwr__.ttf

MTSORTS_.TTF

SymbolMT.TTF

tahoma.ttf

tahomabd.ttf

THOWB___.TTF

THOWBI__.TTF

THOWI___.TTF

THOWR___.TTF

in summiter's latest 2.3 we find these

albw.ttf

albwb.ttf

albwbi.ttf

albwi.ttf

calibri.ttf

calibrib.ttf

calibrii.ttf

calibriz.ttf

cour.ttf

cumbwb__.TTF

cumbwbi_.TTF

Cumbwr__.ttf

MTSORTS_.TTF

seguibd.ttf

seguibk.ttf

SymbolMT.TTF

tahoma.ttf

tahomabd.ttf

THOWB___.TTF

THOWBI__.TTF

THOWI___.TTF

THOWR___.TTF

the different being that summiter's rom has these fonts extra, that the official cingular doens't

calibri.ttf

calibrib.ttf

calibrii.ttf

calibriz.ttf

seguibd.ttf

seguibk.ttf

(edit: i listed too many fonts here, fixed)

(also, calibri is supposed to be a font for windows vista, whats it doing here?)

that could be the source of the odd font issue. or i could be off my rocker.

summiter, i'd really love a link to the latest version of typhoon nbf tools, the one you use to unpack nb.nbf files. the binaries that i find will not unpack the msot recent roms. you mentioned v5 once, and all i find is v4.

also, where are you getting the ext-rom and other stuff from? from the older cingular releases, or the latest aku2.2 release?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
The more eyes looking at the problem, the quicker a solition will be found..However..the calibri and segoe fonts were in 2.17 and that one didn't have this issue. Most of the fonts listed are part of Clearvue PDF. Tahoma is the default system font.

I'm still looking into this - there's a chance that during extraction one of the resource files wasn't properly extracted.

Parts of the extended ROM come from the leaked Cingular 2.25 - hence the same wacky connections settings. I removed the cabs that disable LEAP and automatic TZ selection just so folks could have those options if they want them.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hellacopterous:
i didn't mention it at the time, because I "downgraded" to the cingular official aku2.2 rom, but your cooked 2.2 (225111_beta_custom_a2dp_thms_rngrs) also had the weird font in the comm manager.

i'll go back and check a few different versions of the roms i've collected to see what fonts are around in each one.

edit: of course, this isn't the world's worst problem, but it could be indicative of other problems

edit2: fixed meaning

as you can see, the crc32 values for each font are the same throughout the roms, so we can tell that a) it's the same file, and b) it isn't corrupted or otherwise mangled.

I saw mention about problems upgrading / downgrading in another thread but can't locate it now. Could you wrap some extra words around the "newer than 2.21" issue?

For example, does this mean I can easily go from 2.17 to 2.24 but could possibly have a problem if I choose to upgrade or downgrade away from 2.24? Or maybe I'll have a problem just getting to 2.24 in the first place? I used Lokiwiz02b when the phone was at 1.8 in order to move to 2.17.

Thanks for extra clarification.

Radio version is the same, but md5 checksum is different.

summiter,

I'm on T-Mobile USA using 8125 and I get better signal with Cingular's "official" 2.25 ROM's radio vs. this ROM (which, ironically, is based on T-Mo ROM). I get 3 vs. 1 bar in the same spot- tested multiple times. Of course it might be just the way how different OS builds show signal- I can't tell difference in phone conversation quality.

I just compared radio dums (using aWizard) from this ROM (Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST.exe) and the "official" 2.25 from Cingular (RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe). Both say it's 02.25.11, but when I did md5 checksum it was different. So bit by bit, it is not the same.

I will try to flash just OS part (AKU2.3) on Cingular's 2.25 ROM- will post result.
