Has anyone gotten the ROM update to work via infra-red? Or is it recommended?

I still am not able to get by USB cable to sync despite repeted efforts to follow advise in the forums, hard resets, re-installs, etc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Not gonna happen via IR for various technical reasons.

Describe your exact problem a little more, and what you've attempted thus far and I'll see if I can help ya out.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] wingzerothree:
this is a problem with your computer. try a different one
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DUlrich1227:
not sure what you tried but do this..

First put the phone into bootloader mode (took out the battery, put it back in again, pressed and held camera button and powered on)

you will see the multicolored screen

it will show the usb icon in the bottom right even though active sync doesnt kick it on .. you then need to CID unlock your phone and go backwards with the roms install the cingular ship rom..

9/10 times its the USB cable, the other tenth I've seen it as a USB hardware problem. In either event, your local Radio Shack should be able to help you out with solving the problem. The cable (260-0176) is about $20, and a replacement internal USB card (250-3221) which is in few stores, but at a steal for also $20 (so if the cable doesn't work, return/exchange it for the USB card). One of these solutions should solve your problem.

A free method you can attempt is deleting ALL the USB root hub in your device listing, restarting your computer, and allowing it to re-setup all the USB root hub information again. Perhaps you got something missing, or pointing to a wrong hardware address. We all know how winblows blows... =)

my phone is already cid unlock, so now i would need to go back to the rom that was first on the phone from cingular, than update from that to the 2.25 ?

thanks

If you're sure it's CID unlocked, you can flash to any ROM you like - no need to reflash to stock first.

I tried this. I did a SPB backup, updated the ROM, and did a full restore. I ended up with a toasted phone. I had to find a link here (I love this site) to the origional stock rom and restored to that, then restored my SPB backup and I was up and running.

Re: AD2P

My 2 cents.... I have A2DP working on my 8125/2.25. I've upgraded to the latest 2.25 rom not woried about unlocking either... So far I have not had any problems with performance, connections, or network functions. Here is the link of what I did....

I called Cingular data support and they patched in HTC on the call. The ROM file will be reposted some time today, HTC said. They were unable to give exact time.

Re: help?

I have spent the time here. Daily. I can usually figure things out but with all the talk about first SIM unlocking, CID unlocking, how that may affect your ability to downgrade to the original Cingular ROM if you have an issue has for me become very confusing. I would not ask for help without giving an effort. I know a lot of people do.

I previously owned an SMT 5600 and did the upgrade from Windows Mobile 2002 to 2003. It SEEMED much easier. Maybe its just in my head!

What a stupid mistake

Cingular has press releases, a nice glossy page on their Web site, and then someone uploads a corrupted file. It's OK for people on this site who 'get it', but how many average users have already tried to download and install this corrupted file?

Even more amazing, someone in this thread mentioned that HTC was aware of the problem and would fix it 'sometime today'. How hard is it to upload a single file to a Web server? You think they'd make that somewhat of a priority.

Just bizzare.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jschaff:
MOST people who read the press release and can afford this phone are business types who are NOT tech types. They will be taking their phones into Cingular stores to get them upgraded. The cingular reps will then find that this file is corrupt and start pushing to get a valid replacement.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Delta5:
It's still absurd that the corrupt file is out there on the site. It would take a web admin 30 seconds to remove that link and replace it with 'Coming Soon!'

Cingular's PDA support number is +1 800 304 3044

They have no farking clue what is going on.

HTC's number (to which Cingular will direct you after they make it clear they have no farking clue) is +1 877 878 6944

They will tell you that it take a whole day to post a new file to a web site. The idea of actually testing a download when they post it appears to be lost on them.

Call them both.

Well, considering I stumbled on to this topic a bit late, I'd wait to download until the file has stabilized in size for some period of time - or until HTC support says it's ok to download.

What is likely happening is that they have multiple download servers on the back end, and when you hit the link, you get a random server, which may or may not have the correct version of the file.

I just tried 5 minutes apart and got a 50mb file first, then a 25mb file....

hope this is helpful...

I think you screwed up in previous ROM update. Your ROM version is 1.8 while everything else is 2.25. The new official ROM is the same 2.25 someone posted here a few weeks back.

So what's the word on this ROM yet? Is it basically the same beta that was released a few weeks ago? Is there anything that's been updated since then? I'm still using summiter's AKU2.3_Custom_TEST2 ROM (and Cingular radio) and it's been great. Just wondering if it's worth the upgrade.

One thing about that TEST2 ROM though. I've noticed my phone will sit at 100% for quite a while, but then seems to lose its juice fairly quickly. I don't know if that's the ROM or an app I'm using. Do today screen apps generally drain the battery faster? I'm using Spb Pocket Plus, Spb Diary, and SBSH PocketWeather.

One possible explanation I read is that every time you flash to a new ROM, the phone OS lost calibration of battery and still display incorrect battery meter. Let it drain and recharge for a few cycles and you will get an accurate meter after that.

Initial Report after 5 minutes of use...

Seems a little bit snappier. Menus pop up with a little more authority now.

More free RAM at boot up. I've got 26+MB of program memory free at clean boot. I used to have about 22MB. Every little bit helps!

Where'd the proxy settings go? No option for proxy server under connections like there used to be. Hmmm...

GPRS seems to connect 2 or 3 seconds faster than it used to. Maybe in my head, but I swear it seems faster.

Auto update network time isn't enabled, nor is there an option to do so (unless tweaking the registry works with this version - haven't tried to do so yet).

ActiveSync - Running 4.2 on the desktop and it seems better. I was having a real problem with syncs in that the first sync after a reset was fine, but subsequent reconnects and syncs would almost always lock up or fail out. I've just done 5 back-to-back syncs with no problems. Yeah!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: And Summiter's final verdict is...?

Meh.

And to expand on that remark... It's the same ROM that leaked a while back. The only useful thing about it is the radio, which folks prefered over the 2.25 radio that came from a T-MO ROM.

There's not much to do with it, except that I am rebuilding the AKU 2.3 ROM with a leaner extended ROM customization, and some updated themes. It will have the radio from the Cingular 2.25 ROM.

I should have an AKU 2.5 ROM shortly and those who like to be on the bleeding edge can give it a whirl. If the radio in it stinks, I'll put the 2.25 radio all up in that bad boy.

Leaner ExtROM? You mean pulling out some customizations?

Also - could you please have a look into the themes because all but the default windows/cingular theme have this annoying grey shaded area at the top and bottom (this coming from the TEST2 rom posted before).

As with you, I'm hoping to pick apart the new rom HTC posts... but apparently they pulled it for the time being as it was corrupt (suppose to be 73mb uncompressed, was 41mb... and the whole ruu was 39.1mb - htc went on a diet!).
