How to get upgrade for Cing Direct Push (Xpress Push?)

Summiter - like so many others here- I thank you for your excellent rom (and all of your helpful responses to so many questions and issues) which I have used to upgrade my Cing 8125 to 2.24.10 WWE by your latest rom file - unlike the latest official cingular rom upgrade to 2.25, yours did not seem to have the xpress push (direct push) file that appears in the programs screen on the Cingular upgraded 8125 - I am sorry if this has been answered else where (I have read every post I could find and searched widely without finding an answer) or if I am missing something very obvious but I'd appreciate any advice you or others can offer. Also, might there be a file I can download that would add this file and capability to the 8125 that is currently upgraded with you latest rom set. Many thanks!

Ugly icons in Start Menu with apps on SD

On this ROM, if I put shortcuts to executables located on Storage Card in the Start Menu upon soft-reset the icons for these sortchuts turn into ugly DOS-app-looking icons. The apps still launch and work fine... it is just the ugly icons driving me apesh*it :-P

This happens on a hard-reset as well, but does NOT happen if the customizations from ExtROM are canceled after a hard reset.

Any ideas on how to fix this annoyance?

??? Maybe I did something wrong...

Hello summiter,

I have tried three times to load your new ROM using your new installer. Every time it lands at 98% it hangs for 10-12 minutes (that's the average of the three attempts). When it completes, it goes threw the normal windows startup then it says its going threw customizations.. it listed summsummcab etc. wizard reboots and then it’s the stock rom. None of your customizations appear. In the program files directory it has a folder named summ with a sub folder named summ with nothing else in the folders. Any ideas...

TIA

Cing Xpress Push CAB file

Hi Summiter - I tried to load the Cingular Xpress Push CAB file you listed above - I put it on my miniSD Card and ran it from there (it did not give me a choice to load on the device vs the card) - it ran without any apparent glitch but I do not see any evidence of the Xpress Push program/ Did I do something wrong (perhaps I should load the CAB file on the device and run it from there?) or am I missing the program somewhere

Thanks very much
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Re: ??? Maybe I did something wrong...

the summ summ cab file is a combination of recommended or prefered registry edits/hacks that you will not see directly, but see more or less indirectly. key hint is if you don't have a message sent box pop up after every message, you have the cab successfully installed.

another is a dot or 'C' showing up near the keyboard icon on text edit screens, this shows you when the modifier keys are pressed, its kinda nice if you ask me.

you won't see it show up in the programs listing because they're registry changes.

I was hoping to get the same file/functionality that comes with the official Cingular 2.25 ROm which was not part of Summiter's latest ROM upgrade. When I loaded the CAB file it did not give me the xpress push program from the latest Cingular ROM upgrade - perhaps it did and I just cant find it??

Re: ??? Maybe I did something wrong...

I thought I'd wait a while as I was sure you were going to get flamed. I very surprised that no one's jumped on you yet.

You're new but that's no excuse. You need to .. first of all.. read the WIKI. Second you need to go through the postings in the Wizard section and also the Wizard Upgrading section.

If you'd done the first (or the second) you'd realize that you have to unlock your phone. Period. Faria and others have documented the steps. http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?...&start=0&sid=07fe38f7fd43a39238c55d01410a0940 If you have a new phone with a G4 chip you're not in luck yet. gamescan documents the difference here http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=54578

I'm not familiar with the G4 but I will tell you what I know about the previous version. You need to follow faria's steps to the letter. Don' skip the copying of the enable rapi cab to the device and executing it. You need to extract the Lokiwiz to, preferably, the root of your hard drive. Spaces in the folder name nor accepted. Heads up ... when you run the lokiwiz batch file and select "U" and the "C" your device will reboot each time. If it doesn't it's not unlocked and you will get the result that you're experiencing.

Please feel free to read the WIKI and then spend some considerable time reading past post's regarding this.

I'm not trying to give you a fish but rather to teach you how to fish so please don't harbor bad feelings as none are shown towards you.

Re: Ugly icons in Start Menu with apps on SD

Same thing is happening to me with the Cingular official 2.25 ROM. It does sometimes show the correct icons. One way for me is to go to Start, Settings, Menu. All I have to do is check an item on and off then click Ok and the icons appear. I know they have appeared before by not doing that, but I don't know what I did to trigger it to display them.

I just want to say I love you (Stevie Wonder)

Hi there! I purchased a very nice 8125 a few weeks ago from ebayer. Device worked marvelous. Even installed Goodlink. Installed some other app after that and the device started freezing. Had that stupid white screen problem. Investigation shows that it has something to do with versions of Good and such. Anyhow, I learned how to hard reset the device. I didn't get the white screen of death anymore but the thing would constantly freeze forcing a soft reset. Usually after a call.

Well. I installed this wonderment of an upgrade you have here. The device was instantly nociably faster. I've noticed some other changes, all positive. So far, even though it's only been a couple of hours I have to say the device is still working in an unfrozen state. Maybe too much to hope for, but I'm very optomisitc.

I've since used ORB TV on the device. It's still not frozen. Wonderful. So proud of you guys. Do I dare try to install Goodlink again? I'm scared. Very afraid. Maybe I should send this to you guys and have you install it.

Re: issue with this ROM

[/quote]

I'm still looking at several things, but I have a quick guess at something that could effect Money syncing. Do you happen to have a software firewall or other network security apps running on your PC? With the first WM5 release, MS changed from serial-over-USB to using a networking protocol for Activesync. Early on this caused quite a support headache since some software firewalls didn't play nice.

If you do use a software firewall, perhaps you can switch back to serial AS and see if it changes any behavior with Money. You can switch to serial by going to Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC and unchecking the "Enable advanced network functionality box.

In theory the AS behavior should be th4e same between the 2.17 ROM and the AKU 2.3 ROM (both default to using NDIS for AS), but I thought I'd throw this on the table just the same.[/quote]

Hi, I am having ActiveSync problem as well after upgrading from 2.22. ActiveSync stays in "retrieving settings" forever untill I press the power botom or disconnect. I noticed the new USB setting you mentioned in this build and uncheck it resolved the problem. I do not have firewall installed in this laptop. BTW, is there a cab file will add this USB setting? I am in need of that cab file for my other device that is running different language build, 2.18. TIA

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Re: Freezing

The problem may lie in the additional software you may have installed. To better help your problem, I'd say try a fresh flash, and seeing how it handles one app installed at a time. That would probably give you a better idea of what may be causing the slow-down.

I'd say if you have any SPB software, that could be a place where you would start suspecting slow downs.

Re: How to get upgrade for Cing Direct Push (Xpress Push?)

Sorry to harp on this - just trying to find an answer to my question about finding the same Xpress Push file that comes with the official Cingular 2.25 ROM but which did not seem to come with Summiter's latest ROM upgrade (at least there was no icon in the program menu). Summiter was kind enough to respond almost immediately with a CAB file but when I loaded the CAB file it did not give me the xpress push program that is included in the latest Cingular ROM upgrade - perhaps it did and I just cant find it?? I have quoted my original question below about finding the file that comes with the latest Cingular ROM (there is an icon for Xpress Push that appears in teh program menu) - Again, sorry if this is obvious or has been dealt with alread (I have searched and read widely without an answer) - thanks to all and particularly to Summiter.

Well, once again, I upgraded my Cingular 8125 to Summiter's latest 2.3ROM. But, I almost had a heart attack when I did it.

Anytime I've flashed a ROM before, I get it started and leave the room because that 10 minutes can seem like 10 hours when you're just sitting there watching the numbers -- ESPECIALLY when the progress bar hits 98%. Only, last night when I came back into the room, my desktop was showing the "blue screen of death", with an IRQL error that had shut down Windows. The progress bar on my 8125 was at 45%.

I had to reboot my computer, disconnected the 8125 from the USB cable, and then reconnected it. Once I reconnected, it went to the bootloader screen. I'm literally holding my breath through all of this, wondering if I now have a fancy-looking paperweight.

But, once I restarted the upgrade process, all went well. THIS time, I DID sit and watch it -- just to make sure that it was going normally. PHEW!! I breathed a sigh of relief.

I am now happy to report that all is well with my 8125. . . seems even snappier than on the 2.17 ROM -- connected immediately to the internet via WiFi and GPRS Just had to reinstall some "base" apps, as practically all my programs are run from the storage card, so I just had to recreate the shortcuts on the Today Screen.

Once again, Summiter -- GREAT JOB!! THANK YOU!!

(BTW -- any ideas on what would cause the IRQL error on my desktop??)

Case Logic?

Hi there. This is going to seem odd. My HTC Wizard worked great when I got it. I got an aluminum case for it and it seems that's around when my phone lockup problems seems to have started. Between that and installing the wrong version of Good. Long story short, I took the phone out of the aluminum case last night and as of now (about 12 hours) the phone hasn't frozen at all. I just completed installing latest Good on it and it's still working.

Is it really possible that all my phone freezing lockup problems are tied to the aluminum case? I've heard others complain about BT and dropped calls because of this case, but really. Anyone else heard of anything this bazaar?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Re: Case Logic?

I'd say no. Nothing attached would have that effect I would think. Only thing that I could possibly say was going on is you've got a case messing with the radio in the phone, if it receives enough messed up radio - that may cause hiccups.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:

I recently updated using the multi installer but did not have my phone CID unlocked. I obviously did not get any of the "extra" additions such as themes etc. I just would like to know if I run lokwiz and CID unlock the phone if I can rerun the multi-installer again without a problem. ALso, if the answer is yes, should I choose option 1 or 2? I know this has most likely been covered but my search came up with no hits.

thanks in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 100Tbps:
You've asked a vague question. You didn't describe what versions you had to start or what you have now. CID unlocking is permanent once done successfully.

To answer your question: if your phone is CID unlocked, you can upgrade your ROM using summiter's tool.

Regarding your choices about option 1 or 2, well that depends on whether or not you choose to modify your bootloader. If you're asking for advice, the general advice is to not mess with your bootloader. At the same time, since we don't know what's on your phone and there are certain permutations of ROM versions and bootloader which may not work, you should read a bit more so you can define what you're trying to accomplish by upgrading.

Cingular 8125 Flash ROM Update

I flashed my Cingular 8125 to the ROM file posted in this thread, but I don't think I got any of the special customizations. I checked in Settings --> Today and didn't see any of the themes that were mentioned.

I ran the unlock program prior to flashing, and I know the unlock worked because I put in an original AT&T SIM and was able to make a call.

I just posted this in the other AKU 2.3 ROM thread but I thought I'd post again here as that thread seems dead (no posts for the last 11 days).

I 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 on my phone... 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. =)

Bricked my phone with the 2.3 multi-installer???

:( Is there nothing to be done? I had a phone whose touch screen was acting a little off. I used Cingular_Custom_AKU2.3_Combo_Installer_V1 after unlocking the device and it ran fine. When the OS first comes up it requires you to recalibrate your pointer tho, and since my touch screen was fouling up, I couldn't. I called Cingular and got a replacement phone this morning. I turned it on and let it load up its OS. I used ActiveSync and had a successful sync. I unlocked the device. I used Cingular_Custom_AKU2.3_Combo_Installer_V1 again to upgrade the OS. At 40% my computer unexpectedly rebooted. According to the messages that appeared when the computer came back up it was a driver error that caused the reboot (http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?SGD=aa971456-440a-4269-a79e-1f07bda35989&SID=10). I tried to run the installer again but it could not find the phone; ActiveSync could not be engaged. I powered the phone off and back on and just get the RGB screen. I tried to reset the device but nothing still. Am I completely screwed??

Thanks, Summiter, for another great ROM. I updated my stock ROM to your 2.17, and then updated to this ROM from that one. The phone is much snappier, and the battery life is fantastic. I can go two days without putting it on a charger. This is by far the best of the 3 ROMs I've used. Who makes that Task Manager you bundled with the ROM?
