No issues here with PPCContactsmgr.... I re-installed it after I found out what it was.

Registry Wiz does appear to need CF1 or gets confused by CF2, not sure which. I remember how I ended up installing it btw.... I was going for PHM Registry editor and remember that on the first time I (supposedly) nstalled it, the installation program complained about not having the right CF installed.... "funny", I thought, "I didn't think PHM needed CF". So I installed the cab "again" and it worked.... DOH!

I'll fire off a post to the reg wiz developer as soon as I find where the reg wiz thread is. For all I know, a more current version than mine may already fix this problem.

edit: I was right. The most current version of reg wiz (1.0U) does indeed fix this issue. It came up perfectly.

Ignore what the flash app tells you - it will always report 1.2 as being installed - that's a fake number that allows for downgrading. If you've had a custom ROM on your device before then it is CID unlocked.

Option 2 is everything you need if your device already has a version 2 bootloader.

great job once again !

i see some subtle changes that are perfect ! (time, option for wireless on home page, and afew other..)

i do notice this as well .. my data connection seems to be a bit better.. i never had the problem with dropping calls but i am able to use my data in places where i had only 1 bar now i have 3 :)

its funny your roms (even with out over clocking) are way more "snappy" in moving through the screens.. you would think these carriers would catch on...

My buddy just got a brand new phone from Cingular and I'm trying to help him. It does not have the G4 chip. It has:

ipl 2.25

spl 2.25

GSM 02.25.11

OS 2.25.11.1

My understanding is CID unlocking unlocks the IPL / SPL because those are the only two pieces of the ROM which are locked.

If this is true, can this new utility be used (selecting option 2) to obtain the 2.24.10.1 OS + the cool enhancements, and better radio - without CID unlocking? My guess is option 1 could be selected and it simply wouldn't work.

I thought about sending him into a retail store to try to swap it out for a 1.8 model and read where the G4 chips are showing up in stores so that's probably the worst solution for the moment.

Perhaps lokiwiz0.3 will be able to unlock this phone? I've seen posts where it does work and posts where it doesn't work so any opinions there are welcome, too! Can the phone can be downgraded to the stock 1.8 ROM on the FTP - then unlocked and tweaked?

Or maybe I'm completely wrong about CID unlocking and the OS is locked, too?

Thanks!

You have to download the ROM first. Find one of the cell carriers pervious roms and downgrade it... Then run the unlocker and it will work.

issue with this ROM

I am having a little difficulty with this ROM. I have not had trouble in the past (2.17 and TEST2) but here are my two problems with this one:

1 - I noticed that many files in this ROM are flagged 'system' or 'read-only.' I usually move around things like the Start -> Programs items and for the first time had to change the attributes on the files to do it. This is more of a nuisance than anything else, but I’m curious if anyone thinks that is a symptom of issue 2….

2 – I cannot sync MS Money anymore. On the PC, ActiveSync will get to “Reading Device Databases” and then freeze. I’m guessing its trying to read/write to a file on the PDA that is now Read Only but don’t know which file.

Any ideas on why certain file attributes would be different than previous ROMs?

Hi all,

I read often but rarely if ever post. I just flashed my 8125 from stock ROM to the latest Summiter posted. So far.. great. Runs well.. seems to run faster but not sure yet.

***IMPORTANT*** For anyone that my have GRAVE concerns about the ease of doing this.. I was quite fearful of how well it would work.. and having read other posts about potential issues... this is great.

Summiter.. great job and I look forward to using more of your ROMS.

For future reference, please be sure to post a link to a CID / SIM unlock utility. I'm on TMO so I had my SIM unlocked.. but never knew of CID till I googled a bit.

Overall.. amazing.

Read my son, read, and read a lot - no one here will be nice to you if you start yelling about your nice new bricked 8125 that became a $600 paperweight because you didn't read the threads.

I went investigating on the themes problems that I've had in previous roms, and I can report that several of the themes are better, and fixed, but also 9 of them are not. Here's the list:

Acquatic

Blue Vapor

Hawaiian Ocean Deep

Hawaiian Ocean

Nature Abstracted

Tiki of Doom

Tropical Paradise

Wonderous

Linked is each image I took on my phone. All the other themes seem to line up just fine.

oh no another one bites the dust

Hi,

I have a Wizard withIPL/SPL 2.21.0001 , I tried to downgrade the ipl/spl to 1.05 so that I can CID unlock it, then flash other language. ( Flashing with ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe did not work, it said something like the tool is too old for this IPl/SPl , try to use a newer tool)

I used a specail software to flash the IPL/SPl & rom to 1.05 IPL/SPL. This SW could bypass all the country_ID checking, & could flash any countyr's rom into any other country. The IPL was changed to 1.05. but the SPL still unchanged (2.21.0001). The radio rom disppear (become emplty), the OS has changed down to that of 1.05 rom.

So I ended up with an unusable phone.

The original Wizrad was:

IPL 2.21.0001

SPL 2.21.0001

GSM 02.19.11

OS 2.21.4.2

Now the flashed Wizard is:

IPL 1.05

SPL 2.21.0001

OS 1.12

I tried to flash a new IPL rom (2.16 ) but the IPL still 1.05.

So I though I could unlock it because the IPL is 1.05. I unlock it with lokiwiz, it said something about internal write failure.

Then my phone can never be power up again.

What is really happening in this new IPL/SPL 2.21.0001 ?

@ alynch75

What I'd try is a wonderful CSR with Cingular and saying "Left it to charge, now it won't power on... am I just having bad luck with these devices?" story. Hopefully you'll get a replacement.

On the story of unlocking... I'd give lokiwiz03MSL a shot and see what's up. Search for machinagod's posts, you'll find it in there. That I would say should successfully CID unlock, because it states working with SPL 2.xx's

Re: oh no another one bites the dust

my advice to you is this - stop bricking devices, especially when you don't know what you're doing and obviously haven't been reading relevant posts. I don't want the price I pay for devices to partially pay for folks who experiment, break a device, and then go running to their carrier for a replacement. if you want to play dangerously with your device, be prepared to eat the cost.

now go thouroughly read all the posts you can find on the g4 issues. and pay for a replacement wizard out of your own pocket thank you very much.

When I get home later I'll post a message regarding the current state of affairs and a gentler message on bricking and so on and so forth. I'm pretty sure that nothing will get the attention of the carriers and HTC like an outbreak of bricked devices going back to Cingular, or any carrier for that matter.

Re: issue with this ROM

I'm impressed with your methodology and documentation. I think it outlines quite well the process many folks here go through to diagnose issues, but rarely take the time to document.

I'll round up Money and do some checking. I don't think it's a file count limitation we're running into, but I'll confirm. If someone here knows the file instance limit in WinCE imgfs drop a note here.

All files that are in the raw ROM exist in the \Windows directory. During boot, the directory structures are created and files are "virtually" placed into appropriate subdirectories (and those directories are created). If a file destined for a subdirectory isn't marked hidden, it will appear in \Windows and the directory specified during boot.

Here's an example from the custom AKU 2.3 ROM:

The file "Fun01.wav" is in the \Windows directory. It is marked hidden so you can't see it there unless you view hidden files. It also appears in \Windows\Rings per a boot-time setup. Again all files in ROM exist in \Windows, and are linked into subdirs at boot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tylr:
Re: issue with this ROM

Thank you for the extensive testing. I too could not give up using Money for the updated ROM. I also experienced the same items you described (double entry sound files, etc.)

When I went back to TEST2 and installed all of my 'staple' applications I noticed the same issues... slow response, Money sync issues, and quick hangs. I began to backtrack my steps. I noticed that once I moved the "Help" shortcut back to the Start menu the issues seemed to go away. I would think that apps looking to call 'Help' would look to the app itself and not the shortcut, but moving the shortcut did alleviate the speed / sync issue. I’ll be surprised if this was truly the resolution. Money along with my other apps (SPB Pocket Plus, PPCProfilesPro, PhotoDialer, MarsWare Weather, MemMaid, Ilium NewsBreak, eWallet) are running great with this version. Let me know if you are successful with the reload of 2.3 w/ CF and I too will give it a try.

I too have 'lurched' here for a while and am now starting to try and contribute.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tylr:
Re: issue with this ROM

I think the common thread seems to be reading and writing back to the device. Money and the files you referenced seem to be just examples that illustrate another problem. Does this help: On TEST2 I can move / delete files fine without changing the attributes of any file. The ROM with CF I have to change the atrributes of the file (Archive, System, Hidden) before I can move or delete them. I always rearrage my Start -> Programs and the latest ROM is the first where I have had to change the attributes of most of the files to do so.

Just out of curiosity, what type of storage card do you have?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xdadevelopersuser:
Re: issue with this ROM

I have not gotten a storage card yet, but I have one ordered.

The files I copied from the device to my machine HDD did keep the attributes, but this is a Windows function. I do not think that I changed any of the attributes. On TEST2, I never got to the point of moving things around. On Cingular's 2.25 ROM, I did re-arrange a few things with no problem.

On Summiter's 2.3 w/CF2, I can move the shortcuts using the WM5 File Explorer, but the ones installed by WM5 (Excel, Notes, etc.) will give the message:

"Moving 'specific shortcut' may prevent some programs from working. Continue?"

If I try to move those using XP's Windows Explorer on my machine, it throws an error due to the attributes. I do not remember trying to move files on the device using XP's Windows Explorer. I may have tried, gotten the message, and used the WM5 File Explorer instead. I am used to flaky behaviour on my main machine. I turn off any Service in XP that does not have an immediate need. I do not think that this is contributing to the problem because PPCProfilesPro has a problem whether connected or not.

PPCProfilesPro also defaults to the Normal profile when the Settings screen opens, but when the problem is present, it defaults to the Car profile. This is also repeatable with the Cingular 2.25 ROM. Adding one sound file causes the problem to manifest, and removing one sound file causes it to go away. Rinse and repeat with the same result.

This is why I think that there is something in the AKU2.x causing a problem. I would guess that an API or DLL call has changed slightly or a registry entry has been moved. Not enough to cause the app to fail, but enough to result in flaky behaviour. The folks on the GSM dropping thread seem to think that Agile Messenger is causing or is contributing to their problems with dropped calls. I have not read every post, but from what I gather AKU2.x is one of the problem space boundaries.

As usual, I could be wrong.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: issue with this ROM

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.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tylr:
Re: issue with this ROM

Good idea Summiter - I tried it with and without my software firewall. I also tried your suggestion before going back to TEST2 with no luck. I'm running TEST2 now with no sync errors through my firewall. Thanks for the thought.

T
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xdadevelopersuser:
Re: issue with this ROM

Same result. It hangs. It tried it with my Norton Firewall set to Permit All and to Automatic for both AutoSync entries and the Money entry. I did not disable the Firewall completely. I also de-selected Money from the Today screen. When I unchecked the USB to PC, I also did a soft reset.

This was done on your 2.3 w/CF2. Only Money and PPCProfilesPro were installed, and I had moved a few shortcuts in response to tylr. Otherwise it was a clean ROM install.

I will be flashing with Cingular's 2.25 ROM later, and if I find other problems, it will be back to your 2.17 ROM.

Hopefully, you or someone else can glean something of value out of these posts. I stopped living on the bleeding edge a while ago. If I can contribute anything else, I will. Your work is greatly appreciated.

text messaging not working with cingular blue after upgrade

I have an unlocked qtek 9100 that I purchased shortly after release.. I previously reflashed it with IMEI unlocked a few months ago prior to aku2 being released to one of button's custom roms and everything was working pretty well.. I decided i wanted to try the push mail support so I decided to run this installer and upgrade.. I must say the improvements were huge and I'm very happy with the upgrade except that for the life of me I can not get text messaging to work.

I am a former attws (cingular blue) customer with an attws sim and mmode unlimited account. I managed to get my mms and internet settings working right off the bat but text messaging simply will not function.

I verified that the service number is set to +19703769301 . I can receive text messages sent to me but when attempting to send them (even one sent to myself from my phone) I get a "your text message cannot be sent" error. I called cingular and they just tried to tell me to try the +1312 number as my service center. This did not help. I'm desperate to correct this and i'm not sure where to go from here.. does anyone have a current cingular blue (attws) cab with all of the correct settings and/or know what I should change?

CID unlocked?

Hey,

I was wondering... How can I check if my phone is CID unlocked? I remember running the unlocker, but it acted weird. After it was done (I guess) it just shut down on my desktop without any warning or information. After that I've loaded one of Summiter's ROMs, but (of course) I don't remember which one was that... Soooooo... now, I want to update it again, however I have no clue if my 8125 is CID unlocked or not...

Hi Summiter,

Thanks for all your work, this utility and the latest ROM seem to have worked very well on my Cingular 8125.

I think it would be nice if the utility would let you select the ROM you want to install as well as giving some options for the splash screen.

Thanks again.
