Re: problem installing 2.26 rom update

strange, have you rebooted your computer? you might have to try to re-install activestink
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
my latest beta did not include an updated 2.26 bootloader, i didnt want G4 owners to brick their phone..

and there was only 1 other case where one person kept getting the rgb screen.. But he had a G4 and from the numbers you indicated you have a G3... i am still waiting on a pm from him to see what he did to fix it

I am getting the following error when I try to load my 8125 with the newest official cingular rom after having use Molski's.

This NBF file can not be used on you PDA. Please get NEWER NBF file.

Is there anything I can do...or should i just load this ROM. I only wanted to go stock as I am selling the phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
First, this is the wrong thread to ask for help upgrarding to the official Cingular ROM. That said, downgrade to Button's 1.05 ROM then you can upgrade back to anything.

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Actually shogunmark, that opendns is quite nice. I'm making it my DNS forwarders on my Windows 2003 servers. Like the way that it fixes some typos, like I typed google.co and it found the right site, way cewl! Gonna test it for phishing..

Makes my 8125 much more responsive on the web, thanks again!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slimsaturn:
I did Downgrade to buttons rom and the SPL still shows 2.26. I guess I will try
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yellowdragon:
Or try flashing their official ROM at http://www.america.htc.com/support/cingular_8125_downloads.html
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slimsaturn:
This the ROM i tried loading and gave me this error..Thanks though
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
I'm sure that you're running a G3 ROM... right? (ie no .00001 seen??)

If you downgrade to the 1.05 and it STILL reports 2.x IPL and or SPL then run the lokiwiz 2b. Look for the faria thread regarding this.

Good luck!

(and you said that you were running the molski ROM ....)

Re: ROM Download

With IE you need to click on File then Login AS and put your info in there. With Firefox you need FireFTP. Best bet is to use a real FTP client ...

Just my 2 cents..

Beta TOM

Hello All,

I have had no issues with this Beta ROM. Went back to an older ROM, Unlocked CID and SIM once again. This time I am positive that it worked.

Loaded Beta and have had no issues. Fast, reliable, no soft restarts out of no where, no sunpass issues. All software appears to work fine right now. When opening keyboard to send text message down arrow will not advance to message area. Using left key fixes this.

Everything is well.

Now I get to root around and have fun with this new ROM. I just finished installing it.

Thanks again.

Does this ROM not update the IPL? Cause after I loaded it the ipl stays at 1.05.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jtatum:
The URL in the first post is wrong... it currently reads:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp@ftp.xda-developers...

there's an extra @ sign there, (@ftp) should be:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers...

can't wait to try it out, I had the problem mentioned a few pages ago where i applied this to a stock 8125. my IPL and SPL were so old, I thought I bricked the device. Rebooting to bootloader and loading the cingular update fixed it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] guyver2077:
are u certain. I'm using your a la carte and ipl and spl show 2.26 at bootup
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
if you have the ext rom installer in the programs menu you have to be using my a la carte, it wasnt included in the first beta... unless someone ripped off dazzling daz's installer
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
thats weird, i wonder how that happened... i copy and pasted all the links.. oh well, corrected... thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
i have posted this several times already... if i could find the pages right now i would just copy and paste the links.. however..

i did not include an updated IPL/SPL so you will have some very very slow issues.. i did not want to brick anyone's G4 ... you will need to flash a version with an updated IPL/SPL then flash my a la carte version, then everything will be good!

yes it does.not to put you off but that rom is for beta testers only.it can be very confusing for newbies,.thats why it is protected,plus we dont want people asking the same questions again and again because they did not enrol in testing from the beguining.but if u are sure that can contribute,and know you way about roms maybe we can help you out.

anyway the rom will be out soon............

Download Update

OK, here is some feedback in case it might help somebody else. I tried installing the current beta and it worked except that the phone part of the 8125 was not available. I could not access phone functions at all even though the PDA functions were there.

I was using Summiter's 2.24 ROM so the IPL/SPL were older versions. I grabbed the 2.26 cingular ROM from Shogun/Putt? and then reloaded the beta and now everything seems OK. I'll have to play with it some more but it seems pretty fast.

I'm glad I made this move right before the next version comes out! ;-)

Have to be careful not to hijack the thread - but thanks for the DNS info.

Seems to work pretty smoothly. Still not as fast as using the Cingular Proxy, which usually hits over 200 kbps, but doesn't allow me to stream my XM radio.

Thanks again for the tip. Public beta still all good.

thanks alot

thx for info
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ZzFDKzZ:
This is by far the fastest and most stable rom I have ever try. But one big problem is that it consumes a lot of battery life. I was on the phone for no more then 2 mins and it drop from 100% to 96%. Then I call my voicemail and probably was on for again no more then 2 mins and it drop down to 93%. 1 hour later without even using the phone at all I check and it was down to 86%. Is anyone else having this problem?

Also Activesync keeps popping up. I have always use vBar to close and see what programs are running. Everytime I close activesync a few mins later it pops up. May this is why my battery life decreases a lot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] anothersmith:
I have noticed this as well. I assumed it was due to omapclock plus, I'm overclocking to 240. I have since discontinued it and am at 180mhz still to early to tell if there is a difference. I keep constant tabs on what programs are running and close out all open programs when done, Definitely using more batter than my last Rom (summiter 2.17)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
i personally think its gonna be a few weeks yet, i am waiting on a new one from faria so i can make my changes, then get it out to my testers, and i only have one day off this weekend.. so i would say at least a week, maybe 2, depending on the bugs, etc
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
i havent noticed an excessive battery drain, and mine is overclocked to 252 constantly.. but your not being able to close active sync correctly could be due to wclose.exe program in the start up folder, this is the one that gives you the red x and asks you if you want to close yes/no... well it dont seem to work on active sync
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ZzFDKzZ:

Battery Life

I have noticed the same thing. Battery life is dropping fast, but this ROM is awesome!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
I know! Site is faster and looks better but the fact that the links no longer work but "error 404" is a real PIA! Takes searching to a whole new level!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dcdivenut:
I am not sure if ti the case with this ROM, but I notiecd when I upgraded to 2.25 ROM from Summitter that the battery life seemed to suck at first but then leveled off. I know that some of it had to do with the direct push addition (I upgraded from 1.8) but to sum up the gist of several long threads I think that with a major new ROM it simply takes time to adjust. I knwo that makes no logical sense, but it seems to hold true.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
well i dont know about that, lol i use mine excessively, between calls and mail and internet, gps, wifi.. its amazing my battery last more than an hour, lol.. i dont know if it would get better after time, since i am part creator i am always making changes, reflashing.. or hard resetting (damn freeware)

This is a known issue with upgrading ROMs...not to worry. Anytime you upgrade ROMs the system needs a few full power-up and drain cycles before it regulates battery usage or some crap like that. Anyway, power it up, use it til it nearly dies, repeat, then everything will be fine.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ZzFDKzZ:
hmmm I have upgrade plenty of times and never had this happen. But I'll try that. So I should leave it till like 5% charge it to 100% then drop it to like 5%?

i have been using this rom for about 3 -4 weeks now i guess.. and i have 2 issues ..

the internet connections is awful.. i checked all the setting so i am unsrue why and think the issue resides deaper.. it consistanly drops or takes a very very long time to connect.. (this is via cingular data). If i hook into my wifi all is good.

the second i just noticed and never really noticed before.. but when i "lock" my phone the clock stops.. once i unock it refreshes to the correct time..

other than those i think its great and very snappy..

I dont have any add on applictions installed either as i was waiting on the final release with you guys but i am considering going back to the summiter ROM as the DATA connection is driving me nuts..

anythoughts ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
I'd change the DNS servers to those form OpenDNS The link to the PDA sction is Windows Mobile 5

I've had various connection issues with this ROM that are quite bizarre. Right now I'm using the UWC with the latest T-Mobile GSM to see if that helps.

I don't lock my device so's I have no experience with that clock issue.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DUlrich1227:
thanks for the links.. it seems to have helped..

just out of curiosity if you dont lock your phone what do you use to keep the buttons from being pushed or from dialing out when its holstered ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
the connection thing dr. p already covered, and its not the rom, its just the awful DNS servers used by cingular on the isp.cingular connection... as far as the clock stopping... that is strange, cause i know that mine didnt do it i dont think... i only used my latest public beta for about a week, and i lock my phone all the time, but dont remember an issue with the clock stopping.. or i could just have a horrible memory... but i dont think it did it
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DUlrich1227:
DR p's words -I've had various connection issues with this ROM that are quite bizarre

and i think you need to check your memory than.. it does it and i cant figure out why.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
Dr. P is using a different beta that wasnt made for cingular.. nor is it publicly available

which of the roms are you using? there are 2 versions on the ftp server... i just loaded my latest public one "A La Carte".. i went into the settings and made sure my screen wouldnt turn off, then locked my phone and waited.. it changed time just like it should.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jpmche:
I lock my phone all the time and the clock is working properly too. I'm using "A la Carte" in a Cingular 8125 (G4). Its working by the book. Thanks folks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DUlrich1227:
i am using the one you mention... and its no big deal but i am telling you it doees it and it doesnt refresh until its unlocked.. yet it will tell me i have new mail ... so its almost like the title bar freezes if locked... very odd
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DUlrich1227:
hmm odd now my phone will make me seam silly..

Re: upgraded 2.26 ROM

i didnt like the yes/no close at first, but when you choose yes it fully closes it, not just minimize.. at any rate.. my final version will let you choose what you want to install ;)

as far as it not recognizing the sim.. hmmm, so far your the only one that had this issue... on regular phones with no mods i know this is usually a defective or loose sim or maybe even a loose sim, and your phone didnt do this prior to the rom change?!? Would the rom even cause this... hmmm i am gonna have to check around on this, im baffled.. but your right, who wants to use a phone as a phone anyway :D

WClose ( annoying Red X ! )

In the meantime please delete the wclose shortcut from \windows\startup to get rid of the annoying red X. I use it in conjunction with Smartskey as so many of my clients use the stylus a lot and close (they think) with the X instead of holding the Contacts key to close.

SIM and BT

I have been able to use my BT headset to voice dial by pressing the multi func. button (moto hs810) now this button brings up phone and voice dial is not in Settings menu ??? honestly no big deal...

Now I have never had issue with SIM before. Now during a call I will be cut off and get an icon where bars are of sim card shape with "x" over it and/or antenna with no bars "searching" in areas where have had full coverage. says "no sim or unrecognized sim may only make emergency calls dependant on carrier."

Have unlocked phone with cing sim card, maybe not related to ROM but pretty big coincidence, minor annoyance at this time reset seems to temporarily treat but no telling how long I can talk before cuts out, anyway can't wait for final and forgot to say love having A2DP!
