After using WM5torage from Shogun_A_La_Carte_Cingular_WWE_2.exe to move files from/to the MiniSD, my 8125 will lose all communication with Activesync (4.5 Beta2 and 4.0 Build 4343).

Upon connection, the computer reports a problem with the Generic RNDIS device. Disabling 'Advanced Network Functionality' in Connections->USB to PC does not work.

Only way I regained control of the phone is thru a hard reset. :evil:

Has anyone else seen this behavior? I'll not use WM5torage for the time being...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
would you try an experiment for me? would you be willing to downgrade back to activsync 4.2 and see if you get the problem...

it will be a difficult problem to solve without trying a version of activesync that works, I myself have had weird problems with 4.5 that I could only fix by either killin activesync and restarting it or rebooting the computer
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yellowdragon:
I'm downloading 4.2,,, Will let you know in a few minutes...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yellowdragon:
Activesync 4.2.0 Build 4855 Beta works great! Can activate/deactivate WM5torage without even having to disconnect the phone from the computer. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
excellent, thanks for doing that!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dcdivenut:
I started having a weird problem with Active Sync (but only at work) where I try to connect using my desktop cradle and I get some sort of RAPI error. Then the only way to shut down Active Sync is to restart the PC.

It started with 4.2, so I upgraded to 4.5 but I get the same error. Does this sound like the problem you are having? If so, and you solve it let me know.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
i have been getting that error with SOTI pocket controller (which also uses the activesync connection) after i updated to 4.5.. never had that issue prior..

let me research this problem...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yellowdragon:
Oh no, thanks to YOU! :)

I'll install this version of Activesync in my home computers, if you need/want someone to do testing with this particular version. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vcysion:
well it looks like we're still posting in here about the beta unreleased and if we are not please give me the link. i have my username and password also already from zero

Well, i think i had a problem when i flashed it because slowly little by little things stopped workin. activesync wouldnt open on my ppc. it wouldnt connect to the activesync on the pc (since it wouldnt open on the ppc i take it) the phone service wasnt workin but the gprs/edge would connect. and alot of other malfunctions started occurring so i couldnt reflash the rom since it wouldnt get detected on the pc at all so i ended up hard reseting it and now everything is workin BUT im sure the same thing is gonna happen so im gonna reflash and see what happens.

rom progress update

hi guys

imp so happy .i have to share this major development with you

I have cracked the wizard rom security by accident.

So now u don’t need the cert -disable-security .cab into the device

No more security prompts coming up. Lovely.

Re: rom progress update

lol thats some good ****. i just reflashed the unreleased beta and its workin marvoulously. i didnt even notice that it wasnt overclocked yet and its goin fast.

I was wondering if maybe we can get cascading start menu and/or a taskbar type thing that shows all ya open windows so you can easily change between windows. thats really the only reason i use wisbar advanced 2, that and to give it the vista skin lol but it seems like that slows down my device. if there is something already available in the rom that does that, i apologize for askin and can you point me to the program lol. i havent installed wisbar yet on this new rom hopin to find a new method even though i really do like wisbar so if all else fails i'll install that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
Re: rom progress update

or a taskbar type thing that shows all ya open windows so you can easily change between windows

....thats what the AlTab.exe suposed to do ...map it to a hardware button

or enter the folowing comand in PHM traylaunch; [windows\AlTtab.exe] now u have alttab icon in the today tray.

i found this for an Rss today plug in.. it takes a little bit of configuration.. but seems to work..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vcysion:
Re: rom progress update

yeah but then i have to minimize all the windows just to get to the today tray lol. by then id already found the window i wanted lol and i really dont want to map it to a button tho :( i like the way my buttons are mapped but i might do that

Hey Hey - just checking in - my business "trip" has turned into the worst fcuking nightmare ever.

Anyone that knows Moss-side or Salford areas of Manchester will know what I mean as that is where I have been residing for the contract work I have been doing the last couple of weeks.

Not nice.

And for those in the States read moss-side = bronx pop a cap in yer ass :D

As of next week I will be all back at home in my lovely safe development environment - and will be able to get going again.

Till then.....just pray for me that I don't get shot.....

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pencilcase:
i just installed the betarom today and the first thing i noticed is way faster start times than before, extra programs are great but what i am missing is the cascading start menu from wisbar advance ... wisbar advance makes the device so much slower though... would be great if this could be added in some way... will do some more testing later
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
thanks for the input.

wisbar will not be integrated into the rom,it slows down the device like hell

plus it is a comercial app. the end user can install if he wishes. sorry. [i belive that the members of the unhappy-wife club agree wit me.]

i another note.......

i belive we need a simple but free crap cleaner [to clean temp files etc]

please post your sugestions.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] thankins:
Re: Ahhhh

I just did a soft reset on it, and it went back to my old ROM. I am about to test a new one that shogunmark sent me. I will post the results of it as soon as it is done.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
i can agree to all the above faria.. gotta stay with good freeware anyway to avoid any kind legal issues...

and is there a good cleaner?? only things i have ever been able to find is memory cleaners...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pencilcase:
well thats why i want the cascading start menu in some way or another because i want to get rid of wisbar BECAUSE it slows it down like hell. I just tried around a bit including installing a few extra apps like ETEN dialer and zphone skins everything worked fine. I do have one major issue though:

I tried making a phonecall and it seemed to take AGES to build up a call and then I heard nothing even though the call apparently was connected. Winamp works fine so it cant be my speaker ... anyone have an idea ? if I don't get this resolved I am kinda forced to install fresh again which i really dont want ...

update: tried several reboots, no chance of making ANY calls. gprs works though

extra installs for me atmif that helps resolve this:

phonealarm, ETEN, security pad skin, ilauncher, pocketweather, aekmap(german keyboard), and sadly still wisbar
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
well you are the first one to report that problem... so lets see... hmmm... i dont think the ETEN would affect the calls, but try removing it, do a soft reset then see what happens...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
could you send me the security pad skin ,please.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pencilcase:
ok I just uninstalled ETEN and security pad skin and still cant make any calls ... i cant hear or say anything its as if it was disabled. i double checked nearly everything will reinstall the rom later today and install the software one by one to see whats causing this...

update again: uninstalled everything else apart from new menu and the rom-included apps. still no sound when phoning and i can't change even activate the speaker ... gonna update again now
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dcdivenut:
Well I eventually got tired of having lots of different freeware apps, plus I wnated the Mem card funtions so I went out and bought pocket mechanic so I could have it all in one place but before I did that I had these...

As far as crap cleaner try this

http://pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14620

It is freeware

I also used this scary bear software to delete notifications.

Not my morning

After obtaining a new ROM from shogunmark and downloading it, it started the updating process. It went smoothly and even said it was succesful in completeing the opertation...i was escatic. I looked down at my phone and it shows the dread RGB screen again. Again my phone is a 4G phone so sure that is the problem. Just wanted to post and let you guys know where I am at.

Have you tried Wisbar Lite?

It gives you the task manager with Close button and the cascading start menu without the large mem overhead.

Not sure about Dr.Schultz's skin, but you can view several others at http://www.paulya.com/etenskins.htm I used the 44TI
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Check out SmartDial + Eten dialskin.

I like the Dr.Shultz skin on page 7 of SmartDial + Eten dialskin

Make sure to explore your device with ActiveSync. Go to \Windows and rename Mfc80u.dll to anything (like Mfc80u.dll.old) to fix the Pictures and Video issue.

Good luck!

*unhappy wife unreleased beta rom*

well i reflashed my rom and my gprs/edge still gives me trouble in connecting after i make a call or if it has to reconnect for any other reason. only fix i find so far is to restart it. i get a variety of different error messages when it tries to reconnect

I also found that the tab button on the physical keyboard doesnt tab the way its suppossed to. while writing an email, instead of tabbin to the next "space", i drops all the way to the bottom of the screen
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:

well the current latest beta on the ftp server is going to be the current one for a few weeks at least... there is another version but myself along with a few others are testing it and working out the bugs, making improvements, etc.. and i would say that its a few weeks away from a public release..

Brickedish Phone !?! :( Help please

:( Hello all - i appear to have bricked my phone...

Cingular 8125

it boots REALLY SLOW now -

i used the Lokiwiz02b to do the unlock and CID unlock

and then flashed with the beta firmware from here.

Now it doesn't recognize as USB device and input is really slow. it will boot to WM5 and i do see new things but it's so slow and I get no connection to cingular now either :(

-Brett
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
Re: Bricked Phone !! :( Help please

phone isnt bricked.. you need a rom with an IPL/SPL of 2.xx .... so do this... download the regular cingular rom, power your phone off, hold down the camera button and while holding press the power button to turn it on, keep holding till the red blue screen appears, plug into usb and you should notice the letter USB at the bottom left corner of the screen... flash the cingular rom, after it completes then flash my beta rom

Public Beta Tester

Cheers, Gents.

First off, thanks for all of your hard work or this. Amazing. As many hours as it takes to read through this stuff and flash my rom... I don't know how you guys find the time to do it. MY wife gets mad just because of the time I spend READING... you all must be in quite the predicament...

Wanted to let you know that the (public beta) ROM has been working nicely for the last week. Speed and stability are excellent. I also appreciate the ROM installer you all put together.

Only issue I've run across has to do with the data connection. I thought, perhaps, that it was a CSD issue, so I switched from AUTO to GPRS, but to no avail. The connection just seems to stall at times. PIE spends a lot of time "locating" - sometimes it pulls the page, sometimes it says the connection was lost, sometimes it says the connection can't be found. Usually it will eventually pull, but there's something fishy there - almost like there are competing data connections running at the same time.

I wish I could provide some more technical insight for you guys. Hopefully this makes some sense. I just know that my data connection was rock-solid prior to the flash and now seems a bit unstable.

Hope this helps, and thanks again for letting us partake in your creative genius!

Re: Public Beta Tester

your issue stems form the terrible dns servers... go to opendns.com and follow their instruction to put their dns servers on your device... garuantee'd to give you improvement :wink:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
I'm gonna try the opendns servers entries. I'll try and create a reg cab for them if it works as shogunmark says.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
good luck... there doesnt seem to be a reg entry for them.. there is one spot in the reg where you will find dns, but its a dynamic location, if you change to media net and connect with it then it will show those dns settings, it changes according to your connection.. cant find the actual spot to change them
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
im also working on that.but i do not have those problems with my conections.i think is todo with the conection settings u guys are using .medianet ect.i cannot test that in the UK. :D :D

Ok, just flashed to this ROM this AM, but I think I have issues, and am not sure what has happened through the numerous updates I have performed on my Cingular 8125. I probably have tried almost every ROM out there. The ROM previous to trying this was the AKU 3.2 thats floating around here...previous to that was the last Official Cingular 2.25. Here are my specs....

At Boot Up...

IPL: 2.25

SPL: 2.25

GSM: 02.25.11

OS: 2.26.10.2

About...

OS: 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)

Device Info...

ROM Version: 2.26.10.2 WWE

ROM Date: 6/7/06

Radio Version: 02.25.11

Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12

Are these specs in line with this ROM, or am I missing something?

Also...after updating to this ROM, and the AKU 3.2, earlier this week...The update is completing at %100, and says to check the device for further setup (or whatever it says) but my device is not restarting itself automatically. It stays on the Red/Blue/Green screen. If I do a soft reset, it seems to complete the update process. I have never had this happen before with any updates.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.....Thanks
