I'm REALLY angry. I've been to the forums before and sought assistance from the community with excellent results. THIS time, I followed several of the links for a fix to a Dell Streak 7, and managed to download malware/virus V9 and who knows what else. All of my browsers have been hijacked. A System Restore does NOT work. Registry deletions DO NOT WORK. Malwarybytes has been DISABLED and cannot be reloaded.

I'm VERY careful when clicking on links. If there are multiple "Download" links I roll over them and look for the proper file. When I go to install, if ever, I read to see if there are other products set to load. I TRUSTED XDA to have links to safe areas, but this is clearly not the case.

I now have to wipe my computer to be sure nothing is recording my every move.

I'M TICKED OFF.

[General Topics] TML1504:
you do know that xda cannot be held liable (neither legally nor morally) for links contained in postings from members?

otherwise, you would have to specify and or clarify your case!

and, regarding your problem: boot in safe mode and cure your pc from there! trust me, this works!
[General Topics] gomcse:
Yes, I know they're not responsible...LOL.

Safe Mode is a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. What can I do in Safe Mode to remove the item? It has no uninstall...

Thanks for the quick reply.
[General Topics] justmpm:
Try running malwarebytes in safe mode...and sorry for your bad experience. Can you PM me the thread on xda where you found the links to malware. That way I can be sure that it is removed.

Thanks!
[General Topics] KevinCosner:
My AVG considers an APK I downloaded from XDA malware. Does this necessarily mean it's malware?

The link is for a Xperia Chinese Keyboard.

Any help is appreciated

Mike.
[General Topics] sd_shadow:
That's not even close to enough information to make any conclusion.

I would trust any file on XDA before AVG.

Having said that, is this in a thread or on XDA labs?

What is it called?

Thread name?

Has anyone commented about the app?
[General Topics] Droidriven:
Safe mode only boots/loads system apps, it doesn't allow booting or installing user apps in safe mode, therefore, using MalwareBytes while in safe mode is not an option.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
If someone has posted this already then sorry, but i havent seen it here, just on another topic somewhere...

Anyway, I was browsing around this morning and came across a prodigy 2.47.11 radio rom, downloaded it and wouldnt update.. so i extracted the file from the installer and packaged it back up to work on my cingular 8125... And i have noticed a huge difference in the radio all day.. places i dropped doesnt seem to drop anymore... blah blah blah.. i uploaded it so you can try it for yourself..

This is the radio only.. flashing this will not erase your settings..

2.47.11 radio rom.rar
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pencilcase:
just installed it now, will test during the day...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] MacGuy2006:
Wow! It DOES seem better, at least it seems I see more bars after a few glasses of wine:-) Well, my house is in the hills and the reception sucks, but it seems more robust after this. Will know more tomorrow morning on my way to the office....

Thanks!

I have a G4 Wizard.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] g0dblissyou:
Seem like it has a higher build

Seem like a higher build number, guessing it's a newer rom then our cingular 2.25.11, interested in trying it out but would this in any chance brick my phone or do I need to CID unlock ...or it doesn't touch the bootloader part.

if it's safe to go without have to CID unlock or change setting and programs I'll give it a try. Please reponse back ASAP wanna try it too.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mrjay:

Not updated ?

I've just applied this updated RADIO ROM.

Update procedure is succesfully completed but nothing is changed...

My device is still with Radio ROM V02.07.10 and ROM 2.18.7.3.

Do you have any idea what could be the problem ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vseehua:
i updated this rom this morning and i got a mild improvement...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sk0t:
Just updated my phone to it. I get full bar at work anyway (less than 100 feet from a tower), so I'll check it out from home tonight. There's a couple of spots that it isn't really that great.

Thanks for posting it!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bradsnw:
I flashed this new Radio this AM and it seems to be much more responsive compared to the Cingular 2.25. My office is in a tough cell coverage area. I have an external 4 ft. Yagi antanae hooked to an amplifier and wireless repeater inside my office. Cell coverage inside is usually pretty shakey. This Radio picked it up instantly and its strength changes quickly as I walk through an area where my wireless repeater wont reach.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
i cant be much help on this, except i found it somewhere on this board, had to extract from the prodigy update utility(cause it originally wouldnt flash on my 8125), and put it into the no_id update utility, then flashed it on my phone yesterday am, noticed an improvement so i gave it to you guys... and thats about all i know about it...

i dont know if it will work for a G4, but all you would need to do is get the G4 update utility and throw the nk.nbf into a folder with it... i cant garuantee it will work, but if someone wants to try it there is the steps...

as far the comparison to the cingular 2.25.11 radio... in my testing i would say that this radio hands down beats the cingular radio
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] badersk:
I flashed this one on a locked 8125 and it did install. Radio seems to work a little better will know later on today.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
should work, there is a post on this thread here where someone did successfully flash this on a locked phone
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hakushox:
This radio update is definitly alot better then the cingular version. Thankz for the find and post.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ekinnee:
Any way to get this incorporated into your ROM that's in beta right now?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
re-packaging in the a_la_carte public release rom i have.. and will be uploading soon...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tubbyman:
well ive been using my phone with the new radio for a while and i havent noticed any particular drain on battery life, but by the same token i havent noticed much change in reception strength. Saying that tho i have had more data service lately in areas that i previously didnt and the call quality does seem better. I think that this upgrade is more for our american cousins as you guys run a different type of cellular network to us in europe/UK and i think this 2.47.11 is optimized for you. I'm still gonna keep it tho :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] achick:
I travel to the US (Houston) quite a bit and have always found that the call quality over there was terrible compared to the UK (especially Cingular!!). I've always assumed that the networks were at fault, but now I've updated the ROM to 2.47.11, it will be interesting to see if anything has changed when I go again next week. I'll report back my findings....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] wgary:
Overall, I'd have to say an improvement. Less signal drop and quicker reacquisition of signal. Not miraculous, but noticeable.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] k2snowboards88:
I was under the impression that gsm is gsm. What is different about the type of network we use? Isn't the difference that you predominantly use 1900mhz and we use 850mhz? (although both of use use different frequencies as well).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] GldRush98:
There is no difference besides some areas use different frequencies.

He's wrong.

GSM stands for "Global System for Mobile communications".

GSM is a global standard, it's the same around the whole planet.

That's why you can take any Quadband GSM phone from the US and use it in Europe, and vice-versa.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tubbyman:
well i'm not sure i am wrong after a quick check it would appear that in the UK we use 900/1800 networks where as in the US you use 850/1900 all i'm saying is i think the 2.47.11 radio is stronger on the 850/1900 frequencies. I have no proof of this just from what most people have said here it appears to be the us users that get the better results
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] k2snowboards88:
tmobile usa actually uses alot of 900mhz also. And cingular roams off of some 900mhz places.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] TrippinBillyFL:
Hi everyone! This is my first post, regarding my first rom update on my first PDA phone, so please go easy on me if I'm missing something obvious...

I am having the same problem described above where my phone freezes on the RGB screen and the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe fails with Error [300] Invalid Update Tool.

Following the procedures above, connecting the phone to the PC after booting directly to the RGB screen, my device manager shows the Win CE USB device functioning properly.

Any ideas why I am not able to install this?

Thanks!!!

My configuration is as follows:

Phone: Cingular 8125

Rom: 2.25.11.1 WWE

IPL: 2.25.0001

SPL: 2.25.0001

Radio: 02.25.11

Ext Rom: 2.25.11.102

I have run the Lokiwiz03 utility to SIM unlock the phone, but I have yet to try a different SIM card so I don't think the unlock has taken effect.

[EDIT] Tried my friends T-Mobile SIM card and it asked for his pin, asked for my SIMlock Code and booted correctly after entering them. I wasn't able to make an outgoing call as I kept getting a voice recording saying that the number was not valid, but I assume that means that Lokiwiz03 works for my phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tubbyman:
have you unlocked your phone with lokiwiz?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] TrippinBillyFL:
if this question is for me, i assume you are asking if I have CID unlocked my phone. I have not, because I was under the impression that I did not have the ability to do that on my phone yet. Am I correct in thinking that lokiwiz03 only supports SIM unlock and not CID? And am I also correct in thinking that other versions of lokiwiz will not work with my 2.25.11.1 ROM? I have run a few different versions and lokiwiz03 is the only one that doesn't throw an error.

I was under the impression, due to some previous post on this thread, that a CID unlock was not necessary for this update. Is that true? If I do need to CID unlock, is it possible given the specs in my previous post?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] k2snowboards88:
You do not need to CID unlock your phone for this rom. You do have a g4 wizard. That means you need to use the g4 updater. In this thread quite a few pages back you will find the g4 updater. You just need to take the rom files out of the g3 updater folder and put them in the g4 updater folder. That should do the trick
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] TrippinBillyFL:
Thank you! This was what I was looking for ... i see now that it was mentioned on page 9 and 16. Hindsight is always 20/20! Of course the only G4 update util I could find was in italian, but I combined them and used the RUUResource.dll from the G3 update util and viola! An english G4 radio rom update successful!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yaboc:
im on tmobile network using this 2.47.11 radio rom. i updated from 2.x. so far im not very impressed with it although i was unable to thoroughly test the 2.x radio. on the other hand 2.47.11 is giving me more bars than 2.x but during the phone calls i hear little static and sometimes during conversation i hear loud static click so to say. ill go back to 2.x and see if that happens on it too. will report back.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
I have been running this radio ever since i found it, which is also when i posted this thread.. so far, i have had fewer dead area's, picks up signal faster, and calls are clearer! I will give this radio an 8.5 out of 10, i would rate the old cingular 2.25.11 radio around a 7.. but this is my own personal opinion
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] drewd:
I could not get the firmware updater to run correctly under Windows Vista RC2. Just an FYI. It worked just fine under Windows XP64, though.

Under Vista, the program would crash when it began its update, leaving the phone in update mode (or whatever it's called - the colored bars screen). A soft reset fixed the phone. The problem may be the not-ready-for-prime-time Active Sync software that comes with Vista.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tubbyman:
oh right cool glad to see some people are out there trying it with vista at least we know :D yeah prob as you say not ready for vista just yet hopefully they will fix that although i prob wont switch just yet lol
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pzucchel:
confirmed

in my case, this rom is indeed better than 2.25: faster network search; higher volume during calls...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jocool:
I just downgraded after using this radio rom for a week. Like others said, it does find networks quicker, but in many place the 2.25 rom is just better.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] berzansky:
Installing this update?

i downloaded the file but don't know how to install it on my MDA. I copied it to my MDA and tried double clicking it to no avail. do i go to the boot loader? TIF
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] GldRush98:
Did you try running the program as an Admin?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tubbyman:
What you need to do is discover if your phone is a G4 or a G3. You can do this by doing a soft reset and if you look at the IPL/SPL in the top corner this will tell you.

A G4 Device, has IPL/SPL like 2.xx.0001 whereas a G3 has IPL/SPL like 2.xx

Once you have discovered which version you have then you need to download the appropriate files which are towards the front of this thread somewhere.

Once the file is downloaded to your pc you need to sync up your device and then unzip the file and run the exe file in there this will then display the rom update utility and you just follow the instructions. The G4 one is in italian so next is "avanti" so just keep clicking that. It will only update the radio rom so you won't loose any of your settings.

I have the G4 Rom Update Utility on my website at www.tubbyworld.co.uk/files

Hope that Helps
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PrinceJ:
YES! Much better

I went from no bar to 2 bars here in McLean, VA

I just flashed it to a G3 Dopod 818 Pro. so far it seems to work. I will update the post it tomorrow.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] BigThunder:
Wonderful!!!

I just installed this on my Qtek 9100 (which initially had the radio version that came with ROM 2.17.7.2) and I can already hear a difference in sound quality. Even my wife noticed the difference when I called her!!! :eek:

I was also able to make a call from a spot in my office where I can't normally make a call from! :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] iampairoj:
Excellent

i'm too late for this updated, just finished to flash on prophet, and will try on this day.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yaboc:
After being on the 2.25.11 RADIO for the past few weeks and having previously used 2.24.11 i can conclude that

2.47.11

PROS:

- improved call quality,

- signal strength is far better (more bars in places where there were no bars on 2.25.11),

- speakerphone is acutally functional, with 2.25.11 even screaming didn't help, the other party barely heard me,

CONS:

- HUGE power drain compared to 2.25.11

BOTH RADIO ROMS although the quality was better on 2.47.11, both were giving me the static SPIKE once in a while during the phone call.

i'm on 2.25.11 currently and im gonna give another try to 2.47.11 (regardless the fast power draining)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ahfunaki:
working good for me...

Blackberry Connect and Radio ROM?

I've got this radio ROM installed and had hoped that it would fix the problems I've been having getting Blackberry Connect working on my Cingular 8125. Whenever I attempt to connect with Blackberry Connect on my device I get "Blocked - Radio In Use". I've posted this several times in different forums and nobody else seems to be having the same issue. Anybody familiar with this?

i don't have the habit of locking my phone, but after a few days of use i noticed that the battery life is a LOT shorter than it was before on my MDA. i will try the locking tactic and see if it improves.

the phone is not ready, wait 15 seconds and try again

hi guys, i recently update my qtek 9100 with the 2.47.11 radio rom, i also updates to the aku 3.2 rom but i been having problems.

i can make and receibe calls but when i try to write a text message i get "the phone is not ready, wait 15 seconds and try again " it also apear when i try to open the sim manager and the phone icon in settings.

i thought that could be the rom so i downgrade to Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_Only

but there is no change.

any halp i will apreciate

Can't load

I am new to this and read the thread, but still can't figure it out.

I extracted the Rom Update Utility into a new folder under My Documents. I then put the radio .rar file in the folder. When I run the program I get:

u	ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN

When this error message appears, check whether the downloaded image is placed in the directory of RUU. If, for some unknown reason, you find that the ROM image is not located in the RUU folder, you have to download the RUU and retry again.

Note: it is italian, so this is the code def from the readme file.

I have the T-mobil USA MDA (2.26.10.2 WWE Rom; 02.25.11 radio)

I think it is G3, but that really confuses me. Any help is appreciated.
