Hi all! I have a cingular 8125 and i want to upgrade my cur. wm5 to wm 6. i've read about the process from vippie's topic. since idk if my phone CID-unlocked or not, I used this thread to make sure, but i encountered a problem - when i'm trying to run CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe, or Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe : they start ok: I connect my phone, activesync sees it, i run one of those updates, they also see htc, but after i confirm all radiobuttons and press to update, wizard just shut-downs instantly and thereby update shows "communication error"...

Does anybody know what is the problem and how to fix it?

Thx for your help!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] secario:
well, everything worked! what i did is that i removed my sd card from phone and deleted phone-pc partnership (for some reason cant edit my previous post)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] robilden:
Boot your device in bootlaoder mode before connecting usb plug, i don't know for this one but for QTEK 9100, procedure is explained.

And then, connect your device to usb, you will see "USB" on the screen (red/green/... bootloader screen)

After that you should launched application again.

Enjoy

Hi. I have Cingular 8125 which is freezing during start up. The OS is 5.0 and IPL/SPL is 2.25. Was able to downgrade the IPL to 1.05 using Button ROM and then trying to run your CID unlock procedure for 2.26 ROM upgrade (or newer). A couple of questions.

1. We should copy the zip file enablerrapi.cab to PDA file explorer or extract the files out of this zip to PDA explorer..?

2. I tried above both options (copying the zip file and also extracting them to PDA explorer) and able to run the .bat file lockiwiz in command prompt BUT it gives the error unable to find WinCE file, for both the Unlock and CID unlock. However in the end command prompt gives message 'your phone is now Unlock/CID Unlock' BUT no reboot. Is it worth to trying unlocking procedure in bootloader mode...?

3. I should not flash 2.26 ROM or the newer versions without unlocking it correct..?

Thx

Randomly decided to take a stroll down memory lane tonight... Just "thanked" the OP, and voted on the poll nearly 15 years late, because why not?? =P

Also quoted the giant, super long OP just for ships and giggles (edit: actually, had to delete a bunch. otherwise it was throwing an error, lol!). Wow - crazy seeing the thread that started it all. At least for me, the first resource I dove deep into, satisfying my thirst for modding electronic devices. Well, before that there was modding the carrier tag on old flip phones, and before that soldering LED's on them old Nokias, testing resistors to see which ones can be bypassed to brighten the lights, and punching in *3001#12345# to reprogram stuff on CDMA / TDMA variants. But in terms of modding O/S on "smart" devices, it all started here on this thread for me. Back when it was called "XDA" for a very obvious reason.

Hello 2006! Sincerely,

the future.

P.S: beware of 2020.

Whatsd the prob?

Thnx

Funny I don't see where you mentioned installing the T-Mobile 2.26 before installing Faria 3.3...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Pacer:
I know this, I've tried 4 times to downgrade to 1.05. I want to try 1.08 because for some reason this won't work. I'm going to try once more later today (about an hour), but if that doesn't work then I don't know what I'll do. Probably cry. Or ask another question or two. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
The 2.08 is on the FTP ...

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Cingular

1.08 won't work as you'll receive a "Cannot downgrade" error or such, hence the power of the Button 1.05.

Try the 2.08, then the 1.05.

If no workie, post EXACTLY whats going on and what you're doing.

Good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Tatek:
Ok, that was my problem. To upgrade to 2.26

But why is so important to upgrade to it?

I just want to skip that. Cause i ve installed a 2.17 rom.

but thnx at all
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Pacer:
After every failure to 1.05 I've reinstalled the newest form HTC's website so I can actually use it. So now my ILP/SLP are 2.25.

Now, I just got done running CHKDSK/F. Downloaded the 2.08 ROM (I think)

Here's what I got: Cingular_RUU_2080701_101_11310_WWE-RINGRS-OCLOCK.exe

Now after installation:

ILP: 2.08

SLP: 2.25

It's installing some Cingular crap after the setup. I let it go through this process. Man this process takes like 15 minutes. (kind of a pain).

My Active Sync kept popping up; I just pressed cancel so there are to connection settings or profiles. It reset its self.

Let's try this with Buton's 1.05.

I left it alone for about an hour. And the window telling me my phone is done never pops up. Infact, it disappeared. My phone however is stuck at 98% and my computer did get to 99%.

Did a soft reset to get it back to the Red Green Blue screen that now reads

ILP: 2.08

SLP: 2.25

I'm goind to reinstall 2.08 so I can use it. We'll go from there.

So, before I try the next method you might throw at me, I need to ask:

Do I need my SIM card in the phone for this? I want to put it in a little Nokia until I get it unlocked and such.

Thanks by the way.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
@stonkulture - who are you, why have you told us your life story and why are you hijacking this Unlocking thread?

btw, thanks for the compliment!

(this is better posted somewhere else as it has nothing to do with unlocking your device)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
@Pacer - Man you're having some problems, eh? Most odd.

btw, you don't need to let the extended rom from any of these ROM's install...

Is your Storage Card removed? (If not, do)

Install the 2.26 T-Mobile for fun, soft reset when it gives the three second warning.

Let the PDA boot, disconnected from the USB cable while you're rebooting your PC and make sure nothing is running after it's up.

Enter bootloader on the PDA (hold Comm and Record buttons while resetting... you'll see the three colored screen with USB in the corner.

Connect your device to the USB.

Attempt to install the 1.05.

If this fails, borrow a friend's PC.

And I always have my SIM installed, never tried without.

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Pacer:
Well. I have no storage card (still looking for a good deal on one).

But I did manage to break the back corner of my battery back while trying to access the battery so I could get my SIM card out. :(

I'm about to try this, hopefully this'll work. I have 2 other PCs I can try this on at my home. But first this! Only because I have one comfy chair. :p

you can try the awizard, I have no experience with that proggy. there's a universal installer, I can't find it now though, that will get you past that 294 error. put that error in google and you'll see some stuff regarding charmer, its what you want. when I get home i'll look for it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] stonkulture:
I appologize,....but actually it has EVERYTHING to do with unlocking my phone. My bad, however for not adding that little tid-bit of info. into that novel I wrote. What I failed to mention, was that I now currently have a somewhat NEW 8125 that has a 1.08 version on it and I'd like to put the latest version on this device. The OLDER 8125 had the 2.17 version (which is now a paper weight/Door stop) And I was just simply asking if you happened to know if the latest version is what I should use, being that I have my service through Cingular....not T-Mobile. I was also curious to find out if there were any other available add-on softwares that could also be downloaded.

And to answer your questions,.....I'm no one of any signifigance,...Just someone attempting a task on his own without the assistance of anyone else...save you guys of course,......sorry 'bout the whole life story bit,...won't happen again,....and seeings how I travel to Norway every now and again, this (again) has absolutely EVERYTHING to do with unlocking a device...I'm not Hyjacking this thread,...perhaps a nusance,...but, not hyjacking it and I'm not out to piss anyone off, cool? I'd just like some answers for somebody who actually knows what the hell their talking about, and ya'll seem to be those people.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
@ stonkulture - OK then.

I'm with Cingular also, so THERE! <grin>

The T-Mobile 2.26 I suggest is only to give you a stable IPL/SPL.

As of today, the best ROM available here is Faria's AKU 3.3.

My suggestion to you is...

Verify you're unlocked... if you're not sure then you're not.

Install the T-Mobile 2.26 to get your IPL/SPL up to date.

(you can reset when the 3 second warning comes up for the extended rom)

Install one of Jose Faria's 3.3 ROM's (we're kinda partial to the 8MB)

The Cingular GPS cab is included in the Operator's Configurator (gotta love that Jose!)

Possibly install the 2.19 GPS (Radio) (I did)... look for Kyphur's post regarding this.

Done.

Enjoy.

Hello - dork of the year award - I'm going for it.

My phone is unlocked. I've flashed before - about 6 months ago. I am totally confused even though I read your more than easy to understand guide.

Here are my questions:

1. Since I'm only upgrading - do I flash using lokowiz or not?

2. Do I need to delete the current pairing of my phone and AS?

3. Do I keep the phone attached to the computer through the usb connect at all times once I execute the rom on my phone?

Yes I asked all these freaking questions. I got faria's aku3.3 v2 downloaded to my phone and started the file. My screen went to the rainbow screen and I freaked out about whether the phone should be connected through the usb or not. Then I realized I didn't get rid of my current pairing. I panicked and pulled out the usb cord, then panicked again and just turned the damn thing off. (You are suppose to be rofl right now).

Before I bricked the phone I decided to make an ass of myself and ask these questions. Feel free to flame me as long as you answer the questions with the right answers.:D

Here's my current setup:

Rom 2.24.10.1 WWE (Summiters)

Date: 4/17/06

Radio: 2.25.11

Protocol: 4.1.13.12

Ext. Rom: 2.25.11.102

Model #: WIZA100

I know it's not a G4 - I know it's super unlocked. I don't remember wtf I did to flash and I'm scared:eek: . Please help!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
One should NEVER disturb the process once it's started... you won't brick your device most likely but you will get that bootloader screen most likely...

If you're running summiter's ROM it sure sounds like you're unlocked.

Reboot your PC with your PDA disconnected and then delete your partnership (though that was nothing to get excited about)

Enter bootloader mode on your device if you're not there already. (Record and Camera while reseting)

Attempt to install the T-Mobile 2.26 then on to what ever you want.

If that doesn't work then start at step one and do each and every step, including reunlocking with lokiwiz.

Good luck.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Pacer:
I tried downgrading before I went to sleep.

Unfortunately, I fell asleep while it was down grading.

I don't know if it ever completed or not, but my phone's battery is probably dead and I'm stuck in boot loader screen everytime I turn it on. I'm hoping that my friend can come over today and let me use his battery for an hour so I can get back to 2.25 and charge it.

BTW

I seem to recall something about one more way on unlocking it. I think. I clicked on a link and brought me to some other site, it was white and pretty simple, but damnitt I can't find the link now. Nor did I have any luck with awizard. Finding it that it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] redhatter:
preferred method to flash second custom rom down grade first or just reflash

OK question from the new guy if you will bearer with me.

I’ve already my unlock and flashed my first custom rom now about to reflash with my second custom rom what is the preferred method it that, just go ahead and flash the customer rom over the old custom rom or downgrade all the way back to the 1.5 “button” rom and go ahead and do a clean install from their as per list above

IE.

Per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285435

Did the unlock (downgrade to button 1.5/ hard boot/run lokiwiz02b U. Unlock, reboot, C. CID Unlock/ hard boot/ rerun button 1.5 to clear the SPL 2.6 still/ hard boot…then after all stable at 1.5… flashed T-Mobile 2.26 ROM again for a “strong 2.26 IPL and SPL to work with”/ hard boot/ then flashed Faria Mobile 5 AKU 3.3 OS Rom ver 1… / hard boot…also flashed radio rom 2.47.11)

In fact, is going all the way back to 1.5 “button” rom even a viable option if you think you might need a clean from scratch install in case think you having some issues.

Just trying to get a feel for what people are found here from experience what approach gives the best results and least problems and try to avoid stepping into any “gottch”

Just try to avoid the “get burned and learn” learning curve
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
I'd just go from ROM to ROM myself. Any problems, go back to the T-Mobile 2.26 and then flash to whatever you want. Very seldom do I need to go back to the 1.05.. mostly only when my custom ROM tries to brick my phone :)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] addicus:
Okay Doc - I'm used to upgrading my rom like how the tmobile 2.26 does. You start up the program and it goes. You wait. It upgrades. You smile. Hence - my confusion.

On this one here - I have opened the rar rifle, extracted the "enterbootloader.exe" onto the phone and ran it. Am I suppose to extract the "nk.nbf" file onto the phone also (because I didn't and it seems kinda large)? Edit: I tried putting the "nk.nbf" file onto the phone and it doesn't fit so I'll take that as a no.

So basically I've clicked on the enterbootloader.exe and the phone restarts into bootloader and goes no where. What happens next?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
There's a file called newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe that you run from your PC.

You don't copy any files to your PDA to upgrade.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] addicus:
So my winrar 2.2 was corrupted and I had to do a complete registry check to get rid of it and it's upgraded companion. I download ultimate zip and now I have the newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe. I'll run through it tonight when my phone and let you know what up. Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty close to a nub but I have CID unlocked my phone long ago. I followed this guide (thanks again) and it worked like a charm.

My question is now that I hit "U" can I use my Cingular 8125 on a tmobile network (If i understand correctly)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] BungieGrave:
Yes U = SIM unlcok Use any SIM provider

Yes, using lokiwiz and selecting U SIM unlocks device to use on any SIM network.

Try it! Borrow other provider SIM from friend or Buy $20 T-Mobile or other carrier prepaid card. T-Mobile Prepaid SIM card gives talking minues and is $6/hr of internet use, I think, check rates on web. Prepaid card will allow the verification of SIM unlock and remaining balance can be used to surf web. It can even be refilled to add more minutes 1,000 for $100 expire in one year. Great for internet or laptop modem. Worked for me. Unlocked Cingular 8125 and then used T-mobile prepaid successfully. Just an idea!

If SIM not unlocked try using new lokiwiz0.3a. I used to unlock Cingular 8125 3G device SPL & IPL 2.XX without having to load 1.05 ROM or any other ROM. Link:

For some reason it won't work on mine.

I'll try back in a while because I really want the AKU 3.3 ROM.

CID Unlock

I just wanted to say Thank YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!! to Dr. P and Faria. I began my quest at howard forums trying to unlock my phone to update to pdaviet3 and after 3 days of trying from various other peoples programs (awizard, and th cid unlocker that comes on xelecin's 2.17) All to no avail. I tried to flash my phone about 30 times, nothing. Then I saw a link to xda-developers saw this post went through step by step, 1.05-unlock cid-1.05 again-tmo 2.26-pdaviet3. Now everything works perfectly and I have a sexy wm6 on my mda to brighten my day. So Once again thank you very much!

Also for those interested I'm also having great success with the 2.47 radio version tht I found through this site somewhere, cant remember exactly where though just search for it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] wenlez:

A device should only have to be CID unlocked once in its lifetime. However if in doubt it does not hurt to unlock again to rule out that possibility when having issues.
