YUP ! very rightly said m8 :)

Although it doesn't pertained to this subject and guide,but,However,its not essential to reflash back to t-mobile 2.26 or any other official rom ,before flashing any latest wm6 or 6.1 rom,for that matter,its just advised to reflash an official rom,so as to clear the corruption of Extended_Rom,if any,before flashing/upgrading to a latest rom to avoid any problems afterwards and to start with a good solid clean base.

Well,as a matter of fact,I have never reflashed back to any official or t-mo 2.26 before any Rom flash and never had any problems,thereafter,it also saves an extra flash and time and risk of getting something wrong,Well thats me ! :p

Just do your own thing :D

secondly,no downgrading is required to flash and upgrade Radio (GSM),as it doesn't have any IPL/SPL included in it,there's no fear of flashing wrong Bootloaders (IPL/SPL),just hook up the phone with pc via usb cable and run the RUU included in the Radio Rom,it'll start to flash and will hardly take a minute or so to upgrade.Its simply safe to flash to any device,regardless,being a G3 or G4.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
Good point mate but you are also a pro so flashing to you is like changing socks ... LOL. I would still suggest noobs and beginners flash an official rom before anything else as they don't have your experience to know if something was wrong or right.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
YUP ! I appreciate your concern towards noobs ! :D

WE all were,never deny this fact,whatever,we have learned and gained experience is all due to this grrrr8 forum,but we spent alot of time reading n reading n reading,going over again n again,searching,seeking for answers,read hundreds of pages millions of time,but still atleast I believe,there's still so much to learn.... :p

yeah. i got as far as : 10. (Back to your PC) ... <Start> <Run> <cmd> <Enter> to give you a most wonderful MS Dos prompt (be afraid, VERY afraid!)

. well i got no message. i typed the cd\ > lokiwiz> never got to the unlocking options. though. some help please. and is it possible to undo what i ve done so far?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
Did you complete the first steps correctly,did you extract the lokiwiz02b.zip file to the C:\ drive,the main drive in which you have installed the windows and other programs/applications,most probably you have extracted the zipfile on your desktop or in some other drive other than C:\ (Root) drive,recheck everything,secondly don't copy and paste the contents of the zipfile after extraction,but extract the zipfile to the C:\ (Root) drive using winRAR or winzip.Then copy the EnableRapi.bin zipfile from the extracted folder to anywhere in your phone through activesync and click to execute the EnableRapi.bin file in your phone,not on the pc.

Other option is to extract anywhere,say desktop or in any drive and instead of using command prompt,simply open the extracted folder of lokiwiz zipfile and run the lokiwiz.bat file, You'll be presented with a black MS Dos command prompt(CMD) type window,with the options.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] collwatt:
i think you may be correct bout my downloading the wiz in the place. ill check. "execute the lokiwiz.bin file in your phone,not on the pc."

so the unlocking options should be promped by the phone not by the pc? lokwiz is on my phone i never open that file on my phone cause i thought the unlocking was done was done from the pc. so go ahead and work with the file from insidemy phone? thanks for your replies, i mean it
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
NOPES ! you are still not getting it right. After extracting the Lokiwiz02b.zip file to a folder with winrar or winzip on your computer,open the extracted folder and you'll find 'EnableRapi.bin' zipfile,you have to copy and paste this 'EnableRapi.bin zipfile to any where in your phone using activesync and after copying in the phone, 'click' the 'EnableRapi.bin' in the phone to install it,let it complete and it'll confirm its install,only after that, Back on your PC, open the folder you just created when you extracted Lokiwiz02b and click 'lokiwiz.bat'.You'll be presented with a black MS Dos command prompt(CMD) type window,with the options.

Unlocking options are prompted from the pc,not from the phone. OK ! you only have to copy the 'EnableRapi.bin zipfile to the phone and install it,but unlocking options are to be performed on your pc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] collwatt:
before trying, no. before unlocking and d.grading i had a 2.26 ipl and spl. after all that icve come back to having the same ispl/spl. i know it was worth it. i got to step 17. thanks to you. so what now? do i just go pick a rom to flash? ok ive flashed, but how can i besure my device is cid unlocked? it did rebbot both times. can i go through the process again to makr sure the unlocking process.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
Try to flash a rom .. If you can't flash then you aren't unlocked mate .....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Use WST 4.2.2 and you'll get your answer in seconds ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
Yeah that works also .....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
OK .... I had to unlock a MDA today and just wanted to see how can errors happen.

First I didnt not have a fully charged battery. And didnt care for this exercise if the phone bricked then it was a learning experience.

I did not extract the files on my root drive. I had it in folders deep with spaces.

***** "D:\downloadzzz\Splash Screen Changer\lokiwiz02b" ********

I also didnt not goto the dos prompt but mearly ran the program Lokiwiz.bat just by clicking the icon.

I did not stop my activesync connection but left it alone. I even had a flash stop in the middle as my computer rebooted. And there was no brick just went into bootloaders mode once computer came back on.

And still it unlocked correctly..

So I am saying people you must really not be reading or doing something incorrect if this doesnt work for you because I just unlocked a MDA doing everything wrong.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
lol. nice late night reading mate :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
Well I get so many pm's I just was glad to have another MDA to test on. So I did it all the wrong way to see what happens ...

I am sure the dr appreciate your thanks . He is a mod now and busy busy busy ....

Great!

After i get a new device, im getting to unlock, jeje i think it was a nightmare did it, but no! its so simple hehehe. too much times trying... just need to read.

I wish to tell you that you need to upload agian all the stufflike buttom rom and those stuff cause the links broken makes the search so heavy.

God damn you' right everything was ok. Now i always change to an original beforew flash a coocked, in case of any issue :p , even with sd in it, hehe sometimes i forgot unplug that card , but nothing happends :D i have reed that original roms got the ipl and spl, so reflashing with a coocked it doesnt change, yeap the radio 2.19 is great to TNT roms and for all too.

Thanks for all... if i had a new question i think that we never forgot that i was a noob, and still, but with some things learned, thanks for all.

Ugh...

I am still having problems even down grading my rom. I go through all of the steps in the launcher untill I get to the status bar. My Wizard then looses it's conetion to the PC and the Rom set up crashes. I have run the CID unlock multiple times and it seems to have worked. I even tried the Wizard Service Tool, but it doesn't seem to be able to see my Wizard. I'm sure you guys have seen this same EXACT problem before, but I have not been able to locate the thread if there is one. Please help if you can, I want to flash a T-Mobile Rom.

hi, i read carefully the howto and flashed several times the button rom, however i'm still stuck with a spl2.16 even after unlockink with lockiwiz and reflashing afterwards

tried the tmobile rom but gave a vendor id problem, i'm stuck with button rom and wizard love rom.

any idea ?

thanks in advance
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
If its really CID unlocked by lokiwiz02b,as you say,than if tmo is not flashing correctly,you can flash official carrier's 2.xx rom to upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx or replace the RUU in the tmo rom with Ruu_NoId and run the RUU,it'll flash.

Download WST_4.2.2,to confirm the CID lock/unlock status first,even WST can CID unlock the phone if the IPL is 1.xx but SPL stays at 2.xx.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pikapika:
thanks for your help

i flashed with no problem the 3.08 rom

but do not see what the WST_4.2.2 is, and have not the original rom anymore (was a french orange rom)

Another successful customer, many thanks!

I been in working in IT for about 15 years so I consider myself pretty able. I flashed my old Motorola V551 back in the days and just traded my Blackjack I flashed with the WM6.1 "cooked" firmware for a normal locked Cingular 8125. I've had the phone in my hands for about 8 hours. I found this forum and read the tutorial THOUROUGHLY and downloaded all the mentioned software FIRST. I followed the directions to the tee without walking away from my PC or any interruptions and it all went FLAWLESSLY. A lot of the times you just have to take each part in baby steps if you know what I mean. Slow down and pay attention.

Thanks a million!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
3.08 is not a Rom,they are upgrade to Bootloaders (IPL/SPL),now if you did really CID unlock the phone before upgrading to IPL/SPL 3.08,than its alright,but if its still CID locked and upgraded,it won't let downgrade to CID unlock again.

WST)4.2.2 (Wizard Service Tool) lets you know the basic info and CID lock/unlock status of the phone and it can perform many actions,like CID unlock also,its one of the most wonderful application,must have for every wizard device owner.

i downgraded to button once again, and used wizard tools that told me it was cid locked, and got it cid unlocked.

i could flash a wm6.1 rom

thanks a lot :-)

i also would suggest that the Wizard Service Tool should be in the tutorial, as lokiwiz never managed to cid unlocked my device while it said it was
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gstenger:
OK, I'm a total newbie at performing a ROM update on cell phones, so please forgive my ignorance. I have read through the instructions both on this thread and on Vippie's, "How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!", but I still have a couple of questions.

Here are the specs on my Cingular 8125:

IPL & SPL are both 1.08

ROM version: 1.8.11.1 WWE

Radio version: 01.16.11

Flash chip type: M-Systems G3

My questions are:

Do I need to install the Button 1.5 ROM first or can I just start with step #4 using the Lokiwiz unlocker?

After unlocking the CID and upgrading to a WM6 ROM, will I have any problems with my current Cingular account (is my phone number tied to the SIM card or the device... again, please forgive my ignorance)? I know one of the steps suggests downgrading to T-Mobile ROM, but since I have Cingular/AT&T...

I just want to be safe rather than sorry! BTW, all of my PIM information and other important files and programs are backed up already.

Thanks in advance for any help!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
Nopes ! as its already with IPL/SPL 1.xx,you don't need to flash Button's Rom,you can use and try to SIM/CID unlock with lokiwiz02b,or with WST_4.2.2 Tool,but if it fails,which I'm sure it won't,than go for Button's Rom.

Secondly,its not downgrading with T-mobile 2.26,its upgrading,so that the phone is upgraded to IPL/SPL 2.xx,which is required to upgrade to wm6,but you can also flash,if you prefer an official Cigular Rom with 2.xx,to have IPL/SPL 2.xx for wm6 upgrading,hope you got my point !

Thirdly,flashing and upgrading doesn't effect your current Cigular account,as you are simply replacing the OS (Windows) and not the SIM of Cingular.

Have a nice day ! :)

Thanks a ton! This stickied thread helped at every step of the way to mobile goodness.

I was able to go from an IPL/SPL 2.25 (on both). To the IPL/SPL 2.26 using the button then the tmobile ROM. I then picked as my first cooked ROM the newer TNT.20273 Series "BETA" (Vanilla/Official/Professional); going with the Pro.

Again thanks for this great post and useful info.

im new to this so bear with me.

i was following the steps accordingly up to step 9, i found the enablerapi.cab that i transfered to my business folder on my 8125 then clicked it, it started an update process then i proceeded to step 10 but came across some errors so i clicked cancel on my phone. now that ive tryed to start over i cannot transfer the enablerapi.cab, the only option my computer is giving me is to copy it to the business folder but when i do it just doesnt transfer. ANY CLUES?

Once you have executed the EnablRapi.cab file in your pc and it completed its install,there's no need to again copy and past it again in the phone,now just run the lokiwiz.bat application to get to CMD like black window and perform the SIM/CID unlock.

newbiee question

Dear all,

I would like to ask:

I had Cingular 8125, And It's G3 CMIIW

IPL 1.0.8

SPL 1.0.8

GSM 01.16.11

OS 1.8.11.1

I've had sim unlocked with using WST 4.2.2 and it worked :D

My Questions are:

1. Is it okay to flash with Tmobile 2.26 or 3.08? since mine is Cingular?

2. How about flashing it with :

RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.exe ??

3. Is it a must to upgrade the IPL and SPL at least to 2.26 before flasing into WM 6 rom?

4. SIM unlocking is only need to be done once?

Please advise

thanks before:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] + Que PPC:
YES

YES YOU CAN USE THIS ROM...WE NEED AN ORIGINAL ROM PROVIDED BY A CARRIER AND THIS ROM MUST BE 2.XX Not exactly 2.26... SO I THINK THIS IS FROM CINGULAR... we all suggest to use 2.26 by tmobile cause it is on wiki or in steps in post 1...

Yes is higly recomended to every time you try a new cuztomized rom WM5 WM6 or WM6.1... before this downgrade a wm5 original to get stability and sometimes fix some problems like batt drain... its recomended yes! highly!

But... this is your first time... you are in 1.xx ipl and spl... so upgrade to 2.xx

You dont have to unlock cid/sim everytime its unlocked forever... so for yours that is G3.

(for info G4 devices can be cid unlocked just for an upgrade by softspl and forever by Hardspl)

so finish all the way and upgrade to 2.xx original... then your favourite wm6 or 6.1.

+ Que PPC

You are doing good,buddy ! :)

n4r4k

Did you perform CID unlock also with WST_4.2.2 or just SIM unlock,coz its different.With SIM unlock,it becomes possible to use Sim of any network carrier,but CID unlock,makes it possible to flash upgrades like wm6 roms.If you have not performed CID unlock,it wudn't upgrade to wm6.

Secondly,like + Que PPC said,its not essential to flash T-mobile 2.26,but yes! you can flash official stock 2.xx rom to get IPL/SPL 2.xx,which is required to upgrade to wm6.

Here,I wud also like to point out,that,its not altogether neccesary to reflash official stock rom everytime before flashing a new rom,its only recommended,just to clear any corruption of Extended_rom ,but you can safely flash any rom without first reflashing the official rom each time.I have flashed hundreds of time,but never reflashed any stock rom before it and never had any problems afterwards,But than,thats me,just do your own thing ! :D

I haven't done CID Unlocking, is it ok to proceed with WST 4.2.2?

What is the best WM 6 ROm which is stable?

I don't want to do flashing all the time...lazy to backup and restore all the data and also installing the application back again :rolleyes:

I've googling around to find how to open the case and I 've found

for T-Mobile MDA. But never find for Cingular 8125. Anybody know where to find it?

Unlocking

I followed the Directions and unzipped the Lokiwiz file onto my PDA and now when I go into the dos and type the CD\ nothing happens, then I type in the lokiwiz.bat and it states that it is not an internal nor external file what do I do next, or what have I done wrong. Please help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
Perhaps,you are missing some important step there,reread the guide and do the method correctly.

You have to first extract the lokiwiz zipfile in C:\ main drive,then copy and paste EnableRapi.cab file in your pda and execute it there in your phone,then do the unlocking procedure.
