My device is SIM/CID unlocked. If I run the whole RUU will that SIM lock the device? After a lot of reading I have a feeling that the SIM lock is tied to the radio and it only works on the 1.16 Radio. I have a Mexican SIM card I want to continue using so I dont want to loose that.

Thanks and sorry if this has been asked before. I have read the entire thread, just a bit confused.

@ monkey28rb: Greetings from snowy Tahoe. Don't take this wrong, but READ THE D*MN WIKI!

@All: Good to see so many people working on this ROM. Makes me wish I had stayed with it before going skiing...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ercave1:
If you are superCID, using the method from the wiki, you should still be unlocked, the only issue is that you will not be able to downgrade the radio easily. Shogunmark, noted that you can change bootloader to allow the install of other roms, splashes. etc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
right... just finished all pages in this thread. Quite the wild ride you guys have been having eh? :)

Nicely done getting rid of the flying deathstar morph logo so quickly :)

(and fixing the soft sound issue too)

Here's a few answers:

PTTfix worked in my initial testing. I'll look into LtE's issues more soon

Regarding Internet sharing:

Some reported not being able to see the BT pan, only audio gateway services. This is because the PAN isn't advertised unless you are paired. On some BT stacks (Dell's Toshiba stack for example), this presents a catch 22 since you are not offered a chance to pair unless a service requiring secure connections is seen.

I've found that Internet sharing with the BT Pan works best with M$ bluetooth stack on your laptop/pc. This is available on WinXP SP2 and >
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] TriAxisFL:
The volume issue has 2 fixes, 1 permanent and 1 temporary. If you disable the startup animation it permanently fixes the volume problem. If you like the animation you can leave it, but you have to put your phone in sleep mode then bring it out of sleep mode after every reboot.

If anyone wants to disable the startup animation or sound its located at.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation

Enabled - change from 1 to 0 to turn everything off.

I think the real culprit is at this same key. It has another DWORD called Volumn. This is currently set at 32. I believe this key is whats scewing up the volume. I'm not sure what to change this to, or what impact deleting it would cause. Anyone want to try deleting this key and enabling the animation to see what happens?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
I deleted the wav file reference already. If you want to tell me what that was again, I'll put that back in and play with the "Volumn" value.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] TriAxisFL:
Yep no problem

There originally was 4 keys

Enabled - 1

GIFFile - \Windows\3G Up_01_1.gif

Volumn - 32

WAVFile - \Windows\3G_Up.wav

Maybe you could try deleting both the Volumn and Wav keys and see what happens.

I was just afraid that the volumn would be super loud if I booted up after deleting the Volumn key. Otherwise I would have tried it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vmendez:
Cool, that is exactly what I had thought. I just need to make up my mind if I should make the gamble on the radio. Thanks for the quick reply.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] progmode:
Alright, I give up. Has anyone found the option to hide SIM contacts? I thought it used to be in the Phone settings, but I don't see it there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
So far, increasing the Volumn value decreases the volume of the bootup. Which is the opposite of what I thought it would do. However, it doesn't fix that annoying chirping/gurgling sound and the low volume issue afterwards.

I'll try a few other things and see what happens. On I go...

[edit] I forgot to mention, I have increased the Volumn value to 60. That has actually significantly decreased the volume once in windows. Strange.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] LegolasTheElf:
Could volumn be something like a 'This is the NEW volume to use'? i.e. By setting it to 60, you essentially tell the device that the volume at max is x - 60, or possibly 0? Basically, it's a subtractive device? or, like on a stereo when you make it louder you go from -60db to -40db and it is LOUDER (in other words, it's negative numbers).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Yeah, it might be something like that. It looks like setting it to 1 is just "on". By the way, don't do that. IT'S LOUD!! But setting it higher and even higher than 60 it tells the device to set the overall volume within Windows to lower itself. The higher that number the lower the volume. I set it to 160 and it was whisper quiet (until you put it in suspend and take it out). I wonder if just creating another value to immediately follow the StartupAnimation, setting the volume to a normal setting, would fix it.

Any thoughts on that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ercave1:
Not sure what is causing the issues I mentioned earlier. I now am running the full RUU with the new radio, and still have the same issues.

The Voice Message issue seems to be a problem with the way PTT was set up by my wireless provider. I put my sim in another phone and see the same problem. My other PTT phones' SIM does allow me to see the Voice Message option in my 8525 but I get an error. First it says "Please Press & Hold PTT key to record a Voice Message," then something like "Voice Message was not completely sent."

Very weird, I'll call Cing tomorrow to get the VM issue worked out. Any guesses on the other issue mentioned earlier?

EDIT: PTT doesn't work on my 8525 w/ BT headset either.

if hitting f5 is low tech, im guessing im even lower tech, because i dont even know what f5 does :p but yeah, im watching both here and the htc website too. got nothing else to do. xda-developers should host an irc server or something for real time discussion to keep us occupied :P

I am monitoring the filename in the page (same as shogunmark).

Haha, they could very well be playing around with us. Good point. We all are certainly anxious (gullible) enough to believe most of what we hear from their end.

Still though, I find it quite fun.... well sort of.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
That seems like the best link to watch on that page. Does that program look for changes by date also that have the same filename for instance (meaning the image on the page)?

Update #2: Internet Owl detected a slight page content change.

I am comparing the before and after to see what they are up to. I wouldnt be suprised if there is a 'comment' in the source saying "keep looking buddy, but you won't find anything"

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
its pretty configurable.. basically if there is code, timestamps, etc it will look at it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jasjamming:
ok still no news thus far

I'm writing this on my hermes and I cannot visit htc site as it redirects to the mobile version. nonetheless I have internet owl doing the work atm.

I have a theory and it is pesamistic but for some strange reason not all carriers or oems release aku updtaes at the same time. it seems they want us to unlock our cid so we can flash across and voiding our warranty at the same time. it might save them money.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fone_fanatic:

2.06 rom

I see the new Cingular 2.06 is in the hermes directory. Everyone was waiting for it and now it's here. I've seen very few people using it in their sigs.

Is this a no go? I seen Cingular delayed it because a battery drain issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:

I experienced this as well. I went to the registry and noticed that the layout key showed 0x40409 when the key for an english keyboard should be 0x20409. So to fix this change the following using a registry editor:

Fix Keyboard Symbols

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]

"Layout"=dword:263177

change to

"Layout"=dword:123105

Those are the Decimal Base Keys, if its easier for you in hex then change 40409 to 20409

Show/Hide SIM Contacts

Edit the following registry key;

[HKCU\Control Panel\Phone]

"ShowSIM"=dword:1 change the dword value to 0 to disable it from showing sim contacts.

I added these to the wiki found here

To disable, simply clear the value to 0:

@fone_fanatic,

Thanks for the info, however I have since hard reset the device and loaded only selected Cingular Extended ROM cabs. I did not load the "ShortString_Keypad_XML.CAB" and the "the PP_PIE_Default.CAB".

I am assuming the first cab is related with my issue with the keyboard and the second cab could have the proxy issue everyone is complaining about.

I also did not load the following cabs:

C_Cingular_GoodEmail

C_getmail.ppc2005

C_GetTeleNav

Hermes_BBC_launcher

Hopefully I was correct with my assumptions above.

I've read the WIKI, related stickies and every post in this thread.

I am thinking about installing just the OS from this ROM and then use the SA ExtROM for the HTC customizations. I have an unbranded HTC TyTN and would like to not have to deal with the hard coded proxy nor the other Cingular specific enhancements(my understanding is that they are stored in the ExtROM).

Would just installing the OS essentially update the AKU 3.3 without the Cingular settings?
