Hybrid Wifi problems

I'm a noob, have a new cingular 8525 (with the 1.40.30 radio) and I've installed the hybrid version of vp3G's WM6 and I can't seem to get wifi to work, no matter whether I try to connect to an encrypted or a nonencrypted network, it'll say connected, but then when I try to use that network with PIE, it just sits there and says "locating..." and then gives up after a while.

I've done some searches and I haven't seen this problem mentioned (although it could be that I missed it in some other thread). Anyone have any idea what my problem might be?

Thanks for your help.

@Edray10

I believe the second post mentions that you need to disable the proxy in the proxy manager to use wifi or activesync passthrough.

Crackberry edit

Looks good to me.

Definitely flash Hard-SPL before going any further, especially if you're going to flash something you've hex edited. There's no radio in this ROM and that's where the biggest risk of bricking lies. Worst case your edited OS won't boot (and you reflash with something known good), but it appears you've done it right. :)

BTW, you're correct, Elf 2.1 does not support 4gb SDHC

thanks vp3G!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
If it works, RAR it up, send it up to RapidShare, PM me the link and I'll add it to the offerings.

Only reason I haven't done it myself yet is that I don't have Crackberry to test with. Oh no wait, it's because I despise Crackberry! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] otherreligion:
Hey vp3G,

From what i''m reading and from what i've been told this is the ROM for me and my Cingular 8525. i still have the AT&T newly provided ROM on it and therefore if it is not obvious this would be my first Flash.

I just called in to Cingular because yesterday my hone's radio has decided that it wanted to stop working. I did the soft reset and hard reset thing and well no go. So i have a over price pda at the moment. (WIFI still works)

I Have Cingular sending me a new phone and it should get here in a few days. i would like to get your opinion on somthing. I was hoping to flash this phone but i want to make sure when Cingular gets it back they get it back as though it were their rom and their boot loader.

So i see in your previous post that i should upgrade to HardSPL and while i want to do that what are the chances of keeping the same bootloader? are there things with HardSPL that is needed for this ROM to work?

I could just wait for the new phone to come in and should i mess it up i have a nice $500 brick to show off. (LOL)

Please let me know if you think what i want to do is a good idea/worth doing. A friend of mine has my wizard and is flashing the hell out of it and is very happy with some of the ROMs out there and he talked me into doing it.

Thanks in Advanced and not sure if it means much since i'm not using your ROM but it looks like you are doing a great job form what i'm reading. Keep it up.

Disable the AT&T proxy (in the Proxy Manager folder under Programs) and it will work fine...

EDIT: You'll need to restore the proxy to access location-based services on MEdia Net.

according to pof's post above, you just load a shipped spl and it is back to stock.

anyone had issues flashing on vista? i downloaded the rtm build.. ran the exe, picked auto detect and continued through the process..

just when it reboots the device and is about to begin flashing.. it gives me a connection error

The serial # is HT649F207904 and i had it for about two months if that long. I'm now in jamaica and plan to get it exchange throw warranty when i get back to the states.... :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Yep sounds about right... maybe 2 months tops and barely used at that. S/N on the one I had replaced was HT706Fxxxxxx. I think they're sequential, so it sounds as if yours may have come from a bit older stock. Doubt that matters, though.

Interesting thing in my case was that although I'd broken the warranty seal to replace the screen, they still replaced it free of charge and any notes as to what they did with the unit seem to be AWOL. :eek:

Hi is it possible for you to give out the cingular customization program in a .cab or separate from downloading your whole rom?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
There is a thread on here for the Cingular Programs (ie XM Radio, MobiTV etc) And see my signature for the WAP Data settings. The CAB for the keybd for the 8525 is here. What else do you need????

I am trying to download this upgrade from the hermes guide. When I download the radio link and the vp3g link I dont get the romupgrade.exe file I only get the nbh file. ??????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gondalguru:
No issues with flasing using VISTA. Did u follow the guide for the necessary changes you have to make to WMDC before u start flashing hermes?

Thanks VP3G. Very nice ROM. I had lots of problem with your first verison. But V 2.0 rocks. Great work. Much appriciated your time and effort.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] HTCFAN0923:
I was downloading the rtm build b/c schap's rom became WAYYY too buggy and so I downloaded the rtm build but it keeps closing the program down after I extract it from WinRAR

Custom RUU has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] guyver2077:
i looked in the first post and wiki... what do i have to do to WMDC?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SkOrPn:
If you have a microSD card handy you could rename the .nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and insert it into the slot and do a HR. This will start the flashing process. Make sure you have HardSPL 2.10 Oli before you start though.

Now that I have a secondary microsd card I wont ever flash using usb again. I have noticed less problems with the end product this way... And its kinda faster imo...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] breaststroke56:
Awesome Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] c0wb0ycliche:
this is far and above the single greatest rom i have ever used

It's the one and only "RTM" I've released. There have been two "Hybrid" releases (2.0h, 2.0.1h).

I do have caller ID disappear from my 8525 after flashing vp3G's WM6 ROM. Everthing else works great. Does anyone know the fix?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wwwes:
thanks vp3g!

great rom. my hex edits worked and blackberry connect 2.1.2.54 is working well. I backed up the db and db2 files for bbc from my old rom and even got my old emails back!

I made the regedit for the aku version as well.

I flashed it using the sdcard method, but the ruu should work too.

I just put in my new 4gb sdhc card and it works like a champ!

I will push the crackberry hex edit version and a reg file for the aku version fix up to rapidshare and send you the link when I get a chance.

this rom is really nice. thanks for posting this great work.

Hello toyfreak,

I don't have an "proxy manager folder" in programs.

I did a SR during AT&T setup because of dutch KPN-network

Great rom!

Edited the page pool to 16 mb and runs like hell

the only prob i got is that if i start windows messenger and hit the X button

and start it again the process hangs or something and cant login any more..

so the only thing i can do is when i login to msn just stay @ that window..

any idea's

I second this re. vP3G's hybrid 2. First time since the 6.0 game started here that I install a ROM + all my progs + no tweaking at all = No SOD. Awesome peace of work.

Radio issues

I am currently in South America and started to confirm a small problem for me.

Again disclaimer: I have not changed Radio's in over two months.....

I am running VP3G Hybrid without Cingular Customizations.

After going to no service (Inside elevator etc) The phone will not pick a signal back up unless I force the phone to flight mode and back to normal. (Essentially resetting the radio) I had this in Wash DC and thought it was crappy cingular but it is happening in South America on the TIM network now too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] caturix:
Signal

I am in the DC area currently running 2.0.1h and was running the RTM as a test. I go through many areas where I will lose service (especially on the parkway) and in buildings and it always picks right back up for me.

I am running radio 1.40.30.00
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
I do hope you mean the GLYPHCACHE.... :eek:

Had a similar issue today with WLM, and it took a S/R to clear it up. The navigation of WL is pretty quirky in general and it seemed to get confused. Could be that the latest X-Button messes with it as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] viperflyer:
While it is true that I used to have SPB phone suite at the time of experienc, the problem went away after I toggled OFF 3G Video setting via HTCustom (out of curiosity I had it turned on). it is quite possible that SPB phone suite maybe conflicting with the phone dialer as I could not see all the phone suite icons in the Today pluggin. anyhow, the problem is solved and I am enjoying great browsing and processor speed, stable BT, voice tag w/back-up and other additional features thanks to vp3G Hybrid ROM. Great work!

I am trying to put the hard spl on my phone so I can install vp3g. I am using the ruu waraper to install however when I click on update my phone automatically goes into bottloader mode and I get an error for the update?? any suggestions? or other ways to put this on my phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
@breaststroke56:

Have to use 'force SSPL' option when installing Hard-SPL.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] breaststroke56:
I did I folowed the step by step instructions but when I click update in goes into bootload mode and that kicks me off of active sync so I get an error. Could I put the file on my storage card and flash hard spl on my phone??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] singhnx:
wpbear, this happened to me also ... however, over the course of having this cooked ROM on my phone for the past (I want to say week ... I loaded it when it back when the 2.1h wasn't available), it's only happened to me twice.

In both instances, once I went to flight mode and then exited out of it, the phone picked up the signal again. So, although, I've experienced what you're talking about, but certainly not at the same frequency level that you did.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Hmmm... well, ActiveSync closing is normal.

If you have advanced network functionality enabled in the USB settings of your existing ROM, turn it off.

Once in the SSPL bootloader it should show SPL-1.09.des (from memory... may not be exact) near the top and switch from 'Serial' to 'USB' at the bottom when it reconnects to your PC. If flashing from Vista you may have more work to do (i think there's a mrvanx guide for this).

Don't believe you can flash SPL from the SD card, but could be wrong...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] singhnx:
breaststroke56, try leaving your phone in the tri color bootloader screen and then running the Hard SPL program again. It's been a while since I Hard SPL'ed my phone, but I think I had to do it this way also.

Are you using the most current v7? I'm not trying to be rude by asking, just double checking.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] breaststroke56:
yes Iam

this is my first time trying to flash

so when I get in bootload run the ruu wrapper again?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Good thought. Pull the cable and reconnect it, even (do this only after the update fails and before starting it again!). Bootloader must be SSPL otherwise it's a no-go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] breaststroke56:
My phone will not reconnect when I am bootload mode? any other suggestions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] breaststroke56:
I am I miising somthing here. I cant get the hardspl v7 to flash on my phone I am using the ruu wrapper I forse sspl tick all the box's update and click next then my phone goes straight to bootloader mode and disconects the active sync and will not reconect untill I restart the device??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] breaststroke56:
I am still trying to hard spl my phone. my bootloader reads:

IPL-SSPL by Des

SPL-1.09.ds

I cant seem to get this to work pleas any one help:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] breaststroke56:
okay I finally got the hard spl. I had to uninstall active sync and reinstal it.

Now I need to get the vp3g on my phone. when I downloaded the file it didnt come with a ruu.wrapper for easy instalation. How else can I get this instaled?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cschilly:
You have to unzip the files.... there's a wrapper file in there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Prerna:
@wpbear: donno if this can help, but I experienced something similar recently with my old HTC Magician. I took it to a 5 weeks trip to West Asia, and got a real hard time catching the signal. Whenever the signal was lost it would not reconnect. I had to do manual searches all of the time, and also often softresets in order to get the signal.

I must say it has the latest available radio for the Magician, and it worked like a dream here in Europe for many years...

Streaming media problem

I've been using Black 3.01 and just switched to vp3G's 2.0 Hybrid this weekend after deciding I didn't want to use Black Majic. Everything has been working so far except streaming media.

I have a server set up at home that streams 3gp video using Apple's Darwin Streaming Server. When I try to connect using AT&T's GPRS network I always get the "Failed to find network" error. I've tried pretty much every data connection setting I can think of (using both wap.cingular and isp.cingular) but nothing seems to work. I don't have a proxy enabled anywhere and I've run the Proxy Manager "Disable Proxy" program.

With the Black roms streaming media worked after installing the "Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settings2" cab. I tried installing the vp3G rom, bypassing the ATT customizations with a soft reset and then installing that same cab, but it still didn't work.

Does anyone have any further suggestions or ideas for troubleshooting? BTW, very nice work on this rom!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tiptoekirk:
I was a new user of the 8525(only had it 2 days before flashing to wm6) I do not remember or not but now that I have vp3G's Hybrid build installed on my 8525 I am not able to zoom in and out when using the camera.. Is this a hardware problem, software problem or is it me?? how do you zoom in and out on this thing? thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] toyfreak:
It sounds like you're in 2M (2 mega pixels) mode (you can't use digital zoom at this setting). Switching to a lower resolution should allow you to tap the screen or use the hardware keyboard or d-pad up/down keys to change the zoom setting... There's a table on page 151 here:

https://www.wireless.att.com/support_static_files/manuals/ATT_8525.pdf

EDIT: I have tested this on my device (see my signature; I have the same hardware/software as you) and the zoom is working fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
I can't get the streaming media app to work at all either.

Also, if I have wifi turned on, then turn it off, neither my MobiTV or XM Radio will function again unless I turn wifi back on or reboot the phone.

Kind of annoying.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Not for anything, but I don't believe this statement below from page 1 is quiet clear. Although person asking the question did not read the first page carefully or at all.

Change 'SMS \ MMS' combined Inbox name: [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS] "FriendlyName"

There is a registry key name "FriendlyName" which has the "SMS \ MMS" as the the value. Should that value be changed to "FriendlyName", "SMS", "MMS", or What?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Change the value of "FriendlyName" to anything you want... but it won't separate the combined Inbox. That's a "feature" of Arcsoft MMS v4.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jsaletan:
Just stating the obvious here, but if you can get 3G with wm5 you should be able to get it with both Black Majic and vp3G v2.0. Did you make sure you're using the same data connection settings you had with wm5?

This is what I'm showing with vp3G:

Start-->Settings-->Connections tab-->Connections-->MEdia Net (Manage existing connections)-->MEdia Net (Edit...)

Enter a name for the connection: MEdia Net

Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)

Access point name: wap.cingular

User name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

(Advanced...)

TCP/IP tab: * Use server-assigned IP address

Servers tab: * Use server-assigned IP address

Start-->Settings-->Connections tab-->Connections-->MEdia Net (Set up my proxy server)

* This network connects to the Internet

(proxy box unchecked)

---------------------

Note that vp3G v2.0 comes with AT&T network settings but Black Majic does not. If you're using Black Majic you might try the "Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2.cab"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] breaststroke56:
Yes I had the settings exactly the same as you mentioned. Those match my wifes also. I have got to be missing somthing.??

Please some one give me a solution.
