It goes like this, I have a cingular 8125 I updated it to 2.8.7 and it was good but it overwrote my extended rom, so to repair it I had to flash back to 1.5.4 and Overwrite the extended ROM with my Cingular backup I made with aWizard, so I have the extended rom fixed. So I used the aWizard to update just the OS ROM back to 1.8.11 from my cingular backup, but I noticed my SPL and IPL versions went from 2.?? to 1.?? going back to the 1.5 ROM. A side note when I do a hard reset it locks up while installing my cingular stuff from the extended ROM and it never did before. Any1 have any ideas how to use my backup to restore it completly or how to update the SPL and IPL or how to unlock the ROM on the 2.8.7 ROM ? Thanks alot!

I updated to the latest iMate ROM and want to revert back to the factory T-Mobile US configuration. I managed to flash back the OS and radio ROM backups, but the boot screens still show HTC. Also, it seems like the ext ROM is protected or something. I unlocked it and it's visible, but I can't copy to or from it. Lastly, what are the IPL and SPL versions? Is that not restorable from aWizard backups? Thanks in advance!
Hello!
I wan't to totally get rid off the T-Mobile branding and so I decided flashing the original qtek rom ver. 2.18 GER. I used awizard to unlock cid, backup roms and afterwards tried to flash the QTEK rom. Now the program throwed error 296 "upgrade only". I read several posts in the forum describing how to do a downgrade and downloaded the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe which I tried to flash to the phone before upgrading to qtek ROM. But when I try to flash the custom rom the updater gives me "ERROR 300":this ROM cannot be used with your phone.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
TIA.
okay... I read a bit more and seems that there is currently no possibility to flash another rom into my phone with version 2.21 without turning it into a brick, right? so I think I will better keep the TMO software until anyone finds a possibility to do an up- or downgrade on this...
If your IPL and SPL were 2.xx, then you can upgrade your ROM to any 2.xx Wizard rom by following this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
Alternatively, you could install my cooked rom Wizard_Love 2.26 (it is safe, because it doesn't contain IPL and SPL part) which is a operator-independent ROM.
thx wlove!
so just to clarify that I understand it right- with this tutorial I WILL be able to flash the ver. 2.18 of the QTEK rom to my IPL/SPL ver. 2.21 phone?
Yes, just follow the instruction carefully, then you will definitely get it done (not just for 2.18 version, but for all the higher rom version as well). I have done it over and over again using this method without any problem. This method is safe, because it doesn't your touch the IPL and SPL part, even if your computer was power off in middle of flashing, you'll still be able to flash it again, your phone is not death yet. However, remember do a full charge of your battery before upgrading your ROM. Good luck.
thank you! I was finally able to flash my phone with an unbranded rom version!
Nice, enjoy your new ROM.
i'm new to this so don't burn me
i just downgraded my 8125 to 1.08, i unlocked the sim/cid
then upgraded to cincular 2.26 aku2.3 by shogunmark, but the ipl is still 1.08???
so what am i doing worng?
thanks in advance !
IPL left out of rom
flashing the wrong ipl will brick a device eg. (ipl 2.26.0001 --->G3 device-->Brick)
the 2.26 cingular rom might not update your ipl try another rom like molski 30mb then reflash to 2.26 cingular rom ! post your findings
its not a g4, its a g3
its has been working since the upgrade, so would i be safe to load the latest rom by molski...thanks LMK
ok, upgrade to molski rom was success
is there a way to remove task manager from the bottom right and bring back the battery status, also are ther any skins to the dial pad. one more question can u customize the desktop like remove things i won't be using...thanks for all ur help!
When I had flashed over to Summiter's Cingular AKU 2.3 + CF2 Test 2 package, I had let it do the upgrade and came back after the installation of the image finished with the phone rebooted.
I never got a chance to glance at the boot-up screen until just a moment ago and noticed that the IPL and SPL read as the following...
IPL: 2.24
SPL: 2.26
My phone is CID Unlocked and also SIM unlocked from the downgrade/lokwiz/upgrade/flash tutorial and in addition I do know that Summiter has not been around. I just wanted to see if anyone out there is using Summiter's ROM and noticed this.
I have just reflashed to Molski's Clean ROM and the IPL & SPL now read 2.26 for both, in fears of the phone bricking for those wondering.
What's your question?
Hi Miata. I'm not quite sure what you are asking.
I was just wondering if anyone is using Summiter's Cingular Clean ROM and if they are... Did they notice that the IPL and SPL are different?
I wouldn't want anyone else to brick their phones.
The last custom rom I used was the same Summiter rom. I went directly from that rom to Molski's 30 MB Rev 3 Rom on my CID/SIM unlocked G3 8125 with no problems.
my current numbers
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GMS 02.47.11
OS 2.26.10.2
All with no problems
After upgrading to Molski's 30mb Clean ROM, my IPL and SPL fixed themselves thankfully to 2.26. Just trying to double check if I was seeing things or not, because it would be a shame for someone to brick their phone just simply because they need the Cingular settings in a custom ROM.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you just needed the Cingular GPRS and MMS settings you can get that in any rom... There are threads that have all of the Cingular settings integrated into CAB files.
See HERE
Page 1 has the MMS settings files, Page 3 has the GPRS/EDGE settings files
How can I upgrade my Radio ROM to 2.19.11?
I'e got:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.12.10.0
OS 6.0.0.1
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Choose one from below, then flash it directly.
T-Mobile-NL_2.19.11_Radinly
T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly
Tried that but then my GSM was gone... no Radio whatsoever... Any ideas?
Thanks.
Did you unzip the folder and run ROM update? If you did then the problem is you need to upgrade to IPL 2.26 & SPL 2.26
It's because you have a 1.xx IPL and SPL. The only way that it is going to work is if you upgrade your ROM. You're going to have to upgrade the whole thing cuz if you would just upgrade the IPL/SPL to 2.xx to make the GSM work then the OS wouldn't.
OR download latest official carrier Rom AKU 2 version,to upgrade to IPL/SPL2.xx,than upgrade to Radio 2.19 if he doesn't want to opt for unlocking and upgrade
Thanks for the replies... just one last question, if I upgrade the whole ROM to IPL/SPL to 2.xx will the XDA remain unlocked (SIM & CID)?
Thanks.
Yes it will, unless the ROM contains a CID but I don't know of any that do. I know for sure that the T-Mobile ROM doesn't since it's the one I always flash back to before flashing a newly cooked WM6 ROM.
