NEWBIE POST>>DON'T JUDGE ME
I've read in a few forums around different sites that many people simply soft reset their phone when the phone informs them that its going to begin the extended rom update (as apart of the ROM update that includes OS and radio)...
So my question is why are so many people on here saying that they want to update their rom but keep their EXT rom so they have GPRS, MMS and other settings kept consistent?
eg. I have a US T-Mobile MDA coming in a few days, I want the I-mate K-Jam rom on there but I want to keep T-Mobile's EXT. Rom with it's settings and what not, so I am simply going to update the rom and cut it off before it starts the extended rom, does anyone know of any problems that may occured, because according to what I've read there haven't been any.
Seems much more practical than installing the ENTIRE K-Jam Rom (OS, radio, extended) and then having to double back and re-install your original extended rom.... LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE'S TRIED IT!
This is a bad idea. First of all, if you pull the device from the cradle in the middle of the update, I can't guarentee that you'll be able to get it out of bootloader mode and back to working without some major effort. If you're a newbie, that may not be something you want to do. There's also no guarentee that pulling the device in the middle of the update won't turn it into a brick, either.
I know you want the K-JAM Extended ROM. I would just wait until an Extended ROM unlocker is released and then customize it the way you want. I've been doing this stuff for about 10 years, and without the right tools, you're taking a huge, unnecessary risk.
But that's just my 2 cents...
Well I didn't mean pull it off the cable, I just meant soft reset when it prompts 'beginning customization in 3..2...1..'
But thanks for your advice, I haven't done anything yet anyways, phone's still in the mail
You should try my custom T-Mobile USA 2.17 rom. Posted here in the forum.
you are still able to connect with your t-mobile gprs, mms even you ve updated to kjam's or other kinds of firmware, all you need to do is to get the setting from t-mobile's website.

Keep in mind that flashing to a nonofficial rom voids your warranty. I am in no way responsible for any issues you may come across when attempting to update your rom. Please keep your questions about this rom in this thread, various users including myself can help you if needed. Please do not pm me with general questions about this rom or the mda, they would be better answered in the thread.

[ Description ]
I was going to wait until the AKU 2.2 update was released before cooking a new rom but I've grown impatient. This is the latest os rom available and while it doesn't add anything new feature wise I have changed some other things around for the better. The first thing I did was update the rom install process to automatically attempt to CID-UNLOCK the device and because of this change I have recompiled all of my current roms with the new installer. The second thing I did was go through ALL of the T-Mobile default customizations and cropped out only what was needed; I also cleaned out all of the other cabs used during the customization process. The third thing was creating a new set of registry tweaks to my liking. In the end, on a fresh boot the device has over 40MB of storage space available and over 25mb of memory free.
If you have issues upgrading to the 2.x roms I would advise downgrading to 1.08 first and then try installing 2.x roms again.

Enjoy!
just in case I would install a english ROM (german ones are usually quite late), could I change the keyboard language?

so what's so special about this ROM? Did they remove the stupid battery meter from where the date/time should be? I already like 2.17 even though the caller id doesn't show up on my BT headset as it did on my old JAM. Was it worth the upgrade?
Thanks for doing this!! I too have become anxious and would like to upgrade. I have been running the last custom rom you cooked and I have been happy with it thus far. However, as of recently I have been having the random phone resetting issue that has been discussed in various other threads.
Does your current custom rom address that issue, as well as put in the stereo BT fix?
Looking forward to doing the upgrade!!
Upgrade working great so far.
Upgrade!
I have a sickness. I have to apply updates when they come available. It is a strange compulsion. Am I alone? I actually love doing it.

I never had this issue but other users are reporting random bug fixes with this OS version so it may help.

Since I don't own a stereo bluetooth headset I didn't include it yet. It can be found on my site though under notused apps. ZokiA2DP.
xelencin - YOU ARE THE MAN ! ! !
thanks again for all the work ... I have been using your 2.17 ROM since the day I got my T-Mobile MDA flawlessly and I just saw you released a new one - I'm going to install it right now.
keep up the good work ...
Keyboard tweaked
Just installed this on a Qtek 9100 and now the keyboard is no longer mapping to what the silk screen on the key says it should be. Looks like there are some differences in key mappings between the MDA and the 9100. I did try switching it from USA English to UK English and then back to see if it was a Regional Setting error and there was no change. It is not huge differences, but large enough that when you are using the keyboard that you have to hunt around with the "alt" button until you find the right key you are looking for. The hyphen key now maps to the underscore when you press the alt key now- stuff like that. Will definitly want to be careful if you intend to install this on a 9100 or Kjam, I think.

Tmobile USA MDA
Hi,
I am new to this and have been reading the msgs on this forum for a few days now. I just got the new MDA they have available in the USA. I just DL :
T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2210401_221_20710_ENG_US.exe
I did not install this yet. Still am a bit confused
I know its stated that it will automaticly unlock the CID, but how about the SIM? Will it also unlock the SIM? If so I guess there is nothing else to do, as it will unlock both SIM and CID and then install the new ROM. If not how do I unlock the SIM?
Also another question I have is RING TONES!! tmo only has a handful of ring tones installed. I have some great ring tones that I have on my old phone. I want to transfer them to the MDA, but where would they be saved to on the MDA, and how would I select them?
Thank You in advance for everyones help.

thanks for the new rom. Im a newbie here and i just used the lokowitz to unlock my o2 xda mini s.My question on this new rom is there a special way to run it or should i just copy it onto my mini s and just execute it. I already unlocked it and im using it for tmobile usa, just need to get the tmo rom. please advise.
xelencin, thanks as always.. i downloaded yesterday from here. Have to wait till after plumber comes and goes before i update... :roll:
Adding A2DP AVRCP
Xelecin:
Nice work as usual. I just barely flashed the 2.17. I was using the 2.8 Qtek Test ROM because of the A2DP and AVRCP. Can this be added to your ROM somehow?
Also, is it bad to flash the ROMs a few time?
Thanks in advance.
just dloaded it - and gonna give it a try...
cheers!
:wink:
what is the difference between the rom's you upload to ftp
I have mda vario. I want to upgrade rom but I'm not sure that I know the right rom available. xelencin upload 3 rom to ftp server of xda-developers(ftp://xda-developers.com/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/xelencin/). I don't know what is the difference so I want to learn the correct rom for my mda vario. Thank you
Do the ipl, spl, radio and os all come from O2 UK ROM? (which is the fastest base ROM I have tried).
Many Thanks
Martin
clock and battery still in same place wtf gives?!?
I installed this ROM on my Wizard. The express reason I installed it was because the wi-fi was non-functional for me on the stock T-Mobile firmware. This firmware doesn't seem to work either in the wi-fi department for me. The Wizard detects my wireless network and I'm prompted to enter a key (I use just WEP encryption). I enter the key and it never seems to connect. I have entered the key numerous times to make sure I have it right to no avail. One time it did seem to make a connection with my wireless network but quickly disconnected. There are other devices on my wireless network so I know it's working. My wireless network is just a simple Netgeat 802.11b access point. This is getting really frustrating. I'm running out of idea on what to try and was hoping for some help here.
Hey,
I just flashed my friends MDA with this new firmware with the 2.21 custom and everything went fine except after its done and i rebooted it, i am getting "Data Crashes. Please contact your system provider" and where the start button is, SIMlock is being displayed. Is there something obvious that i have missed or whats going on? I have the MDA too, succesfully installed 2.17 a few weeks ago. Any ideas?
Hello all,
I've upgraded my Cingular 8125 device to the latest official ROM from Cingular/HTC. These are my current versions:
ROM Version: 2.25.11.1 WWE
ROM Date: 5/11/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM Version: 2.25.11.102
However, I've noticed that at least once or twice a day when I'm on a phone call, my call is suddenly dropped! I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to make calls again. My guess is that there is something funky going on with the radio version that I'm using. Is there a later (more stable) radio ROM that I could upgrade to? Notice that I have my device configured quite well and I wouldn't want to wipe it out entirely again (as I already did to upgrade to the latest 2.25.11.1 Cingular-approved ROM). Is it possible to just upgrade the radio ROM without having to wipe my device again? If so, which radio ROM should I upgrade to, and where is it available?
Thanks!
Ryan
Ignore all I wrote, was a bit uninformed
sorry
Look for the 2.47.11 Radio Rom in the Wizad FTP section.
Molski
For the life of me, I can't find that ROM on the Wizard FTP site. Could you please post the path? Thanks!
_Nomad_ said:
I'm afraid that there isn't any way to upgrade to a later radio ROM for the wizard, there are a few later versions embedded in various ROMs available at the forum though there's always a minority of ppl that do experience call dropouts now and again with all of these, so upgrading doesn'y guaranty a solution . Best bet would in my opinion still be to hard reset your device and start from scratch... Best of luck

Excuse me but WTF are you talking about?
btw, the 2.47.11 is here
way to go Dr Puttingham
I sure do love it when people provide real links instead of "go check this/that".
I have a question also. I am getting my new TMobile MDA from a this seller on eBay
I want to know what I should do first? Do I need to CID unlock, Registry unlock. If so, how and in what order. I plan to use a T-Mobile SIM card so I probably don't need SIM unlock at least for now unless it is required to do some of the apparently needed OS and radio ROM modifications. I got the radio ROM you provided, so I assume I will need that.

From what I gather on here, you'll need to use a CID unlock, but only if you plan on putting an unbranded or custom ROM on your MDA...otherwise it will work find out of the box. Keep in mind that not having any restrictions (CID / Registry) is always preferred

I have the exact same setup, with no customizations on my 8125 and am having a terrible time with calls dropping. Did you find the radio ROM upgrade and did it work?
Thanks.
its already been solved in another thread. apparently its the data connection trying to activate 4 min into a call and dropping the call. the fix is a reg change so that data knows to remain suspended.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=995659&postcount=272
How to?
Well I downloaded the radio ROM but I have no idea what to do next. I searched the site for how to install the update but came up empty.
Any information on how to install the new radio ROM would be appreciated.
As for the registry edit for data connection I am not sure that this is the solution as the calls drop at random intervals, not 4 minutes. I don't have anything (that I know of) which would be trying to create a data connection anyway.
For the registry edit I would need Total Commander correct? Is it really safe for a Noob like myself to make these changes? I can program a vcr but I once deleted part of my operating system in an attempt to get more disk space on my computer. Now I know better but not a lot better.
Thanks
Read this thread for info about Radio Rom Only Updaters...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=268031
Thank you. Looks like exactly what I need. There wasn't the 2.47.11 radio rom in the list there but I will go through those steps to reinstall the ROM that I have and see what I can learn.
I installed the 2.47.11 radio ROM and calls kept dropping. I called Cingular and they assured me it must be the device so they are sending out my 4th 8125. I complained and made a nuisance of myself so they are sending me a free 8525 in addition to the 8125 I have. in the meantime I went to the Cingular store for a loaner so I wouldn't be dropping calls all the time. Even the nokia loaner was dropping all the calls, switched to my unlocked nokia 6820, still drops. Must be the network and not the device.
Hi,
I am having a dropped call problem.
I have a tilt and have upgraded to the ATT 6.1 ROM. It says CE OS 5.2.1622 Build 18128.0.4.4. The ROM version is 1.62.502.0 dated 1/17/08. The radio version is 1.27.14.09. The Protocol Version is 22.45.88.07H.
It seems that when the calls drop, the arrows under the "H" or the "E" are showing that the radio is trying to connect.
I have installed the tweak application and am using most of the "recommended" settings. I also have HTC home customizer but that's about it.
I also have a problem with emails where occasionally instead of opening the email I've tapped it goes to the last application.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Dave
Try the download from the htc site, for whatever reason, i think you may have a radio compatible with 6.0. So you could also try a newer radio.
Try Upgrading
Hello Dave,
By the device information you have provided, it sounds like you have the older ATT Tilt ROM Upgrade From January. The newest one, that upgrades your radio, CE Build, and Protocol, also upgrades you to wm6.1. I don't believe you have 6.1 based on your device information. You can find the Rom Upgrade here: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94. You can also find detailed ROM Flashing Instructions if you haven't flashed before here: http://www.htc.com/uploadedFiles/Co...lt+Detailed+ROM+Installation+Instructions.pdf . FYI, if you haven't flashed before, you should remove your SIM and storage cards and disable storage card encryption before flashing and make sure that you hard reset before you flash. This update will update your radio and other device aspects that could very well solve your dropped call issues. Good luck,
-Dave
Thank you very much
Hi, noob here,
I recently added TofClock WM6.0 version to my Himalaya II, but I lost the functionality of the phone dialer, and the ability to make or recieve calls. I called myself from the home phone and nothing happened, then I instantly got a message saying I had a missed call. I then installed WM6.1 which is working fine, but still the dialer is no longer working? I cant click it in the start bar, I cant click the green call button on the device, I cant go into programs and open I am currently on:
WM6.1
Rome Version: 6.1.2a16CS
Radio Version: 1337.18
CE OS 5.2.19209
Build 19209.1.0.2
Is there something I can install to patch this problem?
Also is there a patch that will restore the functionality of the tasks and calender as I really need them, they stopped working after the first update from 2003, and I need it for Uni.
Sorry if this has been posted before but I really did search for ages on these forums before signing up to ask.
Any help would be brill.
Help!!! this is still a problem. I really like the Himalaya, but without it being able to function with a dialer or receive call, it is useless to me.
For me it seems like a hardware problem or a corrupted radio rom.
Did you try to flash back to your original WM2k3. I hope you made a backup.
Or try to flash the radio again, without changing the OS.
You can find them here:http://old.buzzdev.net/downloads.php?category=8
Good luck
Thankyou for your reply. I have downloaded the new radio. Can you send me a link on how to flash this file. Do I just add the software to the phone via active sync and then install it?
I am still new to this, and it seems to be unable to get Network service from my cell phone company.
I feel like the phone is bricked. *sigh*
As I remember, you flash the radio rom as if it is a compete rom, but I'm not sure, yet.
Look around, I read about it somewhere. Use search function here or at buzz.net.
Good luck.
If your device has got a bricked phone function and is not useable for you any longer don't through it away.
One of the rom cookers in this forum (master efsane from turkey) has ruined his device, and I try to organize one for him as I did for master Ather (former Ather90).
Maybe it is possible to get him back to our forum this way, because it seems not to be as easy to build good (german) WM6.5 rom.
As your device is able to receive sms, it sounds as an issue with the ringer. Does it show an incoming call?
