Hello there,
Cingular 8125 owner,
Some one posted that we should reset the device right before the manufacturer customization settings start running.
What is the difference if at the end of a succesful installation, we copy the cab from the original extrom?
Aside from the bootup logo, and some small specific apps, some users are reporting that with the Qtek upgrade, Syype is being installed.
Thanks in advance for your reply to this matter.
your sig says you are running 2.17.7.2 so you already have the new rom. With this rom Skype does not get installed as it is not in the EXTRom. Imate's 2.16.9.1 has skype and someone could probably give it to you from there if you want it. The Qtek rom that you are using doesn't really have any cabs that are not useful. no bloat. But don't use Cingular's cabs after the upgrade.

I've bought locked version of cingular SX66 some how managed to unlock the set, but I'm affraid of trying upgrade my SX66, will it be safe to upgrade after unlock? or it'll lock the set again... I've downloaded the file from siemens' site but never tried?
I have a Cingular SX66. I unlocked the phone prior to upgrading to Win 2k5. Once you upgrade, you would need to unlock your phone again with the win 2k5 unlock took found in the Wiki.
As for upgrading, I have upgraded following the Wiki to the Himalaya ROM without any problems. There are some settings you will need to change when flashing your files.
XGULA01 is the carrier code I think. You need to double check that in the forums as well. The ROM is very stable but may give you delays like when you press the Start key. Other then that, there has been no problems after upgrading.
I too have a Cingular (AT&T version). I have not unlocked my phone (not sure it ever was, but I currently don't care) and have tried both the Himalaya and Wizard versions.
I found the Wizard version to be more stable and with a few less installation headaches. You do need to create a EXTROM directory on a SD card before you upgrade, but the results are worth it.
Siemens SX66 locked??
Cingular sells these unlocked. I bought mine at a Cingular Corporate store not a reseller and it was not locked. The one my roomate bought at a different Corp store was also unlocked. We have both upgraded to the last ROM Siemens had before they removed this device from their site without issue....
I didn't want to try the Wizard version due to its lack of resolutions with MS voice command.
Can you list your updates and your programs that you got to work?

I ran with the Wizard ROM for a while, but went to the Himalaya and believe it is much better. I posted a couple of my reasons in the BA Wizard ROM thread. One of them was how smooth Voice Command ran with the Himalaya ROM. There seemed to be a delay with everything using the Wizard ROM. There's a new Wizard ROM out there that I hope Mamaich can release for us to test. Maybe it will be better.
Thank u so much guys.. I'm noob and want to ask a stupid question: The WM2003 upgrade that siemens offer on their web site is either Himalaya OR Wizard? and what r the main differences between these two? do u guys recommend to upgrade to WM2005? any link for??
Regards...

which languages are supported? is a2dp included?
works good on my MDA Vario
has anyone flashed this ROM or can anyone post the EXTROM? wondering what autoconfig setting has this ROM got...
no change between the 2.17 and 2.21
i upgraded my 8125 cinguler to the new 2..21 dopod i didnt install the extened rom because i running tmobile on mine its faster clean no headeach or reset so far slow on boot up maybe 60 to 65 second on boot up other than that i really didnt find any defference betwen the 2 rom if u happy with 2.17 theres no reson to upgrade
I am uploading this package to the Wizard FTP now.
folder:
/Wizard/Roms/Dopod
Can anyone post the version details (ie. build, os version, radio version)
Seem nothing new.kinda I-must-catch-up ROM...
can we get confirmation that it's English? and also, what is included in the Rom? Push mail? BT stereo, etc.. any custumizations, etc..
So Im guessing its not worth it to upgrade from 2.17 then
Hmm, can anyone else confirm that it's English and confirm that it will work on their Qtek 9100? What else is included in this rom?
yes its english
yes guys its in english

Nope.. it's the same as 2.17 as far as core OS and radio goes. Only difference I see is the customizations.
I don't expect we'll see a different core OS in a ROM until/unless MS releases an AKU 3 or some other packaged-up set of bugfixes.
Most carriers are super reluctant to release ROM upgrades because of the risks of increased support costs for Upgrades Gone Wild(tm). (meaning bad flashes, bricked devices etc)
Just flash it today from 217 to 221. I can feel my 8125 can get better camera quality, and connect to the WIFI faster than b4 after upgrade it. Everything else are the same.
Well radio rom version seems to be different 2.19?
So ive got the imate 2.16.9.1 WWE
i can install this one and just soft reset before the extended rom loads and be ok?
is the .17 better then the .16 ive got btw?
btw im running this rom on an 8125. i DONT think its CID unlocked. any way to check?
i don't know why, but i seem to be having problems connecting to the internet through either wifi or ActiveSync. Pocket IE returns blank pages for any page i access. Is anyone having the same problem with this ROM?
so any other news about this rom? it hasnt recieved much feedback
This one works flawlessly on my Dopod 838/T-Mobile network, so far
Can anyone confirm that upgrading to this Dopod rom from QTEK ROM RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe is okay ? The Device is Dopod 838 btw
its ok its been really buggy, but the new voicecamander is better. but its real buggy and maybee not quite as fast
Hi there!
I've just get a Wizard, and it has a GER ROM. I'm qiute bad at german, (and english too) so I want to upgrade it to a WWE ROM. My question is, what is the most clean, and fastest ROM, and where can I download it? I think there must be a step by step for newbies, but where is it? (post link please),
If I upgrade my rom, will the slide-keyborad changes from QWERTZ to QWERTY? (Letter Z changes to Y?)
Where can I found additional reg tweaks, and modification (such as overclocking) to speed up my Wizard? Which of them is the most useful?
Sorry for the many quetions. Now you should ask "Why don't you use the Search button above?", sorry but I'm too excited about upgrading to WWE, but after I've done with that, I'll use it.....Sooory
Cheers,
Hi, you need to upgrade to aku2 imate rom.
download this http://www.clubimate.com/support/KJAM/ROM/K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip
unzip it
and then activesync your phone to the pc and run above exe.
(no need to unlock your phone as it is an imate rom)
Yes the keyboard will probably change but can be changed for your language use registry wizard see here and download version r and install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
dont forget you also need to install this OpenNETCF.SDF.wce4.armv4.cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9341
to get registry wizard to run. (reg wizard has the other tweaks you wanted)
For overclocking see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40284
Thanks for the help. I've upgarded my Wizard with Summiter's rom, but my WiFi couldn't get work. so I'll try the iMate ROM ASAP.
Other questions about phone:
When I get it out of the box, it has a T-mobile ROM on it, and it has the ability to dispaly cell information.( about which town you are in), now my new ROM hasn't got this feature. Was it a Cab customization, or just an option in the WM5.0?
There is a thread here about cell info and a program you can try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46803
Also you can get cell info from gsmtestmode.exe in \windows on the device and make a link to it.
I upgrad my Qtek 9090 to WM 2005 a few days ago and now I want to revert it to WM 2003 but I don't have any backup. And I can't find any 2k3 rom in Xda ftp to download.....
In Qtek site I can find the page with has upgrades but I'm unable to download anything, I'm enter my IMEI and receive a message that says " Not a valid IMEI# (only Brightpoint authorized original products are supported by this site. Contact your place of purchase for ongoing support of your device)".
I think that is cos they don't store any IMEI if cell is sold outside Europe/Asia...
Well, searching in the net, I've found 2 2k3 ROMs, from iMate's ftp. One is i-mate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe and the other is PDA2k_PTB_12205_179_10600_SHIP.exe. I think the second ROM is in Brazillian Portuguese....
The question is: can I upload this ROM to my Qtek 9090, in order to revert it to WM 2003 ????
If the answer is no, someone can show me a link to download the correct ROM ?? For me, doesn't matter if this ROM is in english or Brazillian portuguese....
Thanks!
If you know how to install ROM you can install any of those (be aware of side efects and how to bypass device check; remeber you have to through downgrade procedure with ExtROM reformatting, if you deleted ExtROM while upgrading to WM5).
If you like any specific rom from the Wiki, I still have backup and can upload it somewhere for you.
If you want to downgrade, maybe it's possible just to fix your problems? WM5 is hudge step forward compared to 2003.

I know, but I want to test things like battery performance, wifi connection (I have access to 2 free hotspots but can't connect....)....
And when I upgrade to WM5, I don't remove ExtROM. After the upgrade, I shrink ExtROM to 2Mb. Then I whant to downgrade to test these things and, after my tests, make the upgrade again, exactly as stated in wiki....
And I only want any Qtek 9090 ROM, preferably umbranded, in english or portuguese, doesn't matter...
Oh, yes! I've searching, but no luck, for any cab that makes my hardware keyboard works right. My 9090 is in english (with WM 5) but my keyboard is portuguese one... Then, as you can see, it doesn't works right... And changes the registry entry (as stated in other topic), from 0h 20409 to 0h 20416 (the country code for Brazil) doesn't work. After softreset the code returns to original....
Thanks for your help!
AFAIK, WM03 do have better battery life n wifi connection (n don't forget about bluetooth).
Cannot Downgrade To WM 2003
I've installed WM6.1 but need to downgrade to unlock my extrom. However, my manufacturer firmware software no longer works. Any ideas?
Hi,
I have a Cingular 8125 phone, I upgraded it WM6 with one of the ROM that I downloaded from xda forums. I do NOT know which one that I downloaded. I remember downloading and installing one of the T-Mobile stuff, then flashing a new WM6 ROM from this forum. My phone locks up every time AFTER I receive/make a phone call. I would like to go back to stock WM5. I have no idea how this works, but it appears that I am running the risk of bricking my device if I do it wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Following is the details of what I have.
During BOOT it shows
T-Mobile Logo
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08
GSM 2.25.11
OS 6.1.0.0
After boot,
About page says Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
Device Information page says,
ROM Version: 6.1.0.0 WWE
ROM Date: 1/16/08
Radio Version: 2.25.11
Protocol Version 4.1.13.12
Thanks,
JSenthil
no problem, just flash he original rom.
I have it, from mda t-mobile.
I think i have from cingular to, if you need it, let me know.
Isn't that I first have to downgrade my SPL/IPL to 2.xx in order for the original WM5 to work on my G3 wizard?
Can you please explain the steps involved? BTW, where can I find the original ROM, are you referring to the one that can be downloaded from the HTC website?
Thank you for your help,
JSenthil
Unfortunately I installed iPhone skin onto my Cingular 8125. I would like to revert process and get back my WM5, but I tried "hard reset" (Comm Mng + Voice buttons and poke reset with stylus) and nothing. Keeps going back to the iPhone skin. Few things do not work, still has scroll bar on side, connection and battery icons and no lock mode. Contact list feels like iPhone, but is not well developed, still has bugs and menus to la-la land.
Please help, I don't know much about WM5 or cell phones.
Thanks!
