I know I am probably the millionth person to ask for help but here goes. I installed the 2.17 ROM on my Cingular 8125 (yes I CID unlocked). I have seen others post that LEAP authentication is included in the 2.17. Perhaps I am missing something but I don't see it. I am trying to connect to a server that authenticates with LEAP (this uses a dynamic WEP). Is there any ROM update out there that has LEAP or is LEAP only a Cisco technology? I appreciate all the work you guys do!

Funny you mention that - I was just cracking open some of the cab files in the latest ROM and one of them appears to disable LEAP. Let me look into this more and get back to you. I don't use LEAP, so if I find something to try you'll have to let me know how it works out.
Leap?
What the hell is LEAP? or Dynamic WEP? Sounds like a Cisco proprietary wireless thing, I'm more into things like WPA w/ Radius Authentication, or WPA Pre Shared Key (PSK) for simple users. Before that, WEP 128 w/ MAC filtering as well on a private subnet then you'd vpn into the main network.
I'm not sure about any of the other ROMs, but I'm on the 2.17 / 2.23 AKU2.2 ROM that Summiter put out last Friday, and when I go into the Wireless Lan settings, there is a tab called "LEAP". I don't have anything to test that it works, but it looks like the option is there. Hope this helps in some way.
I am running Summiters 2.17 w/ CF2,AD2P,etc. and I also have a LEAP tab in my wifi settings. Likewise, I have no hardware to test if it works, but it's there.
Thanks for the feedback. I see no such tab. Perhaps I installed something incorrectly.
I recently updated my ROM to the custom AKU 2.2 that summiter released. I now have a LEAP tab in my "Wireless LAN" options. I am able to connect to the internet using the LEAP option. However, though the phone says I am connected via WiFi, I am unable to browse using Internet Explorer. I keep receiving an error message that says "Connection was lost" when clearly my connection is stable. Also, I get the same message when I try to connect to anything via WiFi (not just a LEAP authenticated server). Pehaps this goes back the the cab file issue summiter mentioned. Is anyone else experienceing WiFi issues with the new ROM?

1.40.00 with radio 1.12.00 (This was actually whay my device was shipped with. I chose the wrong version when downgrading from wm5.
Anyway, my problem is that with old version of 1.22 I was able to use the internet using t-mobiles proxy settings of 216.155.165.50 port 8080. I made the exact same changes to my settings in the upgraded OS but I cannot browse anywhere. The only thing I can do is use AIM on port 25 but want to be able to access the internet.
Any idea on what's going on? Because I don't want to downgrade again because I want to keep Media player 10 and have mp3 ringtones.
phone support!
Hi, I just phoned support (which is 2828 for t-mobile-Business customers don't know whats yours). And they just gave me some settings I had to make (including atwo letter password) and it worked out fine (sorry Ive not got my blueangel here by now, cause its in the IT-Dept for setup of "messaging and security services" for pushmail with Exchange 2003SP2 - so I can not tell you the settings from my mda and I also have not memorized them in a way to tell them from mind).
Actually I did NOT tell the support that I flashed anything, but told them that my settings got lost.
So I'm now using Ivans ROM with some additions from TuMa1.4 and still have GPRS-Internet-Connection. The Internetconnection through Active-Synch (for e.g. AvantGo) works as well (but the latter did also without asking support)
I have upgraded my active synch to the 4.2 beta and even that works better than ever.
So I can just recommend "ask support"
I tried asking support. As usual, instead they just said it cannot be done and that I would have to upgrade to the 29.99 package which I am definitely not doing. I really need to find those setting you received.
Do you need to use the proxy on T-Mobile? If you are getting AIM through then you have connectivity to the net. The only thing holding you back would be if they blocked port 80 outbound and forced you through a proxy. My Orange GPRS doesn't need one.
Have you checked the "programs connect to the internet / work using:" settings? AIM probably ignores them, so that might be an issue.
I am having a couple of problems, and I wanted to see if anyone can help me out.
First; I have a WRT54G Linksys router, and the only way to connect my MDA to it is by assigning it an IP addy, otherwise if I just try WPA it will say it's connecting but never really do it. The problem with it is that it moves very slow with the assigned IP addy. If I go to a hot spot at starbucks, or my friends wireless network, it works lighting fast and it connects without an issue. Any info?
The other question I have is that my NBF file is not working for this device to flash it to the new Cingular ROM. I currently runt he Mr. Clean ROM, but the signal strength was better with Cingular. I can load the old ROM from Cingular, but when I try to upgrade it says that I cannot use this NBF file with this device. Any info?
First, quick suggestions: Change the topic title to something more descriptive, you'll get more responses. It would also be a good idea to list each issue in a seperate topic.
For the Cingular Rom, what error are your getting? Mr Clean is based on the 2.24 T-Mo so Cingular's 2.25 should think it is newer..
results through learning...and listening...
I have finally fine tuned my device and it's doing all it's supposed to do!!!
Thanks to all the fellow techies in this forum. I could not have done it without help.
My problems were basically the ROM, and then trying different ones to see which one I liked. I learned through help how to change my splash screen, my radio, everything!! Thanks so much.
The other problem I was having was WiFi connectivity, which after reading lots of messages and postings, I got to work perfectly.
I can now connect at home, coffee shops, any network any time!!!
Thanks alot...W.
Hi there!
I have a t-mobile mda III for two months. It had the original latest rom released by t-mobile (TMUK 1.42 1.12 1.13.00). I tried to connect to my university's network with wlan, but i have to connect there by VPN too (Connections->My work network->VPN). It worked really good without any problem. But I downloaded the Helmi's wm5.0 rom and i upgraded it. My phone didn't work, so i downgraded back the official TMUK rom, but since that i can't connect to VPN. Everything else is okwith the pda, but i can't use the internet in the university (that connects to the network, but i can't use it without VPN). I think the upgrade and downgrade deleted or changed something in registry or something, i don't know, so please help me!!!!
Really thanks!
It won't be the registry, as the hard resets during the upgrade/downgrade should zap the registry.
VPN has a million things that can go wrong. Access to the server logs would likely point you in the correct direction. I actually gave up on the ipsec/l2tp implementation and switched to using OpenVPN. Far easier to set up, but probably not much use to you as you are limited to what the uni has.
Really thanks for OpenVPN, but i can't use this. I don't know how to use this exactly. In the uni is PPTP vpn, not IPSec, so could you give me some advice about programs to use it.
THX
Personally, I use a Linux server and this page (and others on the site) has been invaluable:
http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/openswan-pocketpc.html
The built-in client on the PPC supports L2TP/IPsec and PPTP. OpenVPN is completely different and incompatible with either. This page contains info on all of the varieties of VPN:
http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/linux-vpn.php
As you are using PPTP, you should be able to follow guidelines for OpenSWAN, as I believe it supports PPTP. The first link I posted has info for the pocket pc.
These pages should help you out somewhat. I'd recommend setting it up on a desktop first as you will be able to see the client logs. Once you get it working, you may have figured out something specific to your university that you need to set.
I updated to Faria's AKU 3.2 and loved it........I do mean loved it! Then I started missing the calls and voicemails. I pressed on and reflashed everything............started missing calls again. I had so fell in love with the rom and the internet share. I finally with much regret had to go back to the 2.3. I miss the "Internet Share" feature that was on the 3.2. I am have to use my phone on my laptop quiet a good bit and you can understand how depressing this has been. I sure wish we had a working 3.2 or 2.3 with internet sharing. I know Faria's coming out with something.....praying and hoping in Cingular land.
yea that was a super cool feature.
Tomcat,
The 2.3/2.6 Roms have the same program. It is called something different in those ROMS, but still allows you to connect your phone to your PDA. The only difference between the two is that the 2.3/2.6 ROMS allow USB or IR connections while the 3.x+ roms add Bluetooth as an option.

now that i know what causes the phone to fail [a specific file] i have made some changes to aku3 roms,but i got no time to release yet.
The program is called "Modem Link" I just build a new media center pc and I didn't have any way of connecting it to the net so I was using that and it worked like a charm. I connected it through the USB, used this driver http://www.pdagold.com/files/articles/en/0000000269_HCxN12752.zip
Oh and Faria glad to hear your on top of the missed call issue, that and those cool looking crossbow icons are 2 things I'm really looking forward to, Godspeed
It's just not the same
Yes, I used the modem link before going to faria 3.2 and I have gone back to it now, but the two are not even in the same ballpark. With the "internet share" all I had to do was simply plug in my phone and bam! With the "modem link", I have to make sure my phone is now hooked to the internet (I have direct push activated). if I don't do this, it might take longer for the "link" to happen. I then have to dial in with the modem.....blah...blah....blah! As stated once you haave experienced the "internet share".................WOW!
True enough, it's a world of difference, I wonder how hard it would be to port internet share to AKU 2.3? actually scratch that, that's time better spent working on getting 3.2 working perfectly.
Modem Link and Internet Sharing both have their advantages and disadvantages. Please read the AKU3 Networking Bible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282780 - in there, I'ce explained EVERYTHING about all these issues. (And please DO follow my articles... I post them all to the General forum on purpose - so that they are read and people profit from them. Keep an eye on the General forum.)

i have an old HTC 8125 (G4 from what i understand based on the threads here) that i'm looking to use as an XBMC remote and nothing else. No phone or anything of that like is needed or enabled. The remote app needs a WiFi connection to work, which normally shouldnt be an issue. However, the default WM5 doesnt support WPA2 + AES. After googling this issue i read that it is possible to get this support via WM6.
Am i way off base here or am i on the right track? Also if i am on the right track what would be the ideal ROM to use for something like this?
I'm sure obvious answers would be to change the WPA2/AES on the router but that snowballs into other issues for me, so trying this route first may actually be faster.
Thanks in advance
Ham3r's H3r5 is a WM 6.1 with good apps but no fancy home screen. It works with WPA2 and AES: that's what I use at home. You can add a home screen but it sounds like you want something simple.
