Smells like Cingular is coming out with new ROM! - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060613/nytu118.html?.v=56
Cingular customers that already have deployed Cingular 8100 Series or Cingular 2125 devices can download the MSFP software update for free from www.cingular.com/microsoft starting on June 19.
Was posted in the Cingular forum by Gadget Ollie.

The cingular reps at the TechEd booth also are stating next Monday as the release date. It is the #1 question they are getting. (besides when will you have the MotoQ).

Still no mention of A2DP? Deception, any clues?

Or better yet any leaks of the new firmware.

A2DP can always be installed later on using the cab file. The real question is whether it is AKU2.2 or AKU 2.3. I'll bet it will be the same version that leaked here (2.25).

Tell me about it. Or for my Canadian friends, "tell me aboodit".
I'm already looking to build an AKU 2.5 ROM...can't imagine why, 6 months after AKU 2.3 was built by MS, Cingular can't catch up.
So, it looks like we'll see a long delayed release based on a 7 month old OS version and potential radio and connection freakiness. Awesome.
Hey Summiter,
Is the version they are about to release the same one that you called ****ty a couple weeks ago?

Is it naive to give Cingular the benefit of the doubt and they addressed some of the bugs that you found before they officially release it? Would not the version that was leaked be more in line with a beta release? I appreciate the work you have done but why denigrate others?
I have a very, very strong feeling that the bugs have not been addressed.

Purely speculation.
I had thought about upgrading using one of the ROMS already out here. When my device crashed and had to be sent in due to a hardware issue I was very happy that I did not. Clearly I would not have been happy with a $400 paperweight.
Additionally I have one comment regarding request for help. I have PMed you before Summiter asking for help. Though there may be answers as to how to install, what to install and in what order, this is not easily determined. That is the main reason I have not used these upgrades. I've read if I had a problem that I could downgrade but with all the confusion I did not bother. I'm not above searching to look for answers but this is a big deal. And I know you are busy but I for one would be real appreciative if the next ROM that you post includes step by step instructions you will really help many like myself.
help?
Navec245,
People are willing to help here. But if you were not willing to spend time doing your own research in the forum, other people would not be able to help you much.

Naw, not naive, go for it.
I based my comments on the possiblity that what gets released tomorrow will be identical to the leaked 2.25 ROM. I came to that conclusion because, although the file being linked to atm is an incomplete archive, the screenshot indicates the same ROM, radio, protocol, extended ROM, and build date as the wonky leaked AKU 2.2 version. What's there now could very well be a placeholder for the real release tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't denigrating anyone. I stated a rhetorical non-question to postulate my personal preliminary hypothesis post-haste.
All these big words have made me hungry. I'm gonna go make a Pb&j sandwich.
Well ... Cingular dropped the ball ..... BUT THE MIAMI HEAT DIDN'T DROP THEIR'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry ...

IS there an issue with the 2.23 AKU where its keeps losing cell and edge signal for a period, even while not in a call? I even have loaded the new Radio rom

Blame it on Cingular. MS just releases the OS, and then HTC and the carries write the drivers and radio stacks for their devices. It could be worse. Look and the Motorola Q that just came out; it has no MSFT at all and how long it has been since MS released it? In that case Verizon/Motorola are draging their feet. BTW, your 2.3 ROM rocks and I bet 2.5 will be even better.
Hopefully it shouldn't be to long before someone at HTC America realizes they posted a corrupt file When Cingular gets loads of phone calls complaining! Its currently only 08.25am in New York
I just shot them an email about it. Usually they respond pretty quickly.
Slimsaturn,
Cingular has been experiencing signal power fluctuations since late Jan.-early Feb. Their acknowledgement of this issue also fluctuates from full disclosure to total denial???? They originally stated that it was in 29 markets including S. Fla. and were very forthcoming with account credits. Then they(multiple c.s. reps) were in full denial blaming everything else possible including the four different lines of service I have with them. Recently, they again acknowledged the issue and said they still cannot figure out what is causing the fluctuations and gave me a 50% credit.
The funny thing is the problem was brought on by something they changed/upgraded. It was like a switch was thrown and my signal strength that was usually full at home, work, and points between varies from FULL to NONE in a matter of seconds on all four different numbers. I have lossed/dropped atleast five calls while on the phone with their techs to help my cause. Their range of acknowledgement must be from directives they receive. I mentioned this to the last rep. and she was extremely apologetic, but would not explain why they keep changing their story.
file size changed : 7:53am CDT
Anyone notice that the file size has now changed to 52.3MB? HTC's upgrade page is about useless - how do you know whether or not this is the new ROM? The file name looks like it's still the old one...
RUU_Wizard_1081101_1.....
I am still getting offered the 39 mb file. Must be through different servers????
Odd. I just tried it again and now I too see the 39MB file. Perhaps I was looking at a cached copy of the web page from last week....
Just FYI -
The bad file is:
25111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
39.0 MB (40,947,200 bytes)
It downloads fine, but fails when unpacking, with the following message:
"The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again."
Hope they figure out their problem soon!

Best For K-JAM Used on T-Mobile

Ok Guys, I'm itchin' to do an upgrade, but with all the options out there, what do you think would be my best bet. I'm a T-Mobile USA user who has a K-JAM, and would like the flexibility to go from my AKU 2 Club Imate release to an AKU 2.2 or higher version and still be able to downgrade (if possible). T-Mobile IM would be nice, but I have the cabs already so it's not a must. .net CF 2 would also be cool.
What would you recommend? What should I stay away from?
Thanks!

Cingular 2.26 ROM

Not sure if anyone is interested but I created a ROM using a bare T-Mobile 2.26 with the complete Extended ROM from the Cingular 2.25. This is for unlocked G3 type phones ONLY as it has the 2.26 IPL/SPL embedded.
This was my very first attempt at cooking a ROM and it didn't turn out bad if you need a truely Cingular looking phone. Actually I can't tell the difference except it's much faster than the stock 2.25.
This has no customizations included and was for fun only. I've been running it today with no problems. Being as that I don't need GoodLink email or other such Cingular stuff I'll be flashing tomorrow to something different. (but that's me ...)
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Other_Unknown/Cingular_RUU_Wizard_2.26
I forgot to include the .rar extension when I UL'ed to the FTP, sorry! ( DUH! )
thank you. I've been using the 2,265 for some time now. it looks like these newer roms seem to be faster and better performance wise.
so this is a basic rom with cingular customizations? I'm deciding on either trying this out,the aku 2.3 beta by shogun or waiting for the next aku 3.2 release.
just wondering. will we see any official cingular/htc releases or have they abandoned the wizard?
If on a Cingular network I'm kinda partial to the shogunmark ROM. For a beta it's worked out pretty well and I'm going back to it today probably.
The 3.2 is a work in progress, not ready for primetime IMO.
This ROM I threw together is for those that need all the Cingular stuff that come on the stock phone. It's got the Cingular Splash Screen, complete Cingular Extended ROM and that's it. It's near impossible to tell that it's not the stock ROM unless you purposely look at the device info. I was simply addressing an extremely small (if existent at all) need for such a critter and to have a little fun.
Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I am going to load this today.
Keep up the good work. :lol:
bout time you put that out..
Wow! If only one person benefits from this ROM I'm tickled!
Good luck!

All those union breaks I guess! And it actually turned out nice, quite quick in stock mode without molski's speed and performance tweaks... actually never got around to installing any reg hacks as I was happy with it the way it performed. Back to your ROM now though as I don't need all that Cingular stuff ... with my enhancements added in of course !
Will this rom work on the qtek 1010?
I wouldn't thinks so, being that that you're referring to a Wallaby I believe.
Sorry!
Would you happen to know how to get cingular to work on my Wallaby?

Sounds like you might need to unlock it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=1190&highlight=unlock
I believe that you need to change over to the Wallaby upgrading etc. instead of looking in this Forum. From a 5 minute search there it would appear that the Wallaby working on the Cingular network would require you having 1900 MHZ coverage rather than the typical 850 MHZ which I don't believe that the Wallaby supports. I'm not a Wallaby owner however and claim no knowledge of the device nor do I really care to learn.
The subject I posted here was Cingular 2.26 ROM. It is for Wizards only. If you happened to be able to flash it to your device I'm sure it would cease to exist as a usable device. If your question is regarding the Wallaby operating on the Cingular network you're in the wrong place.
Sorry and good luck!
Thank you for the info, but I decided to sell it to someone in Europe. But thaks for the help
What is in ext rom? I dunno cingular rom...
If you dunno you dunneed!
(Trust me !)
in the beta versionn, the voice dial button locked the phone. in this one does the voice dial button really do voice dial???
This is the standard Cingular Extended ROM - no more and no less
going 2.26.. can't go back?
i'm trying to figure out if I have gone to 2.26, if I can go back?

Back to what? My psychic advisor is on vacation...
Actually if you CID unlocked you can install whatever ROM you want. Typically you have to downgrade to the 1.05 ROM to the downgrade to another ROM lower than the 2.226, say the 2.24.
But you really should get into the habit of including all information about your ROM when you ask questions here.

Wizard/Cingular WM6 Qestion

I hear all the talk about WM6 upgrade that will probally be released by cingular officaly for the 8525 only not the 8125 (Wizard)
I also have heard that the T-Mobile is plaining to release a WM6 update for their verision of the Wizard (MDA I beleive). Is it possible to run the T-Mobile upgrade once it release on a Cingular 8125 and still uses the cingular network.
Basicly flash my cingular 8125 with the MDA upgrade and still use cingular to make calls.
T-Mobile is going to upgrade to WM6 on their Dash from what i know, i doubt they will upgrade the Wizard...but if they do, then if your device(8125) is CID unlocked, then sure u can flash it....
Same kind of issue
Hey Malik...ok, i have a MDA (tmobile) and after my friend saw my SNN rom on my phone, she wants it on her AT&T wizard...question is this: so if I can flash the same rom to her phone, will i need a different program for the base rom? basically wanna know where i can find the radio and such for AT&T instead of tmobile..please advise....
thanks/...
zthegreat
Always check the date of the post and thread,then post a question or answer.You are asking to a post almost two years old.
Ok,now to your question,All the wizard devices are the same in feature,Hardware and work on windows mobile.They are all manufactured by HTC for different vendors,so in fact they all are the same,YES! you can flash any rom to any wizard device,regardless of being it from T-mobile,AT&TT,O2 or i-mate.Basic Rom is the same for all the devices ,i.e windows mobile from Microsoft.The procedure/program will be the same as you did for your T-mobile MDA.
NOUP
its truth!!!!!!!
hahahahaha I got the same here !!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahaha
how are you zabardast?
Thanks!
I'm pretty fine,how you doing Buddy ?
DUM DUM!!!
WOW.. two years??? Ok, my bad guys for looking like an a$$ on here!! lmao!! thanks man, i just needed to know if there was anything else i needed to download to take care of her phone... got it...
thanks again ....

In case you come back through...
how bout this: do you have any fave roms? I have tried TNT, Faria, Crossbow, airfagev (or something0 and SNN.. so far i like the SNN ... have any other good ones in mind WITH touchflo?
thanks again....
"the dum dum"

Really fine men! swiming trough this crisis on my country but fine thanks.

O2 Stellar Update

I emailed O2 about a ROM update for the stellar, as my Device Information currently states:
ROM version: 1.82.206.1 WWE
ROM date: 10/04/07
Radio Version 1.27.12.32
They replied with:
Good Morning Dave,
Thank you for your email
O2 are currently in test with the new ROM for the Stellar which will be WM 6.1. This should be released in the next month or so. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with a specific date for when it will be placed on your website for download due to confidentiality.
Kind Regards

Is it worth upgrading for WM6.1? There seem to be differing opinions on the HTC ROM upgrade.
The O2 ROMs seem to be quite good and most complaints are due to the disappointment of the updates not including decent graphics drivers.
I will most likely upgrade mine.

oh! next month or so..this is great news! finally 6.1 for my bottle of ...ehem, for my o2 stella.
This is great, I've been on their site at least 2 times a week for the past month searching to see if they have brought out an update.
Well it's now July...anyone got any more news on this? I too keep checking the O2 software updates website. I have also tried emailing them but they didn't respond to me.
Just last week there was a flurry of Vodafone and T-Mobile updates for their branded kaisers, so I'd expect something v. soon.
As far as 6.1 goes, it's very good IMO, although some of us have experienced poor GPS performance on first fix.
Just had a look on their site and it's available to download.
Downloading now and will update later. Hopefully it'll work ok.

if you can wait till friday (or no1 does it first) I will download it and set it up as a torrent from my house at Uni as i have 1mb upload there n only like 128k at home.
sure thing pal, although I hope for someone to show me mercy on that bit quicker...
thanks for quick reply and see You in this thread.

I'll try this later tonight - I presume that with a rom upgrade all installed programs will be wiped. Whats the best way to save the programs so that I don't have to go through installing them again (if thats possible)

Indeed...everything is wiped and all the data too.
I used SPB Backup which worked well in the end. I made a few mistakes during the restore process that made it much more of a time consuming headache than it should have been but I think I got back to where I want to be. Ringtone assignments and contact picture assignments were not restored but that may have been my error rather than the fault of the software.
I have a question though...next to the O2 task manager bubble at the bottom of the today screen is a new flashing icon that looks a bit like a Bluetooth symbol...anyone have any ideas what this is? I have tried clicking on it but nothing happens.
Also, apart from the threaded SMS (which I am excited about having gone from a Treo 650 to the Stellar), what other delights does WM 6.1 provide?!

I like the zooming in Internet Explorer but have you tried the GPS since 'upgrading'. What radio code does O2 offer with the update - is it the same radio as mine (in my sig)?
