hi, im new on here and new to upgrading these phones i have a Cingular 8125. so far ive upgraded to the newest cingular rom (2.25.11.1 WWE) I would like to upgrade to one of the newer 3.x roms but still keep it stable and be able to use most programs. i also need to SIM and CID unlock my phone still so any help on that process would be appreciated too. ive looked on here quite a bit and it seems like there are a lot of conflicting issues about SIM AND CID unlcking phones that have IPL/SPL 2.xx (i have 2.25 for both) again...any help on any of the subjects is greatly apprciated!! Thanks in advance,
Corey
::edit:: also ive read about haveing to install cingular settings to get the MMS/SMS to work correctly again. is that for all ROM upgrades other than shipped ROMs? and if it is needed, where can i find it?
sorry for all the questions, im just trying to do this right as a noobie ;-)
wow...
wow.... 122 veiws so far and not single comment :-/ not even to flame the noobie for not noticing the CID/SIM unlock instructions untill immediatly after he posted the thread. ohwell, i will persevere
ive tried them all, but the one that's the most stable so far is Molski's 1st Edition 3.0.0.0 AKU3.2 Rom, in fact its lasted the longest of all the roms I've installed so far. I hope that helps

People are being nice!
As a noob....instead of asking.....read! If you READ through the threads, you'll notice different people have different experiences with the same ROM. What's stable for me may not be stable for you.
All the roms you may be interested in are all clean roms which means you have to install your carrier settings......do you know what they are? Start with this and until then.....stay with your factory rom............
thanks guys. the CIS/SIM unlock was an oversight on my part, but i figured i would ask since no matter waht ROM it is it seems that a few people have certain issues with it and i was hopeing to kind of get a feeling for which one most of the people are happiest with. i have a .CAB with the carrier settings in it. another option that im thinking about is just waiting untill crossbow is out and seeing if cingular puts it on the 8125 so that i can get it as a OEM rom. I am most likely not going to be doing all the things that you guys are with the wizards, but i am interested in keeping it updated with the best ROM and radio ROM and being able to personalize it. i hate haveing the same thing as everyone else...
::EDIT:: and i've been reading for the last 5 days lol. TMI to digest all at once on here
I agree with Dr P. This is the longest I have stayed with a ROM The Molski 3.0.0.0 very stable.

Okay - now I'll ask you a ? - How do you have a cab of your carrier settings. I would love that.
Concur Molski 3.0 but replace the radio to 2.19 rom to resolve the missed call/frozen buttons issues. Then it's near perfect but for a few apps that need to be resolved by their developers

For Cingular download the P_Conn_CWS_APR12_Wizard and rename to zip to cab.
<hint> Keep this on your SC !
thanks for the opinions guys, and thanks for posting that for me doc, my computer has been down for a few days and i couldnt get the file off to send him. im just trying to decide now if i want to use that rom or wait untill the WM6 WWE rom is available..seems like it should be pretty soon.

In what way is the 1st edition AKU 3.2 more stable than the latest AKU 3.3 that faria just released?
11/26/07 update:
I've placed the project on hold for a while. I've been too busy to work on it and so instead, I'm working on an optimized ROM for my Wing. I might end up just using that ROM as the base ROM. It's based on the Touch-IT.
Update: Still working on release v0.4. So far, so good. No bugs found, yet.
Success! Tested AND Working flashed on my Wing!!!
Here it is! Version 0.3
All the passwords are: "ding"
Step one:
Download the Kitchen files:
Save them somewhere, say a folder called "Ivan's Kitchen."
Step two:
Download the OEM and SYS folders:
Dump them into the Working_Folder within the EasyBakeOven folder that you extracted on the first step.
Step three:
Download the ROM folder and follow the same instructions as step two.
Step four:
Download the Packages into the OEM folder.
Step five:
Run the RunMe file. Choose if you want the BioTouch. Choose if you want Office. Check what programs you want. Click on the little green "play" button. When it says "Done." at the bottom, close that window and follow the prompts.
This is a BuildOS kitchen. Download the packages and just double click on the batch file I made you.
Make sure you have enough harddrive space... I tried it on my laptop and I kept getting REALLY small os.nb files. lol
Now I just need someone to make me some good atwork... or I can make one myself.
BUGS Fixed:
V0.3
Camera Packages - Removed the camera packages and restored the original camera.
CommManager Packages - Updated their registry to reflect the Herald's wifi.
Removed Touchflo ghost icon. It was a mistake from my end. It's an icon pointing to nothing.
V0.2
Too many to fix... Just ignore the fact that V0.1 ever happened...
If upgrading from the previous version:
Download these files and the file attached and overwrite the current set. Delete the two camera folders under the OEM folder.
If not, download the whole thing again.
If you downloaded the original broken Alpha release: Trash it. Download the newest one. That one had more holes that swiss cheese.
Bugs found and how to fix them.
I missed an extra file when I updated the camera fix. I'll fix it on the next release. For now just delete the file "Camera.lnk" from the OEM\OEMAPPS folder.
11/19/07 - Nevermind, I completely broke the camera again. I'll have it fixed soon. I'll have to look through the original ROM and find the missing files.
V0.4 Coming Soon!
Changes so far:
Fix extra camera.lnk
Set packages needed for a basic working ROM to be selected by default.
More packages!!
Thank you's goes to:
God for giving me the patience to work on this.
ITJE for his base ROM
LordPhong for his Touch-IT fixes
mattk_r for inspiring me with his kitchen and for most of the packages
Warning:
Any damages caused by your ROM to your phone is solely your resposibility. The chances of you really bricking your phone are slim to none. As long as it's a WING. I haven't tested this on anything else.
Also, if you have a 64bit OS: Don't even try to use the flashing tool. It will not work.
Packages and Screenshots
This kitchen's base ROM builds a 12mb pagepool.
You'll have to use the pagepool changer to get it to your liking.
I'll be listing all packages in a few hours.
Here are a few screenshots.

good ish, looking forward to it. One question, for the programs and tweaks, are you just going to include the most popular, or can requests/suggestions be made?
oh yes. very anticipated. This has the ability to JUST add biotouch, that is, without the cube? If so, mad props to you.
Also, two questions
1. Will I be able to change the base rom?
2. Can I get it to spit out the .nbh file from the RUU? Just for us CID-unlocked people?

I'm still working on the possibility of seperating.... we'll see...
As far as your questions go:
1. Yes.... BUT, you will have to STRIP the ROM down in order to avoid errors from the kitchen. (Not as hard as it sounds, mostly just searching for the duplicate files that the kitchen throws an error out for. Just time consuming.)
The base ROM is just that. Basic as can possibly be. If you want a newer version of the OS and are up to stripping down that ROM for my kitchen, I'll add it here without a problem. This is more of a collection of works from all parts of this community, so if anyone wants to add packages to the lot, porting over newer versions of wm6 or whatever it may be (like art work,) they're more than welcomed to.
Does it go "ding" when it's done?

Great work! Can't wait till its online.
The perfect solution for "cooking" your own Rom without the diffult (but most of all time consuming) proces of getting into Hypercore kitchen. Finally within the reach of my limited sparetime.
You could try to contact Itje about the differences between Wing and Herald?
Keep us posted on the proceedings!
Good Work!
Just one question.
Does it allow us to change the language?

I've being trying to PM every herald cook that I know of for a few weeks now, to no avail. No one has responded.
This sounds like a very, very good thing. I've been wanting something like this since I started playing with different ROMs.
very nice. morphgear?
nice work cant wait. have a question i have morphgear(nes emulator) and i actually paid for it. i was wondering since its an execution file can that be converted into a oem package for my own use with this kitchen?

Hello there,
Great forum you guys have here.
I will be receiving my Diamond on Thursday from Orange. I have some questions and would be very grateful for your help and advice. I have looked across the site for answers but there's so much info it's difficult to know where to start!
Firstly, I understand I may need to flash the ROM to improve speed. Speed is very important to me and so should I need to do this, what ROM would you recommend - something simple, offering a good balance between memory consumption and speed please. Does the official HTC update help at all?
Secondly, what do I need to do to preserve the original ROM, just in case I need to get it back in order to return the phone.
Thirdly, can you provide me with a link that clearly explains the process of updating the ROM as i've never done anything like this before.
If there's anything else i've missed (such as settings changes - I know I should get rid of the Orange homepage in favour of HTC's for instance), please tell me - i'm eager to have my Diamond adequately set-up ASAP.
Thanks for your time & patience,
S.
well i got my diamond from orange a few weeks ago and i would like to know the same. The one thing i can tell you that it comes with rom 1.37 WWE and not the orange version which I thought was weird, the quick start book even shows the diamond with the orange rom. So if your the safe then you wont get a rom ruined by orange
Excellent, I hope the Diamond I receive is the same. I hate Orange extensions!
check out http://www.modmydiamond.info
Very useful site.
Thank you! Seems like a useful site...
Can anyone suggest what ROM to go for or a guide that details/reviews ROMS?
Thanks,
S
read , read & then read some more.
there are way too many ROMS to recommend.
workout what you wnat from a ROM then go find it.
i now this attitude sounds a bit tough but in the end you will gain invaluable knowledge about your phone along the way

I have to agree!
I was once a newb to WinMob (only about a month ago) and I hadn't a clue... I read, read and read and now I up updating roms, radios and installing apps like a good thing!
My own personal preference for a ROM is SwiftBL 5.6 - its super slick and includes loads of apps like GSen, Advanced Config, etc.... very nice app! You'll find it in the ROMs secion!
Enjor your phone!
DG
right o
if you go to the official HTC site you will get a download to the newest official htc rom 1.93 i think which will improve the phone speed no end - it is also easy to install (follow instructions on site). just make sure you backup everything first!
trust me it turned my phone from unusable to a godsend! and its official rom
Thanks for the replies. I will attempt reading the wealth of info available on this site, but i'm swept off my feet with work at the moment. So any concise info from you guys will really help me to get my diamond running well ASAP during this busy time. I have however read the guides on how to install the ROM at least and will get stuck in properly when things calm down.
Would you say that the latest official HTC ROM is faster than swift 6.0?
Thanks again,
S.

But you cannot download from HTC if you have an operator supplied device.
Oh! Damn. Oh well, I guess it's gonna have to be Swift or another ROM then...
Hello all, first off this is the absolute BEST PDA forum around. And Ive found just about all information I need. I JUST NOW successfully HardSPLed my device! W00T! Ive looked around and cant answer my last question though, I want to use a rom that is a WM6.1 bc I want threaded text, ive currently got wm6 on my T-Mo Wing (Herald) or whatever you guys like to call it lol. Do I need to do anything before flashing the WM6.1 Rom? Any suggestions on what Rom to use? I really like the idea of touch flo! Any help is appreciated!
Okay, Sir.
First off all you should know that I'm kinda new to the XDA scene as well but I've manage to flash my device right at the first attempt. What you have to do is following:
1. HardSPL your device
2. Check bootloader if process was successful
3. Get the RUU and put your *.nbh into the RUU folder (Image)
4. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the steps
That's it. Be sure to be ActiveSynced all the time!
Oh and for the ROM request: I can strongly suggest OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D - a pretty nice ROM imho.
If there are any questions left don't hesitate to ask
Cheers
i'll recommend the easier flash method, as long as you have a microSD card. you can download any rom image your wish to flash, and place it in the root directory of the sd card as HERAIMG.nbh (i beilieve. look it up, i haven't flashed in a while). just hold the camera button down as you turn on the device, and it'll load into bootloader mode. from there, just follow the instructions.
while opentouch and many other roms that already have many programs are nice, i always recommend the exact opposite. the best and fastest rom i have ever used is just2clean. it has tons of free memory left, and just the basics pre-installed. makes a great base to install just what you want, and easily be able to remove what you don't.
Awesome. Thank you both for the info! I think im gonna go with OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D. Ive seen youtube vids on it and it looks appealing.... Thanks again... Going to update as soon as i get off work =P. Will post if i have any problems. But maybe ill ask a last question, will OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D leave me much space left over after the flash?
Around 30MB afaik. If you need more space for apps etc. try the JustMe ROM with up to 70MB of free storage.
Cheers
Ok so i couldnt actually find the download link to 7.7, like i click on the 7.7 link in his sig, but couldnt actually fond the download. but i read clear thru the forum and found V7.3..... Successful install...Now I think im gonna try his windows vista beta. Thanks for the help!
Well, have fun at reflashing Here are the links to build V7.7
Click
Lol im d/l it now. Got sent home from work bc of power failur... yay. But where did u find the link? i looked ALL over lastnight. The Touch IT Vista Beta worked well but i was really wanting this Open Touch 7.7 so im flashing again! Once again thanks... See ya on the other threads!
It's there at the very bottom.
Mirrors:
This mirror pretty much has all roms from version 7.0 - 7.7 which is the most current.
Provided by coburn_c
Version 7.7 has been added and is in a folder called Version 7.7.

MS My Phone causing problems
This might be slightly off topic, but I didn't want to create a new thread for it and it is pertaining to rom development. I've had serious problems recently with multiple roms. I've installed about 4 roms in 3 days and with many i've lost my entire text message database from a soft reset. I've also reset the phone to find my email accoutns have been erased and my text messages were not sending.
I'm narrowed this down to using the MS My Phone service to restore information. This time round I used an old backup using PIM manager from my storage card and things seem to be back to normal (I hope).
Just curious, has anyone experience problems using MS My Phone? I like using it, but it now seems like a virus that if I use it, can corrupt my phone and cause me to have to reflash.
Opinions appreciated,
BANE

are you flashing sense 2.5 roms? with htc messaging app? it suffers major problems when restoring alot of sms.
also, i have had no problems restoring stuff with Myphone BUT i never restore sms (honestly i dont really get the point of archiving sms, i clean them all everytime i flash). maybe it can help

mmh oookay but i think you will run into trouble cooking paid software into a rom. in the end you can call it warez and warez here is prohibited
Thanks for the reply.
I have been yes. Currently running Xannys 2.5 without Htc messaging as I can't stand the sluggish speed of HTC messaging.
I know my last big problem occurred without the sms restore (just contacts and tasks) and to be honest, I'm a little scared to try and restore anything from My Phone incase it effects my phone adversely again. I've been constantly fixing and using a phone which was unreliable because of this for about a week now, so I kind of want to get back to some stability before I experiment again.
I'll keep everyone posted on my findings.

okay, but i try it one time without paid software,

Could be anything really... a missing package, wrong settings in the registry. Pretty much impossible to say. Which kitchen are you using? Can you provide a build log (the bunch of messages the kitchen spurts out when building the ROM)?
thanks

Just copy all the messages it throws out during ROM creation, put it in a txt file and attach it to a post. Without that, it's really hard to give you any tips...
