Problems with WiFi (QTEK 9100) - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hi,
Ever since upgrading to 2.17 (official QTEK version) I can no longer get a stable WiFi connection - I get poor signal displayed even though I am next to the AP and it can take anything from 5 to 20 attempts to get connected.
The 9100 came with 1.6.7 installed which not perfect more or less connected first time, but I hoped the later ROMs would fix some other stability problems.
I have tried AKU 2.3 and I still get the same issues (plus I miss the battery indicator in the top bar).
Also, I cannot get back to 1.6.7 (I managed to get the OS back to it but the other 2 were stuck at 2.4) as every time I try I get vendor ID is wrong.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Taomyn

I have the same problem, but even worse. I see the network after connecting it says it is connected but I cannot browse or do anything on the "socalled Internet" DHCP says that it found an adress in my case at home 192.168.1.33.
I am not sure if an upgrade would help.
My wifi version is 01.04.10
I am looking for any idea too.

Just an update, though the problem remains.
I have downgraded the OS to 2.17 as it seems better than the later ones posted and is at least a QTEK one.
Still hit and miss with the WiFi
Does anyone know if there are any later QTEK ROMS available?

search this forum to find a solution to downgrade the rom version to 1.x then do CID unlock using aWizard.
or you should try upgrade to cingular 2.25WWE rom to see if there is any improvement.

I did try various of the downgrade tips but none seemed to work even though I've got a G3, so hopefully the LokiWiz will be updated soon to work on v2 ROMS.
The Cingular 2.25 ROM didn't work very well either and I hated the extra rubbish it comes with. The radio ROM I happen to be using was from that same one.
I suppose I could go for the 2.25 OS but not the Extension - would that leave behind the Cingular crap?

I now run 2.25rom without its original Extrom. It works perfect for me.

Thanks. I have now loaded the following but with the QTEK 2.17 Extension ROM:
IPL: 2.24
SPL: 2.24
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.25.11.1
I will have to wait until tonight to try the wireless at home.
One thing I've noticed is that I don't have a battery indicator at all now, neither in the Today window or the bar at the top. I'll dig around more to see why this has happened.

it looks a little strange that you have a 2.25OS with 2.24IPL/SPL. :?
you could put a bat. icon on task bar by running Windows\Init_Tray.exe

Ok so I still can't get WiFi working :-( but at least I've sorted the the battery indicator out (thanks to a reg tweak for AKU2.2)
Which leads me to this AKU stuff. I keep reading about 2.3 but I'm not sure if this is an official release or something that someone has put together. I'm willing to give it a try but not if it's just 2.2 with some tweaks or something like that.
Can anyone shed some light on the AKU releases? Mine definitely says 2.2 at the moment.
Oh and can I simply create an upgrade file with just the 2.3 OS file in it?
TIA

Ok, my WiFi is still borked, it sees AP's all over the place but the ones I know it should connect to the phone just will not lock on to - it tries for a few seconds then simply says "Unavailable".
Currently I have on the phone a combination of:
IPL: 2.24
SPL: 2.24
GSM: 02.25.11
OS:2.24.10.1 WWE
Protocol: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM: 2.17.7.102
WM5 5.1.95 (14955.2.3.0)
I've actually tried what should have been a later OS, 2.25, but the AKU was 2.2 and the copyright message shows 2005 where as this one is AKU 2.3 with 2006 displayed.
I'm thinking now that perhaps the Extended ROM which is from the latest QTEK build I could find. Can anyone suggest a good replacement for it that doesn't have a load of baggage and only useful customisations?
As a last resort I'd like to try downgrading back to full 1.x ROM (QTEK 1.6.7 I think) but as I understand it this may not be possible. If it can be done, can anyone point me in the right direction i.e. which downgrade ROM to try? Yes, I have gone through this forum but it's almost "information overload" and very confusing,
TIA

if you update to shipped Cingular 2.25WWE rom, you can bypass all the extrom and see if wifi works normal (before you install other apps.)
Mine is ok.
the AKU2.3 one is a custom test rom which may cause slightly unstable.
while this still doesn't work, i think there's no means except sending your device back for checkup and repair.

Thanks, but how do I "bypass all the extrom"? Is there a clean extrom I can use with it?

Ok, I'm making progress.
I followed the instructions for downgrading, which although says it won't work for 2.21 or above, sort of does.
I downgraded to the custom 1.5.4 which succeeded but left SPL still at 2.24 but everything else had changed. I then ran the LokiWiz v0.2b and that seemed to succeed too at least there were no errors.
I then tested WiFi and it locked and connected first time - yay!!
Next I have taken the 1.6.7 QTEK ROM (which the phone originally had) and when that finished both IPL/SPL were downgraded to v1.x - WiFi still working.
At least now I know that WiFi is not borked but it's some strange ROM issue.
I'm going to try QTEK's 2.17 ROM and see what happens - at least I know I can get back to 1.x if it still doesn't work.
This is fun - not!!

after the RUU completed and restart automatically, after those init setting you must follow(eg. align screen, select time zone, etc.), at the moment when u see "customize within 3 seconds", poke the reset hole as quick as you can. Then you Bypass the extrom installation.

Thanks - you are being a great help, it's much appreciated.
I went back to 1.6.7 then added the Cingular 2.25 OS ROM but with the QTEK 2.17 extended ROM. What a mixture that is! WiFi would not work. I then hard reset and used your bypass technique - WiFi now works.
It seems that an extended ROM application is screwing up WiFi so I need to get everything up to the latest and greatest, bypass the extended ROM then one by one run them to see which is the culprit.
The plot thickens......

Well it looks like *any* v2 ROM screws up the WiFi on my phone and I have no idea why :x I have tried various combinations of ROM parts (proving the phone is most definitely CID unlocked :wink: ) and I either have no WiFi or some which progressively gets worse as time goes on to the point it stops connecting again.
I'm back to the original 1.6.7 QTEK WWE shipped ROM and WiFi works flawlessly but I'm now missing all the nice tweaks of v2 and I'm sure my BT headset doesn't work as well as before.
Maybe the next release will be better :?

Just to conclude this thread. The 2.26 ROM recently released seems to have cured my WiFi woes and it has made my phone run so much better than before.
I recommend it to anyone

Wizard Radio Rom Only Updaters (Updated Topic)

Running this RUU will only update your Radio Rom. You will not lose any settings.
These are all in English.
2.x Radio Roms are for use with 2.x Bootloaders only.
They don't work with 1.x Bootloaders (IPL/SPL Versions 1.x). The good news is that since it doesn't dork your BootLoader if you goof you can still reflash with your original Rom and recover your device or use the Cingular 1.09.10 Radio Only Rom included here.
How To Use This RUU Package
1. Select the Radio Rom you want:v1.09.10 from Cingular 1.08 Rom.
v2.25.11 from the leaked Cingular 2.25 AKU 2.2 Rom. Several users have reported that this improves their reception.​v2.25.11 from the leaked Test T-Mobile (US) 2.24 AKU 2.3 Rom. It is also listed as version 2.25.11 but the file is not an exact match to the Cingular Radio Rom.
v2.07 from Summiter's Cingular 2.17 AKU 2 Rom, which was made using components extracted from a device with what is believed to be the mysterious Cingular 2.23 AKU 2.2 Rom.
v2.19.11 from the T-Mobile UK 2.21.0.206 Rom Release, for our European Brothers (and Sisters).
v2.19.11 from the T-Mobile Dutch Website, for our European Brothers (and Sisters).
v2.21.4 from the Xda Minis 2.24.4.101 Rom, for our European Brothers (and Sisters).
v2.27.11 Prodigy Radio Rom. As provided by ShogunMark.
​2. Download the Zip file.
3. Extract the contents into an empty folder on your PC.
4. Make sure you have established a usb connection with your device (Activesync as guest is okay)
5. Execute the RomUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe
6. Follow the prompts.
Don't worry it won't overwrite your existing Extended Rom, Storage Area or OS so the PDA side of your device will remain untouched.
Just wondering, isnt this the same radio rom thats in the new beta T-Mobile rom?

The version number is the same but there have been numerous reports of better performance with the Radio Rom from the leaked Cingular Rom.
So the answer is Yes and No apparently.
If you're not experiencing noticable issues then why bother flashing it. On the other hand it certianly won't hurt to flash it.
Reply by Gamescan
Before I build the "Mr. Clean" AKU 2.3 ROM I did both a binary compare of the T-Mobile 2.25.11 Radio ROM and the Cingular 2.25.11 Radio ROM.
They are *different* files and do seemingly get different reception. In testing on a WIZA100 device, the Cingular version was noticeably better. I haven't gotten around to testing on the WIZA200 yet, but I'm expecting to see the same performance.
As a result of the tests, I included the Cingular version in "Mr. Clean" and kyphur was kind enough to package it separately after people asked for just the Radio ROM.
I downloaded and used the radio update from this thread with no problems it only updated the radio and left my settings intact.
Thanks for the file I need the improved reception
R
Thanks for the Rom, 4 bars at my desk where I used to have 1.... T-Mo Vario
Well, I just ran the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and it completed the installation with my settings intact (in fact, the install only too a minute, whereas the full T-Mobile ROM took well over 5 minutes to complete).
My 8125 is running the AKU2.3 custom Cingular ROM that already had the T-Mo 02.25.11 Radio version. So, I don't have any absolute way to say that the Cingular 02.25.11 installed successfully, guess I'll have to test the signal now
Thanks for the updated Radio ROM

Works OK on KJAM 2.16.9.1 stock
Hi there,
I installed Cingular radio 2.15.11 on K-JAM running stock latest image:
2.16.19.1.
It installed OK, works OK and so far reception seems better.
Thanks for all the effort providing that,
Hal.
gamescan said:
I know this goes against conventional thinking, but has anyone tried to flash this to a CID LOCKED device? I'm curious if it will work as it doesn't touch the OS or the bootloader. If it does work it'd be a must have upgrade for pretty much *everyone* out there.
My devices have long since been unlocked so I've got no way of testing it.

Yep it will work. It's really just the initial and secondary program loaders that are affected by the CID.
Thanks, Kyphur, for posting the Radio ROM
Installed w/o any problem, runs also very well

cingular radio > tmobile radio
I've tried both and I noticed that the cingular is better. Why? Because with the tmobile one my push email would never sync properly on the mda. The cingular is fast and perfect. How fast you might ask? Well my mda receives the notice of new email faster than my Outlook client. But the original tmobile rom, my signal never dropped below 2 bars. The cingular drops 2 bars but that's 60% signal from the reading I get from Voice command. But I've talked for longer than 10 minutes on my phone and it's worked just fine. Kudos to Kyphur for sharing this with us.

Hey kyphur,
Well, Summiter put in the radio rom from Cingular's 2.25.11, and I tell yah, I'm still suffering from the same problems. the only choice I have left is the original 2.17 radio code, which I guess I'll have to try once I get around to seeing my home computer - been mobile for 3 days, haven't even seen my own grass... sigh ...
AKU2.3 Radio rom based on t-mo ... failed wifi on pre-n

Have you tried a different router? The one thought that pops to mind is that perhaps something in the firmware of the pre-n router isn't completely 802.11b compliant? After all, no 802.11n routers are final yet. It's quite possible there are still bugs on that end.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I know officially the stack on Q.11n isn't official, but the router is set to be compatiable with both G and B flavors of Q.11 sequences. What's more disturbing is that it was working with 1.8.11 WWE (stock). I know the firmware in the router is good, works with a Dell TruMobile Wifi, Moto G Wifi, Centrino internal Wifi, and Broadcom Wifi cards... so we've been around the block with Pre-n connecting on a G and B platform systems - it simply does not like my phone. I do have the G hack enabled through Sum Sum, and tried removing it - no difference.
I haven't tried other G routers, besides my SRX100 router, and even with this one its spotty at best - requies disable/enable occassionally when it 'loses touch' with the AP.
I'm wondering if 2 hours of ethereal logs might be required to find out where in the Q.11 stack stuff is messing up. Networking is my ball of wax, and it doesn't make sense to me if a device ARPs for an address, and the device REPLIES saying, "Yeah sure buddy, here you go: x.x.x.x" and the device simply IGNORES it ... kinda confuses me - like a Cisco 2600 that just came back from repair and the stupid idiot soldered a jumper cause 'it was loose'... ugh... numbskull
has anyone in california had good signal with the 2.21.4 radio rom??

Next question, are you extracting the contents of the zip file into an empty folder? might you have extracted into a folder containing an unhacked version of the updater program and by mistake running it instead of the NoID version?
I unpacked to a new folder.
I think the problem is with the rom that we already have installed that "maybe" is bloking the update ?

2.47.11 radio rom

If someone has posted this already then sorry, but i havent seen it here, just on another topic somewhere...
Anyway, I was browsing around this morning and came across a prodigy 2.47.11 radio rom, downloaded it and wouldnt update.. so i extracted the file from the installer and packaged it back up to work on my cingular 8125... And i have noticed a huge difference in the radio all day.. places i dropped doesnt seem to drop anymore... blah blah blah.. i uploaded it so you can try it for yourself..
This is the radio only.. flashing this will not erase your settings..
2.47.11 radio rom.rar
just installed it now, will test during the day...
Wow! It DOES seem better, at least it seems I see more bars after a few glasses of wine Well, my house is in the hills and the reception sucks, but it seems more robust after this. Will know more tomorrow morning on my way to the office....
Thanks!

Can't install it. It doesn't even start.
I have a G4 Wizard.
Seem like it has a higher build
Seem like a higher build number, guessing it's a newer rom then our cingular 2.25.11, interested in trying it out but would this in any chance brick my phone or do I need to CID unlock ...or it doesn't touch the bootloader part.
if it's safe to go without have to CID unlock or change setting and programs I'll give it a try. Please reponse back ASAP wanna try it too.
looks good! signal is better.
is this only for the G3 wizards as i have a G4 and would love to improve my radio ROM
is there a complete prodigy 2.47.11 rom (not only radio)?
Will this radio rom work on prophet?

Not updated ?
I've just applied this updated RADIO ROM.
Update procedure is succesfully completed but nothing is changed...
My device is still with Radio ROM V02.07.10 and ROM 2.18.7.3.
Do you have any idea what could be the problem ?
i updated this rom this morning and i got a mild improvement...
Just updated my phone to it. I get full bar at work anyway (less than 100 feet from a tower), so I'll check it out from home tonight. There's a couple of spots that it isn't really that great.
Thanks for posting it!
I flashed this new Radio this AM and it seems to be much more responsive compared to the Cingular 2.25. My office is in a tough cell coverage area. I have an external 4 ft. Yagi antanae hooked to an amplifier and wireless repeater inside my office. Cell coverage inside is usually pretty shakey. This Radio picked it up instantly and its strength changes quickly as I walk through an area where my wireless repeater wont reach.
i cant be much help on this, except i found it somewhere on this board, had to extract from the prodigy update utility(cause it originally wouldnt flash on my 8125), and put it into the no_id update utility, then flashed it on my phone yesterday am, noticed an improvement so i gave it to you guys... and thats about all i know about it...
i dont know if it will work for a G4, but all you would need to do is get the G4 update utility and throw the nk.nbf into a folder with it... i cant garuantee it will work, but if someone wants to try it there is the steps...
as far the comparison to the cingular 2.25.11 radio... in my testing i would say that this radio hands down beats the cingular radio
I flashed this one on a locked 8125 and it did install. Radio seems to work a little better will know later on today.

Faria 3.2 Htc Wizard Rom Real Issues-report Here

DUE to the first thread been turned into another unlocking one I had no choice but, to close the project.
But I feel that it is unfair to the people that respect my work an appreciate it.
The response to the rom has been overwhelming!!!! I never see this kind of response to a rom since the blue angel days
once again this thread been trashed with crap.rom is no longer available.next realease is pending.got better things to do with my time.plus time job is takeing most of mine time now and with x-mas coming,gonna get worst. when im ready i will contact the testers.no more tester are neede at the moment.
if you experience power-ups with push email folow.this;
now for users that have the device powering up when push email activated,i have been doing some testing;
i setup my push email [web2mail]
now i have setup the device security with a password,so when it comes from stand-by,will ask for it,
then a setup devicee lock in batterie status to also lock the device [see pictures]
what can i say i works fine.
when i receive an email from my server ,it notefys-me with the email sound ,but the device does not power up as reported.
now when the device lock time out is up,the device wakes up to lock itself
and the powers down in 1-2 seconds -this is normal in this rom atleast.
how to the date in the top right corner ?
use registry wizard[included in the rom] to remove the date or time
to use default clic sound download the file below
remove the .zip from the file name as it's just a cab...thanks dr.p
whats is in my rom?
unlcoking problem
people don't get it and it is really easy to unlock CID if they really follow the threads that there are. This thread says it clearly what u do and it is really easy to do it. Most of the people have update tool problem they can solve that with wizard_ROM update utility_noID file on the FTP site of the XDA. They can just put it to the unpcaked faria RC1 file and run it after unlocking CID. Two steps simple and cristle clear !!

hey faria, awsome job i wish i had half your skills. your latest rom has been exeptional, the only issue i had was when i overclocked it the screen would intemitently turn on, oh and the battery meter never went below 57%. any help or sugestions would me much appreciated.

I would like to see some articles on the page-pool size thing though. That's a new one to me. Check my post in the original thread (#419). Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? I can only find how-to's and not any reasons as to why one would do this...
So uh ... how do I unlock my phone? I did not get any keys. Are they on the stylus somewhere? I gotta go download a computer.

well I told you I would let you all know if there was a difference that I noticed between the 8mb and 12 mb with the voicemail issues and in-call issues.
with the 12, sometimes in a call, buttons would become usless and had to soft reset to hang up. same thing with the 8.
with the 12, voicemail icon would not go away after voice mail deleted. havnt seen that with the 8 yet.
other than that, speed is good in both, and everything works like a charm.
Jeb
I hope your donations will provide you with at least the ability to take a night off and go to dinner or maybe get a massage to help you forget the newbie questions. I will be sending a donation as well. You have provided an outstanding ROM that has rivaled (and beaten) multi-m(b)illion dollar companies core and "upgrade" roms.
To all those that wish to ask newbie questions, leave faria's threads dedicated to the enhancement and ultimate release of one of the best ROMS for a PPC phone alone.
The least you could do is create your own thread and post your questions there.
I hope I may be considered for future testing granted my moderately new questions have not been classified as non rom related. If so, I will go study some more and apply to faria U at a later time
G4s and the ROMs
Faria, I think I am onto something here. From what I am reading in the posts, and from what you and I discussed the other day about my extended rom not loading correctly, I think and G4 with IPL/SPL ABOVE 2.17.0001 have a greater degree of security. Again, reading the posts in your other thread, it seems a handful of G4 owners could indeed install your rom fully, while the other half would only get the OS. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am starting to see a pattern.
First and foremost I would like to thank Jose for all the time and effort that he put into making this great rom. If and when you come to NYC I am taking you out and getting you twisted VIP style! But enough ass kissing and lets get to bussiness.
I have had very minor issues.
The mms did not work for me with the settings that I had from tmobile USA. I did get them to work when I got some of the settings cabs from the 2.26 custom extended rom. I did run the auto config that was included to set the network settings.
After installing all the software extras that was included to check how they worked, I have not been able to keep the phone off. When I say off I mean the backlight staying off when nothing is running. I have tried using the XP feature to turn the light off but it doesnt keep it off either. This could be something that I did so I may just reflash and install everything one by one to see where the problem comes from.
I also have noticed some signal problems but I think that was more of me installing those cabs from the 2.26 rom
Any help is appreciated.
one issue i have noticed is right before the device wakes up it white screens for 2-3 seconds then loads the today screen.. i dont know if this is a issue as i have not seen it really affect anything but i figured id let u know.

3.The proplem that i encountered:
when ROM upgrade finished, the device automatically

The installation process went smoothly to its nearly end then a
error dialog box poped up with :"/Windows/autoconfig.exe doesnt exist"
,the only thing i could do is to choose "ok".The device restarted and
what i find after that is a new OS 2.26.10.2 without the EXt_ROM.
I downloaded both 8MB and 12MB pool versions but it gives me
the same result for both.
Please help me me on :
1.How to correct those problems.
2.How to upgrade my SPL and IPL to the newest versions?I stay the same(2.25) even when i upgraded the device to 2.26.
Thank you very much for any help.
Was your phone CID unlocked prior to the install? It seems that you have a G3 so the other thread on unlocking should have been done first. (You may have done this prior to another ROM but I am to tired to think about that...) Good luck!

Urgent helps needed!
So i bricked my Cingular 8125!
I just wanted to upgrade my ROM to the newest AKU 3.2 from Faria.
I did ungrade and errors arised as i described above.
I was told that the fone hadn't been CID unlocked.
I did as what described in lowikiz
-downgrade the rom,
-run enablerapi.cab on my device
-run lowikiz 0.2b
-choose CID unlock
Restarted the fone, what i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.25
GSM 2.47.11
OS 3.0.0
There're only two things fulfill me,that's GSM and the OS.I wanted the
IPL and SPL should be 2.26 or later version.
What i did then :
-Downgrade again (hoping that i forgot to SIM unlock)
-run enablerapi on my device
-run lowikiz 0.2b
-choose unlock
And when the fone restart.
What i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.x.x
OS 1.05.x
when the installation completed, i upgraded the ROM again to AKU3.2
everything went smoothly until it finished.The fone restarted and what i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
<blank, no GSM version, couldnt believe that>
OS 3.0.0.0
the device kept running until the installation completed.
It restarted again and stopped running.What i can see now is just
nice background and blinking (waited for nearly 15 mins but no futher responses)
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
OS 3.0.0.0
It couldn't get further.
I think i bricked my Cingular 8125.
So could you helpers, experienced users help me with that?
Can i fix it?Or can HTC fix it?
Thank you very much!
Hello faria. I said eariler that this was a great rom. I think i have found a minor annoyance, i wouldn't call it a bug. It is related to spb time at least I'm pretty sure it is. I get the calnot.exe error every now and again and the cannot locate the spbtime.exe on reset. Its strange everything still works as it should. I think someone else had this problem in the other thread. I thought is was because spb time was loaded on the mem card and the fact that windows is sometimes late in loading it. So my next step was to move it to the sys mem. Same problem, I guessing it is on spb to fix this. I was probably not designed to work well with aku 3.2. Other than I that i could not find any real problems, except one time i uninstalled spb time and i oculd no longer sync. easliy fixed by hard reset no prob. I'm using 12mb pool. I also used your registry tweak program and set all the cache to the highest settings. Do you think that is a bad idea for this pool size. Have noticed some slow down in performance i don't know if the two are related.
thanks for the great rom again man!!

I didnt delte it I just ran the other cabs from 2.26 and soft rest it. I think thats where my signal problem came from. I have to reboot to get my signal back.
monadzback said:
well I told you I would let you all know if there was a difference that I noticed between the 8mb and 12 mb with the voicemail issues and in-call issues.
with the 12, sometimes in a call, buttons would become usless and had to soft reset to hang up. same thing with the 8.
with the 12, voicemail icon would not go away after voice mail deleted. havnt seen that with the 8 yet.
other than that, speed is good in both, and everything works like a charm.

there is a fix for that in page 7-8 in the old thread
LOL! So you will select us according to whether or not we have something intelligent to say. Well, I am about to put your 8mb rom on my MDA (right now using the RISIDRO rom loaded on top of the t-mobile official 2.26 rom) and will let you know what I think. I will be sure to say something smart. I will just blow you away with my intelligence and technical prowess.
I would like to see some articles on the page-pool size thing though. That's a new one to me. Check my post in the original thread (#419). Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? I can only find how-to's and not any reasons as to why one would do this...
So uh ... how do I unlock my phone? I did not get any keys. Are they on the stylus somewhere? I gotta go download a computer.

nice try.but no dice

Downgraded NBD to Button, then tried to upgrade to Cingular ROM, but getting errors

Have a G3 unlocked Wizard (Cingular 8125).
Have been running different ROMS to see which one I like.
Recently stayed with NBD 8.0 for a while.
Last week battery went to heck, apparantly during a reflashing.
Probably due to the battery, I could never reflash and would always get
stuck in bootscreen @ 98%, no matter how long I charged the battery
(using stock charger and battery in-phone.)
I purchased a cradle battery charger and a new battery from ebay (which works great BTW).
Now I can flash... I think.
I managed to flash in "Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102" and my phone works.
I even got caught up on my voicemails. But every time I try to
upgrade to stock Cingular or T-Mobile, the RUU says incorrect ?nk.nbf? file.
(The actual ROM file).........What gives?
This is what comes up upon bootup.
ipl-1.01
spl-1.01
gsm-1.12.10.0
os-1.5.4.2
I'm using an XP machine with ActiveSync 4.5. Never had a problem
re-flashing before. I tried looking through the threads without success.
Any help would be appreciated.
i was going to say try that xda mini rom. thats what fixed my problem , then i was able to flash a tmobile rom. then tne wm6.

It may be the RUU you are using. Try flashing the Cingular rom using one of the RUUs I attached below. I personally have never had this problem before so this is my best suggestion.
Is it possible that somehow it got re-locked????
Also, evrytime I try to upgrade out of 1.05 ROM the RUU process stops at 85% and then says nk.nbf not for this PDA.
No, except you didn't have a successful CID-unlock (e.g. Unlock when IPL and SPL is 2.xx, and flashed to WM6 using ShellTool, then you think that you have been unlocked, which is actually not)
Update: Even though I haven't been able to load the official Cingular ROM or
the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM, I HAVE been successful in loading NBD 8.0.
I DON'T GET IT!!!!! Why would NBD load but official carrier ROMs get stuck at 85%?
Although my G3 is is currently working again, I'll still do some more experimenting.
I don't know what an extended ROM is, but I wonder if mine was corrupted
during the power failure when attempting to downgrade last week from NBD to Cingular?
I'll post my results hoping this will help others.
Edit: An hour later- I tried another official WM5 ROM form HTC, no dice. Froze @ 85%
just like the other WM5 Official ROMs. On a hunch, I tried to install the newest NBD 9.2.
IT WORKED! WHY can I install NBD ROMS but not Official WM5 ROMs?
Now the first splash screen is the *dated* green stepped graduated green from 1.05. The current info:
IPL- 2.25
SPL- 2.25
GSM- 02.25.11
OS- 6.0.0.0
Itai! This is tough!
EDIT: OK, it's now 4am and I'm seeing double....
Tried Wizard Service Tool, a very efficient program by mestrini.
Apparantly, my extended ROM was hidden. So the WST unhid it. Now we'll see what this does.
According to WST, there was no pagepool found in WM6 or WM5 location.
Could this be why WM5 updates didn't work?
4:22am, even cat gave up on me...
Sorry if I missed something here, but if you have a CID Unlocked phone and you downgrade back to a 1.xx IPL/SPL, then you will be CID Locked again when you upgrade. Anytime you downgrade to 1.xx you have to redo the CID Unlock process while you are down there before going back to IPL/SPL 2.xx or higher.
So redo going back to the Button rom, do the lokiwiz unlock, make sure both IPL/SPL are 1.xx (so you may have to flash button a couple of times) then upgrade to Cingular, T-Mo or whatever official 2.xx rom.

Didn't work. I'm certain I'm unlocked, both by lokiwiz program saying so and
Wizard Service Tool saying so. After the unlock I was successfully able to
load NBD 8.0 & NBD 9.2 ROMs, but not the official T-Mo/Cingular WM5 ROMs.
WST found the pagepool completely missing in both WM5 & WM6 sectors.
The extended ROM was also hidden. Both of those items have been corrected
so later today I'll redo the entire process just to make sure all is well.

Thanks. More clues to this puzzle!
Try flashing the empty extented rom. Most new roms don't have extended roms, so if your extended rom is corrupt it may be keeping wm5 to load. Which explains why NBD roms work.

Thanks, I just now tried this approach. I used mestrini's Wizard Service Tool to 'format' the extended rom. As of this moment I've just downgraded to Button 1.05 ROM and going to use lokiwiz's unlocker.
There is a rom out that will flash an empty extended rom without changing anything else.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42076&d=1182515673
I have formatted the extended rom.
Then I tried to redo the Button-->Unlock-->T-Mo 2.26.
Still process stops at 85% when installing T-Mo ROM!!!
Also, the splash screen doesn't seem to be working?

How long are you waiting when its at 85%. I've had them stay at 85 % for over 5 minutes before.
I would recommend flashing ---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42076&d=1182515673
???
in my opinion it is a waste of time to downgrade to flash a new/original rom...i've flashed about 100 or so roms since late 2005, multiple devices, jumping from carrier rom to latest wm5/6 builds..never had an error.
Do what you like of course, im just saying save 10 mins and flash straight to whatever you're wanting to try. goodluck and happy flashing
BTW like I said before... for those of you with dual/quad core procs, try putting the romupdateutility.exe on real-time priority and check it, I flash in roms in less than 3 mins, everytime, no errors

Is there a correct method for using those files? I installed them to the Wizard's Windows/ Startup directory & rebooted. They sorta ran, but when I checked the extended ROM with WST, it reported the extended ROM was empty =)
Now I'll go around again Button 1.04-->Lokiwiz Unlock-->T-Mo 2.26

Good point... HOW long are you waiting. If you are doing an RUU, you should just let it run. Official roms will "Hang" at 85%, and I've had them hang for over 5mins before also, but they always finish.
As someone used to post, you should start the RUu, then head to the kitchen, go get coffee, a snack, whatever. Just ignore the flashing process until its done...

Very well said. Lol. It's true though. If you just ignore it, it will seem to go faster. I noticed the same thing too. If you are flashing an official rom, it will almost always stop at 85%, sometimes for a long time... Just let it go and it should eventually finish.

Help Downgrading WM6 to WM5 Cingular 8125

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!
