8125 w/ 2.16.9.101: looking for feedback on stability

Any of you 8125 owners who installed the imate 2.16.9.101 release have any new feedback on how it's going? Are there still issues with the connection icons or wifi connectivity?
I'm eager to get push mail working and have not been able to get a straight answer from a dozen different folks at Cingular on when their release will come out...so I might give the imate release a shot.
What about going back to the shipping Cingular version after installing the imate update - is it easy/possible? Any problems with extended ROM?
thx

I never even used the phone with the original cingular firmware, I went directly to the Q-tek Test rom. From that rom to this rom, the radios seem a little better (getting better signal, edge seems slightly faster, wifi picks up network much faster) and for some reason the whole feel is "snappier" seems like the menus and such load faster. I haven't had any stability issues, and push is working perfect.

I dont' know about the much faster part, but mine is very stable since i removed battery pack pro. I have SPB's power plus as well as their weather software.
if there are any software you want tested just let me know. Well if I can atleast run it without having to buy it, (i.e. Demos, etc.)
Bluetooth, Wifi, Edge, and signal are all real good. (signal on par with 1.12 radio as well as faster to get a signal than it was)
Battery icon is NOT on the bottom and does NOT show more than 2 bars ( so you have full, somewhere in between, and low).
Battery life seems pretty good, but I can't compare it to any other version as I had the phone 36 hours before I upgraded it to this version.

Great thanks for the feedback yall. So once I do the upgrade, how hard will it be to go back to the shipped version if I ever need to? I have everything backed up using awizard, but I understand there could be problems trying to go to a previous version. I think downgrading via the bootloader mode requires executable rom images, but there isn't one available for the shipping version.

You can still downgrade to an old imate ROM and then use aWizard to restore your cingular ROM.

I have installed it on my Qtek 9100.
I hanged 5 times in 2 days.
What is more annoying is when it hangs and
someone tries to call me at the same time, the
other party hears my phone ringing, but my
Qtek is dead silent.

Is your wifi working OK? If so, did you install any of the cingular exrom customizations?
Just curious, because I installed the released imate rom and everything is working like a champ except wifi. I installed some of the original customizations from the cingular exrom and I wonder if one of those cabs did something to the wifi config...

What kind of porblems are you having with the wifi?

It won't turn on.. =)
I thought perhaps it was one of the cingular customization cabs I installed from the original exrom, but now I'm not so sure. I looked at all the cabs and the only one that relates to wifi is the cab that sets the key to enable talking to 802.11g APs.
In comm manager, if I click the wifi icon, it appears to attempt to start wifi, but then goes back to an "x" over the wifi button. The wifi radio doesn't start and the left LED that blinks when wifi is on does not come on.
I wish there were some logs to look at on this thing to see why it's failing to start wifi..

Solved the wifi problem. It appears to be related to something in one of the original 8125 exrom cabs. I reinstalled the new imate rom, skipped the imate exrom install, and only installed a couple cabs from the 8125 exrom. The cabs I installed that did not affect wifi were the mms config, the gprs account config, and the edge icon.
All is now well. If I had the time and patience I'd tear apart the original 8125 cabs to see which one might cause wifi probs, but at this point it's not necessary.
I'll stick with it as-is now until cingular releases their own update...assuming that happens before the hermes is out.. =)

I have a Dopod 838 (identical to 8125, I suppose). The new ROM has worked awesome for me. Better in every way. Even the infamous Activesyn problem went away

I am getting ready to take the plunge...just in case...
does anyone have the original 8125 ROM?
I use SPB backup can restore a backup after I upgrade?

I installed this rom on my 9100, and it is much better than it was with any of the other roms including the original shipped rom!
The radio is much clearer and the wifi hooks up faster and runs better, and I have had absolutely NO lock ups at all.
Later

I am thinking of installing it on an 8125...
Without a backup 'known good' ROM to revert back to I am cautious

I added the extROM files one by one to see which one caused the wifi issue and it was Signed-gprsstall_128.sa.cab...so far. It was only the third one in a series of 17. I'll see what happens when I add the rest. This cab file moves a radio.dll file around.

I've installed this ROM on 2 8125's. Much better and faster than Cingular's ROM. The only thing I did was to install the Cingulcustomize_No_Emails.cab, Microsoft Voice and TRE Pocket PC registry editor and remove all traces of the Voice Command. WiFi connects to my secured access point flawlessly (though I never use WiFi) and the AKU2 push email typically has my emails coming in in about 8-10 seconds from my Exchange 2003 server. Very infrequent lockups, much less than any other ROM I've installed.
Just my two cents worth ...

Step by step to 2.16
I have a cingular 8125. I'm no stranger to flashing roms, I had a SX66 that was running WM5 and I reloladed it all the time. I'd like to see a step by step guide for unlocking the ext rom, flashing the radio and system roms for the 8125. Anyone know a post with that info in it?
Thanks!

Interesting you say you're no stranger to flashing ROMs but then ask for a step by step.
It's laid out quite well in several topics, but basically:
-Use awizard and enable rapi
-Use awizard and CID unlock
-Use awizard to back up Extrom, radio, splash, os
-Run the executable RUU installer for the imate
-On first boot, as soon as you get prompted to choose a carrier, do a soft reset to prevent the imate ext rom stuff from loading
-Install desired customization items from your backed up cingular ext rom. Any of them can be installed EXCPET the gprsstall cab - it will kill your wifi.
There is currently no way to unlock the ext rom in the lates imate upgrade, so you're stuck with what's in there, but you don't have to let it install.

OFFICIAL Cingular 8125 AKU2.2 ROM released/link. Experience?

Originally posted in a long thread by iceman0921. Figured I'd post a separate thread so people could find it. The thread it was posted in had like 186 posts so it would get buried in there.
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
I haven't tried it yet, still running 2.17 Summiter Custom ROM.
Please post your experience using this ROM.

i can't update yet since i'm at work

My "quick" experience thusfar:
OS Build 14928.2.2.0
IPL/SPL: 2.25
ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE
Radio/GSM 2.25.11
Ext. ROM 2.25.11.102
I haven't noticed much different with this build versus the 2.23 that summiter released late last week.
Note that it still has that USBSwitch program installed by default, so you will need to change it from Serial to RNDIS to have a reliable ActiveSync. Note that I think this is in one of the CAB files due to the fact that my phone synced before customization using RNDIS by default, but after customizations, I had to go to USBSwitch to revert back to RNDIS.
It is an AKU2.2 device and has the GetGood, Clearview PDF, and ExpressMail installed by default.
I can't tell whether or not it has A2DP as I don't use Bluetooth devices. Push Mail works well with my Exchange 2003 SP2 server.
(Summiter: If you read this, consider including the "Device Lock" application found in the development section of this forum)

*Email vibrate while sleeping bug is fixed...
*If you put the device to sleep, while plugged in through the USB cable, Windows drops the connection. Still Power Charges though.
*MediaNET connection not there. Has a generic connection with Cingular GPRS connection strings.
*WIFI cert enroller not working for personal certs. You can still do manually using PFX import utils
*Seems about as speedy as Summiter's 2.17 release.
Will report as more things come up.

WAP pages load quickly and the default settings for GPRS allow connection to GMAIL etc without any alterations.
Appears to be solid at this point.

I'm currently away from my BT headset, and haven't had a chance to pair it yet....
Anyone tested with Voice Dial??????
I'll try it tonight.

It appears to, I know that I had used AWizard to Sim unlock my phone but now I tried a T-Mo sim and it didn't work! Just asked for the unlock code.

Thanks for upping this icema!
At first glance it appears to be the same as the aku2.2 (ROM ver 2.17.11.1) ROM, excpet that the radio stack is slightly different. The core OS and extended ROM are the same code-wise (only versioning numbers are changed). The bootloader code appears the same as well.
But, at least we have a full build with a more appropriately incremented build number.
I'll get crackin' on some stuff tonight.

I have intalled this but I can not find the cabs to add A2DP to it. Summiter what cab do you use in your builds? I looked on the FTP site and I can not find it. Want to use my headphones again.

Here you go,
I always unlock the Extended ROM and copy out every last file. Then I empty it. I figure if I can't build custom content then at least I can clean it out and prevent it from even trying to customize on hard reset.

is it worth going from summiters to this?

Hmmm, really want to upgrade. Only question is - how likely do you think it is that this will be the official Cingular release? Would hate to upgrade and then see official Cingular release in 2 weeks is slightly different.

Yeah, if vibe-on-email is important to you at this very moment. =)
There will be some customizations done shortly. (a2dp, cf2, themes, ringers, etc).
Speaking of themes, now that the date is back to being a single line, the themes included in previous ROMs look bad. (They had a darker background behind the 2-line date/time). Anyone have some suggestions for themes to add? Ideally, I'm looking for themes that will appeal to the widest audience.

I'm guessing, and only guessing, that since they've tightened this thing down with the connection settings change (got rid of the whole MediNET connection w/ proxy disaster) and removed the stray settings that are typically present on bare OEM devices (phone net select, phone TZ autoselect), it's pretty close to being a final release. Icema said that if this one passes regression testing it will be final, although I don't know his source for that info.
This ROM was built on 5/11, so I suspect it's been through testing since that time.

2.17 Radio Rom?

Would someone mind extracting and uploading JUST the radio rom from summiter's 2.17 release? I upgraded just my radio to 2.25 when that solo upgrade was posted here, but now I'm thinking that I had better reception with the original radio that was in 2.17. I don't want to have to completely reflash to go back to it....so purty please, could someone post it?
Thanks.

I threw it into the Wiz ROMs upload directory. Let me know how it goes - I've been thinking about trying it myself, but I don't have a compelling reason to since my reception and general radio behavior have been quite good.

Thanks Summiter
I'm having trouble finding it though...I don't see a radio rom that was uploaded today (6/12) in any of the Wizard/* directories...

Riiight about here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/2.17RadioOnly.exe

lol...well there it is (I wasn't in the Uploads directory...just the standard Wizard directory)
The update seemed to go fine and it's now reporting:
ROM - 2.17.7.2 WWE
Radio - 02.07.10
Protocol - 413.1.03
Windows Build 14947.2.0.0
Sitting on my desk before the update, I was searching for signal...I'm now back to 2-3 bars. I also noticed that the 2.25 radio rom running on the 2.17 was the first time that I've ever missed multiple text messages. Within the period of 2 days, I had 4-5 text messages sent to me that I never recieved....1 every now and then is expected...but not 4-5. I'm assuming it was the beta radio rom and hopefully this will clear things up. (I was also having several dropped calls like the others on the forum). I let you know how the update has changed things over the next week or so.
Thanks again!

Yes, it won't erase anything on your phone. Just download and run the program.

I was getting Invalid SIM when trying to send txt messages with 2.25 and the GPRS connection kept dropping and not automatically reconnecting. Guess that's why v2.25 was labeled as BETA :roll:

That used to happen to me with my MPX200. I was able to fix it by leaving myself a voicemail. Connect to VM from the notification, delete it and it should go away.

I took the same approach though my result looks a bit different than Stangs55 has. I was very happy with the new functionality of the latest ROM but felt the radio side had gone backwards a bit. It went from being fantastic to be on par with my old Nokia 3650, which was no slouch.
In some very unscientific testing in my house, I'm see on average two bars improvement as well.
Cheers,
Tony

How's that there 2.17 radio working out for ya podna?

lol, well Summiter...I do believe that 2.17 is as near to a perfect 8125 rom that you can get ie: it's working out great. For shame on me for trying to switch to the newer 2.2+ roms. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
My wife and I are heading into the Texas hill country this weekend and I was going to wait and post some results after we got back...but so far the choice is obvious for me: In downtown Houston, the 2.17 radio offers considerably better reception and less dropped calls than both the stock and the 2.2+ roms. In fact, it was the 2.17 that saved my Cingular service in the first place as I almost payed the cancellation fees b/c I was so fed up with horrible reception/service. You saved my family $350 in cancellation fees, summiter .
So, yea, it's working out great. Thanks!

Well that's interesting. If the radio that's released on Monday is problematic, I'm going to try 2.17 out for awhile. I'm hoping though that Cingular has thouroughly tested and blessed a radio that is as good. I remember way back when, I was the happiest with the entire 2.17 ROM myself.

not sure if this matter but isnt texas - houston(area to be specific) one ofthe 3g markets ?

Looks like the same ROM that was leaked a few days ago. This contains the same Ext ROM that I used to create the Mr. Clean AKU 2.3 T-Mobile UK ROM.

I've not yet tried upgrading the ROM on my UK Vario, but I guess now is the time to think about it. I want to keep my stored SMS and MMS messages, but everything else on the machine I'll probably clean-install and re-tweak as necessary once I get the new ROM flashed. I've got a good idea of what I do and don't want in my Vario after 5 months use, and I guess now would be a great time to get rid of all the junk that's probably clogging up the registry by now.
A couple of questions:
I know I can make a backup copy of the current ROM onto a clean SD card, but can I back it up onto a partially used card (i.e. using the file system, rather than raw data blocks).
I backup my Vario regularly using SPB Backup. Can the SPB Restore utility restore just my SMS/MMS messages (including user-created folders) without reinstalling anything else, so I can keep a nice clean machine?
The UK T-Mobile release is 2.0, whereas "Mr Clean ROM" is 2.3. I'm guessing 2.3 is better, but what am I likely to lose (if anything) that's on the T-Mobile ROM? Is the stereo bluetooth headset facility on both? I've already removed most of the obvious T-Mobile pink stuff, and put in a better dialler skin, etc. In fact, I don't really want T-Mobile's dialler skin at all, as I've been trying to get rid of their modified history & speeddial icons for ages!
Finally, what about reinstalling things like TomTom - will doing so remove my user-defined favourite place settings, etc? (my maps are stored on SD card)
Thanks for any advice, I'm a little nervous here...
Andre

^^^ Same questions and concerns for me.
Also, I flashed my T-Mobile UK MDA from original ROM to Qtek 2.17 ROM a month ago. I SIM & CID unlocked it in the process using Lokiwiz 0.2b - do I need to prep the phone with Lokiwiz 0.3 before flashing the MDA to keep it unlocked?
Cheers in advance.

Things I've noticed so far:
1)
The Comms screen has been radically changed, adding a "push" button (deactivated on my uk t-mobile vario for some reason) and another button that looks like a ppc to ppc connection.
2)
The battery icon has moved from the bottom right corner to the top right corner, on the top panel, (where the time used to be) and has turned an ugly shade of green. I presume it goes yellow -> red when on low power.
3)
In the programs, something called "SAP Settings" has been added.
It's used for remote sim access apparently.
4)
"Running Programs" is now a program and can be seen on the start menu
6)
"Comm manager is now a program that appears on the "running programs" list.

When starting up, it displays the t-mobile screen followed by the WINDOWS MOBILE screen instead of just the t-mobile screen.
Finally, this could because of a cleaner registry and stuff, but it does feel somewhat more efficient.

So would the early adopters say it is better or worse than the mighty summiter/Mr Clean (Uk) versions

Right now I like the Mr Clean version better, but I only had that on for a weekend and the new one has only been on for an hour or so.

Personally after a day with it I'm tempted to go back to the qtek 2.17 rom

Hi can someone post up the MMS settings as I didn't note them down when I updated the rom - doh! UK of course.

Thats interesting.... Im using a Qtek 2.17 ROM at the moment and am considering upgrading, but Im holding back at the moment. What dont you like?

Bad news here. I've been running the Mr Clean Comes to London ROM for a few days with no problems at all and before that one of the Qtek ones and the unit never reset itself which it had ben doing with the T-Mobile ROM from the start of the year. I am happy with the performance of the new T-Mobile ROM after installing it yesterday but overnight it went back to soft resetting itself as all of my open programs were shut down this morning. Also when I turned it on the screen wasn't responding so I ended up doing another reset.
I'll leave it over the weekend but it looks like the spontaneous reset problem hasn't been resolved. Strange that T-Mobile can't fix that but all the other ROMs seem to have it licked!

Of course it could be something T-Mobile has put in that's causing it. I'm thinking Mr Clean is the way to go...

AKU 3.2 Molski / Faria Missed Call Problem Fixed

I've uploaded the radio rom only file here
Thanks - I've gone down to 02.19.11 from 2.47.11 because of the missed call problem. Will test for a week or so and let everyone know how it works out.

Finally a fix for U.S. users
The underlying problem was the newer radio stacks. The 2.19 Radio is on the FTP site under wizard rom;s tmobile. I can't take credit as see previous post, but thought it deserved it's own thread.
I can confirm it fixed the missed call problem U.S. Cingular 8125 on Cingular network. Overclock to 240 mhz and voicecommand 1.6 and wow smoking fast phone and bluetooth headset seems to work better!

I can't install that Radio Rom. It is in Italian and gives me some sort of error. Got an English or WWE copy by any chance? THanks for the tip!

How about sharing the source of the English version?????

The version I posted works on G3 and G4. Don't think there's an English installer yet for G4 devices. Just click avanti (next) until it flashes the radio rom.
Nice to see that 2.19.11 also works for the Cingular users!
A link to the file here!

This is VERY interesting! I had to drop Faria's 3.2 ROM because of this issue, even though it's been my favorite ROM so far. Has it had any affect on the battery drain? That was one of the other issues I contended with, however not near as big a concern as the calls/msgs not getting through. I'm looking forward to giving this another try.

FWIW, that is the Radio ROM I had, and this morning it installed fine. Maybe it had to do a couple of soft resets first. Anyway, I am hoping you nailed this one because I too like the Faria ROM best (and I also had the battery drain issue with it).

English Installer for the Dutch 2.19.11 Radio Rom.
Guys, i repackaged the Dutch T-mobile 2.19.11 Radio Rom with an English Installer. Go to this thread:
Wizard Radio Rom Only Updaters
It should work with both G3 and G4 chipsets as I used the same installer that is included in the other packages.
Enjoy...

Thanks, Kyphur - I'm right in the middle of reinstalling Faria's 3.2. This will make the radio update even easier.

Thanks, Kyphur! Now will one of you guys with Faria's 3.2 send it to me, because I can't find my copy and it has been pulled...argh....

Ok, now I can confirm no more missed calls Molski and faria 3.2 is now a definite go. So Molski, fario please put your 3.2 roms back but with radio 2.19
Thanks folks

How is the signal with this Radio? The whole reason I went to the 2.47.11 is for better reception in areas where I had little to none. Has anyone really noticed a difference?

This was a great find, thanks. Now I can go back to the 3.2 roms I had to swear off because...well...if the phone doesn't work for phone calls, it's a doorstop.

Excellent, dont even notice any difference. I wonder what all these versions about.

mda reception
I just installed the aku3.2 rom and i notice 1 stripe more in reception.
before i had the 2.26 from T-mobile US and this one RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2-G3. they both have 1 stripe reception where the 2.47 radio rom has 2-3 stripes.

I am going to say that it MAY have fixed or at least lessened the problem of the fast battery drain I was seeing with faria's ROM, too, and it is my favorite. This is most excellent.

It Works
Tried on molski with both cingular and Tmo, battery lasts longer and I have not missed any calls or had the phone require a reset!

YES....It works..!!
Thanks for the fix....!!!
Finally took time out to upgrade back to Faria's AKU 3.2 12mb and everything is working. Bluetooth is working better also, before...people could not hear me but I could here them (Motorola H700).
Dialpad works also....with & without Bluetooth...no more soft resetting.
I didn't say anything new....just confirming what's been said about the fix.....for USA T-Mobile users.

I installed the rom and downgraded to the Tmobile 02.19.11 UK radio rom (from the ftp). However, I am unable to make calls as it cannot connect to the network. There is an exclamation mark where the signal bars should be. I am O2 customer so I tried adding the network manually, but no joys.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a O2 2.19.11 uk rom?
Cheers
Chris

there is nothing different about this radio roms but the version number it has..
try the 2.25 t mobile rom this works also fine
