Hi, will u pls tell me something about this ROM, I'm wondering what are the original parts of the combination -- IPL, SPL, Radio and OS. Is there a offical release of the T-mobile US ROM of 2.17.x? thx in advance.

The upload directory path is not accessible.

It could be reached, I've already downloaded one copy.

Check the link please. The file could not be found on ftp

Someone deleted all the uploads on xda-dev. I will be uploading the files to http://xelencin.shackspace.com/ruu since xda-dev's ftp server seems to be unstable right now. If anyone wants to grab these and host them on their own for everyone else I would greatly appreciate it.

The ipl, spl, radio and os all come from the qtek 2.17 rom. The htc logo and splash come from the t-mobile usa rom. The extended rom is my own creation. There is no offical 2.17 rom for t-mobile, they are rather slow at these things.

For what it's worth, I was just trying to download these files, and when the download completed, I ran it and got a corrupted file error. I look at the FTP server again, and the file have disappeared! Someone is deleting the files, it appears.

I've hosted the files here:
http://www.joystig.com/wizard.htm

Does this have the new Comm Manager that came with TMO?

Sounds great... What is NOT in this that was in the stock ROM load? How far off will it be from the T-Mobile version that shipped with the MDA?
Also - any comparisons in terms of:
- amount of storage the two versions take?
- program memory/storage? (never enough!)
- speed / performance
TIA...

ahhh, I flashed one of my two devices (my wife's) Qtek 9100 and now it just boots and reboots over and over. Ok, without being able to establish an activesync connection, how do I flash it back? My phone is running the Qtek 9100 AKU2 release just fine. I should have just done the same to hers.

Not sure where to find it...but I've read a few posts that, as I recall, tell you how to get into the boot loader of the MDA, and proceed to reload the firmware from there. I'd do some searching around here - I suspect you'll find somebody (or an older post) that can help you get the toasted MDA back up to snuff...

The Newer ROM is up and working great so far...
The Original T-Mobile ROM seems to be corrupted and not available on the different links provided.

bootloader: hold the camera or recorder button in while resetting... then run an RUU. I had to run through many old incarnations and slowly update the device. I won't be trying a custom rom again.

You got it working though?
I understand the feeling... much as I'd like to try a newer ROM, I'm thinking that I'll probably wait a bit to see if T-Mobile comes out with an official release soon. Maybe it's silly of me...but I'd rather be in a position where they'll still fix or replace the phone if their own firmware load messes up my MDA. I've done a bunch of firmware updates to various devices over the years, and still find that I hold my breath while doing it. Don't need any extra problems just now, and my MDA is working really nicely for the moment, even loaded up with Wisbar Advance, PocketBreeze, ContactBreeze, iLauncher and some nice skins. I'd like some more memory, but the whole thing seems stable throughout the day, and responsive...so I think I'll leave well enough along for now!

Yes, thank goodness... but the phone is without some important things. Of course, like me, her phone was/is using push email, so she gets the most critical stuff back immediately, but custom app settings, etc are gone. I did have a recent SPB Backup... and all restores ok except for System Data. When restoring that part, the system will freeze and restart and then I have to hard reset. I wish I could do a more finely tuned custom restore and narrow down the troublesome part of the restore. Oh well, now to reinstall all of the apps that were on here.

I just flash this rom and everything seems fine but when I try to connect to the edge network, it won't connect. I have the 29.99 plan. How do I fix this problem?

Summiter's ROMs: locations, descriptions, and stuff

Thought I'd clear up some confusion on the various ROMs and where they are at now. Each of these ROMs is customized for Cingular - they have the Cingular splash screen, and GPRS and MMS account settings.
The orignal ROM that shipped on the 8125:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe
Based on QTek ROM that has A2DP (not recommended since there is now a 2.17 ROM with A2DP):
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_2080701_101_11310_WWE.exe
Based on QTek test ROM above, but with additional ringers, themes, overclocking app:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_2080701_101_11310_WWE-RINGRS-OCLOCK.exe
Based on Imate 2.17 ROM with AKU2 and MSFP (this is the "cleanest" customized ROM):
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE.exe
Based on 2.17 Imate ROM, but with additional ringers, themes, and overclocking app:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE-RINGRS-OCLOCK.exe
Based on 2.17 Imate ROM, but with additional ringers, themes, overclocking app, and Compact Framework 2 integrated into ROM:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_RNGRS_OCLOCK_CF2.exe
Based on 2.17 Imate ROM, but with additional ringers, themes, overclocking app, Compact Framework 2, and A2DP/AVRCP:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.exe
To flash to a new ROM, follow the directions listed in numerous posts. In a nutshell you do this:
Plug in, establish Activestink (no need to create a full partnership)
Use aWizard to CID unlock. Phone will restart when done.
Re-establish Activestink
Run the ROM upgrader of choice
I'd rather this post not turn into troubleshooting topic for specific versions, so try to keep those sorts of topics in the announcement threads for each ROM, or start a new topic. (after doing a search of the forums to see if your question/issue has been addressed elsewhere)
Thankya and stuff

You are the man, dude! Thanks for sharing your talents.

I hate post bumpers, but I'm still getting PMs and seeing folks looking for proper links to the ROMs, so, BUMP BIATCH.

Yeah, this should stay near the top, I'm running one of your roms and it's great, thanks!

Thank you VERY much for all your time & hard work. It is much appreciated.

awesome work bud! Thanks so much for this stuff..
this thread should be stickied!!

Your the man!!!!

Muchas gracias summiter for your wisdom and help.

Summiter:
You do great work. I'm a real Noobie. I'm now using the QTEK WWE TEST ROM 2.8 . . .something. I have a cingular 8125 phone but using T-Mobile USA service. I'm flashed the Test ROM to get the A2DP and AVRCP profiles. It works OK but it hangs especially when going from switching from GPRS to Wifi and back (I have to soft reset the device.)
Which of your ROMs would work the best for me? By looking at the list the 2.17 I-mate with A2DP and AVRCP seem to look the best.
Thanks for all the good work.

RE: upgrade to the May 2nd "repaired" version
Thanx summitter. I used an older file (May 2, 2006 download) ----
Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP-fixed.exe
I assume this is the same as the latest one in the directory ---
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/
Mine said 54m on the FTP site and wound up about 56,301k on my PC.
Assuming i have the same one, i should already have Compact Net Framework 2. So, the question is: did i screw this up when -----
1. downloaded the .msi file for WiFiFoFum. About 7mb file with NET Compact Framework 2 (via USB Active Sync connection).
2. Tried to install the app. First it loaded WiFiFoFum successfully. Stopped about 1/3 during NET Compact Framework 2 install.
3. After numerous tries, i removed the both. Even deleted the new additional directory of NET Compact Framework 2.
4. The loaded the .CAB version of WiFiFoFum (which was only 300k and did not have NET Compact Framework). Seems to be working fine.
Could i have removed NET Compact Framework from my system? Is there anyway to tell if it still is loaded?
Everything seems to be working. Wifi, Bluetooth, GPRS, and even a little program that pushes all audio to my BT headset.
Thoughts anyone?

MSFP Problem...
Has anyone been able to get the ota push side of MSFP to work w/ Cingular in the US and the MSFP version of this rom upgrade?
Thanks!

Once again thanks Summiter. Can't wait to see what you have cookin' up next. I now have two Bluetooth Stereo Headsets and am waiting on the Nextlink Spider to make it my third. All thanks to you. Moto HT820 and Jabra BT620.

Zoki hack needed with this ROM?
Based on 2.17 iMate ROM, but with additional ringers, themes, overclocking app, Compact Framework 2, and A2DP/AVRCP:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.exe
Hi Summiter/ any one who have installed this Rom,
I have installed the last ROM in this thread.
Do we need Tornado hack cab files done by Zoki in other threads in order to get the bluetooth stereo with this ROM. or we are good to go with this ROM. Because in this version I could not see any sbc or b2a2dp or avrcp_ files as given by the zoki version.
Thanks

Noob Question here
I unlocked my phone and got ready to install the 2.17. Then I saw the warning that it would erase all the info on the device. I'm sure once I do a quick activestink after the boot, I'll get all my contacts back. But will I have to reset all of my other settings (email, gprs, etc.). I just got the phone last week and have already spent literally hours on the phone with Cingular's tech support sorting out all sorts of issues (like not being able to connect to gprs and voice mail not working, which was their problem I think). Thanks in advance.

10 print "bump"
20 goto 10

Ok,
I unlocked the phone and cid using lokwiz and then flashed the rom with the ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.exe version. Not sure if it worked though. The battery icon disappeared, but I don't see the overclocking feature or any additional ringers or themes. It shows the ROM version as 1.8.11.1 WWE and the ROM Date at 11/24/05. Radio version is 2.07.10. Did it update? I get the sneaky suspicion that it didn't.
I did see it load the A2DP cab after the reboot, but don't have the headset to test it yet. How do I tell if it worked?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you do the super unlock, not just the regular one. Otherwise it only flashes halfway

Thanks. I'm pretty sure that's the one I did. I'll try again, though I'll probably wait until Summiter gets the next ROM out later this week. I flashed it twice today and am ready to take a break from it.
BTW, thanks for all the hard work Summiter.

Where are the cab files located after I flash the unit?
Where are the cab files located after I flash the unit, so I can install the extra features included with it ?

i will have to say thank you to summiter for the rom we have used it at my work and we are very happy with it.

8125 AKU 2.2 ROM has been posted on HTC America

http://www.htcamerica.net/docs/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
This ROM is AKU 2.2, if I understand the numbers correctly.

On your marks, get set, go!!!
So is there supposed to be anything in this official ROM that is an improvement over summitter's latest?
BTW, I have summitter's 2.3 test 2 but when I go to device info the Rom version is 2.24.10.1WWE. I am guessing this is because it is based on the leaked version from Cingular but would like to confirm this.

It's a corrupted file. I tried downloading it last night and again today just to confirm.. Doesn't seem to be able to get past a certain point before it errors out stating that it's corrupted.
If anyone has gotten it to work, I"d be interested in hearing about it though..

Just downloaded it fine this way no issues, not installed it as i run a UK phone and being new here, and new to the imate systems dont know if it work or not
I kepted it on my comp so if someone needs it i can upload to a server to download for others.
Just send me a PM and i upload.

Keep trying until your downloaded file is about 51MB.

It does appear to be corrupted. It only shows 39MB when it should be 51MB. Strange.

If anyone can post the real file to the ftp that would be greatly appreciated. I can't get it to download correctly.

This is about par for cingular

Yep looks like mines only downloaded 39.1 meg in size sorry.

I think they're re-uploading the file now, because I'm downloading it repeatedly, and the file size keeps increasing. Shouldn't be more than another few minutes before the full file is there. Last I checked it was at over 37 megs.
EDIT: The file is complete, 50.0 megs. I'm finishing up applying the update now.

The link to the ROM is now gone entirely from the HTC download page.
Sumptin's up.

Ignore the fact that the link is gone, the URL at the beginning of this thread still works and points to the now completely re-uploaded file.

And it does work.. I just finished the update, and am in the process of a final soft reset after the Cingular app install..

Yeah, I'm all finished with the install and have started to reconfigure my phone. Unfortunately, I'm at work and don't have my apps here.

idownload and installation complete
so far so good. i am testing it right now.
installed no problem.
the screen for installation showed a more square version of the wizard.
"x-cingular. raising the bar" logo on bootup
it has got some new programs and fetures like.
goodlink - real-time push synchronization of email attachments, and PIM data
get express mail - email for corporate, personal mail while on the go.
dont ask me how to use them, its just there.
the rom version is 2.25.11.1 WWE
rom date: 5/11/06
radio version : 02.25.11
protocol version: 4.1.13.12
extROM version : 2.25.11.102
so far looks to be running faster then normal, but that could be coz its a clean install.

Seems to be working well here. Definitely faster. Will report as more tangible things become apparent. Comm manager has a much nicer look and feel and acquiring an IP address on my wireless network is much quicker.

TRANSPARENCY FOR BACKGROUND PICTURE

8125 new rom

Is there a verison of the 2.25 rom for cingular that works with the bt sterio headsets. Or will the one from cingular work fine. Right now a am running 2.17 which works well, but I do drop more calls now, not much more but some.

I see you've fixed that caps LOCK PROblem. ;-)
You can have A2DP on any ROM you wish, if you search for, and install the cab file which is floating around here.

Summiter's AKU 2.3 ROM will work with native support for A2DP and it already has a number of Cingular customizations installed. If you just want "out of the box support" that works well.
If you prefer an older version of the ROM (some claim they are more stable) summiter has also integrated A2DP support in some of his AKU 2.x ROMs.
I'd suggest reading the threads on the custom Cingualr ROMs for more info.

I hope someone has tried this before me... if not I will try to update you on later posts.

*!A2DP hack.cab (included in the post)
Note: Just to let you all know that all my hardware and software was working prior to me updating to the latest code.
Procedure to Upgrade:
Backup:
Download and extract the aWizard-V1_3beta2 utility and execute.
Select the "e" option to Enable RAPI (Run this after each hard reset)
Select the "b" option to backup Radio, OS and Extended ROM
Syncronize the device to you PC before you start the upgrade!!!!
Upgrade:
Run the RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe and follow the insturctions on the screen.
Yes... Your data will be gone.... This is why you Sync'ed before you started.
Install Software (usb):
First start by installing the A2DP cab file by copying it to your device and execute it from the device. I checked before and after and where as i did not have the A2DP option before I did notice it after this was installed. (Sorry, since I have no A2DP head sets I can't test, but will try in the weekend).
I installed all the softwar again and it all works fine so far, we'll see tomorow when it get's put to some use. You will have the choice of either re-installing all of the programs like you did the first time you got the software or you could open the MS ActiveSync 4.1 and select ONE BY ONE and restore them to your device. I have read of problems from some people who selected all of the programs at once and did the re-install... don't do it.
Configure and Test:
I tested the WiFi and I actualy have a better reception using a less stronger signall from the antena options ( I hope this means more play time!). I was actualy very easy this time than on the previouse stock Rom. Again, do not change any settings on you WiFi router, you will need the login information to the router to establish the connection again, I forgot mine and had to look in the routers security settings to get that back again (one minuite tops!).
I tested BT and that works like a charm too! I re-syncronized to my laptop without a problem. Again don't make any changes to your previously working BT enabled PC. If it worked before IT should work now. You will need to establish the BT security connection to you BT enabled PC. Once you accept the connection on you PC, go to your device (8125) and open the ActiveSync manager and from the bottom right-hand menu select the "Connect via Bluetooth". I also connected to my BT headset (Logitek) and works like a charm too! That's IT!
Right now I have WiFi, BT, and TCPMP and the audio and vidio is not skipping nor is the video choppy! I hope that the A2DP works!
And for those of you who did not notice I did this all without ulocking the 8125. So it's still in warranty! Well, let me dream that it is for a while before you tell me it isn't.
Thank you all, good night and good luck!

Of course, since you didn't CID unlock before you upgraded you're now stuck with a CID lock (unless you want to pay cash money for the unlock service).
It's best to CID unlock regardless while still on a 1.xx ROM so that if you do ever decide to upgrade to a custom ROM you can. If you don't CID unlock before upgrading to the official 2.25 ROM you remove the possibility of later getting a CID unlock for free.

There will be a way..... Maybe not now, but being able to unlock the CID will come with time. In any case, can I not go back to 1.8.xx rom, unlock it, then skip back to any rom I want? I've read of several people that have gone back to 1.8.xx, is this not true?
I wrote this because there are a number of us who do not want to run the custom roms, I am not a Cingular employ or know of one that would enable me to test roms and exchange my phone for a new one if I did toast mine. So for those of us that want to stay in the box, there's this.

Select the "e" option to Enable RAPI (Run this after each hard reset)
Select the "b" option to backup Radio, OS and Extended ROM
Syncronize the device to you PC before you start the upgrade!!!!
Upgrade:
Run the RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe and follow the insturctions on the screen.
Yes... Your data will be gone.... This is why you Sync'ed before you started.
Install Software (usb):
First start by installing the A2DP cab file by copying it to your device and execute it from the device. I checked before and after and where as i did not have the A2DP option before I did notice it after this was installed. (Sorry, since I have no A2DP head sets I can't test, but will try in the weekend).
I installed all the softwar again and it all works fine so far, we'll see tomorow when it get's put to some use. You will have the choice of either re-installing all of the programs like you did the first time you got the software or you could open the MS ActiveSync 4.1 and select ONE BY ONE and restore them to your device. I have read of problems from some people who selected all of the programs at once and did the re-install... don't do it.
Configure and Test:
I tested the WiFi and I actualy have a better reception using a less stronger signall from the antena options ( I hope this means more play time!). I was actualy very easy this time than on the previouse stock Rom. Again, do not change any settings on you WiFi router, you will need the login information to the router to establish the connection again, I forgot mine and had to look in the routers security settings to get that back again (one minuite tops!).
I tested BT and that works like a charm too! I re-syncronized to my laptop without a problem. Again don't make any changes to your previously working BT enabled PC. If it worked before IT should work now. You will need to establish the BT security connection to you BT enabled PC. Once you accept the connection on you PC, go to your device (8125) and open the ActiveSync manager and from the bottom right-hand menu select the "Connect via Bluetooth". I also connected to my BT headset (Logitek) and works like a charm too! That's IT!
Right now I have WiFi, BT, and TCPMP and the audio and vidio is not skipping nor is the video choppy! I hope that the A2DP works!
And for those of you who did not notice I did this all without ulocking the 8125. So it's still in warranty! Well, let me dream that it is for a while before you tell me it isn't.
Thank you all, good night and good luck!

Cingular 8125 - ROM Upgrade Help

I want to upgrade to latest ROM and whatnot.... Im confused what file to download. Important everything works faster and better and bluetooth headset. Its running stock Cingular from day that I bought it... right when it became for sale.... please let me know what to download and install... latest most stable ROM and everything else thats required.....
Thanks!!!

in my opinion...
The best ROM that I've installed on my MDA is the Mr. Clean 2.24a Mr. Clean

02.25.11 Radio version
Great GSM reception and recovery, it loads super fast, the functions are also smooth and fast, WiFi is perfect...lightning fast!!!!
You can find it in the forum of XDA upgrades and more stuff.

It's seriously awesome.
Remember that you need to CID unlock your phone first, and then it will work like a charm.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

How different from the cingular same version one?
TIA

here are the differences
It doesn't have any of the Cingular logos, settings or anything that is pre-programmed. You have to put in your own settins, and there aren't any annoying settins such as MediaNet which launches when you try to connect via WiFi to the internet, and you know they charge you money for any kb transferred.
It's easy to create your own GPRS connections without any settings already there, and you have a cleaner running OS in the device.
I simply love it and recommend it. 8)

I'm in the same boat as HDD, I have the following specs
8125
ipl : 1.08
spl : 1.08
gsm : 01.16.11
os : 1.8.11.1
currently sim unlocked by lokiwiz0.3 and I about to CID-unlock with lokiwiz 0.2b. The question i have now is if I put in Mr. Clean 2.24a will I be able to go back to a Cingular ROM? or If i put in say Cingular's latest rom, or Tmobile's 2.26 will I be able to go back factory state.
From my searches, anything >= 2.21 roms will not be able to CID unlocked, so still wondering if I should upgrade....

yes you can
You will be able to; as long as the CID is unlocked.
