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

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

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

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

I currently have an 8125 that was flashed with the imate 2.16.9.1 WWE ROM.
I was just wondering if any of the newer ROMs out there would be worth upgrading to?
I dont need any customazations like fonts or ringers. Just maybe an AKU2 rom (ms push); wich most are now anyways.
Im just looking for speed; and maybe a better radio version.
My computer crashed a while back so ive been out of whats hot/not in the ROMs lately.
Any suggestions about newer roms that would be faster/better would be great.
Oh btw, i guess to prevent installation of the EXT rom you just soft reset before it loads?
Thanks.
BTW - ive done alot of post reading but still havent found a good topic on current roms and whats good/bad about them.
Bump- it would be nice if after 22 views that someone had something to say positive.
Thanks.

yeah, thas correct. you hit up the softrest right before it starts customizing, when it pops up that message box.
im using the latest official qtek rom, and it's stellar. definitely ran into the unreliable alarm bug for the first time, but as i understand it, thats not a single-rom issue, but rather is universal.
i say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. the only change i could suggest is going to qtek 208 test, which is a mite slower but supports bluetoof a2dp.
Just a teaser for everyone..sorry cant post the rom yet because i dont have it yet. But expect it soon.
Anymore info?
yea, like a2dp? push? carmen electra spash screen?
you tease. when can we expect this holy grail?
Hopefully soon. I am trying to convince the guy that gave me those pic to send me the rom now.
I take it this is an official Cingular ROM?
Yes..!!!
Ummmmm.....where is it?
I want it!!
If someone really gets their grubby little hands on it, could they please try to test whether the device will vibrate on the receipt of email while in standby?
Can't wait for this to finally come out - and then for some of the creative folks here to cook up an even better version of the ROM

Since Cingular has waited so long I'm hoping they have implemented AKU2.2 instead of the standeard AKU2.0. That way we can change the stupid battery icon back to time.
Hopefully we will see something today.

Just wishful thinking, I like to think positive about this stuff.
Also, I have an addiction of re flashing my wizard. It has been a while since I've had an excuse to put a new ROM on it.
It would be nice to have it to play with.
And I'd like to get ahold of it to build some custom ROMs. I suspect Cingular is close to pushing it out..

question:
is there really reason to believe that CID unlocking the stock Cingular 8125 will cause a problem or prevent the installation of this 'official' ROM update?? That is, will all the folks here who have flashed with summiter's 2.17 ROM be unable to flash with the official 2.23? I read that mentioned as a possibility. I don't get it... pleas explain why this might be the case, and if so, can the device be re-CID locked to allow 'official' updates to be applied?

I don't expect it will be an issue, primarily because Cingular would have to create, or rather ask HTC to create, a mechanism that no other carrier or reseller has. That sort of thing costs money and time, and I don't see a big enough motivator.
Also, it would be trivial to tear open the new ROM and remove the carrier ID.
As for CID unlocking, if you saved the output files from aWizard, you can re-lock the device.
I'm sick of this teasing......

Define "Best". Your definition is most likely going to be different than mine. So your needs and wants will not match mine... You need to just take the time to read and look at the options. If you want a ROM that gives you new features and pretty much works right out of the box then stay away from all of the WM6 ROMs for now and go grab Faria's AKU 3.3 (its a sticky at the top). It will setup your GPRS, MMS, and everythign and you'll pretty much be ready to rock and roll when you finish the install (beyond specific apps you use, but some of those (or similar) may already be there too). Its stable, quick and slick.
But if you want Bleeding edge, don't mind doing tweaks and dealing with odd issues, then look at the WM6 ROMs. Currently Most Beautiful Edition (MBE) is the one I run and am overall happy with it (its not perfect though and I find new odd things with it periodically). The Underground edition also seems good, and a new release is supposed to be coming. Also, the Hermes XDA Live ROM is supposed to be being ported and could show up at any time (and from what I've read, that is a really nice ROM on the Hermes, so hopefully will be as good for us on the Wizard).
And with all that said, don't for get the various Molski ROMs out there too. I haven't tried one yet, but everyone that uses them raves about them...

lol sorry about that, i just switched to the htc wizzard, lol im not that of a noob!
Just wondering why you guys are not waiting until MS officially releases WM6 instead of installing this beta/pre-release? Wouldn't it be better (and cleaner) to let MS fix all the bugs and issues?
I don't know if that will happen, it depends on the carrier. They bake their own ROMs after MS does all the coding. The 8525 is out so it seems like that would get WM6 first.
I would like it to happen and look forward to it though.

I'll second that...in fact, after some 3rd party app compatibility issues with wm6, I flashed back to my beloved SuperRom...been running it for months, have a crapload of apps installed and still have room and speeds!! It is not completely stripped, but it is comfortably vanilla--no apps no one wants or needs, and extended folders to add some items after install. And the dialpad is damned sexy, as is the today screen theme.
**I will say, that on my Tmo MDA, superrom does freeze up once or twice a week, but a soft reset cures this, and isn't so much of an issue that I want to trash it for a different rom!!**

my first rom flash was xelencin's 2.26. he has the unlocking tool built into the rom upgrade, so it was good to run it along with lokiwiz's unlocker. the rom is generally stable and pretty much has the basic t-mobile setup from the official t-mobile 2.26, just minus some useless add on's.

I called cingular tonight because i have been trying to get my 750 paired with my tom tom one 3rd edition for use of the weather updates and cameras and such. Through conversation with a support representative, and trying to troubleshoot why it couldn't use the wireless connection of the phone, the representative asked me to check a few things on my phone. While answering some questions, one of which was about device software and such and i told him i had windows mobile 6 installed.
From this point on he led into reasons why i should be using it with out it being released and such which is to be expected. He also stated that doing to much to the phone can possibly make the phone upgradable when the real WM6 update is released. This he mentioned were changing the boot loader, IPL and SPL software in the phone, that and using bogus releases of software. The reason being he said was that the soon to be released update probes the phone deeply because everything has been updated including the boot loader stuff.
Now i cant confirm or deny any truth to these statements but the only thing i had done with mine was a try a few new firmwares but after my conversation with them i quickly reverted back to WM5.
here is a link to get it if anyone is interested in doing the same. Download either or, they are the same. included is the cheeimg.nbh and the cheediag.nbh. the cheediag.nbh wont complete is you have othere that cingular WM5 on ur cingular treo 750.

I think Olipro's response covers the reality of this mighty fine. There's really only one scenario where you could do something and not be able to change or revert, and that has to do with the radio.
If you put a Hermes radio on the Treo, you won't be able to change it ever again until a hack is worked up. The Hermes radio does a bit of authentication with the SPL using a function that is the Hermes SPLs, but not in the Cheetah SPL.
I'm currently stuck in this situation unfortunately..

this is why i am not doing the Hard SPL unlock bit. I mean it is great that someone has the smarts to make this work but honestly it took thousands of man hours and engineers to make these phones and the software in them. I believe honestly software has gotten like the pharmacutical industry, so many side affects and there is know way the one person who wrote this can adaquately predict what will happen on every phone. SOmetimes it is better to just leave alone.
oh and think you guys should post what side affects you know of in regards to using the HARD-SPL. I think a lot of people are gonna be pissed if they used that and cannot get the AT&T update to install on thier phones when it comes out.. I smell some future legal problems here.
Ok I'm feeling a bit dense today, are you saying if I have the leaked AT&T WM 6 rom installed on my Treo it won't be able to update to the official release?
Naw, no one is saying that. You can install whatever updates you want, including future updates. Don't pay attention to folks who haven't been 'round here long or the misguided/misinformed ramblings of a Cingular tech support cubicle jockey.

I suggest you read up on the world of HTC devices (the Treo is made by HTC) to get some helpful insight into bootloaders, radios, OS ROMs, etc. The Hermes upgrading forum would be a good place to start - the Hermes is very similar to the Treo.
The only "side effects" are this:
-the patched bootloader will not allow itself to be overwritten by a carrier ROM update. The patched bootloader is what allows a cooked (unsigned) ROM to be flashed.
-the patched bootloader will let you flash a Hermes radio to the device if you are so inclined. Right now this is a bad move since the Hermes radios have a radio bootloader which requires authentication from the main bootloader (SPL), and this isn't supported by the main bootloader. End result - if you flash a Hermes radio, you'll be stuck with it, perhaps forever.
Palm, HTC, and carriers will always give you a scripted response when it comes to running modified code on your device. Their responses are designed to discourage folks from bricking or otherwise fouling up their device and then running to Palm or the carriers for help. You'll get a clear picture of the risks and realities here on these forums.

Talk about contradictory...you're mighty confusing my friend.
Anyway, you've happened upon a site dedicated to modifying devices via cooked OS's and patched device code so they can "do neat things". Perhaps you'd find the various Treo user sites closer to your needs...Treocentral is a good one.
