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.

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.
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
2.24.10.1 WWE
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.
Here's the link:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224a_AKU23_WWE.zip
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.

« cooked by xelencin - 08/16/06 »
Keep in mind that flashing to an unoffical ROM voids your warranty. I am in no way responsible for any issues you may come accross when attempting to update your ROM. Please keep your questions/concerns with the ROM within this thread instead of creating a new one or messaging me directly. These ROM's are xelencin built, community supported.
« File Name »
T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2261020_226_22511_ENG_US.exe
« ROM Versions »
IPL: 2.26
SPL: 2.26
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.26.10.2
« Description »
This ROM is based off of the offical T-Mobile USA 2.26 AKU 2.3 ROM. The ROM installer will attempt to automatically CID-unlock your device just as my previous releases did. I went through all of the T-Mobile customnizations and stripped them down keeping only what was needed. This IS the cleanest ROM you will find for T-Mobile USA.
If you have any issues upgrading to this ROM I would advise downgrading to the origional T-Mobile 1.08 ROM first and then try installing this one again.
This will be my final ROM release for the T-Mobile USA MDA as I no longer own the device. For inspiring chef's, the custom T-Mobile CAB's I created should work perfectly fine with future ROM releases. It's been fun and the community following has been great, expect to see my name again if I own another device that uses Windows Mobile.
« Extended ROM Contents »
Certificatin_Disable.cab - Disables certification requirement for CAB installers.
Intent_MIDlet_manager.cab - Adds the missing Java MIDlet manager to the device. *Can be uninstalled.

Enjoy!
Holy Schnikes! I almost installed the T-mob rom, but thought I'd come back here for one more check. Thanks so much Xelencin. You've been a great asset to this community.
G4 owners pls read!
For G4 owners out there(*)
Your phone cannot be CID unlocked with xelencin automatic procedure so you won't be able to install this rom if your phone is CID locked (all phones are factory locked).
Also, do not try installing 1.08 rom as suggested or you will irrimediably brick your device!!!
If you own a G4 model you have two choices:
1- CID unlock it using some online sites' tool (you must pay for it)
2- 'cook' a modified xelencin rom by removing the IPL and SPL parts. to do this, follow the tutorial i posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
(*) how to tell if you own a G4 model: soft reset the phone and look at the strings in the upper left quarter of the screen: if you have IPL 2.xx.0001 and SPL 2.xx.0001 then you have a G4. G3 models, instead, would have only 2.xx without .0001 as version number.
Thank you Xelecin. Been waiting this for a while. It's great to have your ROM's here.
I have a small question, I upgraded from the stock 1.08 ROM to Xelecin's 2.24 ROM through the installer which also featured the CID unlocker. Should I have to do the CID unlock again? If I remember right CID unlock is like death, only once. Am I right?
file is missing
xelencin,
The file is not in the directory. Any hopes of having it uploaded again? I hope you enjoy the SKIII, I know the community is losing a great chef.

Thanks! I enjoyed your last custom rom (2.24) without any problems whatsoever. So, i'm eager to use this one as well.
One question for anyone who can answer, what is the recommended program to backup all my stuff and restore once I'm upgraded the rom, or do you recommend that I just start fresh and install everything all over again manually (my current installed progs) ???
HELP!!! after update new rom
Hi After updating to the new rom, the mobile is very very slow and cant recognise the USB. so i cant charge it or go back to the old rom, the battery indicator is allways on charge altough the device is not connected to the usb or the power, and when going to status, it says battery unknown, can anyone please help, i cant use the phone.
It seems that the GPRS/Data settings alone aren't installing properly with this release. I am going to have to package a new install with the proper settings and I'll also release an extended ROM only install to update for those who have already or will be installing this one.

I Installed the 2.26 ROM on my Cingular 8125, ran the Cingular Customizations and reg tricks. Everything is great and running fast!
Thanks.
I'll wait for the update, before installing this one.
This one doesn't seem to have that little communications menu where you can turn on/off bluetooth, gprs, directpush mail, phone, and wifi. It used to be on the bottom right corner where if u click there, that menu comes up.
What happened to this feature?
I forgot.. I also wanted to thank you, xelencin for your hard work on this. You did this completely for us and didn't have to. I truly appreciate it - as I'm sure the rest of us here do as well.
Without you continuing to make these awesome roms, I'll end up having to switch to a new device soon before the year is over.
My own CAB with cellular settings
Could anybody give me instructions or links, how to make my own CAB for GPRS connection (modem, access point, user name, password, internet enabled, etc).
After each ROM upgrade I have to enter connection settings manually.
Thanks in advance
Ok guys, I uploaded this to RapidShare in case anyone wants it a little quicker...
EDIT: Here is an updated link with the rom fixed by Xelecin.
http://rapidshare.de/files/29778984/T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2261020_226_22511_ENG_US.exe
After you click on the link above, scroll down, click on free, then wait a number of seconds to count down. Then the link will appear.
So much for a smooth final ROM release. As some of you noticed the T-Mobile_Network_Customizations.cab file was not installing properly, this was due to a little snytax error I made.
For anyone downloading the ROM at this point you are fine as I updated it, if you downloaded it prior to me posting this message then you need to run the fix below to reflash your extended rom. After running this I would either A) hard reset or B) browse to \extended_rom\Autorun in Total Commander and launch T-Mobile_Network_Customizations.cab and then soft reset.
http://xelencin.shackspace.com/wizard/T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2261020_EXTROM_FIX.exe
This is only required IF your ROM installer readme.doc lists a date of 08/16/06. If the date listed is 08/17/06 then this fix is already included and you are fine.
Thanks to the wise Dr Puttingham, I was able to unlock the CID on my device. I have the Cingular 8125 and am using it with T-Mobile. I don't need a data plan as I am usually around a Wi-Fi signal. I mainly use the phone for SMS and calls, and some of the other perks (i.e. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Games,). I was wondering what would be a good ROM that I could install, that boots up quick? I currently have the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE ROM installed, but the key mapping on the keyboard isnt accurate with this rom for my device. Could you guys recommend a fast and stable ROM for the 8125? Thanks in advance!
PapaPrem, the 1.05 downgrade was only to be able to unlock your device! There are quite a number of fine ROM's here that you're now able to enjoy. As for you being on the T-Mobile network I'd suggest perhaps xelencin's most excellent ROM T-Mobile USA 2.26 Custom ROM (Wizard/MDA)
If you decide to go for a cleaner ROM and then configure your own GPRS, that's always an option!
You're free !
I am in need of a stock T-Mobile ROM for the MDA (not sure which # is the latest) I was trying some of the custom builds here based on Windows Mobile 6.1 but wanted to get back to a stock 5.0 or 6 - but obviously I went and got the wrong one...
I am having an issue with connecting to the network to make calls on this MDA too, so I don't really want to walk into the T-Mo store with a cingular splash screen on it when I go to get a new SIM!
Thanks in advance.
go to www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade and you should find it there.
