I had fiva wm6 and was geting werid battery issues i went from battery lasting 2 days to a mater of hours plus the os would randomly reset in phone calls so i decide to downgrade to the T-mobile 2.26 then to a custom wm5 rom but when i went to flash with the custom rom and i notices that it was still seeing the wm6 rom on the device even though the device was in wm5 any ideas on how to fix this try reflashing many times with diffent wm5 roms and it still carrying the battery issues i was having with wm6 iam going to try flash with wm6 in a few mins then down again
battery issues i been haveing battery randomly saying battery level higher then it was
phone crashing in a phone call and wont boot till i put the charger to it and then it boot up and says it at 98 %
phone randomly every 6 to 12 hrs shuts off and reboot with higher battery level
,,,,s & ....s ???
are you cid unlocked?
i think it's common for the battery to report slightly higher after a soft reset
yeah iam cid unlock
try the button rom and then the rom you want
whats the button rom? and were can i get it
if you truly are cid unlocked you should know what it is - cid lock is not sim lock.
anyway the link is in my sig.
well i didnt use the button rom to cid unlock i used a cooked rom and it made me cid unlock before it flashed

i am only aware of one way to cid unlock, and that is faria's sticky ( dr P simplified it in another sticky - in my sig).
i believe that some roms may flash to a non cid unlocked device, but the behaviour you are talking about, sounds like you have not cid unlocked

i had ipl/spl 2.25. i tried to flash with g3 since it doesnt touch the bootloader part. i would freeze @ 98% (btw my device is CID locked/SIM unlocked). so i tried to load original cingular ROM (RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe) but it always stops @ 80%. the bar goes red n it doesnt do anything. i tried multiple times n still no go. is my device bricked? or is there still a chance of getting back everything. lmk otherwise im gonna have to RMA it.
thanks
d
anyone? i really need to get it back working,.
how long are you waiting? most roms hang around the 94-98% for a few minutes, then go.. also when the bar is red that means its writing, just be patient... if all else fails try an official rom
shogunmark thank you for your reply. i waited n the bar moved on until i was able complete the flash with cing original rom. now if i want to upgrade/downgrade ROM on a CID locked device (2.25 IPL/SPL) (since lokiwiz isnt able to CID unlock 2.xx verisons) what r my options?
so far from what ive read on forums the options are as follow:
get the CID taken off by some company on the web.
cook ur own roms n remove the bootlader parts n then install (rsiadro - sorry if i mispelled the user name)
also is it ok to upgrade SPL/IPS on a CID locked device as long as the version is higher than the current? am i right here?
any news on lokiwiz cid unlocking 2.xx devices?
thank you again
i really must work it out before next week since im on tmobile using slow cing rom
ok so i kinda f'ed up my phone..
the specs are
IPL:1.08
SPL:1.08
OS:1.8.11.1
and i decided to flash the radio rom 2.47.11 and now it freezes when i try to enter in my password at start up..i read that what i need to do is get it into bootloader and flash a 2.x rom on it but when i try to pres the reset button and the 2 buttons on the right side it just normally starts up..also how would i upgrade to a 2.x rom..or is there any way to downgrade back to the stock radio rom? also my phone is unlocked
thanks
keith
edit:
could i downlod the RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe rom and flash that onto my phone and have it work...still cant figure out how to get the bootloader screen to come up
yes after doing some more reading i realized i had to hold down the camera button and the start button until the bootloader came up..then i just pluged it in and ran the radio rom of 1.x and it worked yea!! mbe later i will try to upgrade the rom lol
CID unlock it while it is still working with your current ROM
IPL:1.08
SPL:1.08
OS:1.8.11.1
Then stick Molskis G3 ROM on it and you will be sorted.

woudl i be able to go to htc.com and upgrade do the rom upgrade there without havin to cid unlock?
Yes, you can upgrade a Cing 8125 with the officially released Rom (as posted on HTC's Website) without CID unlocking your device.
i do not need to upgrade the IPL/SPL first since i have 1.08?

Official Rom Updates include the IPL/SPL. If you download and flash the Cingular 2.25 Rom you will have IPL/SPL 2.25 after the flash.
is that good or would i want to cid unlock my phone first?

Keith,
If you plan to install cooked Roms then you should CID unlock your phone. Technically CID Unlocking voids your warranty (though I had no problems getting warranty exchange on two previous phones that were CID unlocked).
The main reason to CID Unlock is that you can then install most (generally all) Roms that exist for your device. The only exception would be a G4 only Rom (which has the G4 IPL/SPL only) as your phone is a G3.
If you don't CID unlock then you can't install non-cingular Roms that include IPL/SPL so basically you would have to cook your own Rom if T-Mobile released an OS update that you wanted to use.
I would suggest you do some more reading before you CID unlock or flash anything else to your device.
ok bro thanks for the detailed explanation. I will.def do a lot more reading before I flash my phone or cid unlock it..this is a great forum full of useful information

I was doing the cid unlock process, and the downgrade stopped at 98 percent on the phone, and 99 percent on the computer, then the bootloader program closed it self. Now when I turn on my 8125 i have a red green and blue screen with ipl and spl at 2.25. what can i do now? thanks in advance guys.

Re-connect your device to your PC, on that Red/Blue/Green screen, called the bootloader, does it say USB in the bottom left? If so, flash your device with your carriers latest official ROM. You can not use a custom ROM. Once your back up and running, try the CID unlock process again.
yeah i did that, got back to cingular 2.25. i am trying to downgrade again but it still doesnt work. phone stops at 98 percent, computer stops at 99. whats going on? any ideas?
thanks by the way
jeb
How long is it hanging at 98%? Most ROMS do hang around that time, but typicaly not more than a few minutes.
Read the following thread for downgrading, and un-locking. your G3 device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
Thanks to Dr. P
i am following that to the T but during the first downgrade it will hang at 98 percent for well over 30 min. then i give up, unhook the phone, go to bootloader screen and load the cingular 2.25 to get going again.

update on the brick
here is an update.
i bricked it.
jacob walked me through several steps and i think i may have had a g4 phone, but some how the ipl and spl was reading 2.25
btw this phone came to me through the cingular warranty program. so luckely i still have my old 8125 that i was turning in for cosmetic reasons.
so bottom line,
i could not flash to 1.05
tried to cid unlock anyways ...... failed
tried to flash molskis anyways ....failed
tried to turn a phone into a brick.PASS
now its time to turn this one in for another one. hopefully ill get a g3 this time
Instead of flashing to 1.05 next time, try downgrading to the Cingular 1.18 rom. I used it to downgrade and had no problems with unlocking.
If you can get to the multicolored screen (bootloader mode) its not bricked!
When I first installed a rom I did not understand the difference in sim unlock and cid unlock...I ran a rom update that was supposed to do a cid unlock but it didn't support the 2.XX rom....later I found you had to downgrade to a 1.xx version for lokiwiz to work..then go back to 2.xx...anyway..I ended up with a phone that would only go to bootloader.
I was able to get my providers rom reinstalled..then I did what everyone always says is the first thing you should do...I used the patched version of teraterm to dump my rom to a minisd card.
Now if I fubar the phone as long as I can get to the bootloader screen (even if usb is not working) all I have to do is insert that minisd, turn on the phone and click YES when it asks if I want to load from minisd.
I highly recommend that EVERYONE make a backup to restore to before doing anything to their phone..it only takes a few minutes.
Hows it going guys this is my first post....ive had so many problems since switching to cingular with my tmobile MDA its hillarious!...i unlocked the MDA...got it too work with Cingular! I thought everything was perfect untill i realized i couldnt receive any text messages from any other carriers. Meaning if i used my cousins cingular phone to text my phone it would work....if i used my sprint phone...nothing would reach my phone...so i serched n applied all kind of cingular MMS GPRS settings .CAB files still nothing. If i put my SIM into an offical cingular phone the same thing happens...so now im hoping if i put the cingular rom on my phone it will make things better.. I need to downgrade first because every CID tool i use wont work but i found out its because i have 2.25 so basically does anyone have an old 1.XX offical T-Mobile ROM backed up anywhere or know how i can receive all text messages from all carriers?? Thanks
welcome...and in the future if you take a few minutes to read the stickies and wiki, you may very well get your answer.
the following link is to a sticky which links to button's 1.05 rom.

well thanks for the help but when i try installing that rom it locks up at 98% everytime and gives me an error....is this becaise of that CID thing is still locked????
Did you follow that tutorial step by step??? I had no problems with the button rom so I am not sure. I myself followed that tutorial when I recently unlocked my MDA and it went without a hitch...make sure you run lokiwiz twice and button twice. Not sure what else to tell you...sorry.

No, the Button rom is for the purpose of unlocking and is a really low IPL/SPL which was before the CID locking stuff was around.
I've read on another post that someone was having problems flashing the button rom like you are, and they were finally able to flash it by changing their radio rom first (I don't know if they had one of the newer radio's or what). Doesn't make sense to me as I've never seen that before, but what they heck, you could try downgrading to like the 2.19 T-Mo UK radio to see if that helps.
Also, have you tried flashing the T-Mobile 2.26 rom to your phone? Since this is an MDA and you are running Cingular 2.25 it sounds to me like you were already CID Unlocked (and you don't have to downgrade again to switch carrier roms, just switch).
It also is best to remove your sd card when doing the downgrading procedure.
I'm at wits end and have been trying to do this for weeks straight. It's driving me nuts. First, I read ALL 36 pages of the thread The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435) and all of thread SOLUTION FOUND -CID/sim UNLOCKING FOR WIZARD WITH AKU2 ROMS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116). Both refer to downgrading to (ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe). It always freezes at 98%. I tried different computers, cleared my Temp files, rebooted the phone and PC.. I tried all this over a dozen time and had to revert back to the factory ROM a dozen times. I even tried xelencin's ROM (T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2261020_226_22511_ENG_US.exe) which has a built in CID unlocker and it froze at 98% too!! It didn't unlock my CID either. It's working for everyone else who has Cingular or Tmobile phones, but I think since mine is directly from the factory, it's different. Is there any other ROM I can downgrade to 1.X or a way to CID unlock with my 2.17 (G3 phone). At this point I'm wore out of ideas and will try anything. I would greatly appreciate any help and experiences.
All flashing stalls for a while in different parts of the process showing the red bar in your phone (even @100% in the progress bar), how long have you left the phone in "freezing" status? May be you aren´t giving it enough time...?
try a different computer if its possible, i tried downgrading to button's rom like 10 times on my dell 700m and it got stuck @ 98% everytime, then i went to my desktop and it worked on the first try. best of luck
try searching 98% in the forums' i think other people had the same problem when i searched it months ago
To Unlock 2.xx you can use lokiwiz03
If your looking to CID unlock I believe lokiwiz03 will do the job. But if your on 1.xx IPL/SPL then you can use lokiwiz02.

I had the same pbl as you your phone is CID locked. to solve it I have uncid my phone by using this toll first:
hard_SPL-G4.exe
you will find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
then I have used the toll lokiwiz02b and choosed the option CID unlock.
After that I have try all of the WM6 ROM and it had worked with 100% of them.
Let me know if it have worked for you.
Have Fun

Let me correct you here,your phone is semi CID unlocked due to 'HardSPL',it's not permanently CID unlocked or get it unlocked by lokiwiz02b,it didn't do anything,who gave you this impression,that you can CID unlock a G4 device with lokiwiz02b and that to after performing 'HardSPL'.you are upgrading to all wm6 latest custom built Roms,cuz your phone is HardSPL and all the new Roms do not include IPL/SPL in them,but never try to flash a rom with IPL/SPL in it,you'll "Brick" your phone,ok,even if you try to flash the official carrier's Rom,which includes IPL/SPL in it,will brick it,until and unless you remove the 'HardSPL' from your phone.
A permanently CID unlocked by lokiwiz02b can only happen with a G3 device and it can be flashed with any rom,even if it contains ipl/spl.
SO, don't post a wrong advise to guys,like this.
Cheers !!!
