I just came across this post, and I'm very new at this...
Can I upgrade my Cingular 8125 (fresh out of the box, but unlocked with lokiwiz02b) with this ROM?
I'm a canadian using Rogers service.

I wouldn't put a ROM designed for a Tornado SmartPhone on my Wizard...but that's just me. ;-)
What is it you'd like to accomplish?
oops
Holy ****, I just saw that... sorry, I'm really new at this...
Anyway, I have all the Wizard files from the xda ftp... I want to know what the latest and greatest ROM to use on my new 8125.
Something that has the push email support? Maybe something with updates similar to the one that the tornado got today? They can now send files by bluetooth from the file explorer, this is **** I was doing on my treo 650 a year ago!
By date alone, K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship_ExtRom seems to be the newest, should I use that one?
Now, i've superCID unlocked my phone, AND regularly unlocked it, is that all I need to switch to a new ROM?
Can someone point me to a post about backing up all the apps/customizations I've made to my stock setup?
Sorry, I swear I'm reading like crazy, but I could use a couple hints..
Thanks alot.

I must say you're quite brave for wanting to jump in without knowing a whole lot. But that's OK, I was where you are in the not too distant past.
A couple things - at this point it is impossible to get back to a totally stock version after you upgrade unless you have access to another stock 8125 or can get a raw ROM dump from someone to flash using a miniSD card. That said, you can quite easily get it back to a state that would look stock enough to allow you to return/exchange your device should you have any hardware problems.
If you've CID unlocked, you're ready to go. All you need to do is run the Imate or Qtek upgrade executable found on the xda ftp.
The Imate and Qtek ROMs are EXACTLY the same from an OS and radio perspective. The only difference is the customizations. In both cases you can skip the customization by doing a soft rest (stylus-in-the-hole) when the device gets to the screen alignment stuff after flashing.
When your device comes back from the soft reset, it will be a bone bare install of WM5. You will want to run a few cab files from the stock Cingular extended ROM, which is available in a zip file on the ftp. You can install every cab EXCEPT a file called gprsstall. It will kill your wifi. Every other cab is fine and will make your device look like a stock 8125. You can skip the 'good email' and 'get email' cabs too - they are for goodlink and express mail...don't know if you use those..
Anyway, take a deep breath and do it like this:
-plug in and establish activesync
-run either the Imate or Qtek installer
-when done, the device will restart and prompt you to align the screen..hit the reset button at this point and the device will reboot
-when the device comes back up, establish activesync
-explore your device using activesync and open or create a folder to put some files in
-copy the cabs you want to install from the cingular extended rom to the folder you have open on your device
-use file explorer on the device to select each cab file..it will install
-restart your device
-Enjoy.
Oh, both ROMs have Direct Push, so as long as your Exchange account has SP2 installed and push active, it will work quite nicely. Neither ROM has the ability to send files via bluetooth that I can find.
As for backing up your current customizations and stuff, what is it you want to try to save?
ok, I'm learning..
Wow, thanks for the helpful post, I hope to really get into this and contribute back to the forums.
Are the newer iMate and Qtek roms actually a newer version of WM5? I keep reading about this "MS Messaging & Security" upgrade that was supposed to have something to do with push email... is that included?
Aside from push email, what are the other significant improvements?
For the backup, I thought I read somewhere about backing up your current config on an miniSD card (i have 512mb), like the ROM and the apps etc, can that be done?
Any intermediary steps required to get push email going? I couldn't even find anything about exchange servers in the stock ROM, you can only add a POP3 or IMAP4 email account. Is it just a matter of adding a "new mail account" on this new ROM and point it at your exchange server?
Oh and finally, these "customizations" you said I can skip on the new ROMS, are those worth doing? Or do they just program in useless things?
EDIT
Hmm, ok, I was just looking at the Extended ROMS folder, duh, so these extended roms are bunches of little cabs that add customizations to a stock WM5? So looking in the ROMS folders... there's lots of files in each one. iMate for example has a WWE_216901_2169101...zip and a WWE_1010903_106...exe, what do the numbers signify, and which one should I be using?
Oh, and I could swear I saw some mention of Resco Explorer being in one of these extended roms, or somewhere on the FTP, is it?
I would strongly advise against doing this upgrade as it will re-simlock your phone back to Cingular and you won't be able to use it with Rogers. Further, lokiwiz has not been updated to support this new rom yet.
I know this is for a fact with the iMate rom, but I haven't seen anything conclusive about the Qtek rom. Noone here seems to know.
I'm in the same boat, I'm on Rogers with a 8125.
good advice
Thanks for the heads up. I'd like to use push email, I have the reins of our Exchange 2003 sp2 server here, so I can change any settings to make this happen. How do you even setup a non-push exchange server on the base cingular 8125 rom?
As a Canadian, have you done anything specific to your device to make things suitable for here? I know I installed GPRS monitor right away since our Rogers overlords don't have unlimited data plans (unless you count 100mb for an arm or leg every month), and I'm hovering at 7mb a month for $40... Damn I want unlimited...

As far as I know, the only way to set up a non-Exchange server is via wireless Active Sync or via IMAP. I haven't done anything provider specific to my 8125 as I don't use EDGE for the reasons you mentioned, just WiFi as it's available both at work and at home.
I'm really dying to install the Qtek rom as by all accounts these roms are infinitely better and faster than the stock Cingular rom. But I'm afraid it will lock my 8125.
Alright, thanks for the advice. Let me know once you do flash your device, and I'll do the same. I suppose we're just waiting for lokiwiz to be updated?
So far I really like the device, I just installed wifitunes and am streaming music from shared itunes libraries at work, and it's flawless!
There's a great post in the Wizard forum that details how to create a miniSD backup of your stock rom. The above poster is correct in that this is the only way to fully return your device to its stock state. The process is simple and you are only out the price of a 128mb miniSD.
Do this backup then upgrade with impunity! Let us know if its still SIM unlocked too. Remember that if it isn't, a 40 second restore will return your device to its original condition. This will work even if the updater fails and "bricks" your wizard. However, I am not sure if the restore process restores the original bootloader, so the "HTC" splash screen might not be removed. I have tried the restore, but not with a Qtek upgraded device.
Not trying to start 1000 threads related to TomTom on the phone, but there seems to be a reoccurring issue with people wanting to get TomTom working on their AT&T Tilt. A lot of people, including myself earlier today, were running into issues with most of the posted files working on the AT&T Tilt. We'd get the message about the ROM being needed to be upgraded. Well buried deep in one of the TomTom threads there was a post by d12ag0n49 pointing to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JZI2MQES (rar archive with password elrincondedey) that seems to solve the problem for AT&T Tilt users.
I have also uploaded just the cab file onto rapidshare without a password at:
http://rapidshare.com/files/62623762/ttn_6_032_8351_HTCNLD.cab.html
This version appears to work just fine on the AT&T tilt. It does not come with any maps and does link to getting the one free map online (although link never loaded for me). Just simple add the cab file onto your Tilt and install away. You'll have a single voice to choose from without getting additional voices.
Hope this helps.
Steven
i hear you... but man niether one wants to work for me. i guess im sh** out of luck.
but a question. you say just put the cab file in the tilt.
now in laymans terms i need more! assuming i have not installed anything related to tt where would i install this cab file?
Using ActiveSync you need to copy over the .cab file onto your phone (or maybe you can just save it through your browser on the phone). Once you have got it on the phone, you need to use File Explorer to navigate to the directory you saved it in. Find it and run it and it should install after that. What problem are you getting?
This TomTom .cab installed fine, and now I'm configuring it. I haven't finished, but just wanted to pause and thank you for the Female Eva voice from the NETHERLANDS! Like I understand that!

LOL yea might be a bit difficult, but at least you can see what's going on, right? If someone wants to post up detailed instruction on changing the voices/languages please do!
lol geez i think im going to give up
ok via sync i have "explore" which opens the phone.
1 i have copied the whole file and tried also just the contents...no luck you click on files nothing
2 i have copied the file and tried also just the contents into "my mobile phone"...no luck you click on files nothing
its as if after i copy them into the phone the are useless
the closest i have came is with one of the downloads it came as a install wizard which would extract it. but the phone says i need to update rom.
lets say I have a bunch of maps. how do I installthem so tom tom can see them?
lets say you share those maps...ahaha jk
this is where i need to be. try installing that ver (above links) of tt and then i believe you can use tt home or manually install your self in the proper directory.
i just cant get tt itself to install AAARRRGGG
good luck

you're disconnecting your phone from activesync, then using file explorer on your phone to "click" on the cabs you copied over, right?

If you click on a .cab file in file explorer on your phone, it shouldn't "open" (as in let you see the various files within the .cab), it should simply start installing. Not sure what's going on with you.
For those looking for voices, just google free tomtom voices, there are multiple places to find them (and there are some available directly from TomTom). Once you find the ones you want, you just copy those files directly into the "voices" folder that TomTom created. For me, it's in the root of my storage card. For maps, it created a "My documents" folder on my storage card, and the maps are stored in there. Once you get the maps and voices saved in the locations it expects them to be, you just switch to that voice and map in "preferences" within TomTom.
Hate to gloat, but I got TomTom6 working on my Tilt and it works great. Forget the english voices, go for the Darth Vader one!
A quick google search for "tomtom voices" yields a ton of sites.
I cant find a copy of MobiTV, the ATT version of Cellular video or the ATT Xm radio app. Now I have searched an come up with only things that have not worked on my machine. They are older apps, from 8525 and Cingular.
I made a thread about this in upgrades but some smarmy mod popped out links and basically called me a moron for not searching. Well guess what none of that **** you linked me to worked. All of it was very old as well.
Im hoping someone will be able to pull the .cab installs of of the actual NEW ATT Tilt rom. I was able to find the newest xpress mail on my own. I also found the 8925 NEW version of Telenav.
guess im not as dumb as those mods think, since my .cabs are up to date ABD THEY WORK on your new device.
btw the new search is HORRIBLE i cant just search the Kaiser area when i want.

Don't know if this will help..I had to put the files from the OperatorPKG into a ZIP file...

Hope this helps
You do not need the cellular video cab...it only has the URL of cingularvideo.cingular.com and a realplayer install in it... DO you have streaming media or realplayer installed on your phone???
To get CellularVideo to work properly...
1st.... open IE and go to cingularvideo.cingular.com
2nd... Try and click on the link....
(a) if link opens up in either realplayer or streaming media your done
(b) if link opens up realplayer or streaming media but it will not connect
you need to do the following....
(i) use a file explorer on your phone that will show hidden files
(ii) open up realplayer from the .exe file in the file explorer. It
should open up just the player.
(iii) when the player opens, you need to click on options and make
sure the connect option is going through MEdiaNet
(iiii) after doing this, save and close the realplayer.
(iiiii) go back to cingluarvideo.cingular.com and try again it
will work.
3rd.... If you have not already, make sure you restoreProxy
4th... If the above directions do not work I have attached the CellularVideo
cab file which was found by searching google.
thanks guys

I'll bite since you obviously made an effort. Otherwise you would have gotton a generic response to go to the ATT forums. ;-) (Kind of a revote against newbs lately.)
The cabs are hard to find. The download I put here is NOT the cabs. They're just ripped from the ROM.
Drop the files in your Program Files directory and delete the vars.chunk files to restore the trial period.
the first mobitv installl in this thread didnt work for me.... thanks for this one... i still need cellular tv, that custel file wont work with mobile 6.1 on the 8925

The cabs are hard to find. I just ripped the stuff from \program files. It's all you need really. This is from the Windows 6.1 ATT ROM, so I know they aren't old.

The site admin is working dilligently to offer as many useful search options as humanly possible.
Ironically when the original search was the only choice everyone complained that it was crap, now with it replaced by google al o the sudden it was "the bee's knees".
Shortly Admin should have both Google & vBulletin (original) in the search dropdown. Eventually they might even be able to add functionality to the google option but give them time guys. It's not like you flip a switch and get a 3rd party search integrated exactly as you want.

You can always ask a friend or co-worker for their account info. Also, if you know someone who has an XM Radio, but doesn't have/use the online account, you can get or ask them for their radio ID and sign up for the account online yourself.
XM Radio accounts can be used by multiple people/computers at one time, whereas Sirius accounts cannot.

Essential processes for AT&T Tilt Users after each rom flash
I know this has been mentioned thousands of times throughout this forum yet n00bs often need assistance fixing their hardware keyboards, email, HTC weather, quick gps, and so on after they flash a new rom for the first time.
While hanging out in Bansville for a couple of days I realized I have been answering the same questions continuously. This is a mini text tutorial, which offers simple fixes for imperative AT&T settings.
So you installed a version of hardspl, flashed a new rom, and performed a hard reset. What next? Well primarily in all probability, you want to make sure the clock settings are in am and pm format and the date is set to m/d/y. To change your clock settings follow this navigation
Start>settings>system>regional settings>time tab>time style drop down set to h:mm:ss tt
To change your date setting:
Start>settings>system>regional setting>date tab> select the date style of your choosing and select ok.
Next, I like to restore my files such as my appointments, contacts, text messages, etc. I personally prefer to use PimBackup. Below is a .zip file for PPCPimBackup. It is an uncomplicated program to use and a lecture is unnecessary to navigate throughout this application, as it is straightforward.
After I restore my files, it is time to inaugurate the Tilt keyboard fix, which repairs your slide-out QWERTY keys to be mapped correctly. For example, without this fix Fn+W will appear as ! opposed to @. Below is the cab file you need to install to remap the keys appropriately. Following the installation of this cab file, perform a soft reset.
The next thing I usually do is correct my connection settings. First, I install ATT_Settings.cab, which you can find below. Then I navigate to the following:
Start>settings>connections>connections>select the advanced tab>select networks>Change both drop downs to Media Net> select edit on both drop downs>proxy settings tab>uncheck everything for both media nets that you changed>then hit ok or x when you are finished.
At this time, I set up my email. However, remember NOT to save your password, you will do this in the following step. If you are using HTC HOME, most likely you are, select the little envelope and create a new account. You can find your email settings by using google if you are using pop3 or whatever.
Next, after I set up my email without saving the password, I install removehiddenproxy.cab, which you can find below. This cab file is important as it allows your pop3 email account’s password to save without adding extra characters, allows for your quickgps to function properly each time, and it also allows you to use HTC Home Weather without getting a connection failure. So install this cab then go back to the email you just set up, edit the account setup, enter your password, and save it. Now, go back to your today screen and tap your weather tab. Now tap Select City and select your city (*Note there are a few patches available to select your town if you do not live in a big city). Anyhow, notice the menu button where your right softkey is, select menu and turn your temperature scale to Fahrenheit and select done.
I suggest setting up your WiFi at this time too.
Well this is my mini tutorial for a basic setup on your AT&T Tilt after you flash a new rom.
Have Fun Flashing and Take Care.
*Special thanks to the creators of these cab files and JimmyMcgee for teaching me the basics.
Am I missing something too?
Is there something to do regarding getting a reasonable GPS fix after flashing newer 6.1 roms or is it a known problem. I keep flashing down to older 6.0 roms with 1.27.14.09 radio because of the faster GPS fix. I would love to use the newer roms but GPS fix time is a deal breaker for me. To save you some time I use SPL 3.28 with 6.0 roms and 3.56 with 6.1 roms. I bounce between Q-mobile and RomEos roms now that we lost dutty. Ive tried all the newer radios and personally they all stink for GPS. Sorry about your brief ban and welcome back, I need your wisdom
*cough* sticky
AWESOME. I keep saying I need to: Start fresh, get NetCF 3.5, get a light rom. But it all seems so complicated to go from current configuration to start over completely, but this will help a lot! Thanks! Now to find the time and the 'right' ROM.
Thanks very much for the reminders, and for the CABs. I flashed my first 6.1 ROM last night, and forgot all about the hidden proxy!
I agree that this really needs to be a sticky...
This is a good tutorial, but here is a good side note to add.
By removing the hidden proxy (which ya do with the removehiddenproxy cab), Tilt users won't be able to get to media net (http://device.home or http://home) or cingular video as the hidden proxy is needed for those.
Then they should just use the Restore Proxy, and that will allow MEdiaNet.
Proxy Manager has both in it.

Did you try 1.71.09.01 ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410953
Been having the same issue and finally I think got a break. Tried about 10 SR's and the lock times are steady inside the house.
BTW using DK2
does windows mobile have a localhost file like windows? would remapping those to their needed servers allow the bypassing of the proxy?

I deserved the brief ban.
Anyhow, I noticed that when running 6.1 roms with the Tilt you need an application such as HTC GPS Tool or GPS Test, to open your internal gps, prior to opening your GPS Software.
These are the steps I use to utilize a GPS Fix after each soft reset:
1) download latest updates for quickgps
2) Open GPS Tool>com 4>baud 4800>Hot Start>Then click Open and wait like 30 seconds
3) Open TT7
*If you fail to get a fix after following these steps close all programs and repeat. Eventually you should be getting fixes within seconds.
I've attached GPS Tool for you, good luck.
What exactly does the remove hidden proxy cab do on AT&T Tilts? If you go into your connection settings and uncheck the proxy server- is that the same thing or something different than the cab file does?
Hey Red,
I attached an ATT settings cab which does not enable the proxy by default, and also enableds creation mode in MMS settings. I thought it might be helpful for your thread here. Also, it may seem too advanced for beginners, but i have a thread started here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418468
This has a step by step guide to how to create an xml file using Schap's Advanced Config 3.0, which can be used to provision all of your advanced config preferences during your UC setup. This tool has really made it very easy to do reduce the amount of work that goes into flashing.
I also attached a cab for total commander, a free, more full featured file explorer; gps test, another gps tool; and advanced config 3.0. Hope it helps.
Thanks... this is a great thread!!!

I'd really like to know this too!
Why would anyone ever want the proxy checked? Does it do something for you to have it checked?

It removes a HIDDEN proxy, one that you can't remove without a cab. Without it enabled you can't connect to medianet home, and some other things. Most users like to disable it for a myriad of reasons, one of which is that it causes you to be unable to browse while connected to your laptop.
The box that you check in connections is a separate issue, and i think that is actually just old settings, i'm not sure, since even on the AT&T website it tells you no not to have that checked.

Awesome. So, if I run the cab and remove the hidden proxy- can I then tether my laptop (connect to the net using the Tilt's data)- without getting caught by AT&T? Or is there more to tethering without getting caught?

I got mine from the marketplace, you might try this...
http://www.iskoot.com/register.php?device=NoDevice

ANy Screen shoot will be appreciated
iSkoot is a JAVA based Software or Native Android Application
Make sure you really need iskoot. It uses plan minutes by redirecting through a local phone number (ie, it uses your minute bucket). It's not the VOIP app that people think it is. It's a decent workaround for people with lots of minutes who use skype contacts regularly, though.
The local number thing may be why it wasn't included in the non-US marketplace, as it might not be configured for the UK yet. Stringing together hearsay from other forums, so I may be wrong.
I personally want iSkoot to be able to chat to my Skype contacts rather than call them.
So can anyone provide .apk for it? As it seems there's no way to get it for UK users.
Impossible to find
I tryied over the internet and even in my Android Market I cannot find iSkoot. Can someone please upload the native app for android?
An FYI, but I'm a UK T-Mobile customer currently in the US on an extended vacation.
I bought an unlocked US G1 on Ebay and put my UK T-Mobile SIM in it. Everything worked fine, except I too could not see iSkoot in the marketplace. I'm not data roaming, so I've been accessing the internet over WiFi.
When I got the phone, it came with a US T-Mobile SIM - I put this in the phone and even though the SIM is not connected to a plan, I could then see and download iSkoot from Marketplace over WiFi. In addition, when I replaced the UK SIM in the device and tried to use iSkoot, it worked - it even tried to dial a UK access number which is how I guess iSkoot uses plan minutes.
Therefore, it seems likely that Marketplace can "detect" your region from your SIM card and apply restrictions based on that.
I suggest that getting hold of one of these:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/Detail.aspx?class=prepaid&device=53299206-c069-429a-82fa-000007a2ac12
Might allow non-US users to have less restricted access to the Marketplace over WiFi.
Regards,
Dave

Looks like it's free software, that requires registration to work, so i don't see the harm in uploading the files. If someone knows of it being against the wishes of the software developer then just PM me. Thanks for checking.
can't sign in
does anyone else (in the US) have this problem?
i'm getting:
ERROR
You're already signed on in a different mobile device
i'm obviously not - anyone else saw this?
thanks,
E.
Try to push several time space on your keyboard during the signing.
Anyone can help me to change inside the apk file the defaultSkypeHost=http://gw1.iskoot.com into defaultSkypeHost=http://skype.tre.it/p-iskoot ?
In this way i can use the Xseries minutes included in my H3g plan....
Thx for any help.
I'm looking to do the same when I get the time.
I think I found the line you're looking for in the res\raw\startup.properties file of the apk
You can view or extract the apk file using winrar or z-zip.
I used Microsoft office to view the file so I guess you could edit it.
You might have to resign the apk if you're successful with the editing it so check out the following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503007
Let me know how it goes?
Update:
Haven't yet tested to see if iskoot is using my 6000 free skype mins or not but my mod and install seemed to work. Give it a go and let me know if it works for you.
Steps:
Download the iskoot.apk from xda-dev
use winrar or 7-zip to extract the contents
use microsoft office word to edit the res\raw\startup.properties file of the apk
to replace the existing strings from
defaultSkypeHost=http://gw1.iskoot.com
backupHost=isk-bos-app2.iskoot.com
baseUrl=isk-bos-app2.iskoot.com
to the relevant ones, which can be found here
http://pastebin.com/f483b9120
for uk I amended them to
defaultSkypeHost=http://mobile.three.co.uk/948
backupHost=http://mobile.three.co.uk/948
baseUrl=http://mobile.three.co.uk/948
save as the original filetype if asked/prompted
Open the orginal iskoot.apk (not the extracted one) and delete the original startup.properties file then drop the modified one into its place
Delete the META-INF folder from the iskoot.apk before closing and saving
Download the autosign app from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503007 and extract it
place your customised iskoot.apk into the auto-sign folder and run the .bat file. If you run into problems it might be because you have to change your windows folder options and untick "hide extensions for known filetypes" in the view tab (in windows xp). Then you can rename the file from .zip to .apk and the signing process should work.
Transfer the file to your Magic or G1 and install (I used astro filemanager and made sure I allowed the install non-market applications option)
I entered my skype settings into the phone and rebooted for good measure. Note it doesn't work over wifi so make sure that's off.
Test call worked a treat and a look at the call log showed an outgoing local number was used.
Just need to check my monthly bill now!?
I tried to change res\raw\startup.properties file of the apk but when i make a call trough iskoot i see that the number called is not the Xseries number but the generical iskoot local number for my nation.
I don't know if this happen because I first installed a normal iskott version then I uninstalled it and reinstalled the modified version.
Any other feedback?
Thx in advance.
Nice
I was one of few beta testers of this kind of app (made by Skype genuinely) for S40 phones (I had SE K750i) and it is very useful if you do not have an endless data plan want to get a hold on someone outside your country. Even if he/she is not in skype and is using an ordinary cellphone it still comes cheaper I think (the local call fee+skypeout credit)

I can confirm that doing this hack in the UK, does not make iskoot use the x-series number. I have been charged for my skype-to-skype calls.
Upon further investigation I have determined that it is dialing the wrong number. The number dialed was 442070431521, whereas the number that should be dialed is 447838333878. I cannot, however, find a way to make iskoot dial the desired number. Any thoughts?
don't have a dream but on my italian diamond i just changed the registry
CallNumber= ...........
with the number it's ment to call...so in my case +393933934446
Hi,
I'm wondering if I have the right number. You wouldn't happen to know where to look for these numbers, would you?
