Total Newbie but please help

Ok so I got an o2 xda and I have managed to unlock the phone so I can put my t-mobile sim in.
This xda has never had a firmware upgrade nor do I know about such stuff.
Soooooo, what firmware could I install and how do I do it.
As said total newbie but please help where you can, we where all newbie's once
Numbers that flash up on boot up are....
R 1.10.00
1327.10
1.60.00 wwe
Does this tell you the current firm ware ?

We are once newbie.. but we once do research and learn ourself and not sit and wait. Go read and whever you do not understand, just ask instead of for everything to be fed to you
First try reading clicking on the top left wiki

PMSL, oh thanks, whats a winkie.
So I should just bundle into it flash the wrong firmware then post about how my xda won't go past the boot screen, then you can all sit on your selfrightous pulpit and say you should of asked ?

Well, take a look around this site and find some of the threads from people who had no idea what they were doing but didn't let that stop them. They're not real hard to find these days. It will probably be a simple process, but it may not be. When you're flashing the phone and your PC crashes, you yank the cable out, the battery dies, power goes out, the phone falls off the table, you spill water on it and everything else that I've seen happen, what are you going to do? All the answers are here and they're not hard to find and it's REAL HANDY to know the answers, or at least know where to find them, BEFORE you go off half-cocked knowing just enough to be dangerous. So rather than frying your phone and then coming back here to ***** about it, go read through the threads on flashing, read about what has gone wrong and what people have done about it. People that are a lot better at this than you and me. And this is assuming you even NEED a different ROM. I've tried lots and I'm perfectly happy with the stock T-Mobile 2.26 system. Custom ROMs have all kinds of problems not to mention your warrantee ends the moment you start that flash process and you're not going to find many people willing to help you turn your expensive toy into a smoking paperweight.

Haha.. nice to have you joker around once a while.
If you were to be in the position to bundle in a wrong ROM, I wouldn't recommend you to even flash your ROM, even if step by step instructions are given. When you have confident enough to do your research and ask 'specific' question (of which you can do before you get yourself into troubles). Just enjoy your phone as it is.
Read here for inspiration for step by step instruction.

Why thankyou kind sir, LOL

Well, I'm actually ROTFL and not LOL at this!
(But I'm easily amused!)
Thanks!

I'm just at Heh level, personally. It's amusing but this trend of people with too much money bricking their phones is getting kind of old. See "[Release 1.0 RC1] AKU 3.2 ROM" for the latest blind rush to nowhere. *shrug*....it's not my $400.

Wow what activity we have, ok fook the phone lets just take the p!ss lol.
All it was was my phone was on o2 network but I'm with t-mobile.
OK here's a question, can I flash the t-mobile firmware onto my o2 phoone and get a working result ?

Yes. Just make sure you get the right Wizard ROM from T-Mobile (e.g. not Charmer, not Universal, etc).

Having trouble downloading the xda tool from the ftp Any other source ?
The t-mobile rom, is it uk friendly as I have read a lot about the us version me thinks.

Which 'tool' are you refering to? Seems alright with me. The xda ftp sites may go down once a while. You may want to retry later.
I'm not sure whats with US ROM. I think the base ROM should be the same for both country, only the Ext ROM is different with different settings for both country. You may install whatever goodies you get from US ROM later.
Anyway, just to make the point clear, why do you want to use the T-mobile ROM?

What is disscus about this thread..?
Xda II (Himalaya) or Xda Mini Pro/S (Wizard)...?
this ROM indicated O2 Xda II (Himalaya)...

I belive mine to be the XDA II (Himalaya) (o2 version yeah ?)
I am having problems setting up wap ect and thought that maybe a rom upgrade would not only get rid of the o2 software completly but also have the advange of being t-mobile based from then on as that is the sim i am using.
The tool I was trying to download was to upload/download rom from windows base I think, LOL

Wizard rom Upgrade

Hi,
I would like to upgrade the rom on my Qtek 9100 as getting a hermes seems like a waste of time(not enough new developments) Can anyone reccommend a good rom and provide a link to it? - I cant find farias rom anywhere. I have the earliest revision of radio and os rom avail as I got my 9100 last December.
Please help as I think upgrading ROM would be much preferable to upgrading phone.
P.s do the new roms fix the screen calibration and alarm wakeup problems
Many Thanks,
Darko2006

It is highly unlikely that you will find Farias ROM as he has removed it from the general population. You need to read for about a week or two and after that you may be ready to upgrade your phone. I don't know if the new ROMs fix the problems you are talking about because I never had those problems to begin with.
Good Luck,
Kirby

Do you have the info on what was in Farias ROM?
I don't want the ROM, but I'd like to see what he was doing. It's a shame that someone had to be an arse and ruin for other people, but then again, it's as a shame that people let people get to them over the interweb.

The best way to find out what his ROM had in it is to go to the first post in his thread and find the link that will show you his first post in the very first thread about this whole thing. He talks in detail about what the ROM contains.

You might want to take a look at what Molski has to offer. He has a fairly clean ROM that is quite stable.

Dang you are right what a bummer.

most stable/fewest problems 3.x rom out?

hi, im new on here and new to upgrading these phones i have a Cingular 8125. so far ive upgraded to the newest cingular rom (2.25.11.1 WWE) I would like to upgrade to one of the newer 3.x roms but still keep it stable and be able to use most programs. i also need to SIM and CID unlock my phone still so any help on that process would be appreciated too. ive looked on here quite a bit and it seems like there are a lot of conflicting issues about SIM AND CID unlcking phones that have IPL/SPL 2.xx (i have 2.25 for both) again...any help on any of the subjects is greatly apprciated!! Thanks in advance,
Corey
::edit:: also ive read about haveing to install cingular settings to get the MMS/SMS to work correctly again. is that for all ROM upgrades other than shipped ROMs? and if it is needed, where can i find it?
sorry for all the questions, im just trying to do this right as a noobie ;-)

wow...
wow.... 122 veiws so far and not single comment :-/ not even to flame the noobie for not noticing the CID/SIM unlock instructions untill immediatly after he posted the thread. ohwell, i will persevere

ive tried them all, but the one that's the most stable so far is Molski's 1st Edition 3.0.0.0 AKU3.2 Rom, in fact its lasted the longest of all the roms I've installed so far. I hope that helps

People are being nice!
As a noob....instead of asking.....read! If you READ through the threads, you'll notice different people have different experiences with the same ROM. What's stable for me may not be stable for you.
All the roms you may be interested in are all clean roms which means you have to install your carrier settings......do you know what they are? Start with this and until then.....stay with your factory rom............

thanks guys. the CIS/SIM unlock was an oversight on my part, but i figured i would ask since no matter waht ROM it is it seems that a few people have certain issues with it and i was hopeing to kind of get a feeling for which one most of the people are happiest with. i have a .CAB with the carrier settings in it. another option that im thinking about is just waiting untill crossbow is out and seeing if cingular puts it on the 8125 so that i can get it as a OEM rom. I am most likely not going to be doing all the things that you guys are with the wizards, but i am interested in keeping it updated with the best ROM and radio ROM and being able to personalize it. i hate haveing the same thing as everyone else...
::EDIT:: and i've been reading for the last 5 days lol. TMI to digest all at once on here

I agree with Dr P. This is the longest I have stayed with a ROM The Molski 3.0.0.0 very stable.

Okay - now I'll ask you a ? - How do you have a cab of your carrier settings. I would love that.

Concur Molski 3.0 but replace the radio to 2.19 rom to resolve the missed call/frozen buttons issues. Then it's near perfect but for a few apps that need to be resolved by their developers

For Cingular download the P_Conn_CWS_APR12_Wizard and rename to zip to cab.
<hint> Keep this on your SC !

thanks for the opinions guys, and thanks for posting that for me doc, my computer has been down for a few days and i couldnt get the file off to send him. im just trying to decide now if i want to use that rom or wait untill the WM6 WWE rom is available..seems like it should be pretty soon.

You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!

Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.

ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?

anyone ???

No Sound!

hey guys, i unlocked my tilt 2 days ago. since then, i have only been able to place 1 outgoing call, and then i have to restart the phone. this is starting to get very annoying. there is no ringer, no volume, nothing.
Before you tell me to reflash my radio, i did. like 20 times. nothing
Whoever wrote that unlocking program messed up BIG time.....
Halp!

lol. rotfl..haha..sorry man.. just read read read that's all I can say.

why waste your energy typing? if you dont have anything worthwile to suggest, then GTFO

Change your Radio. The radio included in your new ROM does not the right one. do i search and find a compatible radio and it will work

thx capitan obvious!!! did you read my original post? i tried EVERY radio!!

You're not very polite
Besides, the unlocker worked perfectly for many many many people here, so i would not say that Olipro messed around here.but anyways...
did you reflash the same Radio Version all the time or did you try different ones?? I had Versions with which the same problem occured, no voice, no ringer, no sounds. 1.64.08.21 worked for me

Its really funny how you are the only individual that flashing the radio didn't help. And before you go talking about OLI, jocky and the likes that made the program so you could get rid of the bloat and flash works of art that this forum provides, I'd look inward and see if you might have done something wrong.
You know what, Im gonna make it real easy. If you have a 6.1 rom then you need a 6.1 radio. Same goes for 6.0. However some cooked roms are at$t specific and you have to have a at$t radio. A little more information such as the radio you are using and the rom would be really helpful.

haha simultanuous post and NO, your original post does NOT tell WHICH Radio Versions you tried...

YOU RADIO IS INCOMPATIBLE (means not compatible; not the right one).
Find a Compatible Radio that matches your dam ROM (whatever the f that is) READ READ and READ again..and find it.
There are experts and know 30000% more than u on this site..respect their help or dont post anymore.
Worst case scenario...revert back to your old ROM that work and leave us in peace

The unlockers have been used successfully time and time again. However, responsibility for it's results lie within your ability to accept failure and to follow through all the steps properly.
Continuing to lay blame on others is quickly making you lose the people trying to help you.

Holy Hell. The rom you pointed to came with a radio, that I know for a fact works. Why did you try to change radios? If it didnt work straight out of the box then you have a bad flash and the radio section is bad.
Edit:
I did feel bad for you and decided to come back and help but you wont listen so have fun playing with the nice new shiny brick you call a phone. You could get better reception from 2 cups and a string before I come back to help. I'm done.

1. no idea what my original ROM was, now im running "CE OS 5.219202 (build 19202 dutty's) v6.1
2. i used the olipro one
3. it said "phone unlocked" so im guessing it worked.
im not sure if i stated this before, i was running dutty's ROM for 2 weeks, and just recently (sunday) unlocked it.
for all those telling me to read the stickies, there is only one relevant to my situation, and it tells you to try a different radio. i did that. many times.
if i cant fix it, im selling this POS and getting an iphone
