I know this is going to sound stupid...

I just recently changed my phone from the 8700C to 8125. I am planning to up uprade the ROM on my phone. Can anyone please tell me the step by step instruction how to do this? I read somewhere that I need to unlock the CID? Is that the same as unlocking my phone? Do I first need to call cingular to the subsidy unlock code? My phone has this info:'
IPL: 1.08
SPL: 1.08
OS: 1.8.11.1
GSM: 01.16.11
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't sound stupid, you ask really good questions. The only problem is that it sounds inconsiderate.
The answers to every question you have are here already. All you need to do is read (and use the search function --> see top of page).
Everyone here was once a newbie. Many of us jumped in a just thought we could ask and have all of our questions automagically answered. In reality we discovered that if we put in a littel effort to search and wade through the mounds of info here we got better responses for the experienced guys. Eventually some of us even got experienced ourselves!
If you are wanting to do more than just flash the latest Cingular Rom then please spend a week or two reading the forums.
If you just want the official Cingular Rom then please use this link: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/software_downloads_8125.htm
Trust me, you'll be happier in the end.
I say all of this because flashing custom roms does void your warranty and many newbies have cried about turning their nice new phone into a brick becuase they didn't want to invest the time to learn about the process.

So Many Test Roms, beta Roms: Will there be a Finished Rom

Well as the title says really :
So MAny Test Roms, beta Roms: Will there be a Finished Rom?

looking at your ipl & spl you should be in real trouble!!! I suggest reading up on "CID Unlocking" before you brick your phone

hey it is totally hybrid ROM
1.01 IPL - ****om Qtek (beer) ROM
2.17 SPL - Qtek ROM
2.25.11 GSM - Cingular/T-mobile Radio
2.26.10.2 OS - the newest OS by T-Mobile..
Are you crazy ??
If you have question like that, then you should more specific it

Well it works fine.it was a beta from early on.
But the reason I ask the question is that they roms start to be developed in beta, then they carry on the beta testing but password protect it for testers only.
Trouble is a final release doesnt seem to appear.

!danger, Will Robinson! Danger!

I second this! If you don't understand why, then you have absolutely NO business asking about custom ROMs.
If you continue, you WILL brick your device PERMANENTLY!
If you don't take the time to understand this, then expect no help from those of us who do!
HINT:
RTFM!

Blimey all I asked was a simply question?
from a reply :'If you don't take the time to understand this'
Maybe this could relate to my original simple question its not difficult to understand:
'So MAny Test Roms, beta Roms: Will there be a Finished Rom?'
Anyway no point in arguing I have reflashed my device even thou it was working ok and now its at all to date.

It was just a friendly warning.
As for your original question, ROM cookers will always be cooking ROMs. There may be "Official" carrier released ROMs, and active development of particular ROMs may cease as their makers move on to other projects.
So, simply stated, if you find a ROM that meets all of your needs, it is your "Finished" ROM, and you can stick with it and be happy. Otherwise, your answer is no.
I hope that clarified things for you.

alot of folks have this ipl and here is why...

If you follow the directions here on cid unlocking(I followed the link in faria's sig), when you use the suggested downgrade rom thats the ipl/spl you get, then if you flash a rom without the bootloader(ie faria 3.2 & others) this is the ipl you will have when finished, I used the xelencin2.26 rom to get my ipl/spl #'s back up.You could use the latest OEM rom also.
I dont understand why all these custom roms, have the bootloader in them, f-ing around flashing the bootloader is the fastest way to brick your device I can think of, the BL is what will save your sorry ass when you get sketchy and pull the plug at the 96% 20min wait, or screw up your flash in some other way, tho I think there is still a way to get a new bootloader flash on it, like a bootloader for the bootloader but Im not sure.
If the 1.01 ipl is not necessary for the cid unlock to work, somebody could just add the 2.26 to the "beer" downgrade rom.
Ive seen a few people jumping all over noobs who just followed the instructions to a "t", the downgrade howto should highlight this prob and suggest a fix.
I also would love to see a "final" from faria but he seemed pretty discouraged with the response to rc1 and doesn't want the headaches of a public release, I hope he does release, I love his rom and it took me from like 20 apps to install after a hard reset to about 6-8, It is by far the best rom for the wiz Ive seen so far...
faria:
just release it and dont sweat the support so much, Im involved with the "sat testing" community and ALL public releases are totally "at your own risk", If you know the rom is stable then anybody who bricks a phone did something wrong, but I know it is hard not to take things personally, when you give away something that you worked on and are proud of you feel a need to defend it. thanks if rc1 is as far as it goes PUBLICLY, you showed us all how great a rom could be, hope to see 3.0.0.0 FINAL soon...

That's why I included THIS LINK in my previous post.
I learned alot by reading Faria's excellent tutorial, but Dr P laid it out even more clearly, and added a step or two that seem both simple and prudent.
I'm not knocking Faria's tutorial, and I'm not suggesting Dr P knows more. In fact, I feel that BOTH Tutorials should be required reading (all the way through) before anyone attempts to unlock their device.

Anyone that was (or is) able to maintain a "C" average in High School should have absolutely NO problems following Faria's guide. I simply took Faria's method and repackaged the documentation to add the "Safe for Toddlers" stamp, that's all.
@bhang - if the 1.05 had a 2.x IPL or SPL it wouldn't work as you can't unlock a AKU 2.3 ROM with lokiwiz .2b. Plus it's the onl;y way to downgrade a ROM back to a 1.x if one needs to send back to their provider for warranty repair.

I figured there must be a reason, But alot of folks have had the problem, the how to should have the step added to get the ipl back up to a 2.x after.
This place is great, I hope faria will continue, along with everyone else to contribute as its the whole community that makes it great, and we were all noobs with few manners once(to some extent)...

Upgrading to Windows Mobile 6

I've currently got WM5 and want to upgrade to WM6.
I've read the ROM upgrade threads and have the latest versions already in my K-JAM.
Is it as simple now as installing WM6 or is there anything additional to do?
Thanks,
Dave

Helloo
is a G3 or G4 ?
is CID locked ?
find the answers for this questions...., you can brick your device otherwise..

Thanks for the reply. Reading the Wiki I've found out that its a G3. The rest of the versions follow according to the startup screen. Apologies, I should have posted these originally (I intended to but got distracted).
IPC 2.16
SPC 2.16
GSM 2.07.10
OS 2.16.9.1
I'm unsure about the CID.
I've found this thread though and will have a good look at it;

wich ppc expert can give me a good link or suggestion to help me upgrading to wm6 on my qtek 9100?
thanks in advance

Read the sticky on upgrading G3/G4 wizards. I am unfamilliar with that IPL/SPL and wonder if perhaps your phone is not yet unlocked. You won't be able to flash a custom rom until you have CID/SIM unlocked your phone, and G3 phones are easier to work with than G4's. The sticky explains all. Read and re-read it. Then if you still need help, report back with info on what you have tried, etc.
I know this seems like a sh*tty answer, but in all honesty, the stickies pretty much explain all, and a little reading will help you to better understand what you are working with and how things are done.

Take my advise,there's no easy way of learning,first read and understand the methods and different procedures,only ask if you don't understand it or get yourself in some trouble.just asking for a short cut won't help you much and soon get in trouble or even a "Brick" phone.
