[Help] Unlocking Cingular 8125
Hey im new to these forums and i need help unlocking my Cingular 8125
From what ive seen on these forums my phone is G4 Because it has xxx1 at the end of the ip or w/e that **** is. I would gladly appreciate it if someone would help me unlock my G4.One of my friends has his unlocked it looks like Vista and it has all these sweet programs. Since i just got mine its g4 I guess..and since he got him like 2 months bevfore me maybe his was g3 so it was easy...

Noob, i already checked that one. Its stickied why wouldnt i not check it before posting this thread?
The link's on that Thread are dead. They dont work anymore ***. Lol

Can't we all just get along? Let's keep things nice-nice, okay?
Anyhow, chaos36 it's really important to read up on this site before posting. All the answers are readily available (with some time and patience).
Here's a quick guideline ...
1. Your first stop should be here (the wiki)
All the information and links to get the most out of your device
2. How to SIM unlock your phone, look here.
3. How to flash any ROM other than your carrier's, here
4. Enjoy!
But just a bit of friendly advice for you in the future. Read and search all you can, then if you can't find what you're looking for, read and search some more before posting.
This site is a great place for developers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts. It's not a "helpdesk". But as long as you help yourself first, you'll find a lot of great (nice) people that will help you along your way.
Good luck and have fun!

Can you still get into the bootloader screen? (the red/blue/green screen)
To get into the bootloader you need to HOLD the camera button and tap the reset button.

Yes im in that screen right now if you mean the screen thtat has 3 stips a red then green then blue?
Now what do i do when im there?

Alright, this is a good example (one that we've all seen over and over again here) of how not to jump into flashing your phone without reading everything thoroughly.
Stay in the bootloader screen, keep your USB cord plugged in and reflash your original carrier's ROM. That will get you back to factory specs.
Then, don't try flashing anything else UNTIL you read everything I mentioned in the previous post first, at least a couple times through.
Just some advice

Well, glad to help. To reflash your original carriers ROM, you need to download it from their website and execute it.

Ok i got a cingular 8125. So to download it i go to Cingualr.com?...Sorry for being so noob and do you got AIm will be much easier for you to help me there ty.

I'm actually about to hit the sack. But you can get the Cingular ROM here. Just download and install it and you'll be good.
Good luck!

Wow you gave me a direct link. Thank you for all your help! Do you got AIM incase i cant figure out how to do this? maybe u can help me out tomorrow thnx for all your time and help.

Taurus pretty much held your hand and walked you thru it. You should be fine after this point. And if some of the links arent working, just let some of the mods now and they will take care of all that stuff. So good luck with the flashing.

A couple of questions..

So Im a long time lurker, new poster. My wing came today and I would like flash OpenTouch 3 to it but Ive got a couple of questions first.
No matter how hard Ive searched, be it google or the wiki I still cannot find a definite answer about Hard-SPL. What is it, exactly? Do I need it to be able to flash OpenTouch 3?
Secondly, upon flashing the new rom, do I need to re enter all my network settings?

Read all the links in "All importatn links"
and never say again: I searched - it is NOT true.
there is ALL i repeat ALL you need written down!

I did read through it, including the Hard-SPL link. I only see instructions on how to install it, not why, or what it is.
The only thing I can deduce from that and other threads is its for avoiding bricking your phone, but Im not installing stuff on my 300 dollar phone without a reason why or what it does, or if I even need it.
I know you get lots of questions repeated over and over, but damn, your own wiki's search function doesnt detail what Hard-SPL is, it only references the link on how to install it.

First off, welcome to xda...
You need to relax a little, its not that hard and if you do brick the devic you can always reflash the original...
On the original thread for the rom, there is a FAQ section that should help you get started.
If you device is new and you have never flash it before then there is no need to HARD-SPL.

Here's the rom I use:
Open Touch Biggy v3.0 by ttran:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7GY2ZNKD
Then follow these steps:
II. How do I flash an NBH file?
a. USPL
Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4N36HLO
Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.
Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.
Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.
That's it. Welcome to the flasher's world.
Instructions by Ivanmmj
Also,
In the future, please keep all questions in the original thread, this makes it eaiser for me and others to help you.
Enjoy!

Thank you, and I apologize for the post. Hopefully I'll be back later with your rom on my phone. :-D

I USPL'd. No biggie. What I think it does is writes some code to your device to ignore the security certificates or whatnot. Basically allowing you to install unofficial ROMs. The creator kindly put an image of Tux on there so I at least know it's Linux based.
That's my take on it.

Sorry. BUT on IvanMMJ thread about "How to flash" and "Neewbee guide" there is all discribed.
But thanks for ttran... now we have the 101st HOW2!!

Remeber, check your SPL to make sure it's higher than 4.0 BEFORE flashing.

Determine SPL?
I have 2 MDAs and can see the IPL and SPL, etc., when I do a Soft Reset. However, with my new Wing I do not get that data displayed on Soft Reset. So, I checked Device Information:
ROM: 4.10.531.3 WWE dated: 03/15/07
Radio: 02.83.90
Protocol: 4.1.13.37
ExtROM: 4.10.531.103
Is there some reason that I do not see the IPL, SPL, etc., on Reset?
I assume that my SPL is what my ROM is, 4.10.531.3.
Thank you.

On the Herald, you have to place the phone into bootloader mode to see the SPL. I believe all Wings are 4.0 and above, but you can never be too sure.

Thanks for your quick response. I do appreciate your time and help. Mostly, all of your posted information.
What is the purpose of the SDDAEMON.INK in the Startup file? I have done searches on this and cannot find a definition of what it does or what it starts up.

well sd would probably the memory card
daemon is a background, "gofer" like file that automatically does computer requests
sometimes abbreviated as "d"..as in syslogd.. for a system log daemon file...blablah
and a .ink file is an image file with recorded information in it... usually used for shortcut icons
but yeah.. i have no idea, sorry

It's supposed to be a short cut to initialize Cyberon's Voice Speed Dial. The reason you didn't find anything is because it's SDDAEMON.LNK not INK.

Stuck on g1 screen - can't boot recovery, no bootloader

Hi. I flashes a signed-spl to my phone via update.zip, now the phone will not load in recovery, nor bootloader mode.
I have place a working .nbh (for BL mode)
and a working update.zip (for rec. mode) on my miniSD
if somebody could please assist me in getting this thing running again, that would be great. thanks!

I have exactly the same problem. Can anybody help?

Which spl did you flash......original, engineering, hard, or haykuro (danger)?
Please tell me you didn't flash the danger spl without installing the latest radio first....

Time for a new phone

i flashed spl-signed
whatever that is.. my phone was giving me a android.process.aboot (OR SOMETHING LIEK THAT) with an option to force close it only. I figured the SPL would help this situation.

No offense big guy but just downloading and flashing something that you had no idea about probably wasn't the best idea. Where did you get this mysterious SPL from? Perhaps we can help you trace it that way. It sounds as though you bricked though since you have little to offer in the way of retracing your steps so we can help you. What guide did you follow, what radio did you have?
What made you figure that an SPL upgrade would fix your force close error? Did you research any of this?

Yea just like what DirectMatrix said "What would make you think the spl would solve a FC issue".

well i know that the SPLs allow installation of unfamiliar ROMs and allow them to work.. i did this before with a different one and it did the trick. that is why i repeated this process.
To be perfectly honest, this SPL was in my downloads folder and had worked before.. so i flashed it. I have attached the SPL so maybe somebody can check this out? I appolagize for my newbess and impulsiveness lol.
And i believe the radio was NOT v2 =[ i know thats bad..
THE ROM I FLASHED THIS ON TOP OF WAS JFV1.51_CRB43-ADP

The only SPL I have in my SPL folder that is that same file size is the haykuro danger SPL, so if you didn't update to the latest radio (2.22.19.26I) then I'm sorry to tell you, YOUR BRICKED!

Yea thats the same spl I have on my pc that is the "danger" spl. Yep if you flashed that without having the newest radio then you are bricked my friend. And spl has nothing to do with allowing installation of unfamiliar roms. What that spl does is free up more space on our phones to be able to install the hero roms which are larger.

The md5sum of the SPL you posted is the same as Haykuro's danger SPL. What's quite worrying is that you had a 1.5 ROM but not the 1.5 radio, if you had the new radio you would not have bricked. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few dropped calls on 1.5 ;-P You didn't read, flashed something you didn't know about and bricked. My sympathy for you = nil.

new thread idea
I was thinking on my drive home, maybe we should just start a thread titled
TO EVERYONE: FLASH THE RADIO BEFORE YOU FLASH THE DANGER SPL FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!!!!!!
Just start the thread, have it stickied, and have it closed before anyone can post anything in it. Then people wouldn't even have to open a thread, they can just navigate to a forum and have it slap them in the face. Then of course the next logical step is just to start a forum with the same title, then all they have to do is get to the website.....the sad part is people will still brick..
My sympathy for Mr/Mrs. oraeanast ended quickly when I read:

Dude, you gotta calm down a little and try to understand where we're coming from. MODS, I know this is off topic but I feel I have to get this off my chest...>big breath<
[RANT]There are literally hundreds of places within this forum that tell you to flash the radio before the SPL. There are notes and warnings all over the ROM threads, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of posts regarding:
n00b: "I think I bricked"
person trying to help: "can you get into recovery"
n00b: "no, I was trying to flash the new SPL so I could get Hero"
person trying to help: "did you install the radio first"
n00b: "oh no, what's that"
Not to mention you, yourself, mention in your first few posts that you didn't know what it was, you just figured you'd flash it because you thought it would help with some kind of force close. When you do something like that, n00b or not, you are gonna take some flaming from the forum. Sorry this is just how these things work. There are thousands of people on these forums that spend weeks reading before they do anything to their phone, and there are just as many who read for 20 minutes and just start doing things. The very nature of a open forum of this type makes it difficult to have organized data. Everyone seems to understand that but some are unwilling to put in the time necessary to gather all the proper resources and data. Unfortunately, you seem like one of these poor people.[/RANT]
My only comfort to you now is go here and give your phone a proper burial....

My sentiments exactly... You've BRICKED your phone, not had a small glitch that we can fix. Its called brick for a reason because your phone is now only useful as a BRICK! Its not reversible at this time, nor would I suspect it to be reversible in the near future. Next time, read, read, read, read, read... and then read some more before you try to flash some mystery signed-spl.zip that you found on your computer...

yea i made the same mistake a few months back your fones at a better place now...No more updates, no more wipes or backups just ~peace~

Xperia Prototype - Need massive amount of help!

Hello!
In my previous post i asked for the best ROM for the X1, ive already downloaded the image file for a ROM called "EnergyROM_KOVSKY_20090805_Standard".
Now i just want to know how to Apply it to the phone.
What do i need to change in the phone before installing the ROM?
Is it even possible to change ROM in a prototype?
I also have problems updating my ROM (when i tried it before)...RUU gives me error code 262.
AS you may notice, im really retarded when it comes to this, but hopefully i will learn sometime.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.
Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3
Rom-Date: 08/29/08
Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Clock: 528 MHZ
RAM-Size: 256 MB
Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR
Firmware: R1AA017
And please: Dont redirect me to some multi thread that is named "How to flash your phone) Cause ive already tried it, but i dont understand **** there
If someone would be kind enough to give me a step by step walkthrough on how i do to upgrade just that ROM that ive downloaded. And what other programs i need to be able to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance!

deleted post

You need to check in the bootloader(tri-colored screen) what your spl is... In order to flash a custom rom it will need to say this SPL-0.72.01OliNex....if it does not say this then you need to hardspl the phone...if you follow the instructions it is easy. Once this is done then you will need this....copy the ROM you have downloaded into the CustomRUU folder and execute the file. If this does not work....you will need to format your memory card(Fat32) and follow these instructions, plus there is a video tutorial regarding all the procedures you need....the instructions are as basic as one can get.
Good luck.
Regards,
WC

btw, being rude to other users isn't going to help you get your questions answered any faster. Updating roms isn't that hard anymore, but you need to be carefull and know what you're doing. If you don't understand how flashing works and what you need to do for that, you can read the stickies in this rom section. I think it's explained very clearly and step by step lots of times.
edit: looking at all your posts, it seems you've asked the same about three times, and most things kan be found easily by google or the xda forum search. Maybe try a bit harder before asking here?
if you don't like criticism, just ignore my post; everybody has to learn to work with windows mobile, but the only way is to try a lot yourself, search, try some more, search again, then ask and try some of the answers given. Don't get agitated when not everyone is giving you the right answer in clear steps, most of the users are trying to explain as good as they can with the information provided.

the guides are pretty thorough...
if you read them its clear enough...
(assuming you want to use non official Sony roms - you need to flash your hardspl so you wont get errors... (think this is where you're stuck)...
download a hardspl and flash it via activesync)
Then
copy the rom into your sd card root directoy...
rename it to kovsimg.nbh
hit the reboot switch while holding down power and the down vol button to start the update process
this is the easiest way...
but as above, if you want shortcuts for everything and dont read the instuctions clear you MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR PHONE...

I'ts a difference in writing a post with no meaning and a post like you just did.
Example: You start a new thread, no matter what it's about. There are two guys responding.
One guy is giving you this as a answer: Lol, thats kinda noobish that you dont know how to use your phone.
The second guy answers just like you did, you gave me information and links on where and what to search for. But still points out that theres many "obvious" stuff that im asking for.
Big difference.
Back to topic. I've already figured out how to do all, i have all the files that i need.
The problem is that when i try and update the SPL to 1.00.X1 instead of thje other 1.02.Olinex (or what its called) I always get a connetion error 262.
Ive read the links that you gave me before, and it says that you need to either softreset, change usb port or reboot your computer. Guys in another thread gives the same instructions.
Still no success.
So since i've done my searching, done the exact procedure that you should do. And it's still not working. Is that still something just "obvious" to ask for?
And i apologize if i hasn't been clear enough in this thread that the phone im using is a proto. And i still haven't been confirmed by some other proto user that this method is acctually working.
I'm thankfull for all the (helpfull) responses i get. And im trying them all.
If something else comes up i will post it in this thread. No matter if its obvious or not.
Have a nice day everyone!

Looks like there's a connection error when your phone reboots to go into tri-color boot menu.
Google for USB Mass storage device, download the driver and install it and then try again.
Of course you have to find the right driver for your OS.

haha, damn, thats obvious, that i didnt think of that before. hehe, thank you!
Btw, if the phone gets into the tricolor menu, and the progressbar shows up (but still stuck at 0%) can it still be because the driver?
Thanks

if its stuck at 0% it means you're not flashing a compatible rom...
obviously you havent flashed the spl...
flash a OFFICIAL sony rom first... if you still have issues at least you know its either the 'prototype' hardware
or your PC...
which i'd suggest try flashing from another PC...

Oh, im sorry if i didnt expressed myself good enough.
When im using X1_HardSPL i get the 284 update error.
When in using the custom RUU i get the 262 error.
So i guess the X1_HardSPL application is to change SPL?
If i cant seem to change SPL i wont be able to change rom either. Correct?
Since i have the SPL that was shipped with the phone, can i still upgrade from R1A to R3A without changing SPL?

Have you disabled any of your firewall and anti virus programs when you try using the software?
I previously always had to disable my zonealarm firewall before I could uset he spl software....

Yes I've done.

yes if you have the stock SPL you can upgrade from R1a to R3a with the standard SE update utility.
which can be downloaded at the SE site under support.

The Phone is still a Proto.....
Therefor not accepted by SEUS

Try flashing the official Sony Ericsson ROMs first. No need to Hard-spl for those.

I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

And if you try to flash via ActiveSync with CustomRUU? That worked most of the times with my X1. Oh wait, that got you the error 262.
In one of your other threads someone says (or you quoted) that one of the advantages of a proto was that there's no security check, which means it might not even be necessary to use HardSPL first.
I've had error 262 a few times; just try to flash again, maybe from another computer if that's possible. You can also try to flash another rom first.
Which roms have you tried flashing? Have you tried with a freshly formatted sd-card smaller than 2 gb (although I think that won't have any effect); you can also try renaming kovsimg.nbh with all small letters, all capitals or the way you just spelled it. It might be important.
offtopic: I get your point on the reactions you get when opening new threads. Everything is simple when you now where to look or if you've done it before, but it can be very hard to find the answer when there's so much info to choose from.
That said: a topic title of something like "having trouble flashig a custom rom to prototype" sounds a bit more serious then "need massive help" with a lot of exclamation marks. That might set people off on the wrong foot.

Windows Mobile 6.5 for Touch HD??

Hi,
I'm new to forums so apologies if I sound inexperienced!! I've got an HTC touch HD that I got from the carphone warehouse in the UK (connected to o2). It's currently got windows 6.1 but I'm wondering if it's possible to install 6.5 on it. HTC are telling me no but I've heard others have done it.
If it's possible can someone direct me to the download file and explain what I need to do to complete the install?
Many thanks
JW83

Install HSPL (up) and instal rom. There are many here. Sorry for my English I do not know good English. It is not difficult when I was able too.

It is possible, read the sticky threads, they will point you in the right direction.
But be aware you lose your warranty with WM6.5 on there. Just make sure you read up and understand before taking the plunge And welcome to the forum.

The warranty-thing is not really true: if you don't read the steps etc, and your phone gets bricked (just software), HTC will not replace it for you.

This is where you need to start. Read this Guide carefully and then read it again for good measure. If you have any further specific questions then ask them in that thread and you'll get helped.

Post your problems in the Dummies Guide thread please. You'll get help there as this one will probably be closed soon. Please also give more details of the errors, ie what error code you get and whether you have used uspl or hspl.

As above, please post in relevant thread and myself or someone else will assist you. ClydeB1 has already provided link to thread.
