Also found out that its a G4 because of the Ip number or w/e because it has 3 zeros then a 1 for example .0001

[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.

issues updating ROM

whats up guys?
I seem to be having a problem updating my rom
I have tried numerous ROMs from the site, but for some reason it always gives me a error when I attempt to download it.
Has anyone heard of this problem or can hand me any advice?
Thanks A lot
-Chris

What's up 2 u.
Have you read the Wiki or any of the stickies? If not, before you go any further, and make a paperweight of you device, you may want to read a little. You can't just slap a new ROM on there. You first need to prepare the phone. Lucky for you your device failed instead of breaking. Seems the phone is smarter than the owner.

"...the phone is smarter than the owner"
there is no need to be condescending, a simple answer leading me to the right direction would have sufficed.
I would thank you for your help, but I cant thank a person with a attitude as demeaning as yours....now my advice to you would be to grow up.
ciao

i got the same replies for some of the "senior members" on here, it's normal.
You say, you get an error while "downloading?!". do you mean, downloading the roms from the mirrors or an error while flashing the rom. If it's during the update, what error exactly?
I flashed my phone the first time last tuesday (NoThrill Rom, Hardspl, new radio) with the help of the wiki. To save you the work searching the wiki pages
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserROM_FlashingFAQ
1.) How to backup your old Rom for warranty return http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1586817
or download the right rom here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
2.)Read through the HardSPL threads (if you don't understand it, read several times) http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions? and choose the right HardSPL version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
(Searching for JumpSPL?? it's in the attachment of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061 )
3.) Read through the rom flashing process http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserIntroductionToROM_Flashing
4.) choose a rom here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Cooked_ROMs or from the rom developement board in the forum and flash it
5.) Check if you need a new radio (read through the thread for your rom) if you experience any problems
This is how i've done it. Took me about 5 or 6 hours for everything. If you have any problems with the flashing, all problems are known and there are threads about it
Good Luck with your phone.

Hey, thanks a lot.
Its a communication error during the update.
You have been really helpful with those links, I appreciate the time you took to reply.
have a good day.

totally confused....about JUMP-SPL and HARD-SPL

I have watch videos...read instruction etc, etc, all I could on ATT Tilt/Kaiser flashing...I still don't have a clue. Do I do some type of CID unlock 1st....then is there a Jump SPL and than a Hard SPL. Is any of them two done from the boot loader screen. I can fix most electronics but I don't understand.. no you-tube video...i saw it on flashing the kaiser....sound quality bad for the hard of hearing (me).

Goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
Download Jump SPL and Run it. Then the hard-spl. This will then allow you to flash the custom ROMs on your Kaiser.
Regards,
Carty..

I just went through this a few days ago trying to flash my first custom rom. I have to agree it is incredibly confusing and contradicting, which is why I'm taking the time to post this. Just read as much as you can about it and don't try to flash the rom until you understand. I am no expert on this by any means, but this is what i did on my tilt to flash HardSPL. I tried to make this as simple as possible just so you see the exact steps I went through, but i highly recommend reading the thread linked in the previous post by Carty above and the other link I'm posting at the very end.
1. download JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061.
2. get the hardSPL version you need for your rom. I used v3.56 from the link Carty gave you in the post above, because the rom I am using was based on the official att 6.1 rom. You may need a different one for the rom you want to flash I don't know too much about this yet. Leave the folder where you unzipped the hardspl files open on your desktop so you wont have to look for it later.
3. connect your phone to the PC, and transfer JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe over to your phone with activesync. Remove your microsd card if you have one on your phone (very important).
4.run JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe on your phone, it should go to a bootloader mode with the tricolor screen and underneath it will say USB.
5.Unplug the phone from the PC, wait about 5-10 seconds and plug it back in. Activesync should NOT be able to recognize your phone. If it does, something went wrong so start over.
6. Finally you can run the KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the hardSPL folder on your pc desktop and follow the instructions. It will load the HardSPL on your phone.
7. if you want to make sure it loaded, shut down your device and when your are turning it on press both the power and camera button at the same time, it will go into bootloader mode and show you what SPL is on your device. mine says SPL-3.56.Hard after I loaded the hardspl. You are now ready to flash a new rom.
This wiki helped me the most:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Read as much of it as you can, especially the "SPL questions?" link, that was the most useful for me.
I hope this helps

All good advice! I just loaded the HardSPL on my phone for the first time and it worked perfectly.
Now all i need is a work connection that doesnt block my attempts to download ROM's!!!!!!

Unfortunately this is the Kaiser forum and you will get even less help here.
Post your questions in the Diamond forum and people will help,when and if they are able. And in the meantime, read and search and try to figure it out for yourself, All the steps and instructions are there.
Sometimes people, unfortunately, mistake this site for the HTC free support line, with 12 techs waiting at their PC's to help. Then they get irritated that no one answers their requests for help on a timely basis . If people won't or can't answer your questions then you need to figure it out on your own.
The bottom line is, if you don't know what you are doing, then you shouldn't be messing around with your phone. Sorry

And what I said was that this was the Kaiser forums and not the Diamond forums. Putting Kaiser Spl's on a Diamond will brick your phone faster than throwing it into a bucket of water. So I gave him a link to the Diamond forum and Diamond Security/CID/Sim unlocker.
How is your question related to the Kaiser forums ?

Will it work on my TP/Excalibur? No as phones have different hardware to which is why h-spl's are device specific.
The best way to help yourself and not get a brick "expensive paperweight" is to head to device subforum and do some reading, as last thing you want is to be creating a thread named "Help"

Since I cannot find anything helpful in Diamond forum, I dig around in other forums to try to rescue my phone and make it usable.

Which is a recipe for diasaster...seriously, if you are gonna do something as stupid as to try to make something SPECIFICALLY for another device work on yours, then you do not deserve to own a Diamond.

Im A newb, Plz help!

Please keep in mind im a complete newb to smart phone. I just got my ATT tilt, and I want to do some mod to it. My phone comes with WindowsMobile 6.1. I download some .cab files and tried to open. Some opened and some didn't, so my phone is in kind of a mess right now. What should I do? I want to completely reformat my phone if possible. Should I stay with wm6.1 or what else should I do? Please keep the post as simple as possible, because I am very new to the smartphone language. Thanks.

To "Format" your phone back to the Factory Settings your should perform a "Hard Reset". More info can be found in the Wiki here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Kaiser_Resets
Please take your time to familiarise your self with the wiki (Espicially the HTC_Kiaser page and what it links to).
Thanks
Dave

Take the time to read through the wiki and the forums related to your device. There is a wealth of information that can not be summarized in a few paragraphs.
It is well worth your time to be patient and read the material provided here.

Hi vtonyv!
Carefully read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
The first item on the check list is this file that you need to unlock your phone for flashing custom ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=232404&d=1254155235
The second item in the checklist states that the phone must be connected via active sync or Center for windows mobile in order to unlock you rphone.
You must do this otherwise you will get a error message like the one you described.
So, take your time and read the WHOLE first thread in the top of my post, and and after that go look around this forum for a nice ROM to try.
I recomend any of NRGZ28 ROMs. They show you what your phone should have been when you bought it.
The easiest way to flash your Topaz is to use the SD-card flashing method.
Please look in this excellent guide how to flash your phone!:

Good luck and just take it slow!!
