Does anyone know if migrating the Cingular Ext.Rom from 8125 to TyTN will work?
Most probably it will, but you will lose cingular customizations.
If you don't like it, you can always go back to cingular.
Pof,
Thanks for your answer but you might have misunderstood, I wasnt looking at leaving Cingular, just transfering my existing Cingular extRom to my new TyTN so I can keep use their customization on my new phone.
Thanks

Oh sorry, I didn't read abut the 8125... which HTC device is it? if it's a wm5 you can just get the cingular settings CAB from the extROM and run it on your TyTN.
I got my vodafone spain settings from a cab in Universal ExtROM without problems
im also trying to do this. could someone point me to where the cingular ext rom is and how i would go about applying it to the tytn>
Thanks pof,
Its an HTC TyTN. I just got it in the mail at home and want to be sure I understand as much as possible when I move my programs and customizations over from my 8125.
Blues,
I havent done it either, I was going to use the instructions from the wiki (hytn and 8125) on removing and installing the ext.rom.
I will let you know, probably tomorrow since I have to charge the device first.
Thanks
AJH
ok, cingular 8125 == htc Wizard. Right?
You can extract the cingular customizations from the ExtRom:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Extended_Roms/cingular-ExtROM.zip
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Extended_Roms/Cingular_8125_108-ExtRom.rar
Since it is a WM5, there should be no problem on installing the needed CABs on the TyTN, you just have to know which ones have the operator settings, do not install the rest of the cabs found on the ExtROM.
Hope that helps
pof you the man.
Thanks a lot.

Guys...let me know if you get this to work. I wasn't able to get the E icon for edge to work after copying the Cingular Edge .cab files over. It continues to show G for GPRS.

From the Hermes Frequently Asked Questions:
"The reg tweak working for the previous models to show the [E] instead of [G] when you are on the EDGE network is not working on the Hermes "

Hi
I've updated my XDA2 to 2.02 thanks to the information supplied by DCS (as always excellent work Mr!), but I've since realised that I would perhaps be better off with a 2.06 with O2 customisations - even if I then wish to remove the less desirable aspects.
Can someone please point out the easiest way of doing this? It's worth noting I have to change the O2 to CDL whenever I update.
Cheers
Anthony
The best idea would be to combine 2.02 with 2.06, to do this you will need a copy of the extended ROM you used when you upgraded to 2.02. Download 2.06 , put it in a directory and delete the radio.nbf file and any ms.nbf(extended ROM). Copy your extended ROM from the 2.02 upgrade along with the radio.nbf that was there as well.
To combine the 2 roms, you need to make sure you have got any data you want from your phone, then master reset it and and set up your owner details, device name, and most importantly, any bluetooth pairings. Using ActiveSync, do a full backup of your phone in this state. Next you need to reflash your phne by running the 2.06 upgrade (you will need to use dcs's operatorupdate.bat to change the operator code to cdl first). When the flash is complete, hard reset it again and then enter your user details and device name, but not bluetooth this time. Put your phone in the cradle and restore your phone with the backup you made. You will then have the best of both worlds- a decent 2.06 cleartype etc along with BT handsfree profile from 2.02!
I hope this is clear, there are similar (and probably better!) instructions here, but they have been designed for an Australian XDA.

Thanks for that findus...
I'm curious though, why is it important to do the bluetooth stuff before applying 2.06? Is there something wrong with simply rerunning the upgrade with the 2.06 files?
Not sure if it's worth the extra hassle (would anyone consider it a "hassle"?) and also am I really missing that much with 2.02 compared to .06?
Cheers
Anthony
The reason for installing bluetooth devices whilst on 2.02t and backing up is because 2.06 does not support handsfree profile, only headset so it is up to you which one you need, I personally found 2.02 better than 2.06 but i like having them combined now, so I suppose it is all down to whether you can be bothered!! 2.02 is fine though, I had it for weeks and it was very stable.
Fin
I decided to take the plunge and updated it as per the instructions above.
One thing though, which applications included in the ext rom are really that necessary? From what I can see some of them aren't and also as I've got rid of a couple I now can't get it to show in landscape mode. When I go to the Screen option it has lost the options for Portrait / Landscape Left / Right.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Anthony

Thanks to Sin. My iMate couldn't be any faster The new ROM installed referred hereinbefore is xtreamly stable, fast and bug-free (YET) :wink:
Pal, the OS suits my xda super well.
At least the hide n' seek BT icon on Today screen is no more there.
For all those hesitating I say go ahead and upgrade...

Here is a new rom from the still unreleased Cingular 8525: HTC Hermes (HERM100) branded from U.S. Operator Cingular.
ROM Version: 1.30.502.1
ROM Date: 08/21/06
Radio: 1.11.00.00
Protocol: 32.47.7018.00H
As always, download link on the wiki upgrading page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
If you have questions be sure to read the Hermes wiki first, specially the Upgrading FAQs.
Notes on this ROM:
* Cingular 8525 doesn't have front camera, you'll need to install cab files from other ExtROM to enable video calling (I used TyTN ExtROM on mine).
* Left button is mapped to push-to-talk application still unavailable on the rom, so it is unuseful. You can map it to any other APP using 3rd party software to remap hardware buttons.
Enjoy
if i upgrade to the cingular 8525 rom, will my tytn still be unlocked? or will it be locked to cingular?
It will still be unlocked. The network lock doesn't depend on the rom you're using.
Guys
Any ideas as to who/what website released this ROM?

What is the OS build?

OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0), so it's AKU 2.3 as all the other available ROMs until now.
i just installed the cingular 8525 rom! and now U CANT DO A LOCK IN ON GSM OR WCDMA MODE! (that menu been removed!)
i going back to the Imate rom!
Trying it now, thanks for the link! It also seems that the MMS limit is increased to 600K!

I am on the cingular rom, and my menu exists. Go to:
Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Band -> Select your network type. The options are Auto, GSM and WCDMA.
If you don't have it by default probably it's on the ExtROM, as I said I installed the ExtROM from TyTN, try it.

Any comments as to the stability of this ROM on a TyTN?
Do we know what the different files in the EXT_ROM are for?

1) hard reset
2) do the usual alignment stuff, copy-paste, etc...
3) soft-reset before it starts installing the cingular ExtROM (customizations), you have 3 seconds
4) Unhide your extrom (you can also use fit4cat hermes tweaker for this)
5) Extract the contents of TyTN ExtROM to a folder in your miniSD card.
6) click on the CABs files you want to install, this is what I installed on mine:
From TyTN's ExtROM (on SD):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
MP_mHub_060630.CAB
MT_PC_Hermes_Qtek_WWE_060621.CAB
P_Generic_UI.CAB
PP_3-AP-Patch.CAB
PP_ace-certs.CAB
VT_Engine_23818_ext.CAB
From Cingular's ExtROM (unhided):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
MMS disapeared and I had to install the CAB 3 times, i used both from TyTN and from Cingular, then setup a default account settings and sent an MMS and received another (I sent it to myself from another mobile phone) and after that it stayed and no more problems with MMS.
I also installed the TyTN green theme (.tsk) because I like how it looks
Hope that helps.
Does the Cingular ROM or EXT_ROM contain the Cyberon VoiceDialer?
(I hope not!)
Yes, it's on the ROM but it's not mapped to any hardware button.
interesting.. BAND selection tab (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) is present in the ROM if Cingular extended ROM is not installed. it is being removed during Extended ROM installation procedure. more over, none of this Cingular CAB files are responsible for removing BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) tab.
I have skipped Extened ROM installation, verified that BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) band selector is still present and then installed all Cingular extended ROM cab files one by one. supprisingly enough - band selector is still there. there must be some other invisible configuration file in the extended rom. gprs connection is not auto configured either.
@superduper: probably you need to soft reset for the changes made by cab files to take effect. If you want to know which cab file disables it you have to install one, soft-reset, install another one, soft-reset and so on...
never mind
here is. i have selected the line in registry that needs to be changed to:
dword:00000001
default value for this line is : dword:00000000

UPDATE: phone settings.reg file is attache to this message. one needs simply import this file into device registry. no soft reset is required.
P.S. It would be goos if fit4cat will add this feature to his hermes tweaker.
Great finding
Guys, is Cing Video now activated and available as an option?
Thanks.
Is it me or does the ExtROM Unlocker only unhide the Extended ROM on this build - leaving it still read-only / protected?
I tried with fit4cat and the Hermes MountExtROM.cab but no luck modifing contents.
Hi,
I just got my new T-Mobile MDA Vario II this morning and the first thing I did was upgrade the Rom from T-Mob 1.21.110.3 to Cing 1.34.502.1.
The main thing I noticed was that I lost my 'Quick Launch' buttons from the 'Today' desktop page i.e. Contacts, Organiser, Web&Walk etc.
How can I get them back?
Thanks,
Mark
operator customizations go in extrom, search te wiki for t-mob extrom and try to find which cab file contains what you want, then install it.
Thankyou very much
It was in CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_HER_TMUK-UXC_12JUN06.CAB
G'Day,
After reading and re-reading the wiki and lots of threads, I took the plunge and flashed my JasJam.
I now have Black 2.0, Radio 1.38.30.10, SPL 1.11.Olipro. Once all that was done, installed all the CABs from JASJAM_1.31.305.103_ExtROM_Telstra.
While I don't think I actually flashed the ExtROM (I suspect I would've noticed) I just unzipped the JASJAM_1.31.305.103_ExtROM_Telstra, copied everything to my SD and ran Autorun.
Now that I'm all done, I just recieved an email from our support guys saying that there is a new iMate Telstra ROM available. I'm d/ling the exe file and given the size, I suspect it's going to be an OS and maybe the ExtROM.
Is there any way I can deconstruct the file and just get the CABs that I want (i.e. Foxtel by Mobile, Telstra MyPlace...)?
Thanks,
Baggy

The new ExtROM is on the Wiki... there is not much change to the new ROM... just some bluetooth patches that you must not install if you are running Black 2.0

As far as I could see, the vew ROM version was Telstra specific as it had the Foxtel and Bigpond MyPlace. I assumed that these would be in the ExtROM. Is that correct?

Need some advice folks. Currently on an assignment in Australia and have just upgraded my Cingular 8125 to a Dopod 838 Pro. I'm with Telstra. Problem is any time I reboot the phone, the Network Wizard executes and errors out. Fine. I manually load Network settings but then i find out a couple of hours later that my manual settings have just disappeared.
I've scoured this site and see that I can do a variety of things, including loading the latest JasJam ROM. Regardless, whats the issue and short of doing a ROM upgrade (did plenty on my 8125, so it doesnt frighten me) what can i do?
Please advise.

Theres a file on DopodAsia's wedsite for Tesltra users, it enables newer settings. You put it in your MyDocs folder on the Dopod, and basically boot up. It uses the file, updates Network Wizard and will work properly. Its due to Tesltra's codes changing and the launch of NextG.

You wont be able to get these files unless you have a dopod serial to register with. I would suggest maybe you flash the newest telstra rom instead of the 838

hmmm weird. try again with attachment for cab file for telstra.
installs other stuff so beware like a proxy changes ie default and wap. all can be undone but gives u ur settings.
just saw this...
after my last post maybe helps u
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284812
it is ur device and australia specific.
Thanks folks for so many rapid responses... I was able to get the Network Wizard "fix" from Dopod's Australian service center yesterday. Unfortunately, I purchased the phone from ebay and the previous owner had already registered the serial number, so it's not letting me re-register. I've called Dopod directly to proces my registration, but they've not called me back yet.
simon_darley: will that .cab file set all the required settings on WM6? (I am considering upgrading to WM6, and a Cab file with all the Telstra settings would be nice and easy)
Does it add any of the Telstra software?
telstra aust cabs
the previous cab was the old one from the original rom released when the phone was sold and was incomplete so far as mms and other settings.
attached here is the latest from a new imate rom compulsory for telstra users and in conjunction with telstra proposed phone/data upgrade of their system should work more effectively.
i also use the telstra recommended imate radio upgrade 1.38.30.1 i think it is.
all of which runs perfectly now on wm6 including the wm6 media streaming which imate wm5 requires pvplayer as ms didnt release media streaming until wmK.
so now it works perfectly with foxtel video streaming and in 2 wks should allow simultaneous voice data connectivity which the telstra hw upgrade shouldfix for us.
i also include the my place cab which allows foxtel and videos to stream without using the download mb limits. so if u access foxtel via my place over next g it doesnt count towards the mb usage.
i have all the cabs from the upgrade and post them here for what i used only but in reality u may only need 1 or 2. i have all but installed only 5.
the ext rom in full is on xda dev if u want to download. i dont really know wot the other 3 do so installed and didnt cause any harm.
hmmm something odd nxt post should contain attachments... lost wifi...! bak soon
