I'd like to know who all here have flashed the 2.06 rom and reflashed to another or downgraded back to the original because of rom instability.
If you have please post the instability issues you had and which rom you flashed to and why.
I have some instability issues but I'm trying to decide if I should try another rom and then I have to determine which rom.
X
Mods if this should be put somewhere else lock it and I'll repost in the thread you suggest.
I really liked that ROM, and I hate carrier customizations. But then XDA Live 0.1 came out and changed everything.
I had cingy rom installed but installed "Special K's" XDA-LIVE.
Still running 2.06 - waiting for a few WM6 issues to be sorted before I flash it - Slingplayer for one

Slingplayer and FizzTraveller are a deal breaker for me. I cannot go to any rom where those 2 items won't work.
Are you having lockups with 2.06?
I have the new Cingular ROM on my 8525 and have been running it a few weeks. I like it (and find it stable) ... check out this thread I started and am trying to maintain dealing with known issues on the new ROM and some solutions (definitely check out the registry hacks on the wiki for this).
Personally, these issues are minor annoyances to me, and I have no thoughts of downgrading to the older ROM.

Is that because you watch entirely too much television, or because you paid entirely too much for mobile TV?!?
Just kidding, but not really.
bricked.
I flashed my JASJAM to the latest Cingular ROM, and noticed the bizarre SD card going missing problem. I tried to flash it back to the HTC ROM from November, and the stupid phone reset itself in mid-flash. Bricked.
No matter what I did, I couldn't get it back. The phone worked fine, except for the "NO GSM" error... which means no phone functions. I even put the 1.01 bootloader on there (but then it wouldn't let me upgrade it to 1.04). It refused to write to the radio portion of the ROM. I followed every instruction on here multiple times, with no luck, tried every ROM out there, tried every command (the erase... commands, etc). MTTY just showed it hanging every time on "Entering Radio Loader".
It's in California now, hopefully they'll be able to fix it. I'm sure they're going to charge me a small fortune since it's obvious I was screwing with it (it boots up with a 1.01 bootloader, and has an HTC logo on the splash, when it should be JASJAM).
In the meantime, I'm back on my Motorola L6. Oh god. I forgot how painful GPRS is. I'm lucky to get 23kbps.
I upgraded to the 2.06 rom and had all the decribed problems identified on this forum. I kept 'losing' all the contents of my sd card (a real problem with all the tomtom maps loaded plus music and photos)...couldn't get smartdial back to full function even with some updates...and i did face 3 or 4 freezes a day with the rom. I also couldn't get xm radio to stream properly (wouldn't load windows media player to stream music). I finally reflashed back to the original Cingy rom and have everything working good again. I hope when Cingular officially releases this rom update they will have these problem addressed and fixed.

FizzTraveller doesn't work on the Cing ROM? Yikes, I didn't see that mentioned anywhere. Where did you see that?
Wow. I saw none of this. I actually really liked the "AT&T" 2.06 ROM on my TyTN - even better than the 2.05 ROM which was supposed to be "vanilla". It sucks that you guys had problems...

@dwcliff: No problems flashing back to the original ROM, then? I am not SuperCID. If I give the 2.06 and want to go back, that shouldn't matter, right?

I tried it (as well as the WWE Test ROM) and quickly reverted back to 1.35 afterwards. I could not successfully sync with two 'puters with either AKU3 version. I could sync OK with the first 'puter, then sync OK with the second 'puter, but as soon as I went to sync again with the first, ActiveSync would delete my existing partnership and ask me to create a new one, then the process would be repeated when I tried to sync with the second, ad infinitum...

I have upraded my Vario2 to the following settings:
IPL-1.04, SPL-2.10.Olipro,
with Radio V-1.41.00.10 and WM6 pro Black 3.0.1 ROM .
The upgrading went perfect with no problems.
The device boot properly.
The only problem is that the data connection stays on GPRS where I know there is a 3G connect.
T-Mobile support dont want to help solving this problem.
Any Idea anyone?
Regards
Lior Lavon.
umm to my understading T-MOBILE only has EDGE not 3G...at least in the U.S.

Well it is not the case in holland, TMobile has 3G and UMTS.
Any way I had 3G before I upgraded the device.
Have you tried putting your Radio Rom back to 1.40 just to see if that makes a difference?

I take it you had 3G before you upgraded? I would point the fault at the operator settings have you reinstalled these since the upgrade? You will need to search on xda for the operator settings there are cab files for them.
Have you tried flashing black 3.0.1 again? I know this sounds weird but I had the same problem at first, when I reflashed it, I had 3G again

1) Yes I had a 3G before and I lost it after the upgrade process.
2) I followd the instruction in T-Mobile site about the requested configuration.
3) I will look for the cab files you mentioned about the operetor setting.
What would be a good test? to change my Radio or my ROM version?
And to what version?

Here is the cab file you require below. Have you checked with t-mobile that the service is ok where you are? If this is not the problem, I would first try a soft reset, if no improvement try a hard reset. Failing that try downgrading your radio to 1.40 as I found this radio version better than 1.41. (remember to soft reset after, and remember the radio upgrade/downgrade will not cause you to lose anything you have saved on your device). If this does not work then try reinstalling the black rom.
But I would bet it is the operator settings.
Close, but no cigar......

The Dutch settings for T-Mobile (not the UK ones, @boz ) can be found >HERE< - this is by far the easiest thing to try before you get stuck in with downgrading radio versions or reflashing the ROM....well, IMHO it is

I am having problem with the internet after flashing the new rom. I've tried resetting the profile, client IOTA (No response), hard reset, soft reset, reflashed and to no avail. Please advise.
did u let sprint install all the customized software after 1st flash?
Problem solved. I installed IOTA.cab separately so that it can run. Thanks.

Someone mind rapidsharing this? I dont have the tools to get to my extended ROM, I made my own IOTA cab from bits I copied back out of the Sprint ROM after it was flashed.

I also have extremely slow data transfers and high latency after installing DCD's kitchen 3.0. I'll give IOTA a try and hopefully it will fix it.
Edit: IOTA errors out for me, guess its back to the stock rom for me.

I flashed the new Sprint ROM. I then did the ##728# stuff and changed to Rev. A. I let the Sprint Customizations Run as it booted the first time. I I took a drive and tested the GPS. It worked great. I also tried the Rev. A. I could see no difference in performance. Latency seemed down.
Then I used the "Clear Storage" program under Settings/System. While it was rebooting, I soft reset as soon as the Sprint Customizations began loading. I didn't want the bloatware installed.
Evidently I cleared the IOTA. It would be great if someone could post that cab here so we could try. The device did seem to work without the Sprint stuff loaded. Latency was poor.
All,
Any WM6.1 Std. on Cingular 3125 users here? Can someone give me their take on how well this upgrade works and how overall happy or unhappy they are with the upgrade? I am very interested in doing the upgrade, but don't want to lose features or find that usability is not reliable, or that the upgrade works but 6.1 Std is less "responsive" than WM5. I know there is a certain amount of risk, and I am pretty tech-savvy, so I am not too worried about that, but want to hear from others that are using this, whether they are really satisfied or not. Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
Frank

You wont loose features (other then the bloatware that is built in by AT&T - if you miss that, you might not want to upgrade). As for responsiveness - it is quite snappy - probably even faster then the wm5 rom you're running now (likely largely due to the removal of the bloatware)
rom
download the rom that you currently have, that way if you don't like the wm6.1 (but I can't see why you would not) you can reinstall the original.

Awesome! I freakin' hate the bloatware I have now - and I did not know how to delete it until recently. This sounds great though. THANKS!
Can I ask you another question - I noticed in your signature you are using 6.1 PRO on your 3125. I read some other posts here about PRO being really made for touchscreen devices (the 3125 is not) and STD for non-touch devices. Is that true? Is my current WM5 "STD"? I think I'd be happier with the simpler interface & closer to what I've been using (as opposed to a virtual cursor, etc.). Am I correct that this is the main difference between PRO and STD?

When you say "download the rom that you currently have" - can I download my current rom on my phone, complete with all my settings and everything? Kind of like a full backup? Or do you mean backup another copy of it from Cingular (AT&T)? If so, is there a post here that explains how? This would be awesome!

backup
Backup your current device with a backup program, I use sprite, but any that backs up all of your information is fine.
Then download the official rom for your device. If you decide you do not like your upgrade, you can install the official rom and restore it from your backup.
Both the WM6.1 Standard and Pro will work on your phone, however the Pro version was designed for a touch screen device, Erofich did an amazing job at making this unofficial rom/platform work on the 3125.
Try them both and see which you like, there is plenty of information on this forum to teach you how to use and install programs.

you are right , the pro is for touch screen with the windows logo on the top right of the screen , the std is for non touch screen. you do notice there is a pro version it is made special for this phone. you can try it out and see if you like it. i have been using clean version of 6.1 std since it came out. there is another version called NEO . you can try that too.

Noobie questions (sorry!) Please help!
All,
I downloaded the original Cingular/ATT Rom, just in case, and bought Sprite and backed up my settings. I downloaded SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe and ran it (from my PC, is this correct?). SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe seemed to run okay, and gave me the message "SDA Successfully unlocked, Please Reboot SDA Now!". I rebooted my phone and did not notice a change (I assume I should?) I ran the Rom update for WM6.1 Standard, which opened up a DOS-looking box that stayed there forever and did not indicate it was doing anything. After just over an hour I disconnected my phone and rebooted it, no change.
My questions:
1) Do I run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe from my PC or from the WM phone itself?
2) Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?
3) What does CID Unlock do, and do I need it?
Just to review, I have a Cingular 3125 with WM5, and I want to go to WM6.1 Standard.
Please help! Thanks!

first，you have to unlock you CID flash it to SuperCID, so you can flash it to any rom you want.
1)SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe can only run from your PC, or you may try it in your phone..
2)following the Tutorials and can never go wrong.

Thanks for your reply mike_buaa!
Actually, to set the record straight, especially for anyone else looking to do this with a Cingular 3125 (ONLY), here are the facts, as I ran into them:
1) No, you don't have to unlock the CID (SuperCID). I didn't, on a stock Cingular/AT&T 3125 and it worked fine.
2) SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe was not needed either, in fact it caused problems for me (see #3). Erofich's WM6.1 STANDARD ROM install has it's own version of this app built in and it did all the work.
3) "following the tutorials..." - sorry, and no offense, but that's BS. This site, as well as most if not all Linux sites I've seen suffer from the same "too many cooks" problem. There are sooo many people posting stuff, most with at best a half-knowledge of the required technology, that the noob is hit with a lot of crap to weed through and try. Keep in mind, this is very common with non-moderated Linux sites, and I don't mean any disresepect, but it is reality.
Example to explain #2 and #3: I read in this forum and in the Wiki's here that I needed SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe. It ran fine and dropped a couple of files on my cell. Trying to install the ROM (Erofich's fantastic WM6.1 STD) would crash every time, because it has a version of this same app built-in. I ended up removing SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe's files from my PC and my cell, resetting my cell, and running just Erofich's ROM install and voila! it all worked like a charm. My point: I had to find this out "trial and error", after MANY tries, as a noob, and it was NOT like the forums or Wiki or tutorials said it was. Lesson learned: the tutorials are not gospel.
Thanks,
Frank

Its very important to make it if you have an old bootloader version - 2.04 and older.
And btw, there are my recommendations for never flashed StarTrek devices:
1) make a SuperCID!
2) flash the latest official Cingular 3125 rom (v4.1.502.5) to your StarTrek (even if you have i-mate Smartflip, Qtek 8500, Dopod S300/710(+), Orange SPV F600 or HTC S411)

I wholeheartedly agree with Erofich. I don't know how you possibly got it to work without following Erofich's instructions to the letter - maybe the things you did had a residual effect and finally everything aligned for you.
I am glad things worked out for you but don't disparage the excellent tutorials in this forum - if you read and follow them EXACTLY, it WILL work!
Also, this site is moderated and it does get the job done if you READ READ READ.
I have the Cingular 3125 and had it loaded with the latest official rom. Like Geekzilla I was unable to go through the supercid step. It kept getting stuck & giving me errors. I just ran the upgrade to 6.1 standard and it worked great. I didn't see any reason to backup anything either because I syncronize with an exchange server so all of my contacts and calender entries just reloaded into the new version. It worked great and I recommend it.
I'll also say that it wouldn't hurt to try the pro version for a couple of weeks. It will take some getting used to but it's really fast and it has lots of additional capabilities for power users. My phone locks up when I try to use virtual pointer but I have been able to do everything just using the buttons. To be honest I can't decide which I like better as I keep alternating roms. I only had one problem when going from the pro version to the standard. The fix was to go back and reload the official rom and then reload standard.

With all due respect, I spent a few weeks reading the forums and wikis here before messing with my phone. I did not want to brick it. And just so you know, I am an IT Manager with 16+ years of computer, server, networking and infrastructure experience. I've used cooked ROMs (firmware) for Linksys and Netgear routers. While I may have been a relative noob on hacking my phone, I was not that much of a noob that I cannot follow directions and get it done.
If I said that it worked without SuperCID, then it worked without SuperCID. If you read the reply post after yours, even someone else (Ramfan) explains that this worked for him also. I am pretty sure I even read a previous post from Erofich where he states that the Cingular 3125 ROM works without it.
Anyway, bottom line, I did not mean to get all "pissy" and mean. This is a great site, and you folks have some great stuff here, especially Erofich's ROMs and the others that I am sure also rule. However, truth is, in an open forum like this, there is some great info, and some inaccurate info. It is the nature of the beast, and I was not trying to slam this site, just state a fact. If this offended you, then I apologize.
Thanks,
Frank

While I may have been a relative noob on hacking my phone, I was not that much of a noob that I cannot follow directions and get it done.
If I said that it worked without SuperCID, then it worked without SuperCID. If you read the reply post after yours, even someone else (Ramfan) explains that this worked for him also. I am pretty sure I even read a previous post from Erofich where he states that the Cingular 3125 ROM works without it.
Anyway, bottom line, I did not mean to get all "pissy" and mean. This is a great site, and you folks have some great stuff here, especially Erofich's ROMs and the others that I am sure also rule. However, truth is, in an open forum like this, there is some great info, and some inaccurate info. It is the nature of the beast, and I was not trying to slam this site, just state a fact. If this offended you, then I apologize.
Thanks,
Frank

I initially tried to do the SuperCID and application unlock but I couldn't get either to work with my phone. Maybe it has to do with the initial firmware on the phone. I actually got my 3125 at the AT&T store the day that they first arrived in Richmond, VA. Maybe the later phones needed the application unlock.
I've loaded and reloaded 6 different ROM's on my phone with no trouble. I realized that I was taking a risk but it didn't really matter to me as I have a newer Pantech Duo, 3G phone with WM 6.1. However now that I'm able to use these cooked ROM's on my 3125 it's actually become my everyday phone again.
In comparison between my DUO and 3125 I don't really see much difference in data speeds (3G vs Edge) but I prefer the clamshell design of the 3125.
By the way I'm running Pampooh's 6.1 standard version right now. It's definitely the most suitable rom for this phone that I've found. However I'll be interested in trying any future 6.1 pro roms or 6.5 roms.
Need help with upgrade
Hello, I followed the instructions to upgrade my 3125 to the 6.1 ROM. However, when I run the SPL on the phone I get a quick message "searching for SD card", then the phone goes to red, green & blue stripes with text:
IPL 4.01.0001
SPL 2.04.0000
and nothing happens. Rebooting the phone gets me going again. Then I tried to run the ROMUpdateUtility on the PC and it caused the same thing to happen. The frustrating thing is that I got this working about 6 months ago but had to reset my device. Now I can't seem to get it back to 6.1.
HELP!
Sorry, but my frequent frustration with Windows Mobile eventually got to be too much. I've shelved my WM phone and bought an iPhone. Seriously, I believe it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Good luck!
The Intro: Hello everyone, my phone has a bit of a problem, I bought it about 1 month ago, and it didn't have this problem, so I hope your community can help me and other who have or will have this issue.
The problem: When someone calls my phone, I slide to answer the call, but when I reach the left margin, the bar turns from green to red/ignore and rejects the call, Also sometimes people call me and they cant reach me for some reason the operator sais my phone is off or out of coverage area. (Could be the network, it is pretty busy this time of year) so it's not yet confirmed as a problem.
The story: Skip this if you get bored
I purchased my HD2 from a close friend, unlocked, unbranded, it had HSPL 1.42 on it, and an old version of KWBR's rom. I installed hspl 2.08, and flashed the recent 3.14 version, and updated the radio as well. All was good, but since I flashed the final version I have been experiencing the problem, once every 5 or 6 calls it rejects a call.
What I tried: Hard reset, with no software instaled, Flashed another radio using task29, did flash a different rom also 3.14 based. Nothing worked
Solution:
1. Just use the hard answer button, not exactly comfortable, but hope its temporary
2. Being used to answering with slide, just calling everyone back and apologize
P.S.
I used the search function to find an answer, but no luck, If there is a solution please give me the link to it, and please be patient with me
If I made mistakes in the text, sorry, hope you can understand what I want to say. My english is not the that good.

so you didn't find any of the LOADS of threads that say "you cannot run 3.14 rom with hspl or any spl lower than 3.03.0000"
either stop using 3.14 based roms or upgrade your spl to 3.03.0000
Well, I understand your frustration, but here is an answer for you:
Tryed a 2.13.531.1 based rom, with hspl 2.08. No change
Flashed spl 3.03.0000 with both based roms 2.13.531.1 and 3.14, still no luck.
I did read the LOADS of threads, but I also tried it as I read that it is posible, and it ran fine, still does...
Any other ideias?

I dont want to change the slide to answerscreen, just want it to work. Thanks for your sugestion.
Like samsamuel mentioned it before;
Don't use HSPL and Stock ROM 3.14 together.
Proposal; remove HSPL and flash stock ROM 3.14 again.

Done, stock spl, stock rom, no change.
BUT, I investigated the problem a bit more and this is what I discovered:
When I press the barr to slide to the left, I unintentionally press the right side of the screen, releasing the bar to answer, the right side of the screen is still pressed
Can anyone confirm that my habit is the problem?
