Hello everyone!
I recently upgraded my Cingular 8125 (G4 version) to WM6 Farias edition. I've also installed the radio rom version 02.61.11 but noticed that at times call do not come in and when voicemails are left i do not get a notification. Dont know if its due to the radio version i'm running so i decided to ask the rest of Cingular 8125 users to see if they have a radio rom that may be more stable.
I also noticed that GRPS disconnects when a call comes in and it re-connects when the call its released. I've heard of certain radio roms that actually stay connected while the phone its been used... anyone knows which one will that be?
Thanks in advance!

The T-Mobile 2.19 radio is the one that most use to alleviate missed calls/voicemails. The newer ones have benefits to signal aquisition and signal strength over this and stock radios, but what good does that do you if the calls and voicemails dont come through
There are some on Cingular in the US that have radios above 2.19 working with no issues but they seem to be few and far between.
I have also not had any issues at all with the 2.61 radio with Faria's rom in my signature. How well it works with other roms I don't know as I haven't flashed my wizard since I flashed that combination on it. My wife uses it now and has had no call issues.
Thanks Zzan!
I downloaded the tmobile 02.19.11 radio and tried to flash my phone with it but got the following error message:
ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for yoru PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
I've gotten several replies from other Cingular 8125 users who like you have told me it'll fix my sms/voicemail problem.
I just tried installing Cingular_2.25.11_Radinly.zip and i got the same error message:
ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for yoru PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
I'm loving WM6 but the fact that some calls dont come in and I have to continously keep checking my voicemails to see if new vm came in pretty much sucks.... I'm considering going back to the stock rom since i cant get neither radio version to work on my phone...

Have you tried running it from more than one computer? I have seen where this works for some people. Also try a soft reset of the phone and a reboot of the pc before attempting. If that doesn't work you can try booting straight to the bootloader then kicking off the install once you see USB in the corner. In any case you should be fine on WM6 if you can get the 2.19 radio to flash.
I just tried another PC here at work. I installed MS Activesinc 4.5 and tried flashing it with 2.19.11 but same error message.
I'll continue to try and post any progress (if any) LOL
I"m going to try reseting the phone and restarting the pc now.
Thanks for helping me out giving other suggestions.

Done deal!!!
Finally got it to Flash using the Tmobile UK 02.19.11 version.
I replaced the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe with the one included in the WM6 Faria Step 4 folder.
Ran the update utility and it flashed the phone without a problem.
Time to test it but i've gotten several replies stating that it should be a lot more stable than the one i had.
Thanks again and hope the info above could help other users having the same problem.
brother.... So i have the same issue with my 8125 ..G4 with wm6...missed call and no notification for voicemail...
tried radio 2.69 farias ..still no use...
Have u been able to resolve it? please help me...Let me install the Tmobile UK 2.19 radio now....
please advice.....
I have upgraded and downgraded many times, never with a failure. I just upgraded to PDAVIET 4.0003. Went without a hitch but now my phone will not stay on the network, also it will every few minutes complain that there is no sim card. Card is fine as tested in my other phones. The interesting part is it functions fine on any 2.2 ROM.
Tried Smart1's True's and all PDAVIET, no WM6 allows the phone to work.
Cold resets don't resolve the issue. Is there something that could have gotten corrupted that is part of the phone OS and not in the ROM's?
I am at a loss to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks for reading, any advice/suggestions is appreciated.
ron1n, what is the network protocol for your provider?
Do you use pap or chap, the setting choice in CommManager?
Is network set for auto in phone dialog?
In your connection settings, do you use Server assigned ip address or auto?
Since i have upgraded to PDAviet i have almost the same problem.
After soft-resetting my device no gsm connection is found.
The only solution is to go into phone option and start the manual search.
If it's connected it works without any problems.
Strange thing....I also tested a few gsm roms but always the same experience.

Reflash Radio ROM (2.47.21 or 2.69.21 will work)
To reply to all of your suggestions. I have tried 5 different radio roms, none will see the phone network (GSM not GPRS) for more than a few seconds with a weak signal, then they fail and either go to flight mode or say that the SIM is missing. To reiterate, this was working fine up until yesterday with a few different WM6 ROM's. Coincidentally, the rear speaker failed at the same time. I resolved that issue, but the lack of phone service persists, although all AKU 2.2 ROM's work fine. Very curious....

It is CHAP, although I am referring to the phone service not wireless GPRS. My network is configured for auto, although if I switch to manual (due to the lack of consistent conntection), it will not be able to see any networks, except briefly and intermittently.

WM6 Sim Card issues [solution, use radio rom 2.19.21]
I've been using WM6 for awhile now, I've tried SMART1.3, PDAVIET 4.0.0.01, 4.0.0.0.3,4.0.0.0.3a and finally 4.0.0.0.4 .. but yesterday i tried to flash back to SMART1.3. After downgrading and upgrading, i got unknown sim status ! since yesterday , I've change my Radio Rom and OS ( I've tried almost everything ) but i can't get my phone to work in WM6 !! when i flash back to wm5 ( any AKU 2.2 version ) i have no problem with phone or GSM but as soon as I upgrade to WM6, I got unkown Sim status ... anybody , have any Ideas ?!!
Same Problem !
I have exactly the same problem !! it's not from radio ROM or OS !! I've tried 3 different version of radio ROM, and almost every single WM6 OS that is out there ! my phone stop responding yesterday after i changed my OS from PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.4 to SMART1.3 ! since then I've tried everything, but I can't get the phone to work in any WM6 OS! although WM5 (any version of it) is okay !

Did it used to work?
Yes , it used to work ! I've been using WM6 for more than 2 weeks with no problem! recently I upgrade my os to PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.4, but I decide to change the OS back to SMART 1.3, after I changed it back, i got the error "Unknown SIM card , without the pin you can call emergency calls only" I tried my pin and PUK , but none works ! So i changed the OS to WM5 again. I've tried couple of different version of WM5 (JESTER, NVID) and I've found the phone works perfectly in wm5 !! as I said before I tried re-flashing my Radio ROM, but it didn't help !! i still can't get my phone to work in WM6 ! any of Pocket PC gurus, have any suggestion ?
S200 Gone Wacko with WM6 and I don't know why
Hello people
Okay so here is the situation, since about last week I have been using PDAViet 4.0.0.3 on my Qtek S200
Now I love this ROM..so much so that I spoon with it at night...um...crap lol Its fast and lite...but something went terribly terribly wrong yesterday
So around 1pm I disconnect my phone from my computer, and notice a "X" in the data connection arrows...okay I thought nothing of it. I go to a restaurant, get a phone call from my brother, and talk, and everything is fine. From there it went bonkers...it kept on trying to connect a GSM signal, and then would go out to no service...it would keep on trying and trying, and bogging down my phone....
So finally i got it stablize (with an EDGE data signal i thought) and of course a voice signal and went on my merry 2 hour drive back home to Montreal.
When I got to Montreal and was waiting in the dead moving traffic jam, I wanted to check the Windies cricket score on BBC, so I take out my phone and try to make a data connection. But again the X showed...i rebooted my phone and signal about 10 or 20 times, and finally got something...however by the time that happend I had arrived at home so i went and used my computer.
The GSM signal stayed, but I dont know if I had a data connection. I then went to a funeral, turned off my radio entirely, and then when I turn it back on...ooooooooo no signal...it would get 2 bars, and then drop, and then 2 bars "E" symbol, and then drop.
So from then on, i went nuts, opened up the back, took out the battery, checked the sim, installed another sim to make sure..and by now it went even worse..first INVALID SIM...then it went to MISSING SIM...urge to kill rising!
I finally said F it, and hard resetted my phone...but i noticed something upon the screen calibration..."NOTIFICATION ERROR...cannot find calnot.exe". After hard resetting and such, the problem still showed...
This morning, after leaving it overnight, it was still misbehaving...so I went to took it back down to the floating NVID file found here on XDA developers...and oddly enough...no more calnot.exe error...the radio signal is strong, and i get a data connection...So i tried to then upgrade to the new PDAViet 4.0.0.4s ROM, but again...calnot.exe error...so finally i am stuck at the NVID ROM...oy!
So I searched here on XDA Developers and on google...now while people have said they get the calnot.exe error, they also get this reglog.dll (or something to that effect) error as well...me on the other hand am only getting that calnot.exe error, which would seem to be the root of my problem.
What can I do fix this, and get back to the speedy 4.0.0.3 ROM (man I love that ROM)
Phone info:
ipl: 2.09
spl: 2.20.0000 (so I guess that my Qtek S200 is a G3 model)
radio: 02.47.21 (i even moved up to 02.69.21)
os: 2.20.7.34
so i really appreciate the help guys...take care...

Holy S*** I have the same Problem for like two weeks!!
Man , I have exactly the same problem !!! exactly !! i had PDaviet 4.0.0.0.4 and one day I got the same thing, No signal , then after i hard reset, the Calnot error ! then Hard reset again, and this time I got the replog error !
I get "Unknown Sim Card!" or "Unknow Sim Card status enter your pin" whenever I install WM6! My phone works perfectly in Wm5 though !!
I flashed radio rom in WM6, I also tried different sim Cards , but none works !I can not get the phone to work in wm6!
By the way, NVID is not a good rom to stay with.

In a way I am glad you are having the same problem...so I know I am not a nut lol (and nor am I alone)...but of course its not good to relish in someones downfall, so of course it is also a bad thing eh..
What ROM would you suggest then? NVID seems alright, but I don't know of any others out there (well somewhat)...thanks!
I wish we knew why it happened at first place!
for wm5, if you want a clean, fast and reliable Rom, try Jesterz Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284578
you might want to re flash the start-up image to HTC logo... you can find the .cap in the same thread.. I also updated the radio rom too, you can find it in prophet wiki.
Jesterz Rom is nice cause you don't have to uninstall anything, it's really clean and stable. it is by far better than NVID, but don't ask why cause i have to ramble a lot.
Oh by the way if you found out why this happened to us .. let me know

Strange, however, can you post which radio version you have when you switch roms ? it could a radio rom problem....
Appologize for posting the thread twice... I wasn't sure if this goes to the Hermes or the Herald forum...
Hello All,
I recently got an ATT 8525 and I'm trying to use it with my T-Mobile (US) SIM. I was able to successfully unlock the SIM and CID with an util/rom I found on this site (I think the post was from Pof). And I also re-flashed the phone with the latest ROM available.
But after about 5-10mins of usage the signal dies and when I reboot it says No GSM. Looks like the Radio ROM gets corrupted. I tried just re-flashing the Radio ROM and that doesn't help either. It works for short while and again the signal dies.
And also, I'm unable to install any of the generic ROMs (Fantastic Mobiz, PVET 40005) Although I'm connected to Active Sync when I run the Step 1 (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe), I get a ERROR [222] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING. And when I run the step 2 directly (update_rom.bat) I get an cannot update itsutils.dll maybe in use error.
As you can tell I've been messing with phone a lot for a couple of days with no luck and my frustration level is kinda high
As of now here’s where I stand. I re-flashed the phone (Image: 3.62, Radio 1.50) and it’s on the “Tap the screen to set up your windows based mobile device” screen. I plan on leaving it on this screen until I can a good solution.
I would like to get rid of the ATT ROM and install one of those hybrid generic ROM that is not Carrier specific. Any help will be much appreciated. Share your ideas, I’m very experimental
Phone Details…
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 1.40.0 lipro
ok ur going all over the map here.. did u hardspl first? also pvet 40005 isnt a hermes rom.. um try hardspl first THEN flash to a new rom maybe once you successfully do that then try a new 3.62 rom.. i run austinsync buts its naked..just like i like my women. ha. but if ur looking for a full blown try fun_key's rom or blinkys.. these arent carrier dependent
hey man jakeypoo, Thanks for your reply. I kinda figured that I was all over the map.
Okay first appologize my ignorance. What is a HardSPL? I did a search on this forum and I found Hard-SPL-V7.zip. Is this a good version to use? Also when I run the exe, All options are grayed out except for "Force Using SSPL" and "Is it Hard-SPL". What do I select.
Thanks!
Hardspl v7 is the latest version out there, its the one for you to use so that you're safe from future mishaps.
I also have an 8525 on T-mobile... so no worries.
Hope this helps.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HardSPL
still problems (no gsm)
Thanks whistler4ever. That link was really a great help.
Here's what I did...
1. Installed the Hard SPL version 6
2. Installed the latest ATT ROM (ver 3.62 radio: 1.54) I had to do this because the radio on the phone was corrupt (says "no GSM" on the start screen) and couldn't install just the radio rom. kept giving connection errors.
3. Installed Schap's WM6 Pro 3.57 hoping this would get ride of the ATT ROM and my intial problem (no GSM) will go away.
Everything was fine for like 15 mins, then my phone just froze. I reboot the phone and sure enough the radio ROM was gone (no gsm). ;(
Running out of ideas.
1. Could this problem be because I'm using a TMobile SIM on a ATT's radio ROM?
2. Is the radio ROM specific to the phone type and provider(ATT, TMO..)? Is there a generic WM 6 radio rom? If yes, where can I find the latest version?
3. Any bright ideas?
Thanks again!
Current phone details...
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10
ROM 3.62
Radio: no gsm
I was able to flash just the radio ROM - version 1.51. But again after a few hours the Radio got currupted. I also tried to follow the instruction ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5 ) to use the mtty.exe utility, but I don't get a USB prompt. I get Cmd prompt and if I still enter the password, it says invalid password. please help!!!
And how do I do the USB monitor capture? I could post more details that way. I'm using my girl friend's old razr now and it's painful!
I have used my t-mobile sim on AT&T rom's and other roms with no problem. I would try going back to a factory rom and then changing back to a cooked rom just to confirm its all a clean install. also, try downgrading your radio to a 1.47 or 1.48 (those have been proved pretty reliable across many cell providers).
Thanks Whistler. I'm going to start with the 1.48 version and if that doesn't work I'll try the 1.47 version. Not giving up on this.
I found 1.47 to work very well with t-mobile even when traveling...
Thanks Galaxys. I just installed the 1.47 radio. I have fully signal and the 'E', but I can't receive or make calls.
It almost looks like my TMO SIM is not compatible with the 8525. It always works for the first few minutes after an install and then stops working.
I'm very certain the phone is in good condition.
Should I try an older radio version.. like a 1.24 or something ?
Can I install just the tmobile radio rom?
I'm also going to install TNT 2.0 pro so I have the exact same set up as you and see if that makes a difference.
no luck!!!
wow... after all this time and effort still no luck. There's got to be something very basic that I'm not doing right. Senior members any help???

Sounds like your doing everything right, because your flashed rom, radio, and Edge network are all functional. Since only the GSM calls don't work, I would go back to Tmobile and get a a new Sim card installed (they should do this for nothing & test it while at the store).
Also, if U got this device on ebay your IMEI could be blocked. see this thread:

Hi Junner2003,
I was trying to istall the UK Tmo ROM you suggested and it stops always at 11%. I've had this problem with other ROMs as well (12%) but after a few tries the installatons goes past it, but real slow. Any ideas?

Hi Galaxys,
I don't think the IMEI is blocked. Or maybe it is, how do I find out? I don't have any of the symptons listed on the link you sent (don't hear the beeps or anything).
I originally had a T-Mobile wing. The LCD screen cracked (don't know how). And ofcourse TMo won't replace it.

I got 8525 from my company. It's almost new. Only used for a day on an AT&T SIM. This phone is free, and so I really don't have much to lose... so all out experimenting
Tried insalling from the micro card, even that stops while installing GSM. pissed!!! Why would the darn Radio not update???
this may sound stupid but if all else fails, why not...
my mda use to have signal then it would just disappear as well after 15 min or less..
turns out the sim card wasnt pressed in properly.. so i just put a piece of paper on top of the sim card to make it thicker and get the battery to press it down harder. and it solved all my problems...
just a suggestion..good luck

See this post here for a possible reason (and technical explanation/theory) for your device stalling during radio update. The fix suggestions at the bottom of the page may help you - in particular :
Try cooling the device down a bit before flashing as the PIC chip (where your radio ROM is held) may flash more reliably/easier when cool. Don't ask why - that's from it's datasheet ;-)
The paper on the SIM card is a good idea too to rule out dodgy SIM connection - Great idea r0mmel
I have a 8525 that has IPL 1.04 and SPL 2.10 Olipro.
I've tried most of the methods mentioned in the wiki and I still can't get it fixed. Whenever I try to flash the Radio rom (1.54.07.00), I get stuck in the 0% and gives me an error code. According to the wiki, it means fail to connect, but ActiveSync worked?! Now what am I supposed to do to get rid of this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was never able to flas Radio 1.54.07.00. Some one recomended flashing the Official AT&T WM6 Rom to get the radio, then flash back to whatever ROM I was using. That actually worked. In my case I was having my radio dropping signal every so often. Then on sometimes on rest would sho "no GSM" other time not. Now I have "no GSM" all the time and can't flash the Officila AT&T ROM any longer (Hangs at 11%).
But I may have had a dieing radio hardware (my phone was a referb) and it might actuallly work for you. In my case my 8525 is now basically a PDA with wifi.
My final solution: I have a Kaiser (8925) scheduled to arrive today.

Your problem sounds exactly like mine. Mine got hung at 11% as well with official ATT Rom.
My solution? Well, I dumped my 8525 (cancelled account), and got myself a Samsung i760 from Verizon Wireless. I wanted to go with the 8925, but I had to pay more than $300 for upgrading the phone (plus extending contract for 2 more years). As for the i760, I didn't pay a dime. (A friend of mine that works at a authorized dealer hooked me up)

Can anyone share their experience upgrading their Bell HTC6800 ROM (including radio, unlocking SPL, and upgrading PRL) with DCD 3.0.1? I have never done it before but curious to hear if anyone has had success or failure.
I noticed that DCD released a Bell ROM in his 2.3.2 kitchen but not in his 3.0.0 kitchen. Does anyone know how to port the correct Bell settings into the 3.0.0 release?
My main reason for upgrading is of course better performance but more importantly I am curious about aGPS and how I can use it instead of my Bluetooth GPS receiver. If anyone can share that would be much appreciated.

Thanks origins81. I noticed now that DCD added the Bell ROM to his 3.0.1. So can you share you experience with this ROM upgrade? Did you have any problems (I assume you've done this before)? Can you share your experience if you are a Bell HTC 6800 user?
1. If you have not already done so, run the 2.40-olipro unlocker. Your device will again be left in tri-color screen.
2. Flash the official sprint 3.35 update.
3. When the device boots for the first time, do not pass screen calibration. Flash a 3.x.x ROM. (that being the custom rom of your choice)
Think I only used the official Bell rom for about a day before i got sick and tired of it and flashed to one of DCD's clean roms, never looked back since then...
As much as I hate Bell, I purchased this phone, had it for about 7 months and got into flashing roms, well, this newest ROM from DCD was the trickiest. First I tried using the Kitchen (disaster), I finally got it to work, installed it, and I kinda forgot to read the instructions, you have to be SURE to install the Olipro 2.40 first, and flash to the new radio, or it will do one of two things. 1st it will either continuously restart or 2nd thing is it will get stuck on the infamous red, blue, and green screen. However if you do get stuck on this, you can flash the rom again, then install the newest radio and it *should work.
But after all that pain and misery, I got a little better signal (I'm not too sure if this is caused by the new rom or not), the GPS works great as always, and seeing as Bell charges 2 arms and your first child for data, I haven't tried the speeds for Rev. A.
P.S- If you ever need help with your Bell 6800, just ask, I've been troubleshooting the same phone for a couple months, and I know how to use a kitchen, just a PM away.
Thanks guys. You have instilled more confidence in me now. I am just going to make sure I have the original stock ROM from ustar as well as the Titan re-locker just in case (I want a backout plan). I will wait a little longer until everyone irons out the kinks of this new 3.35 radio and I will give the latest DCD ROM a try. Thanks again!
I've used the SPRINT update and it works fine. I've added the quick GPS program that comes with the DCD version and I am going to change the startup logos from Sprint to Bell...(As soon as I figure out how). I didn't need to reprogram anything!!
I just got my phone today, gonna give this a shot...
oh man... i ran the olipro 2.4 file and it took me to the tri color mode and then tried to flash it with the latest sprint update. it went up to 4-5% and then it showed an error of Update Utility. i tried to go bak to the Bell update and it did the samething but this time after 1%. can someone please help me out here? I'm with bell.
ok now i'm stuck at the bell screen and at the bottom it says "No Radio" cuz i tried flashing the dcd file.
Well, to begin with, here are the steps I took to accomplish what I have.
1. Flash Olipro 2.40
2. Flash Radio to 3.35 (For the newest version of DCD's rom)
3. Flash the ROM to DCD's rom.
Now, the first time I did this, I got stuck at the tri-color screen, such a pain. I then tried flashing the rom again, and it rebooted continuously and I had no idea why. This was because I didn't flash to the newest radio. So I did that, and it worked, so try those steps, and good luck.
On problem that I did notice is that my phone always has the roaming triangle on?? Hopefully it's not costing me roaming charges... I was going to try and use the DCD 3.0.1 rom but don't want to chance it. I'm going to try playing with it some more an see what happens.
I'm running DCD 3.0.1 on my Bell 6800 and it's working great so far (day 2)
Follow Origins81's install points above, and remain calm if it takes a try or two to get past the 2.40-olipro unlocker 3-color screen step.
I'm having some issues ActiveSync'ing to both work and home PCs, but I don't think it's related to this ROM.
GPS works great with Google Maps
The alarm clock bug is fixed (e.g. not working when plugged in)
Got it working and everyhthing is great except is doesnt play video in the media player...Working on it.
Well for some reason I can't seem to activate my phone. I hit Talk then I enter ##911224#. It tries to connect for 15 secs then hangs up.
I _thought_ I did everything properly.
1) Ran Olipro2.40 (actually it was the unlock from http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/) it looks like it's got Olipro2.40 in it.
2) ran official upgrade from sprint (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe)
3) Extracted DCD_3.0.1_Bell.exe and ran the RUU.
hope I didn't perma-brick it.

Ok fixed it. Browsed around the and found out in a Howard forum that you have to type ##111111# (doh!) before. Ok my heart can start beating again! Posted for posterity. The code that I used must have been for a different area. This phone is from the GTA.
can you give me a link to those howard forum posts because i ran into a problem ... after a last flash my phone works but its not activated... I tryied ##111111# but i get a code check error... ##911224# doesnt do anything... ##778# works but 000000 code doesnt so i cant get in... HELP
Roaming After Update
After suffering with the pesky Bluetooth issues with my HTC, I thought I'd do some searching on the Internet to see if others had the same issues. Lo and behold, it looks like a real bug with the HTC. After reading some forums, it looked like the latest Sprint release would cure the problem. I downloaded an unlock program ("Hard-SPL-MFG") and the Spring update (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship)
and proceeded to update my HTC.
After a few unsuccessful attempts (stuck at the three color bars a couple of times, restarting a few times on it's own) I managed to get the unlock code and Sprint update installed.
The problem I have now is that it appears that I am now roaming even though I'm in my calling area (I'm with Bell Canada)!
Help! What should I do??
Check the bottom link out, had similar issues when I first flashed. If you have any further questions let me know
