I been trying so many variants of CrossBOW WM6 for my G4 Wizard but sick of it, they never work out. Only successful was the WM5 Wizard love ROM, wut could be the issue?
one of many issues.. it could be.
what kind of issues are you getting? i have no problems with wm6
maybe you're not CID Unlock thats why you cant get any wm6 working on your phone..
be specific..
If your Cid Locked check my thread to unlock it then try some wm6 roms
My phone is not CID-locked because I myself installed "Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2" ROM over the Imate Supplied default ROM. Yesterday, i tried installing "Molski.Biz_AKU3.3_21911_8MB_Crossbow" and you know what happend, only it changed the bootscreen logo and all other ROM was still the same "2.26.10.2".
Wizard Love rom works on cid-locked phones, so this is not an a good rom to indicate whether your phone is cid-locked or not. Given that the same rom remains after various flashes im pretty certain your phone is cid-locked.
Agree With You Slicped
I agree totally with you slicped. I have been trying all versions of "crossbow" and the #1 is Wizard Love. The only issue is the horrible wizard love splash screen.
LMAO.....At the people who dont read tutorials and the thousands of posts with people who has had the same problems but has be able to fix them to find out how they can possibly do the same, but yet just jump to downing every rom out there because they cant seem to get them to work. WOW!

Typical behaviour of a CID-Locked phone Have you payed at imei-check for unlocking CID? No..... CID-locked! You can do two things:
- pay for unlocking
- use shelltool
All u have to do is search around......I've only been on the forum for a couple of days and I've flashed my G4 8125(which is cid-locked) twice already. I have WM6 running fine on my phone, just do a search w/ your specific prob and its almost a lock to find an appropriate thread......also thanks to all the chefs for their great work.
try this and just replace the nk.nbf file in step 3 w/ any cooked rom os u want to use. works like a charm for me...just be patient.

and where do i dl it?
Download the latest ROM straight from HTC
Download the latest and the best ROM at http://www.america.htc.com/support/docs/RUU_STAR100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_CWS_SHIP.exe
so this rom will run install on my cingular 3125 fine? it wont brick it will it? do i need to app unlock the phone?
No harm installing
This is the latest official cingular rom. It shouldn't brick your 3125 and you may not need to application unlock. Since you're getting a new 3125, this rom may be already installed in your device. Please check before you flash.
Since this is an official Cingular ROM, you won't have to app unlock to flash it. However, you should be aware that once you flash it, this ROM will leave your phone app locked (I know my 3125 was not app locked with the original ROM). So after you have flashed, if you want to install unsigned apps (freeware, etc), you can search this forum for a thread that has instructions to app unlock.
I'm very happy with this ROM on my 3125 - it has a very recent version of WM5 (AKU 3.4.2) and has been rock-solid for me. I wish they didn't put in the app lock, but it is easy enough to remove (some reg edits, etc)...
k thanks my 3125 should come in tomorrow... how good is the 3125 at playing video?
Playing XviD videos 320x240, cca 300 kbps, 25 fps in TCPMP is fine. Try it yourself Use PocketDivxEncoder for converting videos.
anyone get PocketDivxEncoder to work with vista it keeps messing up for me tried running it as administrator and it does same thing
I wouldn't recommend the latest Cingular Rom
made a mistake and updated my Cingular 3125 ROM with HTC's newest (since it was recommended..) and had nothing but hell afterwards.. in 2 days got a signal maybe 3 times and only once was I able to make a call at all.
I just added that rom to my 3125 hopefully I don't have the same problems. Im using tmobile so i'll let you know
stay away from the Cingular ROM it bogs down the system

Well, everyone's mileage is gonna vary. But just to add another data point to the mix - this ROM is working fantastic for me (3125 device on at&t network)...
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?

Thank you lewnetoons!
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!
Frank

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.
3)following th first..

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)
3) and after that flash an unofficial rom

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.
I DID RTFF (read the frackin' forums)

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.

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!
My friend has HD2 T-mobile I hacked his phone and now he has 2.08.HSPL and Omega Rom "HD2 + T-MOBILE HD2 Compatible Android Friendly!" ,He liked the Android OS so i downloaded one for him but it didn't boot up just stuck up.

It got stuck like at the begining of the booting of Android,I extracted it to root sd in a folder android..I even tried few android roms... some did the flash light thing and then all screen went white with black strips.
maybe u guys can recommend me a rom that fits the best for t-mobile thx.
did you extract to a folder on your desktop(named whatever you want) and then copy the file named android directly to your sd card?
any rom in the rom development forum will work that states it is android friendly. i actually am running the original rom from tmous and it works just fine, so i dont think that is your problem. although a i have found that a android freindly rom is faster, i just like go with origianl rom for peace of mind since it works for me.
my phone running Android pretty well...
how long you've waited? the 1st boot usually takes 20 minutes
Hmm thx guys i will try again,20 mins boot O_O omg..
on my HD2 not t-mobile.. it boots up fast no problems.
The first boot takes a while as it creates the data img. The larger the data img u choose the longer it takes although some builds come with a standard img
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Radio
Try newer radio version
Like others have said. Make sure to copy the files to the SD card correctly under an Android folder and definitely update the radio. I use 2.15 with great success with my TMOUS phone. I use the Energy Cookie ROM, 2.15 radio and Mdeejay 1.1 Clean build. With Wi-Fi and GPS off, I get between 3-7mA on standby now. It is my daily OS now.
