hey all! i'm currently waiting for my 3125 to make it to my doorstep (it shall be my backup until i get my 8125 apart and determine which lcd screen i need to buy to fix it -- don't let truck tailgates come down on your lcd screen, you'll get angry...)
so, what roms are doing what for people?
so far, i've been able to dig up scattered around the net (which is funny, considering the m$ note on the ftp about no devices on the market have wm5 offered, so its proprietary now, take down and destroy....):
ruu_star100_1.02.251.1_qtekeur_ship_r2.exe (think its the buggy one, missed calls and all that)
ruu_star100_2.4.502.0_02.45.30_cws_ship.exe (htc support's current (illegal?) offering for the cingular/at&t customers)
ruu_star100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_qtekeur_ship.exe...
I'm sort of in the same situation as I have a 3125 on the way to replace my 8125...
I'm going to use the "RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship" ROM as it seems to be the latest available and I was able to pull it off the FTP last week.
I'd still be interested to know what everybody else is running though
i'm also using the "RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship" ROM and don't have any problem, stability, not too slow...
yeah im using the Qtek8500 ROm RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship
On my Cingular 3215.
This is the only clam shell WM5 device in the world yet it gets no love. No one doing new ROMS or anything. I have the HTC Wizard and I swear they come out with new ROM every week, sometimes more expecially with the whole WM6 ROms.
hmmm. i've been scanning through both xda and spv forums to figure out the best way to go about cooking up a rom. christ, xda is a mess to look through, but so far i think maimach's tools may do the trick. at least the thread seems to give hope :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294489
as to how to pull the nk.nbf or nb out of the rom.exe, i'm retarded (extract it with winrar someone said... ), this thread could work too...- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
i've been looking into this for a few days, and my head is starting to hurt (should go medicate...)
anyone else have any suggestions as to how to go about?

Well, the app unlock went fine and the 'RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0...' ROM went on without any probs (didn't bother to SIM unlock as I'm a Cingy customer anyway)
Would love to get my hands on a copy of ClearVue though as this ROM doesn't seem to have it and the Cingular one did.
Anybody??
BTW, love this phone!
I've answered my own question.... plenty of apps here, including ClearVue and some other cool stuff:

I can't seem to find this ROM on the ftp server anymore
ftp://xda:[email protected]_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship.exe.
Can someone please uplaod this again, I want to put it on my new 3125 sexy phone )

Don't forget to application unlock your phone first
Thanks a bunch donshula, I am downloading it right now.
So, what are the differences between the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 and the 2.4.502.0_02.45.30 one? And why are so many people using the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 one instead?
I've got the 2.4.502.0_02.45.30 as from Cingular and can't say I've had problems...
Would installing the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 one cause issues because it has some different hardware?

No probs, I have the Cingular base ROM as well if you ever need to go back to it.
thelostsoul - I wouldn't be able to tell you the differences between the ROM's but generally, the newer the ROM, the more bug fixes and better stability is my guess. I do it anyway because I love to fiddle !
A downside of the non-carrier ROM's is that they don't always have the same software; 3.6 doesn't have XpressMail and the ClearVue suite for example.
Oh and no issues putting the 3.6 ROM on a Cingy 3125. They share the same base hardware components from what I understand. A few of us have done it without issue (if you follow the instructions properly) and the 3125's actually have more ROM than the Qtek 8500 so no worries on space.
how come I am getting invalid vender error when I am trying to install that firmware? I ran surreal networks app utility and rebooted.
Doesn't sound like you went through the full application unlock process. I followed the guide in this post to the letter (#2) and it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292936
One thing I found was that when doing the regedits in step 1, your initial registry entries might not be the same as his - doesn't matter, just make sure you change them to the values damird lists.
Also for step 3, the file you want to download is the one at this link:
http://nah6.com/~itsme/download/itsutils.zip
- get one of the later ones and you have to start adding arguements to the pdocread command.
Hope this helps
thanks! it worked and now I am running the Qtek Rom which seems less buggy and a little more responsive. Have not experienced the missed call problem either. Now all I need is some good software to fine tune this puppy! maybe some good ring tones!!!!

Point 3125 unlocker
Zetajunkie point me in the direction of the sim unlocker (free) for the 3125.
PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Trini
@ trini
the sim unlocker i was thinking of errors out (the spv-tornado one). if you don't want to call cingular to get it unlocked (free?) or pay the 20-40 bucks US that various companies charge, all i can suggest is to keep a look out on spv-developers.com. some helpful **** there (that's the site that we can thank for our cid-unlock). i don't know how responsive they are in questions, considering i haven't been able to post there ever (i registered, but i never got my permissions to post topics enabled for some reason)....
a good place to start looking there though is

yes none of the roms up there have the changes... the one i will release in a few days does.
Are you suggesting I will have to install a whole new ROM?
Or just an update? Don't forget, I have a G4 model if that matters at all.

I am using the WM6 MB version and when I woke up this morning my G4 MDA had updated on its own. I even got a window like I get with the PC saying the time had been updated.
I didn't use the .cab in this thread. Can I assume I am good to go?
Dave
That is a GOOD assumption!
Mine did the same thing, and I hadn't installed the cab either.
Seems to me that WM6 has the new DST rules built in
I don't think you need the cab.
I did the following experiment.
Go to the clock and choose 2 timezones like Los Angeles and Berlin.
Change the date to March 10th: you will have 9 hours difference.
Between March 11th and 24h: 8 hours difference.
From March 25th: 9 hours difference again!
My conclusion is that WM6 knows about the new dates... may be not all of them, but at least US vs. Europe.

eluth.
Wow! Brill!!!
Still a problem with WM6 + ActiveSync
Beyond what I described in my previous post, I still have a problem with ActiveSync + WM6 and the DST stuff.
I'm in California (GMT-8) and we are already in Summer Time.
I have the patch installed in Windows.
When I sync the PDA with the PC, the clock of the PDA is changed back 1h, like the PC "thinks" the PDA's time zone is GMT-8 (when the PC's time zone is GMT-8+1DST).
In other words, when it's 6pm, ActiveSync puts the PDA to 5pm!
Then all the appointments are also back-dated by 1 hour...
I tried this without any patch as well as with the microsoft Update for 2007 Daylight Saving Time.cab in this thread (which by the way is only adding key below): SAME RESULT. It does not work :-(.

Hi all:
I've done extensive searches regarding this issue and have yet to find the same issue I'm having. I've recently began having issues with my hardware keyboard on my FUZE adding extra spaces when typing. I would hit the space bar at normal speed and extra spaces would be added as I'm typing. I wonder if this is a hardware or software issue and if anyone has had similar issues and what they've done to resolve it. My FUZE is about 6-months old and I use the HW keyboard quite a bit for texting/e-mails so I need the HW keyboard functional. I'm still under warranty but would rather not have to deal with AT&T customer service. Thanks everyone!!!

You know, it's funny. I had a much longer response typed initially, but XDA was giving me trouble, so after typing it 3 times, I went with a more brief response.
Apparently (as discussed in the Kitchen thread), there's an issue with the input driver of the 21812 build ROM. I'm not sure if that's the build NRG was using on 6/13, but it's very possible. So, Da_G has included the CompIME.dll from a working build (in this case, 21731) in the kitchen to correct the error, which was isolated in that thread by pyrorob. So, I cabbed up the driver for my personal use with the newer ROM build (21815) in case this was still an issue. Since I just had it hanging out on my SD card, I figured I'd share it.
So, to answer your question, the cab just replaces your existing CompIME.dll with the one from the 21731 build. Hopefully this will correct your problem.

Edit* I checked the version and NRG is using Build 21812.5.0.50 so that may have been the issue in my case.
Edit** I'm still seeing the same problem. I'm going to try a reflash of the stock FUZE and go from there when I get more time this evening. When flashing to a different/Stock ROM, do all the device drivers get update or just what the Chefs feel are necessary?

For custom ROMs, it is possible that the chef may change some of the drivers in the OEM/SYS folder. Try a different custom ROM (even a different build number) to confirm that the problem is specific the NGR 21812.5.0.50 build.
For stock ROMs, the content will be what was released by the Manufacturer (HTC/AT&T). If the problem occurs with a stock ROM, I would be inclined to suspect faulty hardware.

hi there, i got the same problem as well, and i think it's worse than yours, mine sometimes even appear the full stop symbol after i typed the spacebar button from my HW keyboard, and i am also using EnergyRom as well... try flashing other Roms and see whether the problem exist or not, because i think i din find a problem in other roms... but i am still sticking with EnergyRom as i think i got some idea not letting it shows that often now...
i have the opposite problem my spacebar is now not putting spaces when it should. i have to make sure i focus on the button press, just started happening this month and ive had it since november
I had the problem several times, I restored back to AT&T ROM and Radio, and did an XBM on it.
Its a hardware problem. The Space and delete key can get hard to press, and when they do press, it does it multiple times.

I have a Touch Pro which I bought in October and the space bar on my keyboard started playing up too. It would miss spaces when i was typing away and sometimes would insert extra spaces. It was driving me mad. I took it back and had the keyboard replaced under warranty and it has been perfect since.

I still have the same issue even with the original shipped ROM. I'm going to say this is a hardware issue and prep my device for warranty return/repair. This would be my first time using a warranty return/repair. How long does it take through AT&T and will I be out of a phone for a while?

First thing's first - make sure you return the phone to stock specs (including stock SPL) prior to returning.
The way the warranty exchange works is, you keep your phone, they send you a new (refurb) unit while you still have your existing phone, and when you get the new one, you put the SIM card in it, and use the packaging to send the old one back. That way, you're not out of a phone at all. I got mine the next day. Its a good system.

Thank you for the quick response. I'm working on returning the phone to stock and will be talking with AT&T soon. Would it be best if I went in to the store or just call? I was hoping this phone would last until the Touch Pro 2 was released for AT&T. Thanks again!

I have reflashed HardSPL and the same NRG WM6.5 6/13 ROM. I can verify that it is not a ROM/Driver issue since my device is working fine. This is a hardware failure and needs a replacement device. Thank you for everyone's input and helping me to find some sort of resolution to this isue.
I have a Cingular 3125 I just bought to tide me by, since my 8525 took a dump, and would like to upgrade to WM6.1. I ran the application unlock program and went through the supercid process, but is there a way to check if the process/application was successful? I didn't receive any alert saying such. BTW: I'm using a PC with Vista Home Premium.
What is the most stable WM6.1 ROM available for this phone? I know there have been bluetooth issues with some, which I can't have, since I use my phone a lot while driving (work related).
Also, I'm really not put off too much by the WM5 OS, but I'd really like to have the threaded SMS back. Is there a stand alone application that would allow me to add this to WM5 (if I end up keeping it)?
Add threaded SMS to WM5

I'm surprised there hasn't been any reply to your post in the months since . . .
Yes, there is a little program you can run to verify application unlock - I can't remember the name of it or find it ATM.
Yes, there is a threaded texting program, called Extreme Text - works very well. http://www.birdsoft.biz/extremetext.htm
Thanks for the response, but I'm pretty sick of this phone already. I haven't upgraded the OS to 6.1, but I can't see it being much better than it is. Wish my 8525 didn't chew through batteries like it does!

Well, I think the StarTrek is a good second phone, 6.1 does make a big difference IMHO so maybe just give it a try. . . I'm very happy with Erofich's 6.1
Well, I guess I could give it a try.
I've flashed my 8525 several times and that was very easy. Sounds like this 3125 is a bit of a pain to flash. Would you mind clarifying the steps and recommending a 6.1 ROM?
StarTrek ROM flashing, StarTrek toughness

I followed the steps in the first and third stickies: Application Unlock first, then CID Unlock. Particularly I followed the clear advice in post #12 of that thread:

Here's an amusing aside, RE: the build quality of this phone. I had loaned mine to my daughter's boyfriend, he set it on a table and lay down to take a nap. He heard it vibrating and ringing as a call came in, looked up and saw it vibrate itself right off the table and fall toward the floor. But at the exact spot it fell, there happened to be a glass full of water stationed - the phone fell kerplunk! right into the glass of water. He grabbed it out, pulled out the battery and SIM card, dried it the best he could, let it sit a couple hours, then reassembled. It works perfectly!
I have Erofich's 6.1 installed on that phone, this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374397
But I think I'm going to give DJ's 6.5.3 a try soon.
Good luck!
Well, I've got to say "you were right." I flashed my phone with WM6.1 and it made a world of difference. I'd be interested in checking out the WM6.5, but I haven't been able to find a version that'll run on this phone. You mentioned something about DJ's version; where might I find that?
BTW: Thanks for your input on this thread.

Glad I could help. I've been away for awhile, it's good to be back.
Yeah, that 6.5 looks like not yet ready for prime time.
