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

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!!!!

Zetajunkie point me in the direction of the sim unlocker (free) for the 3125.

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

think it wont.. am not sure though..
No, only the latest WM6 supports 4gb
4gb micro not supported in WM5
That is correct WM6 is needed for cards above 2gb.
Not every version of WM6 though - but all recent cooked ones.
Check the relevant ROM's info before you flash to be sure.
Is black satin microSDHC compatible? When you people say above 2 GB, you mean microSDHC right?
I have, and use, a 4gb SanDisk Micro SDHC memory card in my Tytn, and I have found it works in all the WM6 carrier roms and most of the later cooked WM6 roms. They will not work in WM5 roms, I hope that answers your questions.
4gb on every WM6 ?
I have tried my JasJam on loads of wm6 (at least 6 or 7) not found 1 yet it doesn't work on.

fards said:
well if you flash from the storage card, you can save time by
1) downloading the rom direct to your athena.
This saves time by having to not go and turning on the computer, retrieve your sync cable from behind the sofa, swear at the amount of time it takes for the flash prog to work out that you already have A) an athena, b) a rom c) bootloader mode, that it is the 3rd day after you danced widdershins to the light of the new moon.
2) change the name of the rom image to ATHEIMG.nbh on the storage card, go into bootloader mode.
3) sit there worrying that it's all going well.
4) enjoy the new rom in much less time than it take boil the kettle (a few times).
I've flashed the athena once from desktop, and at least 5 times from card now, so much simpler and quicker.

Thank you apd . i will give it a try.
however, you'll still need to use a pc to stick ap4.0 on from what I've read, as you'll need to flash the new spl, if that's what you're thinking.
Unless Oli pro has got very creative....
I'd also like to point out that it's the 3rd day after a new moon (i think)

I am sure they need to figure out how to unlock the phone first. Thats still in development for our phones. Once that is done I am more than sure somone will have it unlocked shortly after. Just keep checking the threads and we will see an announcement by someone. I am even sure we will see more than one thread on it.
How about Skywing's
I don't have a TP to try this on yet. Been watching this forum in anticipation of moving up (?) from a xv6800.
Has anyone tried Skywing's hack to see if it works on a TP? In one of his posts, Skywing stated that he didn't see why his hack wouldn't work on any stock Verizon 6.1 install.
Just a thought . . .
The posted bits will not work on the xv6850 due to some timing differences with how the GPS driver initialization works. There is no value in using those bits on the xv6850.
The posted bits were stated to work with the xv6800 and not any Verizon device with WM6.1. Some people have claimed success with the xv6900, but I cannot speak to any possible success or failure with that device. They will not work on the xv6850.
I already tried to install Skywings fix and as soon as I click Use GPS in Google maps, it locks the phone beyond recovery.

I installed Skywings Vallhala cab. it opened up or unlocked the GPS so it was discoverable by OnCourse navigator 8 but wouldn't actually work or find satellites. It didn't lock up my device or do any harm whatsoever. I guess I'll stick to my bluetooth receiver for the time being....
yeah my phone froze up too when i tried using GPS in google maps after installing vallhala.cab. i think it's gonna need a little something more than just using the same hack for the xv6800. i really hope someone is in the process of development.
From what I understand its just figuring out how to unlock the unit then after that its easy to do whatever you want
Has anyone been able to do anything in QPST or does the phone need to unlocked to use QPST?

No, not quite. Hait to burst everyone's buble but its not quite that simple. The phone has been unlocked just not released to us. They have GPS up and running but only with VZNav. They are trying to work with GC for a GPS solution.
I can thoerize that this will only work with a fix from Valhalla.
It has alot to do with how the PRI's are preset. To make a long story short they have sort of proved this by flashing a new radio from sprint and it still wasnt "unlocked" Same thing wiht the titan would happen after MR1. The only thing that could revert the PRI back was a revert to a non GPS radio. Then back up to a GPS radio with a standard PRI instead of the VZ locked. From there you were good.
Well there is no pre-gps radio to revert back to for the Raph. Thats why I feel we will end up going an emulation route. The drivers are differnt than that titan which is why all of our phones crashed with his fix. Or most anyways. We need him to create a utility for us until someone figured out how to "cure" the PRi issue.
I may not have used the exact correct terminology in this post. Im more of a ROM guy than a GPS / Radio guy but this is how I understand it. Someone correct me please if I am wrong. And I deperately hope I am wrong on this one (Although I had no doubt in my mind when the phone was introduced this was to be the case. They were basically beta testing the GPS system with the Titan and Vogue. Sit back and think about).
Here is the thread I am reffering to:

I kind of remember seeing this last year I think. I would like to see a Shift II though. It was not lacking much for my needs .. as I said, I thought the phone would be a plus, but it wasn't. I think it is because I hate talking on the phone and a GIANT ONE was just that much more annoying.
I have another Shift on the way to me .. it will be here on Tuesday. I am wondering if there has been any changes to Snap Vue .. other than the original unlocking to full WinMo ..

And there is rumors about some Chinese people having SD and BT working under WM, but nothing is confirmed yet.
I get OH SO NERVOUS when it comes to doing any upgrades and it seems that when I looked it there last, there was more than one upgrade on the 'menu.' My Shift will be here tomorrow .. gives me some time lay out my coffee and valium and read about where to go next .. Is it a difficult upgrade? All in one, Full winmo & phone ?? As I said, last time I thought about upgrading there were a few and I didn't know which one to use ..

thanks much ... I remember with my first shift [this will be number 3] Modaco didn't have the easy 'liberate.' I printed out all the 'recipe' and followed step by step, using a highlighter as I completed each one. I was afraid that I would brick my computer. With the 2nd shift there was Modaco .. you would think I would be less nervous -- easier and I had already seen how fast people in this forum are to jump in and help if things go bad .. but I was even more uneasy with number 2 than number 1 .. So tomorrow when the new one gets here, I will be a wreck .. Just listen closely .. when you hear 'cluck cluck cluck' in the distance ..that will be me .. the Liberate / Upgrade Chicken
My Shift, number 3, arrived late this afternoon.. Couldn't wait to get home and get liberated !! So far so good !! Then I installed IE and Office and the phone pad .. The pad doesn't com up when I click it .. should it? Or do I need to install something else? This is where I am totally LOST. To install the phone capability, what do I need to do ?? And should I have waited to liberate until after the phone and gps are installed ?? I was looking at the links below and I am totally clueless .. Is there a dummy version of 'what to do next?'
When I click 'settings' on the desktop of winmo .. the only thing in that folder is soft reset and USB tool .. shouldn't there be other things ??
Never mind .. Fixed it ..

Once you liberated,
1. HardSPL it.
2. Update Radio only from this thread. Remember not to use ROM part. There is nothing wrong with this ROM, reason is thaihugo cooked two more ROMs and they make much more sense in my opinion. Pick up one and flash of the three ROMs from the following.
3. Choose either thaihugo's (one of the two ROMs light and heavy) or iOO's ROM. Thaihugo's light one is plain vanilla without office, and SnapVUE but comes with rest of the default software such as phonepad, IE, Network Widget, GPS Blue, task manager etc. Heavy one comes with PointUI2. Light one has more free storage and program area, where heavy one will have lesser than 10 MB of storage and program areas. iOO's ROM comes with SnapVUE interface and Phonepad, IE, Network Widget, GPS Router, soft reset, regedit etc. This has more or less 20 MB of Storage Area and 10 to 12 of Program Area.
Finally don't give up on this shift, because we are this close to SD, BT and may be WiFi.
if you need more help, just PM me and I can help you.

had only one cup of coffee... I think I will need more to even understand anything. Mostly I don't understand the "rom" thing. I need a different rom? is the rom what contains the phone & GPS.

Yes, that is correct if your new Shift is an X9500. If it is a 9501, you already have the gps capability. I had flashed the first rom and radio when it came out and the flashed the iOO rom after that. I have not tried Thaihugo's roms yet as I am now waiting on the bt/sd to be fixed.....which it seems, may be done soon (hopefully)
Later
