AT&T 8525 supports now PTT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New ROM release ( today ) supports PTT
ROM version 2.06.502.3
Radio version 1.33.31.00
Anyone know anything about this?
YOU WANT PROOF...HERE'S YOUR STINKING PROOF...http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103517
JUST KIDDING
Do you have a link to the source of your post?
I am curious.
htc.com support download is showing the same ROM as the old one.

YEAH I CHECKED THERE AND THE CINGULAR SUPPORT WEBSITE....AUSTON BOY IS USUALLY PRETTY GOOD ON HIS WORD. MAYBE WE MUST WAIT TILL TUESDAY?
I asked for sources in the thread, or at least a screen shot of the device.
I'll leave this up to the experts - I am just a lurker after all.
PS, this site rocks!
DIDN'T sleuth or someone extract the PTT application (not the hack to change the functionality) from a future ROM? Or was that a device he got it from. Either way it atleast let us know the rom is out there.

Shogunmark leaked the PTT app. It was an HTC add on. This looks to be a new rom with the PTT included.
Sounds exciting! 2.06 is AKU3.3 I think?
what time (well range) on Monday is it over in the US at the moment?
If cingular releases the update tuesday I would like to be awake tonight
6pm west coast, 9pm east coast
edit: Cingular website post has often lagged behind official release. The 8125 update was delayed then even got pulled once because the ruu was defective. I'd almost expect the rom to get uploaded here soon though...

Thanks Sleuth,
I am eager to wait, so I guess I will have to catch up on some prison break episodes while waiting for 9am Tuesday...
One question, as cingular doesnt have video call, is it possible to enable it in a cingular rom?
yep. Just load up the TyTN extrom. Then get rid of the green stuff.... I'm not sure which particular cab loads the video call version but IIRC it's easy to figure out if you just want to load the part that matters. This worked just fine on the original Cingular rom so it should work with aku 3.3 but ymmv
However, your hardware video call button will be dead. No big deal since it never did anything more than the green button right next to it anyway... What's important is that the phone app will have the "Video" soft button.

Thanks for that,
So if the useless hardware video button is dead, is there a method to assign it to another function, e.g. TOMTOM? I havent performed a detailed search as I havent had the need to do it (yet).
I was unsuccessful at trapping that button when I tried. Not a big deal but it did irk me a bit when I was running the Cingular ROM tho...
yeh, i think it will annoy me too, i am a bit of an aspie when it comes to gizmos.

so that is not the release one? and where did you get that from?
i can say that it hasnt hit today yet... i have been using internet owl to monitor the code on the support page, and if/when it ever gets changed i will get an email to let me know... i have it check once an hour.
not trying plug the program, but it really is a neat little app for tracking web pages for changes from your pc.
This is the section of code i am monitoring from that page:
Code:
<li class="linkListMore">Download</li>
and whenever internet owl see's that code has changed it emails me
I think its funny that the HTC 8525 support pages says 3125 in the title...but thats just me..
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

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
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

sorry for getting your hopes up... i've been spending too much time staring at the screen lately, going crazy in small steps
Hi everyone,
I'm a long time viewer, first time poster. I plan on buying the Cingular 3125 this weekend (the refurbished model for $29.99), however I'd like to consult the experts (that would be anyone other than myself) prior to my purchase.
I feel like it's a good fit for me, but my knowledge of PPC's and smartphones is limited. Is there any reason I shouldn't buy this phone? I was originally planning on the 8525 when it was down at $99.99 for a couple days, however that's no longer an option. That, and I think I'd prefer a flip phone and a dedicated keypad.
There were a couple things I didn't truly find in any reviews.
First off, how rugged is the phone?
Is the ringer loud enough/is vibration sufficient? My current phone is barely audible in slightly loud places, and I sometimes hear it vibrate before I feel it.
Upon opening for a phone call, does it pick up right away? I can't stand phones that lag through this process.
If there is a phone out there that is (unlikely) $100 or so that would suit me better , please let me know.
The only things I truly look for in a phone are call quality, customization (ringtones, themes, etc...), decent battery life, Wi-fi is a huge plus, but not mandatory. I don't use any extraneous services.
Any input or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
for 29.99 i would take my chances. I just bought a brand new one for 199 off ebay and it had problems. so i sent it back and they promptly replaced it with a new one. worse part is now i have to pay again to simunlock it but oh well atleast the phone functions right. it does have a weak speaker for the ring it is not very loud and it answers right away for me.
Thanks for the input.
Oh and one more thing. Is there a fast one/two button way to activate a silent and/or vibrate mode?

yep... more or less. clicking on the operator id opens the comm manager, #5 enables/disables the ringer (puts it into "meeting mode")...
mostly thats unnecessary. if you have an appointment, set your profile to "automatic" and set the appointment (in your calendar) so that your status is busy.
automatic sets you to "meeting" mode every time your calendar status is "busy"
beyond that... 29.99? you crazy? is that a contract? better have a backup phone then. contracts are never good... if you brick your phone on a 3 yr contract because you were modding it (or whatever)... you still have a 3 yr contract. with or without the phone.
look into it. weigh your options. don't go headlong into something that will financially rape you.

I still have my phone right now. I could easily keep it as a back up. I've never heard bad reports of refurb phones from Cingular/AT&T. It's $29.99 due to the 2 year extension contract on top of it being a refurbished model. That's how I've gotten my phones in the past.
edit:
I forgot to mention that I most likely wouldn't be hacking/modding it, unless there is something that really makes a big difference.
well then. it's a good phone. i have the 3100. i intended on buying the 3125, but somehow missed that it wasn't the 3125 in the auction (i bought mine on ebay)..
my real challenges were to rid myself of the cingular store (something which you might want to keep), re-do settings for MMS (as i'm not on cingular's network), and beyond that, my only beef is the BT Restrictions on the phone...
the only allowed incoming BT connection is for wireless modem.
i'd like to fix it... but meh. if you don't do much with BT, then you're okay. A2DP headsets seem to work though... but some registry mods are needed to do full stereo, and high quality A2DP... nothing serious, just some value modding.
if you're okay with the contract, go for it. nearly no mods are needed for this phone to kick some serious butt. i've honestly never had a phone that gave me as much detailed information about stuff as this one... it seems to satisfy my need for unnecessary information. haha.
I say DONT buy... FLip phones suck.
Thanks for the advice. I'll probably purchase it tomorrow if not sooner. I don't use any bluetooth at the moment, and can't see myself using it in the next 2 years.
edit:
Is that the only reason Madcap? In that case, I'll stick with the phone.
could also check out a sda which adds wifi and infared in a candy bar package. I own that phone too and really they all the same just different form factors.

Too bad the SDA isn't made for Cingular/AT&T. It looks similar to the 2125, however that doesn't have wifi either.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Alright, I have one more question.
I read somewhere that the newest Cingular ROM doesn't allow you to install 3rd party apps. I also read that there's a way to unlock it. Could someone lead me in the right direction?
Thanks!
yes, there is a way to make application unlock via registry editing and SDA Application Unlock utility

Would I just have to follow the first two steps according to this post?
So from what I understand, installing the latest 3125 ROM disallows any use of 3rd party software apps without doing this?

Alright, thanks for the tips. I understand what Application Unlock does, and I understand SIM unlock, but what exactly does CID Unlock do? Is that what allows custom ROM's to be installed?
CID unlock is allows you to flash with any vendor's rom (any of qtek 8500, cingular 3125, dopod s300 and i-mate Smartflip roms)
ha! Yes offspring, thats the only reason.. lol

Thanks for all of the help. It's greatly appreciated. I doubt I'll need anything other than Application Unlock, but at least I know for future reference.
Hopefully I'll get around to purchasing tonight.
No further questions at this point in time. Thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts/opinions/ideas.
1. Application unlock your phone using regeditstg and do the following :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1001 = 2 -->Change the value data from 2 to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1005 = 16 --> Change the value data from 16 to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128 --> Change the value data from 128 to 144
Reboot the phone
2. Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock tool. Reboot the phone after it finishes.

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)

Try to avoid double posting - you posted this same message about 6 times as far as I can see.
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)?

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)?

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.
