Thanks to this wonderful forum and the smart guys here I have successfully flashed my Cingular 8525 to the newest stock HTC ROM. No problems, no worries, no questions with that.
But along the way I was having problems downloading the ROM from (I think) Rapidshare and I somehow came across a beautiful page that had all the applicable ROMS for this phone posted in one nice easy place. Had Cingular ROMs, HTC ROMs, different versions, etc. I thought I saved the URL, but didn't. And of course now I can't find that page to save my life.
And yes I have searched, high and low, both here and at HTC. I even went through my browser cache trying to figure out where that page was. But alas, no joy.
If anyone knows what page I am talking about, please post the URL for me. Thanks in advance!

MS forced XDA to STOP hosting the ROM's. They are mostly RapidShare Now. The list is still in the Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Just another reason for me to dislike MS...
Anyway, thank you for the info.
well you guys have the newest radio and the only way for us to get are hands on it is for you to dump it off of your phone... the instructions are easy and in the wiki so please help the Xda hermes forum out and dump your radio!!!
You have radio version 1.42.00.00 we do not since we don not have anyway to download that radio since rogers or htc do not offer support/downloads for it yet...
I wish you posted a few days ago. I just got my TyTn, but already reflashed everything. I'll spread the word though, I work for Rogers and know a few people with a TyTn
Will ROGERS be posting any of the updates for the radio and also the settings for internet/mms?
I also have a ROGERS account in addition to my US T-mobile account (since I spend over 10 months in the US).
I have the Softbank version of the TyTN.
Regards

welp rogers as of yet has not posted anything and it normally takes about a month for them to set up support for it. guessing the phone came out about a week ago we have a little time to wait before they post and service rom for it... SO PLEASE ROGERS CUSTOMERS BEFORE YOU FLASH YOUR YOUR RADIO DUMP THE RADIO FIRST...
I doubt it. They usually only post updates, not current. You could talk to Rogers tech support (1-866-931-DATA)and see if they're of any help, otherwise i'm sure some Rogers people will get the Radio up soon enough. Keep an eye on HowardForums, there's a few guys in Toronto on there that may dump the ROM. Also keep an eye on https://www.shoprogers.com/web_auth/downloads.asp?product=Wireless
That's where Rogers would post downloads if they became available.

did you flash your ROM and Radio or just a OS.nb only rom??? check and see what radio is on your phone if you flashed one of the roms on this forum you probably still have radio 1.42.00.00!!!!!!!!
okay, but hold my hand....
I flashed my ROm , but not the radio, it's still 1.42.
How do I dump it painlessly?
I quickly skimmed the wiki and didn't get a quick answer...
that must be Nick. Alex here. I thought you'd be able to help!
i have 1.41
I assumed Rogers would be using some outdated crap, so I flashed everything with the newest i could find. apperently that was a mistake! lol

Once the ROM is dumped he can zip it and up load so that it can be extracted.
thats just the OS.nb correct not the Radio.nb???
nanastas just emailed me. he'll dump the radio tomorrow. he's driving atm. keep your eye on this thread for an update.
sweet I'm looking for the easy way for him to do it if he needs help have him email me at [email protected]
Anyone know how to get some of the stock verizon ringers back on to the xv6800 after flashing with a cooked rom from dcd's kitchen?
They are in your extended ROm if you have unlocked that. If not, get them from the PPCGeeks FTP.
I have "unlocked" my extended rom by making a registry change. Now I can see the extended rom and the files. I'm not really sure what to do at this point though because I can't do anything with the files, they don't do anything. I'm probably just doing something wrong.
The cab files say they install, but no new ringers appear. The autorun file doesn't do anything. I've read several other threads stating that the registry hack I made just "unhides" the extrom, and now I have to unlock it. Anyone got any ideas for what I need to do next?
Oops, didn't notice this thread earlier.. lol. You may need to OEMize the cabs if they don't install properly.
So that means I'd have to OEMize the cabs in the extended rom, then import them into dcd's kitchen? If so, does that mean I have to reflash again with another cooked rom with the OEM's that i make? Or is there a way to use the OEM's without reflashing?
Also, after looking over the cab files in the extended rom, none of them contain a _setup.xml file. OEMizer won't import the cabs from the extended rom because of this.
All I want is a few of the stock ringers from the original vanilla rom, and this is starting to become a huge headache. :-(

Let me look at them later on today and see if I can grab them for you.
Yeah, I tried just dragging and dropping the cabs into OEMizer, which worked when I ran BuildOS. Cooked my rom, flashed, and the cabs were in my /Windows directory. Didn't do anything though because they still wouldn't install correctly.
Thanks blazing!
Here you go. You should be able to put them in the Windows/Rings folder.
Edit (12/26/07): Missed some the first time and they are named correctly.
EXCELLENT! You are the man.
May I ask what you did?
I extracted them from the cab file.
Please re-download the file as I missed a couple the first time. Plus they are now named correctly.
thanks a lot for your help.
just one more question...are these the stock rings off the verizon xv6800 that come with ROM 2.09? there seems to be one particular ring i've always had, both with my xv6700, and again with my xv6800 (before flashing) that's not there...it's weird.
anyway, thanks again.
I got them from the Extended ROM that is in the 2.09 ROM.
Can you tell me which ringer you are looking for? I might be able to find it and get it for you.
I'm not sure what they're called on the xv6800 cuz I flashed it right away and can't remember. On the xv6700, they are called telephone ring 2, and telephone ring 3.

I will look tomorrow.
Here are some more. I think the 2 you want are in here.
I did a full upgrade on my phone this weekend (very easy thanks to all of the info on these forums) but just realized that some of the neat ringers that came with the phone are gone. I looked through these zips but didn't see them all. I had Halloween (Michael Myers theme music) and Flight of the Bumblebee and some other cool ones. Anyone have any thoughts on a source to find them again? Thanks.
Wow this is an old thread lol. I think my first xda post was made in this thread, back when I was wet behind the ears.
Yeah...I've been reading these forums for a couple weeks now and I was shocked to find a thread with gc14 asking for help.
I guess we all start somewhere.

Try using Google! Noobs.
Took me a minute to realize the date here!
So everything I'm seeing on enabling GPS on the Titan includes these massive ROM updates that change all sorts of things I don't really feel like changing... I'd like to just enable the GPS. Is there a simple way to do this?
I also have the PPCGeekSprintMMS installed and it seems to all be functional, except of course, it won't actually send/receive. I've found only one post between here and PPCGeeks that even hints at Telus server settings, and that poster was asking if that was the appropriate entry... no response either way. Anyone have any suggests, anyone got MMS working with Telus?

GPS is only enabled with the rom/radio update.
I have the P4000 as well !
You must upgrade the radio and use one of the custom roms for the GPS to work correctly. Make sure the phone is unlocked with the new unlocker.
DCD's custom telus rom is very nice ! no filler no killer !
in regards to the MMS... not sure about that one to be honest.

Thanks... was looking at DCD's ROM but it appears to remove a few things that I like, such as the Live stuff, and some that I need, like the Acrobat reader.
Edit: Oops, I see he's got links to re-add some of those... unfortunately they're all on that @$*^#$ RapidShare site and I've reached my download limit... unless I want to pay for the privilege. Grrrrr...
All these threads reference this unlocker and so forth - are there some step-by-step n00b instructions on the site on installing these ROMs? Are these steps performed via ActiveSync, put the files on the phone and run them, or do they need to be run from a card? Stuff like that... I'm not technically inept, but this Windows Mobile stuff is completely new to me, so I'm just trying to catch up

That's the one I'm talking about - tried those settings, they don't work. jobine's post is asking if those are the correct settings but nobody ever replies, that I could see.
**THIS IS NOT A NOOB QUESTION, IM NOT ASKING HOW TO INSTALL THIS, OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE!! SO PLEASE DON'T BLOW IT OFF LIKE IT'S A STRAIGHT NOOB ?? THAT WILL TAKE DAYS TO EXPLAIN**
Hey guys, Tweak here. Guess what. Just bought a Titan. I've been running my faithful Vogue for the past year, but with my new business opening up, I really need the WifiRouter , which I have to recommend! BUT I NEED YOU HELP!!! PLEASE!!!
I want to use the BuilOS PPCgeeks Kitchen to install a custom ROM on my new Titan (of course) , but I am so caught up in the Vogue world, that I am lost over here in Titan land.
All I need to know is where to find a good ROM , preferably Alltel ROM, but pretty much any ROM , that will upgrade my RADIO version, so I can use the BuildOS ROM's.
I guess you have to upgrade the radio in the Titan, just as you do in the Vogue to use these ROMs, correct?
Also, which build , or what ROM do you recommend me trying out first.
Thanks guys. I really hope you help a long time XDA bud out here.
I have used several of DCD's Titan ROM's and I love them. BTW, I have an Alltel PPC-6800. I just flashed mine again with DCD's newest ROM 3.2.5 and I am using radio 3.42.30, with no problems yet. Good luck and welcome to Titan world.

X2 on that
Are you dead set on using BuildOS from ppcgeeks?
I would use roms based off dcd's kitchen only. ppckitchen doesn't seem nearly as stable as dcd's roms.
I just bought my girlfriend a vogue yesterday and we were upgrading the rom and everything. Theyre basically the same in regards to upgrading
Agree with the majority
I have to agree that the DCD ROMs have treated me the best.
I have tried the ppcgeeks Kitchen and always come back.
haha thats silly. your claim to fame is creating a thread in r&d. had to point it out
but yeah, use DCD's latest, and 3.42.30 radio. you can't go wrong.
Thanks Guys!!!
Hey guys. Thanks for the info. Im gettin ready to try DCD's kitchen right now.
And hey agaus, thats not my ticket to fame. But that is how most people on this site know me is for answering things in that thread. Everyone has clicked it one time or another.
The only reason I mentioned it here is for this reason. If a noob posted a question in here , and has very little knowledge of flashing, most of the time, the thread is completley looked over. I just wanted to make it a point that I wasn't a noob, and that I just needed some guidance here in the titan world.
Also. I miss my Vogue. I loved my Vogue. But the Titan ROCKS! The only thing that actually made me keep it was the ability to use WifiRouter. I run my laptop, my iPod touch, and everything off it. I even created an app to run along side with WifiRouter, that will allow to connect to my PS3.
Get wifirouter if you do not have it.
Thanks guys.

If you were "not a NOOB" then perhaps your first two posts here in "Titan Land" would have been researched prior to posting. I'm sorry to say this, but there is plenty of information about kitchens and w/e else. And most of which is preference to the user. The DCD roms are about the best you'll find here, or anywhere else for that matter. Making more then half of your first post about how much of an un-noob you are doesn't help your case when you ask for help. Just ask it like anybody else would and I'm sure it would be answered. Even if answered before.
Try them both out....PPCGeeks kitchen and DCD......there are a lot of good chefs......try NO2Chem his tools are great and so are his ROMS......Nexvision is great and JD's ROMS which you should know if you came from the Vogue.....try em all and see what YOU like.....that is the best way....
you can always try and step outside the box of dcd and no2chem, and try out JDs rom. he just began working on the titan again about 2 weeks ago, and i think the speed of his rom alone justifies why people should atleast give it a spin.

(the latest rom on there labeled 8-4-08 has a defect with reading sd cards. but he fixed it already in his test rom and i think a solid release should be out pretty soon)
but for your radio....why not just flash the radio only via sd? its so much easier. 3.42.50 is out now, seems to be getting a good response
