Hello everyone!
I recently upgraded my Cingular 8125 (G4 version) to WM6 Farias edition. I've also installed the radio rom version 02.61.11 but noticed that at times call do not come in and when voicemails are left i do not get a notification. Dont know if its due to the radio version i'm running so i decided to ask the rest of Cingular 8125 users to see if they have a radio rom that may be more stable.
I also noticed that GRPS disconnects when a call comes in and it re-connects when the call its released. I've heard of certain radio roms that actually stay connected while the phone its been used... anyone knows which one will that be?
Thanks in advance!

The T-Mobile 2.19 radio is the one that most use to alleviate missed calls/voicemails. The newer ones have benefits to signal aquisition and signal strength over this and stock radios, but what good does that do you if the calls and voicemails dont come through
There are some on Cingular in the US that have radios above 2.19 working with no issues but they seem to be few and far between.
I have also not had any issues at all with the 2.61 radio with Faria's rom in my signature. How well it works with other roms I don't know as I haven't flashed my wizard since I flashed that combination on it. My wife uses it now and has had no call issues.
Thanks Zzan!
I downloaded the tmobile 02.19.11 radio and tried to flash my phone with it but got the following error message:
ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for yoru PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
I've gotten several replies from other Cingular 8125 users who like you have told me it'll fix my sms/voicemail problem.
I just tried installing Cingular_2.25.11_Radinly.zip and i got the same error message:
ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for yoru PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
I'm loving WM6 but the fact that some calls dont come in and I have to continously keep checking my voicemails to see if new vm came in pretty much sucks.... I'm considering going back to the stock rom since i cant get neither radio version to work on my phone...

Have you tried running it from more than one computer? I have seen where this works for some people. Also try a soft reset of the phone and a reboot of the pc before attempting. If that doesn't work you can try booting straight to the bootloader then kicking off the install once you see USB in the corner. In any case you should be fine on WM6 if you can get the 2.19 radio to flash.
I just tried another PC here at work. I installed MS Activesinc 4.5 and tried flashing it with 2.19.11 but same error message.
I'll continue to try and post any progress (if any) LOL
I"m going to try reseting the phone and restarting the pc now.
Thanks for helping me out giving other suggestions.

Done deal!!!
Finally got it to Flash using the Tmobile UK 02.19.11 version.
I replaced the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe with the one included in the WM6 Faria Step 4 folder.
Ran the update utility and it flashed the phone without a problem.
Time to test it but i've gotten several replies stating that it should be a lot more stable than the one i had.
Thanks again and hope the info above could help other users having the same problem.
brother.... So i have the same issue with my 8125 ..G4 with wm6...missed call and no notification for voicemail...
tried radio 2.69 farias ..still no use...
Have u been able to resolve it? please help me...Let me install the Tmobile UK 2.19 radio now....
please advice.....
I have a 8525 that has IPL 1.04 and SPL 2.10 Olipro.
I've tried most of the methods mentioned in the wiki and I still can't get it fixed. Whenever I try to flash the Radio rom (1.54.07.00), I get stuck in the 0% and gives me an error code. According to the wiki, it means fail to connect, but ActiveSync worked?! Now what am I supposed to do to get rid of this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was never able to flas Radio 1.54.07.00. Some one recomended flashing the Official AT&T WM6 Rom to get the radio, then flash back to whatever ROM I was using. That actually worked. In my case I was having my radio dropping signal every so often. Then on sometimes on rest would sho "no GSM" other time not. Now I have "no GSM" all the time and can't flash the Officila AT&T ROM any longer (Hangs at 11%).
But I may have had a dieing radio hardware (my phone was a referb) and it might actuallly work for you. In my case my 8525 is now basically a PDA with wifi.
My final solution: I have a Kaiser (8925) scheduled to arrive today.

Your problem sounds exactly like mine. Mine got hung at 11% as well with official ATT Rom.
My solution? Well, I dumped my 8525 (cancelled account), and got myself a Samsung i760 from Verizon Wireless. I wanted to go with the 8925, but I had to pay more than $300 for upgrading the phone (plus extending contract for 2 more years). As for the i760, I didn't pay a dime. (A friend of mine that works at a authorized dealer hooked me up)

Can anyone share their experience upgrading their Bell HTC6800 ROM (including radio, unlocking SPL, and upgrading PRL) with DCD 3.0.1? I have never done it before but curious to hear if anyone has had success or failure.
I noticed that DCD released a Bell ROM in his 2.3.2 kitchen but not in his 3.0.0 kitchen. Does anyone know how to port the correct Bell settings into the 3.0.0 release?
My main reason for upgrading is of course better performance but more importantly I am curious about aGPS and how I can use it instead of my Bluetooth GPS receiver. If anyone can share that would be much appreciated.

Thanks origins81. I noticed now that DCD added the Bell ROM to his 3.0.1. So can you share you experience with this ROM upgrade? Did you have any problems (I assume you've done this before)? Can you share your experience if you are a Bell HTC 6800 user?
1. If you have not already done so, run the 2.40-olipro unlocker. Your device will again be left in tri-color screen.
2. Flash the official sprint 3.35 update.
3. When the device boots for the first time, do not pass screen calibration. Flash a 3.x.x ROM. (that being the custom rom of your choice)
Think I only used the official Bell rom for about a day before i got sick and tired of it and flashed to one of DCD's clean roms, never looked back since then...
As much as I hate Bell, I purchased this phone, had it for about 7 months and got into flashing roms, well, this newest ROM from DCD was the trickiest. First I tried using the Kitchen (disaster), I finally got it to work, installed it, and I kinda forgot to read the instructions, you have to be SURE to install the Olipro 2.40 first, and flash to the new radio, or it will do one of two things. 1st it will either continuously restart or 2nd thing is it will get stuck on the infamous red, blue, and green screen. However if you do get stuck on this, you can flash the rom again, then install the newest radio and it *should work.
But after all that pain and misery, I got a little better signal (I'm not too sure if this is caused by the new rom or not), the GPS works great as always, and seeing as Bell charges 2 arms and your first child for data, I haven't tried the speeds for Rev. A.
P.S- If you ever need help with your Bell 6800, just ask, I've been troubleshooting the same phone for a couple months, and I know how to use a kitchen, just a PM away.
Thanks guys. You have instilled more confidence in me now. I am just going to make sure I have the original stock ROM from ustar as well as the Titan re-locker just in case (I want a backout plan). I will wait a little longer until everyone irons out the kinks of this new 3.35 radio and I will give the latest DCD ROM a try. Thanks again!
I've used the SPRINT update and it works fine. I've added the quick GPS program that comes with the DCD version and I am going to change the startup logos from Sprint to Bell...(As soon as I figure out how). I didn't need to reprogram anything!!
I just got my phone today, gonna give this a shot...
oh man... i ran the olipro 2.4 file and it took me to the tri color mode and then tried to flash it with the latest sprint update. it went up to 4-5% and then it showed an error of Update Utility. i tried to go bak to the Bell update and it did the samething but this time after 1%. can someone please help me out here? I'm with bell.
ok now i'm stuck at the bell screen and at the bottom it says "No Radio" cuz i tried flashing the dcd file.
Well, to begin with, here are the steps I took to accomplish what I have.
1. Flash Olipro 2.40
2. Flash Radio to 3.35 (For the newest version of DCD's rom)
3. Flash the ROM to DCD's rom.
Now, the first time I did this, I got stuck at the tri-color screen, such a pain. I then tried flashing the rom again, and it rebooted continuously and I had no idea why. This was because I didn't flash to the newest radio. So I did that, and it worked, so try those steps, and good luck.
On problem that I did notice is that my phone always has the roaming triangle on?? Hopefully it's not costing me roaming charges... I was going to try and use the DCD 3.0.1 rom but don't want to chance it. I'm going to try playing with it some more an see what happens.
I'm running DCD 3.0.1 on my Bell 6800 and it's working great so far (day 2)
Follow Origins81's install points above, and remain calm if it takes a try or two to get past the 2.40-olipro unlocker 3-color screen step.
I'm having some issues ActiveSync'ing to both work and home PCs, but I don't think it's related to this ROM.
GPS works great with Google Maps
The alarm clock bug is fixed (e.g. not working when plugged in)
Got it working and everyhthing is great except is doesnt play video in the media player...Working on it.
Well for some reason I can't seem to activate my phone. I hit Talk then I enter ##911224#. It tries to connect for 15 secs then hangs up.
I _thought_ I did everything properly.
1) Ran Olipro2.40 (actually it was the unlock from http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/) it looks like it's got Olipro2.40 in it.
2) ran official upgrade from sprint (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe)
3) Extracted DCD_3.0.1_Bell.exe and ran the RUU.
hope I didn't perma-brick it.

Ok fixed it. Browsed around the and found out in a Howard forum that you have to type ##111111# (doh!) before. Ok my heart can start beating again! Posted for posterity. The code that I used must have been for a different area. This phone is from the GTA.
can you give me a link to those howard forum posts because i ran into a problem ... after a last flash my phone works but its not activated... I tryied ##111111# but i get a code check error... ##911224# doesnt do anything... ##778# works but 000000 code doesnt so i cant get in... HELP
Roaming After Update
After suffering with the pesky Bluetooth issues with my HTC, I thought I'd do some searching on the Internet to see if others had the same issues. Lo and behold, it looks like a real bug with the HTC. After reading some forums, it looked like the latest Sprint release would cure the problem. I downloaded an unlock program ("Hard-SPL-MFG") and the Spring update (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship)
and proceeded to update my HTC.
After a few unsuccessful attempts (stuck at the three color bars a couple of times, restarting a few times on it's own) I managed to get the unlock code and Sprint update installed.
The problem I have now is that it appears that I am now roaming even though I'm in my calling area (I'm with Bell Canada)!
Help! What should I do??
Check the bottom link out, had similar issues when I first flashed. If you have any further questions let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363693&highlight=FOR+BELL
i follow the step, but when the phone restart, i stuck a the bell screen...
i'm unable to connect with the usb.
Can you able to help me ? to complete the installation or trying to go back OEM
- i do the first step; see the red, green, blue screen (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9093)
- flash the rom
- now stuck......
thx for your precious help

Hi TwistedWaffle, Are you from the montreal region? I am looking for somebody who would do this stuff for me... Can you help?
anyone else having this issue? My data is stuck in a 1x connection and i know i just need to update the security HDR key settings but EPST wont load on my phone. typing the command or going to the software manually just results in a quick flash of the app and then it quits. anyone know whats up?
who is your carrier?
using the alltel cab
also just upgraded to the newest radio, 3.39.10. didnt know if that could have anything to do with the EPST or not. i have not tried any other apps yet
nah its just registry keys and a file, epst.pst
i will check the alltel cab and fix it when i get home (tomorrow)
i had the same problem.. i reflashed the 3.1.1 rom and it was fine, with and without the vzw cab.

Hey Mills... did you reactivate the phone? You might need to with the radio upgrade... I'm not sure cause I'm still running the Alltel stock upgrade.
If you are in an Alltel native area, dial *228 and select option 3 to reactivate the phone. It will reboot and you should be set.
228 will do a lot of things but it wont change the Akey or the HDR settings. I wish everything was as easy as 228
after flashing 3.0.4, the epst worked fine.. i know its not just the carrier cabs that is the problem, i think it might me a file missing in the rom for 3.1.2 because in 3.1.1 it worked fine! but my dumb ass deleted it so its no where to be found (the 3.1.1 version i mean). But i think dcd said he is going to fix something on it. its a reg setting + a file missing or something.. holla.
DCD, new cab rolling out yet? I havnt seen any updates on the kitchen thread....
Greetings everyone,
I have an Alltel PPC6800 which I've updated with dcd's 3.2.2 kitchen rom. I first installed the 2.40 olie boot loader, followed by updating the 3.37.20 Radio, updated the ROM, ran the carrier cab, and activated it successfully.
Whenever I try to connect to the internet through PIE, it first tells me my username and password is wrong. I looked this up and many suggest using the [email protected] with the password alltel. Unfortunately, it still claims there's issues connecting.
Reading the wiki . . . it seems there might be a problem on their end? Or is there still something to check/fix on my end?
Thanks in advance
Have you tried doing *228 option 2?

alltel user here..yeah i don't have to re-activate the phone, but that sounds like the issue if you ran the carrier cab "on the device". I think a long time ago i had to *228 it, but nothing since. like the previous post said...try that...that might get it.

Sorry. I meant option 3 activate new phone, but yes I have alltel also and had to do that after upgrading the radio. Option 3 will reprovision your phone.
