I have the original phone. Did not see my carrier in the carrier cab files that DCD has put up. I pm'd him but I guess his busy to reply.
If anyone can guide me through the process, Ill be glad to make a donation for the work.
I have the original phone plus a phone that I will be flashing to DCD's roms.
Thanks.

Ntelos appears to be contracted with Sprint/Nextel.

I'd try a Sprint cab.
I think backing up the service programming with QPST and writing it to the phone after flashing may work. I used to do that to E815's when flashing them to Bell firmware. I am pretty new to a lot of this though, so don't explicitly rely on anything I say
You could at least save the programming for later retrieval using QPST. Just throwing out ideas here. Maybe dcd or GC can chime in for a real answers...

I have an SX56 from Siemens, and have downloaded the special developers edition ROM. I am wanting to upgrade my phone, but am a little nervous about not being able to use AT&T after the upgrade. Is there anything special that I need to do prior to upgrading the xDA (like writing down settings)?
Eventually I think I may want to switch to T-Mobile...
I suggest you visit the "SX56 GPRS Online Setup Guide", anyhow its always a good idea to note your settings before doing any type of upgrade.
SX56 GPRS Online Setup Guide http://support.attwireless.com/awswls/support/devices/siemens/sx56/setup_guides/ppc2002.jsp
Also its a good idea to do a hard reset before you upgrade and "not" to do
a restore from backup after your done (do a fresh / reinstall all of your programs).
HTH
I would also advise a backup of your existing rom to sd card before flashing a new rom.

Agreed! :lol:
T-Mobile
How have you found the T-Mobile service to work in Vegas? I have found MANY holes with the AT&T service that result in dropped calls...

The T-Mobile service works great in Vegas & Henderson!
Whereabouts in Henderson do you live (Green Valley, the Downtown Henderson area etc..)?
Henderson
Actually I live in Green Valley not too far from GVP and Sunset... I'm gonna go home tonight and try flashing the phone... although I realized I don't have access to a Unix machine... Guess I'll need to have one of my Unix Admin buddies compile this for me! Unless there's an image already out there?

Great!
What method are you planing on using to flash with?
Also no need for a Unix machine you download it from:
Jeff's ROM Kitchen

BTW I forgot to ask what radio stack is your SX56 running?
HTH
Phone ROM
Actually I am not sure what version it was... I was running the A.020.xx firmware upgrade... I was able to successfully install the developers ROM, unlock my phone and now have switched completely to T-Mobile..
Now I got a new version of firmware from T-Mobile's website... I attempted to upgrade my phone to that, but had some problems.. What version of firmware are you running?
Radio Stack
Actually I just looked, and my radio stack is A.20.10...

To install that T-Mobile update you'll have to run adaptROM first.
For AdaptROM do a search on the subject in this forum>

if so, would you possibly be willing to export the entire registry so i can compare it to the cingular 8525/hermes? If so PM me, there are some settings that i want to check out on the missing features...
anyone????
Heh... wish I would have seen your post this morning. I had a stock TyTN but just flashed to the Cingular ROM and got all my software put on already!

any chance of downloading SPB back up and backing up your stuff then flashing back to the stock rom, getting the reg, then flashing back to the cingular rom and running the back up to restore your stuff?
sounds like a lot of work.. but i had to ask, lol
i am still looking for this reg dump if anyone can provide it
If you can tell me how I can do it for you

install TRE, its a reg edit, but will allow you to export the entire registry to your card or memory, then just email me the file.
Need your email. PM me
here it is
thank you thank you thank you!!!! now i cant wait to get home and to inspect this thing!!!!!!!!
anytime, thank you for all your wonderful work on the wizard roms

I had the same problem with the 8525 using the stock ATT ROM and MMS. The only way i could make it work was to use a cooked rom(which you will like better anyways IMO). Make sure if you flash ur phone to use HardSPL to keep from bricking ur phone.
Here is a link to a good howto for flashing: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
Also if your going to flash it then you will need the keyboard layout fix here
We've already got HSDPA, thankyouverymuch ;-)
What ROM are you running on the 8525? Have you upgraded it to WM6 or is still running the pre-installed cingular WM5 one?
Smiffy.

umm and just forget the fact that it has 200mhz...vs. a 8525 a 400mhz...not the smartest comment lol
I have no idea. I am still trying to learn how to access all the features.
I had Nokia 9500 before that and this phone is slightly different.
WM and ROM info should appear when i am restarting the device?
I am pretty sure i had WM5,but i am not sure....
Just go into Start --> Settings --> System --> About and that will tell you what OS it is running
Oh..Thank you
It says:
ROM Version - 2.15.502.3

can someone point me to the thread, if there is one that would have a step by step explanation of whats needed, or what do do to upgrade the verizon 6800, im pretty technically competent, but this is the first time playing around with a smartphone. list of files, and what other things are needed and what exactly to do with them...
Thanks
I was just thinking the same thing, with the un-locker, and seperate radios needed, I'm just hoping I can find a contiguous thread that I can start with.
I know the feeling. I remember the first time I did a flash on my phone. It was the Apache. After a few tries you will be a pro.
I think the following thread is the best you will see. Has links to the unlocker, the radio and a rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362563
Next is the current ROM I am using. GPS works awesome with it. Its also preloaded with all the apps I need.

i read a few things about making sure you have the right, new versions of all the stuff...if i have things right, for a verizon phone, is there a quick step by step checklist of what to do in what order? was there a specific post on that thread u were pointing us too? or do i need to read through all 13 pages?
thanks for your help

Here is the link to the official thread for Easy updating your phone.
Enjoy!
thanks alot...just to clarify, code means the radio? so if im using radio 3.27, relocking isnt an issue? im going from the verizon rom it comes with, if you post again, also, is there one place that has links to all this software?

Greetings all,
As I have the VZW unit and no official release for rollback to 2.09/1.30.60 is on the utstar.com page, I was wondering about just backing up what I have in my unit now before taking the plunge, or a new unit out of box from the store ? Blazingwolf stated in a post somewhere recently that the stock ROM images floating around here are from dumped units, and this makes sense because there has not been any upgrade issued since they came out. Sprint has it available only because of the 2.17 debockle. So, it seems to me that the best way for one to be sure they can roll back to their stock config is to dump their own ROM before they start. Anyone have such utility ?????? Thanks.

It's a complete Ship ROM for the XV6800 which means you can "rollback" if things go wrong with custom ROM's.
True, found and have them,,,,but,,,,

See the point of what I would like to be able to do is to extract the ENTIRE memory map of my device so that when I am done playing I can just dump my stock, but configured with all my software and voice and all stuff I put in it, back in it. This would be cool would it not ???? Sort of 'have your cake and eat it too' because you can play then put it exactly back ;-)
