Which ROM is stable, faster and best?
WWE AKU3.3 Test ROM 2.05.255.1 radio 1.34.00.10_108
or
Cingular Rom 2.06.502.3
Yout Opinion, which to install?
I guess it is subjective.
For me, best means finding the right balance of stability and speed.
I tried both cingular and TEST roms and I have stuck with the test ROM. Reason: I dont see any difference in performance gain with the cingular ROM after installing my apps and today plugins. In addition, I havent had any issues as mentioned in regards to the cingular ROM. Thirdly, the TEST rom isnt bloated with operator-ware, so the TEST rom is compact and neat.
No crashes so far on TEST rom, the device is more responsive, I have no complaints, well maybe 1 complaint - no WPA2 yet (same as cingular ROM).
I have installed the 2.05 TEST ROM on a JasJam + Radio 1.27. I left the imate Extended ROM (which incidentally will not auto install when hard reset) for the time being and I will edit it later.
Phone froze when rebooting after installing MS VC 1.6 once, but having rebooted again I do not have any issue, I was unable to reproduce the issue.
It has been three days now and I am satisfied with the improved speed and functionality!!
Simple.
I'm using the cingular 2.06 and its running perfectly fine on my device. No issues, just the usual reg hacks and a couple tweaks to your needs and you'll be good to go. I haven't tried the 2.05 test rom because i'm on cingular and i kinda want the operator-ware that jasjamming mentioned. Although i have editted the ExtRom and gotten rid of 5 cabs which are useless to me (good email, express email, telenav, mobitv, and bbconnect.)
and where do i dl it?
Download the latest ROM straight from HTC
Download the latest and the best ROM at http://www.america.htc.com/support/docs/RUU_STAR100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_CWS_SHIP.exe
so this rom will run install on my cingular 3125 fine? it wont brick it will it? do i need to app unlock the phone?
No harm installing
This is the latest official cingular rom. It shouldn't brick your 3125 and you may not need to application unlock. Since you're getting a new 3125, this rom may be already installed in your device. Please check before you flash.
Since this is an official Cingular ROM, you won't have to app unlock to flash it. However, you should be aware that once you flash it, this ROM will leave your phone app locked (I know my 3125 was not app locked with the original ROM). So after you have flashed, if you want to install unsigned apps (freeware, etc), you can search this forum for a thread that has instructions to app unlock.
I'm very happy with this ROM on my 3125 - it has a very recent version of WM5 (AKU 3.4.2) and has been rock-solid for me. I wish they didn't put in the app lock, but it is easy enough to remove (some reg edits, etc)...
k thanks my 3125 should come in tomorrow... how good is the 3125 at playing video?
Playing XviD videos 320x240, cca 300 kbps, 25 fps in TCPMP is fine. Try it yourself Use PocketDivxEncoder for converting videos.
anyone get PocketDivxEncoder to work with vista it keeps messing up for me tried running it as administrator and it does same thing
I wouldn't recommend the latest Cingular Rom
made a mistake and updated my Cingular 3125 ROM with HTC's newest (since it was recommended..) and had nothing but hell afterwards.. in 2 days got a signal maybe 3 times and only once was I able to make a call at all.
I just added that rom to my 3125 hopefully I don't have the same problems. Im using tmobile so i'll let you know
stay away from the Cingular ROM it bogs down the system

Well, everyone's mileage is gonna vary. But just to add another data point to the mix - this ROM is working fantastic for me (3125 device on at&t network)...
Hi all,
So I installed the Official Sprint ROM issued this month and I have the following problems:
- Battery won't last more than one day
- Phone won't wake up from standby at certain times
- Phone slow after running some applications, including built-in apps like Word, Excel, or IE. Sometimes this result in the phone just simply hanging
In either situation above, except battery issues, a soft-reset is required.
I have tried the following:
- Do a hard reset, try without ANY applications
- Remove HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and SDDAEMON.exe
Anyone have the above three problems? with the new Sprint Official ROM?
I feel like going back to the old Sprint ROM. I have a separate BT GPS, so I don't care about A-GPS functionality as long as my phone is stable.
Why don't you cook a clean rom with the 3.0.1 kitchen and get rid of the sprint rom?
One question - did you let the customizations run after you installed the ROM?
If not, you need to hard reset let the customizations run, hard reset again and then you can bypass the sprint customization.
Otherwise......
......now that you have the new radio installed, I'd recommend trying one of the clean ROM's from either No2Chem (over at PPCGeeks) or DCD's 3.0.1 ROM.
DCD's has a "Touch" look to the skins and has over 24MB of RAM free on first boot.
All you'd need to do is run the 2.40 Olipro SPL unlocker and then flash DCD's 3.0.1 ROM.
Much more stable than the OEM.

I did on the 1st try, but something gone wrong, most troublesome is that the "Text Message" account now shown in Pocket Outlook. So I hard reset again and let the customizations run.

So you're saying that it's better to use Sprint's official Radio but use DCD's ROM?
What I gather from this forum and PPCGeeks is that people either use Sprint's Official Radio and ROM or just forego that and use kitchen's ROM completely, but not a combination of both as mentioned above.
[EDITED]
OK, so I got Olipro and DCD 3.01 Kitchen. Just so I am doing the right thing since I have ALREADY installed Sprint Official Rom with Radio v. 3.35.05, please let me know if this step is correct:
1) Connect to ActiveSync. Sync as usual
2) Run Olipro v. 2.40. This will open a Command Prompt. Let it do it's thing.
3) Once done, load DC 3.01 Kitchen ROM. No other Radio ROM needed.
4). Done.
Am I correct?
There is no radio with the kitchen. The sprint official radio release (3.35.04) is the official radio whether you use the sprint official update rom or a custom rom of your choosing. No other radio works with the newer roms except this radio. That is why if you choose to use a custom rom, you STILL have to flash the sprint update to get the radio, then you flash your custom rom on top of it (with no radio) to get your own rom on there.

I've cleaned that ROM (gutted to the base OS and functions) and have experienced none of those issues and none of those complaints are voiced in the thread using that kitchen.
I do not think that your problems are due to that specific base of Sprint ROM. Possibly some of the apps or simply a bad flash? Did you attempt to remove HTC Guardian or other components from within the active OS or did you extract and build your own ROM from the Sprint?
For severe battery problems there a couple of threads where a few people have experience excessive drains, but that's with the more recent DCD builds.

I already have Radio 3.35.04 when I installed Sprint Official ROM upgrade. That's why I want to confirm that I need to run Opilo 2.40 unlocker and then upgrade to DCD ROM on top of the current Sprint Official ROM.

You are correct, you can flash any custom ROM on top of Sprint's. DCD's is a good choice.

That is correct.
DCD's ROM doesn't include the Radio, and the new radio version is what unlocks the GPS and EVDO REV A features. The SPL unlocker is what allows you to load ROM's that aren't OEM on your device, and If you aren't familiar with how to build your own ROM using DCD's kitchen (it's pretty easy once you get started), then he has carrier specific ROM's already linked on his most recent release page. The links are just above the images.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376150
Yeah just unlock with olipro 2.4, then you have a choice between dcd (which I personally use) or another clean rom like no2chem's.
same issue as stated in first post
Hey just want to say great site guys! There is no other website that can comes close to the knowledge available here. But in response to the who started this thread the official sprint rom is crap! Once phone goes into standby or "LOCK" 99% of the time "Soft Reset" is required. Ive "Soft Reset" my mogul no B.S. 100 times since I've flashed there ROM. Radio is a great improvement but honestly, they need to hire or pay NOCHEM or DCD for their talents because w/out their ROMS the MOGUL would've ended up on the side of the highway. I agree with the last post. Use the official radio, but don't run yourself through the wringer with the SPRINT ROM. You will rip your hair out!
meek420, again, I've had zero issues of lock-ups using a cleaned out version of the Sprint ROM.
I do not think such problems are endemic to that ROM.
All,
Any WM6.1 Std. on Cingular 3125 users here? Can someone give me their take on how well this upgrade works and how overall happy or unhappy they are with the upgrade? I am very interested in doing the upgrade, but don't want to lose features or find that usability is not reliable, or that the upgrade works but 6.1 Std is less "responsive" than WM5. I know there is a certain amount of risk, and I am pretty tech-savvy, so I am not too worried about that, but want to hear from others that are using this, whether they are really satisfied or not. Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
Frank

You wont loose features (other then the bloatware that is built in by AT&T - if you miss that, you might not want to upgrade). As for responsiveness - it is quite snappy - probably even faster then the wm5 rom you're running now (likely largely due to the removal of the bloatware)
rom
download the rom that you currently have, that way if you don't like the wm6.1 (but I can't see why you would not) you can reinstall the original.

Awesome! I freakin' hate the bloatware I have now - and I did not know how to delete it until recently. This sounds great though. THANKS!
Can I ask you another question - I noticed in your signature you are using 6.1 PRO on your 3125. I read some other posts here about PRO being really made for touchscreen devices (the 3125 is not) and STD for non-touch devices. Is that true? Is my current WM5 "STD"? I think I'd be happier with the simpler interface & closer to what I've been using (as opposed to a virtual cursor, etc.). Am I correct that this is the main difference between PRO and STD?

Thank you lewnetoons!
When you say "download the rom that you currently have" - can I download my current rom on my phone, complete with all my settings and everything? Kind of like a full backup? Or do you mean backup another copy of it from Cingular (AT&T)? If so, is there a post here that explains how? This would be awesome!

backup
Backup your current device with a backup program, I use sprite, but any that backs up all of your information is fine.
Then download the official rom for your device. If you decide you do not like your upgrade, you can install the official rom and restore it from your backup.
Both the WM6.1 Standard and Pro will work on your phone, however the Pro version was designed for a touch screen device, Erofich did an amazing job at making this unofficial rom/platform work on the 3125.
Try them both and see which you like, there is plenty of information on this forum to teach you how to use and install programs.

you are right , the pro is for touch screen with the windows logo on the top right of the screen , the std is for non touch screen. you do notice there is a pro version it is made special for this phone. you can try it out and see if you like it. i have been using clean version of 6.1 std since it came out. there is another version called NEO . you can try that too.

Noobie questions (sorry!) Please help!
All,
I downloaded the original Cingular/ATT Rom, just in case, and bought Sprite and backed up my settings. I downloaded SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe and ran it (from my PC, is this correct?). SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe seemed to run okay, and gave me the message "SDA Successfully unlocked, Please Reboot SDA Now!". I rebooted my phone and did not notice a change (I assume I should?) I ran the Rom update for WM6.1 Standard, which opened up a DOS-looking box that stayed there forever and did not indicate it was doing anything. After just over an hour I disconnected my phone and rebooted it, no change.
My questions:
1) Do I run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe from my PC or from the WM phone itself?
2) Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?
3) What does CID Unlock do, and do I need it?
Just to review, I have a Cingular 3125 with WM5, and I want to go to WM6.1 Standard.
Please help! Thanks!

first，you have to unlock you CID flash it to SuperCID, so you can flash it to any rom you want.
1)SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe can only run from your PC, or you may try it in your phone..
2)following the Tutorials and can never go wrong.
3)following th first..

Thanks for your reply mike_buaa!
Actually, to set the record straight, especially for anyone else looking to do this with a Cingular 3125 (ONLY), here are the facts, as I ran into them:
1) No, you don't have to unlock the CID (SuperCID). I didn't, on a stock Cingular/AT&T 3125 and it worked fine.
2) SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe was not needed either, in fact it caused problems for me (see #3). Erofich's WM6.1 STANDARD ROM install has it's own version of this app built in and it did all the work.
3) "following the tutorials..." - sorry, and no offense, but that's BS. This site, as well as most if not all Linux sites I've seen suffer from the same "too many cooks" problem. There are sooo many people posting stuff, most with at best a half-knowledge of the required technology, that the noob is hit with a lot of crap to weed through and try. Keep in mind, this is very common with non-moderated Linux sites, and I don't mean any disresepect, but it is reality.
Example to explain #2 and #3: I read in this forum and in the Wiki's here that I needed SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe. It ran fine and dropped a couple of files on my cell. Trying to install the ROM (Erofich's fantastic WM6.1 STD) would crash every time, because it has a version of this same app built-in. I ended up removing SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe's files from my PC and my cell, resetting my cell, and running just Erofich's ROM install and voila! it all worked like a charm. My point: I had to find this out "trial and error", after MANY tries, as a noob, and it was NOT like the forums or Wiki or tutorials said it was. Lesson learned: the tutorials are not gospel.
Thanks,
Frank

Its very important to make it if you have an old bootloader version - 2.04 and older.
And btw, there are my recommendations for never flashed StarTrek devices:
1) make a SuperCID!
2) flash the latest official Cingular 3125 rom (v4.1.502.5) to your StarTrek (even if you have i-mate Smartflip, Qtek 8500, Dopod S300/710(+), Orange SPV F600 or HTC S411)

I wholeheartedly agree with Erofich. I don't know how you possibly got it to work without following Erofich's instructions to the letter - maybe the things you did had a residual effect and finally everything aligned for you.
I am glad things worked out for you but don't disparage the excellent tutorials in this forum - if you read and follow them EXACTLY, it WILL work!
Also, this site is moderated and it does get the job done if you READ READ READ.
I have the Cingular 3125 and had it loaded with the latest official rom. Like Geekzilla I was unable to go through the supercid step. It kept getting stuck & giving me errors. I just ran the upgrade to 6.1 standard and it worked great. I didn't see any reason to backup anything either because I syncronize with an exchange server so all of my contacts and calender entries just reloaded into the new version. It worked great and I recommend it.
I'll also say that it wouldn't hurt to try the pro version for a couple of weeks. It will take some getting used to but it's really fast and it has lots of additional capabilities for power users. My phone locks up when I try to use virtual pointer but I have been able to do everything just using the buttons. To be honest I can't decide which I like better as I keep alternating roms. I only had one problem when going from the pro version to the standard. The fix was to go back and reload the official rom and then reload standard.
I DID RTFF (read the frackin' forums)

With all due respect, I spent a few weeks reading the forums and wikis here before messing with my phone. I did not want to brick it. And just so you know, I am an IT Manager with 16+ years of computer, server, networking and infrastructure experience. I've used cooked ROMs (firmware) for Linksys and Netgear routers. While I may have been a relative noob on hacking my phone, I was not that much of a noob that I cannot follow directions and get it done.
If I said that it worked without SuperCID, then it worked without SuperCID. If you read the reply post after yours, even someone else (Ramfan) explains that this worked for him also. I am pretty sure I even read a previous post from Erofich where he states that the Cingular 3125 ROM works without it.
Anyway, bottom line, I did not mean to get all "pissy" and mean. This is a great site, and you folks have some great stuff here, especially Erofich's ROMs and the others that I am sure also rule. However, truth is, in an open forum like this, there is some great info, and some inaccurate info. It is the nature of the beast, and I was not trying to slam this site, just state a fact. If this offended you, then I apologize.

I initially tried to do the SuperCID and application unlock but I couldn't get either to work with my phone. Maybe it has to do with the initial firmware on the phone. I actually got my 3125 at the AT&T store the day that they first arrived in Richmond, VA. Maybe the later phones needed the application unlock.
I've loaded and reloaded 6 different ROM's on my phone with no trouble. I realized that I was taking a risk but it didn't really matter to me as I have a newer Pantech Duo, 3G phone with WM 6.1. However now that I'm able to use these cooked ROM's on my 3125 it's actually become my everyday phone again.
In comparison between my DUO and 3125 I don't really see much difference in data speeds (3G vs Edge) but I prefer the clamshell design of the 3125.
By the way I'm running Pampooh's 6.1 standard version right now. It's definitely the most suitable rom for this phone that I've found. However I'll be interested in trying any future 6.1 pro roms or 6.5 roms.
Need help with upgrade
Hello, I followed the instructions to upgrade my 3125 to the 6.1 ROM. However, when I run the SPL on the phone I get a quick message "searching for SD card", then the phone goes to red, green & blue stripes with text:
IPL 4.01.0001
SPL 2.04.0000
and nothing happens. Rebooting the phone gets me going again. Then I tried to run the ROMUpdateUtility on the PC and it caused the same thing to happen. The frustrating thing is that I got this working about 6 months ago but had to reset my device. Now I can't seem to get it back to 6.1.
HELP!
Sorry, but my frequent frustration with Windows Mobile eventually got to be too much. I've shelved my WM phone and bought an iPhone. Seriously, I believe it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Good luck!
hi, i bought today on internet this t-mobile branded HD2....1st thing to do was to install an official but English fw (the branded one is in German)...spl 3.0 and last fw sometimes hangs on htc boot screen and vibrates 7 times ... switched back to stock (branded), works great .... any hint ? thanks !
How you switched to WWE version? HSPL or gold card method?
Which WWE version? 3.14 or an older one?
Why do you want to switch to a non branded WM version? Because of YouTube player?
Why not switching to a custom ROM?
HSPL and yes, it's 3.14 - i am not so into custom roms .... stock is fine for me ... and i think it's a hardware problem, has nothing to do with stock/custom anyways :-(
You can try to do a Task29 before flashing again.
If you enter boot screen, is there HX or SS next to PB81100? This means Hynix or Samsung memory chipset.
i have no idea what Task29 is i have to google it ...
at the boot screen i have:
PB81100 SS-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP LED 0x05
MicroP Touch 0x50
i am downloading the Artemis Rom (in your signature)....a quick tip to do the Task29 ?
Dankö !
nevermind i did the tak29 thing, and m ready to install the custom rom....ill get bck with details, thanks again
Task29 is something like format for hard disk drives.
Samsung chipsets are known to cause problems because of bad blocks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11070430#post11070430
For doing a Task29 and flashing Artemis you can use LeoAdvancedRUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917807
Be sure to run LeoAdvancedRUU as Administrator.
EDIT: For using LeoAdvancedRUU (Task28, Task29 or Task32) you have to install HSPL3.03 again by using HSPL4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433

Before you install Artemis ROM you have to install T-Mobile ROM 3.14, because after Task29 you have a clean HD2 without anything and Artemis does not include RADIO or other needed system files.
Could be SPL version to WWE ROM are not matched.
Hopefully a Task29 & fresh install will do the trick.
Artemis ROMs are popular & also NRG ROMs are very good on the HD2.
More standard variant Custom ROM (NRG has several) can be used if that's what you prefer, from my experience the custom ROMs are far better than any standard build & we use custom 6.5.3 on all HD2s issued to staff as far more stable & better UI results in IT staff & user having better time ...
i will try, i am on hspl 3.03 - did the task29 step and now installing the stock rom (wwe)...i will than install Artemis...but i am almost sure that it's a hardware issue :-((
edit: nope, is not working / first boot after reflash hang at the HTC Boot screen and vibrates 7 times in a row :-(
Can you please correct me if i am wrong:
1. HSPL 3.03
2. Task29
3. WWW Stock Rom RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
4. Artemis Artemis_v660_0409_WWE
This a TMOUS version ? red & green end/pickup keys & 1GB ROM ...
You now on artmesis after procedure above !
If so I would try an NRG ROM & 2.08HSPL & see what result you get.
Use hardSPL4.0 to install HSPL2.08 & once complete install NRG ROM of your choice without task 29 ... not a big fan of task29, tends to get over used.
See what result you get !?

Nope, is a regular HD2 (tmobile germany branded)
1. i install the stock rom using LeoAdvancedRUU
2. install it again over SD (to get back to stock SPL)
3. install HSPL2.08
4. NRG Rom
on it right away ! thanks, i'll get back with let's hope good news !
Hope so but vibrations at boot do sound hardware fault, probably mainboard.
maybe lucky on 2.08HSPL ! certainly worth trying before getting tools out ...
well, it did boot but after couple of minutes of moving around the menus, it hangs ....so hardware, damn..i guess i have to send it to HTC ... thanks anyways for your help
pls, don't close yet this thread, might be someone around with the same issue and might help ... thanks !
Could be CPU BGA issue, try fridge test: put in in sealed clear bag & put in fridge for 1hr then take it out & use it a bit, maybe run a video or something & see if it last much longer before failing (can also put back in fridge with video running & check it every 5>10minutes to see how it doing)
If runs for longer or without freezing then you probably got CPU BGA failure when board reaches certain temps.
If makes no difference & problem persists the same then maybe bad memory, either way new board I expect ... :-/
it seems that it runs better with th NRG rom ... so i am pretty sure it hangs when overheated...i will try to freeze the freak thanks
INCREDIBLE: the only ROM that runs without any problem is the one that came with...the default ROM ...
RUU_Leo_TMO_DE_1.72.111.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship
Id double check you are correctly setting spl/hspl,,, a 3.14 rom on, for example, 1.66.hspl (the hspl that the hspl2.exe would offer you by default if you run it with 1.72 rom installed,) or indeed anything other than 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl, will run badly. You then flash back to stock, spl matches again, phone runs fine.
not saying it isn't something else, but it's worth checking.
3.03.HSPL with RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship - works great so far ....
