Wi-Fi driver to load on Cingular 2125 with i-Mate ROM? - HTC Tornado

Before I get 10 replies saying "Cingular 2125 doesn't have Wi-Fi", let me say "I know". I have a Cingular 2125, which I understand is a variant of the HTC Faraday. I updated the ROM on this device to the newest i-Mate SP5 AKU2 ROM. The ROM has support for the Wi-Fi hardware in the SP5, and the Wi-Fi settings menu shows up on phone now after updating the ROM.
What I am wondering is if the Cingular 2125 phone that I have is a special version made for Cingular that is stripped of the Wi-Fi hardware? Or is it possible that it has the Wi-Fi hardware / chipset that Cingular has someone disabled.
After loading the SP5 AKU2 ROM, The Wi-Fi Connection Status says "Driver not loaded", not "Hardware not present"--which may not mean anything, but I was curious if anyone who is more familiar with the inside of the HTC Faraday variants would know more about this.
Thanks,
Andrew

Why asking if you give the answer in your own post.
No hardware so driver will not load. Same reason, different message.

I'm asking if anyone has verified that the 2125 does not have WiFi hardware versus just thinking that it doesn't because it has been disabled.

To answer your question, it does not have the WiFi hardware on the device.

AKU 2 & a2dp on 2125
I have an HTC/cingular 2125 (Faraday) & love it But I need to
1. Unlock it
2. Flash to AKU 2.x ROM
3. And get a2dp out of the deal
Do you know of an AKU 2.x ROM that will work on my 2125?
My 2125 is still locked and I have tried one utility but it failed to unlock.
All I really want is a2dp so I can use my fantastic iPHONO bluetooth headsets (that I bought almost two months ago, for this phone).
PLEASE help.
And can you "un-flash" a ROM if it does not work IF the ROM flash bombs out & the 2125 won't boot to Windows?
NOTE: For WiFi on 2125, try looking at this post:

(it is about the mini-SD Wi-Fi 802.11b card from Spectec - SDW-822)
THANKS,

Widcomm/Toshiba or Bleusoleil

Hi,
Checked the posts but I am not sure so I'm asking for help.
I'm having rom 1.12 and radio 1.13 on my Qtek S100. Which of these BT stack should I try?
Is the size limit of the Bluesoleil one on PC side or on PPC side. I have a usb dongle and widcom on my PC so I just need a BT stack on my PPC.
Does anybody have the magician working with a dlink bleutooth access point (accidentaly have one laying around).
Thanks for the info,

Tornado as BT modem for Himalaya

Hi Tornado boys!
I have a Himalaya device with no SIM card in it, and I want it to use my Tornado as a bluetooth modem to access the Internet.
On the Tornado, I have setup gprs connection correctly. But I failed connecting from Himalaya to Tornado after I have setup a bluetooth modem connection on Himalaya.
I have just set the number to dail as *99#. Is there anything I should do?
b.t.w, my himalaya is using the latest wm5 rom from buzz net.
The error message on himalaya is: Cannot connect for unknown reason. Blah blah blah...
any ideas?

Using Palm PDA with vox

Hi,
I wonder if anyone has been able to use the vox/ htc e650 as a modem with a palm pda.
I used to use my spv c550 and old e200 with a T3 no problems at all, both with infrared and with bluetooth.
I can pair my e650 and send files to/from the devices but no amount of fiddling with the connections work to enable dial up gprs.(*99# on orange node)
I worked out how to set this up on the older spvs when I worked for orange so they could update their internal pages when people called about this but canoot get it working on vox models.
I have tried setting generic gsm phone or universal phone driver which worked on my old spv so am guessing that something has been changed in the way it uses modem drivers or windows mobile.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
it seems I found the answer after looking thru the forums.
Discovered the cab that allows DUN via bluetooth instead of the pan internet sharing which I don't thing the palm supports anyway.
One thing I noticed is that there is nothing on the phone to indicate a connection is in progress.
On previous spv phones and ipaq I has 2 arrowa to show data connection was made.
Is this usual on vox or just a quirk of the dun workaround ?

WM6 SDA and BT DUN hack

I have a T-Mobile SDA running the WM6 Perfect English ROM and I can't get the BT DUN hack to work. I installed the .cab file for the BT DUN hack and soft reset. When I pair it with my other cell phone (VZW Nokia 6315i), I don't have an option for the Dial Up Networking service. I was able to BT DUN with my old Blue Angel (VZW XV6600) and with my laptop on the 6315i.
Anybody able to get the hack to work on their SDA? If so, any suggestions on what I'm missing.
Thanks

Did you first SDA Application Unlock your phone? Make sure the devices are paired! The options or bluetooth dialup setup should be on the PDA or laptop, but see if you have a dialup option on the SDA, if not still it should work. Another thing make sure you install the bluetooth Dun.cab from my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340762 ..............!
My SDA is application unlocked. Unlocked it before I did the WM6 ROM upgrade. I had the BT dun hack .cab already installed. I uninstalled it and installed yours instead. Same thing is happening. No services are listed after pairing.
I paired the SDA with my laptop and the laptop is giving me the option for DUN as listed services. Essentially, I want my SDA to BT DUN with my 6315i. Is this even possible?
No Way!

The Two cell phones will not pair via bluetooth Dun Dial-up, but you should be able to pair each cell phone to your laptop via bluetooth Dun dial-up. The phones act as the connection modem, the bluetooth Dun dial-up connection setup options will always be on the device (laptop, PDA,ect) that you are trying to connect to the Internet. The phones do not have this option, because they will act as the modem!
That's unfortunate. My Blue Angel was able to BT DUN with my 6315i. You are saying this was only possible because the Blue Angel was a PDA phone. The BA did not originally have the DUN profile but a hack was devised from a PDA. Is there such a device like a smartphone without the phone hardware where a hack for the SDA can be devised?
Thanks for all the help and info.

Unable to connect to W/L Router

I am running L26 Kaiser Diamond V6, which is running great, except that I cannot connect to my wireless router. I have other HTC devices which are connecting ok, whereas my kaiser detects the network but will not connect.
I have upgraded the Radio to 1.65.20.29 and installed MSVC 1.6 ontop of L26 Diamond V6.
I have downgraded the radio, but this does not make any difference ...

I have a similar problem in that I can connect, but only get access to the network if the WLAN power setting is on "Best Performance". Does that setting also not work for you?
If that doesn't help, then more info could be useful. Do you get an ip address assigned if you're set on auto (dhcp)?
My problem is the same.
Coming from a Dutty Rom, loading hardSPL 3.29 and then moving to Laurentius V8 with radio 1.58.25.17 I can't connect to my home wireless lan. As with other roms this connection problem never was an item, I thought perhaps a stubborn byte could be the culprit. So I did hard reset the Kaiser and reinstalled the V8 twice.
Settings on handheld 'Best Performance'. Even removed the security keys from the wlan. No result. Strange, because many people don't have the slightest problem with it.
I have changed the setting to best performance, but it makes no difference, HTC is set to dhcp, I will try fixed IP and see if that makes any difference.
I have got a result ( not ideal ), the wireless connection now connects, but only when the radio is switched of (Phone) within comm manager. From this I would say that the problem lies with the Radio ROM / CAB part of this ROM, maybe Larentius could look into it.... I will try someother Radio version to see it we can resolve this...

Experimented with that already: No difference here.
I have also noticed that, if the Phone is switched on within in Comm Manager once the wireless connection has connected, then it remains ON. If the W/L is switched off and on again it does not connect. I will test further and report back
Sthpnz, try it like this, cause its works for me :-
Switch OFF phone
Switch ON Bluetooth
Switch ON Wireless
Switch ON Phone
ALL three, above, stay ON, until your pda goes into standby and you lose Wifi again.
I am running L26 Kaiser Diamond V8 and am able to connect to wlan easy enough, however when i connect to another wlan and then try to reconnect to my home hub at a later date it asks me to re enter my network key, tries to connect and never actually suceeds. It seems to forget the network key i constantly and tries to randomly connect through gprs??? I managed to find a way to do it by soft reseting my phone, the kaiser would then find the network on its own and connect after the network key is entered. Why it does this i don't know. I find that the radio that comes with this rom is the best i've used yet, but maybe this is its one flaw?
oh by the way the radio i'm using is 1.58.25.17
I have downgraded my Radio to 1.64.08.21, which appears to work better, if I change WiFi to best performance. However, it is now causing a problem with MS voice Command, so I will uninstall and reinstall MSVC to if I can keep this radio and MSVC working.

@isek: nope, the wlan will not connect using this recipe. Thinking about downgrading the radio. Report back later.
I'm on wlan again!
Simply by going back to Dutty's April 26 Rom with fitting radio. No problems anymore.
So what is changed:
I had Laurentius V8 with radio 1.58.25.17 and HardSPL 3.29.
Now I have Dutty's April 29th lite rom with radio 1.65.14.06 and still HardSPL 3.29
I reflashed a few roms, some worked with WiFi but then failed with MSVC. After some more searching I came across L26 Diamond V5 which has voice command and a radio which gives me WiFi & VC (both Work together). I think that the newer ROMS which have Radios that work with Wifi for me failed on MSVC because of the version of MSVC it has to be 1.6.19213 and L26 diamond V5 has this built in.
Now I have to find a MSVC 1.6.192113 CAB and try on a newer ROM..

My euphoria was not long lasting. After the first up- and downloads the kaiser could not connect anymore with the wlan. Oh yes the signal is available and strong, but it will not connect.
The only option now is to change hardspl 3.19 for an older one. I'll try that later. Now my job waits.
After alot of messing around, I now have wifi working without any issues.
My original settings for my router were a hidden network, WPA2 PSK using TKIP, I have changed TKIP to AES and my kaiser connects much more quickly and most of the time. Will this help others ? i really don't know, however, I would strongly suggest changing settings on you router as it certainly helped me.
hey guys I had a problem with l26 v9 as well turns out it don't pick up certain wifi channels being 12,13,6,5, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405737 for more info
