Hi,
I've successfully installed WM6 on my Cingular 8125. I installed the Crossbow version. Great stuff.
What wonder me is, some of my network stuff is still there in the menu (GetGood, ClearView PDF reader, etc) even though the apps are not there anymore. Try to dig the forum but can't find the way to remove them...
Any tip on removing those? My phone is Cingular but I'm on T-Mobile network now.
Thanks,
um.. which rom did u install there is about 10 wm6 roms now..

You don't have to be so explicit
I agree! My psychic advisor Miss Cleo got busted so's I have no way of knowing your device info ie IPL/SPL, GSM, OS ... catch my drift?
Everytime I've seen this happen it's been that the device isn't CID unlocked... everytime.
ah... pardon NOOB!
OS 5.2.318 (Build 15341.4.0.01)

Any recommendation? More info needed?
anyone?????
No way to get rid of Cingular bloatware??
OK, First I would redo everything (unlocking, etc) as per DrPuttingham above. If you really successfully flashed a custom rom, its unlikely the extended rom would have the Cingular stuff still there. If you are stubborn, and just want to get rid of the Cingular stuff, do a hard reset, and when you get the message saying 3 seconds to customize, do a soft reset before it starts (put the stylus in the reset hole). Then the extended rom will not load.
Good luck,
Re: Extended rom
OK, I want to amend what I said above. I checked my extended rom today and found that indeed the X-plore rom flash had *not* wiped the previous (T-Mobile 3.3 German) extended rom. So, I apologize. It appears to be at least more common than I thought. I have now gone back and done a hard-reset and soft-reset to remove the customizations from the T-Mobile 3.3 rom (which I actually hadn't noticed).
Thanks for teaching me about this. I'll be more careful in my own flashing from now on!
Regards,

Two questions:
1. How do I tell what generation my Prophet is? I see a lot of references to G3 and G4 but no information on how to work this out.
2. I currently have the latest i-mate JAMin rom, which is AKU2.0. Is there is a stable AKU2.3 ROM people have been using or is this still "experimental" It's hard to work this out from the threads.
Thanks all.

1: during bootup, 2nd screen find
SPL
2.xx.0001 = g4
2.xx.0000 = g3
2: aku 2.3 seems very stable. Everything works as expected. i've only installed one version, after reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ht=16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe
it's the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe from this sites' ftp. It has been much more stable and responsive (due to the larger cache) then the preinstalled AKU2.0 on my qtek s200. Boot time is shortened by about 20s.
Before you install this you HAVE to unlock the CID:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Upgrades
i didn't do this first time, and had to find a valid qtek rom that would install, since my device didn't bootup anymore..
Thanks for that. A question about unlocking the CID:
On the Prophet upgrade page you link to, it has the warning (3 times, in bold!): *WARNING!!!!! DO NOT PERFORM THIS IF YOUR PROPHET HAS THIS ROM "SPL 2.xx.0001" (New G4 Version)
Don't all G4's have that ROM? Mine does (2.13.0001). So where does that leave us for unlocking?
Thanks again.
Im also running a JAMin with the latest official rom and ive seen some good things about the 2.3 updates but im new to the whole cooked roms thing but ill figure it out.
What would I loose by upgrading from my JAMin rom and what would I gain?
Can I go back to my jamin rom if I dont like it?
I have installed the latest DOPOD ROM and I run it native without any soft installed and I reboot only about 1 a month!
To partially answer my own question: The CID unlock process looks like it IS for G3s only. To upgrade G4s you use pdocwrite.exe.
I've seen the details for using pdocwrite to install the pdamobiz ROM, but has anyone used it to install the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe?
Cheers

I'm guessing you'd loose some of the vendor customisations - which really are only some useless themes and the network provider settings - which for me just means setting up GPRS. Of course, you also risk loosing your JAMin entirely if you stuff it up
What you gain is a more up-to-date OS which is faster...
what about the extended rom? all the custom stuff is in there, i can access it no probs but would that remain with the rom mentioned above?
would I still be able to run them (if I back them up)
just been researching this rom, looks like it defaults overclocks your device and installs a ton and I mean a ton of apps that most people dont want.
Be warned, its heavily customized and may not be to everyones liking.
Anyone know if I do upgrade to this and unlock my CID if I can then re-apply the official JAMin rom?

To anyone reading this, here is my experience as of last night.
On my G4 I tried installing 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe after first hard-resetting my device. The installer went ahead fine, but it would not start-up: it would not get past the boot loader screen. So I reinstalled the latest i-mate ROM, booted up, then proceeded to try: ftp://xda:[email protected]/2006-10-05_Upgrade ROM_AKU2.3_lvsw.rar.
This uses the PDAmobiz method to upgrade a G4 which is essentially running a batch file while it unlocks and writes to the ExtRom and the ROM - then doing a hard reset, but it is not the PDAmobiz ROM.
This worked fine, and I now have AKU2.3. Even better, it is not customised, so there's no extra software installed, which I'm happy about. It's been running over night and seems very stable so far. I'm not sure what the paging size is on the ROM, maybe it's smaller = more stability.
So that's my experience!
My experience:
My JAMin running IPL/SPL 2.13.0001 using that rar file that worked for you...
hung on the copy of the OS to the device.
Trying now to recover it by downloading and trying to install latest JAMin update.
I cant get activesync / network connection using USB to phone... Don't know if that will be a problem trying to recover. Its sitting at the 3 colour screen atm.
Is there a way for me to update to IPL/SPL 2.15.0001 from 2.13.0001 before trying again? (assuming my phone is not already dead).

If your phone is G4, you should be able to install the vendor ROM no problem - which is magical really. You don't need ActiveSync running; well - it won't connect as the device is dead .
When you say it hung copying the file... it took a good 15-20 minutes to copy across for me, so I hope you weren't just being impatient.
yeah the JAMin rom worked so I'm back where I began.
I did wait 30 mins and it had crashed.... activesync wasnt doing anything, buttons / screen taps weren't working on pda.
Is it because I am running 2.13.0001 is my worry? The update specifies its for 2.15.0001. Is there any way I can update to 2.15.0001 from 2.13.0001 before trying again?
Cheers.
Tried the update again, and this time it worked.
Device is running AKU2.3 now, but still says 2.13.0001 for ipl and spl on boot.
Any ideas anyone on how I can update that to 2.15.0001? and what kind of change that makes anyway?
Thanks all.

you have been researching a different rom. this one does certainly NOT overclock the device by default. And it's a clean install, without any overhead, but WITH the stereo bluetooth headset support. perfect for my uses.
looks like i was looking at another rom, one loaded with junk.
I took the plunge and updated my jamin to the 16mb 4pda rom and im now back on the official jamin, it was way too unstable. Today I rebooted 5 times.
The volume is too low on headset and loud speaker
and some other annoyances.
I need stability
when i'm using AKU2.3,
in Settings / Regional Settings:
there is no "Turkey" option (also Russian).
how can i do that, is there a patch for apply these regions ?
thats why i'm using latest official jamin rom now (wwe) (from clubimate.com)
Ive found the source of instability with the 4PDA rom. Its the radio rom 02.30.21
I went back to my old ROM on my jamin and all was fine, a day without crash, Then loaded on radio rom 02.30.21, hardreset for good measure and setup again,. same as always.
Then, every hour or so im resetting.
Back to official jamin rom and all is fine again.
Radio ROM 02.30.21 is just totally unstable. Ideally I would like the AKU2.3 updated rom but without this awful radio rom they seem to be putting in them all.
Hi,
I've created another BETA ROM for the Prophet
This ROM will upgrade your SPL to 2.20.000 (Only G3 !)
This ROM will upgrade your Radio to 02.47.21
This ROM contains the stripped PDAMobiz Final AKU 2.3 OS
This ROM contains the stripped Qtek ExtRom (2.20.7.114)
This ROM has a changed CID (now 11111111) (This needs testing on G4)
This ROM has a standard page pool of 12MB
I've taken the base Qtek 2.20 OS and incorporated the AKU 2.3 files from the PDAMobiz OS, however, I've removed all the extra "junk" so this is a pretty clean ROM.
The ExtRom base came from the Qtek 2.20 ROM, however, it has the qtek links/images removed.
For the dutch users, i've patched this ROM so it doesn't change "wel" into "we'll" when you create an SMS
My ExtRom:
A2DP_Patch.cab
AutoRun.exe
Cert_SPCS.CAB
Config.txt
MP_Customization_Prophet_Qtek_WWE_051205.CAB
MP_CVSDcpl_20060220.cab
MP_mHub_WWE_060124-2.CAB
MP_MMSAutoDisconnect_060106.CAB
MP_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB
MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Java5xx-CyberonVoice-CV-04Nov05.CAB
P_ECall_112_911_QTEK_Wizard.cab
P_PT_EnableSPN_Wizard_20060109.CAB
PP_DisconnectButton_16.CAB
PP_ExtVersion.CAB
PP_OperatorName.CAB
PP_Prophet-UAProf_AKU2.sa.CAB
Signed_A2DP_Cert.cab
What was changed over beta 2 you ask ?
well, I've ripped more crap out of the ROM and changed the stylus gif mentioned by lvsw.
Also, I've changed the G4 version, it does NOT include any SPL, hopefully this will make the ROM upgrade work (test this !)
Just download, run the file and after the upgrade is done, hard reset your Prophet (hold down both the camera and comm manager buttons on the side while pressing the reset button, hold the two buttons untill the screen comes up, then press the left green phone button)
As this is a BETA, please report any errors here, thanks
For G3 ONLY:
Removed, working on new version
For G4 ONLY:
Removed, working on new version

jester, would you say this version is better than RUU-Prophet-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-b1.exe?
Stuck at bootup screen
I updated to this ROM, now my device is stucked at splash screen. The one that says..IPL 2.09, SPL 2.20.0000 , GSM 02.47.21
What do I do now? I tried hard resetting it but it gets stuck on the same screen. The upgrade went OK (100% with congrats..) How can I reverse to or update to another ROM if it can't establish a sync?
Thanks.
Tried it and didnt like it, still too much of PDAmobiz custom stuff around. Like doesnt delete cabs after install, has the gPS icon in settings, doesnt automatically bring up the keyboard when input is needed and some other nasty bits.
why cant they just give us an updated clean rom instead of trying to make things better.
Back to jesters awesome 2.2 rom.
download file?
Where is the link to download this file?
hey hey.
I tried the Simunlocker by jotach
Everything works fine. I get the code to enter, but the field for the 8 digit PIN isn´t there because I only can make Emergency calls...
I thougt it could be ROM problem and I´ve testet all HTC ROM till 1.57. and Installed the radio 1.0
No success.
I read about more people with this problem and without success. Is there another way to unlock? Or is this Phone to new?
Any comment is welcome!
Look on the vert first post under sticky. Unlock your Kaiser is o simple. I test my unlock Tilt with T-Mobile SIM I pop off my iphone. Wow, it works!!!!
Now, I can switch my Tilt with my iphone when ever I need it!!

Are you using a 6.1 ROM or 6.0 ROM? I had the same problem with a 6.1 ROM. I was forced to downgrade to a 6.0 ROM, Load the simunlocker, then load up the 6.1 ROM again. Hope this helps, Let me know how it goes.
Hi.
I appear to be having problems and my phone now thinks there is no sim inserted!!
#5. After you unpacked the download you see directories "step1" and "step2". Go into directory "step1" and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe.
This will flash the special patched radio rom. Follow the instructions until it is finished.
Everything was fine up to here!
Note that you can also skip step 6. and proceed with step 7.
#6. Power off your Kaiser and insert a 'strange' SIM, i.e. a SIM from another provider than the one your phone is locked to.
After changing sim as per #6, it now says “Insert SIM card”. – not proceeded to stage #7 yet.
#7. Once Windows Mobile has booted up it will (usually after you have entered the usual 4-digit PIN) show a window called "Simlock" and a textbox where you can enter a 8-digit unlockcode. Now perform a soft reset by pressing the reset button *but* at the same time keep the camera button pressed. If you did it well you will be back in bootloader mode and you see the tri-color screen. The best technique is to press and hold the camera button first and then shortly press the reset button with the stylus.
Anyone got any ideas, as my phone now does not recognise either my original sim or my spare sim.
I see there are a number of people who have experienced this problem.
My phone is the MDA Vario 3 on T-Mobile.
I didn't take a note of the correct ROM reference, only the bottom line which was "P 1.56.110.4", so I wouldn't know which ROM to flash it back to at the end.
All other functions are fine. WiFi, GPS and all my settings. I now have an american keyboard, so lost the £ (£) sign.
It will not recognise either my UK T-Mobile sim or my UK 3 sim.

I tried with 6.0 and 6.1 !! HTC ROM, AT&T ROM dont work for me.
I downloaded them here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
No success and i´ve tested lots of them!
I had exactly the same problem. Caused me a right headache, follow these steps:-
You are more than likely running 6.0 or 6.1 rom, you will need to downgrade first to a rom that's 5.xx first. Then run the Simunlocker and it will work and you will notice the icon to click "OK" on the sim entry screen will appear.
You can then reflash back to the rom that you are currently using, but I would suggest flashing dutty's rom as it's the best.
So to recap:-
1) Downgrade to a rom that's 5.xx first
2) Then run Simunlocker.
3) Then reflash to your current rom or Dutty's.
4) Might be wise to make a note of the radio version you are using as well and then reflash this again.
Good luck.

There is no such thing as a WM5 rom for the Kaiser. Your only choice is 6.0 or 6.1.
OK, I'm wrong on the 5x version (i'm a bit of a newbie). To clarify this I flashed Alex's rom to fix the problem (6.0). Quote from Simunlocker:-
Note for WM6.1 users
================
Do not try this on 6.1! You will need to downgrade to 6.0
Farmer Joe - here's the link to the thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354583
You will need to search for Alex's Flash rom - ver .52 ultraclean (this worked for me). Then run simunlocker, then run Dutty's rom if you want, then flash a later radio rom for better battery life (I'm using 1.64.08.21...)
How do we setup a WIKI for Orange users then? Any ideas - new to me sorry.

Actually he is correct. I assume he's talking 5.0 CE Version, which indeed the standard WM6.0 Roms are. WM6.1 is CE OS 5.2.
That is the embeded CE version that WM is based upon.
CE 5.0 or 5.1 = WM6.0
< CE 5.2 = WM6.1
I'm having trouble with my Tilt (it recently started being randomly unresponsive to commands (15-20 second lag some times). Is there going to be a new AT&T 6.1 official ROM with updated drivers? My device has the 8-25-07 ROM date, and before I decide what to do I'm checking on the status of official AT&T releases.
No, as far as I know, there isn't an official one yet. However, a lot of the cooked ROMs on this site will probably fix your problem.
If you can't wait for the official ATT WM6.1 release then you could try their latest WM6.0 release http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=67&act=sd or as mentioned, could try a cooked ROM.
upgrade ur hardspl and the lags/freezes will be gone.

Looks like he is still using an old Stock ATT Tilt ROM (WM 6.0), so that is not likely the issue.
@ gmfeld. If you have had your Tilt for a quote some time, it is possible that you simply have some junk, or orphaned registry settings, or something slowing your system down.
I would recommend either upgrading your ROM to the latest Stock ATT Tilt ROM (as posted above), or simply doing a Hard Reset to get your current ROM back to its original state. Of course, do a BACKUP before you do anything that involves Hard Reset or Flashing!!!1
I just got my tilt and I think I have a newer official version.
It is
ROM 1.62.502.0
Date 01/17/08
Radio 1.27.14.09
I've noticed it has a bluetooth headset issue (not sure if it is exclusive to mine) where it will end the call, but won't hang up in the phone program.
gmfeld & vanisher,
I would suggest you at least run PPCPimBackup then a hard reset. If you have a little time this weekend you should read through G.W.E.N.I. then flash a nice cooked ROM. Play with your device and post educated questions in the proper threads. You WILL appreciate your device more than you ever did...guaranteed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2273408&postcount=2561
The above is a noob success story. I would recommend you go the same ROM route as he did as for starters.
There is no official AT&T WM6.1 ROM yet, but we're getting there.
Check the shipped ROMs section on the wiki to see how new / old your ROM is.

Thanks to all for all the suggestions. I've been running SKTools, so I'm pretty sure I've gotten rid of all the junk and orphaned registry settings, etc.
I agree with all that I need to flash a new ROM, or reflash my original ROM, that's the only thing left to do to clean up my Tilt. Just trying to get some info on when or if a new official AT&T 6.1 ROM is to be released, so I don't go through that process twice. If I knew that its a ways off, I will probably then go with one of the cooked ROMS now.
I've flashed several ROM's to my x7510, starting with Cmonex's 1st WWE ROM, followed by a few versions of Xacsx's ROM's, always going back to Cmonex's every so often.
After having installed one of Xacsx's ROM's, the keyboard layout changed from QWERTY to QWERTZ and I had to do a reg edit to correct it. I learnt from somebody here that QWERTZ is a german keyboard layout, which fits seeing Xacsx is german.
Now here's the strange thing - after having flashed a previous ROM with QWERTY layout, I still had the QWERTZ layout. The setting had somehow "survived" the flashing?
And it gets better. After having flashed Xstep's ROM, the phone on my device remained turned off and nothing I could do would turn it on. That is a MAJOR crisis for me! I flashed Cmonex's ROM again, to see if I could recover from that and hoping it was simply an error with the ROM.
Xstep's ROM has RealVGA built in and the default setting is 92 dpi.
After flashing Cmonex's ROM my device was running at 92 dpi, even though RealVGA is not installed! I had to install it just to change the settings back to 192 dpi.
And still the phone doesn't turn on!
Update:
The problems I experienced were down to two things:
1) I had flashed two ROMs that each contained their own extended ROM's in succession
2) Somehow I had messed up the radio on my x7510
THE SOLUTION:
1) Flash the extended ROM supplied by Cmonex, together with the matching ROM
1. customruu for x7510, grab it from attachment. use this to flash roms.
2. nbh building tool for x7510, in another attachment. just choose X7510 from device list to work with it.
3. some stock OS links (some taken from RUU some from dumped / reconstructed roms)

2) Flash the x7510 radio supplied by Xtep
I have repacked the radio for a x7510. You can download it from: http://rapidshare.com/files/191672003/x7510_Radio_1.58.rar

I have axcsx's WWE ROM loaded on my x7510 which I loaded after loading cmonex's 3.29 rom. To be honest I did not know that a QWERTZ keyboard existed, however, all of the keys on my keyboard keys appear to work exactly as one would expect - QWERTY fashion without any required registry fix.
I did download xtep's rom but I'm now not likely to load after your experience. I wish I had more technical knowledge to suggest a fix. cmonex posted after a long absence yesterday. Perhaps it worth a pm?
Still wonder why you had a keyboard issue and I don't?
I actually flashed ALL of Xacsx's ROM's at one stage or the other. I believe the problem started after I flashed version2 of his WWE ROM.
Time for an update:
The QWERTZ instead of QWERTY issue I believe was down to one of Xacsx's ROM's having over-written the extended ROM (he warned that it would).
I've downloaded Cmonex's HardSPL, WWE ROM and matching extended ROM, then flashed 1st the HardSPL, then the extended ROM and finally the WWE ROM.
As a result, I no longer get the 96 dpi upon startup, and the keyboard reverted back to QWERTY.
At least that's progress.
But, the phone still simply won't turn on and I get an error message about Device.exe
I'm hoping this isn't due to hardware failure and that there is a software fix for it, but time will tell.

It does not sound like a hardware problem. Have you tried searching at the Windows folder if you do have the Device.exe file? It might just be because of a missing file. I don't know the contents of the Ext ROM, but could this file be in there too. Maybe when you upgraded your Ext ROM, this file was not included. So everytime you perform a hard reset, since it is missing from the Ext ROM, it does not install to your device.
If the file is present in the Windows folder, maybe the registry is pointing to a wrong file.
Had a look and there is no DEVICE.EXE in Windows
your problems with the keyboard layout or 96DPI are dued to ExtROM. In the ExtROM of my ROMs I have added a configuration file to switch to 96 DPI, you have said before that Xacsx said something similar about QWERTZ layout.
The real problem is that Cmonex's ROM does not include ExtROM, so although you revert to his ROM, you still have the previous extROM (from Xacsx or mine). You also need to flash the official ExtROM released by Cmonex.
About the phone problem, I cannot help you. I haven't experimented that isue on my own x7510 (tested both WWE and ESN roms). Anyway, if is a ROM problem, it sould be solved by flahsing another ROM.
Device.exe is in XIP part of the ROM.
Yes, I've already re-flashed Cmonex's extended ROM, thanks Xtep.
To be honest I don't believe your ROM is to blame. I have reflashed Cmonex's extended ROM, then her matching WWE ROM, in that order and still I get the DEVICE.EXE error and still the phone won't switch on.
That pretty much tells me it isn't ROM related.
I've attached the log file (renamed to .TXT) to this post - any help is gratefully received!
It may be worth flashing the full HTC ROM, which incliudes ROM, ExtROM and Radio; once up and running again, you could then reflash your cooked ROM of choice.
Factory ROMsdo tend to fix some of these odd problems.
Hi Neil,
I was under the impression that's pretty much what Cmonex's plain vanilla WWE ROM + matching extended ROM was, which is why I flashed it.
Only thing I haven't done yet is reverting back to the stock SPL.

I sugest you to flash a Radio again (I thin that version 1.58 in this thread is from x7510).
You problem is when you activate the phone and that is managed by radio.
Thanks Xtep - I think you're on the right track with your suggestion, but that radio won't flash to my x7510. It keeps failing with unsupported device error message.
Any ideas where I can get hold of a stock radio?

That is because this file is for Athena x7500.

You are indeed a scholar and a true gentleman!
Xtep, I've got phone functionality back! Thanks a stack!!!
And right now I'm re-flashing your ROM!
Did that work NR?
If not, can you PM me- I may have a suggestion, but can't post in an open forum
