hello everyone!
i have been reading feverishly on all of this, and think i have some solid ideas.
Wanted to come right out and ask.
Anyone have a recommendation for me as far as which WM6 Rom to upgrade to?
My 8125 is unlocked for use with the old AT&T Blue (yes, i know, im holding on for dear life out of contract!)
Which would work best for me? (rom, radio, etc, for WM6. and do i have to unlock the CID again? same old method? or new for WM6?)
I am sick of WM5 and the issues i am having a fresh start would do it, but why not upgrade!?
appreciate any links as well.
Thanks for your advice in advance!
Dan
My findings
Hi,
It's always best to first read the tread on how to flash. Realy.
2nd flash to the latest rom from your provider .
Radio 2.19 seems to be the best in general. Others have issues in some situations. However you can flash those without hard reset. So you can try several without losing settings and stuff.
On OS my findings for wm6 are Faria's latest (no touch) or reTOUChed final. But i didn't try NBD 7.9 yet.
All respect to other cooks! these just met my needs best. It's personal.
greetings
Spinner van Webben
thanks for the input
i am trying to catch up. i used to visit this forum multiple times a day! i am trying to jump back in the scene after almost a year. thread links are a definite a plus!
can you post links for that stuff?
I have flashed before, but it was a whilllle ago
i have been eyeballing this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315178

my current setup is as follows:
IPL 2.17
SPL 2.17

Hey, take a look at my sig.
I've been reading through these forums for months too.
Here's my 2 cents:
You need to decide what kind of ROM you want... Touch or Crossbow
I use to love Crossbow but I found Touch and I'm in love with it...once you go with Touch you won't want to go to Crossbow anymore.
If you want Touch.. I would say NBD v7.8..it's awesome.
If you want Crossbow.. NTS v1 (jaguar) is awesome too... there is NTS v2.. but I haven't tried it.
sweet. you have the same setup i do
i am not familiar with touch or crossbow. what is the diff?
can you link me to the files i need, and/or the procedure you used to update?
thanks so much

Sorry, my friend... then you have lot of reading to do.
Espeically if you don't even know how to flash...
This is for your own good.. if you don't know what you're doing.. you might brick your phone.... meaning dead phone.
So, I advise you to start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
This should tell you how to flash...
Then you can start picking out what you want to flash to.
Touch: NBD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311534
Crossbow: NTS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314660
If you don't know the difference then try flashing them both and pick which one you like... I did... I must have flashed like dozens of time to figure out which one I liked. Also, people have different needs and preference so my taste in ROMs might not fit your needs too.
Just because you flash a new ROM doesn't mean everything's going to work... we'd want them to but sometime it's now.. so, without knowing what you did you won't probably enjoy the new ROM.
Try to enjoy this learning process.. otherwise, I'd say don't even bother because you're gonna have hell of a time trying to get everything just right.
I'm not trying to be mean.... just trying to help.
I'll try to help anyone if I can.. just like everyone else in this forum.
PS. I go here to see the list of threads for WM6 Wizard (8125).. I try to keep up with it but can't..so, I just focus on what I like.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=356&order=desc
I do know how to flash!
i flashed it before, but i am not up to speed with the new stuff.
to make my phone ideal, stable, and the best it can be,
which version recommendations do you suggest for, rom, radio, etc.
how should i set the phone up? which rom should i download and is there a particular place you can link me to download?
if i just know WHAT i want to, which versions, etc, i can read up, search and do all that myself. i just dont know what would be ideal for me right now
i am having a problem with the 8125 where i will be talking and it will just shut off and start rebooting, and keep rebooting. die, reboot. with full battery.
then when i plug it in to the stock charger, it will come on, but the battery reads in at like 6-15%,
is this the battery?
it started acting up when i spilled a little water on it last week!

I am in SC with ATT (Cingular) and a 8125 G4 and am having good results with XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a Full Version. I started flashing without unlocking the CID but it was a pain so I went ahead and unlocked it, but it is not necessary and there are some great step by step instructions in the forum. I followed the instructions and even though I am a newbie I haven't bricked my phone.

Oh.. in that case.. just like my sig says, I use NBD v7.8 right.. gonna flash to v7.9 soon.. man, thast zoki guy is fast and good.
go here and you'll find bunch of he's ROMs... I found that v7.4 & v7.8 is most stable, for me at least.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311534
For Radio.. the UK T-Mobile 2.19 is most stable from what I hear and experienced.
I've only tried 2.69 with ipl/spl 3.08.. but didn't work out.. I started missing calls.
There are group of people who's trying to figure out which Radio is the best in this forum... so, look in there time to time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312834&page=22
When flashing I always try to flash to T-Mobile 2.26 first.. then flash UK T-mobile 2.19.. then whatever ROM I want.. this way I start fresh all the time.
About your battery... well, I'm no expert but it might be with your battery... don't know.. I bet that water did do some damage.. if it's still under warrenty I would try getting a replacement for the phone first... then, if it still doesn't work then try getting new battery. Other then that, I don't know much about battery... good luck!
hi i was reading the black diamond thread and people were saying that they had problems with droped calls and that when they would get new sms their phone would crash was this ever fixed? in 3.0 or was it just the 1.0 and 2.0?
answer
hey. those comments are in reference to Blackdiamond 3.1. I got dropped calls with the ROM all the time and I couldn't end my calls ever, so I flashed another ROM. But i came back to this one and this time i tried the 2.19 radio rom with it and for the past week everything has been working fine. No dropped calls or any other problems. So just flash the 2.19 radio rom after you flash BlackDiamond. Hope that helps.

where can i get the 2.19 radio rom?
BD3.1
I've tested BD 3.1 and I can say it is one of the best ROM's around.
But i had my issues with it.
I got my voice on calls scrambled bad, people barely could hear me.
I changed a lot of RADIOS and no hope.
2.19.11 is very good but the signal meter didn't work on me with BD 3.1.
Now I'm on 2.47.11 and I'm using TNT's ROM as it is the base for BD either.
PSo some search for radio ROMs here around.

hey. i think he meant that TNT is the ROM that BlackDiamond (BD) is based off of. try the 2.19.11 radio rom and if that doesn't fix the call problems (even though it should) then i would agree with the other reply and go with TNT's rom, it's a good ROM as well.

in general speaking, you must have double registered the number (the same number registered twice) that's the only way that no name is shown on screen if you have registered. Please check if you have double records on your contacts or may be you caller id service is not activated call your service provider to check it up
scrolling with touchflow
scrolling downwards: scroll (slip softly) your finger from button to top without taking up your finger
scroll upwards: scroll your finger from top to button without taking up your finger.
stop scrolling: just click (tap) with your finger in the middle of screen once.
also try to use the top of your nail instead of your finger that will do better contact with the screen (of course if your nail is not sharpened - otherwhise you'll scratch your screen)
just once
i just flashed my rom all over again after a system hangup..
i just lowered the volume, and it crashed..
but other than tha..no problems...so..just try it..
I have been adding/deleting features and programs in the new 19202 build that NoThrills has so graciously released to us.
Due to it kaiser designed base, giving it amazing speed(even in complete stock form), I was curious as to how many people would like a cooked version released, with some bug fixes, registry tweaks, and also some added utilities.
If you would like this, please respond letting me know what you would like to see in this release. I have already cooked several versions for my own person use, and modified it for my own use.
Just let me know what everyone would like to see, and ill try my best to release a few builds to accommodate the majority.
First Release of my Hybrid OS 5.2.19202 (Build 19209) can be found here after I upload: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2069244#post2069244
Yes please!
I'd love to see the basic ROM with bug fixes and generic updates to the HTC progs. To many ROMs get stuffed with extraneous crap that isn't useful.
Cook away brother, as I'd enjoy the sampling.
I do not think this is a good build to cook from unless you feel like spending lots of time in the kitchen fixing MS screw ups! Has anyone noticed the screen tearing from the new .dlls? plus there are a few other things I won't mention since most of you haven't played with roms that long to understand what I am talking about.
What specifics would you like to see?
Such as apps to be added/removed
What bugs do you think should have priority?
etc, etc...
uDK just released a version...
I'd like to see a "If HTC could be bothered to put all the fixes and S/W updates in all one ROM, This is how it would look ROM"
Camera Fix
Camera Album
Comm Manager
Video Dialer
Calculator
Little fixes like backlight going out on call.
Removing of the useless Windows Update.
But most Important its clean!!! Fresh...
UC compliant for all us to enjoy the phone our way...
I like flashing other peoples work... But thats their work... The way they want the phone... Yes they add little bits and take bits out on request sometimes... But how nice would it be to have our own way...
Argh 1st post other than just a thanks so I babbled and lost my self...
Thanks for your suggestions. I am working on these fixes as I type.
So far I have completed this:
- Working Video Dialer
- Comm Manager(6 Button)
- Latest HTC Album
- Camera Fix(Latest which i have seen)... PLEASE post the cab that contains which fix you are speaking of.
- Calculator
- GPS Test
- Office and OneNote has been removed in the lite version
- Welcome Center removed
- HSDPA Icon added
- HTC Plus added(disabled by default)
- HTC Home updated(now with tab under today settings)
- And more!
all the latest htc apps.....audio manager,home,album etc.....plus total comander is a must...thanks

why not just rls ur own build? you did great work with the first kaiser rom.. continue austin..
why not release it? because it takes more time than it should to turn these WM6.1 pigs into something worth having on my phone I have worked many roms and this is fast yes I'll agree but it also has some major bugs simply follow the release thread and you will see. plus this build isn't released from MS it has been modded in some little ways which are fine with me since that's what needed to be done so as we wouldn't know where it came from.

Well, I'm not a professional cook. But I flashed about every ROM that was ever out here, both on my Hermes and my Kaiser.
And despite of your reactions, AllTheWay and Austinsnyc, I really really dig this ROM. Never had a faster and snappier ROM before (even not Dutty's), no single freeze for 4 days, never needed to softreset.
I don't use voicecommander, but I dó use bluetooth (carkit, external phone), GPRS, HSDPA, phone, TomTom, Navigon, PointUI, PZPTools, etc. It all works great!
Yes, there are some problems reported, but aren't they also with Dutty's, Schaps, Alex's?
And yes, it may be a cooked ROM, but for me it's really worth further developing...

In terms of normal usage... not really, but I must admit I have been using my Tilt more for messing around with than actually being productive since I got it
When testing a new ROM I always do alot of mode switch tests as I like to have a quick swap.
However, for purposes of this test, I didn't switch mode at all.

alright, cool thanks.
Earlier this evening I had to reset my phone. It sat in stand by for at least 45 min and i was playing with it, using touchflo, tapping, etc. All was normal.
However, after flipping out the keyboard I noticed that it briefly started to have its freezing moments when flipping back to portrait. So perhaps this could be looked into a little.

Well not to get too off topic from the SPL issue, I will say that I have found portrait/landscape mode swapping to be very inconsistent on all ROMS. On the fastest ROMs I have tried the screen rotates in about 1 second (1 mississippi count). On the worst ROMs it is about a 3 mississippi count. However, the fast ROMs will sometimes perform at more of a 1.5-2.0 second interval and the slower ROMs will sometimes perform closer to the 1.5 marks. I don't think this has to do with what i have running etc as I will usually do these test just after a soft reset (giving the phone about 60-120 seconds to finish starting up first). But I'll leave it at that...back to the topic at hand....

Ok I would try Jockys HardSPL 1.1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These are the results of Jocky's 1.1...they are equivalent to HardSPL:
Jockey SPL (SPL-1.1.JockyW)
1588
1588
1558
1588
Average:1580
As far as the other ones you attached... HardSPL is I believe the normal OliPro one which I already tested. JumpSPL is a "soft" SPL and can't actually be flashed permanently. Correct me if I'm wrong.
As you are I am very sceptical as to how the SPL could have any affect on the OS. However I did read one interesting post in the other thread.
The poster brought up the fact that the SPL loads the OS. If the SPL improperly starts that load out before the .dlls take over it could have an effect on the OS.
So far that is the most logical reason I have heard thus far. I would love to see olipro jocky or one of the other heavy hitters weigh in on the issue.
Till then I think Ill stick with HardSPL.
I'm not a fancy-schmancy tester-roony (what? ), but I can state with certainty that my Tilt, which is currently running L26's Diamond v4 ROM, has seen major improvements since flashing to the new HTC 3.28 SPL.
With the L26 v4 ROM in particular, I was experiencing screen lag several times per minute. With the new SPL, it has not happened once!
I am almost positive that a benchmark is not going to show touch screen lag. Also, the improvement does not seam to be quantifiable, but noticeable none the less.
Fact of the matter is bengalih has been the only one I have seen to try to quantify and qualify the effects (if any) of the newer 6.1 based roms and various SPL's. I applaud his efforts, and further investigation is warranted IMHO.
Frankly, posting one-off reports of success or failure using one SPL or other using one ROM or other pale in comparison to a well documented method and means, which bengalih has at least attempted. Too often this forum relies on "Ok this is what works for me" posts, rather than sytematic efforts to determine what will work for most under such and such conditions. The results should be quantifiable and replicable. Bengalih has attempted that, suggested a process, and is asking for replication or refinement of the procedure. That is what this thread is for IMHO.
You may not like the message, but dont kill the messenger.
Back to the topic!
I dont post much but on this issue I am totally convinced that the SPL is causing issues. I started having the freezing with the official att rom 1.62 after I had been using other cooked roms and hardSPL. Just yesterday I switched back to the SPL that came with att 1.62 and I havent had a freeze at all. I am dying to hear from Pof, Jockey, Oli anyone of those that know how the SPL really works and perhaps a new version of HardSPL. So let me reiterate, no placebo here, problem solved by reverting to original spl. However I dont like being stuck with official roms.

I dont post much but on this issue I am totally convinced that the SPL is causing issues. I started having the freezing with the official att rom 1.62 after I had been using other cooked roms and hardSPL. Just yesterday I switched back to the SPL that came with att 1.62 and I havent had a freeze at all. I am dying to hear from Pof, Jockey, Oli anyone of those that know how the SPL really works and perhaps a new version of HardSPL. So let me reiterate, no placebo here, problem solved by reverting to original spl. However I dont like being stuck with official roms.

I agree with most of your post.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE OFFICIAL ROMS TO USE OFFICIAL SPL!!!
1. HARD SPL
2. Flash L26 V4 (Cause it is the best out there)
3. Official SPL
If you want to try another ROM (but you wont, till L26 V5) simply flash HARD SPL, repeat.

Having a large test group try two SPLs and report back their findings is a procedure.

The original poster tested not only two, but as many as five SPL's if I recall correctly. At-large testing is good, however your personal assessment will be drowned in another flood of "me too" and "me-not" posts. Which IMHO is counterproductive. Stick to the procedure, test, and post. Suggest changes to the procedure, test, then post. Otherwise you are just noise.

Procedure:
Device=Tilt
Use original rom.....no freezing
HardSPL OliPof
Flash Rom I tried aprox. 10 of the most popular. Then perform common tasks on each. ..... freezing occurs, non responsive screen and keys random times.
Didnt matter if it was a 6.0 rom or 6.1 rom. Freezing occured on both but the freezes were more frequent on 6.1 roms.
Flashed updated ATT SPL and then flashed official ATT 1.62 and havent experienced a freeze in 24 hours. Note this rom did have the freezing when HardSPL was used.

AWESOME!! Dude... you roxors glad you got it werxin rite!!
Now can we get back to some real testing?
<casm>
Which folder on my device do I have to copy JumpSPL1.94 to?
I have SPL- 1.0.OlifPof, CPLD- 8 (whatever that means?)
I flashed a new Rom after a couple years of having a Dutty Rom (which made me hate my phone) now I like the new rom but my radio doesn't work.
I've spent lots of time reading guides already. Just want to know where to go from here before I change my radio (I have no sound!).
Any help guys?
I have tried two times to flash the Hard SPL I copied the JumpSPL then ran KaiserCustomRUU. But I keep getting an error and this time it was stuck at 0% and I had to recover. I don't want to brick.
Is there anyone around that can walk me through it?
Should I go back to the stock rom and start over?
As I said before I'm on SPL - 1.0.OliPof. Is that a hard SPL or do I have to JumpSPL then HardSPL?
Just follow the how to flash for noobs guide and follow the HardSPL directions EXACTLY! When HardSPL won't flash for me, it's usually because I didn't follow the instructions exactly (Eg didn't take out my SIM/SD card). Good luck and happy flashing.
Dave
Yes I followed it exactly. I followed the Noob Guide exactly and after Kaiser Unlocker, Step 2: Unlock Radio. I have a fuzzy screen after restart.
Damn it! Don't know what the hell to do now that's why I was asking.
Next I hard reset my phone to get passed the fuzzy screen. It went alright til the phone restarted and I got a loud buzzing sound coming out of the back speaker. The phone restarted again with another quieter buzzing sound.
R- 1.70.Olinex
It's allowing me to tap and setup device. Same buzzing noise throughout the whole process.
Thanks DaveTheTytnIIGuy for your input. I appreciate it .
The rest of you don't all answer at once.

It's posts like this one that irritate the long term members of this board. They are not your perosnal tech support, so being pissy about them not responding as soon as you want (even with adding a smiley face) doesn't really get help.
I am a complete noob to this, but after doing a fair amount of research I can try to answer your questions because I had those questions as well and just kept reading until I took a leap of faith. And yes I know information on this site is hard to find. You just have to keep at it and read forum posts on several different ROMs and their issues and you will find commonalities.

I always drop mine into the root of the phone file system when it is connected to my PC through USB. Then I use file explorer on the device to navigate to and then run the file.

I suggest you go to the radio page which is listed on the Wiki (and so is the suggestion that the issue with your volume is related to the radio):

To change SPLs, you always need to stick a Jump SPL on your phone and run it, and then run the update for the specific hard SPL you want. I went for the JumpSPL 1.94 initially and found it didn't work. Stepping back to the original JumpSPL allowed me to follow the directions to a T (including removing the battery, SIM and SD cards, deactivating USB in ActiveSync, etc...).
So it sounds like you went to a 1.0 Hard SPL, and doing so changed your radio to the one you listed. Generally if you are running Windows 6.1 Mobile or Windows Mobile 6.5, then you want to look for a Hard SPL in the 3.X range. Which one is a bit of a "poke and hope" but you should use the version that matches the OS your ROM version is based off on (most Windows Mobile 6.5 versions are based off of the HTC OS version 3.34 which is why I changed my Hard SPL from 3.56 to 3.34).
So might I suggest you get on the SPL version that matches your ROM base OS (the chef should know which one if they haven't already listed it), and then update your radio. You don't need the Jump SPL stuff for the radio or Windows Mobile ROMs.
Good luck and as I said keep reading multiple threads to try and see what others are running into and how they fixed it.
Thanks hotfix. My smiley and comment were more a joke for me to keep it humorous. Because I knew i messed up and there was no point in getting mad. I ended up having to start over.
What you said about the 1.94 JumpSPL was the same issue I had I went to the original and had no issues.
Information here is EXTREMELY hard to sort through. Wiki's and guides link to each other and parts and files are scattered all over the place.
I'm just looking for a stable rom at this point. But it's not really clear cut on this board. Do you know of any cooks who choose Quality over Quantity with their Roms? Meaning they make sure things are fixed before moving on.
ROMs are different from chef to chef but some are created more equal than others. I'm hooked on TPC's Elite series. you've got to understand that not all ROMs work the same on everyone's phone. TPC's v9 is probably the best one i've seen in a while but his v10 incorporated some new parts that caused problems for many. Try his or ultimate x2 if you want stable and fast with lots of extras.
Just make sure you follow the directions in the FAQ and be sure to read their FAQ posts FIRST (TPC's is the post #4 in his thread
Off that link I posted, I searched for "cooked" and found a thread of all cooked ROMs. I have personally only been at this for less than a month, but I have been watching which ROMs are being updated and supported by the authors and which haven't.
I think you will find 2-3 to start with there if you simply watch the first page to see which ROMs are getting traffic (and if the feedback is good).
Stable is subjective. What is stable on one phone isn't necessarily stable on another. I was playing with on ROM everyone raved about and eventually ditched it because it kept doing wierd stuff that the authors couldn't reproduce. That and a v9 of a ROM can be very stable and a v10 can go off the deep end.
Right now I am playing with AthineOS (the multimedia version) and am quite pleased.
still should have asked the question in the right thread and waited for an answer instead of starting a new thread, i recommend reading forum rules before starting a new thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=378
