Well I am in a good mood so I will answer quickly before you get flamed...
READ READ READ - It looks you are running a stock ROM. I have no way of knowing if it is unlocked or not.
First you need to upgrade to a 2.XX ROM. I would suggest unlocking it yourself to be on the safe side. READ and follow the directions exactly!!
Then upgrade to this ROM, again, after READING and following directions exactly.
WARNING - You can kill your new toy if you do not READ and follow directions exactly. Even if you do, you may still have problems. THAT is when you start asking questions here.
Cheers!

Thanx for the help.What 2.xx rom would u recomend?Do i need a new bootloader?
Again, you need to read
Go to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
Read and understand everything about it. This will tell you how to CID unlock your phone. Since you are IPL/SPL 1.00 then you don't have to do the Button rom downgrade (that would be an upgrade for you . You can try starting with lokiwiz (step 4 I think) and go from there. But if you get errors from lokiwiz then put the button rom on and do it again. Then continue with the steps and upgrade to the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM. That will get your IPL / SPL to 2.26 and give you a nice stable platform to work off of. Then (and only then) you can start looking at putting on custom roms like WM6.
so i have a G3?

Ok,
I have posted this problem in a couple of threads, but it always seems to get lost in the page after page of other questions.
Here is my problem. I have been reading this forum for weeks in preparation of upgrading my Cingular 8125. I got it 2 weeks ago, but still spent another week reading the tutorials and FAQ's so I wouldn't be a nuisance poster. Well things have gone so badly that I really need help.
I have a Cingular 8125, IPL/SPL 2.25 I have button flashed it over 20 times and I get an IPL of 1.08, but my SPL is still 2.25. I have tried other flashing methods, other files. I tried Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102. I have cleared the computer with nothing running. Booted and re-booted. I have gone back to 2.25 and tried button again and again.
I am so disappointed because I have spent so much time at this site, but can't even get past the first step towards flashing a new ROM. Please, any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like your phone is CID locked (this is something different as SIM-locked btw). I do not really know if this also affects whether or not you are able to flash IPL/SPL but it affects flashing the OS for sure.

13. You will see a screen that has ...
U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)
Q. Quit
first key in "U" to unlock and then
you should key in letter "C" for cid unlock .
check step #16 you will see
16. Watch the rebooting of your PDA, if BOTH IPL and SPL are 1.xx then great. Quite probably your IPL will be 1.xx and your SPL will be 2.xx. Rerun the button 1.05 ROM downgrade a second time and it will become 1.x on both IPL and SPL. You don't need to redo the unlocking.

You ran lokiwiz and it worked with an SPL of 2.25? It is my understanding that both IPL/SPL need to be 1.xx for lokiwiz to work. I'll give it a try though.

as i state , follow that step thru slowly and carfully, you will get it done. But first remember by heart that you have to make sure that you got a "G3" or "G4" ...very IMPORTANT

Hoang,
Thanks for your replies. I'm sure it is a G3 because my IPL/SPL are 2.xx, not 2.xxx, which I have read is how you tell the difference. I have followed that post word for word.
I have been hitting "U" as the post states and it always fails. I assumed it was because my unit has not downgraded completely following step 2, so I didn't think step 4 would work until step 2 was done right.
But I will try your way as soon as I'm done my coffee and report back. Thanks again for your help.

You're on the right track
In addition to the great help that Hoang and other members have given you, I would suggest having the Wizard Unlocking Wiki and Dr Puttinghams Definitive unlocking guide within arm’s reach. Both of these compliment vippies tutorial. Here they are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Unlocking
Two months ago, I unlocked my 8125 G3 (2.25 IPL/SPL) with no problems refering to all three of the tutorials (I just wanted to be safe).
After you initially downgrade your ROM to the Button ROM (you would only perform this step once)….
You only have to worry about having the same values for both the IPL/SPL after you run Lokiwiz twice (once for sim unlock and the second for the CID unlock). Your wizard will reboot both times, if you did it correctly.
At this point is when you need to make sure that your IPL/SPL are the same (i.e., 1.xx). If it isn’t, then you would be required to run the Button Rom again.
Somebody has gone through the same problems as you have experienced…check out this old thread from last year:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277248&highlight=successfully
Stupid me. I am the perfect example of people who have read things over and over and still missed something.
When running lokiwiz, I copied the enablerapi.cab to my phone, but failed to go back to my phone and extract it.
Everything is perfect now. Phone is SIM and CID unlocked and I am already playing with the ne TNT 5.0 Touchflo edition.
Thanks to Hoang, reynavictor and everyone else who responded.
well, we should thanks to all the people who wrote up the instruction, and all those programer that create new rom for us to flash.
keep in mind that , there will be more new people like you and me suufer thru the unlock step. so prepare to help them out as paying forward ..

Same issue
Hey I had the same issue with my 8125 on my first attempt. Again, read the tutorials, very important.
This is how my 8125 really became cid unlocked:
[First I used Lokiwiz2 to cid unlock. I then flashed the button rom. When I flashed I had IPL 1.xx and SPL 2.25. I ran the lokiwiz2 again and successfully cid unlocked (prior to this I received an error from lokiwiz). This 2nd unlock attempt with the button rom did it for me. After the cid unlock, I reflashed the button rom and both IPL, SPL were 1.xx.]
Now flash an OEM rom (Tmo or Cingular) so you dont have memory leaks. Now your ready to flash a WM6 rom.
Hope this helps.
Since morning i'm trying to find the link where i can download the WM6 undergroud version. Actually i tried installing WM6 Most beautiful, but i'm getting Update error [302] after 95% of installation. Mine is a G3 phone with IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26

If only we were all so rich... When I first started, I downloaded a WM6 Rom I found on this forum but read nothing... Tried to flash it, phone went to bootloader immediately afterwards and would do nothing else. I called T-Mobile and they sent me to the place on T-Mobile.com where I could get the official Rom download and was able to restore my MDA to life again but not until I had read about 20 different threads, did I attempt it again.
Thats the problem with some people here. They don't read and just assume that because they're a Software Dev that they automatically know everything or think that because they're pretty computer savvy that they know what they're doing or think that because they had their device for a few months that they're automatically an expert... It's annoying to tell you the truth because the only real way to learn is through a lot of reading, or trial and error and thats how everyone here has to learn.
I read this forum for a few MONTHS before I flashed my device, and I'm glad I did. Not only do you have to READ the information, but you also have give it time to SINK IN so that it is fully understood.
There are some people who automatically cry out for help without expending any effort (NOOBE needs help! give me a link, fix this, WAA WAA). And then there are the ones who make this a great forum, they READ READ and REREAD, TEST and RETEST and generally provide knowledge, information and assistance.
All of us are riding on the backs of the mostly unsung developers Like Faria, Bepe and all the others.

I'm not interested with the Underground WM6 but when MB_WM6 did not work, i thought of trying that.
I have a question here, i tried installing MB_WM6 and it stopped at 95%, later i tried to install Faria's kitchen ROM and it was successful. I tried unlocking the CID with lokowiz03. Do u people still feel that my phone is still CID locked.

Download WST tool and run it,it'll give all the info about your phone to determine the present status of your phone,only than it can be confirmed if it's cid locked or unlocked.
btw,faria's kitchen is for cooking the custom rom according to your own needs,it contains the Base Rom,OEM,RUU... and tools to build a rom.Did you cook your own Rom and flashed ?

"Standing on the shoulder of giants"
Ricardo Afonso, 2005
I've always fancied flashing my Kaiser (V1615) with a new ROM, but was always nervous because I wasn't sure of the process and didn't want to risk bricking the phone as well as all the effort needed to get everything back on it I needed. Well, a few days ago my old Kaiser met the floor and an untimely end. So I decided to take the risk and put a new ROM on it and decided on the latest Dutty WM6.1 ROM.
I read all about flashing on here and made as much sense of it as I could. Thing is, I'm very technical in general, but not very familiar with Windows Mobile or flashing. I found there was lots to read, but it was all written with an assumed level of knowledge and understanding of terminology. As a result I found it quite hard to understand. I took the plunge anyway and started, but things didn't work out as expected and I didn't understand why.
I'm not trying to be critical of all the work a lot of people have put into the documentation that is available online, it's just that when I originally approached this with zero flashing experience I found it difficult and confusing to understand. What I really needed was a concise and basic introduction to flashing. I've now been through the process and after re-reading the documentation it makes a lot more sense.
I worked out you need to run something called HardSPL before you could flash a new ROM. I'm still not sure what HardSPL does apart from CID unlock the device, but what does CID unlock mean?
I ran HardSPL v1 and it started ok, but then I ended up with a white screen. At this point I already wished I hadn't started, but no going back now. Is it known why some phones white screen? Turns out it's a common problem, so followed the instructions to recover. All was well again, but still with the original ROM.
I thought I'd be brave and stuck with it and this time tried JumpSPL1.56-KAIS instead of HardSPL as recommended on one of the tutorials. This went better and I ended up with the Tri-Color screen. I plugged my USB cable in and USB showed on screen.
Next step I thought was to flash a ROM onto the device. I ran the Dutty updater on my PC and all started ok, but when the update got to 18% I received a communication error. I tried to recover using the updater, but the same thing happened. At this point the phone wouldn't boot, so I was more than a little worried and wishing I hadn't started!
Found something that described several options for recovering from this problem. I decided to try and flash the device back to the original ROM from Vodafone. When I eventually found that ROM I ran JumpSPL again, got to the Tri-Color screen and ran the updater. This time the update completed successfully and the phone rebooted and was all working again.
I decided to leave the device as it was and started customising it myself. I'd still love to put a cooked ROM on there, especially if it helps with performance, but after the experience above I'm not very confident.
Can anyone tell me where or what went wrong? I'm going to get my old Kaiser repaired and want to try again on that phone.
My flashing routene (not ideal but it works for me)
1) run the first part of the Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer
2) after device reboots, hold camera button and restart to check SPL
3) Flash rom/radio of choice
4) Follow HardSPL v3.07, v3.28, v3.29 and v3.56 by JockyW 's second guide "If you have problems with the above process, try this:" and flash my 3.XX SPL of choice.
Sam
Wow, I need a cuppa now
I'll go through 1 at a time... (and Sam has answered some questions already)
-CID unlock means that when the phone is loading a new device into the ROM the Carrier ID check is removed, each Mobile phone carrier has a different CID in thier OS ROMs. Unlocked means you can flash a OS ROM from any carrier or a cooked OS ROM from this site.
-The Jump SPL should only be used for replacing the SPL. Do not flash anything other than SPL's when at the Jump SPL (or SSPL). OS and Radio ROMs should be flashed from either in Windows Or By Manually Entering the Bootloaders. More info on SPL's is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions?
-Have a look at flashing from SD Card to avoid communication problems, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
-The most clear instructions can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice, but this is what I normally encounter when I read something on here, which is advice which no doubt makes perfect sense to the author or others experienced in flashing, but usually raises more questions than it answers in my head.
For example;
1) run the first part of the Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer

What do you mean by the "first part"? The thread you've linked to doesnt really explain what I'm downloading and doing.
2) after device reboots, hold camera button and restart to check SPL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok. I get this assuming you mean the device will reboot automatically and I restart it to check the SPL version that gets shown on the boot screen, but why do I need to do this?
3) Flash rom/radio of choice
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So at this point I can simply plug my device into my PC and run the ROM updater I've downloaded. Working out what rom/radio version to download is a minefield in its own right.
4) Follow HardSPL v3.07, v3.28, v3.29 and v3.56 by JockyW 's second guide "If you have problems with the above process, try this:" and flash my 3.XX SPL of choice.

I thought HardSPL needed to be run before I flashed? Also, why the different versions? Which one do I choose?
BTW, not trying to moan about everything, just posting my experiences to find out where I went wrong, but also highlight some issues hopefully other flashing newbies can relate to and authors of tutorials can draw some useful feedback from.
Only one question, do I need to CID Unlock before using Jump and HardSpl or, the Hardspl does the Supercid ?
I'm not referring about SIM since I don't care, for now
With WM6.1 - Oficiall HTC ROM
Thanks
Thanks for that one dave, on reflection i kinda missed the whole point of the thread, and as for the majority of the stuff you posted i didnt undertand that to begin with.
Also, DaveTME, if you are wanting to flash a custom rom to youre kaiser. from my experiance and from the number of times ive seen this happen. i advise against asking for reccomendations(sp?) (not saying you will but its worth saying) try a few roms out and decide from there.
Also another thing to note. if you flash to WM6.1 remember to use a 3.xx spl otherwise you'll encounter a few problems with youre device.

download the Kaiser unlocker and run the first stage of it, the program is in the linked thread.

No, after the device reboots, youre given youre Rom, Protocol and Radio. if you hold the camera button and reset you'll get youre SPL displayed, youre looking for 1.01 olinex to be shown
So at this point I can simply plug my device into my PC and run the ROM updater I've downloaded. Working out what rom/radio version to download is a minefield in its own right.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) Yes, just run the RUU with youre chosen rom and thats it
2) its not a minefield, just make a decision on what rom you like and flash it. theres nothing to stop you flashing another one.

The 1.01 SPL will allow you to flash a cutom rom. following that you need a 3.xx SPL as they are designed for windows mobile 6.1. as for yure decision. i use 3.29, yet other users have had better sucess with 3.56. Most rom chefs will say which SPL they reccomend anyway with their rom.
-CID unlock means that when the phone is loading a new device into the ROM the Carrier ID check is removed, each Mobile phone carrier has a different CID in thier OS ROMs. Unlocked means you can flash a OS ROM from any carrier or a cooked OS ROM from this site.

Great. Thanks for that. Makes perfect sense now
-The Jump SPL should only be used for replacing the SPL. Do not flash anything other than SPL's when at the Jump SPL (or SSPL). OS and Radio ROMs should be flashed from either in Windows Or By Manually Entering the Bootloaders. More info on SPL's is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions?

Ok. I think you mean that the SPL is a component on the device? What is the difference between HardSPL and JumpSPL?
-Have a look at flashing from SD Card to avoid communication problems, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
-The most clear instructions can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Hope this helps.

If you are already using that phone with T-Mo, then security unlock, hard spl and flash away! The best thing to do here is read read read! And dont be suprised if they move your thread! You can PM me though if you have any more questions! I will help you if I can!
sorry, just so that i dont turn my phone into a brick but what you are saying is that i can just flash my rom without any other steps.
thanks for the quick response.

As far as what you mean by " lose my lock" I am not sure, but, you will need to CID unlock and hard-spl for sure! Do you have the AT&T Windows Mobile 6 or 6.1? I canot stress how important it is to read everything you can and be as informed as possible before you flash! I dont want to sound like I dont want to help (thats why we are here) But If you are already SIM unlocked it would still be wise to follow all the steps just to make sure you are covering all your bases, after all we do love our phones alot (often brought up by my sometimes jealous girlfriend! LOL! Read and use this...

No SPL is the bootloader on your phone when you hard SPL it keeps you from bricking your phone and allows you to flash non oem ROMs! If you Follow and read the links I just posted for you, you will be fine! I also use T-Mobile on a Tilt and I followed the steps and read alot and everything worked out perfect! I had to do the whitescreen fix, so it does work! I hope that helps!
P.S. Follow the instructions step by step, they are very important! Time consuming but worth it!
thank you very much
Please re-read the Newbies threads if you need an explanation as to what HardSPL is and how to install it and then flash a ROM. If you merely SIM unlocked to get on to T-Mobile, you will still need to CID unlock, so as a precaution you should do EVERYTHING in the newbies guide. Also, instead of just asking what HardSPL is, try following the links provided.
The community tends to be much more helpful when you have done your research and taken initative before asking for a direct hand out. This thread is better than average, but I thought I'd give you the heads up before flames come in from others.

Also note, the steps saying to remove your SIM and SD cards are very important.

thank u flashed it already.......sorry for the simple question re: hard spl.
HardSPL
Follow the tutorials. Get Hard SPL. Don't cut corners, you may brick your phone. Hard SPL will allow you to flash basically worry free.
It's great that your phone is unlocked, but that doesn't mean you can't brick it. I'd try to explain in greater detail, but the sticky posts at the top of this forum should be much better at it than I am.
Please post your questions in one of the threads already created. No need to create a new thread for random new questions.
