8125 ROM update Problems

I have searched this forum but to no avail.
I have a Cingular 8125 running the 2.25 IPL/SPL it is SIM & CID unlocked.
I am able to flash the TMOBILE Radio rom no problem, BUT everytime I try to flash crossbow reloaded 1.5 and/or Faria's CROSSBOW it hangs at 99% and then faults out with an error code of 302 communication error.
My device then gets pseudo bricked and I have to reflash back with the Cingular rom.
Any ideas or tips?

Try starting the flash in bootloader screen. Turn device off then hold camera button. then push power button. Keep holding camera button till you see the rainbow screen

The usual suggestions - perform a hard reset, remove the SD card, make sure all other apps are shut down, etc, etc, etc.

Also, starting out with a good, strong 2.26 IPL/SPL ROM might help. It's been suggested many, many times to flash to the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM as a solid base before upgrading to WM6.

I have had the miniSD card out, I have shutdown all applications. I will try it from directly in the bootloader screen. As far as the 2.26 ROM I could not get it on my device, gave me an error as wrong Vendor ID.

My suspicion is that you are not truely CID unlocked. May want to retrace those steps.
Good luck!

8125 ROM Upgrade
Thanks to all for the help.
It turns out that I was most likely not truly CID unlocked. Redid it based on the post in this forums and VOILA. Worked like a charm.
Thanks to all on this forum for all the hard work and helpful advice.

Vox Update SPL (USPL) 1.16

Hi guys,
I've just implemented a Vox USPL which allows you to flash any Vox ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any *official* ROM even if your phone's model and vendor ID doesn't match. It's confirmed that you can also flash cooked ROMs
This SPL is based on original Vox 1.16 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Vox after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.
The USPL runs in RAM and is *not* flashed to your device, so there is no risk there. Once it runs you can run any official Vox ROM update utility.
The USPL does *not* permanently CID unlock your phone, like the CID unlocker from imei-check or so.
After you flashed a ROM your phone is again CID locked. Each time you wonna flash a ROM with a different model and/or vendor ID (different from your phone) or a cooked ROM, you must run the USPL again and then flash the ROM.
It's beta and untested and the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
EDIT:
You can now also flash the USPL allowing you to flash any unsigned (cooked ROM or ROM module, e.g. radio or OS) or signed ROM with any model/vendor ID. The USPL substitutes your SPL until you perform a full ROM update. Consider it as an extra insurance in case something goes wrong with flashing cooked ROMs or any other ROM update !
Instructions:
1. Run the USPL (Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)
2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Vox-USPL-RUU.zip)
Have fun,
JockyW
The attachments:
SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip : application unlocker if u need it
mtty1.42.zip : terminal emulator (not neccessary if u only do ROM updates, but if you wonna play with the bootloader commands you need it)
Vox-USPL-RUU.zip: flash version of USPL (Note: you must first run USPL from "Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip" before you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Vox-USPL-RUU.zip !!!)
Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip : instructions included
Credits: in particular to pof. This USPL and also the one for Excalibur is based on his USPL for the Elf. See here

I think this is one of the most fantastic news of the century!!!
Finally some cooking can start on this little device.
Thanks again,
Ka.

noob question
what the difference between sim unlock and cid unlock?

This can be found in various threads around here, anyway.
SIM Lock - You can't use a SIM from a different provider than the one who sold you the phone.
CID-Lock - You can't flash your phone with a ROM which hasn't been cooked by your provider (or manufacturer for HTC unbranded phones).

jockyw2001 great but make one for htc oxygen pls.

Same here

anyone online right now wanna drop me a line about this... what do I do exactly with the ruu file. Do I place rom image in that folder while runnning update???

so i followed the instructions and executed the cid bypass(installed itsutils and haret). once i get to the end it says use mtty or flash with RUU. so I attempt to flash right after (am I supposed to flash while the screen is black) but its gives me a connections error. I figure its because the phone is off. So I turn it on and update with the RUU again but only make it to 3% before I get a invalid vendor id. Would anyone care to comment on how I can flash this vox to the dopod rom...

To the users who had the same problem as me I am currently flashing my phone and I managed to get past my problem by using the SDA Application unlocker on my vox. I always thought that HTC were already application unlocked. Was going crazy for a while but I guess I should've followed the instructions step-by-step regardless of what I thought.
Big up to jockyw2001(and of course pof for without him alot of us would still be using shipped rom) for this wicked tool.
Cheers

I only got this phone so I could upgrade it for a friend to stop the boot loop. It seems to have fixed that problem so I guess it's better than the other roms. On the other hand I can't stand smartphone's so my suggestion is to ditch your SP and switch to PPC . Also I read before hand that this ROM doesn't include Windows Live Messenger but it is included in the rom. Just thought I'd let u guys know.

input please
Just ran into another problem and would appreciate some input. I understand that USPL only works for one flash...but I wasn't aware that a hard reset counted as a flash. Regardless my device hung at the dopod boot screen after a hard reset. Is this normal after using USPL on a device, and if so does this occur with all devices??? I would hate to give a phone back and have to tell the person that they can't perform a hard reset...

If you flash a full ROM the SPL is overwritten with the one in the ROM (Dopod = 1.19). Nothing to do with USPL. Booting can take a long time after hard reset. Unplug battery and try again.

Thanks, I got it to work eventually...Good to know USPL doesn't effect hard resets, I guess you learn something new everyday.
If I had to take a guess before hand I'd figure a SP would boot faster than a PPC, but I realize now that I'd be wrong...
thanks to all for the help, I can finally return this Vox back to its owner
cheers

Hi
I flashed my E650 in French with the swissrom (present on FTP), all works !
an idea to change the logo operator to HTC original ?
thanks

thought I fixed the problem. seems as if after a day it just hangs at the dopod screen. It was working fine everytime I had it. As soon as I give it back it seems to hang. Guess ima just flash it back to the HTC rom, too much hassle for just $20.

why SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip can't unlock my Orange SPV E650?

after radio upgrade

hi everyone,
i've tried upgraded radio rom from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Radio_1_Upgrade
i used the latest one 2.69, after "successfull" upgrade i can't turn my prophet on, actually it switches on, but i can see only splash screen and after few secs it switching off and on itself...
splash shows:
IPL 1.00
SPL 1.00.0000
OS 2.15.13.27
there was also GSM but now isn't
i can switch it into boot loader mode but can't flash new radio rom - no connection, but can flash normal rom... i don't understand it.
no differences after hard reset
any advice welcome

you can try to upgrade your BB's ipl and spl to 2.20 and then flash a latest os rom like 19949 stable and fast,then maybe the problem will be gone... mine is the similar problem like you, on the 2nd screen ,it stopped for almost 10 mins, then it finally turn on...

You'll need a new ROM. Put it into bootloader, and flash a WM5 NVID ROM (see the wiki for those). From there, HardSPL and flash a WM6.1 ROM.

HardSPL doesn't seem to update SPL version

Hi I have a G4 Prophet and the IPL and SPL version number reads 2.10.0001.
I would like to flash it to use a WM6.1 ROM with the touchflo type functionality and new IE Mobile features (i.e. zooming).
I have read through all the guides about carrying this out and have even started having a go but am getting confused about HardSPL.
From what I read HardSPL CID Unlocks your phone so that you can install a diffeerent Carrier (e.g. Orange, Vodaphone) ROM ... or in fact a home 'cooked' ROM off of this site.
I have tried manually carrying out the HardSPL using both the Prophet Tools GUI and the command line batch file HardSPL however after the procedure finishes my IPL and SPL do not read differently as all posts indicate (i.e. they do not read 2.G4.4PDA) ... instead they remain as 2.10.0001.
I have seen the phone go to the tri-colour bootloader screen and even the progress bar go up correctly however when it reboots it says 2.10.0001. I'm assuming that I cannot go ahead and flash with a ROM (such as the Shadow TE one until the SPL reads 2.G4.4PDA).
Can anyone offere me some help with getting to this?
Many thanks.

I would recommend you use something like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547 It makes it a one stop upgrade... That uses "JumpSPL" rather than HardSPL which is the short term option.

Thanks for the help I tried the alternative lazy tool and it worked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2141436&postcount=188) now my Orange SPV M600 has the Shadow Touch edition rom on it with the shadow cube addon, so far works a treat.
I would still be interested to know why the SPL version number did not change using the prophet tools or HardSPL on its own.
Anyway many thanks again.

What is your devices IPL?
It may be because Soft/Jump SPL was not executed properly prior to HardSPL (this is automated through the HardSPL tools and Prophet Tools).

black screen after KaiserUnlocker without HardSpl

Hi
I've a quite big problem that occured form my stupidy.
I wanted to unlock the phon and get rid of simlock.
I've read the wiki and start playing with kaiser. I forgot to run the HardSpl and go just to KaiserUnlocker. First step was ok 100% reboot, second step - 100% rebot splashscreen 1, splashscreen 2 without sound and after that black screen.
AS is not turning green, screen is black, buttons doesn't work.
I've done HR and after that i fought it's ok there was a splashscreen with windows mobile, algin the screen, time etc. and after that the OS is automatically upgraded by some files from AT&T. After upgrade there is splash 1 with AT&T logo splash 2 with another AT&T logo and nothing more - black screen again.
Before my playing time I had WM 6.0 Prof from AT&T, R 1.27.12.11
Now when I'm entering the bootloader I've
on the top "Security Unlocked"
on red stripe KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
What can I do now?

Run the ATT updater from HERE it "SHOULD" Put you back to stock. Then run the hard SPL and try unlocker again. I have found that I needed to upgrade to 6.1 before the unlocker would work. Hope this helps

Great thx but how should I do that, kaiser is not conectg with PC througth AC.

Hold the camera button when you turn it on. That will take you into bootloader. I am not sure if this will help for sure but it is worth a shot

Oooo it's a ROM i connect via USB and run just the exe

Yes it is the att 6.1 update stock rom.

Or use SD card method. But you need to read WiKi for that...

Best will be to "update" to 6.0, flash HardSPL 1.0 from Olipof, flash older HTC ROM (by HTC, not ATT) repacked (with OS only, no radio or SPL) and then unlock, because newer AT&T 6.0 ROM doesn't work with the radio from SIM unlocker.
The same happened to my friend

Ok so which ROM do you suggest?
I've looked at Wiki at Kaiser_ROMs and there is planty of them
I can try every on of them but from recent 'trying' I have only problems now

I've tried the solution send by zelendel with WM 6.1 it's runing up but there was alsow a customization and I runs it works thanks a lot Now HARDSPL as first

Yeah that was all the AT&T crap. Let us know how things go.

Ok
Phone is unlocked but I've another problem after putting the sim card the phone runs fine for few seconds and then it stops, the vibrations is on all the time and camera isn't working at all and there is no sound (black screen).
Is it one more time OS?
I've instaled WM 6.1 AT&T

Ok now that you have a hard spl install What radio and spl do you have? The radio is your camera prob. I would pick a custom rom and flash it with the prefered set and see how that goes.

So, with the first rom - WM6.0 it showed 1.27.12.11 then I flashed device and it was 1.70.olinex, another flash the WM6.1 and it was 1.65.21.18 and now after hardspl it is showing again 1.70.olinex
It's from the splash1 with the R in front, am I correct ?

Hi
One question more I've a problem with signal I don't loos it but it's weak - one or two lines in the middle of city. I switched to HTC original OS WM6.1 radio is 1.65.16.25. Should I switch the radio ?? If yes which one will be the best ?
Regards

The right radio is such a subjective combination of variables, that no one call tell you which is the best for you. Just go to the Ultimate Radio thread and try a bunch of 6.1 compatible radios until you find on to stick with.
Start with the radio that is recommended for the rom that you are using and then try radios that are in other peoples signatures.
