unlock code/wm6 for 8125

i am getting an 8125 next week from somebody who was a cingular customer. he got the factory unlock code from a cingular rep (but he cant unlock it cuz he doesnt have a different carriers sim card). is there any difference if i use that to unlock it or if i use the lokiwiz program i keep reading about??
also, as you can probly tell im new to pda's. to load the window mobile 6 would i have to unlock the CID (which im not even sure what it is)? what are the benefits for using wm6 and is it fully functional on the 8125 (ive read a few posts from ppl that say they have problems). i also saw a thread for making an i-phone skin...is it possible to have both wm6 and this iphone skin? also, can anyone explian what this aku2 rom is?
sorry to make this post, but there are so many threads about the stuff i am inquiring about and hundreds of pages and its just too long to go thru. if anybody can help me out that would be appreciated...thanks a bunch!!!

Other than to say you need to read some of the sticky's in the WM6 forum, as well as the Wiki's - here's a few hints:
If you have a G3 - get it CID unlocked. If it's a G4, you can leave it locked and still flash WM6 just fine - if you use shelltool.
WM6 is mostly cool factor, with a few new features. How many people can say they're running WM6? Bleeding edge, baby, but it ain't without some pain.
iPhone skin - yes, and good luck. I tried it, and it was a slow pig - it looked alot like the iPhone, but not worth the bling. Try driving your car with a painted tarp on it. yeah, right. Can barely open the doors.
As for aku2, no idea. Hit search and check it out.
You got lots of reading ahead of you. I spent 10 hours reading before my first attempt at flashing - and I'm a fast reader.

yea im doing a lotta reading....where is the link to the wm6? i cant seem to find it!

check my sig for all unlocking problems...once you do that worry about WM6..Just check out a section and read up on the roms

Don't learn by flashing. Learn by reading. $400 is a lot of jack to waste trying to learn by experience.

You can't use it with the cingular sim card beause you don't need it!
You have to borrow a sim card other than your carrier's sim card to apply the code. Once applied, the sim portion of your cell is unlocked for life if you have the right code.
Lockwiz will CID unlock your phone as well. Once successfull with this portion, you can install any ROM or Custom ROM....designed for your TYPE of device.
You are currently running an AKU2 ROM.
Based on your line of questioning, you have a WHOLE lot of reading to do. You sound like you're on your way to be stuck in bootloader mode.
Do your reading 1st, collect all your tools and all you need can be found by you doing the research in the threads. All the answers to your questions are in the WIKI....it's your friend.
This was a freebee....if you're not willing to go thru the hundreds of threads, as you stated to get the answer....use the search tool or stay with your factory ROM.
Remember: This is a Developer's Forum, not a USER's Forum
This thread you created was a waste!

no pain ... no gain....

HELP a newbie! (will donate!) STUCK ON THREE COLOUR SCREEN!

Hello!
Will very much appreciate some help with my kaiser!
I've downloaded a program from ebay to unlock the phone, the first program was the flash Hard-SPL program. This guy has included all the flashing programs (radio etc.) onto one program to make it easier, but before you run hardSPL a message comes up saying:
"Your device will now be flashed, follow the instructions, when the loading bar appears on the PC, pay attention to your device as soon as you see the three colour screen you must REPLUG usb, do so immediately then WAIT PATIENTLY for it to flash"
Now i took "replug" to mean unplug then plug in again... which is odd because the hardSPL program doesnt ask you too. SO as soon as i saw the hardSPL loading bar at 0% i unplugged and replugged the USB. Then my heart sank as a communication error inevitably came up and i had to exit the program.
Now my phone is stuck on the three colour screen (with white bit at the bottom) with the current text displayed on the top left:
KAIS130
SPL-1.93.Jump
CPLD-8
then obviously "USB" at the bottom.
I've tried resetting the phone but the button wont work, i dont want to take the battery out incase i'll completely brick it!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!! ($30 donation for the most helpful reply! - i know its not alot but better than nowt!)

A simple search for hardspl or the likes will result in the results you're looking for. You may also want to read the kaiser sticky (the very first post) as it may become helpful.

try downloading the HardSPL from this site and running the file as per the instructions. May still be able to recover. Good luck m8!
I had this problem way back when I got my Kaiser. I simply reflashed HardSPL and then flashed Duttys ROm. All fixed after that

money is not everything...

downnload the HardSPL package from my signature. unplug and replug your usb cable from you computer. then run the hardspl with the attatchede exe from the download.
if need be you can reach me via msn messeger [email protected]

OK i've been good and searched the forums, and found its OK to take battery out and put back in... it started no probs *phew*, although now i'm very scared to flash!!!! will post my progress...

As long as you HardSPL first there is absolutely NO risk. Been tested to death, works a treat. Good luck m8!
Follow instructions in this post, should keep you ok. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334678
***changed the link, put the wrong one in, sorry!!! ***

we here at xda don't do stuff for money .. donations r appreciated. the most important aspect of the site is to help u learn and understand the workings of ur device. since u r new to rom flashing/device upgrading i highly recommen and suggest it as a requirement to read the first sticky under the kaiser rom devvelopment forum.
as far as hardspl goes im sorry if u paid one ebay to some scammer as full hardspl including instructions on how to use it r available free of charge here on xda thanks to olipro,pof, and jocky and others.
if u still r stuck than i suggest u ask alltheway for help

Hmmm... tried flashing hardSPL and it turns out it makes no difference i took the cable out the program doesnt work! Comes up with a connection error anyways!
Is it because im on vista?
To be honest i have no idea what hardSPL actually is (sorry) im just tryin to get the simlock off!
Is there a hardSPL tutorial thread somewhere?
(sorry for being king of the noobs!)

thats what happens when you purchase stolen software on eBay. That sim unlocker was created by a user here and some dueche bag is selling it on eBay you should ask for your money back and make threats to report him.

well put good sir

okey doke! will do that.
Am still having trouble. I saw on the sticky page a video tutorial for unlocking - what was the program he was using? Its different to the one i'm using! I've also tried one which runs off the phone which still doesnt work.
I think it may have something to do with the fact when i plug in the phone you can hear the windows chime thingy TWICE, then its connected...
When i run the flash program and unplug then replug the usb cable i can only hear the chime ONCE, is this something to do with vista????

OK it just decided to work, i did the same thing as before except this time it was ok.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES!
Oh and i found out that the program the guy was selling was indeed free and was indeed from this website: i noticed at the bottom of the program was this message:
==Kaiser Debug Output==
==Made by Olipro - 2008. www.xda-developers.com==
-Version 2.0-
SPL Flashed!
It also said this is FREE software!!

On Vista - fully close MS mobile device center.
Put the phone in bootloader mode and connect to the usb port.
Run the unlocker (don't unplug usb)

Be sure you flash to a wm6.1 first before unlock your sim. Olipro's sim unlocker works for wm6.1 only as I remember.
Good luck!

i thought it was 6.0 ...maybe for a different unlock tool? how many are there on here for the Kaiser?

AXIM x50 DOESN'T LOAD BOOTLOAD SCREEN

Hey there guys
I have posted this exact same post on aximsite, but I figured that I might as well post here too since maybe more people would read it.. thank you very much!
I'm quite desperate right now. My Axim x50 is tottally dead. Let me explain: I have it for about 2 years now, and when I bought it, it came originelly with wm2k3, and about 3 months later, Dell shipped a update CD with WM5 (it had just come out) and so I made the update succesfully, and had this WM5 vrs. A01 installed till this week.
Then, this past weekend I decided to update it, but I ended up bricking it by trying to force install WM6 MagLite's version for X50v (mine is x50[mid]). Well, as we all know, that would do the job. I was just so exited to do the update I didn't bother to read the threads.
Well, now my axim is tottally dead, I decided to read all posts and threads from all sorts of forums on the web, specially AximSite and xda-developers, and so I no longer consider myself a total noob, since I have read so much.
However, none of the intructions seem to do the job, because my Axim won't load the SD bootload screen at all! And I am doing it correctly, pressing wireless+power+reset. I have done that before and it worked. I think somehow the unsuccesful instalation of wm6 must have corrupted something and is now impeding the device from eving bootloading...!
The only thing it does is turning the power led red when it's connecet to the battery charger, then it becomes green when it is full (as usual). Won't turn on though. If I try to turn it on, to reset, load that test (rec+power+reset), or load bootload, nothing works. The only time something happens is when its on the PC USB craddle:Then when I try to bootload, the power light flashes in red pretty fast, then goes off again and that's all.
Yesterday, it all of a sudden showed a screen saying I had a problem on the memory, and invited me to press I think Contacts in order to solve it by recalling the standard configuration, but after I did so, it died again.
I'm completely desperate cuz I really liked it, it was part of my life already after so many years, and plus in my country (that would be Brazil) such eletronic devices and simply unafordable (I bought mine when I was an exchange student in US on 06), so if I actually screwed it up tottaly, I'm pretty much gonna be aximless forevermore.
I'm sorry for the gigantic post. I made an effort to post all information I could. I'm desperate and willing to follow any procedure for bringing my PDA back to life. I have the USB craddle if that helps, FAT32 SD, PC card reader, etc. If you guys could give me any help I would fully aprecciate..
And I fully endorse the words from the other members thanking you guys that are always trying to bring up something new for PDA lovers across the world, specially for us Axim users, forgotten now by Dell aparently..
Sorry for my possibly bad English! Thank you very much in advance.. I'm available for further explanations about my situation, if any of you is willing to help..
Cheers from Brazil!! Best regards to u all!

Oh, and I'm new here, so I hope I have posted this on the appropriate place. If not, I'm sorry, I guess I can move it then.. Thanks again

And I meant to say that if any of you actually read this and understands that there is pretty much nothing I can do, then I would appreciate if you tell me so, so that then i can simply get over it.. thanks

have you tried to run the ruu you were talking about that they shipped you on a cd for wm5?

Yes I have indeed, however it requests that the Axim is connected to PC via ActiveSync (it was designed to intall wm5 especificly on wm2k3 running devices) and that is not possible, since the Axim is bricked and won't turn on at all.. If only there was some other way to acces it trough the PC or something..
But thanks for the atention josefcrist! Please do share any other ideia that might come up

need to upgrade my cingular 8125

I have tried and tried so many times to upgrade with things from this site, i have had no luck what so ever, i have not given up i love a challenge. I go to get the rom and i use xp doesnt seem to like vista to much, it finds the phone and then i hit next and then it goes to flash the phone and it looses the connection or something and it says not able to find phone blah blah, i would love to have 6.1 or 6.5 or i hear 6.5 is amazing, is there anyone here that can give me the exact link and or file, and directions on how to flash 6.1 or 6.5 i am about to loose my mind and would love some help, my motorola q died of bad death 5 feet into a pool, and i miss my windows so if you can help me and not confuse me contact me at [email protected] it would be much helpful and make me very happy.

EVERYBODY NEW: Please read the stickies. Your answers are there. Really. Read them. You'll see! Look especially hard at the How to flash a new ROM to your wizard sticky. Read a LOT before you ever start flashing, or you'll have an expensive brick instead of a cool phone. Don't be the guy who screams "PLEASE HELP" because he flashed first, and read second.

Use XP, use Activesync 4.5. Do NOT use Vista under any circumstances.
Make DAMN sure you've unlocked your phone's CID. There are different procedures for different models of Wizard. Do the wrong one, you will destroy your phone.
Use Mun's RUU if the cook's RUU doesn't work with your phone.
Only the Oldest WM6 ROMs will include IPL/SPL, which may kill your phone if it's a G4. Newer ROMs are almost always safe. Cook will tell you in the ROM's description.
Your Wizard is not any more waterproof than your Q was. Keep it away from the pool.
Read, search, learn.

Can't unlock the SPL??

Hello All,
I do a lot of reading and follow along pretty good so far. I have done the unlock (I think I did) I was able to use other carrier's chip while travel over sea. So I figure that I have unlocked my Treo 750. I was also do the up grade to WM6.1 without any problems.. But now I keep reading the SPL and the IPL posts. So I took a look at my Treo 750, and it show IPL 0.20 and the SPL 0.24.0000. I try everything that was offered in the forum to unlock and reset and all the tricks and tips. Nothing works. The best I got was using the Cheeunlock and it only goes to 7% on my Treo and reset really quick. I seem to remember upgrade once to the WM6.5 using one of the forum members suggestion, but for the life of me I can't do it any more. I went back to the WM6.1 in matter of facts using the suggested method by a forum member. That is where I am at now. The question that I have is that, if I was able to upgrade to WM6.1 and using other carrier's chip. Am I unlock? Or am I just thinking that I am? , also why can I change the SPL and the IPL value? Thanks in advance for all the help, and sorry for such a long post.

O.K. so many views but no reply, but it is all in the name of testing. I guess after I have post this question and recevied no reply, I did some more reading and going throught he instructions over and over again and again, can never pass the #11 step to see the blue screen for upgrade. But I finally did it. The thing I did was to follow the upgrade and unbranded post here till the #11 step and the only change that I made was to included the *.nbh file (which ever one you want to put in.) in the tempche folder in your computer, and it took the upgrade and unlock the phone, change the hard spl and all that good stuff just like the instruction said. I guess you can called that #11a in the instructions. After I did all that I can do the upgrade to the WM6.5 without any problems, and revert back to the WM6.1 without a hitch. So if you guys are having problems doing the unbranded or upgrade try to put the *.nbh file in the tempche, instead of in your sd card. Good luck I am waiting now for the new 23XXXX build WM 6.5 to come out so I can play with the phone some more.
