Just came from the Cingular store. Got an exchange for the messed up on I already had.......... Can anyone tell me how to CID unlock and SIM unlock my phone...
It must be a new one becuase it reads as follows:
ROM version: 2.25.11.1 WWE
ROM date: 5/11/06
RAdio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version 4.1.13.12
ExtRom version: 2.25.11.102
will the normal unlock that is in the custom roms work for my phone???
"try it"
try what
tray what
i got it sim unlocked but how do i do the CID unlock
No - you can only SIM unlock, you can't CID unlock using the free programs available here. (It's possible you can CID unlock from a third-party website that charges for it...I think it's http://www.imei-check.co.uk)
I flashed my 8125 to 2.25 before realizing I needed to CID unlock it first. Fortunately most of my tweaks don't require custom ROMs. I'm sure eventually they will get Lokiwiz to work with the newer ROMs as well.
Uh-oh!! :|
I'm getting an 8125 at the end of this week.......so, if it is has the new ROM on it, then I can't put one of Summiters ROM's on it??
I sure hope not.....
I have an 8125. I lokiwiz unlocked it in software thinking that I needed to unlock it to upgrade from the original to 2.17.
Then I recently upgraded to 2.25 using the official Cingular ROM upgrade download. I am using the phone fine, except that I do not have push email present on it.
How did I upgrade without SIM or CID unlocking it? Why does it say in this thread that I would need to unlock the phone to change the ROM?
Update
This is what I see when I turn the phone on:
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
Does this make a differnece. When I swapped out my old one in the store they gave me this one and the guy at Cinglar told me it was a brand new one. I saw him get it out the store and on the box the manufacture date was this month June 2006... I have anohter 8125 that I purchased in April and I notice that the flash chips are differnt. How can I load Summiter's new ROM onto this new 8125 has anyone had any luck. I used Lockwiz from this site and it did do the SIM unlock but I can't tell if it did the CID unlock. Can this unit be CID unlocked. I don't want to fry my phone.
interesting that i just got one overnighted to me with the v1.8, i can only speak from my experience so take it for what it's worth, i had the original, i upgraded to the 2.25, and then i was thinking oops i should have cid/sim unlocked my phone, so then what did i do? i used the ship rom download on this site to reset the phone to v1.8 it changed everything back, then i simply ran the lokiwiz02b i believe it was and cid and sim unlocked the phone, and to test i ran an imate kjam ROM just to make sure i actually did it and it worked, sure enough kjam splash screen and poof i was good to go, and then i just updated to summiters rom and voila there you go.
i would expect you could do the same. just use the cingular ship rom v1.8 to go back and then do what i did, i couldnt imagine different results since i just did this last week.
I don't think you can downgrade a phone with the new flash chip (G4 - Rom numbers ending in .0001) because the 1.x Roms don't have IPL/SPL for G4 Chips.
upgrade
Hey if that is the case how will they do this. When they release a new rom won't it be available on Cingualr;s site. So there has to be some way to do it. Cingular wouldn't want to confuse the customers. In any event should I just return the phone and hope I get lucky to get one without the new flash chip. Like I said before the phone is SIM unlcoked I am trying ott to get it CID unlocked so that I can use summiter's latest rom
www.imei-check.uk.co claims they can CID unlock it for you.
The trick to changing the Rom would be to not flash the booloader, Summiter has a new multi-installer thingy that will allow you to flash everything except the Bootloader (but you will need to dump the $38.00 for CID unlock).
Or you could report speradic touchscreen problems and do a warranty replacement by calling customer service. See if they send you a G3 phone (which they probably will).

koolhand79, I just unlocked my cingular 8125 with the following setting without any problem:
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
Make sure you use lokiwiz03a.zip and follow the instruction precisely. Good luck!

Cingular ROM update following SIM unlock
I have already SIM unlocked my 8125, If I update to the latest cingular ROM will the SIM remain unlocked ? or will I have to re-unlock it ??
Quick question for all you pros out there. I just purchased the att version of the siemens sx56. Will receive in mail shortly. I want to upgrade to wm2003. As this is the 900/1900 verision, is it ok to use the qtek Rom 4.02.04. From what I understand the qtek 1010 is a 900/1800. Will this cause any problems?
Also is the t-mobile rom 4.01.16 any better than qtek rom?
Selecting any ROM causes no difference to the radiostack of the device. So you could take any ROM you want.
Selecting the ROM depends a little bit on the way you want to use the device.
The T-Mobile ROMs often have the Problem of reflashing the device. My personal
favorite is the 4.01.12
Stefan
Thanks for the quick reply. I will be using the internet a lot primarily through gprs and just want a stable Rom that wont hang or give me crazy problems.
What exactly about the 4.01.12 rom do you like over the others available?
I like the wmodem application of the ROM, also reflashing is easy possible.
And it´s one of the ROM´s that was nearly official announces by o2...
Stefan
I just recently got my 8125 and i use the button rom and ipl is 1.01 & spl 1.01
and also it is sim and cid unlocked
I was wondering if you had to install t-mobiles 2.26 rom or can i just install any other wm6 custome rom.
or install t-mobiles rom then any wm6 cooked rom?
and can anyone here give me some instructions
ive been thinking the same ive got a g4 device and dont know if i should flash 2 this rom before i step up 2 wm6 or if i can do it direct from the a2uk rom from the uk 02
any pointers guys would b great.
Yes, you need to upgrade to the t-mobile 2.26 rom (or any other updated ROM of 2.xx or higher). Most, if not all, of the WM6 ROMs on here do not include an IPL/SPL upgrade and WM6 will not work without and IPL/SPL of at least 2.xx.
Hello! I want to upgrade my Qtek 9100 with the latest ROM version. I have the official Qtek ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE, IPL/SPL 2.17, Radio 02.07.10 and AKU 2.0. Where can I find the latest official Qtek ROM?
How does the IPL/SPL influence 9100's performance or stability? I have found IPL/SPL version 3.08. Can I install IPL/SPL 3.08 separately from ROM version? Can I damage the Qtek?
And the most important thing: I want the latest official AKU installed on my Qtek. Can it be installed separately from ROM? Where can I find it? If it can't be installed separately, please help me to find the latest official Qtek 9100 ROM packed with the latest official AKU version.
One more question: Is the radio version a good one? Is there a better version? Can this be installed separately?
I think that is best for PDA that AKU, IPL/SPL and radio to be installed with ROM, not separately. Is that true?
Thank you very much!
Look at you men!!!
are you insane?
Jajajaj read men!
but as I am very good person I will tell you where you need to read ok?
First!!!!
Where can I find the latest official Qtek ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i think you were found the 3.08 is good but is not recomended yet.... ok.
Second!!!!
How does the IPL/SPL influence 9100's performance or stability?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It don't influence in nothing my men! nothing... why... because AKU (Actualization Kit Update) was just for wm5 ok? its like you wanna see if XP SP3 works well with your new Windows Vista Ultimate edition...
But you need to read the tutorial first to know how to downgrade first to1.01 then unlock, then upgrade to 2.XX not 3.08 ok?, then to a new WM6.1 rom ok...
Third!!!!
I have found IPL/SPL version 3.08. Can I install IPL/SPL 3.08 separately from ROM version?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok you found the 3.08... yes you can but is more important ask... what chipset do you have? G3 or G4? please provide us with this info first... i saw you have 2.12. bal bla bla so is a G3 but confirm cause some people said I have IPL SPL 2.17 and NOT they have 2.17.0001 (G4) and they has a bricked phone... so the only way to upgrade or change the IPL or SPL is flashing an Original ROM maded by your carrier and for your chipset ok? well... so the answer for this question is NO men!
Fourth!!!!
Can I damage the Qtek?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes the IPL and SPL changing system is the problem for all thats why people bricks their phones so please dont use it cause it wont lets you perform speed or something ok? AKU's was History Now! the world of WinMobile rules the 6.1 with .Net compact 3.5
Fifth!!!!
Can it be installed separately from ROM? Where can I find it? If it can't be installed separately, please help me to find the latest official Qtek 9100 ROM packed with the latest official AKU version.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No is not the most impoprtant question is the same but all in one hahahaha
No you cant upgrade separately... aku is history so dont try to upgrade stay in Aku 2.XX after your unlock process ofcourse and read a lot men you need to read a lot!
Oh sorry i forget something... you have the last the 3.08 AKU 3 (3.08)
The AKU2 comes with A2DP stereo sound bluetooth via Headsets
The AKU3 comes with A2DP and Direct Push tecnologies... so... they never works in WM6 or 6.1 why? cause it already have it by default....
Hope it answers all your question and please men I cant tell you where to go if goes to G3 tutorial for unlock or G4 hardSPL cause you dont have read to fill your signature with your info so...
Be cool men and Good luck we are here to support!!!!
No, I haven't found 3.08 ROM. It's only IPL/SPL 3.08. I have found T-Mobile 2.26 and I don't know if it's good or not. Does T-Mobile ROM differs from Qtek ROM? Thanks!
So...
So... what do you mean with this...
I have found IPL/SPL version 3.08. Can I install IPL/SPL 3.08 separately from ROM version?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The IPL and SPL cant be found separately men!
where is the one you found post the link please...
I have found T-Mobile 2.26 and I don't know if it's good or not. Does T-Mobile ROM differs from Qtek ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Men!!!
With the Original ROM T-mobile 2.26 you will have the 2.26 IPL and SPL...
And with the Original ROM T-mobile 3.08 you will have the 3.08 IPL and SPL...
This components arent separately.... Never!
It diffiers from Qtek in many things like... some apps... Splash screens.... Configurations... and many little things.
Here all recomends to Use the T-mobile Rom 2.26 to Upgrade after the unlock process cause is the best Original BASE rom ( is the same but is highly recomended that after unlocks the CID and SIM use the IPL and SPL 2.26)
I have found the 3.08 IPL/SPL in the unlocking thread...I'l give you the link latter because I am in a hurry.
If I want to flash the T-mobile 2.26 over Qtek's 2.17, I have to go back to 1.05 ROM and CID unlock, or I have to install the 2.26 over 2.17?
How about with battery life in T-Mobile 2.26 when using wireless and bluetooth? When using only GSM, the battery drains fast?
Thank you very much!
I think here...
Here is your link... so
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311027
Whatever...
You are on qteks original 2.17 is it truth?
So... first of all downgrade to 1.05 (you dont need to upgrade to SPL 2.26)and do the unlocking process, if everything is ok...
second... upgrade to 2.26... then your favorite Coocked Rom by whoever you want ok?
third... everytime you want to upgrade or change your rom is highly recomended to flash first an Original ROM qtek 2.17... Tmobile 2.26 or 3.08 then your new Rom coocked ok?
You can change for every Original to Custom and viceversa now, and you dont need to downgrade again to 1.XX again cause its unlocked forever.
Hope it respeonds your doubts... The issue on many ROMs for this kind of things dont be the same on Original ROMS (I didn see issues on originals, well maybe the speed and performance), and many chefs recomends Three steps to upgrade if you experiments this batt drain issue:
1.-Before the NEW rom, Downgrade to any original
2.-Be sure your Batt is FULL I mean (100%)
3.-Let your device synchronize fully when it starts after an upgrade ( I mean dont unplug at the end of upgrade procedure)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
God damn ****!!!!!
Men wait a minute you are G4!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You dont need to do this unlocking proces ok?
it will be brick your device
Your device is G4!!!!!!!!!!
You need to go to G4 forum and perform the HardSPL Patch ask there....
Well my prays was listening hahahahaha
Because you write your info on your signature we avoid to brick your device
forget all this ****n thread and start again asking on G4 forum please god damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a G3 device and I have CID unlocked my phone before, when I upgraded from Button 1.5.4.2 to Qtek 2.17 (I have followed the steps in the upgrading "manual" from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435). So, I think I don't need to go back to 1.05, unlock and then install 2.26. All I have to do is simply to upgrade T-Mobile 2.26 over Qtek 2.17 with RUU utility.
Now, I don't know how T-mobile 2.26 will influence my phone's settings regarding that I live in Romania and I am a Cosmote mobile network user, not T-Mobile. I have seen on a web site that you can not connect to Wi-Fi hot-spot if the hot-spot isn't from T-Mobile. Is T-Mobile ROM 2.26 restricting the phone's settings and the choice to freely connect to wireless hotspot or Cosmote GPRS and MMS, Orange EDGE and MMS. Can I add new SMS, MMS or GPRS/EDGE settings? Or they force you to use their settings and data connections?
Thank you very much!
So xtrange
The IPL and SPL you have on your signature are for a G4.
No it is recognized by the SIM Card... i mean the sms and cellphone conections but mms gprs and other things yes... you need the configurations separately...
So T-Mobile ROM will work OK with Cosmote network... But does T-Mobile ROM restricts any of the device's function? Can I use all it's function freely (wi-fi, bluetooth, irda -I'm asking you this because I have played with an HTC Prophet from T-Mobile that wasn't wi-fi enabled)? Can I install all kind of programs? Do you know anything about battery life?
In a previous post, you said that after CID Unlock it is recomended to use IPL/SPL 2.26. Can you, please, tell me why?
About G3/G4 chip: when I have verified chip version on SYSTEM-DEVICE INFO it showed M-System G3. Now It only show M-System without the G3. Don't know why...
Thank you very much for your help!

IPL/SPL: 2.17.0000
These are G3 Bootloaders,if it was 2.17.0001,then it wud have been a G4,therefore,your device is a G3 phone.nothing to worry about.
Now,you can flash any official roms to it as all the officiall roms like Qtek,t-mobile Cingular or O2 are basically the same roms provided by the Microsoft,they have the same Base Roms,but just all the vendors add up their own stuff to it.Like Splash screens,programs/applications and network/gprs settings.Apart from these ,there is no major difference in any Official rom from all the vendors.
Yes! Bootloaders(IPL/SPL)/Radio Roms can be flashed separately or within by a Rom flash.
Downgrading to IPL/SPL 1.xx is only needed if you want to CID unlock the phone for upgrading to any wm6 or wm6.1 rom,as no official wm6 rom is provided by any vendor.So its only possible to upgrade to wm6 or 6.1 latest rom through custom build roms and for that its required to get the phone CID unlocked
After getting the phone CID unlocked,its prefered to upgrade to T-mobile 2.26 coz its a proven stable base rom,but you can also upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx,required for upgrading to wm6 by flashing any other official Aku (Adaptation Kit Update) 2.xx rom.
Upgrading to IPL/SPL 3.08 will just give you a slightly better boot up timings,which is hardly noticeable and nothing else,so if you are at 2.xx,its more preferred.IPL/SPL 3.08 sometimes creates problems afterwards if you have to downgrade.
Its also not necessary to reflash back to official ro each time before flashing a new rom,but only recommended,to clear the Extended_Rom corruption and have a clean base,I have never reflashed any official rom before flashing any new rom,but then thats me!
Thanks men!!!
Im getting worried but... why does the Bootloader Shows the four zeros... on my device it never shows the zeros.
In 2.17.0000
I think he use the WST isnt it? not seing the bootloaders...
I have finally installed T-Mobile 3.08. It has interesting features, but I don't like the dialing pad and that when I start Internet Explorer, the phone asks if I want to connect to T-Mobile GPRS. I'm 60% with the Qtek 2.27 and 40% with T-Mobile 3.08. I'll wait to see the battery life compared with Qtek ROM and the power consumption when using wireless. I'll make a decision in weekend.
Oh, forgot to ask about WM6. Will the phone be faster or slower? What are the main differences from WM5? Is there an official WM6 ROM?
Thank you very much!
It seems that qtek's wi-fi is connecting continously, without establishing a connection. It show "connecting" all the time.
Today I have installed Qtek 2.17 ROM. I like it more than T-Mobile 3.08.
