Where is Cingular's download for their new ROM?

I have an 8525 and I"m not able to find their download for the new rom. my phone is still all locked up, so I want to use theirs, at least for the time being. Anyone have that link?

Well of course as everyone here will tell you Wiki has all the info you want so read read read read..
Oh and I wuold of course unlock and SuperCID before doing anything..

The official Cingular rom has not been released yet to answer your question directly.
d

Thanks, Dwella...
MrDSL, I understand that I should read the wiki, and I did. But after reading 15 or so posts, it gets very garbled in my mind. And since I never saw anything that said "Cingular has not released it yet", I was a bit unclear as to its status even after reading the wiki.
But thanks anyway.

If you just want the offical Cingular release then look

How to unlock a rooted/custom firmware.

I have by quirky ways rooted a brand new unlocked G1, installed hardSPL, the recovery.img from the big unlock thread, and JF 1.51 (adp version).
But for some reason my phone is still simlocked to t-mobile, and I can't undestand why. It asks for "SIM network unlock PIN". In theDudes ROM I couldn't even get past this screen, in JF I can dismiss it. But still not use my norwegian SIM card. Wy? I can't think where this SIM lock is placed, and couldn't imagine it would still be there after installing ADP firmware... Is this something built in the GSM-hardwares firmware?

rooting your phone and sim unlocking it are 2 different things. You need to talk to T-mobile about an unlock code (it's free)

Argh, I really thought custom ROM would take care of it. With full root access to the system, is there no way to fix this? Should be. 8P
Can i send T-mobile a mail with IMEI and ask for unlock code? I have my doubts... Bought it from ebay, so I have no receipt or anything.

I doubt T-mobile would do it being that it was bought from ebay (but I can't be sure) There might be someone here that may know how to get it unlocked for you that or jsut try searching for unlocking g1 (might come up with something)

Please post in the General for this has nbearing on development of the G1
Thanks
moved to general

Sorry, was lurking around in development, didn't consider posting it elsewhere.
cidica: google only reveals payment options, not so interested in that. Google also results in several sites and guides, claiming rooting and flashing custom ROMs will allow use of any simcard. But alas, apparently not. Still wondering if it is something I have done wrong. Why shouldn't a custom ROM solve this problem?

[Q] 2.1 Update

Sorry to ask this question, It's a simple one but all the threads seem to go into too much info. I've hunted through numerous threads, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm a Win 6.5 kind of person and Know nothing whatsoever about Android (Until my next upgrade (Sensation Hopefully))
In 2010 I bought my daughter a T-mobile UK Hero, unlocked it and is now running with an O2 UK sim.
She has never recieved an over the air update to 2.1, is this because it should come from T-mo and she now has O2 Apn settings??? On 1.5, I can't even find "Check for Updates" in the menu.
Is there an easy way and a step by step guide to this?
I'd like to use a stock rom, as I'll have her and everyone else to answer to if anything goes wrong.
Is there a thread or glossary that explains upgrading procedures and words like rooting etc. as all this seems a little different to Win Mo.
Thanks

if you never want to root your device, just flash an RUU to the device.
you should find the correct one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
I expect only a T-mobile one will run. I am not certain if this will remove your sim unlock.

Thanks, I'll give that thread a go, and I hadn't thought about the simlock issue. I did an over the air update on my girlfriends desire that I unlocked from O2, and didn't have a simlock issue, or is this totally different to an RUU flash?
Sorry it went in the wrong section. I spend most of my time on the Leo forum where there's no Q&A Section.
Thanks again

Does anyone know for sure if this will re-lock the phone?
If it does, can the phone be unlocked using the same code as used last time?

I seem to recall reading that flashing a rom doesnt affect the sim lock. Dont know about an RUU though

Also the thread you put this in is the wrong one. You should put this in the questions and answers section.

Need Guide to unlock and flash.

Hi There!
Just got that phone and already posted a few questions in that thread, but i think it needs its own thread because this phone is old.
i read about RUU here but i dont know how to get it and use it and what data i need to find a match and where to get it.
i never used a HTC and only flashed old pixel tablets, so i never needed to unlock a bootloader
so i need a (quick) guide for whole flashing progress for a htc noob (ME ). maybe there are already some that i didnt find.
thanks in advance!

This video covers unlocking bootloader.

thanks! after downloadinng htc usb drivers it worked. now trying to flash smth
