I am really sorry about that.
I was searching everywhere and i coudnt find it so i desided to post a quaetion..and then couple hours later i finally found all the info about unlocking the phone...but i couldnt delete this msg...
Thank you though for your reply.
that seems like a waste to me since t-mobile has no HSDPA. might as well have got the wing

T-mobile offers HSDPA here and is starting to offer HSDPA in the UK soon

I had the same problem with the 8525 using the stock ATT ROM and MMS. The only way i could make it work was to use a cooked rom(which you will like better anyways IMO). Make sure if you flash ur phone to use HardSPL to keep from bricking ur phone.
Here is a link to a good howto for flashing: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
Also if your going to flash it then you will need the keyboard layout fix here
We've already got HSDPA, thankyouverymuch ;-)
What ROM are you running on the 8525? Have you upgraded it to WM6 or is still running the pre-installed cingular WM5 one?
Smiffy.

umm and just forget the fact that it has 200mhz...vs. a 8525 a 400mhz...not the smartest comment lol
I have no idea. I am still trying to learn how to access all the features.
I had Nokia 9500 before that and this phone is slightly different.
WM and ROM info should appear when i am restarting the device?
I am pretty sure i had WM5,but i am not sure....
Just go into Start --> Settings --> System --> About and that will tell you what OS it is running
Oh..Thank you
It says:
ROM Version - 2.15.502.3

I have an SX56 from Siemens, and have downloaded the special developers edition ROM. I am wanting to upgrade my phone, but am a little nervous about not being able to use AT&T after the upgrade. Is there anything special that I need to do prior to upgrading the xDA (like writing down settings)?
Eventually I think I may want to switch to T-Mobile...
I suggest you visit the "SX56 GPRS Online Setup Guide", anyhow its always a good idea to note your settings before doing any type of upgrade.
SX56 GPRS Online Setup Guide http://support.attwireless.com/awswls/support/devices/siemens/sx56/setup_guides/ppc2002.jsp
Also its a good idea to do a hard reset before you upgrade and "not" to do
a restore from backup after your done (do a fresh / reinstall all of your programs).
HTH
I would also advise a backup of your existing rom to sd card before flashing a new rom.

How have you found the T-Mobile service to work in Vegas? I have found MANY holes with the AT&T service that result in dropped calls...

The T-Mobile service works great in Vegas & Henderson!
Whereabouts in Henderson do you live (Green Valley, the Downtown Henderson area etc..)?
Henderson
Actually I live in Green Valley not too far from GVP and Sunset... I'm gonna go home tonight and try flashing the phone... although I realized I don't have access to a Unix machine... Guess I'll need to have one of my Unix Admin buddies compile this for me! Unless there's an image already out there?

What method are you planing on using to flash with?
Also no need for a Unix machine you download it from:

BTW I forgot to ask what radio stack is your SX56 running?
HTH
Phone ROM
Actually I am not sure what version it was... I was running the A.020.xx firmware upgrade... I was able to successfully install the developers ROM, unlock my phone and now have switched completely to T-Mobile..
Now I got a new version of firmware from T-Mobile's website... I attempted to upgrade my phone to that, but had some problems.. What version of firmware are you running?
Radio Stack
Actually I just looked, and my radio stack is A.20.10...

To install that T-Mobile update you'll have to run adaptROM first.
For AdaptROM do a search on the subject in this forum>

I know this is somewhere but I couldn't find anything definitive. I put WM6 on my phone but want to put it back to WM5. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I have to ask this - WHY??????????
-There are some programs that are not WM6 compatible
-There are some features/programs missing from the cooked ROMs
-If you sell the phone, and the person needs warranty work done, you want WM5
-You need to send it in for warranty repair
-You want actual tech support from your operator or HTC (even though this forum is better)
-You like being behind the times?

You don't NEED to do ANYTHING! Personally, I'd keep 1.40.Oli as your SPL, and 1.38.00.10 as your radio, and put on Cingular's 2.06 rom if you want WM5. Use Black 2.0 if you want WM6.. You can always downgrade radio and SPL if you need to later on, but, for now, leave it alone.
Well the only reason I ask is because I do plan on selling the phone, so I just want to make sure That I'm doing everything right...if that makes sense? I did super CID the phone though...

Leave the radio and HardSPL on the phone if you are selling it. Id say they were a good upgrade to sell alongside the device.
To mrvanx
In your this guide you use romkoch to generate NBH from NB files.
http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/Downgrade/
But in the romkoch software there is a tab NBH to NB tab, why is it that your quide don't use this to extract the NBH file?
I personally prefer to use NBHextract.
Im changing to guide to use a different app soon anyway.
Do I need to use that app to downrade if I am going to use an official rom from Cingular... their updated one?

I really like the shogun rom. Here on XDA he has some v2 basis but on the japanese site he has the shogun roms.... I love this version. I had schaps but I found it slow (3.54c). This version of shogun (freedom) is great. Very quick and something like 57mb free storage and instead of have a bunch of apps coming installed, he gives you a folder called Shogun OEM with the cabs to the apps in it so you can install them if you want. For example, if you like HTC HOME, you can install it after with one of the cabs instead of having it integrated and not be able to remove it simply as in schap's.
Talk about freedom! This is the first samurai-me rom I have tried.
Well well well,you know what?You convinced me!I'm going to flash it with this last one!Thanx again for everything!Woow i can't wait!

I am not sure if the wm6 shogun freedom rom includes hardspl (it might).. but I would flash hardspl first because it will let you flash to ANY rom ANY time without worrying about flashing a rom with a different CID.
Remember your phone was bootloader only? It is because you tried to flash a rom that was a different CID... if you had hardspl installed, you would not have had any problems before.
Hardspl v7 will change your IPL to 1.04 and SPL to 2.10.Olipro.
Ok thanks for your advice!
I'm giving up on WM6 because of the missing DUN (and a T9 bug).
I have another 3125 with the original ROM in it.
Is there a way that I can back up that ROM to my PC and install it to "upgraded" phone?
If not, is the original ROM available anywhere? I've been googling for two days and nothing. The closest thing is the AKU 3.4 from HTC which is missing DUN as well.
I've tried the WM6_BT_DUN cab file and that didn't help.
rom
do a search on this rom
RUU_STAR100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_CWS_SHIP.exe
it is the cingular wm5 release

Thanks lewnetoons, I saw that ROM on the wiki, but I'm under the impression this is the DUNless version of WM5. Am I wrong?

I'll have to load it on my phone this weekend and let you know if it has the dun, I think it does but it has been a while since I loaded a wm5 rom, will get back to ya.

That's very nice of you but please don't do that just to help me. I'd feel terrible if shyt happened while you were flashing. You know, there are hundreds of billions of lightning bolts in Florida every day....
Seriously, I'll check it myself and let you know of the results. That's very cool of you to offer.

Thanks lewnetoons, I couldn't find this file, but I ended up switching phones with my wife and now I'm back with DUN. Pain in the butt, but a solution nonetheless.
Every since i SPLed and changed to windows 6.5, my phone has been really funny.
Sometimes people cant hear me, sometimes they can, sometimes i get this crackly fingy on the line, just some funny noises on the line.
I have done the SPL thing a few times and HSPL as well and tried different flavours of ROM and radio ROMS but naaaa. Anyone had this issue and any suggestions on how to fix at all please?
Thanks
Sometimes you need to install a stock HTC rom and then reinstall the rom of your choice. I noticed weird things only in WM6.5 roms also, I thought my phone was almost dead, then I flashed an old stock rom, redid the radio and installed the rom again, and all was fine...so I tend to now go through this every half a dozen flashes, just to keep the phone running smooth.
As far as radio - I find 1.65.28.25 gives me the best battery life and WM6.5 needs a 1.65 radio (from what I understand).
I assume that the phone is CID unlocked - what version of HSPL did you install - 1.22?
DT
hey dt i think for a 20 key nike the best radio is 1.65.29.22
for a 16 key nike its 1.65.28.25 i think
cuz 1.65.28.25 sucked on m phone initially
.......about flashing a stock rom.... totally agreed
I installed HSPL 1.22 and am not too sure what radio but will try radio 1.65.29.22 as stated. Stock ROM... what does that mean please??? Oh yeah and its a 20 key NIKI
thanks guys

That means an official ROM version (like the one you had on your phone before flashing a custom ROM). There is a thread with many original ROMs here. Perhaps one of those helps.

my phone does the same 2
i have no sound at all now :S and no 2nd camera i`v tried more thn diffrent radios but nothing really worked HELP~!
Are we allowed to swear
Are we allowed to swear on this site? I have just about had it with my NIKI but cant bear to see this beautiful device go to waste. Could it be faulty? It works great with the earpiece connected. All these issues never happened until i decided to go high tech and change the ROM
Hi all,
Okay, not sure this will change the strange behavior your dealing with but I thought I give it a try just read this from twolf it's about flashing on sd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3314744&postcount=31
Otherwise I think you guy's could have some bad blocks and then you have to read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2183617
Just be carefull otherwise your Nike ends as a doorstop.
Goodluck and be carefull
