8125 ROM upgrade information request

Hello All,
Yes I am a newby here and I have tried to search for my answers so please do not flame me too bad.. I have an 8125 on Cingular service that has the origional ROM and I would like to upgrade it. I have reviewed the post and they are really hard to follow as they split off to multiple threads and almost always assume that you know the correct steps to follow.
Has anyone posted a "how to" for those of us that are new here? If not would someone like to talk me through it?
Thanks so much for your help

Question about ROM upgrade

Hello everyone -
Newbie here at this stuff, and I was wondering if I can download the Universal ROM AKU3.5 and install it on my Verizon XV6700 phone?
Thanks.
P.S: Universal means it's for everyone? or is it another brand like HTC, Apache, etc.

Universal is a BRAND, just as Apache is a BRAND.
I suggest you read the Apache Wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Apache
Not much info on there right now, but it will get you started. Also, do a forum search for the Apache or the XV6700 to find out if other owners are successfully able to flash to a new ROM and the steps they took to do it.
Good Luck!!

Thanks for the reply, one question though, you mentioned about new ROM for XV6700 over Apache forum, and I'm assuming u mean the Sprint AKU2.2 ROM right? If so I already got it flashed in my Verizon XV6700 and working now. What i'm interested in is the AKU3.x ROM. Is it possible at this moment?
Thanks.

That's a question you'll need to answer yourself from reading the thread that has the ROM you want to flash to. Each ROM has it's own prerequisites for a successful upgrade, so I wouldn't even want to presume to know whether you can or can't.
Here's the link to Molski's AKU3.2 ROM.

However, it's in the Wizard upgrade section, so you might not be able to use it on your Apache. The only way to know for sure is to read the ENTIRE thread to see if you could use it on your device.
If so, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY!!

If it's a Verizon phone, it is not GSM based, therefore it is TOTALLY different from the Wizard, and most other HTC devices.
If you can't do it yourself, learn. If you can't learn, wait for someone else to do it, and find out from them.
Now go have fun!

ASUS P550 - help?

Hi,
I have a problem and after doing a massive research I found this forum and I am wondering if someone could help me.
I have been trying to locate ASUS P550 for several weeks now and although it's sold in the UK as Vodafone v1520, it's modified for branding purposes and no good. At least I think it's not good. After talking to ASUS support I found out that the model is also for sale in Russia and Ukraine as ASUS P550, but unfortunately the WM6 on these devices is Russian.
Before deciding on buying the device I wanted to know if it would be possible that someone with the necessary skills and knowledge would be willing to try to change the language to English. I noticed that someone has done something similar for previous ASUS models like the P535. What I had in mind was that I would buy the device, export the ROM image and let somebody have it for modyfying / testing.
I have to say that I don't know much about smartphones and/or PDA-s besides what I have read and that is that the language cannot be changed simply by a push of a button like a normal person would expect. I also don't know much anything about ROMs or handling them, therefore I don't know whether it's possible to modify the ROM at all without the specific device in hand.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nobody knows nothing?

OK, I guess I am in a wrong message board.
I would have paid - and I still would - $100 for this.

I have the vodaphone version v1520 I am not sure what the difference is to the native version but its a great phone very fast and stable.
what do you think the other does that is advantageous and can I help clarify anything at all.

Thank You for your input. The answer to Your question is actually that after read some threads about the Vodafone branding I don't think that one or the other has any advantages over the other anymore. I just could not get my hands on the v1520 (which is English of course) while I was posting this thread. But now I got one from ebay and it is delivered tomorrow. So no need for ROM cooking anymore.
Thanks again.

Ok mate
If you find anywhere to learn and get cooked roms for the device let me know I have searched and searched but cant find anywhere.
the device is good but cooked roms always are better than shipped roms.
I cant seem to find a forum on the device with anyone doing anything with it..
If you know anything at all pm me or post here
Cheers
ps if I learn anything I will let you know

OK, deal. What I was told in another forum was that since the device is so new and there isn't yet an official ROM outthere it's quite too soon to expect to see a cooked ROM. It just takes time probably.

pls visit asusmobile.ru for details of activation of GPS
pls search this forum, there is some good information on Asus p550,which I have posted earlier.

Actually there isn't any good information in this forum that You have posted, for example in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393647 - You promised to share details if anyone was interested and there was lot of people interested, the only thing missing was fulfillment of Your promise. Even after I sent many PM to You, You didn't reply or post anything. That is currently the case.

ASUS P535 ROM cooking tutorial

To all experts:
Please, is there a kind soul who could help us newbies, with a comprehensive tutorial in building/extracting ROMs for P535?
I know, this is a huge work, but I needed to rise this question, since I couldn't find out any method to cook my ROM for P535, and I think that I'm not alone with this problem.
I've read through the all wiki materials in this mather and I've found only for HTC device...(OK-OK I know that this forum is xda related ). On other forums, mainly thai and vietnameese, the forum mates seems that are not so willing to share their tools neither to help (it's a pitty and shame!).
Or: can we use the Kaiser tools (or any other) for asus roms, or do they need some modifications?
Thank you in advance.

PS. Mods: hope is the right thread for my post, if not, please let me know and I'LL move it to the adequate place. Thanks

Running unsigned apps... (WM 6.5 ROM)

I have been looking everywhere for the answer to this. D/L a bunch of stuff but nothing is working. I just installed the new 6.5 ROM for my T-Mo USA TP2 and I cannot find a way to unlock it so that I can run unsigned apps/cabs on it.
I have used search but I can't seem to locate the answer. Can anyone help?

Apologies - I realized I dropped this in the ROM Dev section - Still wouldn't mind the answer if anyone has it.

maybe this thread will help you.
app unlock
regards,
twisted

It looks like one of the ones I've already tried - but I'm gonna give it a shot! Thanks!
