Cingular 8125 Hacks
OK, so last night I got lost on the xda-developers.com forums. When I say lost, I really mean lost. I spent at least 3 hours poring over the various threads about upgrading HTC Wizards (the Cingular 8125’s formal name). And today I have an upgraded device. Windows Mobile 6, Office 2007, upgraded camera software, and more.
Here are some links to the upgrades that I went with:
NBD v8.0
IPL/SPL 3.08, Radio 2.69.11
Cingular WM6 Radio Fix2
The following were honorable mentions that I haven’t tried yet:
XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a
See No Evil v2.0
The forums forced me to drool over some of the 8525 (aka Hermes) upgrades while I was there:
Sleuth’s v3.0 Developer ROM
vp3G’s WM6 v3.0
There was a ton of info on the wiki, too. If you’re a Windows Mobile fan, visit these links with caution. You might lose a day or two of your life to WinMo hacking.
Scott,
I am glad to see that someone was able to get the upgrades for this phone.. I too have spent over 3 hours trying to get this to work. Can you help me out? Did you have to unlock the phone to make these updates, and if so, how?

Yes, I had to first unlock my phone before I was able to install any of this software. The thread with instructions for how to do this can be found here.
