New Cingular 8125 ROM released

Submitted by Stanley on Mon, 19/06/2006 - 20:05. ROMs

Earlier today I wrote about the Cingular AKU2.2 ROM that had been released. The file turned out to be corrupted. Right now the download URL has disapeared from htcamerica.net , but in fact the correct file has been uploaded on the same URL in the meantime.

I am currently downloading the file, and might make it available to members here on the HTC Wizard Web if the htcamerica.net site were to come to a grinding halt. In the meantime you can try to download the new ROM yourself.

Ever since its launch on April 1st, the HTC Wizard Web has been running ads to cover the costs of hosting. Since the launch, the HTC Wizard Web has seen its community grow to 5000+ members and the number of daily visitors has grown to 3000+.

Latest developments at the HTC Wizard Web

Submitted by Stanley on Fri, 21/07/2006 - 23:03. HTC Wizard Web

The HTC Wizard Web is still going strong, and I thought it was about time to update all the members about the latest developments.

First off all, the number of members is still steadily growing, and we are nearing the 5000 members mark. That's a great achievement and something I never even dared to dream of.

SIM unlock your recently bought HTC Wizard

Submitted by Stanley on Fri, 21/07/2006 - 22:18. Tweaking

As some of you may know, the method to remove the SIM lock from your HTC Wizard that was posted on the HTC Wizard Web earlier does not work for all devices anymore. It looks like at least the newest batch of Cingular 8125 devices have been loaded with newer firmware than previous models. That caused Lokiwiz to stop from working. This has now partialy been remedied.

On msexchange.org I found an article titled Exchange 2003 Mobile Messaging Part 1 - A look at the Microsoft DirectPush technology that explains just about everything about how DirectPush works. They start with explaining where we are coming from:
