After failing to flash my HTC Wizard/Cingular 8125 to a Windows Mobile 6 Professional with TouchFLO interface of the HTC Touch on my first try, I successfully got it done yesterday. My guess is correct, my Wizard/8125 was not CID unlocked. I proceeded to downgrade to the Button ROM (gives me the ipl of 1.01) and then CID unlocked it with Lokiwiz. Then I ran the Button ROM once more to get the spl to 1.01 also.
So I am all set to flash to a non Cingular ROM. It was recommended to flash to the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM first because it's the best setup/preparation to custom ROMs. So I had the T-Mobile splash screen on my phone with buttons for tzones and T-Mobile hotspots. I flashed to the TNT 1921 WM6 Pro TouchFLO ROM within 5 minutes and now I am running 10MB pagepool Windows Mobile 6 Professional with TouchFLO. Operation complete.
Below are some screenshots after the completion:
EDIT: As requested, a link for the Button ROM download (which works)
Please leave a comment if the link is no longer working, I'll upload one ;)
EDIT 3: As requested, a link for the TNT 1921 WM6 Pro TouchFLO ROM (10MB pagepool) download. After you install the ROM, install this TNT Cube to enable the TouchFLO cube function.
EDIT 4: As requested, a link for the TNT 1921 WM6 Pro TouchFLO ROM (6MB pagepool) download. After you install the ROM, install this TNT Cube to enable the TouchFLO cube function.
EDIT 5: 6MB = BALANCE BETWEEN SPEED AND AVAILABLE RAM FOR PROGRAMS
10MB = FASTER SPEED AND LESS AVAILABLE RAM FOR PROGRAMS
EDIT 6: Official Cingular ROM Download Link
EDIT 2: Before you start, check if your 8125 is a G3 or G4. Mine is a G3. G4 uses a slightly different approach/file. I think if you have a G4 and you do it with the G3 method, you'll brick your phone.

Very cool!! Good job! Where can I find the button rom? The links i've seen on xda no longer work.
Updated with a link for the Button ROM.
Sweeet!!! You're my new best friend! I've been trying to get my 8125 upgraded...your blog has been a great help for me to figure out everything I need to do. Hopefully, I can get it unlocked soon. Thanks!!

Just make sure you do as instrcuted at xda and choose the correct one (G3 of G4). Good luck!
Yeah, I have G3...It was relatively easy to do the downgrade, unlock, upgrade. I think that I probably read at least 1000 forum posts before acting. I think I might keep the phone now though, definitely gave it a new life. :)
Yeah, I read a lot of posts to make sure I'm doing the right thing too. Turned out to be really easy since a lot are auto exe files. Mine has a little defect on the home screen though, that red yellow green colors on top to the home screen. And yesterday I just found out that I had 3 voicemails but I never received any notification whatsoever, wondered for a while if that's because of the ROM. I doubt so.
I just managed to flash my Wizard (G4 iMate K-Jam) with no problems. There are a few steps involved (mostly, using the HardSPL to give SuperCID rights). You are right though, using the same steps for a G4 will brick it.
There is a newer version of TNT that may resolve some of your issues. All in all, a great ROM!!!
thank you
