if you're CID/SIM unlocked,

Run the special bootloader ROM

Then install any ROM you want. Do not bother with the test ROM as the actual released ROM from HTC is the same ROM without the test warnings throughout.

I'm also using an unlocked dash and tried to update without the bootloader ROM first - did not work.

where do i get the rom released by htc?

the ftp site for xda-developers doesn't seem to work

i can't even download the bootloader

anyone have any idea where to get these files?

I owna US t-mobile dash and recently flashed to this rom. Everything went great but I do have one issue. Ever since I flashed the phone the page up #2, page down #8 on internet explorer doesn't work. I have smartweaker loaded and one of the tweaks is for this. I activate it and i still can't get the feature. I have done all the proper zone and keyboard adjustments to make a US keyboard. I also tried surrealnetworks hacks for this function. I don't know if the reg for the htc rom is different than the t-mobile. If any body can tell me the reg hack or how I can get the feature from smarttweaker to work I would be forever grateful. I hate using the jogger and holding down d-pad is just a pain.

thanks

Dash Upgrade does not work!!

Hey, guys.

I've been following this thread (and others) for the last few days now. Firstly, this site is great!!! Thanks for all the info etc!!

I did try to upgrade my T-Mo Dash, following all instructions to the letter. I'm not new to flashing, having worked my way through a MPx200, 220, Sp3, MDA, SDA, etc, etc.

It does appear that my Dash is CID Locked. I tried upgrading the bootloader first (many times), tried flashing the HTC rom by itself, tried the radio upgrade as well. They ALL fail. The "special" Bootloader upgrade, described by "SecureGSM" unfortunately fails with the "Incorrect Vendor" error....

My Dash is only SIM unlocked from T-Mobile. It's also App unlocked, but not CID unlocked. Like several others in this thread, I am reluctant to pay $38 to just get it CID unlocked, as it will already accept other SIM's..........

I know there are many smartphones/PPC phones that can be CID unlocked without the help of IMEI Check. Surely, there is a way it can be done with the Dash/Excalibur.........!!!! Someone???????? Please Help!!!!???
[HTC Excalibur] bkeaver:
todate as far as I know there isnt any "Free" was to CID unlock your phone that I know of. I have been watching the threads pretty close waiting for someone to say they finally succeeded. Good luck.
[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
RE CID Unlock

Thanks for the info. I'll keep looking.....

If anyone can help, my e-mail is "cinimod1000@charter.net"

I would really appreciate it if there is a solution, seeing as there is for most HTC phones out there.

SecureGSM and Pof - do you have a workaround you can help with? I would be most grateful....
[HTC Excalibur] paincorp:
make up your mind

and if you want it CID, SIM and App unlocked you need to pay the $38, unless you want to go and figure it out, because no one else has
[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
...."Make up your mind"...

Wow! That's some response....

I thought these forums were for helping folks, not slamming them!!

If you read what I wrote, I said my Dash is now SIM and APP unlocked, but NOT CID unlocked. There is no making up my mind.

I know IMEI-Check can do that. That means it is "crackable", and I was seeing if anyone had solved the problem yet. That's all.
[HTC Excalibur] paincorp:
if you looked you first said it was cid unlocked then said it wasn't...thats all i was pointing out...

and simple searching would have shown that there is no free method
[HTC Excalibur] tramuyo:
the idea of tweaking the RUU update to skip id check is quite good ;)

im goin to try and later post my results.. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] mray99:
I've gone through this thread in its' entirety, but what I still don't really understand is why are some people finding it possible to use the 'excalibur upgrade only' bootloader revision on the t-mo Dash, while it won't seem to work for others. I've tried just about every possibility I can think of on my end, but nothing seems to get it to take. I always get the "Invalid Vendor" prompt.

Are there some software revisions made by t-mo on the Dash, where some people have slightly different operating software that is making something like this possible? If not, if someone has the time, I would love a very meticulous step by step for what someone has done to get it happening on the Dash. If it's not different software on the t-mo dash, then it must be something we are doing.
[HTC Excalibur] ka24e:
some need CID unlock...
[HTC Excalibur] mray99:
I understand that, however that is just the solution, I was trying to understand the cause for different Dash's to react differently to attempting to apply the ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] boogiecornejo:
does this mean it would be safe to try changing my tmobile dash's rom to the htc rom even if my unit is not cid unlocked?
[HTC Excalibur] richy240:
No, it means you CAN'T flash to an HTC ROM unless your device is CID unlocked. You can ONLY install a T-Mobile ROM, unless your device accepts the alternate bootloader.
[HTC Excalibur] jeg815:
is this a new version of WM6? I unlocked my T-Mobile Dash with the unlock app posted here.
[HTC Excalibur] boogiecornejo:
Hey, i just unlocked my dash and now am running the latest dopod rom!!thanks guys!
[HTC Excalibur] richy240:
So, did you pay to have it unlocked?
[HTC Excalibur] Henchman:
what's the latest dopod ROM?
[HTC Excalibur] boogiecornejo:
nope!i used the bootloader upgrade thing on page 1 of this thread.i was actually surpised it worked.i tried changing rom earlier last week but the computer said that the official dopod rom was not for my device so i assumed i was cid locked then i tried the instructions on the 1st page and viola,it worked...
[HTC Excalibur] boogiecornejo:
this is what it says on the site:

Flash HTC Unlocked Excalibur with Dash Firmware

I have read this entire thread - now three times.

I purchased unlock from imei-check.co and the program reports that my device is now unlock.

I tried flashing the bootloader as page one says. I tried from windows and from manual bootloader start.

Then tried over and over again to flash using the latest Tmobile firmware flash -- I keep getting that same error regarding the wrong device.

Any suggestions given that I have read all I know to read and tried everything previously suggested?

I would like to upgrade to WM6

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] jdhelstrom:
Ok, so the "RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Ship.exe" has been removed courtesy of microsoft? Those @!#$*tards. Can anyone who has this file email me a copy?

Also, I just recieved my new phone, its an unbranded HTC version, but its running:

bootloader=1.19.000

rom version=1.19.422.2

Radio=4.1.13.34_02.79.90

This seems to be a much higher version then what has been discussed. Does anyone have any experience with this version, as far as being better or worse then before? I'm having intermittent issues with all the wireless networking types, such as problems connecting to gprs and 802.11 networks, and when it does work, my gprs/edge is INCREDIBLY slow.

[HTC Excalibur] evow:
first unlock the phone (cid unlock)

here:

http://www.imei-check.co.uk/dashunlock.php

then download the rom for wm6

and follow this steps :

Tools you need:

===============

- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/

the ROM of your choice

- Winzip or Winrar

- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone

Preparation:

============

a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc

b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files

c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu

d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file

e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu

Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)

You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file

ROM-Update:

===========

1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone

2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).

3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT

4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!

5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)

6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe

7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!)

==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again).

just follow it exactly and it will work,

i just got scared my self when i got data chrashed, but a few minutes later everythinbg worked well.

How to reload the default software back to HTC Excalibur

Hello,

Need your guys help urgently. I have a HTC Excalibur, but recently did not power ON for about afew weeks, and now when I power ON, it will just hang at the booting green page showing "Windows Mobile Direct Push Technology", and can never goto the main screen at all, suspected that the software corrupted.

Please help, I have tried to use the Activesync but it does not detect my HTC Excalibur. Is there any way to reload back the default software/firmware image back to the device? like BlackBerry device, there's a software application and can use the Desktop Manager Application Loader to reload the software/firmware back to the device, is there such similar way for HTC Excalibur? Or any alternatives to resolve this issue?

Please HELP, any kind soul expert out there to help?

Thousand of thanks.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasimir:
Hi,

my problem is that, completely out of the blue, the Meny and Back buttons stopped behaving as they should.

One minute they were working normally.

The next if they tap them I feel the normal vibration-feedback... but nothing happens.

If I set them to perform different functions, they work.

It is just the "Open Menu" and "Go Back" functions that somehow refuse to be executed.

This happened while my old DesireHD was running the Gimme-A-Break 1.7 rom.

So I flashed a new rom (Mokee Opensource) and after a day or two the same problem reappeared. (along with the "Insufficient Storage" bug, but that's a different problem).

Does anyone have any idea about what's happening to my poor phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasimir:
It happened again in less than a few hours after a clean install of the latest Cyanogen.

Also I noticed the problem doesn't appear when I am navigating the Recovery mode (4Ext)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VicMan8080:
Device: Samsung SCH-i509

Android Ver: 2.3.6

Rooeted: Yes

Internal Memory: 160MB

Ext memory: 2GB microSD partitioned as: 1st Partition: 1455MB FAT, Second Partition: 515 EXT2 (I am using Link2SD for linking apps to SD card)

Superuser App: SuperSU

Rom Management: RomToolBox lite

I rooted my phone about a fortnight ago, first time rooting, things went fine, and apps were responsive.

2 days back I not only uninstalled the Google Play Store updates but also uninstalled the app, hoping I would install the latest google store APK from Android Police ( Ver: com.android.vending-4.8.22.apk )

I am new to rooting and installing apks, so after installing the above mentioned Google Play Store apk to the SD card and finding it was not responsive (I was getting a blank screen and an error message shortly thereafter which disappeared instantaneously for me to note what it said). I googled and found on a forum, (sorry don't recall which one) that the APK needs to be copied to the system/app folder and any previous apk of Google Play Store needs to be replaced. So using Root Browser in ROMToolBox I copied the apk to system/app.

Doing so did open the 'first run' of Google Play Store, as in I was prompted to allow permission via google account and opened the interface with my apps etc normally. But trouble started when I tried to update the apps. The moment I do that, I get the downloading bar AND then I get the force close screen. The same would happen in the case if I try to download any apps.

I froze the Google Play Store app through ROMToolBox App Manager.

On doing a search on XDA forums before I posted here I came across: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2129881

And did as suggested in this thread: went to the system/app folder through Root Browser and set permission to rw-r--r-- as suggested there.

UNFORTUNATELY things are the same as before: once the app fires up either by clicking on a Google Play Store linked ad or by just opening it, I am back to force close screen.

I would be really thankful if someone could help me out on this.

Also, I am not quite sure how much it makes a difference I was using Link2SD to link all user apps to SD card (I uninstalled this app as well hoping to install the latest version)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr67:
You rebooted after changing the apk permissions, right? Also perhaps try force stopping the plays store, wiping the app data then reboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VicMan8080:
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I had rebooted and clear app data but the app was still unresponsive/

The issue resolved when I downloaded an older version of the Google Play Store app and installed it in the sys/app folder after removing the previous one, reconfigured the permissions and rebooted. things are working fine now.

Cheers, have a great weekend!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retfeg:
I have been trying for hours to install both TWRP and CWM recoveries, and my phone will not accept them.

It goes through the process, yet upon the reboot into recovery, it just starts normally.

the message on the phone is: Mismathched partition size (recovery)

I have a Canadian version of 4.4.2 stock rom on my Moto G.

It is boolader unlocked and rooted.

Any ideas how to install the recovery?

My ultimate goal is to install a rom that supports russian language.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smiff2:
same problem here! brand new phone, 4.4.2 o2 UK.

the mismatched partition size error is not important i know that.

have tried Philz (got it to work once, but after rebooting, had gone again. ever after letting it fix the rom rewrite on exit!). also tried stock CWM 6046 and 6047.

have tried entering recover immediately after flashing.

have tried flashing multiple times.

have tried different usb ports.

ideas please?

i've never had this much trouble with any phone (have experience over 3 years with Blade, G300, Xperia range etc.)

edit: tried using fastboot -S 0 parameter also, seems to make no difference. phone won't boot into recovery. this is slightly different to the problem i had with old phone, that one would boot Philz but not boot any ROMs. this one is booting stock ROM. if i can get Philz to "take" again i could try flashing CM, but i wanted to stay on stock, and just root it..

edit2: just started working! bizarre.. hope this doesn't jinx it. i wrote two recovery images with -S 0 and it works, not sure if because of that or something else. btw Philz won't backup the stock rom, odd - it just errors out, CWM standard works though.

hurrah! i rebooted normally, went back to fastboot and recovery still there. this is with recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img

now i can hopefully root it..

wonder if my 3rd moto g will get any easier! this is a huge PITA of random non-workiness so far.
