That would be the case if it were to release on May 4th. Im really hoping it does. Seems like MS has some kind of explosive release going on here...

May4th - WM6

May7th - Xbox 360 Dashboard Update

May7th - Vista Ultimate Extras
[HTC Excalibur] sting0r:
Anyone try Blackberry connect on WM6? Does it work?
[HTC Excalibur] tbdevil88:
Installing Blackberry Connect right now. I am using default t-mobile dash and I have access to a BES server. I will keep you posted.
[HTC Excalibur] tbdevil88:
I have to let me Dash charge more. You cannot be connected with ActiveSync to your desktop or have a relationship with an Exchange server.

Phone is charging right now... I'll let it charge for about 20 minutes.
[HTC Excalibur] tbdevil88:
ALSO, I have been looking for the WM6 install/upgrade/beta for my Dash and I cannot find it anywhere. I found an article that says some guys at XDA-Developers have done so, but I cant figure out where to obatin a copy of the OS. Can someone give me the link.

Also, I read in another article on this forum that T-Mobile will be releasing the Dash upgrade like May 6, 8, or 9th (something like that). Has this been confirmed by T-Mobile or a reliable source?
[HTC Excalibur] huemedia:
This is where you can get the T-mobile WM6 beta rom but make sure you read some of the threads on XDA related to this beta as there are a whole lot of problems with it (hence beta rom).

So when's the new ROM gonna end up on Rapidshare???
[HTC Excalibur] tbdevil88:
I downloaded the beta, but I also saw that you can download the factory ROM for the Excalibur and T-mobile Dash. I want to install the Excalibur ROM instead of the T-mobile one, but when I started the install it gave me an error that said "ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID". Does this mean that I will need to unlock the phone? I'd like to have an Excalibur instead of a Dash of you know what I mean.
[HTC Excalibur] tbdevil88:
FYI... I tried to install the BB Connect software. No luck. It only gives me the option to synchronize the Calendar, and once I select it an error pops up and asks me to connect the handheld to a desktop with the Blackberry Configuration Software installed. I dont have it.
[HTC Excalibur] richy240:
Yes, unlock. It costs ~$40.
[HTC Excalibur] bartp:

Well, you could always download the unlock app from imei-check and run it.

When it asks for key file unplug the phone and close the app. Run flash app and it'll be all good.
[HTC Excalibur] richy240:
No ****?!?
[HTC Excalibur] huemedia:

Does that really work Bartp?

Have you tested it?

[HTC Excalibur] rklosinski:
I followed the instructions and loaded the dash rom (beta wm6) on my htc 620.
[HTC Excalibur] richy240:
What instructions? The IMEI-Check thing above?
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
some reason why you guys can't test it and post back?

seems like a pretty easy thing to do.

i might test it once the htc wm6 version comes out since i have the dash.

good luck!
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
what file are you using. i got "DASHv2Unlock" from imei check, is that what you used?

[HTC Excalibur] Jaw3000:
So does using the IMEI check software and following the previously posted hack actually CID unlock the phone without messing other things up?

Can someone who has done it verify this and maybe post some more detailed instructions on how to do it with the hack (without paying)?

Internet Not Working!

I installed the Beta when it was leaked and installed the final release when it was leaked too and had unlimited internet before I upgraded WM5 to the Beta. This morning however, the day T-Mobile officially released the upgrade, I noticed my internet and e-mail werent working, but T-Zones was. I had added the T-MobileWeb for $5.99 package to my plan a few months back because T-Mobile shut down free internet access in my area (Dallas, TX) and adding that package to my plan allowed me to have unlimited internet access again without having to pay for the T-Mobile Total Internet Add-on package for $29.99.

I have tried every thing I can think of to troubleshoot the phone except for restoring factory settings. Is anyone else having the same issue as me? Maybe T-Mobile figured out that people are getting unlimited internet access on their phones with the T-MobileWeb package (which is only suppose to let you use T-Zones to access premium content, not use IE) and are now blocking it?

I called T-Mobile on my way to work and they said everything on their end is fine and that there have not been any data outages reported in my area. T-Zones is working on my phone, no other data seems to work. The last time ActiveSyn talked to Exchange was @ 1:59 AM (5/9/2007).

Any input would be great!

I have started another thread on this topic, so please reply there.

Like move the "New" in Text message area,

Also when I exit Comm manger Active Sync pops up???

I tried to setup Windows Live and it tries to sync all day using GPRS / EDGE at my expense...

I'm not very happy right now... thinking to switch back to WM5
[HTC Excalibur] bkeaver:
you know, I dont believe you are the only one that thinks that there are a few flaws in the design of WM6 compared to what we are used to, however I believe that all that is good about the ROM out weighs the few flaws and arent enough of a big deal to revert back to WM5.

I am sure I am not the only one with that opinion. But everyone has thier own opinions, this just happens to be mine.

The MMS settings are kind of hidden. i don´t know why they did it this way.

After you set up the mms connection setings.

Go to Messaging

Select Text/Multimedia

Then Menu-0 Options-4 Message Options

Then Menu Again.and here you will find on 1-MMSC Settings

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] automatek:
I don't see anything about it being specific to the Developer Version only. It says it's for SM-N910v and doesn't contain the developer model number, SM-N910VMKEVZW.

I do see a disclaimer on the CF-Auto-Root page: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ that says "If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device..." and it is my impression that the whole reason it's taken a while for a root exploit to surface was because of our locked bootloaders.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbarker2:
Look at the screenshots, that looks like 2 generation old touchwiz. And a random website called androidxda? Doesn't seem like a very reputable site.

The bootloader is locked, flashing CF-Autorooot will not work. This is basic stuff. Also for future reference, this doesn't belong in Android Development section.. take questions to Q&A.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
I can confirm that this process works ONLY on the Note 4 Developer Edition. It will not work on the retail version no matter what firmware the user has on his phone because the retail version has a locked bootloader and the Developer Edition has an unlocked bootloader. This process will fail as soon as it tries to replace the stock recovery partition with the custom recovery (TWRP in this case).

I noticed some of what you are saying. I don't know Most of the "Basic" stuff with Android Root Methods. I can follow a Procedure to Root a Device. I don't know if this will work if this wont work etc etc AGAIN which is Why I brought the Questions to the PROS. I did look at some of this Questionably though. I also looked through the Comments & the OP posted 4 days ago that is would Work on Either Edition. I also Commented asking him again but the Comment is not showing up, maybe because it has to be approved before it will show up. The name AndroidXDA actually ADDED credibility to the post for me BUT it also made me Hesitant which AGAIN is why I brought the Question here to the PROS. As far as where I place the Thread IMO my question could go in the General Section or Android Development. I apologize for the Wrong Placement but I didn't put it in the Wrong Place on Purpose. I recieved a PM saying it had been moved & I even asked the Moderator Why because I still dont know why " Will this ROOT method work" is not a General Question or a question about Android Development. These forums aggravate me sometimes everything needs to be so perfect & in its right place according to moderators Opinions & who knows what that might be & if its placed in the Wrong spot BAM your Head is Bitten Off & you are Scolded for being so STUPID to put (blank) in that section. That is ALL. Sorry for asking a BASIC (dumb) Question & Asking it in the Wrong Place. I can only hope the Forum Gods Forgive me. :D

Possible Bootloader Unlock

Okay I'm sure most of us have bricked or soft-bricked our devices. I have done so on the Note 2. I even screwed on my baseband once. This is what I tried to revive the phone.

1. Odin Stock (No luck)

2. Restore Back up (No luck)

3. And then interesting... Rooted a friends phone and created a backup in TWRP, swapped a few files and restored to my phone. (Worked) However, not only did this work, IT CLONED his phone entirely. IMEI, serial no., everything. Pretty much with identical sims- both of our phones would possibly ring when receiving a call.

With that said my initial problem wasn't solved.

So I started looking for a another method.

I found out that Samsung Kies has emergency recovery granted you have Model Number, and Serial No. of the device.

This WORKED. Good as new with exception of new 4.3 Bootloader.

So what I am getting at is...

What if we used the Serial No. of a Developer's Edition device through Samsung Kies to restore a Retail Version???

Theoretically speaking.... Kies would install the Official software for the Developer's Edition to our Retail device, Thus giving us and Unlocked Bootloader.

I only have 4 days left to return my device to Walmart.

If someone is willing to provide me with the serial number of a Dev Edition I will try this immediately.

Cheers!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
I'm pretty sure this won't work because the Developer Edition bootloaders are INDIVIDUALLY signed. So, there is no way you can unlock the bootloader on a retail version...there is no Samsung "signature" for that bootloader.

[Samsung Gear VR] zorglub667:
handling the headphones as "one more thing to put on your head before you can start" bothered me. i think i came up with a funny and handy workaround for this:

i used the note4 earplugs (which arent great, but ok quality) and, well, how to say this, wrapped them around the gear VR in a speficic way. english is not my mother language and i will have problems describing this, but try to hear me out on this because IMO its pretty awesome:

1. the earplug cable "splits" a couple of centimeters before the end (so that you have space to put one earplug in each ear). use that as a starting point and place this right under the "overhead strap" of the gear VR. from there, right earplug goes right and left earplug goes left (thank you, captain obvious), BUT: wrap them around the gear VR headstrap, so that it runs through the velcro part where you set the size of the headstrap. if you wrap it around once, the remote control for taking calls will disappear right between the two velcro parts, and the remaining cable will be precisely long enough that the earplug hangs right next to your ear when you put the headset on. with just enough "buffer" when putting it into the ear to move freely without every noticing it. same for the left side of course. and on the left side, also wrap the remaining cable around the velcro area a couple of times, so that not only does the earplug "hang just in the right position", but so does the jack that goes into the headphone plug of the phone.

it sounds like a mess, but if you do it right (i.e., wrap from inside, not outside, hide parts of the cable under the facepad etc), its totally fine, and the big big plus is that from then on you perceive the gear VR as "one device, including headphones". imagine it would have earplugs coming out of the headstrap - its almost exactly like that. and it makes the process of putting it on and removing it so much more convenient. no extra headphone cable mess. but also no extra "uh, did i charge my bluetooth headphones before i went on the road?" traps to fall in. i love it. highly recommended.
