Don't start Activesync, just run the unlocker.

In this stadium you can't connect with Activesync.
[HTC Excalibur] Bugs74:
The solution was to take my simcard & memorycard out and reboot.

Then I was able to synch with activesync and run the update utility again.

My s620 is working fine now!

Hi there,

you can change home screen appearence in: settings-->Home Screen.

"Windows Default" theme would be good starting point ;)

Internet settings are located in settings-->connection. Talk to your GSM Carrier's support people. They should be able to guide you through.

Best of luck!

Thank you very much, I've flashed my S620 with this ROM successfully.

Keyboard help needed ASAP!

i was messing around with the keyboard settings in the registry and screwed up the keyboard and a lot of the keys do not work. would anyone be willing to make me a .cab with the keyboard registry settings for us english?
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
Pease press "Fn" and "Space Bar" buttons at the same time.

This should bring forward popup menu with the following options:

1. xt9

2. ABC

3. Language

Please select "ABC" option. If you would like to enable xt9 functionality back, then just select "xt9" option from the same menu.

Please note: xt9 menu is accessible by pressing (Fn + Space Bar) only while your cursor is located in the text entry field, be that contact editing, text, IE address bar, etc, etc.

I hope it helps.

Hi,

I have a spanish HTC s620, so it's sim-unlocked but cid-locked. in a previous post, you said it was possible to use the bootloader downgrade without cid-unlocking, but in my case, it always sais 'invalid model'.

it is necessary to cid-unlock?
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
yes, if you get that error message u must cid unlock.
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
It seems to be the case :( It worked for me though (S620, QWERTZ, European, Bright Point).
[HTC Excalibur] jsp_m:
wow this rom is good, stable and fast!!

ps. here's my list of do-it-first changes:

* install disable SMS sent notify,

* adjust Joggbar (I disable the sounds and kill the lower shortcut because it distrubsm me when I write, and evelope on the keyboard leads to the messagig anyways),

* repair keyboard symbols allocation,

* install DONotFOrget to kill the blinking LED,

* regedit to make screen swith of in 15 secs, backlight in 10..

* disable SMS Sent notification

Ps. it seems this ROM is application unlocked

Pps. Don't bother going to WindowsUpgrade, there are no updates at this time

PPPS. can anyone tell me how to replace edited eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt in the /Windows folder, because the destination file does not allow overwriting?I tried trough WOrd, trough edition on PC and then ActiveSync drag and drop overwrite, I even tried Cut/Paste in FileExplorer...nothing helps, the stubborn file refuses to be overwritten
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
how did you repair keyboard symbols allocation?

i cannot replace eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap either...
[HTC Excalibur] jsp_m:
I changed the reg function to 1050, that brought me a bit closer, except the "!"
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
was that:

HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD:

CurLang = 1050 (Decimal)

in the registry?
[HTC Excalibur] jsp_m:
Yes, but my hardware QWERTY keys are like:

Q has % (current soft !)

J has @ (current soft pound mark, useless)

N has & (current soft @)

M has ! (current soft =)

these are the keys that are messed up for now.. I should probably be switching the HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD 10XX numbers till I get it right, but it's too much hassle...

anyone has list of 10XXs?

ps. for the scope of my emails, it's most important I have question marks in place :DDD

This New {HTC WM6 TEST ROM} Version Is Hot!

:confused: This new HTC test wm6 ROM is smoother than class, almost PERFECT! It has really open my eyes to the Rom that T-mobile just dumped on us recently, the not to long ago released wm6 official T-Mobile ROM is garbage compared to this new HTC wm6 test Rom, with this ROM you will not have any of that memory leaks and the "REBOOT, LOOP THE LOOP, TRICK ROM" stuff. I would advise every person, that own a Dash, have your device CID unlock now, don't even think about it, just do it now! And just be patient, because the English version (WWE) HTC wm6 ROM official released is coming very soon!:D
[HTC Excalibur] gujudude:
so, does anyone have any suggestions for my error message that i posted earlier?

http://img527.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitledhw4.jpg
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
this screen is unreadable. non-unicode character set mismatched.

To address that, on your desktop computer, please set:

Non-Unicode application support to: Russian (Cyrilic) and reboot your computer.

Please run ROM upgrade again and take a note of the error that will come up this time.
[HTC Excalibur] J273:
Hmmm i cant seem to find the link either
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
This ROM is rock solid and feels like Final Release Candidate. I would not be supprised if official shipped WM6 ROM will be just this ROM with removed "IU build...." warning on boot screen.

and yes, one can guess that perhaps final WM6 ROM may become publically available in August/ :)
[HTC Excalibur] Bugs74:
Hmmm, someone removed the download link (It was in post #8). I'm uploading the rom to Rapidshare right now, so there will be a new dowload link in a few minutes...

Voila:

HTC WM6 Test ROM LINK!

:confused: Here is another download link for the wm6 HTC test ROM http://www.mediafire.com/?1vtvk9x4zci Works like a charm!:D
[HTC Excalibur] Bugs74:
I found a quite annoying bug (or maybe I'm doing something wrong).

I can't send a text-message (SMS). When I type a message, and press send, nothing happens. When I reboot my device, open the message from 'Drafts' and press send it does send the message. But when I type a new message, I have to reboot before I am able to send it!

Did anyone encounter this problem? And more important, can it be resolved?

Thanx!
[HTC Excalibur] esmith:
I don't have any problem sending SMS... not sure why your getting that... maybe just upload the rom on your phone again... that might fix it...

Anyone know how to get that HTC test screen off of the start up???

I would like to change it but can't find what it is in the windows folder..

thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
Please see this page for details:

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=256039

No, I have no issue with SMS sending. I have done the following:

Selected the contact (my own phone number for the test) and pressed OK, selected "Send text message" and pressed OK, typed the message and pressed "send" button.

Message has been delivered almost instantly.

I am wondering if you have followed the same route or typed in phone number manually instead?

Also, please double check that in Settings--> Phone-->Call Options:

Text messages service centre: you have correct service numbere detected.
[HTC Excalibur] J273:
Thanks alot
[HTC Excalibur] canadian student:
Thanks for the ROM guys.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
US English keyboard settings...this worked perfectly for me.

change HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang to 1033 (Dec) 0409 (Hex)

move attached file into \Windows

reboot
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
has anyone figured out where to put in MMS settings?
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
messaging-->MMS-->menu:

(7) tools --> (3) options:

(4) Account settings-->Menu:

(1) MMSC Settings:

Sample MMS entry. You may just press on that entry and adjust all settings as required.

I know, it should be easier then that.. period. :)
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
duh....thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
this did nothing for me. rebooted and double checked the registry and the value is 1033. this is for the dash keyboard correct?
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
after rereading i see that et9 file has to be overwritten as well.

whats the trick to allowing the read only file to be overwritten?

thanks, chris
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
i copied the file to my documents and then used total commander to copy the file from my documents to \windows and then restart. that is what i did and it worked...
[HTC Excalibur] canadian student:

Try Installing The BootLoader First

:confused: I believe the only time you get that error message is when you don't flash/install the bootloader first. Guy give it another try, you are almost there. Let us know how things work out for you!:D
[HTC Excalibur] jt76542:
I am having an issue trying to connect to the internet. I have the blackberry internet package. When I connect using WIFI I can sync with my work exchange server-emails, contacs ETC but when I am not using WIFI it will not work.

It was working about an hour ago before I download the ROM? Any thoughts. It says to check my internet connections under settings but there are so many I'm not sure what to check. I know that with my plan I can surf and stuff.

EDIT: Just had to adjust the PROXY and GPRS. Smooth sailing now!!
[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
Could someone with this rom check a couple of setting options for me?

POP e-mail settings. The tmobile rom only gives Work or Internet as options to connect with. WM5 also gives WapNetwork as an option. Is this available in this Rom?

Also, Exchange Activesync only gives The Internet as the Connect With option. Does the HTC Rom give further options?

I know there are workarounds for us folks with Tmobile USA on the Tzones plan, but it would be far simpler if the above is available.

If anyone has a moment to check the above I would really appreciate it. Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] canadian student:
Thanks for the tips, but i think you know what's coming next?

How do you load bootloader please and thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
download and flash this file first.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/smartphones/Excalibur/RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe

then flash the wm6 rom.
[HTC Excalibur] canadian student:
wow this is just not working, when i try to flash too the spl 1.11 i get error 260. Maybe it just wasn't meant too be. Thanks for the help guys.

[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
Connection settings in this rom

Anyone? I really would appreciate it, as I do not want to pay for CID unlocking unless this rom gives the option to connect via Wap network with POP e-mail.
[HTC Excalibur] Bugs74:
I checked it for you, and the options under 'Network Connection' in the Email Setup wizard on my phone are:

Work

The Internet

T-Mobile MMS

T-Mobile GPRS

I haven't got WAP configured, so I'm not sure if it is possible... Maybe someone else can help you out!

Greetz...
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
yes, this is available. i am on tmo usa and the proxy wap solution works great!
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
it looks like you can set the proxy in the midlet manager too.

i don't use the proxy so i can't test this.
[HTC Excalibur] jt76542:

AHUKKI

I am trying to upgrade my unlocked Dash with the Russian ROM and have tried to follow everything in this forum including the bootloader upgrade.

When I try to run the bootloader upgrade I get an error message saying "check USB connection"

What is wrong?
[HTC Excalibur] jt76542:
Are you connect via activesync when your doing this?
[HTC Excalibur] ahukki:
AHUKKI

Yes I am. The active sync connection cuts off when the upgrade begins and then I get the error message Error 260 and it says that there is a problem with the USB connection but I cnow that I was properly connected before the upgrade started.

The phone shows the special three color screen like it should when I try to install the Russian ROM and the installation begins but then I get the same er error message as everybody else (invalid device)

I dont know what the difference between CID and SIM unlock is but my phone is unlocked and I was able to install an earlier version of HTC ROM to replace the original T-mobile one. I now have the WM6 from t-Mobile.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
try flashing the bootloader first...
[HTC Excalibur] ahukki:
AHUKKI

That is excactly what I am not able to do. It gives me an error code 260 (connection problem) and I am definitely connected to active sync when I begin. By the way, I am using Windows Vista Ultimate and not active sync but the Mobile Connection Manager that comes with it. Could that be the problem?
[HTC Excalibur] UnicornKaz:
yep !!

I believed for Vista you have to read this carefully ;)

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977

[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
so far i'm only having 2 problems with the rom on my dash.

the network shows up as "get more..."

i really wouldn't mind this but the ... makes it look like its searching for something. i tried following the post at hofo to change it but it doesn't work for this rom. any ideas?

the other problem is the voicemail symbol is always on even though i have no new messages. i suppose i could go into the registry and turn it off but then it will probably never turn back on or turn back on after reboot.

both are minor problems i can live with for the stability of this rom.
[HTC Excalibur] jbleasdale:
FWIW I updated using Vista Ulitmate and the latest Mobile Device Center.

Worked just fine and didn't need to follow any other steps.
[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
Get More....

It seems most leaked roms show Get More... as the network. I tried the leaked WM6 on my Blackjack and it did the same thing. This may mean that the phone will not allow you to select a network manually, or download the list of Preferred Networks. (Found under Settings<Phone<Networks, then Menu. Please try it and see if it works.

For the Voicemail, you could call your number from another phone, leave a message, and then retrieve and delete it from your cellphone. This will often prompt the network to send your phone a 'clear' voicemail signal.

Let us know if the above worked....
[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
WAP Network in POP3 Account Settings

Thanks all again for the response. Just to clarify, is 'WAP Network' actually available as a setting in the POP set up? I do not mean in the 'Network Settings', but when an e-mail account it set up, can you select 'WAP Network' under 'Advanced Server Settings', 'Network Connections'. With the T-Mobile official rom you can only select 'Work' or 'The Internet'.

I would really appreciate it if you can confirm the above for me - if it's there then I'm off to imeicheck for a CID unlock on my Dash!!!!
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
Choices are:

Work

Internet

"WAP Network" option is unvailable :(
[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
Well, that's not good. looks like we need some hacking to reenable the option. Seems like MS must be in on the conspiracy....... thanks for checking. I'll just stick with the T-Mo rom, unless there is anything earthshattering with this new rom......??
[HTC Excalibur] Bugs74:
I thought that the option WAP only appeared when you've configured a WAP connection...
[HTC Excalibur] esmith:
Anyone figure out how to get the IU Test only stuff off the start up yet??

Would love that gone! haha.
[HTC Excalibur] cinimod1000:
I don't think so. WM5 used to have all the options, but it seems that every WM6 version I have seen (including Blackjack) omits "WAP Network". I think 1) MS is trying to get "Standard" closer to "Professional" and 2) The carriers carry a lot of weight and want to make it difficult for us cheapskates..

I can make it work, using the T-Zones $5.99 plan here in the US, by creating multiple GPRS settings (two), and multiple Proxy settings (three). This way the Dash will connect to Exchange Server, POP accounts, the Web, etc, using both WiFi and Edge, without having to change a setting anytime.

BUT the consequence is that latency is longer - the Dash actually takes some time to find the correct connection.....WM5 was MUCH faster, without needing all these settings.

Oh well, I suppose I need to start thinking about spending more money on my data connection, although I still think it's expensive for what you get. Hmm
[HTC Excalibur] jackyyuenmobile:
After install the new ROM, can not do activesync.

I check the device, Activesync --> Connections -->

it show Synchornize all PCs using this connection " 'USB " while before is " USB " without the " ' "

any idea ??
[HTC Excalibur] jsp_m:
Hmm I have it when installing MMSC settings.. and new GPRS

ActiveSync problem guy - no problems here, works like a charm. Try disabling the advanced networking capability during USB sync
