Don't you make a backup before you try rooting ? If yes, restore that.

If no, post fastboot getvar all result (without serial & imei no.) then we'll see what actually you need to do
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Does this mean you are unsure whether or not you wiped system? Or does it mean you are

sure

you wiped system, but don't know if that action caused the present no-boot situation?

If you indeed wiped system, this is the OS partition. If you wiped the OS, the phone has not OS, and therefore obviously can't boot. You need to somehow restore the system partition, either with a TWRP backup (as suggested) or flashing a ROM.

I'm looking to get my kids a little better phone than a ZTE Zinger. The Zinger wouldn't be bad if I could unlock the bootlader and put CM or something on more stock on it. I'd need it to work on T-Mobile too.

I was looking at the Moto E but its still a little higher than I want to spend.

What's your thoughts or ideas?

(I use a Nexus 6 and I'm spoiled lol)

Galaxy s2 goes for about that much on ebay idk if thats better then the zinger but i do know theres lots of dev for those phones i use to have one back in the day was a awesome phone. I found a vs for have a look

[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Hi guys,

I've just implemented an Excalibur USPL which allows you to flash any Excalibur ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any *official* ROM even if your phone's model and vendor ID doesn't match. It's confirmed that you can also flash cooked ROMs :)

This SPL is based on original Excalibur 1.11 SPL but includes 3 patches:

1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)

2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID

3) Does not check signature*

(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.

This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Excalibur after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!

The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.

The USPL runs in RAM and is *not* flashed to your device, so there is no risk there. Once it runs you can run any official Excalibur ROM update utility.

The USPL does *not* permanently CID unlock your phone, like the CID unlocker from imei-check or so.

After you flashed a ROM your phone is again CID locked. Each time you wonna flash a ROM with a different model and/or vendor ID (different from your phone) or a cooked ROM, you must run the USPL again and then flash the ROM.

It's beta and untested and the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone :D

The main reason for implementing this USPL is to support the poor guys who bricked their wifi. See this thread.

But those who want to flash a device where wifi works don't need to be afraid that wifi fails after the upgrade.

EDIT:

You can now also flash the USPL allowing you to flash any unsigned (cooked ROM or ROM module, e.g. radio or OS) or signed ROM with any model/vendor ID. The USPL substitutes your SPL until you perform a full ROM update. Consider it as an extra insurance in case something goes wrong with flashing cooked ROMs or any other ROM update ! :D

Instructions:

1. Run the USPL (Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)

2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Excalibur-USPL-RUU.zip)

Have fun,

JockyW

Good job jockyw2001 ...

Let's see if the poor guys can turn the wifi back on again.
[HTC Excalibur] phlipse:
Good!!!!

Hey dude! Thats a real gooooood work!! Now I hava a free cid unlocked device WITH wifi ;) Good that i waited until someone patched this mistake... A real good Job!! I can recommend this progress of unlocking!! by the way: I had an O2 Cosmo (German) Device.. So it wors with other too.. Maybe i would like to donate a small amount... but know i don't have money.. maybe next month! Do you have a paypal account?! Thank yo very much!

Phil
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Thank you for testing and glad it works fine!

I may consider to cash in if I manage to rescue the guys who lost wifi :D

Cheers

JockyW
[HTC Excalibur] da_mayhem:
You are really a hero jocky! :) Thanks for your hard work!
[HTC Excalibur] phlipse:
Yeah thats true =)
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Phil, to avoid misunderstandings: after running the USPL your device is not permanently CID unlocked !! It is only unlocked when you run it. After you flash a ROM it is CID locked as before. So each time you wonna flash a ROM you must run USPL first.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
agreed. thanks a lot for your hard work, i appreciate it.

i'll integrate your CID Bypass in my Windows Mobile 6 guide. i hope it's ok with you - that way people won't have to pay 40 $.

the only beef i have with you is the fact that i wish you had done this 2-3 weeks earlier - that way i wouldn't have had to dish out 40 $ for my cid unlock. haha jokes :P

You're truly a hero based on the desperate need for a free cid bypass. :)

Better late then never - Thanks once again for your contribution to the forum..

[HTC Excalibur] tramuyo:
hey bro, but can we try the flashing-method to unlock our phones?? I have one here, im goin to try now!!
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Guys,

It's still far too early to celebrate a triumph...

The only one in this thread who tested was phlipse and I'm not so sure if he actually flashed a ROM. And in the other thread there are two guys who also report results which are not correct.

At least it is unlikely that you can damage your device with running the USPL.
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
If you mean SIM unlock your phone, then no it won't help you with that.
[HTC Excalibur] rubell:
i'm going to give it a try as soon as the ROM finishes downloading. i'll update the post with my results. i have a tmo wm6 rom on there now and my phone is cid locked. at least im assuming so since i get the invalid vendor id when i tried to install the generic rom last time.

EDIT:

So far so good! Looks like I am up and running on the generic ROM. Thanks Jocky!!!
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
I just got confirmed in the other thread that the USPL works fine for flashing *any* official Excalibur ROM. It's not yet sufficiently patched to flash cooked ROMs.

Some of you have problems running haret.

In the first post I have added a version based on pof's JumpSPL.

Try that if you have difficulties.
[HTC Excalibur] talwell:
After hours of testing and having nothing but problem - I have discovered that alot of the problems is caused by an incorrect reporting from SDA Application Unlocker. Although it is stating that your device is unlocked - this is not the case.

I used the SurrealNetworks Application unlocker and rebooted - flashed perfectly on the first time. This is the exact phone that was giving me problems for hours and would not flash.

Here is the SurrealNetworks Application Unlocker - copy to your device and run the .cab file. After you reboot run the process from the beginning and you should no longer have issues.
[HTC Excalibur] crimsonblake:
Just wanted to confirm that I had the exact problems listed and this solution worked for my WM6 Rogers upgrade to WM6 HTC rom.

HTC S621 bought from Suncom in the USA, issues

Ok, solved my issue and this might help anyone else who has a Suncom HTC S621 and wants to upgrade from WM5 to WM6.

I went through the runaround for a while, running into errors and such. But I am now on WM6 and have wifi.

I used the info at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=329605 and did the following.

I used the SDA Unlocker

I used the Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS- JumpSPL.zip

I used the Rogers WM5 to WM6 upgrade ROM (http://www.rogers.com/s621upgrade)

What was screwing me up was when the JumpSPL.exe is run (via the .bat file), it starts up on the phone and pops up an application 'about' screen...you have to hit the middle button to clear it (on mine, the onscreen 'OK/Finish' button wasn't visible on the screen) to start the app (resulting in the white screen). If you dont have your display timeout setting set longer, you might not be realizing it's there.

Once I cleared that info box away, the screen went white (as described), activesynch disconnects (as described) and I was able to run the update .exe from Rogers.

Funny how something so benign can cause you so much turmoil! :)

[HTC Excalibur] laotzu:
No connection after haret or jumpSPL

I am having the same problem. After running haret or JumpSPL, the RUU bombs out saying no connection.

I had used haret to switch from TMO WM6 to Rogers WM6 successfully but now I can't get to the new HTC. Tried SurrealNetworks AppUnlock, Rogers SP_AllowCertficateInstall and SDA Unlock before trying the SPLs.

Tried backing down to TMO WM6 and then HTC, but still doesn't work. And now I can't even get back to Rogers WM6 :(

Any advice out there?

UPDATE:

Solved my own problem... Upon trying again I noticed some strange behavior. Running SDA unlock suceeded. Running SP_AllowCertificateInstall suceeded. But Surreal AppUnlock failed to install on the TMO WM6 I was running. Further the haret indicated that the appunlock had not worked. Nothing I tried could app unlock. My only option was to reinstall the TMO WM6. After a fresh install, I could run haret successfully, and then run the latest HTC RUU... finally success!

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

is it possible to 'upgrade' from WM6 English to WM6 German (official HTC Roms)?

I have an italian/english device and I do not succeed in flashing it to German.

I have tried both Cid-bypasses, non of them work for me. I always get the Invalid Vendor ID message.

My device is app-unlocked, I controlled it with a registry editor.

One more question: it is a qwerty-device, so is it possible to change the keys with a software, should I manage to change the language somehow?

Thanks very much in advance, Guenne

Problems upgrading my S620

Hi,

I'm a novice... I have ROM version 1.27.408.1 (Italian). I did the following:

- SD application unlock

- USPL- CID BYPASS - the screen went black first, then white. Nothing was happening then, so I just rebooted it. (Was that a wrong step?)

Then I tried to run RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_Brightpoint_US_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe, but I get the following error:

ERROR [244]: INVALID MODEL ID

This update utility cannot be used for your smartphone. Please check your update utility.

What's wrong? I recently bought this S620 and immediately upgraded it to WM6 with no hassle, but now I want to try your upgrade. I'd be glad to make a Paypal contribution if could make it work!

Thanks in advance for your help

[HTC Excalibur] peoplayer:
Great tutorial - some newbie problems

I have a HTC 621 which I upgraded to the Rogers version of WM6 suggested earlier in this thread. I would - however like to upgrade to the latest HTC Rom (also available in this thread). Partly because I feel the VOIP-functionality is missing (correct me if I'm wrong or if SIP isn't included in the HTC Rom), partly because I can't use my camera (no cam program). And I also don't really appreciate the rogers animated logo on the phone everytime I turn it on or off.

So I used this excellent tutorial and followed the steps. It worked perfectly.

When I do it again (to load the HTC Rom), I run into problems with the SDA Unlocker. It says my phone isn't unlockable. Is this because it has been unlocked already? I can't run the Surreal unlocker, as it says I haven't got permission to do so... which leads me to think that the SDA Unlocker does not work??

Anyway, when I run the bat file and come to haret.exe, the application just shows lots of lines regarding an exception, and then returns to the WM6 screen. No way to get to the white screen as I did before...

Anyone have this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Otto,

Mexico

i'm pretty much in the same boat as you.. i flash from the tmo wm6 rom to the rogers rom and now i can't flash to the htc rom.. i keep getting some kind of connection error though..

everything before running the rom goes fine.

this is the error:

ERROR [260] : CONNECTION

This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.

Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.

anyone know how to fix this?

[HTC Excalibur] canoeshoe:
i switched rom from WM6 to WM5 Brightpoint. after haret installs, my phone would just shut off and i would do a soft reset.

after 5 tries, it worked. i switched usb ports from a usb hub to the usb port from I/O slots. I also went to power management settings and set "display time out" and "backlight time out on AC" to [never].

When it works, the screen turns black and stays white afterwards. The host computer should then detect a removable drive and that should give you the greenlight to install whichever roms u like.

There is also no need to disable the usb connection as said in the instructions, i believe the author should update that part. When the phone is in suspended state and rdy for a new rom, activesync no longer recognizes it as a phone. However, the phone is still recognized by the host computer.
