Orange SPV E600 - Cannot Get it to Work!

Hi,

I've tried this about 15 times now and I seriously cannot get this to work.

I have a Orange SPV E600 (UK)...

When I run the SDA Appication Unlock it says "Phone is not unlockable" and then says "SDA successfully unlocked". Does that mean that the phone is already Application unlocked or that it cannot be unlocked?

I've then rebooted the SPV, run USPL.bat:

**********************************************************

C:\Downloadz\E600 Unlock\Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS>pause "now disable USB connections in activesync and start a MTTY session or use RUU to flash any ROM"

Press any key to continue . . .

**********************************************************

I'm unable to apply USPL RUU or the HTC S620 ROM's

I think it has something to do with this:

"Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?

try restarting your device, or restart activesync

or maybe your device is application-locked."

Does anybody have any ideas why this would fail... I have followed all the steps, even tried copying the dll manually.

Also when is says disable USB in Active Sync, why would you want to do that? If I disable it then I cannot apply the ROM as it give me a connection error!?

Please please help...

Cheers!
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
w4rchild, please post what everything says in your USPL.bat file as it seems many people have problems from that point on. You don't have to do anything to the .bat file when it says "pause execute SPL now - screen should turn nearly black." You are suppose to press enter then you should see a Linux screen following a white or black screen or the official . From this point on, you are suppose to just flash the ROM. As for sylex, the reason why you can't seem to get it working is because like you said it has something to do with "itsutils.dll ". You are not suppose to get an error in this part

"C:\Downloadz\E600 Unlock\Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS>psetmem.exe -f -p 0x10000000

USPL1.11.nb

Copying C:\Downloadz\E600 Unlock\Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS\itsutils.dll to WCE:

\windows\itsutils.dll

Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?

try restarting your device, or restart activesync

or maybe your device is application-locked."

It's most likely that your phone hasn't been successfully unlocked and I really don't know why it's not working for your Orange SP since I'm from the US and I'm not familiar with UK restrictions on their phone. You aren't suppose to get an error at all after you click Remove Lock. It is suppose to automatically pop up a new dialog stating "SDA successfully unlocked. PLEASE REBOOT SDA NOW!. Find out why you can't complete Step #1 first before running the USPL. bat.
[HTC Excalibur] w4rchild:
I will post my screens step by step. on Windows XP SP2 in a few minutes.
[HTC Excalibur] w4rchild:
This is what I got in the BAT.
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
What happens to the screen on your Dash after you see the Linux screen? Because at this point, your Dash should automatically be disconnected from ActiveSync and just become recognized as a removable disk drive and this is all done automatically before you update your ROM. Your screen is suppose to go black then possibly white like it froze.
[HTC Excalibur] w4rchild:
Yesterday, the dash, disconnected from the active sync, screen turn in linux and stay like that... i have to remove the battery to pull up again de smartphone.

Then i remove the usb connection in active sync, but the RUU does not recognize the smart o there is not connection between.
[HTC Excalibur] Pyrazol:
Got a problem too

Hey, I just joined. Nice forum.

I just tried to use USPL.bat, and here's my problem:

I get to the white screen, but then, the AS-Connection is lost, and apparently, my PC tries to connect the phone as a "removable disk drive" as you say, but fails (I hear this beep-beep-beep sound that Windows XP plays by default when a USB-Device-Connection has failed).

Anyone have any idea what I can do here? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Here you have it:

HTC_Excalibur_WM6_SPA_ROM

Regards.

Pedro. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] w4rchild:
If I reconnect the USB ACTIVE SYNC, the RUU, would work, BUT, seems that the image is corrupted :(

I Download from here.
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
Okay. First off, re-download whatever ROM you wish to update your phone with. If you re-read my steps, I did not use the Rom Update Utility at all. I only used the USPL.bat w/ the required files(in the zip) and the ROM itself. Once all the steps in the USPL.bat are completed, your screen is suppose to kick into the LINUX screen then go black/white. If you are stuck in the Linux screen, remove the battery and try again. I also encounter this problem before.

As for Pyrazol, it's possible you have a usb connection problem. Try using a different USB port with no other usb devices attached to the other free USB. Your ActiveSync IS SUPPOSE to disconnect itself from your DASH and your OS is suppose to detect it as a removable disk drive even though your screen is either black or white.
[HTC Excalibur] w4rchild:
I did it! ... it was flashed, but the rom did not upgrade to windows mobile 6.0

still the configurations on my excalibur, but i can see a red letters when a reboot the phone.Like the rom version was changed. But i don't any change, and even i check the version still 5.0. :( What should i load ?
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
Are you sure it's flashed because it doesn't sound like it to me. Have you ever upgraded a ROM before? You are suppose to be in bootloader mode if you have successfully copied the rom at 100%. This screen has a couple of line bars which is color RED/GREEN/BLUE/etc. I can't remember exactly all the colors right now. Then so on and so forth until you hit a WM6 logo and it seems like it's frozen but it's really not. It's just installing everything and it might take up to 5-10 minutes. Did you experience any of this? If you have an AIM SN, let me know and we can talk directly.

update HTC 621

It sems to be stuck on the start up screen, so i hope it is just installing also. Getting worried now!!

Everything works perfect thanks including WIFI :-)
[HTC Excalibur] Pyrazol:
Thanks for the Reply.

You mean disconnecting ALL other USB devices? That's going to be rather difficult... my keyboard as well as my mouse are USB devices. I might just try another USB Port tonight without disconnecting the other devices, and if that won't work, I will probably have to use my laptop, which I am kinda scared of, since it sometimes crashes without warning -.-
[HTC Excalibur] w4rchild:
Guys, WORK PERFECT! U JUST NEED TO TRY A FEW TIMES A CHOOSE THE CORRECT ROM to install.

Thanks UNKNOW!!
[HTC Excalibur] trexxcrap:
okay here is goes....

so my cell company (suncom) got bought out by tmobile so i would like to go back to the tmobile wm6 rom instead of the htc wm6 (i have a tmo dash). ive tried everything to get it to go back but i cant get it to...any help? I can get it to go the white screen and everything but when i run the tmobile dash rom it always says connection error. UGH SO FRUSTRATING! :) help? please
[HTC Excalibur] w4rchild:
Keep trying, remove battery and start over again, until connects you.

I CAN CHANGE THE KEYMAP :( the total commander does not work
[HTC Excalibur] trexxcrap:
im on my 8th try hahaha....it will not do it

Does anyone knows if i can remove from the RUSSIAN ROM, the UI TEST ONLY start screen?

HTC621 upgrade

Hi,

Ok the phone seems to work perfectly including WIFI the only problem is MSN it does not get my mails and evn though I see the contacts online it will not let me speak to them it says no WIFI connection even though it is working perfectly. Any idea's?

Lyndon
[HTC Excalibur] Lyndon1:
do we give a ****?

Why do you have to mention about a company you once had who gives a ****?

Or am I missing the whole point here?

:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] grokdesigns:
It worked well for me on my Dash, except I had to do each step in the batch file manually and then manually run the haret application on my phone. Otherwise, the upgrade to the HTC ROM went smoothly. I was also using Windows Vista.
[HTC Excalibur] darkkoushirou:
Hi! I just joined cos of many problems ^^;

One of them is the following:

When I want to flash my Dash, I get Linux Bootloader, then white "freeze like" screen and the Dash disconnects itself from AS. BUT then nothing happens. The Dash is not recognized as a "removable disk" or anything else. There are NO other USB Devices connected to my PC PLUS I've tried that on the third computer now for MULTIPLE times each (Everytime WinXP).

Is there anything I can do to make WinXP recognize my Dash as a removable disk drive? :(

I hope someone has an idea ^^;
[HTC Excalibur] Pyrazol:
@unknown123456:

Thanks, changing the USB-Port solved the problem. I just used another one, and it worked fine, even without disconnecting the other devices.

@darkkoushirou: Seems we had the same problem... have you tried other USB-Ports on the same computer? I merely switched ports, and it worked immediately.
[HTC Excalibur] trexxcrap:
.............?
[HTC Excalibur] trexxcrap:
dude wtf

i was explaining my problem...chill out.

...pms
[HTC Excalibur] darkkoushirou:
Nope, I tried nearly every port at least twice. I even rebooted my pc multiple times...
[HTC Excalibur] Pyrazol:
Hmm. That's really odd... did you by any chance notice what sound your computer plays when the phone screen turns white?

When it didn't work for me, I noticed that at the exact same moment as the screen turned white, Windows played the "ActiveSync-Disconnection" sound, directly after that the "USB-Device-Disconnection" sound, and finally the "device connection failed" sound (which are defined under Start->Control Panel).

Listening to those sounds could provide a clue as to what Windows is trying to do. If the same thing that happened to me happens to you too, there is probably a good chance that there is something wrong with the USB-port(s).

Well, at least that's what I think. I haven't had much to do with this sort of thing though, so... :p
[HTC Excalibur] darkkoushirou:
One of the foirst things I do, when I install an Windows based OS on a PC for myself is turning of the annoying sound shemes :p

But I turned it on again and tried it... And it only gives me the "AS disconnected" sound. (Yes, I rebooted before trying)

Uhm, but I don't understand your "USB disconnected" sound... From all the Smartphones ever connected to my PC, only my Omikron was detected as an USB device outside AS... All the other devices just directly connect to Active Sync.

Should I try deinstalling AS, connect the Dash, manually start the linux bootloader in hope of winxp detecting the dash as a removable storage device? Would be the last thing I could think of :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] Pyrazol:
Hehe :D Well I've been too lazy to get rid of it.

Well, it is not actually detected as a USB device, just the sounds play. The .WAVs are called "Windows-XP-hardware insert.wav" and "Windows-XP-hardware remove.wav". But maybe that's just my PC, I dunno, it's been in need of formatting very badly ;)

Hmm, I don't think that would work, really. I'd wait until someone responds who has a little more knowledge and experience in these things than I do.
[HTC Excalibur] darkkoushirou:
Yup, didn't work. Now I learned that every ROM Update Program needs Active Sync installed or it fails instandly. Well, it was worth a try...
[HTC Excalibur] stevemw:
I'm curious -- have you tried running the upgrade program provided by T-Mobile?
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Connection Error

Also reinstall Active Sync 4.5 on your PC!

Hi, how can I know if my phone CID is unlocked already?

When I copy USPL1.11.nb to startup, and next program want to update itsutils.dll, however, it told me "could not update...."

Is that normal???

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] bubbanivich:
I'm encoutering the same problem. As additional info, I'm trying this on Rogers HTC621, the phone does get the linux logo/screen after executing haret.exe but the screen does not turn white and when running the ROM update, I get Error 260: Connection. Any ideas. Also, almost forgot to mention, SDA_ApplicationUnlock reports that the device is unlockable.
[HTC Excalibur] jumran:
I had the exact same problem on My Rogers S621. The reason for the error is that your phone is not being properly application unlocked. First download and install this CAB file from Rogers. After installing the Cab file run the app unlocker and reboot your phone. Your phone should now be fully application unlocked and you should be able to run the bypass without any errors. For more info and step-by-step instructions for updating the Rogers S621, see here.
[HTC Excalibur] adot111:
How can I install this CAB file from Rogers??

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] jumran:
Just copy the file to the phone and run it from the phone.
[HTC Excalibur] adot111:
Hi, thanks, now I pass that process.

Now it ask me to execute SPL now

I executed HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe and mtty

now the screen is frozen on :jumping to preloader...

pray......

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] bubbanivich:
Thanks

jumran, thanks for your help. It took me several tries, kept getting Error 620: connection but then finally I was able to connect and update..... all looks well so far.... thanks again
[HTC Excalibur] bubbanivich:
Keyboard mapping

Do you know how to change the keyboard mapping? The FN character mapping is off. I wansn't able to find this as a setting in WinMobile 6. Oh and i flashed using the HTC HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
[HTC Excalibur] speedyj:
Great write-up. I just upgraded my Rogers S621 to WM6 without a hitch.

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] jumran:
Download and place this text file into the Windows directory of your phone and reboot the phone. You might need to use a program like total commander to overwrite your old file. Once that is done, the keypad works normally.
[HTC Excalibur] bubbanivich:
Thanks again, done.
[HTC Excalibur] travisc:
this text file fixes the @ sign being the foreign L pound sign or whatever?
[HTC Excalibur] jumran:
Yes it fixes that glitch.
[HTC Excalibur] Pyrazol:
It's not a bug... it's a feature! ;)
[HTC Excalibur] jumran:
I don't see why it would be a feature when the regional settings are set to US English and not UK English.
[HTC Excalibur] Pyrazol:
Well, that was more of a joke, you know...

http://www.rustylime.com/show_article.php?id=225

But it seems to me that your "@"-button might be the "£"-button on some other version of the HTC S620. If you'd switch regional settings, the button still stays the same. It would at least irritate ME if pressing my "£"-button would all of a sudden give me a "@".
[HTC Excalibur] travisc:
the "security on/off" file in this thread... I run that from my PC, not my mobile device... correct?

n00b question I know... lol :)
[HTC Excalibur] travisc:
Also, i don't need anything to overwrite that keyboard mapping file do I? just go to it in internet explorer and overwrite it?
[HTC Excalibur] jamwong:
I am trying to update my S621 to the newest firmware but I get a invalid vendor ID. Funny thing is that my phone is a S621 and the firmware I am using is for the S621. The only carrier for the HTC S621 is Rogers (Canada) but the phone was purchased from someone in the states!

I purchased it unlocked on ebay and the firmware shows it to be S621 and when I registered it to HTC it shows up as a S621.

Anyone have any idea? I also tried to use the CID unlocker program but the phone does not reconize what a .bat file is... :\ fustrating!
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
.bat files should be executed on your pc

Anyone have a rapidshare link to the Rogers WM6 ROM. I get an error on the Roger's website when I go to the upgrade link.

Man, folks I am having the hardest time updating this rom on my phone, I have WM6 installed and I tried the SDA unlock on the DASH but nothing.I know Iam about to sound like a total noob but I am using the files in the beginning of this thread but it says Error 294 invalid vendor id?? Can some one please offer up assistance? Thank you in advance sort of like a step by step deal.

PS. I know I will get flamed for this but I am usually pretty good at modding my Dash but this new rom has me stomped.
[HTC Excalibur] Shadalope:
Disconnecting Early

I have tried this numerous times but everytime I get to the step in Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS.zip where it says to activate SPL my Dash disconnects from ActiveSync before I can deactivate manually. From there the RUU 1.11 will not recognize my device and it fails.

What can I do from here? Does anyone else have a problem with this disconnection or is it supposed to happen and I am missing a step?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Excalibur] Pyrazol:
Shadalope: I had the same issue. Try a different USB-Port (that worked for me) or another computer.

Hi i got a T-Mobile UK MDA Mail which is the Excalibur in the uk. Upgraded my ROM to T-Mobile USA WM6 working a treat except got the same issue as the others with the wifi. But i think T-Mobile UK may have taken the WiFi card out of my device as they are known for that type of bull s**t to promote sales on other devices. If anyone know's lemme know :)

+ thanks Jockey worked really smoothly

DUN on Palm Zire 72

I used the DUN patch from a prior post on my Dash and paired up the Zire ok, but the Zire can't talk to the Dash like it should (there is a Phone Test dialog which must work for the DUN to work, and it doesn't). So I have not been able to get connected to the T Mobile GPRS. I formerly used an SDA and also Nokia 6600 which both talked to the Zire. There was some phone software listed in the connections setups for these two but don't see anything for the Dash. Have tried myriad combinations and the script Tmobile gave me, byt all I get is a timeout and/or error message. Anyone have any suggestions?
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racergo:
This is not the correct unlock for what you are attempting. This procedure will allow the phone to accept different versions of the ROM, but has nothing to do with your sim card. You need to look for a sim unlock, which so far is not free (unless Tmobile will give it to you), but there are people in this community working on it.
[HTC Excalibur] caramelzappa:
I'm trying to get this to work but the rogers program can't find my phone. After I do this, will I still be able to use the dash as an internet connection over t-mobiles service? What about the hotspots program?

EDIT: Got the rogers rom installed successfully. Had to use the t-mobile wireless configurator to get internet working, but it works. Phone works fine as a modem too. The only thing I can't figure out is if I can get the hotspots program back on it. If not, it's not too much of a loss, but it would be nifty. Thanks everyone.
