I have the image corrupt error too....

How do I get a different file? I downloaded the file twice and get the same error. I am running a T-Mobile Dash with WM 6. Is this a case where I should wait for Microsoft to make the upgrade available? I heard about the upgrade from Microsoft but they do not have the upgrade available through their web site. I get as far as the upgrade itself on the computer and the Dash but it does not progress past a few percent then errors out saying the file is corrupt.
[HTC Excalibur] hedgy2136:
Did you run SDA_Applicationunlock before trying to reflash your phone? This is my first post here and I've had my Dash for just 2 days, but I got it the first time I tried and have done it a few other times just to check out the differences between other releases. I've read in this thread where others who got your error failed to run the unlocker first.
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
Hi everyone,

I just bought an Excalibur over the weekend. It's a US T-Mobile Dash. I want to upgrade to the WinMo 6.1 ROM. It came with a T-Mobile WM6 ROM.

Do I need to do the CID unlock? It sounds like I do. That being the case, which one should I use? The SPL Flash seems like the best bet since I don't have to do it every time... has anyone had bad experiences doing this?

I'm sorry if this sort of question has been answered a million times... there's like 22 pages in this thread.
[HTC Excalibur] satru:
do that, for my worked, IS SIMPLE

I have HTC s620,excalibur,t-mobil dash,wherever

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

you need

-activesync

-SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip

-SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab

-(in my case ) RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v20a.zip

1-install activesync and connect the phone to pc.

2-prepare folder with unziped SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip and other folder with unziped RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v20a.zip

3- run SDA_ApplicationUnlock and press unlock botton.

4-open you phone folder and copy the file SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab to phone to mydocument IN THE PHONE.

5- go to IN THE PHONE to explorer and run SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab and will install it.

6- turn off the phone and turn on.

7-in the folder created with RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v20a have to run auto.bat this will open dos windows , follow instruction

8- remember some step is in the phone and other in the dos windows.

9-the phone tell you that need reboot and wake up un blank and without usb connections, it is normal . FOLLOW INSTRUCCION .

10. WHEN FINISH FLASH 100% WILL REBOOT WITH NEW INTERFACE.

REMEMBER:FOLLOW INSTRUCCION WHEN YOU BE IN DOS WINDOWS

gOOD LUCK

My tmobile dash wont flash...error 270 help
[HTC Excalibur] snonskate69:
tmobile dash LOCKS UP

OK- but after i run the cmd screen and follow the steps on my phone, it goes white and then locks up...and when the flashing programs starts it gives me a not connected error....what now?
[HTC Excalibur] satru:
When you phone goes white , it lose the connections with activesync, is normal , only you have to wait for windows detect the new connections of your phone, that is usb directly with you pc, why? because the part of activesync software that have to be in your phone was cleaned and now you connection is for usb, when it happened the next step, that is open the program for flash to you phone, will working ok

good luck
[HTC Excalibur] mrblack:
Can you also unlock your phone with this?
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
What type of unlocking do you speak of? (Application, CID, or SIM)
[HTC Excalibur] mrblack:
Hi there.

I was wondering can you do SIM unlock with this?

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
You can do a SIM unlock one of two ways:

1) Go to www.imei-check.com (it'll cost you though)

2) Request your SIM unlock code from your customer care center for FREE (if you're a T-Mo customer)
[HTC Excalibur] Icecold54:
what are some good roms that work with the excalibur? I had a HTC Wizard and i had the TNT rom on it, but i dont know exactly how the rom compatibility works.

I just used the new Excalibur USPL on a OEM HTC S620 that I originally patched with the VOX USPL (like a dummy) and I was able to update the rom with no problem. That being said, wifi still doesn't work, but I think that'll be resolved soon. Thank you Jocky and everybody else for your hard work.

This is awesome, worked like a charm. Just flashed my HTC branded device from the S620 WM6 ROM to the T-Mo Dash WM6 ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] :
Edited: this didnt fix the wifi issue for my dash with the russian rom

. now that we have gotten this far. i will suggest something thats probably been suggested before, getting the htc computable linux disto on this thing. ill give up features just to run linux because i have seen the speed of linux development and adoption on many platforms

I just tried this method on my Rogers S621 using the new HTC S620 ROM. My device is now just sitting at the blue and green "Windows Mobile" screen. Any ideas? It's looking like I bricked my phone, although there were no errors in the install or anything.

It's now at the "Cold Boot Config" screen, and configuring the device. Phew!

I tested it and it works fine! :) Just one thing - I had unlocked my device fully using the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager and it didn't work, so I did a complete hard reset and used SDA unlocker. Then it worked perfectly. Interestingly it stayed on a plain white screen for the 10 minutes during flashing. Thanks once again people!
[HTC Excalibur] xpe12342003:
Bloody Brilliant!

Great work! This saved me a long drawn-out support call with HTC. I bought an HTC branded S620 from Amazon a while back. It was supposedly unlocked, but turned out not to be. I downloaded the WM6 upgrade directly from HTC's support site, but when I tried to flash the S620, I got the familir "unkown device" error. This fixed the problem though. I gues it was CID locked after all. The only difference that I saw when flashing was that instead of my screen going black and dim, it went white and bright. Spooked me, but it flashed with no problem. Thanks again!!!!

A quick question: What does the Linux penguin have to do with the app? You really got my hopes up with making Linux available on HTC devices!
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
I'm glad it worked so well for you :)

The tool used to load the USPL is called Haret.

It's indeed a Linux bootloader, but for the purpose of loading the USPL it was modified by pof and a few other brilliant minds.

Cheers

[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
I have updated the first post. You can now also flash the USPL :D

OK,

I've tried, but no luck.

Can someone who's done this and has been successful please explain to me step by step.

I know i tried as described, and i can't get the ROM to flash.

So i know there is a step that is missing.

I have win xp os on computer and dash with WM6 t-mobile upgrade.

I want to upgrade to HTC.. :)

[HTC Excalibur] _PaPaUpA_:
guys my battery drained out very quickly, how i can fix that?
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
this is the wrong thread for that, but here you find a possible solution
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
First off, Thank you JOCKY! Kparik, I just flashed my T-Mobile Dash to the Russian Rom and everything works great so far including my Wi-Fi right off the bat. My phone was NOT CID unlock and it was NOT Sim Unlock neither. I haven't tried any other languages like the WWE/German WM6 because I've heard the Russian Rom version is stable as it is. First off, just download the SDA Application Unlock & the Excalibur USPL CID Bypass. After connecting your dash to ActiveSync, run SDA Application Unlock. Click Remove Lock and it should pop up an internal error (or at least it did for me) then the next window dialog box will say "SDA successfully unlocked". Turn off your phone and again power it on until your Dash is sync to ActiveSync (if you removed the USB cable, just plug in back into your dash). Go the to the Excalibur USPL Folder and open up the USPL.bat file. Press Enter "4x" and wait until your Dash screen ask for confirmation to run ItsUtils.dll program and just say Yes. Your next screen should ask you about the Haret.exe. Again, you click yes. Now going back to USPL.bat command prompt, the instructions tell you to "now disable USB connection........" and your screen will show Linux. BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, the instructions SAY you need to disable USB CONNECTION from ACTIVESYNC. This is NOT THE CASE. After you say "Yes" to running HARET.EXE file then it boots to a linux screen, it will automatically disable your Dash to Microsoft Activesync. At this point, run the ROM version you want (in my case, the Russian WM6) and it should work. I hope this helps.

Successfully flashed german O2 XDA Cosmo to HTC S620

Hey guys .. thanks a lot for the free CID-unlock .. I love you ;)

I managed to flash my XDA Cosmo WM5 to HTC S620 WM6 ..

Regarding the problems kparikh82276 had, I can say that I did not work for me the first try too .. I already thought, I've bricked my phone.

After doing all the steps till the penguin was displayed, ActiveSync was disabled and the ROM Update stopped with "could not detect device" ...

Trembling with fear I had to reset my device to find out, that the old WM5 still booted and worked like before. Then I tried it several other times with the same problems.

Finally I started all over again from the beginning (hard reset, app unlock, copy files, execute CID bypass) and suddenly it worked out. I had also used another USB-port. I did deactivate the Active Sync connection like written in the HOWTO, but nevertheless the ROM update found my device.

Yeehaah !!

I have a dash 5.0 and its not taking the upgrade

I did the steps in this thread, and now Im trying to install 6.0 rom, is this thread for tmobile dash as well?

[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
what effect does this have on your device when deleting? is the file not required for anything?
[HTC Excalibur] aferreiro:
I tried last night but no luck. As the incial procedure says, i tried disabling usb connection (in vista) and the bootloader update before the new ROM. I'll try with you procedure, installing directly the new ROM. without the bootloader (Excalibur-USPL-RUU) first.

Just a couple of questions:

What OS do you use? I have vista on my laptop and I read in other post than sometimes the update doesn't work with vista.

Is it posible to flash de official ROM or must I use de WWE? I have the official one downloaded form htc. My phone is a S621 with Telcel (Mexico), but it reports a S620, and HTC gives me S620 update in their webpage.

Thanks, I'm impacient to have WM6 already running in my new toy!!! :D :D :D
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Vista is a problem. There is a thread about that here
[HTC Excalibur] _PaPaUpA_:
jockyw2001 we loss the wifi forever or you are close to find a solution???
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
1) Connect your T-Mobile Dash to ActiveSync

2) Run SDA Application Unlock and Click Remove Lock and close it after it says "SDA successfully unlocked"

3) Reboot/Shutdown your T-Mobile Dash and remove the SD Card if you have one.

4) Turn on your Dash and follow Step #1 again. (Wait until your phone finishes loading everything and it's idle and ready for you to use)

5) Now run Uspl.bat and press enter 4x when they ask you to press enter to continue (click on yes IF two window dialogs ask you for permission to run haret/ItsUtils.dll program)

6) On your 5th enter, your screen should act weird(Linux Logo/ Green Command Prompt/ Fuzzy Colors/ etc) then suddenly go black. This should automatically have DISABLE your connection between your Dash and ActiveSync.

7) Do not close the Uspl.bat just yet. Your screen right now should be black like some say or WHITE in my case. Run the prefer ROM (HTC RUS/GER/WWE/etc) and it will verify your smartphone information and then about 20seconds later, you get to UPDATE it. It does not show Image Version and it does not show what current rom version you are about to update neither.

Note:

After your screen turns white/black, run the GER/WWE/RUS/ immediately afterwards.

If everything goes right for you until you get ERROR[264] Connection, don't be discourage. Try again because I kept on doing it over 3-4x to finally get it working. You don't have to SDA Unlock it again once you did it the first time. Just start from the Step 3 again. With the method I told you, I have seriously done this 10x before I actually post my way of doing it and I've been quite successful.

I'm using Win XP Professional aferreiro so I don't know about Vista compatibility with this whatsoever. Unless I'm wrong WWE version is the official WM6 ROM from HTC. If you are talking about T-Mobile official ROM since you are Mexico, I can't test it because I'm with T-Mobile and I don't have to CID Unlock to flash their Roms that they release. I have test it using WWE/RUS/GER/FRA WM6 ROM and I will soon download SPA version to test my method again.
[HTC Excalibur] aferreiro:
I've read in other threads that you may have continuous rebooting issues if you leave SD or SIM cards inside the phone during the update. As you say, you must take off the SD card, but... is it necessary to take out the SIM too? I guess it's possible to upgrade and even better without a SIM card (preventing an incoming call). Do you take the SIM out too?
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
Yes, many people have mentioned SD card Reboot issue and that is why I recommend that if you do have a MIcroSD in your Dash, take it out in Step 3. As for the SIM card issue, I've never heard of it. I never took out my SIM in any of the rom updates nor have I ever consider it and everything has worked just fine. You don't have to take out the SIM to disconnect your cell service from the phone. All you have to do is put the phone in Flight Mode if you don't want to be interrupt by any calls.
[HTC Excalibur] trexxcrap:
this worked awsome for me....and im on my wi-fi right now with the htc wm6 rom and i have a tmo dash.
[HTC Excalibur] aferreiro:
Languages??

Anybody knows which laguages are included in WWE ROM? It's almost twice the size of SPA version, and I'm not sure if it's worth to switch to WM6 loosing spanish on my smartphone and space.

Anyway, I'm still trying with SPA version with no results beyond 3%. Maybe I'll try to update it using some kind of high-pressure USB to see if it goes further... :p :p
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
This has been discussed in the other WM5 to WM6 Upgrade thread. The WWE version has all the language pack installed which is why it takes much more space. If you want Spanish on your phone then you should stick with your SPA rom. If you prefer English, use the RUS/GER rom than just change the language in the Settings. There is a step by step on how to do that in that guide. Do you get stuck with the Invalid Error after 3%? If so, than you are doing something wrong or the rom you have downloaded is not working. I'll try to look around for the rom and try it myself later.
[HTC Excalibur] tramuyo:
i've tried SPA rom and works like a charm, dont know how u find problems?

you were right unknow123456. After trying several times, I finally was able to update to WM6! It's just a matter of try and try and try and try... Right now my phone is stucked in the new Windows Mobile bootup screen (I read it may take 5 to 10 minutes). I was able to load the SPA ROM. Soon I'll post if my wifi works, and a link to SPA rom so anyone could use it.

Thank you for your support. Anytime you want, I own you a beer (in Tampico, Mexico, of course...). :D

[HTC Excalibur] w4rchild:
he USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.

So if my Excalibur is branded, i have to pay to unlock the sim?

Cuz i tried two or tree times already and nothing happens,
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
You do not need to SIM UNLOCK the phone in order to install any of the HTC WM6 Roms. The reason why the author stated this is because he does NOT anyone to get confused that this method will also unlock your SIM to use with other carriers. You just need to follow the guide to TEMPORARY unlock the CID and then you should be able to FLASH any Rom that you will like. The KEY is to keep TRYING. It doesn't matter if you have the O2 XDA Cosmo, Excalibur, HTC S620, and/or T-Mobile Dash. It's all the SAME PHONE. If it works for one, it'll work for ALL. Keep trying by following my steps. After you get the go AHEAD to flash any ROM by the .bat instructions (no errors, the whole process should be smooth), flash the ROM.
