Under jocky's patient guide, finally I find my wi-fi back. Great thx to jocky, he is a really briliant guy:)

one thing I should mention is that if some guys have removed WiFiInit.lnk in startup folder in order to save power previously, U should add that link into that folder again:)

Excalibur Wifi unbrick procedure

Excalibur Wifi unbrick procedure

======================

1. make a dump of bk_02_0005.img on your sd card with bkondisk (a howto is in this post under Update4)

2. open bk_02_0005.img in a hexeditor

3. select a block of 0x300 bytes at offset 0x83C00 and clear this area (i.e. fill it with bytes with value 0x00)

4. search for following 4 bytes from the start of the file: 5012EE00 (usually found at offset 0x47E00)

5. select a block of 0x1B9 bytes from this offset and copy them to 0x83E00 (overwrite bytes, do not insert them)

6. save the changed bk_02_0005.img

7. open both the files splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh and bk_02_0005.img in a hexeditor

8. from bk_02_0005.img select a block of 0x20000 bytes from offset 0x80000

9. copy these 0x20000 bytes to offset 0x220 of splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh (overwrite bytes, do not insert them)

10. save the changed splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh

11. flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (standard USPL)

12. flash USPL1.11-patch-GsmMfgData.nbh (phone automatically starts in tri-color mode)

13. flash splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh (phone automatically starts in tri-color mode)

14. unplug usb and pull out battery and put it back and replug usb

15. flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (standard USPL)

16. boot phone

17. if "NO SIM" or not booting flash RUU_signed-with-uspl.nbh here

(Note: make sure WiFiInit.lnk is in the startup folder of your device, otherwise Windows Mobile will not start WiFi)

Thanks to arc for pointing out the splash screen trick as used by imei-check.

Goodluck folks,

JockyW
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
Thanks Jocky.

Now i'm trying to find my wifi back!
[HTC Excalibur] seu2002:
I found something interesting! When my device is synchronized with PC(share network).wi-fi become malfunction which means I cannot connect any wi-fi AP.

If I plug out USB cable ,it works fine.

Is it resonable? Since this is the first time I enjoy wi-fi under WM6:)
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
I have my wifi back. It tooks some time but its there.

Thanks a lot guys.
[HTC Excalibur] Speigei:
Hello everybody,

I have a question concerning

How do you tell ROMUpdateUtility.exe to flash USPL1.11-patch-GsmMfgData.nbh, instead of the supplied ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh. Do I just overwrite the file?

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
Copy / Flash / Delete and copy the next file.
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
There should be only one flash file in the RUU flash utility directory. The file you want to flash has extension .nbh
[HTC Excalibur] enibig:
Thanks again Jocky.

Is there any chance we unlock our phones with this method to.

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] _PaPaUpA_:
alguien me ayuda por favor, porque con el editor hexadecimal no se nada

can i use the splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh of any other user of the forum and just make the flash???

Someone who explain these 2 steps to me please

8. from bk_02_0005.img select 0x20000 bytes from offset 0x80000

9. copy these 0x20000 bytes to offset 0x220 of splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh (overwrite bytes, do not insert them)
[HTC Excalibur] ishish9:
can some one post there modified splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh here for the htc wm6 rom.
[HTC Excalibur] rdilallo:
Okay, I must be tired or something. Step 3, where it states "select 0x300 bytes at offset 0x83C00", what exactly is "selecting 0x300 bytes?" I'm not great at editing this stuff.
[HTC Excalibur] _PaPaUpA_:
c'mon guys please help us
[HTC Excalibur] :
i agree with you
[HTC Excalibur] :
please just give us the files to flash or a detailed instruction with pictures on howto do the hex editing. i tried this for hours tonight and only got as far as the flash saying the image was corrupt. i really miss wifi. please help
[HTC Excalibur] Speigei:
Just download Hex Workshop here: http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/hw32v31.exe

Then do "CTRL+G" (selecting HEX and beginning of file) to jump to the mentioned offset (just the part after 0x).

Then select "Edit > Select Block" (selecting HEX and Size of Block) and enter the number of bytes you are supposed to select (again, just the part after 0x)

The Statusbar at the bottom also displays the offset and the selected bytes, you can use those also.
[HTC Excalibur] jt76542:
A step by step would be very helpful. I will wait because that all looks like NASA code to me. lol
[HTC Excalibur] _PaPaUpA_:
c'mon guys please help us post the modified plash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh here for the htc wm6 rom, i think is more easy for all
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
There is no generic splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh file. It must be synthezised from the dump file of your own device! Find someone who can help you doing it for you. Or send me a donation and I help you ;)
[HTC Excalibur] _PaPaUpA_:
ok jocky i make the payment and send by email my bk_02_0005.img ok???
[HTC Excalibur] ishish9:
Yes!!! I got my wi fi back. I did record the hexediting part so maybe I'll edited the video and post it on youtube.;)

It's not as hard as you think. Or maybe it is.
[HTC Excalibur] rk24dash:
Can someone shed a little more light on this. I have a dash that also says wifi drivers not loaded. I can do hex but am not the smartest on these pocket pc/smartphone devices. the prun.cpp and bdondisk file i couldnt figure out how to execute these files. I copied the files to the /windows directory but they would not run. That is the one part I could not figure out. Any help is appreciated. I can return favor on phones from the iDEN nextwork if anyone needs.
[HTC Excalibur] _PaPaUpA_:
I have my wifi back,:D :D :D ( i do it myself) thanks jocky for you hard work

Para los que hablan español

1. Haz un backup de bk_02_0005.img en tu tarjeta sd con bkondisk (solo ponerlo en la raiz de la memoria y ejecutarlo desde el movil)

2. Abre bk_02_0005.img con Hex Workshop

3. presiona ctrl+g y se abrira una pequena ventanita (una ves alli selecciona la opcion Hex y Beginning of file) escriben 0x300 y le dan a buscar

4. Una ves alli veran que el valor inicia 5271, sustituyen el 52 por 00

5. Presionas otra ves ctrl+g y busca 0x1B9 (veras que dice 6464) copia el segundo par de 64

6. Presionas ctrl+g y buscas 0x83E00 copia el 64 donde esta el 50 (sobreescribe bytes, no los insertes)

7. Guarda el cambio bk_02_0005.img

7. Abre ambos archivos splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh y bk_02_0005.img con el Hex WorkShop.

8. Desde el bk_02_0005.img presiona ctrl+g y busca 0x80000 una ves alli veras el 6166, selecciona el 61 y le das a copiar (cuando digo selecciona es que lo sombreen)

9. En el splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh presionas ctrl+g y buscas 0x220 y veras 6166, selecciona el 61 y le das a pegar (cuando digo selecciona es que lo sombreen)

10. Guarda los cambios en el splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh

11. Flashea ExcalMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (estandar USPL)

12. Flashea USPL1.11-patch-GsmMfgData.nbh (el telefono automaticamente empezara en modo tricolor)

13. Flashea splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh (el telefono automaticamente empezara en modo tricolor)

All of credit for jocky, is the master:D
[HTC Excalibur] ralay:
what can i do now?

first thank jocky,but i have a problem.i copied bkondisk.exe to "Storage Card\windows",then i did prun "\Storage Card\windows\bkondisk.exe" "\StorageCard\windows\",but there is no "bk_02_0005.img" in "\StorageCard\windows\",mine device is Dopod C720w

what can i do now,jocky
[HTC Excalibur] sphk:
i have the same device with you. Simply copy brondisk to \StorageCard and run it from your device, bk_02_0005.img will be generated in "/" together with bk_01_0005.img, bk_03_0005.img.... Copy only bk_02_0005.img and delete the others.

Got my wifi back today

BIG BIG thanks to Jockyw2001
[HTC Excalibur] Picapalo:
Gracias PaPaUpA, lo pruebo y te cuento si recupere mi WiFi !! ;)
[HTC Excalibur] rk24dash:
Which hex editor was used. Maybe that will help if I use the same one. I search those values and dont find them at the correct place with 010 editor. Thanks

[HTC Excalibur] dwgerk:
I've tried to run bkondisk from a number of location on my device (root, windows, storage), but I get the same error messge in the log file at each location:

"ERROR:kioctl(Flash, init1) - UNKNOWNERROR error initializing flash"

Any ideas, because I'm not even getting by this first step?

Instructions for The WIFI Fix, WHERE!

Guys, could you please direct me to the step by step instructions for the WIFI fix, thanks in advance guys............!
[HTC Excalibur] rk24dash:
The instructions posted on this board are good, I just have no experience with smartphones and the hex editor that is being used with jocky's method. I have done everything and flashed my phone. I think I may have messed up on the hex because wifi still dont work. Statu: drivers not loaded is all I get. I will help with what little I have learned so far. But dont bash jocky for not being more clear. This was hard work for him. :)

WiFi Connection Problem on s620

Hi all,

I have an htc s620 smatphone and today I upgrated to the wm6.

since I installed wm6, I had some problem with wifi connection. Currently it go down!

Coul you help me?!

PS: I'm installing " MoDaCo_DoNew.cab ". is it working fine?

By

Tnx,

Ordnael
[HTC Excalibur] rdilallo:
Here's what I did to fix my wifi following Jockey's instructions:

1) make a dump of bk_02_0005.img on your sd card with bkondisk.

1a) Copy bkondisk to the \Windows directoring on your phone.

1b) Execute the following from command prompt:

prun bkondisk.exe "\Storage Card"

1c) Copy \Storage Card\bk_02_005.img into a local directory for editing.

2) open bk_02_0005.img in a hexeditor (You must use Hex Workshop or the next steps won't make sense).

3) Press <CTRL>+G to bring up the Goto box. Make sure that the radio button for "HEX" and "beginning of file" are selected.

3a) Type 83C00 in the Offset field and press the Go button.

3b) Select "Edit -> Select Block" from the menu bar. Make sure that the radio buttons "HEX" and "Size of Block" are selected.

3c) Type 300 in the Block field and press the OK button.

3d) Select "Edit -> Fill" (or press <CTRL>+<INS>) to bring up the Fill Bytes dialog box.

3e) There should be a "0" in the "Fill with the following hex byte:" option. Press the OK button.

4) Press <CTRL>+G to bring up the Goto box.

4a) Type 47E00 in the Offset field and press the Go button.

5) Select "Edit -> Select Block" from the menu bar.

5a) Type 1B9 in the Block field and press the OK button. Copy selected area.

5b) Press <CTRL>+G to bring up the Goto box.

5c) Type 83E00 in the Offset field and press the Go button.

5d) Select "Edit -> Select Block" from the menu bar.

5e) Type 1B9 in the Block field and press the OK button.

5f) Right-click and paste copied area. Make sure you didn't insert the bytes.

6) Save the changed bk_02_0005.img

7) Open both the files splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh and bk_02_0005.img in Hex Workshop.

8) From bk_02_0005.img press <CTRL>+G to bring up the Goto box. Type 80000 select 0x20000 bytes from offset 0x80000

9. copy these 0x20000 bytes to offset 0x220 of splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh (overwrite bytes, do not insert them, like the above steps)

10. save the changed splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh

11. flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (standard USPL)

12. flash USPL1.11-patch-GsmMfgData.nbh (phone automatically starts in tri-color mode)

13. flash splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh (phone automatically starts in tri-color mode)

14. unplug battery and put it back

15. flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (standard USPL)

16. boot phone

I'd also recommend (for noobs and pros alike) to create three directories. Put each USPL (3 of them) in a separate directory. Copy the following files into each directory:

EnterBootloader.exe

rapitool.exe

ROMUpdateUtility.exe

RUUGetInfo.exe

RUUResource.dll

We call this staging. This way steps 11, 12, 13, and 15 won't seem so confusing. The above files listed can be taken from the ROM image flash utility (the one that you used to originally flash your s620 to WM6).

I hope these steps help. I was one of the first to break my phone, and I'm greatful for all of jockyw2001's and da_mayhem's work. Don't forget to throw some money towards jockyw2001 for his help.

This is the guide. with the first one i was screwed, but after using this one i have wifi. thanks allot man
[HTC Excalibur] charlietruong:
Why does everyone have to go through the steps to flash ur DASHES? I just downloaded Jocky's file Ecalibur-Wifi-repair.zip on page 2 of this thread then followed steps 11-15 in his instructions. Mine is working perfectly now. with WiFi, of course. Am I doing something wrong here?

11. flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (standard USPL)

12. flash USPL1.11-patch-GsmMfgData.nbh (phone automatically starts in tri-color mode)

13. flash splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh (phone automatically starts in tri-color mode)

14. unplug battery and put it back

15. flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (standard USPL)
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
In fact you cloned the WiFi configuration of someone else (I believe seu2002 or da_mayhem). Nice to know that cloning works :D

PS: please check if your IMEI has changed.
[HTC Excalibur] enibig:
Hi jockyw2001. Do you think there is any chance to sim unlock the phones cloning the simunlock part. If you make a flash i will try it for you.

Thanks again for your work.
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Yes, it would be nice to test this, but I'm afraid it may not work because afaik there is OTP in the device which is checked against the GsmMfg and Simlock data. Drop me a PM with your MSN address and we can start some tests. Make sure you have a bkondisk backup (4MB).
[HTC Excalibur] rk24dash:
I have done all of this and it still doesnt work. If my wifi is a hardware problem with the phone would it give me the same message that wifi drivers are not loaded?

My screen on a reboot has sim 3.0v in red letters on the screen. Is this correct?
[HTC Excalibur] p0lar69:
On this first flash step on my wifi dead excal

flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (standard USPL)

I get a corrupt Error [240] and the rom stays at 1.22.531.4

Soft reset done as well first

I have run SDAunlock and HTCunlocker.. what am i missing?

Dave P
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Run the USPL batch file and then flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Did u add the WifiInit.lnk in startup?
[HTC Excalibur] p0lar69:
Jocky your a stud :)

and my damn wifi works.... w00t...

Looking forward to some cool cooked roms now

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] rk24dash:
It was already in the startup folder bro. Thanks for all your help. If I get this going I am definitely making a donation. I have some cash in my paypal now.

This is the only forum on the entire web with any answers for my problem.
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
If u wonna get ur WiFi without too much pain do just this:

11. flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (standard USPL)

12. flash USPL1.11-patch-GsmMfgData.nbh (phone automatically starts in tri-color mode)

13. flash splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh (phone automatically starts in tri-color mode)

14. unplug battery and put it back

15. flash ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh (standard USPL)

No luck for me :confused: guess I have a hardware problem. :(
[HTC Excalibur] helowsa:
Wifi dead - what exactly?

When talking about dead Wifi, what exactly does it mean - Wifi does not work at all or just has certain problems?

I have two Excaliburs, Wifi does turn on an detect my home wlan, but cannot connect to it, the 'connecting' icon is displayed all the time. I did connect with other HTC phones without problems before ( Wizard, Exec, Orbit, Hermes..).

Thanks for suggestions,

D.
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
So what exactly is the problem? Can you boot into WM? Are there any error messages when the device boots up? (e.g. no calibration data or no sim)

Did u make a dump before you attempted to recover?
[HTC Excalibur] rk24dash:
I got this dash used. Everything works on it but the wifi says no driver loaded. This was only forum I found that had anything on it. Since I have followed all of these instructions and methods you have given us I am wandering if I have a hardware problem? If the wifi was broken would the drivers still load?

on the boot screen I have this:

Excalibur Pv Wifi

ONBL 1.22.0000

SPL 1.11.0000 SPE MFG

GSM 02.79.90

bme8a SIM=0

SIM 3.0v

I believe thats all that was on it. That screen dont stay on long enough to write it all down.

If there is anything special I should do to make the drivers load besides having the shortcut in the startup folder and the exe in the windows folder please let me know. Everything else works on this phone. It was like this when I got it. I did not attempt to load a Rogers rom or do any kind of cid bypass to cause this. It was this way when I got it. Without wifi this phone is useless to me.
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
Well in that case I definitely recommend to flash another ROM. Download the one I mentioned in step 17 "RUU_signed-with-uspl.nbh" here

(use the USPL CID bypass to flash it)
[HTC Excalibur] rk24dash:
Still nothing bro. When I click the Wifi it attempts to do something and then stops and when I hit settings it says status: driver not loaded, and all of the other things below there are blank. I do like that rom tho. Guess I may try and sell this thing. I give up :confused: . Any more ideas will be appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] jockyw2001:
make a bkondisk dump and send it to me (drop me a PM for my email)
[HTC Excalibur] psiess:
Has anyone figured this out. I'm stuck at this stage too.

[HTC Excalibur] rk24dash:
You need to run the application unlocker first. check here for the sda unlocker http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=329605
[HTC Excalibur] psiess:
Thanks rk24dash.

I tried the SDA app unlocker..."I get Phone is not unlockable".

Any advice?
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
Try this Application first: SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab

After that the SDA app. unlocker
[HTC Excalibur] psiess:
That was the secret. After installing SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab, I was able to run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.

After that, I successfully ran bkondisk and extracted the image files.

THANKS guys. Now on to Hex edit the image files :)

I'm wondering if it is possible to use the dash as a Wireless card, my laptop doesn't have an internal wifi card. so can I use a dash as one? if not then will just get a Usb wifi. thanks
[HTC Excalibur] :
pretty sure its a no. and make sure you get wpa 2 supported usb wifi im suprised out how many people who cal me with problems have a wifi card that wont support wpa
[HTC Excalibur] deedee19:
hmm good question. I know for a fact that you can tether your Dash via USB to your laptop and use the phone's EDGE connection for internet. I've done it before, but not with the wifi. Give it a go and try connecting your dash with your USB cable, then on your phone in the accessories folder, and run Internet Sharing. Post back your results! i'm curious.

WiFi = yay, Data = boo - preventing data when wifi not available

I was browsing the net today at a coffeehouse. I first turned on the wifi and made sure the data was off (I don't pay for internet so it's a per-Kb charge. Yuk.)

After surfing a bit, I went to turn WiFi off and saw that it was already off - and data was ON. I assume that IE couldn't find a WiFi signal and decided to use Data connection instead.

How do I prevent it from doing this? Basically, if there is no WiFi signal available, I'd rather it just not connect at all that would use it.

Cingular here, Unlocked dash running WM5 HTC rom.
[HTC Excalibur] da_mayhem:
If you don't plan to use Data Connection at all, delete all the GPRS/EDGE Settings on Start - Settings - Connections - GPRS

The SIM won't be able to connect to the Internet since there will be no GPRS settings stored on the phone..
[HTC Excalibur] nolageek:
Will SMS/MMS work then though? I have unlimited SMS/MMS, but not internet usage.
[HTC Excalibur] outphase:
MMS uses data... you have to make a choice
[HTC Excalibur] nolageek:
So there's no way to force internet explorer/opera to just use the wifi connection? That's all Im really concerned about.
[HTC Excalibur] da_mayhem:
MMS won't work but SMS will..
[HTC Excalibur] nolageek:
I understand that now, but I have unlimited SMS/MMS so that's not an issue. What I don't want is to surf the net (IE or Opera) when there's no wifi connection.

My wife's phone is stuck on the AT&T screen when booting. I am able to get into download mode, but am unsure of what to do next. I've downloaded the PC Suite and Mobile Support Tool (which seems to be more recent) from LG but in both cases when I do the update recovery I can't get it to work. The phone is totally stock, no root or anything, and as far as I know had the latest updates.

Can anyone help me bring the phone back from the dead?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottsoNJ:
This would probably work=

Ensure the device is power off.

Note If screen is frozen, remove/reinsert battery.

Press and hold the Volume Down button then press and hold the Power button. When the System recovery screen is displayed, release both buttons.

Select Factory data reset.

Note Utilize the Volume buttons to highlight and the Power button to select.

Select Yes.

Note Allow several minutes for the factory data reset and reboot processes to complete.

I'm using a rooted 5.1.1 KFFOWI and would like to add widgets to WidgetLocker. (This is not about disabling the stock lockscreen, I did that with Xposed.)

However, attempting to add a widget with the program opens settings and does not add the widget, even when WidgetLocker is made a system app. Is there anything I can do, or has Amazon won this round?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robo-rooter:
This seems to be a feature of the stock Fire OS. On my Fire 7, I had rooted it and added Nova launcher with Root Junky's SuperTool. Still, it had the same problem you are seeing. When trying to add widgets from the Nova launcher, the Fire 7 went to the Fire OS setup menu instead of popping up a permission screen to add a widget.

.

Finally, I loaded the Nexus rom with Flashfire and now the Nova launcher is able to add widgets to the home screen. Adding a custom rom (I like the Nexus rom) is really the only way to make a decent tablet from the Fire 7. You have to get rid of the stock Fire OS rom and replace it with a custom rom in order to add widgets..

I have 3 Fire 7's (all with 5.1.2 firmware) that I have rooted with RootJunky's SuperTool (April 3 ver) and then added the Nexus ROM (20160405 ver) using FlashFire v.031. They all work great now.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 7353345:
Great suggestion. I just switched to the Nexus ROM and it's pretty great.
