Follow the Instructions and you will be fine

You do not need "the internet" if you never plan on having data service (internet) from T-Mobile. (You must have GPS Wi-Fi or something or hate the internet outside the house.)

You need to set up your Handset and the MMS settings as I posted in #451.

Great, now donate to the site!!!

I am glad it works for you. Enjoy the power of the Dash! I know I am:D

Key mapping issues

I really love this upgrade and rom you have put together. The Resco file explorer is a very nice touch too!!

So the only key mapping issues I can find with this 6.1 upgrade and the Et9Cab is the following:

When I press % I get !

When I press & I get @

When I press @ I get that british pound symble

Any way to change these here on my end?

Thanks,

Jeff
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
First off what Keyboard setting do you need UK US?

Both .cabs in sig

If u need US use the Tegic, if UK use eT9 Full.

Reboot after install and in an input box text etc press FN + Space and choose ABC.
[HTC Excalibur] innovator8:
Thank you so much, it is all good now!!

image file corrupted

I'm getting error 270, image file corrupted. What's up with that?
[HTC Excalibur] Blackshaolin_7:
Chaduki,

Not to sound harsh but I am not sure how thoroughly you read this thread, if you did, you would not have posted this. you will have to install the ROM again or you can try Ricky's version. Your dash is connected as long as the led lights up when it is plugged into the USB. follow the instructions and you will be fine.
[HTC Excalibur] Blackshaolin_7:
Just like I told Chaduki, please read the thread you will get the solution to this problem at least 3 times. You need to install an App unlock on your Dash then, Install ROM. Chaduki, I advice you to do the same as well. Start and go through the first 3-4 pages of this thread and you should be good with all the links you need as well. Good Luck;)

IF YOU RUN INTO FURTHER PROBLEMS SEND ME A NOTE DIRECTLY AND I WILL HELP YOU WITH ALL YOU NEED. REPEATING QUESTIONS ON THREADS ARE NOT GREAT FOR THE FORUM OR YOUR MEMBERSHIP. (not yelling or anything just stating the obvious)
[HTC Excalibur] chaduki:
thanks

the problem i faced is :when i plug the USB betwen the HTC & PC there is no connection.

Battery Drains Quick

Has to do with Time Out setting on Home Screen ( I think)

Start

Settings

Home Screen

Time Out = 30 seconds

What happens here is screen goes ALL WHITE after 30 seconds. I think that's what's draining the battery.

Original ROM setting - the screen would go dark (turn off?)

PLEASE HELP

[HTC Excalibur] shenns:
Hehe thanks. Dont recall if i tried that but I did a reset the phone so everything is working perfectly now. I think the problem occurred when I set the phone device lock password..

Anyways one annoying problem is the texting in vibrate mode. The vibrate is toooo long when i receive a text which probably takes a toll on the battery since i text alot. My previous rom pulsated 3 times when I received a txt. Any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] samg25:
is there any official T-mobile Dash wm 6.1 downloads? that Kavana file is sort of difficult to install. I have tried to download it using the steps on the website but it takes me to 3% so I guess I need an official rom so that wont have to happen.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
There is no oficial WM6.1 release for Dash a little bit of reading goes a long way, like stickys, or just click on the guide to flash in sig.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
In a way Kavanas rom is a bit different.

You need to unzip the folder attached.

1. Transfer "SP_AllowCertificateInstall" to your dash and click on it to install it. (Folder 1)

REBOOT

2. Run "SDA_ApplicationUnlock" from your desktop, with your dash connected. (Folder 2)

REBOOT

You might need to run both a couple times.

Then run Kavanas .exe rom update file.

Already Installed the ROM, but having problems to write text

Hello! I've installed the ROM and it looks really nice. The only issue I'm having at this moment is when I try to write a word document, a text message, etc.

Some kind of "predective text" is active.. I can't use the letters W-E-R-S-D-F-X-C-V (numeric pad), when I tried to use those buttoms I might select "a-b or c" when I push the "E" buttom. Any idea to solve this issue? I just want to type with the regular qwerty pad, using all the keys!

Vibration Issue

Hello All,

Well where do I start.... I searched the threads and can't seem to find this problem cropping up anywhere but my phone:

It goes into a vibration fit, what I mean by that is that it just starts to ring, then the vibration starts and it won't stop until I remove the battery and re-boot the phone. It is completely random, just whenever it wants too.

History of the phone:

Originally came with WM5, upgraded through T-Mobile to WM6

Installed the unlocker from surrealNetworks

Installed the Katana 6.1 080408 upgrade (worked great)

Installed the Full eT9.full Keyboard program (works great except for the odd symbols for different keys.

Then I finally installed the Tegic eT9 US English now the keys work properly.

I also ran the connection wizard in the phone (worked outstanding)

The phone was working flawlessly until I started to mess with the OMAPClock program, that's when I started to notice the vibrator going nuts. I turned it off and dropping the settings up and down to no avail. Also I turned off the reminder for missed calls/messages.

Any help on this would be great,

Thanks,:eek::confused:

Works great - BUT

I've had 6.1 up and running for a week now and love it. I was about to trash the DASH for the google phone but this update has blown some fresh air into the device.

Battery life sucks though. I can watch it drain... full charge lasts about 10 hours while under 6.0 it was 24 hours.

Any thoughts?

I've got all signals turned off but the phone and it drains... removed email pop and imap...

Extended battery, seach and you will find some interesting results...
[HTC Excalibur] guyute74:
Done, I had seen info about buying extended batteries... but before I rush out and get a new one, I was hoping maybe I had done something wrong during the upgrade.

I'm running 6.1

Radio Version is 4.1.13.51_03.07.90

RIL Version 2.002

Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh in saying the battery life "sucks". It just is much less that when i was running 6.0. But the benefits of the update far outway the disadvantages of previous windows mobile versions.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Defo yeah 6.1 needs an extended battery for you to really enjoy all the extras you get :)

Not forgeting the battery you have may be old even if your phone is new...

Wi-Fi issues,...

I installed the ROM and added the key mapper so that I get the @ sign and no the british pound sign.

I am trying to attach to my home Wi-Fi that is 802.11b/g/n and uses WPA2P AES encryption and on top of that it's hidden.

The Edge settings work, but the Wi-Fi does not attach. I have tried a lot of different ways to add the network with various differences but no joy.

I did confirm that I have the WiFiinit link file in the /Windows/Startup directory.

Are there any known issues with Wi-Fi in this ROM>

Please advice.:confused:

I updated my ROM, but now my phone dies when I kick off "send and receive" on my email. It shows connecting.. message for a while and then suddenly the phone switches off. I checked the battery level and it was 55% full.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
This seems to happen a LOT. Usually it turns out to be the battery itself. Try to visit a T-Mobile Store (if you're a T-Mo customer). They'll most likely give you a new battery to replace your current one for free. If not, check eBay for a reasonably priced battery. Me personally--I don't care for the capacity of the standard battery (960mAh). I stepped it up to an extended battery (2200mAh) from wirelessground.com.
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Follow the step-by-step instructions listed in the Sticky titled "Newcomers!...". It should have steps and pictures which will guide you with proper 6.1 installation.

JumpSPL Problem?

I downloaded this ROM (thanks btw), and I have followed all the steps, i even did some searching for this problem on the forum already, but to no resolve.

I am able to run the ROM batch, and it copies everything over fine, but when it launches the JumpSPL on my smartphone, JumpSPL on my phone errors out and the phone asks me if I want to send an error report. I assume that is not supposed to happen as all descriptions say that I should have a white screen on my phone.

So I have tried continuing past the JumpSPL dying, and the farthest my ROM will update to is 3% before my phone reboots itself.

anyone got an idea on what might be going wrong?

I use the official WM5 ROM now and the T-mobile dash was officially unlocked.

After running Kavana's rom setup, in 3rd step, "run SPL now,...... hit center button (continune), the screen should become white"

I hit the center button, but the screen didn't become white or nearly white, then I continue rom updates, but when the rom update progress bar is about 10%-15%, it tells me the rom is corrupted.

I double check the MD5 of "RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE.exe" with that posted by Kavana in the first post, they are the same.

how should i get if i wana restore my phone back to the original state, l have the tmobile dash
[HTC Excalibur] manichaze:
I did some searching but couldn't find my answer so I figured I would just ask. I upgraded my dash to 6.1 and everything went smoothly. The problem is when I want to type with the keyboard, anythign left of the T, G, B colum does not type correctly at all. A is a space, s is a g, d is j, etc. WTF is going on? How do I remedy this issue? I know it is probably something simple.

I replaced the et9 file with the corrected one just to see if it was any better, still the same issue. I assume its the T9 function, but how do I disable it? If this thing has a full keyboard, why not use it by default?

thanks in advance.

-Ross

edit: the alt-space trick isnt working either, it does not do anything...in fact alt isnt working at all

edit2: fixed it! apparently the et9 full.cab didnt install correctly or something, after reinstalling it everything is good to go.
[HTC Excalibur] hendrixus:
just flash the original tmobile rom on the device.
[HTC Excalibur] manichaze:
I thought I had it figured out, but the alt mappings are still incorrect. I replaced et9.Excalibur.0409 with the correct one, then when that didnt work i tried replacing 0408 because i could see by looking at it that it still had the incorrect US key mappings for it and I was hoping that would fix it, but the problem still exists. However, at least alt is working now.

Troubleshooting CAPS.

Sorry, I'm writing in spanish. Please translate if you like.

Hispanos :)

Si tienen problemas con el uso de CAPS, teclas que no coinciden con el teclado les comento lo que realice y Uds deciden si les sirve o no.

Ante todo luego de instalar la versión 080408 el teclado queda configurado en no se que modo :)

Para solucionar esto he utilizado el cab HKBoySiR's Tegic eT9.cab (English Keyboard Mapping).

Con esto pasamos el teclado a modo US que como sabemos tiene diferencias con el teclado español y otros.

Si no les molesta que el nombre del teclado diga "English" y que por defecto tenga correcciones en Ingles. Realmente prefiero esto a no tener las teclas correctas y no poder usar el CAPS. :)

Lo que realice es reemplazar el archivo "eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt" ubicado en "Program Files\eT9" con el contenido del archivo "eT9.Excalibur.040A.kmap.txt".

De esta manera el teclado queda configurado en español y las teclas funcionan en mayúscula :eek:

Lo mismo se puede realizar con todos los mapeos de teclado.

Espero que les sirva.

Saludos.
