I copied the USPL- CID BYPASS to my phone. I ran haret.exe and now i am stuck at this place where it the screen turned black, there is a penguin in the back and i'm on the line where it says Praying...

"WElcome to Haret

Loading SPL to RAM...

Loaded...

Jumping to prelaoder...

Praying..."
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
Your phone isn't unlocked..

Take the battery out and startup your phone, run the unlocker and after that the USPL-CID BYPASS.

This will work !
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
If you're trying to flash to a 6.1 ROM...you'll need to use JumpSPL instead of Haret to bypass the CID lock. Haret is for "official" ROMs, while JumpSPL is for the cooked ones.
[HTC Excalibur] sime0n:
Is the unlocker you're talking about the SDA application unlock? I've run it several times and every time it says it's unlocked, yet when i try to run the Jump SPL it says "Not digitally signed with trusted certificate"
[HTC Excalibur] sime0n:
I fianlly got it.

I had to cold boot because i must have messed it up from installing all these different app unlockers. I just ended up running the SDA app unlocker and then it worked. Weird.
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
I only use Haret to bypass the CID lock and i tried every rom without any problem.
[HTC Excalibur] lbravo:
works

works like a charm, txs a lot from Rosario, Argentina
[HTC Excalibur] jewiebe:
I've tried this every which way, and I still get error 270. At one point in the USPL.bat progress, it says:

Copying C:\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.

I've run the unlock program a few times, and it always says successful. What am I missing??? :confused::confused:
[HTC Excalibur] stesa:
error 270 :(

tryed everythink , it seem no one tool is able to unlock this excalibur

anyone know wich registry need to modify to manually unlock it ?
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
Did you restart your phone ?

Yeah, I've restarted it a dozen times or more....

[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Make sure your phone is application unlocked before starting the 6.1 download. Search the forum for SDA Application Unlocker or surrealnetworksapp unlock. After unlocking, try to flash your phone again.

error 260 - i know i know but

here is the problem,

i just got the phone from tmobile and it came preloaded with wm6, i have tried ricky's version and than kavana's version, same error.

right after i get the grey/white screen and start the RUU i get the 260 error.

i have attempted it on 2 different machines with the same results.

it must be the unlocking, the surrealnetworks unlocker always gives me a 'this software was not designed for wm6' messages when i install it...

is that my issue?

Error 270 again

Ok.....well I updated my standard WM6 Rom with Kavanas WM6.1 update which went smooth with no hitches. Having lived with it for a while, I decided to try Rickys Updated rom thinking it would be as smooth......I wish!

Error 270 manifests itself everytime.

Now I notice alot of people have this problem, & there are various curt responses from established members of this forum to us inexperienced ones. Believe me, I have scoured the threads for a solution, & have ended up in a confused mess. There are contradictions amongst the replies that are causing me extreme frustration to the point where I have given up.

To site a few examples....it is not made clear whether certain applications should be run from the PC or the phone. I have gleened the SDA Unlock runs from the PC.

With the Kavana Rom, I didnt have to do any of the CID bypass stuff. I gather this is because I am not trying to flash the phone with an 'Official' Rom. So why is this necessary for Ricky's Rom?

So I try to follow the instructions to install the CID bypass & repeatedly get the Error 270. Then I read that if the Rom I have installed is not official, I need to use SPL Jump. After trying this several times & STILL coming up with Error 270, I have given up.

It would appear that the posts on this forum from experienced members assume everyone else has their level of knowledge & capability, & express a certain frustration at the less experienced ones, which kinda makes me reluctant to seek help. The times I have made use of this forum, I have always contributed to the upkeep of this site. I am all full of respect & admiration for the clever programers on here pushing the boundaries, but if some allowance isnt made for us noobies, it will drive us away......

[HTC Excalibur] nttbeats:
Wow, I had the hardest time upgrading my T-mobile rom and tried probably 20 different ways of unlocking CID/App with no luck. I finally found the youtube link here and still no luck.

THEN I FIGURED OUT MY PROBLEM!!!

After running USPL and getting the white screen I would always get ERROR 260 trying to run the ROM Updater. Basically, activesync would shut down and then I would just lose all USB connectivity to my phone and it made no sense how I could update with no USB. After reading other people's experiences stating the phone then gets recognized as a regular USB device it came to me...

MY FRONT USB PORT SUCKS!

I think the power to the front USB port is considerably weaker than the rear ports. After moving the USB cable to the rear (killiing my mouse temporarily) I was able to flash the Kavana ROM in minutes with no issues.

Something to think about when hitting a brick wall.

Error 270, And App Unlock Problems Solved!

Okay, I have unlocked my other dash in the past, but was having problems with this one. Here's the problems using a few other methods, and what ultimately got me up and running with Windows Mobile 6.1. The error messages are not word for word but you get the idea.

SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe - Error message: Not a Windows CE device

SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab - Seemed to install fine but DIDN'T unlock it

Manual registry hacking - 00001001 to 1, 00001005 to 40, 00001017 to 144... didn't unlock it

Basically I wasn't getting the white screen, although the application seemed to run on the device.

THE SOLUTION TO APP UNLOCKING YOUR PHONE IS to use SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab!

MODERATORS: It would be a good idea to incorporate this CAB file in the WM6.1 installer so it will run as part of the automated install.

:D :D :D :D
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
What did u use to debadge phone?
[HTC Excalibur] dewedMountain:
Ok i tried everything, I used all unlock apps, etc... and was still receiving 270 error.

I was always running ROMUpdateUtility in Kavana's folder.

Then I tried the Auto file, and that copied over the uspl, etc... turned screen white, updated, and it's all good now.

I guess my problem all along was running ROMUpdateUtility instead of Auto file. Someone should change that in the wiki.
[HTC Excalibur] BruteSource:
Not to be rude but you were ripped off.. If you do a lil searching on this forum you can find free means to cid app and sim unlock the excalibur.
[HTC Excalibur] pralvarado:
does anyone have the sim unlock for it or if they can upload the file
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
there isnt one. either call your provider to get the sim unlock code or pay someone to do it
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Or use the SEARCH and type in sim unlock it will yeild a good result, you have to pay but the service is fast & works...
[HTC Excalibur] snobunnycarol:
I just successfully loaded the Kavana ROM!

There is an awesome video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_BuN68vclM It walks you through every step of the process. There is also more instructions on this page here http://www.jamerican.net/?page_id=57 if you follow it - it does work and my Dash now reads the 8 gb mini SD!

It took me a few tries and I had to re-load the T-Moblie rom once since when you are running the CID bypass then go to run the RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE my phone just disconnected from PC instead of being connected as it should have been with active sync closing itself. Since disconnected the new Rom wouldn't install and with reseting and going through the steps again couldn't get it back to the white screen so it could bypass and install the rom without error. I reloaded the T-moblie rom followed the process again and eventually after restarting the device a couple times after running bypass the device was connected and I was able to load the new rom. Make sure to follow the directions from Jamerican tutorial (links above) since they are very good- if you need any of the download files just google the names and you can find them pretty easily as I did for SurrealNetworksAppUnlock which was not posted here.

Loving the new ROM!!! YAY 8gb mini sd working!

[HTC Excalibur] muzip:
Yay!! Thanks a lot, that solved my Error 260 problem too!! In my case, I've switched from the rear USB port to the front. I've never thought that such a thing would be reason, unbelievable.
[HTC Excalibur] franizus:
It also helps to not press the OK/continue key too quickly in rapid succession. Allowing a few seconds of pause time in between clicks help to resolve the 270 file corruption error....I think it's a synchronization issue between the phone USB and the PC USB ports.

[IMG="Simple Mobile Tools cover image"]http://simplemobiletools.com/assets/images/cover_small.png[/IMG]​

Hey people,

I want to introduce you a suite of Android apps I've created under the Simple Mobile Tools brand. As of writing this it contains 13 apps: App-launcher, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Clock, Contacts, Draw, File-manager, Flashlight, Gallery, Music-Player, Notes, Thank You.

They are all open source, contain no internet access, no unexplainable permissions, no ads. That makes them perfect not only for the casual users, but also for the privacy concerned ones. They are available on f-droid too, sources are on Github. They contain customizable colors (including the app launcher color), dark theme is used by default.

I created them 2 years ago and by now they have roughly 6 million downloads together, so they are fine-tuned for the most part already, it isn't something fresh and rough that just came out of a school project. I'm actually working on them even more than full-time by now, so they can't just disappear or become abandoned. They are translated in up to 32 languages, translations are done by volunteers. The most popular app is the Gallery, the next ones are Calendar and Contacts.

Google keeps pushing developers to be more transparent with handling user data and they will also make their requirements more strict this year. App updates will have to target SDK 26 (Android Oreo) starting November 1 and while my apps are already doing that, it will cause a lot of troubles to other big players. Among many other things they will have to implement runtime permissions and not take every listed permission granted by installing the apps. That is one of the reasons why I think my apps have a tremendous potential.

Even though I have published app privacy policies as needed at Google Play, many people ask me what data do I collect. Well, since the apps are offline, I'm not collecting any data whatsoever. And since there are no ads, there are no marketing companies tracking you either.

The great benefit of using the apps isn't just the security, but also the consistent user experience, that I miss so much in Android. In my apps I'm reusing as much as I can. Not just actual functions, but also icons, actions, sometimes whole screens. Whenever possible, I'm using the Material icons provided by Google, so they should look familiar and you shouldn't be wondering what will happen once you press them.

Instead of typing out everything here, let me redirect you to my Medium article Why did I create Simple Mobile Tools.

I wrote an article about the first 2 years of my journey at Medium too, it is called 5 million downloads on 2nd anniversary. What now?

In case you want to read some user feedback, a Reddit article has been written too by a user (I'm not involved in that at all).

There are many new features/bugs/improvements/apps on the roadmap and while I already have around 20k installs a day, the best is yet to come!

Stay tuned,

Thanks!

Hi, I was looking for a substitute for quickpic (best gallery ever unfortunately buy and let die by cheetah mobile). Simple gallery lately have improved a lot but have some big lackness to be good as quickpic.*

Here the problems that quickpic doesn't have:

1- can't rotate image using simply two finger. //*

2- when you move an image from internal storage to SD (and viceversa) it change the date of editing, if you use that to order it will be the first. Make it optional //*

3- when you edit and image it change the edit data and the image became the first if you use it to order. Make it optional*

4- slow loading time. //

I really, really hope this will can be my the sostituite to all people still use quickpic even if it's not updated in years

I also suggest to add the possibility of draw in the photo editing.*

Good luck with this beautiful app.*​

[Android Apps and Games] GuestK00434:
First I want to thank you for the apps. I've used most on and off over the past couple years. I currently use calendar and gallery only though.

My suggestion to you, from an end user, is to focus more on the style and layout of your apps. The clock, for example, doesn't resize to be large enough and forces info the user may not wasn't, e.g. PM...and contacts shoves things together, name and phone number, leaving lots of empty space yet cramped together info, calendar widget text size doesn't fit with event list though they're defined by the same setting. In other words, your use of negative space to create a more appealing look & feel to the app could use some work....please don't take this as a negative. Your work is much appreciated! Just constructive criticism.
[Android Apps and Games] tibbi2:
ye sure, any feedback is appreciated. I will consider it, but for now I generally want to focus on the functionality. It looks not that bad :) Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Could there be an option to show the actual size of an image in the Gallery application ? ( If there is, I haven't figured it out... )

It particularly affects small images, like pixel art or icons, that are blown up many times their size and distorted.
[Android Apps and Games] tibbi2:
displaying smaller images in real size might be added in the future, not yet sure when though
