[HTC Excalibur] eccramer:
Hello all. I downloaded the v23 upgrade tool on different computers multiple times, but when I try to update, I get to the point where the progress bar is displayed on both the computer and the device, but the upgrade installer on the PC then says that the ROM image (i.e. the nbh included with the whole package) is corrupted. Again, I have downloaded the file multiple times on multiple computers. Luckily, the install has yet to brick my device, it just fails and reboots into wm5, but I'd really like to upgrade and get rid of all then tmobile branding (I use AT&T). If it's any help, I'm running on an SIM and CID unlocked US Tmobile Dash. Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Sorry, I think I might have figured it out, I'm running the CID unlock application again. I'll come back and ask again IN THIS POST if I need help. Don't want to clutter the thread by double posting.

EDIT2: Nope, didn't work. The screen didn't turn entirely black when running the CID unlock tool. Still boots to WM5 though. I think I'm gonna quit for the day until someone can link me to an actual how to. Flying blind like this is not good for my phone or nerves.
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
I see your phone is SIM and CID unlocked--but is it APPLICATION unlocked??? In other words, have you used 1 of these 2 programs?: SDA ApplicationUnlock or surrealnetworks application unlock.
[HTC Excalibur] eccramer:
I believe now that I was mistaken. I'm absolutely sure that my phone is application unlocked (I have a bunch of third party apps installed (like palringo and SetJogBar), but I'm not so sure about it being CID unlocked. From searching more (I know I should have done that earlier, but my firefox greasemonkey scripts were messing with the search on here and it wasn't working. Search works for me now) I have found that it's probably not CID unlocked. I downloaded the CID unlock app, but when I ran it, it just popped a tux linux logo on the screen, didn't turn completely black, and then rebooted. If there's some kind of all-in-one-place tutorial on flashing Ricky's ROM, you could just link me to that. I have been searching but I haven't found one. Just so you know, I'm not a total noob at this. I used to flash iPaqs to Familiar Linux, but that was a bit different. Oh, and thanks so much for your help!
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Oh...gotcha. As far as I know, there aren't any FREE CID unlocking programs. You'll just have to bypass the CID lock like many of us have. To bypass a CID lock on a "cooked" ROM (like rickwyatt's 6.1) use JumpSPL. I've attached it to the post. The JumpSPL.exe and USPL1.11.nb files must both be on your phone's directory before you run the ROM installer. Both of these files are in the attached .zip file.
[HTC Excalibur] eccramer:
Thanks so much. This forum rocks (I joined in 2005 when I had a first generation wallaby, and even though all my old posts have been deleted, I asked quite a few questions back in the day). Everyone on this forum is so helpful. I think I'm gonna take a break for the night, but I'll definitely follow your directions tomorrow morning when I try to flash my phone again.

Can Some Please Save My Phone!!!

i upgraded to the v20, but when i tried to connect to activesync it wont let me!!! i cant sync anything or even change it. what do i do
[HTC Excalibur] eccramer:
So, I decided to try again, and doing both the application unlock and the CID unlock again worked. I've now got wm6.1 v23 running, and I've installed HKboy's english eT9 pack. Thanks again everybody. I might write a comprehensive guide for this install and link to a bunch of the resources that I found searching, and all the stuff you guys posted to help me. Thanks again, and man, 6.1 is so much better than my 5.0 tmobile image.
[HTC Excalibur] ReaverZero:
Okay, forgive the newbie question, but I've searched the forums and google to no avail. Is there a way to change the font of the clock in the upper right hand corner of the screen? I know the home screen clock can be changed, but can you modify the small one up there as well? I'm not really a fan of the digital look and I much preferred the way it looked before. Aside from that, I'm loving this upgrade. :) Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] AGxM:
Using V23 but have no photodialer installed. When I try to amend the settings in My Tools/Chome Settings I get an error message
[HTC Excalibur] atsi17:
Disconnect usb cable.

Go to: start, settings, connections, usb to pc.

Uncheck the "enable advanced networkk functionality". Done, done, etc.

Now connect usb cable and sync.
[HTC Excalibur] jaj76:
I could not upgrade to v23 (Error 270 even after runing SDA unlock and uspl) so I went back a bit and flashed v21. It works like a charm. Also, i came across this vedio to flash ROMs:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=i_BuN68vclM

On a side issue, I had a quick question. I would really love to have copy paste functionality in office mobile (microsoft says it is available in WM6.1). Ricky, have you disabled it in v21 where you state that you have compressed office mobile or is it just not available?

Thanks again for a great ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] Shining Light:
Both version 23, sometime it just froze on the main screen after a restart, anyone else getting this? The older versions it was fine.
[HTC Excalibur] jgro1976:
I tried to do v23 with opera, and it starts the update then my PC says that it's a corrupt install file.

Help???
[HTC Excalibur] joelpk:
Did you do the application unlock, remove the mico SD card (if you had one), and reboot before you started?
[HTC Excalibur] jgro1976:
I thought I read somewhere that the app unlock wasn't necessary with this image, but I'll give that a shot.

Same with the SD card and reboot, thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] satru:
download again from other place,
[HTC Excalibur] swaney:
chill

just chil and slow down :D
[HTC Excalibur] D-ville Solja:
I have rickys v22 and I’m about to change the rom. I’ve already customized my panels how i like them and it would take a long time to do it ALL over again, is there anyway I can like save the settings or registry so when I reflash I will have the same panel layout
[HTC Excalibur] bigteribletexas:
Yeah, you can use a registry editor to export the appropriate keys and their current values. At least, that's what i do to backup CMyApplications and CLinks, just in case. After flash, put the .reg files back on phone, or navigate to the files on your sd card, and click on them. They will automatically install the registry edits. Do a soft reset, and viola.

Locations:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome

HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings

edit: nevermind, i see this was answered in its own thread earlier today
[HTC Excalibur] radiobed:
Anyone know how to mute the ring/vibrate for incoming calls?

For T-mobile I used to use the slider to mute.
[HTC Excalibur] robak03:
Hey is anyone having an issue when they are in a program and press the home key? i'll get a half screen of my program and it doesnt go to the home screen i have to hit it two times or hit the call end button to get back to my home screen when in a program.

MMS

Both me and my friend used Kavanna's latest and were not able to use MMS to send, and we do get notifiers that we have a message, but it wont let us download them. The error says "Error Synchronizing". I installed v23 w/ Opera hoping that it might solve the problem. I set it all up using T-Mobile's Support Instructions and I still have the same problem, any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] acidnine:
There is an option under your JOGGR Settings, you can access it by going into "All Settings" from the bottom Pane on the Homepage.
[HTC Excalibur] acidnine:
Another thing I noticed that didn't happen with kavanna's is that I lose the battery and network status at the upper right of my home screen...I get it back when I open a program, but as soon as I go back to the home screen same situation.
[HTC Excalibur] karimhemani:
trouble with calendar

im on v23 and when i'm in the calendar mode (agenda view) i can't move from day to day.. i have to hit the home button, then the back button for it to show the day that ive switched to. on top of that, the agenda doesn't refresh (so whatever was on my calendar for monday will show even though the date at the top shows wednesday).

example, i open the calendar and am on 6/2/08, i have a meeting at 3pm and 5pm which shows... i push right 2 times to switch to scroll to wednesday but the screen does nothing (date or screen doesn't change). then i push home and then back, and it shows 6/4/08 at the top, but it still shows monday's appointments although i have a different schedule for wednesday.

any solution to fix this problem? complete rom flash (i would rather not do that, but don't mind if its the solution)? can other people check this and see if its on their phone too... maybe its a glitch in my version when i installed it.
[HTC Excalibur] acidnine:
I don't have that problem, I also changed mine so that I have a 7 day week and it starts on Monday, plus I have it open in Month view when I start. I generally don't have daily meetings.
[HTC Excalibur] karimhemani:
weird... you tried just as i gave in the example below and it changed from day to day at the top like it should?

if not, try creating an appointment for today at 8pm and then one tuesday at 4pm and then wednesday at 6pm... go in the agenda view and see if you can scroll from day to day using the left and right buttons?

appreciate your help... if you can... i'll just do a flash and reinstall v23 rom.
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
Sounds like something is just screwy with your flash. I followed your example (using the times here and the button presses from the previous post) and the days are changing correctly. I can use Adgenda View just fine.

I hate to recommend a reflash, but it sounds like you're prepared for that anyway, heh. :)
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
Just to be safe, your settings for MMSC shoudl be thus:

Name: T-Mo MMS

MMSC URL: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

WAP Gateway: 216.155.165.50

port: 8080

Connect via: WAP Network (possibly 'The Internet').

Now that I test it, I am getting 'Error Synchronizing' in the title bar as well. But I don't have any MMS messages waiting so maybe that's the problem?

I just sent a MMS and I have the little "envelope flying towards space" icon in the title bar. I expect it to send.
[HTC Excalibur] karimhemani:
oh well... looks like i'll do that... anyway i can backup my text messages and panel settings without using jeyo mobile... i have that software but can't find it.
[HTC Excalibur] Shining Light:
Is there a way to reset the home screen?

The default one got these at the bottom: Profile, Battery, then all the way at the right is a way to have which one you want. It's labeled "Setting" even though I didn't disable that, it disappear on me. Now I can't get that back on without the bottom section "Setting". How can I get that "Setting" back without flashing again?
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
iv made a new rom with only with a couple of apps in it eg..

chome configurator {new} CHome Configurator for WM6.1: Version 1.1.0.1 FINAL

chome font changer

chome slim

resco explorer

resco registry

omapclock

orneta calculator

notepad

windows mobile

office mobile

do you what it?
[HTC Excalibur] Poussun:
Yes for sure :)
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Isn't that your "Vanilla" rom?
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:

RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_Opera {new}

RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_No Opera {new}

RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_Vanilla {new}
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
AWESOME! Welcome back, Father Ricky. :)

Are you going to post the differences between them? Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
he normally does :)
[HTC Excalibur] Shining Light:
This is a real annoying problem, that bottom roll is one of the only 3 that I use, the part to get it back is also on that bottom roll.

There is 10 of them, the CHome changer is all the way at the right.

Profile, Battery, Ringtone, Jogger, [[[change the CHome]]]

Is there a way to get that bottom roll back?
[HTC Excalibur] tlogix:
Can't tell you why it disapears but to get it back is easy (assuming you are using v23 ROM):

Using File Explorer or Resco file exporer, go to Windows folder and run NeoOrder.exe to reenable Settings panel

or

Install CHomeConfigurator in my signature and you will be able do the same thing with more features.
[HTC Excalibur] jgro1976:
Ok, got v23 installed, love it so far with only a few little questions.

1. The myfaves panel on the home screen, I don't have that service through TMo and I can't get it to edit the actual information for the faves on the device, not sure if it's a bug or not, but want to know how to remove it completely from the home screen.

2. Home screen, there are other panels I don't need there, like photos and some others, is there an easy way to change the layout of the home screen? XML file or registry tweak?

3. Google's gmail downloadable app, anyone have it on their phone? When I had WM6 it worked fine, and it works fine in 6.1 however when I have it open and try to open the menu's, they open up below the bottom information bar rendering them useless as I can't see what I'm actually clicking on, if that doesn't make sense let me know and I'll try to describe it better or insert a pic of it.

4. I think I read it somewhere, but this 6.1 supports SDHC cards, right?

I think that's it for now, really loving it so far.
[HTC Excalibur] Shining Light:
I used Total Commander to enable it, thanks work like a charm. I notice you are the creator of that, very helpful tool keep up the good work.

For Ricky, V24 can you make sure and put the latest jbed and opera mini in there.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Would help if you read the first post and the txt pages Ricky has posted.

Have a great day :)
[HTC Excalibur] swaney:
this is gonna be wassup
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
my v24 vanilla and v24 Opera v24 no opera rom is now ready to download:eek:
[HTC Excalibur] swaney:
thank you props dude
[HTC Excalibur] rollingondubs1:
what does v24 Vanilla have that v24 opera doesnt? im sry if its a noob question
[HTC Excalibur] :
"Vanilla" is what Ricky calls his basic ROM without additional software and tweaks. You can check at the first or second post in this thread for the changelog between versions to see what's included in each.
[HTC Excalibur] jgro1976:
Yeah, next time can you READ what I wrote before you use your fingers?

Nothing in the txt pages answer my questions. I want to know how to REMOVE the my faves from the home screen because it's not working, not set it up.

Same with other parts of the home screen, I want them gone.

And I didn't see anything about SDHC cards.

Thanks for being SO helpful!
[HTC Excalibur] :
Easy, big fellah. Not only is Mikey one of the more helpful posters here, but everything you ask has been answered before on this forum.

Check the app "CHome Configurator." It's regularly updated so it's usually near the top of the unread posts in this forum. It will allow you to hide, show, and disable panels without editing the registry directly. As for the MyFaves panel, its configuration is still a pain, but it does work as a photo dialer (that's all it is--no service from T-Mobile needed.)

As for SDHC cards, WM6.1 supports them, but I don't think we've gotten any word as to how big it supports yet. 8GB is common, though.
[HTC Excalibur] tlogix:
There's no need to pull out the big gun :p

Better yet, use CHome Configurator's Contact Dialer template to edit MyFaves panels. It's easy as 1 2 3
[HTC Excalibur] jgro1976:
Haha, sorry guys, read that before I had my coffee this morning. Your posts were much more helpful than his, so I appreciate your input.

I'll do some tinkering and see what happens, thanks!

Edit: Went into CHome Settings> menu> show> and tried to open 4 CPhotoDialer and I get an Error/Unexpected Error message. Anyone else get this?

Also, my battery seems to be draining A LOT faster than it was before. Not good.
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
Is the only difference between v23 and v24 the CHome Config update? Nothing else new at all?
[HTC Excalibur] wolfnumba1:
i dont know if anybody else had this problem but when i try and flash my tmobile dash it doesnt find it from the RUU utility it says that is cant connect to the smart phone error 202 connection is there something i have to do to the phone first before I can flash it unlocking it or something please let me know, thanks

Update: now that ive gotten it to connect with it goes to the RUU mode it stops at 3% and the phone reboots and it says that the rom is corrupted any suggestions?
[HTC Excalibur] eatsyou:
I have the same problem... I get to about 6% then it has connection issues. I have followed the directions to the t, or at least I thought so lol... Any suggestions? Thanks for any help

oh, i have been trying v24 with opera.
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
Do this: when the screen is white, disconnect the phone from your computer, connect again and flash the rom.

This should work.
[HTC Excalibur] jgro1976:
Setting the "faves" up to work:

Went into CHome Settings> menu> show> and tried to open 4 CPhotoDialer and I get an Error/Unexpected Error message. Anyone else get this?

Also, searched this thread and didn't find anything about SDHC micro SD cards, will they work?
[HTC Excalibur] Clydeistheshit:
Yes micro SDHC cards will work fine with windows 6.1
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Ricky, I have fulfilled your request. At the same time, I would like you to take the time out - whenever you get a chance that is and create a new thread so it's organized, has all the information everyones needs including a FAQ. Not only will the moderators appreciate that but also the community would find it easier to go through your thread. For now, I'm stickying this thread but would like you to create a new thread with all the information you can provide in the thread so I can delete this thread as it's getting too big. Please let me know if this works for you?

Also, when you do make a new thread, please keep it very organized, include all the links to your ROM's etc with proper descriptions as well as write a FAQ. You seem to have most of the answers for all questions asked which is a very good thing. You've helped me as well at times where I had lost hope.

Thanks for your wonderful contribution to this community and co-operation in this matter.

? reguarding Opera

RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_Opera is the rom i installed and i can't find opera for the life of me.

Did this not install?

Under Programs ==> My Tools ==> Extras, I found a C prompt icon that said install opera and that doesn't do anything also there is another C prompt icon that is for changing default browser which has opera as an option.

Help please
[HTC Excalibur] eatsyou:
Yah, Well I hope I did it right lol. I used the SDA Unlock then before rebooted I did the surreal apps unlocks.. After that I did the auto run dos files and followed those instructions... Was this the right process? I could've sworn I read through and this was the way to do it... Sorry if I am completely off on this, I am new to this.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
use surreal apps unlocks then SDA Unlock then reboot then flash your phone
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
you are dialing like this +310-555-1234 when it should look like this

3105551234
[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
Do you mean in the My5_Contract1 file? It appears as so:

34#"\Windows\My5Dialer.exe" +3105551234

It also reads as +3105551234 when editing the number with Cphotodialer (? - not sure what program is being called to edit the contacts; I'm assuming it's similar to the program used in vers 18), but so do the contacts that work correctly. When it dials out, it looks like this:

+3105551234

The other numbers numbers appear the same, but with all the numbers showing (ex: +3015551234)

From what I can tell, everything looks correct except when dialing the number. It is dialing the wrong number also, so it is not just in appearance.

I'm sorry if any of my explanation is unclear. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will try to explain it (hopefully) in a more concise manner. Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
Ah-HA! That's not a greaty user interface, but as long as it works that is okay by me. :) (As a note, it would be nice to be able to select from the phone's current contacts.)

Now, does anyone have a list of settings to use for the Programs pane? Or, alternatively, a way to remove it? (And a way to remove the Internet pane)?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I predict this thread will grow to 1500 posts in ... two weeks. Especially with the chit chat going back and forth that has nothing to do with the ROM, really. LOL
[HTC Excalibur] vwgtiron:
My fix was easy I dont know how others approached this but I changed it with the Change my5 contacts from the home panel. Just type in a number this way 12075551212. displays as +12075551212 and dials right for me in Boston
[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
Thanks. That worked for me also. I'm still not sure why the other way didn't work, but this is an easy enough solution.
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
hello ive reflashed to version 14 and everything is great except when i went to change the photo dialer icon to a myfaves one i lost the photo dialer slide completley. can someone tell me how to get it back or what the orginal value was in the icon path field for the photo dialer
[HTC Excalibur] satru:
my5

For my five number only have to insert number 1 (EU) Before of phone number or if you are in other country the country number

ej 3054445555 have to insert 13054445555, when you call the program show you the number how +1(305)444-5555. if you dont have 11 number the program insert ()- in diferent place and you cant connect.

good luck:eek: version 20a

I used to have a wing and I had no problems flashing roms. Im trying to flash the v21 rom from the tmobile stock rom and its not really working. i copied what the auto.bat said to do, but when it started flashing the rom, it said the image was corrupted. what am i doing wrong?

edit: i tried to reflash, and when it gets to the part where it says execute jumpspl now and i press continue, the screen doesnt turn white.
