Alright, here is confirmation on my bug report: I flashed my phone using the latest build of ookba's 6.5 3VO ROM and did not experience any of the audio problems. I was also having issues receiving MMS messages on your 07/07/09 build (I wouldn't get them at all!) but this also disappeared when I flashed ookba's ROM. Just a heads up!
[HTC Excalibur] Tritan88:
I wonder if it has something to do with the core. I know that 3EVO is built on the latest release and this one is built on the prior release.

Would it be possible for someone to change out the core only and give it a try? I would but my laptop that all my files were on crashed on me and I am not sure how long it will take to get it back up and running right now.
[HTC Excalibur] alexrz619:
its a great rom, I was able to recover it and reflash it back doing all the steps over again but there are way too many bugs.. the audio wont work, camera is corrupted.. my tmobile settings wont work on it for some reason..

and lastly It takes forever to answer calls I dont know why, my sim card is new too but when i answer the phone it takes like 10 sec to connect.. the Rom looks great but I wouldnt flash this Rom to it, im actually going back to stock until I find a good Rom. maybe NRG has time to work on it later on in the future.

but for now, i dont recommend flahsing this rom.
[HTC Excalibur] cruzman:
Call me stupid...I'd feel better if you called me a noob. But I don't know exactly how to install the new rom properly.

I've manage to download two things onto my computer:

-EnergyROM EXCALIBUR 20090620 IE5 zip file

-Titanium Panels zip file

I just don't know what to do from there. Can someone do me a favor and explain in detail, step by step on how to properly install this onto my T-Mobile Dash please? It would be gratefully appreciated! Thanx!
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
read sticky. "Flashin 4 noobs" :)
[HTC Excalibur] cruzman:
Ok so I unzipped the file into another file onto my computer. Then open "File 1" up. Then I clicked on < Auto MS-DOS Batch File >. Which I followed the directions in MS-DOS. Then everything is going good till I initiate < Smartphone ROM Update Utility 3.9.3.5 > Following all the directions...pressing next I get all the way to the three bar screen (Red,Blue,Green). It makes me agree on my phone for xda-developers terms. Press next again then it starts the download process to "Updating the ROM image on the Smartphone". Loading bar on the desktop starts, then on my phone...about 3% in, it stops and gives me this Error:

ERROR [270] :UPDATE ERROR

The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility.

Click 'Exit'to quit.

?? Anyone got a clue ??
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
Are you flashing from the computer? Is your phone working when you flash it, or is it bricked? Reason I ask is It shouldn't go into the blue green red screen unless you have bricked it and need to access the bootloader.

Just start your phone up, wait to get to the standby screen - REMOVE THE MICROSD CARD, then connect to USB and run auto.bat and follow the instructions. You'll get a white screen, but not a multicolored one.
[HTC Excalibur] cruzman:
yes I am flashing from the computer! my phone is just dandy! and negative...my microSD card and my t-mobile card is out. followed the directions again and again but it does the same thing over. Goes to the bar screen then goes to a greyish screen with a loading bar on the top left side of the screen. 3% then sync stops and closed and then the same Error message occurs. Then my phone auto-reboots back to wm6.1 like it was initially.
[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
Your phone might still be app locked. You need to app unlock your phone first, before you can flash new ROM to it.
[HTC Excalibur] cruzman:
Can someone link me a site where I can download an App unlocker?

I want to first off say a big thank you to dermann, jeonatl3, 10507 for their help. This is the reason why people are freaking awesome here at Xda-Developers. Regardless how dumb of a question or how repetitive a question is asked. There is always someone there to answer it. Even though at times you might deserve to be labeled a complete moron, everyone here still tries not to make it that obvious. lmao!

Although I figured out how to unlock my phone minutes after I posted my comment. I can now say I officially upgraded that horrible Official T-Mobile 6.1 Rom to NRGZ28's Sexy EnergyROM IE5. I'm speechless! Everyone should be applauding NRGZ28 for his dedication & hard work to this ROM. He could have made a lot of money on this. But instead, shared it with all of us shmucks! lol!

Been testing out every problem that everyone else has listed in this thread. And so far I have had no Audio, MMS, or Internet problems....so far! I'll keep you guys updated if I run into any problems. Of course!

Thinking of installing Pudgedaddy's Titanium Layout for WM 6.5 tomorrow. I don't know...I like it as is!
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
Yeah I really like this ROM... it seems snappier than the 3VO one - both are amazing but this one I think has the edge. I know the developer is busy doing other ROMs for other devices but it would be nice if this one had a little bit of love too :)

glad you got it working

[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Things are very hot on the PPC scene now with all the latest and greatest stuff coming down the Pipe from HTC, so it leaves me very little time to play with the Excalibur. If I was the only chef in here, I would probably try to make more time, but you guys have ookba and it seems he'd doing a great job :P

Somebody, I will come back to this ROM to perfect it. That day might be sooner than you think ;)

How to install??????

I am currently using kavana 6.1 and downloaded the 3v0 and i am having trouble installing it. I was wondering if you could post like a link for a video on you tube or something on how to install it step by step? Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Any "non factory" ROM that you install, Energy, 3VO, or other, will require use of "JumpSPL". Meaning bypassing the bootloader's security to flash it. Most chefs will release a ROM package with JumpSPL in the package. In the case of the Excalibur, you have to first application unlock (download SDA Application Unlock from http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=193609&d=1244453182) the phone then run auto.bat and follow the prompts. Really straight forward process. Make sure you remove your SD card before a flash to avoid potential complications.

These are GREAT resources and tutorials. Please read these threads for more info on flashing:

I've been running 3vo for months now and this week was playing around with the wife's running 6-20 and was blown away with how snappy this one still is. It'd be great to see this come to completion some day. Ook has treated us very well...still It'd be fun to see the pet project picked back up.

[HTC Excalibur] theandrewmillett:
Have any of you ever had issues with delayed sounds? I'm running the 7/7/2009 ROM, and I'm getting delayed sounds in everything from incoming calls to alerts to music. When I answer an incoming call, it takes 5-10 seconds before I can hear anything from the other end, though apparently they can hear me. Also, even though I have the phone set to vibrate and ring at the same time, the ring starts about 5 seconds after the vibrate starts. The delay also happens with alert sounds and alarms, and even the preview in the Sounds settings menu. I love everything else about this ROM, but the sound delay will be a deal breaker if I can't get it fixed. Any suggestions?

EDIT: After reading again the posts from a few pages back, it looks like several of you have. Were you able to find a fix, or did you just have to use a different ROM?

EDIT 2: Ok, I installed the 6/20/2009 build, and it fixed the audio issues. Is there any way that I can get the weather panel and home screen layout that comes with 7/7/2009? I tried installing CHome Weather 3.1, and it doesn't seem to work the same. I liked how the CHome Weather from 7/7/2009 was just one panel; simple and clean. Also, does anyone have a link to the notepad app from 7/7/2009?

[HTC Excalibur] thenikeman:
I had noted in the EVO thread, that I had been receiving 100% of my MMS messages on the EVO rom. With all other ROMs, I will receive MMS messages for a few hours, then I will not get anymore until I reboot. Given that these are both 6.5 rom's, what would be the difference in why I am not receiving MMS messages with NRG's rom after a few hours? I didn't do ANY configuring with the EVO rom, so just wondering if the initial network configuration that takes place has anything to do w/ it..?
[HTC Excalibur] dbldown768:
i just installed this rom. Shortly after i recieved a text message in which i read, however there is still a little evenlope showing up on the home screen.
[HTC Excalibur] kannanpiyer:
IE6 does not seem to work

The ROM looks very nice, thank you. IE6 does not seem to work well, probably because of inadequate memory. The hyperlinks on the pages do not get highlighted and hence cannot be navigated to.

I also noticed that the "Connection Setup" feature is not available.

Looks like the "Tweaks" Folder has the programs that used to be in the "My Tools" and "Accessories" folder on the 6.1 ROM?

[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
The JOGGER bar continues to respond when the phone is locked? I'm sure previous ROMs don't do this - is it intended behavior? I have it set to change both system and in-call volume.

Can anyone tell me if copying over the bronzeres.dll I'm currently using with 6.1 (which includes colored icons upper-left corner of the sliding panels) is possible to maintain the colored icons? Second, can I copy over my 6.1 CPR, or is it incompatible with 6.5? (I'd like to avoid having to edit the layout again) Also, does MiniWeather work on this ROM?

Thanks!

Looks pretty f-ing good NRG... Hope Ookba adapts his 96dpi cab to this ROM. :)

Voice dial failed

After some testing, I had no success.

Cyberon voice speed dialer 1.2 creates a "voice speed dial" in the start menu which, if launched, beeps as expected and reports no voice tags found, but does not enable adding voice tags to contacts - and the home button does not start it.

The 1.7.16 version enables adding voice tags, but has no use for them if using the home button or bt.
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
So far this ROM is excellent! Incredibly snappy and more RAM that I'm used to having free. :D

Does anyone know where to turn off the "Recent Programs" function of the Start Menu? I found it in the last ROM that I used but can't find it this time.

It's annoying to me because it changes all the time. I want my start menu to be as close to the last time every time so that I can develop muscle memory for applications. :)
[HTC Excalibur] Bigmannyjr:
Not menu, panel. part 1 says IE, part 2 says add/change. When you click on change it opens up IE. I don't use IE. It's not even set as my default browser. My question to the cook is still open. Thank you for understanding.

I just have one problem so far. I can't even compose MMS messages. It can't load images into an MMS message, giving me an error saying it can't load the image. It's rather odd. And when it does "load" an image, I just see a placeholder in its place and then can't send the message.

I ran into this last night also. I am hoping there is a easy fix for this, I like the new comm manager better.
[HTC Excalibur] dwgerk:
One option that you could do is change the url for this....

Go into CHome Config > Setting > Wireless Page and change the Action URL: \Windows\Start Menu\Comm Manager.lnk
[HTC Excalibur] alienski:
"\Windows\CommManager.exe" also works
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
DOH right in front of my face, haha. Thanks NRG.

ROM is still pretty awesome. IE6 is unusable, though. it's just so sluggish. If an IE5 version pops up, I'll be tossing that on instead. But I, like others, usually use Opera anyway. :)

Fantastic work, NRG.

Edit:// Does anyone have a .cab for that fake version of MyFavs? The one that is just a shortcut for calling people from your sliding menu? (Alternatively, if anyone has a .cab that works in a similar fashion...)

[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Apparently I have severely bricked my S621 after flashing

I had previous flashes with different roms Kavana's, rose, energy (6.1 release) and everything went well with no problems at all. But a few days ago, I was so excited to test this new release and when I flashed the phone I came up with the frozen screen (“Starting Energy Rom”).

I’ve tried everything to resurrect my phone following the different steps posted in threads like: reflashing with the original roms, hard reset, changing to another PC running XP, bootloader etc but neither one of them works. My phone came with WM5 and definitely none of the roms posted work for my phone. I even contacted HTC and they told me that the hard reset must work, but it doesn’t. The phone stills with the frozen screen.

Is there another way to go? Or definitely I have to think in getting other phone?:(
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
I noticed a super-long delay at the "Starting EnergyROM" screen the first time it loaded after the flash... all the advice I have is to try to wait it out and see what happens.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
I left the phone all night long, I've noticed when I did the hard reset that after 20 minutes the phone rebooted and I thought...well problem solved...but it got stock again in "Starting EnergyROM" screen.
[HTC Excalibur] sgalbincea:
It took awhile for me too, but after the first boot and cold config it worked really fast.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
How much time? I left the phone on like 8 hours a couple of days ago and nothing happened.
[HTC Excalibur] sgalbincea:
8 hours is way too long. I was talking like 10 minutes or less. Not sure what to tell you at this point except hard reset and load whatever ROM your provider has then try this again. I can confirm that this ROM works and actually works really well.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
If you guys downloaded the very first ROM I posted.. yeah it will not boot. Redownload and reflash and all will be good.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Hi NGRZ28, yes I downloaded your very first ROM....and tried to go back and flash it to the original rom (but none of them worked since my original rom was WM5) so I can upgrade it again to your fixed ROM recently posted. What I'm facing here my friend is with the frozen screen that the only thing that I can do is to bootload to the 3 color screen. So, my question here if I download again and try to reflash, I won't get the "image corrupt file message" since the unlocker doesn't recognize my device connected to the PC in autobat run? Thanks in advance for your help in this one.
[HTC Excalibur] Scrappydog:
Image corrupt...

Hi, first post. First smartphone too (yesterday). wm5, wm6, wm6.1, wm6.5... I really like wm6.5 so far. That image corrupt thing? For me it was cuz I wasn't clicking on continue at the "jump" screen (on the phone). Phone was dark and I didn't see it. Anyway, subsequent loads have gone smoothly. I don't even feel the need to "unlock" every time cuz it just works.

thanks everybody!
[HTC Excalibur] Scrappydog:
If someone can help NOOB find or install opera (this ROM, need the long instructions) I would sure appreciate it. IE sux.
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
Easiest way I found is this, since the "install Opera" button in the "Tweaks" folder doesn't work.

1. Go to this link on your PC and download the .jar file. (actually, you could probably go to it on the Dash, too, but it'd be a long type-in)

2. Copy the .jar to anywhere on your Dash. Personally, I have a folder on my SD card called "Install Files", where I keep installers.

3. Open up Java from the Phone's Start Menu.

4. Click 'Menu', select 'Install', then 'Local Files'.

5. Wait. The phone will search for .jar's on your device.

6. Select the one like "opera-mini-4.2blahblahblah" and press 'Go'.

After that and a few questions the phone will ask you, you will be done.

Note: In Opera, under Menu -> Tools -> Settings, un-check "Auto-complete address input", as there are some letters that don't get keymapped properly in Opera/Java. This will make the browser usable.
[HTC Excalibur] Scrappydog:
Perfect, Thanks so much!
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Redownload and tried to flash again, I got "the Image corrupt file message". Is there any other way that the unlocker recognizes the phone when it's on the 3 color screen?
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Only one I can answer for you, Mini weather isn't working on 6.5. Leaves some crazy home screen issues that are just a bit different from how it turned out on energy 6.1. With any luck, NRG will find time to work on updating it for this ROM but the dude has more than enough coals in the fire as it is....I'm just glad he found the time to put this together :p
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Even better as you really want the signed version "no asking do u want to connect"

On phone go to www.mini.opera.com

You will see the link don't click the link, click if this version fails to install "somethin like that" XD

Then choose the top download "multi-signed"

Follow the promps making sure to tick always allowed to connect on install.
[HTC Excalibur] walliester:
damm thanks bro a lot for taking your time to do this,oh by the way my chick liked it too.. lol
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
So.... what else does this ROM need guys ? I'll be uploading an IE5 version soon. It looks like I gotta fix the "Install Opera" script. The comm manager link in the bottom Settings panel. What else ? (maybe one of these lazy weekend I'll update miniweather to work with 6.5 hehe)
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
