I'm STILL experiencing annoying problems with the FTP - namely that it doesn't support the commonest method of changing directories, CDUP. This is just stupid, there's no reason why CDUP can't be enabled (at the moment I have to manually specify folders to go back to if I want to navigate back to the root from being in a particular subfolder!)
Also, for some reason I tried to connect to the FTP with my Hermes over 3G in Opera Mobile, specifying the username and the password inside the actual URL (xda:[email protected]) and Opera STILL asked me for a username and password to log onto the server. And then, when I typed it in, it didn't like it, and kept on asking me again and again and again... The same Error 550 Permission Denied.
The forum's been (almost) sorted; please someone go take a look at the FTP and see if these problems can be sorted! I love the irony of not being able to access the FTP from an actual HTC device 8)

What happens if you only enter the usernamen/password when Opera asks for it?
CDUP enabled... Awesome.
Re the Opera problem: same result. 550 error every time. Very curious, gotta be the way which it initiates the FTP transaction... Tried to packet sniff in promiscuous mode but I don't have wifi on my PC (getting a laptop soon but don't have it yet, so can't wifi packet sniff) and for some reason I couldn't pick up any packets coming from my PDA on the wifi network even though I'm connected via cat5 (so in theory I should see the traffic in wireshark)... I feel too ill to go messing about trying to make it work though, just thought I'd let you know it still doesn't work. Very odd.
Kudos for the CDUP enablement though.
Okay, maybe I am just stupid or something, but a LOT of the links that point to the FTA are broken. So I did a little reading and now connect with an FTP application. After doing some browsing around, most of the files are gone. What's up? Am I missing something? All I want to do is downgrade the phone (Cingular 8125).
Edit.... Okay now I read somewhere else that the roms have all been removed per a request from MS. Is this the issue and I am not really being that stupid?
a lot of files missing at Blueangle
Hi, i use to download BA rom at ftp site but now most of the roms is missing left only directory only.
Site Admin: The Black Helicopters are Coming!
I don't want to be the party pooper but I like this site and wish for it to be around for a long time:
The uploads area is again showing a bunch of full or dumped ROM images. I count no less than ten ROM dumps/updates in the Hermes directory.
CDUP enabled
CDUP enabled
Is this? correct in saying there are no admins for the Prophet, Atom or Magician FTP areas?
yes
yes, don't worry

Could there be made a folder under the blackstone thread for dumping roms?
I don't want to flood the thread with multiple files in the root.

There's now a Blackstone upload folder, and within that is a ROM folder.
i can't get within the blackstone upload folder (error 550 failed to change dir)
Any thoughts? I put my files in the upload section in the general folder (xdaupload)
Hopefully they will get to the right section
Thx
I found a glitch I've been trying to work around. I use an XDA IIs from O2 with the current Asian WWE O2 ROM in English ;-). Well if I connect to GPRS and use the internet for whatever amount of time I need it for, and disconnect, connect again, and disconnect, it will eventually freeze up the connection when I try to connect again. Either way after like 3 GPRS usages I must softreset in order to connect to GPRS, anyone have this same problem? I would like WM5 but I've upgrade and downgraded 4 times, its just not for my phone, its too slow even with overclocking.
i had the same problem~
and found this as the solution from somewhere in the search

Here is a step by step instruction:
1. Download the older version of caller-id from:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/CAB_Files/Caller ID/IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB
and transfer it over to your device. Any directory is OK. I used ActiveSync to put it into the My Documents folder.
2. Remove the file IA_CD-Startup.exe from \Windows\Startup on your device.
3. Rename iacontacts.dll to something else (e.g. old-iacontacts.dll). This file is in the \Windows directory of your device but is hidden. However you can rename it using your PC. Open Windows explorer, and navigate to Mobile Device>My PocketPC>Windows.
4. Rename displayCID.dll to something else (e.g. old-displayCID.dll). Access it via your PC the same as for the previous step.
5. Soft reset
6. Run the CAB file on the device - just tap on it.
7. Soft reset.
That should do it.

Hi there,
I posted a problem today that doesn't sound quite like the one above.. but maybe it is... please read my post (don't want to make a mess by posting here too) and let me know if you think the caller id could the issue.
Thanks.

Hi there,
following my reply on the other thread, I found this one & followed the instructions. Since then I can always connect & disconnect GPRS and never need to use flight mode to re-activate GPRS

So far... soooo good. Strange that caller id would cause the issue. I also downloaded a "Keep your GPRS connection alive" app from another posting. That may be helping as well. Either way, no headaches thus far.
Thanks!
Sorry for my being so inept on this but I have an 838 from Australia and I wanted to change it to use in the US on my ATT/Cingular account. It only displays Asia/Pacific countries so I can't select ATT for internet connection.
I have Vista Business and tired to install the Hard-SPL but even though I've been able to sync my contacts and calendar directly to my laptop, the Hard-SPL dies and says it can't connect to my 838.
I took the next route of trying to install the ATT build with the boot loader but get invalid vendor ID.
The phone works with UMTS ATT as the carrier but I can't connect to my email via the web since I can't set the connection.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you install and run the HTC Network Wizard, you should be able to select United States/AT&T and let it do all the configuration for you.
Once installed, the shortcut icon should appear in Settings/Connections.
File attached.
Seriously though, if you are gonna try to stuff around with the os without knowing what can happen INSTALL HARD SPL... Look on page 116, post #1160 of this thread to do it with the sd card - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...
Thanks for the suggestions. I keep trying to install the Hard-SPL but following the instructions, it says that WMDC on Vista must be running and it does in fact connect to the 838, but as soon as I try to run the install, it disconnects and ends up coming back with an error that says it can't talk to the device. Frustrating.
Also, since I'm having this comm problem between my laptop and the 838, is it possible to load the Hard-SPL software on miniSD chip and execute it from there?

Yes you sure can. Make sure you read the instructions on how to flash from SD first!
Already gave you directions to instructions to find out how to flash via sd card... All programs needed are in the link I gave you WITH the post # too...

Thanks to all. Now have it working. Really only needed to install and run the unlimited Network Wizard and it all came into place.
Thanks again
Hello,
I am new to this forum, and I have read through a lot of the links and threads about this, but I have not found the answer to my question. Will these ROM Updates work on a HTC S621 that I have through Unicel? The phone is unlocked, but I dont know if that means that I still have to download the file that will unlock my phone? I am very interested and eager to upgrade my pnone to Windows Mobile 6.1, but I am honestly afraid that my inexperience with doing something of this nature will "brick" my phone and I will be without a phone. It irrates me to no end that neither HTC or Unicel are going to bother to come out with an official update for this phone, so if I want the lastest update to the phone, I have to go through unofficial channels. Could someone please tell me if this will even work for my phone before I try to do it? Thank you
Larry
Yes it will work sir, just follow the tutorial and upgrade... The tutorial is linked below in my signature... Also, as a beginner I would recommend using Ricky's rom version 24. ... if you need any help let me know okay... also, make sure you run connection setup after the upgrade...
Am I going to have a problem, or should I do something different since the instructions seem to be written for a phone on T-Mobile? I am really fretting about bricking my phone and I dont know if Unicel will do anything for me if I happen to brick the phone because I did something wrong. I would really like to try flashing the ROM on the phone to Windows Mobile 6.1, but I am just nervous, I guess. Thanks for the help and wish me luck
Larry
You should be fine if you read it over (print it out) and can follow directions. The main problems people run into are keyboard layouts and 270 errors.

Yah exactly just read and follow instructions word for word...
nobody on this site can promise that nothing will go wrong, but it is usually determine that when something does go wrong, it is because the instructions were not being followed.
you sound a little too nervous to me to be trying this, you may want to either find someone else to do this for you, or take a deep breath, have a beer, and then dive in.
i've done this three times without an issues.
I did it to my unicel S621, and works wonderful! pm me if you need the internet settings after...
He will definitely need the internet settings... for sure...
yes, I need the internet settings please. also, how do I get rid of the "fav5" thing off the phone?
Thanks

which version are you using? which rom version (i.e. are you using Rickys or Kavana's)
If you are using Ricky's go all the way down to the last thing on the homescreen which should be settings... and then scroll to the right to Chome settings and then in there you can unclick everything you do not like... everything that is bolded will show up on your homescreenv and everything not bolded will not show up..... then restart your phone and you should be on the go...
Hello,
Okay, I have successfully installed "Ricky's" ROM. I followed the steps to the letter in the newbie thread. I installed the keymapping .CAB file. My phone needs the Unicel Internet settings. I have once before reset my phone back to factory specs, which required that I have to go into the local Unicel store and get the internet settings and install them, the problem now is that I could use Wi-Fi to access the internet before with my phone, even though I couldnt through my data plan/cell service. Since I updated the ROM, I cannot even access the new through Wi-Fi. In the instructions, it states that you should run the connection wizard, but the problem is it only lists T-Mobile, AT&T, and Carolina in my phone, not Unicel. I know that the GSM partner of Unicel was bought by AT&T, but I dont want to set my phone to that because I dont know if it will screw everything up if I do.
So what advice can you offer me? Will getting the Internet Settings from Unicel or member Outragis solve all of my problems? Thank you for any suggestions! By the way, I Love the new Windows Mobile 6.1, now I just have to learn how to use it!
Thank You,
Larry

Yes just private message that guy that said has the Unicell internet settings as you will need them in there and especially for receiving MMS (picture messages)... so just ask him to give them to you and I bet he will be more than happy to provide you with them.
I did PM him, I hope to hear back from him soon. I Imagine I would need to use Active Sync at home to download the updates to my phone.
Thanks for the help and advice, I am really liking the new interface!

I need Help!
Okay, so I am trying to find the files I need so that my HTC S621 that I have through Unicel to work and connect to the internet. I have contacted Unicel and they sent me a link to a file, and this is supposed to work, but it doesnt.
Here is the email:
Subject: Doing a Hard reset on the HTC621 will remove all Unicel settings
Issue/ Findings:
After doing a hard reset on the HTC S621 you will no longer have any Unicel settings and will need to reinstall them for WAP and MMS. To hard reset the HTC S621 (with the HTC S621 powered OFF) press and hold the 2 soft keys and than press the power button. Do not let go of the soft keys until you see the message to reset your HTC by pressing the send button.
Resolution:
The setting can be reinstalled into the HTC S621 by using a CAB file and a Micro SD card. The File has been posted on the internet and can be installed 2 ways.
Option 1: Active sync
From your PC go to http://www.unicel.com/devices/htsc621.html and download the zip file to your PC. Open the zip file and extract all the files within to your PC. Once this is done you should see the folder 2577 on your PC. Now connect your HTC S621 to your PC (you will need ActiveSync for this part and a memory card) and open Explore. Open “My windows mobile-based device”. Now drag or copy and paste folder 2577 from your PC to “Storage Card”. Once this is complete, unplug your device from your PC and power-cycle your device. After waiting a few seconds, you will get a prompt to do an auto-configure, press yes and your files will be installed. Once the auto-configure is complete, you will be asked to do a restart. Press yes to restart and all the settings the device had at the time of purchase should now be on the device.
After the device has power cycled, a change needs to be made to the GPRS Authentication to ensure connectivity. Please follow the steps below:
Start
Settings
Connections
GPRS
Unicel Info2Go
scroll to authentication type
CHAP
Done
End
Option 2: SD card reader
From your PC go to http://www.unicel.com/devices/htsc621.html and download the zip file to your PC. Open the zip file and extract all the files within to your PC. Once this is done you should now see the folder 2577on your PC. Now open your SD reader, with your memory card installed in the reader, drag the entire 2577 folder to the SD card. Once this action is complete, install the SD card into the S621 and turn on the device. After waiting a few seconds, you will get a prompt to do an auto-configure, press yes and your files will be installed. Once the auto-configure is complete, you will be asked to do a restart. Press yes to restart and all the settings the device had at the time of purchase should now be on the device.
After the device has power cycled, a change needs to be made to the GPRS Authentication to ensure connectivity. Please follow the steps below:
Start
Settings
Connections
GPRS
Unicel Info2Go
scroll to authentication type
CHAP
Done
End
Okay, so I downloaded the file and did what it said, but it is not auto running the file and doing anything. Is this because I upgraded the ROM and the file will not work with Windows Mobile 6.1? I am getting a little flustered and I love the new OS, but I would like to be able to use the internet on the phone. I cant even connect to the internet through Wi-Fi.
Does someone have the correct setting file for a Unicel HTC S621 that I could have to get my phone working right? I would appreciate it!
Thank You
Larry
Couldn't you just add them manually
Start - settings - then each add settings...
I'm surprised Unicel doesn't make them easier to access
This link might help but your easiest bet is getting the guy who commented to read you his.

Running out of memory?
I recently did the Kavana 6.1 upgrade on my Unicel/AT&T HTC S621. Everything is working fine except that the phone is constantly running out of memory (Which, actually, is not really fine...) Using the Free Memory app doesn't really work, as it will free only a KB or so, and it doesn't show the correct amount of RAM, in any case (usually around 5K instead of the 64K actually ob board). Any ideas?
Oh yes, and also, the phone now calls itself a C720W, which is a Dopod (Asian carrier) version of the S621... Anyone else?
Thanks,
John
Hello,
i have made a Firmware Downloader that had the availability to download all Samsung Mobile Fimrwares, but since march this year samsung changed the server, and is using a new system for getting the data. However this tool could help someone who maybe find the new way to download firmwares, it has already access to the old server, only the firmwares are all transfered to the neofus server.
It could help someone, maybe, because i am not allowed to do anything here, cause i am new, i will try to support the new developers.
It is developed in C# .net 4 and you will need kies installed, or the fuscryptlib registered, found in the kies folder or in the app folder.
regsvr32 %Path%/fuscrypt.dll
Should i explain that this downloader had the availability to download also android fw and so on? maybe there is someone who can made it.
It was before march the ultimate tool to get every fw from the server. I tried at my own to make a new one, the my developer mentor tried it, we failed due to lack of time.
Just downloaded the "Slyfer300" app. The UI is superb. Just a pity Samsung has changed the server to their firmwares and we cannot use this tool for now. Let's hope and pray someone comes up and lend a hand to complete this wonderful app. So that we can easily download and flash firmwares manually without the need for kies.
I included a screenshot of this superb app below for the eyes only (until it becomes a fully functional app)
The App worked a half year, samsung changed the servers since March 2011, i was before here @badanation.de and developed it in the past. The app was secret and we offered for everyone free Firmwares of their desire, the only rule was only for badanation members.
I puplished it, cause maybe someone here @xda could make it work with the new server that was a cool time when you start the app and you can download any firmware you want.
The old system was based on a PL/SQL query over PHP, i have found a bug in the system and could request the whole Database from the Firmwares, you can see in advanced mode what was possible.
Also user names and their ... was visible, but i newer wonted to damage samsung i always wanted to help other users with the firmware problems we all have.
The new System is a little bit tricky signatures and so on no more php
As i know here was some nice developers @xda that could maybe improve it. Let us see what the feature brings to us.
Hi, nice tool. Unfortunately it's not working with the new servers. I have made a tool that can download the latest firmware from samsungs new servers, but it still requires an old firmware as input. I have not found any way to browse all firmwares like you could on the old server. A lot have chenged in the way you request firmwares and it unfortunately no possible to reuse this tool on the new server.
Yes, it was not simple to find out the right PL/SQL commands for oracle, it was more a doing by trying thing. But as i saw it on keys the listening method still exists on new server, it is the same database, only with a new system. I have done some Kies 2 researches but than give up, cause of lack of time. I had a tool that can download with the new request system.
Only what you need is to pass through the right PL/SQL command, in Kies you find an CarrierTestMode and ServiceCenterMode, one of this two can listen the whole Phonebinary databases, the code is to huge, i havent done a lot since the half year slyfer worked.
Its in a case simply only need to find out the right command, also what is neccessary to find a security whole on new server, on the old server, it was prohibited to execute SQL statements except of predefined calls, but i found a way as you see, it was more an oracle bug, how you can get anyway in and become the whole database information with dictionary commands out, it was at least so easy to get everything out of there. Then i have done some facelifting and made for me an advanced mode to be prepared of changes, but at the near end it doesnt worked any more.
I think you can get in like kies withouth authentification, as before, cause there is no username or password needet if the table is accessable by everyone, its like free to air.
If you need some tips, how i have found out the way in, i can help you. i dont know how to encrypt the new way, but i know that the answer is in the FusCipherUtil.dll it hink it is named so, dont know it exactle, kies is like an open book as you also seems to know.
Forgotten one thing, if you try to send SQL command that listen whole database, then you will get in timeout, cause oracle needs time to collect all the data, i had problems to recieve simple sized calls from it, so you must limit them that you can recieve the data in time everything over an minuete dont works as i remember.
1250 rows around was for my requests the maximum, everything above, througn a server timeout.
