A while ago Dopod published a new ROM for HTC Excalibur:
CID: DOPOD001
version: 1.15.707.2
language: USA
Download: RUU_Excalibur_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.15.707.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
Enjoy!
does this also work for the Dash or is it a s620 ROM only
I am wondering if this works on the dash or do I need to unlock it? Also, I am hoping this will work with BB Connect since it was released by Dopod just a week ago...
OK.
I am doing it now and I am flashing my DASH with the Dopod ROM. I was holding off on flashing with the test rom before and I didn't do the SPL bootloader upgrade. I'll confirm if it works with BBConnect.
EDIT: Looks like it doesn't work with TMobile DASH...It returned invalid model ID error. I am going to try and upgrade the bootloader first and see.
It didn't work for me. It looks like my dash needs to be cid unlocked first. I tried to do the bootloader upgrade and it didn't work for me. My unit just sim unlocked. How do I go about unlocking the cid as well?
Thanks
if you figure out how to CID unlock yours let me know..
if only spv developers would consider updating there spv services so that it cid unlocks the dash would be nice,?
MAN you are awesome bro!

BUT just one question how come you have not been able to get your hands on the tmobile dash rom just asking do not take it the wrong way please?????
does this rom only supports USA or also other languages?
what's new in that ROM guys?
IMEI-CHECK will CID unlock it for $38 until someone writes a free app to do it.
38 bucks its too much money ! rather dante to spv developers and have them update the spv services to be capable to cid unlock the dash!
is there a change log for this ROM??
Hmmm.. I get an error [294] invalid Vendor Error. Weird Cuz i can Flash the HTC Excalibur test roms with no problem..
Here's the explanation of the error from the rom Readme file:
ERROR [242] : INVALID LANGUAGE
ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY
One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.
So whats the difference in this rom and the test rom? How is it running any bugs? and the improvement

Does anyone know who wrote the program for the old XDAs and the Wizard? Perhaps they can update it relatively easily to work on the Excalibur. Is there any other way to fool the program into thinking this is the right device and force the upgrade????

I have an HTC Excalibur and i still can't flash this rom. I think the ROM is CID locked thats why..
I have an unocked DASH and was able to load up the dopod rom. first you have to load up the boot loader rom thats and the ftp here, then loadup the dopod rom. I've had my dash unlock since day one from imei-check.
it loaded up just fine. the big difference i've noticed is that now when I hold down a key the alternate keys charater appears like in the tmobile rom. The font is a little bit bigger, which don't mind at all. I'm using the dash on cungular currently. i've noticed my call clarity is a bit better and the recption is better.
later,

I am getting Country ID error when I am trying to install it
As per my usual request...
If anyone DOES manage to get it installed, can they run Cleartype and see if it is 'GOOD' Cleartype, like the O2 ROMS, or useless, garbled and coloury Cleartype, as per the Orange ROMS please?
As for the Country Code error, is it a T-Mobile or UK device you are installing on?
if not, you'll need to edit the nbf files for the correct country.
How to edit those files? TIA
NBF files are passworded, can't seem to open them in editor

I have now the country error with the 1.72.
How you fix it ?
thanks
I tried to upgrade my dutch mda pro to the new qtek 9000 rom after I had upgraded to the new english t-mobile mda pro rom.
He wil start i an calibrate and al that and then you get the customisation and after that reset and he starts again and you must calibrate again enzo....
But after two or three times you get the message DEVICELOCK
you have got this rom illegally
what do I do??? More important how do I get my mda pro working again with t-mobile rom??
And yes I did follow the instructions on upgrading using the bootloader principle.....
Any news on this problem? I haven't tried the update, yet, but would of course hate it to get this error...
Yes, you have downloaded the wrong ROM. with that lock in it.
Try another one.

Any other will do. Just try it.
I think this one is the best because it the first and only one that support AKU2 and A2DP:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe
I do not think the roms on xda-developers ftp site are locked.
Maybe the device itself is locked.
Did dadio22 flash with this UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe rom?
This rom is not locked.

I had one rom on the xda ftp server that had this devicelock.
Ehm it has simlock on it still but I used the new qtek rom(UNI_QTEK_WWE_13077_130176_10900_WWE_Ship) that was available on xda but I got it to work changed the provider to t-mobile and updated it again and it works again. But I don't think it works alright have got a few errors which I didn't have with the new t-mobile uk update.
Does anybody know what causes this because if it happens a lot more I think I want that t-mobile rom back. Is that possible because I think it would be a downgrade.....
wel to be honest, its a newproblem , ive never heard about ti before, as far as i know, u should ve had the Country ID error, rom locks and stuff, are to be detected through the uploader utility, but after you install it sucessfully on the system u get such an error, ik durf niet te zeggen dat ik iets over dit problem ooit heb gehoord
help
I have got the same problem. After the install from 02 rom to the qtek i get a message saying that i have illegally acquired the rom and device is locked.

wow! this is the first time i've read about a device that's got locked due to an upgrade. i don't have a qtek (it's from the stingy '3' right?? ) but i've flashed several UK's m5000 and one S'pore's Dopod using every available Rom, including qtek's (just to see the differences) with no probs except countryID error on dopod. which i solved by unlocking it with Buzz's Uni_unlock program to make Super CID unlock (even tho' it is a factory sim and network unlock device but just from another region/country).
As thereis only one latest rom release that i know of (from Orange), i am sure all the roms available here and at buzzdev.net has no device lock. i guess the problem could lie with your bootloader version. if it's not BL 1.00 or 1.01 why not change it to these first bfor flashing other roms.
other than that it must be hardware related which is unlikely as the device is made by htc and only renamed qtek, and for qtek to change or tinker with it could infringe on htc's copyright.
It was only the qtek rom i had trouble with. No need for that now since the new AKU 3 rom came out. Worked Great
Hi.... somebody have the update to WM6 of the HTC 621???
The rom of Dash doesn´t work in my HTC 621, the DASH is htc 620..
My carrier is TELCEL and they will not have the update.
Somebody can help me?
Telcel is not going to release WM6 on the HTC S621, I have a HTC S621 from telcel runing WM6. The only way to flash the ROM is to Cid unlock your excalibur paying, I used http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ and it worked perfect.
After unlocking your excalibur you can flash the Tmobile WM6 rom or wait until HTC releases their unbranded ROM update this month.
Yup, better to wait I think
Same here, HTC 621 bought unlocked from Telcel (thru Sanborns) with WM5. Can't wait to have WM6 installed.
Damn HTC, what are they doing? isn't the unbranded ROM ready yet?
Regards.

OK general, ommit that. Sorry, my fault.
Take this:
Anyone motivated for developing an unlocker for Excalibur, like that one for the Hermes or Wizard? I prefer to donate to this forum than giving bucks for sth. that should be free.
Any interested?
htc s261
I have the same problem with the telcel branded, I have downloaded the russian htc upgrade and no luck.. what I'm fearing is that even the htc update is unbraded telcel has branded somehow the phones and it won't accept the htc official upgrade... anythoughts??
of course. its been posted over and over in this thread. you need to unlock your phone if it wasn't purchased directly from htc.
It is supposedly out, and in Russian, but with US/UK ENglish
This rom is in russian, right?

How did you get around the "invalid model ID"?
Did the trick with pof's SPL 1.11 work as suggested by johnnylavah?
Or did you just spend money to IMEI check?
It certailnly worked on my non-supercided HTC S620. If your device is HTC S620 regardles or the OS language it will likely accept update.no supercidding is required. DASH handsets would likely require CID unlocking for this upgrade to work.
1. run bootloader upgrade ( well, downgrade) first
2. run rom updater
This is "IU BUILD. TEST ONLY!" ROM.
Anyways...to get your English back after the ROM is upgraded:
Start --> Settings (Настройка) --> press 7 --> press5:
now, in the top most combo box (Кодировка) :
select UK or US English and press left soft button to confirm
in the next combo box select 3rd from the top entry: English Australia (Английский Австралия) and press left soft button to confirm
now, press left soft button 4 times to confrim that changes will become effective after soft reset.
At this stage you may power cycle you Excalibur
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Radio: 4.1.13.44_02.94.90
Model Name HTC-S620
P.S. You do not need to do anything about QWERTY keyboard layout. It's just plain standard QWERTY after the language settings are applied.
And just in case if you do not like default green colour of the home screen, there is one called WIndows Default available that looks a bit more attractive to me

Nevertheless it's good to know that HTC is still working/testing WM6 for S620! Hope the final version will appear soon!
Dang - No go for my UK S620 either :-(
Is this an original HTC ROM without any branding?
Are there many differences to the T-Mobile WM6 (exept for the branding)?
Yes, original HTC, no extra branding. no extra bloatware. This ROM is very different to T-Mo DASH WM6 ROM. Much, much better this one. Great improvements accross the board.
Is it possible to go back to the WM5 ROM if the WM6 doesn't work out? If so how do you do that?
Upgraded fine S620 WM5 -> WM6
Hi all.
I have just upgraded from from WM5 on a CID unlocked S620 and all seems to be working fine.
Getting out of Russian is a little tricky, but following the steps in this thread worked fine.
TomTom works (as well as it ever has on WM5/6), UK Vodafone GPRS works, Hotmail and Exchange email working, Google Maps runs OK.
No obvious issues or bugs so far.
General performance seems to be comparable to the last WM5 ROM.
Cheers,
John
ahhh ! i tried it too - i have a htc s621 from rogers so i'm guessing it's because it's not CID unlocked? it says ERROR [294] Invalid Vender ID -any fix to this?
securegsm, can you help us out - the ones who are getting the error, my phone's app unlocked but it's locked to rogers. i tried 2 times but i keep getting the same error. how did you get around this? is your phone unlocked already or it's locked to some provider - if it is, how'd you get around the invalid id? i tried it - it didn't work for me
I up rom 6.5 for t-mobile dash.Unlock SDA is ok, and my phone restart is error. "starting ernergyROM" on the screen
Have you tried doing a hard reset? You may need to start over by flashing the original ROM from the bootloader screen and then Unlock SDA and flash the ROM of you choice. Do you notice the number of people who view your post; see you need some help, but offer none?
