How to upgrade to wm6 with htc-620 free.

My excalibur is not original locked, i want to upgrade to wm6, but when i try to upgrade, i got a message error `[244].
Is not possible to upgrade if the phone is not a t-mobile dash?
Thanks

Run the installer again once you get that error message. Should be fine.

i think doesnt works, the same message error; invalid model....
thanks

Ahhh, invalid model ID! Sorry, I must have misunderstood... You need to download the bootloader upgrade first.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/smartphones/Excalibur/RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe
Run that and then try upgrading.

I don't know where that bootloader downgrade came from but whoever did it deserves a medal.
Allowed me to go from T-Mobile WM6 back to HTC s620. Without it, I'd have been screwed.

same result
with spl-1.11 upgrade only same result, id error.... any solution?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
as far as I know the only way is to unlock your phone with http://www.imei-check.co.uk

if this Update SPL 1.11 also doesn't work you'll have to unlock with IMEI-check and do this steps

but my pne is free
my phone is free, i have shop without any operator, original unlocked.
Thanks

it coud works with the modifid update with imeicheck?
I have modified these two parameters, but i have not unlock code because my htc-620 is original unlocked.
thanks in advance

The unlock which is necessary is to set the phone in "engineering mode" so that it accepts every ROM. This has nothing to do with SIM or net lock.
IMEI check sets your phone into that mode to remove SIM/net lock.
So it's a 2in1 unlock.
So even your phone accepts every SIM you have to unlock it to this engineering mode with IMEI-check. ATM there is no other known method to do this.

then, i need to send my imei to imeicheck to unlock in order to access to the engine mode?
Thanks!!

TMo Dash SIM unlock Experiments..

i have tried a method posted somewhere that you use the DASHUnlock and RUUUpgrade program to write any rom to your phone.. Now when i insert SIM from another carrier, says something like FATAL ERROR. Data Crashed, contact your service operator
is there a way to fix it? (obviously im in research status, so if there isnt a answer, im goin to keep looking
also i've been experimenting with the SPL_1.11 alternate bootloader and now my Tmo Dash says at startup
(Tmo splash)
Excalibur PV
SPL 1.11 SPE MFG
(what means this? is bootloader corrupted?)
BR!!

I was guessing that the fatal error message is something designed by IMEI-check to prevent people using their bootloader for free.

Somewhere at the end of those instructions would have been a statement telling you not to worry about the datacrash error, and just re-unlock your phone. worked like a charm on my htc 620

how you relock your phone??
and.. i flashed the original T-Mobile ROM WM5 but phone still saying the same thing..

Applying T-Mobile WM6 ROM to UNLOCKED Original HTC620

Hi Guys and Gals,
so spend all day surfing through this postings here and could not find a reliable way to put the T-Mobile WM6 update on to my Original unbranded and UNLOCKED HTC 620.
Found one post about using some patching including IMEACHECK as the passwod... but can use that as it talks about unlocking , which I dont need ... or do I...
Thnaks for all the help in advance as this will hopefully not only me, but also others seeking to do the same...
Cheers

Hi,
you can do the update in the exact way described here (you need the imeicheck unlocker and a unlock key for your mobile).

Thats the one I am refereing to it dont work... still said that i need another updater...
does any one else know how to get this done

Can you tell what's the steps you are taking and what's giving the error in details? I upgraded two units with the process and have no issues.
Keep in mind, unlocking the phone via imei-check or other sources is necessary, as you need to CID unlock the unit, which the unl file and dashv2unlock.exe does. My units were both SIM unlocked, but for the upgrade process you have to CID unlock it too, as you are using a ROM from a different provider. Also don't forget to patch the updater and nbh files, exactly as listed.

I did all mentioned including the patching of the files except the unlock part as my device came straight from HTC. Are u meaning that although this is direct from HTC that I still have to go through some unlocking steps ?
what is this unl file and the dashv2unlock.exe ????
Thanks

Yes, as I stated in my previous post, your device needs to be CID unlocked, and HTC devices are CID locked (SIM lock or in other words network provider lock is different, I know HTC devices are SIM unlocked).
CID locking will prevent you to apply different provider released ROMs. Simply go to http://www.imei-check.co.uk/dashunlock.php (or another Dash CID unlock provider), supply your IMEI, make the payment, and you'll receive access to two files:
dashv2unlock.exe - The application to run on PC to fully unlock the unit
yourimeinumber.unl - Unlock file generated by imei-check, specific to your unit's IMEI number
And follow the info to the point. It will work then. I used it on two Rogers HTC S621 units, both were SIM unlocked, CID locked.

WM6 on Qtek (htc) S200

Hello everybody.
I am trying to update my phone, with WM6.0, however I am getting a country id error. The version I got for testing reasons is WWE. My IMEI is 35703600732450***
Could anyone help me, how am I suppose to achieve that?

there are flashtools with noID.exe in the end which dont
fail on country id errors
try looking for your device at buzzdev.net

Thanx Rudegar
However, I have an unlocked device. I unlocked it throud imei-chek.co.uk paid service. Will this help, or I still have to use a noID.exe?

If you have your device unlocked than that error shouldnt occur. However if you still get it then its inevitable i'd say to use the noID RUU.

my himalaya was never sim locked
but if i try to flash it using HimaUpgradeUt.exe i get
that error
when i flash it using HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
i dont
the noID at least in my case have to do with operator settings
not simlocks and the likes
if the rom dont know the operator code it will give that error

Ok, thanx. I got the files from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1361468#post1361468 and everything worked fine (except that Thai keyboard...)

SPV E600 to WM6 T-mobile ROM help??

I have been searching the net and the forums on help how to do this. Most of what I have found is specific for the HTC and T-mobile dash models, but not seen anything for the orange SPV E600.
I have unlocked the phone with Dashv2unlock program I bought, and tried "RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly" and then tried "RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.22.531.4_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship"
Both of these give me a INVALID ID error.
I am suspecting my phone has only been SIM-unlocked (I can use my O2 sim card), but not CID-unlocked? I thought these programs do both?? Do I need a separate program to CID unlock?
Is this a problem specific to the orange SPV E600?
What am I doing wrong????

You phone is CID Locked,

original poster said he/she bought the Dashv2unlock program !!! ... which is a free program that works on the "PAID" UNL file for the specific IMEI ...
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/dashunlock.php
therefore ... I think that the unlocking procedure wasn't done correctly ...
just my $0.02

LOL, that's what i get when i don't get to read and understand the query.
I agree, unlocking procedure wasn't done correctly.

Thanks guys. I actually went through www.imei-check.co.uk before, and as you correctly pointed out I bought a .unl file specific to my IMEI code, went through the screens just like shown on the website but although my phone will now take my O2 sim, it is still giving me an INVALID ID.
Has anyone succesfully done this with an SPV E600??
Is there a step missing somewhere? I read somewhere about having to run the unlocker program twice, which I have tried with no luck still.

Yay it works!
Ok, just to update.
I managed to update my rom to with the "RUU_Excalibur_HTC_RUS_1.24.411.1_4.1.13." rom instead and this was without having to flash a bootloader to begin with.
So if there are any SPV E600 users out there, the above rom works VERY VERY WELL.
