hello friends,
i have a Tmobile Dash that can't downgrade bootloader using SPL's bootloader from xda-developers FTP.
it says "invalid vendor ID"
while the application is running, it seems to be fine
a little screen on tmobile dash appears like [..................] 0%
then comes to 100% and equipment just restarts
but when i see the main program window, it says
"invalid vendor ID"
help? its a unlockeable model?
thanks 4 your help
you will have to unlock your device from imei-check.co.uk. It costs about 40 bucks US and will unlock the device for any carrier's SIM as well as unlock the CID (which is necessary for loading other ROMS).
Once you go through that process (I did it last night) you can then successfully run the bootloader downgrade.
Once that's done, put on any ROM you choose.
Works great!

Anyone know of a way to debrand the Tmobile Dash to get all of thier splash screens off of it?
Flash with the ROM posted in this thread. There are pluses and minuses to both. I like the S620 ROM myself. The only thing I miss is the ability to hold a key down to get the corosponding symbol. I don't miss the T-mobile garbage
how well does the rom work. is that the only issue is that you cant hold the keys down to get the other characters??
As long as you are WM literate enough to change the mms/gprs settings to work with your provider. Everything works great
are you refering to the post with this rom?
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Test.exe
making sure I am on the right track.
i would like to know how to do this also without turning my unlocked cingular dash into a brick.

Just follow the direction to the tea. Other than that there are never any promises. But more people successfully flash their ROM then don't

before i get started, what do i need to change speficially to work it with cingular?
is there a way to revert back if it doesnt go well?
I've done this myself with my Dash as I have changed from T-mobile to Cingular.
Make sure that you are CID unlocked. Do not confuse SIM unlocking with CID unlocking. If you need help determining if you are CID unlocked I've got one question, did you pay to get CID unlocked? If yes then you know what you are doing but if no then you are not CID unlocked and it will not flash. Getting a SIM unlock code from T-mobile allows you to use other carriers but you still cannot flash the phone with just a SIM unlock.
Flashing the phone is simple, plug it in, let active sync run and then double click the Rom file you've downloaded and follow the instructions. In a few minutes your phone will restart and all of the T-mobile stuff is gone and you are off to a fresh start.
As for settings, you will need to change GPRS and MMS settings like others said. The info you need can be obtained from hofo or cingular's website, it's pretty straight forward.

how do i go about CID Unlocking it?
I have an o2 cosmo in german. I know it is unlocked because I can use my cingular sim card. If I try to flash a new ROM without knowing if it is CID unlocked, would it brick my phone? or would it just not let me do it?. I have changed ROM's before on different HTC's phones but it seems like there is not a lot of reseach on the excalibur.
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!!
I put in the request to Tmobile to get the unlock code for my Dash , once i get it how do i unlock it? I tried to find a thread on this but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated..... Thanks
Put a non T-Mob SIM card in and switch the phone on, a message will come up and there will be a dialog where you can enter the unlock code.
Yep really easy Master Shake, infact i think Meatwad would have known.
Sofa King
ps. don't trust Frylock
Thanks for the info... I am having a problem flashing a custom rom and i was told in another thread that sim unlocking my Dash might help .Everytime i try to flash a rom i get an error that says ...cant find update utility or the image is corupt.
So i will give it a try when i get home from work.

It is not a virus.
Kaspersky, sometimes AVG detect it as a trojon or virus because the program is packed to prevent it from being cracked.

Hey could you explain to me how to do this? What it is? ect. i am a bit of a noob. lol
As i had the same issues as the guy above.
orange codes
with orange phones you may have to enter twice.
so once you have entered and it will ask you again .
enter the code again and it will work
Once i enter the code it says "Network Unlock Successful" but when i get to the main screen i have no signal, and if i reboot the phone it asks for the unlock code again, help would be appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
Same here. Tried everything. Rooted it, flashed with custom firmware MoDaCo. Bought code from HTCCode.com (ripoff). And now am waiting for the isim 2008 from DealExtreme ...
Don't be fooled by HTCCode, like I was. They profess to be able to unlock any phone to any operator. They hadn't bargained for the HTC Tattoo on Orange and probably some other flavours.....
My understanding, and feel free to correct if I'm wrong, is that there's a radio ROM that has been tied down by Orange and at last check they haven't been able to flash it (i.e. get rid and replace by a less tied down one). Within that ROM there's a CID check which doesn't want to respond to any code you throw at it.
My advice is pick up a vanilla Tattoo (play.com do them now for £180), or you could try an iSmartSim (it didn't work for me, but there have been reports of some success)

AGREED!
Here is MY experience with HTCCODE (also known as member "ferraripassion"), and his pathetic attempts to unlock an HD2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657751
I am amazed the admins allow him to continue to prey on members here!
HTCCODE finally DID come across for me. It took some "work"... He claims he sent the code last night.. not quite the "2 minutes" that were brandished, but I did receive it, nonetheless, So I wasn't "ripped off."
Just setting the record clear (for ANYONE who actually cares).
Hi i'm buy code from htcsimunlock . com and key doesn't work, after 24h they didn't refund money. Anyone who has experience with them?
Don't get in trouble!
Somtimes it is easier spending 15 Eruros and 30 minutes than trying magic.
Just one advice. The process erase the data, so remember to do a NAND BackUp before.
I did it before changing from Vodafone to Simyo.
Now i have got a free Tattoo and also changed the ROM.
Just pm me if you need a code

I´ve juste received the notice from cellunlocker that they cant get a code for my S6 Edge T-Mobile. They refunded me the money today.
A friend of mine managed to get a code from a different source, but the code is not working.
I am looking for another way to unlock it.
I ´ve seen nothing by software until today.
Hope you can find a way to unlock it. Please inform if you succeed. I'll do the same.

Those codes won't work (Not that they are wrong but because of the Tmobile Rom). I have been able to successful unlock the SM-920T by flashing the SM-G920T1 rom (Metro) but because the S6 edge is not released on Metro i am trying to find out an international rom that would work. I just tried the Tmobile Germany Rom and it failed.

Exactly, that is what I am waiting for , to finally be able to accomplish the unlock for g925t...
Just so you know, that once you unlock it, you cannot go back to the T-mobile rom, or your unlock will go back to failure....
Just wanted to let you know......
This method works for sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxOuHIUWAFk
I can do it for you and even support 5.1.1 . no rooting needed no teamviewer.
yes , via S3X box, its a way, flashing out a custom cert, i paid to theunlockpros ,25 bucks, in 10 minutes they do the magic remotely , im very happy , super fast
by any chance can you unlock the lg g4 model H811?
The most surefire way to get your unlock code is to finish paying for your phone. At least if you are in the US. It is the law. They have to give you the unlock code if you OWN the phone. If you are currently financing it then you have to try this way. But I warn you Triple warn even WARNING WARNING WARNING no mater what anyone says. unlocking your phone by these means will get you what you want but you will have boot problems later. Your EFS gets totally screwed from doing the remote unlock. Don't say I didn't warn you.
*EDIT*
Plus stealing is really bad karma anyway.

vouch for that guy!! he's unlock my phone, but you need to root your phone tho
there is a tmoblie app on the phone that lets you request an unlock. look in the tmoblie folder in the app drawer. After that, activate Dev options by hitting the build number and turn on OEM unlocking in the dev options
