Interest in HTC S620 Test ROM? - HTC Excalibur

I just bought an HTC S620 off of eBay and noticed that when I boot up it say IU BUILD TEST....I also have noticed that the WLAN drivers are not installed for some reason. I posted on another forum about my issue and they pointed to your ROMs here.
I guess I can try and install one of the shipped ROMs to get the WLAN drivers installed, but it was also suggested that ya'll might be interested in the current set up and test radio ROM. If it is of interest, please let me know, and tell me how I can get it to you.
Also, anyone know if there is a way for me to just install the WLAN drivers rather than a whole new ROM?

yes please post the info or pm
and could you also tell us what applications you have !

Do you want what applications came installed when I got it?

In the about section of the settings, here is what it says:
Windows Mobile 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack
OS 5.1.461 (Build 15671.3.3.0)
Radio Version 4.1.13.31_02.71.90
RIL Version 2.002
Let me know what I need to do to get it to you....

3.3 is new!!

Is that good?
Only problem is....there is no WiFi drivers on my device!!!!

Please post pics
of you screens ,in regards to the wifi drivers,did you try to google ?

Did I try to google and find the WiFi drivers? Yes. I found nothing. If anyone wants to point me in a direction where I might find them, please let me know

try to search in mobile sites like howard forums i think i had it once for my cingular 2125 i just do not remember where i download the driver from,anyways i am still curious if you have some additional applications on your htc s620 from what i have or homescreen ????

Ok I'm confused....I'm attempting to update the ROM on my S620 to the
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
in an attempt to get the WiFi Drivers on my phone. It says my current image version is 1.16.110.01 and I would be updating to 1.11.405.4
Why would my test version be a later version? Is this smart to overwrite this later version? And how can I save this version first before I overwrite it. Thanks!

yes your rom is newer but it is still a TEST ROM , WICH MEANS that its is not the shipped rom without the bugs and in your case the wifi drivers that is why it is a test rom,if you want to install a shipped htc s620 rom then go ahead be sure to downgrade the bootloader first!!!!!

I already installed the above shipped HTC S620 ROM. All I did is run the exe file and let it install. I did not downgrade the bootloaded. In fact, I have no idea what that means?
Everything seems to be working fine on the phone now though, and WiFi is now available
What issue might I have with not downgrading the bootloader?

you will have a downraded bootloader as a result

Any ideas on where to find the ROM, now that they are not being hosted at xda-developers?

O2 XDAII ROM upgrade failed?

I have just downloaded the rom upgrade off the O2 website (ver 1.60.50) and installed. Initially it was trying to connect to the internet! Eventually I got it working, but after hard resetting the version still says 1.60.00wwe, Rom date 12/03/03, extRom ver 1.60.50 - all as before.
Does anyone know if the upgrade has actually worked but the info not been updated, or does this mean that the update hasn't worked and I must have had an error somewhere?
Any help, advise appreciated.
I thought these forums where to help each other out and provide information. It is disappointing that no one wants to help, or provide a little guidance.

Absolutely nothing changed?
I thought it's not possible? Did you see a progress bar on XDA's display during the upgrade? if so, the memory has been accessed, so your rom is the new one, there is just a mess in identification. As far as I know, extROM changes the identity (it is it's main purpose), did you use it?

Maybe I'm wrong - but it seems that you are upgrading from 1.60.50 to 1.60.50. Right? As such, everything WOULD be the same!
I did see the progress bar, and the documentation before the upgrade on the O2 website sugests the Rom to be 1.60.00wwe and the extRom to be 1.60.50
I would have expected the actual Rom to now be 1.60.50wwe.
Has anyone else managed to upgrade to the official O2 ROM that is on their site and can confirm the ROM info? Also what apps etc would confirm that it has been upgraded if the info hasn't been updated but upgrade has work?
Many thanks for help and advice.
I'm not sure, but doesn't higher number mean later+better ROM?
If yes, have a look at 1.72 by T-mobile - there should not be many differences! :lol:
Since I have only just bought it I don't want to upgrade to an unofficial ROM in case it invalidates the Warranty should anything go wrong with it. May look at using a ROM from another supplier in a few months though.
Can anyone confirm if the ROM ver should be changed?
Thanks

You need to give people time to reply mate - we don't LIVE on these forums you know.
Anyhow, to answer your posts, yes, you have worked it out, the O2 ROM update, which is described as 1.60.50, is actually just the extended ROM element.
The system ROM is still 1.60.00
This confused me, and no doubt, lots more people too, and it's a bit STUPID of O2 to describe it this way.
Thus, you have in effect flashed your XDA2 to the exact same ROM it had before hand.
Curses to O2 for the confusion. Not good of them!
Thanks, and sorry for being impatient
O2 need to sort this out as I have done a ROM upgrade that could have fried my machine if I did it wrong that was unneccessary.
Thanks again.
Well, O2 is not alone in this - the current i-mate ROM is listed as 172126. The ROM version is 1.72.00, but the Extended ROM is 1.72.126.
I think they do this for internal tracking purposes. They get the ROM from MS, but they tweak the ExtROM themselves. It is possible for them to release multiple ExtROM versions in the same ROM version, so THAT is what they specify.
Make sense? Just a stab in the dark as to the logic of the release numbers.

No camera software

I was having problems configuring a new T-mobile MDA III with blackberry. I contacted T-Mobile who directed me to install the latest rom image (MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe). After installing this, blackberry is working fine with our BES server, but I don't have any camera software on the device.
I do not know if the software was there before the rom flash, I did not look.
It does have a camera, but no way to use it. I have spoken to T-mobile again but I have not received a response, I thought I would try here to see if anyone here has any ideas. Is there a cab available that I could use to install the missing software? I have performed a hard reset but still no joy.
T.I.A
Wiggy
T-Moble (germany that is) at one time shipped two versions of the update software for there devices, one with camera one with out.
Back in the old days a xda patch came out to update a SX66 no camera rom 1.31 with a camera, You can find this on wiki, also you can try the cab for the WM5 rom (cameraFix) that might work. These you need to play with.
Best option is to get a rom from TMO that supports the camera
Cheers MDAIIIUser,
I downloaded Camera2K5_v1.rar from wiki, (ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Patches/Camera2K5_v1.rar) and this seems to work a treat.
T-mobile are still looking to the problem. They may yet send me a new Rom image with the software included.
Thanks again.
Wiggy
I've just posted about this problem :shock:
Good to know there are others out there with similar experiences!
I'm going to give that link a try and see where I get.

..I've downloaded this, but how do I install it on the MDAIII?
please forgive my ignorance!
If you extract the RAR file and you end up with a cab file then copy it to your device and tap on it in file manager.
I have know idea what is in the rar file.

XDAII (O2) 1.66 ROM Please

I need this ROM as I upgraded to the 1.72. It cleared my radio stack (don't know how to find/install a new radio stack) and doesn't allow my previous installed information to be reinstalled (the xbackup is working but then the device just resets itself to the initial setup process without any of my previous information loaded in).
I went to the O2 site but they need the IMEI to get the 1.60. The IMEI was also cleared when I installed the 1.72. I couldn't find any downloads on this site or the wiki.
I just want my XDAII back to how it was before I foolishly made the mistake of thinking that it would work all fine instead of thinking with the proverb if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Thankyou
do you want rom 1.66 or rom 1.66 plus a radio stack in which case what version
or do you just want a radio stack
radio stacks are not included in the pure roms it's a seperate file called radio.nbf
Thankyou for your reply!
I would like the ROM 1.66 and the radio stack please (do I also need the extended ROM?) - as far as the RS goes, anything that would work for the US T-Mobile Prepaid network...
Thankyou
Found the IMEI under the battery
but the O2 site says I can't download as my device should already have the 1.60WWE rom version.
try going ti xda-wiki and taking a look at the ftp
nothing to help me
Rudegar told you to use WIKI. Find the ROM in here

Anyone tested out the radio yet?
I installed it, stopped customization and then ran my dcd carrier cab.
So far so good, seems to be pretty responsive. For me its more responsive then some recent custom roms I've ran. No issues with the calls or with data. I'll report if anything comes up.
Can you flash just the radio using the SD card?? I have a Titan, but my friend has the Vogue..... I have the radio that was posted on the Titan upgrade forum by DCD, can this be flashed to his Vogue??

This new Bell ROM is simply THE BEST one I have tried. Now granted I am a Bell customer but this ROM gets a GPS lock faster then any of the other ones I have tried.
Hi folks,
During the rom update, do we need to let the customization runs or soft reset before ?
Thank you
question new to the whole rom upgrading dealy
would the bell 6.1 upgrade interfere with my verizon service and whatnot?

Yes. I just let 'er rip. Lost a lot of cool utilities but well worth the pain of finding them again. GPS lox in seconds. Indoors! It's a beautiful thing. No more waiting 10 minutes for GPS. No worries about upgrading from a non-Bell rom, either.
(i am a Bell customer)
Can I use the ROM to my HTC Touch. I do not use Bell. I'm from Bangladesh and use a local provider here. So what you suggest, should I proceed with that?

Should be fine, just don't let the customization run. Be sure to take down all of your settings before you flash too, incase they are lost.

Can someone put the file on rapidshare or some other server. The HTC link to download the file is saying "not found" now.
Thanks

official bell 6.1 update
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I have a new Alltell Touch, I lost my old modded one as far as Alltel is concerned. I downloaded the new Bell rom because i want the upgraded radio. I unlocked my phone using Cokeman's unlocker and tried to flash to the Bell rom. It gets to 31% and stops and will not go any further, when I retry it gives me an "Invalid Vendor ID" error. I am able to reflash back to the original Alltel rom with no problem. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? I'm not new to this and I'm getting my arse handed to me by this phone, lol.
HELP! I installed the rom update and I have gps, threaded text messaging and everything but I don't have the "slide panel" interface signature to windows mobile 6.1! why not?

Are you sure you are using a vogue and not an elf? Do they have CDMA in Bangladesh, I would assume it would be GSM.
IF you are using GSM you can't flash that rom.

No it isn't - the 2.73 is the build number, the rest just indicates operator and region.

Hi, whats the radio version in this ROM?
Thanks
Interesting that this update arrives at the same time t-mobile are rolling out Android 1.6 OTA to USA G1 owners ...
Could this update be Sense UI on top of Android 1.6?
Its not, its a 1.5 system
I can confirm issues with flashrec.
Installing custom recovery from adb shell is not working either..
download now also available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4525584

as i suspected it might, sounds like it ships a kernel that fixes the one-click-root hole, and it replaces the recovery rom image.
Anyone know how to extract the rom images from that windows executable?
i want to mess about a bit and install only parts of it from linux.
Searching the forums the closest i can find is a suggestion of using winrar, but i had someone try that on their windows box and it doesnt work.
or as a fall back, does anyone know if someones managed to do a nandroid backup of a freshly upgraded g2. (after rooting it the hard way presumably)
Paul @ Modaco twittered that he'd root and repack the T-Mobile UK update on Thursday (i.e. tomorrow).

I have extracted the Rom Images
Run the RUU then leave it running
then Start-> Run -> %TEMP%
then look through the folders untill you find one with adb in (search) this has a rom.zip file.
So the radio rom is 63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08.
But isn't this version supposed to freeze T-Mobile UK HSDPA?!

'supposed' is an odd word to use.
I don't know how many people have reported the freezing on HSDPA, however I have not had any.
I only installed the new radio earlier today, but I'm not having eny problems with HSDPA, I even downloaded a 200mb file and whatched the whole process just to see if it hung.
It didnt.
I do not know for sure whether the signal is better, but it's definately not worse.
I'll post again tomorrow when I've tested out the signal and internet a bit more.
hi, when i try to flash this rom i've got this message "erreur 131: erreur client id"????
somebody can help me???
thank you guys;-)
i think that means it is not meant for your device...do you have a t-mobile branded uk hero?

If you've already applied the T-Mobile UK update via the RUU, you're probably out of luck, as it seems it replaces your recovery image with one that can't currently be replaced.
