Cannot Downgrade to 2003SE - SX66
I own a SX66 Cingulair (USA) and I recently upgraded the ROM to WM5 but now having a lot of problems with it. I need to downgrade it back to 2003. I followed all the instructions in the link given in one of the posts above but the program MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe does not recognize my existing ROM or the new one and no update happens.
Can anyone help me please.

exactly the same here with SX66, but where did you get your ROM?
I also tried to apply SX66Upgrade.exe program which seems like WM2003SE installer, but this program says it cannot connect to device. I also was able to get nk.nbf from the temp folder and tried to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe with this one, but it goes to the final screen without actually reflashing PDA. PDA still has WM5 installed.
I made a backup copy of my previous Win2003SE ROM to a SD card and restored it now from file back to SD card, but cannot find the way how to initiate ROM restore from SD card. I've read instructions saying: Insert SD card, put PDA into bootloader mode, select to restore from SD card, but in my case I just see "Serial 2.07" after going into bootloader mode and nothing else.
Found a way to Downgrade
Hi all:
After so much testing in frustration I moved the new ROM file to PH20B folder in the WM5_pack_V3 folder and ran the program BaUpgradeUt.exe. Now I know for SX66 which is a PH20B1 device we are supposed to use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in PH20B1 folder according the the downgrade link (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5)
I got the ROM from (http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/) which is version 1.40 and I am very happy with it. Before upgrading to WM5 I have unlocked this device using the unlocker program some where on this forum and I am not sure whether it has anything to do with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe not working.

Hi All!!
Would really appreciate some advice on how i go about unlocking my T-mobile MDA Compact II. Just had it back from repair, having purchased unlocked (also supplied unlocking files). Not sure if maybe software more up to date but software doesn't work now, neither does the link you have all kindly posted above! When running 'lokiwiz' batch file, lists error - transfer error.
My info is:
Rom Version 2.6.2.27WWE
Rom Date 3/9/06
Radio version 02.19.21
Protocol version 4.1.13.19
Extrom version 2.6.2.110
Please, please can anyone help me as without a phone!!! Thanks so much for your help.
Regards.
Rosco.
Have you tried the whole process according to the instruction? I dont know that which Lokiwiz you are trying but my sister have bought the pink MDA compact II from t-mobile in october and I have successfully unlocked my device.
Try this one but please go point to point.
Sidd
Cheers Sidd!!!
Hey thanks so much Sidd!!!
After days of trying so many different files and methds of trying to get the dam thing working, finally the zip file you listed worked like a treat!!!
Can't thank you enough mate!! If you were close enough i'd buy you a drink or five!!!!
Hopefully this will help others to with the same problem!
Thanks again!!

Unlock T-Mobile MDA Compact II
I am looking at the notepad file Lokiwiz03 and it says
"2 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard"
Which wizard and where do I find it? (Sorry if I sound thick but have never done this before)
Thanks!
I am out of my computer, hopefully I will reply on this problem tomorrow.
bill Copy EnableRapi.cab to your mda compact 2
then klick on it then start the bat file on your pc
after getting a dos windows on your pc
look for a code between the lines
copy the code and use it to unlock it
that is what i did to unlock my t-mobile mda compact 2
Hello Sidd,
I did download the ZIP folder, But I can't unziped...
and and getting following massage "File skipped unknown Compression method"
Please help me out....
Thanks
I did have Zipped this file on WinZip 10, download the attached file, now I have zipped it on a normal compression
GoodLuck
Sidd
not working
i tried this so many times. every time i tapped on the enablerapi.cab file, my mda compact just removes it. what am i doing wrong?
Obviously it is gonna dissappear after the installation. Please follow the steps 1 by 1.
Suggestion 01
1 - Connect your device with ur PC and make sure activeSync recognise it.
2 - Unzip lokiwiz.zip to somewhere in your computer
3 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard
4 - Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish
5 - Execute lokiwiz.bat and follow the instructions on your screen...
Suggestion 02
For those of you having problems with lockiwiz 3a not unlocking your phone, well i was having the same problem, but not for long because i discoverd what i was doing wrong.
when you download lokiwiz 3a you have 2 things, lockiwiz and a folder called utils, now in the folder utils you will find a file called enablerapi its about 70kb in size, copy this to your MDA vario in the my documents folder, once there run it by tapping on it in my documents on your MDA saying Ok to everything, once youve done that, then and only then try running the lockiwiz application on your main pc making sure your connected via ActiveSync and look for the SIM unlock code in the black command promt box and jot this number down, then put SIM card in thats different from the one you use and switch on, when asked for the unlock code just type in the number you have written down earlier.
GoodLuck
Sidd
hi sidd,
it did not work on my mda compact. i tried both suggestions 1 and 2. but i didn't get any unlock code when i ran lokiwiz. i will give it another try one of these days. maybe i need to remove my tmobile simcard first? anyway.... thanks a lot. and happy new year.
Well I have downloaded the whole solution from this same forum and applied on my sister's Mda and it did work.
Happy New Year to you all as well
Sidd

QTek s110 is a Magician and NOT a Charmer. Try the Magician section and wiki. You are lucky that you are not flashing your phone or else you may have got yourself an expensive brick.
This works a treat
Thanks loads for this walkthrough m8 its flawless. Great work m8.
It works with IPL 3.x!
After many tries and misses... I tryed everything but can't unlock my charmer with IPL 3.x... BUT THIS METHOD WORKS PERFECTLY !!!!!! In 5 minutes charmer was unlocked! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was upgrading to the latest version of LVSW when my computer crashed - it's froze at about 54%. I am using SPL (Bootloader) version 1.30.Olipro (HardSPL v4) and now my TYTN only shows the bootloader HERM200 - SPL-1.30.Olipro.
What should I do? Please help.
Paperweight comments are not welcomed
Jean
Jean,
Depending on how bad your situation is, this could involve some work. But at any cost, it would behoove you to actually read the wiki.
Just in case you have completely bricked your device, here is a link that should help you figure things out.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
The wiki has help for all sorts of situations.
Just another comment though, it is really interesting that you said "Paperweight comments are not welcomed ". But if you do something and dont read the wiki to find answers for yourself (or at least appear to with the kind of posting you did), you will open yourself to comments like that or worse no comments at all.
More information
Here's more information:
1- only the bootloader appears
2- it cannot connect to activesync (so not sure how I can flash anything else as specified in the WIKI: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick)
3- I do not see any "No GSM" message
I am reading the WIKI and I'm a bit confused. I think since I'm using SPL-1.30.Olipro, I can Flash any NBH containing only OS and restore my OS. I'm able to access my device with mtty.exe - I extracted the latest .nbh from LVSW
Putting the LVSW nbh on a blank microSD card and naming it HERMIMG.nbh and restarting the system, did not do anything. I still see the bootloader. Should I use mtty.exe to try to re-install the latest ROM?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Jean
with this metod select your rom and rename HERMIMG.nbh format your micro sd and put the file.
boot your hermes in boot loader with power(left)+ok(right)+soft reset the flash run.
if don't work please hard reset to try.
and if don't work too, download platform builder ce5 to boot your hermes and follow this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755&page=39
work only if you KITL ENABLE (power+commanger+soft reset)
IF put KITL SELECT TRANSPORT it's ok if no , hard reset your hermes.

pb ce5 can do between 2go at 4go.

What software do I use to do this? First I tried using mtty.exe to access my device but it does not show a USB connection even though the TYTN is connected (I even hear a beep when I first connect it).
Would putting the LVSW nbh on the microSD card and naming it HERMIMG.nbh and restarting the system work? I just don't want to do something stupid without some confirmation from the experts out there.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

You really need to post this in the relevant thread sir, alot of people keep an eye on the thread and will offer the appropriate help. DONT DO ANYTHING if you need to ask if it will work, first read through the thread, post as instructed in the beginning of it and you will be guided through the unbricking process. I realise this isnt much help but if you do as i suggest you will learn from it aswell
Resolved
Ok thanks for the info. I managed to fix it using the method described in my previous post. I needed to format the MicroSD before placing HERMIMG.nbh on it and it worked flawlessly. Thanks.

Everything you ever needed to know about "unbricking" your Excalibur but were afraid to ask is in this guide. I've put together this guide for those of you who either intentionally or unintentionally "bricked" or think you've "bricked" your Excalibur.
It is not easy to brick an Excalibur if you actually read and follow all of the steps and guidelines before a flash. In fact, not many things can go wrong unless a USB cables disconnects during a flash, your PC crashes in the middle of a flash, or you flash a corrupt image file to your device. Statistically, most of the time people only think their Excalibur is "bricked" when actually it's not.
There are three methods you can use depending of the severity of the "bricking". The first method will unbrick 50% of all Excalibur's that have simply "locked up" and won't reboot properly. The second method will unbrick 95% of all Excalibur's that encountered flashing problems or flash failures. The third and final method, and the most involved, is a "last resort" for those who have tried method's one and two numerous times unsuccessfully.
** Please perform these steps and methods at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage you cause your device using this guide.
If you're new to the Excalibur or SmartPhones in general, please take the time to read the WiKi and this post by Stylez for valuable info before you post or try any of these steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397583
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537151
But, before I even get into unbricking, if your phone is in fact working right now, I highly recommend you flash HardSPL to avoid even having to follow these steps anytime in the future. The steps and info for HardSPL and JumpSPL can be found in this thread by jockyw2001:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605
HardSPL basically flashes your phone with an "unlocked" security partition so all security checks are bypassed when you try to flash a cooked ROM or a ROM designed for another variation of the Excalibur such as Dopod, HTC, TMO Dash, etc. Makes life much easier when trying different ROMS or cooking and testing your own! Thanks jockyw2001!!
Ok, so onto the fun stuff... Your phone won't boot... Either it's locked up and simply stopped booting or you flashed your phone and it won't boot. What do you do??
Method 1: Assuming you didn't get "bricked" from a flash problem, the first and easiest method for "unbricking" your Excalibur is (this will erase ALL data in your Excalibur):
(This method works for 50% of supposedly "bricked" Excaliburs)
Remove your SIM and SD card
Remove and reinsert your battery
While holding the two softkeys with your thumbs, press the power button
Continue holding the softkeys until a black screen appears saying "This operation will delete all your..."
Press "'send"' to restore to hard reset your phone
Let the phone cold boot and restore
That didn't work!! . This next method will reflash your phone to the factory ROM.
Method 2: Second way to the path of unbricking is:
(This method will unbrick 95% of all Excaliburs)
Get a hold of your Shipped ROM. You can find these ROMS either in Dopod's site, HTC's site (with a valid serial #), TMO's site (http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ with a valid IMEI), or right here at XDA at this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726)
Download one of these factory ROMS and unpack it. **Remember, if your phone is a TMO Dash, you MUST use a TMO Dash ROM. If your phone is HTC Branded, you MUST use an HTC ROM, etc., etc., etc...
Remove the SD card if one is inserted in the phone
Remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds. I found this step to be essential to reset the device. Put the battery back in.
While holding the camera button on the right side, press the power button. The phone will enter "bootloader" mode and you will see a tricolor bootscreen.
While in this mode, plug in your USB cable and you will hear the "ba-bing" USB sounds as the device connects
Unpack the ROM package you just downloaded and run RomUpdateUtility.exe. Follow the steps, check the appropriate boxes, and start the flash
Assuming all goes well, your phone will flash to the factory ROM and you can then troubleshoot what went wrong the first time that bricked your phone.
Oh no!! That still didn't work!? Or it worked but the flash failed with Error 270 or another error......... Never fear!! XDA-Developers is here! This next method is a bit more intense. It creates a "goldcard" which is used to SuperCID the Excalibur so that it doesn't care about what factory ROM you flash. Please have the factory (not a cooked) ROM ready to go.
** (This method is not intended for Newbie's and some enhanced knowledge of HTC devices and Windows is required to successfully work.)
** (Retry the second method several times with a few different factory ROMS before attemting the below)
Method 3: The third "goldcard" method is a bit more intensive and should be used as a "last resort" so follow closely:
(should unbrick ANY bricked Excalibur if performed correctly)
Get a cup of coffee or tea
You will need a working Donor HTC device with a microSD slot and a microSD card that is smaller than 1GB (will be formatted) to create "goldcard" image using QMAT tools as described below
You will need QMAT. Get it from http://revskills.de/index.html.
Go to the Download link and download the latest version and unpack QMAT
Have some coffee
Use a SD card reader (either USB for microSD adapter) in your PC to access the SD card through Windows. Format the SD card with FAT32.
* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device and boot up the device. Connect the USB cable and establish an Activesync connection.
Open QMAT and go to the "Hardware Forensics" menu and select "Generate HTC Goldcard"
In "Select device key:" select the Excalibur
You will need the serial number fro the inserted SD card so click the "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device" button
Once the Serial number appears in the box, click the "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD" button below
If no errors pop up and all goes well, skip the next step
If you get an error or a popup saying "Goldcard for newer devices isn't implemented in newer devices", you must buy and register the software. Believe me, it's worth the small amount of $ you will spend to bring your expensive device back to life!
Now remove the SD card with the newly written Goldcard image from the Donor HTC device
Insert the SD card back into your PC using the microSD card reader adapter. Browse to the drive letter assigned to it. You will see no files on the SD card, this is normal.
(If, for some reason your PC sees the SD card as unformatted, something went wrong. Remove it and reinsert it into the Donor HTC device. The device should see the card as unformatted and ask you to format it, say yes. Now go back to the "* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device" step above and repeat the steps)
Unpack your Dopod or other factory ROM and copy RUU_Signed.nbh to the SD card. Once it had finished copying, rename the file to EXCAIMG.nbh. Remove the SD card from the PC.
Make sure the Excalibur is off and insert the SD card
Enter bootloader mode as mentioned earlier (hold the camera button while pressing the power button). No need to connect the USB cable.
You will see a gray screen that says "loading". It will then find the EXCAIMG.nbh file and ask if you would like to start the update process. Follow the instructions and let the phone flash.
It will take 10-15 mins but your phone should boot fine and be back in action!
QMAT is a VERY powerful tool written by viperbjk that allows for full low level manipulation of HTC and WINCE tasks. Read all about it here http://revskills.de/index.html.
Many thanks to jockyw2001 for his amazing HTC device knowledge! Also thanks to all who contributed to this post.
Hope this tutorial helps!

Hi OOkba,
This happened to a friend in the office's Dash. It simply froze up while operating. I actually got on the phone with HTC support. We couldn't get it to do anything. It does power up but then freezes.
The HTC guy was of the opinion that it is hardware related.
You ever solved that one?
BTW - I am running the 7.18 6.5 - love it - thank you so much

Yes, you have to have a spare working phone to create a "goldcard". The phone must be powered on and sync'd via USB so QMAT can access the storage card.

I really want to flash my TMobile Dash using your rom, looks pretty cool but I'm deadly afraid of bricking my phone so first, I took a look on my System Info and it says
ROM Version: 1.33.422.1 (tho its a TMobile Dash, I think the seller flashed it with this international rom).
Model Name: HTC S621
So I got 3 questions
1) Can i flash 3VO rom on this phone?
2) If the flashing fails, can i just use another 1.33.422.1 ROM and reflash it?
3) Will the flashing process (both ways) will bring the SIM Lock back?
Greetings from Brazil and sorry about my glass-cracking, horrible and ultra-bad english.

Yes, your phone is fine. Make sure you follow all of the flashing instructions. Make sure you remove your SD card, connect your phone, run SDA Application Unlock, and run auto.bat from the update package.

Try the "Goldcard"' method. This should SuperCID your phone and allow you to flash ANY shipped factory ROM. Please follow the tutorial closely. You will need a spare phone with a microSD slot.
Ok, Ookba. But the spare phone must be a same model than mine? (HTC S620)

As newbie on this, anyone please guide me step by step to upgrade my P3300 rom with nbh file. My device is unlock already with current ROM 5.2.1908 (build 18125.0.4.2).
The procedure is given in almost every thread. It's simple really. Is your SPL version anything other than 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon? If yes then your phone is not unlocked. Unlock your phone by running USPL from here or the updated USPL from here.
Check if the USPL has worked by checking your SPL number. During phone booting at the white HTC screen your SPL should show either 1.11.0000 ir 1.11.cmon.
If it does you are free to flash any ROM. Get the ROM of your choice, put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing the voice record, power key and reset button simultaenously for about 5 seconds till you see a three colored screen. Attach it with USB and flash the rom using RUU.
thanks randythered for ur reply. I did w/o problem on USPL but how to use the nbh extention? where that nbh file I shall put in? pc or devise or on specific folder? I got the three colors already, then what next? pl. enlighted

do u have only .nbh file or along with .nbh file any other files are there ?
generally along with the .nbh file there are other files like romupdateutuility.exe etc.,
download those files also and save those files into your PC.
after unlocking your device then staup the device with bootloader mode (three color screen)
connect the Device with the PC by USB cable.
in the device display u will a word USB (left bottom corner)
run the Romupdateutility from the PC...
the process will guide u next steps ...
after the completion u will have new OS
Last I would recommend tht u also upgrade you Radio ROM (this is responsible for all the communication functions of ur phone i.e. calls, GPS, WiFi etc) which will enhance the communication capabilities.
Radio ROMs Link : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._RadioUpgrades.
Note : before flashing any ROM or upgrading the RADIO kindly CID unlock your device or you will end up the with bricked device .
You can download my ROMs, they come with the full package

As sixthsigma said, did you check if the phone is correctly unlocked? Is the SPL showing 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon?
Secondly, what OS are you flashing on? XP, Vista or Windows 7?
Hi Randythered, IPL 1.25.0001 and SPL 1.27.0000
I am using your ROM RtR Manila v1.0
using XP
Well, firstly thank you for wanting to try out my ROM
Secondly, you haven't unlocked your phone properly yet. The SPL must be 1.11.0000 or1.11.cmon, depending on which USPL you use.
strange... hv tried several time but w/o luck...
now I notice that it cut out after '70' and jump into 100 with disconnecting
any choices of other USPL instead of the one attached here?
Did you flash the old USPL or the new one which is nosize? It is preferable to install the old one first. And then go for the cmon nosize USPL if need be.
From a noob to a noob
Hi, heres the procedure for upgrading your rom put as noob friendly as i can put it.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. HTC Artemis p3300
2. computer running Windows XP with activesync installed
3. Usb cable to connect to computer
4. The new rom that you want to flash
5. And USPL which can be downloaded at this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
NB: For most of the newer roms you will probably need the updated nosize version of uspl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406
PREPARATION
NB: Anything you need to backup or keep from your device do it now.
NB: in some cases you may have to hard reset your device before it will take the flash
1. Extract Uspl to your desktop
2. Extract the rom you downloaded to your desktop
3. Remove your sim chip and memory card from your device
4. Reset your device and sync with windows xp
UPDATING
1. In the USPL folder run the program called "start_uspl" and let it do its thing in the dos window,in
my case it goes to 70 and then jumps to 100,if you have been watching your device screen you will
see the linux penguin for a few seconds and it will change to a white screen.
A window will popup on your computer, do as it requests, when finished it will reset your device.
Sync your device with your computer again.
2. In your downloaded rom folder you should find a file called "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" or "Ruu.exe", run
it and a window will popup, do as it requests.
Your device screen will go tri-color(red,green,blue) and the rom update will begin, wait till it
finishes and thats it.
thanks soloman1 and others
finally I got it with removing the sim card and memory card prior to upgrading

Sixthsigma...you said - "unlock the device properly with USPL..." - how do I do that?
I got the same error as mentioned when trying to flash using the numb3rs ROM:
http://thewingster.com/numb3rs.aspx
I ran the herald-uspl.exe file. and ended up with teh above error. My TMo Wing has the original ROM on it and the phone itself is probably unlocked. Ive had it for a year now. Do I need to call TMo to unlock or is there some app I can run to do this myself?
appreciate any help!
nevermind, it worked ok on the second attempt!
