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 recently got an S621 and I am in love with it so far. I am wanting to add a few programs and homescreens but need to get the phone unlocked. I have look around and seen people have had success doing it while others have had troubles. I am hoping someone who has successfully got the app unlock to work could they please give step by step directions and any programs used.
Thanks
It will cost you about $40,- US

he said app unlock, not sim unlock. app unlock is free just follow any guide. For example use steps 1-2 here:
http://www.navizon.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=198
Then once I've done that I turn off security completely using this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8c-d587-47e0-908b-09fee6ea517a&displaylang=en
Then you never see any annoying pop ups again.
If it is just app unlock you're after, try HTC Unlock (attached).
when i try to change my values as per that guide. i get
"error: unable to perform this operation"
As an HTC S621 owner, I tried all the free unlocking methods, with no luck.
You can't even edit the suggested registry entires.
You have to pay to get the phone unocked first.
THEN you can use the software unlocking tools.
I just app unlocked a S621 from Rogers using SDA_ApplicationUnlock and had no problems.

I've also tried to unlock the phone via different methods
1. regedits - tried the regeditSTG, HTCUnlock as well totalcommander and not allowed to change entry's
2. Microsoft Security configuration manager - Gives a message say that its a two-tier prompt and this configuration does not allow you to chage
3. imei uk - the app actually crashes my pc. gonna try it at work.
4. SDA app gives the message that this phone can't be unlocked
Damn I hate rogers, any other "bulletproof" ways to force flash the phone? and even if the dashv2unlock from imei uk works will it actually unlock the phone or will I get the same "not correct permissions to run app" on the phone?

the imei unlock worked for me. then you run the sda unlock app, and all is good.
i paid the $38 and got my S621 unlocked from imei-check, then tried that SDA thing and it says "phone is not unlockable"
I'm just going to flash WM6 and move on.
Yeah i did the unlock thing but it didnt removed the CID lock, you just need to flash it and you can do whatever.
what's the difference between App and Sim unlocking?
app means you can add any application, wether or not it's microsoft signed or not. Simlock means you can use any sim card in there.
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.
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...)
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,
Unfortunately, there's still no free way to CID Unlock an Excalibur, CID Unlock your phone here (USD 38.00):

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.
Hi every one, my phone model is HTC Hermes 8525 locked to Att. Now it is in original box with Windows Mobile 5. I want to unlock it first. I have read articles on this BBS and aware that if I want to do future Rom flashing things I might need both SIM and CID unlocked. At same time I found several unlock code provider on Ebay.com. Now the questions come up.
1) Is Unlock code got via Ebay only for SIM unlock, or it is for both?
2) Is there any risk for such kind of unlock code for my phone? What's the worst outcome for using unlocker software downloaded here?
3) If I don't unlock my CID, can I still upgrade my phone with WM6? What specific ROM of WM6 shall I use?
4) Any other suggestion is welcomed, Ad's also.
Thanks a head

Hi and welcome to xda-developers forum!
1) I think this "unlock code" will provide you an ability to disable/re-enable SIM Lock/Operator Lock, not CID Lock (as it's platform specific and required to flash unofficial ROMs)
2) The worst is device will become brick. But it could occur only if you download and flash wrong ROM.
3) No, if it's unofficial. If HTC provided a WM6 update to Hermes (I don't remember), it could be flashed.
Good luck
