Flashing HTC S620 to WM6 - HTC Excalibur

Feel free to beat me to death with my own mouse if this Q was already obviously answered somewhere, but I have searched these forums and failed to find a definitive answer on the matter....
I downloaded the WM6 beta ROM (RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.20.531.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Test), and have CID unlocked my device via Gsmliberty.com. My question is...do I need to install the updated bootloader (RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe) on my S620, or is this bootloader only necessary for the Dash?
I want to make certain I am doing this right, in fear of bricking my device.
Answers?

if your bootloader is wrong the upgrade will give you an error message and restart your phone

The S620 is running bootloader 1.11.405.4
Just for kicks I ran the bootloader upgrade (which actually downgrades to lower version) and I got a (206)Connection Error.

I'm pretty sure you do need it. Like stated above, if you get an error when you try the upgrade, the answer is YES!!
You'll definitely need it if you try to go back...
-Mc

But how can I install the RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe bootloader? When I attempt do so I get the Connection Error. I launch the setup wizard, my Screen gets the rainbow bar with the word USB appearing at the bottom. At that point the installer seems to hang or timeout and I get that blasted connection error. Even the device appears stuck and I have to remove the battery to bring it back to a state of consciousness.
Am i doing something wrong?

you really should read the available info regarding this subject before you attempt to do something like this. if you read the thread about 13 posts down regarding flashing a cosmo you will see how to do the upgrade. it worked for me on my s620. i downloaded the files that the person giving the instructions provided a link to instead of editing my own files.

CID Unlock - fine, but still invalid vendor id ?

Hey..
I think in the moment there are many guys, out there, included me, that share the same problem: all probably unlocked their Dash's, Mail's or whatever using anykind of unlocking method (me, imei-check).
I am using a German MDA Mail, i needed to unlock it, in order to use it with my phone carrier apparently.
Now, the version of my phone is somewhat 1.18, and I want to update it to the WM6, like many others too. Both ways; SPL 1.11 and trying the update itself onyl lead to the same outcome : Invalid vendor/model id !
Many often say: yea, look in the CID unlock thread...well i did, very often, but there is no real solution to that problem, since basically, my Dash is unlocked, and presumably also CID unlocked since i got that from imei-check, which i think is a pioneer in that sector.
So, after all, what can we do!? Is it possible to still trying update that phone?
Hope we can find a solution, cuz i dun feel i am the only guy who has that problem.
I may have the same problem. Are you trying to unlock on Vista or XP?
I got it unlocked on XP, it worked fine i got to admit, no problems at all, my phone now seems to be unlocked and it works with another phone carrier, apart from T-Mo, which should be an indication FOR the CID unlock...
I dont think it is important to App unlock the Mail as well, cuz imei-check said it would be included...soo, would it be reasonable to ask imei-check, or does somebody else have an opinion about that?
I just upgraded to WM6. Here's what I did.
Unlocked it from imei-check. Ran SPL Upgrader. It gave me a Vendor ID being incorrect error.
Then I ran the WM6 upgrader from HTC. It upgraded and rebooted.
Now my phone is running WM6 and everything is fine.
Ha? you serious, thats very cool...well i tried it again with the spl upgrader, he went to 100%, aborted then with an invalid model error...then ran the upgrade afterwards, still didnt work... what about the version, did u take the German or the English one!?
Aaaargh, i am about to freak out..why doesnt it work, both SPL and the WM6 Upgrade give Invalid model errors, before i at least got a invalid vendor id, but not even that anymore...HELP...did imei-checks unlock didnt really work or what...
Yeah, I am very serious. I am using WM6 right now. I have a Dopod C720w.
Ok, here's what I did.
Unlocked through IMEI-check's software.
After that, I ran the SPL Upgrader. It went to 100% then gave me an Invalid Vendor ID error. I exited from there and then ran the HTC WM6 upgrade rom program. That started and slowly went to 100%. It said it had finished its job, so I removed my phone from the cable.
Then I proceeded to totally freak out because my phone looked like it was stuck at the Windows Mobile loading screen. I waited and after a long time, the rom initialised and ran through its first boot sequence.
Now its working perfectly and everything feels a bit faster.
If you went through the exact same steps, then I am not sure what your problem might be. Sorry. To tell you the truth, I am a completely noob at this who just did random steps and was lucky enough for it to work
P.S. I used the WWE (English) version, as I can't read German. I downloaded it off a rapidshare link posted in the big thread about HTC's rom release.
Well, i might not have much more skill either, but it is still quite worrying, is there maybe a difference between model and vendor id !? i am not quite sure what to try anymore, i remember yesterday, that i had a wrong vendor id as well, but today i just always got invalid model ids...very weird...well i will continue trying..do u remember what ur MDA mail version was before u updated it..sth like...1.18 !? by the way, which SPL upgrader are u using?
I am not using a MDA Mail. It's a Dopod c720w, same hardware, different branding.
This is the SPL Upgrader I used:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/smartphones/Excalibur/RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe
Try with that. It should work.
I think my version before upgrading was 1.15 something.
Nah, i think its the same SPL Upgrader (same size...) but i just dont get the idea why it doesnt work, some experienced upgrader here who can explain us the process?!?! I am not sure whether a reset of all settings would do a thing?! geez feel quite helpless in the moment^^
I had the same problem
but the only thing I did when got those problems was leaving my Vista based laptop and try with an XP based, downloaded the activesync, connected my htc, installed the SPL (downgrade) and then the WM6 WWE ROM, oh, I remember, first I installed the german version by mistake, so I had to repeat the process with the SPL before applying the correct ROM again.
When I was unlocking my HTC, I had some problems on the vista system, and I deactivated the antivirus... Could that be related?
Good Luck!!!
You haven't answered as to whether you're using XP or Vista. I ran into the same issues trying to do the SPL and ROM updates via Vista, when I tried it on my XP system -- both worked without errors.

Yeah, after hearing so much about Vista, I used my XP system to update the rom. Worked fine.
i LOVE imei-check, i wrote them an email a moment ago to ask them for support, they replied me after 10 minutes with a full strategy how to encounter the problem, fabulous support i gotta admit, here's what they said:
Hello,
It sounds like you try to make a CROSS-MODEL-ID update (e.g. WiFi chip missing T-Mobile ROM on a WiFi enabled HTC device).
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. You only have to use SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS in order to make a CROSS-MODEL-ID update:
*If you REALLY do it EXACT step by step like described you will have no problems*
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/
- the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use:
"Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu Search for word
"BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C
==> replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message:
"Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!)
==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again).
In case you have problems please indicate the step number/letter which is not clear/not working for you.
*If you REALLY do it EXACT step by step like described you will have no problems*

P.S., would be a good idea to post this as a sticky, since it really explains how to update a original HTC rom on such wifi lacking Excalibur versions like the MDA Mail,
greets and good night
Did you try to email imei-check?
I know that exactly the same problem occurred when the T-Mo WM6 came out.
Imei-check had sent back their customers who were not able to upgrade a procedure how to modify their unlocker with a hex editor to change the model ID.
BTW: Model ID: there are two different models - EXCA100 and EXCA200 - take a look under your battery - german XDA Cosmo for example is EXCA200 (there the SPL seems not to work)
The other thing is the vendor ID. This seems to be solved by pof's Upgrade SPL 1.11
So simply try to write to imei-check and say that your unlock does not work - in the past they were very customer friendly - hope this didn't change meanwhile
EDIT: OK - vivid was a little bit faster - next time I should refresh the thread before I answer...
FYI !!
saw some post where people was being impatient during the upgrading process and completely abort the process ...etc
you are supposed to be at the logo screen for a period of time ... it doesn't meant it's hanged ... be patience !
just a note
Patience is the key...
Hm, OK, I did it... I bought the fracking UNL, took me one hour to figure how to get rid of the protection (security + antivirus) in my laptop that did not allow me to run the unlocking app. Finally, I got it.
First time I flash the ROM it did not work. I tried using first the SPL, and it worked nicely. After that, I could flash the ROM. Be patient, it takes some minutes to reboot, and it looks like is freezed, but not... wait!
Can´t see much difference from WM5, but I noticed a best performance in wifi connection. Now I´m fracking installing all the goodies I had before... bluetooth keyboard is not working... I will work it out a little bit.
Just in case, if someone wants the UNL for research... PM me.
I am glad it all worked out for you. Didn't know that the MDA Mail came without Wifi.
Wow, I must say, I am glad I used Imei-Check's service as well. That was an extremely helpful reply they sent you. Not seen many companies who do that.
That's exactly what i thought
Maybe we should write them a thankyou email for all their great help in name of the whole xda-developers community what u think
Anyhow, can somebody explain me real quick what should be definitely be installed to WM6?
@PhoenixAG: yeaa stupid T-Mobile GER...they didnt take away the wifi chip on the S710 or the newer ones, have no idea why they did it to the Excalibur then..
It would be a good idea to stick this solution.
I think many users in this forum have exactly the same problem in doing a cross model ID update. You can see Excalibur devices from many countries and carriers here.
I have a T-Mobile MDA Mail too which lacks the Wi-Fi and had to do the same steps after cid-unlocking it through imeicheck.
You have to do it really step by step. I had problems in doing it out of my memory for the new HTC ROM and wondered why it failed. But going through it step by step really works EVERY time I did it and thats now the third time.
First was installing T-Mobile Dash WM6 ROM, second the Russian HTC ROM and now finally the German HTC WM6 ROM.

Help 'App unlock' I want to snap my phone in two!

Trinity handset:
On my original ROM the phones stopped allowing me to run 3rd party apps. They will install and run OK straight away but afetr a soft reset they all cahnge to the generic icon and the error message "The file'...' cannot be opened either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file".
I've Hard Reset and run the Orange unlock from France Telecom website but no Joy. It was working fine previously.
Help!
I'm pulling my hair out now - I feel like slinging the phone! Nothing I do changes the phones app locked status I'm now running WM6.1 and that hasn't sorted it, what am I doing wrong?
Come on someone must know, I'm not exactly a noob asking a silly question. I think I've done all the obvious things I've noticed the wiki links don't work but I've trudged through the forum and tried the SDA unlock too.
It can't be this difficult
Perhaps with some added information we could help?
You could just try a different ROM. Perhaps there's a problem with your SD-card or something?
Unlock the phone using wiki or use links to unlock guide in ROM threads and install a new ROM. Easy as that and you already hard reset your device so who cares?
Good luck.

Unable to flash Diamond with new ROM

I cannot flash my Diamond with a new ROM. I have tried using HardSPL versions 1.23, 1.24, and 1.34,and various ROM's but with no joy.
I have done a hard reset on my phone and setup an active sync connection with my PC. I then run HardSPL, which I get the screen with 4 colours on my phone and then get the progress bar displaying 0% on my phone, but doesn't get past that, the program times out with a communication error.
When I take out and replace my battery my phone still works fine.
Please can anyone give me advice.
Thanks

Dito for me!
Saw this coming
Indeed, not a surprise to see another thread opened by newbies.
Partly (small part though) we might point the finger at the HARD SPL creators and the Chefs.
Too many ROMS with sometimes confusing "signed" or "non-signed" versions (and this is for you newbies) WHICH NEED A DIFFERENT HARD SPL.
Unsigned and Signed ROMS can not be flashed with same SPL guys .
So, start readin these threads about the ROM you want to flash profondly and use SEARCH.
In a few weeks, you'll have to write this message to newer Newbies again.
Maybe I better ask a MOD to close this thread though
Look here ! The solution is near

The problem is: We get a connection error a while after the black screen during the hardSPL procedure. And the SPL is not updated...
So if you know what the reason is that the device wouldn't enter SSPL automatically (JumpSPL.exe 0x800000 sspl-1.01-reloc-mod.nb)? Mine didn't respond! I try to used another USB port but …same problem!
I tried to run " JumpSPL.exe " directly from the diamond... then the screen turned black (backlight still working good but the whole screen is black)
Thx for your answer!
Well, I had the same problem, and managed to work around it! First of all, I have NO idea why all of a sudden my Diamond would stop going into bootloader mode by itself - instead, all I get when trying to flash is a screen which fades to black, and then eventually the comm error after 5 minutes, with the option to go into recovery mode.
This is what works for me: first of all, make sure you have the right HardSPL for what yoyu need to do. Either flash the one for the signed roms (and the only try to flash signed roms) or flash the one for unsigned roms (and then only flash unsigned roms). But how to flash if the screen goes black and you do not get a connection?
Well, what works for me (and it may not work for you - try at your own risk!), is to put the phone in bootloader mode by holding the -Volume button and doing a soft reset, and then connecting it to the USB cable of the PC. When the lettering in the white part changes from Serial to USB, you are ready to go, and - at least for me - the flashing works.
Don't ask me why, but this is what I did last night to put the .05 radio on my Diamond.

Thanks ceevee369 it works fine for me now
I still cannot get a new ROM on my diamond. When I said it worked above that was only getting HARD SPL on my phone.
When I try to update the ROM it gets to 100% and then says the ROM is corrupt. I have tried with different ROM's and I get the same error

Could you please give the UNSIGNED developers SPL a try?
You only used he Signed version ones as you wrote in 1st thread, and as far as I can feel, you try to flash unsigned ROM's maybe?
Hope you're not bricking your device soon.
Did you posted in the specific ROM thread a specific question on the hard SPL you use vs. The ROM you intend to flash?
Yes, bootlader will always start, but no, it won't go further than giving you an error if no compliant Rom is used.

The majority of these "help me" posts wouldn't be necessary if the information on this forum was a little more accessible - and seriously, the search engine returns so much dross that it takes an age to gather all the relevant info about roms, spls, flashing, cooking etc, etc. And yes, modmydiamond.info is a cool site but the info there is basic at best.
I'm not knocking the work being done here as it's seriously good - I'm a techie from way, way back, so I can appreciate the amount of effort involved - however, you guys make a rod for your own back by not producing documentation that is more explanatory (or just there) to start with.
And yes, I can also appreciate that you're a bunch of dudes doing this for free and for the love of it and not a bunch of technical writers getting paid for your work but you have to try to understand what a newbie is faced with when they arrive at this site looking to upgrade their pride and joy. Confusing and contradictory are two words I'd use.
Peace.

PS. ceevee369, the "you"s above weren't necessarily directed at you.
Everytime I'm trying to Hard-SPL my phone disconnects and tryies to install a device called "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" but doesn't find a driver for that. So there is no connection left between the Phone and the PC and it doesn't work anymore...
Can anyone look if that device is installed on his PC? And if possible upload a driver for that?
Found a way to solve the problem:
Go into bootloader-mode (volume-down + reset) and then connect to the PC. If Win is looking for the drivers you will find them in the folder where ActiveSync was installed. Afterwards you should see "usb" instead of "serial" in the screen on your XDA.
Now soft-reset and proceed as told everywhere...
So my problem was that Win Didn't finde the drivers automatically and i didn't know where to look for them.

HELP NEEDED PLEASE! Rom+instructions for my o2 trion wm6

Hi amm
I am new to windows mobile. i got this ophone of my old work mate.
I have tryed to put windows mobile 6 on the phone as it only have wm5 on it, but i get as far as the phone changing to upgrade mode ( 3 striped red, blue and green) screen and then it says that the phone cant comunicate.
I have tryed going though o2 website but it not recignizing my serial for the phone ( ex contract and also was a replacement handset)
any help would be nice, by the way i am on windows vist a, but i have also tryed it on xp, but the same still happns.
Thanks
Paul
anyone? noow any suggestions
This answer may seem condescending, but it isn't.
1. Are you attemtping to flash a rom update from the phone's original carrier or a non carrier specific rom? If a non carrier specific rom then see #2. If carrier specific did you download the rom from a secure place such as the carrier's website? If not, you may want to and try again.
2. Have you made sure your phone is CID and sim unlocked? This has to happen if you are attempting to flash a non carrier specific rom onto your phone. There is literature in your specific phone's Mobile 6 forum that is stickied or in the Wiki which will show you the best way to accomplish flashing. You must first read, then use the correct methods and tools or you will most likely create a brick. At this point of the game your phone is a little older and the path to Mobile 6 is well laid out. Which leads to the next question.
3. Have you done a search for this problem? You are not the first and will not be the last to have run into this issue. Using the search button does wonders here. If you have the cajones to flash your phone you are adventerous and the knowledge you will pick up will help in the long run. I say this because flashing is addictive and once you see the immediate improvements you will continue to look for better roms.
4. Please remember this is a developer's forum so the intelligence level is higher than most other forums but the patience level is much lower for those not willing to follow directions and/or help themselves. Some things have well laid out paths and others are trial and error. A lot of people here are doing a large amount of work for little to no money so please READ before embarking on your journey.
5. Get to work. Oh yeah. Please lit your phone's information in your signature. It will save someone asking the first 2 or 3 questions I did everytime. You could use mine as an example. Believe me it saves time and people are more willing to help.
hey thanks for your message
I am trying to flash the phone with Official O2 UK WM6 Trion (Hermes) rom 3.54.206.1_6275+radio 1.47 (3-8-2007) , the phone is simfree.
but even on trying to install Olipro v7 2.10 i get messages like 266 or 260 conection timed out or something. i am technical minded and i have tryed to serch for the awsers using google.
I suggest reading the Wiki and your Mobile 6 forums for the way to flash without using the usb cord. It will take a non-sdhc memory card and uses the nbh file from the rom you are flashing. Research that.
What is the HTC name for your phone? The Trion is a Hermes or a Wizard correct?
Also, CID and sim unlocking your phone will eliminate many future problems. Just be aware it automatically voids your warranty.
Okay - can you do a soft reset and have the phone work fine? That is step one. If so, then go to the Hermes Mobile 6 forum and check out the stickies. Dr. Puttingham wrote a great guide to flashing our phones.
If you can't get the phone working from the soft reset I suggest reading the Wiki and the Mobile 6 forums for the way to flash without using the usb cord. It will take a non-sdhc memory card and uses the nbh file from the rom you are flashing. Research that.
The Trion is a Hermes, which is what I have (Cingular 8525). I would suggest a non carrier rom of Mobile 6.1. You will find it to be much faster and stable.
Also, CID and sim unlocking your phone will eliminate many future problems. Just be aware it automatically voids your warranty.
hi i just found out that thephone is not a trion afterall it is a xda mini s, can this still be upgraded
I believe the Mini S is a Wizard. check out the forums. All the answers are there. I retired my Wizard 3 months ago . This is an easy problem to fix. Just read. I still suggest Mobile 6.1. Especially on the Wizard.

Unlocking a G3 Universal

Hi. Trying to unlock a Universal. Put into Bootloader mode, connected by USB, ran MaUpgradeUt file and got the following " Error 150. Rom upgrade Utility error. Not designed for device". This is a V1.00 G3 unit.
Any ideas please? I thought this was the easy part of a Rom upgrade!

Please READ the Wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Good luck,
Thanks but following the unlocking part of it. Error messages thread does not mention Error 150.
Thanks
Bit more info.
Utility is Device Software Update Utility - R1000 R21200
Says change from Device CE Image version
Device Ext Image version
Device Radio Image version
Change to CE Image version
Ext Image version
Radio Image version
Then I get the message - Error 150. Does not designed for your device
Please get proper Rom Upgrade and try again.
Nothing in the Wiki says about this problem. Any ideas please?
Can someone tell me what is happening please? The Wiki is fine - if it all goes right - but nothing there tells me about this. How can I be using the wrong Rom, we are only unlocking it?
Thanks
Sorry, I don't know how to help you, mine was already unlocked.
I don't understand why in the wiki procedures are referred to Wizard... If there's so much compatibility, you may try Wizard Service Tool to unlock it. It seems to work with G3 devices with 1.00 BL.
May I ask you if you tell us your steps? I have to make the same operation on a friend of mine G3 Uni, so I'll appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Hi. All I tried to run was MaUpgradeUT_noID and that's when I got the message. Tried the Service tool but I am using Windows Vista with Windows Mobile Device Centre and the phone was not recognised. Likes XP and ActiveSynch which I haven't got.
So stuck........
Doug
May I suggest you to find a way to use XP? Maybe creating a little partition and a multi-boot... I don't feel so good thinking of Vista and flashing...
Special thanks
It is nice to know there are people on here who will go the extra mile to help someone in trouble. I was having real problems with trying to unlock and flash a WM6.1 ROM but Olympia768 kindly did it for me and in double quick time.
I have now back a Universal, with WM6.1, that seems like a new machine. I absolutely love it!
Many thanks to a very kind guy.
Doug
