HTC S621 Released in Canada on Rogers - HTC Excalibur

See www.rogers.com/wireless
then head to the store...
Rogers have released the Excalibur as the S621 here. I hope to get a unit later in the week. All reports indicate its identical to the HTC model & runs WM5.

I've gotten my S621 and it is the same as the s620. I paid the std. 20GBP to unlock it from imei-check.co.uk.
The only issue is that the SDA Application unlock does not work.. it gives the error "The phone is unlockable" and you can't modify the registry becuase the sda application unlock does not work.
I haven't attempted to flash the ROM yet as I don't have a way of backup up my current ROM in case it doesn't work or I don't like it.

Well i will be the first to ask if anyone who gets this, can u find the apps for rogers radio and video on demand? This will be huge for all HSPDA Users on rogers here in this forum

I'm not a rogers customer so I wouldn't be able to use those feature. I'm using the phone with Fido.

I reflashed my phone with the excalibur rom.

kypreos:
but you have the rogers rom on it? hmmm is there away the rom could even just be dumped somewhere and I try to figure out how to get the apps? I may just be something in the extended rom or and the initial setup.
@anyone
Now that Rogers has some more branded WM phones, can you guys tell me if you can Send AND Receive MMS? I know it maybe different with a smartphone...just trying to grab some hope towards it.

I can send from my HTC S620 but when people reply to it or send me MMS back I get msg expired on server error

I get the same message has expired error when ppl send me MMS, I get the notification but when I click on download it gives me the error.

Can you tell me how to back up the ROM? if it can be done? I plan to flash my S621 tomorrow.. !

What I like about the Rogers version is, there's no ugly Rogers logo silkscreend on it.
it's basically the unbranded HTC phone.

yes, I but the startup sound is rather loud aye!!?? I also didnt like the layout of the "desktop" where the icons are for the apps. HTC has a folder called "Office" for the clearvuw apps.
I just flashed my S621 this morning. Nice. I took a copy of the Rogers Desktop and sound from the Windows Folder first.
Just waiting on a WM6 build to be released. A few more weeks I guess.

Yeah I am looking for a way, since there are varried ways for each type of unit. for now I would ask that you look in the windows folder for anything relating to the rogers applications.
This thread in the wiki may also be of help, but i can't make head or tails of it

I didnt see any rogers specific apps in the Windows folder. I copied the .XML for the 2 rogers home Screens and also some sounds. The Rogers sound.
One of the reasons I wanted to flash the phone.. when turning it on it makes a LOUD rogers sound with the Carrier animation. Nice, but you cant change it or turn it off.
Anyway, the phone is Flashed as the HTC S620 now, and I will sell my original S620

what the ROM ver you flashed in it ?
What is your ROM ver now ? is it lower than Rogers Branded ? what radio ver on it now ?
also can you upload it if its higher ver, or pm me , if you dont mind
Hitec

Whats in your Rogers Applications folder ? Mine ie empty when I received my unit ?

The search continues for video and radio on demand apps

sorry, I cant remember. I booted it only twice, then flashed it.
I sold my original HTC S620 last night. Using the Rogers S621 as S620

Has anyone figured out the message has expired problem? I can send mms no problem, but cannot receive!
Any input? I have a s620 t mobile. Thanks.

I got it to work! Here is what I did:
Start -> settings -> connections -> gprs -> menu -> add:
Connects to: secure wap network (use any but make sure you use the same in the next step)
Access point: media.com
User name: media
Password: mda01
IP address: 172.25.0.107
Start -> messaging -> highlight mms and click menu -> settings -> menu -> mmsc settings
Now you can either add a new one or edit the existing one that is in there.
MMSC URL: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
WAP gateway: 172.25.0.107
Port: 80
Connect via: Secure WAP Network (must be the same one you used in the step above)
WAP version: WAP 2.0
That should do it. If it gives you an error about the download being expired, just hit the menu and click download anyway.

Have the ROGERS ROM the Spanish ???
I have one unlocked DASH fron T Mobile and need the spanish but after more of 20 days can't find any ROM to change to spanish.
My DASH have the original HTC ROM.
I have flashed 45 days ago.
Please, lt me know about.

MDA pro
Please can anyone with the original NL ROM make a dump and upload it
Thank you very much!
it seems that the mda pro has d2s commands turned off. So the device is locked from getting image dumps.
At least I have no clue how to make one with the current tools.
btw. How can you make a extended rom that can be used with the upgrade program. I want to revert back to my original rom, but it seems there is no possible way to do it.
Does anyone know the gprs settings for the mda-pro as it is not entered in the imate image.
ps I have the mda-pro dutch version.

OK I see most of the guys are dutch so I can ask...
I want to change the ROM of my Dutch MDA-PRO unlocket with KPN subscription to the JASJAR ROM, is it risky and does it work wel.
What is missing in the JAS JAR ROM, like maybe the Dutch t9 or any other settings does the video call work ?
What happens if there is a new JASJAR ROM will it symply install or do we have to patch things again ??
Rom Change
Churchill Why don't you ask WIZ and BarnOwl they know the ins and outs.
Good Luck
Actually, I don't know anything yet about the differences between the stock MDA rom and the Jasjar rom published here.
Except the fact that it has a slightly higher rom number, that is......
And because my stock MDA Pro is one of the most stable phone edition devices I used so far there is no reason whatsoever to change to Jasjar rom and void my T-Mobile warranty completely.
If there is a way to make a complete rom image then the situation is different ofcourse. But I have not found a way to do that yet......

MMS account missing

I have upgraded my Rom to ver 1.28.0.0 WWE. I then added the T-mobile UK customisation cab to get all the correct settings back.
Everything went smoothly and the device is working like a charm for the last week now.
A friend of mine sent me a MMS yesterday and it crashed my device. After doing some investigation i found that the reason may be that under my messaging accounts i only have text and outlook, no mms.
I.e when i go into the inbox then click tools-options i don't have MMS there.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Funny you didn't just look Here first.

Actually i have already gone through that. The instructions from T-mobile won't help as i don't have the option of MMS in messaging under tools-options.
Screenshot of Accounts:
Another screenshot. Hope you know understand the problem:
Ahhhh, yes I do see your problem now. Odd as an MMS account appears to be part of the ROM and not a user configurable option, you may need to have to enter the settings, but it's actual presence is not optional.
Where did you get this upgraded ROM?
If you hard reset and do not run T-Mobile customisation cab do you get a blank MMS account?
P.S. Why not upgrade to WM6?

The rom is the PDAMobiz rom on the ftp. I installed the T-mobile original rom and it came back. But then installed the PDAMobiz rom again and lost it again.
Hard reset without the T-mobile customisation cab before too. But that still did not work. It must be in the rom? Anyone know how i can get it back without having to change rom, as i like this PDAMobiz rom a lot. Its so much faster then the T-mobile rom. Makes a world of difference.
???
BTW. My device is both SIM and CID unlocked in case that should make any difference..
Personally I'd just upgrade straight to one of the WM6 ROM's available on this site.
WM6 is faster than WM5 by default, there is a PDAMobiz version if you are particularly after theirs.
I have Bepe's original WM6 WWE.
I'm not sure I see the value of upgrading to a ROM that is essentially out of date now. Especially as that ROM appears to be faulty in regards to MMS.
Thanks Gajet. I thought id have to change ROM. Guess i was just delaying the inevitable..
Yeah it's a problem with that ROM. I've tried to get it working with no avail. Now, IF you can understand the instructions given to this guy and you can follow them, then you might solve your problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304706&page=6
I don't understand the instructions and the user did not respond to my PM so...
I know this is an old thread but this happened to me on an Exec a couple of years ago.
I'm guessing it will still be somewhere in the exec forum,
failing that I have two different cabs both of which claim to bring back the MMS folder, although I cant guarantee it works for an orbit but i guess its worth a try seen as the only other option that fixes it is a hard reset.

ATT / Cingular 8525

I am having a hard time telling which ROM is the the actual official ATT / Cingular 8525 Rom for Mobile 6?
I still cannot find any trace of it on the AT&T or HTC America Websites.
I also do not really know which ROM I can run properly on the Cingular network without running into configuration and proxy issues?
in response to above
this site has the current official att rom

Yea... I loaded that moths ago. It's the Mobile 5 upgrade, not Mobile 6. They added a few PTT features and re-logo'd from Cingular to AT&T.

You can't find it on AT&T's or HTC's sites because they haven't "officially" released the WM6 ROM for the 8525yet. It's supposed to be coming soon.
I've been using one of the "unofficially leaked" WM6 ROMs and it works fine on my 8525.

you will not run into these issues you speak of on any WM6 rom since they settings can be entered manuly or there are cingular cabs floating around that load them for you its very simple try google search for cingular MMS settings and see what you find. then look for cingular ISP settings its very simple given the info on this website.
Also unfortunately, HTC doesn't allow us USA customers to register our devices for their e-club so the AT&T WM6 upgrade will only be out when AT&T says it's ready. Until then I suggest using leaked official rom found here in the forums or vp3G's custom at&t rom. Both will set your device up for use automatically.
So which one should I choose? I really don't know which one will work? Can I use a standard one? Is there any special proxy settings that need to be entered?

Softbank Japan ROM

Hi everyone,
I picked up the Softbank X02HT but it came with the Chinese ROM.
Since I'm using it in Japan, I'd like to switch over to the Japanese ROM.
I wasnt able to find the Softbank Japanese ROM anywhere online... perhaps someone had a suggestion?
Thanks for your help!
also very much interested in that
i am in a similar situation and already posted several requests about switching my Dopod ROM to a Softbank one or at least get all the important functions of the Softbank ROM working on my Dopod 730...but so far no reply.
if you receive any enlightenment please share it with me.
cheers
beefandcorn,
Im in the same boat as I picked it up in HK to use here in Tokyo
kinda ironic how it was setup to use here and now it only partially functions.
I cant seem to find a ROM anywhere for it as well
some of the settings from the X01HT will work.
Im tempted to go to softbank and get them to reflash it back but i have a feeling ill get busted for having an unlocked one.
The keyboard layout is f'd up not all the keys match, I can send SMS but cannot receive, and I cannot access internet via 3G...
What is your experience like so far in Japan for the dopod rom?
Using foreign ROM on Softbank network
Actually, I’m also using the HK ROM on the Softbank branded X02HT in Japan.
SMS and 3G Packet service works okay but it seems the MMS is impossible to get working.
Just to confirm, here are my settings for internet access.
In “Connections”, I have a connection that “Connects To” “The Internet”.
The access point is “softbank”, the username is “[email protected]” and password is “softbank”.
In “Proxy”, I didn’t have anything setup.
This is the paid packet service, where you pay per use.
I think you also need Softbank to have your plan include “packet service”.
It looks like you can also setup the flat rate internet service but I haven’t tried that.
Sorry, I’m not sure about SMS issues.
Is it possible to dump the ROM from a retail Softbank X02HT?
Then, we could flash the official ROM onto the phones and all the problems go away.
Hope it helps…
i agree
yes if somebody could provide a ROM dump of the softbank rom that would help... well also need to figure out HOW to flash it then...
The company I bought my phone from (mail order from the US) offered me to reflash the phone to the Softbank ROM but it is not cheap and I also would need to send it back to the US for that (and pay for the DHL/UPS costs)
So I would prefer doing it myself (if its not such a hassle)
Yea. I got my X02HT in HK, and although everything works fine here on AT&T, I'm having an issue with remembering where some of the symbols are.. since some of them don't match up... any luck finding the Original ROM?
It seems that the original Japanese ROM also has English. and I would assume that this ROM maps the Keys correctly... as opposed to the Dopod ROM installed now...
Please HLP w/ Tmobile WIZA200 in JAPAN...cant get signal
I'm starting to think there is no solution I have unlocked and uploaded and reloaded and re-unlocked, etc but still the same problem...My phone can not access the cellular network. I did a manual search and my phone does not acknowledge the JP Softbank network. I have put different kinds of ROM's and OS upgrades, etc, but still no success. I'm starting to think that these great unlocked PDA's only work in Europe and North America and not in JAPAN.
I have seen several other threads with others having the same problem so I am going to try to ask this question in several different threads.
I have no errors and everything works fine in the process, just like everybody says it does, but still nothing for acquiring a signal. It just either shows an exclamation point or searching dots. I have compared the various carrier options on my phone to other Softbank phones and everything is the same networks except acknowledging the Softbank network.
I'm praying there is some smart person out there who can figure this out...PLEASE...PRETTY PLEASE...
Works on DoCoMo but NOT on Softbank
I also have a Dopod ROM and funny thing is, the phone works like a charm on the DoCoMo Network (Phone and SMS) but when I pop in a Vodafone SIM it cannot even connect to the Softbank network
Very Strange...
we have a thread going on this issue and maybe you can add some input.

I hope that helps.
can anyone here send me the files for the windows mobile 6 standard from the s621?
Black Dash, whats it really called, Excalibur 620 621???
im just a newbie but do you mean the BLACK Tmobile Dash.. if so the ROM that came with this phone from Tmobile is version, 1.22.531.8 which is on Tmobile's site, you just have to enter your IMEI number and follow the instructions on how to install.
just to to Tmobile site, and go to support, phone/device support go to the bottom where it says Tmobile Phones, look for the Dash, and go to the download section and look for the ROM there
sorry couldnt post direct site.
