Dumping S620 rom, downgrade ?

Hello,
I really want to upgrate to WM6 as soon as possible. My phone operator offer me some services (emails, web, messenger) only if I use the prvided settings and applications.
If I upgrade to WM6 and things don't work, is going back to factory state as simple to flashing HTC WM5 + EXT ROM ?
Jean

I was wondering the same thing: I would like to upgrade to WM6, but not without having a backup of the WM5 rom supplied by the Wireless Network Operator.
I searched the forum on how to backup the rom, but was unable to find any usable information. Anybody would like to help us out?

you can't back it up in that way.
just download one of the wm5 roms posted here.

1. The original WM5 ROM for the s620 is available. It's out there online if you do a little searching. It used to be hosted here. I ran it on my Dash for months before going to WM6.
2. HTC is going to be releasing the WM6 update soon. This will be a MUCH better firmware than T-Mobile's. Also, if you wait for it, you won't have to worry about unlocking or anything.

p.s. Smartphones don't have an Extended ROM.

alright thanks guys, I'll just wait till the official HTC release, I also found the wm5 roms, so I should be all set.

I was able to find an unbranded rom (not sure if it the latest... which is the latest French version ?) but if smart phones doesn't contain ext rom, where are the customizations ?
My french phone operator is Ten Mobile. I think it will be tricky to find that particular rom.

wm5 rom...
Can someone email me a link or email me the original wm5 rom for the htc s620 and not the t-mobile dash version?
TIA

why not ? there are lots of roms out there, check the wiki-pages
Choose your favourite, don't forget to run USPL before flashing and there should be no problem
....and please don't ask which rom is the best one - there are lots of threads about that and imo it's inadequate the say which one is the best.
All the cooks are trying to create great roms - it's up to you which one you like the most....

Yes you can upgrade or degrade
You can always upgrade to WM6 and downgrade to WM5 if you intend to change later. I have done it before many time installed different ROM's.
You only need to run USPL before any new ROM install.

I did this myself just the other day. You can get the official ROM from here for the UK XDA Orbit.

This one does'nt need USPL since it is the official ROM.

I think I'm going to go this route. That site says I need Activesync 4.5 - however I'm on Vista and using the Sync Centre application - will this do?

Have a look at this thread Anjow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317589&highlight=vista
I think it has everything you need.

Thanks. Given how complex that looks I think I'll just use my XP machine to do it.
Am I right in thinking that upgrading like this will hard reset the device? That I'll need to reinstall all my programs and reinstate my appointments/contacts etc.? If so, can I create an SPB self-extracting backup on WM5 then run it on WM6 to get my config back?

I know there are lots of ROMs out there but I was just careful and used the standard O2 release:
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
And yes, it clears out your machine unless you have installed the software on the SD card in which case it just gets confused.
But it is worth it.

Odd, that site won't accept my serial number... I have tried many different combinations of what it could be (swapping 0 for O etc.) but it keeps telling me it isn't valid.

Just use the link I provided, it is the same ROM. Using the other link you have to make sure that you use Internet Explorer, other brwsers don't work.

Will do then, cheers.

slow downloads
could someone please up the official O2 UK WM6 ROM for me please?
i've tried downloading from the aforementioned official websites. it starts out at a fine speed, then gets slower and slower until it eventually times out.
really want to upgrade, so if someone could upload the official rom to megaupload/rapidshare i would be much appreciative.
thanks

Here you go, fortunatly I still had it on my HD from when I upgraded mine.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WOEXBYKO

thanks!
cheers for that much appreciated. however it seemed to download fine this time, but i'll get urs as a back up too!
this is the official ROM right?
thanks again

Yes it is the official ROM, I got it from the link I posted earlier in the thread.

NEW HTC ROM!! HTC_WWE_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe

http://rapidshare.com/files/7886560...S_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe.html
I was just poking around the HTC europe site looking for the BBconnect v4 for the dash, and i happened to run across this.
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_Brightpoint_US_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe
p.s. - if anyone knows a link or where i can find this elusive bbconnect v4 for the dash, PLEASE hook me up.

Think you could upload the rom to rapidshare or something, since my Dash isn't HTC branded I can't register and get the download.

Encourages. Probably Russian ROM will appear soon

Try flashing it to t-mobile wm6 then use Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS, afterward just flash it like any other rom. Thats how I did mine and I have the same error as yours.

I've been running it all day. It's a bit quicker but nothing major.

Is this quicker than the Rogers ROM? Any reason to upgrade to this?

Does the ROM support SDHC cards?
Any early verdict on better or worse than the Rogers Rom?

Hi,
i've got this ROM on my Excalibur:
HTC_S620_GER_1.27.407.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship
I'm german, so I want to use a ROM in german language.
Is the ROM mentioned in this thread suitable for me ?
I think it says ..Brightpoint_US.. in the filename, so it's for the US only ?
I do not have access to the HTC support area since my device is non-HTC branded. Maybe someone can upload a german version of the 1.33 ROM if available ?
Thank a lot

wtf! does anyone know how to get full screen on the esmertec java? it's quite annoying...anyway this rom is damn fast...

What's the status on a working WM 6.1 rom?

I know you guys get this question daily, but I'm waiting on 6.1 to get ported to the S630 before I upgrade from my S620. Any promising progress or ETA?
Thanks!

status updates
i think a lot of people would like to know the latest status of the cavalier WM 6.1. It might be a good idea also if some of the developers working on the project coordinated together.
Who is working on Cavalier WM 6.1 and what their status?

I want to cook WM6.1 rom for Cavalier. Anyone can give me help? Thanks

I would love to see a 6.1 rom as well. Even the Dash has one now!

WM 6.1
Hey, what is the hitch in trying to develop WM 6.1 for the Cavalier? Is anyone working on this? Does anyone need help? I might have some resources to help. I have an unlocked X02ht coming in the mail for me to replace my dying Dash... I just realized I gotta jump back from 6.1 on my Dash to 6.0 on the X02ht. Seems sad. Please let me help, whoever is heading this project.

This seems to have stagnated. I've never cooked a ROM but I do have a technical side.
Where do we start?
Do we just approach someone who's done a 6.1 ROM for a different device?
Most of the ROM cooking guides seem to assume a ROM of the right version to start with...
Anyone point me in the right direction?

As there's no official WM6.1 Rom for the moment for Cavalier it is hard to create a cooked WM6.1 ROM as you need to port a working 6.1 ROM from another smartphone (my best guess is Excalibur as it has the same form - more or less) and porting is very hard thing to do.
Cheers

Now there seems to be 6.1 to s620 Excalibur
Seen elsewhere...
Maybe it will help
hey guys this is a link to the new windows mobile 6.1 for the T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur or S620)

Sorry no it won't. What needs to happen is for a ROM to be ported over to the Cavalier. There are a couple of walk throughs that I'm planing on looking at. If I make any progress I'll post it here, but don't hold your breath.

I heard somewhere- here probably- that we're waiting for a CID unlock before work can begin on a wm6.1 rom for the cavalier. Not being a developer, I haven't a clue what that means but I hope we get one quick, because I want that threaded sms! Anyone here know what a CID unlock is and how the developers can get one?

With HardSpl already active you don't need CID unlock anymore.
HardSPL make the device think that is CID unlocked but in reality it's not so you can flash any ROM you want.
Cheers
P.S. Keep in mind that this does not apply to SIM unlock.

Well that's certainly some good news! Now if we can only find a charitable developer to cook it up!

I really don't know if there are any unofficial WM5 roms out there, in my case I know that the WM5 official rom is very well kept by my phone carrier.. I also tried to go back to WM5 some months ago and the only way I could was running hardspl to my device and flash back to a WM5 original rom (eventhough it wasn't my "real" official rom since I'm with TIGO a latin american carrrier) with T mobile and it ran ok in that moment. I just had WM5 like for 1 day and went back to 6.5, I really couldn't resist due to the other apps and easy tweaks that it currently have
