TMo Dash SIM unlock Experiments.. - HTC Excalibur

i have tried a method posted somewhere that you use the DASHUnlock and RUUUpgrade program to write any rom to your phone.. Now when i insert SIM from another carrier, says something like FATAL ERROR. Data Crashed, contact your service operator
is there a way to fix it? (obviously im in research status, so if there isnt a answer, im goin to keep looking
also i've been experimenting with the SPL_1.11 alternate bootloader and now my Tmo Dash says at startup
(Tmo splash)
Excalibur PV
SPL 1.11 SPE MFG
(what means this? is bootloader corrupted?)
BR!!

I was guessing that the fatal error message is something designed by IMEI-check to prevent people using their bootloader for free.

Somewhere at the end of those instructions would have been a statement telling you not to worry about the datacrash error, and just re-unlock your phone. worked like a charm on my htc 620

how you relock your phone??
and.. i flashed the original T-Mobile ROM WM5 but phone still saying the same thing..

Is it possible to CID Unlock via the Manual Bootloader?

Is it possible to run some type of application that would CID Unlock through the manual bootloader for Tmobile Dash? Or maybe a way to manually do it?
It has been suggested on this board that if you use the "upgrade only" rom in the ftp, then you can flash your phone with the roms available without cid unlocking your phone. I have tried everything with the information received from the helpful people on this board, but it seems that the methods suggested work on some Dash phones but not others. Give it a go, I haven't bricked my phone trying yet. Good luck.
When I try the UpgradeOnly ROM, I get the same error as everything else. ERROR 300: INVALID UPDATE TOOL... any ideas? I thought I remembered seeing somewhere that you can add /something tag when you execute the file in DOS to circumvent this error but I can't find where I saw that.
Interesting, I haven't seen that error yet. Mainly I get Invalid vendor id for the upgrade only rom.
Does nobody know the answer to this question? Moderators? Or does anyone know how to circumvent that error?
same mess on the htc rom
I have now tried for 3 hours but i get the same error message. My T-Mobile Dash is unlocked, so all I am trying to do is make it a clean HTC 620 ROM.
Does anyone know how to help us???
thanks

the invalid vendor id message that your getting is telling me that your phone is still CID locked. you have to CID unlock then run the update util then it will allow you to load the HTC ROM.
basically put -
IMEI-CHECK.com
38 bucks
Done
CID unlock
Any idea how to unlock the CID?? i got the invalid vendor ID error...

How to upgrade to wm6 with htc-620 free.

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,

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!!

WM6 on Qtek (htc) S200

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 need an Explanation

Hey everyone, I'm new here so thank you all in advance for the Help.
I've recently acquired an HTC Diamond GSM phone. I live here in America and the phone was regionalized on a french carrier so I began my search on how to flash the firmware, thus ,hopefully, unlocking it. I stumbled across this site and after hours of reading the forums I was ready to try the three step process described on the [TUT] tutorial. I upgraded to Olinex 1.40 SPL, that worked flawlessly. Then I upgraded the radio to 1.0.25.23, worked. Finally I updated the ROM to DIAMING Ultimate xxxx I know its based off the 2.0.3 official. That also worked great. Mind you I was doing all this without a sim in the phone. Now it was time to put my SIM in the phone and get started right?
*** Side note*** My previos phone was a Sony Ericcson w810i that I also needed to flash/unlock. My SIM has worked perfectly in this phone for 2-3 years.
When I boot up the phone with my SIM in it get all the way to the Windows Mobile Desktop when it pops up with "Network Locked, Please Enter Unlock Code," or something to that effect. I went to my ATT account website and got a PUK code that supposedly unlocks your SIM for you, however I entered it twice and it didn't work. (I was told 10 straight failure locks your SIM permanently So i dind't go any further).
Basically I'd like to know what I've done wrong, or is there something I'm not understanding. Thanks again
Your phone is locked
So you bought a phone on ebay or something and it's locked to a carrier != your carrier. Flashing the ROM/Radio will not unlock the phone. You need to get an unlocker. I think Olinex? The guy who wrote the HardSPL that you used in the first step of the tutorial sells one for a good price. Contact him. I think there is/was a sticky thread in here or the General Diamond that specifically states this and who to contact.

Help: Several questions about unlock

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
