Rogers and Custom Themes - HTC Excalibur

Has anyone with this unit on Rogers been able to apply new themes? I've tried a few, but can't get them to work.
Now it is possible i'm just doing this wrong, and if so, does anyone have a site with some themes they know will work?
THanks.

Are you running the rogers version (s621) or an unlock dash model (s620)?

I have the s621. I'm not sure about unlocking it. I'd like to avoid brickin' it.

copy this file to your phone, and then run it - got this from their website.

That link you posted is to install Root Certificates for self signed or wildcard Security Certs. I work for Rogers and have extensive knowledge of this device, and the problem is that Rogers application locks this device. The only way i could get around this stuff, in order to edit the registry, install unsigned applications (themes included) was to install the T-Mo release of WM6.

Uhm, I don't think that's true. I installed this cab, and used the SDA unlocker, and I can edit the registry, install software, change themes, etc. I don't have the tmobile ROM.

Same here. I just got a Rogers s621 and have been installing everything with no locking issues whatsoever. So Rogers did not application lock the device they sent me.

can anyone with the Rogers HTC s621 post the ROM. I'm trying to enable Name Display feature to work with all cooked roms.

My S621 seemed to have come application unlocked..
I got it just the other day, and installed Facade, and a few other programs.
But its weird, it seems like it was application unlocked for the first...5 programs or something
Got to PocketNester and Mobile Office and it gave me the insufficient permissions error.
I grabbed the SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab file from this thread, ran it and was able to install Nester and MOffice.

I CID unlocked my T-Mobile Dash I got, Ran the rogers WM6 rom and installed fine.
I coudlent install any applications though and came across this post. Ran the Rogers Cert cab file and then sureal unlocker which auto edits the registry and installing applications perfectly.
This is a awsome find.

Name Display on an unlocked TyTN with Rogers...
. .

Guys,
I need your advise...
I got an unlocked TyTN ROM:3.54.255.3 and Radio: 1.48.00.10 (Non-Rogers); I could not get the Name Display to work on Rogers.
I came accross this thread and I'm wondering what to do?
I'm wondering is there like a cab file that we can run to set the registry for a TyTN?

Can anyone post the link to Rogers WM6 ROM for TyTN?
Thanks

I am getting Country ID error when I am trying to install it
As per my usual request...
If anyone DOES manage to get it installed, can they run Cleartype and see if it is 'GOOD' Cleartype, like the O2 ROMS, or useless, garbled and coloury Cleartype, as per the Orange ROMS please?
As for the Country Code error, is it a T-Mobile or UK device you are installing on?
if not, you'll need to edit the nbf files for the correct country.
How to edit those files? TIA
NBF files are passworded, can't seem to open them in editor

Unlocking Imate PDA2K extended rom

Dear All,
I am not sure if this topic has been covered but is there a program to unlock the extended rom of my Imate PDA2k device? The 19.5k program which I remember was posted a while back does not unlock my extended rom. Has anyone found a solution?
Best regards,
Gilbert
Hi again,
Does anyone have aanswer to unlocking the extended rom of blue angel?
Best regards,
Gilbert
The attached zip holds the two files you need. Thanks to some members here at XDA-dev.com
Copy both to your Imate. Tap on the .cab file to install it. Then using a file explorer such as Resco, run unlockextrom with the arguement -unlock -xda3 Once that is done, do a soft reset and you should be go to go.
Dave
Nice.. Thank you!
One question from a wary user.... Will unlocking the rom cause problems with a rom upgrade down the road? That is, if IMate releases a new rom upgrade, will it upgrade fine? I would assume that if it upgrades fine, then I would need to unlock it again after the rom update?
Thanks!
I only unlock my ROM when I want to make a change. Otherwise, I leave it locked.

This also happens on the XDA II. I found that with dismissing the errors, eventually it says unlocked OK. And after a reset, I can see and write to the Extended ROM.
I agree with dcs, it should eventually work.
Unlocking the Extended ROM doesn't seem to have an effect on ROM updates that I have seen or heard of.

No!!
This tool gives you access to a hidden storage of the MDAIII.
But with the new /Storage you don't need to unlock the ROM unless you plan to modify the cab files used in hard resets, correct?

No, but, it does give you more usable storage, especially if you move the .cabs out of the folder till the next hard reset.

Rom version
Hi all,
i just bought my 9090 here in Portugal and it has
Rom version 1.12.00 WWE
Radio Prot 1.02.00
Protocol 1337.32
Extended Rom 1.12.120 WWE
i just saw the extended rom upgrade, but where can i find the Rom upgrade ?
anyone?
Remove Wifi logo
By the way, i just unlocked my extrom and found a "strange" .cab
BA_OEM_PA_Remove_Wifi_Logo.sa.cab
any comments on what this really is?
Hi guys,
Thanks for the tools but I couldn't unlock my Imate PDA2k. To unhide ExtROM but couldn't edit it is useless.
Could anybody give me a hint? Thanks many times!
Quote:[This tool gives you access to a hidden storage of the MDAIII]
How much MB of hidden storage we are talking about?

HTC S621 Released in Canada on Rogers

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.
>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.

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 ?

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.

Caller ID WM6 ( for ROGERS and FIDO customer only)

here is a new post cause the old post were to heavy
( link to the old post )
ok on the preview post some info was that it is possible to have the name display work with the name display ( here are a confirmation on the rogers site )
so it should be on the ext rom
does someone know how to extract it from it .. and does some one know if their is different version of the ext rom of rogers .. cause one version of the rogers is on the wiki
note: the rom from rogers is a WM5 ... that might be the problem ....
thanks
here are a explanation for the one who do not know what is it
Name Display is a new service that allows you to see the names of national landline callers as well as Rogers Wireless and FIDO callers, even if the person is not in your address book!
fido offer the same
fido is owned by rogers
Anyone that can extract the full registry from the original rogers tytn/hermes will be much appreciated as well.

i have wm6.1 .. it's shadow ce .. i love it .
today i called rogers and had the caller id activated . i was excited! but it doesn't work on my phone .
must be because i have shadow ce and not the standard rom .
what can i install to activate the caller id feature?
thanx in advance
it is not on the extended ROM apprently.
There is another thread where someone installed the Rogers WM5 ROM and reset before the extended ROM was installed and Name Display still worked.
on another thread people have pledged money, but no go.

you know what... the rogers Tytn(hermes) comes with wm5 .. but the rogers Touch comes with windows wm6 .. and name display works .
so can we install the wm6 from the rogers touch onto our hermes?
i'm on a kaiser now . but still interested in getting caller id to work .. so just to test, i put back the Rogers WM5 standard rom on my hermes.
I tested with two roms:
- Rogers ELF RUUUpdater-V2
- Rogers WM5 RUUUpdater-V2
Even though i have Name Display activated through rogers, i was not able to resurrect it's functionality by flashing to original roms .
this causes me to beleive the support for this feature is in the radio shipped with rogers.
Well, you are absolutely right aliencurv....it is in the radio.
I can't believe how many threads on the subject that are not concluded. (Maybe some people know the answer but just didn't post it)
I guess the problems is us, Canadians.
Anyhow, I managed to work rogers name display on my Hermes. I had been using CRCs 13.1 (absolutely great ROM, thanks a million). I found and downloaded original Rogers ROM (from ROMbaker) and flashed the Hermes. Name Display (CNAP) didn't work.
Then by accident I found this radio:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323957
Updated the radio and I am in business. Name Display works.
I posted this because
1-I wanted to help fellow Canadians
2-I am hoping to get help from experienced members to make this work on WM6.1
Impatience....
Here is what I did while waiting a response.
First I downloaded ROMDonalds kitchen tools
Unpacked CRCs 13.1 and Rogers original rom.
Copied ril.dll and rilgsm.dll FOLDERS from the rogers dump folder to CRCs dump, repacked the rom and flashed my hermes. Phone turned on and connected to the computer but screen was pure white. Nothing was visible.
Then I copied only rilgsm.dll FILE and packed the rom. Phone turned on normal but no name display.
Then I copied ril.dll file. Same as above.
In each case I also created the registry settings under HKLM/.../RIL that exist in Rogers ROM but not in CRCs.
This is what I could do as a rookie. Any experienced person's help would be highly appreciated.

Windows Market Place is up

I'm using NRG's latest 2.1 rom and have just installed windows market place. just download and install
im probably gonna get flamed to hell for this - but my rom doesnt have the marketplace cooked in - is there a user installable cab? ive searched but failed.
I installed it but it complains that it can't talk to the server
Have they taken it down again?
EDIT: Seems like VodafoneUK and O2 UK don't have it accessible yet...

im seeing some people working fine with marketplace - so im thinking its a rom specific thing - probably some reg setting for server or something - will be trying a few new roms today
I just tried that MP.zip on my TP2, unzipping all files to a folder on the SDcard & running the main app: nothing for me, it starts up & then nothing happens
Joe
I am running NRG's lastest ROM as well on Tmobile USA. When I first opened up Marketplace, it told me that I needed to install the Updated App and that worked fine. After that however, it says that it cannot reach the server
T-mobile USA, cannot connect to server here also.

I know ms is updating their server and stuff, I got an email saying that myphone service is the being updated and it wont be available for sometime, maybe the same with marketplace. And can some one put a cab here in this forum, no point linking us to a diff forum where we have to register again to dl.
I downloaded the cab from ppcgeeks, it took me to a page in opera asking me to download another cab, I did so, and Marketplace is working fine over Wifi with my Sprint TP2!!
Still no worky for me even with that cab
