Upgrade error --> Devicelock

I tried to upgrade my dutch mda pro to the new qtek 9000 rom after I had upgraded to the new english t-mobile mda pro rom.
He wil start i an calibrate and al that and then you get the customisation and after that reset and he starts again and you must calibrate again enzo....
But after two or three times you get the message DEVICELOCK
you have got this rom illegally
what do I do??? More important how do I get my mda pro working again with t-mobile rom??
And yes I did follow the instructions on upgrading using the bootloader principle.....

Any news on this problem? I haven't tried the update, yet, but would of course hate it to get this error...

Yes, you have downloaded the wrong ROM. with that lock in it.
Try another one.

Which one?

Any other will do. Just try it.
I think this one is the best because it the first and only one that support AKU2 and A2DP:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe

I do not think the roms on xda-developers ftp site are locked.
Maybe the device itself is locked.
Did dadio22 flash with this UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe rom?
This rom is not locked.

I had one rom on the xda ftp server that had this devicelock.

Ehm it has simlock on it still but I used the new qtek rom(UNI_QTEK_WWE_13077_130176_10900_WWE_Ship) that was available on xda but I got it to work changed the provider to t-mobile and updated it again and it works again. But I don't think it works alright have got a few errors which I didn't have with the new t-mobile uk update.
Does anybody know what causes this because if it happens a lot more I think I want that t-mobile rom back. Is that possible because I think it would be a downgrade.....

wel to be honest, its a newproblem , ive never heard about ti before, as far as i know, u should ve had the Country ID error, rom locks and stuff, are to be detected through the uploader utility, but after you install it sucessfully on the system u get such an error, ik durf niet te zeggen dat ik iets over dit problem ooit heb gehoord

help
I have got the same problem. After the install from 02 rom to the qtek i get a message saying that i have illegally acquired the rom and device is locked.

wow! this is the first time i've read about a device that's got locked due to an upgrade. i don't have a qtek (it's from the stingy '3' right?? ) but i've flashed several UK's m5000 and one S'pore's Dopod using every available Rom, including qtek's (just to see the differences) with no probs except countryID error on dopod. which i solved by unlocking it with Buzz's Uni_unlock program to make Super CID unlock (even tho' it is a factory sim and network unlock device but just from another region/country).
As thereis only one latest rom release that i know of (from Orange), i am sure all the roms available here and at buzzdev.net has no device lock. i guess the problem could lie with your bootloader version. if it's not BL 1.00 or 1.01 why not change it to these first bfor flashing other roms.
other than that it must be hardware related which is unlikely as the device is made by htc and only renamed qtek, and for qtek to change or tinker with it could infringe on htc's copyright.

It was only the qtek rom i had trouble with. No need for that now since the new AKU 3 rom came out. Worked Great

New Dopod ROM for HTC Excalibur 1.15.707.2

A while ago Dopod published a new ROM for HTC Excalibur:
CID: DOPOD001
version: 1.15.707.2
language: USA
Download: RUU_Excalibur_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.15.707.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
Enjoy!

does this also work for the Dash or is it a s620 ROM only

I am wondering if this works on the dash or do I need to unlock it? Also, I am hoping this will work with BB Connect since it was released by Dopod just a week ago...

OK.
I am doing it now and I am flashing my DASH with the Dopod ROM. I was holding off on flashing with the test rom before and I didn't do the SPL bootloader upgrade. I'll confirm if it works with BBConnect.
EDIT: Looks like it doesn't work with TMobile DASH...It returned invalid model ID error. I am going to try and upgrade the bootloader first and see.

It didn't work for me. It looks like my dash needs to be cid unlocked first. I tried to do the bootloader upgrade and it didn't work for me. My unit just sim unlocked. How do I go about unlocking the cid as well?
Thanks

if you figure out how to CID unlock yours let me know..

if only spv developers would consider updating there spv services so that it cid unlocks the dash would be nice,?

MAN you are awesome bro!

BUT just one question how come you have not been able to get your hands on the tmobile dash rom just asking do not take it the wrong way please?????

does this rom only supports USA or also other languages?

what's new in that ROM guys?

IMEI-CHECK will CID unlock it for $38 until someone writes a free app to do it.

38 bucks its too much money ! rather dante to spv developers and have them update the spv services to be capable to cid unlock the dash!

is there a change log for this ROM??

Hmmm.. I get an error [294] invalid Vendor Error. Weird Cuz i can Flash the HTC Excalibur test roms with no problem..
Here's the explanation of the error from the rom Readme file:
ERROR [242] : INVALID LANGUAGE
ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY
One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.

So whats the difference in this rom and the test rom? How is it running any bugs? and the improvement

Does anyone know who wrote the program for the old XDAs and the Wizard? Perhaps they can update it relatively easily to work on the Excalibur. Is there any other way to fool the program into thinking this is the right device and force the upgrade????

I have an HTC Excalibur and i still can't flash this rom. I think the ROM is CID locked thats why..

I have an unocked DASH and was able to load up the dopod rom. first you have to load up the boot loader rom thats and the ftp here, then loadup the dopod rom. I've had my dash unlock since day one from imei-check.
it loaded up just fine. the big difference i've noticed is that now when I hold down a key the alternate keys charater appears like in the tmobile rom. The font is a little bit bigger, which don't mind at all. I'm using the dash on cungular currently. i've noticed my call clarity is a bit better and the recption is better.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. CID Unlock means that you can Install other ROMS on your Phone, SIM-Unlock means that you can use no other SIM-Card. The MDAcIII is NetLocked, so you can use just T-Mobile cards.
If that wasn't your question, please ask again

i just got my sim unlocked tmo dash and...

i want to upgrade it to wm6 (it comes sim unlocked and with rom 1.11.531.1).

I emailed it to you.
I went from tmwm5 to tmwm6 back to tmwm5 to rogers wm6 to htc wm6 to kavana wm6.1.
As long as I stayed with Tmobile roms I had no lock problems. I had to run software to unlock the other roms. Which would make sense since my phone is branded Tmobile. It really doesn't matter anymore because you can unlock for free now.

I am sorry, but I am real slow. Can you send me a link to Sim Unlock for free, I didnt catch it anywhere. Or does unlocking CID does unlock SIM as well?

[Q]Vodafone branded HTC Touch Diamond

Hello friendly people!
I got a sweet HTC Touch Diamond this x-mas.
However I want to flash it to MightyRom or Juicy.
The point is, my phone is Vodafone branded and all of you are talking about Telus, Sprint, etc.
I quote from the MightyROM topic:
"Compatibility List: TELUS, Bell, Sprint, Alltel"
Does this mean my phone could crash if I try unlocking and flashing it?
Also, how far can I go without loosing my warranty?
Thank you in advance

You should be asking this in those threads. I myself cant help you cuz im not sure.
Research And if your not sure and dont want to take a risk then DONT DO IT!!
If your comfortable with unlocking your phone and not sure about cooked ROMS. Id recommend installing the official 2.03 ROM that's if you don't have it already since you got if in Dec. But if you don't its a big improvement over the 1.93
As far as warranty. You would be Voiding it rite from the start by unlocking it.

but on the german vodafone-homepage i could only load the 1.97 version.
know somebody when the vodafone rom comes out. i also don't want to loose my warrenty.
could i install the orginal rom from htc??
i don't want to try something with changing the bootloader or so.
(btw: how bad is my english?? )

I just flashed my Vodafone branded HTC Touch Diamond to Duttys!
With great success.
For all the other Vodafone users:
HTC Touch Diamond (DIAM100)
Vodafone branded
Vodafone SIM
Phone bought in The Netherlands.
Software/methods used:
Unsigned HardSPL-1.40 OliNex
Custom RUU
Radio 1.00.25.05
Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC [2.03]
I did all of this with success using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
Enjoy flashing
P.S. Do not blame me if your phone, for some reason, does get bricked!
