Please Help!! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I installed a Core 2.0 on my Wizard (T-Mobile MDA) but it still shows me that i have Windows Mobile 5.0. I thought Core 2.0 (Based on Xplore) was supposed to be a Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM. before that i installed 5.Crossbow Underground Edition, WM6 Most Beautiful Edition and Crossbow Reloaded. 5.Crossbow Underground Edition halted at 96% and Gave communication error but other two halted at 99% and gave Communication error but when i installed Core2.0 it was installed but it has the same old look and shows It as WM 5.0. My wizard is G3. It's IPL/SPL is 2.26 and OS is 2.26.10.2 (something like that). Can anyone tell me what problem am i facing and if it is no problem then which version of WM6 should i install which would be installed and will have a look of WM6 and would be shown WM6. Help will be appreciated.
Thank You!!

sorry! but my phone is already CID/SIM unlocked.

Are you sure it is CID unlocked? CID and Sim Unlock are not the same thing. All signs to me point to a phone that is locked (Flashed phone still on original OS)

u need to CID unlock before flashing..halting at 96% 99%, means that the SPL cannot b upgraded downgraded since yr CID is locked..pls read wiki first

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.

what's even easier is calling your service provider, telling them you're going overseas, and asking for the code

SPL 1.0 Olipof is a version of hard spl, you flash that to your device before doing the sim unlock.
Use the unlocker in this thread, by memory it does the whole lot, hard spl, and sim unlock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583
once you have done the unlock, i would then upgrade the radio rom to one of the recent ones, then update hard spl to a recent one, then update the rom to a wm6.1 rom. You need to start reading through the kaiser forum and wiki both of you.
Use that link for the sim unlock though, definately the easiest, i did it the other day on my replacement phone.

Your are using the signed hard spl. For install boinger rom use the unsigned version. Here is the link, follow the instructions.

Or you can use the one from JockyW2001 link is on post number 2.

Problem after HardSPL upgrading :(

Hi everyone,
I've just upgraded my (french) Diamond's HardSPL with the OliNex version found in the topic "Hard-SPL or how I learned to stop worrying and love the MPU". Everything was OK at this time so I booted and HTC "reinstalled" the TF3D interface files.
Everything is still working but when I tried (several times) to upgrade the Radio version to v1.00.25.05, the program stays at 0% for 3 minutes and then gave me the 262 update error. I tried to connect my Diamond to different USB ports but didn't change anything.
So I decided to download the official update from HTC website and install it (witch I did) but this update doesn't work too (same error)
The strory is not so bad because my Diamond is still working but I want to install an unofficial ROM...
PS: sorry for my english and thanks for your help
@tompim
The first post in the radio thread is worth reading carefully:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
I suspect that your problem is that you need one of the unsigned / developer hardspls for standalone radio upgrades and you are using one of the "signed hardspls"

Thank you very much for your explanation (i read the radio thread before strarting ).
In fact I want to install the Diamond Project Rom that need theses (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621) HardSPL version but I don't know what version number choose (I tried with the 1.34 and the same problem appeared
To remove all doubt and be able flash virtually any rom, flash the developer edition unsigned Hard-SPL from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950. It should do the trick for you.
Works like a chrarm thanks!
