Dash wont read storage card and no camera. - HTC Excalibur

Hello,
I have a couple problems. I've just recently purchased a Rogers s621 and unlocked it and upgraded the ROM. I have a 1gb micro sd and when I try to access it its not even recognized. Like its not there. Anyone ever have problems with it not reading right before? Also when I try to start the camera it says "unable to initialize camera, failed to set up the camera device". I had these problems before I unlocked the phone. Thanks in advance. Also the card is a sandisk

Oh oh...well the thing is that i might not be able to help you out with that in the first place, just wanted to ask you, why u didnt go back to rogers and got it replaced by a working one? since, might be a hardware problem but they may not take it back from you after the unlock and the rom upgrade. cuz you cant really proof whether it had the problem before..dont you think...

Sorry, forgot to put I bought it private. Just seeing if there is a fix or not for it. If not I guess i'll take my lose correct?

Try flashing it again, or flashing with a different ROM image. What have you got to lose?

Well I did that, put wm6 on it and still nothing. It thnks for a sec then nothing. Any other ideas?

HELP

I have a xda IIs, and yesterday when i tried upgrading it to the new rom, from o2's website, there was a connection error during the upgrade (for no apparent reason), but now it is stuck in what looks like a bootloader so something, with just usb v2.07 on the screen.
So i was just wondering if anyone could help me, as i could really do with it working.
p.s. i didn't know if it's possible to load a live rom or anything from a sd card, like you would a computer.
plus i don't mind if it can't run windows as long as theres an operating system i could use on it, that would allow me to use the wifi.
Thanks
surly someone know something to do, Please!!!

Thanks, but the problem is the computer never see's that the device is there, how ever long i leave it, and see i get a connection error when i go to install the rom, because it dosn't thing it's there.

Help! have i been cursed with a bad dash?

i dont know what's wrong, ive owned this dash since march. updated to wm6 when it came out, then stopped giving a hoot after finding out that SNappunlock wont work on my dash.
i noticed people here found a very nice dash rom that i want to flash to so badly, but i learned that this requires appunlock in order to get the CID bypass to work
after searching around for wm5 (took about an hour) so i can flash back just so i can appunlock, then flash to the better rom. i found it! all thanks to BGNiko
you think i'm done with my problems, right? well i go to flash to wm5, and during the flashing session, the screen brings me to that RGB before the rom change happens, but no go! it tells me my usb cable isnt hooked up even though it is. ive had no problems re-flashing to the wm6, so the cable isnt the problem.
anyone ever have problems reverting to wm5? is there a solution?
thanks in advance
ps: i have us tmobile
uhh... did you try again?
i had the same thing happen to me. tried again, same thing (same message that you got). restarted the computer, tried again... presto. worked fine.
so long as the flash process doesn't start, your phone should be fine. it's just a matter of getting the computer to talk to the phone. it might be as simple as a computer restart... or trying a differnt usb port or something.
well, took your advise.. didnt work, but thats because i have vista (go figure). did it on my other comp and it worked
though i'm still faced with the appunlock problem
appunlock didnt work, and every time i go to execute sda unlock it tells me that its "not a certified windows CE edition"? or something to that matter
any help would be greatly appreciated
edit: wow, so i am an idiot. i thought the apps had to be excecuted from the phone.
anyway, did the uspl cid unlock. turned my screen white instead of black, but i'll take it

Desire Won't Recognise SIM following update

I have just updated my Desire to what I think was 2.29 following a system software notification. It went through ok, rebooted and said sucessful, however, it will not recognise my SIM, I keep getting "No SIM card in phone error". The SD card is mounted ok, and from what I can see everything else appears to be working.
Info;
Software number;
2.29.405.5
I haven't rooted the phone, messed about with it in ANYway...I have rebooted the phone and reseated the SIM about 10 times now, no change...
Please please is there anything I can do? Am I going to have to factory reset?
thanks
Anthony
Any ideas?? Sorry I'm completely stuck and won't be able to get hold of T-mobile for days yet....
Try another sim card in the phone, test your sim card in another phone, post back after you have done that as you can see what is at fault.
Arrgh, sorry I was sure I'd typed all that down...
Yes I already have put another SIM in, a pay as you go which also doesn't work. I have tried putting my SIM in another phone and it works fine...so definitly not that.
T-Mobile have no ideas, they hadn't heard of it, they gave me HTC's number but they shut naturally....and will be until Wed at the earliest
Sounds to me as the sim reader on the phone is faulty, you can try pushing on it and holding it and see if that helps, if not you are stick till you can send the phone away for repair, seems odd tho that it happened after the update.......
I have the same problem with my Desire. After the update, it won't recongnize the SIM.
Can you some how re-run the update or do a ruu file update.
I tried with another SIM in my phone and it's working. So is it possible that the update damaged the SIM?

I would not think so, sometimes if you have a older sim it does not work, it looks like you sim card is at fault, phone up your operater and see if you can get a newer one.
Ok then. Thank you for the advices.

The OP's problem maybe because of the new radio that is included in this OTA.
It's a bit strange as this is the first reported issue with a sim that isn't working after an applied OTA (as far as I know).
It's a general rule of the thumb that, if you have a problem occurring right after an OTA, then you should reinstall it. So you might give it a try - download the OTA, and reapply it manually.
Yes the SIM works in another phone. And I hadn't touched the phone after the update, just let it reboot and it failed to recognise.
This is a good idea though, I will try and download the update and install it again.
Am I gonna have to flash the whole phone to do this? From what I've read you can't just apply the small (5mb update) you have to do the big 168mb one? Sorry, n00b at this.
Only the update (5MB).
If you flash the 168MB one you'll lose your data, as it's a complete ROM, not an update.
Edit: The OTA seems to be missing from shipped roms but I've found it over at some german blog and uploaded it here.
Thanks for the info. Ok I manually updated, which went through ok again, but no change
I will have to try factory reset, I just can't see what would stop the SIM being recognised.....
Unless theres anything else you can think of? I will perform hard reset...really don't want to though.
Hoping my phone isn't knackered.
If you were fine before going to the latest update, you could try to revert back by flashing the 2.29.405.2 rom which is in essence the same as the latest. Download this 161MB zip http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
Then rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" (zip is the extension, not part of the name)
Put in in your sd card, without placing it in any folders
Turn off, Turn on holding the volume down key, and you shall be asked to apply it.
This will erase all your data, just like a factory reset.
any luck with this, just done the same on mine NOT rooted and NOT branded Desire on Orange. I can see all the networks when I scan for them but whem I try and connect to one it says 'your SIM card does not allow these services' or something similar
What version did you update to the 405.2 or 405.5?
now running 405.5
Go back to 405.2 if you can seems the 05 update is the problem here.

[Q] Some Things Not Working On Desire [Q]

Anyone that can help me with this one, can be my new bestfriend
After getting really really depressed over being on the Official HTC Sense ROM with my Desire, I decided to change to the Starburst ROM. As the new Unrevoked doesn't work with the latest official build of Froyo from HTC I always, always use this when I want to downgrade and root, to install new roms.
Normally, I will use the utility as indicated, everything will go smoothly, Eclair 2.1 will install, however normally my phone will be locked, and I will have to remove my SIM, update to 2.2, my phone will become Unlocked after updating, and I will root. However this time, when the utility copied a misc_partition or something like that to my SD Card, it came up with a load of write errors, saying there wasn't enough room on my SD Card, which I know is wrong as there is well above 6GB on there, and it's a Goldcard. One advantage of the utility is, if anything goes wrong you can press CRTL-C and the utility will stop with no changes made to your phone, however in my case this wasn't so. I stopped the utility, thinking if I continued due to the write error I would encounter some more errors, and I decided to do a complete wipe of my phone using the on-board Factory Reset in the Setting's menu. After doing this, I started to encounter some problems.
First of all, when the phone enters the setup wizard, it says I have 4 bars of signal, and a 3G connection. After around 15 seconds of being in the Wizard, I will suddenly loose all mobile connection. After completing the setup wizard, I will be prompted by a notice telling me I need to Insert an SD Card. Well my card is in there, and I know its working because after these problems I put it into my brothers phone, and formatted it, and it showed up as working just fine. If an LG POP can mount my phone, surely a frigging HTC Desire can?
I have noticed that if I remove my SD Card, then the problems with the Network will go away and I will be able to connect, however sometimes when I boot it my phone will connect to the Network for about 5 minutes with the SD inserted, then return back to Limited Service. *I have attached a picture of what I am seeing.* This is really annoying me, I am going to download the Froyo 2.2 ROM from Shipped-Roms as the SD Card seems to mount fine in HBoot. Please though, can anyone help me. Thanks.
*This is starting to become very annoying now, I have been working on this for several hours now, and I still have no fix or nothing. I can't exactly be patient and I don't mean to sound like a tech addict, but my world revolves around my phone, I use it for business ect. When I connect my phone to my computer, I get a message saying 'Install Drivers For Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' I have heard of CDMA before, but I don't think my phone is CDMA? My phone was originally branded Orange in the UK? Anyone that can help, just please please help me!
Hi, sorry I can't help with your problem as it seems too complicated to me (noob here) but reading what you wrote sort of alarmed me as I've been reading/watching videos on rooting and I thought that unrevoked (latest version) worked on any desire. It says so on the unrevoked site but you wrote you can't do it on yours because of new build of froyo.
Don't understand that, I'm on vodafone and asked advice to a few people about rooting and nobody told that I couldn't use unrevoked. Are you sure you can't use it. How about you do a factory reset and reflash rom and see how it goes. I do hope you're wrong about unrevoked though as I'm about to use it any day now (building up the courage...) Hope you get your problem solved.
well try to reinstall whole software via pc ...............
but check download latest version of official rom
back up your data as ur whole system sofware will be replaced
and do format ur sd in pc ( not a quick format )
hopefully it might resolve ur issues ( otherwise it seems a hardware issue >>>>>)
and i am not responsible for any sim locking or data loss sort of problems

Basically on the latest Froyo build from HTC (2.29.405.5) if you use Unrevoked, everything will go fine until it boots out of the bootloader to the actual software. On reboot Unrevoked will say 'Waiting for system to Settle'. This will never dissappear and it will wait for the system to settle forever and ever. However becuase you are branded on Vodafone, the chances are you're not running Froyo build 2.29.405.5, but a slightly older one. This is because when HTC release an update the phone companies have to put their software onto it, the the 2.29.405.5 update was only 5Mb, barely enough for the companies to be even bothered messing around with, so chances are you WOULD be able to root anyway, thanks for commenting.

Oh I know about data loss, Sim Locking and all that, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt, I've got a Utility on my computer that will unlock my phone and as for Data Loss, Google servers have it all
I've got a bit of an update though, I know your saying it's a hardware error but I think there are two key components here that aren't working.
- The SD Card
- The SIM Card
I have come to believe this, because I managed to use the PB99IMG file to update to the latest Froyo, and now my phone is saying there is an SD in there, but stats about the SD are unavailable in my phone, and also when trying to connect to the network, my phone will not connect to Orange. If I click on Manually Select, and I click on Orange, I get a message saying SIM won't allow connection to this network, if I do it with Automatic however, it just says unable to connect to the network at this time. I'm gutted I haven't been able to fix this yet, it's really annoying me because normally I would be able to sort this, been up all night trying to do it, any help is greatly appreciated.

Possibly a problem with my Device or HBoot? Could anyone point me to the correct RRU for me to reset my phone with? I am running the latest software version with a goldcard, the card won't mount when the phone is turned on, thanks.
This is for the 2.29.405.5 RUU

Really appreciate it mate, thankyou
*Update, I flashed this RRU, it's not working though :/
When you say not working what do you mean? More info needed!
Also, edit the 'Qualcom CDAM' thingy, that means its trying to install modem drivers - sounds you USB-bricked the phone

Yeah it won't connect in any way USB wise, and when IS ay not working, the OS works fine, connects to the network for the first 5 minutes, SD card won't mount, then after 5 minutes I get locked out of the network, and if I try and connect I get a message saying my sim won't allow connection to Orange :/ Think you can help?

[Q] Nitro HD external speaker stopped working after failed root.

Got my phone right after the last update and I went to root it with superoneclick and it hasn't had sound now for about 3 months. Wondering if anyone knows what I can do. I've tried just about everything I could think of but for some reason my phone just doesn't seem like it interacts with the pc right.
halp.
Thanks in advance.
you said a failed root, so if it's still stock you might be able to bring it in.
depending on who your with they will take your phone, send it in, upgrade the firmware (or re-flash it if it is the newest) and send it back to you for free.
i had mine rooted and with a custom firmware on it, and bell still took it and flashed V11a for me.
if you plug headphones in do they work?
hope you get everything sorted out
Thanks, I'll see what I can do, although as I have service with AT&T I can only expect a long harrowing process with nil results. :/
Yes, when I plug in headphones/auxiliary cords it's fine.
lol yea...it only took 7 days to get my phone back...
it's interesting that your headphones work, and it wouldn't be physical damage, because you said it happened after trying to root it.
i would re-try to root it, or downgrade/upgrade your firmware to see if that works before sending it in (if you do that)
sorry i can't be of much help, good luck though
