anyone need to install a self-signed cert on their dash AKA excalibur??

I found a way to install my self-signed cert.. just drop me a post on this thread and I will post instructions.. very easy to do.

I have been trying to add a self signed cert, and I keep getting the error that the phone is locked. The cert worked fine on my wizard. I cant figure out what the problem is, can you help me out.

would also like to know how to, please ! but mine would be on my universal

it's pretty simple:
1. download the program file called VZW_SpAddCert.exe from Microsoft. It is designed to work with smartphones made by Verizon Wireless but I have discovered that it works with most all 2003 and WM5 smartphones.
2. copy the program and your .cer file to the root of the smartphone.
3. go to File Explorer on the device and run the VZW_SpAddCert.exe application. It may ask for your permission to run, click YES. It may come back and say no certificate files found. The application will exit. Next, still in file explorer, click on your .cer file and it will ask if you want to install the certificate, click YES. Done!

If you have WM6.1 then copy the certs anc click on those (via any file browser).

It is one of our end users phone and it is running Win Mobile 5 and to make matters worse it is on verizon with the Moto Q

I'm waiting for an explanation 'cause nothing I've done on my dash has ever told me that I needed a signed certificate for it to work.

ya i think it depends on your S62X, my Microsoft labled HTC S621 isnt locked like my old S621 from rogers, everything was locked needed mad app hack installs, this S621 that was won from a Microsoft conference is golden handles 288 with no probs, kinda sweet haven a Microsoft icon above the screen instead of a HTC icon but i dont get any locks, but we still dont know what this is, ?

Application unlock problem - HTC S621 from Rogers

Hi,
I have the HTC S621 from Rogers in Canada. I tried to install Route66 Navigator 7 and it sayed that it couldn't modify some registery keys, so i tried to application unlock my s621 and with all the fixes and utility on the web nothing worked.
Is there a way to application unlock the S621 from rogers?
I don't need to fully unlock the phone, just application unlock would do for me.
thanks for your help and time.

Unfortunately you have to unlock your phone (CID,SIM) before the app unlock will work. I had the same issue and did not find any workaround... On the other hand, if you're going to fully unlock your phone, may I suggest flashing to an S620... To provent further issues. Read the step by step in the forums on how to complete your flash first or else you get a Euro keypad.
HTC S620 ROM : http://rapidshare.com/users/7UE30C

That makes three of us.
I did the same thing.
Paid for the unlock, then i was able to app unlock the phone.

Well i guess that i will have to do that then.
But putting the original HTC S620 WM5 or WM6 on my HTC will it improve speed? functionnalities? Or just make it possible to install any application and put in any SIM card that i want??
I just don't want to pay again, and get so little improvement.

Executing Programs...
How do you execute the unlocker? Install on sd card then run app from pc? Or run from phone? How about the new rom? Not very clear on how to run these programs with active sync. First smartphone

MY question is... if I pay for the app unlock, and then install a ROM (say the T-Mobile WM6 beta or something of the sort) if that ROM has the locks in place again, do I have to pay AGAIN to re-unlock my phone apps?
Because that would really suck.

run the unlocker staright from your pc when your phone is plugged in and after it syncs. you dont need to put anything on the sd card at all. on your phone you will be asked if you want to install, hit yes, etc. same as running an install from your phone after that..

app unlock is free, CID/sim unlock is what costs money. you wouldn't have to pay to CID/sim unlock your phone it still will be. plus you have the unlocker already anyways. and you wouldn't pay for the app unlock cause it's free anyways.

never mind.. just read it over and everything made sense..
BTW, Could I get the phone unlocked from my provider? Do they just need to give me an unlock code or something? Or is the best bet getting it unlocked by a 3rd party?

NOTORIOUS VR said:
The problem is I can't application unlock my phone for some reason... just like the OP if I run it (even using u'r instructions above) it doesn't work. It gives me the error message Phone is not unlockable
I've tried doing it manually through the Registry as well... but I get an access denied error message when trying to store the values.
Is there any other way to get around this? It's really annoying that I can't install certain things.

I was only telling you what you're going to be paying for, sounded like you said you were going to pay for app unlock...
MY question is... if I pay for the app unlock,
is what you said. I wasn't trying to solve the problem, cause I've never hit that problem.

If you use the signed registry editor from HTC you could have app unlocked.
See here:

Thats the proper way to do it.

It's cool.
And I think if they would just unlock it for you it would go against the reason they put the lock on it, to keep you with them. So I believe only 3rd party is the only way.

Aye it does. If it doesnt let you copy the exe on you need to copy the zip on and unzip the exe on your phone using an unzip utility.

That won't work because it needs RAPI to be activated. You definately need to use the HTC registry editor I mentioned, that will def work. Post what your actual problem with that method is.

this is one that you execute from the comp when the phone is connected.

Where could i get a good ROM to install on my new unlock S621 ?
or the question is, wich ROM do i use ?
I still want the phone to be usable.
Is there a way to backup my current ROM in case a problem happens ?
Thanks.

RAPI is remote api, which is something that you execute from the comp when the phone is connected - i.e. why its called remote.
RAPI is disabled on most operator's branded phones, hence why your file doesn't work on the Rogers one. You need to unlock using the HTC registry editor i mentioned by running it on your phone.

Error Flashing: Unlocked T-Mobile Dash with all possible XDA 6.1 Downloads

Error Flashing: Unlocked T-Mobile Dash with all possible XDA 6.1 Downloads
I run into this same ERROR irrespective of which download I use. Any thoughts?
Image Version: 1.22.531.6
Upgrade To Versions tried with Ricky / Kavana etc Brazil Portuguese etc:
1.33.424.2
1.33.424.2
RESULT:
The phone shows the Red Green Blue Band with little white at bottom screen. Then phone and PC show 3%. Then it goes to the following:
Error [270]: Update Error
The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility.

Need a little more info
Read the Stickies but you need to application unlock your phone
Probably going to have to put in bootloader mode first reflash to your official Rom then App Unlock then follow 6.1 upgrade guide.

Sim unlock is different than application unlocking

Whatever you do don't click the top one your dash will explode

I get the fundamentals of Simunlock v/s AppUnlock etc.
It was SimUnlocked using Unlock code I had got from T-Mobile.
1. It already has the latest Official ROM version on it (i.e. I tried doing it with the latest T-Mobile) and it shows the version I have is the same.
Do I need to reflash it with the ROM that is aleady present on my DASH? Is it worth trying that?
2. Now the step called AppUnlock? Which tool should I use given that I would have the T-Mobile Carrier 6.1 ROM on it (either already or reflash with T-Mobile 6.1 AGAIN)
3. After AppUnlock should I go for the FLASHing guide? Which one would that be?

if you search hard u can find it
sda unlock then put that file in your phone open it
then reboot
then just install it should be all center buttons if your using rickys rom
that's all

to add what are u talking about tmobile 6.1 there is none available from tmobile 6.1

a. follow EXACTLY what the guide says. download the files it tells you to (and provides links to). thats why i put PICTURES so you wont have to ask. get the app unlocker from the guide....no need to install anything on the phone..just plug it in via activesync and run the app unlock...it will look like the pictures...then reboot and continue the install
b. tmobile has no 6.1 rom.

HELP!!! I bricked my diamond

I cannot get past the start up screen! I have the CDMA diamond used
HSPL057 and attempted to update to SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 (FULL) And now it will not go past the boot up screen!! What can I do?

you installed a GSM rom.
you need to do more reading.
1) Reading would have told you the differences between the devices and would have informed you you need hte correct one for your device.
2) you're not the only one who has done this if you do a search you will find how to recover from this issue.
3) i cant stress enough to read first do later. it helps you prevent situations like this.

Thanks for your help
The instructions said it was for SPRINT CDMA devices, that is what I have- I have searched all through out these posts and cannot find out how to recover from this. Can you please help if you know how?

Once in bootloader mode connect to your PC via usb lead, wait for drivers to load, then
run a CDMA ROM.

Which CDMA ROM is best to use

Fingers crossed yes...
Read all the posts from the CDMA ROM page to get feedback and questions answered etc, and do a little more research via the "Search this forums" button before posting a query.
I guess we all started as XDA newbie's, so don't worry.

Got to log off now todaytoo.
Best of luck, will catch up on forums tomorrow.

Just 2 questions I think this was a good example.
Where is the CDMA Rom page?
What ROM exactly did you install? (todaytoo)

ok...its not working
ok, im at the bootload screen...I can connect to active sync. I downloaded the CDMA ROM it came in .rar format I changed to it .exe at when i run the ROM it does not do anything....

ok, now its not connecting to activsync....
Is there a trick that im not doing?

renamed a .rar file to an .exe ...new to computing?
You need to unpack/extract the rar file, just like a zip file.
Use winrar, when extracted all the goodies will be revealed!
/Psudo

wow...dont know where my head was
ok, so i have extracted it correctly....my device will still not conntec to active sync...when i plug it in from the bootscreen it changes to USB but activesync cannot find the device....any suggestions

That means this device has already been unlocked (duh).
Contact the HSPL developers, they have a ticketing system on their website if I'm not mistaken. Basically every phone is put into a DB so it can only be unlocked once. After that, you have to beg for mercy to get it unlocked.

you can check if it has already the hard spl> push, volume down+powerbutton+reset , if it says olinex hardspl then its unlocked already.
