Hi guys,
I've just implemented an Excalibur USPL which allows you to flash any Excalibur ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any *official* ROM even if your phone's model and vendor ID doesn't match. It's confirmed that you can also flash cooked ROMs
This SPL is based on original Excalibur 1.11 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Excalibur after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.
The USPL runs in RAM and is *not* flashed to your device, so there is no risk there. Once it runs you can run any official Excalibur ROM update utility.
The USPL does *not* permanently CID unlock your phone, like the CID unlocker from imei-check or so.
After you flashed a ROM your phone is again CID locked. Each time you wonna flash a ROM with a different model and/or vendor ID (different from your phone) or a cooked ROM, you must run the USPL again and then flash the ROM.
It's beta and untested and the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
The main reason for implementing this USPL is to support the poor guys who bricked their wifi. See this thread.
But those who want to flash a device where wifi works don't need to be afraid that wifi fails after the upgrade.
EDIT:
You can now also flash the USPL allowing you to flash any unsigned (cooked ROM or ROM module, e.g. radio or OS) or signed ROM with any model/vendor ID. The USPL substitutes your SPL until you perform a full ROM update. Consider it as an extra insurance in case something goes wrong with flashing cooked ROMs or any other ROM update !
Instructions:
1. Run the USPL (Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)
2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Excalibur-USPL-RUU.zip)
Have fun,
JockyW
The attachments:
Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS.zip : instructions included
SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip : application unlocker if u need it
mtty1.42.zip : terminal emulator (not neccessary if u only do ROM updates)
Excalibur-USPL-RUU.zip: flash version of USPL
Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS- JumpSPL.zip: version based on pof's JumpSPL instead of haret
SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab: alternative application unlocker (use this if SDA_ApplicationUnlock does not work)
Credits: in particular to pof. This USPL and also the one for Vox is based on his USPL for the Elf. See here
Good job jockyw2001 ...
Let's see if the poor guys can turn the wifi back on again.
Good!!!!

Phil, to avoid misunderstandings: after running the USPL your device is not permanently CID unlocked !! It is only unlocked when you run it. After you flash a ROM it is CID locked as before. So each time you wonna flash a ROM you must run USPL first.

agreed. thanks a lot for your hard work, i appreciate it.
i'll integrate your CID Bypass in my Windows Mobile 6 guide. i hope it's ok with you - that way people won't have to pay 40 $.
the only beef i have with you is the fact that i wish you had done this 2-3 weeks earlier - that way i wouldn't have had to dish out 40 $ for my cid unlock. haha jokes
You're truly a hero based on the desperate need for a free cid bypass.
Better late then never - Thanks once again for your contribution to the forum..
Well, I haven't got yet my SPV E600 (S620 from Orange), since it's on the mail, but I'd like to thank you for this great tool.
Keep the good work
hey bro, but can we try the flashing-method to unlock our phones?? I have one here, im goin to try now!!
Guys,
It's still far too early to celebrate a triumph...
The only one in this thread who tested was phlipse and I'm not so sure if he actually flashed a ROM. And in the other thread there are two guys who also report results which are not correct.
At least it is unlikely that you can damage your device with running the USPL.

If you mean SIM unlock your phone, then no it won't help you with that.
i'm going to give it a try as soon as the ROM finishes downloading. i'll update the post with my results. i have a tmo wm6 rom on there now and my phone is cid locked. at least im assuming so since i get the invalid vendor id when i tried to install the generic rom last time.
EDIT:
So far so good! Looks like I am up and running on the generic ROM. Thanks Jocky!!!
I just got confirmed in the other thread that the USPL works fine for flashing *any* official Excalibur ROM. It's not yet sufficiently patched to flash cooked ROMs.
Excuse my ignorance but I want to know if this procedure serves to me and as I execute it, I I have one htc s621 with WM5 ESP and actualize with
HTC_S620_SPA_1.27.412.1_ 4.1.13.44 _02.94.90_Ship after doing it I fail wifi, this that they indicate now will recover wifi.
greetings

I am using the french version of HTC 3600. I will foloww LVSW procedure for updating but what if it goes wrong !!
Can I simply re-apply the official HTC rom from the HTC web site? WIll that work ?
Thanks for helping

If you only flash OS, no problem. If you have hard-spl installed your device will be almost unbrickable.
With a new Hard Spl, I can restore an old ROM?

So many questions
With a new Hard Spl, I can restore an old ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can usually restore an old ROM even without Hard-SPL. It makes it a little easier because you can flash even ROMs that are not intended for your device (for example HTC Rom to Vodafone Compact GPS).
can you explain me what hard-spl is ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure. It is a replacement bootloader made by DES and later by Olipro. You'll find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1239088
LVSW offers it as a download as well, I don't know why he didn't include it in the update itself (nbh).
My question here is, will original ROM restore the splashscreen and initial bootscreen that was changed by LVSW?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, original ROM updates are what I call full updates: Bootloader, Splashscreens, OS, Radio. However they will only overwrite Olipro's Hard-SPL if you use Soft-SPL (sspl) for flashing. Keep that in mind if you want to send your device in for warranty repairs...
Enough noob questions answered For details use search, its not hard.
OK OK one more thing...
If I flash from mun_rus rom back to WM05 and take device for warranty... thay will not accept it?
If you flash it properly (load SSPL first, then run official update) they will have no way of telling the difference.
Obviously this only works if you have access to the official full update.

If your phone is the S300+ (SFR version of Trinity) it's gonna be hard. No SFR ROM is available yet. So you can find the OS part over here and you can save your extended ROM, but it seems to be hard to restore exactly as the same.
I`m just asking out of couriosity...
Flashed to muns SE rom works like a charm...
Hi Guys,
I have an MDA Vario II on T-Mobile UK. I Understand (I think) the reasons that you guys use HardSPL and Super CID etc but I have a simple query.
I have downloaded the HTC WWE Rom from the links here on this site. Do I have to bother with the normal runaround (HardSPL / Super CID) as this is an "official" update for the hermes ?
I do not intend to use my Hermes with A.n.other provider just T-Mobile. Will I have to do anything special ?
Before you flame me (Somebody will be tempted I am sure) I have read and re-read the forums here, but they all seem to point that the steps like Hardspl and SuperCID are necessary only if applying cooked roms !?!
yes no matter what just cid unlock and get hard spl v7 so you cant brick your hermes
dont be a N00B,

Thanks for the prompt response, I am still confused though. I assumed I didn't have to worry about bricking if I was using the official HTC Rom?
Also I read that HardSPL7 would meant the HTC Rom didn't work and I would have to go with a cooked ROM, in which case I might as well just go Schapps or something. I would like to just go with the basic WM6 ROM HTC provide and tweak it with software. No offence to any of the chefs here of course, but I don't think I need anything fancy.
nuthing will work aprt from the stocck t-mobile rom so you hav to cid and hard spl i got vario 2 aswell and it will not brick if you do these things
than you can flash any rom
Ok Cool. Thanks for the advice. I will let you know how it turns out.
gimme your msn and ill go through it with you

You don't need to do a CID unlock if you apply Hard SPL V7. Hard SPL will make your device think that is SuperCID. You need only SIM unlock if you're going to use other than T-Mobile network.

i saw ebay selling unlock softbank x02ht,unlocked X02HT. There must be unlocking solution now.
maybe softbank doesn't lock their phones. My dopod c730 is from csl 1010 and is unlocked.
no, its locked
anyone knows?
There are many shops selling UNLOCKED X02HT in Hong Kong now.
There must be some method to unlock it.
I am also looking for unlocking solutions

Hey pal! same here, I am looking for unlocking solution for X02Ht but no luck.
I will try to update you guys once I see one..
Does unlocked X02HT sold in HKG have Japanese OS? Or Chinese OS? I would like to know it is real unlocked or overwritten ROM...
We can try if my excalibur *SIM* unlock works for cavalier. Please produce and post files according to the method described here.
Only one is enough.
If you guys want *CID* unlock, then maybe I can produce a USPL just as for Excalibur and Vox. In that case I also need a link to a Cavalier RUU.

jocky...u r really a kindness guy....hope someone can offer the necessary file and make the cavalier unlock able....thanks in advance

Have you come up with the CID unlock for the Dopod C730(HTC Cavalier)? I have a Dopod C730 and for some reason the WIFI seemed to be disabled and can't be turned on at all. I want to put the WWE ROM to see if it's the ROM or the hardware that's crippling the WIFI, but the WWE RUU gives me the wrong vendor error.
The RUU can be found here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Smartphone/Cavalier/
The most recent ROM is 1.16.708.7. I want to install 1.16.707.7.
I will gladly donate for your troubles and I hope you can come up with the solution soon enough.

Hi all..!
Diamond Project team worked on SSPL,Hard-SPL for Diamond device.And now we're release it 4 free

This tool will allow you to change the ROM language, flash cooked ROMs, custom splash screens, etc...
INSTRUCTIONS :
Connect Diamond to computer using USB cable
Make sure ActiveSync icon is GREEN
Extract sspl-diamond-1.23.zip and run SSPL.bat
Your device will go to bootloader.Device screen should be now TRI-COLOR and show "1.23.Jump" and "USB"
Unplug and Re-Plug the USB cable
Phone screen should still be tri-color and still show "USB" ,the activesync icon gray
if not, the loading process has failed and you'll have to repeat it again.
If all was OK then u extract Diamond-Flash-Splash.zip and click to ROMUpdateUtility.exe it will update for u Splash screen htc.After that if all fine.That sure u have sspl version working.
Go to sspl-diamond-1.23 again.Run it to get SPL 1.23.Jump and now extract Diamond-HardSPL-1.23.zip and just install Hard-SPL with same

HardSPL also comes with the software unlocker hspl v1.23 or 1.24. so if you have done the software unlock, that means you have already upgraded to the best hardspl. if not go for the unlocker, very easy to use and comes with complete instructions.
problem you are getting might be due to bootloader or usb problem
hehe oops yup i meant the diamond ;-)
cheers guys ill give 1.24 a go and let you know!

just tried running v1.24 from the above link given by liamhere and is still just sitting at 0% when running update.
which part is the unlocker? Sorry just a newb to the HTC ROM updating
1.24 didn't work on my orange (stuck on 0%). 1.40 worked fine.
If I remember correctly connect diamond to PC adn then double click on diamond_sspl and follow the instructions, then run the RUU in the 1.24 folder by double clicking on it.
AGxN you diamond! that sorted it! Next question
which ROM is best going for?
