Dopod C720W (unlocked) upgrade to WM6? - HTC Excalibur

Hi all, I have dopod C720W (unlocked) no carrier. How to check whether my phone is CID locked or no? I really want to upgrade my phone to WM6, is there any available ROM for C720W? thx

Same as a Dash or a HTC Excalibur.
Here is the sticky that makes it all possible Read this and you will be able to install any compatible ROM.
Get the Rogers WM6 Rom
here
Rogers Certificate here you will need this

alrite...i'll try it later thx alot for your help

I installed Rogers certificate and started the Rogers WM6 ROM but the installation failed at 3% - my device is not supported but I have a Dopod C720W
Any idea?
The HTC website also provides a ROM which I can not download as my device is recognices as Dopod instead of HTC S620. I´m waiting for an answer of the HTC support team to get this fixed...
This upgrade seems to be really difficult

AFAIK, T-Mobile Dash, Dopod 720w and HTC S620 are the same hardware except for outer casing and keyboard. They can share same software but their distributors have set a check: you are allowed to upgrade only if the CID code of the upgrade matchs the one on the device.
The easier way to CID unlock you device is to pay someone (like http://www.imei-check.co.uk/dashunlock.php) to do it. It's somewhat expensive ($38) but there wasn't any problem with anyone so far. As a bonus, it also SIM unclock your mobile.
When you pda is unlocked, just find (its easy) the T-Mobile upgrade file. (a pretty large exe file) and run it. That's all, 5-25 min later you will have an PDA running WM6... and branded with T-Mobile crap.
I have this device, but I'm waiting for the official HTC S620 upgrade wich should be released between june 15th (official press date - pleeeaaassee) and mid october (as said by technical support).
Hope this helps.
I have a c720w as well, and I am waiting for the HTC s620 rom. It will have less crap than T-Mobile's version and should be better.
Is there no other way to CID Unlock your phone than to pay for it? Will it void my warranty?
does anyone have a link the original WM5 ROM for the dopod c720w?
i have WM6 on it now and i think WM6 is crap, i need to go back to WM5.
You can get the WM5 rom from Dopod's members area..
the dopod site is all in japanese i think...cant find an english version...can you post a link to an english site or better yet a l ink to the ro m?
Go to www.dopodasia.com, or better, go here http://www.dopodasia.com/global/index.html
It lets you choose your country. I am surprised you can't see it.
its askin for a serial number before it lets me download anything. and i have an HTC cavalier not the dopod c730...can anyone post a link for me to download the original 730 windows mobile 5 please....
or post the serial of a 730 dopod

I think you really need to figure out which device you are using seeing as thought you have mentioned both the Dopod c720 and c730 which are two different devices. the c720 is WM5 native and can be upgraded to the T-Mobile Dash WM6 rom after CID unlocking. The Dopod c730 (HTC Cavalier) is a WM6 native device and therefore there is NO WM5 rom for it!

Well, my HTC S630 (Cavalier), for an instance, has WM5 ROM on it. I have pre-production handset. received back in December 2006.
As far as I am aware HTC Cavalier WM6 downloadable firmware files have not been made available for public acess yet. Am I wrong here?
On an unrelated note, seeing as this is a Dopod thread and there aren't many here, does anyone know how to disable xT9 on the c720? No, the alt-space trick works only for the Dash and apps like DashConfig do not disable it.
Has anyone found a way?

It's becuse you have a pre-production device that you have WM5. When Dopod officially anounced this device it was WM6 only.

CID status
Hi,
I just bought a single Dopod c720w in Hong Kong, without any contract. How can I find out if my device is CID locked?
If not, it shouldn't be a big thing to update to WM6 with a T-mobile or HTC rom (if available), or?
Greetings from HK
Chris
I just tried to download the T-mobile upgrade file, to test whether it works with my c720w (still the problem, how do I know if it's CID locked?).
Couldn't get that far, because you need a 10 digit tmo number! Though I have a german t-mobile number, it won't work. Are there any "standard numbers" or so, or any other way to get to the file?

UK Orbit updated to Black&Blue and also Radio Rom Issue

Hi Guys,
I am trying to get BlackBerry working on my XDA Orbit.
I upgraded via the SPL Method and then installed the Version 2 of the Black&Blue.
I then upgraded to the latest GSM Rom 02.93.90
As I could not get BB working I wanted to now install the German o2 Rom as Users reported they got BB working with this.
I again did the SPL Method but now always at 3% the German O2 Rom stops and gives me the Fehler / Error 244
Any hints ?

1) IF you have key unlock CID. Sync PPC to PC and Run key Unlock CID.And Update German 02 Rom.
2) Run USPL v0.1 by Pof and Update Again German Rom.
Cheers..!

Orange SPV 3100 WM6 Upgrade Problem

However, now I wish to upgrade it to official wm6 from Orange or HTC it does not work it say USB not connected...and gets stuck on 4 colour boot screen.
Please any suggestion. HELP!

That is WM5 AKU3 release from April 2007 I think you'll find
My Orange SPV 3100 was locked on orange and I SIM unlocked only with the help of HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a it worked fine and I now I am using O2 on it
However, now I wish to upgrade it to official wm6 from Orange or HTC it does not work it say USB not connected...and gets stuck on 4 colour boot screen.

I forgot to mention I am on WINDOWS VISTA
Vista *could* be a problem.
On the O2 web site there is an official download of WM6 for the Trion. Maybe you should try to get hold of that since you are on O2.
i have also orange spv m3100
few days ago orange here (slovakia) announced there will be NO official orange WM6 update for this pda, so i decided and flashed it with tnt2 wm6 rom
my orange was never flashed before, so i did it in 3 steps, which i suppose you need to do too
1. install bootloader Hard-SPL-V7 (alias olipro 2.10)
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
(you have there also link what to do first when you use vista)
2. install radio (gsm part) - i used latest v1.51 - find the download link on this page somewhere (hermes wiki)
3. install choosed rom - i used TNT2 professional pp4 with htc home
in fact i did it for the first time and had no major problem (only in step 3 the autodetection of bootloader failed and there was no option for v2.10 so i choosed "newer" or so) and after third restart the WM6 booted up ...
Hi there,
I too have an Orange SPV 3100, using it on O2.
I would prefer the O2 XDa Trion Rom but can't access it cos it is not an O2 serial number - (anyone who has the O2 XDA Trion WM6 ROM, please get in touch!)
Anyway, back on topic. Today, I upgraded my MPV3100 from WM5 to WM6 using the HTC ROM available via this site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298520
From this page I selected the following link which is a file share site, I selected the free download option and was downloaded in a minute:
http://rapidshare.com/files/2179382...1.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe.html
This upgrades to the WM6 ROM and gets rid of all the Orange stuff and all their annoying branding, it just leaves it with the HTC logo's when reseting, no more Orange stuff in site!!
I suggest you use this unless you can access the XDA trion ROM.
I had absolutely no problems with the HTC ROM when installing it. Unit is running well, however, I have noticed I cannot access the front camera like others on this site have mentioned after upgrading to WM6 - a small price to pay as I never use it.

yes this is only latest orange update for mn5 not wm6
if you have unlocked previously then i advise you run oli 2.10, ithink thats what its called basicly hard spl
this will let you instal the manufacturers rom
but why on earth would you do that
i suggest you install shamanix grass, based on schaps roms
its super fast and very stable

WM6 -> WM5

Is there a generic HTC flash available to take my S620 back to WM5 ?
cheers
Yes. All the files need are here:
http://rapidshare.com/users/7UE30C
I had an HTC s621 that I unlocked and patched to the T-Mobile WM6 rom prior to the official HTC WM6 ROM being released. I had to blitz the phone back down to the official WM5 HTC ROM before I could do the SPL update and then the official WM6 HTC ROM.
Just create a Guest connection using ActiveSync, and run the update. I had to do a hard reset on the device first before the WM5 ROM would run over the top, don't know why.
thanks for that.
Hi how can you backup the original rom from the S621 ?
I from Brazil and my rom is in protuguese. I caled HTC here in Brazil and they told me tha there is no prevision to relese the WM6 here. so I dicided to flash the WM6 in english But I want keep my rom to flash it again if i need to send it to HTC.
