Upgrade error --> Devicelock

I tried to upgrade my dutch mda pro to the new qtek 9000 rom after I had upgraded to the new english t-mobile mda pro rom.
He wil start i an calibrate and al that and then you get the customisation and after that reset and he starts again and you must calibrate again enzo....
But after two or three times you get the message DEVICELOCK
you have got this rom illegally
what do I do??? More important how do I get my mda pro working again with t-mobile rom??
And yes I did follow the instructions on upgrading using the bootloader principle.....

Any news on this problem? I haven't tried the update, yet, but would of course hate it to get this error...

Yes, you have downloaded the wrong ROM. with that lock in it.
Try another one.

Which one?

Any other will do. Just try it.
I think this one is the best because it the first and only one that support AKU2 and A2DP:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe

I do not think the roms on xda-developers ftp site are locked.
Maybe the device itself is locked.
Did dadio22 flash with this UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe rom?
This rom is not locked.

I had one rom on the xda ftp server that had this devicelock.

Ehm it has simlock on it still but I used the new qtek rom(UNI_QTEK_WWE_13077_130176_10900_WWE_Ship) that was available on xda but I got it to work changed the provider to t-mobile and updated it again and it works again. But I don't think it works alright have got a few errors which I didn't have with the new t-mobile uk update.
Does anybody know what causes this because if it happens a lot more I think I want that t-mobile rom back. Is that possible because I think it would be a downgrade.....

wel to be honest, its a newproblem , ive never heard about ti before, as far as i know, u should ve had the Country ID error, rom locks and stuff, are to be detected through the uploader utility, but after you install it sucessfully on the system u get such an error, ik durf niet te zeggen dat ik iets over dit problem ooit heb gehoord

help
I have got the same problem. After the install from 02 rom to the qtek i get a message saying that i have illegally acquired the rom and device is locked.

wow! this is the first time i've read about a device that's got locked due to an upgrade. i don't have a qtek (it's from the stingy '3' right?? ) but i've flashed several UK's m5000 and one S'pore's Dopod using every available Rom, including qtek's (just to see the differences) with no probs except countryID error on dopod. which i solved by unlocking it with Buzz's Uni_unlock program to make Super CID unlock (even tho' it is a factory sim and network unlock device but just from another region/country).
As thereis only one latest rom release that i know of (from Orange), i am sure all the roms available here and at buzzdev.net has no device lock. i guess the problem could lie with your bootloader version. if it's not BL 1.00 or 1.01 why not change it to these first bfor flashing other roms.
other than that it must be hardware related which is unlikely as the device is made by htc and only renamed qtek, and for qtek to change or tinker with it could infringe on htc's copyright.

It was only the qtek rom i had trouble with. No need for that now since the new AKU 3 rom came out. Worked Great

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????

Whattup dude! As soon as i can get this rom installed i can post any changes..

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.
later,
DMunkie

WM6 HTC s621

Hi.... somebody have the update to WM6 of the HTC 621???
The rom of Dash doesn´t work in my HTC 621, the DASH is htc 620..
My carrier is TELCEL and they will not have the update.
Somebody can help me?

Telcel is not going to release WM6 on the HTC S621, I have a HTC S621 from telcel runing WM6. The only way to flash the ROM is to Cid unlock your excalibur paying, I used http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ and it worked perfect.
After unlocking your excalibur you can flash the Tmobile WM6 rom or wait until HTC releases their unbranded ROM update this month.

Yup, better to wait I think
Same here, HTC 621 bought unlocked from Telcel (thru Sanborns) with WM5. Can't wait to have WM6 installed.
Damn HTC, what are they doing? isn't the unbranded ROM ready yet?
Regards.

OK general, ommit that. Sorry, my fault.
Take this:
Anyone motivated for developing an unlocker for Excalibur, like that one for the Hermes or Wizard? I prefer to donate to this forum than giving bucks for sth. that should be free.
Any interested?

htc s261
I have the same problem with the telcel branded, I have downloaded the russian htc upgrade and no luck.. what I'm fearing is that even the htc update is unbraded telcel has branded somehow the phones and it won't accept the htc official upgrade... anythoughts??

of course. its been posted over and over in this thread. you need to unlock your phone if it wasn't purchased directly from htc.

Softbank Japan ROM

Hi everyone,
I picked up the Softbank X02HT but it came with the Chinese ROM.
Since I'm using it in Japan, I'd like to switch over to the Japanese ROM.
I wasnt able to find the Softbank Japanese ROM anywhere online... perhaps someone had a suggestion?
Thanks for your help!

also very much interested in that
i am in a similar situation and already posted several requests about switching my Dopod ROM to a Softbank one or at least get all the important functions of the Softbank ROM working on my Dopod 730...but so far no reply.
if you receive any enlightenment please share it with me.
cheers

beefandcorn,
Im in the same boat as I picked it up in HK to use here in Tokyo
kinda ironic how it was setup to use here and now it only partially functions.
I cant seem to find a ROM anywhere for it as well
some of the settings from the X01HT will work.
Im tempted to go to softbank and get them to reflash it back but i have a feeling ill get busted for having an unlocked one.
The keyboard layout is f'd up not all the keys match, I can send SMS but cannot receive, and I cannot access internet via 3G...
What is your experience like so far in Japan for the dopod rom?

Using foreign ROM on Softbank network
Actually, I’m also using the HK ROM on the Softbank branded X02HT in Japan.
SMS and 3G Packet service works okay but it seems the MMS is impossible to get working.
Just to confirm, here are my settings for internet access.
In “Connections”, I have a connection that “Connects To” “The Internet”.
The access point is “softbank”, the username is “[email protected]” and password is “softbank”.
In “Proxy”, I didn’t have anything setup.
This is the paid packet service, where you pay per use.
I think you also need Softbank to have your plan include “packet service”.
It looks like you can also setup the flat rate internet service but I haven’t tried that.
Sorry, I’m not sure about SMS issues.
Is it possible to dump the ROM from a retail Softbank X02HT?
Then, we could flash the official ROM onto the phones and all the problems go away.
Hope it helps…

i agree
yes if somebody could provide a ROM dump of the softbank rom that would help... well also need to figure out HOW to flash it then...
The company I bought my phone from (mail order from the US) offered me to reflash the phone to the Softbank ROM but it is not cheap and I also would need to send it back to the US for that (and pay for the DHL/UPS costs)
So I would prefer doing it myself (if its not such a hassle)

Yea. I got my X02HT in HK, and although everything works fine here on AT&T, I'm having an issue with remembering where some of the symbols are.. since some of them don't match up... any luck finding the Original ROM?
It seems that the original Japanese ROM also has English. and I would assume that this ROM maps the Keys correctly... as opposed to the Dopod ROM installed now...

Please HLP w/ Tmobile WIZA200 in JAPAN...cant get signal
I'm starting to think there is no solution I have unlocked and uploaded and reloaded and re-unlocked, etc but still the same problem...My phone can not access the cellular network. I did a manual search and my phone does not acknowledge the JP Softbank network. I have put different kinds of ROM's and OS upgrades, etc, but still no success. I'm starting to think that these great unlocked PDA's only work in Europe and North America and not in JAPAN.
I have seen several other threads with others having the same problem so I am going to try to ask this question in several different threads.
I have no errors and everything works fine in the process, just like everybody says it does, but still nothing for acquiring a signal. It just either shows an exclamation point or searching dots. I have compared the various carrier options on my phone to other Softbank phones and everything is the same networks except acknowledging the Softbank network.
I'm praying there is some smart person out there who can figure this out...PLEASE...PRETTY PLEASE...

Works on DoCoMo but NOT on Softbank
I also have a Dopod ROM and funny thing is, the phone works like a charm on the DoCoMo Network (Phone and SMS) but when I pop in a Vodafone SIM it cannot even connect to the Softbank network
Very Strange...

we have a thread going on this issue and maybe you can add some input.

I had a Softbank X02HT. Stumbled my way thru a DOPOD "cook (?)" and used it in Australia and Guam on GSM. Came back to Japan, threw in the softbank card...CHANGED THE NETWORK BAND...to Japan and AUTO. Worked perfect on DOPOD ROM. No 3G. I am working that right now.....

Does Anyone Have The MDA Compact IV 1.93 Rom?

I have a UK MDA Compact IV running the official 1.37 rom, I have read through some of the threads posted here that some users were getting back their UK MDA Compact IV's from repair center with the new Tmobile 1.93 roms flashed on there. I was hoping there was a dump of this rom somewhere? Tmobiles UK site doesn't even have the phone listed in the support section! Any help would be appreciated.

it'd be nice to have this as well, as you said, t-mobile lack any kind of support or mentioning of the phone on the site

Strange, in the past 2 weeks ive bought 2 MDAC's (one for me and one for the missus) and both came with 1.37.

T-Mobile UK reply
Just read this thread and there answer that I received from T-Mobile UK about update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443465

= (
Yeah uk t-mobile is so behind the other countries t-mobile

My MDA went in for repair for camera fault and came back with 1.93 (and still had the camera fault) they have now given me a replacement phone with 1.37.
The short while I had 1.93 it seemed much quicker than this so would also be interested in the new one if any one has it?
Also spoke to T-mobile they replied with "Not aware of any update" most helpful.

My wifes T-MO compact IV went in for a screen repair, came back repaired looking brand new (same IMEI), but it had the 1.93 rom and 1.00.25.16 radio ROM on it. Yet my new handset came with 1.37 ROM and 1.00.25.03 radio ROM.

Tmobile official "German update" is avalaible throu download from t-mobile.de
think its the same for your MDA version its 1.97 already, also 1.93 is avail !
So try your t-mobile site -> Buisness center -> support / Downloads -> select you MDA Vendor select "t-Mobile". There you should get Official update, no need of an HardSPL and no warranty lost.
Also when i go to tmobile shop i can get them to update my device cost free here in germany, normaly takes them 3-4 hours then you can get ur device back

Is it possible to change the language of a stock ROM? i.e. Update to the latest German Compact IV ROM then change the language to English?

Nope I guess not. Besides that every language has it's own Manila-version so if you were able to change the system language there would still be the german manila.

i ve tried the german update and even though i have
no idea how to cook a rom and i can imagine that
this is really hard and time consuming work i really
think pupils on the lowest school grade could have
made it much better than tmobile. its that much laggu
that its realy not funny using this rom. but for
suppprt and warrenty i agree it might be usefull
having an original rom

Yeah, we just need one of the lucky few who actually get their phones back with the uk 1.93 rom to dump it for us.

I dont know why T-Mobile UK are dragging their heels. They hardly ever issue new ROMs. Vodafone UK have issued not one but two ROM updates for their Diamond.
After Sales Support at T-Mobile UK = "Get a new phone"
Even T-Mob.cz have a new ROM.
T-Mob UK want to force people to resort to illegal ROM updates.
If any T-Mob UK execs read this forum..... Please wake up and support the people who are bringing in your bread and butter

Cheers. Got it. To be honest I gave up looking for it there as it seemed they were never going to release it. Just thought I'd give it a whirl see how it compares with Shaks rom
