Excalibur Update SPL (USPL) 1.11

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

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

nice work dude

WM6 for HTC Love

Hello Everybody
I've bought an HTC Love device and I want to flash a wm6 rom very much. but as you can see there is no place in xda-developers specially for htc love.
Some guy told me that I can flash an artemis wm6 rom instead of a love wm6 rom. so i made this thread here.
can any of u guys show me a way to get wm6 on my device?

Try to flash Artemis Touch 4.01 Vanilla, it`s very nice, pure ROM. I think this ROM have best adaptation for LOVE, it`s only one you need to kill: QuickGPS, no GPS module in LOVE. Flashing is very easy: 1st step is flashing USPL unlock and 2nd flashing ROM. I`m owner of LOVE in 11 month, for this time tried many any ROMs Vanilla is best.

Lost in a jungle of HardSPL, Roms and radios.

Hi everybody. I as probally most of u have a Diamond. I've been reading freaqently about Hardspl roms and such since it seems to make your diamond alot faster and better I would like to update/change my rom. As I understand HardSPL is usefull in the way that you can't brick your phone with rom flashing once you have HardSPL flashed. Am I right?
Then there is the choice of hardSPL. I've been looking at OliNex's unsigned 1.40 and OliNex signed 1.38. It seems signed is safer but Unsigned is more open, since you can flash any rom at all. I'm not real sure which one to get since I don't really know what rom seems most suitable for me.
I'm looking for a fast rom, ofcourse, most preferbly a swedish rom but I can survive with english as long as it's possible to get swedish (full and compact) QWERTY. Any suggestions on what rom I should use?
Then Radio I have kind of no idea what that is, can someone explain that real quick?
I guess i'm not the first of making this kindof thread, but please help a guy out. Thanks alot for all hard work so many of you put in to make the diamond more usefull!

Also it would be nice to be able to restore the diamond back to it's original spl and rom for warranty reasons. I have the vers and all written up. I've been looking at swifts rom, and duttys. Are those to recommend and what kind of HardSPL would I have to use to get either of them?

Thanks for taking the time to educate, just hard for a beginner to go the right way, also to find the right rom, when looking there is no way of defining the right rom, or?
Cheers

ROMs are like cars, you get lots of different types/speeds/looks etc.
most of the time, a ROM is either fast or pretty. You usually sacrifice one for another.
Dutty has some quick and standard looking ROMs, as does SwiftBL.
Just try one, if you dont like it flash another!

Just found this link to origenal Rom's, can i put the WWE on mine?

sorry but that isn't right!
If he will flash an OFFICAIL HTC Rom he doesn't have to hardspl his device.
@Mina08: just try to load the official WWE version of HTC an start the installer... don't forget to backup your files on device. all of them will be deleted by flashing

ok will do, and i will let you know how it goes, again thanks to all for your advice.....
cheers

ooooops, do i need to CID Unlock? before flashing for the first time

If your phone is a Original HTC Diamond, you do not need Hard SPL. If it is Vendor or Area locked, you need to do a Hard SPL.
Hard SPL is the CID.

thanks again, i am sure this going to help a lot of people out, as it seems to be common that they want to change language

o'dear, got this message on the status screen
ERROR (294): Invalid Vendor ID

does that mean i have to do a hard spl

yup as i said
yay i was right lol

ok here we go again......if it works Mugglesquop i will buy you a pint

WM 5.0 for Hermes?

I searched all forums but I cant find WM 5.0 for Hermes?
I have MDA Vario 2 now, and do not need anything spectacular than WM 5.0, only important thing is ENGLISH version
One more question-is flashing same as for WM 6.0?If it is, how about putting official ROM WWE 838Pro HK?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316726
Is this only procedure, as I see? Just to confirm, more than 50 flashed devices but Hermes for the first time ;-)
1. Download and do Hard SPL V7
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
2. Download and flash ROM
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=26
Tnx, Danke, Grazie, Hvala!

well there is no wm5 for hermes.. in my knowledge cause hermes was shipped with wm6 by default...
Yes all te procedures are correct..
BTW BEFORE!!!! you flash a new rom please please please flash the stripped Att original radio rom wm6 ok? ciao
PD you can found the stripped rom on every thread about rom development...
Good luck!.

Thanks man, now I see it is WM 6
I did not understand this- do you suggests me to put AT&T ROM or to find only radio ROM and flash??
Is it possible to have problems with Hermes after upgrading only thi WWE ROM?
Same procedure for flashing or??? Cos' i found hundred of threds on this theme...

nonono
if you flash that WM6 ithink is fine cause it seems to be original...
but if you want to flash a custom.. i mean a cooked rom
you must to flash before the att stripped.
yes is the same procedure.

OK
I need only stable ROM, just to work fine on this PDA, not cooked...yet ;-)
Tnx man!

no problem man!
good luck
this thread can be erased cause even it must be on upgrading forum... was solved
Any mod please.

OK, if its possible to move or erase in total, no needed any more. My mistake during posting, i was reading WM 6 and put it occasionaly

Actually, most Hermes CAME with WM05... It was just that after WM06 came out the carriers upgraded them to that. If you look hard enough you MIGHT find WM05 but it wasn't as stable as WM06 so wasn't maintained. I know I got rid of my old WM05 roms... If you want an old WM05, look for Jasjammin's Black Magic... Was a brilliant rom in its time...
Cheers....

Nice to know that man Thanks!

Actually, I still have a copy of at&t's wm5!
