New ROM version 1.11.405.4 (ENG) for HTC Excalibur

A new test ROM for the HTC Excalibur is available on xda-developers!
Rom Version: 1.11.405.4 (English)
Radio Version: 4.1.13.28_02.63.90
Bootloader: 1.11.0000 (Sep 12 2006 at 13:08:40)
You can find the ROM on XDA-Developers FTP:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Test.exe
For the curious out there, the ROM is shipped in NBH format so you can extract it if you want to look at the ROM components, the bootloader (SPL.nb 512K size!) has a lot of debugging information enabled as this is a Test release ROM.

EDIT: For those people having problem in updating to new Excalibur ROM due to Invalid Model ID error, that is due to bootloader version on Dash. You need to flash this bootloader first and then flash the Excalibur ROM. Also, this bootloader CAN be used for flashing new ROMs on pre-production Excalibur devices.
RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe contains bootloader version 1.11.0000 (Sep 26 2006 at 20:19:20).​
PS: I don't own an Excalibur and I can't test it so I don't know what's on this ROM, if you try it please post details about it.
Enjoy!

and if test fails? Any way to go back? The Original rom?
Pof, sorry, I would like to test but... I can't suggest. If someone can upload the HTC original ROM I will test the TEST rom

My ExCaliber is running a earlier, but, very stable ROM.
Radio Version 4.1.13.21_02.42.90
Be great to try something new ... I'll let you know how it works out and when I get the ExCaliber commercial ROM I'll throw it up here for you.

weird.... my phone is running a newer ROM, but older radio. T-Mobile DASH
ROM: 1.11.531.1
RADIO: 4.1.13.24_02.48.90

I installed it on my S620. Nothing new or special that I can find :/

Hey guys,
I just got my HTC S620 from Expansys TODAY, and you'll be surprised to hear that it is running the ROM posted in the first post of this message:
ROM: 1.11.405.4
Radio: 4.1.13.28_02.63.90
The phone is very stable and fast, with no issues at all. Very pleased with the OS (previous Windows phone was a slow Tmobile Vario). Plus the form-factor is superb....
I'll let you know if I run into any bugs. So far though (1/2 day of use), no issues....
What is this new ROM supposed to fix anyway?

If I install the ROM, will it complete wipe my device settings, data, etc.?

yes, it will hard reset

How good is this ROM? Is just the basic S620 SW with some engineer plugins? How easy is it to upgrade the ROM? Ive never tinkered with upgrading on windows mobile phones.

ok.. anyone with radio: 2.4x.xx is encouraged to upgrade to new radio 2.6x.xx
2.6x.xx has sensational battery life.

Is it possible to upgrade Radio only? Can anyone extract radio from this ROM?

Hmmm, I have radio 4.1.13.24_02.48.90

Is it possible to only upgrade the radio? My ROM version is newer (HTC T-Mobile Dash).
In the positive, can you please outline how to do it?
Thank you in advance. I am in above my head ;-) but would love the "sensatioinal battery life".

back-up then?

ERROR[224] : INVALID MODEL ID
Unlocked T-Mobile Dash.

I believe, since this ROM is from HTC, you are going to have to CID unlock your Dash in order for it to accept this ROM since it was designed specifically for the S620. Haven't seen that anyone has figured out a CID unlocking utility yet.
A

You can getit CID unlocked at imei check. It worked for my dash.

Wouldnt there be a keyboard difference? or will the keypad be the same with the unbranded ROM?

I have a SIM unlocked and CID unlocked Tmobile Dash. i went through imei.co.uk to unlock it. everything went fine with the unlocking process. I'm currently using the dash on cingular. I also get the ERROR[224] : INVALID MODEL ID when trying yo update to the testing rom.

I too went through IMEI.COM.UK to unlock my phone, it also stated that it would also CID unlock my phone as well.
As drunknmunkie did, I too moved my Dash to Cingular and I'm having the same ROM 'upgrade' issue as he has stated.

Latest official WM6 for Trinity/Dopod ANZ

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G62Q12E7
No worry about getting stuck at 28%, it has no SPL.
BEFORE UPGRADING BE SURE you've got HardSPL on YOUR TRINITY

Bobbb,
can you provide some specifics about this ROM please.
e.g. version, release date etc
cheers

hmm, the ROM is dated August 4th and larger than the last official build. Bobbb where did this come from? which radio comes with it?
I'm not brave enough to try it.

Latest official ROM Australian New Zealand
Guys, I can assure you that it's the latest official version downloaded for Dopod's Australian site.
ROM version: 3.00.707.18
ROM date: 07/24/07
Radio version: 1.46.30.11
Protokol version: 32.79.7020.19H
By the way, this ROM upgrade is bringing no trouble in comparison to Cooked versions that I have already tried al of them.
HSPDA enabled, VoiP on, Video Call on, everything is running smoothly.
But, be sure that before proceeding with upgrade you, it's present latest HARD SPL -Des, etc. on you PPC.

Im using this rom too and it is indeed the official version, and works well! only thing i missing from WM5 is the Voice Call, where can i get that? Im using Jabra BT a lot and want the voice call or was it Voice dial?

Simply, all of you can add/remove your favorite cabs to this ROM upgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308931
Just look at this forum, there are various cabs and what you are looking for is present there..

Hello,
i have the modified Dopod-ROM from crab http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=115290 installed.
Now i can not install the sdkcerts.cab.
The installation aborts with install unsuccessfull. No other error.
Have other People with original Dopod Rom the same problem?
Can somebody post me an export of HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies from a device that can install the sdkcerts?
thanks

Thank Bobbb! here i for sure find every thing i want! perfect!

Tested, Skype is working with the latest official ROM
and many other propgrames.

does this ROM have the Device ID change bug fix (i.e. the TomTom problem)?

hi, I can't download the rom from the link you provided (maybe there is too much traffic). Can you upload on some other locations? Thank you!

does it work for italian trinity and italian operator?
Thnaks
and what does mean ANZ

This is WWE WM6 ROM and can be updgraded to all Trinities no matter of which operator you are subscribed.
I've already uploaded on Demonoid's site.
If you have access to this torrents provider you can find it at:
http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1313580/3327935/ and download it
Yesterday, I made many attempts to uploaded on live-share, but it failed.

I'd stick to v1.20, found here. Some have been having problems with v1.30 with radio flashing and some other things. Or just try with v1.30 first. Up to you.

Could I update my Dopod 838 Pro with any shipped Rom?

I have a new Dopod 838 pro. Right now, I wonder that could I update my PDA to WM6 with any shipped rom, for example: ATT rom, or the newest shipped rom...?
Please guide me to do that. Thank a lot.

yes

1) Flash HardSPL
2) find the rom you want from the wiki
3) flash
If you return your phone with hardSPL on it your warranty will be voided, but you can downgrade to normal SPL.]
Links/ect are in the FAQ.

Back in the day when I got my Hermes I was like you. Then found this cool site maintained by Mr. Vanx: http://www.mrvanx.org/
In there you can read every single step needed to update your Hermes without destroying it in the process.
PD: Just a suggestion, try to update it to WM 6.1, it has a few minor but important updates, mainly threaded SMS and Office 2007.

Not all WM6.1 has these things. You need to read whats in the rom . The chefs are very good at keeping you informed of whats in their work.
Make sure you Hard SPL your phone 1st as you may well end up with a brick otherwise - I'm not saying you won't anyway but at least you have a chance of recovery.
Cheers...

I hope you found the answer at last and I wish you a good time flashing and playing with your device.

The big question, why would you want to do that? There is a perfectly good WM6 DOPOD 838 pro ROM in the wiki? Or in my 4shared?
Edit: The ATT ROm does not have a video dialer as you know the 8525 does not have a front camera.

I need a little help...

Hi guys, i will be needing some assistance to understand what is happening with my jasjar.
I download a tomal´s rom (tml wm65_90_23004_64mb)), followed the steps and got stucked on bootloader. I then used Uni exit bootloader. It worked, but now my jasjar only works if I don´t put any sim-card. Cause if I put one, it gets stuck again
Any ideas? i noticed in the device info that extrom is not there.
Fenix7

Reflash without sim inserted and battery at 100%
Hope it helps,

Something is not right here. Like i tried to reflash it again, and same happens it works without the simcard but not with him
its very odd actually... like i managed to do it like once with simcard on but after that its the same... it got stuck again

And what happens if you try with another sim?
or testing your sim into another device

Hi Rajiv, thanks for answering. Well my simcards work properly as i have tested them in other devices.
I flashed the Universal with an original wm5 rom now and it works well. So any ideas on what happened?
I flashed with Tomal wm65 rom and it only works without any simcard, otherwise it gets stucked in that first imate image. If i remove the simcard it works fine. (The rom is very cool by the way).
So what is the problem here? maybe my jasjar isn´t CID unlocled? or HSPL?

Until that point on the image you showed youre going ok, then clicking on update...what happens?

Well it starts the update normally, everything goes well. But its the same as before, it will only work properly without a simcard on

Hi,
You need to upgrade your Radio ROM.
The one you have probably is not not compatible with WM6 and thats why your device hangs after installing WM6 with a SIM inserted.
The SIM upgrade is not included in the firmware upgrades you will find here. Look at the wiki for separate SIM upgrade files.
Cheers,
vma

Problem solved :=) thanks everyone! I updated the radio rom to version 1.18 and it worked ehehe

Now another little problem
After installing tomal's 6.5 rom and updating the radio rom to 1.18, now i can´t instal programs like opera mini. Any ideas why? or the solution?
Thanks in advance

Mmm. that´s strange
I have the same ROM and radio and I can install any app I want
Have you tried a hard reset?

Opera Mini is a Java application. You need to install a Java Virtual Machine to be able to install and run Opera Mini.
Cheers,

TELUS Desire Froyo OTA Update - Please Post!

so they wont allow users who opt out of a data plan and or dont have wifi to update?

RUUs are leaked and shouldn't normally be open to the public. If they were they'd be on HTCs website (like with their WinMo RUUs)

Guess you cant always trust a telus rep, they told me that the update would be downbloadable from a pc if i didnt have internet access for my desire. (ive been prodding tech support for 2 weeks now trying to get info on when the update is)

I don't see the point in posting the ROM. What would be needed in it that we don't already have or use? Plus if I wanted to do the update that would mean downgrading back to 2.1 and then upgrading.

He said he is interested in some config files, no idea what for. Can you even post just a rom from your phone? Wouldn't you need to extract it from the RUU?
The RUU would be nice though, I'd like to know what radio Telus think we should be running. Obviously it would also be good to flash the phone in a way that masks the modifications made if we need to return it.

Got bored, poked around. I have a feeling telus will offer the RUU on HTC.com just like other desire providers.

Well it looks like they pulled the update for now....

no. they pulled it at around 11am this morning. if you go back to the site, it is back to saying "will be updated in October"

My Desire is on Rogers, will it still be possible to get the OTA update ?

Yes
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

HTC Desire - Froyo 2.2 on Telus is here !!
I just downloaded it OTA.
It is installing as I type this.
Oh, this is so exciting !
Yossi

I got mine downloaded and installed yesterday. All is running smooth

I am on Fido and I got an update notification on my HTC Desire (I had 3G on, and Wifi off). I'm downloading the update (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_TELUS_WWE_2.25.661.2-1.29.661.1_R_release_Pf7sjzjrgcmpsve12.zip) as I'm typing this...it's a 90.5MB download...so I switched to Wifi before proceeding with download.
I'll update later how it goes.
