HTC ROM on Tmobile Dash

I plan to switch to HTC ROM after I unlock my phone thru imei.. folks.
I plan to use the following files HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship for the ROM and RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly for the bootloader.
Is this the latest/greatest ROM from HTC ?
Is it possible to switch back to the Tmobile ROM incase I need to ? Any special instructions for how to go about doing that ?
Thanks, . Appreciate all the help ..

U actually dont need to imei unlock ur phone, u can actually just use the excalibur update spl from jocky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605 . After u do all of that stuff u can load any rom that compatible with the Dash/S620/S621. I have used this method and flashed my phone with the HTC ROM, and the Rogers radio and it is way faster than the t-mobile rom, and more reliable. The only thing is that you need to manually install office mobile if u want it on ur phone. U can switch back to the t-mobile rom if u dont like it the same way u switched to the htc rom. One thing to remember about the HTC rom, is that u need to manually configure ur MMS settings, here a link for that http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/mms?ispId=&mmsId=&wapId=&contractId=235&countryId=37&networkId=90&bearerId=5&phoneId=1426&manufacturerId=41&mobileNumber=&incomingServerId=. You also need to configure ur edge settings too, but u can do that with the same link i provided. Good luck, and im sure ull definitely like the HTC rom way better than the t-mobile rom

Unfortunately, the HTC rom is not as efficient as the T-Mobile one because it actually has multiple language packs. That's what I noticed. Right now, I am trying to find a way to rebuild ROM packages using BuildOS.exe and CreateOS.exe but no luck.

Thanks for the good info..
I have already got my phone unlocked thru imei_check.co.uk folks.
Do I still need to run the boot uploader or I can directly proceed to update the HTC ROM ? (HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship ) ?
If I understand correctly, since i want to keep the option of reverting back to Tmobile ROM (for warranty reasons, in case I need it !), I need to use the boot loader you mentioned.. Please correct me if I am wrong
Thanks

I was succesfull in installing the above ROM, now when I go to Settings -> About .. I see the following "Windows Mobile 5.0 with Messaging and Security Feature Pack.."
Should'nt this say as Windows Mobile 6.0 ???
What am I missing here !!
Thanks

My mistake, I installed the 1.11.405 ROM which i think is wm5.
My copy of wm6 ROM 1.27.405.XXX is corrupt. Not sure from where I installed, if anyone is aware of some download area, appreciate if you could let me know .. Thanks

Ive got one problem with the HTC rom...
does anyone happen to know how to change the keypad to be US english? ive got the locale and language set to english (America) but if i go to use the (@) sign, ill get the english pound sign...or what ever its called.
also, i cant seem to access the windows folder from my pc any one know what i need to do to get it?

Use the search function to locate a file called eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap
You may think to tinker this file. I installed the HTC ROM and observed that the '@" was being replaced by the pound currency symbol.
I eventually switched to Rogers ROM (downloaded from Rogers website) and all is fine now.
Thanks !

Search the forum for this info, it's been asked an answered previously.

Origignal German Tmobile rom for ameo needed or way to backup it.

Hey guys you really need to help me on this.
I wanted to update my athena to wm6. Unfortunatly i didnt run the unlocker before and now i can´t even do a hard resest.
But i can go in booloader mode. People adviced me run the unlocker but the athena isent recogniced by the unlocker. So i cant do this either. Except you can say to me what went wrong?
So i think the only thing to rescue my ameo is to get the original tmobile german rom so that i dont get the wrong vender id error.
If somebody of you can supply me with that it would be awesome. If not is there a way to make an installer or backup of the german rom. Because i have a friend who has a working ameo. But he is no geek. So the complex cant be to complex.
Plz help me my ameo is not running for days and i want to use it again.

Yes you can. Make sure you unlock the CID first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242

It is based on Windows mobile 6, and has all extra toys to play with.
Read the post, see if you like it (its best one IMO)
Download it, do step one first (This is CID unlocking), then step two (flash the device).
I think you can backup your device now but it depends on what you want to backup.
If you mean backup your contacts, SMS messages, photos ect then sure you can. Copy them with activesync or search google, there are many programs out there.
If you mean backup your device entirely (As in ROM) im pretty sure you can but its not needed. You will find on this site both the offical ROM that your phone came with WM5 so you can go back to that, or the offical ROm for WM6 so you can go back to that.
All custome ROMS are SIM unlocked so you will be able to use your orange sim card.
Hope this helped.

who has the dutch windows mobile 5?

Hello,
My brother messed up his P3300 by putting on a WM6 cooked rom before CID-unlocking.
Now we have a tricolor screen, and nothing else. Not even the original rom of WM5. Does anybody have it? or know how to get it?
Country is the Netherlands
IPL is 3.13.0001
SPL is 3.13.0000
thanks.
bye bye

I do have the original dutch version of WM6 from HTC, but I suppose you can download that yourself om www.htc.com. I guess this should also work?

Hi, thanks for your replay.
Well, i need the original wm5 first, because it doesn't recognise the wm6 original one from the htc-site. Tried that to. But come to think of it, it was an upgrade.
Right now, there's nothing on the device. Only the tricolour screen
thought i try the wm5 first to see if it works.

Hi i got the backup files from the originele Dutch T-Mobile rom WM5. the only thing you need to do is put it together again. you can use htcrt for it.
Hopefully is works for you!

PS ... the backup was also found on this forum.
PPS: try to flash it from SDcard

My Orange SPV M650 is also bricked, has somebody the org. WM5 Orange ROM, thanks in advance.

I do have a dutch WM6 T-mobile ROM and a dutch WM6 HTC rom. One of them may be possible to flash.....
Apart from that. How far did you come? What happens when you push the power button? Do you get to the bootloader?
When I see your IPL/SPL I think you forgot to use USPL before flashing another ROM. You can try to use that now and flash the ROM of your choice.....

Well, I took the rom for WM6 of the HTC site. Like a good girl
It went well until i got to the 3% and it stopped the whole proces. It just shut down. If I push the powerbutton you can see the tri colour screen and the rest is in my very first post. My brother did indeed forgot to use USPL. I know. so then he came to me. Afterwards. Smarty-pants. Now we have a bricked device.
This is what i already tried:
- I tried SD-flashing. Nothing happened. (followed the instructions on the wiki-xda-site)
- i tried to put on the wm6 version of the htc site...got the 3% bit, and that's it.
- i tried to put an alternate rom on it, from the uk-idunnowhich-provider...nothing happened. also tried it with a german provider and with the dutch t-mobile provider, also 3% and than nothing (i.e. tri-colour screen)
so now, all i can think of, is to go back to basics...and just start of with the original wm5 rom. Than use USPL and THAN upgrade it. *sigh*
So that's the whole story behind it.

URGENT: Restore Artemis to original state; Do I have to SID-Lock it?? UPS is coming!

Hi all,,
My Artemis is slowly but surely dying on me, BT stopped, WiFi stopped working, GPS is freezing my device. So I want to restore it to its original state in order to send it back for repairing or replacement.
I still have the original WM6 ROM that Im going to but back on it but one question remains; Do I have to SID lock it or something else in order to prevent the guys at HTC from discovering that I had a custom ROM running?
Please reply asap because UPS is coming to get it later this afternoon (its noon here atm).
Thanks for all replies!!

If you flash back to the original ROM i think you have the SID Lock....but im not sure... sorry

steps are as follow:
back up ur data
hard reset/clear strorage
remove ur sd card
run the uspl tool (pof's tool)
flash ur wm6
now u can hand it to ups and get it repaired! best wishes man

I see you're living in the Netherlands, a company in Belgium called Eurotwice is also specialised in repairing HTC devices
enter your IMEI code on the website and you will see if they are able to offer you their service.
they picked up mine device twice running a custom rom, it wont bother them, they fixed my Artemis perfectly

Thank you guys.
Its on its way for repairment!
