Hi, i just got a new htc diamond, i have flashed it to the hard-spl, ver 1.38. i am trying to get rid of my carrier customization on the phone because it is a pain in the ass. i tried to enter booloader and all it does is come up with the tri color screen saying serial at the bottom and nothing else happens. am i getting into bootloader correctly? and does anyone know if there is a rom that will keep all original factory settings (ie all progs that come with the phone) but just remove carrier customizations?
any help would be appreciated.

Anyone know of a way to debrand the Tmobile Dash to get all of thier splash screens off of it?
Flash with the ROM posted in this thread. There are pluses and minuses to both. I like the S620 ROM myself. The only thing I miss is the ability to hold a key down to get the corosponding symbol. I don't miss the T-mobile garbage
how well does the rom work. is that the only issue is that you cant hold the keys down to get the other characters??
As long as you are WM literate enough to change the mms/gprs settings to work with your provider. Everything works great
are you refering to the post with this rom?
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Test.exe
making sure I am on the right track.
i would like to know how to do this also without turning my unlocked cingular dash into a brick.

Just follow the direction to the tea. Other than that there are never any promises. But more people successfully flash their ROM then don't

before i get started, what do i need to change speficially to work it with cingular?
is there a way to revert back if it doesnt go well?
I've done this myself with my Dash as I have changed from T-mobile to Cingular.
Make sure that you are CID unlocked. Do not confuse SIM unlocking with CID unlocking. If you need help determining if you are CID unlocked I've got one question, did you pay to get CID unlocked? If yes then you know what you are doing but if no then you are not CID unlocked and it will not flash. Getting a SIM unlock code from T-mobile allows you to use other carriers but you still cannot flash the phone with just a SIM unlock.
Flashing the phone is simple, plug it in, let active sync run and then double click the Rom file you've downloaded and follow the instructions. In a few minutes your phone will restart and all of the T-mobile stuff is gone and you are off to a fresh start.
As for settings, you will need to change GPRS and MMS settings like others said. The info you need can be obtained from hofo or cingular's website, it's pretty straight forward.

how do i go about CID Unlocking it?
I have an o2 cosmo in german. I know it is unlocked because I can use my cingular sim card. If I try to flash a new ROM without knowing if it is CID unlocked, would it brick my phone? or would it just not let me do it?. I have changed ROM's before on different HTC's phones but it seems like there is not a lot of reseach on the excalibur.
I have a M5000 (ORANGE).Before unlocking, i could switch it on and off anytime and off and on anytime without waiting for an hour or 4 hours.
After Unlock, I can try to switch on the device without success. I tried everything. If i connect charger, it shows Red light only. If i remove the Battery and try after a while (30 min,sometime after two hours), it can come ON and I can use it normally.
I upgraded Boot but no Change, I Full upgraded with the latest upgrade but no chance,I load QTEK still no Chance.Battery works nice on another SPV.
What can i do???
Thanks

I think the Orange SPV M5000 comes unlocked. When I bought mine it was already unlocked and I could use the SIM of any country.
Try doing a hard reset to factory defaults. Also try synchronising with the computer as soon as it gets on and download VJBigphone or some software to fix your pc. Anyways this sounds really weird, because when i bought mine it was already unlocked. You shouldnt try to unlock an unlocked device, might result to hazardous errors.

Heh I never came accross this unlocking code thing. Cant you get the unlocking codes off the internet? Is it like some random number which you enter and after that you can use another SIM Card? I think what the software does is it enters the unlocking code for you but in this process the ROM might have been damaged due to registry modification. But i suggest you do a hard reset and go back to factory defaults and try to use the unlocking software again and again till you get it perfectly right without any of those powering up issues. I am sure it will work. lol... if i was sitting beside you right now i would have fixed it. Maybe you are skipping some essential step.

Probably YES probably NO.
I ve done quiet a number of MDA PRO using the same process with no problem.This is my first M5000, I can confirm the device was ok before unlocking.I know i did everything at my own risk.I did all types of reset. Still the same, switch on whenever it wants.
Being an idiot ive remove the cid and update my orange firmware to htc origernal the software is so much better then orange but being a idiot i only red a few thread before doing it now when i put my orange sim card into which worked before it says its sim locked enter code.
i only want to use it on orange so dont really need an full unlock.
any suggestions of how to resolve this problem.
im most greatful for any help.
ive also tried following instructions to reset it to the carriers defaults the flash was sucessful but still asks for sim lock code.
will unlocking the phone solve the problem?
mate just full unlock the whole handset and all your troubles will go away - why would you want to not unlock it????? suggest you read the threads surrounding sms / mms / gprs on Orange as you will need to load the various cab files. When you have done that you phone will be like new
Enjoy.
unlocking kaiser?? please advise
i have double checked the unlocking section and from what i read the the tool provided is not working to unlock the kaiser. i would appreciate a link or advise on what i need to use to unlock a new att tilt/kaiser? it would seem the tool is available, i just haven't found it.
thanks, woody

I already have a few of the other HTC phones, wizard - tornado and typhoon, so have gone through the CID unlocks, rom upgrades, etc.
I have a co-worker who got their hands on a used Excalibur / T-Mobile Dash, which is sim locked to T-mobile ( I know there is a post here where we can get the codes from one of the members )
The phone itself has a password required when it boots up. That password is not available. Co-worker has asked if I can do anything to help. Before I give him back a brick, figured I should ask......
Will I be able to sync with activsync to be able to add the files needed to CID unlock the phone ??
Once CID unlocked - we can then upgrade from bootloader screen ??
Is there any other work arounds out there - to me, just seems easiest way is to flash new rom ??
Any feedback greatly appreciated - thanks in advance
Have a good one

Last two days I have read all the threats in this forum for my problem but I couldnt find any solutions.
I bought my unlock s621 from compusa about a month ago and I have tryed to upgrade it two days ago. Duiring the upgrade proces when scale %3 it stoped to active sync connection.
Later I learned from this forum that this happened because I had to cid unlock before upgrade but I didnt know this before ) I chrashed original wm 6 rom.
Then I read all about treats which about this issue. I opened phone in three color bootloader mode with pushing camera buton.
I have try to learn my cid id like what write here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379318
My phone didnt give the cid id with this method and I have tryed this one and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379622 this one didnt help. I used several windows computers and many times.
I have tryed to install all official roms in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726 but non of them help. All going to %3 and then say wrong id error 270 or 262 etc.
I learned that there is no way to unlock cid under bootloader mode I have to find original official rom which device has before.
I can't learn cid id so I dont know what was before.
Just I know when I was do hard reset to old wm6 rom was starting spanish.
Questions;
1. Anyone know that which rom can recover this phone?
2. Is there any way to cid unlock it in bootloader mode which I didnt find it.?
Thank you.
(Sory for my english)
No one knows any official Rom for this phone?
Please read the Wiki
And here you find the cid unlocker
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225
Good luck,
orb3000 Thank you for replay I have read all wiki but my device has turned to three color mode after first errror 270.
As I learned that device is not connect to activesync in three color mode. SDA and USPL- CID BYPASS unlockers are need actvesync for connect and unlock to device. Or device need original rom which what was before for live and connect to activesync and unlock.
Do you have any idea connect device to activesync in bootloader mode?
Thank you

Connect your phone to your PC, while he is in thebootloader and flash it with a official rom.
You don't need to connect with active sync.
jhwo99 thanks again but non of the official roms are working for my device. (I treid all official roms from this site)
I wrote htc and they said according to serial number my device came from spain I treid last official spanish rom many times with different computer but it comes just %3 then turnoff. It gives wrong ID or something like that.
Even I tried change rom version other than to 1.30.515.1 (This is the my device rom version which I tought)
I did it with some of rom cook tools (By the way I get more knowlage how to rom cook) But this time it gives error again not wrong ID but something different.
So I am looking for official spanish 1.30.515.1 rom or tool for unlock cid under boot loader without activesync.

If I connect with usb cable in press and hold camera button with battery or without battery it is working in bootloader three color screen. Not normal startup any way.
By the way I learned someone real rom version;
Rom version: 1.38.476.1
Radio version: 4.1.13.59_0315.90
I need this original spanish rom now.

Don't connect your phone with USB cable to your PC and take out the battery.
Put it back and your phone restart.
