Why can't I upgrade back to 6.1? - HTC Excalibur

I am using a Rogers S621.
I was running 6.1 and decided to try the official Rogers 6.0. I downgraded to that no problem. Now when I try to upgrade back to 6.1 I can't.
Everytime I try half way through the upgrade it stops and I get the message:
ERROR [270] UPDATE ERROR: The Image File Is Corrupted. Please Check Your Update Utility.
I have tried both
Kavana's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374890
Rick's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397845
and both do the exact same thing.
I have tried reinstalling the Rogers 6.0 and then retrying one of the 6.1 upgrades and it still does the same thing.
I have tried doing the upgrade both before and after doing an initial sync with my PC.
I have tried it with and without using SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab http://downloads.rogers.com/wireless/products/phones/HTC/SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab
The problem seems to be when it gets to:
"execute SPL now - allow to run JumpSPL and after this step, press center button (Continue) on your Excalibur and screen should turn nearly white"
When I press the centre button (Continue) it just goes back to my homescreen and does Not turn white. It then begins the update but, like I said, kicks me out half way through with that error message.
Ideas?

Exactly what software are you refering to?

SDA Unlock APP
The SDA Unlock app can be located at the link below

If that doesn't work the link is actually on this page

When you installed WM6.0 it most likely lock the phone up again
I originally got my information to install 6.1 on that page before I came to XDA
It should work fine after you are done

Done and done.
Thanks a lot guys.

No problem, glad everything worked out for you.

Help! Me choos a ROM: I unlocked the 8525, now it won't let me upgrade newest Cingula

So yeah, i used the new V3a unlock utility, automated version...
Well it also updates the SPL in the process, not sure if this is why I cannot update my ROM to the newest official Cingular Release? What happens is the screen goes blank as if I had it on saving power mode, right when the update officially starts (progress bar stays at 0%), and I get the 460 error or whatever..for some reason my phone loses the ActiveSync connection at the same time screen goes dark.
Then I pickup my phone, everything is fine...but that ROM update puts it to sleep causing it to lose the connection I guess.
So anyway, which would be a ROM that will work for me? Is it not working because that unlock thingy upgraded my SPL?
I currently have WM 2005 on the phone, it is working fine. Just want an upgrade..to WM6.
I have t-mobile..
Go to the wiki and read the section on upgrading ROM via the miniSD card. I couldn't get mine to take via wire, but the SD method worked great.

No GSM/No Service on XDA IIs (BA)

Hi,
When i first got my BA, i upgraded from WM2003 to WM6.
This worked ok for everything (A few glitches here and there but i could live with them), but then, my phone battery had ran out, i charged it and loaded it up again and it now shows No Service on the today screen, so I can't make any calls off it.
I also noticed that when the phone boots it shows No GSM where it used to have 2 different numbers.
I've tried reflashing it to WM5, and also to WM6.1 but both of these didn't seem to fix it. The WM6.1 version I used can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390862
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks!
Yes, fix is quick and easy and you can do it even at home: a soft reset.
Hi,
thanks for your reply,
I have tried soft and hard resets but this doesnt seem to fix it.
I wanted to try upgrading my Radio rom but when I ran the updater I got error 114. I'm not too sure what this means though?
Thanks!
Solution against "No Service" issue
Have a lot of Siemens SX66's. Just took one and ran unlocker, then flashed WM 6.0 and upgraded radio to 1.15.00. After that inserted SIM card and saw permanent "no service" message. Tried HR few times for no avail. Here's what really helped: I ran universal unlocker once again and then did soft reset. Voila! System booted and connected to GSM network. Hope somebody will find this useful.
Hi, All!
2 Larik007:
Did you have similate trouble with radiorom?
I have analogic problem with my BA (iMATE PDA2K)
At boot screen I see
No GSM
D 6.14 WWE
and boot process stops at this position.
Once my BA was booted up with this trouble, and goes to reboot and all repeats again.
I can't reflash radiorom.
At 61% I have "Error 114: Radiorom upgrade error"
I tried to reflash radioroms from 1.02 to 1.15, but nothing positive.
:-(
Can anybody help me?
No, my problem is because of some kind of error during unlock process, I guess. And your problem appears to be similar to "No GSM" issue of Hermes phones. But it may be repairable unlike Hermes ones...

I have the same "no service" issue. Can you give me a link for this magic universal unlocker
- what is this anyway?
Thanks!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Unlock_Sim
Look for a link under word "this"
i had this problem, heres what i did that made it work,
1.re-insert the battery
2.press the on button
3.press the reset button TWICE
EVERY time you turn it off and on do this, but if you reset the phone you dont need to do it twice.
hope this works as it did for me,
Josh.
Partial solution for "No signal" problem
I think the idea was posted by xplode sometime ago- I spent a day playing with it, but it finally worked for me.
0) I had unlocked BA with 2003. Later on I upgraded it to WM 6.1 and then at some point I've got this "No service" issue. I upgraded my Radio to 1.15 (it did not help me- but I did this in the very beginning, so may be it matters)
1) I downgraded ROM to one of 2003 ROMs (xplode has a collection: http://tinyurl.com/cozbbx)
-) downgrade instructions are in here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
2) I unlocked band page for the network connection- it was discussed in (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297099)
2.5) I finally used this cab : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=23788&d=1121269005 to set band selection to 900/1800 (still no service)
3) I removed sim card and did a hard reset followed by soft reset. I put a sim card back and soft reset BA.
--- I guess at this point it's 2003 with 900/1800 band and working
4) I upgraded my ROM to 6.5 and it is working now.
the link is dead.sorry for my bad english i've tried all the procedure but still had no gsm on my xda iis dont have imei and i cant see my radio version can you help me....
Lucky You that I still have troubleshooting tutorial in my file archive. I've written it by myself when was unlocking many of these devices.
Although I'm not sure if it will help with symptoms You listed...
Here it is what you can try to do if your Blueangel PDA phone constantly showing "No Carrier" and it is not possible to enter phone settings:
1. Take off the battery from the phone while it is turned on.
2. Place the battery back in, turn on the phone. At bootup there should be stated "NONE" instead of versions of "R" and "G" (seems that it is required to be so).
3. After OS had boot, run the Unlocker. Few times, maybe.
4. Reboot.

Error: [202] - MDA V running HardSPL

Hi all,
This is an odd one - I have an HTC Diamond (DIAM100) and have run HardSPL and several ROMs with no problems. My Dad has an MDA V (DIAM200) (SIM Unlocked form T-Mobile) and is having problems with HardSPL in order to eventually put the HTC ROM on.
We downloaded the OliNex unsigned HardSPL. He runs the RUU and goes through all the warnings, then the phone goes to black screen and the progress bar dialogue appears on the computer. After a few seconds we get a 202 error complaining that it cannot connect.
I've searched here for an hour or so and as such we've tried...
- using different machine
- using XP and Vista
- usnig direct USB connection and a different USB to the normal one used
- restarted everything
- checked (and unchecked) the advanced network functionality
- run the .net 3.5 update
- tried 1.37 version of HardSPL
- manually running SSPL-Manual on the phone and then the RUU on the PC (although RUU seems to be fine at 'black screening' the phone itself)
- combinations of above
No matter what I try we get the same behaviour. After it fails we simply pull the battery and it starts back up as if it has been soft-reset. Entering bootloader manually we see he is currently on SPL-1.37.0000 if that helps.
Am I missing something??? Is there a problem with the MDA or with DIAM200 devices that my searches are not finding?
Hope you can help - please no RTFMs, I've been searching for hours - Rich
Some Hard SPL's are not compatible with certain devices. Have you tried other HARD SPL's ? I've used both 1.24 and 1.93 without a problem.
Yeah, error [202] is a connection error. Please make sure....
• Go to activesync on pc...
(on XP) File>Connection Settings...and Uncheck the "Allow USB Connections"
Then try flashing Hard SPL again!
If this doesn't solve your problem then just simply try flashing another Hardspl.
i'm using the 1.40 olinex hardspl (dont know if its signed or unsigned i forgot)
its working on my mda compact IV NLD perfectly
Hi all,
We were using the 1.40 originally but no joy. Tried the USB setting too - no joy.
I've downloaded HARDSPL 1.23 and 1.24 which I think I might try next.
Are these gonna be ok over a stock install of 1.37?
R
yes, it will overwrite the bios only.. but always back up data
are you using the RUU provided on here? or the original one...
Hi,
Tried the HardSPL 1.24 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621 - screen did not go black and we got the same 202 error when running the RUU.
***Tried to hard reset the device to see if that helped - but it wouldn't - we get the same as here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406195 meaning there is no internal image I think.*** Forget that - was pressing back button instead of centre button...!
STUMPED!!!
R
Same problem here. Can't install any hardspl(tried all) on my c4 with 1.37 firmware, it was one of the first ones made though, so probably too old to get any of the hardspl's to work/install? Back to T-mobile it goes.
Can they be *too old* - this one was not one of the first off the line, my HTC Diamond is a good 8 months older than my Dad's T-Mob.
Will T-Mob accept a return based on 'HardSPL won't work' - can't see them entertaining the idea myself...
R
What does the HardSPL version have to do with a connection error? A connection error means that something you are doing is not correct.
I predict you will try another HardSPL and do something a tad differently and boom, it will work and you will say that Hardspl only works.
I absolutely agree - but I just cannot figure out what - I'm no amateur either, flashed every HTC phone I've ever had - multiple times. But this one - stuck!

Have you tried going into bootloader manually and then running the customruu?
Sorry for the translate link but check this out:

Yep - tried this and the activesync thing - bootloader is fine - but 202 still occurs....

No, you misunderstand....
The original tmobile rom is absolute rubbish, its slow and buggy etc. If I send the phone to tmobile they will update the rom to a more recent release, which works much better!
As for the connection error, try a different computer again. I had to use 3 pc's before I could update the radio and rom, looking and working great now!

If you go to settings - connections - USB to PC
Uncheck the box Enable advanced network functionality then flash with your chosed hardSPL. It should work every time now!
This is checked as default so if you hard reset you ppc it will return to being checked.

htc uni (tmobile mda pro) no bootloader

Hey guys,
I uncle gave me an old mda pro and I tried to make the update of tmobile. While updating, my mda pro crashed. When I started it, i get into the bootloader. After this, I tried it again to update it with the tmobile update, but it crashed always with the notice that it had lost connection, but I didn't touch anything. When I started it, i get into the bootloader.
I got the programm to make the CID Unlock, but it doesn't worked with win 7 and vista, but with my old xp pc I have made the CID Unlock.
Now I thought I can't destroy anymore, and I tried again to make the tmobile update. It worked very good, it doesn't crashed or anything. The uppdate program said to me, congratulations, you installed the update..., and to finish the update, close the window and reset you device.
I did this things, but now, when I try to start it, nothing happens. Hard-Reset works, but after Hard-Reset nothing happens....
I looked for a thread with the same problem, but i didn't found one...

Hey, and I have the same problem with an other htc uni, On this my dad tried to update the tmobile update. And it crashed, too. There I would try to put win 6.1 on it, but the xda wiki is offline and I don'T know how to do it.
Please help me!
