Develop Bugs

I can't get this to work either, have I missed something?

I put the cab on my MDA Compact and installed it.
Using File Explorer I can see a folder in Program Files and an Icon in the Programs window.
This has the four Icons, Hide, Lock, Unhide and Unlock!
My extended-rom folder is visable in File Explorer so I tokk it that I didn't have to 'Unhide' it.
So pressed the unlock icon and got a window with debug and ok in the title and Error: I click ok.
1.When I get back to my desktop I have another debug, etc window with following FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION. I click ok.
2.The next debug window says The Parameter is incorrect. I click ok again.
3. The next says extrom unlocked. I click ok.
I am taken back to '1' and go through 2 and 3 again. The windows go away.
I soft reset the MDA, by using the stylus underneath it.
I go back to file explorer and into the extended_rom folder and try deleting the TMO_Wallpaper and am told access is denied!
Not sure what else to try, but guess the unlock didn't work or I have missed something. Please be kind, if you reply.

Hi,
I am not sure if it works for you to,
I have had the same problem, FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION on my screen. Device didnt unlock either.
Tried to do it in any possible way,
even on the fora over here.
But the one wich i skipped, or didn't found was the correct one for me,
Personal i Think my Windows Screwed the files up, but thats F%CK*#G WINLOOS.
So i went to the ftp part of this site, and just downloaded the unlock tool again,
Just did an hardboot of the device, installed the fresh download i obtained.
First unhided it, than reset, followed by unlock, and guess what it said?!?
Rom was unlocked.
So not an single error in my case, hopes it will work for u to.
It is not always your mda who fails, your pc can do this much better.
:arrow: :mrgreen:

How do I get to the FTP site, please?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site

Ok I think i have got to the ftp site, I say I think because when I clicked on the link it took me stright there, it didn't ask me for a username or password :?:
Anyway I searched all what I thought were the relevant folders and some that weren't and couldn't find the file
Can anyone help?

your device is called magician as codename
try looking in the sub dirs under there

I don't want to appear rude, but I have searched all the folders, etc!

Reflashing to original image - help!!

Hi all. I'm trying to flash my XDA2s back from the iMate Rom to the original 02 image.
I have the .nb1 file on my computer. I let the handset sync using activesync. Then double click the image. It loads up the 'XDA OS Image Tool' which seems to work fine.
Then a command prompt widow pops up and says:
'ERROR: GetDeviceData - unspecified error
error getting devicedata'
Programme A v1.09 pops up and eventually an error message tells me
'cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure the USB/Serial cable is properly connected'
Any ideas? I'm a bit of a n00b still with this stuff and I reeeeaaaally need this returned to the original rom image.
cheers - Mike

Hi Mike,
Suggest you download the latest O2 Spec Complete shipped ROM, unzip it into another folder, add MaUpgradeUt_NoID and use this method instead. This should give you a completely standard O2 ROM..
More information can be found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
Let me know how you get on..?
Cheers,
PC

Cheers for the quick reply!
The thing is, its kinda on its last legs (whistling screen, loose stylus, rubber seal under screen coming out, dodgy down button, didn't enjoy my trip to poland etc) so I predict it will meet its end in the next couple of weeks and I'll need to pull an insurance job. I need to make it so they can't tell that I flashed it or it invalidates the insurance cover. Will they be able to tell if I flash it with the new 02 ROM that isn't the original?

Hi Mike,
My guess is as long as it's an original O2 ROM (that, quite rightly, would have been available to you anyway) they shouldn't have any issue..
One thing that would be a problem is if you have ever upgraded to WM5 and unlocked/unhidden your ExtROM as this would forever be known as your ExtROM wouldn't have a password..
My feeling is that provided you've never updated in this fashion, you'll be ok..
Others - Feel free to comment if you know different..?
Then again, if you're going through the Insurance where the phone has been dropped (off a Building, for example) where they had no ability to see it working, they'd be none the wiser, would they..? :wink:

I sure hope not I did upgrade to WM2005, and then back again, but I can't see an extended ROM anywhere.

Did you re-size the ExtROM, etc using the following procedure..?
Wiki said:
If you have not unhided and unlocked your Extended ROM yet
copy xda-developers_Unlocker.cab from the "Preparation\ExtROM unlocker - WM2003SE" folder to your device.
install it by tapping on it in filemanger
then go to start -> Programs -> ExtROM tools -> then first run "unhide", then "Unlock". Do a soft reset.
Setup the Storage size to get a full 60MB and not 43 MB
Copy Repart_DOC.exe from the "Preparation\DOC repartitioning tool" folder to your device and launch it.
Set size of Extended ROM to 128 kb (or a bit more, if you want a NOT working extended ROM)
Press "Format now!" and wait until it is done (A few seconds). You will see a message that it is done.
Soft reset.
You will get an error message about your storage, just press yes and wait a few seconds
Click to expand...

Unless I'm mistaken, this process will change the password for the ExtROM..
Can others advise..?
Cheers!

D'oh, I can't remember! I recall setting the ext. rom to 128kb so I probably did. Darn.

Error 270 fix

I'm running Vista and when I wanted to run the bootloader upgrade on my Dash I kept getting this message error. Error 260. anybody find any way around it? I've tried to manually set th ephone into bootloader mode, same result. help!! PS the error is supposed to mean "port already open" or "open port error" I'd really appreciate any help!

erro 260 - fixed
switches to my wife's laptop that had XP on and it worked like a charm. I'd be glad to assist anybody in the process od de-branding their Dash. Removing the ugly T-mobile paint logo on the unit was easy too.

ERROR 260
Sorry for thislong story....
OK, I've been on looking around the site for a while. I installed the WM6 Beta. I was looking for two days for the WM5 ROM only because I want the little things to work. Finally found it. But now every time I try to flash my phone ack to WM5 bI keep getting the 260 connection error. The readme only says to restart the comp and phone and try again. I have literally, no joke, done this 12 times in the last 2 hours, hoping maybe it will go. All the phone does is go to the green, blue, and red screen and stays there. Then the comp says it gets the error. I know it's connected because Sync Center syncs, I can look through the phone, install apps from my comp, etc. Also I tried doing the 'Update only' rom for version 1.11 or so, and it starts to go but then says its the wrong version RUU. Has anyone had this problem before? Flashing to WM6 did this once and then worked after.
I'm running Vista Premium, stock sync cable, Microsoft Sync Center for vista. All this is the sameas when I flashed to WM6.

There goes another 3 attempts, trying to change timing, reinstalling Sync Center, etc.

Decided to try it on my XP desktop, and for some reason, first time it worked. Maybe Vista didn't like it? Who knows..

Mladito Vista!!
Hi there,
I have the same little problem here!!!! I have a laptop with Vista (garbage)... so i´ll try on a laptop running XP...thank you for posting this, it was a big help..i let you know how it turns out... see you around

WM5 to WM6 --> Problems at 3%
Hi all,
I've errors upgrading my phone to WM6.
I Can open the Wizard (it`s a generic to S620/S621), but in 3% i`ve an error.
I think thats my phone has a blocked CID.
How can i unlock this? i`ve tryed with tools to unlock, but without success...
Regards,
Emerson

Hello,
Welcome to the forum.
Your problem is that your phone is CID-Locked. Hence, you'd need to use a paid service to unlock it. I personally used the following service which provides instant unlocking:
http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/htc-excalibur-instant-remote-unlock-p-1452.html
I used a credit card, it's 39.99 $ - I was done unlocking and upgrading to Windows Mobile 6 in about 15-20 minutes.
Good Luck !
P.S:
Steps to install WM6
- First CID/SIM Unlock using GSM Liberty
- Flash Bootloader
- Install WM6 ROM (It will take some time for it to load so give it about 5-10 mins. it does get stuck at the boot screen for sometime but eventually it'll load)
- Install Office/Audio Manager
- Application Unlock your phone using SDA Application Unlocker
- Install the necessary software/tweak/hacks
there you go, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. also, if you use the search function, everything's available here.
Good Luck !
Here's the following links you require
1) Flash Bootloader
ftp://xda:[email protected]
2)here's the WM6 ROM:

here's office for those who want it:

here's Htc Audio Manager for those who want it:

Hi,
I`ve problems because my IMEI is from Brazil...
And in the site accept only 15 digits IMEI..
My imei is: 35*************02 (17 Digits IMEI)
Thanks,
Emerson

hey,
that's not a problem. everyone has 17 digits, don't include the last 2 digits when you type in your IMEI so for example
11111111111111102
just include the first 15 and submit and you'll get an unlock link in your e-mail, follow that link, scroll down to the page to download dashunlock software and download the .UNL file for your IMEI and then make sure ur phone is connected to active sync and it's green, open the dash-unlock program and then hit enter then it'll ask for the .UNL file, locate it and open it and your good to go - your phone will be unlocked then soft reset it or i think it's automatic and everything's set.
good luck !
p.s: in other words, don't include 02 when you type in your IMEI.

Emerson;
Read the second post from luckybandit on this thread. That´s exactly what to do to get rid of the "invalid model" issue. Download the bootloader, flash the phone, flash the new ROM and be patient.
My excalibur is also from South America, and worked OK. If you have any doubt just let it know to this thread.
Boa sorte!

Hi,
I`ve problems with the link of Boot loader....
Anyone can send the full URL?
Thanks,
Regards,
Emerson

Hello,
I'm sorry about the links not working, here - i've attached the bootloader for you. here's what you do
1) Run bootloader (attached file)
2) Run the WM6 WWE ROM
3) Run SDA Application Unlock
4) Install Office/Microsoft Voice Command/HTC Audio Manager
5) Install Tweaks/Hacks
here's a site that has some applications and tweaks:
http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm
and search this forum, there's tons of information, hacks - etc.
Good Luck !

oh by the way, did you unlock your phone properly?
1) Download unlock software
2) Download .UNL file specifically for your IMEI
3) Connect phone to computer and make sure the activesync's icon has turned green
4) Run unlock software
5) When unlock software asks for .UNL file, browse for it, choose it
6) That's it ! It should say Unlocking done and it'll reboot
Your phone is now Sim & Cid Unlocked. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. just do what i said first then post.
Good Luck ! Hope to see everything working for u...

LG ks20 - lost IMEI after flashing

Hallo,
I'm new in the forum, i was advised to register here in order to try and find solution to a problem my ks20 has after flashing a rom.
I tried today for the first time to flash a rom in my new ks20(i bought it yesterday used with cooked rom on), i followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369481.
When my phone tried to open, after flashing, this message came up "illegal use unavailable OTP Block".So i flashed another rom in order for the phone to open. With the new rom it opened but it had lost IMEI number and cannot connect with any phone network.
I have made a nv backup with LGMDP but when i try to use LGMDP to restore it i have the same message as before "illegal use unavailable OTP Block" when the phone turns on.
I tried with different roms branded and unbranded. I also tried this http://www.myphone.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=181820&page=360
I dont know what went wrong, nv backup procedure was complete, why do you think that nv backup is not good? I am ready to through the phone away
Maybe you can provide me a solution or another nv backup with my imei ( as i read somewhere in here) if the one i have made is not good.
Thanks , waiting for your help.

LGMDP_EURO that i used to change the rom created two folders: one is called NvBackup and the other folder is named with my imei number, i used both .nv2 files that are included is these folders but every time the result after restoring was the message "illegal use unavailable OTP Block".
I don't know what to do!
Please if anybody has a clue

what rom did you last install?
Was it the branded or unbranded version?

The last rom was Greece Vodafone 10g it is branded.
The problem when i tried to install a cooked rom which i think it awas also branded.
My phone is vodafone branded

did you restore your nv2 in emergency mode?

no i installed a new rom (so that the phone could turn on ok even with wrong imei) and i tried to restore with the phone turned on

shut down your phone, start emercency mode(press : "Send" "Browser" "Power") a green led will shine on your mobile and connect it, and try to restore your back up nv2

how can i do that from emergency mode? i don't have "nv Default" option, also there is no "reset database & contents"

if you have msn send me your email adres in a private message.

Unfortunatelly i dont have msn but i have facebook account.If you have one we can talk from there

sure is the same

I have sent you my account by pm

Did you solve your problem?
If not give rickou26 your imei number and ask him to make you a backup nv2 file.

use the program MTTY because it's only USB or has unlock without backup (like me) and has still bluetooth activated car solve the imei and bd address problem with that (should be works with usb cable also) :
1) get the phone recognized by windows and activate modem serial port interface
bluetooth perifs-> properties -> services -> check the 2 boxs
3) start -> programs -> accesories -> communication -> hyperterminal ->
set a name and modem port (should be found in step 1)
'call' (yellow phone)
4) type "AT" (without quotes) should see "OK"
5) type ATZ (activate echo)
6) AT%IDDE to unlock
7) AT%IMEI=X,X,X,X, ....
(15 chars) replace X by IMEI code or what you want
8) AT%BTAD=X,X,x,x,x,x ...
(12 chars from 0x0 ->0xF) same for bluetooth address, warning : the digits are in little endian (inversed)
9) switch off and on and the bluetooth should work again without asking for BD address
this method has worked for a KU380 only by bluetooth without install third party program to backup or repair and should works for other phones

help this dummy out ...
i met with the similar issue....
flashed my ks20 to upgrade to win 6.1
lost IMEI, bluetooth ID,...
QPST recognises the fone in 'download mode'...
so what can i do to recover my fone?

hi
hi all, i have just the same problem with ks20. I dont have imei and i do not backup the nv files. My phone is just a pda, no signal. On the back of the phone my imei is 357323-01-085909-3. Please help me, i have email [email protected]
