you get the upgrade files from www.my-xda.com not from microsoft....
re-do the upgrade dude.... goodluck... check out DCS's thread about upgrading
i upgraded (and switched languages in the process) my girlfriend's iMate 2k2 ( a.k.a. XDA2/MDA2) by flashing with an upgrade from my cellular provider.
the first time, things went wrong and I saw USB and some weird junk on the screen.
panicking, i decide to try it again.
this time it erased everything, and crashed when it came to 15 percent of the writing part.
REALLY spooked, i tried it a third time, and sat in front of the laptop to prevent a screensaver or hard-drive-spindle-down from happening, and the upgrade went smoothly.
it was a boring 45 minutes, occasionally jiggling the mouse to keep the computer alive, but it worked.
so try and try again
Thx All For Help
i've read a post by DCS a after that all went smooths for my noob knowledge ...the 3 button reset hlp me alot cu guys ..and HF!
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:

Ps. I better like German flash, it's smaller due to fewer language packs, and contains English, here: http://files-upload.com/files/472422....90_Ship.exe
thanks to jsp_m for the links.
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...

Ok this is what i have done and what has happened.
I've had the n520 for a year now with WM 5, have been reading this and other forums RE upgrading to WM 6 etc. I took the plunge using "greymans" ROM from here xda forums, sorry I am unable to post the link
COLOR="blue"]WM 6.1 CE 5.2.19974 (Build 19974.1.2.8) Eng[/COLOR] The ROM worked fine , I re-installed all my old programs "great" no problems.
Included in the ROM is a program from "NEWPLOW" called tuneup, I was experimenting with the settings when I selected under the GPS tag SIRF 2, the loox requested a reboot which i did.
The loox N520 now rebbots only to the splash creen and no further, ie. the mountain walkers. with a small black line 3 mm wide about 2 cm up from the bottom left hand corner.
I have tried a hard reset and i get to the dolphins with the numbers
1.20.G4
1.20 Displayed.
Have tried connecting to the pc but active synch fails to recognise the device.
Finnaly my question, IS IT BRICKED? Or can it be salvaged.
Any advice gratfully recieved.
Cheers Williamsfan
all sorted
Did you solve this problem (reboots only to the splash screen)? I have the same thing ...
Thanks
David
