So, I managed to upgrade to Kavana 6.1 on my own (yeeeaaah). I got a couple of questions though.
I followed the update with pics thread. Apart from the fact that it should state (for newbies like me) that you need to unzip the chosen ROM and run THAT RUU but anyway... at the end on the thread, it shows how to configure various things like wi-fi, texts etc... My question is, is it possible that mine did that all on its own? Because I did not get those images asking me what setup to get and the keymap/keyboard works fine, the wifi works, so far everything works, it even picked up T-Mobile on its own. Anything I should know? Second of all, the quote below... does not make sense in the English language. Please be more specific because I can't seem to get active sync to work. Thank you.
To Get ACTIVE SYNC to work after this:
Do this with the USB cord DISCONNECTED from the computer.
Scroll down or up to the settings panel.
Select
Scroll right or left to USB to PC.
Select
UNCHECK the first option.
Connect the USB cord after you click on ok.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Settings\USBtoPC untick advanced network functionality, do you get data if not then Connection Setup needs to be run.
Also if you want predictive off FN+SPACE in a text input box ABC.
That's it all done
well on your sliding panels homescrren the very last pabel is settings scroll over till you see the usb to pc panel cick on it and uncheck the first box.

Got it. It wasen't clear that it had to be done on the cell itself.
So, is it possible that all the settings have been setup all fine on their own?
What about Tegic multi languages, I tried it on WM6 and it did not have the et9 for Italian for example and the mapping was all wrong. Does it work only for WM6.1?
Thanks.
What is the up and down sign next to E? I guess its the jogger thing?
I love 6.1 so far.
Anyone?
So far the ROM is really good, but I got a couple of questions.
1) I think I solved the issue by deleting a draft text I had, but at times the phone would just vibrate without me getting a text or missed call, etc. Is this something that has occurred to others? Or you think it was just the draft text?
2) I was wondering if the et9Tegic with 14 languages works solely on WM6.1, reason I ask is because I installed it on WM6 and it did not have the et9 for say Italian. Maybe it was conflicting with Tegic-US?
3) I went on wifi, connected to my own connection that I have home, went on skyfire, and after a bit, the phone went sort of crazy on me. It would just click and move on its own. I had to turn off the phone in order to restore it to normal. Anyone know the answer to this? Should I worry? Is it frequent? I re-went online when I restarted it and it was fine, but I wonder if anyone had this issue.
4) To setup a background image, is 320X240 the whole screen, or does it cutoff the menu bar? If so, what is the actual visible size of the image?
5) I didn't have to go through the whole setup and was wondering if its normal that it setup sms, mms, wifi and everything else on its own.
Thanks.

We're you using the jogger to scroll when it went all crazy on you? That happened to me a while back , when I was using the jogger to scroll , it would not stop scrolling up or down. What worked for me was to set the jogger to use only for speaker volume and and for the wmp.
The backgrounds will use the whole screen at 320x240 size. I do all my images at 320x240 and they display perfect.
You shouldn't have to do anything on sms,and mms, other than connection setup, for your country and carrier, unless you get the mms problem that some people get.
For wifi, it should work right away,but to be able to connect, you have to set up your wireless network if you're at home or work, by searching with the phone's wifi and connecting and then providing the usual, (network type,authentification,data encription,network key) .

I wasen't using the jogger but I might have touched it involuntarily. Once I tried it again I know I did not touch it and it was fine. I guess I will also set it up like you suggested.
I didn't have to setup anything as far as SMS are concerned and I haven't tried to send or receive MMS yet, but once I completed the RUU the phone went on cold booting on its own and restart it fine all on its own. Wifi same thing, no need for me to do anything, I just connect fine anywhere.
Another thing it does, if I use the jogger or not, it pops up something telling me that dimlight should be kept at something like -t instead of -m? How do I get rid of that thing?
I got a bigger problem now. The phone at times just vibrates on its own without getting any sms or mms or missed call... What is it?
Thank you.
The -t and -m thing refers to the LowLight program. By default it's activated by tapping/touching the jogger 3 time within 10 seconds.
I was playing with it, after a new upgrade, last night.
Apparently you *are* touching the jogger...probably without realizing it.

Lord knows THAT is easy enough to do, lol!
When I first bought my Dash, it had WM 5 on it, and there was a setting for JOGGER sensitivity. Not one of the "cooked" ROMS I have used here have such a setting, thus even breathing on the JOGGER can set it scrolling/clicking madly.
How about it Kavana, NRG, Rickywatts? Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the JOGGER?

The only way that I know to adjust any type of sensitivity on the jogger is the speed of it. The faster you set it , the more sensitive it will be to the touch, and viceversa.
So, I think I figured the vibration. I was closing the Texts when I saw it pop up in the conversation, you know 6.1 has threaded texting, so I thought it would send it once it popped in, but I noticed that you still got to wait for the OK Info to come up to confirm the message has been sent. So far all good and no more vibration. So far...
Joggr don't matter. I set it to adjust volume only since I use the keys to scroll up and down.
1) What about the fact that I didn't have to setup anything (WiFi etc)? Is the setting up something that only non-USA resident have to do? Or...?
2) And does anyone have an MSN Messenger (or something close to it) that works on TEXTS and NOT data? I looked everywhere but nothing! Thank you.
3) I tried to look up here on xda and on Google, key mapping... kmap... notepad kmap... etc, but nothing. What I would like is et9 that has the USA Dash keyboard layout (keeping the t for CeleTasks of course) but also et9 for US English and Italian. I installed the et9TegicFull but the keyboard layout is UK English. I modified the .txt files in the et9 folder but the tab and symbol keys do not work except for writing 0 and going to the camera. Anyone?
4) When I restart the phone, the options on the media sliding panel on the home screen work fine. If I click on images, it goes to images, if I click on profiles, it goes to profiles. However, I noticed that the wifi one works fine at first, but after 3 times or so that I use it/click it, it stops working and to get on wifi I have to go to Start>CommManager and click on wifi icon. Even when I click on the right soft key (when on the media sliding panel home screen) which is connection settings, and I click on commmanager there with the center key... nothing. It clicks, but doesn't go anywhere. Why?
Thank you.
Anyone please?
1) If your router is not encrypted then it would just connect, if it is encrypted you must have put in a key.
The rest if set up don't worry generally have to run connection steup.
2) You want OZ Messanger think only jdog & Mikey know how to set up?, You could set up Yahoo on home computer and when people sent message will come to phone and can reply via text.
3) Not sure what you mean does nothing work?
4) Sounds like a hard-reset needed bruv as never had probs with Commanager on Kavana's

1) I mentioned wifi just to make an example. I didn't have to setup anything like carrier sms mms etc but I see in the guides that some people do? Mine just restarted fine.
2) I have unlimited texts. I have T-Mobile OZ Messenger and it works. I have AIM, ICQ and Yahoo. I was wondering if someone has an MSN program that works on texts. Also, I noticed that when I open the .cab file for the oz messenger on my desktop, it has an MSN file. I was wondering how to make that one show instead of ICQ. Maybe it will work?

3) I never said nothing works... I asked to have a US Dash keyboard layout and et9 for English and Italian.
4) Sorry but what is bruv? What I am saying is, when you go down the last panel on the Home screen, you can choose from profiles to taskmanager to jogger settings and also wifi enabling. So, if I were to click on wifi, I would get a panel when I can click on/off. Ok? It works fine for the first 3 times I use, but then... when I click on the wireless manager on the home screen again, it doesn't go anywhere. Why? For it to work again I have to reboot the phone.
See...
This is Wireless manager...
When I reboot my phone, if I go to it and click on it... I get this...
But after a while, both this
and this (CommManager after I right clicked on connection settings, as you can see in the image)
when I click on them with the silver center button, do not work. Got it? Send To Phone

1) Yes thats why the second sentence
2) Just use OZ if you got set up, MSN messanger does not do text.
3) I needed clarification don't think possible as can't have Tegic & T9full, Tegic English is US eT9 English is UK
4) You have something wrong if you cannot always access commanager, to which is why say hard-reset. "not normal behaviour" lol no need for pictures i'm not a noob
I know you are not. But maybe I was not clear.
1) Reason I ask if its cool that everything worked at once on its owns is because I was wondering if maybe later on I will encounter issues. Wanted to get them out of the way now.
2) So, there is no MSN Messenger or other program for WinMo that works on texts? Wow.
3) I could simply install the et9 Tegic Full with 14 languages and remap the notepad files. I did so, but I can't get the tab to work as a tab, it just types 0, and the symbol button just works for activating the camera or it writes an e'. I was wondering if I can change something in the notepad files to make those two work because other than that I fixed the problem. Anyone?
4) Alright, I will try hard reset. Will this delete everything or no? Anything I should watch out for? Thanks.
Capitan Totti , bruv is the same as brother, bro, broham, (bruv) . I'm in the US and know what he means.

Just thought I would start a thread for problems/annoyances people have noticed with the upgrade to WM6 (RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.22.531.4_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe)
Here is a start for me:
- The memory leak problem is just as bad as the beta I installed over a month ago.
- The homescreen reverts back to the TMobile Default Blue on a soft reset (you must rename to fix)
- The registry hack to disable the beep when you initiate a call doesn't seem to work (didn't work for me in the beta either)
Not sure what you mean by 'memory leak', but I found deleting the Voice Command shortcut from the startup folder frees up a lot of memory. Personally, I find the number 1 feature of Voice Command to be frustration, so I don't need it loading at bootup.

Try renaming the tmobile default blue homescreen xml to something else, or delete it outright. Im pretty sure thats the homescreen that defaults back when you restart the phone. I would like to state for the record that I have octrotalk installed, and have customized my homescreen with octrotalk. It essentially creates a new homescreen with all the plugins from the current and adds octrotalk to the new one, setting it. When I restart my phone it always comes up as my octrotalk screen, regardless of how the restart was done (battery removal, smarttoolkit restart, whatever.) Additionally I don't have any memory leak issues. I run quite a few apps at a time, word, excel, IE, octrotalk, outlook, a few games in and out, occasionally zatelnet, and the filemanager. I also generally close all apps Im not using anymore, but when I close all the apps I opened to run, I usually recapture around 12megs free ram. When I start up from fresh boot, Im at just under 15 megs. Atfter closing apps in the default wm5 tmobile rom, I would usually end up with 9-10 free megs.
Unless someone else can confirm that the official rom does this same stuff, I feel like you may not have upgraded your rom.
I'm having problems with mail since upgrading to WM6. I can only reveive my .mac mail, I can't send out. I've tried everything to fix it, changed the ports on the smtp setup on the Dash and still can't send out mail. This is so frustrating! I didn't have this problem in the WM6 Beta or WM5.
I'm getting absolutely no email on my wife's dash after this new ROM. I try to set up the email and at first I get a warning about Roaming (I'm not). And then it just refuses to connect to download her emails from our POP3 account.
It' so strange these email problems we're having. I am not having any problems with gmail, or aol for sending and receiving, only my .mac mail (I can only receive, not send email). I rely on this as it's my main email client. I never had any problems before the "official upgrade".
Are you all using the T-Zones plan with the jury-rigged proxy settings? That might explain it. They're moving towards T-Zones being available via the WAP browser and widdling away at other features being accessable without paying for different service levels...
im just so glad there is a forum for the dash/excalibur here instead of mixing it with the MDA like HowardForums.
Over there there is about 2million "official" threads thare are never official to begin with. lol
If I use T-Zones button and go through the wap browser and go to my email I can send and receive fine within the t-zones wap browser. The problem is with the messaging app itself that won't let me send out email with my .mac account. Even if I have the phone turned off and am using WiFi I still get "the message cannot be sent" errors.
What else can I remove from the running programs to free up memory?
I don't use the voice command either. I would like to use the live messenger but it takes up so much memory.
I wish I could just take memory off my memory card and use it as phone memory.. Or even have a option like pocket pcs do and use the program memory as system memory...
Grrr I hate havin a laggy phone, reminds me of XP on a 266mhz computer..

I use PowerControl+OMAP from http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm to overclock my phone. It overclocks the processor to 240mhz when its in use and throttles it down to 180mhz when its in standby.
There is another issue with Windows Media Player and streaming Video (e.g Orb, Videos from Windows Media Mobile, etc) where the screen rotates 90 degrees when you zoom the video to full screen.

What you describe is how T-Zones work -- if you pay more, you can do mail within the messaging app. If you pay $5.99, you can do mail via the WAP browser. Which service plan do you have?

It should have nothing to do with me having the T-Zones $5.99 plan I can send and receive with aol, and gmail with the plan, only receive with .mac, I can't even send out mail using WiFi. I was on the phone with T-Mobile today and they tried troubleshooting. They said that for some reason the smtp is getting blocked with my .mac account, they think I should call Apple. I even asked if it had anything to do with me being on the T-Zones plan, and the rep said no, it should work through WiFi since I'm not using T-Mobile's network.

The "Problem with the homescreen reverting back" is not a WM6 problem, it's a My Faves (My 5) feature. Basically, every time you turn your phone on, the My5 service detects whether you have MyFaves and changes your homescreen to the proper setting. The settings for this are saved in the registry.
The location is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\My5\Homescreen
There are two values, On and Off. Just change those to your homescreen, or try removing them altogether (haven't tried that yet).
You could also try removing the My5MsgCenter.lnk from the startup folder, but I don't know if that's the one that reads from that registry key
ha, for some reason chaznet takes every opportunity to bash the 5.99 tzones plan. i have it now with wm6, i can go to every website, i can check my hotmail by going to www.hotmail.com, and the internet seems even faster than with wm5. so it still works, and it doest seem like its going away anytime soon

Deleting the Homescreen Registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\My5\Homescreen" Key Worked!
I searched all the forums about this issue but all I can find is things dealing with setting up text messaging. I have no network problems with data, text, or voice I just used the HTC network wizard.
Whenever I get a text message I can see the the beginning of the text in the selection screen but when I click on it the message is blank? So I can't read the whole text. I searched this Forum but couldn't find any people with similar problems. It seems to send them fine I just can't read the whole message for some strange reason. I have been clearing my memory and then flashing my Tmob Dash for the last three Kavana releases, they all exhibit this behavior. Any help appreciated with my problem.

Kavana 080408. The texts that I get show up on the main screen with a little bit of the text but when I click on them they don't show anything. I tried pressing all the buttons I can but it doesn't seem to do anything.
See is UNthreading them helps.
Uhm, just a silly guess here, but next time you're on the blank screen, click menu (right softkey) > 5 (Folders) > change to inbox, at least if it's not on inbox already. My friend changed his to sent and couldn't figure out why he couldn't see new ones either hehe
I looked everywhere in the messaging app and also the regular phone settings I don't see anything for unthreading. Also MMS can be viewed and sent normally. Just whenever I try to send or read a recieved text I have problems. When I try to send a text it doesn't let me type anything in at all. Not recipient and not the body of the text.
No I have already gone to all the folders. The inbox folder is where I can see the messages. You can read the begining of them, and who it is from but when you select one it doesn't show anything.
I had the same issue before, the problem disappeared after I uninstalled CE-Star (Chinese-reading problem).. do you have it installed?

DON'T Turn off the Damn active x
I finally fixed this problem.
I had a problem with WM 6.1 will only showing the headers and not allowing you to read the contents of : Text messages, Emails, MMS. This errors would also not allow you to write emails or text messages.
I thought Kavana's ROM had some big error with it but no one else was complaining. I downloaded Ricky's rom but same problem. So this weeked I fooled around with my phone believing it was some program I was installing. Even though I only install Google Maps, TCPMP, YGo, and Windows Live. I would install something then restart. I tried installing them one by one then it seemed to work but still after a time was becoming broken. I thought it had something to do with synching corrupted contact data. So I didn't synch but after a while it still came back.
This morning I finally realized that if you turn off active x it breaks the email and text which I assume both use IE active x The bad setting is.....
Main Settings Menu->IE Settings->Advanced Options -> NEVER TURN OFF ACTIVE X CONTROLS.
I think if Kavana, my personal hero, rolls another ROM you should take out this option.

I am glad to hear that you fixed and resolved your problem, and haha I hope that Kavana makes another Rom, he is awesome. But then again I got to thank Ricky for this rom to I love it.

any advice
also when u do see the message headers like yianaki but when you select the message and then press a soft key it says"message cannot be signed and/or encrypted"
You need an encryption key for your email and you don't have it on your dash email, maybe. Just a guess. Is there documentation as to what you need to set up your email. What steps did you need to take to get your email on your home computer.
i actually have kavana 6.1 version 080408 so i just used the connection setup for US tmobile. and it was working previous to this problem. i did a hard reset now and its back to normal for now
SWEEEET!
Thanks "Y" you saved my life, I had the same problem. Keep Active x controllers checkmarked "On".
change IE option.
I had the same problem only can view the header of a msg, but can
t see the content. Here is what I did to solve it: go to IE\tools\option\general\encoding\change to Unicode
Cant Open Text Message.
Hi, I'm from Jamaica, I bought my HTC S621 from Digicel Jamaica [here]. I followed the instructions and installed WM6.1 80408 Kavana and it was totally amazing, I did it on Saturday and it worked great, everything was working GREAT. On Sunday I realized I was unable to open my text messages for viewing. When I click Text Message, the colour wheel shows and it starts to open then it closes. I did all the suggested this in this thread but nothing works, any more suggestions please, I really need to send text messages to my work crew and this is a major hindrance. I dont know how to soft or hard reset and would like to try that first, any other suggestion would be great. Thanks.
PLEASE dont laugh or throw tomatoes, I fixed it. In my attempt to load a Yahoo messenger app I installed an SMS application that was causing the issue. Problem solved, sorry to be a bother.

I finally fixed this problem.
I had a problem with WM 6.1 will only showing the headers and not allowing you to read the contents of : Text messages, Emails, MMS. This errors would also not allow you to write emails or text messages.
I thought Kavana's ROM had some big error with it but no one else was complaining. I downloaded Ricky's rom but same problem. So this weeked I fooled around with my phone believing it was some program I was installing. Even though I only install Google Maps, TCPMP, YGo, and Windows Live. I would install something then restart. I tried installing them one by one then it seemed to work but still after a time was becoming broken. I thought it had something to do with synching corrupted contact data. So I didn't synch but after a while it still came back.
This morning I finally realized that if you turn off active x it breaks the email and text which I assume both use IE active x The bad setting is.....
Main Settings Menu->IE Settings->Advanced Options -> NEVER TURN OFF ACTIVE X CONTROLS.
I think if Kavana, my personal hero, rolls another ROM you should take out this option.

Just wanted to voice my agreement with Yianaki about "Never turn off Active X controls". The whole issue lies in the fact that the text messaging app is basically an Active X control. But I wanted to add the reminder that you need to make sure that the "Text Messages" app gets closed then reopened after you make the change, or it will not appear to work. (Use the task manager/celetask to close it)
I had the exact same problems with text messages: I could send an MMS, receive an SMS, but not send an SMS. When a text message came in, it showed up in the list as expected, but an attempt to view it resulted in a blank area with no useful menu options. I also couldn't send text (SMS) messages out because the create-new-SMS screen was blank and non-functional. It has nothing to do with the threaded vs unthreaded Accessibility settings for the phone, nor do you need to worry about configuring your WAP settings (GPRS and MMSC Settings); the "Connection Setup" app takes care of everything for T-Mobile perfectly. It's all an Active X issue.
PS: This is all on Ricky's v24 "Vanilla" ROM of WinMo 6.1 running on a T-Mobile Dash.

Hi vikino
To answer your first question, I think it may be because you are using ActiveSnyc with Push Email enabled. If you go to Comm Manager, is the switch for "Microsoft Direct Push" on? If so, when you are on a GPRS connection and make a call your data connection will drop as only 3G or HSDPA can co-exist with an active call. Like the difference between old dial-up and modern broadband internet on your landline. If you're not using Direct Push I can't think what's causing it, but it maybe the HTC Push Internet. If it's the push email thing, you may want to consider switching off "Microsoft Direct Push" from Comm Manager and then going into ActiveSync and setting the sync schedule to "As Items Arrive" manually.
Can you please clarify your second question. It's not 100% clear what is not being displayed properly.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
.....you know what? You're right, im using Push mail with my own mail server at home...and in the region i live in we dont have 3G it runs on Edge... Push internet i dont know where to set it up, i found it only in TF3D, but im not using it...If it is working w/o TF3D would be nice to know where to set it up...
The second thing is that on Xperia i had was nice small font in menu so in landscape fits all fields in without scrolling, on TP2 is much more bigger font and i have to scroll down for everything, programs and settings i found in top as icon...
Hi guys,
Bit of an annoying one this that I hope one of you extremely clever registry devs can tweak for me.
When writing emails / text messages i always use the physical keyboard, however I like the XT9 setting as it automatically spell checks and inserts capitals / punctuation etc.
The problem is i can easily set it to XT9 in the settings or by opening the software keyboard and pressing the ABC / XT9 button
or
by using the green function key, space (XT9), XT9 English
but as soon as I've completed my message or turned off the handset etc. it's forgotten, meaning I have to do this manually each time.
Is there any way to set default as XT9 in registry?
Kind Regards
Darren
Anybody got any ideas here? Driving me mad doing it manually every time.
I've just got my new TouchPro2 and I'm suffering from exactly the same problem. I love the new phone but this is the one thing that's driving me nuts!
I used to have it in my TPro and now it's gone missing in the TP2
I know, well you can still use it but many keypresses per use.
Slightly annoying.
I find this highly annoying too. I don't see why it can't be in XT9 as standard or at least just remember the last setting used!?
It's working!!! I've just found out that if you activate T9 in the Full QWERTY virtual keyboard, you'll get it work using the hardware keyboard.
did you not even read the original post?
of course it works like that, however only for that session. as soon as you're done and try and send another text or email etc you'll have to press those buttons again to activate it.
I don't have any problem typing using T9 messages after another using the hardware keyboard...
Even after I soft reset it, it's still working
haha brilliant, worked it out.
Here's the fix...i think.
Open new message in portrait, open software keyboard, click XT9 and then OK to close the window.
Rotate handset and do the same, open software keyboard, select XT9 and quit using "OK".
After this it should default to XT9.
You need to use the OK to close though and save the setting. If you send or cancel your settings will be forgotten.
This will save for all portrait and landscape modes. You'll need to do it for each area but i can agree that i have it saved in texts and emails now.
No more having to repeat actions over and over again.
Edit: seems to only save sometimes, also totally unable to save the XT9 setting in Touchflo conversation mode with text messaging.
bump...
I really enjoy using the functionality of xt9. And subsequently would greatly appreciate it having it available while using the hardware keyboard. any thoughts of having this available by default without having to set it to XT9 each time i open the keyboard
There has to be a registry setting somewhere...

It does "per session" but it does not stick on program close/reset.
boooooooooooooooooooo....man i hope someone can figure this out
Has anyone figured this out? It's really annoying that I have to enable XT9 with several different keystrokes at the beginning of any txt msg...
(Using the 9/14 NRG 2.1 STD ROM.)
HD/WVGA Tweak
On some customer ROM's I have seen a program called WVGA or HD Tweak. I searched and found CAB file for this as well. In this software, there is an option to turn on X9 all the time. You can also set how many suggested words to pop up. It reminds me of how the WING would operate when it suggested words!
Wow, thread starter, you read my mind. I've been looking for something like this since the day I got my phone.

This turns on Windows Default X9, which makes phone SIP & compact qwerty SIP inoperable (only outputs numbers). So, this in no way is a fix.
And, the cab you're referring to is EZInput 1.5 specific, has 0 affect on EZInput 2.x.

same thing happened to me when I tried to use it. Turns the phone SIP inoperable.

Hi everyone!
DISCLAIMER
I have no f* idea of what this does, or if it's legal, common, natural, whatever wherever you live. So if this does magic or can't be posted, tell me so i know .
So IF VERIZON blames you for entering there... i don't care. My relationship with V ends when the logo goes off, but your case may be normal usage... or so.

calls out to ppl, i hear this "welcome to verizon, but we're sorry, we cannot authenticate your phone right now".
calls coming in, ppl calling go straight to voicemail...and i get a miss call on my end
just had a 20-30 min chat with verizon....got it sorted out, phone works again
turns out there system saw my old and new phones "active", so system was like "this phone number shows up twice" and then just put a block on the number
after the guy refreshed the system, phone works again

Intro
As i could read many times, there is a submenu inside the ##PROGRAMNITT menu from the phone called "AUTHENTICATION KEY".
Ok,so you need some code that you dont have hum....let's play a bit.
note: this does nothing and doesn't let you hack the device or make coffee for you, it's a crappy result.
Mmm well, to start, you need a *unknown* length password, which you don't know, and also other values that you can't get from the phone itself, but you can fetch with tools. The download list goes as:
- RevSkills
- A-Key Calculator (http://www.superbank.ru/sms/)
- From the old times, the QualcommDIAG (old driver) or the SPST usb driver, so we get a COM port for the device. Both can be found on the forum itself. The best option is the bitpim guide, so you can know how to set the com port and yak yak yak.
Walkthrough
- Enter the ##PROGRAMNITT submenu and then activate the serial class mode within the "OTHER" submenu.
- Plug the kin
- Open revskills and set the port dropdown menu with your current phone com port (probably COM3)
- Go to the tab on this image, and press the "Read" button:
Write the ESN value (red square) / keep this window open.
- Open the A-key calculator, and input (write as is) the ESN value on the textbox (Note that it's a 8 hex char value, so put 0's on the left if doesnt). The right value will be updated while you type your ESN.
The result looks like this:
- Enter the "AUTHENTICATION KEY" submenu and type the updated value from A-key calculator & press "OK" button.
- Enjoy the... well does nothing for me so... who knows what's this for? unlocking the kin?
Note that i shadowed my values for security reasons... for the verizon customer, i guess, i dont use any of them .
Looks interesting. From what you've explained, you are not on a Verizon network (out of the country) and do not have an activated phone, correct?
I'm going to play with this later tonight, unless someone else beats me to it and convinces me not to.

Outta the verizon network, outta the country. I'm from Europe. That's why i got some delay on the posts... rofl.
I knew i couldnt use it, I just bought the first kin for the lulz. I thought i was going to be able to hack it through IE bugs... meh, life shows you that things are not always as expected....
Anyone tested this yet on the Verizon Network? I know it sounds dangerous but it's worth a try. I believe I've bricked mine so I'll attempt it when I get it back to a serviceable state.
Here's to hoping.

Was gonna try it until you reminded me of a brick possibility. Eh, my kin is only 2 weeks old, I'll try it tonight.
Eh, no brick here. I tried it on my 2m. Calculated the hex key, entered it into the phone, it said stored and that it required a reboot. I exited the ##programnitt menu, then phone rebooted.
Nothing appears different. Bitpim still has access to the same folders.
On a side note, RevSkills is a crazy program! John, have you used any of these other tools? on a kin or other phone?

seconded, just got my authentication key and entered it, and phone still works. Now if only it actually triggered/done something in our favor.

I tested all the tools, all the programs i could run on a virtual and normal machine long time before developping KinO.
"Nothing to see here" is always the answer. The phone memory couldnt be readed with this programs, and nothing access the phone, apart the cdma data, which is like meh for me (no cdma usage for the settings). As even SPST uses MTP driver for firmware (not the COM port driver), i guess all feasible with com ports is just cdma settings.
Also you can write something that mess your phone and that things....
Maybe other users from this forum (whole xda) know what's this for in cdma phones. I got any comunications knowledge, apart the network software needed for me.
me= noob post
heyyo so i tried this but rev skills keeps crashing when i tell it to read ( i set it com3 which is where bitpim and my compy say the phone is) and sad face taht it doesnt change anything has anyone looked at the logs after entering the key?
edit nm my compy worked the kin screen needs to be on
so i entered the key last night and somehowmy phone can send or receive messages or calls... so i restored it adn now it works. also a red light appeared where the light sensor is...

That was always there for me during boot time. It just flashes for a little time, anyway.
It's extrange that only 1 reported it. If it's a common issue, i will change the advice to a bigger one, so you could know before messing things up.

Did you mean that "you cannot make phone calls or receive them when you entered the key"?
Weird thing (pretty sure it isn't because I entered the Authentication Key), my bro activated his HTC Thunderbolt yesterday and when I try calling him, after 2 rings, I then hear a voice that says "welcome to verizon, but the number you are dialing cannot be reached". My calls to him don't go through, but he can call me. I am thinking it is because I had blocked all the data services (thru My Verizon except for the Pic/Txt MMS) and since the Thunderbolt is a smartphone, I cannot make calls to it.
So I unchecked "blocked all data", and will try to call my bro's phone again once I officially get an email from verizon stating that my features that been updated. I will also call up Verizon later today and ask them what's up.

If it was both things, i would really think about the Auth change, but receiving/calling separately OK is pretty much weird.
I would call to a home number or another number, if any. Dunno how 3g/cdma works to call another phone and if it's data or normal usage.

Just tried calling other family members cells and house number, and I still get the "welcome to verizon, but we're sorry, we cannot authenticate your phone right now".
So I think it's safe to say that entering the A-Key did this. I went back to the hidden menu, and tried to "disable" the Authentication Key, but it just asks me to enter it and nothing more.
Any ideas to "disable" the Authentication Key? Besides this
Clear Storage memory (reset phone)
* Hold C+B+ Power
* Prints a Phone image (and reboots)
Hate to have to re-enter my contacts again.
Update: did the Clear command, tried calling, and still get that "welcome to verizon, but we're sorry, we cannot authenticate your phone right now" msg. Gonna call verizon; hopefully it's an easy fix on their end and I won't need to get a new phone.
I updated the first post, so the user knows what could happen. I don't see the point of the authentication then. Unless it dissengages you from verizon, but receiving must be done withing a mobile network, so all it's pretty much weird.

Try to export your contacts from the submenu, so you can download the xml and, at least have the ones you had previously to a CB operation. You can try to reupload it with kino and try to import after rebooting. Nothing is assured but worths a try (at least the export part is feasible).
I'm sorry about the CB requirement, but that's expected when playing with unknown things in a production phone.
As this could change things, and i dont loose anything, i will check what the changes are in the logs files (like "skipping verizon connection" messages).
OK just called verizon (20-25 min chat), after the 1st rep couldn't fix it, she found a tech who could. Basically, he said that their billing system saw two instances of my number (they were saying maybe when I activated my Kin, that I had my old phone on and that caused the problem...we know what caused it though), so he refreshed the system. Then had me re-activate my Kin via *228. Then after rebooting phone, outgoing and incoming calls work...also txt msg does too.
Before doing the Clearing button command, exported contacts to my laptop. Then after phone was working again, tried importing it back in but got this error msg "can't import contacts right now because there is non-compliant XML in the contacts file". Guess I will just go to a verizon store and get it transferred from the old phone.
Here's a little summary of everything john (if you wanna put this info in the 1st post):

Great to hear about the solving procedure being done. Then the menu and the option would probably be a manual introduction into the verizon network, as you would do for entering the company from others (Sprint maybe?). I guess that's done auto on their side, but this menu allows you to do it too.
I dunno why you all get the contacts error. As i just imported the xml from klamation ok.Maybe yours has more data than "name, phone number" values.
i will export my full one and see what happens, when i'm a little ... less bored so i can reboot several times hehehe.
PS: quoted on first post.

I was able to successfully upload the contact file from klamation (got 215 of those BOB contacts). Then I renamed my "contacts.export" file to "cellebrite.contacts.xml", also removed my own name/contact from it, and still get the error when trying to import. It could be the case that I have extra junk for some contacts (have some work and home numbers, also maybe added some values in the "notes" field/tag. What I will try tonight, edit my contacts file so that its just the Name and Mobile tags that are present and retry importing that.

After many trial and error attempts at importing my contact list, it finally worked once I gave a LastName tag and value for the contacts that I previously only had FirstName (some of my contacts, I only had first names since a last name wasn't necessary for me to remember them).
So from my testing, you need both FirstName and LastName tags, and at least one character for a valid value and then the import will work.
