Hey guys, I have an Excalibur that gets stuck on the TMobile splash screen when you try to turn the device on.
I've tried doing a hard reset, but I still end up with the same problem. I can get the phone into the bootloader mode (green, blue red) but everything I've searched around (read the wiki, tried google, youtube, etc.) says that I need to be connected to ActiveSync in order to flash a rom onto it.
Is there any way to flash this thing while in bootloader mode or am I screwed?
Thanks!!
Stickys, official roms & hard-reset bootloader.
Thanks for the quick response, Stylez!
I've read the "hard reset and bootloader" post, which is how I learned to put the device in bootloader mode (thanks to you!)
I've also downloaded the necessary ROM file and loader from the other sticky you mentioned. (I did read and search on my own before asking)
But when I try to run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe it tells me to connect the device to activesync which I can't really do because it's in Bootloader mode and WindowsMobile Device Center says it's not connected.
Try this.
Did you SDA and Surreal unlocked your cell prior to flashing?
If not, do so. You can find both files in the Wiki or in one of the stickies I am sure.
SDA Unlock it from desktop, reboot, Surreal, drag it in the device, install it, once installed... go to the ROM you chose and run the AUTO file, not RUU... you should follow the instructions of when to click on and the center button on the device, now, (this might occur) I know it does make the sound of restarting and when you load the ROM say v1.7a Ricky and Styles RoseROM, it won't go over 3% saying it can't find the device... just click on the RUU this time, and I bet you that this time it will find the device and load it. Try it and let me know.
When I run the SDA Unlock, the button remains greyed out because it doesn't recognize the device is connected to the computer. Is it supposed to even though it's on the bootloader screen?
The white bootloader screen is only needed when you flash a new ROM into it. You need to connect the device NOT in bootloader but just as is when turned on normally so that the ActiveSync will recognize it.
Same thing for Surreal, you just drag it in the phone and install it as you would install any .cab.

Thanks, but unfortunately I can't get this thing to boot past the T-Mobile splash screen. Is there no way to flash it without Activesync?
Also, I'm in the Red/Green/Blue bootloader (hold the camera button and attach USB cable) not the White one.
So, you are running the T-Mobile flash, yet you can't go past the initial screen? Did you just get it like this or did you flash it before... ???
Did you try to run USPL CID BYPASS? It might get it into white bootloader mode, just assuming. If not, then do as I suggested, when it says it doesn't find the device, re-run the RUU. As posted above.
I got the phone like this from a friend. So, who knows what could be wrong with it.
The bootloader screen says it's running 1.22.0000 and as far as I know, it's the default TMobile rom.
It won't get passed the T-Mobile initial screen. It will just turn back off after a few minutes. I can get it into the Bootloader mode as mentioned before, so I assumed I'd be able to flash it to fix whatever is preventing it from booting fully.
It seems, however, that something more severe may be wrong with the phone if the computer can't register that it's connected which prevents me from running any kind of CID BYPASS programs or SDA Unlock utilities.
Any other suggestions?
I am gonna think about it, but hopefully the more expert in here will help you sooner. I personally think your buddy messed up while flashing or something. Because if he did not, then he can just send it back and get another one from T-Mo. Plus, not being there to see makes things a bit more complicated this once.
Are you even connected to ActiveSync when in bootloader mode? I don't mean you, I mean in general.
And btw, did you try to do what I suggested you?
Connect the phone, get it in bootloader, try to flash the T-Mo ROM and clickon AUTO.bat, an image is on the guide with pics sticky thread in here... that should open and ms-dos thing, even if it opens the loader and doesn't go over 3%, this time... click on the RUU icon.. it worked for me last night and for the T-Mo ROM you shouldn't need any sda or surreal stuff. Try it...
You can get the T-Mo ROM from their web-site or here too.
I know you can go on youtube and look up upgrade to kavana, there is a guy who has it for download. Thing is T-Mo asks you for a cell number to verify you are the owner of the phone so you might have to insert your friend's number.

No, while in bootloader and connected via USB, ActiveSync (WindowsMobile Device Center in Vista) says that there is no device connected.

I tried this step, however, when the DOS box opens, it tells me it cannot find the phone and asks to try again. I do this repeatedly and get nothing. I also tried clicking NO on the retry, but nothing.

Tried that too, I actually have T-Mobile so I put in my own number. I ended up with the same error message about not finding a phone. Is it supposed to find the phone when connected in Bootloader mode?
Thanks for your help, btw
Thanks for explaining that. I think you might have yourself a bit of a problem.
I'll ponder on it and let you know. Can't you return it in exchange for another Dash?
What ROM are you trying to flash? I would recommend that you go to T-Mobile.com/wmupgrade and download the current Officially Dash ROM and recover the device that way. If you do not have a T-Mobile phone number, I can get you one that you may use to access the download page.
Once you reflash the official rom I recommend you do the CID unlock and flash a 6.1

Hi.
I am trying to upgrade to WM6 and the updater fails at the position before starting the flash.
The phone's screen is off, and the ActiveSync session fails.
After some search I found out that the problem is caused from EnterBootloader.exe, which just shuts down the screen instead of putting the phone to BL.
I tried putting the phone to BL, and then the RUU_ executable can't connect to it when the phone is connected through USB, no matter the ActiveSync option (allow or not allow USB connections)
What to do ?
Thanks a lot
Michael.
Do you have an original WM5 ROM loaded, or a cooked one?
Also, which SPL are you running?
Manually put the phone into the bootloader by holding the ok button on the left side of the phone, the power button on the right and putting the stylus in the soft reset button on the bottom.
edit: i guess you've already tried this
Normal original wm5, haven't touched the phone with upgrades until now.
I know how to put the phone to bootloader mode, but then the ruu upgrade can't connect to it.
SPL 1.06

To see what? This message is present since the links to the ftp site are online, its more or less "self-defense" or limitation of damage.
If you sign in to the e-Club there's nothing in the "my downloads" section.
When I sign in to e-club, it has the download.
But I know your issue, I am sure they will fix it soon.

If it goes to bootloader, just connect with usb cable and flash with a GSM rom while in bootloader

it works just like that??? or i need a different Diamond custom ruu..? or another flash tool.. i will try this in the evening because now i can't, but i want to be documented when i begin
as tonio94 says, if you can manage to get in to the tri-colored bootloader all you need to do is to flash with a rom that supports your phone... did you remember to hard-spl you phone before all this "mess" or?...

No other tools are required. Just put your device into booloader and connect with pc. The bottom of the screen should read USB. At this stage just follow the instructions that you would normal follow when executing the RUU_exe.
I'm sure you have already done this before but here is a guide ....http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4

thank you again
Problem solved, worked to flash like a charm.
thank's
This thread can be closed.
@skero666: i never recalled you as a noob.. i was just trying to give you an easy answer, sorry if i wasn't clear enough.. (^^,) .. and yeah, if you ever manage to get to tri-color bootload then you'll allways be safe... you'll never brick it unless you never manage to get to bootload .. lol

I need help changing htc raphael gsm to cdma
I have htc fuze with att provider. im wanna change carrier to boostmobile and keep using my phone. what can i do to change from gsm to cdma. help please.
I was putting the original rom back on my xv 6900. So I put on coke.40
Then I downloaded this update for the xv6900 from here: http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=95&cid=1&mid=302&carrier=Verizon Wireless
That part worked. But then once I got the rom running, I had no service. So I looked for my rom on htc's website. They do not have one for the xv6900, so I tried the alltell one. It failed at 29% and the coke bootloader is no longer there (I think it is the locked bootloader). And the coke bootloader requires you to be in activesync to install. I cannot get any rom to install and there is no rom installed currently.
This is what the bootloader screen shows:
VOGU100
SPL-2.1.0000
CPLD-3
I have an sd card I could use to put a rom on if that would work better, but I couldn't get that to work earlier. I just need to get my phone to a working state, preferably the stock rom.
Thanks
Try placing the phone in boot loader plug into USB and try reflashing with shipped ROM. If you had the ROM installed and have no service it is most likely that you need to *228 or what ever code your carrier uses. Also you may want to check your pst setting if that doesn't work.
But I would start with flash back to the ROM you linked and then do the *228 to start with.
Ok, I finally got the rom in that link to install. Its still not connecting to verizon. So Im switching to a pos flip phone and ill figure it out later

Unlock the phone with 2.31 coke...
Flash custom ROM...
Install Provisioning cabs...
Follow instructions on setup of data connection...
Profit.
Oh and do a lot more reading in the NFSFAN FAQ thread before you start.
Call verizon and tell them your phone froze so you did a hard reset if the phones telling you that it cannot be authenicated. It happens everytime you modify your radio.
Yes you will need to contact Verizon.

If you use the verizon web site to activate your pos phone, after it is working for 15-20 minutes, try going back to the web site and reactivating your xv6900; that should re-authenticate it onto their network.
Im trying to unlock my galaxy nexus's bootloader. my phone is in bootloader mode. i cant get my device to be seen, getting the waiting for device command.
i have installed like every driver possible. The whole android sdk with google usb. plus samsung usb drivers.

This is the best that I have found...... Have you checked in Devices to make sure you do have the ADB drivers or its it still showing the yellow triangle?

thanks! i managed to get it working. i am now rooted. One more issue... i dont seem to have service anymore???
i havent installed any roms or anything
thanks
I would try a reboot... remove sim... settings and search for networks. Other than that just flash a new rom.. Mine worked fine after root....but I guess it depends on the network.

It would really help if you gave some details:
OS
what have you tried
what happened.
If you're on windows Vista or later and can't get the device recognised - that's a common problem, install pdanet, that will pull all the drivers in, and try again.
Otherwise, more details.

I Just got this phone today, and the software version is 1.19.707.1 Singapore or Asia WWE I think so. I have read that this phone cant be updated?
What can I do If someone can give me the links to upgrade or any conclusive info on this software and phone. I see most people are on 1.29 and this is way ahead of what I have with 1.19.707.1
Other than being on this outdated software the phone seems to operate really good other than battery life, which is why I want to update the phone. I have been using it all day and nothing seems wrong as of yet? I didn't do any extensive testing just using everyday apps, so far no flicker or build quality issues that Ive noticed. It was made in China at least that's what it says on my IMIE information paper but on the back of the booklets say made in Malaysia.
Anyways any help would be appreciated if this is a non-updatable version why would Negri sell this phone, if so I'm pissed!
I just need a lead I have flashed a lot of Tablets and Sammy phones in my time but HTC is new to me. Any help would be really appreciated. Maybe someone can help me out here I did a search and read some pages and other people have had the same problem, but really didn't address how to update, when they updated they said it messed their phone up, something about 0% battery after they updated? So I'm really confused now on what to do. Once again thanks for any help in advance.
Might be lucky and have S off.
Yeah I wish, Even though I really don't know what S-Off is but I've been reading about it, full control of your phone, right? Sounds Like a more advanced version of SuperUser. This is my first phone other than Samsung.
Hold down power and both volume plus and minus at the same time and have a look. Only s off I have seen was a 1.19 software
Ive been reading is there any way out of this software or am I stuck because I'm pretty pissed right now. I've been up all night and it doesn't seem to be a solution!!!! My phone is completely stock. No S-Off by the way. I'm really PISSED OFF right now I guess there's no way to get out of this software version, unless I'm in Asia!!! They already have newer versions out in Asia I think 1.28.xxx and I'm stuck on 1.19.707.1 pre-release. So what now either send it back to Negri for a refurbish because of their return policy sucks, or can I even put root on this phone I read somewhere that I cant even root it, It will say that I have 0% battery life? I don't know but I'm mad as hell. How are they sending out phones with software that is beta - pre released? Someone on here who knows HTC devices get me out of this mess. This aint a good first experience with HTC phones........
EDIT
Ok I finally found some info I guess I can flash this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.28.707.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257076_signed.exe ---- I have a CID_40 Unit Stock no mods I hear its Singapore, but that file will work, I guess. The only thing is I don't know how to flash this file? Can any help, send me to a guide or link on how to flash these? I tried it while the phone was on in usb debug mode didn't work it gave error 107 I think.
No one else has had this issue? I might send this phone back...... I don't want to stay on the very first release of software, etc. forever. This phone is excellent in every other way no flaws at all. This is the last thing I was worried about before it arrived. I've been up all night trying to figure this out.
Yes same issue!! please let me know what you did. Driving me nuts. considering rooting and installing custom rom but would rather not if possible.
Anyone else?
would a factory reset help kick a update into gear?
lost.

If you have the RUU, just plug the phone in (do nothing special) and run the RUU from your pc. It'll do the rest for you. Once you're udated with the RUU you should see OTA's flow normally.
M.
Edit - I also found the RUU to work from fastboot as well. Hold Vol- when turning on phone, then use vol buttons to pick fastboot and power to select. Plug into computer and you should see it change to "fastboot usb". Then run the RUU on your pc.
