Problems unlocking a Tmobile Dash/HTC S620

So I have a Tmobile Dash/HTC S620 and as this is a work project to compare PDAs for our org, I planned to unlock it so that I could try various services with it and do a good comparison for my boss.
I went out to http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/tmobile-dash-unlock-p-1313.html and bought the $40 dollar unlock code, downloaded Dashv2Unlock.exe, followed their instructions and now I get a bloody error saying: "A monitor program prevents this application from execution. Stop the monitor program and try again"
I'm pretty well pissed off with it at this point, given that I just wasted half a day on this process and haven't fixed it. A quick run down on what I did to troubleshoot it:
1. kill symantec corp auto-protect
2. check permissions
3. run Process Monitor on it (see sysinternals.com) and came up with nothing.
4. killed every living bloody process I could get away leaving active sync working with using Process Explorer (again see sysinternals.com).
5. uninstalled & reinstalled activesync.
6. tried it on a different computer.
7. tried it on yet another computer that's not related to work.
and more, and more.
I'd like to note that after looking at the program, and looking at the signatures, gsmliberty.net didn't even write the program . It's orginally from http://www.imei-check.co.uk/dashunlock.php which I also downloaded and tried (hoping for a different version that would fix it).
My question is this:
has anyone else run into this problem? What's the deal here?
Thanks,
Rich
I posted the CSV from ProcMon and the orginal screeshot that shows the error as well as how far I trimmed the processes at one point.

So it turns out...
I went back and forth with gsmliberty and finally gave up with them.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk on the other hand was extremely helpful and after playing email tag we finally figured out that Active sync 4.5 is the problem. Use Activesync 4.2 not 4.5 and you'll be fine.
Rich

that's weird because I did my s620 last night with activesync 4.5 with gsmliberty. Also if people are trying to put the tmobile dash wm6 firmware on the oem htc s620 you have to follow the instructions in the official wm6 released thread. DONT USE the unlocker program that came with the gsm liberty file. You need to use the unlock program from IMEICHECK. Nothing bad will happen, it's just when you hexedit everything, it's being hex edited for the dashv2unlock.exe from IMEICHECK, not GSMLiberty. You UNL file will work with either or.
WM6 running here np.

I am running WM6 and purchased the unlock program and code from IMEICHECK about a month ago. Worked fine with WM5. Now I get the same errors as you. Are you saying that I need to purchase the same thing from GSM Locker? I still have my unlock code. Can't I just download the unlock program from somewhere?

Trying To Find a WM5 ROM For T-Mobile Dash

Hi, I'm new here so please excuse the newbie-type question...
I recently upgraded my T-Mobile Dash from WM 5 to WM 6. Since doing this, I have been in voice recognition phone number dialing HELL!
WM 6 does not like my voice even though I speak clearly and have never had any problem with any other voice recognition software. There's no way to train the software in WM 6. In addition, there is no dedicated button to activate the speech recognition phone dialiing application and the "home" button that you are supposed to use defaults to the voice recorder application and not the dialer. In order to use the dialer, you ahve to go into the voice recorder application and either record something or play with the settings and press the "done" key to get into the voice recognition dialer!
At this time I am very, very frustrated. I've spent hours with T-Mobile and HTC and no one can solve the problem. Unless Microsoft fixes this "bug," my phone is of little use to me because I dial all my phone numbers with voice recognition.
I'm tryiing to get a copy of a working WM 5 ROM for a T-Mobile Dash Smartphone so that I can turn my phone BACK to operate with WM 5 where I had far fewer problems. I've tried EVERYWHERE to find a WM 5 ROM but NO ONE, not even T-Mobile, HTC or Microsoft has one. I've searched on the Internet for days without any luck. Does anyone have a copy of Windows Mobile 5 ROM for T-Mobile Dash Smartphone that they can share with me?
Thank you in advance

wm5 is posted here many times... shouldn't take long to find it now that you're here.
i'm suprised tmo won't post it since their wm6 sucks so bad. it would save them a lot of returns i'm sure.
also check out htc wm6 since it uses voice tags as well.

I've done a search for WM 5 on this site and can't find it. Do you know who might have a WM 5 ROM to download or where on the site I might find it?
WM 6 to my knowledge does not allow you to "train" the voice tags. WM 6 does not seem to respond well to my voice whereas WM 5 had very few problems once I trained it.

hmmmmm. i was able to find it in about 2 min.
perhaps you need to try some different keywords like tmobile, rapidshare, downgrade etc.
i told you htc wm6 has voice tags... same as the tmo wm5 version.
tmo wm6 uses voice command.

PM me, I have the ROM you're looking for.

Lots of things wont work on my new Touch Pro 2

Hi there
Firstly i am a very heavy user of my PDA's but not very technical & apologies for long post, but cant find the answers anywhere else on this site.
Have been using HTC SIM free handsets for approx 4.5 Years now, and been using a HTC TyTN II for the last year, updated the ROM from WM6.0 to WM 6.1 then everything started going wrong so decided to spend the £500 to jump to the HTC Touch Pro 2 but am very frustrated and almost at the point of going back to the TyTN II or going to another brand of phone as none of the software that i had on my TyTN II works with the Touch Pro 2 WM 6.1, as follows:
1. TomTom Navigator 6 does not work but works on TyTN II WM 6.1?
2. TomTom Navigator 7 (Tried it & HTC Confirmed it will not work either)
3. MS Voice Command or any other voice command software does not work
4. Many other MUST HAVE programs i had on TyTN II WM6.1 also will not work now
5. Company supplied software wont work either,
6. It also wont work with my Landrover Freelander 2 PTI kit, so am forced to go back to a BT Headset
Surely PDA software OS 6.1 cant be that different from version 6.0 in my experience with the TyTN II as 6.1 just had small enhancements to 6.0?
I at least need some navigation & voice command software to work on the Touch Pro 2 as it just can not be operated safely whilst moving otherwise, and there is no point in having it in the first place if i can't get these two software types to work, which is a big problem for me.
Does anyone know what software does work, although i think it is the HTC TouchFlo Skin that is the problem with other programs i have tried this weekend, as it does not allow third part software to be displayed on the home screen easily, even google apps toolbar has probs, does this sound feasible?
Can anyone help me out with this or did i buy the wrong phone maybe a Touch Pro would have been better as closer to my TyTN II layout and functions?
Thanks in advance

TT 7 Does work with Rhodium, as does VC, everything has it's quirks of config. BT has always been a pain in the ass and requires different settings for different HFPs, Car Kits and A2DPs.
If you wan to kill Touch Flow, go into start/settings/personal/today and untick the TF.
There are plenty of threads and posts that will resolve most of your issues mate.
Search the entire forum, not just the Rhodium section and you'll get the answers you need.
Cheers,
Beasty

From your list of programs I can only confirm that Tomtom 7 DOES work, and it works very well. I'm using 7.915.9196 VGA
I haven't installed much software yet as Ive been a bit busy, but everything I've put on has worked pefectly. Admittedly I only installed stuff that worked on my Diamond which was also wm6.1

first of all sorry to hear you're having so much issues with the software you need to run on the phone. i have a kaiser/tytn 2 and software from that i have working on tp2. tomtom6 from tytn 2 does not work but tomtom7 defo does. MSVC does work as well but you need to get version compatible with tp2. look in the HTC BLACKSTONE forum as most of the apps from this device work with tp2. please remember that tp2 is WVGA res so that alone may effect the compatibility of some programs. the Blackstone forum is littered with programs that you may need that will work on tp2 and even better! can't really comment on your work software as dont know what it is! good luck with searching!
oh and i know it may be silly but make sure your phone is visible for BT purposes an use phone to pair with your landrover. mine works well with my parrot system with no issues!

What he said!

agreed that WVGA is your biggest problem. install "second today" to solve your problem with things not on the screen because of touch flo.

Hi Beasty
Thanks for tips, now i know what its codename is, it made it easier to find stuff on this excellent site after i saw your and other replies and have since loaded MS VC 1.6 UK Edition which seems to work ok although not tried it yet with my new HTC BT Headset.
In reply to the others thanks for the great info so far, i have tried loading TomTom 7 once again from the MicroSD card and it wont even load, its just says "this version of TomTom 7 is not compatible with this device" when i click "OK" it just terminates. I dont know what version it is till it loads?
A friend of mine this evening says that the closest phone on the TT7 compatability list seems to be the HTC Touch HD, and that CoPilot 7 actually lists Touch Pro2 as a compatible device, so i will have to try that i think and see if it actually does work, and will let you and the forum know
In terms of the work applications, i know they are based on the MS .NET Micro framework and so should work out of the box, but no they dont, but i think it is a screen resolution issue more than anything else.
The other app i need to run ideally is "Nimbuzz" Multi IM app, again for work.
On both of these work related apps i get an intermittent error message, saying "An error has occurred with xxxx appplication, send error report yes or no" when i choose Yes, it loops same message, when i clicked No it loops once then closes.
I removed the "Nimbuzz" application and soft reset, but still get the error message for it which is weird. So if anyone knows of a Multi IM (Inc Skype) which will run on Touch Pro 2 i look forward to knowing about it.
Work funded 50% of my Touch Pro2 purchase so need to get this all working as best i can
Thanks again for the tips, hints, instructions

Do you know if anyone has been able to get MSVC to work with the TP2 with a bluetooth headset?
I have tried both the US and European versions of MSVC 1.6 with my TP2. It only seems to work with the built-in speaker.

No problem sir,
We are all here to help each other, TF3D is a highly usefull interface, just takes a bit of getting used to, 2nd today and TF3D is a great combination especially when you configure one of the softkeys to switch between both.
Multi IM you could try BeeJive, not a lot of experience with this (seem to remember Elite team including it in their Roms) but there are plenty available on the net.

Hi All
Got MSVC working on TP2 but not with a BT headset so have just bought the Parrot Minikit Slim with voice dialling, although the voice dialling only works if you can sync the TP 2 with it just like my landrover, but it does not tell you this on the outside of the box.
Guess what? The TP2 is not listed on the Parrot Minikit compatibility list so may have spent/wasted another £70 today as cant sync the TP2 contacts with the Parrot system which is the same prob i was having with my landrover

Hey Alex...
I am sorry to hear that you are having so many problems and I have a fix-all solution for you.... I have a posting up in the marketplace, where I am looking to Trade a HTC Titan (Sprint Mogul) and 2 HTC Kaisers (AT&T Tilt's) for 1 GSM Touch Pro 2.... & I can confirm that TomTom 7 works on all 3 (I have the GPS unlocked on the Mogul).... Just think... 3 phones for your 1... What a great deal

Can someone post the link to the UK version of MSVC? I can't see it at the MS site.
I installed MSVC on my TP2 which led to a hard reset, so I want to be sure that I'm using the right version.
Thanks

"...i have tried loading TomTom 7 once again from the MicroSD card and it wont even load, its just says "this version of TomTom 7 is not compatible with this device" when i click "OK" it just terminates. I dont know what version it is till it loads?"
I've exactly this same problem. Does anybody know how to get around this and get it installed?

Wouldn't you know it. 24 hours of bashing my head against the desk trying to get this to work....I add a message to this board and 10 minutes later it works. Just used 7.915.9196 VGA as pointed out by stunno and remembered to look in program files after it was installed instead of repeatedly clicking on the original installer on the memory card.

So strange.
I'm using the parrot CK3100, and that's working fine, out of the box.
Just let the TP2 find the Parrot, 1234 as pin, and the TP2 recognizes it as a Hands-free set.
And it automatically started synchronizing.

My parrot 3200LS will not sync the directory either. It just disconnects the bluetooth device as soon as you tell it to sync. It works as a handfree ok, but its a pain to make calls without the directory.

Installing TomTom 6 on Tmobile TouchPro2

Hi guys,
I'm hoping there is a solution to this problem. I received ttn6 (taster edition) when I bought my Kaiser/TyTn II. I've tried to install it on my new Tmobile (US) Touch Pro2, but I get the error: "Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again." Is there is reg edit that will make this work?
Also, does anyone know who to remove TeleNav and all of the other T-mobile bloatware that came on the TouchPro2?
Thanks!!!

It won't work; it wants a QVGA screen.

can you use a screen resolution changer to change resolution first before running TT6?

There are ways to get TT7 to work, but the rules of the forum prohibit talking about it (since TT7 is not sold for PDAs at all.)
TT6 won't install and neither will the "Taster" versions, as they are coded for the QVGA screen and the CAB installer refuses to load them. If you can unpack and get them loaded manually (it IS possible) they WILL run, but will look rather "odd".

i have the tt6 version on dvd i purchased directly from tt last year for my SE p990.
I tried installing last night via tt home on computer to sd card, then put it into tp2.
it installed, but when it got to choose the languag screen, to chose defualt language for tt, i couldnt read it as it was too garbeld.. but i was still able to pick out letters...
i could always purchase garmin or other software, it just makes me mad as i spent over 80$ for it last year....even if the forum could advise on installing tt7, id rather have a program specifically designed to work..
upgrading from my SE p990 was long over due, and i am tired of crashes, unreliable programs, freezes etc.... the last thing i want to do now is start to weasel things to work for my tp2...i just thought a simple screen resolution change would suffice.. kind of like how you can change it on your computer...

I had the same issue, as I had upgraded from a TYTN 2, to get around I downloaded TT7 (7.45 I think) and used my legally paid for TT6 maps, this will work once you sort the bluetooth issue (2 files need renaming I think, easily done, search on here if you get an error when trying to run)

I used WVGAFIX3 by Cotulla, run it on your phone and tell it to use a lower resolution. This leaves a black bar at the bottom of your phone screen but allows older QVGA apps to be run.
When finished re launch WVGAFIX and put it back to full screen resolution.
A bit messy but it does work!!
Do a search for the program!

i will try that...it might hold me over till a better solution comes up.. or i get more $ to buy a better program...

What about iGo My Way? I bought that a while ago for my aretemis because Tomtom was so pathetic and I love this one. Would it install on the TP2 correctly?

IGO 8.3 works perfekt. Older versions may work, if you play with the settings.

Backstabbed by Skype

I am really disappointed in skype discontinuing their software for Winmo. What the hell are they thinking? Do they think that no one uses Winmo? Well I discontinued their service so thats the end of it. Anyone else with me?

ill send u the cab for skype pm your email to me

I think what they're thinking is that wm6.x is dead, beacuse it basically is. WM6 apps apparently won't run on wm7 and I can't see many new wm6 devices being released now.
So what is the point them updating the old Skype cab ? None really. And how much server space should they dedicate to a dead app running on a dead OS when I'm sure it's possible to find the cab file on alternative sites? I have Skype installed on my TP2 and it still works fine, so they've not disconnected us, they're just not updating us.
If I were you I'd place the blame more on Microsofts decision to ditch compatibility than Skype

I have not heard about WM6 programs not running on WM7. Backwards compatibility is generally standard. Of course, programs written for a stylus would not make much sense.

A friend of mine is working on Windows Phone 7. He tells me that its OS is incompatible with the former Windows Mobile 6.x
Interesting, he said, at the kernel level, Windows Mobile 6.x is based on Windows 95 while Windows Phone 7 is based on Windows Vista.

Thanks for the link, defaultdotxbe, but unfortunately I cannot get the software to work properly. I can make a call, but there is no outgoing ring on my end and I can't hear anything when the other phone answers.

Thanks, but I have already found the cab for it and its function is giving me a headache. I don't like using BT nor the speaker and audioroute didn't help either because when my ear touches the phone it triggers unwanted actions and when I turn the screen off, the phone becomes useless. Then there are 2 types of ringtones when I make a call - one of them is very loud, annoying and rings a few seconds longer even after the other line answers it which most of the time they ended up hanging up on me. The second ringtone is much softer and accurate. However, every call I make the ringtone becomes random which is very irritating. Then there is the dialing screen which does not respond well to my touchscreen. It sometimes switches to another tab when I try to hangup and then at time it freezes. Well, basically the cab is outdated and isn't working very well for me.

I believe that skype is the one that have ditched us. WM6 is still heavily used by many people, especially by us in here. Also, the new HTC HD2 in the US is supporting wm6 and that can't be ignored. WM7 isn't even official yet so why did skype cut us out a long time ago? Or maybe I don't fully understand how this microsoft OS thing works, but I'm still disappointed in skype.
