Upgrade ROM from the SD-card ?? - HTC Excalibur

I have a Excalibur running Window Mobile 5,now I want upgrade to Window Mobile 6 . I don't know why but my USB connection doesn't work,ActiveSync can't recognize my phone. So, I want to upgrade the ROM from the SD-card or somewhere,is there anyway to do that ?
P/S : Sorry for my bad English,English isn't my main language,u know...

Turn on the active sync, OR run the app unlock...which ROM are you trying to upgrade too?

First,I need to solve the problem with my connection.What do you mean "Turn on the active sync" ???. I've already install MS ActiveSync 4.5,but when I plug my phone in,nothing happen...Only a pop-up appear,it's say "USB device not recognize" !
I'm a newcome,would you tell me which rom I should use ???

Ohhh Sorry...well install Device center...it is the NEW version...try that...I wasn't trying to say you were not smart

and I for sure reccomend 3VO... I am having a battery issue but other than that it is by far the smoothest and fastest

Device center download http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx

Yes, there is a way to flash from sd card. Please read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293387.
Hope that helps

Well,do I need to run Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS,SDA_ApplicationUnlock or something like that before flashing ? If I must run that,there's no way to comple because I can't connect my phone to PC..

ROM VER 4.01.16 ENG

install activesync from ms
then you should be able to sync
PW10B1 is a dualband phone and only works on 900/1900 networks
if the country where you are now have 900/1800 then you can only use the phone on 900 and if your cellphone network dont use 900 you cant use it at all

This will not work for you, cause you're heaving the wrong ROM and Radio-Version on your device. You have to follow this instructions:

tHANK fOR qUICK rEPLY
i TRIED THE xda unlock but allways give me the erorr message ?( error getting unlock code )
i think the seconed reply may help but i dont know how to use Activesync when i dont have cables and i mean no cables so all i have is my SDCARD
also downloaded specialnewrom1.2 and they said i can copy it to my sd card but dont know how
thanks
well asuming that you dident have the xda1 connected to the pc and ran the program to unlock it and it gave you that error then thats pretty normal
it would require the xda1 to be connected in order to unlock it
you get things to your sd card if you cant connect your xda1 to your pc by using a SD card reader which is plug'd into the usb port of the pc
Wohooooooooooooooo
Yeah i unlocked it ans installed new rom the special one by xda developers and it works great , woooooooohoooooooooo
going to paypal to donat
Thank u all for help n support

So, if you have no connection between your XDA and your PC you have to try it skipping step
5 + 6
In step 7 you have to flash via SD-Card
Step 11 and 15 have to be done by copying via SD-Card......
Should work all fine.
Only additional requirement is an external SD-Card Reader/writer cause most internal makes problems....

The ROM is the Operating system part of the device. The radio is the part that controls all the radio functions lilke the GPS, cellular services, wifi, bluetooth, FM and such. It is not necessary to flash a new radio, but you could try any one of several English ROMs. Check the link in my signature for a listing of current ROMs for the Touch Pro2 (Rhodium).
ok,thank you,can you recomend me some rom,which is the best?

On your device, go to Start >Settings > Connections > USBtoPC. Uncheck the box that says "Enable faster data synchronization." Then plug it in to the PC and see if that works.

In USBtoPC there is only one checkbox. The others are radio buttons. The checkbox should be under the radio button for ActiveSync. Make sure that box is unchecked and ActiveSync is the selected connection. After that, just tap OK and sync.
i tried that,it won't sync,can you recomend me something diffirent to try?
thanks.

Try it on a PC with XP Pro x86 with the language pack installed. ActiveSync should immediately pick it up and connect.
a read somewhere that phone won't sync with pc because i use this kind of usb cable
http://www.toytowngermany.com/forum/uploads/monthly_08_2009/post-25516-12505295946685.jpg
not the original one,because i don't have one,but i will find one.
could that be it?i tried everything,active sync won't start on the phone when i connect it with pc.

The original HTC cable is an eleven-pin miniUSB cable. I have only ever used the standard five-pin miniUSB cables like the picture you linked to since I got the device a year ago. In fact, I just built and flashed a ROM to it using that cable two days ago.
I'm not saying that that isn't your problem. Maybe it will work. I'm just saying that I have never needed it.
i don't know what else it could be,i connected the phone with pc once,and i hardslp the phone,then several days leter i conected it once again and active sync started i selected x beacuse i didn't need acivesync because i only wanted to charge the phone,tommorow i tried to connect phone with pc,i tried 100 times and i can't sync it,activesync won't start on phone when i plug usb cable in it,it only charges the phone.

If you already have Hard SPL, then you can flash ROMs directly from the SD card. If you flash a new ROM, it should restore your connection settings and allow you to start over.
thank you,that is so cool,yes i hardspl the phone,i will go and buy memory card,than i will install new rom,and radio.
thank you so much.

Before you tried MTTY did you remove the sim and sd card? Sometimes that works to make the usb option to show.

Impossible Conect to Active Sync

Hello,
I have a problem with my HTC touch pro 2. it's impossible to conect with active sync.
I run on XP.
I try different cable.
I reinsal active sync 4.5 without sucess.
I hard reset the phone too. ( no restriction with the other service, the phone recognize my provider )
The phone is a AT&T phone . the phone provider is " Base ,Jim Mobile " Belgium.
I try with two sim card
In the first sim card : when i try a " data connection " : " dialed : cannot connect for an unknow reason
For the second , in the com manager, when i try a " data connection " to On : answering modem has disconnected... and when i clik on settings it's possible to change but i have a windows with " there is a problem connecting to the gprs service registered home network "
I just want to have a connection to hard-spl flash . with a FR rom.
a lot of thank to yours informations.
If someone know how i can load the hardspl and an FR rom without active sync ( with a sd card for exemple )

I would say try another computer, try another USB port...
You need ActiveSync. You can undo HSPL and flash ROM's via the SD card... but to do the initial HSPL, you need to do it thru USB RUU.
I try on a laptop and it's the same... i connect a HTC tytn2 and it's work immediately.
i found some problem of configuration if you look after " AT&T " network configuration problem ...but no real solution with my problem
I try the bootloader mode but it's on " serial mode " no " usb mode " ( with the cable or not )
informations on bootloader :
security unlocked
RHOD100 32 M
SPL - 085 Olinex
( that last information mean that it's already unlocked and hard spl done ... i didn't know it but doesn't resolve the problem )
i try without sim card ...
when i try to put " data connection " on " . it's ask " network log on " " user , password and domain "
when i check thoses informations on my htc Tytn2 . it's no needed and it's connect correctly.
I flash the htc with a rom fr , i use the sd card method.
i have the fr rom , great. but still not connect with active sync
Maybe you have a bad USB port on the phone. I had one that would charge, but would not transmit data.
Is it possible that the problem coming from my pc ? because this phone is near from new ( some hours of utilisation )

You were already told to try another computer. If you have not followed the suggestions already provided, then there is nothing more we can do to help you.
I dit it. i just said that is possible that is from the registrer key ( i saw that some problems was resolve like that ) . i don't think you represent all this forum ... so if someone have another idea ...
found on xda ...Same problem with active sync but different htc ... the flash is done but no changement
Ok people, I've sorted it out ... Lucky me - no faulty usb port on HD2, no faulty cable, and, no faulty HD2 ... I've flashed a different radio from sd card, and also rom, and now - connectivity with my pc is - never better ... Even ActiveSync is working like it hasn't been in 6 months, hahahhhh ... Point is - it was my pc punishing me for playing with it's registry, few nights before ... I was really confused, cause HD7 had excellent connectivity with my pc, but HD2 really bad, so I really thought there was something wrong with my beloved HD2 ... Than, I remembered I've messed with my registry the other night, and deleting some non-existing pocket pc paths in it... So, I repaired my windows on pc, and now everything works like a charm .... What can I say - curiosity can have very high price, sometimes .... But - fortunately I'm lucky, as it gets

Not sure, since your phone isn't 'really' a Galaxy S4 Mini as you mentioned 'mtk6572' which makes it a clone. But maybe install the correct drive for it? But you'll have to Google it, since Samsung driver ain't going to work.
and what should i do right now , reset my mobile like , i jusy buy it
