How to reload the default software back to HTC Excalibur

Hello,
Need your guys help urgently. I have a HTC Excalibur, but recently did not power ON for about afew weeks, and now when I power ON, it will just hang at the booting green page showing "Windows Mobile Direct Push Technology", and can never goto the main screen at all, suspected that the software corrupted.
Please help, I have tried to use the Activesync but it does not detect my HTC Excalibur. Is there any way to reload back the default software/firmware image back to the device? like BlackBerry device, there's a software application and can use the Desktop Manager Application Loader to reload the software/firmware back to the device, is there such similar way for HTC Excalibur? Or any alternatives to resolve this issue?
Please HELP, any kind soul expert out there to help?
Thousand of thanks.

They are 2 ways that You can get the bootloader screen back, by connecting your phone to your PC via USB, catch this {although the phone may look like it's not connected to your PC via active, but it is connected, you will not see the green Active sync icon on your PC at this time, but you phone is still connected to your PC via active sync}, understand this...!
Next, while your phone is connected to your PC via active sync, push and hold the camera button for several seconds, keep trying until the color screen appear {BootLoader screen}, should the BootLoader screen appear, You will have to install a 6.0 ROM back in your device, before you put a 6.1 ROM on your device.
If the above method should fail, this is another method, but kind of difficult, soft reset your mobile device, while your phone is coming back up, press and hold down the the 2 soft key {Home Key and Back Key} and the camera buttons at the same time, until the color screen comes up, you may have to try this several times, be patient. Should the color screen come up, install a 6.0 ROM back on your device before installing a 6.1 ROM to your device. These 2 method have worked for me and others in the past......!

[APP]Midomi Music-ID from Samsung FREE

This is the new FREE music ID software from Samsung Omnia ported to be work on any PPC.
I have found another ported version on another forum, but there you have to use WIFI as the network. But I hope you don't have WIFI in the places where you wonna recognize a new song as in your car or club....
So I modded the software to use GPRS/3G network.
In addition on other version I found it installs to the main memory, but you can install my version on your SD/Internal Memory/Device as you wish.
This software is FAST, Looks cool and FREE compaired to the alternative available.
Install and find more by yourself. Read the README file after installation.
If you like my work, buy me a beer.

Like the others: “Menu softkey does not work and freeze the application. Avoid tapping on it”
Different
the name: changed from “Samsung Midomi” to “ShiranMotha Midomi”,
and
completed with “DONATE” page.

Not entirely the same...
I found that I could only get the other version working on my Diamond2 over WiFi. On GPRS/3G/HSPA it simply returned with a "Network Error" message.
This version works over all the connections. Thanks ShiranMotha!

Anyone with screen shots?

I searched the xda-forum before posting, and found that
1. others needs to do the registry change manually.
2. the whole 4.5MB software essentially installs under WINDOWS folder in others.
Because I like installing in one shot and each MB is precious for me, hope the others would feel the same way too.

Couple weeks ago exist many posts on the net with this,
but only you changed the name “Samsung Midomi” in “shiranmotha Midomi”, and you want donation for this?
For me is irritating the donation request from you, for this software made by somebody else.
Anyway I closed this discution,
hope the others would feel the same way too.

Bottom line all I want to know, I will not get charged for using this correct? Free to download, yes. But charges on my bill are not.

Besides pressing the Install software button, which will delete all content, is there anything else it can be done?

most likely not, data is lost. but the wdrt should be able to recover
i assume you bootet it manually into blink/flashmode,selected my device doesnt get recognized and chosed the 550? thats the right way to recover it
if even the blink/flash modus doenst work its not bricked then its physically defect cause that flashmodus part is located in a place of storage which isnt and cant be touched by any update

Yes, otherwise it's not detected. When powered on, the phone displays the Microsoft text, the logo and then the screen goes black.

It's not my phone and I was waiting for some other suggestions. It's still under warranty and the owner might want to take it to an authorized service. It strange because the phone was not messed with, likely wasn't even connected to the Internet when it stopped working.

either the os itself ****ed up or its damaged
but the internal data is lost. no way to get them. just use the wdrt. you wont risk the warranty with reflashing it with the wdrt and if the device itself is not damaged it will work like it did before. if the wdrt isnt able to recover it -> rma it

I've got a little more info: the phone was running 10.0.10586.420 (version taken from Microsoft account - Devices) and crashed while starting the camera. It has been succesfully restored with WDRT to 10.0.10586.107 then OTA upgraded to 10.0.10586.545. For now, it looks good.

why was it stuck in 420 at all? that version is ooooooooooooooooold and should have got 494 and 545 in the last weeks.
and good that it worked (expected nothing else), and its normal that it flashed the .107. MS doesnt build images for every cumulative update (or lets say they never done it only for the 950 devices which were released with the .0 got updated images for the 107. maybe the 550 too? dunno if it was released that early together with the 950 devices)

Some people actually use their phones to make phone calls and don't care for 1 hour OTA update every three weeks. Besides, it’s good to be able to call 911/112 if an emergency occurs and not wait for Microsoft to finish installing bloatware. Personally, I still use an eight-year-old Symbian phone which never fails me. My Lumia is just for fun, not like a real phone.

sure, thats why those updates autodownload and prepare and get itself installed in the night when you sleep
just wanted to say with that: something was borked with the os, cause it hasnt itself updated to newer versions (or was never connected to wifi in the last two months...)

It's possible that it hadn't connected to wifi, it had a data plan. But what if the problem was caused by a failed update? Just starting the camera app doesn't break all hell loose on the OS, doesn't it?

[TESTERS REQUIRED] Retail Device Unlock - bootloader unlock for W10M phones

Hey,
@gus33000 and myself have been working on a new app, called Retail Device Unlock, it will install a secure boot policy (ie, BOOTLOADER UNLOCK) on any Windows Phone (that can get to w10m by any means).
I kinda have a lack of testers right now, and without testers the app release won't happen any time soon.
Please to note that testers must be using a spare phone that you don't care if it gets bricked. Said phone must be running Windows Mobile 10 and be interop unlocked, using either latest vcreg (if Lumia x5x) or Interop Tools (if not).
If you're interested in testing, or just interested in progress, head to https://rol.im/chat/rtchurch
Thanks.

As is listed above. USE A SPARE PHONE THAT YOU DON'T CARE IF IT GETS BRICKED. DO NOT use your daily phone for this. Follow all instructions that are listed by @gus33000 and @Wack0Distractor.
Do not post any cries for help due to bricking your phone. Let's try to keep this as clean as possible.
I REPEAT... DO NOT USE A PHONE THAT YOU'RE UNWILLING TO PART WITH .

sorry but what is the use of a bootloader unlock on windows 10 mobile devices ? there are no custom roms as i know and the only possibility would be some removed apps from custom roms or ?

There aren't any Roms now, because there is no bootloader unlock available yet. Once the unlock gets publicly released, the roms will start flowing.

Massive issues after upgrade S20 to Android 12

Does anybody encounter multiple issues after Android 12 upgrade (SM-G981B)?
The phone is unusable:
- App freezes/crashes
- Reboot loops (fixed by recovery mode + cache clean)
I even got the official popup 'Your phone has serious software issue, please check update' (obviously there is no update, I updated 2 days ago).
All was good with Android 11.
Anyone knows what that could be - and what could be the solution? Feels like alpha-quality firmware. Not sure if I can easily rollback to 11...

I am even getting this, never saw it before:

Your phone auto reboots after like 5 seconds of it starting, right? If so you need to unlock your phone really quick and start an app and wait 10 seconds then it shouldn't reboot anymore

I have G988N CSC KOO (S20 ultra Korea). A11 work perfectly. Some people got face that problem too

My cure against reboot loops was to get into recovery mode (google how to get into it by pressing VolUp+Power) and then cleaning the cache. Safe enough operation.

The update was available for me yesterday (I just searched for it) here in Latin America. I have used it for few hours without any wipe and everything seems to be ok...

Updated yesterday from Android 11, smooth, no lags. Cleared cache partition before and after update, but just in case - I didn't experience any problems.

Lags, stutter, loss of connection during calls and reboots. Cleared cache, restarted several times. Nothing works. Praying for a fix.

Factory reset.

Here laggy. Refresh of screen is laggy.
Solved: go to sttings, screen, and then select refresh slow, then select refresh fast again.
Although i see refresh fast in stting, in fact the phone is using the slow one. Switching it i have solved.
I do not know how many time this solution will keep my phone without lag.
Edit: when changing the refresh of screen, be sure to APPLY the changes in everey switch.
Re-edit: when connecting the mobile to PC and use DEX, the lag returns again. You have to switch again the speed of refresh manually to return to normal. If DEX not used, refresh of screen keeps high and beauty.
