I'm running Vista and when I wanted to run the bootloader upgrade on my Dash I kept getting this message error. Error 260. anybody find any way around it? I've tried to manually set th ephone into bootloader mode, same result. help!! PS the error is supposed to mean "port already open" or "open port error" I'd really appreciate any help!
erro 260 - fixed
switches to my wife's laptop that had XP on and it worked like a charm. I'd be glad to assist anybody in the process od de-branding their Dash. Removing the ugly T-mobile paint logo on the unit was easy too.
ERROR 260
Sorry for thislong story....
OK, I've been on looking around the site for a while. I installed the WM6 Beta. I was looking for two days for the WM5 ROM only because I want the little things to work. Finally found it. But now every time I try to flash my phone ack to WM5 bI keep getting the 260 connection error. The readme only says to restart the comp and phone and try again. I have literally, no joke, done this 12 times in the last 2 hours, hoping maybe it will go. All the phone does is go to the green, blue, and red screen and stays there. Then the comp says it gets the error. I know it's connected because Sync Center syncs, I can look through the phone, install apps from my comp, etc. Also I tried doing the 'Update only' rom for version 1.11 or so, and it starts to go but then says its the wrong version RUU. Has anyone had this problem before? Flashing to WM6 did this once and then worked after.
I'm running Vista Premium, stock sync cable, Microsoft Sync Center for vista. All this is the sameas when I flashed to WM6.
There goes another 3 attempts, trying to change timing, reinstalling Sync Center, etc.
Decided to try it on my XP desktop, and for some reason, first time it worked. Maybe Vista didn't like it? Who knows..
Mladito Vista!!
Hi there,

WM5 to WM6 --> Problems at 3%
Hi all,
I've errors upgrading my phone to WM6.
I Can open the Wizard (it`s a generic to S620/S621), but in 3% i`ve an error.
I think thats my phone has a blocked CID.
How can i unlock this? i`ve tryed with tools to unlock, but without success...
Regards,
Emerson
Hello,
Welcome to the forum.
Your problem is that your phone is CID-Locked. Hence, you'd need to use a paid service to unlock it. I personally used the following service which provides instant unlocking:
http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/htc-excalibur-instant-remote-unlock-p-1452.html
I used a credit card, it's 39.99 $ - I was done unlocking and upgrading to Windows Mobile 6 in about 15-20 minutes.
Good Luck !
P.S:
Steps to install WM6
- First CID/SIM Unlock using GSM Liberty
- Flash Bootloader
- Install WM6 ROM (It will take some time for it to load so give it about 5-10 mins. it does get stuck at the boot screen for sometime but eventually it'll load)
- Install Office/Audio Manager
- Application Unlock your phone using SDA Application Unlocker
- Install the necessary software/tweak/hacks
there you go, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. also, if you use the search function, everything's available here.
Good Luck !
Here's the following links you require
1) Flash Bootloader
ftp://xda:[email protected]
2)here's the WM6 ROM:

here's Htc Audio Manager for those who want it:

thanks to jsp_m for the links.
Hi,
I`ve problems because my IMEI is from Brazil...
And in the site accept only 15 digits IMEI..
My imei is: 35*************02 (17 Digits IMEI)
Thanks,
Emerson
hey,
that's not a problem. everyone has 17 digits, don't include the last 2 digits when you type in your IMEI so for example
11111111111111102
just include the first 15 and submit and you'll get an unlock link in your e-mail, follow that link, scroll down to the page to download dashunlock software and download the .UNL file for your IMEI and then make sure ur phone is connected to active sync and it's green, open the dash-unlock program and then hit enter then it'll ask for the .UNL file, locate it and open it and your good to go - your phone will be unlocked then soft reset it or i think it's automatic and everything's set.
good luck !
p.s: in other words, don't include 02 when you type in your IMEI.

Emerson;
Read the second post from luckybandit on this thread. That´s exactly what to do to get rid of the "invalid model" issue. Download the bootloader, flash the phone, flash the new ROM and be patient.
My excalibur is also from South America, and worked OK. If you have any doubt just let it know to this thread.
Boa sorte!
Hi,
I`ve problems with the link of Boot loader....
Anyone can send the full URL?
Thanks,
Regards,
Emerson
Hello,
I'm sorry about the links not working, here - i've attached the bootloader for you. here's what you do
1) Run bootloader (attached file)
2) Run the WM6 WWE ROM
3) Run SDA Application Unlock
4) Install Office/Microsoft Voice Command/HTC Audio Manager
5) Install Tweaks/Hacks
here's a site that has some applications and tweaks:
http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm
and search this forum, there's tons of information, hacks - etc.
Good Luck !
oh by the way, did you unlock your phone properly?
1) Download unlock software
2) Download .UNL file specifically for your IMEI
3) Connect phone to computer and make sure the activesync's icon has turned green
4) Run unlock software
5) When unlock software asks for .UNL file, browse for it, choose it
6) That's it ! It should say Unlocking done and it'll reboot
Your phone is now Sim & Cid Unlocked. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. just do what i said first then post.
Good Luck ! Hope to see everything working for u...

Hallo,
my Wife Gift me a Xiaomi Mi Max Prime Helium 64GB.
She buyit from eBay.de and i have many Problems and i Hope every where can me Help.
i can Not Boot in EDL Mode, only can XiaoMIflash global Stable or China Devolper/Stable.
when i use Fastboot OEM Device-info every all False
i have the unlock SMS for Miunlock Bootloder.
but when i will unlock, come Current Account from Device.
but i have in the Phone and Miunlock my MI-ID.
when i geht Phone Find in my MI-Account come the Message : Phone Device Storage Corrupted.your Phone is Not Safe.
When i reboot to Fastboot for unlock and then reboot " Is Device Find" in my mi-cloud disabled...
I Hope in Help, PLZ...my Wife think She have a Fake Xiaomi buyit.
Try flashing the last stable (complete) global rom. You can find a guide how to do it on the Xiaomi forum's. I doubt it's a fake phone, probably just fake (reseller altered) rom.
The problem still exists, I have tried various global stable, china stable, china devolper and I still have "Phone storage is corrupted, Your Phone is not save!"
What can be more safe than corrupted storage!?
This must be one of many Xiaomi tools bugs...
I'm assuming that the internal memory on the mainboard has a hurt.
In the mi-unlock war I always the message "current account from device" and under the mi-konto always switches "Phone device" after a restart.
Every where a idea what the Problem ist? but Is the intern Storage a malfunction in the mainboard
Okay so long story short... I learned how to unlock the bootloader using the "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" command. I then used "Kingo ROOT" to root it while connecting phone to my computer.
Everything went fine, I thought.
Yes the phone bootloader showed "unlocked" and I was able to root the phone.
But I noticed the phone was acting very weird....
1. It was rebooting itself.
2. The wifi hotspot kept turning itself off.... (I use hotspot from phone for internet for laptop)
3. Sometimes after it would reboot in the notification area there would be a icon... like a package downloading icon, that would quickly go away before I could swipe down to see what was going on with it.
4. When I would open an app such as play store, then switch to another one such as firefox, then decide I wanted to switch back to play store it would lag severely, and also usually all the icons would disappear and it would just show the background image. Then they would quickly reload. Then playstore would come back up... but not where I left off... it was like play store had reopened, even though it was already opened.
What I mean is if I switched from APP A to APP B and had each one on a specific spot, then APP A should be where I left off when I switch back to it, right? But this was not the case. There would be a lag, then it was as if whatever app I switched back to would reopen and not remember where I left off.
5. My texts would take wayyyyyy longer to send.
There may have been a few other issues but I can't think of them right now. Anyways point blank: I was scared.
I have had a phone act somewhat abnormally before, but not this bad.
It was like it was hiding stuff from me. The lagging was awful. It was like when a computer gets taken over and becomes useless until you get it fixed.
Anyways so I then unrooted the phone, figured out how to get the bootloader to say "PHONE Relocked"
But how do I get it to say "LOCKED" like it did before I unlocked it?
I have searched for around an hour and a half and haven't found anything.
I tried the "fastboot flashing lock" then hit enter. Under the command it will show "..." for forever like it isn't doing anything.
So then I unplug the phone from the computer and it says "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)) finished. total time: timehere
I also tried "fastboot oem lock" but it says "FAILED (remote: Invalid command) blah blah.
I read somewhere that "fastboot oem lock" only works if your device is S-OFF
I then looked up what this S-OFF and S-ON means. From my understanding it's a way to protect the device from modification of files that control the radio, camera, etc. to prevent the phone from being "bricked" and whatnot.
So is this why I am unable to run the "fastboot oem lock" command successfully?
I'm not sure if the "fastboot flashing lock" works as I never waited for it to time out or anything. It just kept sitting there like it wasn't doing anything so I unplugged the phone from the computer.
How do I get the device to be S-ON?
I just want it to say "Phone LOCKED" or whatever it said originally.... help please?
The phone is a Huawei Ascend Mate 2 model: MT2-L03 running the B322 build. Android 5.1
Emui version: 3.1 if that matters.
Anyways thank you. I apologize if this topic is in the wrong area and that my post is lengthy or confusing.
I have Huawei Update Extractor if that helps. I also have the "UPDATE.APP" and "UPDATE_VENDOR.APP" files.
Hey everyone as i mention above have using the device abot a week more, since i get this devices i also used another Xiaomi devices no need to mentions all of them here, so basically it's not a new things for me unlocking, applying, and executes the UBL. day one i use the existing MID to loggin in the micloud/miaccount on my 5s (i've two old existing MID)both of them has permissions to UBL already.
Activating developer mode through setting, and heads to that options, activating debug, oem unlock allowance, and last step binding the MID in miunlock status, day one after many tries its still failed to bind with tost messages said "failed to verify, wait a minute or two, please try again", ok i leaves that for a next day, assuming that i might to hurry doing that. Next two days still gimme the same error, trying to find some post and thread to solve and try some of tutorial to fix that.
signing out the MID, and factory reset the devices setting up as new without signing MID on the 1s settup, log in in MID (Two MID) through chrome and cleaning all devices connected and leaves it empty (not even one devices left connected to that MID), entering MID on the setting app on my devices (try using email,phone number, just the ID) and activating the developer mode and trying to bind the MID in miunlock status , Crap its still gimme the same error (trying winth cellular/wifi).
Okay some told me to create fresh and new account with new number and applying unlock done 24X1 i receved messages granted to unlock. reseting device to factory setting, signing a new and fresh MID and heads to miunlock status trying to BIND the MID again its failed with the same error message.
I do have flashing the devices through testpoint EDL mode to make sure that i'm on official Miui not a fake one, (try both stable,dev, CN and Global) still no luck.. Please can somene here help and share me another guides, thanks
Please ask this directly in the English Miui forum. There you can also check if you still have the unlock permission.
Sometimes their servers are overloaded and it can take some days until they work fine again.

Did it, no attentions there, contacting mi global service through email 4times without solutions yet, and now seems they ignoring my email ni respons at all, F"#£K!!!
I don't know if you need to get a fresh unlock permission for your phone. If you do, then this can take 2 weeks after you applied for it.
Greeting you. This device firstly was stuck at "Mi" logo where "Android..." was loading. I left it may be week. Then I could get to fastboot mode. However, now it`s not going out from it. I can't unlock bootloader because it says to me "go so miui settings-> sign in" and etc. I cant even turn this phone on. If I could, I wouldn't even need this things.
So Mi Flash tool either not works. Firstly it says "mismatching device and..". So I've deleted that line from flash_save data_.. - named bat file. It now gave me next error. "erase boot error". So I took and deleted this one too). To see what happens. It gave me next error - which is in next line and all around. What a system! So, any ideas where even I am?
Well you can't flash it with fastboot without bootloader unlocked. You could try to get to edl mode. And then you can it with miflash. But U need authorized account for this. I don't have one but there are some guys that offers help for some payment. But be careful cause they want money first. You will all the necessary files to be download like firmware, miflash... Team viewer installed. He will log on his authorized account and flash it. I've seen a method without 3rd person help. But it requires some payment as well. Just search for flash without authorized account. To get to edl you will have take the back cover off. There are 2 pins to shortcl circuit. You will find the instructions on internet. And I don't know if this will help in your case of course. Maybe motherboard is broken.
I remember that I left it for a long time. Then I was able to hard reset it (may be?). Thank you for response.
