debranding Dash

[bkeaver]

Anyone know of a way to debrand the Tmobile Dash to get all of thier splash screens off of it?

Flash with the ROM posted in this thread. There are pluses and minuses to both. I like the S620 ROM myself. The only thing I miss is the ability to hold a key down to get the corosponding symbol. I don't miss the T-mobile garbage

how well does the rom work. is that the only issue is that you cant hold the keys down to get the other characters??

As long as you are WM literate enough to change the mms/gprs settings to work with your provider. Everything works great

are you refering to the post with this rom?
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Test.exe
making sure I am on the right track.

Indeed. I think it is the only one in this forum

Just follow the direction to the tea. Other than that there are never any promises. But more people successfully flash their ROM then don't

before i get started, what do i need to change speficially to work it with cingular?

is there a way to revert back if it doesnt go well?

I've done this myself with my Dash as I have changed from T-mobile to Cingular.

Make sure that you are CID unlocked. Do not confuse SIM unlocking with CID unlocking. If you need help determining if you are CID unlocked I've got one question, did you pay to get CID unlocked? If yes then you know what you are doing but if no then you are not CID unlocked and it will not flash. Getting a SIM unlock code from T-mobile allows you to use other carriers but you still cannot flash the phone with just a SIM unlock.

Flashing the phone is simple, plug it in, let active sync run and then double click the Rom file you've downloaded and follow the instructions. In a few minutes your phone will restart and all of the T-mobile stuff is gone and you are off to a fresh start.

As for settings, you will need to change GPRS and MMS settings like others said. The info you need can be obtained from hofo or cingular's website, it's pretty straight forward.

how do i go about CID Unlocking it?

[betilio]

I have an o2 cosmo in german. I know it is unlocked because I can use my cingular sim card. If I try to flash a new ROM without knowing if it is CID unlocked, would it brick my phone? or would it just not let me do it?. I have changed ROM's before on different HTC's phones but it seems like there is not a lot of reseach on the excalibur.
