HTC ROM on Tmobile Dash

[sunjay]

I plan to switch to HTC ROM after I unlock my phone thru imei.. folks.

I plan to use the following files HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship for the ROM and RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly for the bootloader.

Is this the latest/greatest ROM from HTC ?

Is it possible to switch back to the Tmobile ROM incase I need to ? Any special instructions for how to go about doing that ?

Thanks, . Appreciate all the help ..

U actually dont need to imei unlock ur phone, u can actually just use the excalibur update spl from jocky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605 . After u do all of that stuff u can load any rom that compatible with the Dash/S620/S621. I have used this method and flashed my phone with the HTC ROM, and the Rogers radio and it is way faster than the t-mobile rom, and more reliable. The only thing is that you need to manually install office mobile if u want it on ur phone. U can switch back to the t-mobile rom if u dont like it the same way u switched to the htc rom. One thing to remember about the HTC rom, is that u need to manually configure ur MMS settings, here a link for that http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/mms?ispId=&mmsId=&wapId=&contractId=235&countryId=37&networkId=90&bearerId=5&phoneId=1426&manufacturerId=41&mobileNumber=&incomingServerId=. You also need to configure ur edge settings too, but u can do that with the same link i provided. Good luck, and im sure ull definitely like the HTC rom way better than the t-mobile rom

Unfortunately, the HTC rom is not as efficient as the T-Mobile one because it actually has multiple language packs. That's what I noticed. Right now, I am trying to find a way to rebuild ROM packages using BuildOS.exe and CreateOS.exe but no luck.

Thanks for the good info..

I have already got my phone unlocked thru imei_check.co.uk folks.

Do I still need to run the boot uploader or I can directly proceed to update the HTC ROM ? (HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship ) ?

If I understand correctly, since i want to keep the option of reverting back to Tmobile ROM (for warranty reasons, in case I need it !), I need to use the boot loader you mentioned.. Please correct me if I am wrong

Thanks

I was succesfull in installing the above ROM, now when I go to Settings -> About .. I see the following "Windows Mobile 5.0 with Messaging and Security Feature Pack.."

Should'nt this say as Windows Mobile 6.0 ???

What am I missing here !!

Thanks

My mistake, I installed the 1.11.405 ROM which i think is wm5.

My copy of wm6 ROM 1.27.405.XXX is corrupt. Not sure from where I installed, if anyone is aware of some download area, appreciate if you could let me know .. Thanks

Ive got one problem with the HTC rom...
does anyone happen to know how to change the keypad to be US english? ive got the locale and language set to english (America) but if i go to use the (@) sign, ill get the english pound sign...or what ever its called.

also, i cant seem to access the windows folder from my pc any one know what i need to do to get it?

[sunjay]

Use the search function to locate a file called eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap

You may think to tinker this file. I installed the HTC ROM and observed that the '@" was being replaced by the pound currency symbol.

I eventually switched to Rogers ROM (downloaded from Rogers website) and all is fine now.

Thanks !
