I was just poking around the HTC europe site looking for the BBconnect v4 for the dash, and i happened to run across this.

RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_Brightpoint_US_1.33.422.1_4. 1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe

p.s. - if anyone knows a link or where i can find this elusive bbconnect v4 for the dash, PLEASE hook me up.

[caramelzappa]

Think you could upload the rom to rapidshare or something, since my Dash isn't HTC branded I can't register and get the download.

[mailos]

Encourages. Probably Russian ROM will appear soon:)

[jdhelstrom]

damn...here ya go ya lazy bastids =)

i put the spl bootloader on there too, if you need it.

[funkydude101]

what's the change log for this rom update? anyone?

[jhwo99]

Good and fast rom, but i have one problem after remapping the keybord.
He didn't reconize the "z" in searching contacts.

Is there a solution ?

Now, i have

were u able to download an update? what do you mean by "works now"?

[jt76542]

I have been running it since about 6PM and haven't run into the proxy error that I had with the Rogers ROM, yet...

Super quick though.

1. Windows update works now

It worked before. No downloads or updates available at this time.

Try flashing it to t-mobile wm6 then use Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS, afterward just flash it like any other rom. Thats how I did mine and I have the same error as yours.

[caramelzappa]

I've been running it all day. It's a bit quicker but nothing major.

[ashgotti]

Is this quicker than the Rogers ROM? Any reason to upgrade to this?

[crimsonblake]

Does the ROM support SDHC cards?

Any early verdict on better or worse than the Rogers Rom?

[snazzy]

It feels quicker than the Roger rom.

Hi,

i've got this ROM on my Excalibur:

HTC_S620_GER_1.27.407.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship

I'm german, so I want to use a ROM in german language.
Is the ROM mentioned in this thread suitable for me ?
I think it says ..Brightpoint_US.. in the filename, so it's for the US only ?

I do not have access to the HTC support area since my device is non-HTC branded. Maybe someone can upload a german version of the 1.33 ROM if available ?

Thank a lot

[chelsea_fc]

wtf! does anyone know how to get full screen on the esmertec java? it's quite annoying...anyway this rom is damn fast...

There is only the English and French language in this rom.

Quick question. I tried to flash it and I have the tmobile rom right now and I get the error 294 invalid vendor ID. What should I do?

[fruchtschwert]

So .. does there exist a german version of this ROM at all ?

Or does anybody know how to change the key mapping to get the german special characters ? In this case: are there other drawbacks ?

[crimsonblake]

does it support SDHC cards?

[travisc]

seems to leak memory faster than the rogers rom... could be wrong though.

I didn't notice that.

I have a question.

If I flash my HTC S621 from my Rogers ROM to this one, does it wipe everything out so that I have to reload all my apps and stuff, or does it retain my existing data?

It would be quite a chore to get everything going again, if this was like starting over.

Thanks,

[tmcdoniel]

hmm, I think I'd need to see some benchmark speeds rather than 'it feels faster' . Feelings can be deceptive, especially if it's a brand new install with a cleaned up registry, and without a ton of add on apps taking up memory. ;-)

[robertgbl]

I've found this new ROM to be an improvement over the Roger's ROM. The Roger's ROM required me to pause between calls (I'd get a SIM error otherwise). The HTC does not demonstrate this behavior.

I've also had a problem finding a new network when traveling and using the Roger's ROM. I don't know if the HTC ROM deals with this.

Google maps locator function also works with the HTC ROM, but not the Roger's ROM.

[johnnylavah]

aren't all roms fast after flash and before you (we) blog them down with all our apps? let me know how it is running in a few weeks.

[Technology]

aren't all roms fast after flash and before you (we) blog them down with all our apps? let me know how it is running in a few weeks.I have a boat load, plus a ton of multi media and communications apps on both of my Dashes, one is running the newly released T-mobile ROM 1.22.531.6 radio version 4.1.13.34 and on the other Dash I'm running the newly released HTC ROM, which I have not seen any type slow down, nor do I expect a ROM slow down. Another thing, also I have not experienced a battery drain. No Mr.johnnylavah all ROM's are not light speed fast when you first install them, but this new HTC ROM is still running at light speed with a "TON" and BOAT LOAD" of applications. Maybe you need a new Dash with a new battery, a known fix for the ROM slow down blues...........!:D I know one thing, the "RADIO" on this new HTC ROM is stronger than Maxwell House coffee............!:rolleyes: I'm still waiting on the GSM review..........!;)

Honestly using terms like Boat Load or Ton or Light Speed is a false promotion. The ROM is fast I give it that but it's really not much faster then any other, besides the TMO ROM (Garbage).:rolleyes:

[jhwo99]

Does somebody now how i can fix the problem with the 'z' searching in contacts ?

I hope somebody has a solution because i realy want to try the new rom.

[bobbyj]

Am I being silly or something, this is the HTC version right? As I have a htc brought unbranded phone, unlocked the works. and I upgrade from wm5 to wm6 from HTC own website, and yet when I try do this update it says vendor id error message.

[fruchtschwert]

Hey bobbyj ..

I saw, that you have access to the HTC members area ..

Could you please have a look, if a german version of the 1.33 ROM is available too ?

The problem you have sounds weird. Maybe somebody knows a solution.
For my non-branded Excalibur the unlocker from the forums here worked great, though.

[crimsonblake]

Upgraded a few hours ago and have fully customized everything and it is running much smoother than the Rogers Rom. I used have problems making calls that required a soft reset (on the Rogers Rom) and no longer experience that problem.

One major concern is the support of SDHC cards. I'm in the process of purchasing a 6gb SDHC card. I have my fingers crossed.

any updates on this problem? the keys work fine while texting, writing in word..is it fixed in new rom? i am using the old htc wwe rom on german mda mail, keyboard mapped.

[nutpants]

i was running the rogers rom and i had 22,000 KB free after a hard reset

now i have 24,000 kb free with the fresh rom..

so that is better..

as for speed? dont know yet

but i was sure the rogers rom had office software the new rom has clearview and acrobat apps.

i could be wrong about the rogers rom having office and word..
i have never used them.

nutz

[jdoggraz]

I do not know but for some reason this ROM seems to freeze a lot so I decided to go back to the Rogers ROM. I personally think that the Rogers ROM is a lot better then this new HTC ROM. Also, the Rogers ROM has the Office Mobile on it, however, the HTC does not have the Office Mobile on it.

[sedoy]

How can add keymap for input by russian(and I want use English keymap)?
I have eT9.Excalibur.0419.kmap.txt, in this file all russian characters

I modify in registry:
1)
HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
AviableLanguages=0109,0119
2)
HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayoutDLL
add new value
0119=eT9.Excalibur.0419.kmap.txt

But I dont know, what add in registry so that work russian input.
Anybody know?

[travisc]

i've noticed freezing too... i've had to remove the battery more times since i've had this rom then the whole rest of the time i've had the phone... (about 3 times so far)... lol

[snazzy]

I did too at first but it seems to stop and now everything is running smooth.

[jdoggraz]

I do not know but it is kind of wierd that it freezes, since you have more memory with this ROM. However, I do not like it for that fact, that is why I went back to the Rogers ROM.

I previously had T-Mobile ROM installed and have been running the new ROM with all the same applications. I find it snappier and have had no problems.

[jcubes]

Ditto, this HTC ROM puts the t-mobile ROM to shame... snappier and I just like it better. I installed office mobile from another thread here... used the .CAB file works good :-)

[chelsea_fc]

anyone know the registry setting to enable double press the end (red) key to turn off the edge/gprs data with this rom?? in the rogers rom we're able to do it...

This Bug has beeen solved in this ROM

No My yahoo application anymore, (good for me, just wasting space...), plus HTC Home works great on this ROM

Works fine for me. Must be your provider or network settings.

[estranged_inc]

After installing this new ROM on my S621 (this is the same as the s620 the only difference being the US power cord!) it does feel faster. Time will tell if it remains that way.

The radio does seem stronger and more responsive. I live in a poor reception area, having to drive through a dead zone on the way, so every day I lose reception at least twice. On the old ROM, it took quite a while for the radio to pick up the signal again. This one seems to pick it up very quickly.

Also, I sync with Exchange Server and have quite a large contact list. This ROM seems to browse and search a lot quicker.

In the upgrade, the update utility said I was updating from 1.27 to 1.33, whatever that means.

[dnunez05]

I just loaded the new 1.33 rom for my Dash and i am unable to syncronize to the microsoft exchange server at my job, it was working fine with my tmo 1.22 rom. I keep getting support code 0x85020006. I have checked my connection settings....Any ideas anyone???

[yattering]

Prior to installing 1.33, my Dash wouldn't recognize my brand spanking new Sandisk 6gb miniSDHC card. Afterwards however, it's alllll good.

Presumably all other miniSDHC cards will also work, but who the hell really knows?

I have a class 4 Sandisk 6gb microSDHC card on the way and I've been very worried that it wouldn't work in this ROM.

[davis2k]

has anyone with a T-MO Dash lost their Wi-Fi after the flash? Because I did and now I'm very sad... :(

[robertgbl]

I have a T-Mobile Dash with this new ROM and my wifi works well. This has been the best ROM that I have used to date. There is no question that my radio is improved - my reception is better than it has been. In addition, I have had no crashes and response time is very fast.

[lubs]

I'm about to flash from the previous HTC WM6 Rom to this new one. I do have a bit of a concern about doing so though.

This ROM isn't available on the HTC e-Club. No ROMs are currently available. Could they perhaps be working out a few kinks with this before re-releasing it? I would hate to have to re-flash in a few weeks.

Any thoughts?

[oowhiteice]

Has anyone figured out how to change the provider text on this rom? For T-Mobile, it now says Get More...

I am trying to remap the pink T key on the Tmobile branded dash that takes to internet / tzones, in the previous tmo ROM with WM6 the steps below allowed me change it. However, "short_IE.lnk" does not exist in the HTC ROM can someone tell me what this is called in the latest HTC ROM so we can remap...MANY THANKS.

How To Edit the Keyboard Link
1. Download Vieka WordPad.

3. Run CE Notepad on your computer and open any of the following files:
T-Zones Button: "\Windows\Short_IE.lnk"

CommManager: 36#"\windows\CommManager.exe"
Task Manager: 19#\Windows\IA_Task_Manager.exe?:TaskManagerApp

I took the plunge. It has fixed two very annoying problems for me. One is the reboot loop that I used to have to pop my memory card to stop. And the other was the phone ringing through my bluetooth headset when it was turned on.

I love the fact that it comes with JBed too. That's a big plus.

It's definitely faster. I actually have to get used to it because I had trained myself to use the phone with the delays in mind. I'm very pleased.

Another benefit I am seeing with this ROM is the battery life. Previously 2 days was it, this is with Bluetooth on but WiFi off, Activesync on DirectPush plus the usual txt, e-mail and calls during the day.

I am currently on my 3rd day of the current battery with 39% left at lunchtime.

[momentarylapseofreason]

Anyone else having the following issues with this ROM? I cannot seem to properly Sync. It shows the syncing is going and going and going.... but never syncs... If I disconnect the phone, it shows "last sync successful though"?

I have the OEM HTC S620 (not the T-Mobile Dash) and a Sandisk 6GB microSDHC card. It works just fine. I am using the HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90 ROM. You should have no problem purchasing a 6GB microSDHC card for your HTC S620.

Keep in mind that SD support is with the driver the telco provider supplies in the ROM, not the actual hardware itself.

route66 would crashed and would take memory and not give it back no matter if I clicked stop all applications. I removed that app and installed smart2go which doesn't seem to steal my memory. This rom is not perfect by any means but it does frustrate me lesser than other roms, including the Rogers rom.

[momentarylapseofreason]

Well finally got the sync issues fixed (did a hard reset and then installed Sync Center 6.1).

For whatever reason, after doing that and RE-INSTALLING the unlocks, it works! No more green junk on there and reception is friggen phenomenal as is the speed (when compared to T-Mobile's ROM)

What version of Live Messenger is everyone using? The included version has the annoying problem of wanting to copy over all the contacts.

I tried 10.6.30.2100 but it refused to install. I tried 10.6.33.0600 and 10.6.32.2100, but they don't seem to be integrate properly. The phone doesn't vibrate upon received messages and doesn't give the icon up top that a new message has been received, nor does the Contact text change to Send IM.

This is a pretty big inconvenience. :confused:

everything works fine for me...i dunno wuts up wit urs...

Anyone else know the file name to remap the internet key with the NEW HTC ROM?

[aakash]

you will have to edit some registry entries for changing the internet key, i have changed the jogger's outlook mail hotkey.. will look for this one and tell you in sometime..
The ROM is much improved then the previous HTC S260 rom i was using.. Anyone else noticed that WMP now can play itunes plus music(.m4a) music files??

Is there a way to shut off the ringer while getting a call (without sending them to voicemail)?

Used to be able to use the jogger to do that, but with this... all I can do is hit the end key and send them right to voicemail.

[jdoggraz]

Yes there is just go to settings and then navigate to accessibility and then finally turn the in call volume down all the way. Hope this helps :)

That's not what I am talking about.... I am talking about being able to shut off the ringer while it is ringing WITHOUT sending them to voicemail. Sometimes I want to ignore the call for a minute or two and my friends all know that if I hit the end button (we call it the fu** you button)... that I blew off their call totally.

[momentarylapseofreason]

On another note.. noticed a possible reason for the keyboard problems...

The registry keys are set as 0010409 in this ROM. Typical settings for English QWERTY is 0020409.

I have seen an occasional bug with this ROM. When I start replying to a text message the number-pad types numbers instead of letters. The 'abc' indicator up top isn't there when this happens. Closing text messages and retrying has brought things back to normal.

I also find the GPRS connection isn't quite as reliable as I recall. It wasn't perfect before, but it seems a bit worse. I'll have a good signal and an edge connection active, but programs, usually Java programs, have difficulty connecting. I find closing the apps and turning off the data and retrying usually works.

Does anyone have an idea of how to make the new text message program load faster? Everything seems snappy, but that's still painfully slow to load. It seems a little ridiculous.

Double tapping the joggr still works for me. I hear with T-Mobile ROMs a single touch did the job. With HTC ROMs a double tap is needed.

I have flashed my T-Mobile Dash in the US. After doing so I can't connect to the internet. I've used the settings given to set up the internet and every time I try to connect to receive my e-mail i get an "Error Synchronizing" followed by "The Remote party has ended this connection" (I get the second one while also trying to connect to internet explorer. I also cannot get the phone to be recognized by my computer or Active Sync. I have Installed on my computer SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab, & SurrealNetworkAppUnlock.cab. But since my phone is not recognized by the computer I can't get SDA_Application Unlock to read after the flash. Any help on these two issues would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I've gotten Active Sync to connect. Still can't get email or internet without Wifi.

It's weird, I had to totally change my GPRS settings to get my Dash to connect after flashing this ROM. I have another Dash still with the TMo ROM on it and the settings are totally different.

To get it to work, I just created a new GPRS connection, connects to The Internet, access point wap.voicestream.com Advanced connection options, internet connection set to that GPRS connection, rest set to automatic. Restart and it should work.

This ROM is definitely faster and better on the battery than the Rogers rom using the S621. But two issues:

- Theres an unusual "LCD" font that pops up in certain menus, and in the Comm Manager screen. I tried installing Opera Mini and it imported this wierd font and its impossible to see anything

- Since this ROM has no Office Mobile 6, is there a solution to installing and getting office mobile 6.1 upgrade to work? I tried installing from the cab file with no luck.

I have a Tmobile Dash from the United States, and I have to say that this rom is far better than the original Tmobile rom, my phone is locked, but I followed the instructions and had no problems. Here are some quick details:
-My wifi and data are fine.
-The big thing is that this rom supports SDHC cards (i tried it and it works with a 6gig card), which in my opinion was the only negative about the original dash.
-Jogger scroll works as it should without the need for additional pluggins.
-Memory has improved a lot, after closing down programs in task manager it registers as having 16,000-18,000.
-Overall it is quite a improvement, the menus are very responsive and I rarely have to reboot my phone (before it was almost once or twice a day due to lockups)
With this rom it really feels like its the next gen Dash.
take care

I am back to this 1.33 rom from htc from the 1.30 rom from rogers. :rolleyes:

I had forgotten that the new (1.33) rom comes with a driver that recognizes SDHC ... :cool:

So, I have been up and running for about 11 hours and not one freeze ... horray! :D

[JAmerican]

Love this ROM! This is the KING of Excalibur ROMS!

Only problem is that my Dash sometimes does not hold calls, get out of hold, swap calls or even is able to conference calls. Is that a RADIO update version issue or a ROM issue?

HA - discovered the reason for the freeze ... I had been experimenting with ActiveSync over BlueTooth ... this is what had been causing the occasional freeze. It just happened again (the freeze) and I noticed that ActiveSync was running ... had nothing to do with the ROM, as I suspected.

[dr_milodog]

DMC78, this is exactly what I did (keeping my fingers crossed the whole time)

1. download all the necessary programs and unzip them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605

2. A folder called "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS- JumpSPL" has the following instructions (credit going to jockyw2001)

1, Run the SDA Application Unlock.exe, it will greet you with "SDA successfully unlocked".

2, Turn off your Excalibur and remove the storage card.

3, Turn your Excalibur on and connect it to active sync/windows mobile device center.

4, From the Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS run Uspl.bat. Follow the on screen step by step instructions. Press enter through the prompts which you have already completed in steps 1-3. On your Excalibur mobile you “may” be prompted to allow "JumpSPL" to run, press yes. On running JumpSPL your screen will go white with the backlight on dim. (note all going well the screen will remain in this white state until step 5 has completed).

5, Now run the update RUU_Excalibur... or HTC_S620... update you want flash, everything else is automated. You’re done!

I wasn't exactly sure if it would all work, but hey it was worth the try, and believe me you will like the improvements.

Hello everyone.

I'm new to the forums and the whole "modding" scene.

Anyway, I was able to update my T-Mobile Dash to 1.33 [supplied in this thread]. This was about 10 minutes ago.

Everything is fine and dandy. I can call and receive calls. I can send messages and receive 'em.

The only thing that is bugging me is the text "Get More..." on the Home Screen. Shouldn't it say "T-Mobile"?

Keep in mind that I'm subscribed to T-Mobile and reside in the U.S.

Thanks. :)

P.S. Any links to other threads with more information on customizing my Dash? Such as free games, apps, etc.

[robertgbl]

No, the ROM you have loaded will work well with your T-mobile service but the specific T-mobile additions to the phone are no longer there. If you want them you must load a T-mobile ROM instead. You are now seeing a screen background designed by HTC. The background can be changed (search this forum) but it is only a visual change.

[fudger]

I am a bit embarrassed to ask this question but where do I look to see the version information?

In 'About' I have.

CE OS 5.2.1238 (build 17745.0.2.3)
Radio Version 4.1.13.44_02.94.90
Total Storage 58.11MB

You lot are talking about WWE_1.44.422.1_radio version

As my build says 17745.0.2.3, I can't correlate that to WWE_1.44.422.1

You know how on the T-Mobile ROM you edited the Short_IE.lnk file to remap the T-Zones key? All you have to do is use notepad to CREATE a text file that contains what you want the key to do (ex. 19#\Windows\IA_Task_Manager.exe?:TaskManagerApp) and save it to the Windows directory on your Dash as "Short_IE.lnk".

Hello, I am attempting the upgrade and followed all of these steps. However, the flashing process takes about 15 seconds instead of 10 minutes and when it is finished, mt phone returns to its previous state. Here is what I have in Settings>System Information>:
ROM Version 1.22.531.4

When I was running the RUU, it asked if I wanted to flash to version 1.11 something. Is this correct? I'm assuming it isn't.
When my phone reboots now, there is a bunch of HTC red text superimposed over the T-Mobile boot up screen, so something happened, I just don't know what!

I found the smartphone installer here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1lthgzyjl9j

... and the latest files from a DASH WM6 ROM, here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9scydm2bjoj

What worked for me is to:
install Voice Command from the first link
remove the lnk from the Voice Command item in the startup folder
soft-reset phone
in the Voice Command directory, rename vcbthag.dll to vcbthag_.dll
copy all of the files from the second link into the program files directory
rename the Voice Command item in the startup folder by adding the lnk extension back
soft-reset phone
delete the renamed file (vcbthag_.dll) from the Voice Command directory
set Voice Command options via the utility

This actually works to enable call & message announcements via bluetooth headset ... if that is how you set it up in the utility.

[rushless]

If I download the files in the link above, is that all I need to my T-Mobile Dash? I am on T-Mobile's system in the US. I am concerned because I saw a post where some have said they used the wrong RUU file on their first attempt.

Also, drivers are available to make the Dash work with SDHC, I am surprised a driver has not been released that updates this ability for all Dash's. That is one of the top complaints that T-Mobile gets about the Dash (its 2gb limit) in both the US and England. Seems they would sell more Dash's if they provided a driver upgrade.

Installed it and love it. i'm a bit upset that they took out pocet office and gave me clear vue document suite.. which i thinkis rubbish.

[minimo3]

The new ROM is working great, I love the speed and extra RAM. I do have 1 issue though - my email is no longer automatically fetched on a schedule. I have both Yahoo and GMail set up for IMAP access. Manual Send/Receive works fine. Both accounts are configured to sync every 30 minutes. I've tried deleting and re-creating the accounts. I also rebooted the phone after creating the new accounts. Nothing seems to trigger the auto send/receive? Is there any special registry setting or event queue manipulation I can do to make this work again?

thanks

4, From the Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS run Uspl.bat. Follow the on screen step by step instructions. Press enter through the prompts which you have already completed in steps 1-3. On your Excalibur mobile you “may” be prompted to allow "JumpSPL" to run, press yes. On running JumpSPL your screen will go white with the backlight on dim. (note all going well the screen will remain in this white state until step 5 has completed).

5, Now run the update RUU_Excalibur... or HTC_S620... update you want flash, everything else is automated. You’re done!

When do you actually update with step 5? Is it part of the bat script and a case of hitting enter, or do you actually open the 1.33 rom file?

I also notice there is nor reference now to disabling USB in Active Sync in the instructions for USPL. Is this also taken care of in the script?

Thanks

Anyone tried with 4gb SDHC cards?

[SirKeats]

i just did this this morning.

just follow the instructions in the bat... it'll guide you through the process. when you run the bat and it tells you to run the ruu... that's when you run the ruu.

it took me a couple tries for some reason. guess i didn't get a good load of teh .exe or something, but it worked for me on the second attempt after a phone reboot.

When the screen turns "white" (more like black or grey). When this occurs, go to activesync or windows mobile device center (on vista) and disable usb. You can find it, trust me. At this point run the 1.33 rom file. The installer will start and you should have no problems installing. If for some reason the installer can't connect to the phone, then you messed up between steps 4 and 5.

The instructions aren't exactly specific and I'd like to help redo them, but I really don't want to redo my phone for the sake of more explicit instructions.

Just keep talking to us and we'll help you get it.

[fudger]

I took the plunge and so far so good. Installation was easy once I CID unlocked.

In terms of installation, I did not have an active sync connection as I had CID unlocked and the screen was white. However, the update programme still connected to the device and done the upgrade without any issues.

So far so good...fingers crossed.

Hi guys, my fault but my first problem is that I can't have a UK English regional setting as standard so I am trying to find out how I change the keyboard mapping to UK English.

I have an et9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt file in my windows directory.

Could someone please advise what the UK kmap file should be and, what the registry setting should be at HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang

Thanks in advance.

Installed it and love it. i'm a bit upset that they took out pocet office and gave me clear vue document suite.. which i thinkis rubbish.

Have you installed Office Mobile? Works great!

I have got round this by editing the above file but it would be good to get the correct file and registry settings if possible.

Before I go through all of the fun of setting my phone up again with all of the programs (Live Search, vTap, Office, TCMP, etc) and emulators (Smartgear, MAME, Nester, Picodrive) I use, I am curious as to how much better it really is.
I appreciate all of your time.


I am in the US and use T-Mobile (have for years) and currently use WM5.

1) Will the rom actually allow me to use SDHC cards 4gb and higher? A key reason I would update to 1.33.

2) Is the radio also better in the US, or is this more an improvement for Europe. I have the rom the Dash came with when I got it in February.

3) Is wifi impeded at all?

4) Memory leaks?

5) Why does the USB get disabled? Does the bat file import the rom to the Dash and install it? Having a hard time understanding how it installs when the USB is disabled.

Thanks for your time!

1) In regards to SDHC, all of the reports were type 4 6gb. Mine is a 4gb and does not list as type 4

2) I can not tell what country everyone is from and the only one I can guess is the US is one from Chicago and the comment was general. I am curious that after using the rom, is the radio better than the original in the US. Specifics have appeared by people with Vodaphone symbols, which are Europe.

3) Missed the wifi comment- you are correct (wifi OK)

4) Memory leaks has had both response (yes no). I am curious if this remains a mixed indication or not.

5) I have seen no response in regards to item 5, though I have seen posts where people ask, but yet to see an answer. Disabling USB seems counter intuitive to an installation from PC to phone unless the data is imported to the phone. Just curious how this works.

What this step wants you to do is disable Active Sync connections over USB (not all USB connections). The updater software communicates with the device using other protocols and does not want ActiveSync disrupting anything. The updater process seems to work as stated - sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it going perfectly though ;)

If a 6gb SDHC card works in the dash it is fairly safe to assume the 4gb will as well. There are also reports that the 8gb SDHC card works flawlessly too. Pretty much any current SDHC card (8gb and less) works in the Dash/Excaliber/620/621 as long as you have the new rom.

I updated my Dash (still running Tmo Rom) with the just the radio in this rom..
I live in the USA, in NJ and I don't see much difference if any between the radio in this rom, and the original Tmo rom..

One thing I have noticed is that although the bars now show a higher signal in some places, the actual signal is the same as before..
I still get choppy signal, or no internet in the exact same places as before, its just that the bars are higher..

That seems to make sense, because tweaks would have minimal improvement on hardware, unless there are features hidden in hardware that are activated afterwards. The radio in the Dash is a standard and rather mature circuit, so I do not see how much improvement can be achieved, though there is always a chance.

I was hoping for some improvement, because I live in Kentucky and there are some "gaps" in coverage. Perhaps the improvement is something in relation to equipment in at least Europe. Unless the higher bar count is a placebo in relation to actual signal.

That would be great. My concern though is that most SDHC cards sold through to consumers (been around longer) are the 4gb version and I have not heard a report about them working. My understanding is that there is a revision change in the 6gb and above chips and is a reason for the gap of time between 4gb and 6gb chips under type 4.

Stands to reason that 6gb is okay, anything else should work, so surprised to see no 4gb reports.

Edit: I need to stop searching this forum on my phone- too small to view everything, after posting this and using an actual computer monitor to view the screen (less scrolling needed), I noticed a post by one person who said 4GB worked. Of course, no point in using only 4gb unless you already have one.

Oh well, I am sure I can use the 4gb on something. I will update and order an 8gb card. Only thing that stinks is that I have Virtual Pool, Smart Tweaker, Fascade, etc that I no longer have the codes for and Handango does not seem to be code reissue friendly.. Bummer. I guess I will result to other methods to get them working again.

This is a big reason that I use Google Mail for the registration address for all of the software that I purchase online. When registration codes are issues via mail, they are in Google Mail archive for a long, long time.

[rushless]

I have tried it and get to the point where it prompts to disable USB and then to run the RUU rom, but it errors out with a 260 connection error. I am disabling USB via the connection settings menu.

Where am I messing up?

Also, do I need to repeat the whole process or back to installing the rom?

EDIT: The only way it would install is by not deactivating the USB in activesync. It then allowed the update of the rom.


Thanks

I found the smartphone installer here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1lthgzyjl9j

... and the latest files from a DASH WM6 ROM, here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9scydm2bjoj

What worked for me is to:
install Voice Command from the first link
remove the lnk from the Voice Command item in the startup folder
soft-reset phone
in the Voice Command directory, rename vcbthag.dll to vcbthag_.dll
copy all of the files from the second link into the program files directory
rename the Voice Command item in the startup folder by adding the lnk extension back
soft-reset phone
delete the renamed file (vcbthag_.dll) from the Voice Command directory
set Voice Command options via the utility

This actually works to enable call & message announcements via bluetooth headset ... if that is how you set it up in the utility.Boggsie, you the man, this hack works like a charm on the new HTC wm6 ROM. Man, this hack gives the new HTC wm6 ROM a totally new deminsion, truly you are the man, thanks a million dude....................!:D

I am so pleased to hear that this worked for you.

Voice Command doesn't seem to get much love, but I find it irreplaceable. I especially like the BlueTooth announcement feature - so I can sit and work with my headset on and when I get an SMS, EMail or Call, I don't have to pickup my handset to know who it is from.

Unfortunately, the Voice Command installer that I came across did not work for BlueTooth announcement. This is the biggest reason that I wanted to find the Voice Command files from the original T-Mobile DASH WM6 ROM as I knew that BlueTooth announcement worked on that ROM.

Enjoy! Thanks for the feedback.

I dont know, for some reason i dont like this rom. When i tried it, it crashed on me a few times for no reason having to take out the battery. I dont remember how fast it is compared to the htc rom before that one, but the rom before does me good. Everything works fine and decent speed without an issue. I had lockups so much fewer than this new one you guys are talking about and when it does lockup, all i have to do is wait a minute or so and it unfreezes or i just act impatient and pull out the battery. Can someone actually enlighten me to retry this rom because i see no reason to erase all my important programs and setups to just use this rom again if its going to act a fool on me..lolz

Thou dare to blaspheme the much heralded HTC 1.33 ROM ?!?!!?

I initially had a several instances where the phone froze on the day that I installed the HTC 1.33 ROM. It bothered me to the point that I reinstalled the Rogers ROM. I realized that I wanted SDHC support, so I gave the 1.33 ROM another try and for some reason, after the second install, I haven't experienced many lockups; I know that I haven't experienced one in more than a full week of use. I use WiFi, ActiveSync via Bluetooth and have installed Cloudyfa Java for Opera Mini ... it works great.

I upgraded to this ROM from T-Mo WM6. It is such a huge difference in how the device operates. Its been 2 days now, and I haven't had ONE PROBLEM.
Menus are faster, and the Joggr is awesome now. Surfing the web is much improved. I've actually been in the market for a S630 Cavalier, but after flashing to this ROM, I might keep the Dash around a little longer.

For you T-Mo guys that are afraid to do it because you have the T-Mo 5.99/mo full internet 'hack', and think it wont work with this ROM, think again. It works fine, and has for me for 2 days. POP email works fine too. I can actually send emails from my device now.

This ROM is so streamlined, it has none of the T-Mo junk. As stated above, it doesn't have Office, but you can DL the CAB.

This is probably the best upgrade for your S620 T-Mo Dash. It runs great, and a BIG thanks to all here that did the legwork for all of us to enjoy it.

How is it that since I've installed this ROM and added Google Maps App. Google Maps is now able to locate my phone pretty accurately. I tried it on my Blackberry and it didn't locate my phone.

I noticed that too. That alone appears to confirm the radio works better, though the download speeds already did that for me.

Google maps says the position is accurate within 1,700 meters. Being within 41 square meters is not too bad.

[mmcolvin]

I flashed to the new ROM. What is the x with the circle around it that appears in between the icon that looks like a memory card and "G" along the battery and signal indicator line? I don't recall seeing this yesterday when I first did the install but see it today?

[tedya]

I also need to say thanks to all those who have done all of the leg work to make this ROM upgrade possible. I bought a TMO Dash from a guy at work who upgraded to a BB 8320 which is coincidentally also what I have. Anyway, I did the ROM upgrade, loaded the office .cab, loaded BBConnect and I like this 200 times better than my BB. I essentially have a WM6 that works just like a BB but much better. I might just sell my Curve. Everything runs miles better than the TMO WM6 Rom. Thanks again to everyone who has made this upgrade possible.

No I don't think you need to have anything special on the card (at least normally) - I think it's just a precaution that you should not have a storage card in there during the install. You mention 'Wing' here... but I think the software is only for the s620

Excalibur USPL 1.11 made by jockyw2001

1, Run the SDA Application Unlock.exe, it will greet you with "SDA successfully unlocked".

2, Turn off your Excalibur and remove the storage card.

3, Turn your Excalibur on and connect it to active sync/windows mobile device center.

4, From the Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS run Uspl.bat. Follow the on screen step by step instructions. Press enter through the prompts which you have already completed in steps 1-3. On your Excalibur mobile you “may” be prompted to allow "itsutils" then "haret" to run, press yes both times... On running haret your screen will go black with the backlight on dim. Now go to active sync/windows mobile device center and disable usb connections. (note all going well the screen will remain in this black state until step 5 has completed).

5, Now run the update RUU_Excalibur... or HTC_S620... update you want flash, everything else is automated. You’re done!

6, Re-enable usb connections on active sync/windows mobile device center.

Only at step 5 can you actually run the rom update pack

Ok I tried the SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab and the phone asked if I wanted to run the .dll file. I said yes and when I ran the htc rom .exe file, I still get an invalid vender ID message.

I think the steps look like this:

Excalibur USPL 1.11 made by jockyw2001

1, Run the SDA Application Unlock.exe, it will greet you with "SDA successfully unlocked".

2, Turn off your Excalibur and remove the storage card.

3, Turn your Excalibur on and connect it to active sync/windows mobile device center.

4, From the Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS run Uspl.bat. Follow the on screen step by step instructions. Press enter through the prompts which you have already completed in steps 1-3. On your Excalibur mobile you “may” be prompted to allow "itsutils" then "haret" to run, press yes both times... On running haret your screen will go black with the backlight on dim. Now go to active sync/windows mobile device center and disable usb connections. (note all going well the screen will remain in this black state until step 5 has completed).

5, Now run the update RUU_Excalibur... or HTC_S620... update you want flash, everything else is automated. You’re done!

6, Re-enable usb connections on active sync/windows mobile device center.

Only at step 5 can you actually run the rom update pack.

When I click on Explore in activesync, it goes to a folder with an icon saying My windows mobile-based device and i click on that. This is then the root folder right?

edit: it has folders like Temp and Windows in it.

Correct :)

Well, just for the heck of it, I decided to run haret.exe from the phone myself, the phone screen went white and then I ran the new HTC rom installer and it worked.

Okay.. new here obviously and only a few weeks old to the Dash. Reading your thread, you guys have pretty much convinced me that flashing my Dash to this ROM is a good idea. Especially on the performance side. However, I have a few newbie-esque questions and I am hoping one (or several) of you will have the patience to answer them :)

1. First of all, I've spent several days getting my system customized to my liking with programs, games, custom Homescreen, tweaks, ect. Is there a program out there I can get that will back all of this up and restore it following the flash?

2. Also, I am a T-Mobile customer in the US. I am curious if there is a way to retain myFaves. If not the exact T-Mobile software, then a way to set my five numbers as Faves?

3. I am assuming any software and games that works with WM6 or less will work with this ROM, is this true?

4 And lastly, if I feel like I lost too much in the transition.. is there a copy of the T-Mo WM6 ROM downloadable somewhere? I feel like I overlooked this somewhere. My apologies.

Thanks so much to any and all of you that answer my concerns. I am quite positive I am going to make this transition, I just a need a few clarifications before I make the dive :)

Is it safe to overclock with this rom, or does it become unstable cuz everything is already running at "top speed"?

[muthaflaco]

I've used OMAP @ 240mhz on this ROM to watch fullscreen video @ 25fps in xvid. Haven't even had one hiccup.

[jasonusmaximus]

I installed the update and everything appears to be fine, except I can't install office. I downloaded OFFICE.WM6.WCE.CAB from the link posted earlier. When I try to run it I get a message that simply says the installation was unsuccessful.

Can anyone help?

I think the answer to all these questions is yes: 1 & 2 I think so, 3 & 4 I'm pretty much certain. I think a search of this forum will turn up good suggestions to help too. All the best ;)

Have a look here:

there is an app that shows the letter dialing numbers
Thank you.

I was hoping there was a way to re-enable it in the ROM, but this looks good.

The one thing I seem to notice is that this rom appears to facilitate leaks. I can reset at night and not use it and have 22.3 megs available and then the next morning be down to 19 megs. Opening and closing roms usually result in losing a meg as well.

I used to average one reset evey three days to every day if not twice a day with this rom.

The good things the rom provides trumps this issue, but it is an issue none the less.

Give SKTools Lite a try. One of the apps on the pack is a memory cleaner (FreeUP RAM) that I've been using for a while now and it does a pretty good job at refreshing the RAM without needing to reset your phone.

Obviously it should be ran after clearing all running programs from the Task Manager.

[doalittledanse]

ive been using oxios memory to free up ram and it works pretty well

Someone said to try that in an earlier post and then he posted and said it worked. Its worth a try,

also note: if you using the jumpspl, click ok on the about page before going to the next screen. You know you did it right when it is a solid white screen.

I had connection errors too. The only way it worked for me was to NOT disable USB connection in activesync. THEN it worked for me.

BTW, does this ROM already have .NET 2.0 installed? I tried installing it from this .CAB I had in the past and it says a newer version is already installed. It also says I need to remove it in order to install my .CAB but it isn't listed on my "Remove Programs" list. Any way I can check to see if it is already installed?

Also, is there a way to easily switch between Normal and Vibrate profiles? With the T-Mo ROM all you had to do is hold the "A" key and it would switch between your last two profiles used. Anything similar with this ROM?

Last but not least, with the T-Mo ROM, I was able to bring up Voice Notes by holding the Home button. Where now it brings up Voice Tags. Any way to have it open Voice Notes instead?

Thanks in advance...

see:

\Windows\cgautil.exe

run it and it will tell you which version you have ;)

I tried that several times. finally I returned to tmo wm6, then re-did whole operation and worked like a beauty.

Thanks. I guess it does already come with .NET CF installed.

BTW, any ideas regarding my other two questions?

[ryahia]

I flashed to the new rom and everything works great...no problems. Except now I have no way to activate the camera and no camera mentioned in any menu. Even when composing a new MMS I can add audio...but no option for adding video or pictures? Has anyone else noticed this? Or better yet...fixed it?

Thanks.

Just to let anyone know that is interested. I bought an 8gb microsd and it works perfectly. I have about 1,000 songs on it and 10 movies (used pocketdivx to convert to 320x240).

The movies play silky smooth and no pixelation. Impressive.

I got the 8gb for $87 delivered via Amazon.

I also bought a 1550ma extended battery as well. It comes with a cover that matches the Dasy color and texture and has an HTC logo on it. The battery lasts as long as proportionally expected (over 60% more).

Battery was $52 delivered.

One thing that does stink but is good for the Dash is that the sound quality on the Dash is better than my Archos 605. Ironic, considering the Archos is a music player and the Dash is mainly a phone.

[SirKeats]

don't suppose you'd be willing to post some pics with the extended batt on. i'm currious how it looks with the larger bat and cover on it.

Ok, after enjoying this rom for a few weeks I am starting to get the freezing issues that other people in this thread have noted before.

I.e. Phone freezes, screen blanks, and then I have to remove the battery out and turn it on again.

After buying an microSDHC 6gb card, I have been using my Dash as an MP3 player (use Pocket Player), and I usually get the freezing issue after music has been playing for 45min-1hr.

I am tempted to reflash, but wondering how many people have been experiencing this.

Also, why is this happening. Is it a memory leak issue?

Sticks out about a quarter inch, but still fits in the belt pouch that came with the Dash and looks like it was designed as OEM for the Dash. Edit: It is an OEM product from HTC.

This link shows a $10 cheaper price- that stinks for me.

I have not had the problem using an 8gb card. I have listened to well over an hour straight music, and watched a movie (1550ma) battery was a good purchase. Free memory was around 20 megs. There is a leak with this rom, that is for sure. Then again, I could say the same about the original T-Mobile WM5 rom I had prior. This may leak a little more, but I use the PKtools freeram and that helps.

I use TCPMP for movies and music (great EQ control that works well). Try that and see if you still get the freezing. I use version 72r1, since it has more options for streaming and tweaking sound and video.

What is the name of the 8Gb card you have on your device? You are truly playing the game with power!

I just received my Seido 1300mah battery (http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=768) yesterday. The beauty behind this extended battery is that it fits with the original back door cover. It is a tight fit, but it fits none the less and I must say I'm very pleased with the batteries performance thus far.
