New ROM version 1.11.405.4 (ENG) for HTC Excalibur

pof · Nov 6, 2006

A new test ROM for the HTC Excalibur is available on xda-developers!

Rom Version: 1.11.405.4 (English)
Radio Version: 4.1.13.28_02.63.90
Bootloader: 1.11.0000 (Sep 12 2006 at 13:08:40)

You can find the ROM on XDA-Developers FTP:

RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Test.exe

For the curious out there, the ROM is shipped in NBH format so you can extract it if you want to look at the ROM components, the bootloader (SPL.nb 512K size!) has a lot of debugging information enabled as this is a Test release ROM.

EDIT: For those people having problem in updating to new Excalibur ROM due to Invalid Model ID error, that is due to bootloader version on Dash. You need to flash this bootloader first and then flash the Excalibur ROM. Also, this bootloader CAN be used for flashing new ROMs on pre-production Excalibur devices.

RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe contains bootloader version 1.11.0000 (Sep 26 2006 at 20:19:20).

PS: I don't own an Excalibur and I can't test it so I don't know what's on this ROM, if you try it please post details about it.

Enjoy!

and if test fails? Any way to go back? The Original rom?

Pof, sorry, I would like to test but... I can't suggest. If someone can upload the HTC original ROM I will test the TEST rom

My ExCaliber is running a earlier, but, very stable ROM.

Radio Version 4.1.13.21_02.42.90

Be great to try something new ... I'll let you know how it works out and when I get the ExCaliber commercial ROM I'll throw it up here for you.

weird.... my phone is running a newer ROM, but older radio. T-Mobile DASH

ROM: 1.11.531.1
RADIO: 4.1.13.24_02.48.90

mattybaby · Nov 7, 2006

I installed it on my S620. Nothing new or special that I can find :/

loukas · Nov 7, 2006

Hey guys,

I just got my HTC S620 from Expansys TODAY, and you'll be surprised to hear that it is running the ROM posted in the first post of this message:

ROM: 1.11.405.4
Radio: 4.1.13.28_02.63.90

The phone is very stable and fast, with no issues at all. Very pleased with the OS (previous Windows phone was a slow Tmobile Vario). Plus the form-factor is superb....

I'll let you know if I run into any bugs. So far though (1/2 day of use), no issues....

What is this new ROM supposed to fix anyway?

If I install the ROM, will it complete wipe my device settings, data, etc.?

How good is this ROM? Is just the basic S620 SW with some engineer plugins? How easy is it to upgrade the ROM? Ive never tinkered with upgrading on windows mobile phones.

SecureGSM · Nov 7, 2006

ok.. anyone with radio: 2.4x.xx is encouraged to upgrade to new radio 2.6x.xx

2.6x.xx has sensational battery life.

Is it possible to upgrade Radio only? Can anyone extract radio from this ROM?

Slightlynorth · Nov 7, 2006

Hmmm, I have radio 4.1.13.24_02.48.90

Is it possible to only upgrade the radio? My ROM version is newer (HTC T-Mobile Dash).

In the positive, can you please outline how to do it?

Thank you in advance. I am in above my head ;-) but would love the "sensatioinal battery life".

mokla40 · Nov 8, 2006

back-up then?

Any recommended program for backing up the device first?

Thanks,

I believe, since this ROM is from HTC, you are going to have to CID unlock your Dash in order for it to accept this ROM since it was designed specifically for the S620. Haven't seen that anyone has figured out a CID unlocking utility yet.

You can getit CID unlocked at imei check. It worked for my dash.

ExTREmE99 · Nov 9, 2006

Wouldnt there be a keyboard difference? or will the keypad be the same with the unbranded ROM?

drunknmunkie · Nov 9, 2006

I have a SIM unlocked and CID unlocked Tmobile Dash. i went through imei.co.uk to unlock it. everything went fine with the unlocking process. I'm currently using the dash on cingular. I also get the ERROR[224] : INVALID MODEL ID when trying yo update to the testing rom.

I too went through IMEI.COM.UK to unlock my phone, it also stated that it would also CID unlock my phone as well.

As drunknmunkie did, I too moved my Dash to Cingular and I'm having the same ROM 'upgrade' issue as he has stated.
