Its russian so not really much use. We need one that says WWE (world wide english).
Not true. One can switch language from Russian to US english. Please share this rom. Thank you!
[someone please provide link]
ENJOY!!!
Thank you I will try this on my HTC S620

How did you get around the "invalid model ID"?
Did the trick with pof's SPL 1.11 work as suggested by johnnylavah?
Or did you just spend money to IMEI check?
It certailnly worked on my non-supercided HTC S620. If your device is HTC S620 regardles or the OS language it will likely accept update.no supercidding is required. DASH handsets would likely require CID unlocking for this upgrade to work.
1. run bootloader upgrade ( well, downgrade) first
2. run rom updater
This is "IU BUILD. TEST ONLY!" ROM.
Anyways...to get your English back after the ROM is upgraded:
Start --> Settings (Настройка) --> press 7 --> press5:
now, in the top most combo box (Кодировка) :
select UK or US English and press left soft button to confirm
in the next combo box select 3rd from the top entry: English Australia (Английский Австралия) and press left soft button to confirm
now, press left soft button 4 times to confrim that changes will become effective after soft reset.
At this stage you may power cycle you Excalibur
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Radio: 4.1.13.44_02.94.90
Model Name HTC-S620
P.S. You do not need to do anything about QWERTY keyboard layout. It's just plain standard QWERTY after the language settings are applied.
And just in case if you do not like default green colour of the home screen, there is one called WIndows Default available that looks a bit more attractive to me

So, just another beta ROM...
Nevertheless it's good to know that HTC is still working/testing WM6 for S620! Hope the final version will appear soon!
Dang - No go for my UK S620 either :-(
Is this an original HTC ROM without any branding?
Are there many differences to the T-Mobile WM6 (exept for the branding)?
Yes, original HTC, no extra branding. no extra bloatware. This ROM is very different to T-Mo DASH WM6 ROM. Much, much better this one. Great improvements accross the board.
Is it possible to go back to the WM5 ROM if the WM6 doesn't work out? If so how do you do that?
Upgraded fine S620 WM5 -> WM6
Hi all.
I have just upgraded from from WM5 on a CID unlocked S620 and all seems to be working fine.
Getting out of Russian is a little tricky, but following the steps in this thread worked fine.
TomTom works (as well as it ever has on WM5/6), UK Vodafone GPRS works, Hotmail and Exchange email working, Google Maps runs OK.
No obvious issues or bugs so far.
General performance seems to be comparable to the last WM5 ROM.
Cheers,
John
ahhh ! i tried it too - i have a htc s621 from rogers so i'm guessing it's because it's not CID unlocked? it says ERROR [294] Invalid Vender ID -any fix to this?
securegsm, can you help us out - the ones who are getting the error, my phone's app unlocked but it's locked to rogers. i tried 2 times but i keep getting the same error. how did you get around this? is your phone unlocked already or it's locked to some provider - if it is, how'd you get around the invalid id? i tried it - it didn't work for me

Hi Pedro
If you ever get a solution that works PLEASE let me know.
I have one of these devices as well and the bloody thing keeps slipping into 'divert all calls' without any input from me.
Also poor Blue Tooth sound is REALLY annoying.
Robin
Hi indra9110,
I now get an error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error.
Vodafone are bloody useless.
I have just spent 27 minutes on the phone with Vodafone trying to persuade them that they actually sell this phone and should support it.
The latest they have suggested is that they will replace my V1620 with a Qtec 9090!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a waste of time and effort....
Robin
I did the same when they gave us the qtek 2020i, we had so many issues with the devices so they gave us these new ones and basically told us that there is no support available for it.
They will just keep replacing them then i guess.
Pedro,
Trying to help, but really confused...
You're in the UK, so I assume you got your V1620 from them. I'd never heard of that, so I typed it in their web search engine and it comes up with... nothing...
You list your device as a PH20B2. That's what I've got, and it's a Blue Angel, so replacing it with a QTek9090 is pointless as it's the same thing!
VF UK did rebadge the Blue Angel (aka QTek 9090) as the VPx, starting sometime around a year ago, but only users who berated their lack of a PDA strategy seemed to get one. As you can see, it still has never made their website, comes up as unknown.
For your info, if you go to the xda-developers Blue Angel site, use the QTek 9090 1.40 WWE ROM (which includes the 1.12 radio). I can confirm that that worked on my PH20B2.
One quirk I'll also alert you to is unlocking. First, check that your unit is indeed simlocked, as some weren't. Second, "maimach's" universal unlock code works with PH20B1's but not the (seemingly rarer) PH20B2's.
FYI - I'm having some difficulty with the 1.13 ROM update, but that's a minor irritation, and probably something I'm doing wrong.
Hope this helps.
br
Well I have a Vodafone box with Vodafone labels all over it and all the details say it is a V1620.
As did the brochure.
But talking to anyone at Vodaphone about it is a total waste of time.
The problem is I am not savy when it comes to these updates.
I need something REALLY simple that says 'install this' and it will all work.
I have not seen that yet for my device.
Oh it IS simlocked to Vodafone but I don't care as I am ON vodafone.
Robin
OK, first port of call is:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
Have a good read of the how to's... print 'em...
I selected the Qtek 1.40.147 download, as recommended by 'jbn' who gave me the confidence to do it (top bloke).
Just follow the instructions...
Make sure you back up everythin before you start as it wipes the PDA.
Also, write down the Vodafone GPRS/CSD settings etc. Saves a call to VF helpdesk...
Takes 10 mins. Well worthwhile...
Any yes, Vodafone UK did release a device they don't understand, are too afraid to market mainstream, don't have anyone to support, and don't provide updates... There's no sign of a specialist internal tech group, despite months of trying. Something to remember when your contract is up.
I'm not bitter, but I was a little bent out of shape till I discovered this site! Now I'm OK.
br
I GOT IT SORTED OUT :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'LL POST IT WHEN I GET A LITTLE TIME I'M CREATING THE STEP BY STEP NOTES FOR IT.
Pedro,
Nice job. Before you go set the thing up just so, try and add the Radio 1.13 ROM, as it requires a hard reset. That will save you wasted time. Let me know how you get on. br
Okay have not done Radio 1.13 ROM yet oops, need to look into it.
Thanx for the reminder - any ideas on how to add it on it's own or do i have to do the whole process again?
You can just add it on its own - as in the Wiki link I sent you. I have not done this yet, as I made the mistake of putting everything back as I liked it after the 1.40, then realised the Radio ROM required a hard reset. Planning unfortunately really was the last phase of implementation!
br + good upgrading.
Thanks bossye....
There seems to be no plan by Vodafone to upgrade the VPx or V1620. Development of WM2003 does not have much priority compared with WM5 and there is precious little chance of them providing such an image for these models. Personally I am not yet convinced that we are missing anything there.
As noted, although these are the PH20B2 and differ slightly from other models that are more widely supported on this site (for example the SP unlocker does not at time of writing handle this model, but you can always ask), the generic images for iMate PDA2K and Qtek 9090 seem to be reasonably OK. I have tried both and currently run the PDA2K image. However I did not bother with the radio upgrade. I would only be interested in solving the problem of echo when used with Bluetooth car kits and this is not solved with that upgrade according to most users.
Pedro, the upgrade steps are documented in Wiki, including the use of the MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe. This may save you some writing.
Hope this helps.
i can't upgrade the Radio 1.13 ROM or anything now it's not accepting anything, it just says congratulations and do a hard reset but everything remains the same.
Does anyone have an original ROM for the MDA pro?

I am also searching for this rom. Who can help? needs to be original dutch rom.

MDA pro
Please can anyone with the original NL ROM make a dump and upload it
Thank you very much!
it seems that the mda pro has d2s commands turned off. So the device is locked from getting image dumps.
At least I have no clue how to make one with the current tools.
btw. How can you make a extended rom that can be used with the upgrade program. I want to revert back to my original rom, but it seems there is no possible way to do it.
Does anyone know the gprs settings for the mda-pro as it is not entered in the imate image.
ps I have the mda-pro dutch version.

OK I see most of the guys are dutch so I can ask...
I want to change the ROM of my Dutch MDA-PRO unlocket with KPN subscription to the JASJAR ROM, is it risky and does it work wel.
What is missing in the JAS JAR ROM, like maybe the Dutch t9 or any other settings does the video call work ?
What happens if there is a new JASJAR ROM will it symply install or do we have to patch things again ??
Rom Change
Churchill Why don't you ask WIZ and BarnOwl they know the ins and outs.
Good Luck
Actually, I don't know anything yet about the differences between the stock MDA rom and the Jasjar rom published here.
Except the fact that it has a slightly higher rom number, that is......
And because my stock MDA Pro is one of the most stable phone edition devices I used so far there is no reason whatsoever to change to Jasjar rom and void my T-Mobile warranty completely.
If there is a way to make a complete rom image then the situation is different ofcourse. But I have not found a way to do that yet......
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BLueAngel/XDAIIshangman
I put this on the BA upload FTP today, MDA could you have a look at it?
Here is what came in the description
Instructions for upgrading your ROM
to WM 5 Build 14343
At this point, there is 1 BlueAngel WM5 English Roms available: Version
5.1.1700 Build 14343
This is a BA GSM rom and will only work on PH20B / PH20B1 devices.
And it cant be made, fixed, edited or reworked to work on any other device
You need Windows XP and SP2 to make ActiveSync 4 work! SP2 is available free
of charge at any PC World computer superstore or direct from Microsoft.com
Flashing your device can turn it into a Paper Weight, this is your own risk
Flashing a Rom which is not from your carrier will void the warranty
The Partion Tool resets your Exteneded rom Password and you Will not be able to
lock you EXT Rom if you revert back to CE2003
I have not tried it out yet. The way I put it in there is in sort of a package form, the file rarsave has the original rar files in it and the folders are the unpacked versions.
Any comments or results would be grately apreciated.
Ok, I upgraded to this ROM, from what I can tell it is the most straight up almost factory version of WM5 I have seen, It is fast and solid.
The only thing missing is the Blackberry software, Enterprise or web. If anyone knows where to get that I would be a happy camper. Can you get this software in a CAB form?
When you click on IE for the first time it even says OEM version!!!
No branding at all.
are you sure this isn't the one which we have tried before?
Where did you get this rom ?
I think it is the first WM5 rom for BA, PDA2k_2k5.rar but I will see after reflash
There is no point to upgade to this rom i am right and this is the first one the same as this one
There are far better roms in the ftp than this one

language: USA
Download: RUU_Excalibur_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.15.707.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
Enjoy!
does this also work for the Dash or is it a s620 ROM only
I am wondering if this works on the dash or do I need to unlock it? Also, I am hoping this will work with BB Connect since it was released by Dopod just a week ago...
OK.
I am doing it now and I am flashing my DASH with the Dopod ROM. I was holding off on flashing with the test rom before and I didn't do the SPL bootloader upgrade. I'll confirm if it works with BBConnect.
EDIT: Looks like it doesn't work with TMobile DASH...It returned invalid model ID error. I am going to try and upgrade the bootloader first and see.
It didn't work for me. It looks like my dash needs to be cid unlocked first. I tried to do the bootloader upgrade and it didn't work for me. My unit just sim unlocked. How do I go about unlocking the cid as well?
Thanks
if you figure out how to CID unlock yours let me know..
if only spv developers would consider updating there spv services so that it cid unlocks the dash would be nice,?
MAN you are awesome bro!

BUT just one question how come you have not been able to get your hands on the tmobile dash rom just asking do not take it the wrong way please?????
does this rom only supports USA or also other languages?
what's new in that ROM guys?
IMEI-CHECK will CID unlock it for $38 until someone writes a free app to do it.
38 bucks its too much money ! rather dante to spv developers and have them update the spv services to be capable to cid unlock the dash!
is there a change log for this ROM??
Hmmm.. I get an error [294] invalid Vendor Error. Weird Cuz i can Flash the HTC Excalibur test roms with no problem..
Here's the explanation of the error from the rom Readme file:
ERROR [242] : INVALID LANGUAGE
ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY
One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.
So whats the difference in this rom and the test rom? How is it running any bugs? and the improvement

I have an HTC Excalibur and i still can't flash this rom. I think the ROM is CID locked thats why..
I have an unocked DASH and was able to load up the dopod rom. first you have to load up the boot loader rom thats and the ftp here, then loadup the dopod rom. I've had my dash unlock since day one from imei-check.
it loaded up just fine. the big difference i've noticed is that now when I hold down a key the alternate keys charater appears like in the tmobile rom. The font is a little bit bigger, which don't mind at all. I'm using the dash on cungular currently. i've noticed my call clarity is a bit better and the recption is better.

Hello everyone...I am new to this...
I have newly purchased a pure white SoftBank X02HT...
It is my second WM phone...
and it is the first time I ever think about modifying it...
I bought it in Toronto, Canada... The phone has already been modified...
and unlocked...right now it is knowing itself as a Dopod C730...
it is currently a Traditional Chinese/English...
however...there are still many parts that are English only...
I have no problem reading English...
but then there are songs that I would like to have in Chinese...
also...it does not have Chinese input...I really want to know...
how can I put in Chinese...
but more important... my camera is not working...
when it turn the camera on...it tells me...
Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device...
what do I do about that...?
also are Dopod C730...HTC S630...and SoftBank X02HT all have a different keyboard layout...? becuz right now there are some keys on my key pad...that does not match...it is not the English characters...but a few signs...
I would like to make it back into a X02HT or S630...but I don't know how to use any of the Roms...so please can someone help me...?
Thank you very much...
yes please
have a similar situation here.. I have an unlocked x02ht with the dopod730 rom and would like to install the Softbank ROM so I can use all the Softbank mobile features... but 1. where to get the rom 2.what is necessary to install it?
me too we need some tutorial plz help us
looks like we're all in the same boat though all the functions on my softbank work. I'm using mine on Rogers GSM [Canada]
Yes!
I had Softbank, turned it into DOPOD C730 to unlock and use outside Japan. Now I lost the softbank access point password.
I'm totally lost too ...
Mine start, but over 40 seconds after boot, this message ( appears and i can't use the cellular "SIM lock. You can still make emergency calls if you service provider supports it"
I've tried with 3 different SIMs and without SIM and i get the same message....
I think that installing a new software maybe will fix it, but ... i don't have any idea of how could i do it.
