Finally HTC have released the first WM6 upgrade for the excalibur! You need to log into the e-club to download it. The FTP server is overloaded just now though.
I tried to install it on my Dash but it does not work. Invalid model? I installed the Russian WM6 ROM earlier and had do problems. What is the problem here?
Help Please!
Im still at 50% download but if I were you I would try installing it again once the phone has gone into bootloader. Basically just run it twice.
here's a faster link:
http://files-upload.com/files/472108/HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
Thanks for your advice but it does not help. The loading starts and then it stops and tells that my phone is not the right device ie. invalid model error 244.
Is this ROM for original HTC phones only? If yes, is there a way around it?
Help please!
Thanks

I tried the above link and only received a 528K file. Tried to run and said it was corrupted (I expected a 40+ MB file as indicated on the file hosting download page). Tried it twice.
Still waiting for the HTC FTP server to clear up
Gary
just use a download manager...
RE:
Gary,
I took a network trace and see that files-upload.com is resetting the connection. This usually occurs when there's a configuration issue on the server or there's too many downloads occurring. I'm sure it's the massive amount of downloads occurring.
If somebody gets a successful download from either HTC or files-upload.com, could you please upload it to rapidshare.
Thanks,
Robb
Works On The Dash Like A Charm!

jsp you are correct, just flash the SPL first and next just run the download. This looks like the Russian ROM, WWE version. Where is Excel mobile and word mobile and MS voice command? This is the same mean Joe Green look the Russian ROM has. Yahoo Go 2.0 comes with this ROM. Check out the file folder called Expert,Task Manager is located there. Yeah, its working like a charm on my Dash...........!

NICE!!!! Thanks!
anyone noticed the RUS ROM has much better screen saturation? This one looks pale.. it's not a big deal, but just like it the RUS' way..
installs on vista with no problems!
This still requires a CID Unlock correct?
Are you referring to the homescreen and/or color scheme, or all the screens in general?

Ok so the first thing you need to customise is the home screen. I much prefer the recent app lists at the top so it is the first selected. Copy\Application Data\Home\HTC.home.xml off the device, use properties to make it not read only, open in notepad, and move the MRU list plugin entry above the Date/Time/Carrier Plugin. Then copy the file back after either deleting the original or making it not read only. Then choose a different homescreen then go back to the HTC one to see the change.
I've also attached the edited htc homescreen.
no, not the background files, but the screen in general.. it used to happen on Tornado that different RUUs make different saturations in the screen
This WM6 really looks much more pale than the Test RUS one, but I can live with it if I have to.. (is there any app to tune that?).. RUS was much more vivid
i have unlocked my phone. I got the code from tmobile when I try to install the rom it tells me invalid model? Any one else get this?

You just got your X01HT and would like to use the latest WM6 ROM in English with your Softbank account ?
Here is a quick guide, gathering information that has been exchanged and spread accross many threads on this forum (Searches can be fastidious, I know that well...)
I have been reading this forum a lot, keeping on asking questions to everybody, so it's time I contribute a bit to help by describing step by step how I switched my Japanese WM5 Softbank X01HT to a WM6 English device
This post is target at Gaijins who want an English WM6, but still want to be able to use Japanese with it. For a Japanese MUI or ROM, I guess Asukal will probably publish something
***EDIT: for a 100% Japanese ROM, you can now have it here: http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option...um_query=read,40,30486,30597,page=2#msg-30597 ***
I was first willing to cook a ROM including all these, in order to spare some space on my HERMES. I had already cooked an "intermediary" one when Tadzio issued his method to make a "shrinked" OS ROM that would allow you to use the spare space from the ROM
Since this, no point in adding all these mods in my ROM
First: making flashing safe
Download Hard-SPL-V2 from the great Olipro to avoid bricking your device. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Install it
Then, get your ROM.
Download the_passenger ROM shrink version of LVSW 20070320 ROM (More space available) and install it (Read threads about flashing ROMs if you are not familiar with that...)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8YJATBPG
Install the Softbank AP Settings for your internet connection. You really WANT that. Big thanks to itamae without whom we'd be stuck on first of April this year... (Or I'd still be using WM5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298031
Now you need a Registry editor
I am used to PHM Regedit. You can find it there for free:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
To map properly your Softbank Keyboard, do the following registry modifications:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 30411 (Hexadecimal base)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload] "Default"= e0010411
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1] "Default"= e0010411
More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286787&highlight=keyboard+x01HT
To allow the video Call key to appear on your phone keypad, modify the registry as follows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin] Enabled = 1
Optional: getting rid of useless trayapp (It looks nice... but it Slows down the Hermes and you can replace it with better apps)
Delete TrayApp key from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
Fix the disappearing micro SD (Doesnt really work for mine... But could work for yours...)
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPUnloadDelay" = dword:8196 (Decimal base)
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPWaitIODelay" = dword:8196 (Decimal base)
More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324
Now time to have your Hermes speak Japanese
Japanese fonts
Use the excellent work from Asukal, that you can find here:
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/LetsJapanNo5.zip
I did have a problem with it: once I executed it, I could not sync with my Exchange server (Quite a pain for my push email account...)
Asukal found the solution: edit the registry, and change
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mobem\CE-Star] "MyNLS" = "\windows\wince.nls"
Japanese input
Not using for myself, but these work perfectly (I tried):
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/BagojsINPUT.zip
*** EDIT
If you prefer a Japanese input without the annoying "Floating bar", ie just the same input way as your original WM5 Softbank ROM, just downlaod and install the "MS IME31 J" link from Asukal's page:
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/IME_31J_QVGA_F.zip
*** /EDIT
Silent mode switch
You're going to be missing the Softbank unique way of switching to silent mode (Only available in Softbank ROM)
The way to go around this is by using Vibra
Details available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277811&highlight=vibra
Download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31657&d=1164714506
MMS
Softbank's MMS System is a pain because it's incompatible with "classic" MMS systems...
You can download Softbank's software... But... it's slow, big, bulky, ugly, etc... If you dont mind missing the emoticons, you should go for MMSLite
Regedit, Look for Arcsoft. Delete all references to Arcsoft (Sometimes need to be done in several times, some entries being in use if you have by mistake launched MMS Composer once since your flash of the OS...)
If you dont do these eletions, MMSLite will actually not install...
Downlaod and install MMSLite
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33982&d=1170599400
It should work perfectly !
I you have enough courage (And ONLY after having installed Hard-SPL 1.11 !!!), you can try flashing your radio
You dont have to... but the latest 1.38 does seem to grant an improved battery life
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297925
Now you're done, you have a great phone with a faster OS, more storage space, improved battery life, that works perfectly with Softbank AP, can use Softbank proprietary MMS system, and can read and write Japanese
After, there are lots of other things you can do, like mounting your Extended ROM to gain extra space, Unlock the SIM, etc, etc... But it is not the purpose of this thread. Have fun reading the forum, it is well documented in other threads
Have fun !!

just read yourpost today...im at work and i cant wait to go home and follow each of these steps.
man thanks...this is what some of us gaijins are looking for the past few weeks.
btw,
you mentioned sim unlocking etc...etc...
you mean to say, sim unlocking is done after the wm6 flash? why would some do that before the flash?
Hello,
The only problem when upgrading is the Japanese input. I used sometimes (so I need it), but I I install Japanese input package you told in your post the I have a really annoying floating bat anywhere, and it's really unnoying.
There is no way to have same kind of input in enlish ROM?

Try Asukal's IME package (see bottom of page):
http://asukal.net/blog/?cat=8&paged=3
... it includes the input method from WM5 (or one extremely similar). I'm using it with WM6 Black Edition 1.2 and have had no problems with input so far.
As for other Japanese/Japan-conversion-related issues:
- I found that when the Japanese wince.nls file is loaded, .NET CF programs crash with a 'PlatformNotSupportedException' error.
- With MMSLite installed, I can receive MMS, but not send.

I actually installed the Japanese ROM you linked to, it works like a charm, but I have a question to SoftBank users :
I'm going to work in Japan soon (1st of April) but I want to use my Hermes as my primary phone, etc. Is it possible to go to a SoftBank shop and tell them basically "Don't ask me how, but this phone is SoftBank-compatible. Now please register it into the SoftBank network and gimme a standard phone subscription. Thanks".
Meaning how can I register my phone (SIM card ? I looked and they seem to have only outrageously expensive SIM cards on loan for 108円 a day, with no 3G connectivity. Or is it possible to get a standard subscription?)?
Thanks for your help

Really? I don't get a floating bar.
Did you try it on a clean installation of WM6, or did you install it after installing the Bagojs IME? Maybe some settings in the registry are causing the bar to appear.
Also, did you set your locale to Japanese in "Control Panel->System->Regional Settings"?

You shouldn't need to install both BagojsIME and Asukal's IME package, just Asukal's. BagojsIME provides an older version of the MS IME.
Use you own phone with SB
You can pick a ZERO Yen phone to do a new contract with SB. Then change the sime card to your onw phone. Suppose you have a sim-unlock phone.

I didnt have to install anything to get the Manner mode working. I think this is implemented in WMXL. But when i set the phone skin security to 1
my phone pad disappears, turns white. Renders unusable. The only fix for me is to set it back to 0.
This might be due to the carrier setting, it happens immediately after running SB external rom carrier info.
Any ideas?

HTC_Trinity_3.00.07.09.PV.rar
Anyone have a change log in English?
You can download 07.09.PV using the Official Download Manager attached.
Perhaps someone could enlighten us to the differences as this ROM seems to be the best and most stable compared to the all other Roms including Dopod D810 Official Roms posted recently.
Also, as a suggestion to mods it would also be nice if the Rom WIKI page was the place where everyone posted ROM updates / links so this list is more frequently updated - perhaps pinning the list at the start of this forum as PDAVIET does instead of having to scroll through the forum.

1. In this ROM the default Java applet is changed to Esmertec. But it doesnt seem to work very well with Opera Mini & Opera Mini 4beta. Both of them are crashing each time here. Can anyone confirm this or is it me?
Is it possible to uninstal Esmertec Java and install another Java client?
2. When i installed this ROM, the START Menu was black, but i changed the theme a few times to test some things. I went back to the 'Windows default', but the title bar is seablue/green. Is there any way to change it back to black? (Shouldnt be to hard right?)

I'm using Opera Mini 3.1.2 High memory version, and it just works without any crash. Maybe in the previus pdaviet release it was a bit faster, but I can't be sure because it depends also on the network I'm actually connected to.
Check the security settings of Esmertec, tapping on the applet and allowing network access without confirmation.
Ciao
Tried that, but didnt work. Is it possible to install another version (for a different brand/type mobile phone) on the P3600 that doesnt run on Java?
If you go to operamini.com, does the site recognize your phone? It didnt work here, so i think i have a 'global' version installed that works for most phones.
Does anyone know how to setup MMS account in this ROM.
There there isn't any tab to manage ports and urls for MMS like in previous versions.
Device Locked
After a reset my trinity stuck on windows startup screen.
I think it's related to the new Kaiser HomePlug.
If you don't have any suggestions, I have to do an hard reset and reinstall 3.00.07.08

Yes, you need one of the HTC_Default themes in the ROM - not the Windows Default. I in fact love the seablue/green - with the black "vista" background on today screen and the HTC Homeplug. it's not the boring blue - the colour brightens it up a bit - without the HTC vomit green

oops, I was sure I had it load the 12 butt by default.
I will take a look tomorrow.
The error is because the 6 butt can't display 12 butt.
Try going into advanced config and then 'Menu' comm man settings, and change it to default.
If that doesn't work, install the cab of choice from this link, and that should fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1416883

If the error is when you do the AutoDetect in RUUWrapper.exe, Forguet that.
assigne in the RUUWrapper.exe your [SPL] and the [Is it Hard-SPL], and push Next.
The last Pandora Tools have something where RUUWrapper.exe not detect the SPL!!!

That's how this place is supposed to work.
But when you have a bunch of donation driven cooks looking to out do the next guy, this place can display a real ugly side.
Thanks RanDomIze,
I never noticed that error,
because I never use Auto Detect.
Infact, from a suggestion from Sleuth255 to someone alongtime back, I often flash with my device in bootloader.
@berdinkerdickle
K you see if ior battery icon link to the battery status screen??
In my ROM i have this problem and for wt i see in the last Pandora tools to.
Thx
same here,
my battery icon does not link to the battery status either.
never noticed before,
I use date and time in Titlebar.

6 -8 months ago when I started reading the Hermes forum, there was flaming all over the place, and ego's to match. Not to name any names - but a most of them are no longer here. I'm happy to say it's improved SIGNIFICANTLY over the past few months - and I'm happy to see berdinkerdickle, RanDomIze, and others working hard because it's FUN and a CHALLENGE to work on fixes and new stuff for our devices. Thank you!!!

Sorry guys if the zip has been giving you trouble.
I use TugZip - it's free

If others keep having trouble with the zip, I will upload a different one tomorrow.
also,
I think the mirror from character was an earlier release, befor I fixed comm man.

TugZip worked perfectly, thanks for updating so soon. I'm excited about this ROM; it's lite as a feather and has the dialer I prefer. Thank you very much!
Edit: I flashed, and it just hangs on the Windows Mobile screen during the initial boot up. I tried a soft reset; that didn't work, just hangs there (I forgot about it for 10 minutes and it was still there). I then put it into bootloader mode (I'm not sure if thats correct, I'm still semi-noob... where you hold the PWR and OK buttons and soft reset?), and was able to flash it like that, but got the same issue. I have Firefox open, but that's something I've done almost always when flashing (this site's addicting... 3 times in the last week alone!). Anything else you could recommend? I am running Vista (but have flashed many a time with it, followed MrVanx's guide to set it up).

Tmobile Trigger Mail
Ricky,
First, thank you, Wish I had your skills. Do you think there is anyway you could work the Tmobile Email triggers in to a ROM? I have tried to make things work but just can't figure it out. I know the registry settings should be as follows;
"@ = (Default) key"
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E85FD9C3-4F5E-4c75-8C21-0F850274DEF5}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E85FD9C3-4F5E-4c75-8C21-0F850274DEF5}\InProcServer32
@="TmMapirule.dll"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\TMO
"Prefix"="TMO"
"Keep"=dword:00000001
"Order"=dword:0000000a
"Index"=dword:00000000

"{E85FD9C3-4F5E-4c75-8C21-0F850274DEF5}"=dword:00000001
I have all of the WM5 files and can load them up some where.

HI, Just flashed .24 and when setting up MMS there isn't a max size selection > 100K. This should allow up to 300K in size. What's up?

This issue has been addressed in various posts throughout the forum. Next time just try to use the search feature and you may find the answer to what you seek. Anywho, here are the instructions to increase your MMS sending size limit...
1) Using a registry editor (such as Resco Registry, Total Commander) you'll need to edit a couple of registry values.
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)\SOFTWARE\ArcSoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\MMSCSetting\T-Mo MMS (whatever you've named your MMS GPRS setting)
3) Change "WAP1SendDefaultSize" from '102400' to '307200'. Also, change "WAP2SendDefaultSize" from '102400' to '307200'. After making these changes--reboot the phone.
4) Your MMS messages should now allow you to increase your sending size to 300K.
Thanks!!!

Hello everyone,
Im trying to update to 6.1 using RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_Opera
I have read the FAQ's that rickywatt posted , but I am still confused and im not sure about the steps that follow after unlocking the Dash. I have downloaded SDA application unlock and SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab and of course Ricky's RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_Opera

i did the following:
"... install SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab to your phone then extract
SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe from SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip then
connect usb from computer to your phone wait for ActiveSync to connect once
connected run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe then click remove lock then reboot phone ..."
I have no idea what to do after that
the v24 (RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_Opera includes RUU_signed.nbh
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Rapitool.exe
EnterBootloader.exe and Auto.Bat
Can someone help, as to tell me what exactly i should do now?
I did searched, I went on you tube and nothing.
Thanks.

Double-Click on the auto.bat file. Follow the instructions in the Prompt (black) box, to the T.

What he really means is keep hitting your space bar. The grammar in that auto.bat file is confusing at first -- I thought I had to follow the instructions and manually run the programs the .bat file was talking about. No, instead the only action you really have to take (other than connecting your phone) is hitting the center button once to get to the white screen; the rest just happens with you pressing any key to keep the batch file going.
Hey folks,
Not that I am not please with 6.1, but how can I roll back to version 6.0?
Anyone know how/if its possible to roll back?

It will work, but the language and keyboard would be in English.
Works like a charm thank!
Here's a new ROM for the Excalibur cooked on the new 20282 core and the system partition from the newest HTC smartphone, the S740 "Rose".
This is a WWE (world wide English) only ROM.
Applications included in this ROM are:
- HTC Album
- Tegic T9 with English available
- TMobile Dash keyboard layout file by default
- Adobe Reader LE
- HTC Audio Manager
- Automatic GPRS settings application
- Windows Live
- Windows Live Messenger
- HTC Streaming Media
- Office Mobile
- HTC Weather
- The new HTC dialer application
- HTC CommManager
- This ROM is "UC" (user customization) capable!
- Chome Configurator
- So much more...
This ROM includes the new sliding panels from HTC, which open up a world of opportunities for customization.
INSTRUCTIONS for flashing:
1. Run the downloaded exe. It should automatically unpack and present a black command prompt window.
2. Make sure you remove your storage card from the phone before the next steps.
3 .Follow the instructions in the black window. Do NOT reboot when the SDA unlocker tells you to reboot the phone. It's not necessary.
4. You might get a prompt asking you if you want to run the spl program. Just say yes. At that point you should get a white screen.
5. If for any reason you're not seeing a white screen, you did something wrong and you need to try again.
6. Flash the ROM following the instructions in the flashing utility.
You can expect the phone to be "stuck" on the HTC logo for about 2 1/2 minutes the first time. After that, it should only take about 40-45 seconds for the phone to reboot.
INSTRUCTIONS for recovery in case something goes wrong:
Turn your phone completely off. Pushing the camera button in, plug in your usb cable. The tricolor, bootloader screen will come up and you can flash your regular OEM ROM which can be downloaded from one of the stickies.
I recommend flashing the modified bootloader made by jockeyw2001. It's attached to this post.
What it does is, it CID unlocks your phone, so you don't have to use the softSPL everytime you want to flash a ROM. It also makes recovery from a bad flash much easier, where you dont have to hunt for your original manufacturer's ROM to load in order to resurect the phone.[/CENTER]

I'll wait for teh superlite before I test it though.
many thanks for this...
Appreciate it.
If you guys/gals find any bugs, NOW is the time to report them, before I release the next version... Thanks.
Nice rom, it seems really fast man. Thanks for this once again.
USA t9 on ROM seem to have problems? here's the solution:

Thanks for putting this out! The ROM does seem a bit quicker and I'm not seeing any bugs.
Wow, I'm still running Rick's Kavana Remake V18... I've been waiting until most of the bugs have been worked out, but now that you mention a superlite version tempts me even more. Keep up the good work man!

Hmm interesting. I installed that cab over 1.4 and the tab key DID behave like it's supposed to. I will make sure to integrate this fix in the next release (including the lite release).
I went to find the t9 file mainly because there was no predictive text showing up for me after I flashed this ROM twice. No matter the cause, this seemed to fix it up. One other thing though, the ROM doesn't seem to make any changes when I add the cpr entry to make it show the day of the week, is there something I'm doing wrong?
Last 'problem' is whenever I choose Chome slim, I never have gotten a slim programs list like I see in your screens. Does my phone hate me?
Thanks for your work by the way

Hmmm I never use predictive text, so I guess I never noticed that anomaly. The cab should fix it though...
These new ROMs have a different system for editing CPR files. The CPR file is actually declared in the home.xml file found in application data/home. You have to edit one of those files, declare a custom cpr file and then go drop that file in the \windows directory. OR, you could just edit the HTC cpr file that are already in the windows directory.
Again, with the slim panels, you have to make sure the OS knows about them. THe easiest way is to rename the slim CPRs to the HTC cprs and just overwrite the htc cprs in \windows.
is there any way to set the directory in HTC Audio Manager?
Superlite?! Inquiring minds want to know.
