What exactly are the requirements to install Kavana's rom?? - HTC Excalibur

hi
this is probably a stupid question, the last time i did any rom updating was with an old UK SDA II to some imate rom.
ok,
i recently purchased a used BT s620 phone which is locked to BT.
do i need to get it CID unlocked and SIM unlocked??- ive already got it application unlocked.
how much would i be looking to pay in order to get it CID and SIM unlocked??
the reason i ask these questions is because in KAVANA's post it says the wizard does all the unlocking?? does that mean i wont need to do any CID and SIM unlocking??
cheers

you are correct. Kavana has built in the Jump SPL CID bypass function so it bypasses "reading " the CID when installing the ROM and you dont' need your phone to be SIM unlocked to install it either.

I'm also a BT user and flashed with Kavana Ricky Remade, just follow the instructions, Hard Reset s620 before, no need for any extra software, the only problem i have is MMS doesn't work but then i never have used MMS.

Great, i shall be doing that reite now!
just a quick question, how much should i be expecting to pay to get it sim unlocked??- could you point me in the right direction??
thanks for you help.
edit: just saw the post above, how would i go about hard ressetting??
and i take it youre still with BT or have you unlocked your phone? if so how..

to be on the safe side... make sure you hard reset your phone b-4 the install, and also PLEASE MAKE SURE you remove your storage card if you have one installed

nice, 10 dollars is fine
an annoying problem however(2 infact) :
1. the phone beeps every time the lcd switches off to save power. how would i disable that
2. and i cannot make full use of the qwerty keyboard as the number keys work like a regular phones keys....
thanks for all the help guys

Which ROM did you go for?
You will want the eT9.cab bit about in here http://www.beta.bt.com/bta/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4012&start=0&tstart=0
The beep not sure about is your wi-fi on because it beeps when the lcd switches off, in the sounds settings everything below and including SIM toolkit messages i have turned off.

i went for kavanas rom.
it is as if the function keys are unresponsive so i cant change from numbers to letters...
what does this et9.cab do?
and yes i have wifi on- should i just switch off all the sounds accept vital ones?
cheers
edit:
still makes the annoying beep even though there are no sounds accept ringtones

eT9.cab sets the uk keyboard layout, some of my layout are not correct don't get :;
Follow the instruction on link.
There is also a bit on the Kavana thread about this.
I still get the beep when the screen goes out as the wi-fi disconnects, just turn the others off through choice, i hate phone noises.
Except obviously the noise of my Pendulum ringtone and the classic WM text tone.

DUDE!
pendulum rule!!
which one is it??
you got propane nightmares yet??
oh yeah- i figured out how to get rid of the wifi beep with an ingenius idea.
ill post you a link of my thread.

Visions as it always get's me going.
The new album is ace "Samey samey with more vocals"
I Dj'd a night with Pendulum played the Hip-Hop floor downstairs.
Did you get the key layout sorted?
Interested in how you stopped beep but think i know?

well, i know the file- ding.wav
ive found it in the windows folder of the fones memory.
my theory was just to replace it with an empty silent ding.wav (attached)
but i cant edit the read only files i just found out- or can you? maybe a different file editor.
what was your way

I thought that was the idea, use Resco Explorer find the file in question check properties "action/properties" to make sure not protected read only & copy over it. "Keep a copy of original sound just in case"

ive tried it with resco- hopefully it works.
edit:
no joy- looks like im going to have to make a seperate post

Hi, first time poster, short time reader (Hey, only had the Dash for a week). Previous phone was a Q on Verizon.
Kavana image is wonderful and saved me from wanting to throw my Dash (with T-mobile image) against a wall.
Quick Question: Is the Dash Sim unlocked because we replaced the ROM? Or is it still carrier locked?

It's still locked.
Call your provider and ask for the unlock code.

HI All;

Yes I have it installed but I have only tested the SMS Requests and I received back a SMS with the gps co-ordinates.
me too, just installed today and SMS reporting was working, GPS not tested because i was in a building...everything else seems to run fine.

It just sent a SMS with the text "Unknown SIM Card" when the "wrong" SIM was insert. Just installed the cab, set up the SIM-Monitor and it was running.
Did you also add another number where to report ? Will test GPS option and report back. Cheers
Edit:
This tool is sooo coooooool, it's running perfect, sending me GPS coordinates and does everything i want!
Send SMS with password and command - Just enable Remote monitor, and enable everything
Examples:
Pass phrase = zlo, RMon enabled, GPS and MsgBox commands allowed
If you want to get GPS coordinates you should send next SMS message:
zlo +g
If you want phone to display message box you should send next SMS message:
zlo +m preved!!!
To perform both task simultaneously
zlo +g +m preved!!!

The same to me It send a SMS with the text "Unknown SIM Card" when the "wrong" SIM was inserted.
I tried about 1 month ago.
as i remember it worked perfectly. (i wanted to cook into my rom but i did not have time for it.)
the GPS lock was very slow, but maybe because i was standing next to the window not outside.

Hey Rambo,
I don't understand what's exactly your problem, sorry....
For me it was running as expected. After reading the readme everything was doing the way it should. I just added my SIM as allowed and a friends number to report to.
Then i put in another SIM - my friend got an SMS with the number.
Now he was able to reply with my password and command (for example: +g) - one minute later he got an sms with the coordinates. Everything works really fine on my device, and he could ask for the coordinates whenever he wanted - he always got an answer.
Cheers

Hi,
I have thought about using this but is part of its usefulness is hopefully to prevent anyone using the phone with another sim. I know it may tell you where the phone is as well.
That leads me to my question. Does it prevent a scummy theif going into bootloader and romming the phone, thus bypassing any lock?

Issue installing skype

hello. I am having an issue installing skype on my smartphone. It currently has the Rogers ROM on it (yes, I changed it again )... Active Sync gets it on the phone alright, but the issue is when it starts to install on the phone, it comes up with a notice that I have insufficient privileges to continue. I have already tried the Application unlocked, but that just tells me that my phone is not unlockable.
I search around and found that the issue may be that the installer is trying to set some registry keys that it is not supposed to and to alter the .cab file. But I cant find the .cab file on my phone anywhere, so I dont know how i can go about modifying it. The PC-side installer is just an .exe file.
I also soft-restarted my phone to clear memery, so that is not an issue eaither.
Can anybody lend some insight to this issue?
thanks

Welcome to the forums, kaponya
If u are using the same rogers rom, all u need to do is to download the cab file in that thread, copy it into your phone using activesync or bluetooth, and then just click on it, which will execute the program, and you might be asked to restart the phone for full effect.

Well, since a new user has bumped the skype thread, has anyone been able to direct the sound thru the earpiece, and not the external speaker, in a satisfactory way yet?

Get rid of operator "Get More..." on T-Mobile USA

I'm running the new "HTC_WWE_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship" and my operator comes up as "Get More..." Which is pretty lame. Anyone figured out a way to change this? My digging through the registry turned up nil.
Help?
Chances are, no. It's a feature of the SIM card to be able to hold custom names that the operator wants to display. It's called EONS (Enhanced Operator Name Service, I believe). There's no way that I know of to tell WM to ignore it.
Well shoot, now i'm stumped. On the t-mob ship roms it came up fine. The HTC rom says Get More..., strange. I also have a t-mob wing (herald) and the touch-it rom said the same thing (Get More...).
This seems to be something common with roms designed for markets other than north america. Thanx for the input.

Wm 6.1 Issues!

I'm really hating that I downloaded this garbage onto my phone. The keys are a MESS. I've tried to download the fixes but I still can't sync my dash to my pc to even begin to fix it.
I called T-Mobile and their systems are down or something and won't be back up for 24 hours. UGH! I'm never downloaded "the latest" anything ever.
Sorry. I don't mean any disrespect but I can't believe I was foolish enough to blindly ruin my phone.
Does anyone know how I can fix it?

What steps did you follow, what ROM did you use?

OH SHOOOT! I'm a jackass!! I disconnected the dash before I did the second install to fix the keyboard.
Is there a way to get that fixed?
not quite sure
what you mean. After you flash the ROM then it goes through a couple of setup stages and reboots. You should then be presented with a working newly flashed rom at your new homescreen. You can then Activesync and copy over the keyboard fix and install it.

Glad you got it synced.

Why is everyone so sarcastic around here? I'm not well educated in this subject, so that's why I joined...to get answers. I think the 6.1 is COOL but I can't access my email and messengers not to mention these weird text messages from 4570 and 4700...

No Service ("Searching...")

Yesterday my HTC Excalibur stopped receiving calls, text messages and would not make calls.
I turned the phone off, took the battery and SIM Card out, put it in 5 minutes later hoping it would work again, it did not.
I did a reset of the phone (accessories, clear storage, 1234), that did not work.
This morning I tried swapping SIM cards with someone else (to see if was the service provider). Both SIM Cards worked in my friends Sony Ericsson but neither worked in my HTC Excalibur.
I have the 3V0 Windows Mobile 6.5 installed.
Is there a way I can fix this?

No, I don't know how.
The phone came with it installed. I bought it new, but the seller installed WM 6.5 before shipping, so it's more like open box.
How long does it take? Should I leave that as a last resort?
Is there anything I can tweak on my phone right now?

Where can I find the most up to date and fastest Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM?
EDIT: OP shared more info related via PM, thread re-open.
As I sent you via PM, hard reset or reflash your device. If that doesn't work get a new sim from your carrier since it can be network related.

reflashed to 6.1 but still no luck.
Again I tried another working sim from the same carrier, both sims work in my friends phone, but neither work on my s620.
I'v been in contact with jockyw2001 for his Excalibur Sim Unlock.
I just don't understand why I have to pay someone for this, I just bought the phone less than a month ago and it's been working perfectly.
How did this happen? How did my phone get locked?

Probably is your internal antenna (hardware). Have you made sure that phone radio is on?

Yes, the phone radio is on.
Now sometimes it says Rogers Wireless rather than searching.
But when I call someone, it does everything but complete the call. It just beeps twice and says 00:00.

Should I open the phone and pull the antennas closer together like I read in a thread on this forum?

That's the last resort my friend....when a doctor doesn't know what the patient has...he opens to see what's the problem .
This is something that you do it at your own risk, maybe you have some dirt inside that needs to be clean.
Good luck,
jockyw2001 says my IMEI is unlocked.
Hey guys,
I am now able to send texts. But I can't receive texts, make calls or receive calls.
any suggestions?
I filed a claim on eBay. That seems to be the best option.
