Hi all
I was sick waiting for cid unlock for (t-mobile ameo – dutch),
So I used modified tools from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299154
to force writing Windows.nb ,just changed the bat file to write the new OS and it worked, my Athena now has English OS from RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00

the modified tool is here

(use @ your own risk)

So then the question is: What is the best ROM out there... the AMEO, Dopod or HTC?

Thanks for the link fallenczar. This is great news indeed. Is this now officially CID unlocked? Or just a way of forcing a flashing of another ROM?

Its NOT Cid unlocked, it uses some utilities by itsme to write directly to the NAND flash that the OS is stored in :)

Is it possible flashing the device fromout the bootloader screen? Or must the device be connected en synched using activesync?

Can anyone modify the files to flash radio..I know that if we flash POF's 1.16 Radio of Hermes, it makes the device Super CID..

OK..could flash..one needs to first hard Reset yr PPC, then install cert,rapi cabs, then swith off for 10 sec and reboot, then async run the batch file..works..great discovery..

Can someone add the procedure to the wiki and does it mean that now i can flash my english ameo with a unbranded htc athena rom ?

mackaby007
13-06-2007, 01:19 PM
Guys I'm all for progress and this going in the right direction, but it is NOT properly CID unlocked. Be very careful peeps before someone bricks their device!

This is why we have set up the Athena project, to avoid this and get some pro's to help us.

I hope everyone agrees that Midget_1990 should be on board as he is experienced with ROM cooking and the likes for the VGA 3G Universal and is the only xda developer who has showed an active interest in our forum.

if you read the link from arti upgrade you will get the picture,

it could be risky to force OS with this procedure as we all know that there is a problem with athena cutting connection, read this:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298259

if athena cuts and upgrade was not complete, u can reflash with original rom.

another thing, this upgrades only the OS, not radio, ipl spl...etc, AND IT WILL NOT MAKE ATHENA CID-UNLOCKED

i believe we all should join The Athena Project @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311651

there is nothing like SuperCID Athena :)

I heard from somebody that there was a way to CID unlock an Ameo with the old original radio ROM from T-Mobile. You had to flash back to an early Radio, then you could remove CID lock (or the early radio didnt have a CID lock in it). Then you could flash a normal Athena Radio back into it. He was vague about it but promised to email me the full procedure. He never did.
Is this worth looking into?

Midget_1990, I PM'd you the whole story and I hope this helps, but for everybody else.... Please dont get your hopes up!
I know from my Himalaya, and Universal that the Rom GODs here work hard in the background, and the last thing they want is constant nagging :p

However, I fully support the current fund for buying a device for somebody.
One question though, how do you decide who gets it?
I guess it should be given to one of the biggest Universal contributors as a sort of reward for all their previous work.
Im pretty sure Buzz got his Uni that way didnt he?

use the volume hard key and reset it will ask you to do a hard reset (volume hard key down slideit) and also it will take u off the bootloader mode.

where you trying to upgrade when you got stuck on bootloader? what happend? how far through was the process?

if the OS partition is still intact then I can get it out of bootloader, but if thats gone/half upgraded then it will hang on splash screen and wont boot - fairly sure i can fix that too but never tried on an athena :)

xmen06
14-06-2007, 04:38 PM
ok let's go :
when i try to flash with any rom it stops at 1% because wrong cid.
So i think that i need to wait to have a tmobile uk ameo rom, and then my athena would work .

14-06-2007, 05:06 PM
Ok
First i download the file for the forum http://www.aczua.com/Athena_upgrade.rar
And then i try to upgrade with the windows.
nb from RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00.
Then it doesn't work so i install the 2 cabs EnableRapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab and i switch my phone ten second and switch on.
Then actyvesync recognize my phone.
And then i execute UpgradeRom.bat all go fine but three minutes later it stops because activesync stop.
Thus when i reset my phone boots i see the t mobile logo and it stops (once again) on the tmobile wallpaper.
I don't see the windows mobile logo.
To switch off i need to remove the battery.
So i try to upgrade my rom with a tmobile dutch rom :
i make a reset with a pression of the camera button.
When i am in the bootloader (green,red,blue..)
I execute the RUU_Athena_TMO_DE_1.12.111.6_1.32.00.00_Ship.exe
i go to grey screen it starts flashing and at 1% it reset and i have a message of error because of cid lock.
I tried with other rom the same thing.
But i don't manage to have a t mobile uk rom.

Midget_1990

ok your OS partition is screwed up, you need to use a rom for your device (is there one yet?) or bypass the CID checking (working on that :) )

i dont think there is a rom for t-mobile uk,,,, as well the german rom has different CID,,,So you have 3 choices:

1- wait for official update from t-mobile uk
2- wait for CID unlock or CID bypass software
3- try using mtty with the option wdata ( but i have no experience with that as well my ameo is dead),,,, more info about this command can be found at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_BootLoader

the password is the same as trinity....

i dont think there is a rom for t-mobile uk,,,, as well the german rom has different CID,,,So you have 3 choices:

1- wait for official update from t-mobile uk
2- wait for CID unlock or CID bypass software
3- try using mtty with the option wdata ( but i have no experience with that as well my ameo is dead),,,, more info about this command can be found at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_BootLoader

the password is the same as trinity....

good luck.

Yes..wdatah command can u used..IDA Pro shows this..but need to confirm the address and length, also will try to get the USB capture.
Any one can post the txt of USB capture?

mtty cannot do pdocwrite, but u will have to use wdatah or wdata,the area and the length and the bytes.So unless u are sure,pls do not use.Now since u hv the ROM why don't u try once again with the method mentioned.
Use pdocread to get the rom handler and then edit the batch file, as mentioned in this thread.

Hi, I need to recover files from the my docs folder on a universal, do you know the bootloader commands to dump the entire flash to SD so I can use a PC hex editor to recover the information?

I know the commands to dump but not sure of the memory address for the userspace.

There are notes that are desperately needed, and the device locks up at the green WINDOWS MOBILE screen (wm6 rom on uni). I will reflash the rom, but need the notes backed up first

If you can tell me the commands please, even if its just to dump the whole rom. Its urgent that I can recover the notes as they have business contact details I hadnt managed to backup when the uni died.

Because pdocread need activesync to recognize my ameo.

Can you use WMstorage then once connected to your PC use something like Ontrack to recover the files since it shows up as a regular HD on the system?

"Can you use WMstorage then once connected to your PC use something like Ontrack to recover the files since it shows up as a regular HD on the system?"

How? Dont you need a working Windows for WMStorage?

It wont boot, if it did I could simply copy the files to SD card.

You're right. I missed the post where you said the device wouldn't boot all the way. Oops.

All we need is someone can unlock cid.
Or wait for an upgrade for our provider.

The thing is that we need someone to fin a way to unlock cid WHILE in bootloader mode. That might prove to be even more difficult.

Hi all
I was sick waiting for cid unlock for (t-mobile ameo – dutch),
So I used modified tools from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299154
to force writing Windows.nb ,just changed the bat file to write the new OS and it worked, my Athena now has English OS from RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00

the modified tool is here

(use @ your own risk)

Hi, I cannot use your solution. My device is unlock (I paid to imeiunclock) and recently I upgraded to WM6. Now my problem is I want to modificate the windows.nb in order to use blackberry, but eachtime I run your bat file it says:
