WM6 is coming :)

[alanplum]

MANY MANY MANY thanks for this ROM.

Upgraded my T-mobile Ameo and everything works in WM6

Video Calls, Bluetooth you name it.

No problems during the upgrade either!!

[Anton.Valleyman]

Listen to us...jeez how GEEKY are we?

Ha!!

But hey, WM6 is important - particularly when you had it and it was cruely taken away (Exec > Ameo)

WM6, though not vastly diff to WM5, was the first OS to actually feel designed for PDAphones, rather than being tacked on. WM5 had a lot of good features, but still felt like the phone was an afterthought. A good example is the way if you called someone but they were busy again and again and again. It showed as a new entry in Call History for every attempt. With WM6, it groups them. Little tweaks like that make a BIG difference.

Hey, speak for yourself! :) I remember though, when that term was not the fad it is these days!

Live messenger just stuck. Wouldnt log in properly, no matter how many times I restarted or long i waited.

I installed the livemessenger that I had on universal over the top from my cab file. Now it works fine again. Same version as far as I can see too.

Hi,

Has anybody tried Blackberry Connect 4 with any of WM6 ROMS yet? I'm just waiting for my Ameo to be delivered and then will give it a go, but wanted a heads up in case I was wasting my time!!

[lucas_2151]

it's done....I have Dutch vers of Ameo and with Imei-check CID Unlock and installing the ROM...finally I got WM6 on my Ameo

[hoier]

Your device is not CID unlocked. You need to unlock it via IMEI-check. Then you will be able to update.

Sorry. but the X7500 is sold in Denmark sim unlocket... So we can not cid unlocket it, when it is sim unlockt..

[Rambler358]

So once you have the WM6 upgrade files, what's the process for performing the upgrade? Would I simply dock the X7500 and then run one of the .EXE files? Or should I copy the files onto the X7500 somewhere and then run? And which file should I execute to do the actual upgrade?

I advise you to read from the first post.

Guys, this is still a risky operation, if you dont knw what you are doing DON'T DO IT

[c0mput0r]

Posting this from my wm6 x7500 and I can't believe how much faster wm6 is compared to old wm5.

Thanks for the update.

[Confucious]

Guys, this is still a risky operation, if you dont knw what you are doing DON'T DO IT

Unless you are like me and don't have a clue what you are doing and risk it anyway.
The upgrade couldn't have gone smoother on my UK T-Mob Ameo with Vista on my laptop.
If I'd had any sense I probably wouldn't have tried it ;)

I agree on this occasion but DO NOT RISK IT IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR POTENTIAL BRICKING. I upgraded my Universals many times. Most of the time it went smoothly. Occasionally it went very badly wrong.....

[Anton.Valleyman]

Agreed with the sentiments here.

As a seasoned XDAer (XDA, XDA2, XDA2i, XDA Exec and now Ameo ((still wish it was called an XDA)) ) I'm almost accustomed to that 1% moment. However, for this one it took me a good few reads to get to the bottom of what I needed to do - which in the end was very simple - with all this SuperCID and IMEI rubbish. Looks like I didn't need to spend £20 prior to upgrade but hey, you can't take it with you.

If you aren't familiar with the basics like whether you flash a device via the PC or the phone itself, it's a risky business particularly if something DOES go wrong. Make sure you read alllll the posts. Bricking can be reversed, but if you aren't up to speed on what to do - and if "bootloader mode" is an alien concept, then proceed with great caution.

[alanplum]

Just noticed since upgrading to WM6, I know get an H instead of 3G in the top bar.

HSDPA here we come. Super fast!

[Anton.Valleyman]

Seen it a few times whilst driving about. I live in what in phone-terms is the sticks (GPRS only) but as I drive towards town (York) I see the 3G and now H - but haven't had chance yet to test it's speed.

[rwijnhov]

jup be careful, all. i managed to brick my dutch ameo with trying t flash the tmob005. I gave sid error and now my machine won't boot past de second tmobile splash screen. Ah well, seems like i have to wait now for a dutch tmobile rom to revive my machine. Or does anyone have an other idea to revive it?

[cicciocant]

If I SUPERCID my device, do I loss my guarrantee?

[Pyrofer]

I dont know, but I would garantee they would TELL you you did. If its legal to say so or not is a different matter.
You would definately void it by flashing the rom though.

[spoonter]

I once had a UK T-Mobile MDA Vario replaced under warranty. It was SIM and CID unlocked and had installed a vastly more recent cooked ROM. I took it into the T-Mobile store on Oxford Street after I managed to brink it during a failed upgrade. I just told them it stopped working for no apparent reason. They sent it off, a few days later rang me to tell to to collect it. The whole unit had been replace apart from the battery cover! :)

You got lucky, the person handeling the replacment did not know the difference between a failed ROM upgrade from a hardware issue.

Most of the time the first thing they do is just Flash the device - they don't look at it to see what ROM is on it. So it's worth trying to get it fixed ander warantee but you can't complain if they tell you where to go!

Hello guys although this is my first post i am glad that i found such a rich fourm like this. I have a question
for what devices are these ROMS used for {ROM ver 2.20 & flasher for SuperCID devices only} i know the other ones there quite clear.

And one morething, i Have a DOPOD U1000, so what do i use....

[parkertseng]

Guys,
seem I always get an error message about device id...
how to unlock the cid? (besides the imei check?)
my athena(Dopod u1000) wasn't sim locked at all....

Your phone is probably region locked so the only way you can upgrade to either of the ROMs posted is to make your Phone SuperCID (unlock your phone's CID). You may want to search the forum for posts on how to unlock your CID.

After you unlocked your phone, you can use any of the ROMS, but I would suggest you download this http://uploaded.de/?id=430xr4.

Or wait for the Dopod official release of WM6 rumored to be on July 11

I do not know of an alternative procedure...but..

There is an alternative but risky procedure to install a ROM on your locked CID by forcing the OS into your device using activesync/mobile device center (not on at bootloader mode)... Search the forum and carefully follow the step by step procedure..

I do not recommend this procedure but if you wanna try, its your call...

try again without sim and minisd. error again and hard reset.

The ROMs posted on the first page are meant for HTC X7500 and T-Mobile Ameo branded Athena, so if your phone is Dopod brand or something else, you MUST unlock your CID by purchasing the unlock code at imei-check.co.uk - This is the only way of unlocking your CID (so far).

But, if your an X7500 user and you want to use the X7500 ROM then you dont need to unlock your CID.

[Wiz]

But, if your an X7500 user and you want to use the X7500 ROM then you dont need to unlock your CID.

Not exactly true. There are x7500's that are CID locked. Mine was (Dutch x7500). So, even if you have an x7500, you should be very careful and you should exactly know what you are doing.

You dont need to unlock if your CID matches the CID of the ROM where it was extracted...
In this case, the ROM provided here is WWE

Your sig says T-Mob Ameo. Do you have an X7500 or Ameo? Ameos are CID locked but the T-Mob ROM works with UK versions and (I believe someone else reported) German versions. I thought all HTC models were CID unlocked?

OT - your sig also says flat rate data, how much do you pay and does it allow streaming, IM and VOIP?

Thanks

[mrchris]

HSDPA - Since upgrading I've had this option available along with 3G and GPRS, what I'd like advice on is whether using it is covered by the Web'n'Walk Plus plan. I understand it's just a data rate and I'm really just paying for the data, but are there restrictions on using 'H'? I can't see anything in the TOS, but I wondered if you guys had heard anything?

[Pyrofer]

If you are on UK Tmob Ameo, then you were always using it!!!

They just hid the icon so nobody knew. Security by Obscurity.

Dont worry about it at all.

Sorry, forgot to update my signature. I swapped my Ameo for an x7500. My comment still stands about some x7500s not being superCID. Mine wasn't.It rebooted every time at 1%. After running the IMEI-check unlocker, the upgrade went fine. Ergo, there was indeed a CID lock on my x7500, which they removed.

OT - I currenlty live & work in the netherlands. T-MOB NL offers various flatfee rates, starting at € 9,50 to € 69,50. I currently have the most expensive plan.

Pocket Internet Totaal
64 Kbps € 9,50/month (flat fee UMTS)

Pocket Internet Totaal Plus
192 Kbps € 19,50 /month (flat fee UMTS)

Internet Totaal
384 Kbps € 49,50/month (flat fee UMTS)

Internet Totaal Plus
1.8 Mbps € 69,50/month (flat fee HSDPA)

All plans (except the cheapest I believe) offer free hotspot usage.

first:
I had go to www.imei-check.co.uk, pay 20 pounds and get the unlock application and key.

second:
downloaden the SPL version from the first page. (thanx for that)

Third:
Installed the rom update

Fourth:
Rebooted the HTC and now working very very fine with de x7500 (WWE) version. The only thing that i want to know is why my system always is working on 312 Mhz. Not that i need more speed because it's much and much faster than Windows Mobile 5. but sometimes it could be handy. I can't control the speed. I hoped with battery status but that is not a solution.
I have a secondary phone (now the hp6915) and with the tool Magicall i can send all information like sms, e-mail and phonecalls to my hp. Very nice tool. Look in to that!

Thanks again for all your help. :rolleyes: The majority of people here don't really know what they're doing with regard to this update, and hence the reason why the thread has grown so big. I've seen other people ask the same questions, and my original question should be very easy to answer for anyone who has performed the upgrade. And I think you're quite wrong, this is the time to learn, and help others with questions - which it seems you're not willing to do for whatever reason, but instead offering info that won't help anyone.

To all those wondering whether they should upgrade to WM6 or not, GO FOR IT!! It is low risk and WM6 is SOOO much faster and html email makes a massive difference. VGA browsing is great too. The upgrade only takes a few minutes and if you use the TMOB ROM, you don't need to CID unlock an Ameo.

All,

I am having the same problem as described above by "parkertseng" with my phone dialer.

Once the Athena is upgraded to WM6 via the second (superCID) upgrade link in this same thread, the phone application works properly in QVGA mode. However when the MvRTrueVGA application is loaded, the phone dialer isn't undersized as it was in WM5. This time the phone looks and works properly, with the exception of the "HTC smart dialer 2.5", which does not respect the top vertical boundaries of the phone pad itself.

I have tried a couple of work arounds and subsequent hard resets, but don't seem to be able to fix the problem. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Presently, VJBigPhone 0.91 works to make the small keys bigger, but when applied to the new WM6 large keys and layout, the VJBigPhone pushes all of the keys off the screen to the lower right hand side (which makes them no longer visible).

In trying to better describe the problem, and since it does not appear that the smart dialer respects the top boundary of the phone pad's application space, I am not able to see the first or second entries displayed by the smart dialer.

If anyone has any ideas that can better help me troubleshoot the problem then please let me know.

Note: During one of my attempts to fix the problem, I downgraded the phone to the version used by jasjamming for the BlackMajik Hermes edition, then I used the VJBigPhone to take the true QVGA pad and make it the proper size, which did work to solve part of the problem. The only remaining issue at that point was that the version of the smart dialer was older or less integrated and did not allow for the auto-preview of the numbers from each contact as they are highlighted (when each contact in the dropdown recieves focus). Since I love the newer versions of the smart dialer program and the auto-preview of associated numbers, I was unhappy with the good looking and only partially functioning solution, so I hard reset the device again and am continuing to work on a better more complete work around.

Again, help would be appreciated, thanks :-)

The WM5 load for my Athena allows for the screen to fully rotate in all 4 directions, the new WM6 load does not rotate in all 4 directions, rather is limited to two landscape modes and only one portrait mode.

I think you are mistaken. In wm5, you can't have portrait two ways. So, there is really no change here.

In response to the query about the brand of my Athena, it is a Dopod U1000, that was flashed with the following ROM after it hung up on me within the first 72 hours of ownership "RUU_Athena_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.24.707.3_105_6275_1.32. 00.10_108_Ship.exe"

The orientataion for this ROM with the thousands of dollars of add-on software definately allowed for the screen to rotate and to be used in all 4 directions. I can't tell you for sure if the ROM alone offered that feature or if it was included in the additional software, but I definately do know that it was able to rotate and to be used in all 4 rotated positions.

After re-installing all of the prior software and with having the limitations mentioned above, I am begining to think that it was either the ROM alone or a combination of the older ROM and the software that was loaded at that time, that allowed for each of the rotated positions to be used effectively.

Hope this helps,
Bob

[dieterpapa]

I worked myself now through all these 34 pages.............

However, there are still a few questions remaining where I need a confirmation / an answer:
- T-Mobile Ameo German can't be upgraded with http://uploaded.de/?id=wbbw2u - T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl and etc. Correct ?
- Therefore I need to CID unlock via IMEI-Check (already done) and can use http://uploaded.de/?id=0v9mm1 - flasher for SuperCID devices only
- What's about the keyboard ? My Ameo has a qwertz keyboard. Do I get a querty keyboard when installing http://uploaded.de/?id=0v9mm1 - flasher for SuperCID devices only ?

If your device is CID unlocked (which you seem to have already done) you can flash any of the provided roms. I personally used the HTC one (http://uploaded.de/?id=0v9mm1).

The attached file will let you switch back to german settings:

- Keyboard layout into german language
- Suggested words dictionary into german language
- Spellcheck dictionary into german language
- Symbols List into german language

Cheers

EDIT: If you also want location aware applications switched to german (like opera on my ameo) change the follwing reg-key to 407(hex) HKCU\MUI\CurLang (default value is 409(hex))

The full WM6 ROMs posted are WWE (WorldWide English), so any other language upgrade could result ad INVALID COUNTRY error

If you superCID your device you could flash ANY rom, full tmob, full HTC or flasher for simple OS rom.

A rom is done with IPL (more or less the PC BIOS) SPL (the system files, do you remenber dos formatting?) OS (with device specific drivers), RADIO (the Phone radio part developed from HTC and NOT form MS), EXT ROM (personalizzation, remember video calling, mms, are from ext_rom, but also the theme, opere, htc audio manager,...) .

The result of this flashing will be IN ANY CASE an OS having qwerty keyboard, bur should be easy to change the layout via a simple registry hack. Look inside the wiki, using google search

A WMphone is something like an USB pen, with some hardware around, and you need all the stuff IPL, SPL, OS, DRIVERS, RADIO, EXT_ROM, applications to transform this amount of hardware in a device :)

[dieterpapa]

Thanks a lot:

Now still one question remaining:

Has anybody Pylon Pro 5.41 running under WM 6 ?

Without this confirmation I can't go to WM6. I need pylon for sync with Lotus...

Dieter

[rpgsx3r]

Just to allay the fears of those who've still not upgraded (I read through 35 pages and was still concerned, as I've very little knowledge of updating ROMs, only having done it a couple of times with an HTC Wizard).

I've a standard UK T-Mobile Ameo and I updated to WM6 on Vista Ultimate with absolutely no problems using http://uploaded.de/?id=wbbw2u - T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl and etc and without any unlocking.

Download the file.
Unpack using WinRAR.
Connect Ameo and have Activesync connected.
Run the ROMUpdateUtility.
Wait nervously until it gets past 2%.
Go make a cup of tea.
Come back and view your WM6 Ameo.
Yumm!

[Rabia]

can someone provide another link please, do i have to commit suicide in this forum to get help :(

[beginner]

What about Blackberry Connect (on the WM5 ROM it was called Direct Email or something). This was on the T-Mob ROM, but not on the WM6 ROM. I really need this. Any ideas anyone?

AMoosa: did you find a blackberry that works on wm6? I couldn't and this is really important. For who is looking for the upgrade stop a while because bb doesn't work...

[yarod_g14]

Well, after all these success stories of NON CID UNLOCKED or SIM UNLOCKED UK Tmobile WWE devices updating flawlessly with WM 6 I am rather excited.
I very nearly sold my phone recently but managed to wait......

(Sorry Paul if you around ! I am interested in WM6 )

So I am downloading the file, and I am going to update without hard resetting or really doing anything apart from ensuring active sync was synced properly.

I have not done this for about 4 generations since my XDA 2.

I am scared as I have bricked 1 PSP this year already, I dont need any more paper weights.....

So here I go......(well in 17 mins once download is done)

I shall post my findings.

Well done Tupisdin.

Changing the Bands Settings may help, after loading this rom it changes the Network Bands.

Now still one question remaining:

Has anybody Pylon Pro 5.41 running under WM 6 ?

Without this confirmation I can't go to WM6. I need pylon for sync with Lotus...

Dieter

Got the confirmation: Pylon is not running under WM6 http://smiliestation.de/smileys/Traurig/25.gif (http://www.wolken-infos.de/)

Have to wait for an update coming maybe to the end of the year - and which is surely not for free...

BigDede,

I too have a French model and I am now on WM6, let me know if you can figure out how to set the keyboard to AZERTY, the usual reg hacks don't seem to work...

[BigDede]

edeplano

I suggest you install Resco Keyboard, which you can use with AZERTY or QWERTY. I used to have it on my QTEK 2020i and it's agreat SW with different skins available.

Hope I answered your question :))

[olliesshop]

I had a weird crash this morning on my unlocked HTC X7500 ... it blew away all my contacts, tasks and calendar !!! I've never had that happen in the 7 years I had Pocket PCs.

Anyways, I'm looking at doing a Hard Reset and am wondering if I should take the plung or not. When I try to connect to the ftp server (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com) with xda for username and password it won't connect. I assume it's overloaded.

It's not the software keyboard that bothers me but the actual physical keyboard that I need to change. Its just A Q ans W Z that are inverted so it's not too big of a problem...

Does your HTC run WM5 or WM6?
Do you use SPB backup?? or Sprite Backup??
It's a good SW to recover from such crashes

[olliesshop]

I'm still running WM5. I didn't lose much data, though, since I have it backed up on my PC. I don't use Sprite anymore, since I've found it doesn't crash that much and I just end up doing a clean install of all my programs. Before, when I used Sprite it ended up re-installing the settings that made it crash to begin with.

Anyways ... I'm hoping WM6 will be much more stable. Now I'm trying to figure out where the "official" WM6 WWE HTC Advantage/Athena ROM is hiding. I've noticed it's not on the HTC.com site yet.

[BigDede]

Guys

did somebody succeeded in transfering text messages from an old pocket PC to a new one??
In my case I was using a QTEK 2020i, and I did a backup for emails/text messages using SPB Backup. Now I have an HTC Advantage running WM6, and I tried a restore from the backuped file.
Despite process went correctly, I wasn't able to see any text messages on the HTC Athena.
Pls note that the folder Windows\messanging was restored correctly with identical content from old Device to new Device

[Wiz]

Guys

Use Jeyo Mobile Extender to move to Outlook and back to new device.

[BigDede]

Use Jeyo Mobile Extender to move to Outlook and back to new device.

Hey Wiz, just did it using Jeyo Mobile before reading your thread and it works great, thks anyway for the advise, you guys are the best and this site is great.

acutally I connected my old device, so I had all my text messages on Jeyo Mobile, I did an export and saved the backup file.
Then I connected my new device, on jeyo mobile there is nothing of course.
I did an import from the backuped file and get all my text messages on the new device.

[wonderboygr]

Hmm. Imei-check are quick to take the money but not so quick on the file...

I think this ID thing is a bit over the top!
Considering they are not posting out actual goods, they dont lose much if they are scammed do they! I dont require that sort of identification when I sell actual goods on ebay. ffs I sold a car and didnt ask he post me a copy of his driving licence first.

:( I have to wait sadly untill imei-check decide that I am worthy.

i disagree.

it took me seconds for the file to arrive via email

was the same when i unlocked the p3300

[apd]

it took me seconds for the file to arrive via email


Same for me, I'm afraid. Are you sure the message hasn't got stuck in your junk mail?

[wonderboygr]

after using the x7500 for a while with wm5 and saw the abilities of this dream machine, i think the 20 pounds for unlock is worth it, so to avoid any bricked device.

now the wm6 installed flawlessly and everything works fine

note.

bought the x7500 in athens greece from a local shop, sim unlocked, probably cid locked (do not know how to check) but with the unlock from emei check dudes i have kept my mind peaceful

[apd]

Use Jeyo Mobile Extender to move to Outlook and back to new device.

Even better - use PPCPimBackup - look in the General forum. It's great!

Obviously, your device is not SuperCID. Did you unlock it via ImeiCheck or the Olipro unlocker? Your device needs to be SuperCid if you are using that file.

Do you have X-Button 1.5x installed? You may want to try deinstalling X-Button to see what it does to reception (see another thread in which I describe a few issues I encountered http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1378022#post1378022). In my case the difference with and without X-Button installed was just two big to call it a coincidence

Hmm, so far I have been able to reproduce the send key issue on the Treo which doesn't fail to show up every time I install X-Button 1.5x. The GPS reception is back to square 1 though ... poor reception altogether.

hey mate i'm getting my baby this weekend and although i have been reading this thread over and over HAVE YOU USED OLIPRO HARDSPL FIRST BEFORE YOU ATTEMPTED FLASHING?

Hey there Dutty....great to have you here! (Sorry...a little off-topic) LOL ;)
Later.................

[lbendlin]

i tried to use com4, and 5

When will people stop fiddling around ? It is COM5 at 9600. Nothing else.

I flashed this ROM on my US X7500 without any additional activity, and everything (including GPS) works just fine. Hey, TomTom even got usable in VGA landscape mode. But the address lookup still sucks with the large NA map.

hey mate i'm getting my baby this weekend and although i have been reading this thread over and over HAVE YOU USED OLIPRO HARDSPL FIRST BEFORE YOU ATTEMPTED FLASHING?

Hey Duttythroy,

Welcome to the next level. I call it the next level because this device does everything I wish I could do with hermes and then some more. There is a lot of RAM, ROM, Storage until you run out of stuff to installed:D Well, may be I am loving it too much:) My first impression on Friday afternoon was this device is BIG but then by Monday you will get over it and realize what you have now needs a different frame of mind.

Anyway, the answer to your question is yes that was first thing I did before even attempting to do anything else. WM5 was on the device for 4hours then it was history and I never looked back.

The only issues I have right now is finding a good case to hang on my belt without the keyboard, a more powerful battery, and a kitchen to play with. Right now I doing a lot of reading and waiting for another ROM (cooked or official).

Have fun.

TomTom 6 also knows the option of "builtin GPS receiver" ... are you sayin that one should not use that option but go for the "another NMEA GPS receiver" at 9600bd/COM5?

Upgraded To Wm6 On A Greek X7500, Cid Unlocked By Imei-check And Everything Went Flawlessly

Wm6 Functions Fully In All Aspects

super fast os i must say

i use igo 2006se without probs and destinator 6 and 7

gps locks much faster and overall navigation is smoother , especially with destinator 6 and 7

i have a feeling that the 624 mhz processor of the x7500 now shows its potential.
with wm5, os was sluggish, despite the 624 mhz (in some aspects the p3300 with the 201 mhz was faster than the x7500 in wm5)

Dopod U1000 is sold only in Asia...

So, I doubt the X7500 will get a WM6 upgrade because of the X7501

Dopod U1000 is sold only in Asia...

So, I doubt the X7500 will get a WM6 upgrade because of the X7501
... and yet page 1 of this thread does have a link to a "final" ROM. Note that Dopod is now owned by HTC, so I'm hoping they'll also roll out "official" support for x7500.

[whammer]

don't know if anyone did face the problems i'd with my Ameo, i've bought it unlocked and it seems it was SuperCID as well, i tested the GPS and it was working fine, but when i flashed it to WM6, problems started to pop, first i didn't it kept having Communication error at random points during the upgrade, had to do it like 20 times till it finally finished flashing successfully, afterwords the GPS didn't work, i know it should be on port 5 at baud rade 9600 but it never managed to initialize the GPS, tried tomtom, navigon and Igo and Google maps.. non worked .. did anyone face such problem with the AMEO? and if it went alright with everything working .. which ROM did you use exactly for a SUPER CID AMEO note that i don't like the T-mobile extended rom contents ..
Pleasee i need help
Cheers

[purrfect]

here's what i found on the htc north america website

http://www.america.htc.com/products/advantage7501/default.html

i dont know if this is the wm6 update but it sure seems like it,

the only thing is it shows x7501 update, and dosent say anything about the x7500

can someone confirm if this is the update ????

i bought my unit from expansys in the states and it is sim unlocked but i dont know if it is CID unlocked

since there are a few updates i'm a bit confused about which one to use since i dont want to brick my device.

also i tried downloading one of the update files and when i unpacked it it showed CRC error so i dident try to deploy that one on my device

if anyone is in the same situation please help



thanks.

[teddyen66]

I bought my X7500 from expansys i denmark, and hope there will bee an upgrade to WM6 soon, too.

Hey there Dutty....great to have you here! (Sorry...a little off-topic) LOL ;)
Later.................

Thanks, cant wait for my x7500 its shipped keep refreshing the tracking page should get it by tomorrow, this thread is quiet though whats been happening?

[duttythroy]

Hey Duttythroy,

Welcome to the next level. I call it the next level because this device does everything I wish I could do with hermes and then some more. There is a lot of RAM, ROM, Storage until you run out of stuff to installed:D Well, may be I am loving it too much:) My first impression on Friday afternoon was this device is BIG but then by Monday you will get over it and realize what you have now needs a different frame of mind.

Anyway, the answer to your question is yes that was first thing I did before even attempting to do anything else. WM5 was on the device for 4hours then it was history and I never looked back.

The only issues I have right now is finding a good case to hang on my belt without the keyboard, a more powerful battery, and a kitchen to play with. Right now I doing a lot of reading and waiting for another ROM (cooked or official).

Have fun.

anxiously awaiting for my baby, Its on its way thought I would get it in time for the dopod upgrade but hey sometimes the cherries is much sweeter when its riped more. cant wait to sre my views and add my inexperience in rom cooking been im a junior chef my self.

the GPS didn't work, i know it should be on port 5 at baud rade 9600 but it never managed to initialize the GPS, tried tomtom, navigon and Igo and Google maps.. non worked ..

my settings for the GPS are 4800 baud and COM4
I selected Other GPS NMEA
It works perfectly

Try this setting and let me know if it works

@Frank

The dopod asia U1000 update WILL NOT WORK for your advantage X7500, because your device is locked to HTC roms ONLY..... to use the U1000 rom you must CID unlock your device.

Im on a Tmobile locked AMEO and used the
T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl

to upgrade my phone which went nice and smooth

Is this the best WM6 ROM for my device or has a better one come out since. Its working well but like most here im a bit of a tinkerer!

If I wanted to change to a better ROM (if one exists) what would i need to do?

There are a couple of choices but not very different than what you have now. First you need to go to the thread and get Olipro's unlocker. Then read the many reviews that others have posted regarding the released ROM's and see if any are worth going to. Hope this helps get you a good start.

Well, depending on what you eventually decide you may have to redo the phone. Go read up on the threads and see if you have specific questions in regards to the topic. We'll be here to help.

[Mrsums]

OK, I think I'm ready to take those steps to heaven. Having read through this thread in some detail, I would still appreciate confirmation before I brick the beast.

I have a locked UK T-mobile Ameo. It would appear that I should use the T-MOB005 version linked within this thread without having to unlock my device. Prior to doing so, I will ensure the battery is fully charged and will take out the SD cards. I will sync the detail to my PC (including the SIM detail)

Q1: Would it be beneficial to unlock the device before re-flashing?
Q2: If I unlock it and use T-MOB005 will the settings be automatically re-set, or should I take details of these before I re-flash?

Can someone please confirm this and also look at the two additional questions?

Many thanks

I used the tmobile rom without unlocking and it works great
unlocking allows u to use any athena wm6 rom not just the tmobile uk
one.

As there is not and will not be an official T-Mobilr WM6 ROM for the Ameo, you might as well go ahead and fully unlock your device, so you have the options of flashing ANY Athena ROM in the future.

Any ROM you flash to it at all, will invalidate your Warranty anyway. Let's face it, except for hardware damage or theft/loss, we have insurance for that, so for software, I wouldn't care about T-Mobs warranty and I'm on contract with them too.

By NOT unlocking your device and giving yourself options, you're playing right into their hands. My wife's had her T-Mobile MDA Pro (Universal) now for almost 2 years....why? Because having it unlocked and able to try different ROMs continually gives the device a new lease of life.:)

Maybe we shouldn't put 3rd party apps on our PPC's either, in case one of them has a bug that screws up our hardware and invalidates our warranties.

I think not. Each to their own I guess. Best of luck either way.;)

I didn't and wouldn't unlock my device, purely for the warranty factor. It makes no diffence anyway, as I have got WM6 on the device working fine with the T-MOB005 version.

As soon as T-Mobile release a genuine update, and I think it's only a matter of time, my warranty will be in tact, unlike those that are unlocked, where they can refuse to uphold it....

[haztoma]

i started with htc x7500 black color. i already had WM6 installed (ATHE_WM6_x7500_flasher found on this thread).

i then tried using olipro slp to unlock and supercid my phone (whatever that means). i started the olipro program. the rom upgrade window (step1) popped up saying that i need to have at least 50% battery life. I had 40%, so the rom upgrade quit. however the olipro program went on to do what it needs to do, unlocked the device and then step3 and done (was it really unlocked?).

i was not sure if the phone was unlocked or not, so i charged the batter to 100% and repeated the processes. this time olipro went through step1. the device uploaded the patched radio.. the device then shut off and would not restart again. i tried doing a hard reset and no lock. the green joystick LED ligh turns on but the screen was black (no light either). eventually figured out how to enter bootloader mode (hold camera button and reset). once in bootloader mode, i flashed it with the ATHE_WM6_x7500_flasher found on this forum. the device flashed okay, and had wm6 running once again. At this point olipro asked me to go through step 2. asked me to check off the unlock and supercid boxes. it then flashed it with something and then on to step 3 and reflashed it.

now i have WM6 running. it seems okay so far. device information:
ROM version :2.20.405.1
ROM date: 6/21/07
radio version: 1.45.00.00
protocol version: 32.78.7020.19H
ExtRom version: 2.20.405.101

can anyone tell me if it's unlocked at this point? how do I check?

to make the most out of this experience, would i be able to flash with the "flasher for the supercid devices"? at this point?

thanks for all the work and advice:)

I think we've come to a consensus that we don't really want to put things into the ROM that are readily available. Second, you can't put commercial programs into a ROM. Only freeware, etc.

Step by Step Instructions for HTC Advantage X7500 (= Athena)

I've just upgraded my PDA to WM6 successfully after reading every page of this thread. I'm very grateful to the community here so I thought I'd contribute by helping all those who have pleaded for Step by Step instructions and for an alternative download link. Thanks especially to prpmlp back in post #202 who took the time to record what he did and which I followed. My instructions are based on his but with extra detail for those who need a bit of hand holding. Note that these instructions are only for the HTC Advantage X7500 (= Athena) and are what worked for me. I can't guarantee that they will work for you.

My HTC Advantage X7500 was bought in UK directly from a HTC distributer, untouched by any phone retailer, so does not require any unlocking or IMEI checking.

I used Windows XP Home edition but I've included prpmlp's instructions for Vista. I don't know which version of Vista he used. Note that some other users reported that they couldn't get it to work on Vista.

CAUTION:
Where I live we have electricity power cuts nearly every day. If you have a power cut whilst flashing your ROM your PDA will turn into a brick. You may not be able to get it working again yourself. So use a charged up laptop or a UPS if you can.

YOU NEED:
A) The correct WM6 ROM flasher.
Download file "ATHE_WM6_x7500_flasher.rar" (about 60 MB) from here:
http://www.rapidshare.com/files/45631977/ATHE_WM6_x7500_flasher.rar
or from here:
http://uploaded.de/?id=430xr4

On my pay-as-you-go dial up link connection it took 2 hours before the download failed on the "uploaded.de" site, and then a further 4 hours to download it again from the Rapidshare site. Regrettably you can't use download accelerator programs for either of these sites' free service, so if it fails you have to start again. I found the Rapidshare connection more reliable.

B) A copy of WinRAR to unpack the .rar file. Download a free trial version.
C) WM6 requires ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on the PC (Not Vista, it uses its built-in sync program). It's free from Microsoft and others. You don't need it for the upgrade but you'll need it straight afterwards for syncing your sparkling new WM6 with your PC.
D) Your HTC battery should be at least 50% charged or the upgrade process will abort. Mine was 90%.

INSTRUCTIONS
===== Both XP and Vista =====
1) Set PDA to Flight mode (you don't want the phone to ring just as you nervously click on the upgrade program, your heart might not stand it!)
2) Connect PDA to PC and wait until sync finished.
3) On your PC, in control panel open Power Options, turn off hibernation (not all PCs have this) and set display and hard disk drives to never turn off. Turn off any screensavers.
4) On your PC, stop all anti virus, firewall, background defragger, and any other programs or tasks that might become active during the update process.
5) Unpack ATHE_WM6_x7500_flasher.rar to the PC's desktop. It contains several files including the program that we're going to use: "ROMUpdateUtility.exe". Keep the files together.
6) Get a pair of clean underpants ready, just in case. Take a deep breath and then run the program ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) The program displays instructions on two or three pages. Follow each instruction exactly, check all check boxes. The installation will begin. Oh yes it will, ye of little faith.
8) The PDA screen displays horizontal coloured bands and on the PC Windows starts searching for a USB serial driver. Windows XP finds and installs it without intervention. Vista doesn't. On XP the ROM update process continues.

XP users skip the Vista only section.

===== Vista only =====
The following steps for Vista are lifted from prpmlp's post.
9) On Vista the ROMUpdateUtility exited with "connection failed" (the PDA screen still showing coloured bands).
10) Waited 5 min and Vista displayed a message.. I chose the option for Vista to install the driver automatically ... another 5 min wait. Please note I did not unplug USB or touch the PDA during the above process.
11) The driver installed automatically.. then I ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe again.

===== Both XP and Vista =====
12) The PC screen and the PDA screen each display a progress bar. Mine took less than ten minutes to complete.
13) When completed the PDA restarts. Remove the USB cable to avoid any sync attempts until you're ready for it.

WM6 will lead you through the usual first time set up process.
Any files that you left in main storage or on microdisk will still be there.
Install ActiveSync on your PC if you need to.
Set your PC's Power Options and other things back to how you want them.

[felix999]

you need to go to www.imei-check.co.uk, pay 20 pounds and get the unlock application and key. then you connect your device via activesync,and run unlocker. it will ask you for unlock file(provided by website), select it and then cid unlocked device with you. have done all this. now how do i flash? just connect via acctivesync and run flasher or need to do something more?

can this unlock application repair a demaged Imaged Rom
I flashed it with AthenaUnlocker, but stop in step2 by 6o % and hang up

thx
