I'm a moron and you might be one too.

I figured out how I bricked my Athena. I used the wrong unlocker version.... I downloaded it out of the "Official Athena File Library" thread, It's still linked to the original version.

I'm going to try V3 when my replacement gets here, I just can't help myself:)

I'm certainly not blaming this on anyone else but I think that the link should be fixed considering the name of the thread. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only mornon on the internet.

Thanks for all your work Oli.

There seems to be a lack of one central location for files and radios. ie , I'v been searching for the last few days on google and yh and still haven't really found any cooked roms that would have it all. Considering that donations are a big part I do not see how someone who bricked their device due to "incorrect" file linking would donate

hmm this gives me ideas. i guess i better talk with ltxda....

Are you thinking about banning morons?

thank you lots for letting us know. i contacted the person who started the thread (part of the athena project), he's removed the megaupload link.

until your post, we've been clueless as to why so many people keep bricking their athenas.

once again, THANKS

OK, just to make sure. I have a standart X7500 with the official WM6 ROM.
Will the unlocker from the first post here:

Where it says "click here to download" work with my device?

Can someone post the correct unlocker? I'm rather confused with the files and threads floating around, so with any other newbie. Although I've been flashing past devices with cooked ROM, it is only here that I am having trouble understanding the instructions in flashing or unlocking.

i don't see where the confusion comes from, wouldn't you think the official thread for the unlocker is the one that has the right file posted by its developer.

you would, but people are morons.

Quite true but after reading all the stuff about athenas bricking. You will be confused and will not know which file to download and install. It was good that this particular thread was posted. At least there were some forum members who were kind enough to upload the correct unlocker they personally used and tested and posted the url in a separate thread. Now, I was able to unlock my athena without confusion or fear that the unlocker that I got will brick my athena.

Well I got my new Advantage and flashed it with the V3. Success! I'm now running Dual and I love it. I'd like to thank everyone who worked on the unlocker and ROM.
