athena dies...no power on at all...when try to flash

[gab74]

I try to put AP DUAL 3.0 ROM on my AMEO with sim unlock.
Probably was CID locked, and so it was impossible to install this ROM, but here what happened....

When The Firmware Flasher rebooted the device at the first step when i pressed UPGRADE BUTTON my ATHENA died... no power at all..
I think at this passage the flashing process was not started at all, infact i did not see the tre coloured bar of the bootloader... IT DIED !!

It is impossible to power on, i try to plug the AC and no orange light...i i pull of the battery and insert the AC plug the red light is OK.....

What happens ?

Is there a way to recover my NEW DEVICE ?
Thanks to all the team !!!

So did it start step 1 at all? Did u try a soft reset on the device to see if that would boot it back up?

Try running the unlocker anyway. You might be surprised ;)

Olipro does excellent work. Or at least he didn't disappoint in the past!

See if you can get to the bootloader, what happened was that you used an older version and I'm assuming you got the x7501 which almost always is bricked when used with the older version of oli unlocker. I don't understand why they can't remove or re-label that old package, what's wrong with doing it???? Maybe less people would brick their device.

i've AMEO T-MOBILE X7500
The operating system was WINDOWS MOBILE 6

I did not use oil unlocker... i only try to flash with the ROM i say before, and my AMEO stops working before starting the flashing process.

Now my athena is died: without the battery i try to connect to ac cable and the red led lights up....when i insert the battery the red led lights off, i cannot enter into the bootloader because the ameo doesnt power on at all...

Please is there any solutions to this problem ??? It is very strange that the AMEO stop working ....before starting the flash process... infact when i push the UPGRADE button of the ROM flashing program, the ameo rebooted and died before starting the flashing process > i.e before the three coloured bars of the bootloader starts...

Any help : sorry for my bad english, i'm italian......

is there a way to power on ameo without battery ???

[Confucious]

Just try oli's unlocker!

[gab74]

Sorry, but do i use the unlocker even if the PDA is died ? If i plug into the PC USB no hardware is found ? Does the unlocker work ? And please : Where can i download the last version of the unlocker ( probably a stupid question...)

[marek101]

yes, try the unlocker anyways. Download it from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831

Ok but the unlocker told me : Athena must be connceted with activesync...mine is died..only red led without battery or no led with battery inserted.....so i do not understand how the unlocker could work..... What unlocker do i download ???

[gab74]

In fact.. i try a nothing... the unlocker works only if the athena is recognized...so only if it is power up....but mine is dead only red led without battery....no led with battery instead...

It seems impossible that a simple flashing destroy the unit !!!!

Can you enter bootloader? Hold camera button while resetting
Or hard reset? Volume down wile poking the reset hole.

[gab74]

no, no bootloader, no hard reset...
nothing....

[gab74]

OK I contact HTC the told me to send the PDA to T-MOBILE CENTER to be repaired in warranty....but i leave in italy so i cannot send the pda in england...
i sell it on ebay is someone is interested...serach HTC ATHENA XT7500 AMEO T-MOBILE on ebay.co.uk.....

[Confucious]

OK - I just had the same problem. No life whatsoever.
Simple solution:
Remove battery.
Wait one hour.
Replace battery.
All is fine :)

No need to send back to HTC

Try my thread, I am having similar difficulties, though I know some solutions, so maybe some of your questions will be answered.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528258 :)

And in summary.. try jump-starting the battery, I'm almost sure it will help ;)
