After a lot of work, experimentation and hundreds of hours of development time, AP4 is finally ready.

PK - ROM cook, and professional harasser of developers, we gave him the ROM and he chucked the crap into it.

cmonex - Special Adviser/Developer/Low-Level Hacker; when not being harassed by PK, took a few spare minutes in the day to learn C# and write a config app with Olipro in the same stretch... also saved the PDA world with revolutionary new kernel and other patches, also included in AP4.

Olipro - the Hard-SPL guy; largely considers himself to be "too good" for the menial **** and so only enjoys things such as implementing overwrite protection for SPLs with none built-in with cmonex and replacing the HTC signing certificate (oh fooking yes baby). Also found time from blowing cigar smoke in the faces of small children to write the ROM deployer.

So, Here it is:

[size=+1]AP ROM v4.0[/size]

[size=+2]Install Guide[/size]

Smartarses beware: don't try to flash from bootloader.


also, if you need the changelog, great tips and addons, then as usual, go to PK's great thread [size=+1]Athena Project 4.0 Series[/size]

P.S: yes this post has been made by OliNex, even if it is hard to believe :p

Had a successful flash.
installed Navigon
First i updated to radio 1.57 and then proceeded to install AP4.

Used my laptop, running vista home premium SP1.

Did not have to install drivers while in bootloader mode. windows never wanted any. made me a bit edgy so i let it wait 10 min. but everything went fine.

Nice and clear instructions. Kudos to the ap team :)

Btw everything working fine also wifi.
and installed Navigon 6.5 and its seems a bit faster now. might be my imagination, but i am happy

my x7501 still has the standard shipped rom on it. would you guys recommend going to ap3 first, make sure it works then go to ap4, or just go straight to ap4?

i assume i have to use the old hardspl first so i can upgrade to radio 1.57 first though so i can install ap4. my current radio rom is 1.47

just need someone to give me a few clear steps on the order i should proceed with it all.

your help is appreciated

yeah i read that entire thread earlier. just want to confirm if i need to do anything special to install radio 1.57 like install the older hardspl, or do i just plug my athena into pc, and run that 1.57 update and it will go? and then follow ap4 instructions.

nope nothing special for the radio although some people tend to take the sim and sd card out.

    You have to unlock the rom first

    i have read the beginners guide yet! and i have read that i have to upgrade the spl! can someone give me some informations? thanks

    As the beginners guide states
    "You have to unlock the rom first"
    You said your SPL was 1.1 therefore apply the unlocker first . then you will be able to apply any SPL 1.2 ROM
    If you want to use an SPL 3.5 ROM , you have to then apply the AP4 upgrade , but only after unlocking the ROM.
    hope this is clear and it is in fact straight forward , but I would recommend finding an XP machine to do these upgrades as occasionally people were having problems with vista and windows seven doesnt seem to recognise this device , although I wonder if the users had Windows Mobile Device centre installed.
    Anyway it is straightforward if you have done any unlocking previously.
