Default t-mobile Ameo Rom Upgrade

Hi all,

I have the t-mobile ameo running windows mobile 5

I was wondering if rom upgrades are specific to the device

There are a couple of mobile 6 live versions floating around on the net and

This web site like the xda exec and the Hermes rom upgrades

Would these work on the ameo?

Or does any1 know when there may b an official release?

Thanks

NO THEY WONT. Dont try it.

Wait for the official Athena WM6 upgrade from HTC.

Also, T-Mob may release it, otherwise wait for somebody here to customise the HTC rom for T-Mob Ameo's.

If your not sure, dont touch. You can brick your phone!

Heh, my post looks a little rude.. I was just typing quick to warn you before you messed up your phone.

Each rom has to be made specificaly for each phone. Any attempt to put a rom from one phone onto another will almost definately completely kill the phone.

Rom flashing is not something you want to do unless you are experienced. Your best option is to wait, wait, and then wait some more.

Even after the rom comes out, dont use it. Wait for other people to find all the problems. There are experienced people here who can deal with issues that could end up costing you a phone. When the upgrade has been tested and used by many people, then think about it. Read all the posts about the rom, find all the issues and make sure you are totally prepared.

Better safe than sorry!

Please take heed of the abpve advice. I didnot and have bricked my Ameo! Completely dead! I have had to buy an HTC X7501 to replace it.

Does anyone know what you can do to reactivate the Ameo or do i just use it as a sinker?

Default Bricking your Ameo

Warning don't try to upgrade your Ameo to Windows mobile 6. I tried using supposedly reliable download site and wham bam! my ameo is now a brick. I ended up buying another HTC x7501.

Does anyone know what I can do to reactivate my Ameo? Or do I just use it when I go fishing as a sinker?

Sorry to hear that
If you could have accessed the bootloader you could have resurrected it.
Are you sure the battery has a reasonable charge?
Try swapping batteries with your 7501.
If not maybe you could donate ot to Project Athena
