I'm going to attempt to update my Ameo very very soon (I'm scared, but I think I can make it), and have the following queries:-
Q) What is actually needed to perform the upgrade (software/hardware)?
A) A SuperCID Ameo/Athena/U1000, USB Cable, Upgrade ROM, ....
Q) On Upgrading, is the device wiped completly (Microdrive included)?
Q) Am I correct in thinking that I need to get the SuperCID unlock from the imei-checkers site? What is their turn around time?
Q) Are there any 'roll-back' instructions in case of disaster?
Q) Will there be less risk associated with the T-Mobile Upgrade (if it ever appears)?
Q) Are WM5 theme's compatible with WM6?
Q) Is there any WM5 software known to be incompatible with WM6?
Q) Is any software that is included in the WM5 image NOT there in WM6?
Q) Is there any adverse effect from using the generic image rather than the T-Mobile custom one?
Apologies for some 'newbie' questions, but I just wanted some clarification to committing to the upgrade, what with the risk of bricking the device.

1) If you have a stock standard UK T-Mobile Ameo, then download ATHE_T-MOB005.rar from http://uploaded.de/?id=wbbw2u
If you have something else, then refer to post #4 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314672
2) make sure you have 50%+ battery life, and an established activesync connection via USB
3) extact the RAR, run the EXE, be paitent and cross fingers
4) that's it!

Yes and No.
Yes - the phone memory (Contacts, SMS, installed software ect) will be wiped.
No - the microdrive is not wiped

I think they are pretty much the same although I have not don a side-by-side comparision, . ATHE_T-MOB005.rar includes the Oprea, VueFLO, TV Out, Adobe Reader, JETCET Print, Midlet Manager
It also incluse the HTC Audio Manger and HTC Task Manager (both very good!)

Some people rather a generic (or vanilla) ROM. I suspect the only diffecterence between ATHE_T-MOB005.rar and the offical T-Mobile ROM will be the branding (includion of a T-Mobile theme)
2 points
I think the only diff is the T-Mob one is for T-Mob CID devices so you don't need CID unlocking.
Pocket informant is incompatible with WM6 - they want you to upgrade
My T-Mob (UK) upgraded SIM and CID locked without a hitch.

But let's be clear - this does not appear to nbe a T-Mobile ROM (it has no branding, no automatic network settings, although these are provided by a wizard). It appears to be the HTC ROM.

Pre-upgrade queries
Hi.
I have more or less the same questions.
I have an HTC X7500 unbranded, bought from Dangaard Italy.
I read carefully the main topic, and someone said that he flashed his device
with the ATHE_WM6_x7500_flasher.rar file, without CID-unlocking it.
Is this correct?
If so, can someone tell me in which order I have to run the four exe files
included?
Thanks in advance
Mauro
I prefer it anyway...none of the pointless operator branding (and I always hated the T-M phone skin) and I don't feel there is anything missing or lacking.
Many thanks for absolutly top notch replys, particularly Spoonter!
I shall be 'violating' my device later tonight (probably).
I'll probably backup my Microdrive before operation and clear it down anyway.
One other one:-
Q) Can someone point me to instructions on how to 'backup' the current WM5 rom? I'd like to keep hold of a copy of this incase of incident!
Hope someone can also help Pumats!

I believe X7500s are CID unlocked - although someone says the dutch one is CID locked (although his sig says Ameo not X7500?) if it is CID unlocked you just need to run the ROMUpgradeUtility - and wait! it runs everything else for you and just works (or did on my UK Ameo)
Good luck.
Hi
I have a French X7500, it was SIM-unlocked but it was CID locked, so I had to buy the unlock at IMEI check before I could use the upgrade. However I didn't try the T-mobile upgrade, only the HTC001 or something.
Silviu
Thanks Confucious!
Now I have to understand if my X7500 is CID-unlocked.

AMEO can get stuck with this upgrade
I've got a T-Mobile Ameo. UK rom. Never touched SIm or CID lock.
Ran the exe program as per earler post, but for no obvious reason, Activesync lost connection at 0% and updating stopped.
The Ameo is now stuck in bootloader mode, with a white screen saying "Loading...."
I've tried getting out of bootloader (hard reset, down volume, plus reset) and it just keeps coming back to the "Loading..." screen.
A word of caution then for all of you out there... and a plea for help from someone ;-)
how to "un-stick" bootloader mode
... just incase anyone else has the same problem.
This was more luck than judgement....
I took out the battery re-inserted it with the joystick pressed in.
It re-entered bootloader mode, but this time with the colours showing and USB came up. Activesync then recognised the device again and I've got the install running again... now on 56% ... fingers crossed !!!
I would recommend anyone flashing their rom does the full unlock from IMEI-Check
Afterall, if there are problems its a LOT easier to fix a SuperCID device (CID unlocked) than one that has a country code.
Also, I was locked to TMob uk, they charge like £15 to remove just the sim lock even if they let you, so may as well spend the £20 and get it all done.
I can now use any rom and any sim, its worth the money.
Wait is better
Thanks to all for your answers.
I think I'll wait some time to see if an italian WM6 official rom will come out.
In case it will not appear, I'll follow the standard procedure to upgrade, e.g.
CID-unlock, flash, restart and ... hope! ;-)

i was gonna unlock my 8525 via pof's unlocker and downgrade solution when i read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1062526&postcount=7 I then figured it wouldnt hurt to just called cingular and see if they would give me the unlock code...i placed a call to cingular's international department and get them to send me the unlock code in less then 12 hours by telling them i was planning to go on a trip out of the country on sunday and what is the soonest i could get the code..i then acted like i didnt know anything about getting a phone unlocked and he recommended that i place international roaming on my phone yada yada yada..... i declined and asked if i would still be able to roam while out of the country.. he said yes... i said thats fine.. but i would also like to have the phone unlocked incase i would like to buy a sim and use it for making local calls in the country that i will be in.. he said sure no problem... he submitted a request and in less then 12 hours i had the unlock code in my mailbox... i hope this helps anyone on cingular trying to unlock there phone with no modding...
now the second part of this thread is relating to the bootloader versions.. now i know that my bootloader is 1.6.. is it necessary for me to still use pof's method in combination with the downgrade in order to supercid unlock my phone in order to flash the rom with different hermes roms even tho' my phones sim is unlocked....is it possible to use pof's file to supercid unlock and then reflash back the same radio with no patch and same cingular rom to have the phone back to fully stock out of the box with the exception of having it be fully unlocked with the sim and sid..... also.. .is the same necessary for flashing the radio with different versions??..from what i understand you can "unhind the ext roms to see them but not activate themm.. and in order to use the features in the extended roms do i need to be supercid unlocked in order to unlock the ext.roms??i have fit4cat tweaker installed already and it makes the changes making me feel like i am accessing the ext.rom features already... and if so when i cid unlock my phone can i just pick and chose the .cabs to install from the different options on the different roms... .. i am not in an area that supports Edge .. but when i am will it display so on my screen with a E? or is that a mod i will need to do as well.. and i also see a feature in fit4cat that enables hsdpa.. i thought my phone would default using the connectin if it was available.. am i wrong.. and the ptt hack that someone on this forum created as a .cabs.. do i need to have it supercid ulocked to use that as well...
im sorry if alot of you have answered these questions time and time again.. i have really tried to answer my own questions for the last 8 hours or so with reading the forums and wiki's.. after a while it becomes a blur...
Ps. when using mtty.exe and i hook it up following exact settings and instructions when it connects it says CLIENTCLIENT then i hit the I to type info and i get CLIENT again.. no prompt.. ??help<< i was not in bootloader mode...oops.. it worked fine after i placed it in bootloader mode

Yes, you need to patch the radio to CID-Unlock. It doesn't matter if the phone is SIM-Locked or not. This needs bootloader 1.04, you can have it by flashing cingular's 1.30 rom.

Yes, it is possible but you need to downgrade your bootloader to 1.04 for this, otherwise you won't be able to flash any radio (patched or not).

You need to have a SuperCID phone in order to UNLOCK the extrom, this means WRITE to it (i.e. delete cab files you don't need and use it as storage space, or put signed cab files from other ExtROM). If your Hermes is not SuperCID you'll be able to unhide it, but will not be able to unlock it.

It will not display "E", and the previous hack used in HTC Wizard for this doesn't work on Hermes. It displays "G" if you are under GPRS or EDGE coverage and "U" or "3G" if you are under UMTS/3G or HSDPA coverage.

Cingular ROMs have HSDPA enabled by default, you don't need to use that option from fit4cat hermes tweaker (it won't hurt if you do it), but it is there because not all roms have HSDPA enabled by default.

one more question... if i flash back to the cingular rom that is a 1.6 bootloader after i have done this whole process am i still able to flash to whatever i want providing that i have flashed from 1.6 to 1.4 unlocked sim and supercid previously.. basically does this flash the cidlock back on it.. or must i keep the bootloader in 1.4 in order to keep flashing roms
On another note.. i read these forums all night for the first time and i want to tell you Pof that you are the most helpful person i have ever come across on ANY forum board and the xda members are lucky to have you here... also extremely intelligent... thanks
extremely grateful
Abe
The main reason to SuperCID your Hermes is to be able to flash "whatever" rom you like, without having to bother with bootloader versions. If you use SIM & CID unlocker v2a to make your Hermes SuperCID it will be SuperCID forever, so the CID lock will not be back anymore.
Basically, after your device is SuperCID you only need to go back to bootloader 1.04 if you want to be able to flash extracted radio-upgrade only, as this is not possible with other bootloader versions.
is the patch u put in the radio overwritten when i apply a new rom???
the radio file is included in the rom you flash right?
or you can just find the radio file and flash that alone??
does the radio flash require it to be hooked via active synch or dissable
i have gotten Error 120 country id error twice now trying to flash ur radio flash.. any advice?

It doesn't really matter, as the RUU will kill activesync anyway, but I always recommend to disable activesync and start the update from bootloader mode (tri-color screen).

Remove the miniSD card! I had the same problem
now I get CID back, but how to change the CID to Super CID? If not, the rom doesn't be upgraded.

I tried to update my dutch T-Mobile Ameo with the rom RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00 and got at first the connection problem on the device, and after I removed the SD Card the same error 294: Invalid Vendor ID.
this problem is HTC 7500's CID not super CID, so if want to upgrade, we must have the tools to unblock the CID.

wu5262 is correct. There is currently no way of making the Athena superCID. No one, to our knowledge, has posted the utility yet. Careful guys with trying to upgrade. You might brick your phone and have an expensive paper weight if you're not careful. Not all files/posts are from reliable sources, etc. Not saying the poster is not reliable but sometimes there is not enough information for everyone's use.

Sounds good dude, One thing though - you don't have to unlock the CID/SIM unless you really want to - and unless you specifically need /want to I personally wouldn't perform that step.
Once HardSPL is on, you can flash any image using the modified RUU wrapper.
The only other things to bear in mind are really the obvious - Make sure you've backed up your odds n' sods and that you've read the upgrading FAQs in the wiki (I think you already have!) and have a quick skim through the Upgrade problems FAQs so you don't end up in a panic if something unexpected happens!
As far as I know you can't install any official '.exe' roms on a mobile running Hard SPL boot v7 although don't take my word for it. They also won't install I'm led to believe on any handset apart from the handset it was meant for.
Eg. Dopod Official rom .exe file will only install on the Dopod branded version of your phone.
I may be wrong but to install these official roms I thought an official rom had to be 're-wrapped' somehow.
I did exacty the same as you, and unlocking your phone is better for the fact that the sell on price will be more, plus you can also choose what provider you want to use it with yourself.
I have an Orange SPV M3100, which I bought on ebay to use with my 3 UK sim card, although I also went a step further and installed a non orange HTC branded housing.
BTW I'm running Schaps WM6 v4.31 it's EXCELLENT!

OK, the retail .exes are only programmed to recognise the official SPL versions (ie not hardspl).....thats why we must flash the nbh file using customRUU (which is coded to recognise hardspl).
The CID is responsible for identifying the brand of the device used, that way only HTC ROMs can be flashed onto a HTC CID device and the same for dopod/tomobile etc...
Hardspl essentially reports that the device has SuperCID so that way ANY ROM can be flashed to the device. Basically there isnt much need to CID unlock the device any more, back in the days before HardSPL this is what was normally done but olipro has pretty much tidied that up now
The unlocker is still recommended so you can use any SIM card however, just to SIM unlock it.
I managed to reflash the orange WM5 software no problems despite having HardSPL V7 installed no errors at all
how do i debrand it and get all the junk off of it from t mobile
i have managed to unlcock it (bought stuff off eby to do it)
but its really slow and sticky
any help s

Neon or Niki
Are you sure it is a Nike? If your in the US, it likely to be a Neon.
If, and I mean if, it is unlocked, then you flash whatever ROM that takes your fancy.
Do keep a copy of the original ROM to flash back in case something goes wrong.
Do HardSPL it, ie write protect the bootloader of the phone, to reduce the likelihood of making it a brick.

Provided the phone is unlocked, you can flash any ROM.
Things to do:
1) HardSPL it with 1.22 HardSPL
2) Flash the WM 6.1 ROM from HTC. It updates the radio 1.65.28.25 or 1.65.29.22 depending on version selected, and it gets rid of the T Mobile extras.
3) If all's well, give an alternate ROM a go. There are several in this forum, including mine.
Have fun.

Do have a copy of the original ROM. If phone is not unlocked properly, then these ROM flashes will fail, leaving you with a phone that is not usable. It will need the original ROM from your phone provider (t-mobile) to get it going again.
Hi i also have the same phone, a niki 200 t-mobile, and i have used the super CID unlock on the phone and changed to a lite rom, but i cant seem to get the radio to change?
Dose anyone know how i can do this? My phone is 1.15 hard.
Cheers
Is there a HSPL for the AT&T Titan yet? Goldcard didn't work Trying to flash stock rom worked, but didn't downgrade SPL So, I diffinetly need HSPL for a branded AT&T Titan. Thanks
Take a look over here at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744253. You'll have some reading to do.
If you tried the SPL / HSPL on your AT&T Titan first (before debranding) then you are stuck without a fix (as of yet).
I was in the same boat and my Titan had a memory issue and caller's sound quality was horrible, so I got a warranty exchange from AT&T. When my new one arrived, I de-branded it first with the EUR ROM, then flashed SPL / HSPL and now I absolutely LOVE my Titan (prior, I HATED it). Now (after 6 replacements & no AT&T locks) I have a custom ROM and everything is unlocked and no caller sound quality / memory problems.
Sucks for me then...

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to wait til developers come up with something for AT&T Titan. I wised the instructions included info for SPL/HSPL on AT&T Titan, Oh well.
Well they didn't know it was going to he different. In all my HtC devices, this is the first that has been different and the most complicated I must say.

Hello, if you actually checked the bottom of the guide I've written for this, it provides instructions on how to apply HSPL for your Titan, assuming you did all the correct steps on debranding it first
V. HSPL
i. Once confirming you have 2.5.xxxx.xx on your SPL screen, you will now proceed to the final part: enabling HSPL. What you will need to do is navigate once more into "DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1" (the .rar file you downloaded from DFT), and go here: >DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1>2_HSPL>DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.ex e. Open the executable and properly read the instructions.
ii. Enter SPL once more on your phone and plug it into your computer, making sure that it says "usb" in black letters towards the bottom portion of the screen.
iii. Click next on the program and read careful about what requirements you will need on the computer. Typically, it should all be there, but it never hurts to make sure.
iv. Take a deep breath and click next. It will attempt to connect to the phone. If it succeeds, continue reading the instructions the program will display. If it does not work, recheck your wire connection and that you have spl 2.5.xxxx.xx on your device, and that it is in SPL mode.
v. Make sure you select the rom version that you have (it should be the only selection there, but just make sure it is before continuing). Select next once you've made your selection.
vi. It will install HSPL. Once completed, the phone may reboot itself back into SPL mode. If it has succeeded, underneath where it shows your rom version, it will either have "DFT" or "CotullaH" written there. Mine says "CotullaH".

I know exactly where he is stuck because he is using USA AT&T Titan. The HSPL instructions doesn't warn USA AT&T Titans owners of the issue (AND IT SHOULD). So, if you following the procedure that every custom ROM points to exactly (like I did and a lot of other people did) you will be stuck on 2.5 SPL with no way out.
I haven't seen a warning to USA AT&T Titans anywhere that should say to de-brand your Titan first before attempting the HSPL or you'll be stuck.
Your outline will not help this person where he is stuck. Cotulla is working on it (I do believe).
There are a few warnings on the developer forum that AT&T branded phones must first be debranded before the phone can flashed with other roms
Ok, if you say so.

Not totally. You can still update the OS thru cab loader method to Tango and I assume soon after the 7.8 is released you'll be able to do the same. The only thing is you are stuck with crappy stock AT&T ROM. I say crappy because I absolutely hated my phone until I got custom ROM on it. Can you do a warranty exchange with AT&T?
Easy to follow thread for hspl
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684912
If you have the image (or .nbh file) and you dont have it names ETERIMG.nbh it will not flash
here's why, The HTC OEM's names the device eternity. For the USB mode to be able to recognice the correct rom to flash it has to fit the model of phone you have. ETER is the first 4 letters to its OEM name. Add IMG and you got yourself the correct name for flashing roms to your device.

I'm not sure if I have a warranty... I don't think I purchased it. Trying to understand, there's no fix to my situation as of right NOW... But somehow, can developers come up with a fix you think? Or, no matter what, I'm stuck with the stocked ATT Rom?

Cotulla is working on it (I do believe). I stopped reading the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684912) when I got my new device in and de-branded it first (there by preventing the situation that you are in), however, where I left off in my following that thread was Cotulla asking for USA AT&T testers. I have followed the email notifications that I get from that thread, and nothing new that I've seen. On pages 25 - 28 you'll find that Cotulla is (or was) working on it.
So to answer your question, I tried everything when I was stuck on SPL 2.5 and nothing worked. You are stuck on AT&T stock ROM for now. Maybe throwing $$ at Cotulla would speed the process up?:fingers-crossed:
Hope this helps

Hi, I'm currently on a debranded ATT Titan HSPLed with custom rom. Previously I managed to downgrade my SPL from euro v4 back to stock Cingular rom v1.10 These are the steps I took to downgrade:
1. Flashed stock Cingular rom 1.10 using RUU. This brings my Titan from euro Tango rom to stock cingular rom. However the SPL version was stucked at v4
2. Out of desperation, I flashed the stock TEST Cingular rom 2.01 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477189 again using RUU.
3. Please note that cingular rom 2.01 is a demo/test rom so its not functional.
4. RE-flashed stock Cingular rom 1.10. This time around it downgraded my SPL from v4 to the stock v1.10
Give this a try, and report back. If it works please before trying again to flash HSPL, debrand your titan to euro rom 2.05 using goldcard method
Goodluck.

Exactly what I've been saying. The only out right now, is to send it back to AT&T and trade for another one.

Hello there,
I had the same situation on my AT&T Titan for 2 weeks, thinking it was my Gold Card or SD, but I finally upgrade the HTC SPL to the official 2.6 from June update.
Then I reflash the Stock AT&T Rom, but the SPL remain at 2.6.
Then I quit for a while. Removed the battery for a couple of days, & tried the Debranding again using the IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_2.05.401.01_Radio_Signed_16.23.06.10_16.32.00.23_ETERNITY_RELEASE.nbh, renaming it to ETERIMG.nbh & Goldcard my phone onto this EU Rom.
Then the SPL was downgraded from 2.6 to the EU 2.5.
After that I proceeded to the DTF SPL2.5 & HSPL & voila, the custom Roms.
Hope it help.

At this point, I'm deperate. Thanks for the advice, I will be sure try this method and hope for the best. I'll try to keep everyone updated with my results in this thread. Thanks again :good:

My outline comes from the guide I made specifically for AT&T phones that need to do in order to safely debrand and install hspl.
So, if the person went to read the guide fully (where I mention several times that this process is required if they wish to install custom roms) then they can find that they'd be most likely be able to install HSPL after using my debranding method.
My AT&T Titan has HSPL applied and running a custom rom, and there's a picture guide provided in the post to show it.
However, I agree, I do not see any warnings that normally, you can't install HSPL on an AT&T HTC Titan all by itself without debranding. Honestly, there should be, because I can't count how many posts I've seen of people soft-bricking/bricking their devices.
EDIT: However, I guess I forgot to add, you cannot do anything after you applied the custom 2.5 SPL provided by DFT, IF you didn't debrand it prior. If you did debrand your phone, obviously you'll be fine. If you haven't though, then you'll be stuck along with everyone else and you'll need to get a new phone or wait for the fix.

If this actually works, we need to spread the news about. There are still a bunch of AT&T Titans locked out there on SPL 2.5. franchize1989, OP, give us an update if it worked or not. Good luck
