Hi there,
My X7500 internal GPS seems to have a defect. The slightest touch makes it lose it's fix as if there's a loose contact. My x7500 is SuperCID (IMEI-Check) and has OliPRO hardSPL.
Is there a way to downgrade to the latest WM5 version prior to me sending it back to HTC for repair?
Cheers
I can confirm that with superCID and OliPRO I haven been able to succesfully up&downgrade back & forth between WM5 and WM6
FYI
With one exception. When going back to WM6 I lost my radio 1.45 in the process. I was stuck at 1.38, and upping to WM6 did not bring back the later radio stack.
*Update* Olipor's unlocker nicely took care of that. I now actually managed to combine rom 2.20 and radio 1.47. Thx Olipro for a helluva job building the unlocker! The only thing now is to see whether radio 1.47 improves some of the GPS reception. If not, it's down to WM5 and back to HTC with this puppy.
Do you have the unbranded version of X7500?
Which ROM did you use to go back to WM5?
I have the HTC Generic X7500 (originally Dutch). I used RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00.00_Ship.exe to go back to WM5, but the prerequisite is OliPRO *and* superCID.
OliPRO's unlocker will do that for you and gets you these two prerequisites.

Can it be done? Also which ROM should i use? I prefer to wait for the official release from ATT/Cingular.
If you want an official Cingular/AT&T rom, well then you only have one choice, the rom that was purchased with your device.

Hi. Please I need help
I am using a 8525 (SIM unlocked and SuperCID) device with HTC 1.18.416.1 Rom. Cingular rom do have problems with MMS for me in my country (don´t works), but HTC 1.18 hang up constantly my phone although MMS works fine. With Cingular 1.34 phone works fine (no hang up), but I have the MMS problem.
I do have the HTC Rom ship 1.35 for upgrade and for install right now, but on Wiki I read that the SPL or IPL would be upgraded to 1.09 and is not possible downgrade to 1.06 or 1.04.
Any methods for avoid it????, The explains are very confusing for me. Any help for the upgrade to HTC 1.35 Rom, without the 1.09 ipl or spl problem.
I don´t want problems because when it be available I need chage the rom for my language. In this moment no upgrade rom is available in my language.
Thank you
Im not concerned bout getting the original radio but just want to go back to the original rom. I have installed LVSW's version of WM6 and is running into some things that I rather not mess with as far as bugs and all. Now can I just DL the ROm and be straight TIA
I assume you havent read my WM5 Downgrade guide then?

Thanks for the tip. I'll get to reading some more. Appreciate it.
I did one recently using the most recent AT&T WM5 version. Using SSPL to downgrade, I was also able to change IPL/SPL back to stock versions.
Total Downgrade from WM6 to WM5
Sleuth255,
Just wanted to ensure I understood your process in downgrading from a WM6 rom to a WM5 rom.
Scenario: I am currently using Custel's 2.5(WM6) with radio 1.40, IPL 1.04 SSPL 2.10 Olipro.........
I wish to down grade to the "Stock" Cingular 1.34, with the stock radio 1.3xx
If my thinking is correct, I should be able to run SSPL 1.10 (Olipro) and then flash the WWE ship.exe for the 1.34 which will put the stock IPL/SSPL on the device.........
Am I out in left field with a football uniform on, or is the goal line reachable?????
Thanks,
vpu2....OUT!!!!
follow mrvanx's guide. It shows how to do everything. I went from the 1.41 radio, the 2.1oli spl, and dutty's rom back to a 100% stock phone that was capable of being flashed by the file that you can get from HTC's website... i did all of this using Mrvanx's guide (and the search function)... this link may help a little as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301219&highlight=downgrade+the+SPL
Hello everybody!
Could someone tell me if it's possible (and how to do it) to upgrade only the radio part? And where do i get the 1.47 (the last one?)? Now I have an Advantage X7500 wm5 1.25 with radio 1.38.
Thank you for your time!

I went to a combination of the 2.20 rom for x7500 plus radio stack 1.47 out of the x7501 by performing the follwing steps
1- Run OliPRO unlocker (all 3 steps!)
2- Flash to WM5 (you get radio 1.38)
3- Flash to WM6 x7501 (you get radio 1.47)
4- Flash to WM6 x7500 (radio 1.47 stays put)
Thank you!
I'll try your method.
Olipro or others, Possible to do separate installers for the Radio ROMs? I know they did this with the Wizard so that people could choose their radio independent of the ROM.
Hi,
A few weeks ago I upgraded my T-Mobile Vario 2 to WM6 using the TMUK official update. I like WM6 but now need to downgrade back to WM5 because my satnav software (Route 66 Navigate 7) doesn't work on WM6! I've downloaded the WM5 rom from TMUK but it won't install - it puts the phone into debug mode (the multicoloured thing) but then waits for a while before coming up with an Error 260.
I've read all the guides and used the search but can't find an answer - this is a "stock" phone, not unlocked in any way and I'm only using the official operator's ROMs. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Tim

read this it seem to be the same error
Thanks - but I was hoping to avoid having to unlock the phone. As I understand it I shouldn't need to seeing as I'm trying to install official operator roms?
Cheers,
Tim
what is your bootloader version (HINT HINT)
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.03
I thought none of that mattered if I have only ever used official TMUK operator roms? I went from an offical WM5 to official WM6 and now I'm just trying to go back to official WM5? Whilst I trust the people on here more than I do TMUK support they say there should be no problem doing this.
Thanks again,
Tim

Since the old RUU isnt aware of the newer SPL version you have that is why it doesnt work.
Follow the guide for downgrading HERE.
BRILLIANT! Thanks mrvanx. I put HardSPL on using your instructions, then followed the WM5 downgrade guide. Only problem was that autodetect of my bootloader didn't work, and my SPL version wasn't listed so I had to use SafeSSPL. Seems to have worked, thanks again.
Cheers,

Hi,
I won an auction for a T-Mobile Ameo and started to do my homework, while the phone doesn't arrive.
I already own a BlueAngel and two Universal, so it should not be that new to me. However, I do have a few questions:
SPL: as I understand it, this is like a second stage boot loader. There is the V1.2 by Oli, which is like patched to allow any firmware to be installed, as oposed to the original one, which only allows to flash signed firmware matching the country ID. Is this more or less correct?
SPL 3.5: there is a new second stage boot loader, which is required for WM6.1 like the AP4.0. Correct?
Downgrade back to SPL 1.2: this is now possible again?
Last question: there seems to be official 6.1 firmware versions from T-Mobile.
Can I just upgrade the WM5 untouched Ameo to the official WM6.1?
What if I have the german WM5 and want to use T-Mobile's WWE 6.1 instead of the german one?
Is there any stupid combination of firmware and SPL that will lead to a brick or a dead end?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
vma

SPL 3.5 is for ROMs adapted from X7510 (but not for X7510)

You must make superCID in your X7500 (>>>SPL1.2)

I think ROM for SPL3.5 in SPL1.x and for SPL1.x in SPL 3.5
Thanks for the resonse.
So here is the sum up for all Newbies like myself:
****************************************************
The Hitchiker's Guide to understanding SPL on Athena
****************************************************
1) SPL = second stage bootloader
2) Athena 7500 is originally shipped with SPL 1.2
3) Athena 7510 is originally shipped with SPL 3.5
4) for different firmware to be loaded, one need a hacked SPL, that allows flashing unsigned firmware
5) There is a modified SPL 3.5 for the Athena 7500 that allows WM6.x firmware, ported from the Athena 7510 to run on the 7500
6) SPL 1.2 and 3.5 are incompatible, regarding firmware, due to the different amount of memory reserved for the ROM. A SPL 1.2 firmware won't run on SPL 3.5 and the other way around, neither. Trying to do so, will make the black screen or reset loop happen.
7) to get SPL 1.2 Olipro (the hacked one), you need to do the UNLOCKER procedure (search sticky)
8) to get SPL 3.5 Olipro, you need to install AP 4.0 (it's a WM6.1 firmware, that installs the SPL 3.5 Olipro as well)
9) to be able to install SPL 1.2 compatible firmware again, you need to follow the DOWNGRADER procedure (search sticky)
10) if you want to have, for warranty issues, the original SPL 1.2 back, you need to install an official dump. I am not 100% sure about this one...
****************************************************
I hope my statements are correct. If not, please let me know, so this post can act as a beginners first read. Currently I have to confess, that it is quite confusing to understand these 10 points... And I am already familiar with modding the BA, Universal, HP 514, VDA GPS, etc.
Thanks,
vma
PS: Yes, I ask silly questions, but still I try to bring something back...

No, X7500 original is SPL 1.1
Is there a way to go back from i.e. SPL 1.2olipro to official SPL?
Thanks,
