Ideal thanks
So is the 566.zip the WM5 or WM6 rom and has it been tested?
Whats the new SPL?
hI ALL, can u tell me the mini guide how to install this rom? I did it once to my sda but I dont remember now, where is the nbfupdatetool and RUU and patched RUU..???
when I type l c:\wm6.bin it give me this:
clean up the image temp buffer at 0x8C080000 Length 0x01B00000 MTTYDownloadImageNot allow operation!
Error : DownloadImage return error (code = 0xFFFFFFFF)
cmd>
maybe damaged rom, or any idea?
Gang: Make sure you're CID unlocked. (Eg, when you issue "info 2", it says HTCSuperCID).
How can do that cid unlock? give me some working link to download that tool or something. thx
here you go
http//www.spv-developers.com/content/SPV-Services.zip
you must check "CID Tool (Alpha)" and click set CID=11111111
after this restart your phone
and short solutions about wm6 installing:
* installation is the same like typhoon
-unlock Super CID
-upgrade new SPL (Patched ruu)
-disable USB connection in ActiveSync
-switch off your phone
-press and hold camera button, and put USB cable to your phone
-next check "Y"
-when your phone will be in bootloader mode (tri color screen) run mtty
- check USB connection in this program
and write: - info 2
- format BINFS
- l c:\566.bin (localization of your rom)
after succeful installising reboot your phone and it will be end
rom is very good, baterry work better
hmm, thx for guide, I believe it will work, but I have little problem : now I cant even connect to activesync so I cant do cid unlock, any idea how to fix that

Thanks for helping out!
A few questions?
1. This link "http//www.spv-developers.com/content/SPV-Services.zip" takes me to Wikipedia.
2. Where can I find the patched ruu to update the spl. It wasn't in the zip file?
Thanks in advance!
to Mr MIAGY :
1. just write that link starting with www. (without http//, or type http://)
2. in ''wm6 for c550'' topic u will find patched RUU and all needed files, they are ziped together

Anybody have idea why I cant connect to activesync after spl upgrade ? Before spl upgrade it all goes well. Can I do something with it?
if upgrade was complited succes then you must turn off USB connection in Active sync, then run bootloder mode and do everything with instructions.

Upgrade reported as success
However after reboot I see the WM6 boot screen - loverly ...
Then the Mobile Operator Splash screen ... THEN
After too long ... the phone switches itself off and I have to take the battery out to get reponse again.
Any ideas?

Ok, so a report. The phone boots, goes through WM6 splash screen, then operator screen, then APPARENTLY dead black screen.
BUT I plugged in the USB cable and the screen came on! WM6 Setup screen! All good go through setup eveything looks GREAT!
Only problem is, if I leave the phone alone for a bout a minute, the screen goes black AGAIN. Then no amount of key pressing on the device will bring it back to life.
Plugging the USB cable in brings it instantly back to life! But This means I can't wander too far from my PC ;-)
ANY Ideas
BTW IT LOOKS FANTASTIC! If I can just get around this issue ;-)

Heh heh ... seems I'm posting to myself ... that's cool I like my own company ... So I reflashed the SPL and some of the problems have gone away.
Phone will boot OK now ... but it will still "go to blank screen" and require plugging into the USB cable to "wake it up"
I'm out of ideas now ...

i tried to install wm6 for my device but the install failed and i was stuck with a red, green and blue screen that displays IPL 2.28.0001 and SPL 2.28.0001.... can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
not really a problem, just flash back your official WM5 ROM.. That rainbow screen is called the bootloader screen.. Can you see usb at the bottom of the screen
I can not find the original rom for my phone
and yes i do see the usb sign on the bottom of the phone screen
Download Wizard Love Rom then... it should enable you to boot your mobile phone again!
do you want me to use the softSpl
softSPL requires you to have a working OS...
For you to be able to flash Wizard Love, you need RUU_NoID.
I'm new to this so what is the RUU_noid... my screen only has RUU on the top right of the screen

If the device has RUU in the bootloader that is easy to fix:
Connect your phone to the usb
kill wcescomm.exe in taskmanager
open mtty.exe
connect throug: \.\\wces*** port
and in the white screen:
press [enter]
->now a CMD will pop up
@CMD type:
password XTC[enter]
ruurun 0[enter]
ResetDevice[enter]
The device will now reboot
If the OS is OK it will boot the OS, otherwise it will stop at either Bootloader or 3rd splash.

Hi there, bro I can find it for you, I must just know in which country you live and what operator. Like I live in South Africa and use the wwe rom from I-mate itself as original base rom, Netherlands is orange I think, so these details needs to be known as a wrong rom might render it useless. (Bricked, dead kapoot etc....)
I have just tried flashing WM6 on to a Friends QTEK 8500, it went wrong Doh!!!.
I had already last Friday put on it the version with non wroking GPRS and this went without issue. I then reflashed my own one with a GRPS working version (went without a problem) and then tried his. I can get it into the boot loader screen but nothing else. I have tried SD card flashing (3 cards) 1x 512MB Card and 2 x 2GB card all formatted as FAT32 with file on the root the phone searches for it but doesnt find it.
Please any advise.

First of all, REMEMBER, your phone is NOT bricked until it goes to BOOTLOADER mode.
Have you made SuperCID before flashing? What firmware are you trying to flash via bootloader mode?

When you say booloader mode what does that look like. At the moment if I reboot the phone I get the HTC Mobility windows by Erofich screen.
When you hold down camera and record button and then power on the device I get brifely the white scrren looking for SD card it then goes to the tri-colour screen and does nothing.
I beleive I have CID it as I did the same on this as I did on mine i.e. ran the unlock according to the sticky.
I than put on this

When you get into bootloader screen by pressing RECORD and CAMERA buttons, then you MUST flash back to the STOCK ROM first. You can't flash any custom WM6 at this point. Only AFTER you have the stock ROM flashed, you can use SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe to app unlock the phone, and copy the SoftSPL into the phone. Then run SPL.lnk.
To summarize: The built-in bootloader CANNOT flash WM6 and can ONLY flash a stock ROM. Once you go back to stock, you can then try to flash WM6 again. Anytime a flash fails, you must go back to stock first, then try again.

This method works on Cingular ROM only, not Qtek.

Hold CAMERA and RECORD button and press power button. When it goes to Bootloader tricolor mode connect your device to PC and run official Qtek 8500 RUU. Then make a reg (app) unlock:
Download regeditSTG2 which is digitally signed: http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/387522/regeditSTG2.zip
Then install it and change some registry values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2
-> change to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16
-> change to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128

I have two phones one did work and one did not the one that worked shows version 1.02 on the tri colour screen the one I am having problems with shows 3.06 not sure if this is relevant.
Try removing the battery for about 30-seconds (or just removing the battery cover) and then put it back on. With the phone OFF, hold RECORD and CAMERA and plug in the USB while holding those buttons. It should go to the Bootloader. Run the QTEK RUU immediately after doing that.
If you sit at bootloader very long (more than a minute or so), for some reason it times out and the RUU won't work. It could be that's what's happening.

Tried that a couple of times just to make sure I was doing it correctly it goes into the tri colour screen I pressed the reflash option on the PC 1 second later this then sits there for a minute or so and times out "ERROR [260]" the phone did come on and has a USB in the bottom left corner so I presume the connection to the PC is OK.
I have just re-done mine again using the NEO rom (very nice) to make sure I am not going mad and that I did it correctly and this all went without a hitch.
Is there anyway I can get the phone to boot of a SPL on an SD Card I think if I could do this then I could get it back to 5 and start again.
No, it will only boot off the built-in SPL in ROM.
Did you try using the OEM .nbh file, naming it STARIMG.nbh and putting it on the SD card?

Yes tried that made sure formatted FAT32 etc. I know the SD card is ok because if I take my working phone and run the SPL link with the card in my good phone it finds the file and asks me if i want to reflash it. The non working phone with SPL3.06 does not do this.
You are not alone.
The bad news - the person in the post ended up having to exchange the phone.
It could be there's a bug in 3.06 SPL? Seems to be the case because I've flashed bad ROMs many dozens of times on my Cingular 3125 StarTrek and not once did I have any trouble flashing OEM ROM back on it.
Can I write the flash at a lower level with any tools i.e. pdocwrite or seomthing like that?
I don't believe so. Those programs require an Activesync connection (copies files to the phone). You could try the MTTY method, but I don't know if that works on StarTrek. I think it's some kind of terminal access into the bootloader, but what I've said so far is the extent of my knowledge about it.

I have a similar problem on a 3125 and the phone reports V4.01. I acquired the phone in this condition, so don't know how that came to be. When I try to update via USB, it tells me I need a newer update tool (to match the 4.01, I assume). What error message are you getting when you try to update via USB?
I have been struggling to flash (again) the great pro V2 rom, but I always used my VMWare based XP windows version on my Vista laptop. Today I could use a genuine XP Laptop and I could make a connection and start the upgrade!
Sounds good? That's what I thought too, until the upgrade stopped at 70% (and I didn't touch anything), because of a connection error. I followed the text on my PC screen and I finally it started flashing again for a few seconds and then my startrek suddenly restarted, but it stops at the first splash screen! I tried to get my device back to bootloader mode (push 2 soft buttons and start), but no bootloader mode, only the 1st splash.
I solved the problem.
Thank you for this thread
I tried flashing a new ROM to my i-mate smartflip and thought I had killed it, but going back to the wm5 OEM as suggested on this thread worked and I still have my phone. Now, am I brave enough to try upgrading it to wm6.1 (or even 6.5) again... Once again, many thanks!

Hi, Excuse me if this has been answered already but I couldn't find it if it has!
I'm trying to upgrade my M3100 to WM6 - Schaps 4.31. I've unlocked the phone and installed Hard SPL v7. When it goes through the Schaps upgrade, I get to the final 'next' button, press it and then the progress bar appears. The M3100 screen goes blank, activesync closes and then the upgrade hangs. Then a Error 260 conection message comes up and, after a few minutes, the M3100 bursts into life.
I've tried resetting the PC and the M3100 with no sucess. I am using Activesync 4.5 & Windows XP SP2
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Phil
Try disabling all firewalls, it may be worth trying to flash using the SDCard method. This is a very common issue I'm sure if you search the forum for 260 you will find loads of entries.
Also have a read of this which should help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462
The official Orange M3100 ROM (and probably most official ROMs) comes with a doc which explains all of the error numbers and what to do.
My suggestion would be to do the following as you'll be told to try this before looking further into it:
instead of connecting to ActiveSync and running the update .exe file, do this:
Disconnect device from desktop PC altogether;
Open ActiveSync;
Go into File > Connection Settings and UNcheck the 'allow USB' option - odd as that may seem;
Put your Hermes into bootloader mode (press and hold left-side 'ok' button and right-side 'power' button whilst soft-resetting with stylus), seeing tri-colour screen and the word 'Serial';
When in tri-colour screen, with 'Serial' displayed, THEN connect device to desktop PC via USB cable, even though you've disabled USB connections;
'Serial' will change to 'USB' on the tri-colour screen;
Run the update from Schap's or whoever.
Hopefully that will have worked. Good luck, mon ami.

Although you have Olipro's clever rework of SPL on (good), have you also Super-CIDed your M3100?

Odd. Should only do that when the Hermes believes the ROM you're using isn't meant for it.
Can't remember if the Super-CID happens automatically with the SIM-unlock using that tool or if it is optional. If it was optional, might want to make sure it actually IS super-CID as you might just be sim-unlocked maybe.
To check CID status use mtty.exe. Put your phone into bootloader, disable USB connections in ActiveSync on desktop PC (File > Connections > Disable USB connections) and then plug Hermes to PC. Run mtty and type task 32. Response "Level=0xFF" means it's NOT Super-CID. Response "Level=0" means it IS Super-CID.
Came back with "level=0" but still no joy flashing the rom.

Try using a different USB port on your PC. Don't what the difference was but it worked for me.

No that's not what I mean. In version 4.30 there was a different phone pad tothe one I have with version 4.31 - it has gone back to a wm5 type. Also - there is no 'Airplane' mode in connection manager that allows me to turn everthing off in one hit.
Hi All,
I had on my Athena the previous Michy Rom (2.04 with SPL 1.20) and when I saw the new version (4.00 with SPL 3.5):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411371
I decided to install it. Like an idiot, I did not pay attention to the fact the SPL was different... I started the flash process and when I realized my error, it was too late.
The upgrade did not completed (as expected :-()) and now I am stuck with a corrupted bootloader screen, so I can't proceed (the device does not boot so I can't access ActiveSync).
Any way forward? Thanks for any hints!

When you are in bootloader(three coloured screen) what do you see?
remove sim and sd card , hold camera button all the way in and press the reset button(on the back close to the battery cover)

Thanks - already tried!
When I reset/hard-reset the phone (tried many ways) I see a garbled boot image (with random pixels here and there)... It is definitively not the usual bootloader with the information about the various ROM components and the "USB" text at the bottom.

Solution!
I managed to do the same thing - had an old AP ROM with SPL 1.2 already installed then earlier today I tried to upgrade to the new Mitchy R4 SPL 3.5. I thought my Ameo was bricked, but after some pain it is now working again.
Here is what I did:
1) Enter bootloader mode using the very tricky Camera+Volume+Reset method.
2)

Note, I'm running Vista so to get the USB option to show in MTTY, I had to first open "Windows Mobile Device Center" in Control Panel then disable the USB.
Also, note you should find your MAC under the battery flap.
3) Now all you need to do is reset, enter the bootloader mode again, and re-try the ROM (PS, make sure you use the correct SPL version!
Hope this helps.

I managed to do the same thing - had an old AP ROM with SPL 1.2 already installed then earlier today I tried to upgrade to the new Mitchy R4 SPL 3.5. I thought my Ameo was bricked, but after some pain it is now working again.
Here is what I did:
1) Enter bootloader mode using the very tricky Camera+Volume+Reset method.

You are right and this is what sergiopi and I were referring to , specifically this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2154726&postcount=33
We were refering to the whole thread so you could learn the background.
However you are incorrect in your advice about how to enter bootloader
All you need to do is hold in the camera button and reset

Hi all
Rather than hijacking other threads I thought it might be of help to others if I start a new one.
Having spent hours trawling thru the other threads I have now concluded that I need the help of one of the wise sages such as Cmonex or Olipro.
I decided that a thread might benefit others rather than just pm'ing them.
Ages ago i bricked my ameo.
I had upgraded to spl 3.5 and had been playing with one of michy's roms. Whilst the rom worked fine the boot-up splash screen had become corrupted, I also noticed that the camera had stopped working/initialising.
In an attempt to get the camera back I tried various other roms and decided to downgrade to spl1.2 so that I could go back to a stock rom. In a moment of stupidity I accidentally tried to reflash using a spl3.5 rom.
This resulted in a invalid model id message.
In desperation I did the old vol key down and reset pin. Told the ameo to restore.
From that point onwards the unit is no longer recognised by my pc, in the tricolour boot screen it initialises and says loading 0058002 and then displays
IPL-v1.00
SPL-v1.20 Olipro
I have tried the mtty option, using different computers and different leads, have even tried running the program from the root c: to no avail.
The problem is that whilst in boot loader screen on connection to the pc there is no usb option displayed, nor is there a usb option in the mtty drop-down list.
Pdajoy kindly suggested using a mini sd card to flash the unit. I purchased a micro sd with a mini adapter. Formatted the card to fat32, renamed the ndc file booted to the tri colour boot screen and hit reset. All that happens is that is tries to boot the old fecked o/s and gets as far as a blank grey screen and no further.
I really do miss my ameo- the screen on my touch pro is just too small!!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hope is a typo error here, should be
"rename the RUU_signed.nbh to ATHEIMG.nbh"
Did you removed your SIM card before applying?
Sorry my bad for not warning you in advance.
Grey screen, you mean no text at all. Total blank grey?
Am just curious.
hi Pdajoy
I had renamed the files ATHEIMG.nbh, the reference in my post above is a typo. There was no sim in the phone either.
The screen after it tries to load the old corrupt rom is just a grey mass- nothing else, no text or images.
The two pics listed show the ameo booting and then the grey screen.

hi imaginarynumber,
Thanks for the photo.
hey 4.00 on screen, I believe your set is still spl 3.5
If it is my set, I will definitely flash AP4 again.
Best wait a little while for kind sage to drop by with to assist you.
Don't wish to see you bricks yours.
I have the same problem what can we do ?
I found a way to bring back the normal bootloader you just have tu press the reset button then you press the camera button and you will have your bootloader again
IT IS NOT WORKING you get back to the original bootloader but when you want to put back a rom even the official one after 1 percent it gets back to the grey screen PLEASE HELP
Srry athena works again place the mmty tool with mac bin file in the root of c and try again dont forget the task 32 command before the bin command that worked for me
I had the same exact problem (even the screen was the same) and didn't realize that the initial screen that shows up isn't the bootloader. fixed it by waiting for the grey/white screen, holding the volume button down then reset button and camera button + reset which brought me to the actual bootloader. From there I installed the latest AP rom, updated my radio and installed mitchy's 6.1
Big problem: Mac Address? Still getting dark screen and blue stripes!
Hi, I have follow the various steps above, however I cannot boot my Athena after words.
I am lost! I have followed exactly the steps:
1. disable activesync and put mtty into the C:/ root
2. connected athena as usb and booth with 3 colors screen
3. run mtty
4. done the cmk
5. selected port usb and created the .bin file for my SPL (1.2)
6. in mtty run task 32 and went up to: "code entrypoint unknow"
When I boot again my Athena I get the same dark screen with blue stripes:-(
You need to flash a rom

It looks like you did the wifi fixx correctly but the rom is still corrupted
Go into bootloader to confirm your SPL and then flash an spl appropriate rom
cheers
So, how to proceed now?
Dear Iakeman, all,
how can I confirm now my SPL and than flash the ROM?
I confirm that on my 3 color band screen I have:
IPL-v1.00
SPL-v1.20 Olipro
So, what is next??? If I just reset or restart the Athena in the normal way I will get back the dark screen with blue stripes and nothing will happen....
Do I have a this stage to install a new VM ROM? But I am wondering if I can do that since not sure that in this mode the Athena can communicate to my PC and so being able to upload on it any ROM....

You have confirmed that you have spl1.2 by quoting what you have seen in the tricolor screen.
Get back into that screen , making sure you have removed the sim and sd card and then conect to your computer via the usb cable.
You would have downloaded an spl1.2 rom ( you previously stuffed the radio by trying to flash an spl3.5 rom) and then run the romupdateutility .exe .
then you should be sweet!
having read a reply of cmonex to another post I am starting to think that all hope is lost.
It seems that if windows is unable to recognise the phone it is possibly the case that it is completely f*cked!!!
It would be nice if someone could clarify this...
Which WM to ul now?
Dear Iakeman,
thank you so much for your kind reply. So at this stage I can try to upload to my Athena device, basically, any spl 1.2 rom of WM 6.0, or 6.1 or even the 6.5 beta?). Or I must start with spl1.2 rom WM 6.0 ?
Yes! It works!
Hello, after so much pain, I have follow the Cmonex post 33 to fix my broken firmware and now I have been able to upload properly the VM 6.5.
Many thanks!

just a thought.
Once you finished doing mtty, did you reenable usb in activesync as per this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387454&highlight=mtty&page=2
the other thought was is the usb cable and the usb port able to sync with other wm devices? maybe the slot on your athena is faulty?
Hi Lakeman
Thanks for the reply.
It is possible that the usb port is faulty but it seems improbable that this should have failed at exactly the same time as me stuffing up the O/S.
I will try to find the cmonex post to which I am refering later today (the one that suggests that the phone is stuffed).
Tnx
when i type task 32 show this plz help
Cmd>task 32
Level = FF
