Hi there!
I finally exchanged my MDA VARIO for a HTC Hermes (AT&T 8525). The device is already SIM / CID unlocked and I successfully flashed it with a German WM6 from O2.
My question:
Does anybody know if I can flash the device with any HERMES ROM? I would like to flash it with the German T-Mobile version but as far as I know the German T-Mobile version is a HERM300 and the German O2 is a HERM100 (like the AT&T 8525). Does that matter for flashing?
You can flash any Hermes ROM on any Hermes model.
The different models are just different housings.
Here some more info (scroll to the middle of the page):

Yeah,
tried it already by myself. Still a problem: I flashed the German HERMES WM6 (for HERM200) and it worked fine. Afterwards I tried the German T-Mobile (HERM300) - flashing process went fine. However, it was hanging at the splash screen. The only one thing I could do, was, to enter the bootloader manually and flash with the DOPOD version again.
Yep, does not look like there is a compatibility between a HERM100 and HERM300!
I tried once more to flash the device with the German T-Mobile WM5 (HERM300) and it does not work - hangs on SPLASH again and is saying on startup: NO GSM

I too had problems at first after having my phone both SIM and CID unlocked. I used the flasher program the LOVE ROM and then copied the WM6 ROM file I wanted into it's directory and flashed from there, worked great!
Its working now
Evryting is working allright...
Thanks to evryone...
Hi guys,
I am an IT-student from Germany having a serious problem. I tried to unlock my German T-Mobile Ameo (HTC Advantage 7500) with Olipro's AthenaUnlocker. Unfortunatly, after the second step (flashing) the Ameo did not boot anymore. I am quite sure I screwed something up after the flash was completed ...
However, I can only access the hard-reset screen by pressing the volume-key down and the reset button at the same time AND the SPL (bootloader???) by pressing the camera button and the reset button. On this screen it says:
ATHE100
IPL-v1.00
ATHE100
SPL-v1.20.Olipro
How can I get Windows Mobile back up and running? I would prefer Windows Mobile 6, however I would be clad about everything THAT WORKS!!!
ANY ADVICE???

Sorry for bothering you! I found the fix here in the forum. Just re-installed the orignal ROM image from T-Mobile Germany.

you are lucky atleast you have the boot-loader. my loader is screwd and cant do nothing. bad news is it is hard to find t-mobile german rom (if your cid is not unlocked). if CID is ok flash any WM6 rom and everything will be koool
Hi xdaking,
I could recover my Ameo just fine. I went into the boot manager and reflashed the original T-Mobile German image, which is available in the file section of the Athena-Wiki on this site. Afterwards I downloaded the latest!!! version of OliPros Unlocker Tool. This time everything worked just fine. At the Unlocker Tool finished, I installed the German HTC Windows Mobile 6 image for Athena.
Now I got a unlocked, updated T-Mobile Ameo / HTC Advantage X7500.
hi there, i have received a tytn from germany, it had wm5 in germany,i did sim and cid unlocker and flashed it with hardspl7 to put shaps portuguese rom.
the thing is, every time i put a wm6 rom the tytn freezes at htc splash screen.
to unbrick it, i have to put an wm5 rom with 1.04 spl and it freezes again at splash screen, this time saying "No GSM", have to flash a radio rom and it backs to normal.
i dont know what i can do to tytn loads a wm6 rom...
It is impossible to flash wm6 in this tytn??
thank you all
i'd say... it's definately wrecked... i got a german-tytn myself and it's working fine under wm6
sure u're not using a pre-branded device?
no, its a htc tytn - hermes 200... its working 100% with wm5.
but with wm6 it doesnt pass the splash screen...
its not the first time i upgrade a tytn, but this is happening for the first time, its really strange.... i dont what i can do more..... any help?
thank you
Any help please??
Thanks
Hey, i recently purchased a HTC Prophet (branded SPV M600 from orange) from a friend.
Since then i managed to get a WM6.1 rom on (shadow 2 i think)
Anyway, back when i did this, i found it very hard.
My prophet is not hardspl'd and i've having trouble changing the rom.
In my effort to change it, i 'bricked' it, however recovered it using one of those WM5 roms.
So my details:
IPL 2.20.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
Currently i'm running a WM5 rom, however i have managed a WM6.1 rom before, but cannot seem to do it again, whenever i get it installed it just boots to the bootloader.
When trying to HardSPL it just gives generic cannot connect errors.
I've used Prophet Tools aswell as manual guides but to no avail.
Am i doing something wrong?
And btw i'm using WinXP
Cheers, James
Hey, turns out i wasn't following instructions properly - probably due to my tiredness!
I wasn't pressing the camera button on white screen... DOH!
Problem now solved and running 'Vista Clean'
Cheers,

My dear ol' Qtek is Stuck in bootloader screen (tri-color) after a flash gone bad.
From what I can gather in the forums (and wiki) I need the vendor ROM to put it back on it's feet again.
Today the Boot reads.
IPL 2.10
SPL 2020.0001
I have tried the NVID ROM, it runs (with the progressbad going red a few times on the phone) once it's done the phone resumes the taunting boot-screen with the same information as above.
I have tried the G4 SPL update and the updated passes with no errors, and the Qtek boots in an ALL GREEN screen with the same IPL.SPL as above.
I know the original OS was Swedish, but I cannot find one anywhere.
What are the alternatives from here?? Thankful for any help I can get.
Here
I´ve uploaded it for you on Rapidshare.
It´s the original ROM from the old Qtek webpage.

Hoppas det funkar.....
Link doesnt work, anyone have this swedish rom?
I could need this as well. Anyone with a swedish original rom?
