hi guys!
Thanks for the affort creating the roms and the applications and roms!
its really great to know you!
but i have a problem. This easy way with Hardspl makes more problems like the old system in my case :-(
------------------------------------- general infos
(i used PDAViet_4.0.0.5a for long time! i was really satisfied with this rom)
i downgraded to WM5 by using RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID
i downloaded the update_package, because i want to try Prophet Shadow 1.0 (Vista Aero FINAL EDITION) so i need hardspl
-------------------------------------
---- what i did:
-------------------------------------
i started the Hardspl.bak
on my mobilephone an applications started and asked to be installed (i said yes)
afterwards my pc started the RUU
but THIS stopps with the VISTA message: "Applications stops working"
the bat file says:
------------- output on pc ----------------
*****************Hard SPL for Prophet**************
** Make sure that your device is G4 before **

What did i wrong?
as i understood i dont need step 3 and step 4. (this is only used, if i have NO RUU, but as i understood the new roms are RUUs ??) step3 and step4 is used, if i wanna use the old gullums pdaviet !? (as i read in an other topic)
I tried to use RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_024721_QTEK_GER_Ship
to get an official rom on my mobilephone. but also this RUU i cannt use. every other rom except RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID
i noticed, when i have this white screen (thx to the jumpspl) i have no connection and so the RUU cannot connect. but how can i use RUU, if there is no connection with my mobilephone ?? (during white screen)
my actual phone infos
ipl 2.09.0001
spl 2.20.0001
gsm 02.47.21
os 2.20.7.34
Can anyone help me?
ahhh, windows vista. I got the same crash of the updater app (I'm on vista also).
no problems running it from my laptop that has windows xp.
no idea with VISTA.. Google it.. Maybe some one could help you.
mhh... but i solved the problem with vista by using the OLD method
i am confused. i have the usb driver of Active Sync 4 (for win XP) and only with this new USBAS i am able to Flash the rom.
I FLASHED the rom, so it cant be win Vista, or is it because of a command in bat file?
has anyone an idea???
The problem is the RUU, there isn't a Prophet RUUthat can be used with Vista. HTC didn't develloped one since they didn't release an upgrade in the "Vista age" for Prophet.
So, with the change of the drivers wich you did, you can connect at USB-level and flash the "old-style". But until someone modiefies a Vista-RUU suitable for Prophet, the "new-style" won't work.
There is a Vista-RUU circulating, but it only serves G3, it will give an error when used with a G4. you will find it here: post #14 Don't mind is doesn't show a Prophet. The modifier just didn't change the image.
woooow great!!!
THX man!!
THATS the information what i wanted! in one short answer, i know everything what i need!
perfect!
one more thing:
is it possible to convert the RUU back to the old style? that means, i have the directory for the ext_rom and all the files like in the old style with the upgrade.bat file?!?!

Good question, but I don't have an answer. I am sure it can be done (red about it somewhere, I think in the hypercore-thread) but I don't know how.
BTW: the RUU is only the Rom Upgrade Utility, it is the nk.nbf that contains the actual Rom Upgrade, so that's the one to be converted.
Hello everybody...
I just bought an PM200 (German T-Mobile Edition), WM5 says its a PM200.
After that I installed the aku 3.3 and everything worked fine...
Then I tried to install the "Charmer_Touch_GER_Ridingshark_Beta_3.2".
But while Writing the new TouchFLOW OS ROM i got the error... "Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is in use?
try restarting your device, or restart activesync
But i realized it to late and already made a Hard Reset...
Then the Touch-Flow UI tried to install and the i got the WM error:
"The file : \windows\XDADev_BatFix.exe does not exist".
But i cant go on with the install but it doesnt matter which button i push...no one responds...
Then i downloaded the XDADEV_Batfix.cab but that dowsnt work...sure because it isnt the exe file...
Can anybody help me with tha prob?
I also treid to install the WM6 update again but i always get the itsutils.dll error...
Geetings to all
Markus
Here is how to do it:
Flash back to WM5 using bootloader. Press camera button during reset.
If you see the screen with the 3 colours plug in the USB cable and wait till the Device is installed. Now run the T-Mobile uptade (Best is to use Akku3.3).
After it is finished connect to active sync and go to the Folder were the WM 6 upgrade is in. Now install the two cabs out of the folder where the WM6 ROM is in, on your device and make a soft reset. After that run the upgrade File. It will go same as before, but there will be no error and it will update completly.
Have a nice time with WM6
ChrBeck
Can i writ you a pm, it will be much better for me to write you in german...
In der PM in Deutsch geantwortet.
Answered in German in a PM.
Ok, the prob is solved.
I just want to write it down here, if anybody has the same prob...
Thanks again to ChrBeck, I also used the search in this Forum to get it solved but i could find anything useful.
The only thing I had to do was to install the to cab´s (Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab witch are already included in the Charmer_Touch_GER_Ridingshark_Beta_3.2.rar.
The first Step was to update the WM5 Version to the aku 3.3. Then I transmitted the 2 Files with activeSync and installed them on the Charmer just with thip on each File. And the last Step was to flash the new WM6...
DONE....
Its so easy if you know what to do and with help from some users...
Greetings MArkus
This is the thing I have written before. But it is not easy to understand, if you don't know much about it.
@all: And now much fun with WM.
Have a nice day

Hi All
Been dying to upgrade my Advantage 7501 and try out some of the new ROMS and the new radio on here. Went to the sticky and spent a day browsing the forums to see what I could pick up, even went to how not to brick your device thread. However I am still having issues
First thing I did was remove the SIM and SD cards, I had just reset the device yesterday so I did not reset again. I got a hold of the AthenaWrapper program and it worked as advertised. Getting into bootloader I have:
Athe100
IPL-v2.02
Athe100
SPL-v1.20.Olipro
However, this is where I run into issues. A soft reset does nothing but give me a black screen. I can get into the hard reset screen okay but when I cancel out I get back to the black screen.
Device also does not sync up with Activesync or WMDC?
Not sure what to try next or how to get back on track
Have tried on both Vista and XP.
Anyone have any suggestions
JP
Try to flash a ROM now, starting in bootloader mode. Hold the volume slider to down and then press into the reset hole.
Chooose one (SPL 1.2) from the sticky topic in the athena WM6 section
Progress
Thanks for the reply
Went back and remembered I had to flash the radio first. So I got the 1.57 update and that went as planned. One bullet dodged. Then I went ahead and grabbed some of the ROMs from the located you mentioned and that went thru as well. So it looks like I am back in business. Appreciate it.
PS I see references to SPL 1.2 and 3.5. I also read somewhere that the AP4 upgrader containts 3.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2825883). Is this just a new version of the same thing?

Just an FYI. I got things to work but not after a few more moments.... I initially tried to update to MichyPrimas 6.1 ROM and it got to 93% complete before bombing with a comm error. That was bad! Went thru the recovery wizard but it basically toasted my model id. Nothing would work. Found a copy of mtty and that did the trick. Just so other know, you need a mac address to run in the mac1.exe program. Some people report having this on the inside of their battery cover. No luck here. I did find it at the router from a connection before I started flashing. A spot of luck there. All went well and I got my model ID back and was able to resume normallly. I flashed the Black Touch PK3 ROM with WM6 for now till I have a bit more time to go to 6.1.
Anyone else have issues with MichyPrima's 6.1 ROM like I did. Looks cool and I want to try it but not if it bombs out on me and I have to mtty my way back all the time.
Cheers

No kind of rom can be installed, error from the romupdate utility from ´wrong unit id´ to ´can´t use this update tool , you need a newer one´ everything, but no rom will install. all hangs after 1% , stock-roms also.
i tried mtty, everything fine until task 32,level =0
then i want to upload the produced file (mac file generated through mac1.exe,spl1.x)
it starts uploading and ends with ´Fail to synchronize with the host (1)´
any ideas `?
ipl-v2.02
spl-v1.20.olipro
nothing works, only bootloader.
i can connect with mtty, but not upload files.
no rom update works..

please people, READ!!!! someone above your post just told you to flash 1.2 rom, in BIG RED LETTERS.
the AP4 is what upgrades you to SPL 3.5, then you won't have a problem with 3.5 roms
(btw good thing this reminds me to release a separate 3.5 SPL upgrader)

please read my really detailed instructions a bit more carefully. I could bet you skipped the part about trying to copy all the files and mtty to C:\ or the step saying click OK for the small popup in mtty. or the warning that you need to type full filename includign the .bin file extension.
also i hope you use the version of mtty i posted
if that's not it, you can also try a different PC
So, after first succesefull flash of my tytn I took friends mda vario 2 to do the same. And bricked it!!!
Because of first unsuccesefull flash when I downloaded RUU_inside.nbh file into HardSPL7 directory. So, I connected vario and started RUU_wrapper. BUT in a next few seconds I realised that I am upgrading ROM instead of HARDSPL-ing File inside was from DopodAsia WWE.
Upgrade stared, in a 30minutes it stucked in 24% and I disoconnected PDA. After that it stucked in bootloader! SPL 2.03!
I tried to do HardSPL after-no help. I tried to install ATT Stripped ROM- error on 1%. I downloaded official WM 5.0 GER - no help again.
Few more attempts of flashing HARDSPL, and ROM-s via RUU-wrapper didnt help eather. THEN JUST SOFTRESET: I saw dopod bootsplash screen, and windows started normally!!! I couldnt believe, because I was prepparing to do that complicated procedure of unbricking.
After starting windows I just did HARDSPL and ATT stripped ROM: All OK UNLESS GSM!
Is it possible to fix??
To +Que PPC and boog321: thanks to earlier advices!
OK! I flashed RADIO ROM 1.56.70- IT WORKS!
Guys who are making this software are fenomennal
hahaha!!!!! Nice experince man!!!
Well i think we all has to thank to Olipro! POF! and many old XDA members that makes this posible!!!
Keep it up.... and for the enxt device please... read eveything two or three times! hahaha and please don overwrite files... its better to make new folders!
Keep it up!
haha, thanks Que...
I was in a hurry, so I just connected PDA and start wrapper. I shocked when a I saw wrong .nbh file, but it was too late. But luckely it looks like new ROM was partly OK and I was able to start WM, then flash HardSPL and WM correctly.
Both hermes are working fine.
P.S. I would like someone to put simple guide for people who only want to change their ROM to simple WWE, and have some experience.
1. Download HardSPL7 and unzip to folder on PC
2. Download ATT ROM and unzip to different folder on PC
3. Connect via ActiveSync
4. Start RUU wrapper from HardSPL folder and follow instructions
5. See if you flashed correctely (in a bootloader must be 2.10.01olipro in SPL)
6. If its OK than reset, start WM on PC, connect via ASync and start RUU-wrapper FROM ATT ROM folder, choose autodetect or SPL you have seen in bootloader screen - accept everything....Wait for 10min and enjoy in ENG ROM!
Thanks Oli, Pof and all others of course!
Ok, after 2 days of fighting, sweating, a pc hdd full with roms,tools,mtty,etc...
...i'm giving up. i am posting a help request for the first time since i am a xda user,
and that's been for almost 2 years now. i rather solve problems by doing research on the xda forums but this time i am out of energy.
i had an raphael before where the hacking process was pretty straightforward
and flashing a cooked rom was really idiotproof.
now i got an cool athena in my hands. i was like yeah, let's flash baby....and
the original OS didn't even last for half of a day. quick enough i realised that
this baby shouldn't be flashed the raphael way - the sd card method...
ok let's get on topic:
what i did:
flashed with the AP4 SPL 3.5 AthenaUpdater (following the howto exactly)
and well. that worked fine. the OS was booting and everything. but to my
surprise it looked like that AP4 update flash thing didn't ship another cooked
rom, but flashed my SPL only. i rather expected a SPL, CID unlock and ROM
install in one single package. i don't know what made me think that, since the
raphael has to be flashed with different stuff too before beeing able to...bla
since i was so happy to find that AP4 update howto i guess i was assuming
that this is the whole deal since it doesn't say anything about seperate CID
unlocking in that .pdf
anyway, i looked for a cooked spl 3.5 compatible rom and there i found it:
[ROM] *Updated Mar/4/2010* AGB V3.00.0 (WM6.5.5 build 23534)
and well, that was basically it. the flash went ok, but after booting only
the rom's splash screen appears and nothing further happens. hard reset
doesn't help.
i tried a few other roms after that, and again. only the rom-specific custom
flash image appears and nothing happens.
tried to flash the AP3 for SPL 3.5 ROM - same thing: flash screen says "operating system is loading", which is an bitmap picture i guess...
downgrade to SPL 1.2 doesn't seem possible since this requires a running
WM, which i don't have.
bootloader works by the way, hard reset works too, but no fix...
after a little reading i get the idea that i should have cid unlocked the device
before flashing with a cooked rom? or did i something else wrong?
any help would be appreciated
oh yeah, and mtty:
the recover from invalid id procedure doesn't fix the issue.
and:
set 14 0
task 8
doesn't fix anything too, just boots the device into the never ending flash screen....
quick questions
what does your boot screen say
and did you remove your sd and simcard before flashing
yeah, the i ofcourse removed the sd card and sim card before everything.
i am at work now but afaik my bootloader screen says:
ATHE100
IPL 2.02
SPL 3.50.Olipro
before the attempt with mtty it said
ATHE400
IPL 2.02
SPL 3.50.Olipro
something like that. is that helpful?
i'm wondering that almost nobody replies. is the athena projcet kinda dead
or am i just asking BS, i don't know. anyway, i'll keep this one posted.
i have a new status of my athena: it boots a ROM for the first time. i have flashed
it with a test rom, called:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Base ROM (Testing)
It can be found on the athena latest ROM links page.
And ofcourse there is a BUT(T)....
BUT..the configuration wizard keeps looping. Means the device boots WM6.1,
asks me to calibrate the screen. after that touchflo (or sense) shows up for a few seconds, a progress bar appears and installs some (invisible) stuff and the device reboots. Normal behaviour you'd say, but the calibration screen comes again, and the progress bar too, and reboots, and again, and again...
maybe somebody could tell me how to stop that process? it seems like the
device doesn't save the first time setup settings. how to fix it?

Hi mate
I live in a different time zone and my daily email about updates to posts comes late in my day and probably when you sleep.
There are not many people who use this device and it is really a legacy machine.
However your post gives a clue to what happened.
with the bootscreen showing athe400 initially are you sure you have an x7500/x7501 or is it the x7510?
Just make sure before you follow the solution in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387596&highlight=endless+loop
the roms are very different
Check out exactly which hardware you have
this thread is from the x7510 thread and may be worth a read if you have the x7510
Additionally cmonex has the knowlege to fix your issuues if the above doesn,t work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441684
thank god, somebody replied with useful information
well, i must be honest i didn't pay too much attention on the model number.
after reading your post, i checked and i see that i have a X7510 advantage device.
which means as far as i can understand it:
i SHOULD have the modelid ATHE400?
which means, i messed it up by flashing it with mtty to modelID ATHE100?
which means, all the time i was installing X7500 stuff on the wrong device
and bricked it that way?
so the AP4 3.5 SPL solution is not for X7510?
which means, the AP4 3.5 SPL is a hard SPL but for another device?
and after all, what do you suggest? do i need to revert my modelID
to ATHE400 and if yes, how? and after that i should follow the 2nd
thread to install a proper hardSPL and a WM6.5 ROM of my choice?
try contacting cmonex
the author of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441684
wrote the script you used to change the device id and may have a way to reverse this
good luck
lakeman, my friend!
you pointed me to the right direction. i followed the steps for installing
hardspl for x7510 from cmonex, and yeah, the modelid changed back
to athe400 and the device was booting! seems like that hardspl also
corrects the modelid automatically.
i am still curious why the device was working after flashing with AP4 3.5 SPL
in first place, since that one is actually for X7500 devices.
i should 've read some more before going to flash that thing, i must admit.
many thanks to you lakeman, and big ups for that cmonex guy!
now it's time to look for a nice wm6.5 rom for my ATHE400
fantastic
happy to help
