i agree, when i first got this phone in late feb 2007 or early march, i thought it was the same speed as the phone before it which was the hw6515 and it had half the mhz but its ok
Sergiopi is dubbed moderator, and the single most useful sticky in this forum appears. Very nice keep up the good work. Maybe its just me, but i'm quite sure there has been a serious lack of moderation around here.
Sergiopi,
Good effort, and thank you for this thread. May I suggest that you indicate the spl needed besides every of those ROM, and give a link to the correct unlocker too?
Cheers.
Congratulations Mod
I thank you for your past and future contributions which I have found most useful .

China's ROM is the author of the first deadwood, the starting correct!
Sergiopi,
I think the above post meant to say that he's not the author of the chinese ROM, but a guy by the name of deadwood is.
Also, you might wish to include the spl1.2 version of the same ROM mentioned in the other thread.
Zqx0521, am I understanding you correctly?
Cheers.

I suppose it is because these people have genuine difficulties in expressing themselves in English and understanding English. Same reason for other post in German, French etc on our Athena forums. Personally, I think it is not okay if they do it on a thread meant for everyone here. However, on thread which are specific to those who understand the language, I don't see why not.
Anyway, the post by the author of the ROM, expressing his madness, has nothing to do with the language, but probably the fact that someone has posted his work without his permission.
Actually I have great interest in his ROM, although using in Chinese is going to be very challenging for me. What I understand is that it is based on Diamond's ROM, which is just about the latest. If it works in Athena, I think our wonderful cooks could use it as a starting base to modify to English. Would'nt that be nice.
朽木头, I think you have a good piece of work there. We all know it was due to your great work that this ROM is posted here. I believe that zqx0531 has told everyone that you're the real author. We hope you don't mind your ROM being shared here.
Eaglesteve, have genuine difficulties in expressing myself in English- and I am English!
I guess these people are just too clever for me

Athena (HTC x7500) rom update
to all you ROM chef out there.
I have the HTC x7500 with Athena Project Black Dual by PK 3.0 (SPL 1.2) installed.
1- Since the HTC diamond and the HTC touch pro is out on VGA, has anyone tried to make a new rom using these ROM?
2- From going over this forum, I couldn't make out if there was a new ROM which includes windows mobile 6.1. am i mistaken?
Thank you,

Hi Folks,
I was needing a stock WM 6.0 T-Mobile ROM to run from SPL 3.5 so I extracted the RUU and sent it to our friend Irus, the result is here for all to use. He has kindly altered it to load on those who ONLY have SPL 3.5 on their Athenas. Many thanks to Irus for his continuing hard work on this forum. This rom is otherwise as you would get from T-Mobile, but adds to the list of Roms us SLP 3.5 users can have. If anyone wants the normal SPL version can get it free at the T-Mobile site.

hi
i want to know which is the lastest wm 6.5 rom ????
and also how to upgrade to 3.5 spl or whatever its called
and whats the benefit from 1.2 to 3.5 spl ?
thanks
Hello,
Before you get into flashing a WM6.5 rom you MUST read about it in the WiKi first about SPL's and why they differ. You ca screw up your device if you dont!
Regards
Jay

SPL 3.5 partitioned about 20mb more memory to use for the Rom. So in other words AP 4.0 was to large to fit in the SPL 1.2 partition when it was finished, so Olinex developed SPL 3.5, and this robbed 20mb from the Program side (I think), to make room for it to fit. You can downgrade again to SPL 1.2 easy enough, but you must use the right rom with the right SPL. As a result you will find that some same roms (for example, Michy 4.1) comes in both SPL's the SPL 3.5 will have a few more bits of software in it or added UI.
Hope this helps
Jay
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

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?
