If you're able to get to bootloader, you're not brick. If you have CID unlocked it before, just reflash with the stock ROM first. Then, unlock your device before flashing with another ROM.

You can first get into bootloader, then connect the usb cable, then run the ROM update program for your original ROM.

Right click on the RUU_Athena_HTC.... exe file and choose extract into a folder. It will break up that file into many components, once of which is the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Then run the ROmUpdateUtility.exe program. You also need the other componets in the same directory.

Hey,
I'm pretty new here but I hope I can get some help here.
I got myself a HTC X7550 (Athena) and when I connected it with activesync a romupdate started through a mistake by me.
It told me de vendor ID was wrong but instead of restarting,
my ROM image on the device was GONE.
Is there a way to know the vendorID and to find the original ROM image?
Regards FRaccie
Download the zip fiel called: Hard-SPL(2).zip
Than have your x7500 plugged to your pc and make sure you are on the bootloader (the 3 color screen).
Now unzip the file and copy the files to a different folder and than run the file:ROMUpdateUtility.exe
This will get you out of there and you can reset the x7500 once it's done.
After that download the file:AthenaUnlocker.zip and follow the instruction on the screen. After that you could install wm6.
Which Hard SPL version?
Hello, which version of Hard SPL should we use? for the athena? am having the same problem as the above concern. kindly provide full link to the file. tnx.
See attached file (if it uploaded). If not you can search for it here in this forum.
Unlock in Bootloader
Hi JasJarMan. Your attached file was for Trinitiy device. Can this also be used for the X7500 ?
I need to unlock my X7500 from Bootloader if it is possible.
I can not find any ROM that installs on my X7500 and I am stuck in bootloader. My Telephone supplier has not released the original ROM as a flash- file and therefore I am afraid my device is currently bricked.
If I could get it back in original state I would be very happy and try unlock it before flashing again.

Thanks Boinger66 but according to the video / docu in this tread, the unlock are done in x7500's operative system. I am currently at Bootloader because I can not boot the device with any operativesystem.
Can the unlock application in the tread also be used in bootloader "modus" ?

It can't be flashed that i have been downloaded..
IDK what to do now...
i have tried replacing XP drivers on my VISTA..
donwloading lots of RUUs and...nothing worked
this is very stressfull problem.
sometimes i managed to get to the UPDATE button but after the machine booted after WHITE-SCREEN,the RUU simply crash(after the device disconnected from WMDC)
I think this is because Vista cannot be used to upgrade ROMs reliably.
so..anything suggestions i can do to flash my prophet?
it can work (at least with a G3), I've been flashing ROMs for a few months now on my Vista machine. The key is to follow step-by-step the instructions and use the proper RUU.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385466
as long as you have a G3 it will work. There very well may be a RUU that will work for G4, but I haven't researched it.
If you are lucky to have a G3, there is a specific RUU that works with Vista after the driver-change.
But for the rest of us there is no way to use the RUU under Vista. You have to use XP: on another PC, using VM-Ware, or using a dual-boot setup.
EDIT:
This is not entirely true. I do have a RUU that works with my G4, but I am not able to replace the nk.nbf with any other file. Perhaps somebody can dive in to this? I have posted this RUU on my SkyDrive. I don't think you have to have VIsta, but just find out why the nk.nbf can't be exchanged.

By "Can't change the nk.nbf" do you meanthe flash won't work, or that the RUU refuses to use a different nk.nbf?

The last, if I exchange the .nbf, the RUU protests, saying it can't read the file.
That might be because the RUU is checking if the nk.nbf is signed or not. I can't remember exactly how a *.nbf file is formatted, but I am fairly certain there is some for of signing of the file...

You can get GPS working on the xv6800 MR1 ROM by using the program listed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387
This does not require flashing a custom ROM if you want to do that. Be aware that flashing to MR1 programs the firmware to operate in locked down GPS mode, which will make it difficult for you to get GPS working on a custom ROM without using the adapter program I wrote up + injecting the Verizon GPS driver into the custom ROM.
Note that this does not provide access to VZ Navigator, so you will have to supply your own GPS-enabled app (e.g. Google Maps).
In other words, there are two different approaches you can take here:
- If you are on the original xv6800 ROM, then you can flash to a custom ROM and get GPS working there.
- If you are on the MR1 xv6800 ROM, then you can try the adapter program I wrote, and get GPS working for most of your programs on MR1, without having to flash to a custom ROM.
Well I used the hard-spl-MFG.exe to flash the SPL but now my phone only boots to the three colored splash screen and show SPL-2.40.
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
That should be the boot loader. Now load the Radio ROM that you have. You might only have the SD Card version, so maybe you need to name it correctly on the Card and reboot into the boot loader again so it will read the card. Hopefully you have formatted it correctly?
I think I'm lost. I ran the SPL via active synck. Now I need to run the radio by putting it on the SD card?

Depends on which ROM file you got. It might be an EXE to run from your computer. Just get to the bootloader screen on your phone, connect it with the USB cable and then run the EXE for the radio. Hopefully it will have the installation screen to come up and it should find your phone eventually. Some of the ROMs were just the NBH file and if you rename it as TITAIMG.NBH and stick it on a correctly formated SD card in the phone the bootloader would install it from there. Kind of handy if you are out "in the field" and needed to strip and reload.

You should be able to run that one from your computer. Just hold down the power and camera buttons at the same time and poke the soft reset button. You will get the bootloader screen. Then connect via USB and then run that exe.
You will still need to run the Carrier cab from the phone and install to memory not the card after you get DCD's ROM installed.

Hi
Do the following or you might brick your device by using Microsd flashing.
1. Get in to the booloader
2. Run HSPL2 and select the HSPL version you like
3. when got the Hacked it message
4. Then get into bootloader again
5. Flash any custom rom
6. Again get into bootloader
7. flash one of a radio version 2.(08 or 09 or 10 or 11 or 12).50
it will do the trick. Looks like you have the wrong radio version
Good luck
