Hi,
I know this has been answered probably but I got confused as most of the posts talk about 7500 or 7510 and SPL 1.2 or something higher.
I have a HTC x7501 with SPL v1.10.0000 and the IPL is v1.00. My radio version is 1.47.51.00 and ROM version is 2.19.453.4. The OS installed is Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
My question is can I upgrade to AP4 rom? Do I have to unlock my device first? It does accept different SIMs now. Is there a step by step instruction to do the AP4 rom upgrade specific to my model?
literally 6 threads blow this one is this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429013
please look around next time
its for all athena x750* devices
Hi Rorydaredkign, thanks for you prompt reply. I did look into the thread that you mentioned including other related posts. But I kind of got lost in all the version no. etc. Probably I am too new to try these things.
Also the link for the Olipro video does not work. Is there another link for this? Am I correct to assume that the unlocking/upgrading is similar for both x7500 and x7501? As the tutorial is for x7500.
I will appreciate any help in this regard.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Good advce from Rory there and also I have given this advice lots of times before and to you no different. please go HERE and read and learn, if you TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ you will learn. Please Please Please do not try to run before you can walk, or your Athena will be Bricked. I have been flashing ROM's for years now and still make the occasional mistake through rushing in to fast. AP 4.0 is a very good ROM but there are better ROM's now in my opinion. When you are READY try one of Michy's ROMs on spl 1.2.
Good luck and use the search button!!!
Regards
Jay

Hi to all
I bought few days ago a new HTC TyTn. That's my first pocket pc with phone.
When I start my HTC I see the following information:
R 1.03.03.10
Is this the ROM nr. ? Is it a new or old one ? I have a HERM200 with QWERTZ (german) could somebody tell me, which is the newest ROM version ?
many thanks
Sorry ROM nr. is 1.18.257.2
Is this the newest one ?
Hi
Can somebody help me ? I'm a newbie regarding HTC. What should I do to update my system ?
Many thanks
wiki
Check the wiki.....
I checked already wicki....but I don't know which version is the right one. I have a swiss HTC with qwertz.....
No Branding...original HTC....
I'd suggest you to study the Wiki and the forum by yourself. You can force people to briefly answer you, but then there is a big chance you'll create one more (because you didn't learn how to read lots of existing!) thread on how to return your bricked device to the life.
But I don't know which one i should take.....
I have checked my actual ROM with the one you have on your download page. The one I have is actual...(i think)...but it is in german.
I really do not have any idea which one i should download and install....could somebody help me ?
You know what, I do not update my TyTn.
I'm really p***** off.
Kind regards
First thing you have to do is READ:
Hermes Upgrading For Beginners: A Quick Introduction to upgrading your Hermes ROM
There are several ROM upgrades available for the Hermes, you can find them in the Shipped Complete Updates wiki page, be sure to read the notes on this page before you start the ROM upgrade.
Please do NOT ask which is the best ROM for you, the Hermes upgrading forum is flooded with this question and we can't really give you an answer: a ROM upgrade is only as good as the comments it has received from the users on the forums, see the top right column of the Shipped Complete Updates table for each ROM's forum link.

But as hellejoep and Lurker0 have told you, you need to read the wiki first, otherwise your next post will be another one of the "HELP ME... MY HERMES IS DEAD". You say this is your 1st PocketPC phone, then START HERE: Hermes For Beginners and after that be sure to read the rest of the hermes wiki.

If you already followed our directions, have read all around upgrading and flashing, and still asks, then just stop thinking about upgrading yourself. Go to your local service and ask them to do the upgrade for you to the latest official ROM that exists fro your devie... if any!
If you didn't - then go ahead reading and learning.
Hey guys. I just bought a Hermes, switching from a Wizard. I just wanted to make sure i've got the facts straight. So to upgrade the ROM on my Hermes (which is currently a stock At&t WM5 8525 ROM) i need to first CID/Sim-Unlock the phone, flash a hardspl to it, and then i can flash any wm6 rom i want that is posted in the WM6 forum for the Hermes? Thanks, and sorry again for the post. One of the guides said if i was unsure about anything, i should ask.
Read the last post, should also apply to your question. Also, great guides on the first page

hello all,
The last days I was reading a lot of posts, in order to get more information about this device and the options that i can have using a cooked rom.
But still have some questions, so please be pacient with me.
I have an 7500 with WM5 original rom portuguese language.
I understood that if I want to upgrade with AP5beta I need first to update the radio and then the SPL ( the SPL version will depend on the cooked rom ).
I will not need to unblock it, because it works with different sims.
Also for what I understood once I use the SPL3.5 I can not use anymore original roms ( or downgrade ). Is this correct?
If I upgrade my 7500 with the original WM6 roms, can I later use cooked rom's?
Does anyone, that have used only original rom's, noticed any difference between WM5 and WM6?
thanks in advance for your help,
and keep doing this good job.
Hi Poppey
Welcome to the forum.
I noted your other post and it seems you are keen to play with your phone.
Sometimes when you do this , things go wrong , occasionally to the exent that it can't be fixed !
Most of the time , the mistakes have been made before, so if you are inexperienced, seek a friend to guide you or look and search on this forum before you do anything rash.
I would sugest first reading the wiki and asking questions showing you have done this first
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Athena
After this I would suggest learning how to backup and restore data , before attempting to install the various program cabs.
When you are comfortable with this learn how to do a hard reset and reinstall your programs/data etc.
Next I would suggest that you find a copy of your original rom just in case you have to revert to it.
Next try an official Rom.
Along the way , I am sure you will make a mistake , but this is how most people learn how to fix their own problems.
By this time you will understand why you still have to use the athena unlocker
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831 to install any of the newer cooked roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518
This should give you hours of enjoyment/frustration and along the way you may even learn the pros and cons of the various roms which , in the end are very subjective and depend on personal preference.
Hope this helps

Hi lakeman,
Thanks for your prompt answer.
Thats exactly what I need, a point of start.
Lets go reading and reading again...

Hi sergiopi,
also thanks for your prompt answer.
Ok, I understand that once I upgrade with a cooked rom based on SPL3.5 I can't go back to original rom's, neither to rom's using SPL1.2
So it means that is a "one go direction".
But what about upgrade to original WM6 and then if I want go to cooked rom's. Is that posible?
Sorry but I don't have this clear after reading your links.
Probably the best to do is going directly to an original rom, but of course if doing that doesn't give me the option of using cooked rom's I must be sure on what direction I must go.
thanks,
No problem. Upgrade your ATHENA to official WM6 and AFTER you can choose to install the Athena WRAPPER and the cooked ROMs!
First post and I'm pretty new to flashing, so am a bit nervous about it. I've done extensive reading on this forum and have got to confess to some confusion - so please be patient with me!
First of all, I'd like to understand what USPL, SSPL and HARDSPL are? I think I read an explanation somewhere, but can't find it anymore.
I have managed to get HARDSPL 1.16 onto my phone and now that WM6.1 is out, I'd like to flash that version with the new HTC SSPL. Can someone please explain the steps I need to follow and how do I remove HARDSPL?
Thanks in advance for the patience!
Hi
I was familiar with up ROM for SPL 1.2
But in order to up ROM to SPL 3.5 version, I spent 6 hours to read all, all, all... and I still confuse.
No one says about the way to upgrade SPL from 1.2 to 3.x
As I knew, AP 4.0 can upgrade from directly from (???) - because in the instruction of AP 4.0 installing, they did not talk about the version of SPL, they only say that it must be 3.x, and 3.5 was attached in AP 4.0
But also they said that if up ROm 3.5 for SPL 1.2 it will make the phone be a brick one.
So confuse here.
Pls forgive me, because I am a newbie, so much information here (even I tried to search many times, but no result for me to know about that way)
So, pls help me to answer this question.
Thank you very much

from the beginners guide sticky at the top of this forum
SPL3.5 Upgrade
OK if you got this far You should be able to do this.
**First step is to install AP4**
At the moment there is only 1 foolproof way to do this and this is to use the Athena Updater
But first read the upgrade Guide Please Here http://www.htc-hackers.com/uploads/AP4_How_To_1.8.pdf
It is very detailed and I recommend following it exactly !!
This is the link to the athena Updater
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387409
This simply answers your question!
Please read the Upgrade Guide
thank you Lakeman
It is clear now for me.
As I know now, installing AP 4 is one process which also includes the "up SPL 3.5". That's why I could not find out any thread about alone SPL 3.5
Also, it means that AP 4 will support SPL 3.5 for any other upROM 3.5.
I know that the file PDF is VERY CLEAR about the process to Up Ap4
(however, it is not clear to talk about SPL 3.5 for newbie, who still doesn't know where SPL 3.5 is).
So I guess that, the Instruction file for AP4 SHOULD attach more one sentence " The SPL 3.5 is not alone until now to install, it is attached to AP 4 ROM, and it will be THE FIRST VERY IMPORTANT step to CONVERT Athena into SPL 3.5".
I am sure that, after that, the most stupid one can be known.
Thank you again.
All ROMs thread updated!
hello
does any of you know if there is a way to update the rom to AP4 via minisd card? I have learned to do it this way with most of the new roms apart from this one and unfortunately my usb is down so I can't use it.
