Hey Everyone...
I was just wondering if this is possible. If I have upgraded the ROM to the 6.1 version but do not like it because it made my phone slow, can I go BACK to plain old WM6?
If this is possible..Can someone tell me how to do it?
same...
i want go back to WM6...
cause in WM6.1, i've a problem with indonesian provider....
Of course, no problem at all. If needed, just ensure that you also flash to the appropriate bootloader/radio for the ROM that you choose.
The answers are available in the wiki.......

After having successfully upraded my Imate to the newer WM2003SE ROM (2.06WWE), I want to know if it is possible to revert back to the "official" ROM.
Can i just run the HimaUpdate... file for the older ROM and it will work or do I have to do something else?
Has anyone done it? With/Without success?
as far as I know, YES
if you'll run into any troubles, just let me know.
buzz
Absolutely YES!!!... mine was reverted from 2.20 to 2.02 to 2.20 to 2.06 to 1.77 to 2.02 to 1.77 to 2.20 to 2.06.. YES i am experimenting something from that all updates still i have no exoerience having problem... Just run Himaupgr...exe.. thats all
Mind you, since my device is an imate, i ran the "modified" version of the XDA II rom (modified for the carrier, country code and language). And I dont remember where I read it. but I think someone somewhere said that its not as simple as just running the HimaUpdate file.
But the HimaUpdate I will be running to revert back to the official Imate ROM (1.72) is made by Imate so I would think the country, carrier and language settings in that one are already correct.
So you sure I can just run it?
BTW, Reason I am reverting is because I think my signal reception is degraded (from before the upgrade even) and it seems to be a hardware issue. So to get it fixed by them (its under warrenty) I need to have the official rom or the warrenty is void.
Ok boys, I'm gonna do it. (after one more confirmation from you) just a little scared I am you see.....
Hey,
does anyone now where i can get the ameo t-mobile german rom wm5.
I want to go back from wm6 because i can not get bb work.
thanks
Search and you will find your answer...
I don'tuse BB,but if my memory has not failed me, it can work in wm6. Whether you want to make BB work, or go back to wm5(which doesn't make sense to me), the way todo it is already posted on this forum.
Good luck!
can someone point out where cos i have searched everywhere includin the wikki and cant find it
also is the original t-mobile wm5 rom available cos i cant see that anywhere
When you bought the phone, didn't you get a disc containing the wm5 ? I did, together with other stuffs like active sync program, gps program, ROM upgrade disc, etc. I imagine T mobile works the same way, no?
i have all the apps you describe but NO WM5 rom
So, you do have the wm5 ROM upgrade disc? Have you tried flashing with that? No harm trying since your phone has been unlocked.
I have the apps but the WM5 rom is NOT included, i have found it somewhere else and am gonna try later , i also need the tmobile extended rom info as well
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...

Pedro
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!

You mean to downgrade not to decrease So, if it is a "virgin" phone you first have to unlock it than look for a WM 5.0 OEM firmware, there are a lot of links in one topic, just search for it.
Is there any WM 5.0 for Nike?
downgrade
ok
it is not virgin
if I have WM 6.5 ROM which is running only with specific radio can I change it to see the diference
because my real problem is poor gsm signal
and one more
if want to install WM 6.5 ( beta of course
do I have to downgrade from WM 6.1 to 5.0
@vcdwelt yes, there is a WM5 version for Nike 100, mine comes with this (from Orange)
@ciawarhater if the radio reception quality is your problem, you don't have to install another OS, most of the cooked versions doesn't contain a RADIO firmware, so you have to look only for another RADIO and keep the existing OS. From what I read version 1.65.28.25 is the best original RADIO for Nike (good reception and the best power consumption). You can get this RADIO if you flash an OEM WM6 which comes with this RADIO built in. Look for this version RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.25_signed_Ship.exe. You can also try other RADIOs to see which one is the best for your needs.

@mishu
ok thanks
but if I have WM 6.1 and want to flash another WM 6.1ROM do I have to downgrade to 5.0 first??
or just install another ROM ??
maybe this is stupid question but I am newbie and don't want to crash my Niki
You said that your phone is already "prepared", I mean it is not virgin. Is it HardSPL? If it is you can write any other ROM, cooked or OEM. If it is not, search for the topic how to unlock your phone then you can start playing with ROMs. DO NOT ATTEND TO FLASH ANOTHER ROM WITHOUT UNLOCKING YOU PHONE! Good luck! Only the first time is difficult, second time is always better!
ok
yes
I allready did HardSPL and SIM&CID unlock
so now can I flash any ROM ??
I mean even WM5 if I have WM 6.1??
or WM 6.5
yes, you can, even Android if you like!

Hoi Hans, I'm gonna try to help you, but it's important for me to make sure which device you have, because there are a lot look a like's but it's just another phone, to make sure which device you own just take a look under your battery and tell me if you have a nike100 or another version.
The second thing I need to know, does your phone have a simlock.
Greetz,
It's a NIKI100 and is not simlocked

Hola hans, any news on your plans? I just "revived" my old nike today after beeing in a drawer for years, and I must say, it´s been a full success and it only took me less than an hour to do so. Now I even have WinMo 6.5.x and "sense-like" tabs
