Error on an Ameo

On my device (t-mobile ameo), unlocker produces the following output:

==Athena Debug Output==

Destination Where files should be copied to.

For the source, wild cards or directory names may be specifed, as may be single

files. The destination can be either a directory or a file name, depending

on the type of source specified.

By default, an argument is assumed to live on a local filesystem. To indicate

that either argument denotes a location on a device connected via ActiveSync,

prepend 'dev:' to that argument. To articulate that a local filesystem is

referenced, prepend 'desk:' to the argument.

==Installing CAB Files==

you may need to confirm installation on your device screen

CopyTFFSToFile(0x0, 0x100000, SPL-backup.nb)

ERROR: ITReadDisk: outbuf==NULL

- The parameter is incorrect.

cert_spcs.cab, and enablerapi.cab are installed correctly.

( I answered yes, on device ) I also tried to install these cabs manually(from tempath dir), but I received the same error message as above.

I checked itsutils.dll and It's in device's windows directory.

The unlocker always produces the attached 512 KB SPL-backup.nb in

TempAth directory.

After pressing OK on save file dialog I'm getting exception.

Do you have an idea what's causing this problem ?

Same problem

@Olipro :

I have exactly the same problem as Infraded.

No lights are coming when charge, hard reset, soft reset,

bootloader mode doesn't work.

I realised the symptoms after my last trying.

( check my previous post with error log )

I pressed soft reset after using unlocker, and Ameo failed to

load OS. ( no charging light, no hard reset, no soft reset, bootloader)

I think despite of pdocwrite said "invalid parameter", destroyed my bootloader with writing some garbage on it :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] szilamer:
Take it to a service center.

I think If your device doesn't show charging light, and you can't put in

bootloader mode, you won't be able to repair yourself.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] photon2:
Do Not Use On Htc 7501 Advantage

I also have just seen this problem. My brand new 7501 Advantage is now a nice black brick...any help would be appreciated.

THIS JUST IN: I have since been able to get the red LED to light around the joystick by removing the battery and plugging in the USB cable while the battery was removed. I replaced the battery with the USB cable still attached and the red light went off again - still nothing working, however I noticed that now the red LED around the joystick will blink if I hit the reset button alone. - Still not charge light, no soft reset, no hard reset, nothing but the little red light blink...

Grrr
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
Hi Photon2

Have you seen this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=324186 ?

It sugests there is a battery prob and you should use mains charger rather than USB (more power). Not sure if it will help restore your device but I hope so.

Good luck!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] newuser888:
I'll stick with the stock ROM. Thanks Oli for the opporutnity to at least find out for myself what this is all about. I'm sure if it worksand cater to all kinds of real life situations and exceptions, it is a great product.:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ranj9119:
is this still 1.20 version? where can i dl 130?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
It sounds to me like HTC may have changed the hardware in the Athena to prevent the unlocker from functioning properly, I need someone who's device isn't getting past Step 1 to allow me to use their computer to (harmlessly) examine the device via activesync.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
1.20 refers to the SPL version.

I'm the only person who has 1.30 and the only person who ever will.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Goatmaster:
Oli you may want to put a warning on the main page for 7501 users I just tried the unlocker and the unlocker crashed during step 1 and now it appears my 7501 is dead. It won't turn on, won't hard reset, won't go into bootloader. All I can get is the status light to go red with no battery and then flicker red once with the battery when it is plugged in.

Edit: I forgot I did make a backup when it prompted me is this file any use to me fixing my phone or you finding whats different with the 7501s?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Infraded:
Hey Olipro, I have my original SPL backup that it made, and the second backup of the SPL from the second attempt I made at flashing my x7501. Comparing both in a hex editor, it appears yours did make it on the device even with the many errors I got. Would those files be useful to you?

Luckily, I purchased a warranty from CompUSA when I got the device and I went back yesterday and swapped it out for a new one. The guy also told me that because of some laws in my state that swapping out the device on a replacement warranty doesn't 'use' the warranty up. So I have a full 2 or 3 years if anything happens again. Best $150 I ever spent on an extended warranty.

On that note, I would be willing to let you check out the device on my pc provided we can schedule it properly and there will be no flashing without being 100% sure it works or can be reversed.

Also, the warning may be a good idea to prevent further loss.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
Your dump is interesting; whilst the SPL file is essentially the same as on the X6500, it is being dumped as a 512kb file when it should be a 1024kb file, which indicates to me that the sector size for *some* of the X6501 devices is different, which means if you would be willing, I would like to access your device over the internet to discover the correct size.

getting the correct size is trial and error, however, it is only a read operation and cannot harm your device in any way
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Infraded:
OK, I'm assuming you would want to do this in XP? Not sure how important, but I did the flash attempts in Vista x64. I'll be available pretty much any time on Sunday if you let me know in advance. I'm GMT -7 no DST.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Madhadder:
@Oli

Shouldn't that be x7500/x7501 in your above post?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] roelof999:
I was not able to complete step 1, see earlier post in this thread. I have a Athena (X7500) with WM6 NL and the backup of my SPL is also (only) 512kB. I have attached it to this post.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
Look, I'm really not interested in the backups, I need a volunteer to actually be able to do something sodding useful
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] roelof999:

could you pls tell me what i could have done wrong ..there is that much to do in the 3 steps..There are so many threads Cant afford to brick the new one

Many Thanks for your time

error message

ERROR: ITReadDisk: outbuf==NULL

- The parameter is incorrect.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cmonex:
if there is no green action led even, then it's because the unlocker and some newer athenas/ameos have an incompatibility.

to EVERYONE, please wait a few days until olipro finds the cause of this.

also, to EVERYONE, if you get an error in step 1 at first try, even if it is just an unhandled exception screen... do not retry step 1! and, don't reset the athena/ameo, but come here for help.

again, be sure not to reset (soft or hard), because then you still have a chance!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Abram:
There's a WM6 rom upgrade you could have used without unlocking, especially after the first unsuccessful unlock (ie if you only wanted WM6). If you plan to use cooked roms, then you must unlock. Bricking two machines in a row must be heartbreaking.

Don't worry i've sussed it. Soft reset after microsoft usb drivers installed and re ran unlocker from the start.

Olipro, You sir are a Legend.

I've had my ameo in front of me for an hour and its now hard spl and sim and cid unlocked. Piece of cake thanks to the on screen instructions.

Yeah. I'have the same serious problem with my new Ameo device. After 1st stage of unlocking I've go an error. Past soft reset I cannot switch device to bootloader screen (the joystick led blink once in red, after camera+comm+soft reset). Any solutions? Or device is completly unusable???

This day on another forum two person send posts with EXACTLY the same problem. Maybe it's time to make newsticker about very risky update on first page of this thread?

Isn't there a warning already at the first post in the thread? :-/
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] kroton:
At the last two days probability with incorrect flashing is growing. Smthng change with the device on the manufacturer stage? When on the first page will be warning: "only 50/50 % of the device could be flashed correctly" I'll be never do flashing with the unlock utility. By the way: stay cool.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
OK Everyone.

I have been able to examine the SPL of an X6501 thanks to toyfreak.

these devices are different from the original Athena as the sector size (and the SPL that actually goes on the device) is completely different.

I have however successfully patched the SPL and flashed it back to unlock the device.

Hence, those having problems should NOT attempt to perform any of the steps. please wait for me to release a new version that will autodetect the device version.

when it's released, I'll update the first post, and make a new post at the end of the thread

critical or stupid question?

Hi all. i have sucessfully unlocked my x7500 with olipro soft, already made a post in the past.

very happy so far, pk roms are installing without probs.

now with the phone fully unlocked (all 3 stages of the unlocker have completed successfully), can i install the official htc rom wm6 in case i need to send the device to htc for minor repairs? obviously i need to put back the spl backed up by oli's soft and how is this possible?

i would appreciate some help

pardon me if i have missed out a part in this thread saying how to put back original spl.

thanks olipro, great stuff
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] toyfreak:
Come 'n' Get It...

I have downloaded and installed the unlocker on my X7501; went off without a hitch. I know it's obvious, but fellow X7501 owners only need to do step 1. The SIM unlock is unnecessary (duh!)

SPL will be v1.25 Olipro when finished and then flash away to your heart's content...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
I should also take the time to point out that 1.25 is NOT an upgrade from 1.20 - they are separate SPLs for each device, although technically speaking, they are compatible on any device, your DoC will NOT flash correctly if you extract the SPL to another device and flash it. that said, to be honest, unless you own both devices, you're not really going to be able to manage that :P

No Device Connected and Other Error Messages

Just tried running Unlocker v.2.0 on my X7501...but having multiple problems so far...don't want to screw it up any further, so posting here for advice please...

I have synced X7501 before with PC using WMDC as I run Vista Home Premium...

Here's what I did:

Un-RAR'd ROM file to folder on PC

Un-ZIP'd Unlocker on PC

Opened up Athena Unlocker v2.0 on PC.

Put X7501 into bootloader mode (see 3 color screen with Serial at bottom...)

Connected X7501 to PC using USB Cable. 'Serial' changed to 'USB' on X7501...

Clicked 'Flash SPL' button for Step 1.

See in the Unlocker Debug Output section:

'Version 2.0== Deploying CAB Files==

Got message on PC about 'No Device Connected, would you like to try again?

Clicked 'Yes' but same thing happened, tried several times....

So, finally clicked 'Cancel' button...

Also, saw in Unlocker Debug Output section:

'you may need to confirm

'cerun: Failed to connect via RAPI'

'==Checking device type'

Then got message on PC asking if PDA has gone idle, and to wait 30 seconds to make sure and then click either 'Yes' or 'No'....

Quit out of Unlocker and reopened Unlocker, but got another error message:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.

Can't access C:\tempAth\pdocad.ce because it's being used by another process."

So, quit Unlocker...

Restarted PC and then Unlocker...

Reconnected X7501....

Clicked on 'Flash SPL' on Unlocker...

Still get error message:

"No Device Connected

Would you like to try again..."

So, not sure if I did something run when I started this process or ???

Anyway, what should I do now??

Thanks,

Mark
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] toyfreak:
You may be making it too difficult...

Just connect the PDA via ActiveSync (or WMDC) and run Olipro's unlocker and follow the steps (unless synchronizing thru Vista won't allow you to do this, in which case I am sorry to say I cannot help you...)

Unlocker Works With Vista!

Not correct, I did manage to get it working yesterday and I'm running Vista Home Premium on my lil' lappy....

;)

My problem as it relates to my earlier post yesterday had to do with the fact that I didn't understand that you ran Unlocker with ActiveSync running and connected (or in my case WindowsMobileDeviceCenter).

As I noted I had thought that you needed to be in bootloader mode and that's why I had a problem. Once toyfreak straightened me out, Unlocker ran fine on my setup and with my X701!

T-mobile Uk Can Go To ....

As some uk t-mobile user might know or not there is no plan to have a wm6 ROM upgrade for Ameo (t-mobile uk) i have confirmed, i am total gutted as i have a universal(MDA PRO) running WM6 and is brilliant, i have tried olipro's unlocker on the ameo and have had two bricked within 3 days, i have received a third . i believe newly shipped versions must have been changed because i can see some people with unlocked phones.
