HELP - Recover from Black Screen of Death

Have read through all the posts and instructions before using Unlocker on my X7501 that I just bought. However, having problems and hope someone can please advise...

Been trying to use Unlocker app on my laptop running Vista...weird thing is that Unlocker app says that step 1 completed successfully, yet when i check bootloader screen after process completes, it said SPL-v1.10.0000. So, kept retrying, but same thing...

Finally, after several attempts, hard resets, and even recovering from black screen of death using ATHE_WM6_X7500_flasher and then retrying Unlocker again, I now show on bootloader screen SPL-v1.10.RP00.

But then got black screen again.... :mad:

Now, when I try using ATHE_WM6_X7500_flasher again to get a ROM back on my X7501, it goes through install process with seeing progress bar, but this time I get an Error [294] INVALID VENDOR ID message says I can't use this update utility with this device....

My X7501 is black screen and I can't turn it on except that I can get into bootloader screen or hard reset screen and do hard reset, but then it's black screen again and now there's a green glow lit up around the joystick.

Any suggestions please??????

What does the rest of the bootloader say

	ERROR [242] : INVALID LANGUAGE

	ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID

	ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID

	ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY

One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ArchiMark:
Thanks for your help, lakeman...

As I noted, it gave me the ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID message....

To be clear, I was only trying to use the ATHE_WM6_X7500_flasher as a means of recovering and being able to re-install on a ROM on my borked X7501 AFTER having the problem from using Athena Unlocker app.

The weird thing is that ATHE_WM6_X7500_flasher worked the first time this happened (even though I have a X7501) and then I tried using Unlocker again and got the black screen one more time...so, thought I could recover again the same way....

Just tried ATHE_WM6_X7500_flasher again and now I get a Error [260] Connection message....cannot connect to your PDA phone....also, when I plugged in the USB cable into laptop it said it found a new unknown device and did install something for it...

Is there a way to tweak ATHE_WM6_X7500_flasher to recognize my X7501?

Or is there another version I should grab to use instead?

Or ????

Thanks!

Got ROM!

OK, finally, got a ROM back....whew!.... :rolleyes:

Here's what I did...maybe it will save someone else the hours of aggravation that I just went through on this....

1) I decided to eliminate the variable of running Vista in this process...so, created a new partition on my laptop and installed XP to use....

2) I downloaded and ran the HTC official X7501 ROM file and voila! it worked!

:D

So, next step will be try Unlocker again running it in XP and see what happens this time.....

Got X7501 Unlocked!

OK, tried Unlocker again...this time running XP and Voila! it worked!

Removing simlock from Athena using Olipro's unlocker

I was fighting today with friend's Athena - polish operator ERA Ameo, trying to get the simlock removed. I did it about 18 months ago with mine without issues so I didn't expect any troubles. Unfortunately setting it to SuperCID went flawlessly but I had troubles with simlock. I did it and would like to share mine experience because I saw many questions about it.

After completing first step (flashing SPL) and flashing patched radio followed by hard reset, when Athena Unlocker application launched on the device I choosed just to remove simlock then closed the unlocker and run it again (you can find it in the root directory of the filesystem). This time I selected only setting SuperCID then closed application and followed the instruction on PC. Do not forget to complete third step. I hope it will help other users, perhaps someone could explain it better and put this information either to first post of this thread or even make another sticky about simlock. It is not worth to pay to get something what could be done free of charge!

I TRIED TO GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MANUALLY, IT SHOWED THE FOLLOWING INFO:

IPL - V1.00

SPL- V1.20. Olipro

AND THEN IF I CONNECTS IT TO MY LAPTOP TO INSTALL THE ROM, IT SIMPLY SHOWS ERROR 244- INVALID MODEL ID.

Although a bit late Michy's WM 6.5 roms need SPL 3.5 not 1.20.

You must first use AP4 to upgrade SPL to 3.5 and then you can flash any SPL 3.5 rom as usual.

Error 202 after black screen and new ROM

Dear All,

I am trying to unlock my T-Mobile Ameo I bought second-hand.

I ran the unlocker and got a black screen after step 2.

I then flashed the Athena_WM6_TMUK_2.35.110.4 ROM via the bootloader. It started up and connected to Activesync fine. I ran enablerapi.cab and tried to unlock again. I got an error 202.

Then I flashed the Athena_TMOB_005 ROM, ran enablerapi.cab and tried to unlock. I still get the error 202.

Any suggestions?

the best bet is to put it into the bootloader mode and check your spl,etc. If it says Olipro or Olinex it is already unlocked.....also make sure of your spl before flashing. You don't want to flash the wrong one.....

T-mobile MDA Ameo 16GB (Ame400)

Hi everybody and excuse me for my inexperienced post. I past the last 2 days to read everything on this cell unlocking procedure and before find this forum the only thing I did was to asses 1 failed try with a code bought on internet. This unit is coming from UK, and it apparently worked well with other carriers sim cards than T-mobile from there, but once here in Canada, the phone asked for a code. The one 1 bought, once entered, disappeared and a message told me there are still 4 codes tries to enter. I read here something about the unlocker for Ameo etc. but I am afraid I can't afford some other fails in order to not brick it. I would gladly donate here seeing the exerience you get withn these devices. It's a 6.1, with customised T-mobile stuff. I would prefer to get the REAL code, or get a step by step guide in order to patch it on internet (medium experience). Thank you a lot for your time rc

I use win XP+SP2, Activesync 4.5. Activesync connection has been working a few months ago but now it isn't. I connect the HTC, the system recognizes it, the green arrows go around for a while, then the message: "Activesync cannot connect the windows mobile powered device. To troubleshoot problem, click ok." And the same time HTC says: "This device is not allowed to connect to the desktop computer."

In the device manager i can see 'Windows CE devices/HTC USB sync'

-Tried fiddling with 'enable advanced network functionality' - no good whether it's on or off

-Reinstalled Activesync 4.5, also tried 4.2

-Turned off firewall, virus software

no use.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Galvayra:
Hi guys I know that I might annoy sme of You but would anyone be so kind and reupload the unlocker so I could update to SPL 3.5 please??! If anyone would be so kind I´d really appreciate it...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
Ok, here's what I'm currently thinking;

I patched the updater so that it doesn't reset the device after you flash a radio since of course, you shouldn't need to reset after flashing a radio anyway... I really can't get an idea of when or how it dies so I'll see if I can get in touch with apd about that.

also guys... after flashing the patched radio, it's supposed to run a program on your device from windows mobile to do the unlock so just flashing the patched radio and then flashing the normal one back will do nothing.

UPDATE: After some sterling help from apd, I've isolated the problem to the fact that I patched the flasher not to hard-reset the device; something I was rather hoping wouldn't be necessary, but sadly it seems to avoid upsetting the ROM hugely, it has to be done, therefore I'll be releasing a new version shortly.

Also; there is another part to step 2: a file has to be run on your device as well, but instructions for this will be included now.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:

unfortunately, it didnt work.1st and 2nd step on my pc worked.looking down at my ameo, there was nothing but coloured stripes blurs on my screen.

it said "press ACTION to restore factory default_press camera key to exit"

after pressing the "action"-button(is it the one of the five-way-pad?), it read "rstore default complete_press power key to boot_press commManager key to format micro drive" but if i press the power button (the one to turn on and off the display in normal mode, right?) only the 5 way pad led flashes and the screen is off again.

what shall i do??

i'm realy scared.

i gotta go now, ill be back tomorrow.can i leave the device with the charger plugged in?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
You've put the device into hard-reset mode; you must have been holding down on the volume slider since there's no way for the program to make it enter hard-reset mode, I'd check you didn't break the slider.

enter bootloader mode and flash a normal ROM (WM6 will work), let me know if you completed step 3 fully because if not, you'll need to flash back a proper radio. did you get to run the program on the device on windows mobile to unlock?

and who the hell is foa?
