T-Mobile Ameo Unlock Report

Hello to all,

Just for a record:

Got my German Ameo yesterday evening, played with it about a hour.

It was SIM unlocked before. According to instructions from this thread

and my previous unlock/flashing experience with MDA III, I decided

to unlock it/flash with Olipro's hard SPL Athena Unlocker.

Step 1 went fine, got a black screen after step 2.

I was prepared for it. Smoothly flashed stock ROM from bootloader mode,

than repeated all 3 steps again, from Athena Unlocker.

Flashed 1.50 Radio.

Updated old ROM with AP 3.0 Dual, without problems.

Tested GPS with iGO, works. Got satelite lock almost instantly, when

moved to better satelite reception. No signal inside house.

BT works with Jabra BT250 and with my Acer Aspire 9815.

Not played with WiFi and phone yet.

Already donated to Athena Project, but wish to thanks Olipro/cmonex, Pawel062 and rest of team for a very good job. Please, do not stop to improve our devices, thank you.

Regards,

MDA3_CRO

HardSPL Device is Dead!!!!!!!!

When running the HardSPL utility, after flashing the radio (step 2) my device is dead. Is there any way I can get it back? Yikes.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
Devices are very rarely dead - can you get into bootloader? If so what is the SPL version?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] niederb:
It's back!!! Went into bootloader and then ran the RomUpdateUtility.exe. It's still installing the customizations and my only issue is I'm not sure if my GPS will work since I ran step 2 of the unlocker but not step 3. We'll see. By the way I REALLY want to thank all of the people on this forum for creating such killer stuff. I'm not into having the same thing as everyone else and I love it when people see my phone and are like "WHAT IS THAT!!!!" I tell them you can't buy a phone like this you have to do it yourself and they are awestricken!!!!

By the way, I'm a systems anlyst with 15 years programming experience and would love to get into ROM cooking. If anybody can tell me where to start so I can learn how to do it, I would really be greatful. Who knows someday you might be running one of my ROMs.

Thanks again....my donation is on it's way!!!!

Same thing just happened to me, the screen just stayed black after step 2. (T-mobile Ameo)

I can get into bootloader mode and it says the SPL is v1.2 Olipro,
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] uczmeg:
Think I made it a bit worse.

In messing (tried hard reset), I connected via usb to my pc with bootloader, Unlocker seemed to have stage 3 highlighted after i canceled the dialog, so I tried it.

It went through the flash process and now when I try and turn it on I just get a quick red flash instead of a solid green ring.

Can still get into bootloader fine.

Any suggestions please?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] uczmeg:
Talking to myself it seems. But then I know I'm mad.... ;)

Found a stock T-mobile ROM and managed to flash that, so I have my device back working.

No idea where that leaves me in the unlocking process though....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] uczmeg:
With a nice cleanly installed ROM the unlocker went through perfectly the second time and I now have an unlocked device, with an upgraded radio and in a couple of minutes AP4 will have finished flashing... :)

Thanks for listening!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
uczmeg - Only just seen your posts - If you start at your first post and work your way through them you'll end up with AP4.0.

Oh! You've already done that... ;)

Glad you got it working. :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] uczmeg:
Thanks.

Got there in the end, I've had enough windows mobile devices in the past no to be too panicked when my brand new shiny toy looked dead on it's first day!

AP4 is very nice. Think I need to make a couple of donations...

Error 246 - Device Not Responding

I downloaded the unlocker and ran step 1 to get SPL loaded onto my device. I wasn't planning on running steps 2 and 3 since my device is already unlocked.

Things ran fine until it started running first program on the mobile device. (you'll have to forgive me for not knowing the name of it as I can't repeat the process from where I am). It indicated that the program wasn't from a trusted publisher, do I want to run. I chose yes. Things ran fine, then another one popped up. Finally I got the multi-colored loader screen where it said Olipro SPL something.

At this point, the app on the PC errored out. I could only exit it. I did a soft-reset on my device and then checked the loader. It still reads 1.10.

Upon soft-reset several applications (like Spb MobileShell) failed to launch, complaining about missing components or not being signed. I tried to launch other apps, once the device was booted, like NewsGator Mobile Reader, and get an error message indicated that the file cannot be opened because it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found.

I tried to run step 1 of the unlocker, as well as the standalone "AthenaWrapper" and get the Error 246 - Device Not Responding error from the installer.

I'm perplexed. I've searched throughout the forums, but haven't found anything related to the Athena and how to fix. I saw something related to a Kaiser, but decided to post first before doing something stupid.

Thoughts?

Problem Solved

I decided to do a Hard Reset. Once this was completed I confirmed that I could install an untrusted application. So, with that problem solved I decided I'd give the SPL update another go. This time I used the "AthenaWrapper" and it worked like a champ.

Failed to unlock X7500

Hi,

After a few month of following the Athena ROM upgrade forum, I have made a decision to jump to the pool but failed to unlock my device.

I used Olipro Athena Unlocker (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=315831).

The unlocking process went well until the process bar in the Flash SPL stage appeared , after about 30 second I got Error[202]- Connection message.

Device condition:

- SIM & Memory cards are out

- Full Hard reset - no custom setup

- Battery full

- Properly connected via ActiveSync (before and after the Error message)

PC condition:

- Windows XP Profesional SP2

- .NET 2.0 installed

- No open/background programs running

The X7500 is running properly, no damage :-).

I'll appreciate your advice resolving this problem.

thanks,

David.

david , try flashing your original rom back from here while in the bootloader screen

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_WM6Upgrades

and then i would suggest trying a different cable
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ddahan:
I'm still with the original ROM (WM6.0). As I understand, I have to unlock the device to enable new ROM flashing.

I already tried different cables, the same result.

thanks,

David.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lakeman:
I anticipated a corrupt flash from what you said so i gather you can boot into windows.

If so , there is no need to reflash the original rom.

Are you using the latest version of activsync?

is enable rapi installed?

I had a file from flashing AP4 that explained how to fix the specific errors but I can't find it today and it has been a long time since I unlocked my 2 athenas

If I find it I will pm you
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ddahan:
Thanks for replying.

Seems that enable rapi is the missing part, this is things that I afraid of. I can not find anywhere a step by step instructions and RPI enable is on of them.

I hope there is nothing elses missing that may cause damage.

I will install it and try again.

thanks,

David.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ddahan:
I installed EnableRapi.cab in the device and retried the unlock process.

Phone SIM Locked :(

I have recently got a Three UK data SIM so I thought I'd chuck it in the Athena but it comes up with 'Network is Locked'

As I'd only run Step 1 before I tried to run the unlocker again.

1) the video is no longer there but I went ahead anyway.

2) Step one failed - I assumed this was as I already had it unlocked.

3) Steps 2 and 3 worked fine and the phomne booted up again no problem.

4) I put my Three SIM in and get the 'Network is Locked' message again.

The SIM works fine in my E90.

What have I done wrong?

Help?

Reporting blackscreen issue.

I have X7501, using Version 3.0.

My device was already unlocked, so I just completed step one to get Hard-SPL.

After flashing, I get a blackscreen with green led around the d-pad. Soft reset, factory reset, taking out the battery for 30 min all have no effect.

I can get to bootloader and it says:

ATHE100

IPL-v2.02

ATHE100

SPL-v.1.20.Olipro

So it looks like HardSPL was installed. Yet, I get the blackscreen.

From reading this thread and others, Olipro seems to be saying that all I need to do is flash any ROM to get my functionality back. Is this correct?

Sorry to be such a *****, I just don't want to do something unrecoverable.

Thanks for the advice.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] NanoRuler:
Tried loads of times, each time I get error [260].

I have tried on XP desktop, Server 2003 desktop and XP laptop, using many different USB cables.

I've cleared storage memory on my Athena (T-Mobile UK Ameo 16GB), I've run EnableRapi and everything else I could find pointers to...

and still I get ERROR [260]

Any ideas?

Update:

I get to the boot loader and it shows SPL-Olipro's SSPL, but will not proceed past that point.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Don't do that man. The unlocker was not made nor tested on the newer 16GB devices. This could brick your device. Keep the stock unlocker on there and hold off. Currently there are no immediate plans for an unlocker but i'm sure someone will get around to it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Yes, just go into Bootloader and flash AP4.0.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] NanoRuler:
Thanks for the advice! In the meantime I'm stuck with T-Mobile's OS that doesn't even have VueFlo! :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cmonex:
er, bad advice.

AP4 will only go if he has it in windows mobile.

so anyway... just flash any rom that is compatible with SPL 1.2... that will work

afterwards can flash AP4 too :) but the OS must be bootable first to get that working,
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cmonex:
ltxda is correct, that might brick it, old SPL wasn't tested at all on new x7510 (or ameo 16GB).

but that SSPL won't let it flash anyway, because it cannot read out the modelid of the new ameo.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] pthechemist:
Hi guys,

First off, sorry if this has been covered already...

I've just bought a t-mobile ameo (UK) and need to unlock it. I've downloaded the unlocker and after looking at the program, assume I just go through the 3 steps. However (I'm a noob so be gentle) what is the .net Framework 2.0 installed with the services packs that you mention?

I just don't wanna brick my new toy!

Thanks in advance,

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lakeman:
Don't be scared

hi phil

Dot .net 2 refers to your desktop computer

I havent unlocked for a long time but used windows XP.

Apparently the newer version referred to is more foolproof and problems mainly occured with the X7501.

I reread the thread once for fun to see why Olipro was so impatient with people and I think his annoyance was understandable.

i suggest you do have a read of at least the first half of the pages to get a feel for what people were doing wrong.

I think this will give you a lot more confidence that any mistakes can be retrieved.

also take the time to read the wiki

Hi all, I'm fairly confident that I know what to do now so I'm gonna bite the bullit when my ameo arrives tomorrow.

Just 1 thing, olipro states that after step 2 you must IMMEDIATELY configure the ameo. Is this just the simple configure like when you turn it on for the 1st time or is it more complicated (internet setup etc...)?

Thanks for the info in advance and I'll let you know how it goes.

ps. I assume that the initial link was updated each time olipro revised the program.
