X7500 Out of order, ANy help

Hello,

I have Athena bought in belgium three months ago with french version.

All is ok until yersterday.

I have tried to upgrade with an english rom wm 6 ??? (its a great mistake because it was locked !!!).

Now, I ve only a three clored screen and some specification and no nothing else ... I m very sad ...

How can re-install or unlok this french version before installing a new wm6 english rom (no upgraded french rom for the moment) ...

No thing happens after a hard rest nor a soft reset, I can'nt try nothing else ...

Thank you for your HELP. Merci

Get one of the ROMs in this link and extract it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=314672

Get your device into bootloader (the three-colour screen; BTW it is Camera+Reset, NOT Volume+Reset)

Connect it to PC (the SERIAL on the screen will change to USB)

Hit the ROM Upgrade Utility and upgrade your device.

When you finish, configure your device.

Then continue with the Unlocker, to the end.

(Always check first what you might need to do in case it goes wrong).

Good Luck!

bootloader mode

Hi ,

My Ameo' screen (WM 5,German version) become black after step 2. I did tried to go to bootloader mode but the screen remain black and the action key is lighted green.The Phone is not detected by my computer too.Hard reset and soft reset don't help.

What should i do?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Sounds like stage 1 went through with no probs.:) Put it back into bootloader and check that it shows SPL 1.20 Olipro (or very similar with Olipros name attached to the SPL). If you see this, all is well and all you have to do is connect your USB cable to your Ameo and PC (don't worry if it doesn't look like you've connected - you probably have) then Run the WM6 flash ROM utility that you should have already downloaded.

After you have set up WM6, you still have to complete steps 2 and 3. If the unlocker program doesn't still appear on your desktop and allows you to continue from where you left off, simply start the Unlocker program from scratch stage 1, then stage 2 and so on, but never disconnect your device until your told to do so.

Good luck.

the phone is working i get signal and i can make voice calls and send text messages but the gps doesnt work.

hopefully someone with more knowleage can help me. thanks in advance

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] :
Oli. Just one word.......Thanks!

Had a bit of a hairy moment with a black screen, but simply re-flashed with a WM6 ROM from one of the links and left the unlocker where it was. Soon as it flashed properly with the ROM, carried on with the unlocker and it worked fine.

I'm not the most experienced with flashing ROM's and using these things, but reading this thread all the way through meant i had the info i needed to make it work.

Amazing what learning to read can do for you isn't it??

Olipro,

1st: THANKS! very usefull.

2nd: I have a BIG PROBLEM. I did this proccess to 5 HTC X7500. The last one had a problem. I finished step 2 and the program crashed. the X7500 is with black screen. It can't start. The screen is black. I can't get into bootloader mode. The only thing i can do is hard reset, but when it says: "press power to restart the device", nothing happens. The black screen again...

So, I have a bricked unit. Can't get it to start.

What can i do?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] agustinpac:
Well, I found the solution. I couldn't get the bootloader mode because the camera button needs to be pressed very hard on this unit.

Now that i got the bootloader mode, i'm installing a new rom.

Thanks and I hope this helps other people.

t mobile ameo

hi everybody¡¡¡

i am ulsar, from spain. i have several doubts:

1.- is the t mobile ameo exactly the same as htc x7500, isn´t it?? the same hardware and the same software??

2.- i am thinking of buying a german t-mobile ameo (ebay). my doubt is if i will be able to unlock it with the software you have posted here... because it cames with net-lock locked.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH¡¡¡
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
It's safe and good to use

Hi julsar.

You Must read the instructions slowly and carefully if English is not your mother tongue.

Yes it will work with Ameo/Dopod U1000 etc. They are all the same except for the Americanized X7501, because it has no camera on the front.

Follow the instructions carefully and read through this whole thread before you do it, that way you're prepared for everything.

Good luck. We've all done it and love it.

It removes SIM lock and opens up permission to put any HTC Athena ROM on your device.:)

Hello Olipro, Thanks a lot for the Unlocker, after a few mishaps I managed to get it flashed to my T Mobile Austria AMEO. However when I start the Ameo with any other SIM card than T Mobile, it informs me that

" You have tried 6 Times, please wait until timeout... "

and opens a little box where I could enter a code.

Now I have read through countless threads, seen the 24 minute film, and I haven't found any answer... have you any suggestions, or I have I cocked up somewhere?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Johnboy:
Hi, I had exactly the same problem with Win XP and I got round it like following:

Run Olipro's unlocker until you reach the point where it blocks ie when it wants to download the Radio patch ( middle of step 2)

Now your PC won't sync any more, so pull out the plugs, reboot the PC, restart the AMEO, restart the unblocker, WITHOUUT connecting the USB.

When PC gives an error message no connection, retry again, click on "no" and WAIT maybe 10 minutes until it jumps to the next step, you can maybe help it by plugging the USB and immediately unplugging it, if the AMEO asks you if you want to run this or that program, say NO.

When you get to step 2 on the PC, start it, AMEO must be unplugged, on PC error message click no, plug and unplug the USB, and Wait Wait go through the PC screen instructions and at the end the point will come when the PC wants to load the unplug patch.

Now you start the Active Sync, plug in the USB to the AMEO sychronise, and continue with the onscreen instructions normaly.

It worked for me so all the best...

Hello Olipro,

I have downloaded the unlocker, watched through the tutorial video.

So far, following the video's instruction, I had done a hard reset of the device, ensure the battery is sufficient, connect up in Asyn.

When I click on the unlocker program, I get a fatal error on the PC that says

"CLR error 80004005 The program will now terminate".

I ran it on an XP (Home edition) machine. My machine has got all the latest service pack as well as netFramework 2.0 installed.

I tried it on two XP machine and have exactly the same error message.

Why could possibly cause the error message when running the unlocker ?

Thanks and appreciate your valuable contribution and time.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Are you running in a non-English environment or have non-English language packs installed. This is know to cause such issues with CLR. Also, right click on the EXE and make sure that compatibility mode is not active some how, this also causes the issue. That failing, reinstall framework 2.0 and see if that helps.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] newuser888:
I solved the problem.

When I read that we must have net Framework installed, it downloaded it from microsoft window update website to make sure I install it, not realising that it was already in my computer. The reinstallation screwed up, because active sync was not closed. For net Framework to be successfully installed, you can't hve active sync running. So, netFramework was corrupted although the system said it was succesfully rolled back to the original state.

So, I went to control panel, add/remove program, and did a repair of netFramework. It highlighted that this can only be done if I close my activesync. I followed the instruction and got netFramework repair.

After that, Olipro's program started successfully.

Thanks anyway for bearing with me. I just thought that my experience might still help someone running into similar situation, so would post it here.:)

Going to unlock now.

I'm having this problem right now. PC seems to have stopped after displaying the following message :

***backing up current SPL.. Do not disconnect or touch the device***

Copying TFFST of file.....

Nothing happening on device's side either.

Do you then go and "manually executing the certs and enablerapi cabs,"? How do you do that? Where do you find these files? On the device?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] newuser888:
Okay,

Starting all over again. The CAB installed successfully, and I confirm that is no more activity after waiting 30 seconds. After it asked me to specify a location for saving the backup file, it says there is an

"Unhandled exception has occcured in your application. If you click contineu the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately." The message also says it can't find a part of \tempAth or somthing to that effect.

I don't know why I get this. Any clue? I click continue anyway.

Back to this message

***backing up current SPL.. Do not disconnect or touch the device***

Copying e:\tempAth\itsutil.........

Copying TFFST of file.....

This seems eternity... Nothing is happening on either the PC or device side.

No clue on the screen to say how long I should wait..

Okay, I give up. It's too scary. I better wait for advice from others before proceeding.

Edit: Tried installing in device as well as microdrive. Both give the same unhandled exception message on the PC screen.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Infraded:
Uh oh

Ok, maybe there is some recovery step I missed, but I think I really killed mine. I was running the unlocker in preparation for loading one of the newly released cooked ROMs and in step 1 it gave several errors after it backed up the SPL when it tried to send the new one. After checking on the forums I found that the unlocker wasn't working with Vista so I stopped for the night and was going to retry on my XP partition the next day. Yesterday, before starting into XP I was having some reception issues and I soft reset and as soon as I did that, everything went black. I have read the many threads on recovery so first I tried another soft reset and when that still didn't bring up anything I did a hard reset. Also nothing. No lights are coming on and the device had a full charge so I don't think it has anything to do with power.

I'm stumped. Any ideas?
