Reflash with AP4

Hi,

I succesfully flashed AP4, and tried the WM6.5 rom form Michiprima, but would like to go back to AP4. Should I just reflash with AP4 since my spl is already 3.5?

Please advice
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tazeemn:
roelof999, I've done the same before and it works fine. Just re-flash with AP4. I went back to Michy6.1 though.

guys I got an athena and I am newbie, so what I did with it

first I installed hardspl

then I flashed the AP4 without upgrading the radio

So now I have radio 1.47, and AP4 for spl 3.5 on my athena does having the radio 1.47 cause any performance issues, since I noticed it is a little not that fast and responsive, compared to WM6.5 with the same radio 1.47.

What shall I do to get the best in performance out of my athena, please help a person in need

Hi,

Its best to upgrade the radio to 1.57 or 1.58 anyway, but as far as i remember it has to be over 1.50 on WM 6.1 roms to get the best out of them I think

Hi, is this ROM good for an ATHENA x7500 with SPL 1.10? Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lakeman:
You must unlock the ROM first

have a look at the beginners guide.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Crystian95:
i have read the beginners guide yet! and i have read that i have to upgrade the spl! can someone give me some informations? thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lakeman:
You have to unlock the rom first

As the beginners guide states

"You have to unlock the rom first"

You said your SPL was 1.1 therefore apply the unlocker first . then you will be able to apply any SPL 1.2 ROM

If you want to use an SPL 3.5 ROM , you have to then apply the AP4 upgrade , but only after unlocking the ROM.

hope this is clear and it is in fact straight forward , but I would recommend finding an XP machine to do these upgrades as occasionally people were having problems with vista and windows seven doesnt seem to recognise this device , although I wonder if the users had Windows Mobile Device centre installed.

Anyway it is straightforward if you have done any unlocking previously.

upgrade guide

Hi guys,

I'm a bit late to the party, but recently bought an Ameo, to work with on the go.

Of course only after purchasing, I found out the keyboard is without any feedback and the 7510 has better keyboard and bigger MD... Oh well. Love the design and it works well enough...

After some hickups I managed to upgrade SPL to 1.2 and WM to 6.

Now I want to upgrade to 6.5. Based on all the discussions here, I opted for the AGB v3.00 release. Thanks to Hakim I now have the SPL 3.5 download as well, and the Athena Updater. Only thing missing is the manual. As stated before, the links are no longer working. Can anyone be so kind to post a link to a working pdf?

Thanks in advance.

Oh, and if you might have any tips or tricks I might need to be aware of (don't shoot me, I've got square eyes from searching ;) ) Please feel free!

Thanks!

How did you find the above download, did it work for you as it's not working for me but that might be because I haven't found the instructions?

All the links for the instructions PDF in this section of the forum don't seem to work for me, how about anybody else?

I've successfully upgraded the SPL from 1.0 to 1.2 but I need 3.5 for Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMs, but when I use the downloaded "Athena_AP_40_SPL_35_Updater", and run it in Windows 7 or XP all it does is extract one executable, "Athena updater.EXE", and then after that when I run the .EXE it creates ITSUTI LS.DLL and pMEMDUMP.exe, I then re-run "Athena updater.EXE and nothing happens so I wait 20 min or so with no joy.

so I guess the updater is broken or I'm doing something wrong not having the instructions?

Any help much appreciated:-)

whole new world of hurt, help!

I got impatient and started reading other threads regarding alternatives to AP4 so as to at least try to install a 3.5 ROM. Using the link recommended above I found "AP3newSPL", which downloaded and started the upgrade utility, completed, rebooted to the AP Dual by PK setup screen which is the replacement Windows Mobile-based devices standard tap the screen to setup your PDA.

It then goes into the customisation auto countdown in three seconds, it then starts the customisation upgrade but resets the device into a loop repeating the above!

I'm going to try and go back to SPL 1.2, unless anybody tells me that's a bad idea, until I can get a working "Athena_AP_40_SPL_35_Updater", any suggestions where I can download it would be much appreciated.

Cheers in advance

SOLVED!. Don't how I did it but I've sorted by reapplying SPL 1.2 whilst I tapped on the first screen calibration screen ONLY, this allowed ActiveSync to at least see the phone I then, after many attempts was able to apply Athena AP 4.0 SPL 3.5 Updater.

just need to check what radio I'm on, but not sure how to do that?

If you go HEREit tells you how to set up your GPS for fastest speed. some go faster than others. ALWAYS try to get a GPS fix outside. there is no point trying near a window on its first fix. If you follow the instuctions on the link then you need to set your programs "tomtom" and "google maps" and the like to com port 8 and baud rate to 38400.

Enter bootlaoder (hold camera button and reset) and report back as to what the SPL says it is at and make sure your ModelID still says ATHE100. If all looks well, then plug in USB and see if the screen changes from 'Serial' to 'USB' and report back.

We can try to help you from there. When you say you used HardSPL, do you mean by flashing the latest AP4 ROM? or do you mean the original unlocker? Your English will be fine, we just need some more information. (DO NOT try to flash the new AP4 from bootloader. This is in the instructions)

Second general rule: first step begins trying flashing another rom from bootloader, better if you have an ORIGINAL one, otherwise I will suggest to try the AP3 (Sticky in athena mobile 6 thread), the OLD one, the new one is for SPL 3.xxx

You can't, it has been explained many times.

Due to the new "partioned" space, needed to allow the X7510's ROM flash, there is no way to flash it back. May be OLINEX (olipro and cmonex) will release a "downgrade" utility or not.

Today's state-of-the-art is simple: you can't flash any original ROM, only the AP3 "adapted" for the new SPL

However I would like to upgrade now to this AP4.0 ROM so I probably will take the plunge.
