It is always difficult to write down exactly what you mean: I have radio 1.50 already. So that should not be a reason to unlock before flashing to AP4.0. Correct?

You still need to unlock to flash! Just unlock then flash AP4 - no probs.

help with running updater

i'm on step 12 where it says launch the exe and wait. i waited and waited and nothing happens. is there anything i've missed? what do I do? please help me. thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Is .net Framework 2.0 in your PC? This is for the unlocker to run successfully.

Do not forget to stop all background program activities in your PC when doing flashing.

If you are using Vista, please search around for steps some had shared here.

Looks like you need to start all over again.

You need to flash back previous ROM, and running.

Run unlocker from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=315831”.

Follow the step to unlock carefully.

After unlock completed, hard reset your device and go thru all normal processes.

Copy the “ enablerapi.cab “ into your device and run it.

When all ok, run the updater again.

I newbie too, if any senior found the above incorrect kindly correct for our bro to achieve successfully. Thank you.

I had almost the same situation and managed to flashed AP4 for my Athena. Good Luck.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] roach7:
pdajoy, thanks for the quick response. i do have .net 2.0. do i still need to run the unlocker if i successfully upgraded my radio to 1.57? i dont think i need to flash back as my orig factory rom is still working. do you mean i need to go to ap3 first? thx.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
To run, or not to run the unlocker?

If you cannot use different provider SIM card, your device is locked.

Radio is another department. Therefore you need to unlock first before proceed to flash.

“Those of you who are already unlocked should complete step 1 regardless... step 2 and 3 are optional

(but if you do 2, you MUST do 3)” by Olipro.

My Athena came unlock, I still run the unlocker.

Since the orig rom still running, there is no need for ap3.

The enablerapi.cab mustn’t miss out.

Best to review again the Install Guide before begin.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Kenjari:
Maybe this was addressed before, I'm curious though. What options are there for those who upgraded to the AP4.0? It seems as if there will not be a AP4.1, is there going to be a AP4.0 Vanilla?

What about an SPL that downgrades back to the previous partition? I just dont want to conclude AP4.0 has been abandoned. Despite some of the hick-ups, I actually like the new ROM. Both PK3 and AP4 have their strengths and weaknessess (IMHO), but I rather stay with AP4.

So just want a little clarity on the direction!

Thank you again, for all your effort and skills AP Team!!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
I upgraded to AP my testing device...

And the overall judgement is... a very good beta!

Some things have to be addressed, overall memory, speed and available OS resources, some small but annoying bugs (no images of the envelope in SMS/MMS folder, just a broken image), BT random disconnection without automatic reconnection with some BT devices (all fully working with AP3), and some other bugs, some solved, some NOT

Other things you can agree or disagree, no simple SPL flashback (revert to "standard" partition and flashing original ROM or other ROM. AP3 special edition is the only one) , opera beta with many problems (as default Internet Browser too), to may hard reset needed, SMS/MMS share the same folder.

Windows 6.1 rom are generally faster than 6.0 but this isn't the case

Latest Camera album is very nice, vueflo is a nice feature, windows 6.1 is better than 6.0, but it is definitely a MINOR update for WM6 PRO.

Overall, it is better than AP3? No I don't think so.

I am waiting to flashback the SPL to test the IRUS rom
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] :
Hi, does anybody know how to activate a visible sign for pressing a button in Opera.

If anybody knows the opera-browser on Wii then you'll know what i mean.

If you press a button there a blue ring appear, so the user knows it was pressed.

Will there be updates over App2Date for AP4 like the Keyboard- and Cache-Tweaks or other bugfixes?

Will there be a Lite AP-Version with Addons-Pack?

Switched back from irus WM6.1 to AP4.0

Since irus wm6.1 has developed new spl to enable AP4.0 to install irus wm6.1, I intalled the full version in order to test whether when activating flotouch, i can still use Chinese handwritng input method. But, the result is still the same as used in ap3.0, viz., i have to choose between the flotouch or Chinese handwriting. Therefore, i switched back to AP4.0. After all, one of the features in x7510 is designed to overcome the conflict between Chinese handwriting and touchflo. Now, I just wait for a spl to allow me to downgrade to factory rom only for the event that I have to call warranties with htc.

AthenaUpdater doesn't start up RUU

I seem to be having some trouble running AthenaUpdater to get AP4 Platinum installed on my device. I have Radio 1.57 and Olipro 1.20 SPL.

I did a hard reset, set up WMDC connectivity, verified that when I go into bootloader mode I do not need to insall any drivers, and reconnected in normal os mode with WMDC.

The first time I tried to run AthenaUpdater.exe my device asked if I wanted to install itsutils.dll. I said yes. I waited at least 10 minutes, bet never saw the RUU interface appear.

I tried running it again (after waiting the said 10 minutes per the install guide) and don't get the request to install itsutils.dll and still don't get the RUU interface to appear.

When I run AthenaUpdater I am doing it as "Run as administrator".

Any thoughts?

Hi

I beleive you are trying to update the AP4. I think you should wait for the AP5 because we are having several problems on AP4.

Once you upgraded to the AP4 you CAN'T downgrade to AP3 or the any other original rom.

my device was working great on AP3 and now with AP4 having several problems like drains battery faster, adobe pdf hangs, Opera hangs, some other softwares not working properly, Bluetooth not connecting properly, secure wifi lose connection, etc. Pawel62 says he is working on AP5 Beta.

Once a SPL Downgrade tool available then you can try this beautiful rom. I tried to downgrade to hacked AP3 and it also have many problems. Then i have to upgrade back to AP4 it works ok but still problems there.

I hope AP team will sort out these problems in the AP5. Thanks for the great work and keep it up.

My suggestion is please wait. It is upto you whether upgrade or not.

Good luck

With everyone reporting problem after problem, I should note that except for the volume problem (still way too loud system volume even on the 2nd lowest setting) my AP4 is working just fine. Nothing hangs, all radios work fine (I'm using 1.57). The only thing I did was turn off the viewflo since I never use portrait mode.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PBL1:
same here, so far Im pretty happy with it, installed without a hitch,BT much better than previous rom, GPS about the same, Vueflow is great, it did locked the screen in portrait position for some reason couple of times but not a big issue, the new opera great (far from the perfect browser but much better than previous) Wifi connect without a hitch, rom time response could be better but not a big issue for my, I like a rom fast enough for usability not for winning a F1 race.

I use WM5torage 0.72 rather than the USB to PC applet, it allow me to chose the storage media that I want to connect to the PC with no changes in registry needed

All in all I find AP4 a step in the right direction
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Mosser:
Same for me too, AP4 is running very nicely, and is faster and smoother than AP3, in particular, Opera browser in AP4 is better, and i have slightly better battery life when internet browsing and connected to 3G, I have no bluetooth issues connecting to or using my Jabra BT8010 and making calls from the headset phonebook works nicely as well.

It seems to me, that a minority of users are making loud noises about problems with AP4, which makes people think that it doesnt work properly, whereas those who it works nicely for, are keeping quiet (like me!) because it just does what it says on the tin !

Greetings and question

Hi, cmonex. I'd wanted to know why can not be published in the forum the manual way to downgrade the spl. I'm interested to go back to the old spl i had before upgraading to ap 4.0.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] the_erinyes:
ermmm... I think I may have a problem after trying to update...

,,, Hi

I am a bit scared now... just bought the phone y'day, and thought I would update to AP4. Followed the PDF, except for not installing MS .Net framework seperatly as I am running vista x64 (where it is included).

The phone came already with Radio 1.50 so I didn't bother updating that. The phone came unlocked.

When I did all the re-sets and installed the enablerapi.cab, I connected. And then it came up with the ****sticks message, and indeed the phone had switched to the Bootloader. This time I think the loader showed a higher SPL as before. As instructed, I re-set the phone *step 12*.

Now it will not turn on anymore.... please help. In fact, when I turn the phone on, the joystick will light up greeen. But thats it with respect to life signs... :(

update: tried to hard-reset (eg vol-down & reset) which seemed to work: Reset complete, pls press power button to restart. I did. Nothing anymore, not even the green light... This reset process is repeatable, yet with the same result. I am also able to get into the bootloader 3 colour screen. IPL-v2.02 and SPL-v1.10 with ATHE100. The phone switches from USB to Serial when removing the cable and back.

I tried to use the PK 3.0 as previously suggested, with no success. The problem is there already when I try ro run the Athena Unlocker ---> step 1: Flash SPL. Since I cannot connect with MDC (bc I can only enter the bootloader), it will not work. When just running the ROMUpdateUtility for 3.0 it will go to the statusbar 1% both on phone and PC and then abort with ERROR [270] UPDATE ERROR: The image file is corruped. Please check your Update Utility. Please help

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] NeilM:
++ to that from me :)

Installation went fine; Everything works fine & dandy (except Album which often won't start, but as I don't use that anyway its not an issue); WiFi is more stable, BT is much more versatile, battery life on 3G better and general responsiveness slightly better than my previous T-Mobile WM6 ROM.

Unlike AP3 on my device, I can now connect every time to WMDC on my 2 PC's and the USB to Storage function has bee faultless, once the reg hack was done.

TouchPal 3 (an excellent upgrade to V2) starts every time, and iGO8 has no problem at all.

All in all I'm delighted- not sure if there's any need for AP5 personally :)

Hi

If your bootloader says SPL v1.10 means your device not CID unlocked. Therefore you cannot load any other roms other than your device's original rom or AP4. (someone correct me if i am wrong)

You can download the original rom from HTC or use search function on this forum then load that into your device first. Then you can unlock CID then load any other athena rom.

You should understand that Super CID should be unlocked (where SPL shows like 1.20 Olipro or 3.50 Olinex) to upgrade any other roms to your device. you can upgrade AP4 (someone correct me if i am wrong) without unlocking CID.

Read a lot from this forum it will help you to upgrade you device rom.

upgrade after downgrade

I did downgrade :( from 4.0 to 3.5 , in order to use the navigation software IGO8 and now I can't upgrade anymore. The application does not start at all :( and I did used the same USB port , following the steps in the pdf manual . In the task manager I can see that the athena updater does increase the memory use to 200000KB and then the process just dissapear without any pop up window , anything :( In case that Athena is not connected , I get the ****sticks pop up but nothing with athena connected :(

Should I use another computer? Or delete some files from last time? Upgrade the .net framework to 3.5?

place yor device in bootloader mode and you will notice it will say "Serial" at the bottom of the screen...connect the USB cable and it should now say "USB" on the bottom.

run the d/l ROM and you will be back

Also some recommend removing your SIM and MEM card before ROM updating.

erinyes

you said "IPL-v2.02 and SPL-v1.10 with ATHE100. "

and you are running vista 64 .

Go basic and find an xp machine.

flash an original manufacturer rom while in bootloader.

I think Olipro put the unlocker inside a wrapper that needs an activsync or WMD connection to update the SPL.

I suspect you are not completely unlocked

use a rom from here.http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_WM6Upgrades

or here, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_Upgrades

Next make sure you have an activesync/WMDC connection then do the unlocker from this link

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Athena/Unlocker/AthenaUnlocker.zip

You should then show SPL 1.2 in the tricolor screen.

Then you should follow the instructions for AP4
