Ameo is gone.... - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

...tried to unlockit with the athena-unlocker! After Step 1 it startet to Step2 und suddenly the connection was lost!
Now the battery lamp of the Ameo is in green mode!
I can make a factory reset, but I see no bootloader mode!
Screen is black an a green light aroundthe joystick! The Connection via active sync to my pc isn't available any mory!
What do you think?
game over - any change to bring my Ameo back to life?
Edit1: ther is no MiniSd Card inside

Hi, I do not think your Ameo is lost. Some else hat the same problem, please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1358430&postcount=35 and try the steps described there. In most cases, it is also possible to flash WM6 if your device is stuck in the bootloader.

There are two things I would like you to try:
- To make a Hardreset hold the volume slider down and press the reset button.
- To enter Bootloader press and hold the camera button and press the reset button.
Do any of these work?
If any of these two works, you should be able to flash WM6.

...you were right - thx a lot 4 the solution

You're welcome, have fun with WM6 However, if you want to kill the SIM-Lock/Net-Lock on your device, you have to run the unlocker again. It seems that WM5 has some problems running the unlocker while WM6 does not.
After you successfully run the unlocker again, remember to flash your WM6 ROM again (watch the battery power, it should always be >50% before starting flashing!) so you have the newest Radio version.
If problems persist after flashing, this page in the XDA wiki might be helpful: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...e Athena Unlocker - the Black Screen of Death

Can't get into Bootloader

Hi,
I have the Vario II and I would like to upgrade my radio to 1.20 and I've been reading the wiki and various posts here to learn about it. I followed the instructions to check my bootloader version (side OK + Power then pressed Yes onscreen). That worked and I see that have v1.04 - great. The instruction said use stylus to load windows normally but nothing on the bootloader (3 colour) screen or any buttons did anything so I took the battery off and on again.
WM5 boots fine but now but I cannot get into the bootloader again to do pof's SuperCID or the radio 1.20 upgrade. It just turns off when I do a side OK + Power + press Yes.
can anyone help?

press ok+power+reset with stylus
D'oh, my bad. I thought "press reset with stylus" meant press Yes... I didn't realise the recessed reset button existed until now! Had it said "push in" rather than press I might have been quicker off the mark. Oops.
All sorted now.
Slight problem.
Some text messages are not being received now. Anyone else experienced similar problem?

hI ALL, can u tell me the mini guide how to install this rom? I did it once to my sda but I dont remember now, where is the nbfupdatetool and RUU and patched RUU..???
when I type l c:\wm6.bin it give me this:

Error : DownloadImage return error (code = 0xFFFFFFFF)
cmd>
maybe damaged rom, or any idea?
Gang: Make sure you're CID unlocked. (Eg, when you issue "info 2", it says HTCSuperCID).
How can do that cid unlock? give me some working link to download that tool or something. thx
here you go
http//www.spv-developers.com/content/SPV-Services.zip
you must check "CID Tool (Alpha)" and click set CID=11111111
after this restart your phone
and short solutions about wm6 installing:
* installation is the same like typhoon
-unlock Super CID
-upgrade new SPL (Patched ruu)
-disable USB connection in ActiveSync
-switch off your phone
-press and hold camera button, and put USB cable to your phone
-next check "Y"
-when your phone will be in bootloader mode (tri color screen) run mtty
- check USB connection in this program
and write: - info 2
- format BINFS
- l c:\566.bin (localization of your rom)
after succeful installising reboot your phone and it will be end
rom is very good, baterry work better
hmm, thx for guide, I believe it will work, but I have little problem : now I cant even connect to activesync so I cant do cid unlock, any idea how to fix that

Thanks for helping out!
A few questions?
1. This link "http//www.spv-developers.com/content/SPV-Services.zip" takes me to Wikipedia.
2. Where can I find the patched ruu to update the spl. It wasn't in the zip file?
Thanks in advance!
to Mr MIAGY :
1. just write that link starting with www. (without http//, or type http://)
2. in ''wm6 for c550'' topic u will find patched RUU and all needed files, they are ziped together

Ok, so a report. The phone boots, goes through WM6 splash screen, then operator screen, then APPARENTLY dead black screen.
BUT I plugged in the USB cable and the screen came on! WM6 Setup screen! All good go through setup eveything looks GREAT!
Only problem is, if I leave the phone alone for a bout a minute, the screen goes black AGAIN. Then no amount of key pressing on the device will bring it back to life.
Plugging the USB cable in brings it instantly back to life! But This means I can't wander too far from my PC ;-)
ANY Ideas
BTW IT LOOKS FANTASTIC! If I can just get around this issue ;-)

Heh heh ... seems I'm posting to myself ... that's cool I like my own company ... So I reflashed the SPL and some of the problems have gone away.
Phone will boot OK now ... but it will still "go to blank screen" and require plugging into the USB cable to "wake it up"
I'm out of ideas now ...

Athena dead after switching to new Michy (SPL mismatch...)

Hi All,
I had on my Athena the previous Michy Rom (2.04 with SPL 1.20) and when I saw the new version (4.00 with SPL 3.5):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411371
I decided to install it. Like an idiot, I did not pay attention to the fact the SPL was different... I started the flash process and when I realized my error, it was too late.
The upgrade did not completed (as expected :-()) and now I am stuck with a corrupted bootloader screen, so I can't proceed (the device does not boot so I can't access ActiveSync).
Any way forward? Thanks for any hints!

When you are in bootloader(three coloured screen) what do you see?
remove sim and sd card , hold camera button all the way in and press the reset button(on the back close to the battery cover)
If you see in bootloader mode ID showing somenting different than ATHE100 the solution is HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405814

Thanks - already tried!
When I reset/hard-reset the phone (tried many ways) I see a garbled boot image (with random pixels here and there)... It is definitively not the usual bootloader with the information about the various ROM components and the "USB" text at the bottom.

Solution!
I managed to do the same thing - had an old AP ROM with SPL 1.2 already installed then earlier today I tried to upgrade to the new Mitchy R4 SPL 3.5. I thought my Ameo was bricked, but after some pain it is now working again.
Here is what I did:
1) Enter bootloader mode using the very tricky Camera+Volume+Reset method.
2)
Follow exactly the steps in post 33 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387454&highlight=mtty&page=4
Note, I'm running Vista so to get the USB option to show in MTTY, I had to first open "Windows Mobile Device Center" in Control Panel then disable the USB.
Also, note you should find your MAC under the battery flap.
3) Now all you need to do is reset, enter the bootloader mode again, and re-try the ROM (PS, make sure you use the correct SPL version!
Hope this helps.

However you are incorrect in your advice about how to enter bootloader

[Q] Very slow performance on my HD2

Hi all,
I've installed the latest official ROM (World Wide English (WWE) 3.14.405.2) downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283 and also co0kie home tab 2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792303 on my HD2.
At the beginning everything OK but when time goes on (right now it is second week) it starts to slow down to almost freeze in several cases!! any idea?
By the way, 80% of program memory is always occupied!
Thanks
Go into bootloader, look at spl line.
if it DOESN'T say 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl then that's the problem,, use hspl4 and choose either of those.
Thanks, but could you help me more detailed on what you recommended? I've no idea what you're talking about?! Sorry for that
I'm not expert about this.
By the way, would this method remove all information (i.e. contacts, sms and ...)?
Thanks in advance
power off phone
press, hold and KEEP HOLDING volume down key
press and release power
KEEP HOLDING VOL DOWN
when striped coloured screen appears, that is bootloader, , now you can let go of volume down.
What does the 'spl' line say?
It says:
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
What should I do now?
See? If you had read and understood post 2 it would be fixed by now
so you haven't got the right spl to run 3.14, just like I mentioned in post 2, it needs to be 3.03.xxxx for 3.14 and you have 1.42.xxxx
Enter bootloader, run hspl4 choose 3.03.0000 or 3.03.Hspl and reboot.
Thanks, but the problem is I've no idea "how to run hspl4"!!! Should I download something and install it on my HD2?
I've found this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477) and I think it has a full guide for this!
Thanks for your help,
After installing this new HSPL4 should I install the ROM again?

All you have to do is put hour phone into bootloader (multicolor screen) by holding the vulume down button down as your HD2 is booting up. Connect your HD2 via USB to the computer wait for the computer to install the drivers if they are (if they are not already) then you will see the Serial change to USB in the white bar of bootloader. When you see USB right click on the HSPL.exe and select run as administrator. The DFT utility will ask what version you want to install, it will be on 2.08 as default. Click on the little arrow to make the drop down box come down and select either 3.03.0000 or 3.03. The .0000 is regular SPL and the 3.03 is HSPL. And no you do not have to reflash the ROM but I would sugest a hard reset just to be safe.
Thanks guys,
Now the memory usage dropped down to below 50%!!! Let's see if there would be freezes or not
