Hi,
Because I was tired waiting on the shift, 2 weeks ago, i bougth a ameo on ebay. The guy I bought it from upgraded the ameo to windows mobile 6 and removed the simlock.
I played a lot with the device and I am very happy with it. I installed software on the device's memory and on the microdrive... and removed some of te software.
A few day's ago the windows mobile started to freeze a lot. I also noticed that quite some items from the settings menu have dissapeared (for example the VGA-out in the system tab is gone).
What could be the reason for the items in the system menu to dissapear?
When I do a hard reset, will the simlock and CID-lock still be removed... and will the ameo still have the windows mobile 6 operating system?
Thanks a lot,
Bart

Do you mean the Athena Project Black Dual 3.0 rom?
Is it safe to install it on my Ameo... or is it designed specially for the X7500?
Thanks,

yes that is what i mean, and it is designed for all Athena's (x7500 and AMEO included) so long as you have hardspl (you do) it is safe
Hi,
i don't understand all this and the xda-wiki doesn't tell anything about CID and Wm6-upgrading.
I own a Hermes, and there the CID-Thingy is a bit different.
If i get a T-Mob MDA Ameo with WM5 (not HTC X7500) with T-Mob CID and i flash Hard-SPL after syncing with AS it is possible to flash every Non-T-Mob WM6-ROM from here (no T-Mob branding)?
I am no T-Mob customer, but i can get a new Ameo which i'd like to run with WM6 and no branding.
Hard-SPL doesn't remove the CID-lock but does it bypass the CID?
Seems pof didn't develop a CID unlock tool, but is it really necessary with Hard-SPL-Athena?
Can i flash a free Radio to the Ameo too, one old posting says no?
Can i recook a WM6-ROM then (like i do with HTC Hermes) and remove apps and reflash then to the Ameo?
Last question from Non-Athena-owner: Is the Microdrive the main-ROM storage (WM6 on partition) or is the Microdrive only for App-installs and data so if the microdrive doesn't work anymore (headcrash) the device still runs?

once you cid/sim-unlock you can flash any rom here.so you can get an AMEO and flash the PK3.0 rom.
HardSPL is needed to CID/Sim-unlock-from what i understand.although i only did a step 1 from the unlocker because mine was sim unlocked already.it is necessary to cid-unlock in order to flasha new rom.
by flash radio,do you mean radio rom to improve signal?then yes...if its about the radio chip for fm/am signals,then no one cracked it yet.
once a kitchen is released for the athena then yes.
the microdrive can be used for storage only or programs or both.i install all my programs on device since theres so much room anyway and just incase my microdrive stops working,my programs still work.i put all my music,movies and pictures,manga....etc on my microdrive..i use the miniSD for install application cabs,so if i flash a new rom all my programs i want is ready to install.hope this helps

Thx for the answers!
Last night I flashed the Athena Project Black Dual 3.0 rom... and it looks great.
Thanks a lot!

Hello everybody.
I had installed "TouchFLO Charmer WM6_GER ver. 2.8 BETA by mschmitz" over an WM5 T-Mobile MDA compact II (Charmer) and everything worked great.
see link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331142
Now i cooked my own ROM (Charmer WM6) with some improvements and correct working German Input methods.
see Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2075053#post2075053
As there are several "how-to" here but all are spread around this forum, i will try to give a checklist how you probably not kill your device.
Print this checklist and search the forum for the how-to's.
Prerequisitions:
If something goes wrong, be sure to have a ROM of your Phoneprovider (e.g. T-Mobile WM 5 AKU 2.2 for a T-Mobile device).
If you sdo not have an original ROM, you can use this one to flash back to WM5 (i used this, do not worry that it is english): http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe
Backup your data! All will be lost after upgrading, or if anything goes wrong. You can use Sprite Backup (the only tool that allows upgrading from different WM versions - eg. from WM5 to WM6 - but you wil loose SMS. Use PPCPIMBackup Freeware to backup SMS).
Always use the corrrect ROM (do not use e.g. a MDA III ROM on an MDA II)
I also recommend to delete your Active Sync Partnership after upgrade (Active Sync/File/Delete Mobile Device) and let Active Sync setup a new one (otherwise you may have problems with File sync, sometimes an error pops up).
If you have problems to sync with outlook, it might be a problem with the restored data of SPRITE BACKUP as WM5 has a different database than WM6.
In case you geet an error "Error 8007000e" or similar do the following:
1) Hard Reset
2) Do NOT connect to Active Sync !!!
3) Restore your personal data (If you use Sprite backup select Merge, Level 1 but do NOT select "Migration Data" whern you get the filetree)
4) On your PocketPC start the program "Active Sync" (still NOT connected to PC)!
5) Go to Menu/Options and DELETE the partnership (e.g. "Windows PC").
All Syncroniced data will be deleted on the PocketPC (Contacts, Appointments, etc..), but they are still available in OUTLOOK on your PC.
6) Thereafter delete your Partnership also on the PC (Active Sync - File/elete Mobile Device).
7) Now connect your PocketPC to the Desktop PC and the Outlook data will be syncronized again without error.
You can try to start at point 4) maybe you do not need a hardreset/backup again, try....
After upgrading you should always delete the partnerships....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the upgrading steps. Make sure to check them all!
1) Unlock your device (CID and SIM). You have to CID unlock your device, or otherwise you cannot install a ROM that is e.g. not T-Mobile on an T-Mobile MDA.
How?
First of all you have to check what device (G3 or G4) and what Bootloaderversion (IPL/SPL) 1.x or > 2.x you have.
SOFT reset your device and note the red numbers that come.
If you have something like
IPL: 1.12 (or 1.12.000)
SPL 1.12.0000
you have an G3 device.
If IPL or SPL ends with 1 (e.g. 1.12.0001), you have an G4 device.
(0 is G3, 1 is G4)
Now check the first number.
1.12.xx is an Bootloader version 1 and 2.12.xx is 2, and so on.
I had an G3/Bootloader V1.x device, so I CANNOT say if it works for other devices.
For a G3 device you have to use Lockiwiz2b to SIM/CID unlock your device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474).
For a G4 device you have to use Lockiwiz3 to SIM/CID unlock (dont know if it works)
Its easier to unlock an 1.xx. device, so unlock before upgrading (even with an official ROM)
You will NOT loose your data as no HARD reset is necessary. Lockiwiz will not harm your system (if you do the right thing).
2) Now that you have CID unlocked your device, check your Bootloader Version. WM6 can only be installed with an V2 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 2.x.xxx) or higher!!.
So if you have e.g. IPL/SPL 1.12.xx, you first have to upgrade your device with a more recent WM5. I installed T-Mobile WM5 AKU 2.2 and thereafter i had 2.20.xx
3) WM6 cannot be installed over WM6 !!!
If you allready have a WM6 on your Charmer, DOWNGRADE to WM5, thereafter install the new or updated WM6!
4) Install ROM and enjoy.
If soething went wrong, you can save your device by going to Bootloader mode (push and hold camera button and reset with stylus. When you see the 3 colored Screen, release Camera Button. Then you are in bootloader mode and you can flash the original ROM vie your PC and ActiveSync (thats why you should have a WM5 ROM by the hand)
Summary:
1) Check what device you have (G3/G4)
2) Check what Bootloader Version you have (1.xx.xx or > 2.xx.xx)
3) Unlock CID (and SIM) with Lockiwiz02 (G3) or Lockiwiz03 (G4)
If this did not work, STOP here and forget it, nothing is lost until here! If your device is not CID unlocked you will kill your device with a "non vendor" ROM
4) If your bootloader (IPL/SIP) is 1.xx.xx, first upgrade to 2.xx.xx via an official WM5 ROM upgrade (or check XDA-Developers ROMs), otherwise device is dead
5) If you allready have an WM6 on your device, downgrade to WM5 first!
6) Install WM6 and enjoy.
Regards
Ridingshark
You dont need to CID unlock the device to upgrade to WM6. In fact, CID unlocking works only on 1.xx bootloader, and once you've bought a device with 2.xx, you can't go back.
That's why, instead of cid unlocking, you can just use NO_ID RUU, which bypasses checking the VendorID in the flashing process. You can find it here: http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
Other than that, its a great thread. Making it sticky.
"WM6 can only be installed with an V2 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 2.x.xxx)!!."

Hello amoor.
I also had Bootloader version 1 and simply used the official AKU 2.0 upgrade from T-Mobile from their homepage.
Thereafter it was Bootloader Version 2.
If you do not have an original ROM, you can use this WM5 (Do not worry that it is in english): http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe.
Thereafter you can upgrade to WM6.

Hello,
I have WM6 to installt on my mda compact 2. How bekome I the language in German? Under regional Settings I Have German Others, but the language ist in english.
Thank you for your Answer.
The Menue is in english but the date was in german.??
Why don't you just install a German ROM by Ridingshark or Cyberdel. Then it will be German.
30.53 MB of storage -> OK - after UNhide -> ActiveSync Problem
Hello,
yes it works!!!! 30 MB storage - perfekt - Thank you.
Bevor UNhide 14 MB storage - but ActiveSync works perfect
After UNhide 30 MB storage - Active Sync dosen´t sync!!
Bevor and after unhide the same ROM (WM ROM 6.5 German (CTRLPDA))
all programs work fine BUT SYNC with ActiveSync dosen´t work.
ActiveSync tells me NO MEMORY on device?!?!? I can not sync any caleder or contacts!
Why?
Sorry for my bad english!!!
Greetings from Germany

Who is CTRLPDA? Is it a forum member? We can't help you supporting ROMs not made in the forum cause we don't know the base then.
And what did you unhide? The extROM or what?
Hi everyone,my name's Larry and I just registered to the forums. Please forgive my newness but I am in a bit of a pickle here.
I have a MDA Vario II, aka Hermes 300, that I bought s/h off ebay. Works fine,no worries, but I upgraded to WM6 because i felt browsing was a little slow and the screen graphics werent as good as I expected. The upgrade was from the T-mobile site itself and all went fine. Only thing is I dont believe this phone can handle it(needs more RAM really) and after being online a while it gets really slow,like steerig a cow through treacle at times so I came to the conclusiong it was a bad move! Now I've noticed a link on here about downgrading to WM5 but is it that easy for one with no specialised tools or knowledge(tho i did build my own PC, or should I say ahem WE did)
Also a problem the phone has developed since the upgrade is it keep deleting my email settings, even tho on the 'desktop' screen it tells me i have so many unread emails in each account! So now i cant check emails from it either!
I do hope I can sort this out cos it is really frustrating having a PDA and not being able to browse properly!
Many thanks
Larry
Welcome to XDA-Developers larry. Well Firstly i would start with CID unlocking your device so that you can flash any rom you can do that by downloading hard spl from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
then once you have flashed that you can basically download and install any rom for the hermes. I have an mda vario ii and hate the t-mobile rom as it installs quite a bit of useless crap. I never use and it is also so damn ugly. if after installing a new rom you find you have internet connection problems and/or mms settings then download and run this http://rapidshare.com/files/92547562/UK_Setup.exe that will install the settings for internet and mms for all uk networks, the majority of the cooked roms on here though ,already have a network wizard to set it up for you, but better to be safe than sorry
P.S. I forgot to add if you are looking for speed and extra ram i would look for a vanilla(clean) rom, install that and then add the apps you want via cab files, you will find them scattered about all over this site

all your question answered here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
I have looked thru the wiki and cannot find the advice I need.
My device has the following on it and what I would like to know is if I can actually drowngrade the device back to WM5.
The rom version is 3.60.110.4 (T-mobile UK)
The radio version is 1.50.00.00 so I assume that it is boot 0108.
The IPL is 1.04 and the SPL 2.03.
The protocol reads as follows 32.83.7020.20H
I have come across a guide that states if the radio is above 1.27.00.00 then downgrading may not be possible.
"(NOTE: If your radio version is currently HIGHER than 1.27.00.00 then it is very likely the radio bootloader is version 0108, this WILL NOT allow the radio to be downgraded to a radio containing BL 0106 and will result in a "NO GSM" error.)" -http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27
The other question I would like to ask is this - it is possible to put another verion of WM6 on with this radio version?
Thanks for any advice!
Can anyone help me here!
Do I need to SIM unlock my PDA to update the ROM to a custom ROM, for example Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.30 which I recently downloaded from here.
At the moment it is locked to T-mobile. I have also updated the SPL to 2.10 olipro and the radio is at 1.50.00.00 and the HTC boot is 0108.
Thanks guys

I think you might not have gotten help 'cause it doesn't look like you've read what people pointed for you to read. Hopefully this'll help you get over the jargon hump and make progress. Having upgraded from the Offical T-Moble rom and swapped ROMs, it's definitely worth taking the time to learn how to do.
SIM unlock & CID unlock aren't the same.
If you've had you phone with T-Mobile for at least 3 month they will let Unlock you SIM (at least they do in the US). Contact them directly, you'll need an active account & phone number with them. This is free.
CID unlocking allows flashing ROMs onto your PDA. For some reason the folks at T-mobile, etc want you to have to look at their stuff every time you use a machine you bought through them. Using a cooked rom is like reinstalling XP without having AOL on your computer, makes life much better.
(flashing = installing to a PDA's Read Only Memory)
(ROM = OS + Radio + other stuff = basically everything thats on the PDA after a hard reset)
Flashing can be a dangerous thing, you don't want to 'brick' your PDA so you install an escape hatch. Hard SPL is that escape hatch.
(Brick = peice of baked clay = your PDA if a ROM install fails and you didn't install Hard SPL first)
The Hard SPL protects you if the ROM you installs fails 'cause power went out, ROM was bad, you bumped the cable, etc

Well I did it. flashed the phone with Schaps WM6 4.30 WWE.
Have noticed it runs faster than the previous T-Mobile WM6 and has some really neat features-you can adjust a lot more settings on the phone than before,quite impresed! Thanks for everyones help!
I got an iMate JASJAM from my father awhile back - a great hand-me-down if you ask me!
It's currently running Windows Mobile 5 w/ default just about everything.
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.11
Anyway, onto my problem.
I'm using the Hard SPL upgrade files found in Olipro's thread.
I run it and it works up until I select "Yes" on my device.
It then reboots into the bootloader and just sits there and does nothing until finally the installer throws an error 260.
Anyone else had this problem?
Is there a simple fix?
If it makes any difference, I've got a Mini-SD card in it. 512mb.
Go to the Hard SPL thread, page 116, post 1160. It tells you (and gives all apps needed) how to install using the SD card... Gets rid of those pesky sync problems.
You can use the sad card method to upgrade your os too, just drop the steps using sspl.exe....
Cheers...

Well I flashed maybe 30 HTC Tytn PDA`s (I work in service) and never bricked any... I never putted cooked roms,bcs this roms are stupid.And a lot of cooked roms use much more ram and many of them have simple appcliations,which you can to install alone... So,my advice for peoples : Use official Win Mobile 6 rom from HTC ftp server.You can find links in this forum also...And yeah I dont need HARD SPL for official... never bricked.
Depends slaki85 if the Hermes has been Branded... For example, I have the Telstra rom on my Jasjam, if I tried to put the HTC official rom onto it, I'd have a brick... The carrier rom prevents me putting any other rom on it other than theirs.... And it ALWAYS has a heap of bloatware.
You also can't put wm6.5 on...
Hard SPL allows me to put other roms, cooke or official, that I can't put on without ending up with a brick.
As for the guys who can't put Hard SPL on, use the sd card method as I said before. Its easier, means there's less chance of a brick and takes 2 secs...

Yeah,you are in right with 6.5 WinMo...I really tryed before Win 6.5,and expect few visual changes,he dont have anything new..With 6.5 or 6.5 + Manilla-TouchFLo,TyTN is very slow...what to say about ram memory...sometimes and 15 MB more busy...I understand that peoples always will put new rooms,I only dont understand why peoples risk...Expect if some win dont have some big changes.byw if someone want to put official HTC 6.0 rom,I tryed many times with 100% sucess in HTC TyTN and SPV M3100 (also TyTN but from postpaid Operators)..
I also agree that is HARD SPL good sometimes.I only dont understand why peoples change roms... : P especially custom roms...(few apps more and speed,ram slower...).But probablly I am subjective : )
Again, if you have a carrier rom they tend to overload it with bloatware, software and apps that use their sites. It tends to slow down the hermes and, truth be told, I've started with less than 15Mb ram using the stock rom... When you have that happen, cooked roms are a much better alternative. Also, if you use the apps cooked in it means you don't have to hunt down the cabs yourself....
Much easier....
Hello, this is my first post.
I have bought an SPV M3100 (HTC Tytn). It is my second WinMo phone with touchscreen (first was Eten x500). I've unlocked it (SIM and SuperCID). I've seen here some WM6.5 roms, but they ware moded. I want a CLEAN (original) version of WinMo 6.5 (to customize it myself how i like). I want the WWE version (Romania).
Also, I want to know if WinMo 6.5 have Mass Storage option for card, or i will need a 3rd party program (becouse i don't like ActiveSync) ?

And, now the problem is that i can’t boot ANY OTHER ROM!
I can enter to BootLoader , where i see
HERM100
I PL – 1.04
HERM100
SPL – 2.03
ALSO, i CAN connect to PC (it displays „usb” & i see it on Device manager)
(PC run Vista Ultimate 64 bit).
But, when i try to upgrade ANY ROM , the process starts, BUT STOPS at 0% ? .
I searched & read 4 days for a SOLUTION to make my phone alive again..
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Is a REAL solution for this issue?
Please reply.
Thanks!
T-mobile HD2 Update MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1), What is it?
Today T-mobile release a new software update. Does anybody know what it is for?
I assume if you have a rom installed it is no good. I am running Energy Rom, and Radio 2.15.50.14, so I am assuming updating would be a bad idea.
yeah has anyone installed it and what are the benefits of it?? I want to know b4 installing...
You may get better answers over in the TMOUS HD2 forum on this
Features of the 3.14.531.1 update
I also had the same question - what is it that changed with the new HTC HD2 ROM? I spent a lot of time searching, and found this:
Pasting the text below, just in case that link dies (I hate it when that happens):

==============================================
For all you T-mobile HTC HD2 smartphone users out there who have been waiting for an official software update to land, you’ll be happy to know that today is the day you have been waiting for as T-Mobile is to release software update version 3.14.531.1 to the HTC HD2.
According to an article over on Tmonews, the new software update from T-mobile will deliver several fixes along with stability improvements and access to new apps like Amazon MP3 and Shazam. As for those bug fixes…
The new software update will fix such stuff as slow browsing when on Facebook, the inability to delete Gmail messages in the preview screen, Twitter errors, SMS being delivered to the wrong person, and the white screen whilst browsing the net, the inability to hear Visual Voicemail, unable to unlock the device, unable to unlock the HTC HD2 with correct password, and the lack of a space bar on company directory keyboard, and finally the speakerphone doesn’t work after using the Call Assist app to call 611.
HTC HD2 user can download the new software update by visiting t-mobile and following the instruction; however T-mobile will issue a notification by text to HTC HD2 users when the update is ready, which should be today the 19th of October so keep an eye on your text messages and let us know how you get along.

No Bluetooth stack fixes...
Its horrible...I'm having the worst connections to apps like Omarket, Marketplace, Slacker Radio...The Wifi will not stay connected...The only thing working as far as connections is the internet.
edit: Everything's working now except the Facebook app.

no. Once a phone is network unlocked it cannot be locked again.

yes, it will be locked again! But, there is no reason why T-mobile will not request an unlock code from HTC on your behalf. Usually it takes 24-48hrs

Why you say it's a bad idea...because the official is no good or because you can damage the phone this way ? I went from omega to the 3.14.531.1 and I experience many problems freezes restarts etc ...I think the update damaged the phone (although it was successful)

no, because it would remove the rom he was using, which he didnt want.

you probably left hspl installed, 3.14 plus hspl = "many problems freezes restarts etc"
Ι am no expert but I am sure I replaced HSPL with SPL 2.08
Still I experience all these freezes and restarts with both 2.13.531.1 and 3.14.531.1 versions (in 3.14.531.1 it even freezes when you insert the memory card)
Can it be something else ?

so, is that spl 2.08 or hspl 2.08 or spl 2.08.0000 or hspl 2.08.hspl? clarity please, leaving off the last 4 digits prevents us from double checking your work.
enter bootloader, whats it say next to spl? (all of it, not just the x.xx bit)

Entering the bootloader right now says 2.10.0000
It must have been changed after flashing the official 2.13.531.1 (via USB)
Prior to doing that I had run the utility hspl3 and chosen 2.08.0000 (there are 2 choices in this utility as you say 2.08.0000 and 2.08.hspl) so (I thought) I had replaced the hspl with the official loader
Does this utility (hspl3) effectively changes the SPL or just updates the displayed number ?
Do you suggest following the micro SD card method to flash and not the USB method ?
I read somewhere that the ONLY way to replace the SPL is by flashing from micro SD...so what is the hspl3 utility for ?
Can you help me with that please ?
I need help because the phone right now although it seems to have been flashed correctly to official 2.13.531.1 and displays 2.10.0000 as it's SPL version freezes and restarts every some minutes...

thats stock - any ending 0000 is stock

yes, because you chose teh wrong 2.08 (next step) it will be changed by usb flashing. Had you chosen 2.08.hspl, this would still say 2.08.hspl

completely changes the actual spl software in your phone.

usb, always usb

thats old instructions.
for a start hspl .exeis for applying hspl, not just removing it - you can simply run hspl3 (or hspl4, whichever, makes no difference) - choose an spl ending .0000, hspl is gone. choose one with .hspl and, , , guess, , , yes! it loads hspl onto teh phone.
Can you help me with that please ?

yep, happens a lot that, especially with stock roms,, give 3.14 a try perhaps.
3.14.531.1 has more problems...not only it freezes with certain applications (or making phone calls) but it freezes when inserting the microSD card as well...that's why I went to 2.13.531.1...at least I could keep the microSD inside without freezing...
And that's why I think it's not a firmware-software issue...that's what I'm trying to verify...
Now I have another bigger issue...after trying to flash a firmware that I think it wasn't T-Mobile's by mistake (the phone is T-Mobile model) the SPL is now 3.03.0000 and the 2.13.531.1 and 3.14.531.1 firmwares refuse to start flashing
Is there something I can do ?
I want to go back to 2.13.531.1 so I can sent it to T-Mobile
Thanks
Use hspl4, choose 2.08.hspl, reflash 2.13.
Sounds like you flashed a non tmous stock 3.14,,, don't do anything that silly again.
Just confirm for us,,, your send key is green, right?
Thank you very much I used hspl4 and managed to go back to the proper ROM
As for the send key if you mean the key with the little telephone on it yes it's green...the phone is T-mobile it says so on the top
Now that I have tried 2.10.531.1 - 2.13.531.1 and 3.14.531.1 versions and all 3
suffer from strange freezes and restarts when making phone calls or watching movies from the internet or the storage card (after some time) don't you think it's safe to presume that there is a hardware fault and return it to the vendor ?
Do you think there is something else for me to try ?
Thank you again for your help...
