Going back to WM5 - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

Has anyone successfully gone back to WM5 after upgrading to WM6 on an X7500? I was told by HTC that it was not possible because the bootloader was changed when I went to WM6 and now I can not go back?????

well this is totally not true, i went back to WM5 with no problem at all. after that i even changed the radio to 1.50.00 which went smoothly.

utter bollocks, and I presume you're running 1.20.Olipro from step 1 of the unlocker?
my SPL is patched so you don't write over it.

Thanks...
Thanks to both who replied that what I was told about being unable to go back to WM5 after upgrading to WM6 was "bunk". I have successfully done so!

Anyone have a TMO original RS Image on SD Card?

I believe my issues with my PPC are stemming from a bad RS upgrade. Does anyone have a TMO original Radio Stack image they can supply me to try out?
Thanks.
Which version do you want??
I have R3.18, 3.24,3.25
At this point I will try all thrown at me but it just has to be able to be flashed via sd card because I cannot get into the OS nor can I install a new OS because it locks up while flashing.
The problem began after I upgraded the RS to an o2 version and it all went downhill afterwards.
Thanks

you killed your phone from radio stack (GSM900/1900) to O2 (GSM900/1800).

O2 xda Orbit problem

Hi there, I got my O2 xda orbit 2 weeks ago from germany and I decided to change the german rom to an wwe one, but the phone got bricked and stays on the welcome screen
I think I did a CID unlock but I am not sure. I can get to bootloader but I don't know what to do. How can I put a WWE WM6 on my Orbit? and also how can I check if my battery is above 50%?
Thank you
flash device with original O2 ROM.
regards,
Ok, but the only original O2 roms that I found in this forum are WM5, the original WM on my Orbit was WM6
Have you tried using the original O2DE WM5 ROM, although I am fairly sure that O2DE were one of the first to release a WM6 ROM.
EDIT: Yes, here it is: ftp://htc_us:[email protected]_O2_DE_3.4.207.2_4.1.13.41_02.88.90_Ship.exe
So when I flash the original O2 rom, can I upgrade to an english WM6 and how?
Follow the instructions on the UPSL thread to CID unlock your device. NOTE: Best to use an XP computer, Vista will not work right.
Then immediatly flash the ROM of your choice.
I think my CID is unlocked. I followed the instructions that were in the forum and the spl changed to 1.11.0000. Which ROM file should I put on my device? thx

Go for B&B3.7. Stay clear of the O2 Official ROM. It's crap!!!
O2 WM6 rom
use the O2 wm6 upgrade nothing wrong with it really go to their site and download . If you have a UK O2 orbit you will not need to CID unlock it will go on with no problem

You don't like it then that is fine, but crap? No. It is wholly stable and works absolutely perfectly.

Don't have anything new to add that hasn't been said already.........except that i don't like it. Been using B&B3.7 until last night. O2 WM6 seems like a step backwards from this ROM, not sure why

Yes it is stable, yes it works perfectly.
I still don't like it.
B&B3.7 is very stable. It also works perfectly. plus it also works a damn site faster too.
I am entitled to my own opinion, you are to yours.

did you recover device?
you can flash any ROM with USPL installed, read USPL manual.
regards,
Thanks to everybody for their comments, but active sync does not work on my pc when the phone is bricked and stays on the welcome screen so I can't install the uspl... Also when I am able to fix this problem, which rom would you recommend me to upload on my device?
n1k1
1. you need to flash your device with original ROM it was shipped with.
flashing is done from bootloader. activesync will be unavailable, don't bother. just start flasher and follow the wizard.
2. when device is flashed and operational, install uspl.
documentation is supplied with uspl.
3. since then, you can flash any ROM you like.
regards,

Hold TOP LEFT button and press in RESET and get device into bootloader. Can't do anything from welcome screen. Then flash the devices original ROM. After this flash USPL and the B&Bv4 as this is the best available...........as of yet anyway.
Hi
I followed uspl instructions. But after stage 1 (White screen) active sync will not connect. Phone connected to charger, still on White screen.
If advice above about bootloader is correct, could someone re-explain with simple steps.
Thanks colink

Original WM5 Ameo T-Mobile rom

The unit has been constantly freezing and it takes about 20 reboots a day so would like to try it on its original Rom does anyone know where I can find this.
I have found the WM6 upgrade but would firstly like to see what its like on wm5. Currently running the black rom but freezes.
Many Thanks Daz
There is no UK T-Mobile WM5 ROM available.
The closest you will get is to download the German version and use the English CAB.
It will restore it to appear just as good as the WWE ROM, however, if you are requiring this for a warranty return, as soon as the engineer hard resets and finds it to be German... could cause problems...
Does this work?
I have been told by HTC that once you upgrade an X7500 to WM6 that it changes the bootloader and you can NOT go back to WM5??? Has anyone successfully gone back to WM5 from WM6?

Request: RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Sh ip

I have found no working link for RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship including link given at WIKI. I have googled for above ROM but still no working link.
I need above ROM as i need to go back on official WM5 ROM of mine (from WM6) before installing TOUCH IT. Any help???
Not exactly what you requested but close enough
HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe (official WM6 ROM)

I'm sure you don't have to downgrade.
I didn't do that and nobody else I know

I am already using your mentioned ROM. I have tried HARD SPL and WM6_Hard_SPL.rar. I have also tried BETA3 USPL. I recieve connectivity errors though I am able to run same WM6 RUU (Ship version) successfully. In WIKI its mentioned among known problems that
UPGRADING TO WM6 FROM WM6
(PLEASE DELETE LINE IF CONFIRMED)
Not sure if this is a known\common issue but when you are upgrading from a cooked WM6 ROM to another cooked WM6 ROM you must first downgrade to WM5 otherwise you will get hung at the first boot loader screen
Weird, if your SPL is at least 4.xx.xx the HardSPL ROM should work fine with you. I flashed from original German O2 WM6 ROM to HardSPL WM6 ROM. Then I flashed to latest HTC German WM6 ROM (for a clean base) and from there to any available custom ROM.
Thats what i am unable to understand. It gives me connection error 202 on PC as soon as it goes to BOOT loader. I have seen a few other users making same complaint in HARD SPL thread of olpiro.
I have connection problems too, and they were fixed by uninstalling activesync, then redownloading it from the MS website.

Thanks Issue has been Resolved via USPL and TOUCH IT.
