I'm out of my depth and an need of some help to get my X7500 back into working order !
I upgraded my machine to AP4, carefully following the nicely documented instructions, and it worked a treat. The new interface looked great. However, for some reason my GPS application (i-GO Europe) wouldn't work at all. After searching the threads and not finding anything there, I thought it would be best to return to my old ROM version - the official HTC Advantage WM6 Upgrade. Naively I thought that this would be just as simple as running the Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship executable - but I was wrong ! The update failed, and now I am left with a PPC with a pretty three colour screen...
ATHE100
IPL-v1.00
ATHE100 MFG
SPL-v3.50. OliNex
Is there any way that I can recover my device from this state ?
You have spl3.5
very easy to solve
just plug your athena to the PC and install a rom for SPL3.5 , there are several good ones, since AP4 didn't work for you and I cannot remember if AP4 can be installer from boot loader, the easy thing should be install the latest Michiprima rom (SPL3.5 not 1.20)
if you wish to install a original rom in the future remember to use spl downgrader to go back to SPL1.20
As always take memory cards from the device before playing and please read

Just reflash with a MICHY rom,any will do, but if you want to go back to SPL 1.2 then use THIS
However try Michy's latest r6.0 it is very good

Tried the Michy R6.0 and it does look good. Still having problems with my GPS application though, so might have to go back to the original. Will play around with this one in the meantime.
Thanks for taking the time to make your suggestion.

In regard to the GPS have you upgraded your radio version above 1.5
Radio 1.57
or
Radio 1.58

Unfortunately not !
I ended up loading AP3, and my GPS application worked on that. Now I've gone back to the official WM6 ROM. When I have some time, I might reload the AP4 ROM and try the new versions of the radio - but I need a stable device at the moment.
Thanks again
i just remembered
i just remembered you have to disable htc home in AP4 for igo to work
Just load michys large htc home cab instead
god, got to love the community spirit

> ROM Version: AP 4.0 Platinum
> ROM Date: 11/09/07
> Radio Version: 1.58.00.00
> Protocol Version: 32.91.70.20.20H
Just an update for those interested. I'm now running AP4 with i-GO happily running away. Not sure I needed to update the Radio version, but you were right - I had to turn off the HTC HOME in Today.
Thanks for the help from those more experienced. It was greatfully received and, although I haven't had time to really use the upgraded device in anger yet, I am currently very happy with it.
Just one last thing. Have you got a link for the said 'michys large htc home cab', as that would be the icing on the cake to have that lovely Home available.
Thanks very much !

I did pull it from the Artemis and I'm redoing it now. You're right it don't work but it doesn't brick. I looked at the size and the Hex Dump of both and they are similar. The Artemis ROM even had the G3 and G4 IPL and SPL when I decoded the ROM. I had so much hope but no go.
I was considering the Excalibur ROM as well but its bigger than the Prophet/Wizard radio ROMs. I'm more apt Prophet/Wizard Radios are usually around 2.5MB. The Excalibur ROM is 2.8MB. Not sure the the dedicated Radio space on the Prophet but the difference is just enough to brick.
I've already decoded it. If some one wants to try the Excalibur I'll post it.
i dun mind trying excalibur as well.. but redo the artemis 1st. i'll try again once u finish.. if u look at the post in artemis forum it says 2.67 got good battery life.. dat i want!! lol..
Confirming the radio rom does not work as well on my S200
I've created a G3 version for my S200 but it's not working, doesn't find the provider any longer, I'll play around some more, but a no go so far.

Radio rom upgrade problem!
I upgraded my s200 RadioROM to 2.63.90. Now my Phone lost Radio Rom and lost the GSM signal. The phone become very slow and con't activesync to the pc. I have try but can't upgrade any other rom now! Can someone help me?
I had the same problem! After radio update, Prophet does not connect to the PC anymore. I,ve managed the problem with the following steps, take them exactly:
1. Download the linked file and extract it in a known place: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Wizard/2_47_11_radio.rar
2. Disconnect Prophet from the USB cable;
3. Enter in the boot loader mode (press power button + camera button in the same time and hit reset);
4. Connect the cable and in the left down corner the USB name will apear;
5. Go to the directory that you extracted from the downloaded file and start ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe (is in itallian, but there are the usual steps for upgrading ROM, so I think you'll manage).
After this, hopefully the upgrade Radio ROM process will start!
I'll repet myself, follow exactly this steps with attached file, this was my way and the only that worked for me!
P.S. Someone should delete the 2.63.90 Radio ROM file from th Prophet FTP, is dangerous and brakes your Prophet!
Thanks very much! My Phone has come back!

Radio 2.63.90 removed.
The Radio 2.63.90 has been removed. It is incompatible the Prophet. I'm going to continue to research these Roms. Thanx for the input.
Hi,
Here's my own modification. I did id for my own purpose, and decided to share it with you.
As a Base, I choosed 1.11.171 version of O2 ROM.
I stripped it from o2 stuff, left only necessary files. I added extra bluetooth profiles and left bluetooth and camera patch from new version (pug's version doesn't have it, despite what he says in his posts on this forum)
I also added Radio 1.04 from Pug's release.
Enjoy

hmm. it's working again.. i think that hey had some minor technical issues. should be ok.
Is there improved radio strength, stability? What does .171 improve?
yes
radio was taken from pug's release (162).. which is good, because it's more stable than official 1.0
apart from this, there's patched bluetooth driver, that was officialy released by o2. _THE SAME_ that previously was circulating around this forum.
i merged it with extra profiles taken from previous releases, because some people experienced a tiny set of options with this upgrade.
camera fix was also merged from the new, official 171 release. dunno what it does, because i'm not using this function
overall, the stability is the same because main rom version is the same. it doesn't change anything in windows core. changes were made only to the extended rom. that's it.
i have many applications (including startup ones, like: spb pocketplus, resco explorer, skype, agile messenger, etc.)
i'm using my rom for a week and I, personally, didn't experienced ANY hangs or resets. it's working like a charm.

My Alpine is dead
Yesterday I tried to update my alpine to this new Rom, but dissaster happened.
Maupgrade recognized my device and my version, and I told the program to begin with the update.
After more than 3 hours the scrren was blank with usb v1.01.
I took the pda and trie to hard reset it but it has been imposible.
Now the screen only says serial v1.01 or usb v1.01
If i try to re-run the maupgrade it only says that is checking the information of my device and stays like that for hours.
what can I do to have my PDA back?????

Hi,
I do not have such problems.
Maybe you would like to share what roms u using?
Some suggestions, you might want to flash back to the original rom to see if such problem persist.
I'm currently using UDK R7 with murata 1.58.25.14.
Hope that helps
Waht is your serialnr. of the device.
Because on a dutch forum we collect al the serialnr. to look at the most common problems with the serialnr. as a reverence.
Maybe with this information i can look a this forum for u so you can contact HTC.
there is a fix on the HTC site
there is a patch for the HTC polaris on the HTC site. Did you apply that?

This is not a hardware error because some time my BT was switch on, (on that time i dont know why it live)
Dunno! Too bad maybe hardware bug sometimes false connection or bluetooth processor partial out of service.
What is the differences between 1.58.25.14 and 1.64.08.21 version.I don't understand why some rom are 1.58.xxxx and other are 1.64.xxxx
are you using the comm manager or just turning it on from the bluetooth section of connections
Same Problem Here
Today my Polaris Began to do exactly the same, Bluetooth will not turn on no matter what. I did hard reset, applied the BT patches on HTC support page after the hard reset and my Bluetooth worked for some hours but when I walked in the car it could not connect to the BT Hands free and afterwards it restarted itself and no more BT. Did hard reset again applied the patches but now nothing seems to work. I have the original German 1.25.407.1 GER ROM and it had been working great for the past six months but not anymore today... any suggestions on how to fix this issue??
1.64 Radio ROMs are from Kaiser.

Good day all.
I have the same problems with my HTC TC. It is only 4 months old and it all started with the BT problem failing intermittently... now permanent. Then my mic volume is too soft to make proper conversation... and now my USB doesn't work.
My TC information as follows:
ROM: 1.26.457.1 WWE
Radio: 1.58.21.23
I like to flash the ROM with the latest from HTC but no USB connection... to PC.
Can someone advise how I can proceed?? I'm hoping this upgrade can fix all my problems.

You can put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing camera + reset button, connect your phone into PC by USB cable, then flash a rom you want.
In my 3 month experience using Polaris, no any rom or radio at this moment can fix BT problem. Only one method will fix it: goodbye Polaris, buy another phone
So I like to try and recover the TC by trying everything b4 giving up totally. My PC-to-USB connection on the TC does not work and would like to see if I can load the new ROM on HTC site thru' other means via the microSD.
Anybody know how I can achieve this???
HELP!!!

rename the RUU_signed.nbh to POLAIMG.NBH copy to the root of your sd card then while pressing your camera button take youir stylist and stick it in the reset hole at the bottom of your phone to the left of your usb.
Good day bkeaver
Thanks for your response. Where can I get the RUU_signed.nbh file??
In the HTC site, I have downloaded an .exe file and the instructions require me to connect the TC to the PC using activesync thru' the USB port...
... very grateful if you can point me to the website??
Hi friends,
I purchased an unlocked version of GSM Touch Diamond from newegg.com while I was in US. I realised later that I could not find any FM radio in it. How do I know if its just hidden (though that would be absurd) or not present at all ? How can I get it, if it can be done (and I would assume a rom update) ?
Secondly, I installed the latest version of GSen, got it to be run at startup and when I rebooted my phone, it said that GSen would not start bcos of some damn error. I had to uninstall. Any ideas how I can get around this ?
My rom version is 1.93

In order to 'unlock'the FM radio you need to replace your ROM with a cooked ROM that has it built in. There is no way to enable it without doing so. Also GSen is an old program and I never had much luck with it. I would recommend Gyrator2 as it is a much more stable and gives more options for customization. Hope it helps!! Both of these answers could be found in the xda forums with just a little bit of searching...
I was able to get the FM Radio without replacing my original ROM by downloading the radio cab file from this post -

This could probably help others like me.

I'm totally new to this all & never done before but if guided I can do it.

Hey flyboy!
Thanks for showing interest, please guide me how to go?
Ok what i would do is look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428469
and make sure you read through before doing anything.
If you download any roms: wm6.5 is the latest, but wm6/6.1 is more reliable.
And i think il post a snap of my himalaya.
BTW: When did you get your himalaya?

PS: If you have any problems just feel free to pm me!

Anyway,thanks a lot for your frnd request,you'r my 1st friend.

Hi!
Hey Flyboy!
What's this Dopad? I gone through the description of flashing ROM & found to press "Dopad+Reset+Power button".
Well, I came across many WM6 & WM6.1, also read reviews for the same, which is most trusted or you like to use?
lol
typing error! DPad- press in the center of the directional pad
btw: when du get your himalaya?
i will make you a video on youtube if your still not sure.
edit: i have made the video and is uploaded:

A little more help please, Dear!
Firstly, a bi....g Thanks man!!
for the help rendered & efforts taken for me by making demo YouTube video.
Well, I all set go for my first ROM update. But just the part of precaution, I'v a query!
I gone through many threads & wiki, which helped me like tutorial.
But if suppose the new ROM update gets crash with my Himalaya, is there any way to re-jump to the existing original ROM I do have in device now?
I mean, can I bounce back to original ROM, in case of new ROM update failure?? If yes, please guide me how??
Hey Man, sorry for troubling you again & again!!
1. it will probably not go wrong
if you list all the spec of your computer and the equipment that you have for your himalaya it would give me a clearer idea about upgrading for you.
2.Its ok it keeps me busy! my teacher has gave me 3 htc voxes to fix in the past. anyway.
a little story.
When i got my himalaya in march this year i was chufed at what it could do then i discoverd that the rom was out of date and that was why i couldnt install much. Then i found this place. I read up on some threads on updating and i saw it was possible. So i nervously followed the guide because i found that if anything went wrong the device could be rendered unuseable. But... I went ahead and flashed it and it worked. And the first rom i ever flashed was athers windows mobile 6 ultimate edition. Since then i have not yet found a rom as brilliant as stable as it.
so when upgrading things can go wrong. but dont be reluctant to flash a new rom.
and you would have to do a bit of research if you decided you wanted the original rom back.
btw how old are you?
ONE MORE THING. I WILL LOOK FOR THE ORIGINAL ROM FOR YOU TONIGHT.
flyboy
I would also like an original Himlaya rom backup (O2 XDA II). As soon as I have the backup I will be flashing away!
Whoa!
Ooh! 12 yrs old compu geek ur!!
Well, I'm of 25!!
Thanks for encouragement. Like you, me too love my gadget very much & peruse a hobby of using high profile gadgets. I was not aware of this platform & came across through Googgling.
Long time I'm using O2 XDA II & loves it badly, it's a last gift from one of my friend from Singapore who's no more.
I'v a HP 614c gadget & if succeed with this , I'l like to have some R & E with that too, in fact that's require on that.
im 13 btw
flyboy
Oh, Sorry!!
Hah..ha....haahaha!!
I'm sorry, ur profile shown 12 y'day.
Well man, I got this link (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=233219) relate to O2 XDA II WM 2003 SE ROM, please have a look on the same.
Whats your opinion, can I use this for bounce back to previous version, in case of any problem?
that rom i would recommend flashing with that first.
just to make sure3
dont forget to back up!
good luck
flyboy
Pls suggest!
Hey Flyboy!
Y'day I tried to do the process but I fell to upload Hard SPL (BTW I'm going for C_shekhsr's ROM)
I followed noobs guide, update the USB driver for vista, then went to bootload the device & try to force Hard SPL.
Following all given instructions also its showing connection error (Error 260, 264) & process stops, but in reality everything is well connected & correct.
Well, when Hard SPL program executing, I observe, it also not showing my old version @Upload (second stage of confirmation).
Is there any special process for O2 XDA II hard SPL & on vista os??
I followed all guides well; What do you think may b going wrong?
Hard SPL? whats that? i never had to use it.
regarding error no connection:
go to task manager and make sure something a long the lines of microsoft usb sync or something is installed. and then disallow all the connection settings in windows mobile device center.
oh and if it still doesnt work try it without hard spl because i didnt use it. and it works on 7 and xp.
oh and the rom im using now is WinMoB_6.1_OS_5.2.21109_Build_21109_-_Lite_WWE.
try it! it runs touch flo!
dont hesitate to contact me.
or i could show you better on msn?
flyboy
Hi!
Hey man!
As I said I'm looking to dumb C-Shekhar OS with following specs:
----------------------------------------------------------------
ROM: WM1.60.21014aCS(build 21014 AKU 1.60)
dated: 09.Jan.2009
OS 5.2.21014 (Build 21014.1.6.0)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, he flaged Hard SPL as compulsory pre requirement.
Well, the OS you have mentioned, is that of Ather? or from which source?
Y'day I tried Asia CE2003 (Upgraded), & that worked.
Well, in Bootloader, the device connectivity is a main issue occurring with me & I'm failing to understand the reason. I mean is this bcs of Vista or else?
sorry for late reply (baned from my computer!)
the rom i wrote is by nokser
just try it without the hardspl thing cause it worked for me.
Hi!!
Hey Flyboy!!
I load the Ather's dark ROM (WM 6.0) & its really nice, I'm enjoying a new look to my gadget.
Well, is it possible to install FM Radio on O2 XDA II? I tried the same from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479572 but saying not related application after installing cab.
Do you have any clue for same??
Well,before I logout, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas
& here's hoping for a wonderful ski season in the New Year! A very happy new year 2010, my friend!!!
..Have a blast, Cheers !!!!
Thanks!!! really that cheered me up!
Well all the best wishes to you also my friend!!!!
The FM radio is a good idea but dont think it will work.
Are you staying with that dark rom from ather or you still going for the C_shekhar one?
merry christmas!
flyboy
btw: have you tryed manila touchFLO? its great!
