Follow my guide and use method 3. This will flash back a factory ROM, Dopod or whatever.

hello okkba
thanks for your help and your quick reply. i see that you help a lot of people around here so bless you.
i tried step 3 already.. the problem is that i don't have a "factory rom" that suitble for my device so i tried it with the dopod rom and i get an error cause my device isn't cid unlock. that's why i'm asking for the actual factory rom of htc.

If you "Goldcard" or SuperCID the phone, you can flash ANY factory signed ROM, even the Dopod ROM. I did the same to my phone when I bricked it. Follow the steps closely and copy the RUU_Signed.nbh to the "Goldcard" as CACAIMG.nbh, insert the SD card, turn on the phone and enter bootloader.
hello again..
on the second stage you described:
"You will need a working Donor HTC device with a microSD slot and a microSD card that is smaller than 1GB (will be formatted) to create "goldcard" image using QMAT tools as described below "
maybe the problem is that i don't have a working htc donor device with the original software? the donor htc i have has cooked rom.. do i have to "goldcard" on an original software if the bricked htc isn't super cid?
cause i tried it again exactly as you say but i don't understand whats the problem..

It doesn't matter what OS, software, or device you use. As long as it's Windows Mobile. Cooked, factory, smoked, modded, doesn't matter. The point is to write the Goldcard image to the SD card. Thats all. nothing else matters.
ok.. i'll try again tomorrow and see if it works..
thanks for your patience..

Hi all,
How to upgrade rom via bootlaoader menu (after pressing the camera and hardreset)? If it's possible could you tell me which ROM i can use to upgrade a HTC advantage x7500/ATHENA-C9 with these info on bootloader menu:
ATHE100
IPL-v1. 00
ATHE100
SPL-v1. 07. 0000
Thanks for help!
Hi marius
I read your other post today and seeing no one else has replied , I will try to help you.
Have you tried a hard reset ?
If you have and had no luck , try to find an original shipped rom consistent with your spl and flash while in bootloader .
Don't try to flash any of the doctored roms, either spl 1.2 or 3.5 as you will not be able.
It is a long time since I have used the unlocker but I think if you read through the later posts , the authors used a wrapper program that requires an initial activesync connection to work.
I will look in here occasionally to see if you get it sorted or you can pm me if you have a question.
regards michael
Hello Lakeman,
if i write you it's because i read your reply below and i'm very happy.
1rst, i tried hard reset but it didn't work.
In fact, here is my story:
My HTC x7500 crashes after startup so i can't use it but when i tried to flash it i received the error 294:Invalid Vendor Id because i used the wrong ROM. where can i get it please?
Many thanks!
I asume you already read the Wiki, if not here it is!:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Athena
I´m sure it can help you a lot
Good luck,
hi all,
thank you orb3000, i read the wiki and i found in the ATHENA x7500 manual that it's possible to Upgrade OS through SD Card in bootloader menu but it seems like the download OS image link http://htcscm10.htc.com.tw/SDO is no longer available. Please could someone help me found it?
Thanks a lot!
Hi all,
i tried to upgrade my HTC x7500 via SD card using a .nbh file found in ap3.rar
but it didn't work. After enter in the bootloader, it displays "loading..." and "00068002" and after few seconds it's going back to the colored screen displaying the Rom version 1.07.0000
What does the "0068002" mean? i suppose it's an error code.
Please could somebody help me get a image file version earlier than 1.07.0000?
thnks!

Hi marius
I assume you read
[/QUOTE]
Rename the .NBH file to ATHEIMG.nbh and copy it to your miniSD card. Press camera+com manager+soft reset to bootloader and wait for reading ATHEIMG.nbh from SD. Remember, the miniSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem before copying the file ATHEIMG.nbh to your miniSD. After finished, do a soft reset.
[/QUOTE]
sometimes sd flashing wont work with an sdhc card
but in any case you have not unlocked the rom yet.
You need spl 1.2 to flash the ap3 rom
I cant remember if you are the guy trying to find a dutch rom but try and find an original rom for your athena and then flash that.
once it is working you can apply the unlocker and then flash any rom
Hi lakeman,
Unfortunately i can't use the spl 1.2 to unlock my HTC X7500 because it crashes just after startup (when displaying desktop) preventing me from using. Is there a possibility to use the spl 1.2 via the miniSD card? I'm not using the sdhc card.
Thanks for help!
hi again
youmust unlock the athena before flashing an spl1.2 rom
you can flash your original rom from the bootloader menu to get a working rom ,
once you have done this you can use the unlocker and then flash any 1.2rom
Hi,

Marius you need to get the original language rom that came with your athena
I don't know for sure but i think spl 1.07 is the dutch rom which is nowhere to be found at present
i suggest doing a search for this or contacting htc or the original supplier of your phone.
Alternatively post a request in xda but I would do it in the general section to get a wider audience
Hello,
Thanks Lakeman. I tried to get it from HTC Support in vain, as you recomended, i'll post a new thread on xda concerning the spl1.07 (my ROM language is English not dutch).

Have you tried flashing the dopod roms from here
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Athena/Shipped_Complete_Updates/
or does your machine have tmobile branding , in which case you could try the tmobile roms

Once you download a ROM , you have a " new Operating system " ... EG: if you buy a cakes from Tescos then take it back to ASDA.. asda will tell you to bog off... same with the ROM's ...
Each ROM works with the updates from who ever created it ... (via rom manager is best )
if you try and update a " rom " that was not on your phone originally .. you could end in loop... HTC hell...
but once you do ... like a famous crisp manufacturer said .. you just cant stop !!!

Sorry but what a load of ****. If you root and end up in a boot loop, just bloody go back to the recovery, wipe and flash. If your phone really buggers up, you can use an ruu to get it back to stock and hopefully working again.
Also, rom manager is ****. It is buggy and doesn't work well with the desire. Your best off manually downloading the rom, putting it on your SD card and then flashing it in recovery.

Hi. I've just managed to root and install oxygen on my orange 0.93 desire. Still simlocked though?
As far as I know, rooting had nothing to do with sim lock. Bit you can find a sim unlock utility for desire here.

Hi,
I have a serious problem and I could not fix it with anything I tried. Today I had the notification of the official 2.3 update for desire hd. I dowloaded it then the phone is stuck at the htc logo. I tried from bootloder to make factory reset recovery and also tried to flash some roms in fastboot mode.
None of them worked.
My first choice is to get back to 2.2 froyo, but I would like to hear recommendations about custom roms, especially if you have any rom advice wihch can increase battery life etc. I am not an expert in flashing roms however I can also consider for a custom rom in the light of your suggestions. Please help it would be much appreciated.
Regards...
is there anyone who as some comments??
Hello, that sounds rubbish Had you been running a custom ROM before? What network are you on?
got the same problem here too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14568001&postcount=12
thanks a lot but in this thread it says that it can not be downgraded if it is 2.37 or higher when i have tried to flash a rom i see that the it is currently 2.37.720.3.
Do you there might be also another way??
somebody please help, i am really stuck and can not find any solution, i started to think the phone will be brick. isnt there any suggestion...
and no one has tried the 2.36 RUU!? (stop trying the PD98IMG's off the SD)
i also tried to flash 2.36 up to 2.37 it also did not work....

Use the RUU and your pc to downgrade it to 2.36, it should work regardless of what you have on your phone.
first of all thanks for your comments.
let me tell you what i have done step by step.
ifound the rom below name specified.
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
i enter the bootlodaer because i can not get anywhere else. i plug in the usn then select "fastboot" and it show fastboot usb.
then i run the ruu from pc it starts to flash ( it shows current version 2.37.720.3 and will 2.36. etc. )
then black screen with white htc logo comes but nothing moves further and at the end i get the " Custome ID Error "
i do not know may be i am using the wrong rom if you can please provide another link to another rom or may be a different solution with a custom rom...
i am really stuck at this.
thanks in advance...

thanks for yor suggestion i will definetly try it and give results.
but please excuse my lack of knowledge, according to the instructions i have to use " gold card helper " via phone. my phone is now unusable. i have one android hd2 do you i can create the goldcard on hd2 according to the desire hd setting s and use it on desire hd????
thanks again...
i tried the godlcard solution but now it gave the error 140 bootloader version.
the only thing different than the steps it says chosee mmc2 value but on the goldcard helper i only saw mmc1 and i have sent the e-mail according to that...
what should i do?
does anyone has any suggestion??
since now the bootloader is pooched, you've pretty much bricked the device unless you can get your hands on the original ruu that your carrier uses.

So you have ClockWorkMod recovery. Now, Cyanogenmod is a ROM. It's the thing that replaces your current operating system. To install it, you put it on your sd-card, you boot in clockworkmod recovery, you backup your current ROM, you do a factory data reset+wipe cache+ wipe dalvik cache, then you select "Install zip from sd-card", then select the Cyanogenmod zip.
I usually don't respond to PM's because posting in a thread gives other people the opportunity to help, or learn from your mistakes.
Next time, post in a thread.
Thanks you.
