T-Mobile Vario Unlocked and using Orange! Now to flash ROM? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hi,
Thanks to the very clever people over at www.imei-check.co.uk I now have an unlocked T-Mobile Vario.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
I now wish to know if I can flash my unlocked Wizard with an Imate K-Jam2 flash?
I know there is another post on flashing the the Qtek 9100 with the K-Jam but I dont know if the T-Mobile Vario will pose any different issues or problems.
What I want to know is :-
1) Can it be done, can I flash my T-Mobile Vario with a K-Jam2 ROM?
2) How do I make a backup of my T-Mobile ROM before taking the plunge?
I am a Sony Ericsson P900 convert so please be gentle with me on your responses. I'm no expert but have got this far (Unlocked) by reading these and other forums.
If any of you can help out I would be most gratefull.
Cheers
Lee

I have (had) a Vario from T-Mobile Netherlands. I unlocked like you and ran the ROM upgrade utility for Qtek 9100, available for download on :-
http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/
It works fine. My Dutch phone now talks to me in English.... phew!

@belgilux
What are the advanges of the qtek rom over the vario ??

Niets dat ik kan bespeuren. Enkel is ding dat zijn in WWE - wereld Wijde Engels - dit is good voor mij aangezien mijn Nederlands niet zo goed is. ..

ok thanks ,
mijn nederlands is goed , dus hou hem liever in nederlands

Hey, guys, I have the same problem - I want to change the OS from a german to en english one. My device is the XDA Mini S from O2 Germany. Do I *really* need to pay for unlocking first or I can just flash it?
P.S. How did you back up the ROM before the flashing?

hello ingenious ,
as far as i know , you have to unlock it first otherwise you can't acces the bootloader.
buckup of your old rom can be done (only after unlocking).
you need the program romupdate.exe
disable activesync on usb connection
turn off phone
connect usb cable while pressing camera button
start romupdate
chooice usb connection
enter 'r2sd all' this coppies your phone rom to your sd card (sd card will be erased !!!!!)
next step is to dump the sd card to file to store.
you need ntrw.exe and sd card reader
in a dos box in a dir with ntrw enter 'ntrw read dump.nb1 drive_letter_of_reader:'
that will dump you entire sd card to file.
to restore , but it back with ntrw write .......
reset phone while holding voice an camera button and chooise restore from sd card.
good luck , arnold
p.s. i'm wrinting this out of my memory so forgive me if i have something wrong.

Hey, thanks very much
Just a thing bothers me still... If I unlock the phone (i.e. replace the boot loader) won't I just lose my warranty from O2?

mhh that doesn't worry me to much,
officiali it will only void your warrnaty if they can proof that that is the problem.
if not they can not hold it against you (in holland that is) , but you may have to 'fight' for your warranty.

I have successfully replaced the ROM on my MDA Vario with a K-Jam ROM and now I want to go back to the original ROM. Following the instructions by arnoldl earlier in this thread I created a backup dump.nb1 file and used ntrw_189.exe in a CMD window to dump this to a file. This took bloomin' ages since I have a 1GB card - very tiresome!
Anyway, I have now reversed that process to copy the dump file back to the mini-SD card but when I hard reset my Vario I do not get a prompt to restore from the SD card. I only have options to restore to original settings or cancel.
I have allowed a hard reset to complete and the mini-SD card does not even register in the Vario. Removing and reinserting does nothing. I've tried a hard reset twice and still no joy.
Assuming I have successfully created a working ROM image on my mini-SD card are there any other tips or options for restoring it to the Vario ROM?

anyone knows the keys to press for restore an image from sd card ?
I have tried all combinatiosn of keys, but nothing are working
regards

sorry , it is hold camera and voice comm button while resetting.
previes state must be on!!
grtx arnold

Thanks for that. I just realised it says hold camera and voice comm rather than comms and voice comm, like you would normally do for a hard reset.
I've tried a boot with the correct buttons and could see nothing at all on the screen. I now realise there is something but without a backlight it is nigh on impossible to see. Anyway, I spotted that too late and started button mashing to try to get the thing to spring into life. It is now staring at me with a big clear white (lit) screen that dims briefly periodically. I now have no idea what is going on and whether this is the correct behaviour or not.
How long should the reflash take? Will having a 1GB card mean it takes 8 times as long as a 128MB card as it has to read the whole thing? How do I know if this is working OK?There are no progress bars or anything - just a plain white screen.

i did say comm and voice , but i just changed that
reflash was prety fast when i did it , within a minute i thought (256mb)

Oh dear :-( Mine's been blinking at me for 15 minutes now.
I just restarted the process and I managed to see a "Format BinFS Success" message and a progress bar at the bottom which I think said "Upload OS" or something like that - too difficult to read properly in today's miserable grey daylight. But I'm now staring at the plain white screen once more.
Maybe my ROM image is fried. Any ideas how to get hold of a clean T-Mobile UK MDA Vario ROM file?
EDIT : Further info......
Bored of the blank white screen I pressed the reset button on its own. The device reset and this time with the benefit of the backlight being on I could see the Format BinFS success message, a couple of checksum checks and something about downloading ROM and extended ROM. This all took only a minute or two, which seems positive. But then I saw a message about formatting FAT (or FAT32?) and while that was being displayed the screen faded/disolved to plain white and has resumed its periodic dimming.
Unfortunately I now have HTC Innovation and imate branding all over the thing so I can't just pop it back to T-Mobile to fix it. I wish they had a full ROM upgrade/replace image in a .exe, like qtek and imate.

hello,
what means "previes state must be on!! "
i have an 512 mb card and no chance to boot the sd. Has anyone
try the qtek german bin on the xda ftp server here ? i write this
image via ntrw on my 512 mb card, press the camera and voice button and also reset, but the sd card want recognize ...
help! I want this german qtek rom on my wizard.
regards

i only got in this mode when resetting with the buttons pressed when phone was on.
when i first shut it down and then reset it didn't work.
grtx

Having left the white screen for a couple of hours there is no sign of anything useful happening. I reset the device and now I am dumped directly to the bootloader screen - there seems to be no software on the device now.
So it appears I can only get this thing up and running again with the k-jam ROM (or presumably Qtek) by running the .exe ROM upgrade file. But for me my option to go back to native Vario software seems to have vanished forever. Maybe I'm just really unlucky but this might serve as a warning/caution for others who want to flash their Vario.

Splash screen freezing -> SOLUTION !!! DIY

Damn... I walked around and around and solution was all near me and able to do it myself...
Ok here´s how I done it.
First, I must explain what was the problem.
After update the firmware (not actually upgrade, I had the phone full of trash, so I decided to reflash same firmware v2.18 PTG), the Qtek 9100 / HTC Wizard freezed at 2nd splash screen (the one that shows OS versions IPL version, ect). Tried many different versions, upgraded to 2.24, 2.25, downgraded even to 1.6.7.3, but always same problem, freezed on second splash screen. I read many topics on xda-dev, and seen some people with same problem. Apparently there was 2 solutions. 1- send phone back to warranty. 2- write backup ROM from SD in bootloader.
Passed more then 15 hours asking for this SD backup everywhere, and COULDN´T find any help. Apparently no one had this "SD dump ROM Backup".
So here´s how I solved my problem
1- I tought that a SD backup was needed, and yes it is. But u can use your own phone and your own SD to do it.
2- Get a clean SD card (in qtek 9100 / Htc Wizard case is MiniSD) with 128MB (some people say 64MB, but I personally used a 128MB, maybe a 64MB is enough)
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.
4- Get your phone in bootloader mode. Like this : Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter in bootloader mode (RGB screen).
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
6- Type "r2sd all" and hit enter... wait to the end (at end shows "cmd>"). On your phone screen u can follow backup progress... small bar will appear down the RGB screen.
7- Power off the phone (or remove battery), enter bootloader mode (camera button + power on) and this time RGB won´t appear right away. Will ask if u want to "download SD image", press voice dial button to agree, and writting will begin. Wait to the end. Power off and power on normally. Now your phone should be working ok. Not even needed to reflash the phone after this.
Thanks to all and hope this helps more people with this problem
I can get the MDA in a bootloader mode with the RGB screen but I can't figure out how to get the SD Image Boot. When I open updateROM, it only gives me the seletion of COM1 and COM3. I can't gete any farther, help plz. i really want to use my MDA
Adam
Adam, you missed a step
Kill wescomm.exe as described in step 3 and you will be able to access via USB.
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.

CID unlock?
I believe that your phones aren't CID unlocked.
I think that only CID unlocked phones or inputing the BOOTLOADER password will allow to backup wizard to SD card
I've got the exact same problem, phone freezes at splash screen. Now I backed up a rom from a working cid-unlocked wizard, but after I tried loading it on my wizard it says 'don't allow update'. So what can I do now?
Awesome solution! My MDA vario is back from the dead!
Thank you for sharing this great solution with us
Thanks my phone is back!, now how can I get to use tha card again? I dont have a card reader for my pc, just the phone. Is ther something that I can use, because my device dont get any storage Card.

I was forced to buy a multi-card reader to get my card back Fortunately that they are so cheap these days (less than 12€ for 31 diff cards)
Funny thing is that after formatting the card in Win2k the phone still asks if i wish to restore image when entering bootloader mode
cheers
hi
did you slove this your problem ?
i also got the same error
It stoppped asking to restore image when entering bootloader mode maybe because i've been using the card in normal PPC operations and the "r2sdall" area must have been overwritten
Yes, data remain at SD card. Probably need to insert in SD card reader and format under windows system.
About the errors while reading the data to SD, I remind, to try in a fully clean SD card (formatted completly), and yes, might require that your phone be CID unlocked, but that part can also be done easily.
The data that is written on the SD will remain hidden, and are like system files. That´s why no one can share the needed files over the internet or download somewhere. Because can´t get the files out of there. However, if u seen in your file explorer in your phone some file might appear on card root. But also not sure if can copy it from there and later apply on a card and do this procedure.

Hello I think there is no way to restore a Sd backup on CID locked device.
I think the only possibility is to unlock CID with Imeicheck site (the process begin in bootloader mode) and then restore Sd image.

Upgrade without USB-connection

Hei all.
After reading through the forums hour after hour I finally give up
I got my german O2 XDA Mini s here
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.21
GSM 02.19.11
OS 2.21.4.2
I want to up/downgrade to the Qtek 2.18 NOR ROM. But the big Problem is that if I connect to PDA to my laptop via USB it is not recognized?! Also on a other laptop it didn't work, although it worked earlier. Even a hard reset couldn't help it.
Second thin I read is that Wizards with SPL/IPL 2.21 or higher can't be flashed with a other ROM then a Provider update.
But now I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043 were it is made possible. I made my new ROM image. Now I only need to bring it on my miniSD Card und make the XDA load it from there. And that's my problem. How do I make a "bootable" SD Card und make the XDA a boot from there? I only found I manual for the Magician....
Would be great if someone could help me!!!
Good morning
New Day, new chance. Anybody with an idea?
press and hold down the Camera button then jab the Reset hole will bring the device into Bootloader mode, connect to your Laptop and have a try.
for reflash from a SD card containing rom image, press and hold down the Camera and VoiceDial key simultaneously, jab once the Reset hole, then, release the Camera key FIRST, keep VoiceDial pressed until sth like below showing on the PPC screen:
[FONT=宋体]Restore ALL image from SD[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]Press Voice Dial Key[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]Download SD image?[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]this procedure is worked for my qtek9100, although both qtek9100 and o2xdaminis are both "Wizard", i have no idea whether it should work, just give a try and god bless.[/FONT]
what files need to be on the SD card? Do they need to named something special for the wizard?
there's no "files" on the SD card, i said, it's only "rom-image".

I'm nearly there
No the only problem left is to prepare the bootable SD-Card. If wanted to use the XDAtools http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=219261&page=7&highlight=create+rom+image
If I didn't missunderstand it, this should solve my problem. But when I give my nk.nbf made in the first thread as a input file the XDA OS Image Tool tells me that it is an unsupported file format and it doesn't know how to open it
I just unpacked the Tools and registered them. Is there anything mor I have to do to make me a SD-image?
Ok, nex step. When I go into the Bootloader, i get an USB connection. Hell knows we not in normal mode :-/
But this forum is just too big I couldn't find a way to get a new ROM to my Wizard in this way...

From here you can run the Rom Update Utility on your PC and it will flash your device.
Ok, that easy? But it doesn't work :-(
I get the connection, tested it with a terminal, it is realy connected.
- When I use the RUU from risidoro (see my first post up here) I get ERROR [300] STRUMENTO DI AGGIORNAMENTO NON VALIDO. I'd guess that means something me device is not valid???
- If I want to flash with RUU_Prodigy_2180704_21807104_20710_QTEK_NOR_Ship.exe it also connects and all that stuff, but then it told me my nbf file is too old. (I got SPL/IPL 2.21 ) ERROR [296]
- If I extract this RUU manually and replace the nbf with the one handmade, and start ROMUpdateUtility.exe I get ERROR [238], can't open the file.
Search for this file 'ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe'
It will think that your phone has Rom version 1.2 on it and thus will allow you to flash any Rom image.
yeah, thats what I tried first and got ERROR [300] and this Italian Error message
I would be very interested in this since my USB connector broke. Hope you find the answer for this. Anyways, I was able to do an upgrade of OS and downgrade it using awizard via BT connection in my CID locked phone.
How did you do that?? Because if I try to update via Bluetooth I always get Errors :-/
BT update
Well, actually I did a backup of everything using Awizard (via USB when my connector was working) and then I updated just the OS using some tools. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088&start=0. Then I rename the extension to nba so awizard can read it and then used awizard to update only the OS. This was all with USB cable. Then my toddler got a hold of my phone while charging and broke the USB connector.
Got sick of the 3.2 rom then took the risk of downgrading to my old OS via awizard using BLUETOOTH. It took some time to update and have to make sure my phone don't turn off during update. Anyways, now I have the 2.26 OS back.

Mda II Compact boot failture!

Hello gays!
I hav a problem with my Mda.
In my mda was windows 05 and i want to upgrade to 06
And im download rom from thiece site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305125
And i Upgrade rom thiece method :
ANOTHER FLASH METHOD :
If you have the chinese WM6 rom, downgrade to some WM5 with official RUU, then:
download this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/29098553...fixed.zip.html
Once you unpack it, please put the nk.nbf (charmer wm6) into the Shelltool folder. Open shelltool.exe. Click Get Rom info, then click Extract OS. Wait until its finished and you'll receive a file called 8004000-OS.nb (save it for later).
Download the xbeta Chinese WM6 rom : http://rapidshare.com/files/27671349...eta.exe. html
Extract it and put that 8004000.OS you saved before in the XBETA directory. In the itsutils folder of xbeta rom you will find enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab. Copy them to your device, install them on Device Memory, then soft reset.
run xbeta.cmd and choose the 8004000OS.nb file to flash (you should be connected with AS and have your radio module turned off).
When the screen goes green and the flashing is finished make a HARD RESET!. Press Camera and Voice Dail buttons (hold them). Put and hold the stylus in reset button for 2 seconds. Release it. Wait until you see some white fonts on black screen. Then release those 2 buttons. Push the green dial button.
I choose thiece method becouse the first method in the rom subject doesnt work.
But after im instal new rom i have Era rom and when im complete upgrading to wm6 the phone is restart and im see era splash screen and its strange for me :/
So the problem is it is in startup screen showin Era splash screen and he STOP! i tried to hard reset but it gives fat partition error.
Please HElp me!
sounds like your device is CID locked at the time you flash it.. which gives you the same splash screen. However, the fat partition error (I presume it said format fail), is a big problem that AFAIK, it has no solution.
What you can do (at least) now is to put your phone in to bootloader mode and flash it (check the wiki, I think there is a section on this).
I turn on boot loader and i upgrade to another rom Era name and still thiece same Can you give me link with rom ?? to my phone ? Yes i dont unlock the cid
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
Now i download my Net is so slowly :d when im download and upgrade i write and good luck to me ;]
Rom t mobile Doesnt work. Other minds?? But the splash screen is T mobile ;]
ipl 2. 06
spl 2.06. 0000
gsm 02.19.21
os 2.6.2.27
meybe Rescue Rom like i wizard ?? do you now where i can find it??
the splash screen indicated that it has already flashed, but, as I've mentioned above, the partition failure are more complicated than that and may not be fixable yourself. I can't help anymore now, you can try to find some other solution. Good luck.
How to unlock cid ?? can you tell me what i hawe g 3 or g 4
at the top section of this screen, there is this "XDA-Wiki", go in to the 'Wizard' section. G3 G4 CID unlock info is there.

""Splash screen freezing -> SOLUTION !!! DIY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn... I walked around and around and solution was all near me and able to do it myself...
Ok here´s how I done it.

All seemed to go ok, following step by step as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39129&d=1179243687 and I got to the end step with ‘Congratulations’. I had no error messages. However upon hard reset I got the message: FORMAT FAT PARTITION, FORMAT IS FAILED (oops!)
The screen then showed the same details as before, but with OS now 10.2.0.8.
I’ve done some searching on the Forums & tried restoring the phone via bootloader using both “MDAc2_ROM_Johnnnnnnnnnny_v1.0” (stalls at 99%) and “RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship” (this completes 100% & reverts the OS to 1.12.2.23, but I get the same FORMAT IS FAILED message).
Any further suggestions how I can revert to the original state, or update to WM6?
(My wife has an MDA II as well – I’ve checked my battery in her phone & it is fully charged).
PS Ignore the details at the bottom - I also have an MDA COMPACT (I)
Chameleon846: if you read carefully, you would know that you need at least bootloader in ver. 2.x to flash WM6. And seeing you have 1.x, no wonder it didnt flash poperly. GO find an official HTC Prophet rom and flash it with RUU. It will help.
no problem with this, this happen time after time on every ppc, it's random flashing error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307332
please, read forums before asking, this was mentioned many times...
vlodeck, thanks. A little knowledge... I stupidly missed the 2.x bit...
I've tried the RUU method with an official ROM. It completes all 100%, but will not go any further. I've seen bits about a restore from an SD card, but can't find the exact method (copying the nk.nbf file to SD & running bootloader doesn't do anything. If I manage to sort this am I able to upgrade the bootloader to 2.x?
Thanks.
Chameleon: not charmer official ROM. Prophet ROM!

Think I have killed my dad's phone !! HELP

Was updating my dads SPV M700 to WM6 and have hit a problem ....
The rom image updated ok, and I used AX3L's 2.0.8.
Unfortunately during the GSM update the software crashed, and froze at 51%. I had to re-boot and now I can't use the phone.
When I re-set the phone it says No GSM at the HTC screen and then stops loading at the WM6 front page.
I can get into the Bootloader by pressing the Power/Camera/Reset buttons, but when I try to re-flash GSM is says error 270, corrupt image. I have tried several files with no luck.
I would appreciate a hand ..... My dad is going to kill me
Thanks
gaz_az
try press
power button + camera + reset
to enter usb mode
then reflash the radio again.
hope this works
You can try 2 other things!
Download the Radio ROM again- you may have had a downlaod glitch in the 1st one. V1.38 is the best one to try.
Download and install the offical HTC WM5 ROM- this should be a full ROM including Radio, so sometimes completes more effectively. If you are brave, you can them retry the WM6 flash!
since bricking a hermes i stopped taking chances doing rom upgrades via usb..
the method that is most reliable ad safe is... via SD card
extract RUU_signed file from the upgrade pack (use winrar) and then copy it to the root of a blank sd (mini or micro etc) and rename to TRINIMG.nbh ..enter bootloader and follow the steps.. its fast and most reliable
Ok - Thanks for the help, but no luck so far. I have tried the suggestions above !
Heres what I have done ...
Hard reset - no change
Tried to re-flash with WM6 and WM5 cooked roms, but an error comes up saying the images are corrupt. This happens with any image I try.
I have also tried a legit HTC WM5 rom upgrade image, but it doesn't work either. It gives an error at 1% saying invalid device ID.
What I can do it get into the standard bootloader screen, which shows I have a USB connection when plugged in. If I allow the phone to boot up it stops at the WM6.0 picture. It won't go far enough to allow me to get an activesync connection.
ANy more adivice would be greatly appreciated !

Next thing then, is to try and obtain a downloaded Orange M700 ROM- there are a few links hereabouts.
For some reason, your device seems to want only its home ROM. If that fails there are other methods before sending back to Orange!
I downloaded an Orange rom, but still no luck. It gets to 1% again, then says there is a error/corrupt image file. Same as any of other cooked images !
What next ??
well if you were my son, i would advice you,to buy a plane ticket for somewhere very far,leave the house while i sleep,and pray every day you have left in your life,for not find you on my way
uhm, question about boot loader and flash on boot loader mode.
I copy file TRINIMG.nbh to root card mini SD, and i can't go as you say...
always Tri colors screen....

You are running out of options
Your choices now are to go further down the 'fiddling' route, or give up and return the phone to Orange for repair. At least if its is stuck in bootloader, they may not spot that you have been meddling
If you want to play more, there are very few Trinity specific fixes, but possibly some of the questions/answers in the Hermes WiKi may help, though the Bootloader versions etc won't be relevant.
[Edit: When you are in Bootloader mode, what version numbers are showing on the screen?]
is it so wrong i was smiling when i read this.
does make me wonder if u told ur dad what u were going to do or whether u were trying to be cocky by giving him a better phone without him knowing.
all i can say is, UNLUCKY !
I must say things are looking bad - I think it would take an original orange SPV rom if I could get one. Been to the orange website, but no luck !! Anyone know if orange released one ??
Been looking at the Hermes unbrick thread. Is there a way to enter KITL debug mode in the trinity ??
G
P.S. Dad knew I was upgrading the phone, already did it once for him and it went ok. No sure he knew I could acutually kill it
No Orange haven't released an official rom.
Well Orange UK haven't Orange FR have, so unless he speaks and reads french that's not an option.
Well, French or not, you've probably got nothing to lose by trying to load the official French ROM
Go Here and click the Mise-a-jour link (which is French for ROM) and it will open a zip file download without the need to verify the IMEI number.
If that doesn't work, nothing will! If it does load, you will at least have a working phone, even if it is in French, and you can go back over the ROM update again, remembering to apply the SPL Bootloader first!
Still "not allow", i don't know what the hell Orange was doing with P3600?
Lock everything?........it's suck !!!
No luck with the French ROM. Same thing gives an error message about wrong device ID.
I am one step from chucking it in the bin. Any more last minute ideas ??
erh, bizzard,i can't use "wtty.exe" to view my CID ...
i tape "info 2"and it always appear
Cmd>info 2
CID: Wait interpreter timeout
HTCSF kEØ(HTCE
Cmd>
...............................
Someone have issue for that?
If i can view CID code,i think i can find the right ROM to re-vivre...all suck !!!
erh, hey guy, your boot loader is english or french? sorry if it's the most stupid question of the day......i think french device use french boot loader,right?
i mean, when screen tri-color appear, use mini SD card to flash ROM, the language it apprear itself is english or french.
p/s : i was telephone to the HTC center, and they say as usual, send it to the center repair.
For french user address is : be sure u have enough garanty which required.
send them and make them crazy.....

Treo 750 dead after flashing wrong rom

I was mistakenly copy the wrong rom into the SD card and run the cheetah unlocker - it starts to flash the rom. After that the TREO750 is dead and soft & hard reset will not help.
I can only go into the bootloader with 3 color screen. Pressing PTT and reset button.
Anything i can do to make this TREO750 work again ?

If you can access the tri-color bootloader screen, then your Treo 750 is NOT dead.
The ROM is bad or wiped but the bootloader is good...that is sufficient for you to flash a good ROM & get it up & running.
What do you see on the bootloader screen?
Which ROM did you copy into the mini-SD card?
You could copy the .nbh file from the original WM6 ROM Upgrade package & change it to CHEEIMG.nbh into a freshly formatted (FAT32) mini-SD card & flash using the mini-SD card method.
thanks konker. I finally figure out the way to flash it with original ROM.

Great! I'm glad you got your phone working again.

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem and I need urgent help please. I have ATT 750 unlocked and I'm outside the States now. My Treo was 6.0 then I upgrade it to 6.1 so far so good.
Then I saw a custom rom that I thought it was interesting. the custom rom was for HTC Dimond I think. without paying too much attention. I started the upgrade. It went 70% before the upgrade crashed.
Now my Treo is not responding to anything. I have the original ATT 6.0 SD upgrade and I have the 6.1 lite upgrade. I'm using CheetahUnlocker to flash the SPL (that is working) but when I try to install the 6.0 or 6.1 using Kaiser Custom RUU v1 it crash.
I saw the post above that suggest to place the original 6.0 on a freshly formated SD and install from there. that is not working either. when I try to install the software it goes into these steps before it crashes: btw, I have the tri-color bar and it has the following info:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
SPL-1.40.01iNex
while update in progress i see the following:
CHEEIMG.nbh
SPLASH1 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - Fail
OS -
After the crash I get this msg: "Update Terminate Update Failed"
Any suggestion please? need more info? then let me know
Thanks in advance
Sam
Any answer
Hello Sam,
I actually had the same problem, did you get it fixed?
Please let me know, how?
Thanks a lot
Same problem here
In the 3 colored screen just displays this.
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.21.0000
When i insert the freshly Fat32 formatted SD card with the rom , apears "loading" for about 2 seconds and then just ends with the tricolored display.
Thanks for any advice.

You need to run Hard SPL first before flashing any ROM.
Your display would look like safisam's if you had run Hard SPL. (SPL-1.40.01iNex)

Have you tried re-downloading the ROM in case you have a bad file? Also, have you tried a different SD card, or re-formatting the SD card you are using? Sometimes that will help, and make sure the CHEIMG file is the only file on the SD card.

Hi all
I have the same problem, after some progress during the update it stops and now I can see just the Palm logo inicialyzing...
I stil can get the Bootloader Screen (3 collors), but when I try to pass other ROM It says "file image corrupted"...

First of all, please indicate which ROM you loaded on your device.
Secondly, it would help the community to help you if you could state what software modifications you've performed on the phone. eg. HardSPL etc
Lastly, a list of installed software on your phone would be useful too.

From your description, it seems both of them are original stock ROM. Is your Treo a telco branded model or a unbranded unlocked model?
If the latter, you did not have to run the other utilities to unlock the phone...just flash the ROM.
I see that you ran the ExtROM unlocker...why did you have to do that?
The ExtROM is used to store device specific ROM customization that you should not have to bother too much if your ROM is a unbranded ROM (ie. not AT&T ROM etc).
If you left the ExtROM in it's unhidden state, that could be why the system is reporting the amount of free space to be so low. You should hide the ExtROM & then hard-reset the device again to see if that solves the problem.
