I am unsure if my treo 750 is bricked or not (its been in a drawer for a while since my wife failed an update and couldn't load it anymore). I can connect it to my computer and load activesync and browse the device but i cannot use the device. The screen always loads.
If i do a master reset by pressing power and reset i can go through the initial setup (time and screen) but when i click finish the screen just freezes there, it'll go off and i can press the power to turn it back on but i can't run any aps or select anything.
I tried just about everything to load the at&t 2.25 again, tried sd method as well as activsync. SD just stays at that loading screen where it says rom ok but the progress never moves from 0% left it there for an hour. The activesync method usually loses connection or sometimes i get the error "image file corrupted" i've tried re downloading the rom also tried on 2 different xp computers and then finally resort was a vista hoping maybe there is some good in vista but nope.
When i browse the device from windows i can see all the files on the device maybe some system files on the treo are missing not allowing it to complete the load?
Any help with this would be highly appreciated since me being not so bright decieded to jump into the swimming pool with my brand new moto q9h and now i am phoneless unless i can get this treo to work.
I have tried to do the palm repair and it doesn't work either.
I've also tried to use the CheetahUnlocker it says image file corrupted after 7% but it does do enough to get my device to load up out of the bootloader and into the setup procedures but no further it won't load any further after i select finish. I am able to press keys to turn the backlight back and am able to browse the device via pc though the device is frozen.
1. download this: http://palmone.r3h.net/downloads.palm.com/Treo750_2_25_ATT_EN_SDUpdater.zip and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1565080&postcount=1
2. Extract the contents of each ZIP to a new folder
3. Rename cheeimg.nbh from the updater extract to RUU_signed.nbh
4. Place the file KaiserCustomRUU.exe in the same folder with the file RUU_signed.nbh
5. Connect your device to USB and ensure you get active sync connection and can browse the device.
6. Execute KaiserCustomRUU.exe and follow the prompts.
Hope this helps...
thanks for the quick response i actually haven't tried renaming to signed but i have tried the kaisercustomromruu i will try renaming and post results tonight forgot my laptop case in the wifes car.
Tried that method still no success, the progress bar doesn't move from 0% and after about 3 minutes it says the communication error [262].
The bootloader starts up showing ipl 0.20 and spl 0.24.0000 if that means anything.
It seems like half the software is on the phone and the other half is missing and not allowing the phone to be functional after the initial setup procedures (time date and screen).
Is there a way to force a rom to install via SD card, whenever i try the SD method it doesn't progress from 0% as well.
I've actually found out the system files are not all on the pda the windows folder is only 2 mb it would be great if a pda could work like that but we know they don't. I have a backup of another treo 750 but can't transfer files directly since files are in use when i am browsing the pda i was wondering if there is a utility like mtty we can use to send files to the treo?
Or maybe if i can just copy a file directly on to the device and the file can do the update direct instead of the sd method since sd method isn't working either?
When i attempt a SD card update i get the following
SPLASH1 - OK
bOOTLOADER - OK
GSM -
MICROP -
EXTROM -
OS -
It pretty much hangs for the last 4 items, won't progress any further than bootloader OK.
Any ideas? maybe my sd reader isn't working properly? i've tried 3 different cards.

Use MTTY and do a "Task 2a" then flash any ROM you want.
yup tried that one as well for it runs the commands correctly but when i try to install the new rom the progress doesn't move i've left it along for an hour or so and no progress and when i attempt the sd method that fails as well. This ones left me stumped, i had a wizard and that thing was easy to fix if anything got corrupted.
This is what worked for me. I had the Tri-color and could not load anything via USB or SD. I used Mtty ver 1.42 while the boot screen was up on my Treo750. make sure active sync is disabled. The only settings to change are USB and Flow Control(RTC/CTS)
The commands I used came from
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
I used almost every code on the screen but these are the ones that worked for me
Set 16 0
set 14 0
set 32
set 28 55a
erase
checkimage <<< If you get bad blocks do the next cmd
task 2a <<< I think this is what really help me out
task 8
The screen went black some say white. I shut down Mtty unplugged the cable and did the SD cheetah.nbh install and it worked. I have tried it twice and it has worked. Yes I screwed my phone twice trying to use a Dutty rom.

Hey guys I have read all the articles on how to flash my fuze and I feel pretty confident in how I am doing it but I am having no luck on getting my fuze to flash the HardSPL. I am trying to use OliNex flash instructions. What is happening is that I have hooked my phone to a XP machine running Active Sync 4.5. I also made sure I had the .NET Framework 3.5 loaded. I run the RaphaelHardSPL-unsigned_190_1_3.exe. I follow the on screen instructions and then all of a sudden my phone goes black and you can here through Windows that the USB connection disconnects. The status bar on the computer stays at 0% and then after a few minutes it gives me a Error 262 Update Error and then starts the recovery process. My phone still works, but I can't seem to get it to flash. Any ideas?
Thanks

This is an error with the Custom RUU Wrapper.
Extract the .nbh file and load to the root of your storage card, search on "flashing spl from SD Card" for specifics.
I believe you rename it raphimg.nbh or something like that but I don't remember.
Enter bootloader and it will load from your card.
Hmm, I didnt know that HardSPL thingy can be execute inside microSD. I thought only ROM. Anyway, what OS you're using? I still have no luck with Vista or Windows 7 as they're keep on disconnecting USB. So until any fix on this, I keep my XP around

Bruce,
can you verify that this is possible to flash a SPL from SD card? If so I will try it right away.
Thanks
You can flash any .nbh file from bootloader.
Here is a brief instruction.
Also, for your PC issue, make sure you have netcf 3.5 installed.
Hello,
I have a big problem and I hope you can help me.
A few weeks ago I want to update my Treo to WM6.5 and use a Rom (I think from navenedrob) which was timebombed (since there I don't know it).
Now I want to update my Treo to the right version from this thead :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541417
but when I start the update with the cheathunlocker tool, it stops at 7%, the usb connection get lost and my Treo make a restart and the old bimebomed version is there...and the tool says, that the file is curuppted and i should check my update tool... but this message comes every time also with other roms.. When I use the method with the media button there comes the colored screen with "serial" and nothing happens.
(The sd card is okay and the same card which I use to install the timebombed version)
What should I do? I can't do anything... Please help me
1. format the card 32fat.
2. do not use hc card.
3. try to download again the rom.
4. if it does not help - try to install 6.0 rom from palm .
Hello
1. format the card 32fat.
2. do not use hc card.
3. try to download again the rom.
I tried this very often... But nothing helps
Where I can get this Rom? On the plam homepage I can't find a Rom, only instructions and a download for Mobile center.
http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar
For England (750V) :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PS2QHTE6
Oh really thank you for the Roms!
But I have a problem, my Treo dosn't connect to my Pc. When I click to my workplace there isn't a hhd from the Treo.. and the Mobile Center show me, that there i no connection... I have Windows 7, under Windows Vista it don't work too...
Because of that I can't update my Treo.
Do you know the problem and how to solve it?
Really big thank you, this here is a nice community where I get help!!
1. try to install from WINXP - look for another computer...
2. there is a way to get the rom from the file - maybe with winrar- I'm not sure but I remember something like it...
3. look for a rom 6.1 and try to install it from the card.
Okay I try it under Windows Xp, but I get no connection
I get the Rom from the .exe file by 7zip and copy it to the sd card, but the same problem is there at 7%
Do you have maybe am link from Wm6.1?
I think all this dosn't work.. I don't know what the problem is..
What other possibility can I try? There must be a solution for it...
a link to 6.1
http://www.mediafire.com/?4gxsdxh1tmm
maybe you need to replace your card...
Okay thank you.
I try it with an other card and hope it works..
But I think, that this don't work, because when I press the media button und reset, there comes the bootloader with "serial" on the bottom of the display and when I connect it to my pc "usb".. but I can't start the rom with this method...
I try it tomorrow and tell you if it works or not
the "serial" problem happened to me too. It was because bad rom file or bad card.
Okay today I try it with an other Card and 2 Roms (also the orginal Rom), but in the bootloader modus there is every time the "serial" and below..
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
PalmTr
SPL-0.24.0000
Serial
And when I try it with the cheetahunlocker, it stops at 7% and my Treo make a restart and the old timebombed version is loading..
But maybe my sd card slot is broken from my Treo or the sd card adapter...
because when I run the cheetahunlocker without an sd card, it also stops at 7%...
any idea to check this? Or an other way?
Hey I might have a solution here:
When you format the Mini SD card, do NOT do a quick format. Uncheck that box and do a full format, FAT32, Default Allocation Size.
This took over 15 minutes for me.
Do a scandisk (Right click the drive/tools/scandisk) and check "Fix Errors". This should ensure your SD card is in good shape.
Now copy a good ROM to the card and reset+PTT. The Palm should flash successfully now. If not your ROM may be corrupted.
Hope this helps! It worked for me!
1. Format sd card to fat32
2. find the .nbh file in the stock ROMS
3. rename it CHEEIMG.nbh
4. copy it to the sd (make sure it is not hcsd or it won't work)
5. insert the card in the card reader
6. reset the phone by using the stylus and the reset button next to the card reader, at the same time hold the PTT button on the left side of the phone, (this will put it bootloader mode)
7. when prompted, press the end talk button on the phone, this should start the update process without using activesync.
HardSpl
1. redownload the app and extract using 7zip
2. make sure you have .NET compact framework 3.5 installed on the PC and the phone
3. in CHEETAH unlocker press ctrl+2 and click the header (this will unlock all three options)
4. follow steps
The radio it flashes will not be a good one, so you need to search around to get the right one. Once those steps are complete, you should be able to reflash WM 6.5 without any problems. If you download Navendrob's ROM, you will need to download the arcsoft mms composer to make mms work, and you should be good to go.
Hi backspacepc,
thank you for your help!!!Now it works.. I didn't rename the file. so this was the problem
Hi,
I have a question about this rom. (Wm6.5 from naevendrob)
My touch is broken, so I can't use the touch. Now I have the problem, that I only end a call with touching "end" and not with the normal hang up button on my keybord.
My second problem is, that I can't lock my Treo, because when I want to unlock it, I have to use the touch display.. On Wm 6.1 I could turn my screen with the hang key on my keyboard off.. this is now on this Rom not possible, or do anybody have a solution for this? Maybe in the registry or something?
Thank you
Has nobody a anser?

Since your issue is with the ROM you loaded & your hardware problem, you should bring it up at the specific thread where you downloaded the ROM from.
I would recommend getting the touch screen fixed or roll back to WM6.0.
No it's a Problem with my Treo. I change the touchscreen one time and it works for a while, but after maybe 2 months the touch dosn't work.
Can anybody maybe write a file that i can use the hang up button to hang up without the touchscreen?Or has anyone an idea to change it maybe in the registy or sth. like that?

HardSPL the phone first, then it should work.
I am trying to switch over to Android from WM 6.5 on a HTC HD2 from T-Mobile. I've spent a lot of time reading about how to do this and deceided to give it a try.
I've been following guide by ThaDeanesta [GUIDE] Flashing Your First HD2 NAND Android Rom [For Newbs]:
1. Have radio 2.06.50.23 already installed.
2. Downloaded and installed HARDSPL 2.08.
3. Downloaded and installed MAGLDR 1.13. The aMAGLDR V1.13 Build: Feb 1, 2010 by Cotulla, starts up fine.
Here is where I'm having trouble. I downloaded "SuperRAM_Froyo_v1", extracted it to a folder. I have tried a number of things and hot sure where to go from here. Don't know if i should try a different RAM for my first attempt. I can see my MC in the phone thru USB MassStg. Tried copying folder to root and restarting phone. Just comes back to MAGLDR screen. Not sure if I'm doing this correct. I'm sure I am close to completing this for my first time but need a little help.
Thanks to anyone who is willing to help.

No, I unzipped it with jZip and then copied the folder to sd card. Then the instructions said to run CLACAD and haret from the phone. I was not sure how to do this. I just restarted my phone while holding down the volume and off. Connected my phone to the computer and ran the latest htc rom to get my phone working again. Phone has been down for a day. I still want to install Android. I'm not sure what CWR is?
Jack
Are you trying to install it from your SD card? Well..that's a different story then....go to your SD card root and tap on haret that should get you going
BTW ..
CWR =clock work recovery.
Thanks, I will give it a try. I wanted to load it thru the USB cable but couldn't figure out how to do it. From futher reading I think you can do it thru the bootloader.
Hi,
I have a 5" android tablet recently acquired through Amazon, and it appears to be completely brandless, so I have no idea who made it.
I rooted the device and changed the bootloader image using the app "Boot animations". It booted, then loaded the animation and gets stuck there. it cycles through this three times before giving up and booting into recovery. Once in recovery I have no way of selecting any option other than "Reboot system now" as the only hardware button on the device is the power button. there are no volume, home or menu buttons of any sort.
There is a reset button on the back which simply takes the slightest click and it reboots the device. neither this, the power button, or any sequence of the two together provide me with anything other than a reboot.
I Then tried installing SDK with platform-tools and the usb driver, I also downloaded the generic android usb driver from google, and i've tried running ADB to no avail, neither of them will see the device, and device manager does not show the device under "Other", it simply displays it as a mass storage device briefly while it runs through the attempted boot sequence before entering recovery where it no longer appears in device manager.
I have a new 64gb SD card for it which i have done nothing with, I'm hoping that maybe there's a way of using it given i have no hardware buttons?
Does anyone have any idea of how I can factory reset this device?
I'm desperate here and have researched every forum google has thrown at me over the last two weeks.
Many thanks
Jody
hello @jody-michael
I don't know if there is a way to fix the problem.
Please see this post. If there is adequate time to change the boot animation file bwfore the device reboots, maybe it can help you.
Are there details of the device model under its battery?
Have a great day
Hello @yairku
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I stupidly didn't turn usb debugging on, so when it does briefly show up as mass storage, I can't actually access the storage, so can't access or change the bootloader files.
The other issue is its a sealed unit so I can't access the battery either. If anything I could do with some kind of clever windows app that can see the device and run a factory reset bypassing the debugging mode as it's not activated.
Hi @jody-michael
If the device has an mtk chipset, it might be possible to use sp flash tool to get the firmware from the device, edit it and flash it.
To use sp flash tool, a scatter file is needed.
I found this tutorial that shows how to create a scatter file.
I hope that It will be possible to replace the boot animation that causes the problem, with a good one.
If you are willing to try to create the scatter file, please let me know and I might be able to help you with it. I understand the steps of the tutorial.
Good day
There should be written something on the back of the tablet. Something more than just a serial. try to post a photograph. Once the device is identified, look for a ROM in an update.zip format. Copy the update.zip into the root directory of a sd card, turn device off, apply sd card and turn the device on. Hopefully, it will discover the update on the sd card and install it.
Best wishes...
Unfortunately sp flash tool doesn't see the device either. I've persisted with driver installs etc. I haven't been able to get the existing scatter file read or figure out where to get one for my device.

Thanks JoachimP,
I like this idea, however I don't know what rom to use. As you can see in the attached images, there's no indication of manufacturer name, model, serial or anything. All I have is its a 5 inch brick right now

Hi, look at your 1st picture: CIOtCUD is the hint to the topic you should google for. Look at http://www.mastfun4u.com/2015/09/find-all-china-tablet-flashing-file.html, maybe this is helpful.
