please if you have a english pocketpc running on your phone and you have a serial kable
this will only take 5 minutes !
please dump the rum doing the following
Here is the steps to backup the ROM to a file:
1. Connect via Serial cable to XDA II
2. Put XDA II into Bootloader Mode (power button+any direction+reset)
2b. get HyperTerminal Private Edition ftp://ftp.hilgraeve.com/htpe/htpe63.exe
3. Run Hyper Terminal 115200 baud, 8n1, direct to com port.
4. Issue d2s command to backup ROM to SD. You'll need an empty SD card with 64Mb or more size (i used 128)
5. Once the ROM is dumped, reset your XDA.
6. Put the SD card to your card reader.
7. Use ntrw (http://home.comcast.net/~kenzhao8/downloads.htm, it is in cfutils.zip):
ntrw read test.nb1 m:
This assumes your SD card has drive letter M:
8. Copy the nb1 rom file to a zip and post it to a site.
Then we can download the ROM, unzip, use ntrw to write back to SD and go into bootloader mode with SD card inserted, hit camera button and flash our MDA II to english rom.
thanks to PalMop for the info
Update, I got a copy of the English ROM !!! It was dumped via pmemdump (http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html) using:
osimage: 'pmemdump 0x80040000 0x01fc0000 osimage.nb1'
bootloader: 'pmemdump 0x80000000 0x00040000 bootloader.nb0'
I am still trying to figure out how to dump this image to SD. My ntrw.exe method above works, if you created the SD via serial. The pmemdump method uses ActiveSync and USB cable, so it is easier to create the file. But we don't know how to put it onto SD yet.
So if anyone wants the English ROM created by pmemdump, pm me where to upload (or German one as well)
Have you tried XDA OS Image Tool from http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/?
Guys and gals, I now have a English MDA II. Special thanks goes to Willem and KullTogi for their help.
I compare my original ROM and the English ROM dumped by pmemdump. First 412 bytes were missing. So I added that, removed last 412 bytes, copied the file to SD via ntrw and it works.
I have the patched file and the ntrw.exe for anyone wanting it. If anyone can open a FTP to host, I can upload there for everyone's use.
One note, after upgrade, the checksum will fail at the end of process. But don't worry.
Awesome!!! I want it.
Palmop:
How big is the file you need to upload? I want to get my hands on the english ROM!!!
Thanks,
Fernando
File is 16Mb. It is being uploaded to a FTP site , Akira will provide details shortly
strange for an rom to be 16 mb
thought ppc2003 was 32 at least
I said file is, not rom is , there is the good old zip compression. If anyone can arrange FTP access, I can upload it there. I have no access to a FTP server, I am looking to setup one.
PalMop
i just mailed you a new one
Please post the ftp site here...
for those of us itching to download. Thanks !!!
Fernando
I have an FTP site that can host this.
Palmop:
I can host it here:
ftp://www.shawus.com
username: hydrosphere
password: 12345
Please upload it there and post a message here when its done.
Thanks!!!

http://www.vogtschmidtoutdoorcenter...h ROM by PalMop/xdaii-usa-rom-1-03-palmop.zip
ill leave it for 48 hours
note: it did not work for me
when i put it in booloader, and pres camera it says
SD DOWNLOAD
Section=1
Not allow update!
**update :
did same as palmop
downloaded my down rom, and hexedited it, copyd the header part
replaced it in the new rom
tried again and worked
It said on my 2 devices:
SD DOWNLOAD
Section=1
Press Power to download
(or something similar, I hit the power button and update is done)
My file I sent to you via FTP was already patched (the first 412 bytes), weird
it failed
Upload to Orinoco's FTP is complete as well
Steb-by-Step Instructions?
Akira and Palmop:
Would it be too much to ask a step-by-step to get this done properly. I want to do it, but am afraid to screw up my new device. Thanks in advance for all your efforts.
Fernando
It was in the text file (how to.txt), inside the ZIP I uploaded
Here it is:
1. Extract the files to a folder.
2. Put 64Mb or larger SD to SD card reader.
3. Go to command prompt, switch to the folder from step 1.
4. Type:
Ntrw write 1-03-00-USA-xdaii-patched.nb1 g:
(assuming SD card reader has drive letter g:, change accordingly)
5. Once copying is finished, wait a minute, get the SD out, insert into MDA II, select Nein if it wants to format the card.
6. Go to Bootloader mode (power + direction + reset), hit Camera button couple of times
7. When it asks to press power button to flash, do so.
8. It will flash the rom, at the end there will be a checksum error, that is normal as the bootloader has not been changed.
9. Reset.
10. Device is ready to use.
it worked !
problem is , everybody needs to implant their own header, i think its header sensitive.
ik used a hex editor and deleted the first 420 bytes
not that word part that you see in the file. first time i also selected the word part at the end of the header.
and then copied the header from my own rom
and placed it their
now it works
Hi all !
I dumped my original ROM (German) from XDA2 and read with 'ntrw' but the file size is 128.450.560 bytes.
Something wrong ? Or what ?
THX any replay
I have installed ROM ver 4.01.16 in to my MDA1 and now I'm not able to install any other. It is not possible to establish connection fo ROM installing. ActiveSync connection is OK.
Can anyone help me?
use xdatools to flash your device using the SD card method
Also doesnt work. Writes: "Unable to open WinCE file. Could not connect to itsutils.dll.
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

Try checking the treo wiki and read through everything before trying to perform the rom upgrade. Remember that a simple mistake can and might render your device useless.

"Insert the reader w/card into your USB, after the PC recognizes the card right click on the drive letter. Select Format from the options and make sure FAT32 is selected as the file system then select start.
Also, you need to copy the files to the memory card one at a time; DIAG file first and then delete the DIAG prior to loading the IMG file second.
Step 1:
-Copy the ‘CheeDIAG.nbh’ file to the root directory of a miniSD card. Note: Windows Mobile recognizes updates only from FAT32 formatted cards.
-Insert the card into the device.
-Press and hold both the PTTApp Button (lowest button on left side of device) + Pin Reset (next to miniSD card slot). You will be prompted to press the ‘End’ (red power) key to start the update. This step takes only a few seconds to complete. Once the flash is done, you will see: ‘Model ID: Palm Treo 750’ displayed by the device.
Step 2:
-Copy the ‘CHEEIMG.nbh’ file to the root directory of a miniSD card. Note: Windows Mobile recognizes updates only from FAT32 formatted cards.
-Insert the card into the device.
-Press and hold both the PTTApp Button (lowest button on left side of device) + Pin Reset (next to miniSD card slot). You will be prompted to press the ‘End’ (red power) key to start the update. This step takes about 5 minutes to complete.
-Hard reset the device once the device indicates the upgrade has been completed. To hard-reset, hold the ‘End’ (red power) key while pressing the pin reset button. Answer “yes” to “Erase all data” prompt.
Step 3:
Verify the device software via the device <start><settings><system tab><about><phone tab> The device should display firmware version on the resulting screen."
Good luck!
excuse me for asking,but there`s no file called ‘CheeDIAG.nbh’ or `CHEEIMG.nbh’ in files that are in the /Cheetah/Dumped_ROMs/ folder!
750v:34 MB consists of 3 .RAW files(What to do with them?)
treo750vrompartial_bcaslis with .RAW files inside,also
Treo750v_Dump_Cingular_ROM.zip with .dll`s mostly
Did I understand something wrong....?
Any help
THX in advance!
Roms
There are NO installable roms on the FTP!
The usable one is in the possesion of forum members.
Palm and/or Cingular asked politely ;-)) to remove them.
So you have to wait untill the new rom will be released later this month
i didn`t have time till now to wiew all the posts about this phone,and only now I saw that still there aren`t ROMS available.
If anyone has a ROM or a link for it,pls PM me!
THX in advance!

Bad news, my PDA likes yours, it cannot flash any rom now...
It's possible to revive them...but you'll need a special SD Card Image ROM...
Google a little bit about .nbh images, SD Rom Boot images, etc.
Once you have this special SD Card ROM Boot image prepared, you put it on the phone, put the phone in bootloader mode (camera + power + reset),and check the screen: - a message will appear telling you to "press power to flash", and you do it. Let it flash and reboot.
Magician revived.

The file header of the SD Card ROM must be the same of my magician ROM, isn't it? Now the problem is I can't get the header of my magician ROM, when I use "d2s" command the magician dead.
Well i don't quite get what you mean by "header of Magician ROM"....i assume that you are refering to the bootloader...what version do you have? Does it says 1.2 or 1.0? Have you tried to flash a different bootloader from a different model or something?
Anyway, I don't quite get what is your problem exactly - Is it with the Radio part or windows part? Does the WM2003se boots or not ?
- If your problem is only with the WM2k3 not booting, then you must upgrade only with a ROM image for the OS (nk.nbf) - (Try and use an original ROM first...don't you use cooked ROMs.)
- If it's both WM2K3 and radio, then you need to put the nk.nbf and radio_.nbf on the same directory where the MaUpgradeUt.exe is.
- If you also want to upgrade your Extended ROM, then beside both files mentioned, you also need to have the ms_.nbf.
Anyway, regarding the radio part: try this: google for "MagicianRadio_1.13.00_maupgrade"
Finally: don't forget that you need to download and use the "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" or the magician will complain about the country code error + some BS.

I heard that the front 416 bytes of SD card ROM image must be the same as the PDA, and then can falsh it. The front 416 bytes of every PDA ROM are different, so I must get my magician ROM header (416B), but I cannot.
My magician can boot, but cannot be flashed a new rom. The error code returned to me is "Get Device Data Error".
btw, the bootloader is v1.02, how can I reflash a new bootloader? I don't know how to do that, maybe it can resolve the problem.
Forget about changing the bootloader - you could end up with a brick on your hands...besides, that's the latest (final?) version of the bootloader for magicians.
Anyway, that message seems to be related to usb data transfer between your pc and your phone...you DID disabled the "Allow USB Connections" on ActiveSync BEFORE TRYING to do an upgrade, didn't you?
If you use windows Vista, there's a known problem when trying to flash a new ROM with it...
check this link on how to use vista for ROM upgrades: http://mahmood1.com/upgrade_pocket_pc_ruu_in_vista.aspx

My system is Windows XP, thank you all the same.
Okey, try this:
1) Download this image: http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/media/download/MA_TMNL_11300_132_11200_Ship.exe
(It's an original image from T-Mobile).
2) Extract the .exe content using winrar.
You will get the following files:
- EnterBL.exe
- GetDeviceData.exe
- RUU.dll
- RUU.conf
- UI.dll
- ROMUpgradeUt.exe
- nk.nbf
- ms_.nbf
- radio_.nbf
3) Delete the ms_.nbf, radio_.nbf and ROMUpgradeUt.exe files.
4) donwload this file: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe ...and put it on the above directory.
5) disable ActiveSync "allow usb connections".
6) put your phone in bootloader mode
7) run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and let it finish. (It may take some time...)
8) hard reset your phone.
Now, if you want to try to upgrade just the radio, repeat the above steps but delete the nk.nbf from that directory and and put a radio_.nbf there.
NOTE: You WILL loose everything that you've got stored on your phone...contacts, sms, etc...so do a backup 1st if you want.

Keeper
It not worked. The RUU.log is this:

I clicked "Upgrade" and it displayed "checking the information of your device..."...
Okey...the only way i see it, is to try an SD Card Upgrade.
I can try and craft you an image for your SD Card but i don't know if it will work on your SD Card... What's the size(s) of your SD Card (s)?
I don't want to e-mail you 1Gb image (i only have 1 and 2Gb SD Cards) and has so i need to do this ( http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=41 )...which i've never tried...so let's hope that the SD Card header won't be a problem...
Anyway, i can't do it now...i'll pm you later on, when i get some free time.
Regards,
Keeper
Thank you.
I have a 2 GB SD Card, but it didn't work, I think the reason maybe the header of the SD Card Image not modified. But I cannot get the header of my PDA.
Okey, here we go.
Do this:
1) Download this Emergency SD Card image: http://rapidshare.com/files/56985459/Emergency_SD_Card_Image.rar.html
2) Download the NTRW in attachment
3) Format your SD Card using windows XP format option
4) Copy both files (ntrw.exe and SDCard.img) to your C:\
5) Open a dos command prompt and type: ntrw write SDCard.img <sd card reader drive letter>
( do note that <sd card reader drive letter> must be replaced with your own SD card reader drive letter...example: "ntrw write SDCard.img e:". Also do note that when writing to the SD Card, some errors might appear...ignore them...the image is/will be there in your SD Card)
6) Put your phone in bootloader mode
7) Connect the usb cable or power cord to your phone (This is a MUST! or you won't see the next step)
8) Insert the SD Card on your phone and check if the screen message changes to something like " Press power to flash "
9) Do has told: press the power button and WAIT! (if it seems to stop, leave it that way...it will eventually end the upgrade)
10) Hard reset your phone when the upgrade ends.
Note 1: This SD image and procedure was tested on my phone and it works. The image itself is an original T-Mobile ROM 1.13.
Tell me how it went.
Best Regards,
Keeper
Happy to hear you again. But I cannot download the image. I will try.
I do this step by step, but after I inserted the SD Card on my phone, the screen message didn't change, it was "USB V1.02", if I disconnected the usb cable, it changed to "Serial V1.02".
It can't be...This image is in perfect shape. you must be doing something wrong or your bootloader is damaged seriously...
check this out:
- Your USB cable must be connected to your PC and ALSO to the Magician.
- Check if ActiveSync USB option is disabled.
- If both of the above are true, leave the SD Card inside the mini, and press camera + power + reset button again...(i've read that sometimes the process doesn't work at the first time...)
- Try to disconnect and connect the USB cable from your magician, with the SD Card inserted on the phone...check is the message on the screen changes...
Please post what you have tried already...
If nothing works, that means that your bootloader is f* up. You'll have to wait a little bit more so to give me time to check how to prepare an SD image (or an alternative way) for upgrading your bootloader.
Keeper
It not worked.
I just did as what you said. If I pressed camera + power + reset button with the SD Card inside, the screen was not changed even if I connected / disconnected the usb cable; but if I pressed camera + power + reset button without the SD Card inside, and inserted SD Card under bootloader mode, the screen can change from "USB" to "Serial", but I didn't see " Press power to flash ".
I think my Magician bootloader was corrupted, because the screen showed nothing after I typed "d2s" in MTTY. But I don't know how to upgrate bootloader.
Thank you very much.
Now I find a new problem: I couldn't delete some fonts files stored in "/storage/fonts", even if I hard reset PDA. After I setup a new font named QooQooCN, I cannot uninstall it, seems wince.nls running. But I still cannot delete /storage/fonts/*.ttf files. Why? If this is the reason why I cannot reflash my PDA?
Need help.
Coly, here it is the 1.02 bootloader from my device. Put it on your formated sd card like explained previously. Reboot in bootloader mode with the sd card inserted and with the USB cable connected...see if now you can get the "press power to flash"
If it still doesn't work, we will have to crack the passwords for the bootloader debug mode.
anyway, post your results, please.

Hi all,
Try to update my Treo 750 with: Treo750_2_26_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater.exe file.
But it gives an error saying:
Unsupported Device
Important:
This updater only works with the Palm treo smartphone.
What am I doing wrong......
- SD card is Fat32, 2gB freespace
- just fired up the exe file
And then the Unsupported Device.....
My Treo 750v is allready unlocked (got T-mobile now)

Upgraded to WM6 by SD method
Hi all,
Like you could read, i couldn't upgrade using Treo750_2_26_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater.exe file.
http://www.filefactory.com/dlf/f/641510/b/4/h/6af69e22285ac86cec78ef60a3145bc3cbc2b3bb/j/0/n/Treo750_2_26_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater_exe
But it finaly worked, so i thought i'd share the welth with the one who also want to upgrade and didn't succeed, this is how i did it.
Step by step.
1. Unpack Treo750_(version)_?DesktopUpdater.exe
2. Find CHEEIMG_FW.nbh (it's about 83MB).
3. Format your card to FAT32 (using Windows and card reader).
Make sure that this is FAT32, not FAT(16).
4. Copy CHEEIMG_FW.nbh to formatted miniSDcard.
5. Rename CHEEIMG_FW.nbh to CHEEIMG.nbh
6. Put your miniSD card into your Treo. Plug charger into Treo.
7. Holding PPT/Media button (one under volume keys) + push reset
(under card slot) with stylus.
8. You should get bootloader screen (red green blue).
9. If you made previus steps right Treo should ask if you want
to flash rom.
10. Press power button (red) to confirm.
11. Watch progress bar while Treo is being flashed
(it will take about 10 minutes).
12. After upgrade make hard reset (reset + holding power button,
then "up" to confirm).
So this did the trick. (for me)
Now i'm on wm 6.0
Planning to upgrade to 6.5
Rickson
WHAM!!!! Upgraded to Wm 6.5 proffessional
Sweet!!!!!!!!
Did the same steps with the CHEEIMG.nbh from Navenedrob!!!!

Did you Hard-SPL first?

If you did first Hard-SPL and then the steps then it should work.
Which upgrade did you do, wm5.0 -> wm 6.0/6.1/6.5??
