I cant get my Tre0 750 to take either WM6 or downgrade to WM5...all I get is SPLASH1-OK , BOOTLOADER-OK, GSM-OK ,MicroP-OK then when it gets to OS---Update Terminate UPDATE FAIL...I am using 2 gb sd formated to fat 32...Any one have any ideas? I have just the tri colored screen TIA
This has been discussed at length, please search the upgrade forum. You need to make sure your card is formatted FAT32, even if you think you did it right do it again. Most all who have had this issue once reformatted again have not had any problems.
I had this issue when updating to WM6. It wound up being that the file was not the full size. Apparently some of the sites that people posted the files to were cutting off the download before it was complete. I would check to make sure. I would think that if it was an issue with the formatting of the SD card that it would not have allowed you to enter the bootloader.
Thanks Albiemanmike and Pderosa..I tried a new mini sdhc card formatted FAT32 with same file and it worked!! Musta been something wrong with the original mini sdhc card...Thanks again for you help !
The only problem I had upgrading my treo was the instructions which are posted throughout many of the sites. In one of them they say push the start button when it says update. what they dont tell you it only flashes for a second then it reverts to the boot screen. The next thing you need to do is push the end button to start the update.
Hi,
This is my first post and I would be most grateful for a little advice. I have a XDA Exec that suffered a broken USB socket, since I replaced this, I cannot connect to Activesync, just shows as unknown device. Question is, is there a WM6 rom upgrade with voip that can be done from the flash card, or is this a stupid question and USB the only way. Any info would be very welcome.
Thank you

it is possible but you need access to another universal
1) Flash the ROM you want on the other universal (unless it is already on there)
2) Using Mtty, as Described in the HTC Universal Service Manual, Backup the CE section of the ROM of this device to a freshly formatted SD card (I use a 256mb card, experiment for others)
3) Put your Universal into bootloader mode and then insert the SD card conatining the backup image.
4) Follow the on-sreen instructions to flash it to your device
5) Hard Reset
Thats good advice, I will try and borrow another one, much appreciated.
Sorry because i post here, but i have the same problem with the prophet.
Your solution can work for it right?
I am testing the 5.2.1933 now and it has the VoIP thing
If you want...

I have the same problem as Grandalf, the worst is hard to find another Universal ppc.
Is there any other way, like the other ppc phones that can flash the rom by SD card ?

Hi,
I'm also looking for a back-up image too! Can you make one of the latest WM6.1 version ROM? Like this version: [UPDATE: Ranju's - v7.1] WM6.1 Pro - 5.2.19188 (Build 19188.1.0.0)
Thanks!
Flash from SD without 2nd device
Technically it's actually feasible to flash the ROM from storage card WITHOUT having 2nd device or backup image.
I'm sure it should work the way I'm thinking but it has to be tested before end-user flashing. I may write a how-to if I have some time......some day.
Cheers

I've uploaded everything from the device to an SD card now and it should work, as I get the screen telling me to press power to flash.
Unfortunately the card is not formatted in a "proper way", meaning the Uni and windows both see it as unformatted.
Is there a solution to make a sector based copy of the card, so I could provide its content for those people with broken USB connectors?
i would also be very interested in this. i dropped my uni a few months back with the cable plugged in and it smashed the usb port on the uni. would like to flash new rom to it via sd. unfortunately, in australia, this device is very rare. i have never met any1 else with one, so getting one is impossible.
if there is any other way to do this, i would greatly appreciate it.
thanx
Hi, I've just bought a MAC, and I want to Flash to a new ROM with the MAC.
And to flash a new rom you need a stable connection via ActiveSync or WMDC.
How do I get this same stable connection on mac. (Without installing Windows OS on Mac!)
Thanks.
(I did search, sorry if I did it wrong )

he said to flash a new rom. and for gsm phones if you have hardspl you can copy rom files to an sd card and just flash the phone without a computer. i dunno how it works with cdma (sprint/verizon). htc rom tools and activesync is a windows only deal. if you can do sd card flash thatll be your bet.

Something free out there?
Also, this Flash from SD.. How does that work?
I recently got a macbook for my birthday and had the same problem. The best solution I've found so far is to use the SD card to flash. I've been doing that for a little over 2 months now without any issues at all (except for syncing contacts/calendar, but SyncMate solved that problem), and have heard rumors that if you run windows in bootcamp you can flash that way too, but I haven't tried that option yet.
see this post for the flashing guide

see this post for SyncMate (trial/demo should cover basic syncing needs)

Thanks! I've never noticed that Flashing from SD card column.! Thnks
i know you said you don't want to install Windows but thats what i did and have been doing for a while
I have windows 7 currently installed via VMware's Fusion and haven't had a single issue. Can flash roms, install apps, sync with outlook, etc.
... I'm trying to flash a HardSPL onto my possibly-dead Kasier, and I'm currently trying to do it via SD (because the USB isn't reliable for some reason).
I've got the KAISDIAG.nbh and the KAISIMG.nbh (I've tried several different HardSPL versions) on the SD, and when the phone boots I get the gray "Loading..." screen, but that's as far as it ever gets.
How long is it supposed to take, and are there any suggestions on where I might go next?
Have you tried doing it via USB?
USB doesn't work consistently. I can't get the phone to boot into Windows, so no JumpSPL, and when I plug in the USB at the bootloader screen I get "Unrecognized Device".

- Did you format the SD card with FAT32? It should be FAT32.
- I always use the name KAISIMG.nbh
- It just loads within less than 5 seconds for me, rather quickly before it asks me to press Power button for upgrading.
So, check if SD card is with FAT32 and check the name of the nbh file first.

Yeah, it's FAT32, and I've definitely got the right filename. Bummer. I'll let it "rest" here for a day or two and try again.

Did you have another HSpl before or this is the 1st time you try to do it ?
Flash HSpl thru SD card is only possible to change from one 3.xx to another 3.zz

Ah, no, it's a completely stock Tilt. It's quite possibly dead, but because it's now mine and can't get any -worse-, I'm just playing around with it. Do you have any other suggestions? If I can't get it to boot into WM, how might I be able to get a HSPL on it?
I'm thinking of just task 2a'ing it and seeing if frankenkaiser might be able to resurrect it...
Look at the sticky posts and try to get information from there, before use Task2 or other hard method
Yeah I've gone through lots of stuff, but everything seems to either require booting into WM, or just doesn't work for me. On the last occasion that USB was working, for example, I got into MTTY, but "info 2" and "info 8" just showed nothing, which I understand isn't how it's supposed to be...?
"boot" and "task 0" give "Command Error!!!", which I also gather is not how it's supposed to work.
I must confess never used MTTY
In the same situation but can boot to Windows.
I sympathize with your frustration.
I wound up in a similar situation after trying to flash a stock ROM back to my device (via SD) from a previous 6.5 ROM.
End result after my attempt to flash a stock ROM:
-Device flashed, but only the 6.1 RADIO was successful
-Still have the 6.5 ROM (and no audio and other issues due to the old Radio)
-Can boot to windows
-NO USB sync (via JumpSPL or any other method)
-KAISIMG.nbh SD flash is stuck at the white screen and shows (Loading...)
Still haven't found a solution to this, after reformatting the SD, and multiple attempts at a PC sync/flash. Thinking it might be related to a corrupted SD Card. Ordered a new one and it should arrive any minute.
I'll post my result once it arrives.
Try with a different USB cable, sometimes they tend to go corrupt.
this has happened to me in the past too, try formatting your sd card again. if that doesn't work, try a different sd card. i've got a 4gb that just won't work for sd flashing, and a 1gb that works perfect every time.

Update: Did try 3 separate SD Cards (1GB AData, 4GB Kingston, and an 8GB AData). All had the same results, with a fresh FAT 32 format (default allocation).
8GB was a brand new card, with no luck.
For the record. I have been able to flash in the past with my 1GB and 4GB cards, with no issue. Multiple cables and PC's have been used with no change to the outcome.

Funny thing is that the phone still works (at least as a phone
No sound, no camera... and the 6.5 ROM that's on there is a bit flaky. I haven't lost hope yet... may try to solder a new USB connector before I put this one to bed.
...or just by a Zune HD, and wait until the new Tegra based phones to ship.
Any better ideas out there?
Load only KAISIMG.nbh and remove other I had the same issue and did this then it worked
Flash with just KAISIMG.nbh

If you are referring to removing the KAISDIAG.nbh file from the SD card, and just booting with the KAISIMG.nbh. I tried this just now, with the exact same results. Stuck at "Loading..." at the white screen.
The KAISIMG.nbh I was loading was a newer 6.5 radio. What image were you able to get to work?
I can explore the SD card (tried 2, only one is goldcard) within the phone and it plays music and takes photos still, but when I mount them they don't appear in windows (windows 7)
this happened after trying to fix the perfected spl from sense UI singapore, I made a goldcard, put 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip onto it, restarted, volume- + power, then I waited a few seconds and it has green text saying it can't find the files or bad files and disappears really quickly. So I rebooted it, renamed the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to update.zip and tried again, still no luck, then I booted it up again, mounted it and suddenly it wont appear!
I've gone into control panel/computer management and it doesn't appear in harddrive list either...
It appears in device manager as Android Phone - Android ADB Interface. and when I was trying HBOOT update and switching between HBOOT and fastbook to quicky try to read the update text again, it said 'windows has installed drivers for this device - android adb' so maybe that is some factor :S
As far as i'm concerned i already had all the drivers installed as I have programmed apps before
seems to be a problem with the phone not the sd cards, what can I do?
Hello,
you said you made a goldcard, maybe that's your problem: the card wasn't formatted correctly and isn't recognized by windows.
Can you try with another sdcard or format your current card?
nevermind. I've fixed it now. Instead of mounting I tried HTC Sync (which never works on windows 7) but it made the phone reappear. So back to square one.
It wasn't clear to rename the file to sappimg.zip. now that i've done that it started the update but it stopped saying CID Incorrect - I guess this means my goldcard is bad?

Yes. CID = Customer ID. Try another sd card.
okay I'll try my 16GB card... when using this one it also fails: main version is older!
is there a newer version yet?????
