In an attempt to turn on Name Display on my Rogers Treo 750 (which I upgraded to WM 6.1).
So I downloaded the Rogers.zip file and ran it. (The link is in in the thread for 750 name display). I did a 'card update' and everything was fine. I re-set my Treo and nothing....
So I downloaded the ROM from Palm site for Rogers. And did a 'cd card install' using the Rogers Treo ROM from Palm. Everything went well. On the screen I saw the 'ok' appear beside the various tests. At the end I saw 'update successful'.
So I re-set the Treo - nothing. Simply a dark screen.
So apparantly I've bricked my Treo
Any ideas? Any way to 'unbrick' it? I would have thought using the ROM from PalmOne would have clear everything and start fresh.
try hard reset?..

I upgraded our first SPVM1000 (xda2 from orange) with WM5 and it all seemed to work fine.
I then up upgraded the second and it went fine. The second one is still workign completely fine with no problems. We noticed that the first one could not get reception. If you put its sim card in the other phone then it works. Now I tried with with Orange and Vodafone sims. They work in PDA 2 but in PDA 1 there is no reception (it was working yesterday).
Then it kept coming up with an error saying that it was sorry for the inconvenience but there was an error with cprog.exe.
After a reset (power button and soft reset button) that stopped happening but then I found that I could not active sync PDA1. It cant connect and so connects as "guest". After what used to be a hard reset, everything is still as though I just did a soft reset with WM5 - not sure why.
Then I tries to backdate it to the old rom. If I use OSImage tool it wants it to be active synced which doesn't work (v3.8 or v4.0). I also tried to reupgrade with WM5 again (a fresh installation) but althoght it will go into boot mode with Serial 1.03 and then USB 1.03 appearing on the screen, the upgrade fails. It says there is a communication error.
Everything is working with PDA 2 so it cant be a connection fault. I think I did something and now I got myself in quite a pickle.
Can anyone help please?
I'd be happy to reset / reboot right back to the beginning again though I'd like to keep WM5.
Thanks

Solution (how to hard reset in wimdows mobile 5)
Hard resetting WM5 has fixed all of these problems including the phone reception. To hard reset (sometimes called clear reset in the forums) you have to press the tape and camera buttons and then the soft reset with the stylus. This is on an XDA2 (SPVM1000) and is different since upgrading to WM5 (prev power button and the soft reset did the trick). I found lots of websites giving different instructions on how to do this but for the XDA2 type this works.

Hi everybody,
i have flashed the WM6 underground edition a couple of weeks back. Now i wanted to downgrade to WM5, but without success. I am using IPL/SPL 2.21. After starting the ruu upgrade software the Wizard switches to boot mode. So far so good.... But then nothing happens anymore and after a minute or so the software quits with error 260.
Any hints what to do ??
I have the newest Activesync installed.. I even cannot flash any other Wm6 rom.
Any help would really be appreciated !!!!
Best regards
Batman08
When you reboot your phone, post exactly what version IPL and SPL you see.
Didn't someone once post that there was a difference in USB cables....Grasping at straws, but just a thought!
Hmmm... do you hear the active sync connection bell ring when it reboots into bootloader? At the bottom of the screen, do you see the letters USB near the left hardkey?
Might try another PC, or even a different USB port on the same machine. Sounds like the USB is acting up.
After the phone reboots i can see IPL/SPL 2.11.
I can hear three bell rings with the same low frequency. To
me that is not correct as the connection bell ring should be two tones ?
I can see "USB" on the left side of the Wizard's screen.
I also tried different cables, but no success.
I am using WIN XP with SP2. Upgrading worked flawless
some month back with WM5.
The only thing i had to change was ActiveSync 4.5 as WM6 is only
supported there.
Any hint ???

ERROR [248~260] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.
Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.
This is taken from the redme inside the RUU
Good Luck
Put the phone into bootloader mode, kill WCESCOMM.exe from process list, attach Wizard, let it install driver, open up RUU and (hopefully) flash.
Also make sure you pull out your SD card while you try to flash your phone.

You made my day !!!!!!!! it worked flawless.... Thanks a lot !
Hi All:
I've been studying this site, and hundreds of posts, and finally got up the nerve to try to unlock my Treo today. Unfortunately, it does not seem that it worked.
I just tried Hard-SPL in order to unlock my Treo 750 Cingular (US).
I was not able to get through all three steps.
Got "Unhandled Exception Has Occurred, Continue or Quit" I continued.
After three or four tries, I was able to get to the point where a message popped up: "Congratulations! Process complete!"
Powered off Treo, inserted TMoble SIM card, and got this:
"Simlock: You have tried 3 times. Please wait until timeout"
Cannot get past this message.
What happened? What point am I at?
If I press reset and hold the bottom button on the left, the screen says:
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.21.0000
Can anyone help?
the hard spl did not work. you do have net compact framework 2.0 on your computer? what i did on mine was go into your c drive. there is a file that says tempche. delete that file. then run the unlocker process again from the beginning.
.net framework?
Well, well, well!
I have .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 installed.
However! I do not have .NET Compact Framework installed!
I'll try that, and let you know how I do.
Thanks!
Unbelieveable!!!
OK, this is UNfreakinBelievable!
I got it working!!!
I now have my Treo 750 SIM unlocked. And, for good measure, I had it do a CID unlock!
I used the CheetahUnlocker.exe program from Olipro. (The internal version number of the program is 1.0.0.0, dated 2007, and the internal Program Name is AthenaUnlocker.exe.)
Once I installed the .NET Compact Framework onto my PC and Treo, everything went pretty smoothly.
During Step 2 of CheetahUnlocker, (Unlock Radio) I did have to manually copy two of the files that were in the c:\tmpche on the PC: Athena_Unlock.exe and CheetahPatched.nbh to the Treo, then run Athena_Unlock on the Treo. I checked both "SIM Unlock" and "CID Unlock", and clicked "Unlock"
I did run Step 3 of CheetahUnlocker, (Flash Normal Radio), as I had read that it was important to put the "normal" radio software back in.
Once the unlock procedure was done, I powered off the Treo, removed the cover and battery, and inserted my Tmobile SIM. Once I re-installed the battery and cover, the Treo booted up, and allowed me to go right to the phone dial pad. I tried calling my home number, and it worked!!!
Then I went in and set up the MODEM settings, and tried to get on the Internet. Success!!!
And, not only do I now have phone and Internet, all of my contacts, scheduling, and notes were transferred from my old phone to the new one!
the only thing left to do is set up my email. Which I'll leave for tomorrow. Right now, I need to get to bed (it's 11:40pm), but I'm so psyched, I'll probably not sleep!
Olipro, you're the greatest!
And nuwayman, thanks for tipping me off to the part I would never have figured out on my own... the "compact" in .NET Compact Framework!!!
I know that, to many of you, this process was nothing. But, to me, it was a nerve-wracking experience, wondering if I was going to destroy my shiny "new" Treo 750 by trying to unlock it!
Thanks to all of you for your efforts in making this all possible.
YAAAAYYYYYY!
Now I can retire my Treo 600!!!!
And...figure out how to unlock my "new" Treo 650!!!
congrats
way to go in figuring it out. enjoy your new phone.
Hi. Looks like Treo 750 forums are almost dead nowadays. But if someone can point me out in the right direction I'll really appreciate it.
I have a Treo 750, it came with WM5, I updated it to WM6 around a year ago. I did an official update, the one we were able to get from the Palm website. I've been very unhappy with it lately. Even after some hard resets, the thing is just slow sometimes, and I would just like to try one of those cooked ROM and see if I can get a some performance improvement, small or not.
So, I found this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345748
The thread was posted a long time ago so it might be old. If you can point out to newer and/or better cooked/lite roms, thanks .
So, anyway, first step according to everyone is to install HardSPL. And this is as far as I can go. I'm using CheetahUnlocker.exe found in these boards. I put my treo in bootloader mode, then run CheetahUnlocker. Start step 1. But when it is trying to the update, where you see the progress bar, it goes straight to 100%, and then it fails with an error message 207, saying that the image is corrupted. The Treo itself reboots back to the OS.
I've been reading and reading for hours and I haven't been able to do this. I even follow some steps regarding Vista drivers, but that didn't work either. I tried it in XP at work and it didn't work. I always get the same error. I'm seriously lost and I would really like to try a lite ROM.
Is there any other way I can try to install hard spl? Can it be installed via the SD card method. Also, I could just go ahead and install the cooked rom via the SD card method but I wouldn't like to risk my phone that way.
When I reset my phone with the Media button pressed, first I get the tri-color screen for less than 1 sec, then I get a gray window with blue letters that says "Loading" for a few secs, and then I'm back to the try color screen that says:
"Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000"
Any ideas? Please I really need help.
No one? I really need help flashing the HardSPL. I thought about trying to install the hardspl via SD, but I read it wouldn't work. Any ideas?
hi, do you format the SD in FAT32 and 512 bytes in your PC??? you must do this before copy de cheeimg.nbh file to SD.
not sure if this is too late but mine was doing the same thing. I switched to a lower capacity SD card and it worked fine. 2GB or less.
I have the same problem, just the 3 collor screen...nothing else. Any ideas??? Please...
I was updating my phone from windows mobile 6.1 to one of Ryan Moguls 6.5 updates today. Everything worked alright, it turned on, loaded everything, but only stayed on for about a minute. After soft resetting it a few times it is now stuck on the three colored screen. I've tried hard resetting it (the prompt comes up, I hit yes), but then it just goes back to the same three colored screen. The screen says:
TITA100
SPL-1.2.Olipro
& then at the bottom it says Serial.
I've tried putting wm 6.1 back on it, but I keep getting error 290.
I would REALLY love some help!
I managed to use the microSD method to get windows 6.5 & the needed radio for it. My problem now is that it is stuck in a reboot loop. It'll stay on for about a minute and then reset. I figure it is because I need olipro 2.40, but i have a 64-bit computer that won't support it. Any suggestions?
