i cant flash thru bluetooth and my usb port on my tilt doesnt work. how can i flash thru storage card?
Make sure you have installed HARDSPL.
Download a rom and rename it to KAISIMG.nbh
Hold down the camera button and soft reset, should bring you to the tri-colour screen. Press power to flash the new rom.
read the wiki for more detailed instructions.
here's the complete, detailed, wiki post:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
good luck
im using a fat32 micro sd. i renamed the nbh file to KAISIMG.nbh and transferred it to the root of the micro sd. i get the bootloader screen on, it flashes grey quickily and says no image file and then it goes back to the multi color screen.
i beleive it is hardspl, it says SPL-1.0 and i have previously flashed other roms onto the phone.
any help
You need to flash HardSPL.
can i flash hardspl with my storage card?
also, i have previously flashed other roms, doesnt that mean i already have hard spl? the phone is also already SIM unclocked. i could i have sword i did a hardspl.
check by holding the camera button while soft resetting, it will tell you in the bootloader what spl ou have, and let you flash w/ the sd card (but if you need to change the hardspl, you need to use your computer)... read the wiki for directions (sticky for spl directions)
it says SPL-1.0.OliPof
just check that when you format your SD card that it is done as fat 32, and not just fat, as i made the same mistake yesterday..I do all my flashing from sd card, as using vista x64 and its so unreliable i dont want to risk bricking the phone...My mate originally did the hard spl for me, and mine shows 1.0 olipof like yours, and i have no problem flashing now..
I used to find on the Hermes that sometimes I needed to reformat the card and copy the ROM file over again. Dunno why or what changed but sometimes it would just take a few goes to 'catch'
One other thing.
The SD cannot have a Label when you Format it.

Most of you have noticed that my ROMs require flashing through the SD card. I've given out the instructions many times, but they tend to be lost in the shuffle that is day to day posting so here is a whole thread dedicated to it:
1. Format your SD card to FAT32.
2. Place HERAIMG.nbh into your SD card.
3. Hold the camera button then press the soft reset button while holding the camera button.
4. Press the down volume when it asks you to press something.
If this doesn't work, it means either:
1. Your SD card isn't fast enough. You can try partitioning the SD card so that it only has a small amount of space formatted. This can be read faster by the bootloader.
2. You don't have a HERAIMG.nbh file in your SD card.
3. Your HERAIMG.nbh was made with a small number in the "version" number.
4. Your SD is a SDHC. The driver that allows SDHC compatibility is not loaded in the bootloader. Buy a cheap little 1GB card to flash with.
3. Your HERAIMG.nbh was made with a small number in the "version" number.

No, when making the NBH you have the option of setting a version number.
In order to flash any third party ROM you need an IPL and SPL of 4.xx and to HardSPL your phone (HardSPL requires an SPL of 4.xx)
To upgrade your SPL and IPL you can try upgrading your phone with it's most updated stock RUU (Some, like HTC bring the upgrade) or you can try the GoldCard method. (Search for the word "Goldcard".)
how can i do this i have a herald 4350 or well the t-wing and i doesn't want to connect to my computer well it connects but 3 seconds later it disconnects i don't know what going on and i been trying to update to another rom. thanks for any help.

Hi Ivan,
Just to let you know though, there must be some kind of problem. I followed the instructions and flashed through my SD the nbh (os+radio) numerous times but after the flash my Herlad always failed to boot. The flash was successful, I got a message "press any key to continue" from the bootloader and after a softreset the screen was always black with no signs of booting.
Also, just to let you know, the program that opens the htcrt.proj file fails to register and I always had to /right click/open with and then manually select the os and radio files to create the nbh.

If it fails to boot, it means that the ROM you created has something wrong in it, not that the flashing process has something wrong in it.
As far as the proj file, if you have windows Vista, it may have not set the permissions properly.
Hi.
I'm fairly new to this and I'm trying to flash a JustMe ROM. I have built both a XPR and a LZX but none of them worked. I just follow your intructions and I get to a screen with gradients of Red, Green, Blue and a white bar in the background and IPL 4.17.0001 and SPL 4.17.0000. From what I understood, something should happen now, right? Well, it doesn't.
What may be the problem?

You should not see the gradients right away.
If you followed the steps exactly, and your NBH has a version number of 5.2.xxxxx or higher: Then your SD card might not be fast enough or it might be a SDHC which won't work.
How big is your SD card?
It's a 2GB Silicon Power MicroSD. How do I check the version of my NBH?
Also, the NBH is not the only file I have in my card. Do I have to format it or if it is already in FAT32 (which it is) I don't need to?
btw, a message saying something like "Checking SD card" (something like that, couldn't see it right) appears before the gradients but only for 1/4 of second or something.

The reason I mention it is because SD cards come preformatted as FAT16.

That's where the flashing is done. If you only see it for 1/4 second, it means:
1. You didn't follow the directions (FAT32 and version number)
2. The SD card is too slow.
The NBH version is 5.19588.

Did you format the card to FAT32?
It was already formated. I'll try with this version number.
EDIT: Didn't work. I'll format the card.

So the formatting was still an issue. Weird. Ok, so now it's reading it but it's not validating the certificate. Have you HardSPL'ed?
No, as I don't even know what that is. So far I have only needed the Flash Center application to flash the ROMs.

The Flash Center only works through inserting the code through Windows Mobile. Since my ROMs are flashed outside of Windows Mobile, therefore, it requires a HardSPL'd phone. HardSPL is better than the Flash Center since it protects the SPL and IPL from being overridden in a bad flash or when you accidently use a ROM that isn't meant for your phone. But, the HardSPL can be dangerous is you don't follow the install process properly as it can brick your phone.
Hum, ok. I'm quite intuitive in understanding how to hack devices so don't worry as I'll probably not brick my phone. I'll search for HardSPL and when I'm done I'll post the results.
Thanks for all the help and for your (I imagine) great ROMs.
EDIT: HardSPL'd my phone and everything is working great. Very fast ROM, I may say. Not as good-looking as the Open Touch Project I was using, but sometimes functionality is better than style.
i've been trying to update my tilt's rom and I don't know what im doin wrong. i've tried flashing mbarvian's solace v 1.5 rom and revrom v8 (sorry I can't remember who cooked the rom) and neither is working.
i've followed every step in the sticky for noobs like me. but when I get to step 3, which is flashing hardspl, I get lost. I moved the jumpspl files to my phone and ran jumpspl 1.93, since 1.53 seems to do nothing. it goes into bootloader, I disconnect usb, reconnect it, and try to run kaisercustomruu so I can flash hardspl 3.29. but when I try to run kaisercustomruu it just shuts down my computer. I don't know whts going on. it seems like im the only one running into this problem. i've spent the past 3 days searching the forums for a solution or reason why kaisercustomruu shuts down my comp and I can't find anything.
when I downloaded mbarvians solace rom there was another update utility that was included in the fil so I ran that. it worked, I clicked all necessary boxes, and the update initialized. but it just stays at 0 percent, and eventually gives me error 262 "update utility error" or something like that.
I tried restarting my comp and even hard reset my device. nothing is working.
im currently running the HTC windows 6.1 rom (the one straight off the site) and have hardspl 3.56.
the reason im trying to go to hardspl 3.29 is because mbarvian and the majority of people on his thread that had succes with his rom are running 3.29.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Well, you can't flash custom ROM's till you HardSPL your Tilt/Kaiser.
I noticed you didn't mention anything about disableling USB Connections in ACtive Sync/WMDC. Did you do that?
Also, kaisercustomruu is generic. Try copying the one from the ROM dl into the HardSPL dl folder. Another suggestion is do a search for flashing hardspl from sd card.

You will definitely get more help in that thread. But you already have hardspl, so read the part about flashing cmonex's 3.29 from your SD card, that looks like that will solve your problems.

I was going to agree with this, but then I read the flashing guide, and it says flashing from the SD card only works if you're upgrading. From the sounds of it, he doesn't have HardSPL on his phone, otherwise the cooked ROMs would flash.
To the OP, I would try another KaiserCustomRUU.exe. Just copy it from one of the custom ROMs you've downloaded and paste it into the folder you have HardSPL in. Be sure to delete the one that came with HardSPL first. If that doesn't work, maybe you could try a different computer? I don't think you need an ActiveSync connection to flash since JumpSPL puts the phone into flash mode. (Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong.) Just download HardSPL, extract, run JumpSPL, plug your phone in, and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe. It should flash!
I do have hardspl installed its v3.56. I just wanna try 3.29 cos mbarvian and the people on his rom thread that had success with his rom have 3.29 installed.
I read the flashing for noobs sticky and i've been following it verbatim. when I went to try and format my SD card to fat32 it wouldn't let me. I used resco explorer and when I tried to format it it said it wasn't unlocked. that's one thing I failed to ask about in my original post: how do I unlock the SD card?
I used 2 other kaisercustomruu's from other roms and they all forced my comp to shut down. I even ran it on my gf's comp and it shut hers down too.

Take your microsd card and place it into the converter (normal sized sd card). There is a switch on the side. Place the switch in the opposite position of "lock"

It sounds like you do not have kaisercustomruu in a folder, which contains .nbh file. Rather you are probably attempting to run it from your desktop???

Ah, you have to use a SD Card reader on a PC to format it, not through the phone.
each time I ran kaisercustomruu it was in a folder with an nbh file. does it have to be by itself with the nbh file? just kaisercustomruu and the rom file?
oh that's all I have to do? just put it in the SD adapter and flip the switch? does it have to be in a computer for it to work?

No.... there is nothing wrong with your SD card.
Do this:
1. Remove your SD card and your SIM Card. Start your device.
2. Connect your Device to your PC Via ActiveSync. Make sure you are fully connected.
3. Unzip and copy the exe file of attached JumpSPL to your device memory.
4. Run Jump/Soft SPL on your device
5. Wait for the bootloader screen to appear and "USB" to show.
6. Right-click activesync icon on the PC tray, go into connection settings and ensure Allow USB Connections is unchecked
7. Unplug your device from the USB port, wait 5 - 20 seconds, plug it back in.
8. Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe of the desired HardSPL and flash HardSPL3.29
To see if you have successfully flashed the 3.29 HardSPL press the camera and power button and press the soft reset once all at the same time, you will see the four color screen and it should display the SPL version.
Whether your SD card is locked or unlocked has no barrier on flashing SPL on your device, since you need to have it out of the device when you perform the SPL install.
Fat32 sometimes would not allow operation of certain files on your PC. thats why sometimes PPC programs or files would not open on your PC and would give you error msgs. Now some folks tried to create a virtual fat32 folder that could in some instances open or run fat32 programs that are created for mobile devices, but in most cases that would crash your PC OS and shuts it down. Same story with netCF files.
So in essence if you were to follow my instructions above, you will get it done and it should not take longer that two minutes to complete the process.
Again.... DO NOT SHORTCUT THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Good luck

I did do all that. like I said I followed the instructions to a tee, but when I ran the kaisercustomruu that was included with the hardspl file my comp just shut down.
question: if I run jumpspl and then use the htc update utility to flash hardspl, would that work? (the htc update utility is the update utility that worked when I tried to flash the rom but it just sat at 0%)

Are you trying to add files to your card by inserting it into your laptop using an adapter?
BTW certain adapters for some reason or another will not allow you to do that after the SD card has been placed and used in a phone.
Can you access the SD card through ActiveSync? If you have installed programs on your SD card and you are trying to delete them from the SD card it would not let you as there is a shared violation in that process. The way to do is that you would need to remove the programs first from your device by using the Remove prompt in your settings page on your phone, then going to your SD card and deleting the program files. If you do it in the reverse order you will run into problems; Remnants of those programs will still reside in your main memory.
The attached is a utility that would help format SD card. DO NOT UNZIP IT. Just create a folder on your PC and save the attached in it, When done, change the file type of the attached file from zip to exe. Then right hand click it and do the extract to the folder you created. Follow the included instructions to format the SD card.

Sounds to me your 8GB SDHC Card failed if it worked before and isn't anymore. Can you play the music on the card from either your PC or Kaiser?
going crazy
so i've been following asfoor's advice. I ran kaiserunlocker, but none of the steps made any progress. I tried using it to flash spl3.29, but my spl still shows 3.56. I tried flashing the patched radio, but its still the same (1.65.21.18). I downloaded v2.0, so I know I have the most recent version of kaiserunlocker. help! im getting more and more frustrated.
... 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.

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.

... 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?

We have all the same problem. NO SOLUTION at the moment.
Here some link were people talks about this problem and no one give a valid solution:

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.

You should probably buy a new phone...

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?
So I got in this situation by running step 1 of the cheetahunlocker with a CHEETAH.grh file on the SD card. Everything worked (I got OK) on everything but the "OS" flash never finished, just stayed on 90% progress and never moved.
Yes I didn't do a hard SPL, I was trying, but for some reason to hardspl process grabbed a ROM off my SD card and ran with it.
From the various searches I have found that I should get a stock ROM, reflash with this.
I do not have a "Stock ROM" and cannot find one anywhere. Also how would I even flash this ROM if I had it? I would assume I would drop this ROM on the SD card (FAT 32, and rename properly) but where do I find the elusive stock ROM?
I cannot use active sync or anything, my phone with only boot into the bootloader (red/blue/green)
I have an SIM unlocked 750:
- On reset with no SD my phone hangs on the Palm OS progress bar
- On reset + PTT with no SD I get:
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000
- I've tried the cheetachunlocker, step 1, says my image file is corrupted at 7% progress.
- I've tried the athena_unlocker.exe with cheetachunlcoker.exe method, no dice.
- I've tried various ROMs on the SD and none of them seem to go anywhere.
If the answer is "Use your backup ROM", I don't have one. If the answer is "find a stock ROM", where????
I do have another 750 I could "backup" and then use this backup to flash my bricked 750... but how to backup the good one? How to use this backed up ROM to flash the bricked one?
Thanks in advance!!

Stock ROM would be the ROM that was officially shipped with the device, either a carrier branded version or Palm's own version.
Since you said your device was unlocked, it could be one of two possibility:
1. You unlocked it by asking the carrier to provide you with an network unlock code or by purchasing a network unlock code from a 3rd party vendor.
2. Your phone was purchased without a contract tied to a carrier so it was a Palm branded unlocked Treo 750.
Which is it?
This will determine which stock ROM you should run.
And ALL stock ROMs are floating around here or some other forum somewhere...
[Update]
Here's a link to download the 2.23 ROW ROM for the Treo 750: http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar
ROW=Rest of the World; Official Palm ROM
Great thanks for that, now how to use this file correctly, now that I screwed this up the first time. I can't use active sync, can only get to the Bootloader Red/Blue/Green screen.
Should I extract the cheetah.rgh to SD and do a reset? I don't think that has been working for me but will try again with this different ROM
Thanks!!
Stuck
So I downloaded the ROW firmware from above, copied to MicroSD and did the old reset+PTT button.
The screen flashes with "Loading..." for a moment and I'm back to
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000
What next? Thanks!
SOLVED!!!!
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!

Glad that your phone is up & running.
Those who brick their Treo 750 should be able to follow the procedures mentioned here & other related thread to recover their devices as long as the bootloader screen is able to display.
