can you hard-spl a phone using an sd card? - Palm Treo 750

would this be possible? it would be just like flashing a rom.

It depends...
For an install then, yes, it should be possible, what you would need to do is get a copy or your orginal shipped ROM, take out the OEM SPL and add the the Hard SPL to the image and flash that image via your SD card.
For an upgrade it is also possible, but requires a SSPL image to be created that is loaded to the SD card that boot's an SSPL and then flashes the Hard SPL from an Image. It has been done for the Kaiser, but it isn't easy work.
Neither of these are that easy, and I am not guaranteeing they would work :0

Methods to upgrade the Kaiser Radio

Hello,
I am the newbie of flashing cooked Rom in my Kaiser. I have checked the Wiki and flashed the cooked Rom successfully. Then, I found that I need to upgrade the radio since the version is too old (The Radio is for WM6.0 and the cooked Rom is WM6.1). However, the Wiki and some posts tell me to upgrade the radio by using the MicroSD card ONLY. Is there any method to upgrade the radio other than using MicroSD card?
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Jacky Luk
why would you need any other method?
i flash roms/splashes/radios using the sd card and think its the best way.
Because I do not have the MicroSD card in my hand now!
i think you can flash the radio the same method you flashed the rom...
or just buy the sdcard
Actually, can I use the generic Rom flashing method to flash the radio since I found that the downloaded radio contains the KaiserCustomRUU.exe and KAIS_1.71.09.01.nbh? In other words, can I flash the radio by executing the KaiserCustomRUU.exe when the Kaiser is connecting to the host computer through the Microsoft ActiveSync?
Run the radio file the same way you would flash your ROM from the PC. Make sure you are certain you have a radio ONLY file though. Or else you might just flash a new rom as well.
Thank you very much!

how to flash rus rom into T-mobile WING

IPL 4.10.002
Hera110
One need to flash russian ROM
Made HARD SPL yang 4.70 everythinw went ok
Tried to flash official rus rom. MODEL ID invalid
Deleted spl.nbh from the directory--the same
Then tried to flash via card HERALD.ASerg.Micro4.WM61R.WWE.SD.LZX.03.12.90
But nothing happens.
I made goldcard with qmat, security=0,
Copy 2 files hearimg.nbh and heradiag.nbh
but entering bootloader, nothing happens, just as usual bootloader
You've posted the same thing TWICE. Please refrain from doing so. This could result in a day ban if it were up to some.
There is no reason to post twice.
You can't flash the official RUU when your hardSPL unless you use USPL and it will erase the HardSPL. (or using the goldcard.)
If nothing happens when you go into the bootloader, your SD card is not formatted properly or is too slow.
There are many threads on this.

[How-to] Flash NEW SPL WITHOUT GOLDCARD

Well I looked around before flashing a new SPL, and I could never find a guide where I could actually follow. I was too lazy to get a 'Goldcard' and do it.. and since I had 2 MT3Gs, I didn't really care if 1 bricked.
Did it successfully with both MyTouch's
REQUIRES ROOT | REQUIRES ROOT | REQUIRES ROOT | REQUIRES ROOT | REQUIRES ROOT | REQUIRES ROOT | REQUIRES ROOT
Here are my steps, just saying, don't follow if you don't want to..
But I take no responsibility if you brick your phone or any other damages towards your phone, or your mental state.

Since this is a MyTouch phone, you should have the latest Radio (2.22.19.26I), if not update your Radio.. look around.
Check your SPL first, if it's the stock SPL that you have on your MT3G then you can do it, mine was 1.33.0006.
Download a custom SPL. I got mine from Haykuro's 1.33.2005
then I just followed TheUnlockr's instruction below:
Plug in your phone and mount the SD card (pull down on the notification bar and select the SD card notification then click Mount in the pop up window).
After the SD card shows up on the computer, put the SPL zip file on to the memory card (NOT in any subfolders on the memory card, just on the memory card itself) and then rename the file to update.zip (most computers, you do not type the .zip part, it automatically puts it in for you so just as long as the file is called update and there is a Zip folder icon to the left of it still, you are fine. Leave it like that).
Once it is done transferring to the memory card and you have renamed it, unplug the phone from the computer.
Turn off the phone and then turn it back on by holding down the Home and Power button to get to recovery mode (keep holding it until the recovery screen with the writing and black background come up).
Once the recovery screen is up, click on Wipe Data. Once that is done, click on Apply Update.zip and wait for it to finish.
Once it is done, click Reboot Device (if it doesn’t reboot and shuts off and shows a black screen instead, hit the power button as if to turn it on. WE NEED IT TO REBOOT AS IT LOADS SOMETHINGS DURING START UP).
Once the device has finished starting to boot up and gets to the MyTouch logo (make sure that it has rebooted once, but not all the way to the homescreen. Also it may reboot to the recovery image, that is fine). Take out the battery and put it back in if it tried to goto the homescreen but got stuck at the logo.
If you have Amon Ra's Recovery 1.4+ You don't have to rename it. Just press Flash Zip, and choose the SPL and flash it.
Actually, this is the basic procedure to install a new SPL... It's exactly the same that Amon_Ra describe in his thread...
This only works if you have a rooted phone with a custom recovery installed if I'm right...
You don't need a goldcard to flash a newer SPL if you have root.

Ohh I didn't know cause I had root, but there was never a guide I could really understand..
-_-" ........... hope fail
Nice try! But if your mobile is already rooted you don't have a perfect SPL which require goldcard or other more difficult methods to be able to flash stuff
Sorry for my noobness but I flashed the Haykuro SPL on a G1 and part of the process was reflashing a rom afterward, is this also part of the process for the MT3G?
If you already have root, all you have to do is install the new spl by recovery...

Yeah, I flashed my SPL and then flashed my ROM afterwards.
Thanks PlzHELP for bringing this up!
I already have a custom ROM installed (thus rooted) and I just want to flash my SPL so I can overcome fastboot remote: not allow error. This thread somehow clear things up for me. Thanks guys!
Worked without a problem, thanks PLZHELP!

Flash ROM From SD Card?

Is it possible to flash a ROM Image from an SD Card like the Hermes?
It is supposed to load a valid signed ROM. I think the SPL will not allow to load custom ROMs. If you lookup the "Gold Card" related information it should work for the Tornado as well.
As we can SuperCID the Tornado, possibly it will also load any signed ROM. Not sure about custom ROMs. I tried it with the VOX and it only worked for signed ROMs. Never tried for the Tornado though...

Cant overwrite ROM

Hello Guys.
About a lot of months i flashed TPCs Stocklike Rom to my device. Now i thought it might is time for an update.
But i got a huge problem :
When Flashing an other rom the device comes to bootloader and starts transfer/unpacking/whatever up to 100%.
After that my old TPC Rom reboots again.
What can i do?
Very much thanks for help
Copy the new rom that you want to flash onto the root of your sd-card and rename it to kaisimg.nbh. Reboot your phone into the bootloader and re-flash. That should do it.
Try flashing back to your stock rom first.
I already tried flashing the stock... that did not work for me.
Blinkydamo i flashed using the SD Card. The Screenshows update success.
Then i do a softreset an the old TPC rom boots again.

Any other ideas how to solve my problem ?
Put your phone into bootloader screen and see what it says for hardspl, maybe you just need to upgrade your hardspl.
3.29 - Flashing a new HardSPL doesnt work too
Most ROMS don't have new boot screens, some of the Chefs cook them in but others don't, are you sure it isn't just the old boot screen you're seeing, if the ROM flash has reached 100 % the Flash must have worked ?

Well is my phone unfixable ?
have you checked spl version in bootloader as denko7 said?
same problem
I am having the same problem.
MTTY says that BLOCK 1639 (0x667) is a bad block. Everytime I flash something (a new rom, stock rom, spl), it goes to 100% but it doesnt change anything as if i havent flashed. I am using TPC 11 rom, somtime it says that storage memory is full, and then when i do reset, everything is gone as if I did a master reset.
I am using TPC 11 rom

If you still have an old rom on your SD and put a new rom on there and try to flash, the phone will flash the first available file. If flashing using SD card , make sure that you have deleted all other rom image files first.
I was trying this how to :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371154
but the commands listed are not working for my MDA Vario III (T-Mobile Brand).
For me task 8 = Reboot
I found out, that task 28 = Format
I got following output :
Code:
Cmd>task 28
Format start
Storage start sector=0x84C0, total sector=0x125C0
Storage start block=552, total block=1175
Total Bad Block in CE: 3
Erase physical block from 845 to 1999
si backup: Erase physical block from 2032 to 2048
But even after that im not able to flash a new rom.
Was that the right format?
