Orange SPV M600 (HTC Prophet) Stuck in Bootloader

Guys,
I wonder if you can help. I have trawled this and many other forums and found many people that are having problems with their HTC Prophet or variations of the same device.
I have the Orange SPV M600, it was in my pocket and when I took it out to turn it on, it was displaying the bootloader screen after seemingly soft resetting itself. It is displaying the tri-colour bootloader with the following IPL/SPL
- IPL 2.10.0001 - SPL 2.10.0001
I have tried the following things that I have found in the forums:
1. Taking the battery out for 10 minutes ~ Still the same.
2. Hard Reset ~ I get the "Press SEND button to factory restore" message
but nothing happens when I push the call button.
3. Reflashing the ROM ~ I am unable to do this. I only have Vista and
WMDC does not see the phone in bootloader mode.
Is the phone dead? If so how could this have happened?
If anyone could help I would be eternally greatful. Oh and to add another complication the phone is still CID Locked
Thanks in advance
Barry

well if you where is south africa i would of helped you im sure if you have it runing on xp it will work my jamin did the same and all i did was push the camera button and reseted it got into tri colour mode and reflashed it
sorry that i could not help you but like i said if you in SA we could of tried it on my mashine

Any progress ?
did you ever get this sorted out ? Surely all you're gonna need is a PC with XP and active sync....
If I was closer you could have sent the phone to me and I would have had a go at reflashing the rom, but I'm at the other end of the country....

hopin i will get my solution

First of all, download the NVID (no vender) AKU2.2 from here. http://rapidshare.com/files/17208693/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe
Then, open activesync, select connection settings and UNCHECK the connect through USB option.
Then run the NVID file. It will take a while, and may seem to get stuck at 80% or 95%. Just leave it alone.
When that's done, you can either use it as it is, or load anyother ROM you want.

i have a bit similar problem
can some one plese guide me how to flash it with xp?????
Regards

First get a version of ActiveSync, any will do, but more recent is probably better. Then download the ROM (see above). In ActiveSync>Connection Settings uncheck the Connect through USB option. Then connect the Prophet.
Next Unzip the NVID file, and run RUU_PROPHET... This will flash your Prophet with a very basic ROM. If you then want to upgrade to a different ROM follow these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310452

failure on upgrading treo 750

hi there,
i have tried to upgrade my treo 750v with the cheetah spl1.40 bootloader and the pro black v3.0.1 upgradeto wm6.
he said it was succesfully done but now i have a dark screen and i can't do anything.
i still can come into the cheetah boot-mode,and tried to install again but it didn't work.
is there another option to go back to wm5 or to make wm6 work.
in the boot-mode trying to upgrade or downgrade via sd card won't work (he says loading for a few seconds but the return to cheetah boot-mode).
please help!
thanks

Remve the battery, wait a couple of seconds, put the battery again and reset
V.

doesn't work

Stuck in the bootloader

Hi all,
Trying to update to a WM6 rom, i may have done something wrong...
After formating as described in the guide, I can't communicate with the unit (in the RUU : error 260 update error).
On the bootloader screen, I can read :
"Tornado
IPL 1.00
Tornado
SPL 1.00.0008
Tornado 1U"
I've tried on 2 different XP PC's, no luck.
Any advice you can give to me ?
Thanks.

Load IPL/SPL from SD card ?
Having done a few mor searches :
- On another Tornado I own, I can read IPL & SPL are 2.00x. So my problem should come from them. I may have used a ROM with wrong versions. With this other Tornado, a small "USB" can be seen in the lower left corner of the bootloader. It never appears anymore with the broken one.
- I can flash this other Tornado without problem from the same PC, so the problem may not be on the PC.
- It seems that you can flash directly from the SD card : put a ROM with a specific name and boot. Anybody knows how to do that ? It could be a solution to gain access to my Tornado, and be able to use the usual tools.
Sorry if my questions are a bit stupid, but I'm no more in an area I know... I'm learning the hard way how to deal with all this !
Thanks.

Do a hard reset. I'm quite busy right now but do this: hold both left and right soft key and at the same time press the power on button. Press the zero key when prompted. You may have to try a few times as he timing is important.
Good luck!

try to format BINFS with the mtty or the tera term tool it may work...and then fla**** again

I did it a few times : I'm asked to press the zero key, press it, can see the i-mate screen during 1 second, a white screen during 1 second, and then the bootloader 3 colours...

These tools need to communicate between the PC and the phone, and I can't right now.

I have the same exact problem as you! I've flashed my Qtek 8310 with T-Mobile SDA rom (which is compatible...) since then.. My bootloader shows exactly the same as you, and when I plug the USB there is not the "USB" showing on the bottom left...
In addition to that, when I load up normally, it's stays stuck at the first T-Mobile logo screen...
Did you came out with a solution? I've tried Hard Reset too, but it didn't help, on the contrary... Now I'm stuck at bootloader and I do not get even the T-Mobile screen...

Treo 750 WM 6.1 upgrade help!!!

Hi all im new to these forums and the treo 750. I've been reading all about upgrading the treo to the cooked 6.1 roms and radio updates. I've never done this and have NO idea how to do it...I keep reading about flashing the ROM from the miniSD and different things...But is there a step by step instruction on how to do any of this stuff???

has someone helped you?

a guide
Here is a guide, from my experience and from XDA forum :
1. Download the rom file and the radio file:
Rom file from here : http://rapidshare.com/files/89355384/Treo750_WM6.1_WWE_Lite.rar
(It is the lite version but I recommend the normal version.)
The radio file from here :
http://rapidshare.com/files/89336971/Treo750Radio1.54.07.00.rar
2. Download the Hard-SPL from here :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Cheetah/Unlocker/CheetahUnlocker.rar
3. Format mini SD card 32 FAT , using a card reader or other way.
4. Do a HARD-SPL with the CheetahUnlocker file ( step 2) . Connect the Treo with your computer using Active sync and run the file. Use those steps:
- Click the Step 1.... wait the progress bar reach 100%
- Now watch the Screen on your PDA it will launch 2 times verification...
- just click YES ...wait.. and YES again.
- after finisih... wait until the activesync go green again.....
- Now click the Step 2... wait the progress bar reach 100%
- Watch the screen again... same thing.. it will launch 2 times verification.
- click YES ...wait.. and YES again.
- After finish it your PC screen will shows some popup. ignore the reading bla bla bla... about ask u to click ok.
- Just wait untill your activesync go green again.
- Now click that bloody Popup OK button.
- The unlocker app will shows up again..
- Then you will see errors saying.. continue, cancel...etc... bla bla... just click continue.. error message.. iqnore it and then just finish it.
- Now your Cheetah should be on HARD SPL mode.
5. Install the ROM :
a. Using Winrar get the file from step 1. It's name should be : CHEEIMG.nbh
b. Copy the file to the root of the mini SD .
c. Do BOOTLOADER:
1. turn phone on
2. press the MEDIA button AND at the same time with the stylus the RESET PIN
the MEDIA button is the 3rd button on the left side of the phone, under the volume button
the RESET PIN is under the MINI SD card cover
3. keep holding the MEDIA button (left side of phone) until you get the 3 color screen
Wait until it finishes. Then Hard reset the device when prompted. To hard-reset, hold the End key while pressing the pin reset button. Answer “yes” to “Erase all data” prompt.
6. Flash the radio at the same way – just copy the radio file to the mini Sd – it should be the same name. (CHEEIMG.nbh ) .
And that it all !!
Do not restore from your backup (You can restore only your data files).
As I said I recommend the normal 6.1 version and not the lite one - I tried both.
one more thing - maybe before doing the upgrade to 6.1 - try to upgrade to 6.0 version from Palm , and only then upgrade to 6.1 version .

Hi Libal:
I just read your great step-by-step Windows Upgrade instructions! Very nice!
I've also gone round and round trying to figure out the exact way to unlocking my Treo 750. It is Cingular USA branded, and currently has Windows 5 on it.
Do you know of a similar step-by-step guide to unlocking my Treo 750?
I bought my 750 about two weeks ago, and I've been trying to unlock it since!
Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure but I think that it should be the same way
but maybe first upgrade to official 6.0 . ( because of the .net support) .
There are other ways to unlock the phone- look in the forum.

[but maybe first upgrade to official 6.0 . ( because of the .net support) .]
Do I have to upgrade Windows to unlock the phone? Which is the "official" upgrade?
[There are other ways to unlock the phone- look in the forum. ]
That's the problem! I've read through the forum over and over, and I'm confused as to what to do!

the steps mentioned above is the unlocker process. have you tried the unlocker yet. what does it do? are you getting stuck somewhere doing the process. ive been there all cofused too. need to know more info in order to try and help.

Hi nuwayman:
I have not yet tried the unlock, because I'm so confused! I thought the procedure in this thread was to upgrade Windows, not unlock?
Isn't the Hard-SPL the unlock process?
This is why I haven't started! Every time I think I know enough to begin, I find something more confusing!
For example, the post above is very specific, and easy to understand. Until the end, when he says this:
...maybe before doing the upgrade to 6.1 - try to upgrade to 6.0 version from Palm , and only then upgrade to 6.1 version...
So, what's the correct way? Go straight to 6.1, or do 6.0 first?
Other threads seem to say that 6.1 is a problem, and that 6.0 is better. So, which is it!
Anyway, I need to unlock, so where do I start?

i would start with upgrading to wm6.0. you shouldnt have to do unlocker process to upgrade stock rom.start there first.

I just upgraded my Treo750
With Regard to upgrading from Palm, I doubt you will find the upgrade anymore on the Palm website, I couldn't when I looked today. You may have to search the Forums for a 6.0 version or go directly to 6.1.
You will run into a problem with the upgrade process if you don't use a good Bootloader upgrader/unlocker. I tried five (5), the only one that worked was "Cheetah Unlocker" this first upgrades your Bootloader to HardSPL. That is critical to be able to update to WM6.1, (even from WM6.0). This upgrades the Bootloader (Step 1) as well as Unlocking the SIM (if neccesary) in step 2 and the Radio (if neccesary) in step 3. You can cancel out of the Program after Step 1 if you don't want to unlock your phone.
By the way, why not unlock it? Are you still under contract with your phone? Do you plan on returning the phone? If not, unlock it, it won't affect your phones capabilities.
The Cheetah Unlocker is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100
There are several wm6.1 ROM's
Here is a good one (worked awesome for me)
http://www.hawleytronics.com/downloads/tn-750wm61ug.php
Here is a "Lite" version.

Hope this helps.

will this work for my unlocked cingular phone, using it for T-mobile?

I couldn't get my 750 to upgrade this way. The unlocking worked fine, but the updating part never worked.
Why do you suggest doing it this way? Why not use an RUU? I have a Elfin as well and just copied the RUU files into a folder with my nbh file and it worked flawlessly. much easier then the way suggested here and works everytime.

is that a yes?

just did my treo 750 ...and it looks very much the same ...except for a few new progs..i thought the text would be different as well as the gui...am i missin something ?

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem and need urgent help please. I have ATT 750 unlocked and I'm outside the States now. My Treo was 6.0 then I upgrade it to 6.1 so far so good. Then I saw a custom rom that I thought it was interesting. the custom rom was for HTC Dimond I think. without paying too much attention. I started the upgrade. It went 70% before the upgrade crashed.
Now my Treo is not responding to anything. I have the original ATT 6.0 SD upgrade and I have the 6.1 lite upgrade. I'm using CheetahUnlocker to flash the SPL (that is working) but when I try to install the 6.0 or 6.1 using Kaiser Custom RUU v1 it crash.
Any suggestion please? need more info? then let me know
Thanks in advance
Sam

A question concerning the CheetahUnlocker. When trying to follow the steps indicated, the following happens:
Step 1: the progress bar never moves, the phone goes to the 4 colored bar screen and sits; activesync indicates it has lost the connection; stays like this unti I soft reset. One the phone is back up the unlocker indicates the "DEVICE IS NOW PATCHED TO HARD-SPL"
Step 2: same as step one except following the soft reset the application indicates"==Radio Patched! Now Unlocking!==" but nothing actually seems to happen aside from getting an Unhandled exception error. Continuing past this error and nothing happens. .NET Framework 2.0 is currently installed (as are 3.0 and 3.5).
For both steps, when the application indicates the current information about the phone there is no Image Version listed. Neither of the steps shows any progress bar on the phone..just straight to what I think is the bootloader screen.
Anyone know what I am doing incorrectly?
*****EDIT*****
Please disregard at this point. I found that the bootloader was trying to read off of an older cheeimg file on the memory card instead of pulling from the host PC via USB. Removing the card seems to have done the trick.

This has become more of a problem than I though. Step 1 completes successfully but when it comes time to unlock the phone (after the first part of step 2) ActiveSync will not connect. Clicking ok results in the early mentioned unhandled exception error stating that a file cannot be found.
Additionally, I can no longer connect the phone using activesync.
Any ideas out there?

Another update: I have managed to get ActiveSync working again by removing it and reinstalling the application. However, I am still unable to get past step 2 of the unlocker. Again, the first part of step 2 completes (the radio replacement) but when I click OK to begin the second part (the unlock itself; instructions provided: click OK to begin and watch your phone's screen) I get the unhandled exception error reporting a missing file.
The instructions provided at the beginning of this thread indicate this error can be ignored and I should just click continue. I do this and nothing seems to happen. My computer sits with the CheetahUnlocker utility open and displaying "==Radio Patched! Now Unlocking!==" but nothing is sent to my phone. I have an activesync session going but nothing seems to be happening. Am I just not waiting long enough?
Please..can anyone help with this? At the very least can anyone tell me how to get the original radio installed as the unlocker indicates that without the proper radio it may not function well; and it doesn't.
Getting desperate here. Thanks in advance.

Never mind, everyone. This is no longer a concern. Took the easy way out and just bought a Fuze.

so my phone is already unlocked(dont know how, bought it from craigslist that way)...do i need to do this cheetahunlocker even though phone is already unlocked?
active sync is not working at all..i have tried for 2 days now and no sucess...
ok so i have cheeimg.ngh file on mini sd card and in phone, hit reset while holding media button(3rd one on left side)...it goe sto red, green, blue, white screen and says
Pal Tr IPL-0.20
Pal Tr SPL-0.21.0000
and it isnt doing anything else, any ideas?

My Treo 750 wont upgrade

Hello. I had a Treo 750 with the original os. After finding out the windows mobile 6.5 version that you guys had i tried it and it worked.
Well.. i saw another one that i thought was cooler... htc like and tried it on, i have installed using usb method and the installation went well. After I rebooted I got a 3 coloured screen.
Ever since that i have tried every method i could found, i tried flashing rom using mtty command
set 14 0
task 28
tas 0
than I installed the 6.5 version using my sd card. It all goes well untill at some point I get this on the screen:
CHEEIMG.nbh
SPLASH1 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - OK
OS - Fail
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
Any other CHEEIMG.nbh file i try i get the same error -.-
In some topic I saw that in this case I had to flash using the original rom, I have a Cingular device from the US (im not in the us), was a ATT rom that I have seen posted in the forum.
If I update this 6.5 CHEEIMG.nbh using the complete fix kit through usb it stops everytime in different percentages. It got stuck on 12% , 53% and others but never finishes..
I have also tried the original rom through cable mode using complete fix kit and it sais the CHEEIMG.nbh file is corrupted ...
Im about to loose my patience since i've been on this for days... can anyone give me a hand?
By The way Merry Chrystmas to you all
