Thanks for the fast reply.
I used that guide serveral times but with no results....

And why u want to cid-unlock phone?? U can flash it anyway with shelltool.
Just use the rom for wizard.

shell tool on an G3 device?!

Yeah?!!?
With this tool and my instruction you could:
1) Get info about ROM
2) Extract only OS from whole nk.nbf
3) Flash this OS to your G3/G4 CID LOCKED Device (even wm6 rom or latest aku 3.3 rom).
In atachment there are:
1) ShellTool.doc - instruction. Read first and please, follow it step by step!!!
2) ShellTool.exe with some other files that it need
3) Cert_SPCS.cab/EnableRapi.cab - should be installed on your device
etc...

Do you have a link for me?!

And ofcourse.Please, read all the sticky treads. They are very very usefull and u can find the answer quicker, than posting the questions here.
have a nice day

Thanks, i already found the link.
I'm a little bit afraid to mess up my device...
Is it very riskfull to flash it with shelltool?!

Hard to tell. This mda is my 1st win mobile device and when i flashed it 3 weeks ago i was also nervous. But if u will follow the steps in tutorial, nothing bad will happen. If something go wrong, just get the phone in bootloader mode and try flash again.
I was especialy nervous, when i flashed t-mobile rom to nbd and the phone didnt start up. It just show the 1st picture ips/spl, when u turn the phon on and here stoped.I was really pissed offf, why the hell was i flashing the good working phone. heheheh But, when i after 25 min. (cause, the buttons in 1 tutorial didnt work) got the phone in bootloader mode i was really happy. This mess happen again 1 week ago, but i knew how to operate.
Close all AV, msn, adaware etc.. and flash it.
Today i will flash my g4 with nbd 8.2 8mb pool. This version, whic i have now, with 6mb is very slow. Dont know why, but the phone is unusefull. nbd 8.1 and 8.0 worked flawless compare to 8.2 6mb. ?????? Can anybody explain that??
----------------
i am sorry for all vocabulary and ~tense~ mistakes.

Is the [final] - Wrcx 5.2.1437 a good one to try out?!

I cant tell u that. Dont have experiences. I try only NBD roms.
U have to know g3 or g4, cid-lock/unlock ...
ipl/spl musn^t be included in rom , etc...
Read the treads about upgrading.I am a real noob in win mobile upgrading and all the stuff connected.

For a noob your talking very expert
Please give me a simpel guide for installing NBD v8.2 ?!
Thanks m8!
I have a G3.
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.21
OS 2.21.25

Yihaa, i've got the Wrcx 2 working, damn its hot!!!
Does anybody knows how to user TouchFLO?

Ive got it, i have to press the voicedial button, but after using it, it automaticly shuts down again, so i have to press the button again?!

U got it!!
Are u talking about commanager?? Pres touchflow and then slide to the right or left. U close the "cube" if u slide up. To open the cube u have to press the touchflow and slide again. work perfect.
Another great release is iphone contactmanager. works perfect and it looks even better. http://www.savefile.com/files/970745

Brainless & Confused

Sorry guys & gals. New to this but cannot get a handle on the right thing to do. Can anybody help? Yes have read the basics but its not basic to me I am afraid.
I have got an HTC TYTNII from Orange. Need to unlock the sim card lock. Then would like to clear out all the Orange rubbish with a rom flash I think its called (havent got all the words right just yet). However as I paid a few quid forthe phone do not really wish to stew it!! If you know what I mean Harry! Cannot find hardspl etc on so on have ativesync fitted and running. All help greatly appreciated.

This webpage has a ton of files that have been extremely helpful to me so far...
http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/

dont really know how to help
but
if you want to use hardspl is on the sticky thread
activesync can be downloaded from ms depending on the os you are using.
if you want more help tell me what you need and i will guide you
satiros

Lots of reading
I suggest you do lots more reading.
However, as a starter, go to :
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/kaiser-unlock.php
Pay for the unlocking service.
Then, and only then, install HardSPL
Following that, you can install any ROM you like (for Kaiser / TYTN II)
If you install a ROM based on Windows Mobile 6.1, chances are you will have to install a new Radio coding too. You should install the one for UK Vodaphone on :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Radio
Don't worry, it works on Orange, I have it on mine.
I recommend the Alex ROM even though it is still a Beta version, it is very good.
After you install the ROM and done a hard reset (keep both soft buttons pressed down whilst pressing the reset button with your stylus) install the radio, then do another hard reset.
Bingo, it's like a different phone.

Thanks for the info have carried out the first bit awaiting reply. Where can I download HardSPL please? Having looked at your recommended ROMs Which one?.. wow some cooking I can see I will be Flashing all day!!

if you cannot look & find it right there in one of the sticky threads of this forum ... I'd suggest you do not attempt any flashing to your device !!!
as some of those stickies contained mandatory informations that you need to READ THOROUGHLY !!!

new user needs help

I've got a o2 xda neo..........
i don't know anything related to upgradation (not even basics)....................
i want to upgrade my device from wm5 to wm6 ..........
can somebody help me how to upgrade..............
plz suggest me the simplest way including the basics for beginner.............
thnx..............................................

The simplest way is read the treads or the wiki. The hardest way is to send the prophet and someone flashed it for you.

You can start here. Make sure you read up plenty....that's the best way to get familiar with all the stuff around your phone.

Follow these instructions step by step:
1. Read the upgrade guide by Animelover carefully.
Current upgrade guide for the most ROMs
2. After reading and understanding it carefully, you should ponder over this thread by dioxda2:
FLASHING TOOL For all nk.nbf (WM6.1), 3 color bootup? SOLUTIONS read post 1.........
3. Download LazyTool and upgrade, it includes CloudFa's ROM.
4. Here is my favourite ROM, you may try it out:
Prophet ROM CE OS 5.2.19974 M2D (Build 19974.1.2.8 PV )
Im pretty sure youll have no problem after following the above instructions.

Unlocking/CID/SPL

I don't believe anything has changed in regards to installing a HardSPL to a phone. I've been following the same procedures for the last year or two. The Jump Spl files are used when changing / updating your HardSPL via ActiveSync (the only way I do it). Following the instructions on the thread below works like a charm, I've never had a problem. The instructions say HardSPL v3.29, but you can use any of the current HardSPL's just the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835

Fair enough, as im used to just hardspl'ing the device rather than jumpspl then hardspl.. will do it by the book though when i get my new one (if i manage to sell my poxy blackberry!!!)

All the SPL types are on the SPL Questions wiki page in detail, so I'll save myself repeating.
The reason for the 1.* and 3.* different SPL versions is for WM 6.0 and 6.1 respectivly.
See my Hard SPL sticky for another breif overview.

Treo version

Hello everybody. I'm completely noob, so please have a little patience with me. I have a Treo 750 in italian, and my final goal is to flash it to wm6-english. But for start, i don't know what Treo i have. I read about Cingular, At&t, etc...
mine sais TREO750-1.16-H3I, h-ware version A, firmware version 1.27.0b.00.
So whom am i talking to every day? Is there a special version of wm6 for my phone?
I thought i'l start from here. Any help would be appreciated...

Ok... noone? At least tell me how I can figure if my phone is unlocked or unbrenched...
Or could someone point me to a tutorial-thread of flashing the phone... from the beginning to the end.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_WM6
Maybe you'll find something around here for the beginning, ...

Stupi ... it doesn't matter which Treo you have when it comes to flashing ROMs.
Just do the HardSPL first. That way you can pick the English language ROM of your choice to flash and it will work. You also get the benefit of unlocking the phone so it can be used on any GSM network.
Ideally, you'd be best to pick an English ROM provided by the same company that provides your cellular service, but it is not required. If you pick one from another cell company (or a hacked one) then you might have to enter your network settings manually, but that's the only difficult part.
Plenty of resources in this forum. Do some searching and you'll find everything you need. Good luck!

One question, thought... i could'n find the answer on the forum. I downloaded the unlocher, but it sais it only works with spl 1.11, at least... Mine is 0.22.
I tried then to update with RUU_Hermes_QTEK_WWE_2.11.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe, but in the "current information about your pda phone" it didn' recognize my pda. I got affraid of bricking it.
So, it seems to me my first problem is updating the spl from 0.22 to 1.11. But I cannot find the software to do this..

Come on men, this has to be simple. I need some help here, please. I'm stuck up with wm5 over a week now...
so, the first thimg I must do, a hard-spl, that's what I understood. This can be done with ceetah_unlocker.
Ok, i launch the application, and it sais it can't start only with 1.11 spl. Mine is 0.22.0000
So the first thing i have to do is update this 0.22 spl to 1.11. Am I right?
But how?

Find one of the WM6.0 desktop updaters and try installing that. They don't require a HardSPL first.
Use one of the following:
AT&T English: Treo750_2_25_ATT_EN_DesktopUpdater.zip
Rest of World English: Treo750_2_23_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater.zip
Three Australia: Treo750_2_19_H3E_DesktopUpdater.zip
Vodaphone UK English: Treo750_2_18_VFU_DesktopUpdater.zip
I don't have any links as they aren't hosted by Palm anymore. You should be able to find them by looking around the XDA Forum, or by searching the net and/or torrent sites for the filenames above.

thanks a lot, man, but I lost my pathience and i run the cheetah_unlocker... and I didn't brick it. So, now I'm ready for the next step...
please, if anyone pm me with a win 6...

ok, my spl is ok (1.4), i put the CHEEIMG.nbh on my sd card, and I run the step 1 of cheetah unlocker. And nothing happens.. still boots with wm5. I even did a hard reset.
Man, i'm goig crazy... what am i missing?

Please, someone could upload again one of those 4 files? I could find neither of them with goolge.

So, i found the updater, but it won't update my phone since it's in italian...
guess I'll need to do it the hard way. Please, can someone point me a post or a tutorial to update from 5.0 to 6?

I must be missing something. I made those steps, all went ok. But how the heck do i change the windows version? That's my goal, not to flash the spl.
I got a win 6 image (i hope, at least), copied the CHEEIMG.nbh file on the card (which is fat 32), and i repeated step one from cheetah-unlocker. As I hoped that after flashing the new windows would automatically install. But nothing happened, the old win was up and running.
Come on man, I'm not such a bad person after all to deserve this... I may have killed a few birds or cats in my childhood, but this is too much... you're killing me.. I'm stuck in this spagetti windows, and I can't upgrade to a normal english windows... what the heck am i missing?

well, if you haven't gotten it sorted by now, hope this helps: once you've hard spl'd, put the new image that you want to flash in the root on your card [<2gb, fat32 formatted] and then hold media and push reset. your phone will cycle into the bootloader [rgb screen], detect the image and ask if you want to flash.
