Hi vistar,
Hopefully, you will have it sorted out by Christmas!
Yes, it is Vista problem and you need to change the USB Vista driver in your PC to XP driver.
I don't mean changing the Windows Mobile Device Center to Active Sync 4.5!
But the USB drivers. Look here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
I believe that the first post should solve your problem. If not try the others. Basically, in Device Manager of your PC, the USB driver should be the old XP driver dated 2004!
Any other year won't do you good!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!

It is highly recommended NOT to use Vista ... even with the proposed driver patch.
I have developed a Radio ROM issue because of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347375
If you are using Vista, it is highly recommended for you to use Virtualisation and install XP.
I have been using XP under VMware forever without problems as far as flashing my Qtek is concerned ... until my Vista mis-adventure that is. I know that VMWare is not free, but you may want to give http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx a try.

I flash my two Universal at least once a day under Vista with no problems at all.
Flashing Radio, CE ROM and ExtROM with Vista hasn't created any problem for me.
Vista like XP automatically install latest update from Microsoft site, this update also includes drivers too.
Just before flashing make sure that your old 2004 driver is not changed to the latest 2006 or 2007 driver!
That's all folks,
KOR!

will try the threads above thanks, i have tried in vista, and also i use vmware too, with xp pro spâ. which seems to work better but get error ăđă, radio update error, i think i have wiped the radio??? as when the first screen comes up it says:

Radio:
EXT Rom:
Bla bla:
to:
Radio: 2.?.??
EXT Rom: 2.2.??
Bla bla: 2.2.??
I cant remember what numbers came up, but it was blank at top and version numbers at bottom.
any help would be grateful

ok i got it to work , through vmware, i ran PsiDOC_WM5_20041_Taster, which worked think its WM̀ still but its back on, I want WM̉ though, i'll try again.. some advice wouldn't go a miss. thanks.
Note: If anyone has problems blame vista..... Good OS, Bad PDA Partner...

ok every rom i try fails with the following: Error 114, Radio Rom Upgrade error.
why is this??? i have looked through the wiki and forum, people have had this problem before, but no answers.
I have this when WM5 loads up,

42.42.p8
2.00.41 WWE
and bootloader v2.01 (G4)
just incase this info is needed.

If you have tried all the links I have given, you could have easily upgraded the ROM to Windows Mobile 6.
Read carefully, my above post #3.
Did you know that you could just flash the CE ROM (Main ROM), if the Radio is not flashing.
KOR!

KOR support center !!!

How do i Flash that alone? do i just remove the radio file from the WM6 folder and run RUU again??? just to confirm...
Thanks M8 much appreciated.

Read the four links, I have given you.
1. nk.nbf (CE ROM - Main ROM)
2. ms_.nbf (Extended ROM - Storage ROM)
3. radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
If the ROM is in .exe format, than excute the ROM without hooking your universal to the PC. In the temporary folder, you will find all the files.
Read,
KOR!

sorry what i meant was how do i flash the files to the device??? i have all the files ready..
do i remove radio from folder then execute RRU? or do i use a different way?

Thanks for your support KOR!!!
the later worked perfectly on my G4 device, i ran the update without the device attached, put into bootloader, and found all files in temp directory, then removed the radio file. connected the bootloaded device, then ran the update, it worked straight away, only in xp/vmware though.
Thankyou..... I really mean that KOR..

Hi Vistar,
You are welcome. If you download the drivers from the first link in post #3, then you can use Vista without any problems to flash your device.
Just make sure that the driver is dated 2004 before flashing the device. Check the driver for the Portable Devices ->USB Disk in the Device Manager of your PC.
Best Regards,
KOR!
BTW, I did reply to your PM.

Perhaps that's because both your Unis are G3 - and mine is a G4.

First attempt at ROM Flashing

Please don't flame me but I've got a n00b question for you.
This is my first GSM phone as I've just come off of a CDMA network so I've never flashed a ROM before. I've gone through a lot of the posts that I've seen on the forum and on the wiki and I just want to clarify steps before I brick my phone.
I just picked up a new AT&T Tilt w/out the camera yesterday and I'd love to experiment with the new ROM that Dutty just released. Here are the steps as I understand them:
1) Download HardSPL for Kaisers onto my Vista computer
2) Attach the data cable from my computer to my Tilt and verify that the ActiveSync icon is green
3) Run kaiser-hardSPL.exe from the computer
4) After this has completed execute a HardReset
5) Download the Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 Rom to my Vista computer
6) Keeping the data cable attached verify that the ActiveSync icon is still green
7) Run the Kaiser_RUU.exe from my computer
8) Perform a HardReset again
9) Keeping the data cable attached verify that the ActiveSync icon is still green
10) Download the 1.27.12.17 version of the radio since I'm currently on .11.
11) Decompress the package
12) Run the CustomRUU.exe
13) Perform a HardReset
14) Go to Dutty's site, click on the paypal link, and show the love!
After this everything should work. Will I need to perform the keyboard fix at this time or is that already incoporated? Have I left any steps out? Anything in here completely wrong? Any suggestions what so ever?
Thanks in advance!!!

sounds like u have it all figured out. good job.
and yes, install the keyboard fix.

Any potential issues since I haven't "unlocked" the phone?

none that i know of. good luck.

Outstanding!!! Thank you for giving me a sanity check.

glad i could help. good luck w/ the roms. once youve done 1 it gets alot easier. just dont forget to hard reset. i did and had to flash all over.

Error 260 when upgrading

First off, I have read every thread mentioning error 260, every wiki about upgrading, and have not been able to fix my problem.
I am trying to upgrade to Schap's newest 6.0 ROM, not the 6.1. I currently have the OEM 5.0 ROM that came on the device from AT&T. I can connect via activesync perfectly. No issues there at all. When I run the upgrade program, it gets all the way to the status bar showing 0% or 1%, then the phone and computer disconnect the activesync connection, the phone goes back to the today screen, and my computer shows error 260.
I have seen posts saying I need to install HardSPL. I tried that and get error 260 there also.
I have seen posts about installing JumpSPL, I tried that and it only locks the phone up. I must do a soft reset to bring it back to life.
I found the instructions on upgrading the ROM via the SD card. I followed those and renamed the .nbh file and copied it to the fat32 formatted sd card in the phone. Where do the rest of the files go??? The .nbh file cannot possibly contain the entire rom, right? The instructions leave that part out from what I can see.
Help!

u have the at&t OEM 5.0 rom?? are u sure u are in the right device forum?
and yes the nbh file contains the whole rom

Installing HardSPL is not optional...it is a requirement. This is what allows a non-factory ROM to be installed on the phone. If it's a Tilt, there have been all sorts of issues with HardSPL installing on different Tilt revisions (most of which have been fixed, I believe). Go directly to the stickies. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Once you have HardSPL on your phone...DO NOT FLASH THE ROM YET. Go directly to the Wiki for the Tilt. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Why? Because if you weren't aware that you absolutely positively MUST have HardSPL installed before trying to flash a ROM...you haven't read enough. Sorry if I sound like I'm being short with you...I'm really not. I'm just trying to keep you from bricking your phone.
Edit: oh...good catch XtreMe...didn't even register the 5.0 reference when I read that...perhaps a Hermes (or rather...Cingular 8525)?

ah ha! Wrong forum. I started in the Hermes thread, and through all my searching must have ended up in the Kaiser thread. Sorry! I will repost over there.

Happened to me a few times and some posts said to turn off the firewall.
After some testing I found a change which allowed a USB connection to my Kaiser.
Make sure your firewall allows the application "wcescomm.exe" to have full access via your firewall.
This applies to application based firewalls like McAfee. For port based firewalls you will need to find out the ports used for inbound and outbound comms.
That I cannot help with.
Hope that helps you.

Also you may need to run as either a superuser or administrator under Windows. I run my machine as a restricted user and I got the same error.

Help With Updating Kaiser Rom. Error 262

Hi All,
I have been searching and not able to find a solution that works with the problem i am having upgrading my rom.
I was trying to upgrade to either or L26_KaiserTouch_V1M2D.rar or L26KDV12_Full.rar
roms, and after unpacking, running the utilities i keep hitting the same wall.
I have two pcs i have tried on, a laptop and a desktop both running xp.
Uninstalled active sync reinstalled etc etc
even tried the hard spl after using MTTY to try and solve the problem.
I still get error 262, even with hard spl which runs a different rom update.
tried different usb ports, unplugged most devices to the basics, restarts etc make no change to it.
Then i tried a fat32 micro sd card with the rom named as KAISIMG.nbh
and after using MTTY as listed by Laurentius26, it will show loading but not just sits there for more than 10 mins!
Hopefully someone can come up with a solution or has had the same probs.
As you could probably imagine i have a moderate grasp of this kinda stuff but i think its now beggining to drive me crazy!
Cheers,
Nathan

you have already Hspl 3.29 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
also if you don't have WWE phone.. (English language)
you must unlock your phone with this steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361236
and on activesync settings you must check usb connecting..
try the usb from your mouse to see if working...
good luck
also try AthineOS Manila Edition Rom hehehehe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435345

Had a go at putting on Hardspl 3.56 also 3.29. even the forced Usb versions.
I can update to any standard Kaiser/Tytn2 Rom but any of these other cooked roms seem to give me grief.
I even thought perhaps i could run the other original rom update, so i did that and copied the different Nbh files in and renamed to what the original rom was but it still wouldn't allow me to get to where i wanted to get.
Is there any special way i can get Hardspl onto my device?
Can i copy it to the sd card and load it thru a bootloader?
This error 262 is driving me nuts!
I spent well over 4 hours of constant messing about and testing any possible solutions.
plus a further 2 today!
This is my last resort!
I'll be more than happy to donate to these rom developers once i get one working.
Even attempted the manilla AthineOS without luck.
I keep reading about the JumpSPL and SSPL, is anyone able to explain or link to where i can get it for the Kaiser ?
OR is it the same thru the whole series ?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
There is SOOO much to learn!
The more you know the more you realise you dont know!!

Use jump spl first, I reccomend 1.56, then install your spl of choice, I personally use 3.56
Place jump spl on your phone and run it from the phone, keeping your usb cord attached, you will get a tri colored screen. Now in active sync comm settings uncheck allow usb commections. unplug the usb cord wait 30 seconds and plug it back in. then from your pc open the folder hard spl and run kaiserRUU and after its done go back to active sync allow usb connections and flash your ass off.

Woo Hoo!!
Finally i got it working, I was beggining to think perhaps there was something stupidly wrong with my pc or the Tytn!
Thank you very much for your reply KD8DNS, Also thanks to b16b After so many hours of mucking round i've finally got it sorted!
Now running Kaiser Diamond V12, it works very well.
Will be looking to change to many other roms in the near future!
Cheers,

Problem to downgrade

Hi guys, i have the palm treo 750 with the wm 6.5 and o need to go back to the original wm 5.0. I've tried everything but no results. i put the rom in my sd card in did the hard-reset, but didn't loading at all, i tried many differents roms, but none of them worked. It shows that tri colour screen with these informations: Palm Tr ( IPL- 0.20)
Palm tr (SPL- 0.24.0000
Another thing my treo doesn't connect with pc, so i have to to do everything with sd card.
I'm using windows 7 64bits.
Please help me i need to downgrade
Thanks

You can't flash a ROM from an SD card without doing a successful HardSPL first. By virtue of your post (SPL- 0.24.0000) you haven't done it correctly yet.
I don't know if there is a way to HardSPL the phone from an SD card. Search this forum to see if anyone has reported doing it.
PS ... don't go back to WM5. There are many official and stable versions of WM6.0 which is much better than WM5.

Thx, but i still not having any result, if anybody else can help, pls, i'm trying everything.

Well, obviously you aren't trying everything ... like doing simple research.
A quick Google search turned up that Palm doesn't have (or plan to put out) a 64bit USB driver for the Treo 750. That would explain why you can't connect it to your PC.
This thread on the subject is pretty old, but then again, so is the phone ...
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/crawl_message?board.id=activesync&message.id=2978
So, you might want to find a PC with a 32bit OS on it and try getting your Treo to sync to it instead. If that works, then installing a factory ROM will be fairly easy. Keep in mind, you might have to edit the payload.xml file because the installer will see a more recent version of the ROM already on your phone (assuming you really have WM6.5 on it now).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345531
There are plenty of official WM6.0 ROMs available. That would be your best option. You can find many of them here:
http://rapidshare.com/users/PJNMEM/?byfilename=1&password=&subpassword=

Problem solved, just install a program that made my mobile come back to the wm 5.0.
Thanks all

You might want to share your solution with the board in case others have the same issue and need help.
