A couple day ago I've installed a new ROM (Touch FLO Manila 2D) on my Herald using "FLASH CENTER". It has worked for some time, but after one rebooting the system didn't start any more - after turning on it appears a green screen for a pair seconds, then my Herald goes automatically down. And it repeats again and again... And it is not possible to restore the system though ActiveSync, because the Herald doesn't start at all.
I have looked through in this forum for possible rescue options. one of them seemed to be FLASHING FROM SD CARD. But this had no effect - a tricolor has appeared, but it happened nothing more. Probably there is possible to install a ROM this way on working WINDOWS MOBILE' s and not at broken.
I thought - may be it is possible to install a Windows Mobile on SD CARD (something like portable version) and so boot a system from SD Card ???
I hope you can help me.
Thanks.

This is the wrong forum for this. I have written a few guides on how "unbrick" the Herald.
You can flash just fine from the tricolor screen. (That's where the phone takes you automatically when you flash "from" windows mobile.) So no worries, you aren't out of luck. Worse case scenario, you search for the GoldCard method if nothing else works.
Hello!
Thank you for your help.
You say, I am on right way with my "tricolor screen". But why doesn't happen anything? May be:
- should I just take another SD Card? My is 1 GB - is it OK, too big, too small?
- did I something wrong with "flashing" methods? I did it 2 ways:
- just with any ROM-File in NBH-Format, which was renamed to HERAIMG.NBH and placed alone to the formated SD Card
- in addition to HERAIMG.NBH also other files (like "EnterBootloader.exe"), which are often inclusive in ROM- ZIPs.
- I should be more patient and wait more than 1 hour with a hope that anything will change?
Could you give me the links for "unbricking" the Herald?
Thanks a lot.
You misunderstood me. You don't flash with the SD card through the tricolor screen. You flash through the regular flash center. If you're not hardSPL you have to flash the stock ROM.
As far as the flashing through SD goes, it should give you a countdown before the tricolor screen appears. If it doesn't, or if it's too fast to read, then your SD card is too slow.
As it loads this tricolor screen I see the following data:
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
Perhaps it means, that I indeed need a GOLDCARD method.

But the FLASH CENTER works only on WINDOWS. So I can't use the regular flash center, because my Herald doesn't start up and ActiveSync doesn't see him.
If you're not hardSPL you have to flash the stock ROM.

Where do I get the original ROM, may be even WM5? In your FTP- server I have found some "ship.exe"- Files, but I can't extract ".nbh" files from them.

May be that is the point!!! My SD is too slow. Will be in this case "GoldCard" an ideal solution for me?

This means that you attempted to flash a HardSPL or another SPL when your SPL did not meet the state requirements. You NEED to create a Goldcard.

No, the flash center doesn't only work in Windows. It works on the bootloader mode. ActiveSync's icon turning green doesn't mean that activesync saw the phone, it means that it can synchronize your information with the computer.

If you broke your SPL like I mentioned above, you will have to use the Goldcard first then you will be able to flash any stock Herald/Tmobile Wing ROM.

I don't know if it will be too slow for that, too. But if you broke your SPL, the goldcard is the ONLY way to fix it.
The problem is - for GOLD Card I need a working WINDOWS Mobile Handy... and I don't have such one at the moment.
Is it possible to become a standard GOLD Card, which would be suitable for most of Heralds?
Thanks

I've installed Linux on my computer, but i can't find a correct command to read a CID of my SD Card. My SD is located in Linux under "/media/disk-1" and I try to write something like "cat /media/disk-1:*/cid", but the Linux doesn't recognize CID command at all.
Actually, I hope, that after getting CID it will not be difficult to obtain a goldcard.img through QMAT. Am I right?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I always find flashing with a card is a lot faster than using a software because I can do this anytime with just one little card. I didn't find this in wiki so might as well just make one. tested by myself.
***IMPORTANT***
Please make sure you have HardSPL on your device. And also make sure you have more than 50% of battery left or you can plug in a charger just to make sure there is no power failure. I am not sure if SIM unlocked is necessary prior to performing these steps, so hopefully someone (maybe pof) can help me with this. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1. Get a 128MB MicroSD card (or whatever size you like) and format it (***please make sure you format it, but not just delete all contents on it)
2. find the ROM image you would like to use, normally namede RUU_Sign.nbh, and rename it to "KAISIMG.nbh"
3. Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Power and Camera buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears. (taken from Wiki)
4. You will first see a tri-color screen then the information on the card. Press power button to start flashing.
5. After all these are done, press the reset button located at the bottom of the phone to reset the device.

Was wondering if anyone has tried this method for flashing on of helmi's roms or even the stock htc rom on a tilt and if so which rom did you use
Thanks in advance
And eep the GREAT work up guys
Works a treat
Yes, it works fine. I've flashed HTC stock, Helmi, and Dutty's just fine with this method.

hard spl is a dos file you have to run on command prompt while device is connected via activsync (green icon) if you can not power up the device forget about HSPL
HardSPL is a 4 min tiny operation and will save you from bricking your device
If you have low signal, goto settings-> phones -> and select GSM and BAND manualy. this will bring the 4 bars of signal nicely. internet is more faster too

Just to clarify this step, for those who may be confused (like I was):
You can format the card using Windows XP and just select "quick format". That was enough to get this process working for me.
To the original author: THANKS! This process allowed me to flash here @ work, where USB flashing fails due to firewall software we have to run.
-Brett.
A couple of shortcuts
1. This will work with any card that's formatted with FAT32. It doesn't need to be blank or freshly formatted. Flashing won't affect (or be affected by) the other data that's on the card.
2. You don't need to use the stylus to start the process. Start with the device off - all the way off. Then press the power and camera buttons at the same time and you should go right into the boot loader.
One last thing. When the update completes you'll see "Update Complete" and "UPDATE SUCCESS". At that point none of the keys work. You will need to do a reset with the stylus. My first flash, I let this screen sit a long time before I was sure that the flash had completed. No need.
Is there a way to flash to an OEM rom with the card? Otherwise, I'll have to wait until tonight.
Thanks.
hi plz help me
i flashed sum touchit rom to my phone and im just stuck in wot i think is bootloader mode
its shows on the tri colour screen
IPL: 3.04.0001
SPL: 1.11.0000
plz help me im ready to make dontations to whoever can fix this problem
HEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPP
I too am having the same problem. It just sits at the tri-coloured screen basically saying either "Serial" or "USB" (depending if its still connected to the 'puter).
Any ideas how to solve this one? I have the microsd card freshly formatted FAT32 with KAISIMG.NBH clearing sitting on the root of the storage card.
Seems like it's waiting a file to be transferred via USB or some other connectivity method rather than looking on the MicroSD card.
i am ...
really stuck i need sum1s help badly.. plzplzplzplzplz
I've tried installing the file using the bootloader method countless times now and every time I get a coloured screen with "Serial" at the bottom and some text up the top.
I've tried the card as it was when I got it, Tried it formatted FAT32 with windows, tried it formatted with Resco on the device, etc. It's definitely FAT32.
When I open any of the 3 .exe files from Palm in winzip or winrar there are two .nbh files (CHEEIMG.nbh and CHEEIMG_FW.nbh) one is ~263kb and one is ~85MB.
From everything I have read so far I ignore the correctly named small one (CHEEIMG.nbh) and copy the big one (CHEEIMG_FW.nbh) to the SD card - once thats done I rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh and I should be good to go - start the bootloader and it should work but it's just not happening.
Am I missing something? I just can't get it to work. I've tried the 3, vodafone and generic (ROW) files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
I'm currently running TREO750-1.15-ROW
Firmware: 1.27.3b.00
Cheers
As far as I understand all this you have to run Hard-SPL first, otherwise your device won't load "foreign" roms.
hmm ok I'll try that but since it's a ROW to ROW update I thought it's not a foreign ROM?

I think you can flash all official and leaked without Hard-SPL... It's needed for cooked roms.
surely I shouldn't need it for the bootloader method?
Anyone got any ideas that may help me upgrade?
Guy's,
Finally you can flash any rom to your device without help from the 2nd device. I believe it's a great news for them who is suffering from the broken USB connecor.
It's tested on my G3 device with my latest ROM's and other should work without problem.
Procedure:
1. Download the tool and unrar somewhere in your pc.
2. Decode the rom image (nk.nbf) using HTC64 tool and put it (nk.nba) under the "SD_Flash" directory.
3. Run the "SDFlash_G3.cmd" and follow instruction on the screen.
Please note, it's limited to G3 device only and I may add support for G4 device in future.
SD-ROM image tool:
http://vidmes.com/Uni/ROMs/Tomal/Tools/Ranju_SD_Flash.rar
!! IMPORTANT: Do it at your own risk. I'll not take any responsibility if you damage your device. !!
Cheers
Great stuff.
I especially look forward to a G4 release.
My USB commector broke off the circuit board recently and was floating about inside the device for a while before I opened up the device and glued it back in position onto the circuitboard. It now works (the 5 little pins are connected) so I can charge the battery through it, but I don't really trust it to flash a firmware through.
Thankfully I'm already on the ROM I usually go back to (latest T-Mobile WM5) after playing around with WM6 and WM6.1.
Nice to see developments being made for those of us with handicapped uni's!!!
Thanks a ton, Ranju !
Have already downloaded and unpacked it. I'll certainly give it a try as soon as you release your v7.7 ROM.
Cheers!

I tried to flash using bluetooth (yeah, I was stupid) and since then it's hanging in bootloader mode.
The mini-USB connector broke before (that's why I was using BT) and now I finally thought I had a solution to get it working again.
However, when I follow your steps and reset (backlight + power + reset) it doesn't even seem to look at the SD-card; it just shows serial + v1.00 again.
Any ideas?
In SDimage it get's to only 3,21%, but's that's normal on a 2 gig card I presume?

I shall tell about all the steps I took:
1. Download the tool and unrar somewhere in your pc.
- Easy.
2. Decode the rom image (nk.nbf) using HTC64 tool and put it (nk.nba) under the "SD_Flash" directory.
- I took your(?) "Ranju_v76_WM61_19209_19209_1_0_2", unrarred it and decoded it to nk.nba.
3. Run the "SDFlash_G3.cmd" and follow instruction on the screen.
g3.bin and nk_sd_g3.bin are created.
After that, I put in my Dane-Elec 2 gig SD-card and format it to FAT32.
SDimage is opened and I select the FAT32 F: drive.
After that I push the "Import SD Image" button.
Fill in "i agree", click "ok" and "yes" (with "hex" unchecked).
There I choose bin files and select "nk_sd_g3."
I then click "Ignore", "yes" and "ignore" and it's starts writing.
At 3,21% I get the dump incomplete notification and click ok.
I then put the card in my Universal, press the light and power button and the reset pin.
For a second or so the v1.00 disapears and it comes back without doing/checking/reading anything.
I'm quit sure the SD-card should work because before I flashed using BT, it worked and I tested the same procedure with another card.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or why the Universal doesn't even seem to look for the SD-card?

Yup, same problem here! I tried with a 512MB Toshiba SD card, previously formatted both to FAT(16) and FAT32. SDImage.exe runs up to 12.91% (FAT) or 12.93% (FAT32), with such card capacity. Same results: my Exec just sits there in booloader mode forever...
Cheers!

all the steps are correct .
I'm sure root cause is under the header (g3.bin). it's a mmc header and I suppose there is a difference between sd & mmc header. I'll verify once I can arrange a sd card. alternatively someone can try it using a mmc card so that I can reach to a conclusion.
Hi ranju,
Uploading my MMC header for comparison purposes.
I'm also looking for SD header, g3/g4 both the devices for analysis.
So does this work with a G4? or has it not been tested?
Hi,
I'm sorry about this post but there seems to be an anormous amount of information which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
All I want to do is upgrade my palm treo 750 from win5.0 to 6.1.
I've downloaded the rom but it doesn't upgarade. So I need to figure out a way to flash this phone so it can be upgraded to any roms.
I have tried the Cheetahunlocker which doens't work. It gets stuck on 0% then times out.
Could someone please give me some basic instructions on the best way to do this on the treo.
I've done this on the TYTN2 whith no issues however on this phone, it seems to be a lot harder.
Thanks in advance.
Your device needs to be unlocked. You can do this by calling ATT and getting unlock code or by using Magic_Unlocker.
search
Also you will need to have the HardSPL installed which is Step 1 only of the CheetahUnlocker
I just did it yesterday so I know it works.
After you get the phone unlocked, name the ROM .nbh file CHEEIMG.nbh and then put it on the SD card
The start the CheetahUnlocker process as it enters the HardSPL process it will go ahead and run the CHEEIMG file and flash your ROM
(it works ! ) DON"T CHANGE THE RADIO !!!!
After doing that be sure and reclaim your ROM space - search web for Removing Ext ROM and do that process, hard reset and you are ready to go
Takes about 15 min!

The rom is an exe file...

Sorry I forgot it was already named CHEEIMG.nbh -- just use it like I said above.
Copy it to the SD card, put the SD card in the device and after you have used Magic_Unlocker , connect via Active Sync and start the CheetahUnlocker process. This will start the three step CheetahUnlock process (really all you need is step one which will put the HardSPL in place) as that process fails the CHEEIMG file on your SD card will get flashed.
Hope this makes sense
Bottom line is that you will be doing an SD flash of the CHEEIMG.nbh file but it takes HardSPL for that to work. Step one of the CheetahUnlocker installs HardSPL (that will be all you need of that process)
remember!
THE SD FLASHING METHOD TAKES A REALLY LONG TIME. SO LONG YOU MIGHT THINK IT'S BROKEN. BUT IT'S NOT!!!!
caps with bold and red= great way to emphasize an important point.
Thanks for the info but I'm still running into trouble.
I copied the file to the SDcard but when running the cheetahunlocker, it give the same error at 0% ( error 206) something about the connection..
I notice that active sync turns off when the cheetah unlocker goes to the coloured screen.
Edit:
Also, should I be moving the CHEEIMG.nbh or just copying it to the SD card?
Thanks.

I notice that active sync turns off when the cheetah unlocker goes to to the coloured screen.

Did you run the MagicUnlocker first?
Is the CHEEIMG.nbh file in the root of your SD card? Try re-formatiing your SD card (FAT32 important!) and then putting the CHEEIMG.nbh file in place on the root of the SD card.
After starting the CheetahUnlocker the TriColor screen should come on and then it should go to a standard White boot scan. It will ask if you want to flash and you will be asked to confirm by pushing the Power button.
If you can ever get Step One to complete on teh Cheetah Unlocker you should be able to confirm that the HardSPL is installed by turing off Today screen (Red, end button) , then hold the left side button while then pushing the reset button. You will get a tricolor screen that lists your SPL version. If it is HardSPL on an unlocked device and there is a CHEEIMG.nbh file on an inserted SD card it will then automatically go to a White boot screen .....
If any of this sounds foreign to you then you need to familiarize yourself in the Wiki re SD flashing
PS do you have the NetFramework 2.0 installed on your PC? When you start the CheetahUnlocker are you getting the Treo device confirmation to install the 2 boot exe files that let the Treo go to the boot screen (you have to answer yes to both of these) - are you making it that far?
Yes I ran the unlocker which worked fine.
I formatted the SD card, copied the CHEEMING.NBH to it so it's the only file there.
No I run the CheetahUnlocker.exe , yes to disclaimer , then STEP 1 - I click FLASH SPL, then next, next etc.. I hit Update - next - next then the phone msg comes up asking if I want to run jumpSPL.exe - I hit yes and it goes to the tri colour screen, the active sync dissapears, the screen on the pc stays at 0% and then I get the error 260: Connection, check cable etc..
How is it suppoed to maintain a connection when Active sync turns off?
I did check and framework2.0 is present.
Thanks.

I'm not sure exactly what is happening in your case but I do know that once a device of any kind enters the bootloader - Active Sync dies - AS is part of the OS and that no longer exists after the bootloader starts, I.e. Windows Mobile isn't really running any longer. the AS connection just gets it started.
I'm not too sure either.
I've unlocked the phone which worked fine.
When I run the cheetahunlocker, it doensn't get past the first step.
Should I be running Hardspl first?
What rom works best with the Treo 750? Link please!!!
What rom are you wanting to use? I have Treo750_WM6.1_WWE_Lite, looking for a more stable rom. Please list some or link them.
I tried both roms
the lite one and the normal one. I must say that the normal one is more stable - with the lite I had to do a reset at least one per day. with the normal version I did not do a reset at all...
Hi, did you resolve this CONNECTION issue? I'm having exactly the same problem.
Anyone?
hey everyone... i have a problem similar to these i think. I'll explain
i've done the magic_unlocker and i can do the 1st step of the cheetahunlocker. treo reset automatically and when i try to flash the rom the trilinear screen doesn't change to the blue screen which is the screen of the rom flash
anybody now why?
i have cracked my head the hole day and a still can't do it :S

If it goes into the bootloader then you should be good to go. Both 750s i unlocked did this. However, if done correctly, the phone should go to a light blue screen where you will press the power button and flashing should begin.

Are you doing the SD method or Desktop? DO the SD method and it should begin flashing right away after the 1st step of cheetahunlocker.
Assistance required by a Guru.
USB + Power + active synch (MDC)
I’ve used
Herm Unlock v3
Magic Unlocker
CheetahUnlocker
They all run ok
I’m pretty sure the device is unlocked!
SD card is FAT32, CHEEIMG.nbh resides at the root.
Reset + left button
Rainbow screen appears
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
CHEE100
SPL-1.40.01iNex
And that is as far as It gets!!!!
it just sits there and does nothing can anyone assist ?

Actualy you should first understand that even if your Trëo is compatible with wm6.1 you must be sure that it is compatible with the rom that you are trying to install,
Next you should try to download the rom again so you can be sure that the rom you are trying to load is not corrupted...
and if all this is done you will probably need to try out the USBcable install mode!
Realy hope that you can solve your problem
[[]]
ROM, is the third different source (same version) to ensure no corruption.
USBcable install mode, can you provide any further details?

strange that you can't install that, it's usually very simple and fast...
let me see if I understand, you are saying that you are trying to install the file when it is connected to your computer but the "cheeming" is on the SD card?!
If that's what you are doing just unplug the USB cable, you can't sync and use your SD at the same time... Just use the POWER cable and repeat all the process...
If that doesn't work for you, you should create a folder on your computer desktop and copy the "cheeming" to that folder, next copy whatever program you have used to change the SPL to that same folder.
Make a backup of the original files from your mobile, I hope you wont need them, but you should backup anyway...
then run the program and "cross your fingers"...
in about 5 or less minutes it should be done, and your treo should be runing your new WM6.1
This is the "risky" way, because you can "brick" your Treo, and I can assure you that it isn't easy to "unbrick"!
Hope you can do it with the SDcard method.
If I can help in any other way, please post or add on msn.

how i flash with usb
couple things to do. download a kaiser custom ruu. unrar or unzip your new rom you want to flash. best to have seperate folder to do this. rename the rom file to RUU_signed.nbh then run the kaiser ruu and follow the steps. very simple to do. make sure active sync is enabled before doing this.
