Hello All,
I do a lot of reading and follow along pretty good so far. I have done the unlock (I think I did) I was able to use other carrier's chip while travel over sea. So I figure that I have unlocked my Treo 750. I was also do the up grade to WM6.1 without any problems.. But now I keep reading the SPL and the IPL posts. So I took a look at my Treo 750, and it show IPL 0.20 and the SPL 0.24.0000. I try everything that was offered in the forum to unlock and reset and all the tricks and tips. Nothing works. The best I got was using the Cheeunlock and it only goes to 7% on my Treo and reset really quick. I seem to remember upgrade once to the WM6.5 using one of the forum members suggestion, but for the life of me I can't do it any more. I went back to the WM6.1 in matter of facts using the suggested method by a forum member. That is where I am at now. The question that I have is that, if I was able to upgrade to WM6.1 and using other carrier's chip. Am I unlock? Or am I just thinking that I am? , also why can I change the SPL and the IPL value? Thanks in advance for all the help, and sorry for such a long post.
O.K. so many views but no reply, but it is all in the name of testing. I guess after I have post this question and recevied no reply, I did some more reading and going throught he instructions over and over again and again, can never pass the #11 step to see the blue screen for upgrade. But I finally did it. The thing I did was to follow the upgrade and unbranded post here till the #11 step and the only change that I made was to included the *.nbh file (which ever one you want to put in.) in the tempche folder in your computer, and it took the upgrade and unlock the phone, change the hard spl and all that good stuff just like the instruction said. I guess you can called that #11a in the instructions. After I did all that I can do the upgrade to the WM6.5 without any problems, and revert back to the WM6.1 without a hitch. So if you guys are having problems doing the unbranded or upgrade try to put the *.nbh file in the tempche, instead of in your sd card. Good luck I am waiting now for the new 23XXXX build WM 6.5 to come out so I can play with the phone some more.

i am getting an 8125 next week from somebody who was a cingular customer. he got the factory unlock code from a cingular rep (but he cant unlock it cuz he doesnt have a different carriers sim card). is there any difference if i use that to unlock it or if i use the lokiwiz program i keep reading about??
also, as you can probly tell im new to pda's. to load the window mobile 6 would i have to unlock the CID (which im not even sure what it is)? what are the benefits for using wm6 and is it fully functional on the 8125 (ive read a few posts from ppl that say they have problems). i also saw a thread for making an i-phone skin...is it possible to have both wm6 and this iphone skin? also, can anyone explian what this aku2 rom is?
sorry to make this post, but there are so many threads about the stuff i am inquiring about and hundreds of pages and its just too long to go thru. if anybody can help me out that would be appreciated...thanks a bunch!!!
Other than to say you need to read some of the sticky's in the WM6 forum, as well as the Wiki's - here's a few hints:
If you have a G3 - get it CID unlocked. If it's a G4, you can leave it locked and still flash WM6 just fine - if you use shelltool.
WM6 is mostly cool factor, with a few new features. How many people can say they're running WM6? Bleeding edge, baby, but it ain't without some pain.
iPhone skin - yes, and good luck. I tried it, and it was a slow pig - it looked alot like the iPhone, but not worth the bling. Try driving your car with a painted tarp on it. yeah, right. Can barely open the doors.
As for aku2, no idea. Hit search and check it out.
You got lots of reading ahead of you. I spent 10 hours reading before my first attempt at flashing - and I'm a fast reader.
yea im doing a lotta reading....where is the link to the wm6? i cant seem to find it!
check my sig for all unlocking problems...once you do that worry about WM6..Just check out a section and read up on the roms

Don't learn by flashing. Learn by reading. $400 is a lot of jack to waste trying to learn by experience.

You can't use it with the cingular sim card beause you don't need it!
You have to borrow a sim card other than your carrier's sim card to apply the code. Once applied, the sim portion of your cell is unlocked for life if you have the right code.
Lockwiz will CID unlock your phone as well. Once successfull with this portion, you can install any ROM or Custom ROM....designed for your TYPE of device.
You are currently running an AKU2 ROM.
Based on your line of questioning, you have a WHOLE lot of reading to do. You sound like you're on your way to be stuck in bootloader mode.
Do your reading 1st, collect all your tools and all you need can be found by you doing the research in the threads. All the answers to your questions are in the WIKI....it's your friend.
This was a freebee....if you're not willing to go thru the hundreds of threads, as you stated to get the answer....use the search tool or stay with your factory ROM.
Remember: This is a Developer's Forum, not a USER's Forum
This thread you created was a waste!
no pain ... no gain....
imho it starts to look like a 3th rang helpdesk here
Hello!
Will very much appreciate some help with my kaiser!
I've downloaded a program from ebay to unlock the phone, the first program was the flash Hard-SPL program. This guy has included all the flashing programs (radio etc.) onto one program to make it easier, but before you run hardSPL a message comes up saying:
"Your device will now be flashed, follow the instructions, when the loading bar appears on the PC, pay attention to your device as soon as you see the three colour screen you must REPLUG usb, do so immediately then WAIT PATIENTLY for it to flash"
Now i took "replug" to mean unplug then plug in again... which is odd because the hardSPL program doesnt ask you too. SO as soon as i saw the hardSPL loading bar at 0% i unplugged and replugged the USB. Then my heart sank as a communication error inevitably came up and i had to exit the program.
Now my phone is stuck on the three colour screen (with white bit at the bottom) with the current text displayed on the top left:
KAIS130
SPL-1.93.Jump
CPLD-8
then obviously "USB" at the bottom.
I've tried resetting the phone but the button wont work, i dont want to take the battery out incase i'll completely brick it!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!! ($30 donation for the most helpful reply! - i know its not alot but better than nowt!)
A simple search for hardspl or the likes will result in the results you're looking for. You may also want to read the kaiser sticky (the very first post) as it may become helpful.
try downloading the HardSPL from this site and running the file as per the instructions. May still be able to recover. Good luck m8!
I had this problem way back when I got my Kaiser. I simply reflashed HardSPL and then flashed Duttys ROm. All fixed after that
money is not everything...
downnload the HardSPL package from my signature. unplug and replug your usb cable from you computer. then run the hardspl with the attatchede exe from the download.
if need be you can reach me via msn messeger [email protected]
OK i've been good and searched the forums, and found its OK to take battery out and put back in... it started no probs *phew*, although now i'm very scared to flash!!!! will post my progress...

As long as you HardSPL first there is absolutely NO risk. Been tested to death, works a treat. Good luck m8!
Follow instructions in this post, should keep you ok. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334678
***changed the link, put the wrong one in, sorry!!! ***
we here at xda don't do stuff for money .. donations r appreciated. the most important aspect of the site is to help u learn and understand the workings of ur device. since u r new to rom flashing/device upgrading i highly recommen and suggest it as a requirement to read the first sticky under the kaiser rom devvelopment forum.
as far as hardspl goes im sorry if u paid one ebay to some scammer as full hardspl including instructions on how to use it r available free of charge here on xda thanks to olipro,pof, and jocky and others.
if u still r stuck than i suggest u ask alltheway for help
Hmmm... tried flashing hardSPL and it turns out it makes no difference i took the cable out the program doesnt work! Comes up with a connection error anyways!
Is it because im on vista?
To be honest i have no idea what hardSPL actually is (sorry) im just tryin to get the simlock off!
Is there a hardSPL tutorial thread somewhere?
(sorry for being king of the noobs!)

thats what happens when you purchase stolen software on eBay. That sim unlocker was created by a user here and some dueche bag is selling it on eBay you should ask for your money back and make threats to report him.

well put good sir
okey doke! will do that.
Am still having trouble. I saw on the sticky page a video tutorial for unlocking - what was the program he was using? Its different to the one i'm using! I've also tried one which runs off the phone which still doesnt work.
I think it may have something to do with the fact when i plug in the phone you can hear the windows chime thingy TWICE, then its connected...
When i run the flash program and unplug then replug the usb cable i can only hear the chime ONCE, is this something to do with vista????
OK it just decided to work, i did the same thing as before except this time it was ok.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES!
Oh and i found out that the program the guy was selling was indeed free and was indeed from this website: i noticed at the bottom of the program was this message:
==Kaiser Debug Output==
==Made by Olipro - 2008. www.xda-developers.com==
-Version 2.0-
SPL Flashed!
It also said this is FREE software!!
On Vista - fully close MS mobile device center.
Put the phone in bootloader mode and connect to the usb port.
Run the unlocker (don't unplug usb)
Be sure you flash to a wm6.1 first before unlock your sim. Olipro's sim unlocker works for wm6.1 only as I remember.
Good luck!
i thought it was 6.0 ...maybe for a different unlock tool? how many are there on here for the Kaiser?
Hope someone can help, ive read through the posts here till my head hurts and cant work a couple of things out.
Ive just bought a 2nd hand Vodafone branded Treo 750 and tried unlocking it using Cheetahunlocker. I got through steps 1 & 2 and then the program crashed every time after this point so I just copied the athena unlocker over to the handset, ran that and that has worked fine. i cant however run step 3 of cheetahunlocker to flash the radio back to it. Is this a problem or can i carry on usin it in this state ?
Before running the unlocker I did a hard reset and somehow all the vodafone branding disapeared. is this right ?
I'm using the device on O2-UK, what would be the best WM6 rom to upgrade using ?
Many Thanks
Another New Guy!
Hi!
I'm a new Treo 750 owner too. I guess you and I really came late to this party!
There are so many new terms, and so much stuff here, I feel like I'll never learn it!
I can't help much, since I'm only about 24 hours ahead of you. But I do recall reading in this forum that the "radio" modification should be "undone" because it has some bugs in it, and your phone may not be as reliable with it installed.
If I understand it right, the radio mod has to be done in order to do the unlock, then the radio mod needs to be undone.
Hopefully someone will answer you (and me!) and we can join the ranks of the happliy-unlocked!
Good luck!
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if I can use the 6.1 ROMs on my Kaiser or am I limited to 6.0 ROMs?
I tried to download the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade from HTC but when I enter my Serial No. it says its unsuitable for my phone.
I bought it on ebay and its full of rubbish and seems heavily tampered and has lots of querky things going on - so I thought I would just flash it with one of your ROMs. I don't want to 'brick' it if 6.1 is incompatible. I have spent days reading the (astoundingly detailed) FAQ's but, maybe 'cos I'm dumb and don't understand the difference between ROM and OS, I'm worried I will trash the phone if HTC say its incompatible.
I'm rambling now because what I don't really know is whether A ROM includes OS or sits on top of OS.
Regards,
JN
You can, of course, use 6.1 roms on your kaiser. I suggest you just go to the kaiser section, read a bit, and find yourself a nice ROM.. the kaiser section is flooded with ROMs.. and good ones
Thanks for replying. I found several posts today from people who have trouble with screen touch alignment and wondered if there was a hardware incompatibility with some Kaiser's and WM 6.1. Also, I found the answer to my question about ROMs and OS in Q1 of the Kaiser ROM Flashing FAQ which I had already read but obviously not taken in.
I shall give one a try then.
Many thanks,
I'd suggest giving a few.. until you get it right
LOL
Ok then. What are the chances of totalling the phone? Mind You, I've got to the point where if I junk it I won't care too much. So I shall just have some fun.
Thanks for the reassurance and advice.
You should be able to hard reset if everything fails...which should save you in the worst case situation... I beleive though from reading up on it if you unlock your phone with HARDSPL it is supposed to stop you from being able to brick your phone
First of all, try try a few roms without spling more than once, find the hardspl guide for kaiser in the kaiser forum and hardspl it so you can flash as many roms as you like.
afterwards, just start flashing roms. bricking a device isn't that common if you do things properly. make sure all roms you flash are meant for kaiser..
Thanks again for the help and advice, which I have followed - I've applied HARDSPL as recommended. I've only had a chance to apply one ROM so far (AtheneOS WWE) which looks fantastic IMHO but I have what seems like a radio problem as I have no sound. So I shall have a go now at different radios I suppose? That's what most of the replies to posts seem to suggest for lack of sound after flashing. Its easier than I thought this lark - I can see this may be habit forming though
Great stuff you guys .
JN
Another Happy (rom) Flasher!
lol. go ahead and enjoy flashing.
I know, i should do it myself, but phones and I do not get on. At all..
Are there any people out there who can update a SPV C600 phone from origanal rom to what ever is the lastest? 6.5 i think from reading here.
Would be nice to get some more use out of the phone, only had it 4 years But anything to keep it as i love it.
Also, looked at doing the step by step upgrade, but says i need to be amember of the rapidshare web site, is there a way to get the rar without paying?

You don't have to be a member of rapidshare in order to download from there.
The "premium" members just get a faster download speed.
Upgrading from the original rom isn't too difficult .... just follow the steps listed in the how to the letter and you should be fine.
Trying to do this myself, following the guides, but i cant even get Activesync 4.5 to see the phone lol..
I think i better stop before i break it and just put up with WM5.
