and can I do it without USB cable? (copy ROM to MMC and install)
I'm living in Vietnam and use English
Welcome to XDA-developers!
Your ROM version is fine, however you may wish to upgrade to the latest 1.13 ROM + 1.13 Radio + BigStorage (by the way, BigStorage is just a way in which you can extend your measly 7MB of Storage to 27MB). However you will need a USB cable for the above method: I highly recommend to invest in one anyway, as you will find installing many programs onto your JAM difficult without one.
I think it is possible to upgrade with just a SD/MMC card and a SD/MMC reader for your computer, however it is considerably more complicated and you will not be able to back up your existing ROM, as you will need your computer to command your JAM during the backup process. You will probably need to merge two upgrading methods in order to get a USB cable-free process, something that no one else has done. Sorry I don't quite have the time for that yet, but maybe someone else can come to your aid!
Is there a technical reason you can't use a USB cable by the way?
EDIT: I forgot this: the reason why you cannot upgrade by just dumping a ROM onto the SD card and letting the JAM upgrade from that is that the ROM must be modified with some special, device unique data from your JAM first before your JAM will accept it. The normal ROM upgrade programs do this via USB by retrieving the device data from your JAM and then applying it to the ROM they are about to send to it. While there is a way to manually get this required data, that too requires a USB cable (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=231410).

Please avoid cross-posting, especially since this is the wrong forum. I can't help you anyway - different models of PDA can have very different ways of doing things.

Thanks for your help, i'll try and tell u the result.
I am having lots of problems getting ActiveSync to work. I can transfer files using Bluetooth.
Do I need a working ActiveSync connection to flash a ROM?
The Hard SPL pages talks about connecting the ActiveSync cable, but does not say why this is necessary.
I have a 4 Gig MicroSD card installed. Can I simply load all the necessary files onto it and go from there?
Perhaps a non-Orange ROM will solve my ActiveSync problem (not the reason I want to flash, but a possible good side effect).
Yes, you need activesync or the vista counterpart.
Try this - go to Settings | Connections | USB to PC | UN-check Enable Advanced network functionality and see if that helps

ActiveSync will tell your Windows XP that the connected device is a Pocket PC and not something else. (Drivers)

ROMs can be flashed with SD card. But the method and the files are different. Usually this is not on a first priority choice for cookers. And I dont remember Hard-SPL through SD. Though, going through a PC is always best as flashing ROMs are quite dangerous and if anything gets stuck in the middle, you shall try again from the PC but not through SD when your device doesn't even boot!

Original(shipped) ROMs are always best. They dont give you much errors. People recover their device using original ROMs in case if they bricked their device using a cooked ROM! Original ROM can be flashed direct from Bootloader screen most of the times but would still require ActiveSync be installed.

You can use your memory card as per instructed here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158
Also you could try and put your phone into the bootloader mode by hand (instructions here > http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets ) that should work also as your computer uses a different set of drivers when flashing
Hi there,
In one of the topics here, I found a program to rotate the screen of my Qtek 8300. This required the use of another video driver.
When installing the driver, I chose to install in to my storage card. This turned out not to be a very wise choice. When I ran the program, and switched to the other driver, my phone rebooted.
However, now it does not boot anymore. It hangs while displaying the blue Qtek startup screen. It probably can't find the new driver. My thoughts on how to fix this (excluding a hard reset) are either:
-starting up with some sort of "safe mode". Does WM5 support this, and if so, how can I enter this mode?
-moving the driver from my storage card to the internal memory of the phone via the bootloader console. Is this possible?
Can anyone please tell me whether either of these options has a chance of working? I would appreciate it a lot .
you dint follow the instructions on how to install the rotation app i bet you dint install the certificates the developer clearly states that if you don't install the specified certificates it will make you hard reset thus,you will have to reinstall the rom on your phone. its your only option mate sry
I read the topic but there was no mention of certificates. Of course my phone is unlocked to accept strange apps, but that's probably not what you mean.
go to the rotation tool post and search for the guide i made it has the links for them
Are you sure? Will have another look then.
This was a nice opportunity to upgrade to WM6 . Too bad though I lost my contacts etc.
Hello,
I have a big problem and I hope you can help me.
A few weeks ago I want to update my Treo to WM6.5 and use a Rom (I think from navenedrob) which was timebombed (since there I don't know it).
Now I want to update my Treo to the right version from this thead :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541417
but when I start the update with the cheathunlocker tool, it stops at 7%, the usb connection get lost and my Treo make a restart and the old bimebomed version is there...and the tool says, that the file is curuppted and i should check my update tool... but this message comes every time also with other roms.. When I use the method with the media button there comes the colored screen with "serial" and nothing happens.
(The sd card is okay and the same card which I use to install the timebombed version)
What should I do? I can't do anything... Please help me
1. format the card 32fat.
2. do not use hc card.
3. try to download again the rom.
4. if it does not help - try to install 6.0 rom from palm .
Hello
1. format the card 32fat.
2. do not use hc card.
3. try to download again the rom.
I tried this very often... But nothing helps
Where I can get this Rom? On the plam homepage I can't find a Rom, only instructions and a download for Mobile center.
http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar
For England (750V) :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PS2QHTE6
Oh really thank you for the Roms!
But I have a problem, my Treo dosn't connect to my Pc. When I click to my workplace there isn't a hhd from the Treo.. and the Mobile Center show me, that there i no connection... I have Windows 7, under Windows Vista it don't work too...
Because of that I can't update my Treo.
Do you know the problem and how to solve it?
Really big thank you, this here is a nice community where I get help!!
1. try to install from WINXP - look for another computer...
2. there is a way to get the rom from the file - maybe with winrar- I'm not sure but I remember something like it...
3. look for a rom 6.1 and try to install it from the card.
Okay I try it under Windows Xp, but I get no connection
I get the Rom from the .exe file by 7zip and copy it to the sd card, but the same problem is there at 7%
Do you have maybe am link from Wm6.1?
I think all this dosn't work.. I don't know what the problem is..
What other possibility can I try? There must be a solution for it...
a link to 6.1
http://www.mediafire.com/?4gxsdxh1tmm
maybe you need to replace your card...
Okay thank you.
I try it with an other card and hope it works..
But I think, that this don't work, because when I press the media button und reset, there comes the bootloader with "serial" on the bottom of the display and when I connect it to my pc "usb".. but I can't start the rom with this method...
I try it tomorrow and tell you if it works or not
the "serial" problem happened to me too. It was because bad rom file or bad card.
Okay today I try it with an other Card and 2 Roms (also the orginal Rom), but in the bootloader modus there is every time the "serial" and below..
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
PalmTr
SPL-0.24.0000
Serial
And when I try it with the cheetahunlocker, it stops at 7% and my Treo make a restart and the old timebombed version is loading..
But maybe my sd card slot is broken from my Treo or the sd card adapter...
because when I run the cheetahunlocker without an sd card, it also stops at 7%...
any idea to check this? Or an other way?
Hey I might have a solution here:
When you format the Mini SD card, do NOT do a quick format. Uncheck that box and do a full format, FAT32, Default Allocation Size.
This took over 15 minutes for me.
Do a scandisk (Right click the drive/tools/scandisk) and check "Fix Errors". This should ensure your SD card is in good shape.
Now copy a good ROM to the card and reset+PTT. The Palm should flash successfully now. If not your ROM may be corrupted.
Hope this helps! It worked for me!
1. Format sd card to fat32
2. find the .nbh file in the stock ROMS
3. rename it CHEEIMG.nbh
4. copy it to the sd (make sure it is not hcsd or it won't work)
5. insert the card in the card reader
6. reset the phone by using the stylus and the reset button next to the card reader, at the same time hold the PTT button on the left side of the phone, (this will put it bootloader mode)
7. when prompted, press the end talk button on the phone, this should start the update process without using activesync.
HardSpl
1. redownload the app and extract using 7zip
2. make sure you have .NET compact framework 3.5 installed on the PC and the phone
3. in CHEETAH unlocker press ctrl+2 and click the header (this will unlock all three options)
4. follow steps
The radio it flashes will not be a good one, so you need to search around to get the right one. Once those steps are complete, you should be able to reflash WM 6.5 without any problems. If you download Navendrob's ROM, you will need to download the arcsoft mms composer to make mms work, and you should be good to go.
Hi backspacepc,
thank you for your help!!!Now it works.. I didn't rename the file. so this was the problem
Hi,
I have a question about this rom. (Wm6.5 from naevendrob)
My touch is broken, so I can't use the touch. Now I have the problem, that I only end a call with touching "end" and not with the normal hang up button on my keybord.
My second problem is, that I can't lock my Treo, because when I want to unlock it, I have to use the touch display.. On Wm 6.1 I could turn my screen with the hang key on my keyboard off.. this is now on this Rom not possible, or do anybody have a solution for this? Maybe in the registry or something?
Thank you
Has nobody a anser?

Since your issue is with the ROM you loaded & your hardware problem, you should bring it up at the specific thread where you downloaded the ROM from.
I would recommend getting the touch screen fixed or roll back to WM6.0.
No it's a Problem with my Treo. I change the touchscreen one time and it works for a while, but after maybe 2 months the touch dosn't work.
Can anybody maybe write a file that i can use the hang up button to hang up without the touchscreen?Or has anyone an idea to change it maybe in the registy or sth. like that?

HardSPL the phone first, then it should work.
hi.. i just figured i cant install or use any native apps
i tried installing DFT BT Transfer via PC and got this error :
"Nullable object must have a value"
so i tried installing it via IE from the phone.. phone says installed but no icon in menu..
and when i try to open pre-installed native apps from custom rom they close themselves..
what should i do?!
help me.. i really need BT File Transfer
The first and obvious question would be what phone and what ROM you have. The next would be whether you've done any other kind of modifications.
Also, some homebrew apps install in the Settings hub. Have you checked there?
i have Mozart and using NextGen+ 2.6.. i didnt modify anything.. i also try DeepShining and CustomV9 roms but i have problem with them too..
yes i checked there.. nothing..
i cant install DFT BT Transfer in any rom.. i tried Deepshining, Nextgen, CustomV9 roms.. some native apps like MPATools doesnt work in any rom either.. what is the completest way to reset phone!? Hardreset? is there any completer method?!
Really?! No one know how to fix this?!
