I have done lots of research here and I am having a hard time accomplishing this. I have a Treo 750 with WM 6.0 already installed. The device is SIM unlocked already also.
I would like to remove the AT&T branding. I have seen that there are some threads out there that describe step by step instructions, but none have worked for me yet. I'd prefer a method, if possible, that does not require the use of the data cable (update from the SD card). I really only have access to a mac and a vista machine.
Please, anyone help. All I really want to do is unbrand this device to factory settings.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Peeps,
I have been researching many websites without any luck. I am new to Windows Mobile devices and looking for some assistance in Application Unlocking the C600/Tornado.
I have seen some posts about flashing it with the Imate ROM. The phone itself is sim unlocked however I am trying to install some third party applications and it is stating I don't have enough permissions.
I have tried various Registry editors but they won't install.
Can anyone help?
Edit:
I have tried using the HTC Unlocker. It states unable to open regedit.exe. I have also tried SDA_Applicationunlock.exe I get the message "Phone is not unlockable".
This is driving me crazy, can anyone help.
Cheers

unlocking spv c600
Hey guys
I have followed the above steps to unlock my phone, and I'm still gettting an "Invalid Sim card" error.
I have tried just about every unlocking app or method there is, and still no luck. I have a new SPV C600 which I got on an Orange contract about a year ago. And it's security locked so I can't edit the registry, and I can't install any certificates either.
And though I tried the 1, 2, 3 step method above, and tho it told me it was successfull on all 3 steps, my O2 sim card still doesn't work.
Waahhaaaa....
help please

GUYz MY PROBLEM IS HUGE. I AM STUCKED ON A THREE COLOUR SCREEN ON MY SPV C600 CEEL WHILE I WAS TRYING TO UPGRADE IT. THE ONLY ROM THAT SEEMS TO WORK , ONLY STOP AT 2% (WM5) DURING THE PROCESS. WAT SHLD I DO. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS FOR ABOUT 2WEEKS. PLZZZZZZ HEP [email protected] IS MA EMAIL
Seems like the same story over and over again... sigh.
You first must get access to the old OS again. As you have not succeeded in doing any upgrade yet, the old OS should still be there. Do a hard-reset:
1.) switch off
2.) press l+r softkey + keep pressed until a next step tells to release them
3.) switch on device
4.) wait for white screen with advice on hard-reset, release L+R softkeys
5.) press key for hard-reset (should be 0)
Device reboots to old OS.
When old OS is up you MUST(!) application unlock the device before you can do anything else. The Orange devices are especially resistant to allow this crucial first step. I have no such device, but key to success is that SDA Application unlock tells that your device is successfully unlocked.
Look for C600 Unlock to find dedicated instructions.
Mind that after the application Unlock you need also the CID Unlock and (if SIM locked) also the SIM Unlock. All is possible for free, so no need to spend money for that.
I have done everything to flash my T-mobile MDA to run WM6. But no luck. I have run all of the roms discussed on here. Downgraded and upgraded and still running Wm5. Which is fine, but I'd much rather run wm6 or 6.1. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I also have read all the discussions on here, but I seem not to understand how to upgrade. Is there a physical link to WM6. Any suggestions would be very greatful.
I, myself, am rather new at this also....but I think I may be able to help. I recently unlocked and flashed my TMO MDA (G3), and also an AT&T/Cing 8125 (G4) for my son, with complete success. And to be honest, the MDA-G3 was a bit more tricky. The best advice that I can give is to follow the two threads below. Best o print out a set of them to refer to when you're in the process. At some point, you'll jump from one set of instructions, to the other. Follow the instructions to the letter, and reFlash with the Button ROM if necessary, as instructed in the 2nd thread. In the "The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards", pay special attention to Steps 16 and 17. Above everything else.....Be Patient, and don't unplug or restart anything unless you're instructed to do so. It took me a few times to get it right with the MDA, but it does work. Good Luck!!!...Let us know how if you're successful!!

Download WST_4.2.2 tool and check the phone version and CID lock/unlock status by hitting the 'CID Action' button,post the result here.Then CID unlock the phone accordingly,if its a G3 follow this guide at xda-wiki,but if its a G4,it can only be upgraded with either SoftSPL or HardSPL,you can read about it in the G4 forum posted as Stickies or in this guide :-

Hi,
i have Treo 750 want to unlock!!
IPL:0.20
SPL: 0.24.0000'
i try with Cheeta unlocker and MAGIC Unlocker, both not work.
it this because of the new SPL0.24??
can anyone give me instruction how to please!!
thanks
i had same problems with my treo. first like oli says in his first post about hard spl make sure you have net compact framework 2.0 on your computer. what worked for me was in your c drive there is a folder called tempche. delete that file then run unlocker again. i only did first step on my treo just so it would be hard spl'd. never did step 2 and so on cause i didnt feel a need too.
thanks man, just delate the tempche folder then everyhting run smoothly.
cheers
Good for you!
Hi:
Where do you find the SPL and IPL information?
And can you tell me what SPL actually is?
Thanks!
spl
im not sure about what spl means but i do know that you need to have it done in order to install a cooked rom. it basically unlocks your phone so you can flash different roms that the chefs cook. there really isnt to many people cooking roms for the treo. theres only about 3 or 4. i think everybody got different phones so thats why your not getting responded too very quickly. i too have a tilt and a treo and i like to bounce back and forth between phones. i have the wm 6.1 lite rom on my treo. if your looking at just upgrading from wm 5 to wm 6 you dont need to do a hard spl. stock roms allow you to flash without unlocking your phone. im not a computer genious here but i will try and assist you however i can. ive been in your shoes before trying to figure all this stuff out.
i forgot to answer your question about where to find the spl. it shows up in your bootloader screen. you can see it by pressing down the lower left side button and pushing soft reset which is located on the other side where you put your mini sd in. there is a small whole that you use your stylus to push in. you can just soft reset again to get out of the bootloader screen.
helpeee
i used cheeter unlocker. I
did step one and two
successfully. But at the end i get
the debug error which some
people got. So i copied htc herm
unlock v3 to the phone. I ran it
from phone and selected sim
unlock and it was succesfull. But
when i turn on radio, i get "you
have tried 5 times, wait for time
out ****".
Please anyone, what am i doing
wrong, or what should i do to
unlock my machine?? It has wm6
from at&t.

Hi all,
I have read alot of your articles to update to WM 6.5. I have a Palm Treo 750I downloaded the CeetahUnlocker.exe and the Cheeimg.nbh. I ran the CeetahUnlocker.exe and clicked on the "Flash SPL" which after my second try worked fine. My phone boots with the Palm logo and not the AT&T logo it initially had. The other thing when I hold the media key and do a soft reset the phone enters the Bootloader program, therefore I think the "Flash SPL" went okay. The problem I am having is that the second step "Unlock Radio" does not work that is a ERROR message happens after the phone goes into the Bootloader mode. Can you guys tell me If my phone was unlocked to use my local carrier do I have to unlock the radio ect. Please help as this is becoming very fustrating.
thank you in advance
Anthony
Come on guys... anyone, someone pls help...
Hi, u just need to use the Athena_unlocker at that point to unlock ur carrier and thats it
I bought my phone unlock so do I still need to do this. Their are 2 Carrier in my country and I can use the simm card of anyone of them...
If your phone was unlocked, then you don't need to do it again. Flashing ROMs using Hard SPL will not change its status in that regard.
Can you tell me then the steps for updtaing to WM 6.5 please
Assuming you have correctly run the HardSPL, there are many threads in this section that describe how to flash a ROM, so there's no reason to re-hash the instructions yet again here.
Pick your preferred version of WM6.5 (keeping in mind they all still have major bugs) and flash it. If you don't like it, then keep trying until you find one you like.
The WM6.1 ROM is the most stable and bug free however, just as an FYI. The WM6.5 ROMs are fun to play with, but I wouldn't recommend them as a permanent install for most people unless the known bugs don't affect functions you regularly use.
Hey, I have a HTC surround running windows 7.5 the os version is 7.10.7720.68
And I recently have tried to developer unlock my phone using chevronwp7.
But everytime I press unlock, it says I'm having problems connecting to your device, make sure it is pin unlocked and Zune is running; which it is. Can someone PLEASE guide me in the right direction? Thank you guys so much
Zune must be closed and your HTC should not be on the lock screen
Wrong thread!
I thought Zune must be OPEN. Anyways, I tried it without and it didn't work. Is my phone os too new? What else can I do? Thanks so much for your reply too

Have you installed Windows Phone SDK?
Have you installed Windows Phone Support Tool?
Have you installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4?
If yes read here ChevronWP7 Labs FAQ or contact support Chevron for solve your problem
Okay I'm still very new to windows phone 7, as I stated, I have wp7.5, os:7.10.7720.68.I have boot loader: 4.3.2250.0(128976). can someone please tell me how I would go about flashing a stock ruu? Do I have to mess with rspl/hspl yet? Please can someone help? I'm sorry for taking your time as well. Thank you much.
And also, sorry for being such a dreaded noob, but what application should I install for the bootloader mode when connect my surround in? Im on windows xp. Thanks again so much, I don't know what I would do without you guys.
Okayyyyy... a few things.
First. it looks like you're trying to use the original ChevronWP7 unlock. That tool is dead, and has been for over a year (it only worked on pre-NoDo ROMs). This is well documented. I'm not sure why people keep trying it... you'd think they'd read up a little before trying to use a hack on their phone.
Second. Why do you want to flash a stock ROM? (RUU = ROM Update Utility) In any case, the procedure is simple: turn the phone off, hold the Volume Down button, press Power to start the phone again. It'll boot to a screen with bands of color and yellow text. Next, connect it to the PC. You'll need the relevant drivers; Vista and up will install them automatically but for some reason you're still running an 11-year-old OS on your PC so you might need to install them manually (I think they are included with the Windows Mobile Device Center download from Microsoft). The phone should say USB at the bottom when it's connected; at that point just run the RUU program.
Thrid. RSPL / HSPL are replacement bootloaders for WP7. They allow installing custom ROMs. If you want to do that, you'll need to first downgrade your current bootloader; SPL 4.3 is too high for using RSPL. Since you're not on SPL 5.X yet, I think you can downgrade just by installing an older stock ROM or radio update. Otherwise, there are a number of guides for how to downgrade the SPL.
That's the reason I need to downgrade lol thanks
By chance, do you know the new way to unlock or do I have to flash a custom rom? Thanks
You are on a developer-locked HTC phone? The first option is to try getting dev-unlocked, for example by getting an AppHub account or a friend who has one. They're free for students (go through Dreamspark). The second option is to use a custom ROM. The third option is to wait until a new hack is found.
Once you're dev-unlocked, you can use the Interop-Unlock app from Heathcliff74 (the HTC one, specifically) to allow unlimited sideloading. Then, you can install WP7 Root Tools 0.9 to get nearly full access to the device.
Thanks so much. Will report back with results.
So sorry, but I did all the research I could and couldn't find an updated method of going through dreamspark. I registered and man I hate myself for this, but can anyone help me please?
EDIT: I am enjoying interop unlock on intrinsic ROM and I love it!!! Thank you all so much for your help! My next and hopefully last question is, is it okay to update my radio while I have hspl? Or do I have to ospl first thanks!
