how to unlock rom on treo 750v - made by htc

we are trying to unlock and or dump the rom on the treo 750v. this is a newly released treo made by htc. the treo has an awesome feature called theeaded sms which does chat style sms.
we have tried the grab it program that was on this site with no luck.
does anyone no of a way to get this done? does any have any ideas of why the grab it program doesn't work. does anyone want to help?
thanks, cody

So far we've manage to get someone to try the grab_it tool from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
But they are getting a write error. I assumed since the Treo 750v uses a mini-sd card the appropriate version of grab_it would be grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe. I'm trying to get someone to try the grab_it_128_150.exe version to see if that works, since that is the version BeyondTheTech used to extract the Treo 700w rom. The 700w uses a regular sd card though.
I asked the guy that tried grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe what the storage card folder name was set to and they verified that the registry was set to "Storage Card". So it's unclear to me why they are getting a write error. Maybe the minisd version expects something else? The card used was a 2GB minisd so it should have plenty of room for the rom.
Anyone familiar with grab_it know what is different about the minisd version? I read through the thread but it wasn't clear to me what the difference is.

Ok, I'm the one who's run the grabit tool on a 750v
It runs Ok and creates a 128Mb dump.bin file but the file appears to be mostly empty. If I zip the file up it only takes 147Kb which seems to confirm this. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in the tool

i have hope 750v user and appreciate your efforts

Can you upload the bin file please. I think someone here may be able to figure this out by looking at the contents of it.

If anyone has a source for a unlocked 750v let me know i really need one.

File and registry dump.

Hi, please can you do me favor? I have idea which can help us get SMS threading application and other palm features as well. If isn't possible dump ROM in this moment can you download Total Commander (freeware) http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm and do following.
1, Create foder on memory card and go to the Total commander.
2, go to the root of your device and copy to SD everything what is possible specially from Windows folder and Program Files (rest will be fine as well)
- this will take some time and in case of problem with file just skip that file.
3, When this will be done please go into the "\\" in the root and then to "registry"
4, now select registry tree one by one and copy again to card.
This will give us most probably files which will be required for hack and registry keys which will be required as well i think.
Thank you very much for your help.

Here's a zipped up copy of the dump.bin file, hope it helps

I extracted that dump.bin and it looks like a 256 byte block of data that is repeated at each 16 meg boundary 8 times.
Does this ring any bells to the experts?
The only readable text is "CHEETAH IPL EVT".

wow! that's great!

I don't have a Cheetah, but there's some info on the hermes forum that might be of interest to you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1019171&postcount=22

750v_User please try this program to extract the rom image.
unzip and copy TestDump.exe to your device and run it. In the "Path to file" enter the path for the dump file (i.e. \Storage Card\dump.bin). In the "Mbytes to dump" enter 128. Then press the "Dump" button. It should make a dump of the ROM file.
Zip it up and upload here. Thanks!

Thanks. That post appears to be for updating the rom. I wonder if there is some key combo like this to extract the rom.

Based on the Hermes experience, there's no knonw way yet to extract it in a form that after is flashable on another device, but you can follow these instructions to dump some parts:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
You can also use pmemdump to copy some of the ROM contents to a file. Once you've dumped SPL you can search for strings on it and you'll see the bootloader commands.
HTC has removed all the "d2s, s2d, r2sd..." and like commands in the hermes bootloader, probably you are lucky and you have some command to dump the rom to sd in your bootloader.
Hope that helps

The ROM dump // extract discussion is over my head...one question though has anyone sorted out how to unlock this device?

im just a noob but cant we use the combination of StyleTap and AdvBackup to create a complete rom backup of the treo 750v and then grab what we want from that?
will that work????
just tryin to help........

what if someone get the .nbh file..can that be extracted??

750v ROM dump uploaded
I put a rom dump from the TestDump.exe tool on ftp.xda-developers.com. userid: xdaupload pw: xda
file: treo750v_dump_rom.zip
I used the dumprom tool to extract files, but it looks like it's only extracting the first rom section it finds and stops. Can one of the experts take a look at the dump and see if you can extract the other sections please.
Thanks.

What are you getting from the first rom section?
Sounds weird... was the dump complete?

It looked like a bunch of system files. The kernel, img.dll, filesystem drivers and the like.
There is 59MB of data in the dump so there has to be more stuff in there.

how can i change the extended rom contents??

hi all
i have a Pandora's Kitchen and i want to put some cabs on extended rom then enable it
is there any idea??
thanx

Easyest way is to download Molski's Devpac from http://www.molski.biz/ read pdf i advise you print this as its good reference,
you also need a copy of winimage
install both programs
Basicly
copy your rom NBF file to the c\devpac\source directory
nav to c\devpac\tools\batch\shortcuts and run dumprom
open file c:\devpac\romdump\9b000000-Extension.nb with winmage
after editing save and use the devpac to rebuild the rom and flash
All instructions for building are in the PDF thats been placed on your desktop if you did print this will save you switching windows at every click while building

i copied two cabs from my old extended rom, it was working without any issues
i think there is something wrong with the rom, because im reading on faria post and it was written there is a registry on OEMOPERATORS folder on System folder in the Kitchen Rom, but it was in his kitchen.
so there is a registry most be edited to enable Extended rom running
thank you and waiting for more ideas

Precatutions before flashing. Help...

I consulted the WIKI and i have dumped my ROM by using "itsutilsbin" and "imgfs_tools" as was mentioned in the WIKI.
Now i have 3 files "Part02.raw", "Part01.raw" and "Part00.raw"
and also i have a dump folder containing the files extracted from "Part02.raw" by using "viewimgfs.exe"
I could not create the SYS and OEM folder by using pkgtools. Please intruct how do i do it. Im working on windows Vista.
i moved pkgtool.exe to the 'imgfs_tools' directory. when i double click it i get a windows saying select a folder. When i select folder i get error msg.
Please help with this issue.
How do i convert the SYS and OEM folder to a flashable rom or to .nbh file?
What else do i need do with my device before i flash a new ROM

oops! So much preparation before flashing
Just download HTC latest official ROM for VOX. Keep it for future in case of warranty issues etc whenever needed.
Flash with your desired ROM and enjoy.
Why having sleepless nights just because of this? please come out of SYS, OEM world.

I'm sure that most of us would love to help (including myself)
can you give us some more information though? I believe it comes out of 3.29 right? in which case you can download it from the wiki, rename it to RUU_signed and put it in your BaseROM folder, and extract it

You would need to port the sys to use it on the 19202 build; you can't just directly drag it there.

Use the original KaiserKitchen file to extract your rom and it will make it into pretty folder for you OEM, SYS, ROM temp....from there you can get the SYS folder....
No offense but if you are starting this thread because you don't know how to extract or cook a ROM it is useless...READ the WIKI...

You are not using a shipped ROM. The "Beta , make your own rom " is a message put in the ROM by the chef to prevent people from "stealing" their work. For the record, I consider that a cheesy thing to do. My ROMs can be dumped successfully.
Anyway, go to the Kaiser Wiki, download the HTC 3.29 WWE ROM, and extract it like mbarvian said above.

REQ: Manila 2.6 files please

a person posted below that if someone can be kind enough to upload all the manila files from their windows folder on their rom then he can create a cab out of them for everybody else to use.
Please please please will someone do this or tell me how to take apart a rom to do it, this would open up 2.6 to most people who own any HTC phone, not just topaz, like me, Rhodium
-- original --
Could someone make a cab version of 2.6 to save having to flash a whole new rom for it, i know someone did it with 2.0
Thanks
Mark

Me too.
Thank you

+1, please!

+1, i like it! i need it! i want it!!!)

but exist cab for manila 2.5 or 2.6..... i have the official rom and i want update manila only...it's possible?????
tnk's

That would be a very great .CAB file if it exists or someone has the knowledge to create it !

+1
... or the OEM package for people like me who, although they have tried until they are blue in the face, just can not create a successful OEM from a CAB.
OEM packages ... one of the banes of my life

i can if someone using the rom just posts the files here..copy all the _manila files frm the wqindows folder and post them here in a zip file
i can make a cab

you can post the zip no cab file pls!?!?

I actually can help but my internet is too slow.
The only thing you need to do is to flash this udk Leo R1 WM6.5 ROM and then copy the Windows file to storage card, zip it and upload it here or send it to rotastrain to make a cab.

I have udk Leo R1 WM6.5 ROM, but dont have Topaz, how can i find Manila 2.6 files in this rom without flashing?

ok.......i try copy window folder and zip for you......tnk's

we'll wait, but we dont need all files from windows folder, we need only manila files, i think... tnk's
