For a few days I'm trying to unlock my Treo 750. I tried cheetah unlocker and athena unlocker. Now I can upgrade to WM6, downgrade to WM5 but the software version did not change (1.12VFF) and sim is still locked. Then I flashed radio rom to 1.50. After all tries, in the about screen now I can only see square boxes instead of software version, hardware version and serial number.
Then I tried hard reset and nothing changed. How can I solve this problem. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have searched this forum but to no avail.
I have a Cingular 8125 running the 2.25 IPL/SPL it is SIM & CID unlocked.
I am able to flash the TMOBILE Radio rom no problem, BUT everytime I try to flash crossbow reloaded 1.5 and/or Faria's CROSSBOW it hangs at 99% and then faults out with an error code of 302 communication error.
My device then gets pseudo bricked and I have to reflash back with the Cingular rom.
Any ideas or tips?

Try starting the flash in bootloader screen. Turn device off then hold camera button. then push power button. Keep holding camera button till you see the rainbow screen
The usual suggestions - perform a hard reset, remove the SD card, make sure all other apps are shut down, etc, etc, etc.
Also, starting out with a good, strong 2.26 IPL/SPL ROM might help. It's been suggested many, many times to flash to the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM as a solid base before upgrading to WM6.

I have had the miniSD card out, I have shutdown all applications. I will try it from directly in the bootloader screen. As far as the 2.26 ROM I could not get it on my device, gave me an error as wrong Vendor ID.

My suspicion is that you are not truely CID unlocked. May want to retrace those steps.
Good luck!
8125 ROM Upgrade
Thanks to all for the help.
It turns out that I was most likely not truly CID unlocked. Redid it based on the post in this forums and VOILA. Worked like a charm.
Thanks to all on this forum for all the hard work and helpful advice.
Hi everyone,
I got a Qtek 8310 but it is sim-locked. I did SuperCID, instaled WM6. I can use other sim card for few minutes, but later on connection to network disappears. Anyone knows how to disable sim-lock completely? I am writting from Lithuania. Phone is locked to Bite network.
Thanks.

For unlocking your phone, search the forums more carefully. Easiest option is to install vjgrace's new WM6 ROM.
If you need Russian localisation files, check the WM6 Localisations thread to make sure you can get what you need before you start.
There is also a pretty slimmed down and stable WM5 ROM out there, I believe in Russian.
Any ROM you update to from here will unlock your phone. Just search and you will find.
I do have vjgrace's WM6 ROM instaled but it doesn't help and I tried everything that is possible to try on my phone when searching this forum
I just noticed that when I do *#06# to get IMEI on my phone, it shows IMEI with two 0 at the end. IMEI number under battery is without 00. Could flashing my ROM changed the IMEI number?

no
There does appear to be a new IMEI changing app up in the dev's forum though. If you need it.
If you've installed the ROM and it's still locked, maybe you need to update your radio? But if it works for even a few minutes, it probably isn't SIM locked. Otherwise it should give you "sim error" or some-such.
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.

I have a Treo 750v - UK Vodafone which i unlocked using cheetah unlocker, even though i managed to get to step 3 on the cheetah unlocker which should flash radio back to original, it didnt.
Problem im having now is that the phone works on Orange and T-Mobile UK but no longer works on Vodafone and O2 UK.
Im assuming this problem is with the radio, how can i remove this?
I have tried the method with a MiniSD card, it flashes the bootloader but still gives me the same problem and Olipro Hard-SPL 1.40 is still on the phone
Does anyone have a solution PLEASE? or a workaround so i can get at least Vodafone working again?
