Hello everybody!!
I am a beginner in ROMupgrading issues, but i would really love to give my prophet a new soul
So i downloaded 2 cooked roms here, and tried to install them.
Both recommended doing a HardSPL. But after copying the jumpSPL and running it(white screen on Prophet), the the "RomUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe" crashes while "receiving information from phone" without any error message...
I use a fully updated windows 7, did anyone face similar problems or has solutions?
Thank you VERY much
PS: I already tried the XP mode AND running the update utility as an Administrator, but both had no effects
Anybody?
I've just found out, that its not the hardSPL, but I now think its the main flashing tool...
Do I have to install activeSync or is the new Tool (Vista, W7) also ok??
THX for help!

Hello!
I had been using Helmi_UNI_AKU3.5_v1.3 for a while, today i tried to flash WM6_TrueNeytral rom and now my pda is dead. Before that i enabled the RAPI using the enableRapi cab, as my pc kept on saying that "Cannot copy files". But after enabling rapi, i tried again and i was flashing WM6_TrueNeytral rom, half way thru flash(after creation of partition's), i got some error message [some lame win error- i am using win xp xp2). And now my PDA is not working.
I had a some prob before when i had tried to upgrade Phorpeth IVVV, but i used HELMI rom to repair and overcome the problem...
Please tell me an GENRIC version of ROM which i can use to repair it.

I would suggest restoring your Doc table with MTTY, then upgrade your BootLoader version if you have not done this allready and re-flash the rom of your choice.

I think you are on the wrong forum.
universal is NOT the name of universal rom versions for all ppc's, but rather one particulair kind of ppc.
greetings,
Wout
thanks

Have you tried installing one of JWright's ROM's?
Also, I have never heard of any of the ROM's that you are trying - I do know that you are using a Universal (since its called the PU10), so thats not the issue.
Additionally, try a different computer and cable - they may be causing the problems
i JUST BOUGHT A NEW O2 EXEC, AND TRIED MY BEST TO UNLOCK cid AND SIM, O2 APPARENTLY SHIP THEM UNLOCKED, SO I TRIED AND IT WAS. TRIED TO cid UNLOCK BUT NO LUCK KEPT GIVING ERRORS. SO I BEGUN THE INSTALL CROSSBOW LATEST, AND IT THEN WAS STUCK ON O2 SPLASH SCREEN, TRIED TO REFLASH WITH THINGONASTRING, NOW ITS STUCK ON BOOTLOADER, SAYING V2.01 AT BOTTOM AND SERIAL OR USB (WHEN CONNECTED), I HAVE LOOKED AND TRIED ALL OPTIONS, I TRIED UNI_EXTBOOTLOADER, AND THE OTHER ONE WHEN I WAS STUCK IN SPLASH SCREEN. NOTHING IS WORKING, THEN I TRIED TO SEE IF I COULD INSTALL OFF CD WITH O2 EXEC, BUT CANNOT FIND RUU. THE ONLY WAY I CAN NOW GET INTO BOOTLOADER IS FIRAT ATTACHING THE USB CABLE THEN BOOTLOADING, I CANNOT DO IT WIHOUT USB CONNECTED, BUT IF I TOOK THE USB OUT AFTER I HAVE GOT IT INTO BOOTLOADER, IT STILL STAYS ON. WHEN I ALSO PRESS THE RESET WHILST USB CONNECTED, THE LIGHT ON O2 EXEC FLASHES RED EACH TIME PRESSED?
ANY HELP WOULD BE GRATEFULL.... COULD THIS BE VISTA??? AS THATS THE OS I USE.
Please help, this is supposed to be a christmas present... i just couldn't help myself!!!!

Hi vistar,
Hopefully, you will have it sorted out by Christmas!
Yes, it is Vista problem and you need to change the USB Vista driver in your PC to XP driver.
I don't mean changing the Windows Mobile Device Center to Active Sync 4.5!
But the USB drivers. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
I believe that the first post should solve your problem. If not try the others. Basically, in Device Manager of your PC, the USB driver should be the old XP driver dated 2004!
Any other year won't do you good!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
KOR!
It is highly recommended NOT to use Vista ... even with the proposed driver patch.
I have developed a Radio ROM issue because of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347375
If you are using Vista, it is highly recommended for you to use Virtualisation and install XP.
I have been using XP under VMware forever without problems as far as flashing my Qtek is concerned ... until my Vista mis-adventure that is. I know that VMWare is not free, but you may want to give http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx a try.
I flash my two Universal at least once a day under Vista with no problems at all.
Flashing Radio, CE ROM and ExtROM with Vista hasn't created any problem for me.
Vista like XP automatically install latest update from Microsoft site, this update also includes drivers too.
Just before flashing make sure that your old 2004 driver is not changed to the latest 2006 or 2007 driver!
That's all folks,
KOR!
will try the threads above thanks, i have tried in vista, and also i use vmware too, with xp pro spâ. which seems to work better but get error ăđă, radio update error, i think i have wiped the radio??? as when the first screen comes up it says:

Radio:
EXT Rom:
Bla bla:
to:
Radio: 2.?.??
EXT Rom: 2.2.??
Bla bla: 2.2.??
I cant remember what numbers came up, but it was blank at top and version numbers at bottom.
any help would be grateful
ok i got it to work , through vmware, i ran PsiDOC_WM5_20041_Taster, which worked think its WM̀ still but its back on, I want WM̉ though, i'll try again.. some advice wouldn't go a miss. thanks.
Note: If anyone has problems blame vista..... Good OS, Bad PDA Partner...
ok every rom i try fails with the following: Error 114, Radio Rom Upgrade error.

If you have tried all the links I have given, you could have easily upgraded the ROM to Windows Mobile 6.
Read carefully, my above post #3.
Did you know that you could just flash the CE ROM (Main ROM), if the Radio is not flashing.
KOR!
KOR support center !!!
How do i Flash that alone? do i just remove the radio file from the WM6 folder and run RUU again??? just to confirm...
Thanks M8 much appreciated.

Read the four links, I have given you.
1. nk.nbf (CE ROM - Main ROM)
2. ms_.nbf (Extended ROM - Storage ROM)
3. radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
If the ROM is in .exe format, than excute the ROM without hooking your universal to the PC. In the temporary folder, you will find all the files.
Read,
KOR!
sorry what i meant was how do i flash the files to the device??? i have all the files ready..
do i remove radio from folder then execute RRU? or do i use a different way?
Thanks for your support KOR!!!
the later worked perfectly on my G4 device, i ran the update without the device attached, put into bootloader, and found all files in temp directory, then removed the radio file. connected the bootloaded device, then ran the update, it worked straight away, only in xp/vmware though.
Thankyou..... I really mean that KOR..

Hi Vistar,
You are welcome. If you download the drivers from the first link in post #3, then you can use Vista without any problems to flash your device.
Just make sure that the driver is dated 2004 before flashing the device. Check the driver for the Portable Devices ->USB Disk in the Device Manager of your PC.
Best Regards,
KOR!
BTW, I did reply to your PM.

Perhaps that's because both your Unis are G3 - and mine is a G4.
Hi everybody,
maybe anyone can still help me.
It seems it kind of f''''d my Device by installing SPB Software, at least it doesn't boot anymore, neither does Hardreset work out.
So the last Solution might be flashing the ROM via bootloader.
When starting the Update-Utility i always get stuck with a Connection Error (262).
yes, yes, i use Windows Vista (get the same error with XP btw).
I also installed the latest USB Driver and upgraded WMDC to 6.1 using the HowTo in the Hermes Section of this board, but unofrtunately it does not work either.
Still Error 262...
Any advice highly appreciated :-(
p.s.: i started another thread since the other one mainly deals with my hardreset problems and seems ppl dont read it anymore. excuse me if i get annoying, but im getting a bit desperate
Hello,
before I get into my problem description: yes, I did read all (or most of) the upgrade and troubleshoot guides in this forum, but I still can't figure out what's going wrong when I try to flash a 6.1 ROM. So any help is appreciated.
Device: G3 S200
here is what I did:
hardSPL
flash the ROM with a 6.1 ROM found in this forum (I tried 4 or 5 different ones by now)
hard reset
the problem: the device is stuck in the tri-colored bootloader screen after the upgrade (I still have the USB connection)
I can go back to the old AKU2.2 image, but any upgrade to WM6.1 seems to fail.
A more bit of info: I did successfully upgrade my device to an AKU 3 image a year (?) ago (following the instructions from this forum). That worked like a charm.
My PC runs XP SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5.
Does anybody have any idea, what could be going on? I would hate to have to go back to an AKU 2.2 ROM :-(
Thanx a million!
Katrin
successful upgrade
Hello,
just wanted to report back that after some more trying, I finally managed to get a 6.1 image working. I used the "alternative lazy tool" mentioned in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547 with a pdaviet rom.
Thank you to everybody on this forum for all the great work and for sharing it with the rest of us!
Thanx,
Katrin
- I am so glad that I can continue to use my S200 -
Hi guys, i have the palm treo 750 with the wm 6.5 and o need to go back to the original wm 5.0. I've tried everything but no results. i put the rom in my sd card in did the hard-reset, but didn't loading at all, i tried many differents roms, but none of them worked. It shows that tri colour screen with these informations: Palm Tr ( IPL- 0.20)
Palm tr (SPL- 0.24.0000
Another thing my treo doesn't connect with pc, so i have to to do everything with sd card.
I'm using windows 7 64bits.
Please help me i need to downgrade
Thanks
You can't flash a ROM from an SD card without doing a successful HardSPL first. By virtue of your post (SPL- 0.24.0000) you haven't done it correctly yet.
I don't know if there is a way to HardSPL the phone from an SD card. Search this forum to see if anyone has reported doing it.
PS ... don't go back to WM5. There are many official and stable versions of WM6.0 which is much better than WM5.
Thx, but i still not having any result, if anybody else can help, pls, i'm trying everything.
Well, obviously you aren't trying everything ... like doing simple research.
A quick Google search turned up that Palm doesn't have (or plan to put out) a 64bit USB driver for the Treo 750. That would explain why you can't connect it to your PC.
This thread on the subject is pretty old, but then again, so is the phone ...
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/crawl_message?board.id=activesync&message.id=2978
So, you might want to find a PC with a 32bit OS on it and try getting your Treo to sync to it instead. If that works, then installing a factory ROM will be fairly easy. Keep in mind, you might have to edit the payload.xml file because the installer will see a more recent version of the ROM already on your phone (assuming you really have WM6.5 on it now).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345531
There are plenty of official WM6.0 ROMs available. That would be your best option. You can find many of them here:
http://rapidshare.com/users/PJNMEM/?byfilename=1&password=&subpassword=
Problem solved, just install a program that made my mobile come back to the wm 5.0.
Thanks all
