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
Maybe my search queries are wrong, or maybe I just am too new to WinMo to do this, but how do I get PBup to install and run on my Fuze?
You need to copy the .exe over to your phone either internal or storage memory and then execute the file from the phone.
It will then run you through a small series of menu's asking you what to backup and where to store the file.
Its really simple once it gets going.
Thank you.
I googled it, but the guides I was reading were telling me to connect the phone via mobile center and then run the exe on the pc and it would install on the phone... Or some tale akin to that.
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.

For England (750V) :

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.
I am trying to run the Topaz ROM file by transferring it from My PC which has windows 7 to my HTC Diamond 2 phone but I get a communication error. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
syrian
must have windows active sync program
Assuming you are trying to install a custom ROM and you have successfully installed HSPL, rename the .nbh file to TOPAIMG.nbh and copy to the root of your storage card and enter bootloader mode. It will flash that way as well.
If it is th estock ROM, you can also enter bootloader while connected to your PC and bypass Active Sync and then run the .exe.
Yep, Sync the phone with the windows, works with windows 7 (must download a seperate software form microsoft site), install HSPL, and than use customRUU, or the provided installer with the Rom to install it.
I think you should visit this thread. You'll find a lot of useful stuff there, including all you should know about flashing ROM, HardSPL, etc.
Enjoy!
I've not installed anything on the phone before.
I tried to copy a cab file to the SD card but I've got problems as the phone thinks there is no SD card present.
Can I copy the cab file to the phone's memory? I cannot see the phones memory through explorer on my PC though do I need some special software?
Srry if this is a stupid question I did search but found nothing
Try installing MS ActiveSync. Connect the HD2 to the PC using the usb cable. Once installed, you will be able to see the HD2's files in Windows Explorer. Just copy the cab file to a folder. Disconnect the phone and launch the cab file from the phone's file manager.
Cheers
Microsoft says Active Synch will only work with XP SP2 and earlier I have XP SP3.
Is there anything else I can use?
What does everybody else do - do you not install anything via PC to the phone?

For Vista or Windows 7 the used tool is called Microsoft Mobile Device Center (MSDC). For Windows XP (even SP3) active sync has to be used. Did you try it to install? I´m sure that it will work.
To install applications at your mobile device do the following steps:
a) connect it via active sync
b) using your PC´s Explorer to copy the cab-file containing your application to your mobile device and remember the place you copied it
c) disconnect your mobile device
d) using your mobile device´s go to the directory you copied the cab-file and start it
This way your application will be installed
But I´m sure you would have found the answer without asking here. Mr. Google knows it already

XP SP3 here, ActiveSync works with no problems.
As to the installing files to device - you may run out of memory soon, so I'd suggest buying even the smallest card (although preferably min 2GB, if you intend to toy with SD Android at some time)
