hi,
I was wondering whether i can flash a Windows Mobile ROM on a Palm Treo 680. Although it has a Palm Garnet OS 5.4.9, is it possible to completely wipe out the internal memory which contains the Palm OS and freshly install/flash a Palm Treo 750 WM ROM?
Thanks
I don't think so because it would use different drivers for the phone. It would have to modified in some way first.
I wouldn't try it because you could brick your phone.
No you can't flash a WM ROM on that phone.
I have the slyvania 7" android 2.1 tablet..........Ok i see universal androot has worked on this device. Where is a link or instructions please. Second question if i root is that like unlocking a windows mobile device. And if so can you use a rom update utility to flash a new os say like cyanogen running android 2.2 with flash is this possible. I have unlocked and flashed phones before windows mobile i would think the same principals would apply here since its a similar device can any one help me? I know that on the htc touch pros you can download haret for android 2.2 and use gen y dual boot loader. Cant something like that also be placed on this there has to be a way even if you root and someone has the galaxy tab image that could be flashed on so full 2.2 and flash 10.1 and official android market. And those haret files have a working google market..
Hi,
I've got two TREO750 devices. Following the same procedure I've updated both to WM6.5: from 5 to 6.1 to 6.5. The OS and FW versions are the same. Weird enough the software version of the devices are different: one uses TREO750-2.27 while the other is still on TREO750-1.15.
A closer look shows that the full 6.1 image flashes all parts of the software successfully (according to the update screen). So it *seems* to work but is not.
Any clues about how to fix this? Thanks for your help!

did you update the HSPL on the device before updating the rom ??
after you update with the Hard spl then you can flash with any ROM, This thread hspl ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100

The original poster would not have been able to flash custom ROMs without flashing the HSPL
The problem is the method of flashing, either through USB or MiniSD. Flashing through USB using Palm's Desktop Updater program is the only way for the software version to update itself. When flashing through MiniSD the Software Version cannot update due to the lack of Palm's payload file.
Hi,
i updated my htc 7 pro to mango a few months ago. Now i wanna install some apps, that i downloaded. To be able to install those, an open phone is need.
Can you tell me, how i can jailbreak it, without downgrading back to nodo or windows phone 7, because i haven't a backup?
You have to do downgrade SPL and install HSPL and customROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19873059
when i've done this, i'm back at windows phone 7.0, is that correct?
Yes, but only on one moment because when you installed HSPL and customROM you have OS Version which has ROM (eg. 8107).
is there any other possibility that doesn't need flashing the rom, because i want to minimalize the risk to crash my phone?

I recently purchased a new HTC 7 Pro T7576 and am looking to unlock it to install the root tools.
I have spent several days trying to read up about unlocking prior to posting in this thread, but have not had much luck.
Based on my research, I understand that there exist several different type of unlocks. For the work I'd like to do with this device, I require that root tools are installed and understand that the INTEROP unlock would suffice for this as the tools are not native tools.
I have followed most of the instruction online with out much luck for setting up the device yet. The details of the device are:
Name: HTC 7 Pro T7576
Software: Windows Phone 7.5
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware rev number: 2250.21.51202.111
Radio software version: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Boot loader version: 2.2.5.0
The steps I've taken thus far are to take a backup of the device using zune, download the HTC_Interop_Unlock.xap and tried to install it using XAPDeployX-v0.9.
The error message I get back is:
Deployment FAILED with the following ERROR:
Failed to connect to device as it is developer locked. For details on developer unlock, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195284.
Is there any luck for this device?
Thanks!
Based on some additional reading... I would require to flash the boot loader and put a custom rom.
Can anyone confirm?
After several days of research, it appears that the Interop method does not work any more.
Additionally, can someone provide some direction? I'm looking to flash but the instructions aren't clear and I don't want to brick my device.
Thanks.
Any tips from anyone? I'm trying not to avoid bricking my device.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
My journey for unlocking this device is still moving forward.
From additional reading, it looks like my SPL is 5.2.2.5.0 which means I must downgrade it...
The only way I see so far is with a gold card.
Given I have an OTG cable? Can I use this cable? to somehow download the bootloader?
Hi,
use this Method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456200
This will work on my boot loader? Even with an SPL with 5.1.2.2250.0?
To close the loop, I used a goldcard image with the RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a_22.36.50.15U_by_ansar.zip to create the GOLDIMG.nbh to downgrade the firmware.
Was a bit finicky, but eventually it took the update.
Next to install a custom rom...
Update: Trying to install RSPL and HSPL, but no luck
Does the DFT tool work on these devices? I've tried to go through the 126 page DFT thread (below) but no really confirmation

If anyone can help this would be great!
Moving right along... Got the HSPL flashed. Had to use another PC.
The original PC I used was a VMWARE workstation with Windows XP, which did not detect the device.
Used a physical Win7 Laptop, everything worked just fine.
Now onto a custom firmware....
Hmm, tried to flash Dynamics v2.0, but it needs a special radio version.
I got the radio, but not sure how to flash it, can someone help explain how to do this with RUU?
Thanks.
Hi dustbyter
are you still interested in this topic? I just did the same on my HTC 7 Pro T7576

Hello,
I have been given a HTC 7 Pro T7576, Windows Phone 7.8, OS version: 7.10.8858.136, firmware rev. no. 2250.21.51101.401, hardware rev. no. 0002, radio software version 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U, radio hardware version A.102.0.D4, Bootloader version 5.11.2250.0, chip SOC version 2.2.5.0
I love everything but the OS of this phone.
I am a total newbie at mobile OS but have 10 years experience with Slackware linux.
Please help me out with detailed instructions to replace Windows Phone with Android on HTC 7 Pro.
Thank you!

I second this. Windows Phone 7 is a dead-end street. Therefore, nobody even cooks ROMs for these phones any more (the newest ones I could find are from 2013).
That's pretty bad since otherwise, the HTC 7 Pro is a good phone - I love its keyboard as my fingers do not seem to be compatible to touch screens
It was possible to port Android to legacy devices like the HTC HD2. Wouldn't it be possible to do that for the HTC 7 Pro, too? That would be, I think, the greatest thing since sliced bread
Kind regards,
