hi,
i tried upgrading to wm6 with the generic unbranded upgrade issued by palm recently. everything went well till after the upgrade was complete in the progress bar. the device rebooted for reloading with wm6 but did not go past the 1st windows mobile screen to load the home screen. the phone does not turn on either. i tried waiting for a couple of hours for the phone to load completely but nothing happened.
the active sync or the computer does not detect the device as anything when connected with the computer, since the phone is not loading till that point. its stuck on the windows mobile screen that comes right after a reboot.
i cant restart the upgrade since active sync is not detecting the device.... tried hard reset but still stuck on the same screen.
please help someone.... thanks,

Try to reflash using miniSD method (described 1000+ times and on wiki).
Can you load bootloader (side-button + reset)? If you have bootloader running everything should be good
dont know what you mean
hey... thanks for your reply, but i am afraid i have absolutely no idea what you mean by that. could you please walk me through it? i will try and search for the boot by card method you have written about but incase i dont find it, can you post a link to one of those discussions? and also the other one, both containing detailed step by step instructions. i really dont understand a lot and am certainly not meant for this site but i was directed here cause i posted this problem on the google groups... someone asked me to come here that i will get some answers here...
thanks a lot and sorry for the bother..

1. Using winrar unpack Updater_something_something.exe
2. Find CHEEIMG_FW.nbh there (it's about 83MB).
3. Format your card to FAT32 (usining Windows and card reader). Make sure twice that this is FAT32, not FAT(16).
4. Copy CHEEIMG_FW.nbh to formatted card.
5. Rename CHEEIMG_FW.nbh to CHEEIMG.nbh
6. Put card into your Treo. Plug charger to Treo.
7. Holding PPT/Media button (one under volume keys) push reset (under card slot) with stylus.
8. You should get bootloader screen (red green blue).
9. If you made previus steps right Treo should ask if you want to flash rom.
10. Press power button (red) to confirm.
11. Watch progress bar while Treo is being flashed (it will take about 15(?) minutes).
12. After upgrade make hard reset (reset holding power button, then "up" to confirm).
13. Enjoy new system
I think this is most detailed procedure described on this forum
i checked on wiki... no options to flash cheetah. plus from what i understand from information on other phones, the device needs to completely load for flashing from the SD card. ofcourse i dont know if i was looking at the right article either... or searched for the right article... fyi i searched for 'flash' since 'reflash' and 'reflash using miniSD" turned up dry...
guess i will have to depend on you again to give me the link to some page which relates to the problem i am facing...
thanks,,

I can assist you online via msn or icq (check my profile) almost hour from now, then I have to go.
hey thanks for the offer, really appreciate it... i infact have to go for a freinds wedding... just am really jittery about this phone now considering that i only have this ppc. sold off the imate jasjam.. for this one. what i can do is i can try doing the flash thing and can post again if it worked or not... and if it doesnt, can we try the msn chat? i.e. if and when you are free for it...

try the recovery tool - should do the trick - is included in the installer...
Can you load bootloader (side-button + reset)? If you have bootloader running everything should be good
hey... i have been trying to do the entire procedure, unfortunately my card reader is not working thus am unable to save the updater on the card. but the bootloader screen is possible, i tried it. although nothing happened... the 3 colored screen came in with 'serial' written at the last color band...
so what should i do with that again?
thanks,
Kunal
1. Using winrar unpack Updater_something_something.exe
2. Find CHEEIMG_FW.nbh there (it's about 83MB).
hey... since my card reader aint working, i tried to get into bootloader mode and try and do what you said through the computer... unfortunately the file name on the updater is only Treo750_2_23_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater
when i unpack it from the winrar... i get a couple of folders and then the updater again... so cant file the file that you asked me to find
Find CHEEIMG_FW.nbh there. so i dont know what to do...
any ideas? please help...
thanks,

found this in the palm support section for a recovery tool... think thats worked..
thanks a lot... God Bless...

As for you trying to get the boot loader, IT IS NOT A RED GREEN AND BLUE SCREEN, IT IS Grey... the RGB flashes on screen for a second and then goes to the grey bootloader..
then it starts the update progress if you hit the red power button like what was said earlier...
THIS IS WHAT YOU DO if it DOES NOT WORK you DID NOT do it right...
PRESS AND HOLD THE PTT/APP Button on the left side of the phone, RIGHT BELOW THE VOLUME BUTTONS..
As you are HOLDING THIS BUTTON, Use your stylus to hit the reset button **DO NOT LET GO OF THE PTT/APP Button*
when the screen comes to, and you see the bootloader screen it's ready to go..
And as for the rom, pick your poison, there are many to get, just look through the forums or use your favorite bit downloader to get ahold of it...
Load the ROM image like was said earlier to a miniSD (I used micro 2GB Sandisk and Mini Sleeve and it worked fine for me) but plug it into a windows machine, FORMAT IT and tell it the FILE SYSTEM is FAT32 and **NOT** Fat16 and THEN copy over the rom file, once it's copied put it into the phone and start the bootloader like I said earlier...
Easy as pie! Let it do it's thing, but leave it plugged into the charger cord not the USB.
If you get the "Serial" at the bottom, you used the wrong button, the ONLY one you need is the PTT/APP Under the Volume buttons..
Sticker shock only has a hold on me for a day or three, after that it's time to rip it apart and start modding.. if I break it, I don't give a rats arse, just get a new one and try again..

Hello to all, I am a noob here and have tried to adhere to all of the demands to do research and not post ?'s, but I am at a wall.
I have a Tilt and I ran the sim unlock and I was using the Sleuth 3.0 on it. Everything was working fine. I added the Iunlock cab and it worked fine as well. I then tried to install the icontacts, but i would have to go to program files and icontacts file in order to use I contacts. Well, wanna be innovative me thinks to try and move that file so it would replace something. I copied it to the windows appbuttons folder and deleted the regular contacts and nothing happened, then I put it in the start up folder and no luck, then I simply copied it to the windows folder not at the bottom where all of the extra files are. After that I tried to reset it and now all that I get is the bootloader screen. it reads as follows:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.Olipof
CPLD-8
At the bottom, it shows either USB or Serial depending on if the usb is plugges up.
I tried running the sim unlock again and the dutty rom and both load to 100% but it goes back to the same screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help and thank you so much.

You could hard reset if you altered something in WM to cause it not to boot...hopefully
I tried the hard reset and same thing I flashes for a very split second loading and then goes back to the screen.
Hard reset is both item buttons above IE and Mail with soft reset correct?

In case u dont know how to do it:

Or else search for MTTY. That helped a lot of ppl who got stuck in boot loader.

U need to hold the stylus in the hole longer, untl a message pops up on the page.
If it does not hardreset or help u, do what zeezee told u - flash a new rom.
OK, thank you all for you diligent assistance. I have tried the hard reset and it does the same thing...goes to black for about 2 seconds, then for a very split second goes to a grey screen and flashes loading then back to the bootloader.
I will try a search for the people stuck in bootloader and try flashing a OEM ROM, I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

I do not see any Mods here around or somebody yelling (search button is your friend,search the wiki everything is there, bla bla)To having a woman at home change everything.. Thanks..!
Before you try the dangerous MTTY method, you could try refresh a oem rom w/ the SD method
ok, I am flashing an OEM rom now, but what does it mean to do it with the sd method?

From youre sd card (memorycard), look it up in wiki. Moust of us flashaholics keeps oure rom on oure memorycard and just rename the rom/bootsplash/radio or whateva and place it in root then activate bootloader -> flash. This is an alternative for not using usb cable, pc and active sync
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
ok thanks, but am i correct in understanding that to do that I have to use the phone to access the mem card?
My issue is that the only screen I get is bootloader, no nothing else. I can't even turn it off. I can take the battery out to get a black screen, but any action to try something will take it back to the bootloader screen. But for some reason, it still allows me to flash the ROM, I think. I flash it on my pc and then my phone goes to the grey screen where it shows the % of progress. It reaches 100% and the pc tells me to click finished and I do then it goes back to the bootloader.

yes, just use a card adapter or something to acess youre card (if you cant connect via active sync) then copy the rom over and follow the steps in wiki. Beeing stuck in the bootloader some times aint the worse place to be stuck

I don't mean to argue with you here and you are right about research threads, but honestly it's easy to get caught up in frustration with the amount of information. Some authors are good at documentation and some skip steps along the way or extra links are in the threads.
I just switched over to Gullum's Diamond Rom and was I nervous upgrading "Yes" and did I read much that I could "Yes". Were the instructions to HardSPL, Jump were a little unclear "Yes" so people asking questions are legit to a degree but we shouldn't also be eagar to pounce on...

I agree with some of your remarks. Yes myself and others have jumped down people's throats yelling, "Search." One thing you have to remember though this is a developers forum, not a novice forum to help people making there phone look "cool."
Going into flashing / upgrading / modifying, you have to have a little bit of knowledge or time using Windows Mobile / Windows in General devices and machines.
Usually reading some background information can be a world a difference before jumping into this sort of thing.
I found the problem to stuck in bootloader. Thanks to all who have posted threads.

Aboslutely man. You go take care of your family. I will pray for God to guide you all through this trying time.
On the Kaiser note, I found after further studying of some threads, a solution to my issue where I was stuck in bootloader. I think this will apply to anyone that is stuck in bootloader with the usb/serial showing at the bottom and when they try to flash a new rom is goes to 100%, but the are still stuck on the boot screen.
After reading more threads, it appeared that there was some sort of disconnect between the usb and the phone. Since my PC was stating that it was successfully completing the flash, that shows that it was not getting any type of error from the phone. After reading a thread I simply blew in my tilt usb port and used my stylus to try to straighten it out as one of your post state to ensure the usb connection is straightor it may give mtty an issue.
Once I messed with my USB port, the phone came back to life and everything was fine. Everything was rebooted and all my info was lost however. I was even able to successfully flash a new ROM.
In closing, if anyone is stuck in bootloader mode and their flash goes to 100% and doesn't fix their issue, tell them to clean and straighten their usb connection.

I need help, I searched the forums and I did everything the forums told me to do but no go. . Im trying to put android on my htc hd2. First I installed the spl, that went through without a hitch I downloaded everything, from the customRUU.exe, to radio 2.15, to a rom android sense, i tried flashing both not at the sametime changing them to RUU_signed.nbh, and when i run the ruu.exe it give me an error. When i try the other way, by changing them to LEOIMG.nbh and ptting it on my storage car, and shutting my phone off then turning it back on by holdong the volume button down with the power button all i get is the tri color screen with either serial or usb, nothing more, no image screen to continue, so i have to take out my battery and put it back in to restart my phone to normal. Im lost the process is very easy to do, but im having problem and i cant find anything in the forums to fix them nothing seems to be working. please help and sorry to be such a noob to this.
Whoa there......... take a deep breath................
Inhale..............
Exhale...................
Ok.
You probably dont need to change your WM Rom to run android, just make sure your radio is higher than 2.08.xx.xx.xx etc...........
If you do wanna change it anyway then read this and watch the videos..........
Secondly, you dont flash android........
You put a folder on your SD card and run it like it was just a normal program.....
Read through this.........
Hope that helps..............

Depending on what version of Android you go it may have to make the data.img file (your Android 'hdd' if you will). This process can take up to 15min, during which your phone will just sit there on the hTc screen or console.
If your radio is >2.08.... and you have copied the Android folder to your SD card correctly, on your first boot it will take some time to make your data.img file, and set its self up.
Hope this help and you get it running!!!
black screen and green htc?..... sounds like it could be the evo build, if so that one took well over 20 mins for me on the first boot, then another 10-15 to launch sense.....
if you abort it halfway through the first boot you should start over again by deleting the file data.img if one was created......

heh too late.I left it on for about an hour, so I deleted it gonna start over thanx when I get home ill try out your advice out by taking out data.img.
I just want to let you guys know I got it baby finally got android working. Thank you all for your help and patience. Only one problem I see, it drains my battery.
Never been rooted. My phone froze so I took out the battery and when I turned it back on, the phone was stuck on the boot logo. I've entered into the hboot menu by holding down the down volume key + power. I selected "Factory Reset " but it does nothing. I also tried selecting "Recovery Mode", which makes some green arrows appear, then the phone vibrates about 6 times in a row and goes blank.
Can I load a ROM or something to save the phone?
I also tried removing the SD card when booting, plugging the phone into the PC, etc. Nothing.
Running Gingerbread 2.3.4
I've never rooted or anything but I can follow directions if there's a way. Thanks a lot for reading.
Oh, and when I plug the phone into the computer, it appears to create a drive letter in My Computer, but when I click the drive, it doesn't open.
Should I just warranty out this phone or is there any hope? thanks.
confirm your sd card is good first.
flash your phone with the rom you like.
I think it will be ok after you flash it.

Goto the glacier forum. Download the factory img file found in the rooting topics. Boot into recovery and let it flash completely. Should be good.
Or... U have a bad emmc and it is toastito's...
How do I flash the phone once I boot into recovery? do I drag and drop the IMG file somewhere on the SD card?
Sorry for the noobness.
When I plug the phone into the PC, a drive letter appears in My Computer - but nothing happens when I click it. Once I put it in recovery, the drive letter disappears.
How would I go about flashing if I don't have access to the files on the SD card?
Okay I got access to my SD card by plugging my SD card into a different phone then the computer.
There is no root folder available when doing it this way - so where would I install the flash file to?
**** never mind, I get what they mean by root...sorry, I'm retarded *****
I think I got it, I'll give this a try.
Okay. All it does is in Hboot, it checks and loads PDIMG15.ZIP, but then it just takes me back to the Hboot menu and the phone is still stuck on the boot screen.
it says...
"SD Checking PD15IMM.ZIP
No image or wrong image!"
Then reverts back to Hboot menu. Tryed formatting the SD card. Will try a different SD card next.
Different 8gb SD card = same results. No image or wrong image.
Appreciate it if anyone has a fix on this.
If anyone else is having this issue, I found a solution:
Go to T-Mobile and buy a SG2.
Problem solved.
This is supposed to a big Android site? thanks for nothing, guys!
I ended up just getting a new phone. Appreciate no one helping. Awesome awesome.

Actually you are in the general section question and answers. There is an Android Section Questions and Answers, and better than that...wait for it...A MYTOUCH 4G QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!!! Imagine that!! Im quite sure you would have gotten the answers you needed had you done a little searching and posted in the correct spot. Good luck with your new phone!
Maybe someone could of directed me there sooner? This site is confusing if it's your first time.
I know this is free...just saying. My post got a lot of views but almost no response.
Whatever. It's all good...thanks for replying.

There is a search bar ...there is forums..... each forum sorted out bu the phone you have each of those forums having subforums to "general Q&a development" and so on.... my question is if you didnt have it rooted why not just take it to the store directly??? Problems like that will asure new a new phone regardless....
Just my 2 cents
oh and this is an amazing site....
rooted 100's of phones with out ever joining and ive finally joined
....crazy how the search bar takes you long ways
From what i've been hearing- I should ditch my triumph and maybe get a samsung gallaxy2 prepaid. Until i have $ for that i thought I'd try the cygen mod.
My phone was already rooted. I tried to put on clockwork as instructed on various forums.when igot to the part about swpping the recovery image when i tried to boot into cw ( pressing power vlume up and down) all it does is vibrate with a black screen. I have to take battery out to stop it.
Then i realized I already had clockwork on the phone i forgot i had downloaded ROM manager( with the derbyhat clockwork orange eye logo) long ago.
When i plug the phone back up to computer i still get the mobile drive so is it still in download mode?
I tried : making sure my battery is charged
re-downloading various recovery images and swapping
taking the .img off the file before unplugging
making sure there no space before the word recovery
When i try and ress power and volume down the phone does nothing
when i press just power it just vibrates continuous black screen
when i press all buttons at once it just vibrates continuous
how do I get my phone back the way it was before i tried this or make this clockwork work? I've been searching on the net all day and can't really find a clear straight answer. I found some leads but the links were old and broken. I feel like a cat chasing my tail!
Also someone recommended reformatting the mobile drive so i did that and now there is nothing in that file except the new recovery img i tried to put there. No boot img or eetc. didi I make things worse??
I really need help now cuz I have no phone that works- I am constantly worried my kid might need to call me from camp and can't reach me!!
If you have a fix could you please explain it simply so a newbie or child could understand? i am not a developer or anything. Just a girl try ing to get her phone back working.
Thanx in advance !:crying:
Problem Solved
I ended up reformatting my mobile drive since i had also accidentally wiped out all the files. Then i found a link for all the files that were missing on another forum and i reinstalled everything. then i tried to boot my phone. it still did not work so i plugged the phone into a wall charger and then tried to power on and it worked.( the battery was dead). my phone was back to normal intact! :victory:
Same problem
My phone has the same problem as yours .I have been trying fo a week on multiple forums to find an answer with no success. I see someone replied to you about reformatting ,but as far as I know that would require the phone to function well enough to get into a mode of some kind . Please if you don't mind would you drop me an email ([email protected]) if you come up with a solution . It is making me crazy, LOL ..If I find a fix for this I will contact you here or you can send me contact info and I will email you : Thanks ,my name is Paul

From what i've been hearing- I should ditch my triumph and maybe get a samsung gallaxy2 prepaid. Until i have $ for that i thought I'd try the cygen mod.
My phone was already rooted. I tried to put on clockwork as instructed on various forums.when igot to the part about swpping the recovery image when i tried to boot into cw ( pressing power vlume up and down) all it does is vibrate with a black screen. I have to take battery out to stop it.
Then i realized I already had clockwork on the phone i forgot i had downloaded ROM manager( with the derbyhat clockwork orange eye logo) long ago.
When i plug the phone back up to computer i still get the mobile drive so is it still in download mode?
I tried : making sure my battery is charged
re-downloading various recovery images and swapping
taking the .img off the file before unplugging
making sure there no space before the word recovery
When i try and ress power and volume down the phone does nothing
when i press just power it just vibrates continuous black screen
when i press all buttons at once it just vibrates continuous

Well help hath arrived if you don't have it fixed already. I know XDA doesn't like it when we link to another site, but the Triumph guys normally hang out here: http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/ It's just more convenient for us. Honestly we were thinking about XDA due to XDA's excellent uptime (XDA is great, by the way) but AndroidForums stopped crashing years back so we stayed. Nothing against this site (I use both about equally) but we can continue the discussion here. Also, your fix lies here and don't read most of the first posts. The actual fix was from g60, and he kept a back up of Austrie's old files on his new server. The original link went dead, but you can find what you want here.
