It isn't working on my 750. D:

I run it, and it remains locked to AT&T, despite numerous attempts. That, and running magic_unlocker now lists me having 51 attempts at unlocking it. Help! (I'm on the official 6.0 firmware, didn't work on the AT&T ROM, so I also attempted cross-flashing to the unlocked ROM. It still didn't work)

can't finish loading update

I use treo 750, & did hardspl, it's done, Then loading to CHEEIMG.nbh, but when update the files, that update can't finish, stuck on about 80% & stop, what should i do ?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] NickMl:
It says that I've attempted the unlock 81 times, please wait until timeout. From what I gather, I'll have to wait a month with it on before I can unlock it. Do you have a utility to reset the unlock attempts?

How can I back up my SPL and Radio?

I am interested in flashing a custom rom for my treo 750. I see that I need to update to hard-spl (as of thread: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-511763.html) for sure to upgrade to custom roms and maybe the radio, about the radio I still not sure if it is necessary, first of all, if somebody can tell me when it is necessary to change it that would be great .

In addition, my main question is how can I backup my current SPL and radio? I want to be prepared just in case something happens after upgrading to a new hard-spl and radio.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] erdc:
When I attempt to unlock my locked vodafone Treo 750 per the method mentioned in page 1, everything goes on the way, but the SIM unlock isn't happening. When I insert the SIM after running step 3, I get this:

You have tried 81 times, please wait until timeout....

The app is sim lock, and I can't go to any other window. By the way I can upgrade to wm 6 or downgrade to wm 5. As I see I can not upgrade the radio rom of the phone.

Any help will be apprecitated.

Thanks to the forum.

Having trouble getting the Step 1 to work with ATT Treo 650 running TREO750-1.13-ATT. Keep getting 260 error at the status bar. Have done a hard reset on my phone at this point but no change.

Using the cheetahUnlocker from the xda ftp site and have athena_unlock.exe and CHEEIMG.nbh from the Treo750UnlockFiles.zip referenced on WM65 upgrade threads

It gets to the point where I get the status bar. On my phone, it asks me to run enterbotloader.exe & JumpSPL.exe and after I accept, I get to the color bar screen (bootloader I presume) and it times out after a minute or so.

Any thoughts?

Currently running the ATT 6.0 build:

GSM On CDMA

Hi, I have tried searching this website and cannot seem to find a solid answer. I hope I don't get everyone in a frenzy over my post. What I would like to know is I have used all the tools and things that I need to sim unlock and cid unlock my phone. It is a Palm Treo 750 Branded by AT&T. I was wondering why I am unable to get this to work on the boost network. Is this due to the fact that I must have a GSM phone and trying to put it on a CDMA network? I have also read many places that I am actually on a IDEN network right now cause I am pay as you go on Boost and that if you go to monthly unlimited by Boost that you will work off the sprint CDMA network. Is this true and if I changed my plan to the CDMA would this AT&T phone unlocked work on the it?

Thanks in advance for any help like I said I have been searching for the answer for quite some time now and still am not sure what the problem is.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] backspacepc:
It should work, unlocked phones normally work on any network.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] arc20052000:
Boost mobile is not gsm or cdma it is IDEN, which I believe is related to the Nextel network. Pretty much an animal of its own. Sim carded phones only work on GSM or IDEN in the case of boost.

Problems unlocking Treo 750V especially Vodafone? Read on........

I have noticed that several users report problems with unlocking, particularly those of us with Vodafone images. Having spent the past couple of weeks trying to unlock my Vodafone Treo and failing abjectly until this afternoon I thought I would post my experience in case it helps.

Olipro's tool always appeared to run correctly but I never got prompted to run athena_unlock on the Treo, and the SPL never updated regardless. In fact there were general difficulties in comms between the Treo and my PC and since I am using Windows 7 Home Premium I thought that this was the issue. I read somewhere that having COM ports defined on the Treo (for use with BT GPS) was an issue - as indeed it is. Once I deleted the COM ports the activesync connection was stable, but this did not resolve the basic problem!

After a break I tried our friend Google looking specifically at the SPL issue and came up with this post from xda developers, actually on the Wizard forums: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=329170. Now this tool won't actually fix the Treo but the interesting bit is the first stage where you have to enable RAPI and unsigned apps. After running this option a couple of times it appeard to stick and this made the difference!

I was now able to follow Olipro's directions, although I did end up copying the athena_unlock.exe onto a memory card and running it manually on the Treo. Worked like a charm. So, I suspect that the difficulty and difference in experience for many of us may be attributable to whether we have the registry changes to enable RAPI and unsigned apps variously set. Anyway, many thanks Olipro and Cmonex!

Is HardSPL SD flashing possbile for Treo 750? I mean, copy the HardSPL NBH on SD and load USPL on Windows Mobile and it goes straight to the Bootloader where it would detect the H\ardSPL NBH file..... I'm asking because i am havig a hard time loooking for a sync cable.

Anyone with available USPL?

TIA

We probably need a ready made USPL for Cheetah.

Copy HardSPL on SD, load USPL on Windows Mobile OS, goes to the bootloader and detects the HardSPL NBH at so on....

I have a query with regard to this HardSPL business. I want to upgrade my Treo 750 to WM6.5. The thing is, if it gives me trouble or I decide I prefer 6.1, can I revert back to an official Palm ROM? Or once it is HardSPL'd do I have to use unofficial ROMs?

Upgrading from spl-0.24

Hi Folks,

I'm a total newbie at this, though I am proficient in IT.

My question is;

How do I go from spl-0.24 to 1.11, which is the mimimum requirement stated in the Hard-spl program that I downloaded from here.

Is there just a simple .nbh to get?, and drop it onto the SD (If so, anyone have a link?), or is it a more convoluted process?

The other question I have;

I am in Australia: Are the various different 'radios' region specific? Like, if I use the Hermes one that is mooted here, will that work fine over here?

Apologies for the dumb questions, and if similar have been asked. I have done that much reading I think I am going blind :|

Any help appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Mark.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Mark X:

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] grantleroux:
Hi there

A while back I had a problem with my Cheetah where it would permanently say "No Signal". So I took it for repairs and they fixed it by replacing the radio chip. They reflashed the software too so I lost my HardSPL. After I got it back, I HardSPL'd it again.

After a week the problem came back so I took it in for warranty repair. Now they say the IMEI number changed since they gave it to me last time so its not covered under warranty! Does any of the unlocking process (flash spl, unlock, flash radio back) change the IMEI number? Or are these guys trying to scam me?

Thanks

Does this work with a Palm Treo 750V?

I don't want to brick this one. I did with an other phone therefore my question
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
It does work, which I was able to unlock my 750v. The thing is, I had to run the Hermes v3 unlocker, which I hope the attachment uploaded properly.

Like you, I bricked my Treo, but I recovered it by flashing a Palm OEM ROM. So what I did was I ran the attached Hermes unlocker on my phone, and selected the Super CID option, and then I was able to flash the Custom SPL. Hope it works for you.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Samueldw:
Thanks Mangatron, it succeeded. Not the fist time but it did the second time. Now I will try one of your roms.

try to install with this Netframework Pack 2.0

maybe you can do so through a mini - SD card, about the guide look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644862
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
If you want, all my ROM's include .net Framework 3.5 already. Personally I do not like installing it when Framework 2.0 is also present on the device, not only does it take up valuable space, but it can present conflicts without the Microsoft configurator.

I posted the sim unlock in the previous page.

Treo Unlocker

I believe that works. I cannot confirm as my Treo was subsidy unlocked. Do tell us if this does unlock your sim.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
This other unlocker, was it called "athena_unlock.exe"? I would also like to know if you at least checked the option "super CID" in Magic Unlocker, as it is necessary for the next step.

Inn the link that Hakim posted, I mentioned how to flash the Cheetah Unlocker radio to your phone. You must look in the root of your Boot Drive on your computer for a folder called "TempChe" when you try to run the CheetahUnlocker (do not exit CheetahUnlocker), and there should be a "CheetahPatched.nbh" in there. This is the file you need to copy to a Fat32 formatted non-SDHC MiniSD, ad rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh before you put this card in your Treo. Then press the reset hole behind the MiniSD cover on the Treo while holding the PTT button (below the volume buttons) and then that tri color screen should show up. Follow the instructions, and then when it's done, let the phone boot, and then try Magic Unlocker or Athena_unlock on the Treo again. After this happens, see if your sim card works, and then proceed to flash a Palm OEM ROM to put a better radio back into your phone (it is still unlocked), and then you can have fun with Custom ROMs.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Okay, this happened to me before. What the most likely cause is, is that the MiniSD needs to have the CHEEIMG.nbh file re-copied. Make sure the card is FAT32 formatted and 2GB or less, suggestions for sucessful formats are: do a full format instead of a quick format. When formatting is done, remove the card from your computer, and then re-insert it. Then re-copy the CheetahPatched back onto the card, rename to CHEEIMG.NBH, and then re-enter the tri-color screen.

I'll be monitoring this thread, so do post whatever you need help with. All along I felt Magic Unlocker wasn't entirely unlocking, so I really want to get to the bottom of this theory of sim-unlocking via MiniSD.

Also, if my above method still does not work, I have some more options, so do let me know here.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Ok I see. Here's what we'll do: tell me the file size of that RUU_signed.nbh, it would be even better if you can somehow upload that, then I will go through that file and see what's up with it.

In the event that file is not the CheetahPatched that I have, then I will upload that so you can try it. I will also let you try a Palm Reset method to make the phone see files on your card, hopefully that works. Note that I only use Mediafire to host my files.

I do know the CheetahPatched.nbh I have is the patched radio, as I flashed that a few weeks ago.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Ok I see what this is. Apparently all this time I have been telling you to flash the SPL :p So here's what we're going to do now:

I need you to run the "CheetahUnlocker.exe" file again, go through it as if your phone was connected, and when it finally gets to verifying your phone, just let it be, and it will say it can't. But CheetahUnlocker will continue and you should see the option to "Unlock Radio", this is what you click and then the "TempChe" folder should now have the CheetahPatched.nbh. This is what you copy to your card.

If that still does not work, I will proceed to give you a MiniSD card flash method from Palm. This is Palm's method of flashing their ROMs to your Treo without a cable. What I need to do is trick the Palm software into thinking what I'm going to give you is an official file, so you will have to wait about 8 hours from now as right now, my isp is really slow for downloads/uploads and I don't want to upload corrupted files for you.

Hopefully this will work, as I have no idea why you cannot flash the SPL file (the one you just uploaded). That is supposed to be flashable, which is why I suspected your card, I use a 256MB MicroSD in a MicroSD-MiniSD adapter to flash from the card, and if I remember correctly, someone else here had a problem with a 2GB card.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
So this is what happens when put CheetahPatched.nbh onto your card? Hmmm.... try re-inserting your card into the Treo again, sometimes my Treo has a difficult time detecting a card.

If not, that means that you really do need to flash the SPL. But we know that doesn't seem to work, so let me try my official method. You might hear from me after a really long time, as now my isp has dropped to an abyssmal 8KB/s speed, and I get a lot of timeouts trying to access this forum :S
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
I'm actually in the Capital, but my wireless carrier has a bad history with weekend connection stability.

Last important info I forgot to ask you: I need to know some info of your phone. Got to Start-Settings, tap the System tab, and click the "About" icon. Click the Phone tab and I need to know your "Software version" and "Firmware".
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Hmm, for some reason I still cannot attach files to this forum...

Okay, let's try this first. Download this and extract the contents to the root of your Fat32 formatted MiniSD:

custom SD updater

Important notes:

-This most certainly will Hard Reset your phone, so before proceeding, I highly suggest you backup your personal data.

-You do not have to reset, hold buttons or anything. This is an automated process that you can only use when the Treo is on (when your phone is on, Today screen and all). Once you insert your card the Treo should automatically autorun the updater.

-I have supplied the SPL inside, as it is the main obstacle for you in regards to unlocking the sim. As it stands, one cannot flash the patched radio unless their phone is HardSPL'ed.

It's unfortunate, but as a ROM cooker I practically destroyed my Software Version, Hardware Version, and Serial Number, so I cannot test this. What I need to know from you is: does this SD Updater work, when the MiniSD autoruns, does it say "this device is not supported", and also it might help if you remove the sim card before doing this.

If you are capable to, you can also use this method to flash the patched radio. What you need to do is create an MD5 hash out of the CheetahPatched.nbh file (Name it as CHEEIMG.nbh before creating the hash), and then replace the respective files in the root of your MiniSD.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Now that is interesting. Maybe after all this time, it was always working, but your card was not valid.

Try searching online for "Panasonic SD Formatter", because I always use Windows 7 to format to Fat32, but when my card has errors that SD Formatter is always my first choice to totally full format cards.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Hakim Rahman:
I think, you can use the features CHKDSK on your own computer to check the SD card
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Well, if you have the Hard SPL now, you can unlock the radio by flashing that CheetahPatched file, then run that Athena Unlocker, and then flash a good radio and then you should be unlocked :)

To check if you have the custom Hard SPL, reset the phone while holding the side button (below the volume buttons) and you should see a "SPL-1.40.Olinex".
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Hmm. I don't suppose you can get that "Cheetahpatched" file out of the CheetahUnlocker? Unfortunately, I'm unable to upload that, but if you can somehow get that file, you should be able to flash that via your MiniSD. After that, that's when AthenaUnlocker should work.

See if you can install .NET framework 3.5. Whenever I come across a program that needs 2.0, I just install 3.5 SP1. Though, it looks like you are on Windows 7. I think that comes with it already....

But see if you need files related to "Visual C++ 6.0 Runtime Library". The programs from XDA-developers usually need those stuff.

I'm not feeling well right now so I'll be back 12 hours from this post.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
Hi Experts,

I have Palm Treo 750 (without camera) running WM 6.1. My goal is to install the custom ROM "Hermann v3 WM 6.1".

The instruction said that I have to first do a HardSPL. So, I tried to use Cheetah Unlocker.

When I am trying to execute the 1st Step (Flash SPL) , the app says this Unlocker App is intended only for SPL 1.1. When I checked in my Treo, it reads "SPL 0.24".

So, I could not run with the Unlocker. Now, I don't know how to proceed?

1. Is Cheetah Unlocker applicable only for SPL 1.1?

2. My Treo is already SIM unlocked. Do I still need to Hard SPL to install the custom ROM?

Plz help!!!

Regards,
