[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
Hi,

A quick update... I have successfully flashed the Hermann's v3.0 ROM to my TREO.

My original Treo was running WM 6.1 with SPL 0.24. Because of this SPL version mismatch, I did not use Cheetah Unlocker. I directly went ahead and used "RUUWrapper.exe" to update the ROM.

Note: Even the ROM Updater App says this ROM is intended only for SPL 1.1. But, I could successfully patch it without any issues.

This ROM is awesome. Hats of to the expert chef :)

Regards,

Vishnu

Ah, I was wondering where have you been :) Nice to see it's all working out. Honestly, I think that Windows XP is the best compatibility for most of these old programs, but why that is, I don't know :p
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
No problem, I'm probably the only tech support left on this forum :D

wowser, I just checked some of the links in that "list of WM6 ROMs" thread, and they're dead. In fact, I don't think any other links work other than the latest custom ROMs here.

It's a shame too, I've got one heck of a collection of Treo750 ROMs, ranging from the WM5 Cingular ROM, and all English WM6 updates from Version 2.18 - 2.30, and practically all custom ROMs from various people, including nav's, chaimd's, chinese-built ROMs in english, and yet I can't upload them.

To be honest though, my Hermann ROMs are the result of 2 years of having used every one of those ROMs, and the experience gained from them, so chances are if there's one thing you liked (or would have liked) from those, I'm sure I got it covered in my Hermann ROMs ;)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Thanks, but with a horrible postal system this country has, sending you a DVD would definitely arrive next year, no kidding :p

My best bet would be to use a competing wireless service (that doesn't have an 800MB bandwidth limit), but I loaned my 3G modem to someone so that will have to wait :(
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Thanks, I certainly do hope I can get a chance to upload all of them. I originally wanted to do that as one last hurrah for the Treo750, so that users can see how it all progressed throughout the years. 4 years ago.... still a nice d-pad + keyboard combination :D
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] EASTERWICK:
Treo is fading off

is probably obvious that palm treo/window htc is fading off but now people r more conversant with it

pls old user who knows how to tarcle with screen touch not sometime work shud pls help me
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
OK, everything's tested and works.

expect a Hard-SPL and sim unlocker shortly.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Can't decide which ROM to start with as a base for modification. All the released ROMs and the leaked ATT ROM appear identical as far as the OS and Palm widgets goes. The various radios have different versions, but from reading the forums I can't tell whether one is truly better than another as far as stability and reception. hmm. I'll take the radio from the latest Voda release and see what we get.

I guess to start out I'll do what I did with Wizard ROMs and strip carrier stuff out, add some ringers and perhaps a few of the free utils. I'm not big on adding commercial software to cooked ROMs that are made public...hypocritical yeah, but still.

Any suggestions?

Olipro will release his unlocker soon, and I can tell yall now that both he and Pof are deserving of big time praise and thanks. I don't think either one of them sleeps...ever. And both are extremely generous with their time and expertise. Donate to their beer/vacation/device fund if you can. =)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] trjons:
I have the leaked AT&T wm 6 but it won't let me do online banking like WM5 did....

I assume we can cook around that.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] davidtang:
thank your hard work

waiting your end news
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Depends on what the problem is. It could be as simple as the change in user agent that is reported by the browser and WF not having added it to their approved list. I'll see what I can find out. Do you know if any other WM6 devices can access WF?

A sure fix, one that I implemented recently, is chaning my bank from Wells Fargo to WaMu. Much happiness. =)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] trjons:
Yeah I get WF fine on my TyTN WM 6...and changing the User Agent through PIEplus didn't help on the 750....

so I am confused.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
Unlocker is complete.

uploading it now
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Hmm. Do you know the exact user agent reported by your 8925?

Are you getting an unsupported browser error from WF?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
Cheetah Hard-SPL and SIM/CID unlocker is now UP
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
*deleted*

Never mind, my mistake.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
There isn't a password on the RAR.

I heartily recommend that you redownload
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
and Remember; if you see a funny colour on one of the tri-colour bars. then just bear in mind I'm currently checking your phone's radio
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
I noticed that :) That's why I edited/deleted my post - I had archive partly downloaded.

With hard-spl I can use cooked roms, right? What tools I can use for cooking? :cool:
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
essentially the same as Hermes.

this whole device is a Hermes hacked up into something else
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Firestarter:
Can i just pick a Hermes rom ? or did someone already tried to flash it with a Hermes Rom.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
I wouldn't suggest going quite that far down the Hermes route. =) There's likely enough difference in the hardware (graphics device, buttons, etc) that it wouldn't run very well. Hermes radio code *does* run nicely on the 750, and Olipro's unlocker will flash one of the better versions to the Treo after unlocking.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
you can try it, but I doubt it
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
Installation Process

Please excuse my ignorance, but how do you install or run this program to unlock your device.

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] pderosa:
My question is by running this software will I immediately have to load a new ROM? Will I lose all the registry tweaks that I have done to my current ROM. I would like to unlock my phone, but I don't have time today to mess with all the setting to get them right.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] markmat:
Is the radio flash part of the unlocking step, or is it a seperate option (one of the optional steps mentioned in the first post). I've got a non-locked 750, so I don't really want to mess with that part if I don't need to.

thanks

Mark
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE AND READ THE ****ING INSTRUCTIONS.

I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION ON MY FIRST POST, SO USE YOUR ****ING EYES YOU IDIOT.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] KTamas:
Had to manually install the two cabs. But everything works now :)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] markmat:
Like your sig says..... no dumb questions, just offensive answers.....

I couldn't run the software at the time as I was sitting in front of a Mac.

Anyhow, apologies if I didn't word my question very clearly. I was trying to understand whether I could flash the radio without running the unlock step (since summiter was suggesting that you're using a better radio version). Now that I've been able to run the .exe file I see that this is possible.

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
No problem, let me know how it goes.

and yes, you're quite right, just offensive answers, by all means don't take them personally :)

Cheers,

Olipro
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] pderosa:
Must be doing something wrong. I keep getting error 270. It starts to update and goes to the bootloader, which seems to disconnect it from the sync. It then gives me the error and says that I might have application lock. Not sure what that means. Thanks for any help.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] trjons:
two quick questions and feel free to rail on me!

is the ftp server down?

can I install this without hard resetting my device?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] trjons:
Yes, didn't get them on the 8525 using WM6 but I do on both the 750 and 8925.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] new8125:
Finally got it!!!

Finally got the Treo 750. notice your utility says it must be synced via activesync, when i go online to download latest version of active sync, its says that this will now be managed through "Windows mobile device center"as i am running Vista...i hope it works..........

Update.....dont think it worked...how to check? dont have any other sim, didnt take anywhere near the 20 mins it was supposed to
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] georgedorn:
For ROM-Updates or tools like this it's much better to use Windows XP (with Active Sync 4.5) than Windows Vista (with WMDC). To do updates with Vista checkout this guide:

http://www.modaco.com/RUU-Vista-done-u-t252977.html
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] new8125:
Thank you for the link.....i learnt that the hard way..was awake till 3:30 AM trying to get this to work. definitely not good to do via Vista. I switched to my backup XP laptop and was able to do it.

Very simple in XP. you will require the latest .net platform. I am not sure if it was supposed to give me the errors I got (bad/ corrupt image file, etc). Was this because it was a quickie development from the Hermes tool? Did you guys get similar errors? Because of this I am not even sure if it is fully unlocked or if my radio file is the right one. how do i check?

However, I figured i would do the WM6 update and it went through. I figured as I was using a Cingular device and the ROM I was about to use is an AT&T ROM, I might be ok....
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] pderosa:
New8125- I got the same errors that you are reporting. I believe even though it states in the program that it was completed that it did not work. If you enter the bootloader, you can see the version. Mine is the same as it was before the update. I had already updated to the AT&T WM6 ROM, so I don't think that you need to have it unlocked to do that.

I am hoping that someone can explain where I am going wrong. I am thinking that it has something to do with syncing. When I start the process it is synced, but as soon as I click OK in the update window it loses sync and that is when I get the error that the file is corrupt.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] tmknight:
The Aussie 3 ROM to me is the cleanest and snappiest performer for a base ROM. As for suggestions as to what to add, I'd like touchFLO. Can't think of anything else I'd like to see as a forced install - prefer to install what I want when I want. But touchFLO needs to be part of the ROM as I understand it.

Thanks in advance if you can work this out.

Cheers
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
Finally figured it out. I was missing .NET Framework on my PC. Everything went well after that.

Thanks for this.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
You should be able to run the unlocker just fine on Vista.

Establish a WMDC connection - if successful you should be able to browse your device from your PC. (No need to set up a full partnership).

Once WMDC connection is established, start the unlocker. It should run through as intended from there.

If the unlock was successful, you should see SPL-1.40.OliNex as your SPL version when going into bootloader manually.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
Has anybody attempted to flash a Hermis ROM yet? I am tempted to try and see what happens, hopefully I will not dammage my Treo.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] pderosa:
I am actually running XP and Activesync 4.5. The unlocker starts and it loads itsutil.dll and jumpspl onto the device. I then have to manually tell the Treo to run these programs. I then get another dialog box from the unlocker that I have to accept a couple of things and make sure that my Treo is idle by waiting 30 seconds. All is OK to here. I then on my computer get the box that shows a progress meter at 0%. The Treo has entered the bootloader screen, but it has logged off from the activesync session. After about 10 seconds the status bar jumps to 100% and on my computer I get a message that it was unsuccessful and that I have a currupt file. When I return to the main screen of the unlocker it says that it was trying to copy the itsutil.dll and could not, and to check the connection, or possibly my application is locked.

I attempted a couple of times and the same results were repeated. What I'm not sure of is if there is something I need to do with the Treo such as enter into the bootloader manually or possibly change my activesync setting. My other thought is that I already have the leaked ATT WM6 ROM loaded on my device. Could that have something to do with it?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
You're not the first to ask.. =) I might try it just so I can confirm for everyone that it ends up an unuseable mess. If the display even works, I am quite sure the keyboard will either not work at all or the phone keys won't. Palm uses that annoying carrier/dial-lookup app to hook the phone keys.

What I might do though is take one of the later WM6 AKUs from a Hermes release and try to create a hybrid ROM with a newer core OS. Don't hold me to that though because I'm still working on a plain ol vanilla ROM based on the Aussie release. I might experiment with the pagepool on this one..stock is 6M I believe.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
Looking forward to your ROMs. I realy liked the ones you did for the Wizard. If I can help you in any way, just ask.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Has anyone actually had success running touchFlo on the Treo? I'd hate to go through getting it integrated only to find it runs like crap.

How about VoIP? Anyone have feedback on how that performs on the Treo over 3G?

PS. I haven't seen a lot of love and praise flowing to Olipro! We wouldn't be moving down this path without his tireless work. He spent at least 2 solid days coding and debuging the unlocker. He's modest, shy, and soft-spoken (haha), so I'll say it for him - if you benefit from his unlocker, either the SIM unlock or the ability to run cooked ROMs, consider donating something to him. There's a link in his messages.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
If step 1 and 2 completed OK, you should be good to go.

What shows up for the SPL version when you go into your bootloader? (press the small reset button while holding the PTT/Windows Media button on the side)

For the heck of it, can you download the unlocker again and run through step 2 and 3 again? To be able to select them, select the bottom window of the unlocker and press "@". That should enable the step 2 and 3 buttons.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
Hey Summiter. I thought that my flashing had been successful, but I'm starting to think that all is not well in Denmark. When I did as you described in order to go into bootloader and what it says is the following:SPL-0.24.000.

I think that this is not correct.

Thanks in advance
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Ah..yeah, not well.

Can you repeat the entire process? Be sure to allow the WMDC/Activesync connection to occur, and also watch your device since you might be prompted to allow the install of a dll.

When I get home in a couple hours I'll run through the process again and make note of any places where timing is important..in at least one place the connection dropped and you have to give it a bit to re-establish before proceeding.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] startngate:
Bootloader is showing SPL-0.21.0000

When I try to re-run Step #2, I get the same error. It's a .NET Framework error.

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. The system can not find the file specified."

Clicking either Continue or Quit both close the application.

The application file size (unpacked) is 13,971,456 bytes, and was the same both times I downloaded.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Just to confirm - you have the .Net framework 2.0 installed, correct?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] startngate:
Yes, I have Framework 2.0.

Another update ... managed to get Step #2 to start running, but am now seeing an "Error 270" The image file is corrupted please check your update utility.

After that a window comes up that says "Read This Through! Your device must be unlocked with a program, please configure your device and then connect and sync with Activesync. After doing so, click OK and watch your device screen.

After following through this, it appears to work, and I am able on the device to select the SIM and CID update, which completes, and I am able to go to Step #3 ... but when I run Step #3, the "Error 270" Update Error comes back up.

Not sure where to go from here. Thanks for everyone's help so far.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] new8125:
same problems i had. my SPL shows 0.24. suggestions?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] apvo:
I had the same error 270 initially. But after I copied the 2 cab files, Cert_SPCS.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab, from c:\TempChe to my treo and ran them, all works fine. Running step1, 2 and no longer receives any errror.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] edrego:
Can you cook at ROM that will support Blackberry Connect under WM6? I have an ATT 750 and would love to get BB connect running on it under Wm6.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] new8125:
can you please explain this once again are you referring to the Cert_SPCS & the EnableRapi? Do you just copy them into the root of the device and run them? Please list your steps
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] new8125:
can you please explain process in more detail? first time for me and i dont want to brick my phone..do you copy the two cabs to the root?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] apvo:
Here's what I did after getting error 270 on step 1 :

- While the Cheetah Unlocker is still open, go to C:\TempChe directory and copy the files, Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab, to root directory of a Treo and run both cabs on it.

- Close the Cheetah Unlocker and re-open it again and start Step 1 Flash SPL again following the steps in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=335661 and it works for me.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] startngate:
Copied the files, went to the other thread to follow the instructions.

After clicking on the button for Step #1, I was not asked to install the files, which I figured was because they were already installed from my previous attempts.

Have been stuck on the bootloader screen for some time now (5-10 minutes) which is now showing:

By Olipro and Cmonex

IPL-SSPL-OliNex

By Olipro and Cmonex

SSPL-1.01.OliNex

Anyone know if this is normal, or what the proper timeframe is for Step #1 to complete? Just trying to figure out if I am locked up, or lack patience ... :)

Thanks!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
By what your IPL-SSPL-OliNex says, you are ok.

By the way, Thanks Olipro for all you hard work!!!!!!!!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] startngate:
The phone is still sitting there in bootloader ... how am I OK?

It wouldn't reboot back to WM until I disconnect the USB cable and Soft-Reset. Trying to move to Step #2 gives me errors again.

I am at least back to SPL-0.21.000 and the phone works, but I have never managed to get all the steps to run without errors.

I'm giving up ... appreciate all the help, but this isn't working on my AT&T 750.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
Do a soft reset and try again. If not, try and download the unlocker and start over. That is what I had to do.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] startngate:
how long did it take each step to complete?

thanks!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
In all, about 40 Min. Matter of fact, I just finished. Everything is ok now for me. Hope this helps you.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] new8125:
I think its done

I was getting the errors as you can see in my previous posts. I was able to run step 1 & 2 without errors only after executing the cab files manually on the device. also, i had to execute the cabs again after step 1, else I was getting same errors. my SPl is finally changed. Does that mean its unlocked? How else to check?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] calancaster:
Having problems with Unlock program

I am still having a problem trying to use the Cheetah Hard-SPL and SIM Unlocker program after NUMEROUS attempts. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. (The text in blue is what was reported by the unlock program.)

I am running XP with ActiveSync. When I start the application, it appears to be running. I get the “UPDATING ROM” message but then my Treo disconnects from AS and I get the RED, GREEN, BLUE bars.

==Cheetah Debug Output==

==Made by Olipro with Cmonex - 2007. www.xda-developers.com==

-Version 1.0-

==Loading SoftSPL==

loaded 1000 bytes

Copying C:\TempChe\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll

Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?

try restarting your device, or restart Activesync or maybe your device is application-locked.

DEVICE IS NOW PATCHED TO HARD-SPL

Then I get the ERROR 260 message. So I performed a soft reset.

I then reconnected and it prompted me to go through the UNLOCK RADIO steps, so I follow the prompt on the screen and it goes through the unlock process and the screen on my device says SUCCESS!

==Patching Radio==

==Radio Patched! Now Unlocking!==

I then get the option to FLASH RADIO. I initiate that process and get the “Updating ROM” message again. My Treo disconnects again from AS and I get the Colored bars again on my Treo. I then get the ERROR 260 message again.

==Restore Radio==

So I have to perform a soft reset and it shows SPL-0.24.0000.

But when I EXIT out of the unlock program, I get a “Congratulations! Your Cheetah has been patched” message. However, I put in a T-Mobile SIM and it does not work.

What am I doing wrong?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] pderosa:
I was having the same issue. You need to copy the 2 cab files from C:/tempche to your device and manually run them. Then you can follow the directions in the unlocker program and everything should work. You may have to re-install the 2 cab files on the device before doing step 2. I did, but I'm not sure if it was necessary.

Also after the radio was updated I did need to re-enter the domain name and password for my ISP. So you should have that info handy.

I can report that after doing this the phone has Hard-SPL and is unlocked.

Does anyone know what radio version is included with the package? I know that I did read that it was a good one...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Olipro:
I've managed to patch JumpSPL to do a little bit more than just load the SPL so now I can produce a proper Soft-loader for PDA.

those having problems should please wait for the new release
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] NYITGUY:
by any chance, do you have a miniSD card installed while trying to flash?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Good call. If you have a card in the device and it has a file named cheeimg.nbh on it, any time the device is sent into bootloader (via software or hardware) it will launch right into the flashing screen asking to proceed.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
Thanks for all your hard work man.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] alambrito:
change in carrier name. Can I uninstall this?

I have run the process (receiving the 270 error) and after installing the cabs the process supposedly finished and my sim was unlocked (I did not unlock the CID). I now get "37002" in the carrier name and my sim was not unlocked.

My phone and data both work, however, my data speed has decreased dramatically. The phone says its connected with HSDPA, however I´m only getting around 125kbps d/l speeds.

What can I do? Can I uninstall this and flash the ROM back?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] startngate:
I did not have a card in the device. Will wait for the new release and see if that does it for me.

Thanks for eveyone's help!
