I have downgrading my MDA from 2005 to 2003 but some strange things happend.
When I put the start and the reset button at the same time I get de screen with the word serial and NOT the bootscreen!!!!(no colored stripes)
But following the wikepage further the installation was perfect.
Also there is some software still on my MDA after the hardreset??????
How is it possible and how can I downgrade as it should??
Hey, Iam trying to downgrade too, I dont like WM5, its laggy and slow
But for somereason its asking for USB drivers, do I need drivers to use activesync? And where do I get them?
downgrading is now ok.
I didn't have any probs(the second time I tried)
Do you followed the wikepages?

I have tried to uppgrade this unit to WM6. The upgrade process was working until it stalled at 23% for 2 hours.
restarted the phone and the pc Phone is stuck bootloader mode showing IPL 3.08 and SPL 3.08 showing a USB connection at the bottom on a red greenblue and grey screen.
If i try to reconnect activesync to try flashing back to WM5 it doesn't detect the Device..
Can a Kindhearted Soul Please HHHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
Im new to winCE i am a systems engineer to am quite technical but for this can you give me Step by step info on how to recover and get WM6 on to this unit.
Thanks in advance
Activesync won't see your phone while you're in bootloader mode, which is what your phone is in when you see the screen that you say you're seeing. The way to tell if you'll be able to flash back to WM5 is to reboot it in to that screen first and then connect it to the sync cable. If it shows a little USB at the bottom, which it should since I doubt you screwed it up that bad yet, then you can go ahead and flash the WM5 ROM.
There are already step by step instructions on how to upgrade your phone to WM6 in the stickies at the top of the wizard mobile 6 section here in the wizard section. Since you didn't know that I'm guessing that you probably didn't unlock your phone first which is the reason your phone is the way it is right now so you might want to start with that sticky.
Reflash it first using a manufacturer rom like this one:

Then once you get it working again try your luck with the custom roms.
Hi All
Owning a Vario III and using Hardspl I upgraded to the latest incarnation of HTC's ROM (WM6.1). Having been caughtout with the freezing issue and after reading some posts about removing Hardspl I began to do so.
After reading the Idiots guide which stated :
'2. Flash the OEM ROM to your device (this will restore your OS but not the bootloader, we'll get to that below)'
I couldnt locate a proper T-mobile Wm6.0 ROM so thought as I'm just getting rid of the Hardspl I'd use the standard HTC ROM WM6.0 which went on fine.
This allowed to rid my phone of the HARDSPL.
I was then getting the Vender ID error when trying to load the new WM6.1 HTC ROM (which of course I would get as HARDSPL had been removed).
I then thought sod it and Ran SSPL-KAIS.exe and then began to run the latest HTC ROM. It started fine but bombed out at 15% and then I was left with a Tri-color screen and the message below :
In the Upper right hand corner it says RUUNBH
On the left side a little lower it says
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
At the bottom of the screen if I have USB plugged in it says USB, if nothing is plugged in it says Serial.
I cant seem to run MTTY 1.16 or 1.42 as I'm using Vista and the processes are slightly different (though I stopped what I thought were the relating ones to no affect)
Anyone on this awesome forum got any bright ideas as to how I can resurrect this one ?
btw : if I/we do manage to fix this one, do you think it will be possible to a) have a copy of the OEM T-mobile ROM ?? b) still upgrade to latest Wm6.1 ROM without the need for Hardspl ??
Cheers all
Steve
RUUNBH errors are from incomplete flag clearing after a flash. All that is needed is MTTY, 1.42 is best, & a few commands.
The first command is:
cmd>set 16 0
The second based on what SPL you now have (1.56) is:
cmd>boot
For use with Vista, you'll need to follow the dirsections used to flash via vista, & roll back the USB drivers. Do a search for Flashing with mtty and vista in google.
FANTASTIC !!!
Many many thanks for your prompt help !. Magic.
Im back up and running thanks to you brilliant help .
Do you think its worth trying again to Flash the phone using SSPL-KAIS and the latest HTC ROM ? or do u think I should quit whilst I'm back up and running ?
Alternatively, is there a way for me to sidestep the T-mobile lock without using HardSPL ?
Apologies for the questions, but after reading the many many posts on this, my brain is deffo boggled !!
Big thanks
Steve
I've spent whole day reading through the froum and the trinityguides.info site but can't find any proposed solution to work for my situation.
Device info:
ROM version: 3.00.707.17 (WM6)
ROM Date: 6/29/07
Radio version: 1.46.00.11
I've tried using all 3 versions of hard-spl but they all end up with the same result. With active sync linked and ready, ran the "romupdateutility.exe" at the end the PDA prompts if I want to run the "enterbootloader.exe", the moment I press yes the active sync connection would drop and eventually the program timed out with error "260" while PDA stuck in the tri color screen displaying the following:
TRIN100
SPL-1.07.ds
I've found some similar problems in the forum but those users are using vista however I am running XP sp3 in this case. I've tried all other solutions in the FAQ areas but none of them works.
My unit came with the WM6 already but I just want to upgrade the radio and get some cooked ROM to get faster performance. What am I missing here?
Any help is appreciated.
Once it drops to the tri-colour screen and is in bootloader, run the RUU again. Should be all that you need.
I've tried running it over and over but on the bottom it just kept on saying "serial" when it suppose to say USB.
Anyways, problem solved and it turned out to be the cable. For some reason the cable is good for anything, except keeping the phone connected/recognized while in bootloader mode.
I think this should be listed as one of the FAQ in the trinityguide. This might be a rare problem but it surely took me a lot time to figure out.
on Vista
Hi,
I have similar problem but I'm using Vista (Business). Is there any workaround ?

Hi
I have the same problem
spl 1.20 Olipro display serial instead of usb
I tryed several usb cables and still the same
when trying to update the rom it refuse to connect the ppc and end displayng the 260 error no connection
My system is vista and the first time I upgrade everything was fine, I followed all tutorials and no problem at all.
Do you think that could be this new 6.1 Mobile device center I recent install the cause?
best regards
Inabox
The problem isn't the WMC as such more the fact its Vista. Find an XP PC and do it from there.
Hi there, I had the same problem just now and cured it(in Vista). Just upgrade the htc driver in device manager again with "wceusbsh.inf" previous file, then should be ok. It seem to be Vista replaced the driver during it switched to Tri color menu.....
i have searched for a long time and cant find any answers i have a tmobile mda ive tried running the tmobile rom and it didnt work gave me an error any advice please help me i wan wm5 again
Download Official T_mobile wm5 Rom from this link,bet the phone in Bootloaders (RGB screen) and flash to recover back to its default status,then read carefully this guide fron the below mentioned link and do the unlocking and upgrading.
T_Mobile Rom:-

Unlocking Guide :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
thats the prob when i do iit it takes me to the rgb screen and the comp says error any info for that
Exactly what error it displays,it must with an error No. and some explanation about it,can you recall it correctly.Does it display Communication error ?
pmed error 260 communication
Ok,I hope you are doing all this on a WinXP machine,if its a vista,it won't work,WinXP is recommended.Now,before start to flash,close/disable any Anti virus and firewall running on the pc,and also try to close as many applications running on the desktop or background through Task manager,don't surf the net during flash or do any Office work.
Close/disable Activesync,coz its not needed while flashing,end the process 'WCESCOMM.EXE' in the Task Manager,delete any Partnership with Activesync.
To check the connectivity problem,get the phone into Bootloaders (RGB) and hook up the phone with pc via usb cable and watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloader screen,if its there,its establishing connectivity,than its good to go and run the flash,but if its not there,then its a connection problem.It may be the usb cable or mini usb port of the phone is faulty,check this out and do the needful.
Many communications errors are also due to dead or discharged battery,it doesn't have enough juice to complete the flash,hence,results in comm error,always start to flash with a fully charged battery.

Can this be done if I have Vista?
I know someone mentioned installing a rom won't work with Vista, but I was hoping maybe it was just a personal preference. I have two pcs that both run Vista and Linux. My problem is, the wm6 rom (faria crossbow) doesn't work by default and I have a cracked screen so when I try to set it up I can do every step except setting the proxy port #s because when I highlight one there's no way to tap on it, and pressing or holding the select button (the button in the middle of the 4 way joypad) doesn't allow you to edit the values or pop up a context menu. I was hoping to get my $5.99 internet or at least my email and mms working but I got layed off and the holidays are coming so I prob won't have the extra (I know its not much, but I have no job) $30 to buy a new screen until sometime in the new year.
Why not downgrade to the Button ROM, and then upgrade to WM5 afterward?

Hi,
I got given a couple of Treo 750 phones. Both on the Optus Australian Network so I scratched around for days and found the upgrade software. Shows update 2.27
1st one went perfect.
2nd one on same computer got through copying files and executing update and stalled at the start of completing update.
I got the Windows mobile screen show and it just was not loading for ages. Previous one loaded and then asked for input of Date, touch screen settings etc.
The installer can be re run but says no USB connection at the moment.
I have done a hard reset and get the palm display then locks on the Windows Mobile screen.
I saw procedures to use the Mini SD card but the cards I have won't work in any treo, they are not SDHC type but standard 2G ones.
I next found the recovery tool but holding the left lower button and then hitting reset did not work but does work on my good phone where it shows the coloured bars and SPL....
The left button is a bit dodgy so I suspect it may be faulty. Is there anything else I can try?
EDIT: Ok I pulled apart the phone, looks like it had a hard life as broken case around two screws and they would not unscrew easily. Found the tiny button had dry solder joints. Fixed that up and was able to recover using the reset proceedure.
Phone now working.
could you explain in more detail what you did. thanks man

What would you like to know?
Once I physicaly repaired the phone as indicated in the edit I was able to hold the left hand button (which was faulty) and the reset at the same time that allowed me to get into the SPL mode and recover the phone.
I understand it very little and most posts on these forums are over my head.
I would like windows 6.1 but there is so much information that seems to conflict that I don't know I am game since it is now working on an official 6.0 Optus version.
I am happy to help but if you can maybe tell me where you are at the moment and what you want to acheive and what you have tried I hope I can fill in the gaps for you.
because im new to this to and i got stuck in the windows screen also. so i would like to know what to download and where from and step by step if you could please.
thanks man

Ok to start with what country are you in and what telco were you with eg Vodafone etc as you will need that as a start.
USA and im with AT&A
Try the method describe in the thread below - Mine work
Hi, you might want to try this method
Follow it one by one and do not skip a step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460783
I just did mine last Saturday (it was a Vodafone phone)
AT&T should be easier since the Windows 6 ROM is easier to get
If you'd like to update to WM 6.1, you should upgrade first to WM 6
Something i read about the radio not working to full capacity if you upgrade straight to 6.1
As for the WM 6 ROM, i'm sure you can find it
Good luck
Hi All,
I have a Treo 750 and it WAS running WM 6.0 Professional (OFFICIAL) and I got it onto the phone and then tried to install WM 6.5 and then I downgraded to 5.0 and tried to update back to 6 and it bricked my treo, any of you wonderful xda ppl have any solution?
Also, I have tried installing the ROM again (via SD updater) and it looks like this:
SPLASH1 OK
BOOTLOAD OK
GSM OK
Micro P OK
EXTROM FAIL
OS
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
I cant install the windows installer one as WMDC 6.1 or ActiveSync 4.5 WILL NOT show the device up on the computer. I have Windows Vista Home Basic, and when I tried MTTY, the only ports I get are COM1, COM2, and COM3. I can't get the usb to show up. Even with MTTY 0.01 when I got the USB connection, it would not open. Is it Vista? Or am I not doing it right? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED TO GET MY POOR TREO BACK!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Is this universal (i.e. Hermes/BA/Trinity) or just for the Treo 750. I think what bricked it in the first place was installing a custom rom by veisen (WM 6.5)

Didnt Work
That one thing didn't work. It keeps coming up ERROR 226: FLASH WRITE ERROR Anything else???
