WM5 ROM location??

I'm just about ready to upgrade my Cingular Treo750 to WM6, but before I do, I'd like to make sure I can bring it back down to WM5 in case I'm one of the few that don't like WM6 or I screw up the update and just want to revert back.
This is really my first time here since the site was referred to me by people from everythingtreo.com. I've been reading other posts here that they have reverted back to a WM5 ROM, but I can't find any links on where to get it.
I'm running Cingular's WM5 on my Treo750 right now.
Thanks in advance.

I don't remember where I got it, but the file that contains it is:
Treo750_Cingular_WM5_ROM.zip
A word to the wise, if you want to be able to go back to WM5 AND install things like the factory audio patch or anything else that checks the version number, USE THE SD CARD METHOD to install WM6 and NOT the desktop method.
The reason for this is a desktop installer doesn't exist for WM5, and you will have to revert using the SD card method, which does not update the software version. So if you go to WM6 your versions jumps to 2.25 or such, and if you revert, you have WM5 v1.13 (with its audio bug, etc), but the software still says version 2.25 to any sw/patch loading program that cares.
I have never heard of a way to revert the version number back to the original 1.13. Perhaps the device reset software from the PALM web site (http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/devicereset.html) will do it, but that is complete speculation.

Found the WM5 ROM
I found the link to the Cingular TREO 750 WM5 ROM - finally found the right combination of words to type into google to find it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-320748.html
I'm pasting the included instructions below. In the thread, people were having trouble with the install of WM5, but one guy towards the bottom referred to another post that I haven't found indicating that you don't need to follow STEP 1 of the instructions.
I'm just wondering if anyone's used this ROM and if you need to do STEP 1 or not and what version it ends up flashing to..??..
my Treo is version TREO750-1.13CNG, Hardware Version: A
INSTALLING THE CINGULAR_TREO_750_WM5_ROM
Insert the reader w/card into your USB, after the PC recognizes the card right click on the drive letter.
Select Format from the options and make sure FAT32 is selected as the file system then select start.
Also, you need to copy the files to the memory card one at a time; DIAG file first and then delete the DIAG prior to loading the IMG file second.
Step 1:
-Copy the ‘CheeDIAG.nbh’ file to the root directory of a miniSD card. Note: Windows Mobile recognizes updates only from FAT32 formatted cards.
-Insert the card into the device.
-Press and hold both the PTT/App Button (lowest button on left side of device) + Pin Reset (next to miniSD card slot).
You will be prompted to press the ‘End’ (red power) key to start the update. This step takes only a few seconds to complete.
Once the flash is done, you will see: ‘Model ID: Palm Treo 750’ displayed by the device.
Step 2:
-Copy the ‘CHEEIMG.nbh’ file to the root directory of a miniSD card. Note: Windows Mobile recognizes updates only from FAT32 formatted cards.
-Insert the card into the device.
-Press and hold both the PTTApp Button (lowest button on left side of device) + Pin Reset (next to miniSD card slot).
You will be prompted to press the ‘End’ (red power) key to start the update. This step takes about 5 minutes to complete.
-Hard reset the device once the device indicates the upgrade has been completed.
To hard-reset, hold the ‘End’ (red power) key while pressing the pin reset button. Answer “yes” to “Erase all data” prompt.
Step 3:
Verify the device software via the device <start><settings><system tab><about><phone tab> The device should display firmware version on the resulting screen.

TTT. I'd like to know if we can downgrade as well

How to: Remove Olipro Hard-SPL 1.40

Once finished you will have:
IPL-0.20
SPL-0.24.0000
* Requires MiniSD card
On your PC
---
1. Copy the files in "jumpspl-urt.zip" to the root of your device. The detailed steps for this are:
i. Connect to your PC via ActiveSync
ii. Click "Explore" in ActiveSync
iii. Open "My Windows Mobile-based Device". You should see a dozen or so files.
iv. Drag-and-drop the files inside "jumpspl-urt.zip" into the "My Windows Mobile-based device" window, which is the root of your device.
2. Prepare a FAT32-formatted SD card with CHEEIMG.nbh (tested using 81Mb image extracted from Treo750_2_30_VF_NZ_DesktopUpdater)
i. CHEEIMG.nbh has to include the bootloader to be flashed
ii. This particular bootloader ONLY accepts SD cards or Serial, no USB connection, until you've flashed, then it supports USB.
On your device
---
1. Open "File Explorer". Browse to the root of your device.
2. Insert your SD card with CHEEIMG.nbh
3. You will need to press the bootloader key (side convenience key) while clicking on "jump-urt". Press the bootloader key 1 second BEFORE you click on "jump-urt". Keep holding the side convenience for at least 5 seconds until the bootloader screen actually appears.
4. Upgrade starts (let go of convenience key now). My device rebooted after 10 seconds and continued upgrading again. I assume this was due to the bootloader needing to be restarted.
Q&A:
Q: Can I now get rid of hermes radio from hell (1.54.30.10)?
A: No, as the radio bootloader itself won't talk to this bootloader (or any other Cheetah bootloader known to man at the moment ). Damn thing. I only downgraded bootloader to try and get rid of it.
According to summiter, someone would have to convert a Hermes bootloader to Cheetah (similar code, but different memory locations) before we can get rid of the 1.54.30.10 radio rom. Using an older bootloader like this doesn't help.
Q: Does task 2a work?
A: When tested with radio rom 1.54.30.10: No, same as hard-spl. I would've thought it would work actually, but no.
Q: How do you know this has really worked?
A: You can't flash anything other than factory roms
Q: Why would you want to load this?
A: Selling the device, sending in for warranty etc.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried your procedure but it did not restore the original SPL.

re
When you ran the jump-urt program from File Explorer on the device, what happened?
- Were you prompted to "Run this program"? (You won't be if you've already removed the security requirements from the phone by unlocking it)
- Did it reboot to the tri-color bootloader screen?
- What did the IPL/SPL versions show? They should show already the 0.20/0.24 versions at this point.
Was the jump-urt program in the root of the device - not in "my documents"?

Hi,
My 750 is an unlocked 750 from the start. When I clicked the jump-urt program (all in root directory) from Explorer it started I was prompted to run jump-spl. I said yes then the I was booted to the tri-color screen. Bootloader update from the sdcard was immediatelt started after I press the red poweroff button. After the successful update still the bootloader showed olipro 1.4.

re
Try do the same process, but leave out the SD card. This way it will stay on the bootloader screen - can you let me know what ipl/spl versions are shown?

Still it did not work. Still showed Olipro 1.4. Anyway I gave the Treo to my sister as a gift. She does not care nor understand this bootloader problem.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hi, Can you please confirm something. I looked at the files in the desktopupdater.zip (voafone Australia 2.18)
CHEEIMG.nbh is ony 258KB not 81MB. However, the CHEEIMG_FW.nbh file is 81MB
Do I put both CHEEIMG.nbh and CHEEIMG_FW.nbh on the SD card? or do I rename CHEEIMG_FW.nbh to CHEEIMG.nbh and put that on the SD card?

rename cheeimg_fw to cheeimg.

Finally go around to trying this. does not work for me either.

ok... but if the phone dosen't boot/start... how can i remove it?

Here's the way to remove SPL-1.40.Olinex:
1- Download the attachment from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1562747&postcount=1 and put the file JumpSPL.exe in "\My Documents" (on the Palm).
2- Download the attachment from awojtas and put the file urtspl.nb also in "\My Documents".
3- Run (from the Palm) the file JumpSPL.exe and replace 0x0000000 for 0x30080000 when asked. Then it will ask for a .nb file, select "All folders" and click on urtspl.nb and quickly press the camera button. If the device reboots, try again and be faster this time.
After this you should now see:
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000
Do it all again with a SD card in and whatever .nbh you want inside it and wait for flash process to finish.
That's all.
Cheers!

mabe the wrong post...but how do you UN-remove Hard SPL (aka... put it on your phone)?!
LOL

is that possible for me to use this method for my panther(treo pro) since similar system configuration for both 750 & 850

OMG it finally does work
Thanks !!!
I used CHEEIMG_FW.nbh (renamed to CHEEIMG.nbh) from 2.27 ROW Updater
And this fixed the programs folder/menu lag in factory ROM

750 Dead after flashing with wrong OS

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem and I need urgent help please. I have ATT 750 unlocked and I'm outside the States now. My Treo was 6.0 then I upgrade it to 6.1 so far so good.
Then I saw a custom rom that I thought it was interesting. the custom rom was for HTC Dimond I think. without paying too much attention. I started the upgrade. It went 70% before the upgrade crashed.
Now my Treo is not responding to anything. I have the original ATT 6.0 SD upgrade and I have the 6.1 lite upgrade. I'm using CheetahUnlocker to flash the SPL (that is working) but when I try to install the 6.0 or 6.1 using Kaiser Custom RUU v1 it crash.
I saw an earlier post that suggest to place the original 6.0 on a freshly formatted SD and install from there. that is not working either. when I try to install the software it goes into these steps before it crashes: btw, I have the tri-color bar and it has the following info:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
SPL-1.40.01iNex
while update in progress i see the following:
CHEEIMG.nbh
SPLASH1 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - Fail
OS -
After the crash I get this msg: "Update Terminate Update Failed"
Any suggestion please? need more info? then let me know
Thanks in advance
Sam

Someone please help.... I'm sure someone has some suggestions.
By the way, I've tried RUUwrapper and that didn't help either.
Thanks in advance

I've got the same problem and finally I can solve my problem.
The procedure :
1. Open mtty and by connection via usb, just do :
Command mtty:
- task 2a
- flash:
[1- press enter
2 - type "set 14 0"
3 - type "task 28 55aa"]
you shoul see now the program runing a lot of things that I don`t remember what...
then when it ends try the SD instal...
If It still doesn`t work then:
[1- press enter
2- "erase"
3- "checksum"
4- "checkimage"
5- "task 0"]
then reflash your radio & OS by SDCARD...
- set 16 0 0
- info 7
- info 8
2. It means your PDA has no ROM OS and Radio.
3. Copy CHEEIMG.nbh (ROM OS) to formatted SD Card.
4. Insert the SD Card to PDA and just install by push the 3rd side button together with soft reset (by stylus).
5. Replace file CHEEIMG.nbh (ROM OS) with CHEEIMG.nbh of Radio.
6. Do same procedure as number 4.

First ever attempt at rooting...problem..!

So I followed a guide on youtube for rooting the g1 (should have followed ones on these forums ).
1. I am from the UK so downgraded to the DREAMIMG-RC7.zip first.
2. Then I installed the hardspl (update) and recovery.img.
3. Then did the telnet commands
4. Then downloaded command emulator and entered the commands
5. Finally I updated with the update.zip.
this is where it went wrong
6. I then tried to install open eclare but got this error :
E:Can't chown/mod /sytem/xbin/su
(no such file or directory) E:Failure at line 240: set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/su
Installation aborted
7. I rebooted it by back and home but it now gets stuck at the tombile g1 logo part.
I can press home and power to get to the screen, and camera and power does work.
Question...can I just start again by connecting the sd card to my computer card reader and then putting back the DREAMIMG-RC7 and starting again?

Which recovery image are you using?
You might want to try a different rom before openeclair, it needs the death spl, which you don't want to touch just yet. I recommend superD or htcclay fasttest.
Upgrade your radio as well if you haven't already. If you go near the deathspl with the original radio, you'll find out why it's called death.

You got the error because that rom requires the 1.33.2005 spl. Link for radio and SPL are in my sig.
