Upgrading using a SD card

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade my Qtek 9100 without using an USB cable but a SD card. The reason is that my mini USB connection on the Qtek is broken. So I can't connect the Qtek with my computer.
If it is possible to upgrade with a SD card can anybody tell me how.

I havn't heard of doing it this way in a while. My old T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition. "Space Needle" used to be flashed this way. You would load the Rom onto the SD card and use some type of key combination at boot to load the rom... I'm not sure that it exists with this rom and hardware...

can be done, I do it on my spare wizard that also as a broken usb socket, however you must first have a memorycard with a rom image first.

To restore from an SD image, your wizard has to be CID unlocked first or else it won't update.

I have CID unlocked my phone so that's no problem. But how do I upgrade with a SDcard and how to make an image on a SD card.
Who can help.

put your phone in bootloader mode (make sure you have minisd in the slot)...disable activesync on your computer by stopping wcecomm process...then plug in the phone (while it's in bootloader)..then run romupdate_115.exe (look for it in the xda ftp). Then choose the usb connection (I think it's wcusb or something)..press enter..cmd> should appear...then type r2sd all (this will backup everything in the phone to the minisdwhen it completes).
Then when you put it in the phone you want to upgrade..put that minisd in the phone you want to upgrade and put that phone in bootloader. It will ask you if you want to update and press the voice command button to upgrade. Goodluck!

Can I make an image of a romupdate availiable in the xda ftp on a SDcard and upgrade my phone without connecting it to the computer.

If needed, PM Me and you can send me a MiniSD card to load a rom onto for you. and I'll ship it back. Let me know which rom you want loaded, and I will do it for you.

Actually somebody with an CID unlocked wizard can create an SD image and then upload it to the website for you to upload and use but it will definitely wipe out the data on their SD.

I'm in the same boat. My miniUSB port fell in. I need to get the t-mobile ROM back onto the phone so I have a chance of repair. If anyone could upload a ROM onto the forum that will let me update using a miniSD card I’d be very grateful.
At least I’m not the only one who's USB port has broke!

I have teh stock tmo ROM on a 128 MB miniSD. Doubt that would help, but if someone needs it...just tell me how to get the image off and I'll post it.

Assuming /dev/sda is the device pointing to your SD card reader, and /tmp/sd.img is the sd card image file, in Linux you can extract it with this command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/sd.img
And you can write it back on another SD card with this command:
Code:
dd if=/tmp/sd.img of=/dev/sda
in Windows you can use psdread.exe and psdwrite.exe, see the wiki for instructions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils/psdread.exe
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils/psdwrite.exe

If anyone makes an Original SD ROM of tmobile...Please upload it at ftp. It would help lots of people here in the forum..

My file isn't from teh FTP, its from my phone. I made a b/u before I installed X's rom on day 3 of my MDA ownership. Like I said, I think there's a way to pull the image off the card, but I'm not going to spend my time looking. If some one wants to find me instructions as well as links to programs needed, I'd be glad to post the image.

Guide to update ROM

Good-morning to all xda members and many thanks to the people who dedicate a lot of their free time to update Himalaya to Mobile 6.
Im a newbie and i would like you to help me!
Can you reply to this thread by posting all the steps for updating my ppc (Qtek 2020 / wm5) (Steps and software that i need)
e.g 1. charge ppc
2. ActiveSync
3. soft .......
This will help a lot, im afraid that i may damage my ppc that i bought from another person with wm5.
Thanks In advance

also Id like to know if i need to back up old rom and how to do it (also the software)

it's in the zip file of most wm5 roms as a txt file
1. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
2. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
3. Run HimaUpgradeUt_noid.exe
4. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
5. Detach your device from the cradle.
6. Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

thank you
But is already installed with wm5, i follow the same steps for wm6?

the same...........

For the current WM6 ROMs you also need to do a couple of things after that (I believe because they are still really testing ROMs).
From the c_shekhar ROM readme:
Once the device comes to life after hard reset for the first time, goto Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC and check the advance network functionality.

Hi, at first i would like to thank all who dedicate their time and worked hard to update Himalaya to Mobile 6.

Thank you all for your aswers.

Nope - flashing a ROM erases everything from the previous ROM (except the radio stack and (I believe) the ramdisk) so it does not matter what you had before.

Although flashing itself doesn't erase your ramdisk, but hard reseting your Hima does it so...
There're 3 things you can flash... OS (that's what you're most interested in), radio stack (separately) and Button... The latter you shouldn't even touch, if you don't want to brick your Hima

IIIIIIII did it. Thx for everything. I had o problem with activesync but i fixed it. Its realy cool. im trying BT pan and BT sync. Guys you are the best

Im new on PPC,i would like to ask i have a:
XDA II

ROM Date:02/20/04
Radio Version:1.08.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
xtROM Version:1.66.165
Is it ok to do upgrade with atleast 36% on battery level? or i should make it to 100% battery level before i do update?

Why dont you charge it full and try it.
Better safe than sorry

sir im on a hurry i left my charger at home, so you mean it could cause an error? right now im updating im on 27% on progress. sir i would like to ask if this happen that it couldn't finish due to low power supply. what whould happen to my PPC? is it brick? how i can revive this if ever i brick?

Im a newbie. I have a pocket pc for 3 weeks now. All the installation took me about 30 minutes. i think you ll be fine. If this was easy for me that am a newbie imagine yourself

If you will run out of power, you will have to just start again, after charging it. The rule is - better have it at least 50%.

Well, extrom in wm5 is unused on Hima. If you don't plan returning to wm2k3, search the forum for reformatting your disk-on-chip (DOC) in order to join extrom with storage - thus getting storage as big, as 32MB

Not worth the effort as 1.54 radio is no better than the 1.38.
However if you wan to do it then find an old MTeor that is still at radio 1.06 level. Download the 1.54 radio only from the Hermes wiki and download the NBH build/rebuild utilities from the ROMcooking guys. Then simply extract the Radio.nb from the Radio only and repackage as a radio only NBH with a Breeze header. Flash it to your phone as described above.

if its no better i won't bother, just hoped it would solve the breezes inability to correctly interface with Orange 3g Sim cards.
thank you for the explanation though. i have tried it before awhile ago but it never worked. maybe a newer sspl has been made now

No - only one SSPL.
Unfortunately it doesn't force Radio upgrades so once you get a 108 radio loader you're stuck with whatever you've loaded.
I've had an Orange 3G SIM in a MTeoR without a problem.

i've had orange payg 3g sims and contract ones in my breeze, if not every call the thing will die and loose signal, and then find it again. it did it all the time whilst i was on it, very annoying when calling the gf. so you've had no problems what so ever ?
i point to another member called CMF who's replied to both my posts regarding this problem with 3g sims

Treo 750 dead after flashing wrong rom

I was mistakenly copy the wrong rom into the SD card and run the cheetah unlocker - it starts to flash the rom. After that the TREO750 is dead and soft & hard reset will not help.
I can only go into the bootloader with 3 color screen. Pressing PTT and reset button.
Anything i can do to make this TREO750 work again ?

If you can access the tri-color bootloader screen, then your Treo 750 is NOT dead.
The ROM is bad or wiped but the bootloader is good...that is sufficient for you to flash a good ROM & get it up & running.
What do you see on the bootloader screen?
Which ROM did you copy into the mini-SD card?
You could copy the .nbh file from the original WM6 ROM Upgrade package & change it to CHEEIMG.nbh into a freshly formatted (FAT32) mini-SD card & flash using the mini-SD card method.

thanks konker. I finally figure out the way to flash it with original ROM.

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 the post above that suggest to place the original 6.0 on a freshly formated 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

GSM - OK

After the crash I get this msg: "Update Terminate Update Failed"

You need to run Hard SPL first before flashing any ROM.
Your display would look like safisam's if you had run Hard SPL. (SPL-1.40.01iNex)

Have you tried re-downloading the ROM in case you have a bad file? Also, have you tried a different SD card, or re-formatting the SD card you are using? Sometimes that will help, and make sure the CHEIMG file is the only file on the SD card.

Hi all
I have the same problem, after some progress during the update it stops and now I can see just the Palm logo inicialyzing...
I stil can get the Bootloader Screen (3 collors), but when I try to pass other ROM It says "file image corrupted"...

It seems that the Treo doesn´t recognize the SD card!!!!
How could I Pass a ROM not using the SD card??

First of all, please indicate which ROM you loaded on your device.
Secondly, it would help the community to help you if you could state what software modifications you've performed on the phone. eg. HardSPL etc
Lastly, a list of installed software on your phone would be useful too.

From your description, it seems both of them are original stock ROM. Is your Treo a telco branded model or a unbranded unlocked model?
If the latter, you did not have to run the other utilities to unlock the phone...just flash the ROM.
I see that you ran the ExtROM unlocker...why did you have to do that?
The ExtROM is used to store device specific ROM customization that you should not have to bother too much if your ROM is a unbranded ROM (ie. not AT&T ROM etc).
If you left the ExtROM in it's unhidden state, that could be why the system is reporting the amount of free space to be so low. You should hide the ExtROM & then hard-reset the device again to see if that solves the problem.

Treo 750 Hard-SPL/Unlock/Unbrand Guide

Cannot get Hard-SPL on your Treo 750? Want to unlock/unbrand your Treo 750?
Check attached files to make your life easier.
Here is a guide to having a successful flash:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) THIS STEP IS ONLY FOR VISTA/WIN7 USERS! Follow the guide at this website first and complete all the instructions!
3) Download CheetahUnlocker to your computer, and extract the program - DO NOT RUN IT YET.
4) Download the attached Treo750UnlockFiles.zip and extract it to your computer. Take CHEEIMG.nbh and athena_unlocker.exe and copy them to your SD card.
5) Open/Run CheetahUnlocker.exe, and agree to the warning message. This will open a box with 3 options (2 are greyed out).
Option1:
Click "Flash SPL"
Click Next
Click the checkbox, then click Next
Click the checkbox (again), then click Next (again)
Click the "Update" button, then click Next
At this point CheetahUnlocker will send files to your phone to bypass the protection and flash your phone (called SSPL) and start your phone in bootloader mode. You may have to agree (on your phone) to these files being sent! Since we have placed the CHEEIMG.nbh file on your SD card CheetahUnlocker may respond with an error, ignore this error and click OK, it will go back to its original screen - DO NOT CLICK THE SECOND OPTION YET.
Your phone will find the CHEEIMG.nbh file on your SD card when entering bootloader mode and confirm that you would like to flash the file. Press the "Power/End Call" button to flash this file now, it should go rather quickly and say "Update Success" if all goes well.
After it is finished, pin reset your device using your stylus and the small button near the SD card slot. Your phone will boot up as normal, let it finish entering the OS and reconnect to ActiveSync.
Optional: Enter bootloader to confirm the flash by holding down the "Media" button (round button on left side) and using your stylus on the pin reset button (near the SD card slot) simultaneously. If all went well you should see SPL-1.4.0.OliNex.
Option 2:
Click "Unlock Radio"
Click the checkbox, then click Next
Click the "Update" button, then click Next
The program will flash an unlocked version of the radio to your phone. After it is finished it will boot normally, wait until it is done and has reconnected to ActiveSync. Around this time the program will prompt you with a box telling you it has to send files to your phone to unlock it, this will fail with an error. Click continue and the program will go back to its original screen. On your phone, locate the athena_unlocker.exe file on your SD card using File Explorer/Total Commander/Resco Explorer and RUN it. The program has 2 options, check both of these, then click "Unlock". This will unlock your phone, but we aren't done yet!
Option 3:
Press and hold "Shift" and "2" on your keyboard and click the title bar of CheetahUnlocker. This will unlock all 3 options. Click the 3rd option "Flash Normal Radio".
Click Next
Click the checkbox, then click Next
Click the checkbox (again), then click Next (again)
Click the "Update" button, then click Next
CheetahUnlocker will flash a normal working radio to your phone so that it operates normally. After it is finished, the phone will reboot and load as normal.
Congratulations, your Treo 750 (Cheetah) is now unlocked, unbranded, and ready to go!

Thank you
Thank you for your contribution! I applied this to my 750 that was sitting around doing nothing so that I can give it to my niece. I haven't been able to test if it works yet as I don't have a SIM for another network. Everything went as you described so I am crossing my fingers.

thanks man it worked like a charm.... i also cant wait for your WM 6.5 cooked rom.. it will be off the chain

Hi,
My brother just gave me his Treo 750 to replace my broken Hermes. I'm trying to Hardspl this device but without the need to hook it up to the computer. My brother lost the usb connection for the Treo. Is there a way I can flash the Hardspl with a MiniSD card? Please help cause this official WM6 on here is locked to UMTS only...cannot change to GSM. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

newbie
several days ago i upgrade mytreo from wm 5 to 6.5, but for several item didn't work such a camera, button, & can't switch to silent, & can't turn off (at the red button), & can't read mini SD 2 GB,need for the info to fix it, how should i do?

It isn't working D:
When I attempt this, it goes smoothly, but the SIM unlock isn't happening. When I insert the SIM after running step 3, I get this:
You have tried 76 times, please wait until timeout....
The app is sim lock, and I can't go to any other window.

I cannot create an activesync on the step 1...because my treo stucks in palm logo..please help me navenedrob .....

Is it necessary to do option 1,2 and 3?
My Treo is already simlock-free , so...
Thanks in advanced,
Rickson

Read through the threads on the version of the 6.5 ROM you used. Some of the issues you are reporting are known bugs in various versions of 6.5 that have been posted.
For example, navenedrob has indicated he will be publishing an update to his 6.5 ROM which has fixes to most of his ROM's reported bugs, one of the major of which is the 'red button' issue you are experiencing.
