BlueAngel Total Failure - Request for advice.

Hello,
I believe I have a real 'tough' scenario:
My BA (WM2003) was running normally till yesterday where it simply 'froze'. I tried restarting it, (soft and hard) and it kept stalling on the (IMate) splash screen and didn't proceed to WM. I left it to battery drain completely.
I came to work this morning, and literally tried everything:
Standard Upgrade using the Imate original exe (PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200). doesn't recognize the phone anymore.
Tried the MaUpgradeUT_noID with the nbf files (radio, ms and nk). In all cases the upgrade starts and gets interrupted in the middle with a 'weird' error and the BA display fades as the signal led goes RED (constant, no blink). I have to take the battery out, back in.
Tried the mtty set 14 0 / task 28 sequence with no result. (The info commands return a garbled sequence which makes me assume that my bootloader got corrupted).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Read in another post that you got no reply on this one.
Well it seems like nobody can come up with anything that would make more sense than what you have done.
My wording is when everyting else falis go back to the original rom and start from fresh.
If you can't flash an original rom in the ship.exe or the extract form you need to send it in.
Does your device react to hard reset ?? at least you should get a boot screen.

Have you tried Bootloader mode?
I know that this is a really stupid idea.. but have you tried putting it in bootloader mode, and then trying to upgrade? Or maybe throw a WM5 rom on there, and downgrade again! Worth a try until you send it in!

Thanks for the replies guys, I really appreciate the help.
I figured out that I had two distinctive problems:
1. The constant red led light, after a lot of research, it turned out that the battery was defective. Changing it solved the problem.
2. Now, I am able to flash the ROM (Tried it a couple times so far) with the orginal or another one. It flashes correctly, but only if I use the NoID flash program, else it will return a MODEL ID error. And when I reboot it, it stays stuch on the 'Imate' or the bootscreen and I don't get the WM to load (As if it freezes)...
3. I don't think I can upgrade to WM5 as I need to shrink the EXTROM size? Can this be done through some 'task' or other command in mtty for example?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Cheers,
Wadih.

WM6 Upgrade interrupted?

Hi all.
I have been trying to update the Treo 750 (generic unbranded) to Windows Mobile 6. During the installation process (about 2/3rds of the way through), the screen reverted to "Device Connection Failure". The device was not touched or interrupted in any way. The screen just flicked straight to Device Connection Failed in the wizard.
I clicked try again but to no avail. The PC no longer recognises the Treo (Unknown item in USB and says the device is not recogized or has malfunctioned).
I now have a device that does not work at all. It boots through the Palm screen to the Windows Mobile splash page (which looks like the new WM 6 colours) but then just sticks there. I have done soft and hard resets, left the battery out for 20 mins but nothing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
David

Not sue if this will help or not:
My situation was slightly different but with very similar results - 750 did not go past the WM6 splash screen, about 2/3rd through the upgrade. I ran the 750 Recovery Tool and the upgrade completed successfully.
The instructions can be found here: http://www.palm.com/au/support/treo750/downloads/wm6update_recoverytool.html
(this was with the 3 ROM).

or you can just try the sd card method
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_Upgrade

At the moment, the PC won't even recognize the Treo 750 anymore. Rebooted etc but just get "Device Malfunctioned" when I connect the USB. I can't do anything without the device connecting. Any ideas on this?

Went back and did the SD Card method as suggeted. Worked first time so this is obviously the path of least resistance! Thanks to those who responded.

my palm has no reaction
Hi,
I have the followed the SD method. After the hard reset,
my palm just hung on the startup screen.
Any idea? I'm stuck!!!

Make sure you have formatted to FAT32 on your sd card. I had the same problem and tried a different 1 gb sd and it worked. Make sure the CHEEIMG. that you copy to your card has the same kb's as the original.

Error 246, 260 and 202

hey guys,
I'm freakin' out... I followed the instructions on trinityguides.info to upload the Hard-SPL. However, even though the Active Sync is working and the RUU seems to connect to the mobile and everything if going fine so far I get this bloody 246 and that *****y thingy of a mobile is going into the three colour mode... Ok, not a big deal. As I've read in the FAQ just start the RUU again and it should be cool... well, its not... now I get a 260. Nevertheless, I've not given up yet. I tried the installation again. This time without accepting the message on the mobile, after a while I get another error 202....
so please guys... where is the trick??? I read something about go into bootloader manually - I reckon that's the camera,power and hard reset button combo. When should I do this???
I also downloaded all three of this roms, 1.20, 1.30 and the other Macrofl or so....
I'm running XP SP2, Active Sync 4.5,
Mobile: HTC P3600, IPL-0.50, SPL-1.07.0000, WM5 German

Update via SD
Hi,
I had the same kind of problem just a few days ago... and I solved it simply using my SD memory. Using it, you bypass the pc (and the connection between the PDA and PC) and all this type of problems "connection-depending".
You can flash your PDA putting the rom image on the SDcard (how you should do, you can read here here )...
Ciao
Tompo

hey tompo,
thx for your help, but I still have problems. I formated my Sandisk 2GB ultra II SD card and copied the RUU_signed.nbh to the root of the SD. Then I renamed the file to TRINIMG.nbh and went manually to the bootloader. However, there was only a short flickering of a grey screen that said "loading", after that I was back in that three colour thingy.... crap.... what the hell am I doing wrong???
seems as i have though luck with that mobile....
Any more hints???
cheers

Ok.....You wanna get to the 3 strip screen?
Make sure the battery has a 50% of its charge.
-Turn the device off.(DON´T HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER YET) so it should be off and unplugged.
-Press and HOLD camera button + power button,now you should see the 3 strips,if so you can hook it up to the usb port.
Got it?
I don´t remember now if you have to follow this step first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293957
Like I said I´m not sure,but take a look.....if you brick the phone there´s a way to fix it.
See ya.

THX
thank you guys for the support,
however, the source of the prob was the SD card. Even though I formatted the SD in my laptop with FAT32 and no label, it seemed to me that the mobile couldn't access it. I've done it several times - didn't work. Finally, I thought lets format the thingy with the mobile itself - voila - it worked.... I dono if something with my card reader is wrong... the SD was working fine with tomtom and was accessible in both (laptop and mobile) without flaws. Only the bloody flashing didn't work as it should be.... well, I don't mind any more, may be its a solution for another desperate trinity user....
Cheers guys - I'm runnin' on WM6.1 now....*sweet*

hello could you please say how did you format with the trini, cuz I'm really new and unable to find that function.
I have exactly the same problems, but no external card reader
Many thx

Treo 750 3 Hutch ROM

Hi,
I'm hoping someone could help me here please.
My Australian 3-branded (locked I think – never used another SIM in it) Treo 750 has stopped booting into Windows WM5. It stops at the Palm loading screen as the progress bar gets to the end.
I got it to boot again by doing a hard reset once. Then a couple of hours later when I took the battery out to put the SIM back into it (I had the sim out while I was hard resetting) the same thing happened again and it's been like this for a few days now. No matter how many times I hard reset it won't get past the Palm loading screen.
I've also tried to load an unofficial ROM to fix it using instructions found here but doesn't seem to want to load it (perhaps because the phone is not unlocked). I put the CHEEIMG.nbh file onto a formatted FAT32 miniSD and perform the hard reset pressing the PTT and reset button next to the memory card and it just says loading... and goes back to the tri-colour bootloader, with "Serial" down the bottom. I've formatted this card several times and tried also several times.
Would uploading an official ROM perhaps work? I don't have any official ROMs to try - does anyone have one they could upload from here please?
I'm limited in my options for unlocking and loading software as I can't get it to boot!
I'd be most grateful if anyone could help please, thanks.

Upgrade to 6 stuck on windows loading

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???
