Radio Flashing Problem - Palm Treo 750 ROM Development

I'm trying to downgrade my radio firmware, but everytime I flash a lower version number radio it does not seem to take.
The flash completes fully, but when I look at the version number it is still at 1.54.30.10 which I am trying to replace with either 1.54.07.00 or 1.47.30.10.
Anyone know why this is happening and how I can reflash my radio?

Use MTTY and do a "Task 2a" then flash an official ROM.

That didn't work. The Radio version still is the same.
Any other ideas or maybe I just need more specific directions?
My phone is unlocked with the CheetahUnlocker (which I believe uses the HardSPL.)

Where does the 1.54.30.10 Radio ROM come from?
Palm or Hermes?

I believe it is a Hermes.

I'm sorry. I don't know the version of Hermes's ROM for recovering.
If you would be lucky, you might find it.
I have not done recover from Locked Hermes's Radio,
because I never flash Hermes's Radio to my Treo750.

How about radio 1.54.07 chaimd? I got it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1563015&postcount=1

I don't recommend 1.54.xx.xx.
Perhaps, Unlocked 1.48.xx.xx from Hermes might be able to downgrade.
My friends, who unlocked Treo750's SPL 6M before Hard-SPL, have several Treo750s.
One of his Treo750 has a fully locked Hermes's Radio. We can't reflash its Radio.

Is there any way through mtty to erase the radio rom so it will reload when a new rom is flashed?

Haven't really seen a definite answer here to the original post...
I actually am trying to do the exact opposite of the OP.
I currently have Radio: 1.54.07.00 and am wanting to upgrade to the 1.54.30.00 but can't do it anyway I try whether it's using RUU interface or placing on a formatted SD card and changing it to CHEEIMG.nbh.
It runs through the process, and acts as if it is updating/changing the Radio Rom, but nothing changes.
Can I change my Radio or not?
Treo 750 unlocked w/ CheetahUnlocker and Running WM6.1 Full version.
Thanks for the help!
btw, I read a lot of threads and posts... and read the Heremes Radio Wiki - just can't seem to find a definitive answer. Also when I flashed the Radio after using CheetahUnlocker it flashed the Radio w/o issue.

Run through the cheetahunlocker again (all stages, regardless if they error out).
Then use the kaiserRUU to load the new radio .nbh

Thanks tmknight... you're always helpful!
cheetahunlocker won't erase all my stuff on the treo if I recall correctly, right???
i'm pretty sure it won't, but it's been a while since I used it last...
thanks again

Please,after flash any version ROM and APPLY CheetahUnlocker (WM5 or WM6) my TREO view in Setting/System/About this:
WHAT IS WRONG???
EDIT:
With flash WM5,treo is VERY SLOW.....croling,open menu etc. se this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384531
With flash WM6 all O.K
Bootloader is CRASH?
After rest treo view error services.exe,slow thumbail on images not work AS synchronize NOT WORK and many
BUGs..HELP PLEASE

The problem
As alluded to by Chaimd, that particular radio is locked and will not allow for radio flashing unless an SPL is loaded which can perform an authentication function. I'm 99% sure no one has modified a cheetah SPL to do so. Someone like pof or olipro (oh boy are they gonna kill me for this) would be familiar with problem, but unlikely inclined to work on it since they don't have this device.
I haven't seen any workable method around it. The cheetah bootloader doesn't support task 2a.
sux...

Well, after many attempts - this does not work for me.
I can't even get to Step 3 of the CheetahUnlocker...it errors out after Step 2, and does not let me continue.
I read something about once you flash the 1.54.xx.xx Radio Rom you can't change it b/c the Cheetahunlocker has been able to authenticate the newer Radio roms or something like that... is that true??? It seems so, b/c I can't seem to get it to work.
any advice?
thanks again

I also have 1.54.01.00 but I don't know how i got this radio firmware, not a single internet connection on my treo is possible. No matter the version of Win Mob (6 6.1) I use, my Treo 750 just won't transfer data over either 3g or gprs. Calls / sms are possible though.
Wich rom causes to load 1.54.01.00 radio firmware on my treo 750 ? I really wanna know what i did wrong.

Well for everyone that is stuck with that nasty 1.54.01.00 i may have a solution.
I managed to downgrade my treo 750 radio firmware to 1.12.0c.00.
!!!AT OWN RISK!!!
-Run cheetahunlocker only step 1
-continue till the bootscreen (3 colors)
-Removed USB cable
-Don't click Start Update!
Ran official Desktop updater from palm (update version 2.27)
-Went to Temp files (Start --> execute --> type: %temp%
-Went to Palm dir --> 750RecoveryTool dir (is hidden) --> open T750URT (
treo 750 update recovery tool)
-Follow on screen instructions.. After this is got a rather old radio version
Will now try to run the Normal update again.

Sorry mate, seems it cannot be done with existing tools. I decided 1.54.30.10 is not very stabled and have tried several cobbled together methods to downgrade to 1.54.01.00, all with no success. Seems we must wait for someone with more skills and time to break this one open.

Htc Breeze Test Sspl

So, guys, here is the first test SSPL for breeze. I have no breeze, so please report if it works.
extract to your device root!!!
start spl.lnk AND immediately press POWER and CAMERA buttons. (or try hust CAMERA)
if the screen shows sth like spl 1.01 DFR, then everything is ok - it is my spl
this version was intended to allow you to flash any CID rom update and unsigned nbh files. the next release will be based on the latest spl and include compatibility with new RUU of 1.34 rom updates and the feature to fix bad blocks.
EDIT - may 10, 2007 - SSPL V1 works successfully
CID check - disabled
NBH check - disabled
attached spl in nbh format for flashing - breeimg.zip
Thanks to:
DES for his SSPL
Olipro for his hard spl which actually saved me from hours of IDA analysing - I simply compared his spl to original and patched the one from breeze
at first try...
i have exactly what i descriped here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1253965&postcount=782
after the reboot i can't get into the bootloader...
what did you changed in the spl ?! or in the sspl.exe ??
I try... It's WORK!!!!!
what did you do??
edit:
ok, strange things goes on here ... just tryied it another time yet...
ipl-sspl by Des
SPL-1.01
should work
if i have time today i will try to made an cooked rom ...
if this works i look for a way to extract the files out of the excalibur wm6 rom ...
edit2:
i now have the problem that i can't connect mtty to bootloader... mtty ends with error when producing the cmd command line... i just had this problem with hermes to... i have 2 mtty version on all the 2 the same error...
i will try it now on a other machine..
1) Rename the BREEZE_HTCEUR_1.34.251.1_SHIP.nbh file to BREEIMG.nbh
2) Copy to sd card
3) start spl.lnk and immediately press POWER and CAMERA buttons
4) Phohe start in bootloader and flash new rom. (but no new radio)
THX
Thx for the replies, i`ll try to make a newer sspl. also, let`s begin the work for wm6 for breeze based on hermes rom... but in another thread some time later
can anyone confirm that they have sucessfully flashed a cooked ROM onto a breeze? Please update the wiki.

this should work when you have a new spl installed - and you want to flash another cid rom!!
has nothing to do with unsigned code!!
!!! only for understanding!!
hey what should i say...
it just look like that it works...
i have cooked a rom now...
only small reg changes!!
i have flashed it with hermes RUUUpdaterV2
only a OS file!
Phone boots! now i have to check if the changes are taken over!!
But why not ;Þ
Please post to the wiki.
I am hoping that we can use tornado WM6 code to cook a WM6 image...
I just added some Infos to wiki!!
Updated:
Breeze/MTeoR Upgrading Guide (4Hard/S-SPL)
Custom RUU Updater
I can also confirm that this SSPL truly works, but I am still unable to flash 1.38 radio over 1.29 currently installed with this SSPL version.
Any hints when could we expect SSPL based on some newer SPL release (like 1.09 or 1.10)?
just extract the radio rom what you want from an shipped rom ...
take it and re nbh's it with the nbgehn utility ... than put it in the custom ruu folder start ruuwrapper and flash it...

Tried that 3 times already. Doesn't work! Although process finishes whithout any glitches, System Info still says Radio ROM 1.29.00, and my phone still acts like crap...
.... i tried it too ... no problem... you should have done a mistake...
download an usb sniffer and let it run when updating... maybe then we can see the error...
but i had done it too... with sspl had no problems!!
I confirm this is also work on my dopod 595.
Now I need to search how to change the splash screen
what would you want to change??

This is what I did/have...
- I have installed Radio ROM 1.29.00.10 (with older 1.32.251.1 RUU)
- My MTeoR is CIDed QTEK_A07 - all available RUUs fail with INVALID VENDOR ID error
- If I use SSPL (linked in this thread), my MTeoR actually does start SuperCIDed and I can run any RUU or custom ROM, and although all of them complete with success Radio ROM DOES NOT CHANGE at all.
My theory is (based on posts in Hermes upgrading forum) that Radio ROM 1.29 installed Radio BL 0108 which in turn does not allow flashing Radio ROM when started SPL is pre-1.09 codebase. I presume that it flashes with 1.09, 1.10 or newer only (makes sense because HTC released new 1.34 RUU which first installs SPL 1.09, then the rest of ROM).
Can anyone concur with my assessment or am I completely wrong?
Ohhh,thank.It works perfectly on my HTC MTEOR from O2 Czech Republic.

WOW
I have now read for weeks the Hermes/Trinity threads wondering if this would be possible for "simple" smartphones too - and you did it
So while it is possible for the MTeor, maybe your kind of patching the SPL would also work for the Excalibur/S620?
I would love to flash my O2 Cosmo, but want to have an original ROM Backup for warranty/fallback reasons.
I also found out that it is possible to extract and cook ROMs for it like the way for the Hermes - but I cannot flash because of this f****g need for signed .nbh.
May be you are able to do this MAGIC on a Excalibur SPL too?
I would try out on my phone if you want to take the challange - if it doesn't work I think I'll have to get a MTeor
Anyway - lots of thanks for your work - and giving me back my hope on smartphone ROMcooking

Incomplete DeviceData.Txt

So, what's it mean when you run GetDeviceData.Exe and all you get in your ../windows/devicedata.txt file is "PH20B" ?
Strange, huh? I've tried it a couple of times. Always the same... Nothing but "PH20B". I'm also having the "No GSM" in the boot screen problem, and can't upgrade (well, load AT ALL!) my radio stack. In my device info screen the OS and Extended info are right, but Protocal and Radio are both blank now. This has all happened after trying to do a ROM upgrade tonight.
1. What (exactly) device you own? What was DeviceData BEFORE first upgrade?
2. What ROM you had, and which one you tried to load?
3. How did you do that (what procedure)? Have you omitted any steps?
Lets say you really own PH20B (Blueangel) then if the radio is inactive the devicedata.txt will not output the info from it. Reflash radio only
Also this may happen if you have flashed PH20A (Harrier) and you flashed WM5, go back to WM2003 and all will work fine

Answers:
1: It is a HTC BlueAngel. It's one of those with just "PocketPC" on the front. No cell provider branding. I bought it off ebay last year. Don't know what the file showed before. Never had a problem, so I never looked.
2: Was running a I-Mate ROM since I bought it. But the radio was really old. The radio version was like .9xx . Don't remember exactly what. SHould have written it down. But it was less than 1.00, I know that for sure. I was upgrading to the Siemens 1.33 ROM with the 1.15 radio added on.
3: Used MaUpgradUt_NoID. Never been able to use BaUpgradeUt. It's always given a country ID error, but Ma..NoID has always worked before.

Yes. It is a blue angel for sure. See my reply above.
It's always been WM2003, and all I get when I try to flash ANY radio rom version to it now is a country ID error.
flash with noid app
maupgradeut_noid.exe
Yep. Already tried that. In fact, that's the ONLY way I've been able to do any upgrades at all since I bought the phone. Never have found a ROM that would work with BAupgradeUt.exe. Strange thing is, I can load the OS and EXT ROM's no problem using Ma..NoID.exe... Just not the Radio ROM. Even using NoID when I try to load a Radio ROM, it dies with a country code error. I believe the error is N-N-50-50-50 if that means anything to anyone. Any more ideas? I've tried all the obvious things I could think of. I wonder if maybe I could use a null data field in editfix.bat? That is, instead of using real data values from devicedata.txt like you normally would, replace the "???" in the .bat file with " ". Anyone know if that's even possible? Or should I just try taking it up to WM5, then back to 2003?
Thanks for all the thought and effort so far folks.

Ok I see that you have a G4. Lokiwiz is a waste of your time since you have a G4.
Here is what you need to do:
Because you have a G4, you can't just flash a rom because of the DOC chip.
There are 3 ways I know of to flash a G4.
1. Download shelltools - install enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab and reboot your device. connect with activesync and place the nk.nbf file of the rom of your choice in the shelltools directory and run shelltools and follow the directions in the readme. If you do it correctly, you will end up successfully flashing your device.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
2. Download SoftSPL and place the nk.nbf file of your choice in the RUU folder included and run SoftSPL and it is fully automated. It will call the RUU and your device will be flashed in about 7 minutes.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
3. Use the HardSPL(CID UNLOCK) and unlock your device prior to flashing. This will allow you to just flash roms at your leisure with no problems whatsoever from now on BUT it is still in developement so use at your own risk.

when it comes to add ons,I was reading on the Rom Kitchen thread and and I couldn't see much more that could be added to the rom that Faris V5's nbf file.it seems to be one of thee most comprehensive files that I have come across. the only issue is that it runs a bit slow but it cool.I might just need to do some memory management.
other than that I would recommend the file.
do you have any other recommendations?
have u seen the article that microsoft wants xda dev... to remove all of its roms from the website?

If you would like, I can speed up the performance of faria's rom also and then upload the new nk.nbf file for you to try. Just let me know.
speed
Yes, please.... speed it up for me. if there are any other applications (add ons) that you feel should be added to the nbf file then please add them.
i have already shared the nbf file with many guys at work. we would be grateful if you can assist.
one last thing, i noticed that there is a 3G icon under the comms manager. one of the guys said that we should not have any issues accessing 3G even if the phone didnt come with it. is it possible to use 3G on these phones?

Please HELP. SPL 1.09 and stuck

hi guys,
i was excited about the new Radio upgrade, so i tried to flash it. i got an error, because my SPL is 2.05. so i tried to unlock the phone using jerpelea's guide, flash to 1.09 -->success, then WWE (1.10) but an error occured saying invalid vendor ID during WWE flash. now i have SPL 1.09 on my phone and my phone is stuck on the 2nd boot screen of jerpelea's WM6.1 beta 4 ROM. my phone is fully unlocked using jerpelea's unlock guide, that's how i got to install SPL 1.09 successfully. how can i recover my phone? please help.
Update 1: i tried to flash back the original dopod 595 WM5 ROM. i mixed the RUU updater from the latest official ROM with the nbh from dopod WM5 ROM. the flashing works. when it's 100%, the phone reboots and, i got back to the same problem. stuck at 2nd/3rd boot screen. i now have IPL-0.90 and SPL 1.09 on my phone. Please help me to recover my phone. i've tried to hard SPL shown in the wiki guide, doesnt work. says invalid vendor ID crap. i really dont know what to do now.
Update 2: when the device boots, it stucks on the 2nd/3rd boot screen and if the USB cable is attached, for a brief moment, windows can detect the phone and i can even browse the content of the phone from my PC. but after that, the device disconnects itself and just remain stuck at the 2nd/3rd boot screen. the device appears to be totally freezed/hang. even the LED charging indicator will not turn off when i unplug the device from computer
i believe what i need to do now is to make a nbh image that is signed to i dont get any corrupted image message when trying to flash. i used HTC ROM editor to mix and match the SPL and IPL file so that i can downgrade the SPL to 2.05 and upgrade it again later. but i dont know how to sign nbh files.
If i were you I'd use this one =)

jerpelea, or futureshock, please help
not good news
I think I know what do you mean. My device was in very same state like yours few mnonths ago.
Try to run mtty and the command "info 2" without quotes.
Do not forget to disable USB on activesync settings before running mtty.
You will get an answer which includes the CID of your device.
If not (this was my case), you have to send it to the repair center probably.
My device CID was Qtek_A07 (RUS) and I have tried to instal the first official WWE 1.34 ROM update (combined from SPL.nbh and ROM.nbh) and it replaced only the SPL, and the ROM update crashed.
There was not way out so I sent it to the repair center.
The WWE images are expecting the device with CID Qtek_Z12.

If you bothered to read the Wiki, you would have seen this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5
If you can't bother to read the wiki, don't play with roms!
Actually, I did read that, and a couple of problems:
1) Boot Loader is 1.09
2) OS won't load, so can't use any of the ActiveSync-based methods for downgrading to an older version, such as 1.04.
3) CID appears to be corrupted, as per the earlier output pasted.

As a n00b I know how hard it is to understand what’s happening. I did read the wiki’s and still I didn’t get HOW TO upgrade a ROM until I found a great post in FutureShock’s thread
darkDirk said:
First of all:
It's fantastic what you are doing with wm6.1 and the Breeze, Futureshock !
I am new and trying to upgrade it myself, but at first I didn't have any luck.
Here is a simple newby step-by-step manual:
- Download and extract a MTeoR-FutureShock-WM61-xxxx.x.rar
- Check your Mteor battery in more then 50 % full
- connect the Mteor to the computer via usb and check if Activesync works
- go with DOS (cmd line) to the directory and start runme.bat
- On the Mteor press camera and powerbutton at the same time.
- then immediately press any key on the computer to continue the batch script.
- now you should see the 3-color bootscreen
- press any key to start the rom-update program and follow its directions.
When the update is finished (in less then 5 minutes), then wait untill the first boot is complete.
If you don't get the 3-color bootscreen or you the update on the Mteor stays on 0 % and the rom-updater displays an error, try testing this:
On the Mteor start the explorer and in the root directory (press UP once) find SSPL.EXE en start it.
If the Mteor won't start the program and there is an error like "insufficient trustlevel".
You need to remove the application lock on your Mteor.
Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe on your PC with Activesync working and then install SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab on the Mteor.
You will find those two in the .rar in ".\opt Software\Unlock Tools"
Then redo from the start.
Then, Have fun !! (Futureshock & DarkDirk)
P.S. works on a BREE100 with IPL-0.90 and SPL-2.05.

But I still do not know what SSPL, SPL, IPL or whatever there is does to me or/and the phone.
Anyway. Thanks for all the work.
if someone has a corrupt CID just send me an pm...

with all the respect what you do for this community, isn't taht you who advice us to update the SPL before trying your images?
in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384398 you should probably higlight that the update should be done only on WWE devices.

i did try to read as much as i could but apparently i didnt come across that. when i flashed to SPL 1.09, the device booted up just fine. it is when i try to update to WWE 1.10, the update process failed and bricked my phone. for your information, i was following the exact steps described by you in your unlocking/SSPL guide. you mentioned upgrade to SPL 1.09, then WWE 1.10. this is exactly what i did. i dont know what went wrong. im sure if im as knowlegable as you are, i wouldnt have screwed up my phone. my bad.
just to be fair, your method did work when i updated my dopod 595 (WWE device) to your WM6.1 beta 4 ROM. but i never upgraded my SPL to 1.10. i only thought of upgrading SPL when you posted the new radio release and that's where i screwed up.
anyway, what is important here is, is my phone unrecoverable? im reading the links you posted as i type, and i'll give the methods. maybe based on your experience, you could suggest some ways to do it. thanks.

for A07 you can use the russian rom to recover

i did flashed back to my original ROM after the first stuck in WM screen incident. and amazingly the flashing process works after several mix and match. after the original (WM5) ROM completed flashing, my IPL is downgraded back to 0.9 and SPL is still 1.09, and im still stuck at the WM logo screen (this time WM5 logo).
terraterm is a tool like mtty
what is your orignal rom??
just try to flash over sdcard... (look in wiki4more infos about that)

i tried SD card flashing too yesterday. it says not allowed. i have already flashed over the original dopod 595 ROM and my phone is now WM5. the flashing is 100% successful, but it is still stuck at the second boot WM screen.
i think im in a really screw up position now. i have SPL 1.09 and IPL 0.9. i dont know what is corrupted now. is it the CID? SPL?
cid you can check with mtty and info 2...
if that so... just do what i have wroted in pm...
you could also just try the old htc rom (w. SPL 2.05)

both mtty and terraterm give me the same msg when i type info 2. it says time out (refer above for exact error message).
the original dopod 595 rom has SPL2.05. and it was successfully flashed into the phone. when the phone reboots, it is still stuck at 2nd boot screen (WM logo). i checked, the SPL is still 1.09, but IPL has been downgraded to 0.9.

Hey Olipro
Nice to see this is up and running.
One Question....does it need to be in XP or can it be done in Vista as well?
try Vista and report back.
Vista worked for me
Vista worked for me
goes through alright (once drives are fixed up) however flashing any other rom still fails - even when manually going into the hard spl, and then running flash utility, it says the rom is corrupt.
Just the start?

I guess that this means we need to now roll our own, or wait for someone to release a p3600i rom which uses this spl?

I have tried the Trinity_WM6.1.Black_Edition.OS_Version_CE_5.2.19701_Build_19701.1.0.2_by_Akeo rom - this reports as corrupt.
Also, RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite - this one complains that the rom is for 128, not 256 MB.

experiments in flashing
I modified the first instance i could find of 0x0400 the RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite rom to 0x0401 and got a different error message saying:
Error [226] : FLASH WRITE
Flash write error happened. please check your PDA phone.
now the phone is now stuck in SPL
changed it back, and re-flashed, flash failed with "type error (128 vs 256)" however the phone now boots again.

That seems strange as the basic ROM for D810 (Standard Trinity) is the same for P3600i.....you would think both phones should accept cooked ROMs (now we have Hard SPL).
sigh. problem is that none of the roms I try will load...
By changing first 0x0400 in mary nbh to 0x0401, it flashes as far as 11% and fails with communication error, then when booting changes the inital start screen of the phone, (flashed to phone) but no further. saying the rom is corrupt.
SUCCESS
fully flashed the P3600i to WM6.1 - writing new thread to show how.
I had tried a few times one 2 mechine
one on winxp and one on win2k3
but both mechine show the same error when i do the step 1
the phone go to 3 color but in pc side it shows the ERROR [260] message
don't know how to do ><
after reset the phone
nothing happened
What happened to me exactly the same as you!
money donated!
Thanks both olipro & ajajaj!
ok so i tried to do hard-spl. but i got a 260 error.. reset my phone, windows came back up.
this was from a xp sp2 machine :/
the crap thing is now i cant run any cab files on the wm device.. i've definately done something to do.
