1. Make sure your Treo 750 is Hard-SPL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100). This would allow you to install any ROM, including cooked ROMs found in this forum.
2. Download the Generic Treo 750 WM6 ROM here: http://palmone.r3h.net/downloads.palm.com/Treo750_2_23_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater.zip
3. Extract the updater into a folder of your choice. There are two levels of unpacking.
4. Search for the CHEEIMG_FW.nbh file in the final extracted folder.
5. Put the abovementioned ROM image file into a clean FAT32 formatted mini-SD card. Rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh.
6. Insert the now populated mini-SD card into the mini-SD card slot of the Treo 750.
7. Press and hold the side media button & at the same time, use the stylus to press the reset switch. You will see the tri-color bootloader screen momentarily followed by Loading...
8. Next, you'll see a light blue screen with the heading CHEEIMG.nhb followed by a few other entries below it. The instructions at the bottom of the screen says to press the power button to continue. Go ahead & press the End Call/Power button to start the ROM flashing.
9. The ROM flashing takes about 15 mins. When it is completed, the bottom of the screen will say Update successful and the entries above with the OK appended at the end.
10. Reset the Treo 750 with the stylus & immediately perform a Hard Reset. This is accomplished by pressing and holding the End Call/Power button and simultaneously resetting the Treo 750. When prompted to Erase all data, release all the previously held keys and press the Up key of the D-Pad.
11. Once the formatting of the RAM has completed, the Treo 750 will continue to bootup & you will go through the standard startup wizard for setting up your Treo 750 for the first time.
Everything else should proceed as per normal.
I'm writing this from memory because I've just unbranded my AT&T Treo 750 & am now on WM6.1 Professional.
Please perform the abovementioned steps at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage that might result from the procedure.
All the best!
thks, i tried this and post later
thks again

I tried this method and I had the same problem as you.Try this method.
1. Download the official unbranded bits here:
http://palmone.r3h.net/downloads.pal...topUpdater.zip
2. Extract the EXE file that is in the zip file (give it a specific folder to extract to, the zip file uses a funky folder name).
3. Run the EXE file, but stop when the gui pops up.
4. At the first screen, navigate to c:\Documents and Settings\your username\Local Settings\temp, then inside the temp folder you will see a palm folder, and a folder with some random numbers and letters like PQa02356.
5. Enter the installer temp directory
8. right click payloads.xml file and select edit with notepad
9.Replace the RWE carrier text with ATT if your phone was from ATT, then
Replace the high 1.16 version with 2.27
11.After you have made the necessary changes click on file-save as, then save it back into the same file as it was originally in, and save as (all files)
if you save it as a text file it won't work.It must be saved as payloads.xml
with the xml attributes.
12. Go back to the installer screen and continue with installation
13. You must complete the installation successfully, if it fails, rerun the whole process. If it isn't successful, the flash ROM isn't "closed" and you won't see the new version numbers updated, and what not else as well.
Ta daaaaa and it runs HSDPA !!!
It worked great for me. My treo was fairly new with winmo6 version 2.25 with ATT branding, and nobody seemed to have the exact directions that worked for my phone. feel free to pm me if you need any help.
Now I have the unbranded 2.27 version.It works flawlessly

I am a newby and trying to install smartkeys on cingular 8125. Do I download to pc and activesync or download direct to device? Trying to download to device make .php file. Sorry for the dumb question...trying to learn
I just downloaded to PC then put unzipped files on my Mini SD then clicked on the file to set it up. Probably an easier way but this is most obvious to me.
First of all, read the pdf that's included in the download. Basically what I do is make a directory Smartskey somewhere on my PC. I extract the files to this folder. I locate Omapclock on this site if I care to overclock (which I do) and copy that file to my new Smartskey folder on my PC. I then edit the smartskey.ini to my liking, referring to the readme.pdf as necessary. I actually keep a copy of this on my SD card for when I do a hard reset on the road. I have a directory called "!APPS" on my storage card that has all my cabs. Now.... copy the modified Smartskey folder to your device. I put it off of Program Files. Do NOT, as xxpinballxx, run from your SD card! This is documented as a bad idea. If you don't believe me, read the readme.pdf included by the author in the download. Once it's on your device, click one time on the smartskey.exe file. That's it!
Enjoy.
(And please don't PM me regarding this has no one else can benefit)

Warning message on startup
Hi Guys
I have installed smartskey (placed it in a folder under windows in main memory) and told it to start automagically.
But now when I soft reset my device it warns me about smartskey and wants me to press yes. How can I get it to start transparently.
Thanks
I see that behaviour ocassionaly, not every soft reset. Odd.
I recently updated the software on my phone (8125) and now when I start it up, it tells me that SmartSKeys is not signed with a trusted certificate and it does not start. If I tap the exe manually it starts up NP. Any suggestions?
I had the same problem with it and I had to remove the startup file from the windows/startup folder as well as the program from the memory card and then I reinstalled it to a folder in the PDA. No more problem.
Restart problem fixed
Hi
A few weeks ago I stopped receiving the message. My device is still overclocked which is what I use skey for but it doesn't complain when I switch the device off then on again (by holding down the power button) or when I soft reset.
Strange but true
Thanks

Seeing as my hopes were dashed yet again today for the release of the AT&T WM6 ROM I've decided to bite the bullet and load the ROW ROM and be done with it. I just want to make sure that I can back up the carrierdb.pxp file so that I can restore the auto settings once I have WM6 up and running. I understand that this file is in the EXT ROM but the EXT ROM unlocker floating around seems to be for WM6 only.
If I am mistaken in my information please feel free to correct me on this. Just want to make sure I will have all features enabled when I am finished.
Thanks in advance,
David

Am I really barking up the wrong tree here?
Could some perhaps just send me/post the carrierdb.pxp from the leaked AT&T ROM?

Thanks for the link, but I already have the leaked ROM. If I could extract the files from the 04_ExtROM.nb file I'd be set. From all the my reading this does not appear to be possible without loading the ROM. Would prefer to just load the ROW ROM instead of going with the leaked AT&T ROM first. All I'd really like is a carrierdb.pxp file for AT&T. I see that someone did post the extracted ExtROM but it contains and extracted carrierdb.pxp, not the packed file. Any way to repack this or just a hint on what to do with the extracted files?
Edit: I see that the pxp files can be extracted as zips.....any chance they can be just rezipped and have the extension changed? Any particular settings that need to be used if it is possible?

Further to this, can we add another carrier in the pxp file? And can we modify the pze file?
The reason why I ask, is Fido merged with Rogers and my Treo 750 shows roaming as there is no GSM network for Fido in the pxp file. (i.e. 302-37)
Okay, I have been running the ATT WM6 leaked version for some time and recently unlocked my device and upgraded to the 2.23 ROW from Palm. Here is what I would recommend you do:
1. Upgrade your device to the ATTWM6 version first.
2. Follow instructions on this site (use the search in this forum) to "mount" the extended ROM. From there you can copy/backup the carrierdb file to your local PC.
3. Unlock your device.
4. Install 2.23 ROW.
5. Re-mount the extended rom and backup the new carrierdb file from the new rom
6. Copy back the carrierdb file from your hard drive obtained from the leaked ATT WM6 install.
Simple - if you know how to do all these things. You WILL have to spend time reading/researching on this forum to learn how to do each step, but this is the process from a macro level.

You betcha. They *are* zip compressed files with a different filename extension. Use the winrar defaults to create.

Hi there
re: HTC Himalaya. how do I change the first bootscreen? Pls can you give links to tools and provide instructions.
Cheers
I think what you are referring to is the welcome screen? Perhaps do a search for welcome.96 and see what comes up.
I had it in mind you just made an image the size of the welcome screen image and named it welcome.96.png and then just dragged it into the Windows folder (it will overwrite the original).
Having said that, Google it and find out how to do it exactly, don't take my word for it. But you should have enough information frfom what I have said to find out more.
I see its your First post..Welcome to xda-developers..sspecially for choosing Himalaya
To Change the Splash Screen..follow these steps :
Open any Image Editor
or Choose any Image that is 240*320 In Size
Its format Must be .PNG
and rename it to " welcomehead.96.png " (note : png is the extension )
connects your device via Active Sync or copy the splash screen to your Devices and replace place it in the \Windows Folder..it will ask to over right..Select Yes and You are done
Soft-Reset and Enjoy
PS. Search the Forum for ALOT of welcomeheads
the screen I want to change is the very first one that is shown when the machine is turned on, i.e. it appears as the device is booting up. Hope this makes sense.
Oh I suspect then you are not talking about Welcomehead/Splashscreen. Does the screen you are talking about feature the logo or name of a phone company/service provider? IE Telstra, Optus, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, etc
yes, that's the one. On booting up it is replaced by the welcome screen, and then the wallpaper. I'm using Ather's 'Dark Edition'
i would like to change this very first image too. I hope someone know how to do it.
Hrmm, not sure how possible it is. I have both the o2 logo on one phone and Telstra on the other which I wanted to remove. I dare say it is part of the radio rom, not the OS rom. Basically, you can flash the Radio to a different version, just as you can flash the Operating System, though some say it is a bit more difficult.
No matter what rom I flash, those logos are always there, so I suspect they are part of the radio rom. I will investigate.
EDIT: Okay this guy has created a program to do it for the Prophet only, but he may be the person to ask as I would suspect he had the general knowledge of how to do it by hand before he created the program.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333194
Thoses two can be changed by editing the ExtRom file (ms_.nbf) from a 2003 Rom..Search the forum for WM2003 Edit in the Himalaya Wiki...i have also uploaded a Clean extrom..just replace the images init and then place it in the folder where your HimaUpgradeUT_noid.exe is and flash as normal
here is the ExtROM file : http://rapidshare.com/files/82299532/ms_.nbf
I think this way was working in WM5
Install extromunlocker
Soft reset
Start
Program
ExtROMTools
Unhid
Unlock
Folder will appear in the root
Inside this folder is the image need to be change
But I traied this extromunlocker cab file in WM6.1, I could not find the Extrom.
Thanks for the method - however, I'm new to this and would appreciate a bit more hand-holding if you don't mind. Can you give a more detailed stepwise method?
TIA
It wont work if u ahve Partitioned your DOC..because that was the Storage where these files were kept
Well ok..just tell me what u cant understand
See here ..
Hi,
as Ather described, I did it successfully last year this way
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=220799&page=12)
as described, I restored my ExtRom with DOC_Restore, took the T-Mobile 1.72 Update (http://xdazone.india372.server4you.d...d.php?id=3373), extracted the ms_.nbf (ExtROM) , changed the splashes with "Windows Mobile 2003 ROM Editor" and updated the ExtROM. Works well.
I'm not sure if the t-mobile extrom could be used for other version of Himalaya than the MDA II.

After searching for hours on all the files, procedures, etc. on the subject, here's a quick guide for the n00b's out there that want to do this... Some information i will be repeating from other places on the internet.
----------------------------------
The following Files are needed (search the forums and google to locate)
1. CheetahUnlocker.rar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100)
2. Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar
3. Treo750Radio1.54.07.00.rar
4. RUUWrapper.zip
OK.. Now here we go
unrar the first file 'cheetahunlocker' and basically follow the instructions from the above #1 link. Two things to note: Ignore any images for Hermes and you must have .net 2.0 framework installed on the device.
when you run the unlocker, the first one worked fine for me, the second process didn't work, but that doesn't matter. also watch the screen for the unit to ask you about opening files. if you don't do it, it can time out and then you'll have to start over.
Now here is the fun part.
1. Unzip the RUUwrapper file to it's own folder.
2. unrar the CHEEIMG.nbh file from Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar into the same directory of the RUUwrapper files
3. rename the CHEEIMG.nbh file to CHEEIMG_FW.nbh
4. run the RUUWrapper.exe file and it will flash the rom of the unit to WM61. **remember to watch the screen for prompting of opening files at the beginning.
5. Done with WM61. Now for the radio update. It's basically the same process as above.
6. unrar the CHEEIMG.nbh file from Treo750Radio1.54.07.00.rar and put it into the RUUwrapper directory like before.
7. rename the CHEEIMG.nbh file to CHEEIMG_FW.nbh (delete the old one first)
8. Run the RUUwapper.exe file again to flash (this time) the radio to the unit. **remember to watch the screen for prompting of opening files at the beginning.
9. All Done.

It worked fine for me with the Treo 750 and the AT&T network..

Your method above just helped me escape a bootloader loop which was (apparently created) by trying to load a different custom rom after having installed hardSPL. The only precautionary measure I took was to place only one image (the same OS & Radio you used) into the RUUWrapper folder at a time and it loaded right up. Still checking and testing some things out because the bootup isn't exactly smooth as silk, and the old "TREO750-1.13-CNG" still shows up under About->Phone->Software Version, but all firmware references reflect the updates. MTTY was ineffective in my particular situation.
Now for testing the radio for reliability and battery drain,etc...
Thanks for the heads-up!
Witch one is the correct selection (see attachment)
Anybody? at least tell me where I can find information about RUUWrapper.
Well I clicked Force use safe SSPL and clicked through and I got a error message saying that it could not communicate with the 750 Error 246 check usb connection?
I read that Vista had some issues with usb connections and to download and use VistaRUU usb drivers, I installed it according to the description, still error 246 and sometimes error 202?
Any ideas?
honestly i don't remember seeing that screen you are getting. it looks like the software isn't detecting the rom you have on your phone, in which case i would use the autodetect.
Hello Eric,
If I use autodetect it says it can not detect what version I'm using "Recomend using Safe SSPL"
This was the ONLY process that worked for me. However, I did not use the Cheetah unlocker, it is unfriendly with my Vista USB connection. I used magic unlocker and then your instructions and now I running on WM 6.1..
Thanks.. great work!!
I wonder - do you have Voice Command anymore?
Just curious - I lost Voice Command when I did this upgrade. Sure, the OS runs nice, seems a little faster, but I sure do miss Voice command. I am running AT&T's Treo 750, which had Voice Command on it. Some people, on some websites, like TreoCentral said there was a 'lite' version, which did not have Voice Command, but I installed this version: Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar, and that seems like the right one.
So, I wonder - do you have Voice Command anymore?
As I know it is the normal version's bug (missing the voice command).
I completed set 1, no success!
When u say add to directory what do you mean?
missing the voice command？ Oh my...

This is great and it worked for me so I'm including the files here.
WM 6.1 does have some things that need to be debuged.
I havent tried WM 6.0 but from what I read on here it seems that 6.0 is more stable.
Does any one know if this route will work for WM 6.0?
If so does any one know which file do you download?
Will this set up work with WM 6.0?
http://omnifusionhosting.net/treo750/
http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?f=221&t=41062
Well, WM6.0 is more stable, for one thing I had a faster battery drain with WM6.1 than I did with 6.0.
As mentioned earlier, some missing stuff like voice command, but one thing I thought wouldn't be there was messaging. For some reason that Messaging is half annoying me.
While I'm at it, anyone know how to backup SMS messages? That Messaging app is just keeping them to itself.
everytime i try to install (volume down button + power button) it says "No image found". It really frustrates the living sh*t out of me! i completed everything untill the last step:
* Uncompress the .rar file to get the .image file.
* Rename the .image file to Kovsimg.nbh
* Copy the Kovsimg.nbh file to the top of the SD card.
* Remove the battery for 5 secs (guarantees the phone is turned off).
* Hold down the volume down button, then hold down the power button at the same time.
* After 2-3 secs you'll see the reg/green/blue stripes, then it will go to a light grey background saying "Loading".
after that it says No image found!

Did you do a hardSPL that worked then the tricolor should say xxxxx OLINEX
cant you see the name Olinex then hardSPL agian. if that is not the problem check your memory card so it is FAT32 and original sectors (windows format standard)?

The same thing happened to me when I tried to update the Spanish ROM. That is because you are missing ONE step
You need to use NBH Utils to do several things before you get the file you need to rename to "Kovsimg.nbh":
- Download the file you want to use and rename it from *****.image to ****.image.nbh
- Run NBHUtil
- Go to "Extract NBH" tab
- Choose *****.image.nbh
- Now you should see something like this:
Model ID: KOVS*****
Target CID: 11111111
Version: 1.02.932.3
Language: DEU Remember what it says here. Could be something else for you, depending on the language of the file you want to use!
Chunk Size: 64
- Click the "Extract" button next to OS:
- Save it as OS.nb
- Go to "Build NBH" tab
- Select the X1 as model
- Set language to the value you should remember ;-)
- Click on "..." next to OS:
- Select the previously extracted OS.nb file
- Click "Build NBH"
- Save it as "Kovsimg.nbh"

thanks for taking time and making it clear
it worked for
I had the same problem when i installed my latest rom.
All i had to do was to Hard-SPL and format the micro-sd card as fat32.
Then you copy the kovsimg.nbh file into your memory card.
Easy peasy
By the way...
With all the step above you are only upgrading the OS not the splash images, and the radio...
To update all no need to do thats steps...
All the step no needed just have to rename the file to KOVSIMG.nbh and copy to the root...Not problem to me at all...
But you must remember to have the MicroSD in FAT32 format and use the MicroSd that comes with your xperia...
In some cases the fault is the MicroSD brand...
I have read somewhere the Kingston MicroSd present problems to flash Xperia..But i havent test that either....Dont have a Kingston one...
Only Sandisk...
Please try to use SDHC micro-sd memory card.
FAT32
Yes, MicroSD card has to be in FAT32 format.
Hy
First of all we need to know exactly what org. Xperia (language, brand) you have and the name of Rom you like to flash to your Phone.
Cause you need to know that a phone without hard SPL will not accept other rom than org generic or org. Brand (t-mob, O2, Voda) in org. Language to flash.
If you like to flash WWE rom on a German T-mob Xperia you have to Hard SPL the Phone first! Hard SPL is easy make sure no sd card with a rom on it is in the phone!!!
make sure you flash newest org rom first before flashing a custom rom, to have last Radio on your Xperia.
I had the same problem when I use the 4GB "Hancock-card" (formatted to fat32 off course). So I use the old skool pc->active sync -> usb cable method. That works perfect
