unable to upgrade ROM EDIT: Problem Solved (close)

I have Qtek 9100 unlocked device w/ ROM 2.18.7.7 Ger (German ROM).
Been trying to upgrade to Molski's 2.26.10.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286988) and the Superrom v 1.1 by ppctuning.org (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288074). However nothing changed and it still says I got the 2.18.7.7 ROM (the extended ROM changed after installing Molski's ROM though).
Do I have to downgrade first? Any other suggestions?
thx a lot,
Alex
edit: When trying to upgrade, the upgrader does not recognize the actual ROM before starting the upgrade. It says:
Model ID: Wizard
Image Version: 1.2.0.0
Language: English
Edit2: Problem solved after I did following (guide by Molski):
Use this method when having problems with upgrading:
1. Downgrade to the 1.05 Rom ( ftp://xda:[email protected]_11210_WWE.exe )
2. Download Lokiwiz 0.2b and extract it to the root of one of your drives, I'm using E: today on my Thinkpad.
3. Copy enablerapi.dll to your device with ActiveSync (don't create a partnership yet, explore as Guest), I just copy to it's root.
4. Execute enablerapi.dll from your device.
5. Open a Command prompt (<Start> <Run> type "cmd" without the quotes and hit <Enter>
6. Go to the root of whatever drive you extracted Lokiwiz to, my case I type "E:" <Enter>
7. Type "U" <Enter> .. wait and you device WILL soft reset. If it doesn't then you're not following instructions!
8. Stay at the Command Prompt!
9. Run Lokiwiz a second time and type "C" <Enter. Your device will reset a second time... if it doesn't you didn't follow instructions.
10. Exit the Command prompt
11. Downgrade to the 1.05 a SECOND time. Upon reboot, if you followed procedure, you will have a IPL and SPL of 1.x

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 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

why can I install radio please, but Roms yes ?

hello and sorry for my bad English because I'm French.
Excuse me if my application you bored but I would simply like to improve radio reception with Radio 1.10.25.18 that seems better than what you offer and where I work, I barely get the signal.
I bought it released all operators.
I realized that my seller had purchased from the operator SFR and he has certainly made available for all operators to sell because his bill comes from SFR.
I can not install the Radio 1.10.25.18 with X1_RUU_Radio_UpdateUtility.
my X1 is released to all operators.
I use it with the operator Orange.
when I started the flash to install the new radio after synchronization total NETFramework 3.5 installed,
I have the following information in the PC:
IMAGE VERSION: 1.02.933.3
UPDATE TO: 1.00.000.0
I click to start operation
on GSM, the screen goes black, and 3 colors with which all this appears:
KOVS110
KPL-0.72 Olinex
MicroP1-707
MicroP2-707
then the screen goes gray with these instructions:
loading ...
NO IMAGE FILE!
then again with 3 colors:
KOVS110
KPL-0.72 Olinex
MicroP1-707
MicroP2-707
and then the gray panel with the update that begins and always fails to 5% growth and re gsm starts as if nothing had been attempted.
on my PC, I have the following information:
ERROR 244: INVALID MODEL ID
This utility can not be used for you PDA Phone.
Please check you Update utility
N-KPXV5667-S-RBRK./01 *
I have operate hard spl utility before, 100% ok
can you confirm that my problem is that it is not supercid and if so, could you help me?
thank you in advance

1- Be sure your phone ir > 50% battery charge (100% recommended)
2- Remove the SD card from the phone
3- Rename the radio file to KOVSimg.nbh and be sure to copy the radio file into THE SAME FOLDER where the RUU radio update utility exe is located
4- Be sure you put ONLY ONE *.nbh file into the RUU folder
PLAN B: Temporarily set your Windows PC to ENGLISH in
-> "control panel" -> "Region and Language configuration"
PLAN C: Use the micro SD card flashing method instead of the "RUU from PC" method

thank you gtrab, I try it !!

yes the "no image file" is because the x1 in bootloader (tricolour screen) is searching the SDcard for the KOVSimg.nbh file.

- Be sure your phone ir > 50% battery charge (100% recommended)
I have wait to get 80% into battery before trying
2- Remove the SD card from the phone
ok
3- Rename the radio file to KOVSimg.nbh and be sure to copy the radio file into THE SAME FOLDER where the RUU radio update utility exe is located
I have rename : this radio name "DIAMING.nbh" in "KOVSimg.nbh"
I have use : Radio v1.10.25.18 (Xperia)(52.56.25.29H) (SU) (Quad Band)
ligne n°3 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
4- Be sure you put ONLY ONE *.nbh file into the RUU folder
only KOVSimg.nbh inside
I obtain only this result :
when I started the flash to install the new radio after synchronization total NETFramework 3.5 installed,
I have the following information in the PC:

That's a DIAMOND RADIO !!
Not suitable for Xperia X1 !!
You need to hex-edit the radio to make it compatible with Xperia X1
You can download some radios already hex-edited for Xperia X1 FROM THIS THREAD or you can learn how to hex-edit any radio by yourself CHECKING THE RADIOS THREAD HERE
I wrote a mini-tutorial on how to hex-edit radios HERE, page 9, post 87 from the Radio's thread
ecrivez moi un message privé si vous avez besoin de plus aide

thanks, I send you a MP

I close this post and a big tanks to gtrab for the superb help !!!!

I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but why don't you follow this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445662

0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first - this is OK in your case
1. Make sure yr micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32 - if you have no data on your card better format it again.
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd, and put that it yr X1
3. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right, and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
4. Then follow the on-screen instruction
"
5. After successful flashing remove battery for while
6. Optionally - do hard reset combo: press & hold two silver buttons under screen and press for short while power button, then follow the on-screen instruction
If you have no special reason it is better to use this method for flashing every rom.

step by step:
1. you wan to have stock rom.
You go to http://blog.fastgsm.com/sonyericsson/r3a-software-for-sony-ericsson-xperia-x1/ and download file you want.
For example file for "XPERIA X1 Generic UK R3AA010 Software Update" is "APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010.exe"
2. Now double click on this file in windows and unpack it. You will get another file something.image or whatever.
3. rename this file to kovsimg.nbh
make sure you can see in windows files extensions like .exe or .nbh
4. copy kovsimg.nbh directly on your sd card
5. now you should be ready for update
If you do this and boot loader can't find file - format your sd card again (not quick format bur normal format).
I hope this will help.
