Hi,
Thanks to the very clever people over at www.imei-check.co.uk I now have an unlocked T-Mobile Vario.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
I now wish to know if I can flash my unlocked Wizard with an Imate K-Jam2 flash?
I know there is another post on flashing the the Qtek 9100 with the K-Jam but I dont know if the T-Mobile Vario will pose any different issues or problems.
What I want to know is :-
1) Can it be done, can I flash my T-Mobile Vario with a K-Jam2 ROM?
2) How do I make a backup of my T-Mobile ROM before taking the plunge?
I am a Sony Ericsson P900 convert so please be gentle with me on your responses. I'm no expert but have got this far (Unlocked) by reading these and other forums.
If any of you can help out I would be most gratefull.
Cheers
Lee
I have (had) a Vario from T-Mobile Netherlands. I unlocked like you and ran the ROM upgrade utility for Qtek 9100, available for download on :-
http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/
It works fine. My Dutch phone now talks to me in English.... phew!
@belgilux
What are the advanges of the qtek rom over the vario ??
Niets dat ik kan bespeuren. Enkel is ding dat zijn in WWE - wereld Wijde Engels - dit is good voor mij aangezien mijn Nederlands niet zo goed is. ..
ok thanks ,
mijn nederlands is goed , dus hou hem liever in nederlands

Hey, guys, I have the same problem - I want to change the OS from a german to en english one. My device is the XDA Mini S from O2 Germany. Do I *really* need to pay for unlocking first or I can just flash it?
P.S. How did you back up the ROM before the flashing?
hello ingenious ,
as far as i know , you have to unlock it first otherwise you can't acces the bootloader.
buckup of your old rom can be done (only after unlocking).
you need the program romupdate.exe
disable activesync on usb connection
turn off phone
connect usb cable while pressing camera button
start romupdate
chooice usb connection
enter 'r2sd all' this coppies your phone rom to your sd card (sd card will be erased !!!!!)
next step is to dump the sd card to file to store.
you need ntrw.exe and sd card reader
in a dos box in a dir with ntrw enter 'ntrw read dump.nb1 drive_letter_of_reader:'
that will dump you entire sd card to file.
to restore , but it back with ntrw write .......
reset phone while holding voice an camera button and chooise restore from sd card.
good luck , arnold
p.s. i'm wrinting this out of my memory so forgive me if i have something wrong.
Hey, thanks very much
Just a thing bothers me still... If I unlock the phone (i.e. replace the boot loader) won't I just lose my warranty from O2?
mhh that doesn't worry me to much,
officiali it will only void your warrnaty if they can proof that that is the problem.
if not they can not hold it against you (in holland that is) , but you may have to 'fight' for your warranty.

I have successfully replaced the ROM on my MDA Vario with a K-Jam ROM and now I want to go back to the original ROM. Following the instructions by arnoldl earlier in this thread I created a backup dump.nb1 file and used ntrw_189.exe in a CMD window to dump this to a file. This took bloomin' ages since I have a 1GB card - very tiresome!
Anyway, I have now reversed that process to copy the dump file back to the mini-SD card but when I hard reset my Vario I do not get a prompt to restore from the SD card. I only have options to restore to original settings or cancel.
I have allowed a hard reset to complete and the mini-SD card does not even register in the Vario. Removing and reinserting does nothing. I've tried a hard reset twice and still no joy.
Assuming I have successfully created a working ROM image on my mini-SD card are there any other tips or options for restoring it to the Vario ROM?
anyone knows the keys to press for restore an image from sd card ?
I have tried all combinatiosn of keys, but nothing are working
regards
sorry , it is hold camera and voice comm button while resetting.
previes state must be on!!
grtx arnold
Thanks for that. I just realised it says hold camera and voice comm rather than comms and voice comm, like you would normally do for a hard reset.
I've tried a boot with the correct buttons and could see nothing at all on the screen. I now realise there is something but without a backlight it is nigh on impossible to see. Anyway, I spotted that too late and started button mashing to try to get the thing to spring into life. It is now staring at me with a big clear white (lit) screen that dims briefly periodically. I now have no idea what is going on and whether this is the correct behaviour or not.
How long should the reflash take? Will having a 1GB card mean it takes 8 times as long as a 128MB card as it has to read the whole thing? How do I know if this is working OK?There are no progress bars or anything - just a plain white screen.
i did say comm and voice , but i just changed that
reflash was prety fast when i did it , within a minute i thought (256mb)
Oh dear :-( Mine's been blinking at me for 15 minutes now.
I just restarted the process and I managed to see a "Format BinFS Success" message and a progress bar at the bottom which I think said "Upload OS" or something like that - too difficult to read properly in today's miserable grey daylight. But I'm now staring at the plain white screen once more.
Maybe my ROM image is fried. Any ideas how to get hold of a clean T-Mobile UK MDA Vario ROM file?
EDIT : Further info......
Bored of the blank white screen I pressed the reset button on its own. The device reset and this time with the benefit of the backlight being on I could see the Format BinFS success message, a couple of checksum checks and something about downloading ROM and extended ROM. This all took only a minute or two, which seems positive. But then I saw a message about formatting FAT (or FAT32?) and while that was being displayed the screen faded/disolved to plain white and has resumed its periodic dimming.
Unfortunately I now have HTC Innovation and imate branding all over the thing so I can't just pop it back to T-Mobile to fix it. I wish they had a full ROM upgrade/replace image in a .exe, like qtek and imate.
hello,
what means "previes state must be on!! "
i have an 512 mb card and no chance to boot the sd. Has anyone
try the qtek german bin on the xda ftp server here ? i write this
image via ntrw on my 512 mb card, press the camera and voice button and also reset, but the sd card want recognize ...
help! I want this german qtek rom on my wizard.

i only got in this mode when resetting with the buttons pressed when phone was on.
when i first shut it down and then reset it didn't work.

Having left the white screen for a couple of hours there is no sign of anything useful happening. I reset the device and now I am dumped directly to the bootloader screen - there seems to be no software on the device now.
So it appears I can only get this thing up and running again with the k-jam ROM (or presumably Qtek) by running the .exe ROM upgrade file. But for me my option to go back to native Vario software seems to have vanished forever. Maybe I'm just really unlucky but this might serve as a warning/caution for others who want to flash their Vario.
Hello gays!
I hav a problem with my Mda.
In my mda was windows 05 and i want to upgrade to 06
And im download rom from thiece site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305125
And i Upgrade rom thiece method :
ANOTHER FLASH METHOD :
If you have the chinese WM6 rom, downgrade to some WM5 with official RUU, then:
download this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/29098553...fixed.zip.html
Once you unpack it, please put the nk.nbf (charmer wm6) into the Shelltool folder. Open shelltool.exe. Click Get Rom info, then click Extract OS. Wait until its finished and you'll receive a file called 8004000-OS.nb (save it for later).
Download the xbeta Chinese WM6 rom : http://rapidshare.com/files/27671349...eta.exe. html
Extract it and put that 8004000.OS you saved before in the XBETA directory. In the itsutils folder of xbeta rom you will find enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab. Copy them to your device, install them on Device Memory, then soft reset.
run xbeta.cmd and choose the 8004000OS.nb file to flash (you should be connected with AS and have your radio module turned off).
When the screen goes green and the flashing is finished make a HARD RESET!. Press Camera and Voice Dail buttons (hold them). Put and hold the stylus in reset button for 2 seconds. Release it. Wait until you see some white fonts on black screen. Then release those 2 buttons. Push the green dial button.
I choose thiece method becouse the first method in the rom subject doesnt work.
But after im instal new rom i have Era rom and when im complete upgrading to wm6 the phone is restart and im see era splash screen and its strange for me :/
So the problem is it is in startup screen showin Era splash screen and he STOP! i tried to hard reset but it gives fat partition error.
Please HElp me!
sounds like your device is CID locked at the time you flash it.. which gives you the same splash screen. However, the fat partition error (I presume it said format fail), is a big problem that AFAIK, it has no solution.
What you can do (at least) now is to put your phone in to bootloader mode and flash it (check the wiki, I think there is a section on this).
I turn on boot loader and i upgrade to another rom Era name and still thiece same Can you give me link with rom ?? to my phone ? Yes i dont unlock the cid
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
Now i download my Net is so slowly :d when im download and upgrade i write and good luck to me ;]
Rom t mobile Doesnt work. Other minds?? But the splash screen is T mobile ;]
ipl 2. 06
spl 2.06. 0000
gsm 02.19.21
os 2.6.2.27
meybe Rescue Rom like i wizard ?? do you now where i can find it??
the splash screen indicated that it has already flashed, but, as I've mentioned above, the partition failure are more complicated than that and may not be fixable yourself. I can't help anymore now, you can try to find some other solution. Good luck.
How to unlock cid ?? can you tell me what i hawe g 3 or g 4
at the top section of this screen, there is this "XDA-Wiki", go in to the 'Wizard' section. G3 G4 CID unlock info is there.

""Splash screen freezing -> SOLUTION !!! DIY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn... I walked around and around and solution was all near me and able to do it myself...
Ok here´s how I done it.
First, I must explain what was the problem.
After update the firmware (not actually upgrade, I had the phone full of trash, so I decided to reflash same firmware v2.18 PTG), the Qtek 9100 / HTC Wizard freezed at 2nd splash screen (the one that shows OS versions IPL version, ect). Tried many different versions, upgraded to 2.24, 2.25, downgraded even to 1.6.7.3, but always same problem, freezed on second splash screen. I read many topics on xda-dev, and seen some people with same problem. Apparently there was 2 solutions. 1- send phone back to warranty. 2- write backup ROM from SD in bootloader.
Passed more then 15 hours asking for this SD backup everywhere, and COULDN´T find any help. Apparently no one had this "SD dump ROM Backup".
So here´s how I solved my problem
1- I tought that a SD backup was needed, and yes it is. But u can use your own phone and your own SD to do it.
2- Get a clean SD card (in qtek 9100 / Htc Wizard case is MiniSD) with 128MB (some people say 64MB, but I personally used a 128MB, maybe a 64MB is enough)
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.
4- Get your phone in bootloader mode. Like this : Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter in bootloader mode (RGB screen).
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
6- Type "r2sd all" and hit enter... wait to the end (at end shows "cmd>"). On your phone screen u can follow backup progress... small bar will appear down the RGB screen.
7- Power off the phone (or remove battery), enter bootloader mode (camera button + power on) and this time RGB won´t appear right away. Will ask if u want to "download SD image", press voice dial button to agree, and writting will begin. Wait to the end. Power off and power on normally. Now your phone should be working ok. Not even needed to reflash the phone after this.
Thanks to all and hope this helps more people with this problem""

Format Is Failed (!?)
Hi. I know that the focus is now on the new ROM, but I am having a problem with my MDA Compact II after following the alternative flashing method. Original details:
IPL 1.12, SPL 1.12.0000, GSM 01.11.20, OS 1.12.2.23
All seemed to go ok, following step by step as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39129&d=1179243687 and I got to the end step with ‘Congratulations’. I had no error messages. However upon hard reset I got the message: FORMAT FAT PARTITION, FORMAT IS FAILED (oops!)
The screen then showed the same details as before, but with OS now 10.2.0.8.
I’ve done some searching on the Forums & tried restoring the phone via bootloader using both “MDAc2_ROM_Johnnnnnnnnnny_v1.0” (stalls at 99%) and “RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship” (this completes 100% & reverts the OS to 1.12.2.23, but I get the same FORMAT IS FAILED message).
Any further suggestions how I can revert to the original state, or update to WM6?
(My wife has an MDA II as well – I’ve checked my battery in her phone & it is fully charged).
PS Ignore the details at the bottom - I also have an MDA COMPACT (I)
Chameleon846: if you read carefully, you would know that you need at least bootloader in ver. 2.x to flash WM6. And seeing you have 1.x, no wonder it didnt flash poperly. GO find an official HTC Prophet rom and flash it with RUU. It will help.
no problem with this, this happen time after time on every ppc, it's random flashing error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307332
please, read forums before asking, this was mentioned many times...
vlodeck, thanks. A little knowledge... I stupidly missed the 2.x bit...
I've tried the RUU method with an official ROM. It completes all 100%, but will not go any further. I've seen bits about a restore from an SD card, but can't find the exact method (copying the nk.nbf file to SD & running bootloader doesn't do anything. If I manage to sort this am I able to upgrade the bootloader to 2.x?
Thanks.
Chameleon: not charmer official ROM. Prophet ROM!
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).
Y.
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.
DG
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.
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
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - Fail

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...

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.

Thant u for all!!!!!
With this method I have successfully unbranded, unlocked, and updated 2 Treo 750s that were originally AT&T/Cingular branded.
I spent hours running through multiple threads reading and searching to finally find a solution that worked flawlessly. These steps have been compiled from multiple threads:

(I couldn't find the original posts for Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar so I uploaded to my own site for now)
1. Download, extract, and run MAGIC_UNLOCKER on your phone.
2. Select both options in MAGIC_UNLOCKER and click unlock. This will unlock your phone.
3. Format your SD card to FAT32.
4. Extract Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar and copy/paste CHEEIMG.nbh to the formatted SD card.
5. Transfer 1_CHEE_MountExtROM.cab and 2_Chee_Extrom_rename.cab to your Treo 750.
5. Run/Install 1_CHEE_MountExtROM.cab and then soft reset the phone.
7. Run/Install 2_Chee_Extrom_rename.cab and then soft reset the phone.
8. Click and run Start>Programs>Chee_Extrom_Unlocker. Run it about 3 or 4 time and you should some type of error messages. Just OK or X them and soft reset the phone again.
9. Open File Explorer and click the drop down arrow, in which you will now see ExtendROM. Open it and delete the 2 files in the partition folder.
10. Download, extract, and run CheetahUnlocker on your computer. For this part make sure you have an ActiveSync (XP) or WMDC (Vista) connection to your phone. Click Flash SPL and go through the steps for CheetahUnlocker to Flash SPL. Don't worry about any of the other items in the menu.
11. After going through the steps in CheetahUnlocker and the phone, the phone will enter into tri-color bootloader screen momentarily followed by Loading screen...
12. Next, you'll see a light blue screen with the heading CHEEIMG.nhb followed by a few other entries below it. At this point, it will tell you press the power button. Go ahead and press the End Call/Power button. This will begin the ROM flashing. The ROM flashing takes about 5 to 15 minutes.
13. When the flashing is completed, the bottom of the screen will say Update successful and the entries above with the OK seen at the end. Now reset the Treo 750 with the stylus and immediately (during the Palm Logo) perform a Hard Reset. This is accomplished by pressing and holding the End Call/Power button and simultaneously resetting the Treo 750.
14. You will now be prompted to Erase All Data. Press the Up key of the D-Pad to continue and erase the data. This will format the phone.
11. Upon completion, the Treo 750 will continue to boot-up and go through the initial start-up steps and wizard. Once completed, your phone will now be unlocked, unbranded, and updated to Windows Mobile 6.1.
I made this thread to help people unbrand, unlock, and update their Treo 750s without having to waste hours looking for solutions and how-to something. Basically, made it easier for the noobies and everyone else to find everything in one thread.
Hey man Thanks a lot for the noob hand book
I'll try this but i dont know if it's works for me. if you can let me know thanks..
my treo 750
treo750-2.25-att
1.54.27.00
It should work on all Treo 750s!
Just make sure you are not running WM5 on it and its already upgraded to WM6.
It looks like yours already is WM6 from the 2.25.
SO you should be good!
Thanks for the info
I had a Dash, which I upgraded to 6.1 and it was great. Now I have a Treo and have unlocked it but am not sure how to format the SD stick. I must admit to being spoiled using 6.1 and being able to recognize the SD as a separate USB drive. Is there a way to do that with the AT&T version of 6.0? I am not seeing how to format the disk from the phone. Any ideas?
There are many programs you can find to format your SD card to FAT32. Just look around on XDA and you'll find some posts about it.
I just stuck into my computer and did a quick format to FAT32.
Finally a tutorial for this process that I could follow. The other night, I flashed my treo 750 to WM6.1. It didn't go smoothly for me however, and I had to do it a number of times before it "took". After each of the first 2 failures, I had to reflash back to WM6, and start over. I did nothing different, it just finally took. During one of my failures, it even booted WM6.1, but locked up and failed during the initial regional setting phase. It would help if the following section of the instructions were clearer:
12. Next, you'll see a light blue screen with the heading CHEEIMG.nhb followed by a few other entries below it. (WHAT ENTRIES?)
13. When the flashing is completed, the bottom of the screen will say Update successful and the entries above with the OK seen at the end. Now reset the Treo 750 with the stylus and immediately (during the Palm Logo) perform a Hard Reset. This is accomplished by pressing and holding the End Call/Power button and simultaneously resetting the Treo 750. (WHY NOT HARD RESET DIRECTLY AFTER "Update successful"?)

I can't recall exactly what those entries were but it didn't really matter what the entries.

I guess you could hard reset there but like i said in my post, i compiled the directions from various threads and that's what they said to do.
Were you able to unlock, unbrand, and upgrade the Treo eventually?
Thanks dubLeE so much for the detailed steps.. Here are my comments:
2. Select both options in MAGIC_UNLOCKER and click unlock. This will unlock your phone.
I didn’t do this step since I got my treo 750 originally unlocked.
3. Format your SD card to FAT32.
Succeeded.
4. Extract Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar and copy/paste CHEEIMG.nbh to the formatted SD card.
Succeeded.
5. Transfer 1_CHEE_MountExtROM.cab and 2_Chee_Extrom_rename.cab to your Treo 750.
Succeeded.
5. Run/Install 1_CHEE_MountExtROM.cab and then soft reset the phone.
Succeeded.
7. Run/Install 2_Chee_Extrom_rename.cab and then soft reset the phone.
Succeeded.
8. Click and run Start>Programs>Chee_Extrom_Unlocker. Run it about 3 or 4 time and you should some type of error messages. Just OK or X them and soft reset the phone again.
OK, what I did is the following. I clicked on the program 3 to 4 times.. Each time I get an error but I ignore, finally I did one soft reset.
9. Open File Explorer and click the drop down arrow, in which you will now see ExtendROM. Open it and delete the 2 files in the partition folder.
The two files are found and deleted successfully.
10. Download, extract, and run CheetahUnlocker on your computer. For this part make sure you have an ActiveSync (XP) or WMDC (Vista) connection to your phone. Click Flash SPL and go through the steps for CheetahUnlocker to Flash SPL. Don't worry about any of the other items in the menu.
Mmm this step faild so I couldn’t complete to the next step!!!!
My Treo restart to the colored screen and then I get a gray screen with a counter on the top left. The counter start until it reach %7 then suddenly the device restart and I get a black screen which I have to restore my previous WM6 original ROM… ok, I personally believe I have to upgrade my SPL… this is my current configuration
CE OS 5.2.1239 (Build 17746.0.2.4)
Software Version:
TREO750-1.16-RWE
Hardware Version:
A
Farmware Version:

On the colored screen I get the following:
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000
Waiting for your advice….
Hey hammod2k, try running magic_unlocker and see if it make any difference.
If not, then do a hard reset on the phone and go through ALL of the steps again. I read somewhere on the forum that some people were having problems and a hard reset first helped unlock and install WM 6.1.
Thanks for your fast reply. I will try it and i will let you know

I followed all the instructions and got to the same thing as you. Now I have a black screen and not sure what to do now as I am not able to soft/hard reset the treo anymore?
What do I do to get out of this black screen and upgrade and unlock my treo?

It wont even sync with Active Sync anymore for me to do anything....PLS HELP!!
How can I restore my Treo 750 back and unlock it?
Ok, After longs hours on the computer, I found a way to fix it and load back up the ROM.
I have also been able to do all your steps line by line with success. I have been able to upgrade to W6.1 but my treo 750 is NOT YET UNLOCKED!!!!
I have done it twice. line by line, number by number and step by step. All with ease but still not unlocked.
Can someone tell me how to unlock it now?
I have a Rogers Version

Glad you were able to fix it! Do you mind posting what you did hear in case others run into the same problem?
Why do you say it's unlocked? How did you come to that conclusion? If you were able to install WM 6.1 then technically that means your phone was unlocked (correct me if i'm wrong).

I had the black screen like the other member on this forum. I had to reinstall my previous ROM/OS (after 10 hours of searching on the net for it) successfuly and then followed the steps again you listed and was successful at upgrading with ease.
However my Treo is still not Unlocked. Not sure what I did wrong or what you recommend I do...
I tried the 2 steps of the Cheetah method and then the Magic Unlocker and still not working.
When I insert my SIM it says SIM LOCK
You have tried 30 times, please wait until timeout... What is that or what does that mean?
Im still on W6.1 and followed all your steps accordingly.
omg, pop my xda forum cherry baby, do you love me?
ok, so after years of lusting after a windows powered pda in one form or another, I finally copped a really really cheap Palm Treo 750 here in Australia. When I received this bad boy, it had WM5.something installed on it.
This step by step guide allowed me to fix any problems and successfully upload (on the first time!) wm6.1
do it guys, seriously. if you can install a new program on your machine,then you can hook this **** up.
fo' real.

Where and when does it say SIM Lock? I've never seen this this issue before nor read about it in the forums anywhere.

Really sorry for late reply… anyway, I have tried and yes it worked but I had to do it manually.. First I have uploaded the file using RUUWrapper.exe successfully flashed my ROM to WM6.1
I don’t know what I was thinking of after that to try another ROM made with an uploader called “Kaiser” and I damaged my Treo “BLACK SCREEN”… I got totally mad and I started to search all over the forums to find a solution since I tried to flash back to the original ROM, and tried like 2 or 3 ROMs but never succeeded to get my device boot up
I found a brilliant solution on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366771 which helped me to get my Treo up again
Finally it was by falt… but I still don’t understand the differences between :
1) Kaiser
2) Herman or I think they call it Hermes
3) Vouge
4) Raphael
6) Victor
Are there differences between all of them… are they depend on ROM type? What about Treo compatibility with the above types.. because my experience with Kaiser type cooked by someone I cannot recall his name was total failure..
finally i can say it was great experiance
Thanks
