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!

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

* 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.

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

To restore a dumped ROM:
To get the tools you'll need, install Kitchen for Jade (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441872).
Put your Part02.raw file in the Jade_Kitchen folder.
Open a command prompt and type cd c:\Jade_Kitchen.
Type the following two commands:
TOOLS\ImgfsToNb Part02.raw ROM\OS.nb.payload OS-new.nb.payload
TOOLS\NBMerge -kaiser OS-new.nb
Double-click htcrt.exe in the TOOLS folder:
Click the Build! button.
Select Jade * in Device list.
Put your version in the Version box.
Change Language if necessary.
Click ... after the OS box and select the OS-new.nb you just built (it's in the Jade_Kitchen folder).
Click Build! and enter RUU_signed.nbh in the File name box, click Save.
Wait a few minutes for htc rom tool to do it's stuff and you'll have RUU_signed.nbh in your Kade_Kitchen folder ready to be flashed.
Copy your new RUU_signed.nbh from the Jade_kitchen folder into the FLASH folder (you can delete or rename the RUU_signed.nbh that's already there).
Double-click CustomRUU.exe to flash the ROM.
Your phone should now be restored to it's original ROM.

You need to hard SPL to by pass the signing check on the ROM Images. Unless you dump the ROM and rebuild it and sign it again you'll need Hard SPL.
Dumped/Reconstructed ROM's are different from official releases.
Also without HardSPL, official releases won't flash if the Carrier ID (CID) is different (i.e. can't put an T-Mob Rom on a Vodafone device).

[TUT] Task 29 from HD2 now confirmed to work for Blackstone

What does Task 29 (hex edited) do = It formats the partition drive of your device where the ROM resides.
Why use this = it is observed and several ROM cooks even advice to do this prior to flashing in the HD2 thread that it gives
a thorough cleaning of the partition, removing any leftover junks thereby giving a fresh partition for the ROM to operate
to give you an idea of what Task 29 is look at this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtTDuc4V4cU
DONT USE AN SPL .nbh file
Task 29 from Leo thread:
Positively confirmed TO WORK for the Blackstone
using HSPL Olinex - now confirmed to work with USPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6024181&postcount=30
Using Windows Vista 32bit
Video Guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE2oFcNmn7I
step1 - make sure you have HSPL Olinex in your device
step2 - create folder and place here the Task 29 .exe file and the Radio .nbh file
(the nbh file could be anything related to the Blackstone ie., splash screen)
step3 - create another folder and place here your chosen custom ROM.
step4 - enter bootloader, connect via usb, then from the first folder double click task 29 .exe follow prompts.
step5 - phone will reboot but will get stuck in "smart mobility" screen, it CANT pass beyond this
as the phone has NO ROM on it, the drive partition where the ROM resides has been formatted
by Task 29.
Step6 - remove battery to reset, enter bootloader, then from the second folder, flash your custom ROM
Using Windows XP
1. make a folder and put together task 29 and the .nbh file of Dutty
3.9xt (could be any ROM nbh or any Radio nbh or a splash screen nbh)
2. connect phone (using XP) then run task 29 exe file
3. when it finished (a long time) it booted but without the red numbers and
words on the lower right hand side - this is a confirmation that the device
has been formatted
4. make another folder with two files (ex., DUtty 3.9XT .nbh file and the RUU)
5. enter bootloader, connect via usb then run RUU (HSPL Olinex already installed previously) your chosen custom ROM will now be flashed[/B][/SIZE]
for anyone experiencing "invalid device ID", use an official .nbh ROM file
(extract the .nbh file from an official stock ROM) and use this together
in the same folder with Task 29 .exe file (process will take longer. . .)
Using Windows 7 by tin 2404
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6052296&postcount=60
Using Windows 7 64bit by corwin_de_amber
1. Reboot PC and press F8 when reboot starts
2. Choose in boot menu ""Disable digital signature enforcement"
3. After reboot connect HD to PC via usb and wait for Sync Center to connect
4. Run task29.exe from here for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=task29
5. Perform all the steps of task29 (next>next>...)
6. When HD get stuck on HTC screen remove and insert the battery.
7. Flash your ROM as usual. If you want to flash from the card copy blacimg.nbh of ROM to the card before you start task29.

jigners, have you tried this using a splash screen.nbh file in place of the radio or rom file. That should speed up the process without having to install a rom only to remove it again with Task29 and then have to re-install the rom.

Great, let me know how it goes.
I'm sure this will be a hit here if it works as it certainly cuts down on the time taken to reflash to stock and then cooked. I run the Task29 now before every flash and on the HD2, the whole process Task29 and rom flash takes only 5 minutes.

Can't argue there, sorry bro

A question:
If I use the ShaDrac RePack version (as for I understand), when I launch the exe (without any .NBH in the same folder) it only perform a format of the memory and the PPC restart in white screen (no more ROM in...).
At this point, can I simply restart the HD in bootloader mode and flash my favorite ROM via microSD ?
I definetly prefer this way to flash ROMs
Thanks, Marco.

cant flash ROM to X1 - can someone help?

I am trying to different ROMS to my X1.
The first one i tried was S4_v1.6_WM6.5.5-full-23549_XPERIA_X1_13.04.2010
The first time i connected my X1 via USB to my PC.
- I started the included CustomRUU.exe file and went through all the dialogues.
- The X1 restarted by itself an showed
KOVS110
SPL-0.78.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
- Then a process bar appeard that freezed at 0%
- after some seconds the software on the PC told me abput a connection error 262 although it was able to read the software Version of the X1 before.
- The next step i tried was to copy the file onto the SD Card. I formated it in the SD card slot of my notebook with FAT32 (no fast formating).
- Then i copied the image file onto the card and renamed id to kovsimg.nbh
- I made a hard reset
- The X1 said "no image file" an showed again the colour screen.
- The next step i tried was to format the SD directly in the X1.
- So i configured the X1 for accessing the sd card as a harddisk. It appeard in the Windows explorer and i was able to format it.
- I copied again the kovsimg.nbh file
- after the hard reset the X1 shows "Loading..."
- i waited for half an hour but nothing changed.
What i am doing wrong?
What is the difference between CustomRUU.exe and X1_HardSPL.exe?
Do i need an other version of SPL (for example 0.72) and where can i get it?
I wanted to test WM 6.5 in order to get again a bluetooth connection to my Opel Vectra CD70. I other threads some people said that this would be the only way to get this pair running.
I would be very happy if someone could give me an useful tip without all the abbreviations that an newbie will never understand.
Thanks for your help

I think you didn't h-spl (from sticky olinex thread) your phone, which is absolutely mandatory
otherwise it would show
...
SPL-0.72.OliNex
...
in your bootloader
pls confirm

Hi DrakenKorin,many thanks for your fast reply.
I dowloaded X1_HardSPL_v1.zip from the thread Olinex Hard Spl.
I unzipped the file and got one file called X1_HardSPL.exe
By clicking this file the aplications comes up an some other files will be uncompressed in the same directory.
The appilcation is reading my current Image Version 1.05.207.13 and would like to update it to 1.00.X1
When i start the update the X1 will reboot an now shows 0.52.OliNex
Waht should i do next?
Thanks for your help

Hab's geschafft.
It is running with WM 6.5
I thing my fault was that i did not see the difference between the OliNex Hard-SPL and the the customRUU.exe
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Matthias
