bootloader = camera + softreset
and flshing from sd - never worked for me

ok...well can i flash from my usb or whatever???if so do you know where i can get a compatible version for my p4300/wizard.

for those of us with mac's and non windows desktops<it would be nice to have a wayto flash from minisd! I can only remember how easy it was back when I used my zaurus 5500.

Please use the search function because I know 4 sure it is described in these forum, since I have done it myselves.
But once again:
1 BackUp your Herald (if possible)
2 Format your micro-sd card with FAT32
3 Unpack the .nbh file of the Rom you want to use if needed
4 Rename the .nbh file to Heraimg.nbh and place this file, and only this file onto your micro-sd card.
5 Place the micro-sd card in your Herald
6 Put the Herald in bootloader-modus by pressing simultanious camera- and comm. manager button and performing a softreset. Keep pressing both buttons until the bootlaoderscreen appears.
7 Your screen will display the instructions to press the key on the left side of your device (slide the volumebar down)
8 Follow the instructions as displayed.
9 After flashing perform a hard reset as prompted!
10 Tada
But; before flashing by micro-sd:
- Make sure your device is fully charged
- Flashing is always on your own risk and neither I or anyone else can be held responsibl if anything goes wrong
This methode cab also be used when unbricking your device if no pc-connection is possible/available

for me dowsn't wotk!

Errrr..... wrong thread... lol

With some fantasy I interpreted your post as "for me this method did not work"
If it didn't work, you screwed up somewhere...but no need to worry...what exactly didn't work?
In your future post please do not only mention something doesn't work but include which part didn't work and what went wrong.

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

RaphaelWrapper.exe Keeps Giving Error!!!!!!

Just use the sd card method.
Re-name the radio/rom file RAPHIMG.nbh
Copy to a clean, FAT32 formatted sd card (the main folder, i.e. root folder).
Remove sim card.
Add new sd card.
Enter bootloader (hold volume down, soft re-set).
Hit power button when prompted.
Wait ~3 min til it's done, and the screen tells you that ROM update was a success, then soft re-set.
Do a hard reset when you're at the screen alignment step (if this was a rom update; if it's a radio update, you're good to go after the soft reset); remember to remove card with the rom image (and get the image off of there).
Now you're done; it's a lot easier than flashing with a pc connection. This all assumes you have hard spl installed and a security unlock if you're flashing a non-raph radio.

Hi,
Do I need to connect device to power supply or upgrade just with current battery charge?
Thanks a lot for Your info.

I've flashed with my fuze plugged into the wall outlet, but you should always have at least 50% battery charge.

[Solution] How to make an uploadable image of an SD backup image

First your phone must be CID unlocked to make a backup image
Programs you will need
MTTY
USB Image Tool "Developer’s web site"
Instructions:
1. Open ActiveSync go to Connection Settings and uncheck “Allow USB connections”.
2. Put the phone in boot loader mode.
Turn the phone off press and hold the Camera key, now insert the USB cable, Keep holding the “Camera” key until you get the boot loader screen.
3. Insert formatted SD card, 128mb or larger.
4. Start MTTY select Port: = USB click the “OK” button, you don’t need to change anything else.
5. Type “set 32”
“CMD55 failed” = SD card not properly inserted.
“g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0” = CID unlocked, if not you didn’t read the first line of this post.
6. Type “r2sd all” this will create a full backup, don’t interrupt the process, wait for it to finish.
7. Type “ResetDevice”
8. Remove SD from phone, insert SD to computer.
9. Open USB Image Tool, select “Device Mode” from the drop down list, select the SD card and click “Backup”.
To write the SD image to an SD card select the SD card you want to write to and click “Restore”.
Now we move on to restoring the image to the phone.
With the phone on, insert the SD card in the phone, press and hold the “Camera” key and soft reset, keep holding the “Camera” key.
When asked, “Download SD Image?” release “Camera” key and press the “Voice Dial” key.
Hopefully that covers it.
This could be a viable way for people who have broken USB ports to restore/upgrade their phones.

Current images:
These are official stock ROMs
Cingular 8125 G3
T-Mobile MDA G3
T-Mobile MDA G4
I will list more as I make them

Reserved For Future Post

Tried image on my phone and it did not work. So I opened MTTY and ran ( set 32 ) and got
Code:
CMD55 failed
GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder
g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF
I believe FF means it is locked.
So I tried info 1 which gave 2.21.Olipro.
Sounds like I broke the HardSPL but did not change the SPL from 2.21.Olipro.
Sounds like truly a brick now.

You are correct.
g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF
Means CID locked.

I noticed a few downloads have been made but no comments.
What I want to know:
1. Did the ROM images work?
2. Do you have a broken USB port?
3. Did you have another reason for downloading the image?
What im trying to get from these questions:
1. Has anybody been able to use these images?
2. Should I continue to upload images?
3. Was this thread pointless?

Well, i'm about to try to use the T-Mobile G4 image on my WWE QTEK9100 G4. Its stuck in the screen right after bootloader (that shows the versions) and i can't get it to boot or flash anything. I just want to get a ROM in it that boots so i'll see if that works.

Thank you for responding.
I noticed from your other thread that your using the hard SPL and your having problems installing ROMs.
With the hard SPL installed im not sure this method could help you, please let me know if it does.
If your still having problems let me know I will try to help.

Help!! Need to go back to original spl

I need some major help guys.... i need to send my g1 to tmobile but my only problem is i cannot seem to unroot. each time i get to the Grey and Blue screen it does not load, it says (loading no image)... then it goes back to the RAINBOW screen. im i doing something wrong? I have followed these steps. i would greatly appreciate your help.
I. Downgrade the SPL (If you never loaded a new SPL or are coming from a completely stock Donut G1, SKIP THIS SECTION).
1. Download the Original SPL:
Original SPL
2. Rename the Original SPL to Update.zip and place it (now named update.zip) on the SD card (not in any folder).
3. Turn off the phone
4. Turn on the phone holding Home and End key till the recovery screen pops up.
5. Hit Alt W to wipe the phone, then hit Alt S to load the update.zip
6. After the update is complete, press Home and Back to reboot.
7. Once the phone reboots to the G1 Logo, turn it off by taking out the battery. Then put the battery back in. *READ THE REPORTED ISSUES FOR A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS STEP!
II. Load the DreaIMG.nbh File
1. Download the Original DreaIMG.nbh file:
Original DREAIMG.nbh
2. If the file downloaded above downloads as a .Zip file, please unzip it first then put the DreamIMG.nbh file that is inside on the SD card, NOT in any folder. (If you did Section I the phone is off still, take out the memory card, put it in the MicroSD adapter and plug it into your computer to transfer the file over, since your G1 won’t turn on right now if you did Section I above. Otherwise if you did not need to do Section I above, then you can just put it on the SD card normally using the usb cable and the phone).
3. Turn the phone off if it is on.
4. Turn on the phone by holding the Camera button and the End key until the bootloader screen turns on.
5. Hit the End key to start the update. DO NOT INTERUPT THIS PROCESS.
6. Once it is done, hit the trackball to restart the phone. You now are on the stock firmware RC29.

First step is posting in correction section(Q&A). Second step is using the search.

Read the damn rules for posting new threads or go away

i did!! n i still didnt get help from the thread that was posted by {tubaking]

Did you place the file DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your sdcard??

yes i did... i even tried with rc30 but it didnt work.
i keep getting stuck on the last step. i have cynogenmod.

You are pressing camera+power to get this done??

yes i am...
i followed all the steps correctly..for some reason it keeps messing up at the end when it gets to the grey and blueish screen.

And is your card formatted to Fat32. And did you check the MD5sum on the file to make sure it's the complete file.
Wow mikey on here helpin.

yes it is formatted
i don't know what that is..MD5sum

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum

how do i check if the MD5 is a complete file>?

To see if a given file is valid, pass the output of a previous md5sum run with the switch -c. Thus, the following two steps occur:
1. Compute the MD5 sum and store it in a file using md5sum file > file.md5
2. Check for validity with md5sum -c file.md5
If file is not present, omitting the file parameter or passing a - reads from standard input
i don't understand smh

Just redownload the RC29 file again and retry it then.

would you happen to have a RC29 file for download? i've tired about 4 different files
