But what I don't understand is if my phone is already unlocked and unbranded why I have to go through this step?

Just download ftp://xda:[email protected]/Cheetah/Unlocker/CheetahUnlocker.rar at first.
After you have ran step 1 and you spl is updated (you can check it by pressing the lowest left side button and reset button at the same time, lowest line should say something like 1.4 .olinex).
When you have succesfully done that boot your phone again and move the 6.5 rom image to your phones sd-card. I use this one with app pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541417 and you can read about my experiences with it from the last page of that thread.
After copying the file (should be named CHEEIMG.nbh) to your sd-card just run the step 1 in the cheetahunlocker.exe program and your phone should boot and start to install the rom you chose.
I also needed to update radio in order to get 3g/hsdpa work here in Finland...
Hope this helps and sorry about my bad English

Can not get to 3rd step ("Press and hold "Shift" and "2" on your keyboard and click the title bar of CheetahUnlocker. This will unlock all 3 options. Click the 3rd option "Flash Normal Radio".) This does not unlock all 3 buttons it repeats step 2, My phone asks to install software I accept, but it goes to boot loader mode which disconnects from my computer. What to do?

It's Shift + @ key if you're on a UK standard keyboard - bare in mind the US keyboard layout swaps " and @ around

Im on US standard. Detroit, MI

shift 2
click box at bottom and keep trying the shift 2. It eventually works. keep clicking all over the application screen. it seems the box at the bottom was my solution. I ended up with a radio that was slower on internet browsing. I had to flash another radio.

Why kaiser-simunlocker.exe cannot be run?

According to the unlocking manual quoted below, i have succussfully been to the last step by one, but there is a problem i cannot solve it on my own, please help.
My phone is AT&T TyTN II 8925, my present state is:
(1) i have loaded RUU_kaiser_QSKOM2.3_full;
(2) i come the tri-color screen showing;
KAIS1*0 MFG
SFL-1.0.OliPof
CPL-8
(3) i tried for many times "kaiser-simunlocker.exe". but it always fails me, i.e. it cannot be run at all, no matter how i clicked the icon of the above-mentioned .exe file.
thanks a lot!

1. Make sure you installed HardSPL as follows: power off and then press power on while keeping camera pressed, this will enter the so called bootloader mode and you see a tri-color screen (Red, Green, Blue). You should see "SPL-1.0 OliPof" on the second line in the top left corner. You can exit this mode by means of a "soft reset": press the reset button with the stylus.
2. Make a note of the radio version that is currently installed. You see the version strings in the splash screen which appears soon after power on (e.g. "R 1.27.14.09"). Since we will flash a special radio in step 5 you need to flash back your original radio in the last step. You can download radio roms from XDA devs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375
3. Connect PC and Kaiser with a USB cable and keep it connected until the last step.
4. Power on the Kaiser and let it boot into Windows Mobile. On the PC make sure the activesync icon is green
5. After you unpacked the download you see directories "step1" and "step2". Go into "step1" and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe. This will flash the special patched radio rom. Follow the instructions until it is finished.
6. Power off your Kaiser and insert a 'strange' SIM, i.e. a SIM from another provider than the one your phone is locked to.
7. Once Windows Mobile has booted up it will show a window called "Simlock" and a textbox where you can enter a 8-digit unlockcode. Now perform a soft reset by pressing the reset button *but* at the same time keep the camera button pressed. If you did it well you will be back in bootloader mode and you see the tri-color screen. The best technique is to press and hold the camera button first and then shortly press the reset button with the stylus.
8. On your PC go into the "step2" directory and run "kaiser-simunlocker.exe". If all went well you will see the unlockcode on your monitor and your Kaiser is being restarted automatically.

turn off allow usb connection on active sync then it should start and once finished click back allow connections

Then browse to the location of the file, and run it from the command line.
Hello,
I am having the same problem trying to run Simunlocker. I did everything it says in the instructions and now I'm at the Tri-Color screen where it says:

And in the white block on the bottom it says USB
The Active Sync is gray and when I ran Simunlock.exe in Command Prompt it says:

Everything else went smooth, but I noticed when I was loading the Kaiser Custom RUU.exe it was done very quick, in about a minute when it says it will take 10 minutes.
Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help please!!

Hey Tina,
I am facing the same problem as u had.
I finished step 2 and added the sim card to the phone.
The phone got locked so I removed the card and unchecked the USB synchronization and then place the card back in the phone.
I ran the Kaiser-simunlock in step 2 and I am having the same error:
\\.\WCEUSBSH001: No such file or directory
cannot connect to \\.\WCEUSBSH001
Can you help me? or can anyone help me to unlock this phone.
I am too close to breaking the phone into pieces.
Thanks
hey i know how to do that:
send me a email at [email protected] and I will show how to unlock it.

Upgrading and Unbranding Treo 750

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:

Download the following:
Magic Unlocker from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2468221&postcount=2
CheetahUnlocker from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1556568&postcount=1

Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar from http://omnifusionhosting.net/treo750/
(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

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

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.

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

Treo 750 Hard-SPL/Unlock/Unbrand Guide

Cannot get Hard-SPL on your Treo 750? Want to unlock/unbrand your Treo 750?
Check attached files to make your life easier.
Here is a guide to having a successful flash:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) THIS STEP IS ONLY FOR VISTA/WIN7 USERS! Follow the guide at this website first and complete all the instructions!
3) Download CheetahUnlocker to your computer, and extract the program - DO NOT RUN IT YET.
4) Download the attached Treo750UnlockFiles.zip and extract it to your computer. Take CHEEIMG.nbh and athena_unlocker.exe and copy them to your SD card.
5) Open/Run CheetahUnlocker.exe, and agree to the warning message. This will open a box with 3 options (2 are greyed out).
Option1:
Click "Flash SPL"
Click Next
Click the checkbox, then click Next
Click the checkbox (again), then click Next (again)
Click the "Update" button, then click Next
At this point CheetahUnlocker will send files to your phone to bypass the protection and flash your phone (called SSPL) and start your phone in bootloader mode. You may have to agree (on your phone) to these files being sent! Since we have placed the CHEEIMG.nbh file on your SD card CheetahUnlocker may respond with an error, ignore this error and click OK, it will go back to its original screen - DO NOT CLICK THE SECOND OPTION YET.
Your phone will find the CHEEIMG.nbh file on your SD card when entering bootloader mode and confirm that you would like to flash the file. Press the "Power/End Call" button to flash this file now, it should go rather quickly and say "Update Success" if all goes well.
After it is finished, pin reset your device using your stylus and the small button near the SD card slot. Your phone will boot up as normal, let it finish entering the OS and reconnect to ActiveSync.
Optional: Enter bootloader to confirm the flash by holding down the "Media" button (round button on left side) and using your stylus on the pin reset button (near the SD card slot) simultaneously. If all went well you should see SPL-1.4.0.OliNex.
Option 2:
Click "Unlock Radio"
Click the checkbox, then click Next
Click the "Update" button, then click Next
The program will flash an unlocked version of the radio to your phone. After it is finished it will boot normally, wait until it is done and has reconnected to ActiveSync. Around this time the program will prompt you with a box telling you it has to send files to your phone to unlock it, this will fail with an error. Click continue and the program will go back to its original screen. On your phone, locate the athena_unlocker.exe file on your SD card using File Explorer/Total Commander/Resco Explorer and RUN it. The program has 2 options, check both of these, then click "Unlock". This will unlock your phone, but we aren't done yet!
Option 3:
Press and hold "Shift" and "2" on your keyboard and click the title bar of CheetahUnlocker. This will unlock all 3 options. Click the 3rd option "Flash Normal Radio".
Click Next
Click the checkbox, then click Next
Click the checkbox (again), then click Next (again)
Click the "Update" button, then click Next
CheetahUnlocker will flash a normal working radio to your phone so that it operates normally. After it is finished, the phone will reboot and load as normal.
Congratulations, your Treo 750 (Cheetah) is now unlocked, unbranded, and ready to go!

Thank you
Thank you for your contribution! I applied this to my 750 that was sitting around doing nothing so that I can give it to my niece. I haven't been able to test if it works yet as I don't have a SIM for another network. Everything went as you described so I am crossing my fingers.
thanks man it worked like a charm.... i also cant wait for your WM 6.5 cooked rom.. it will be off the chain
Hi,
My brother just gave me his Treo 750 to replace my broken Hermes. I'm trying to Hardspl this device but without the need to hook it up to the computer. My brother lost the usb connection for the Treo. Is there a way I can flash the Hardspl with a MiniSD card? Please help cause this official WM6 on here is locked to UMTS only...cannot change to GSM. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
newbie
several days ago i upgrade mytreo from wm 5 to 6.5, but for several item didn't work such a camera, button, & can't switch to silent, & can't turn off (at the red button), & can't read mini SD 2 GB,need for the info to fix it, how should i do?
It isn't working D:
When I attempt this, it goes smoothly, but the SIM unlock isn't happening. When I insert the SIM after running step 3, I get this:
You have tried 76 times, please wait until timeout....
The app is sim lock, and I can't go to any other window.
I cannot create an activesync on the step 1...because my treo stucks in palm logo..please help me navenedrob .....
Is it necessary to do option 1,2 and 3?
My Treo is already simlock-free , so...
Thanks in advanced,
Rickson

Read through the threads on the version of the 6.5 ROM you used. Some of the issues you are reporting are known bugs in various versions of 6.5 that have been posted.
For example, navenedrob has indicated he will be publishing an update to his 6.5 ROM which has fixes to most of his ROM's reported bugs, one of the major of which is the 'red button' issue you are experiencing.

Tilt Bootloader

just need step-by-step for 6.5 email->[email protected]
6.5 is no different then 6.0 or 6.1, it's what you use that matters.
Which 6.5 ROM are you using, there are several out there already?
Is this not setp by step enough for you?

ok i did read that... and did it but im tryin to put this on my htc http://anryl.freeforums.org/21232-public-releases-links-requests-t29.html#p261
but what?
Follow the instructions and it will be done.
From Mskips post
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Kaiser Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to KAISIMG.nbh
4. Copy the KAISIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Hold in the Power and Camera buttons, then press the reset button with the stylus for about 3 seconds until the BootLoader screen appears
7. You will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
8. A message will then pop up asking you to press the Power button to start the update
9. Press power button to start flashing
10. Once phone finishes flashing and says Update Complete, reset with the stylus
11. When it gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET
(press left and right softkey buttons on the front and hold in reset with stylus until message appears)
12. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Clear Data
13. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Restart Phone
14. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom

You still have the stock AT$T spl on your phone. So obviously you did not follow the steps in the guide. If you followed all of mskips steps, you would have Hardspl on your phone.
Re-read and follow all the steps carefully in mskips guide. Do not mess around with things that you do not understand or you will have a very expensive door stop on your hands.
@Chumley, is that a custom rom I see on your phone ? I thought you were the last bastion of the stock rom. What happened ? And 6.5 no less.
Oh no, I flashed this baby the first week I had it. I ran duttys last rom for about a year though.
haha look everyone...after i opened my eyes n started to read then i got it....THANKS TO ALL SENIORS...4real what ya do is something sick...and ya good at it...ohhh last question though...is there any other 65 roms like recent?
thanxs again...

Go in to rom development and look around, even though I don't care for 6.5 , I have flashed 6.5 roms by Josh , anyrl, abusalza, and support. Chumley is currently using one by chinhe. They are all great, try each one and keep the one you like best.
im guessing....7 is out of the question...or im too early for class?

Upgrade to 6 stuck on windows loading

Hi,
I got given a couple of Treo 750 phones. Both on the Optus Australian Network so I scratched around for days and found the upgrade software. Shows update 2.27
1st one went perfect.
2nd one on same computer got through copying files and executing update and stalled at the start of completing update.
I got the Windows mobile screen show and it just was not loading for ages. Previous one loaded and then asked for input of Date, touch screen settings etc.
The installer can be re run but says no USB connection at the moment.
I have done a hard reset and get the palm display then locks on the Windows Mobile screen.
I saw procedures to use the Mini SD card but the cards I have won't work in any treo, they are not SDHC type but standard 2G ones.
I next found the recovery tool but holding the left lower button and then hitting reset did not work but does work on my good phone where it shows the coloured bars and SPL....
The left button is a bit dodgy so I suspect it may be faulty. Is there anything else I can try?
EDIT: Ok I pulled apart the phone, looks like it had a hard life as broken case around two screws and they would not unscrew easily. Found the tiny button had dry solder joints. Fixed that up and was able to recover using the reset proceedure.
Phone now working.
could you explain in more detail what you did. thanks man

What would you like to know?
Once I physicaly repaired the phone as indicated in the edit I was able to hold the left hand button (which was faulty) and the reset at the same time that allowed me to get into the SPL mode and recover the phone.
I understand it very little and most posts on these forums are over my head.
I would like windows 6.1 but there is so much information that seems to conflict that I don't know I am game since it is now working on an official 6.0 Optus version.
I am happy to help but if you can maybe tell me where you are at the moment and what you want to acheive and what you have tried I hope I can fill in the gaps for you.
because im new to this to and i got stuck in the windows screen also. so i would like to know what to download and where from and step by step if you could please.
thanks man

Ok to start with what country are you in and what telco were you with eg Vodafone etc as you will need that as a start.
USA and im with AT&A
Try the method describe in the thread below - Mine work
Hi, you might want to try this method
Follow it one by one and do not skip a step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460783
I just did mine last Saturday (it was a Vodafone phone)
AT&T should be easier since the Windows 6 ROM is easier to get
If you'd like to update to WM 6.1, you should upgrade first to WM 6
Something i read about the radio not working to full capacity if you upgrade straight to 6.1
As for the WM 6 ROM, i'm sure you can find it
Good luck
Hi All,
I have a Treo 750 and it WAS running WM 6.0 Professional (OFFICIAL) and I got it onto the phone and then tried to install WM 6.5 and then I downgraded to 5.0 and tried to update back to 6 and it bricked my treo, any of you wonderful xda ppl have any solution?
Also, I have tried installing the ROM again (via SD updater) and it looks like this:
SPLASH1 OK
BOOTLOAD OK
GSM OK
Micro P OK
EXTROM FAIL
OS
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
I cant install the windows installer one as WMDC 6.1 or ActiveSync 4.5 WILL NOT show the device up on the computer. I have Windows Vista Home Basic, and when I tried MTTY, the only ports I get are COM1, COM2, and COM3. I can't get the usb to show up. Even with MTTY 0.01 when I got the USB connection, it would not open. Is it Vista? Or am I not doing it right? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED TO GET MY POOR TREO BACK!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
~Mike

Is this universal (i.e. Hermes/BA/Trinity) or just for the Treo 750. I think what bricked it in the first place was installing a custom rom by veisen (WM 6.5)

Didnt Work
That one thing didn't work. It keeps coming up ERROR 226: FLASH WRITE ERROR Anything else???
