I just recently got the startrek or 3125 and i was looking at the wiki on how to cid unlock it but i follow all the instructions but still i eather get lost or dont know what to do anymore can anyone help
please
try flasing using micro sd card
make sure your micro sd card is formatted to fat32.
download surrealnetworksappunlock.cab and run on your phone.
download your rom of choice to your pc.
(open the rom with winrar and you should see 2 folders, 1 named ruu and 1 named sspl)
open the ruu folder and extract the file ruu_signed.nbh to your desktop.
open the sspl folder and extract the files jumpspl.exe, spl.nb and spl (shortcut) to your desktop.
copy the jumpspl.exe, spl.nb and spl shortcut to your root directory on your device (not the storage card)
on your desktop, rename the ruu_signed.nbk file to starimg.nbk
copy the starimg.nbk file to the root of your storage card.
run the spl shortcut (it is the 36 bit file) from your phones root directory, your will get a prompt that the phone is searching the sd card, then select that you want to replace the os. should only take 20-30 sec, restart the phone when it prompts you.
fyi, you can have multiple nbk images on your card, just create a folder for your images, make sure to name the images accordingly, ie.. starimgwm6 or starimgwm6.1 etc...
then when you are bored or feel the need to change your os, just rename the image to starimg, place it on the root of the sd card and swap os's to your hearts content.
you can use the same process to change radios as well.
Hi, I also just got a used 3125, but no data cable. I used the SD Flash method to update to the last official Cingular ROM with no problems.
I've wanted to flash to the wm6 or wm6.1 roms here, but without the data cable I thought I was out of luck. Does the method you describe above work on all of these "unofficial" ROMs?
Just wanted a better explaination of what you meant by:
download your rom of choice to your pc.

The SD Flash thread specifically said only official ROM could be flashed from SD Card.
rom choice
has worked for me.
Great. I will try tonight.
I see that the two WM6.1 roms come only as "clean" versions... has anyone made a "Cingular OEM" version of wm6.1? If I use the "clean" ROM, what would I need to do to fully use the phone on Cingular network (USA)?
Lewnetoons - hows the PPC version on the 3125? Do you find youself using fakecursor alot, or only on PPC specific applications?
ppc version
It a little tricky to navigate sometimes, but not bad, after the first couple of days u get used to it, I really don't use it that much (the cursor that is)
I would suggest speeding up the cursor movement with the settings, it moves a little slow with the basic settings.
The nice thing is it runs most ppc and smartphone apps, a few don't work but most do with no problem.

thanks but this dint work i did everything correct and all it got to is were it looks in the sd card but the goes to the bootloader screen and it just stay there until i restart it
is there anyother way to upgrade it
storage card
not that I am aware of, if the renamed nbk file is on the root of the storage card it should work.
Just flashed to wm6.1 using the instructions in post #2. Worked exactly as stated. I thought I had to wait for a datacable to Flash, but this microSD card flashing is perfect.
Thanks!!

hi, you must place the rom on the sd card and then softrest while holding down the camera button. this will make the phone enter the bootloader and look for a rom on the sd card. i think that roms have to be specially cooked to be flashef in this way

yes it is too easy with a search in this forum so no one bother to reply...i think....
Format SD-Card as FAT32.
rename RUU_Siged.nbh to GENEIMG.nbh, Put GENEIMG.nbh on SD-CARD (root).
Charge your device at 100%!
Insert SD-Card in Gene, press AND HOLD "Camera" button, and do soft-reset.
If you see white screen with "Reading SD content":
Release "Camera" button, wait, and when countdown (start from 10s) in left-bottom corner of screen is appear, press "Power" button. Flashing is begin, and approx. 8 minutes long. After you will see "Success. Press any key". Do soft-reset. Congratulation.
PS: not all the rom can be flash via SD card, if you failed, do it the normal way with USB RUU

One thing more
In normal way by flashing using PC i make this before
1.Olipro's SPL for Old Gene
2. i have now white screen so i can flash the rom otherwise the device will breakdown if i did not jump the spl
SO by sd card there is no need to jump spl or what , explain please
greate very usefull info thanks
@Zinzar: I have never used JumpSPL trick, right from the time i flashed my first ROM, i flashed the HardSPL and as mine is a New Gene the Olipro method bricked it and then i unbricked it using Orefkov's method. HardSPL is permanently applied and is never needed to apply again. After that you can flash your phone in both way, RUU and SD Card. NO special thing is needed to do. just format the sd card with Fat32, 4096 kb cluster size (the default one), put the RUU_Signed.nbh on sd card and rename it to GENEIMG.nbh, reboot the phone in bootloader mode and it will read the rom file from sd card. After that just follow the onscreen instructions.
I hope i have answered your query coz i dont really got your question.

How to flash rom on gene from the sd card
hi
pls see below details for the same
.HOW TO FLASH ROM ON GENE FROM THE SD CARD
1. Rename the .nbh file of your rom of choice to GENEIMG.nbh, drop into the root of your SD card.
2.Poweroff your phone
3.hold the volume down key and while continuing to hold it power on ur phone
4. The Phone will go into the bootloader mode, and will auto detect the rom image from the SD Card and ask if you want to proceed by hitting the power button. Hit the power button and the rom will install
Note : it should take about 10-15 mins (as of now i have not tried this try at ur own risk )
also make sure that ur SD card is Fat32 or format the same to Fat32 & use a smaller memory card the smaller the better
this is as per my experience using the above method on my previous phone ie gene(P3400i)
correct me if im wrong
thanks

rename the ruu_signed.nbh to GENEIMG.nbh and the flash a custom rom via storage card.
rom upgrading works very fine on win7 64bit.you Just need to use the right drivers for the same.

I am on stock 16GB sd card class2 and HD2 stock battteryI tried 2GB class 2 and 8Gb class 6. I am on Radio 2.10 and even upgraded to 2.12.Lot of SODS and phone restarts automatically.
After SOD windows won't load up and hangs at Stick together logo and will never go forward. Need to take off the battery and need to wait for couple of minutes and after wards it loads.
After getting into Android, gets again SOD and will reboot and when I get back into android, will try to check email or make call and then again phone restarts itself.
Any ideas.

this has happened to me as well, using mattc 1.5b with Cloudy 1.6 winmo ROM
Radio 2.10.50.26. I am unable to provide the cause of this, just seems to be
random.
Could be corrupt files on you sd card. A bit time consuming, but doesn't hurt..
- Copy your sd card onto your pc.
- Format sd card (fat32)
- Copy everything back
I read somewhere that this problem can be caused with mounting your sd card from your phone via usb. I know I had a lot of problems with Android seeing the new files I copied over so I stopped doing it (connecting via usb).

Friend,
I did copying N number of times, formatting SD card..
Do you want to me to try still?
Any other suggestions?
Just dittoing. Having the same problem with chuckyrom + mattc 1.5. Seems to happen when i'm not using the phone for a while.
Can I load the stock firmware , and install HSP3 and start running android?
Do I need to have a different ROM to run this? All I understood was earlier there was a sound issue but not now..Can I do the above step?

I had this same self-reboot issues, regardless of android build, even after deleting and re-creating the android folder in the sd card.
Following is how I managed to solve it:
Take out sd card and use card reader, mount it on a winxp machine.
Copy ALL files to a backup folder in pc. Use 'xcopy /e /c *.* c:\sdbak\.' for example, as normal copy/paste wouldn't work if it found errors due to corrupted files.
Use sd formatter. Refer to this thread. Do a Full format; a class 2, 8GB will take around 10 minutes to complete.
Copy back each backup folder into the formatted sd card, one by one. Recreate and copy your favorite android build onto the sd card.
Reinsert sd card, boot up and start android from fresh.
Let us know if this works for you.
i did do full format in xp before and have random reboot problems. Maybe something happened since then, ill try this tool.
Did it and no dice, still reboots. Im gonna try another suggestion about uninstalling setcpu.
setcpu
this restart happens to me everytime i use setcpu im on shubcraft 1.4b with the r4 overclocked zimage labeled NewKernels_LatestGIT_r4_BTalternative it just started happening with this zimage. are you using setcpu try uninstalling it it worked for me! i never had this prob with the original zimage! hope this helps!

It doesn't work. It still reboots inspite of doing all the above steps.
I have the same issue with crashing back to windows mobile when inactive, this is only recent for me, previously Android was solid as a rock. Guess I will try a build without adding apps or settings and see if it crashes, then add apps one at a time.
Does anyone know of a way of catching the error/crash reason?

Just a note, shub and darkstone's builds gave me random reboots. Ive moved to mattc's nexus based build and it has been super solid.
I have installed mattc 1.7 and zimage r11 with all .ko files and no longer experience reboots in android, I use task manager and setcpu also, its worth trying a this if you have probs
Sent From My HD2 using xda Android app
Hi all,
cause my HD2 was getting freeze, I decided to flash it again. After few attempts I am in phase, that I can´t successfully finish any ROM flashing.
I tried official ROMs 1.66.405.2, 1.66.479.2, 3.14.479.2 and also unofficial.
Now I have HSPL 3.03 and flashing always ends up with error mostly in 1% or more %, because of "communication error" or "image file corruption" or "old version of DFT". Flashing from SD card does not work, it goes directly in SPL window..
Phone is still under warranty, but I´m afraid they will refuse it due to installed HSPL.
Does exist some another app like TASK29 or low-level formatting tool?
Any idea what could I try? Can it be cause of corrupted flash memory?
Thanks.
Mira
Don't freak out all is not lost you just hit a bump in the road. Did you reflash HSPL after trying to flash via SD card as flashing a official ROM via SD card will revert you back to SPL.
Yes run a Task 29 on your HD2 and make sure you right click it and run it as administrator. You have to have HSPL to run a Task 29 though so make sure you have HSPL before you run it.
I have used HSPL4 app so at this time I have in phone 3.03 HSPL.
Flashing from SD card didn´t work, window with instruction does not appear.
With Task29 is the situation same. Mostly it does not finish successfully and fail after 19% due to reasons mentioned above. I have only one account in WinXP with admin rights, so this is ok I think.
Just to be sure here you copied the RUU_signed.nbh file to your SD card and renamed it LEOIMG.nbh and then powered your HD2 on while holding the volume down button down right? Just double checking is all, plus you might have to reformat your SD card using Fat 32 if you try it again and get the same results.
It does not matter if you have one or more admin accounts on your computer and it does not matter if you are using the admin account still right click it and run as admin trust me on this.
Also go to myphone.microsoft.com/getstarted and download and install the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center wich ever one you need according to what version of Windows your computer uses. I tell you to do this to make sure you have the latest USB drivers for your HD2.
- yes I tried it exactly this way, they were 1GB and 4GB microSD formated as FAT32
- as I said, I do not have possibility run exe file as admin, however it was working fine in the past
- I´m using now latest version MS Activesync 4.5.0
still no change

Try Googling for "Panasonic micro SD card formatting software" downloads and install it (it is free) and format your card with it. Sometimes the windows format utility just doesn't do the job. Then place the leoimg.nbh file on your SD card and try to flash it.
I got my Toshiba Tg01 three days ago. Since then I waste all of my free time trying to flash ANY rom just to get rid of the WM6.5 looking. I downloaded 3 miROMs, but they gave me the same error. Tried flashing the rom that has 0321 radio to get to download mode - not succeeded aswell. I tried using SDDL method and pin method. They gave me the same error: SD Downloading Failed - File Read Error.
I have no idea what to do or what is wrong with my device. I'll donate some cash if someone could help me flash my TG01. Can anyone help me?!
Edit: I just reformatted my sd card (fat32) and redownloaded some roms to my laptop. Same file read error. I'm getting sick of this...
Edit2: Just tried with .tsw .enc and .bin formated roms, neither of them worked, same error. HELP ME!
try with sddl+ and will work with .tsw make a folder prg in storage card and put the rom there

I just reformatted my memory card (again), downloaded the rom with 0321 radio, renamed it to tg01_release.tsw and moved to the newly created prg folder on my sd card. Now I have three files in the folder. The rom file, sddl and sddl+. When I click on sddl+, the phone reboots and the same error appears: sd downloading failed - file read error.
