Issues loading WM6 rom

[veridian]

I've tried installing the file using the bootloader method countless times now and every time I get a coloured screen with "Serial" at the bottom and some text up the top.

I've tried the card as it was when I got it, Tried it formatted FAT32 with windows, tried it formatted with Resco on the device, etc. It's definitely FAT32.

When I open any of the 3 .exe files from Palm in winzip or winrar there are two .nbh files (CHEEIMG.nbh and CHEEIMG_FW.nbh) one is ~263kb and one is ~85MB.

From everything I have read so far I ignore the correctly named small one (CHEEIMG.nbh) and copy the big one (CHEEIMG_FW.nbh) to the SD card - once thats done I rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh and I should be good to go - start the bootloader and it should work but it's just not happening.

Am I missing something? I just can't get it to work. I've tried the 3, vodafone and generic (ROW) files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

I'm currently running TREO750-1.15-ROW
Firmware: 1.27.3b.00

As far as I understand all this you have to run Hard-SPL first, otherwise your device won't load "foreign" roms.

hmm ok I'll try that but since it's a ROW to ROW update I thought it's not a foreign ROM?

I think you can flash all official and leaked without Hard-SPL... It's needed for cooked roms.

surely I shouldn't need it for the bootloader method?

Anyone got any ideas that may help me upgrade?
