Updating to 6.1

[trublu01]

I pretty much read through all these 6.1 threads and have really not found the answer. So I must ask. I downloaded the update along with the CheetahUnlocker. I got through the the first two steps of the unlocker and then on the last reboot of the device, it just sits at the "rainbow" screen with a couple version # and USB or Serial at the bottom (depending on cable connect), no update starts. My 2gb card is installed and FAT32. There are other folders on the card, but at the root is CHEEIMG.nbh. Am I missing a step? I'm guessing it's not getting unlocked properly due to me booting in the loader and normally setup should start, being that the file is in the root of the FAT32 card. A little guidence would be apprieciated. Thanks

It IS importand what version numbers you see. Second one (SPL) should end with OliNex or you don't have hardspl. I'm always using blank card with only file CHEEIMG.nbh . You can also try using KaiserCustomRUU updating way (the only one I'm using lately).

Ok, what I worte was in case you have HardSPL and want to flash rom. If you're stuck in cheetahunlocker process, do to system partition (usualu C:) and delete CheeTemp (or cheetmp) catalog. Then run whole process again.

And if you're updating or unlocking from pc, it is not bad idea to put card out of Treo.

All those if-cases are caused by what you wrote. I don't get what are you doing or you don't (you write about cheetahunlocker nd cheeimg.nbh at this same time - it doesn't make sense for me)...

Thanks. Looks like I bricked it. It just sits at the Palm startup screen. I've tried to hard reset with no luck.

What different steps have to be performed when using the KaiserCustomRUU? What I meant was I downloaded the CHEEIMG.nbh and the CheetahUnlocker. The CheetahUnlocker never displayed any version. I don't remember what error had come up, but I could not go further after the reboot after Step 2, nor could I find any instructions on what to do from that point on. Should I not have to use the lokwiz program? So when I get my replacement. What is the first thing I should do? hell, all the steps would be apprieciated. Thanks

You got your rainbow screen. Write down all numbers. That's first step.

To unbrick you can try to flash with any official rom.

To flash using kaisercustomruu rename cheeimg.nbh to RUU_signed.nbh, put to one folder with kaisercustomruu.exe and run it. When you don't have working rom on Treo, put into bootloader ("rainbow") and then run ruu.

as in KaiserCustomRUU?

[trublu01]

Well I tried it and the RUU displays ver 1.23.707.6, then I click update. The phone goes to grey screen with percentage and gets ERROR 270: Image File is corrupt, Check your update utility. I've tried this with 2 different nbh files, renaming them to RUU_signed.nbh and placing them in the same folder as the KaiserCustomRUU.exe. I DO NOT have the MiniSD card in.

[trublu01]

Ahhh, anyone?

[trublu01]

Does one HAVE TO update the radio? Will the default one still work?

[trublu01]

HA! I see what I was doing wrong, after running step 1 and step 2 of the CheetahUnlocker. I had no idea I was supposed to put the card in with the nbh file. I Updated OS to 6.1. How does one upload a new radio? Is there a better one than the standard ATT radio? Also after OS is said and done. Do I need to do anything else? Thanks again.
