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!!

I used the romkitchen to upgrade the rom on my phone. it broke my device and i cant get into anything besides bootloader.
Is there any way i can install a rom from bootloader and get my XDA working again?
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".
BTW the above is based on using XDArit version 1.0 which can be download from the software section at:
http://www.yorch.net and a PCI USB 3-One Travel Flash reader P/N FPT-D bought at Fry's.
HTH
i dont have a SD card disk drive on my computer. I have an SPV and by putting the SD card into it, i can write to the SD card by using the windows interface tho. can i simply drag and drop the nb1 file to the sd card instead of the XDArit method?
thanks very much for that reply mate. hopefully ill my XDA will return from hospital soon.
nope that doesnt work. i can manually copy files onto the sd card but copying just the nb1 file onto the card and rebooting doenst achieve anything.

hi:
that happened to me this morning.
here's how i fixed it:
i have a sd card, and went to a t-mobile store, asked to borrow one of their phones, used wallaby bootloader (soft reset with the backlight button held down) to write the boot os to the sd card.
then popped the sd card in my phone, wallaby bootloader to load the image, and presto!
working phone.
i'm on a Mac, so I am wondering if its possible to flash the Radio from the SD or in a way that does NOT involve a computer. the phone is SuperCID and I have successfully flashed the regular ROM a number of times using the OK+PWR+RESET method from an SD card, but now i noticed that i can upgrade my Radio too.
I am trying to flash it with HERM_Radinly_1.54.30.10_CustomRUU and do not have access to a PC.
Pls help.. 'cause the Wiki hasnt yet. Not very Mac friendly, and I dont have Parallels.
.lau
If you want to flash rom by SD card. the file should be in .nbh format. also need to rename in HERMIMG.nbh.
You can flash by SD if you're direct use of HERM_Radinly_1.54.30.10_CustomRUU
Shouldn't be a problem.
Open your radio file with winrar and you should see a xxxxxx.nbh file in there - probably about 14MB size. Extract this file to your SD card and rename it to HERMIMG.nbh then flash the same way you did before.
As a tip, I normally make sure the SD card is empty (I usually format it also) before I copy the nbh file to it.

it seemed needn't to make SD card empty. BUT MAKE SURE YOUR SD CARD IS FAT32 FORMAT, it's important.
change name to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to SD card(just place it to SD Card do not copy to and folders)
i've done this several times.
Card flash zeroes PIM data?
Awesome, exactly the info I was looking for. Just one more question before I go for it. I know as a general rule it's a good idea to back everything up. But just so I know, will flashing the radio wipe out the thing? Or will I not need to load all my data back in?
no it will not wipe anything out.....
just load it and soft reset
I have a working CRC rom now, but when i started looking into flashing a lot of ppl were saying i should only flash off the sd card. well, it didn't work when i first tried it, and i thought i would enquire as to why this was.
i did everything as the faq/wiki said, i have got the latest Hard SPL on my phone, i renamed the file to HERMIMG.nbh, i held the necessary buttons in and clicked reset with the stylus and i didnt get that gray menu. all i got was the 4 color thing that normally comes up when flashing ROMs. I did manage to successfully flash by USB/Activesync, but as i said im curious to know what stopped it from working, and maybe learn how to do it right in time for CRCs next release
Are you sure that you extracted the .nbh from the archive and formatted the sd card to FAT32? I know you said you did everything; I'm just double checking
3. Extract the .NBH file from your preferred ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you format the card fat32? This seems to be so simple most people overlook it and go to the 2nd step.
I've also found that I sometimes need to reformat my sd card (even though I flashed heaps of times with it) or it won't work.
Also you can only use up to a 2gb card to flash. The os will recognise a sdhc card but the bootloader won't...
Cheers...
i did format it to fat32, and i did rename it to that filename
i will try again soon and will report back, but for now i am happy with CRC 13
If the sd card is more than 2gb then it won't work also as the bootloader WILL NOT recognise an sdhc card...
Cheers...
No .NBH File
I think I am having the same issue, but I also think I know where the issue stems from.
CRC's files are in .7z format and the only file they seem to contain is the RUUWrapper.exe file and not also the RUU_signed.nbh file (the one that you should be renaming) that seem to be the standard of most other ROMs - unless I'm missing something.
I'm working from Linux (hence why I need the SD card option), just thought I'd throw that out there as an FYI in case it matters.

it turned out this was the problem ,
edit: meant to quote the post where it mentions formating to FAT32..
cyrxi, in windows you can use winrar to extract the .nbh file out of the .exe file. Not sure what you'd do in linux....
Sorry...
Is there a way to flash the Raphael without Windows, just by booting it into SPL and inserting a microSD with an image on it?
Why I'm asking? What, if a new ROM bricks the device in such way, that ActiveSync will no longer connect to it? RaphaelCustomRUU.exe will not work anymore.
If you have HardSPL you can flash from the SD card. I have flashed 6-7 custom roms on my TP and I haven't used the custom RUU for any of them.

I had this problem with ROMeOS v1.04, activesync just did not connect and no programs started, rebooting did not help. I already thought my phone to be brick!
Just press volume down and powerbutton to turn it on (should be off before of course) and you will end in the bootloader, flashing with RaphaelCustomRUU.exe works if the phone is on in bootloader mode and connected to computer. (thank god!)

I guess im the only one who cannot flash a ROMeOS rom from a SD-Card.
I've tried everything formatted the card to FAT32 renamed the .nbh to RAPHIMG.NBH tried caps and non caps. I even tried to format to regular FAT but still no go.
As you can see in my signature i have flashed Hard-SPL 1.90.OliNex
Mine are called RAPHIMG.nbh and they have to be in the root map of your SD, I do this with al the new ROM flashes, because I believe it's faster and you don't have the battery limit (which is there for good reason of course). So root map and there you won't see .nbh in the root map, just RAPHIMG. hope this helps

You need the nbh file extension. It just won't show if you have "Show File Extensions" turned off. If you use FileExplorer on PPC, you'll see RAPHIMG not RAPHIMG.nbh. (Check the file name in Windows or TotalCommander to be sure).
The file must be on the root of you SD Card and it should work, unless the OliNex HardSPL has some extra options / checks.

I already thought he meant the hide extensions thing but just to be sure
I've tried RAPHIMG.nbh but it doesn't work for my device.
I also own a Hermes and just flashed it the SD-Card way with HERMIMG.nbh and that device works perfectly, so it isn't a card problem.
Could it be an Hard-SPL thing then?

I've spoken with cmonex about this and there's no reason it shouldn't flash from the SD card. The code is in Olinex 1.90 to do it.
RAPHIMG.NBH on a FAT32 Formated Card and hey presto

Dave
I just tried it and it works. The file is named 'RAPHIMG.nbh' on the root of my storage card. Booted into bootloader mode and it instantly loads the nbh file.
Nice to know. So finally I do not have to boot Windows any more
I tried this for the first time just now, hadnt even thought to use the sd card, I usuallly go through all the hassle of using a vm just to flash.
File is named RAPHIMG.nbh on the root of the sd, restart holding vol- and thats it.

Could it depend on which ROM you flash? Because honestly i only tried to flash ROMeOS with SD-Card. I never tried to flash DCS or something else.
So many people with successful flashes with the SD so i'm almost sure i'm doing something wrong here.
I will try again a soon as a newer ROM comes out because i'm a bit tired flashing different ROMs
Thanks for all the support.
I was using ROMeOS v1.10. sd card is a sandisk 6gb. Its hard to see what could prevent it from working for you, hopefully something will turn up.
Ishould also note it is considerably faster flashing from sd than over usb.
Put your miniSD in a card reader and from Windows, right click it and select format. Choose fat32 and leave the volume label blank. If it automatically adds a name delete it before proceeding with the format. After it's formatted, place your RAPHIMG.nbh on the rott of the card. Enter bootloader by holding volume down and pressing reset and it will find the image file. From there follow the on screen instructions and it will be done in a few minutes.

It is indeed. It is:
1. Safer [Risk free if you ensure you have at least 50% of battery left.]
2. Faster [Way much faster.]
3. Windowsless [that's a blessing!]
Good luck.
Cheers.
I had problems too flashing hang.tuah's rom but only 1.05 it would flash but not boot up, i tried through 2 pcs and via flash card.
i couldn't flash by my actual card cause from what I read sdhc isn't necessarily supported in bootloader, so i borrowed a friends 2gb microsd and that worked with flashing.
Since there is a new version of ROMeOS i'm gonna try it again.
I'm going nuts over here
I renamed the ruu_signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh and copied it to the root of a FAT32 formatted SanDisk 2GB Ultra II card (non-SDHC) and check it for errors.
When i insert the card and reset while pressing the volume down button to enter the bootloader, the device says "No Image File Found" and just stays in the bootloader
What am i doing wrong here??? It's no that a big deal because i can flash using the wrapper but it should also flash with the SD-Card.
I'm almost giving up here
If there are any more idea's bring em up
Here's the problem I had WP7 nand, micro usb broke, sent it away I need a new main-board (boooo) so dual booted with android for a while, now I have flashed via sd card but feel its very laggy due to not been formatted, is there a way to task 29 with the need of a usb cable yet???
I no its a long shot but worth a go

Extract the task 29.exe file. Find the file named "RUU_signed.nbh"
Rename it with "leoimg.nbh". Copy it to the root of SD card.
Turn off the phone. Go into bootloader (press vol down + power on buttons).
Make sure you have HSPL installed before doing it.
And keep in mind it will erase MAGLDR + ROM. You cannot reflash MAGLDR via SD Card.
Good luck
well this is what I know about Task 29. It has to have a .nbh file to flash, but Task 29 runs after the .nbh has been flashed. So I am not really sure if this is possible or not as this means the actual task 29.exe is seperate from the .nbh meaning it is not contained in the .nbh file.

I am stupid here and seeking knowledge. I thought that would just flash the radio, to actually perform the Task 29 or initiate the Task 29.exe file you would have to be using a RUU.
I mean a official ROM runs a Task 28 before flashing a ROM package when flashing via RUU. But I thought you had to have the RUU to initiate the Task 28.exe file. Like I said in my other post the Task 29.exe and Task 28.exe files are not contained in the .nbh files and that is what you are flashing when flashing via SD card. the other files that are in a rom zip file are all used by the RUU.
So I need to get my self a stock rom and grab the task.exe, I don't wanna go back to stock, I wanna re-flash this custom rom, so i can re-name it to LEOIMG.nbh whack both files on a blank formatted FAT32 sd card.
Whats the chances of this not working, will it go wrong or would it just flash the rom anyhow, like I said I have no usb at all, so i can only use my sd cards.
oh yeah I already lost magdlr as far as i no by going back to winmo, im not bothered about that if i want android again i can boot from sd
There's a 100% chance that it wont task29.
as outlined above, the nbh file is only there because ruu wont run without one, which is why you can use boot image nbh, radio nbh or even a blank nbh with task29.exe. The task29 ruu is a standard ruu hex edited to perform the task29, so flashing the nbh from SD will do just that... flash the nbh.
Putting the. Exe onto SD wont help since it isn't a winmo exe.
Thanks Sam I kinda thought that after I read through these post's again, I have changed to NRG rom and all seems fine now anyway, but like I said in the first post was worth a shot to see if it could be done,
