Instructions for Treo 650

IMPORTANT! YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT THE PHONE WILL UNLOCK CORRECTLY

Please note that Treo 650 screenshots may vary from those pictured here.

1. Locate your Hotsync cable. This cable plugs into the bottom of your phone and has a USB plug on the other side.
   
   If you don't have a Hotsync or USB cable or prefer to use a Secure Digital card, please click here to view our alternate instructions.
2. Download the unlocking program for the Treo 650 from the link below. If your browser asks you open or save the file, pick "Open".

   Download from here (unlocker-palm.zip)
   

3. If you saved the file to your desktop, find the ZIP file (named unlocker-palm.zip) and open it by double-clicking the file.
4. Install the unlocking program using Palm Desktop by double-clicking on the PRC file in the ZIP file. Pick the one in the language you are most comfortable using.

   If you double-click the PRC file and you don't see "Palm Quick Install" or another Palm file install window, you may need to install Palm Desktop from the link at the top of this page.

   If you get a message that indicates you need to create a new user through Palm Desktop, launch the Palm Desktop program and create a user with your name, then try again.

   When the program comes up asking you what you want to do with the file, click OK.
   

5. Ensure that you have "Local USB" selected as a Hotsync option by right-clicking on the hotsync icon in your system tray.
   
6. Connect your Hotsync cable to the bottom on your phone
7. Push the button on your Hotsync cable to start a Hotsync operation and wait for it to complete
   
8. If you get the message that the connection cannot be established with the desktop computer, you may need to reinstall Palm Desktop or switch to a different USB port
9. (Treo 650/680 only) Remove the battery from the phone, count to 10 and place it back in. (Treo 600 only) Push the reset button on the back of the phone with a paperclip or other instrument. The phone will now reboot back to PalmOS
10. Run the program "Treo Unlock" that you installed on your phone. If you don't see the program listed, ensure that you have selected the "all" category from the top of the home screen.
    

    IMPORTANT: If your phone locks up or resets each time you run the program, you will need to "hard reset" the phone to clear any programs or settings that might be interfering with the unlocking process:
