Vodafone ROM?

Anyone have an original shipped Vodafone ROM? Upgraded to the Cingular release and wanting to revert back, didn't see it posted in the wiki or FTP.

I'd like to do the same thing actually. I think the Cingular ROM has made my 750 a little unstable. Either that or Cingular's doing stuff to the network in my area and it's affecting my phone. I think it's the Cingular ROM though.

I too am seeing funny things going on with the Cingular ROM installed. I want to go back to the Voda ROM (original version).
I have search MANY forums all over the world and cannot find the original Voda ROM for this phone.
Whoever gets it, please let me know so I can get it.
Thanks

Did anybody find it?

You will need to wait until Vodafone releases an update for the Treo 750v before you can restore their ROM.

I have a original Vodafone ROM, well its unlocked but I don't know how to copy it, if someone will guide me through it, I wouldn't giving it up to everyone.

Vodafone ROM please?
Hi,
I just bought a Used 750v - it was originally the Vodafone 750v but it looks like the Cingular ROM has been installed on it.
I am looking to Restore it back to the Factory Default.
thanks!

I hear new Vodafone rom for the 750v will be out at the end of the month (End of Jan), this will also be of a higher AKU... Still no HSDPA support, that comes in March/April time with another update....

I guess keep an eye out her or other forums. I am guessing a Palm will act to get them removed from the site if they are hosted here.

Don't worry, a new release is imminent now. (without HSDPA though)

where did you get this info???

You see the build I am running?

Ok... so you appear to have WM5 AKU 2.6 on your 750v. Maybe the ROM is coming hopefully sooner than later.

So if you already have the new build, why don't you share it, or tell us when to expect the new rom? I can't wait for a new rom, I hope it fixes some nasty bugs on my treo..

I'd rather have a Cingular ROM than a Vodafone ROM with AKU2.6...AKU2.3 and AKU2.6 aren't really different at all. But an AKU3.x ROM, now we're talkin...

I'd rather have a Voda ROM since I don't want/need the Cingular customizations. I also don't use MSN messenger so that one is a non-issue.

Hi there,
Have spotted that Calico had an original French-ROM 750v.
Calico, if it remained untouched, are you considering exchanging it with my original English-ROM version? Where are you based?
Cheers, Dom

Oops sorry... wrong post...

Suggested ROM Upgrade for MDA Vario?

Hi there,
I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario and I'm interested in upgrading the ROM in it. These are the details displayed on the flash screen when i turn it on:
IPL: 1.06
SPL: 1.06
GSM: 01.12.10
OS: 1.6.2.4
From what I've read, I can assume this is a G3 model (which makes my life easier)
Can people tell me what is the most recent upgrade I can install? I don't care if the ROM is not T-Mobile.
Thanks!

Yes you do have a G3 which like you said will make your life easier. The first thing you need to do is spend some time reading. Only after becoming totally familiar with the process should you flash your phone.

Thanks for confirming that I have a G3 rkwyte2 - from what I've read, there seem to be a lot more roms out there for that revision of the software. I'm not going to go doing anything to my phone too quickly - I can see from other threads that you can seriously mess things up if I don't go about this job properly.
I'm tempted to upgrade to the latest Qtek flash - that way I'm independent of the various carriers out there. Does this sound like a good idea? Do people rate one flash over another? If so, what do people recommend?
Thanks

I think everyone has their personal favorite. I have used many different ROMs and they all have good and not so good points. I really like Molski's latest 2.6 ROM it is very nice and would most likely fit what you want. The thread is quite long for that one but the first page has most everything you need as far as info goes.
Kirby

I checked out Molski's website and his ROM looks interesting. Would you say that the offical ROMs are more/less stable than homebrew ROMs?

That is hard to say really. I can't tell the difference between them except that the custom ROMs usually have extras built into them.

well im running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700 i like it so far.. seems stable. i really miss the aku3.2 already but uve got a few roms to choose from!

I don't believe the WM6 ROM that I got contains a Radio ROM, so I'm still using my old Radio ROM 2.47.11, which I think it's the latest.
shogunmark posted this awhile back on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279380

i have 2.47.11 on WM6, and i have some problems, my device keeps rebooting when talking over 5 minutes... was ok in the WM5 3.2 version, but now im getting problems again....

I use T-Mobile 2.19.11 radio, works perfect (never change a winning team!).

oh, thats nice if its working... gonna grab that one then.... hope its on the ftp, and the RADIO ONLY update thanx for info !!!
love your .cab hacks , they work for WM6 also

Would that be on the US network?
GSM when it boots is the radio rom right?
I seem to be experiencing some problems most notably the reception has gotten worse (in terms of # of bars) since upgrading from your molski ROM to the WM6 rom, as well as the prompts for roaming.

Does this rom work for Cingular in the US? I just loaded it as 2.25 was giving me weird issues on wm6, but since this is a euro spec radio not sure how it handles 850

hjkl;' why no delete?

Everyone is saying to use the tmobile 2.19.11 radio rom but all i can find is the UK version. Does this work in the US? If not, where can i find a US version? Search doesnt help much, and google gives me junk. I dont trust many other sites then here or tmobiles site, so any help would be appreciated.

all the same afaik (all of them are quadband, so no problem) - just go ahead with the UK one!

Heh... when searched failed me, I kept trying with google, and oddly enough, it found an instance of "2.19" and "radio" that the internal search did NOT find. sure enough, that thread had a post where someone (with an american flag symbol in his info) said he used that rom, so i tried it out. I called myself, and the call went thru, so I would say its safe for now. Thank you for your reply though, I was expecting a "search for it" reply if any.

Please Help a Newbie

I am picking up a tmobile mda this weekend. I have a few things I would like to do to it but all the talks about the different roms and kitchens, radio etc can be a bit confusing. Here is what I would like to do maybe you can point me in the right direction.
1. I am an att customer so it will need to be unlocked
2. I would like windows mobile 6
3. Touch would be a big plus
4. I would also like to use the contacts that are scrollable that I have seen on a few youtube vids.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am reading the flashing guide as well as any other guides that look helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you CID unlock or SIM unlock (or both)?
If you are not sure then go through the links in the 2nd post. If CID unlocked then you can install WM6 but again go through the links in 2nd post and the sticky thread on "how to flash" in this forum.

be sure to know what you're doing. better to think twice....
i recommend the xda roms easy to do and a great perfomance.
but when you're a handy person use the central kitchen.
good luck

Not sure what you mean by private, but I'd suggest upgrading the radio to the UK T-Mobile 2.19 version here.

Will that work here in the US? Is it better than my Cingular 2.25.11 radio?
Also my phone is not unlocked or anything. Will I have to unlock it to be able to upgrade the Radio Rom?

Radio ROM Upgrade????
OooooooooK________...... Let's pretend that i have the slightest clue as to where to begin (and incase you're wondering I looked it up before i typed this, and didn't see anything for the radio rom alone)... may i have a link to a guide, i should be able to figure it out from there. Also just incase i screw up is this a brick risky situation or can it be reversed?

Treo 750 WM6 Rom questions

I have a few questions in regards to the Treo 750 WM6 rom
Will the AT&T rom work within Australia?
If no why not?
What skillsets are required to make your own rom?
I sincerely thank you for any help.

This should be in the technical discussion. No need for a new thread.
Moderator, can you delete this thread, please?

Hi snowdonx, welcome to xda-dev.
I don't see why it wouldn't work in Australia - but I can't say for sure so someone else will have to give you a definitive answer there.
As far as making your own ROMs - everything you need to know can be learned here. I'd suggest reading some of the newer guides in the Hermes forum to get started.
To give you a head start - there's a couple basic things to be aware of. First, newer devices like the Hermes and Treo 750 will not allow flashing of custom ROMs, or more correctly, ROMs that aren't signed with a carrier or manufacturer certificate. The bootloader (SPL) enforces this. So the first step in getting custom ROMs on a device is putting in place a modified bootloader that allows unsinged ROMs. The number of folks who can do this is very limited compared to the number of folks who can build customer ROMs.
Creating the ROMs, in a nutshell, involves dumping an existing ROM using tools available here, making modifications, rebuilding the ROM, and flashing.
Hope you enjoy your stay here. =)

Yup. Works a treat on Telstra and if you read through the thread you will see it works on Optus and Vodafone too.

and Three too

Does it work on the NextG network on Telstra? i'm pretty sure it should since HSDPA is included on the Treo ROM Upgrade... and how do I get the telstra software and settings onto the treo as well? Do I need to unlock the sim at all?

wow.......

Hi, I'm in Aus aswell and thinking of getting an unlocked 750V from ebay......just a question about how the IMEI is changed after upgrading to the UNOFFICIAL WM6, what will happen if the OFFICIAL WM6 rom becomes available...are we able to upgrade without problems....i know this has been asked before on other threads but no one seems to know the answer......i guess those that have upgraded to the leaked roms will find out when they try to upgrade the official rom when it becomes available......

Just try the official WM6 ROM in the upload dir on the ftp:
uploads/Treo 750Cheetah/WM6 ROM Cheetah Treo 750v
Download the NBH, put it on an empty memory card and insert it into the Treo
Push the sidebutton (below the volume keys), the right softkey below the display and reset with the stylus (all together) and the bootloader starts and you can upgrade the treo to WM6 with HSDPA enabled.
Cheers mate!

thanks, also what are the main differences between 750 and 750v models?.....apart from the word 'vodafone' stamped on the actual phone.....

the main difference is that the Vodafone firmware has Vodafone presets and Vodafone theme next to the standard Windows themes and settings. (Customisation for Vodafone). In the original WM5 rom, there was no messenger available. In WM6 the Live Messenger is back ! Other than that, I don't think there are other differences.

this ROM appears to come from Vodafone (AU)
CE OS: 5.2.1239 (Build 17746.0.2.4)
Firmware version: 1.47.02.00
so far so good...

So it's almost the same, just Firmware version on AT&T is newer: 1.47.02.00 VS Firmware version: 1.47.25.00

yes, nothing unexpected. (баян)
