I have a Siemens SX66 Cingular branded PPC. I downloaded the latest Official ROM Update but get the Wrong Country ID error. I found out that this was due my phone being an AT&T varient even though the phone says Cingular. So I wanted to know is anyone has the original ROM update that came out before the Siemens-1.33.10-Full_Update and if so could provide it to me thank you in advance. I need to put an offical rom back on my phone so I can send it back to cingular so they can send me a replacement phone.
Go to the SX66 Standardization Project to get the most recent ROMs for the SX66; they have both Cingular & ATT versions.
I went there but it's not an official version number which cingular will check for.

Try following the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FAQ_Upgrade_Errors
You will need to run the upgrade a second time for it to install, the first time clears the previous contents, the second time the upgrade should run.
That wont work already tried that. Thankz for the resond though. BTW how do you like that new wizard OS on your sx66?

Did you edit the .conf file as outlined in step 4? This worked for me. You may also try the MaUpgradeUt_noID route as well.
I prefer WM 2005 over 2003 I'm willing to work with the warts and try to advance the ball
Ya it gets rid of that error but then i get a error in the checksum

go back and make sure you have edited the editfix.bat file correctly, there is a set of three lines to recalculate the checksum and update it for each of the nba files (xda3nbftool -c -u ?????.nba).
hakushox,
The only way to get back to an officially supported ROM on the AT&T variant of the SX66 is with the MaUpgradeUt_noID. Now, I have not tried this, but here is what you'd need to do. Download the official Siemens update for the 1.33.10 System, and launch it. Once the first screen screen appears, open the Windows File Explorer, and search for nk.nbf. The one you are looking for will exist in a temp directory, and will exist with ms_.nbf, and radio_.nbf. Copy these files to a easy to find directory as these are the files you'll need to do the downgrade with. Cancel the offcial upgrade tool. Now, download the MaUpgradeUt_noID tools from this site, and extract it to a directory on your computer. Copy the .nbf files into that directory. Now, place your phone into boot loader mode, and place it in the cradle. Wait a few minutes for the OS to detect the "new" sync device. Finally launch the MaUpgradeUt_noID tool, and step through the screens. Once completed, it will place System 1.33.10, Radio 1.06.02, and Extended 1.33.110 ROMs on your device.
This works because the MaUpgradeUt_noID tool does check the ROM ids, and will let you flash any IDed rom onto your phone. As you can imagine, it is a rather dangerous tool if you don't have a good idea what you are doing, which is why I have tried to get it away from the Standardization project.

I tried uploading the original SX66 Cingular rom to the FTP but for some reason its not responding, if some one wants it email me and I will send it.
SysCrasher13 -
I am interested in downloading the factory Siemens SX66 firmware, after upgrading the firmware my SD slot no longer recognizes SD Memory... very strange.
Please let me know where to download the factory firmware.
Note: I have (2) SD PNY cards that work fine in my PPC4100, however, my SX66 doesn't recognize either card and wondering if this maybe a compatibility issue. I'm going to swap the 512MB with a SANdisk tomorrow to see if this rectifies the problem. Can anyone confirm SD compatibility issues with the SX66 --- is there a SD Memory quick reference chart available for the SX66?
Mike
Let me know if anybody has any ideas before I send it in for repairs...
Thanks - Mike
Palm released the WM6-Update in English now.
How long will they need to release the update in other languages, for example German ?
I asked Palm but they even have no planned release date they could tell ....................

Thank you for contacting Palm(tm) Technical Support.
Your case number is: X-XXXXXXXX
You ask when the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade will be available for the generic Treo 750.
Unfortunately we do not have a date for the release, but the "coming soon" shoul mean about a month.

Vodafone Austria has just released the german update >>> www.a1.net/treo
Thanks for you info.
As far as i can see the update version is Treo750-2.18 carrier code VFD,
so Vodafone German.
I'll give it a try.

pls, give us a feedback

Can u give us a feedback on such things as:
Are the alternate symbols working, i.e. umlaute like ä,ö,ü with on click, or do u still have to hit the navkey three times down to choose them?
What kind of branding does this rom offer? A1 or Vodafone splashscreen for powering on and off the phone? Any waste of storage, like program links known from the att rom?
I am really looking forward reeding u'r experiences.
The only branding in this Rom is the Vodafone logo at startup and shutdown. No additional crap and apps like in the AT&T one.To get rid of the Vodafone logo you could make the Treo vanilla by deleting the extrom as described in other threads here.To get the Umlauts just press the alt key.
After the vanilla procedure
CC-Cap : 000-000-001
Carrier DB: 251
Free memory
Data: 54.65 MB
Programs: 28.53 MB
Firmware and OS-build are the same as in the English Vodafone-Version.
The Software-Version remains unchanged.
Well, I cannot update. When I start the original Update I'll get the error, that the update isn't for my device. I have a REGULAR Treo 750 not the Vodafone branded one. So I know it's not the "right" one. Where do I get a patched RUU.exe or something?
I expanded the Updater .exe-File and started the T750URT.exe and he Flashed a ROM, and as there's only one, namely CHEEIMG_FW.nbh I thought I would have WM 6 on it, but I didn't.
So can it be, that I have to unlock my device? Or is it an other problem?
To upgrade you can use the SD-card method described in this forum.
Or try this one:
- start the updater, stop at the first screen
- look at your temp directory, there is a new folder created
- edit the file "payloads.xml", in the section "carrier codes" replace the 3 letters with the letters you see on your treos system info
- go on with the updater (start update)
good luck
calico
have you tried to take the way with the Flashcard?
rename the Cheeimg_fw.nbh to cheeimg.nbh
format the SD-Card, copy file on it, reset while pressing the button below the volume-control and wait
A 750v (what you'll get - Imho) is not able to pull the Mailboxnumber from your Sim (if it's not a VF one) and it is not editable.
Can you imagine to make an Image of your original 750? Because it's german.

If you tell me how, I would surely make an image of my treo 750 without V before upgrading to wm6. I would also love to have an backup, but i got no idea how to do it. And there's no Information in the Wiki.
hmm,
there must be some dump tools in the ftp area. I've never done this, so I can't tell you how to.

Couldn't find anything on the FTP regarding Dumping a Treo ROM.
Will search buzz's site but if I can't find anything there and nobody can tell how to dump, I will upgrade without a previous dump.

So... which update is this, and for some reason it doesn't take the serial number that is in my Treo.
I have just bootloaded it and this are the specs that came out:
ROM Update
Generic ROW
Firmware: 1.54.0.00 --> newer than 3AU
CC-Cap: GEN-ENG-005
Carrier DB: 296
WM6 version: 5.2.1239 (Build 17746.0.2.4)
Changes I noticed:
- the operator logo (when turning the radio on and off) disappeared! WOOHOO! Not that I minded the Vodafone logo since I do use a Voda sim, but incase I change sims, atleast now I dont have an operator logo..
- the click sounds have reverted back to being non-existent (which I think is the norm for WM6).. but I missed it from WM5 so I loaded the fix for the sounds..
- Band selection I remember was around 4 options, now there is only 2 - [1]GSM (900+1800)+UMTS 2100; [2]GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

You need to update via the SD method, search the forum for further details about it, there are hundreds of post.
so how do u update the sf version if u use the sd method?
Read up on the bootloader method (it's mentioned here quite a bit). Pretty simple:
- Back up everything important off the device as it'll all get wiped. Make sure your battery is well charged too (don't want it going flat mid-update)
- Extract the updater from the .zip file using Winrar or similar. Then when you get the .exe file, extract this as well - you'll get a whole bunch of files
- Look for a file called CHEEIMG_FW.NBH
- Rename this file to CHEEIMG.NBH and put it in the root directory of your memory card (make sure it's formatted in FAT32)
- Put the phone in bootloader mode (hold down the bottom side (PTT) button and the reset button under the miniSD flap together)
- The phone should then go into bootloader mode, detect the firmware on the card, and prompt you to install it by pressing the power button> Just follow the on-screen instructions, and soft reset when it tells you it's finished!
Thanks for your help Ben, after extracting the rar file and then extracting the exe. file I found the file that you were referring to. I guess last time when i downloaded the Wm6 it already has been extracted by the poster.

Strange. Are you trying to update you're 750 or 750V? Because this is the unbranded update voor the Treo 750.

Have you read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340226 ?
You problably have to first downgrade you're treo to wm5 before upgrading to the official wm6. I haven't test this rom upgrade because i already have upgraded it with the official wm6 vodafone upgrade for my treo 750V.

I just downgraded mine. I'm going to wait until I get to work and retry the ROW on a real laptop instead of my VM here at home.
Didn't work.
I just tried it with my AT&T Treo 750 (WM5 14959.2.3.2) and I got the "Unsupported Device Update".

Verry, verry strange. It's the official upgrade comfirmed by one of the mod's by pocketinfo and ROW stands for Rest of World.
Treo 750 WM6 upgrade
Thanks for the links. I tried the Italian upgrade and worked well.
Only problem seems to be Voice Command. Apparently it is not part of this ROM upgrade. Any idea why? Any possibility to install it afterward? Is not supported at all by the ROW upgrade?
Any advise is greatly appreciated

Problem to upgrade
I enter my serial number but the firewall of my bank rejected the download.
Unfortunately servers from palm registered my device and re-download seem to be impossible...
Does the direct link avoid this problem?
if not how to upgrade mine (my version is : TREO750-1.16-RWF)
Does the upgrade work on Vista ???
regards
It definetly works on Vista! Infact when I tried to upgrade my 750 1.15VFE on XP it gave me a script error and wouldn't run at all. I tried it on my laptop that was running Vista and bango it start the upgrade process.
I tried the latest ROW English update and got "Unsupported Device Update" also.
I followed the instructions here "HOW TO UPGRADE TO WM6"
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_WM6
Phone is running WM6 with no issues. My device still says i am running V 1.16-VFE as others have already mentioned,

The 1.16 change to 2.23 only takes place at the end of the upgrade cycle. After the first reboot, the upgrader explicitly states to press continue *only after* having recalibrated and setup activesync (guest mode is enough). That's when the last part of the upgrade kicks in.
It may be that in Vista this last part of the upgrade does nto take place.

Palm support has explained the at&t delay by saying 7 ways upside and down, that when the upgrade is applied that it absolutely cannot be rolled back. Since those doing the cheeimg method have been successful at doing that and a radio upgrade for hermes radio i think i heard or something cannot be rolled back, maybe thats what they mean. If you do the full install it does one of these updates that locks it. But I'm just guesing

ok that last tip worked a treat! i love this forum!

I've completed the tutorial for unlock & debrand from here:
Thread 511763 (for some reason I'm not allowed to put a link here, sorry)
And I've flashed WM6.1 from SD card.
However, when I go to turn the phone on or off, I still get the "Vodafone" Logo splash screen. Also, the VBE Email link is still there, and the Business theme.
The unlock must have gone ok, because I'm using an O2 sim...
Any ideas how to rid myself of the vodafone 'ware? I tried a hard reset after flashing, but it's not done any good.
Thanks!
Hmm, have you tried flashing a different, non-Vodafone Palm ROM instead, like say an AT&T ROM? If it still has the Vodafone logo during Phone On/Off then that's the weirdest case of Carrier embedded Software that I've heard of o_o
By the way, if you have a Vodafone branded Treo like I have, it helps to flash a different Palm ROM onto it. For some reason, Vodafone Treo's have a lot more than 1 folder in their Ext ROM.
I thought the 6.1 ROM I used was unbranded... Or do you mean the radio?

The thing about Treo750 ROMs, they work like this:
Official Palm Treo 750 ROMs contain BOOTLOADER, SPLASH, GSM, EXT, and OS areas. Aside from the first two, "GSM" contains the radio only, "EXT" contains carrier data and program installs (for example the VBE email setup), and OS contains the actual WM6.x.
Custom Treo OS ROMs contain no EXT ROM whatsoever (except for Official Palm ROMs), and depending on the type of WM6.1 you flashed, it will pull information from EXT ROM. That means unless you delete data in the EXT ROM, the OS will continue to pull the CAPpackage and CAP data from there and stick it into the WINDOWS folder.
The thing I mentioned about Vodafone 750v Treo's, is that multiple folder Partition's in EXT (at least in my 750v). The way I cleared that guaranteed was to flash a different carrier's ROM that contained only 1 Partition folder in EXT rom, delete that, then flash WM6.1 over it. Worked every time for me.
That's done it, thanks!
I used 7zip to extract the nbh from the official palm WM6 updater and flashed it via SD. When it had finished all the branding was gone!
