Here's a rapidshare link I made for the Rogers Treo 750 Extended_ROM in case anyone wants to use it. Just extract the contents of the zip to the root of the Extended_ROM and you're golden.

Hope this is helpful to someone.
Any chance of providing me step by step instructions?
Thanks in advance
As well, anyone know if the rogers rom is superior to the ROW 2.23? (Didn't do the AT&T ROM because it doesn't have Live installed; plus got lazy)

Thanks, a few questions thou.
1. What version of the Treo 750 firmware do you have?
2. Does name display work on incoming calls?
As I have an AT&T branded Treo 750 and name display only shows up in the call log, not on incoming calls.
Thanks
Sorry for the delay in response, my computer crashed, and I forgot to check on here.
I'm not sure what version this is. All I know is that I took it from my Rogers branded Treo before I sold it. AFAIK, there is only one version of firmware available for Rogers.
As far as name display goes, it supposedly doesn't work, but try it and see. I never used my 750, just sold it. I prefer my TyTN.

I'm new round here, but just received a T Mobile update. The file is MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe I've put it in the root of the ftp server, since wasn't allowed to put it in a more appropriate place. Hope that's OK.
BTW it does seem to have improved my audio quality, which was the reason I asked for it. It didn't come with release notes, so I don't know what else is included.
Strangely, although the updater worked, and as I say it has fixed my problem, when I look at device info it still shows ExtROM 1.06.117 WWE.
What have I misunderstood?
I think this is only an update to give Blackberry access.
Okay guys,
So you know the next question... can anybody extract the blackberry app so I can try it on my XDAiis as the other ones don't generate a PIN!
yes please, same for me. I would love to have the UK blackberry application.
thanks in advance for anybody who can remove the BB application out of this ROM update.

T-Mobile UK Official Rom Update
I have just received this update as well.
Can one of the technical wizards on the site (such as MDAIII user) have a look at what is in the extended ROM, as well as Blackberry.
T-Mobile say that they have included a number of other patches for bluetooth etc. Could someone list exactly what has been changed over the base ROM.
After buying my device nearly 6 months ago and waiting this long whilst all my O2 and Imate cousins have had lots of upgrades to the radio and base rom, I am deeply unimpressed. :evil:
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
J
Same Here!
Hey all,
Well Jason, I feel exactly the same way. :roll: Been long waiting any updates and hopefully this update solves some of the following problems. Just doing a Full Backup, before update is applied! I will reply when installed with any updates to software revisions for bluetooth/rom/extended rom/etc.
*Such as Bluetooth dropping its connection from Weak to Good continuously when connected to me Jabra BT200.
*Another problem is that when firstly I soft reset the device it hangs whilst booting on the second T-Mobile screen, and have to soft reset the device 2/3 times rapidly before it boots properly. This can be a problem if its hung and you urgently need to make a phone call.
Anyone else having these problems?
Apart from that everything else seems to be in working order.

I downloaded the upgrade and ran it agaist the new tool.
This seems to be a 3 version of the encription as the tool will not open the file.
unless somebody posts the cabs ( In a subdir of the root of the ftp site) I can't look at them.
As per my above post shows I was just about to update my phone but no-one said it would lock my networks!.....I just didn't think of that!
Well I've just installed it and it has Locked the networks. It was unlocked to all networks, and not anymore.
Looks like I'll have to pay again to unlock it! Unless someone can help me unlock my MDA III!?!?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rom Version: 1.06.00 ENG (No change)
Rom Date: 08/05/04 (No change)
Radio Version: 1.00.00 (No change)
Protocol Version: 1337.30 (No change)
EXTROM Version: 1.06.160 ENG (Wasn't displayed before update on phone)
Bluetooth: Build 3500 (Was Build 1900)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So overall probably just a Bluetooth Update/Blackberry support and Video MMS. Not a great update, probably not worth the update considering I can only use my T-Mobile Sim for now!!!
Well MDAIIIUser what cabs do ya need? I'll try!.....Copy them of my Phone or PC??....& need to know where to find them??
Sunny D
Did I understand what you wrote
you had a phone that was sim locked
you had it unlocked so that you can use any sim
you ran the above upgrade on your unlocked device
now you have a locked device and you can't use any sim that you like but have to use a t.mobile sim
Well that is what I understood
As for the cabs
They are in the extnded_rom folder that is hidden
you need to download the tool, check wiki for the link (if its still around)
Zip the file, and uploaded it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Tools
ta
If you paid T-Mobile to unlock your MDA they should unlock it again for you without charge.
Anyone managed to get the Blackberry CAB out yet?
MDA III UK Upgrade Didn't relock my phone
I have tested out my phone after the upgrade and I am pleased to advise that it is still totally unlocked.
T-Mobile unlocked the original ROM for me for the £15 charge and the phone has stayed unlocked even after the upgrade (just as well!).
SunnyD - thank you for your work in helping to analyse what is new in the extended ROM.
Hi guys. Never posted before but been around.
Was once able to access the ftp but lately I get a permission denied message. Anyone got any advice on how to overcome this?
Found the ext rom 1.06.160 ENG on ftp site and linked it to wiki, Thanks sunnyd24.
Will cook it and post in wiki as well as update this thread.
The file you are looking for is:
htc_pocketpc_tmo_england_2.0.0.25-18.cab
The rest of the rom seems the same (looked at it for 30 secs)
Managed to access the ftp in the end. Was being stupid really... :?
Posted this ship.exe in wiki

Files to Examine......or Use!!
Hello all,
Not a problem Jason, we are all here to help each other. Well I just tried another sim (old O2 & Orange) after the success you had, & guess what It is unlocked!!!!
I've got a problem with a new O2 sim i'm using. Its new & was working in the phone before the update and kept sim card whilst the update. And now cannot use that sim in the phone for some reason!
Its wierd how an old O2 sim works fine but the new one has problems.
:?: Anyone got any ideas??
Well as for helping everyone with version info for MDAIIIUser I am going to upload the new extended rom files to the FTP Site (and attatched below as a Rar). Hope it helps everyone!
Well all for now,
Regards,
Sunny D

Both the ship and exteneded rom for the 1.06.160 have been posted in wiki (as per the posts that i wrote before) Think the only file you need to attach is the one for BB (as ...)
After changing my Dutch Vario to UK everything is working ok except the today plugin for T-Mobile. It looks as the shortcut for the T-Mobile option (The one that's warning your going online) is just calling the exe BrandedBrowser. After that nothing happens. Modifying the HTCtodayscreen.dll to change the shortcut also doesn't work. So I hope someone can post the original T-Mobile UK BrandedBrowser.exe.
Nico
here ya go tmobile uk brandedbrowser
hi, I also want to change my dutch version vario to english, is everything ok when i change it? thanks
thanks jimmy_boy for the UK BrandedBrowser.exe
I will giveit a try and see if I can change the default homepage from T-Mobile UK into the Dutch T-Mobile startpage.
Upgrading the Vario from Dutch to English was simple, just followed the instructions to CID unlock the device and then start the UK exe file. Toke about 20 minutes. I have the feeling that the English rom is a little bit faster. It now show 1.6.2.4 WWE instead of 1.6.2.2 NLD
Also patched the WLAN to connect at 54Mbps. So, I'm very happy with my Vario.

No probs nicodekker im pleased to help the HTC wizard community as much i can
Missing files
Hi.
I copied the file to my \windows directory and launched the file (in a non-T-mobile ROM) and I get the popup box that I am about to go online. I click OK and the box disappears but nothing happens. Do I also need to install the web'n'walk.cab and/or are there required registry entries?
Yes, I know have a TyTN and 8525 (I do have the T-mobile ROM for that phone but the result is the same). Is there something that is launching that T-mobile US does not recognize?

Appreciate that this is an old thread but in order to use the t-mobile brandedbrowser you need to add (or modify) 2 registry entries:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PIEPlug]
"WebStub"=dword:00000000
"home"="http://www.t-mobile-favourites.co.uk"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PIEBrowser]
"Path"="\Windows\BrandedBrowser.exe"
(change the UK www address to your own countries web address)
Working OK on my HTC Touch Dual.

I have a T-mobile MDA, USA version. I bought it new, unlocked. I put my Suncom SIM card in it and it works fine.
The MDA ROM version is now 1.8.10.1 WWE
I see T-mobile USA has a ROM 2.26.10.2 on their web site for download.
If I download and install this ROM, will my phone be locked to T-mobile?
Also, what is best way to back up everything such as Contacts, in order to be able to put it back after the upgrade?
Is there a way to actually back up the original ROM and reinstall it if the upgrade goes badly?
Update: Silly me, I now see that T-mobile requires a T-mobile phone number in order to download the ROM. So much for that.
Update 2: Found the ftp area here. Got the rom. Also found files that seem to answer my question about backing up the rom.
Thanks,
RikR
In case another noobie like me stumbles on this, I installed the rom, no problems.
I had backed up my pim file, so putting my contacts back in was no problem.
holy s#i...
I did not think about that!!! I was updating the MDA when I read your post: my heart jumped and blod pressure when thru the roof!!! thank you!!
Hi,
Is it possible for me take ATT Rom and to make a CHEEIMG.nbh totaly debranded?
I mean debrand it while it's still CHEEIMG.nbh file, not in Treo itself, so I could install it fast in other Treo devices.
How could I do this?
Thank you very much

Just use the "Vodafone" ROM - it's about as de-branded as you can get. It's running just peachy on my ATT 750. The only thing it doesn't have is the applet to enable/disable the ATT proxy easily...but that can be accomplished with a registry edit.
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 ....................
wuffi said:
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.
upgrade succeeded
