Hey guys, I was looking for some sort of tutorial for something.
I was trying to find something that explains how to go from the a Branded AT&T Treo 750 with AT&T Windows Mobile 5 (version 1.13) to the Unbranded Windows Mobile 6.
Does anyone know how to do this or know somewhere which explains it?
It's my brothers phone, I have an AT&T Tilt, so I'm not too experienced with the Palm stuff.
He said that when he tried to run the exe file for an unbranded update it gave him some sort of error.
Anyway, how do I go about switching from Branded to Unbranded WM6?
And what features does which update have? Like which one is the best?
I appreciate any help guys.
Thanks.
Try searching a little before asking. There are thousands of posts to look through, the answer is probably already there..............
Why do you want an unbranded version? I recommend using the official ATT version and then customize the CapPackage.PXP to desired taste. At the end of the day the WM6 is WM6 is WM6 (per se).
And yes, you will need to do some digging - you'll learn much more about your device and how it works (the point of this forum). You'll note in your search that a lot of trial and error and collaboration goes into figuring things out. Once you have done your research, have attempted the upgrade and run into trouble or have a specific question (as opposed to a request for upgrade 101), we're here to help
Cheers!

I'm well aware of that, but the purpose of my post was to see if someone could point me in the right direction.
I've found multiple install files to download but haven't found instructions nor if they're the right install files.
Please keep in mind I've been looking for this for a few weeks now.
Anyway, anyone know anything about this?
Edit: Heh, I just posted right after you without seeing your post.
Anyway, my brother said he wanted the unbranded version for the tethering option or something. He said that the ATT version wasn't tethering properly.
I have the official ATT version with no problems via usb or bluetooth. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work go for the generic version (see sticky in this forum).
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361518
I answered this, it's the third post. This method will work with any Treo 750 (Cingular, AT&T, etc.). Since then I have upgraded to 2.27 and it is working fine.

hi i would like u guys to put some links for me..
latest upgraded rom,radio for blue angel....
latest ware that works best..
i just got my blue angel unit.. tnx guys!!!
Suggest to start digging through this forum, there are numerous threads that will answer your question.
Also have a look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ to learn more about your device and how to upgrade, unlock, etc.
I have to admit - I have trawled the forum and the wiki many times but am still unclear as to the 'EXACT' steps I should follow to upgrade my O2 (now unlocked to Vodafone) XDA2s to the latest radio stack. It would be great if one of the more experienced members did a step by step for us less experienced...??

Have you read the thread on the radio stack 1.08.00? Should be clear and simple no?
If you have specific questions, then ask them in that thread...people are really good here with helping you. But to answer the very first question in this thread is impossible...we need to know what the current config is, what the provider is, language, ROM versions, etc.
It looked clear and simple but I got hung up on the 'make sure you change the country code/operator' bit. Can't afford to muck my phone up so thought I'd wait and see how others did it. Will have another look mid-week once I am back home
Cheers - R
Please can someone help us unknowlegeble people create something like that for us (romkitchen for windows mobile 5.0)
Thank you.
do your own research
try doing some research instead. I bought my first windows smart phone one week ago, researched the ROM upgrades and methods at this forum and others. I was able to unlock my phone, safely backup my stock ROM, and flash a much improved radio and firmware package without any trouble thanks to the excellent resources available.
If you want someone to do it for you or hold your hand, you have no business hacking your phone anyway. Leave it to those who can research for themselves.
......hes kinda got a point there the, wiki should be your 1st stop not the forum

Thank you to everyon for your help. Yes the wiki should be the first stop. But have you visited the wiki lately? it really dosent help out that much, cause it dosent have that much information in the first place.
If you Look at the main forum, i have already complained about that .
as for the link to the romkitchen for the wizard, i will just wait till someone tests it out.
Ok so I got an o2 xda and I have managed to unlock the phone so I can put my t-mobile sim in.
This xda has never had a firmware upgrade nor do I know about such stuff.
Soooooo, what firmware could I install and how do I do it.
As said total newbie but please help where you can, we where all newbie's once
Numbers that flash up on boot up are....
R 1.10.00
1327.10
1.60.00 wwe
Does this tell you the current firm ware ?
We are once newbie.. but we once do research and learn ourself and not sit and wait. Go read and whever you do not understand, just ask instead of for everything to be fed to you
First try reading clicking on the top left wiki
PMSL, oh thanks, whats a winkie.
So I should just bundle into it flash the wrong firmware then post about how my xda won't go past the boot screen, then you can all sit on your selfrightous pulpit and say you should of asked ?
Well, take a look around this site and find some of the threads from people who had no idea what they were doing but didn't let that stop them. They're not real hard to find these days. It will probably be a simple process, but it may not be. When you're flashing the phone and your PC crashes, you yank the cable out, the battery dies, power goes out, the phone falls off the table, you spill water on it and everything else that I've seen happen, what are you going to do? All the answers are here and they're not hard to find and it's REAL HANDY to know the answers, or at least know where to find them, BEFORE you go off half-cocked knowing just enough to be dangerous. So rather than frying your phone and then coming back here to ***** about it, go read through the threads on flashing, read about what has gone wrong and what people have done about it. People that are a lot better at this than you and me. And this is assuming you even NEED a different ROM. I've tried lots and I'm perfectly happy with the stock T-Mobile 2.26 system. Custom ROMs have all kinds of problems not to mention your warrantee ends the moment you start that flash process and you're not going to find many people willing to help you turn your expensive toy into a smoking paperweight.

Haha.. nice to have you joker around once a while.
If you were to be in the position to bundle in a wrong ROM, I wouldn't recommend you to even flash your ROM, even if step by step instructions are given. When you have confident enough to do your research and ask 'specific' question (of which you can do before you get yourself into troubles). Just enjoy your phone as it is.
Read here for inspiration for step by step instruction.
Why thankyou kind sir, LOL
Well, I'm actually ROTFL and not LOL at this!
(But I'm easily amused!)
Thanks!
I'm just at Heh level, personally. It's amusing but this trend of people with too much money bricking their phones is getting kind of old. See "[Release 1.0 RC1] AKU 3.2 ROM" for the latest blind rush to nowhere. *shrug*....it's not my $400.
Wow what activity we have, ok fook the phone lets just take the p!ss lol.
All it was was my phone was on o2 network but I'm with t-mobile.
OK here's a question, can I flash the t-mobile firmware onto my o2 phoone and get a working result ?

Yes. Just make sure you get the right Wizard ROM from T-Mobile (e.g. not Charmer, not Universal, etc).
Having trouble downloading the xda tool from the ftp Any other source ?
The t-mobile rom, is it uk friendly as I have read a lot about the us version me thinks.
Which 'tool' are you refering to? Seems alright with me. The xda ftp sites may go down once a while. You may want to retry later.
I'm not sure whats with US ROM. I think the base ROM should be the same for both country, only the Ext ROM is different with different settings for both country. You may install whatever goodies you get from US ROM later.
Anyway, just to make the point clear, why do you want to use the T-mobile ROM?
What is disscus about this thread..?
Xda II (Himalaya) or Xda Mini Pro/S (Wizard)...?
this ROM indicated O2 Xda II (Himalaya)...

I belive mine to be the XDA II (Himalaya) (o2 version yeah ?)
I am having problems setting up wap ect and thought that maybe a rom upgrade would not only get rid of the o2 software completly but also have the advange of being t-mobile based from then on as that is the sim i am using.
The tool I was trying to download was to upload/download rom from windows base I think, LOL
I am having real issues using the search tool on the forums it will not seem to work, so please excuess me as I have tried to look before asking this question.
Is there a working WM6 for the XDA mini S, I have tried a few but they say invalid image.
Try downloading the file from this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116
It contains an italian version of the updater program which is hacked to allow any image to go onto your XDA. Then once extracted you move the nk.nbf file of WM6 to that folder so the italian updater is used to blast the WM6 rom onto your device.
Bit of searching for Error 300 invalid update tool would have found the same information for you, thats how i figured it out. Im running PDAVeit v3 on mine for a week or so now and its running really well.
Also another wee tip, the search is a bit keek on here, so use google
Example:
update tool error site:xda-developers.com
Thanks, I am not new here , I read the forums a lot. and do use other forums often. I know it annoys people when "newbie" people ask questions without looking. I was certain the answer was on here and spent an hour last night looking, it was just using the search tool on this site kept telling me there were no matches, I tried
XDA
wm6 xda mini s
etc. I tried a lot, but anyway thanks for the tip on google to search the site.
xda mini s ---> IS the HTC Wizard only for O2...
Yeah I understand it is just a wizard, but from O2 hence me putting my question on this section of the forum.
I have done as suggested and have tried the hacked loader and this has not worked. I keep getting the error saying Error 300.

WM6 doest care if it was from O2 just use one of the available Wizard ROM's ( orwells or pdaviet) and install it to your phone (of course after unlocking it!!!!)
HTC Touch Pro2 ROM Upgrade (EU)
An updated ROM is now available for HTC Touch Pro2 users to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience.
Improved Functions and Fixes:
* The Financial Providers Icon (Yahoo!) was placed in the Stock Tab in TouchFLO to clearly indicate where the data originated.
* The phone now shows the actual amount of RAM (288MB) instead of the amount used in previous models (256MB).
Download
Thank you for the information.
Actually allowing me to download it.
Probably won't flash it for a while.
Everything I normally use, works just fine.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If you are having problems downloading it, get it here.

Downoaded it. Loaded it onto my TP2. Wished I hadn't. Performance is now dreadful!
Phone sticks in the call screen, and I've lost my licenced version of CoPilot.
I have all the ROMs except the Portuguese one (which I dont have a valid S/N for) at http://xda.caspersworld.co.uk
EDIT: Now have the Portuguese ROM as well

Thank you for the heads up. I was just about to download it when I read your comment.
My Rhoduim works great with the stock rom it came with. (1.19.401.0) So like the guy said in another thread here in the Rhoduim section "If it ain't broke it don't need to be fixed".
Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to some custom roms.

I've downloaded it. Runs smooth, no problems. I updated my copilot last week with the one in the htc site. It wouldn't allow me to use my licence on it. Contacted copilot, they replied straight away with
Please proceed with the following instructions to allow you to activate successfully on the Touch Diamond 2 / Touch Pro 2.
1) Hard reset your device (as HTC stop CoPilot from being removed from the device once installed)
2) Download the latest installer from http://support-downloads.alk.com/copilot7-cabs/Touch-Diamond-Pro-2-Non-RPS-CAB.zip
3) Delete \Storage Card\CoPilot\Save
4) Unzip the above ZIP and it should contain a copilot.wm6ppc.cab
5) Download the map from our portal www.copilotlive.com/htc
6) Unzip the file and copy the folder CoPilot into your Storage Card
7) Install this on your device (navigate and tap it using File Explorer)

13) CoPilot should now activate successfully
I tried it using automatic activation and it worked.
After updating to this new rom, copilot remained in my program directory and was still activated. Not sure how they managed to do that.
Hope that helps
what has changed? My rom has version 1.14.161.5 on it. It works like a dream after lots of tweaks and fiddles have been applied but I always want the the latest stuff. Does anyone know what has changed between mine and the new one?
I'm using a T-Mobile USA Touch Pro 2 and noticed that I'm running ROM 1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE with Radio 3.45.25.14.. If you guys need a rom dump of that, let me know, I'll see what I can do for ya'll
3g was gone
i am writing from Turkey and my carrier's name is turkcell... i installed that rom last night..it is bad for me, my carrier's 3g support was gone..the 3g icon doesnt appear anymore..what can i do ?
do you have 3G support with that radio?.

Yes, because it's an official TP2 for TMobile.
thanks for your response. I had some hope to be a radio based issue rather than the common hardware issue we've seen with all the generic devices. disregard my PMs though.
thanks again.
Q: can this be ported onto the US TP2?
CAN SOMEONE DUMP THE FILE HERE instead of going via HTC site
this cannot be port to youre device becouse there is NO hardspl.
you need that.. then you can flash roms other then youre languide (custom roms)
Hi all, newbie here.
I've got a UK vodafone Pro2 with ROM 1.14.161.5 (50207) WWE.
Tried updating the ROM but says my serial is not valid for this ROM!!!
I am also unable to update with the GPS hotfix as its not compatible ??
Is this due to the fact that its using Vodafones own ROM and therefore we arent allowed to reflash the ROM ?
I have emailed HTC but while waiting a reply was wondering if anyone here would help out.
Thanks!
Paul

did you get reply from HTC? I have the same issue with WWE version, and it's not branded.
Yeah i did, its due to the fact that its a custom Vodafone ROM. Therefore updating is not possible via HTC, they advised me to contact vodafone themselves to see if they have released any updates themselves.
couldn't find anything useful at all on the vodafone website.
Looks like I'm stuck... for now.
Apparently its not possible to to re-flash the ROM yet? something to do with HardSPL.. I don't know, complete noob at this so far.
Hope you have better luck.
Should I load the ROM??
I dont care what memory it says it has - I dont care where the finance quotes come from (these are the 2 stated improvements) - surely this is not the only reason to upgrade a ROM???
