I've bought locked version of cingular SX66 some how managed to unlock the set, but I'm affraid of trying upgrade my SX66, will it be safe to upgrade after unlock? or it'll lock the set again... I've downloaded the file from siemens' site but never tried?
I have a Cingular SX66. I unlocked the phone prior to upgrading to Win 2k5. Once you upgrade, you would need to unlock your phone again with the win 2k5 unlock took found in the Wiki.
As for upgrading, I have upgraded following the Wiki to the Himalaya ROM without any problems. There are some settings you will need to change when flashing your files.
XGULA01 is the carrier code I think. You need to double check that in the forums as well. The ROM is very stable but may give you delays like when you press the Start key. Other then that, there has been no problems after upgrading.
I too have a Cingular (AT&T version). I have not unlocked my phone (not sure it ever was, but I currently don't care) and have tried both the Himalaya and Wizard versions.
I found the Wizard version to be more stable and with a few less installation headaches. You do need to create a EXTROM directory on a SD card before you upgrade, but the results are worth it.
Siemens SX66 locked??
Cingular sells these unlocked. I bought mine at a Cingular Corporate store not a reseller and it was not locked. The one my roomate bought at a different Corp store was also unlocked. We have both upgraded to the last ROM Siemens had before they removed this device from their site without issue....
I didn't want to try the Wizard version due to its lack of resolutions with MS voice command.
Can you list your updates and your programs that you got to work?

I ran with the Wizard ROM for a while, but went to the Himalaya and believe it is much better. I posted a couple of my reasons in the BA Wizard ROM thread. One of them was how smooth Voice Command ran with the Himalaya ROM. There seemed to be a delay with everything using the Wizard ROM. There's a new Wizard ROM out there that I hope Mamaich can release for us to test. Maybe it will be better.
Thank u so much guys.. I'm noob and want to ask a stupid question: The WM2003 upgrade that siemens offer on their web site is either Himalaya OR Wizard? and what r the main differences between these two? do u guys recommend to upgrade to WM2005? any link for??

Strange. Are you trying to update you're 750 or 750V? Because this is the unbranded update voor the Treo 750.
See also this site: http://www.pocketinfo.nl/nieuws/nie...om-update-beschikbaar-voor-palm-treo-750.html
i have a telstra 750 which has been updated to wm6 and had the ext rom deleted and then rebooted/cleared...so as far as i am aware, its a plan 750.

Won't work on my unlocked Cingular 750 either.

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.
i wonder if those of us using the cheeimg method end missing some features that do not get installed?!?!?

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
I am using the Palm Treo750 Cingular and got "Unsupported Device Update" message when I tried to upgrade the latest ROW English.
How can I do to upgrade? Thanks

I'm assuming you'd have to do the bootloader method described here. Otherwise you have to wait for the at&t rom to be released.
calico said:
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

This method also works, maybe you also have to change the version range listed.
good luck
ok that last tip worked a treat! i love this forum!
thanks to all who support it and give information!
did the instructions above andf all good, although i also change the version range low to '115' just incase...
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.
http://rapidshare.com/files/77578069/Extended_ROM.zip.html
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 have an SIM unlocked G3 T-mobile MDA that I'd like to run Blackberry connect on (I have downloaded ver 4).
My first attempt at loaded BB connect v4 locked-up WM5, so obviously I'm missng some files / steps.
I'm going to run BBES for my corporate email.
thanks in Advance,
Paul
OK, I am sure this question has been asked a bunch of times but I want to make sure I get the most recent answer.
I just purchased an unlocked Treo 750 off Ebay with the 5.0 OS on it. Obviously I want to upgrade the system to 6.0 or 6.1 but which one do I want and where can I find the download since it's not available on Palm's website anymore???
I have an XP Operating System and Microsoft 2007 on the computer that I will be syncing it to and I am under the impression that 6.1 (which I think is the most recent upgrade) only works with Vista.
My carrier is AT&T
Please help. I'd like to get this sorted so i have everything ready to go when I receive my new Treo next week. I currently have a Centro and am very excited about upgrading to the 750.
I am sure the answer is somewhere here but I can't seem to find it!
Thanks so much!!!
go here for the @TT wm6 official update: HERE WMSix Off + ActiveSync
Now depending if you have a minisd or not, download the appropriate version you need. If you choose the desktop update (USB SYNC cable needed), make sure to install activesync first.
If you have a minisd, just save the CHEEIMG.nbh to the root of the memory stick, and enter bootloader by holding the media button and hitting reset.
After updating to WM6, follow the UNBranding and UNlocking post to update to 6.1
but can I use this download if my phone is NOT AT&T? My carrier is AT&T but I don't know if it's an actual AT&T phone - I jusr know that it's unlocked.
Yes, you should be able to use it.
WM6.1 does not require Vista. Don't know where you got that from. In fact, you will probably be upgrading to 6.1 using an SD card in the Treo, and not your PC.
In case you don't already know this, there is not an official update for 6.1 on the Treo, you will be using a hacked ROM if you decide to go with 6.1.
