Ok I've been doing searching on the forum and find there are quite a few ROMs to update the WM OS. I want to upgrade from WM5 to WM6. I have a Treo 750 cingular phone which is unlocked. I'm currently using Tmobile on it. What is the latest but stable ROM that I can use for WM6? I am unsure as to which to go with. I am also in the US if that isn't apparent.
Thanks a lot!
AT&T provided a stable WM6 ROM a long time ago. If you want stable and don't want to mess around with cooked ROMs, that would be your best bet.
You can find it here (along with many others):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335402
It's the first one on the list.
Personally, I am using the cooked WM6.1 ROM (not the 'lite' version). It's pretty good in the stability department, but I find myself doing soft resets more often than on the AT&T WM6 ROM.
The links are dead to the generic rom on that link you provided. However, my phone is unlocked. If I upgrade using ATT stable release from ATT themselves will I have to unlock the phone again?

Thanx for the link, but when I try the PC upgrade, even though I am plugged into my 750 via USB, a error message says that I am not connected. I tried two good cables, and the same message is displayed. Any ideas?
hello, do you know how well this runs on the treo? i've updated my bj2 to wm6.1 and it ran kinda laggy
well... after upgrading to wm6 my initial thoughts are that its not tooo shabby at all. thanks for the link dood.

Hey All-
I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. I am having problems updating to any of the WM6 ROMs out there (up here). One of a few things is happening:
1) Either RUU crashes just after it successfully sends my PDA in to bootloader mode, or
2) RUU is able to stay up, but for some reason, does not like the update file:
I either get an error: "This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get a newer NBF file.", or
it suggests the nbf file is "corrupted", I think indicating the RUU util I am running is out of synch with what the PDA is expecting.
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA (Vario?) and Vista.
I've tried all of the solutions I have been able to find:
* changing the driver to HTC USB Sync so that it can "reconnect" once in bootloader
* various flavors of the update utility to get around the crash, which do not let me upgrade to the ROM of choice!
* hard reset of the device
* I even tried pulling down one of the ROM upgrades from the T-Mobile dowloads site and dropping that in with a WM6 ROM nbf file. That was a huge flop.
I know people have done this! I've seen it over and over again. So what in the world stupid thing am I doing to not make this work?
Thanks.

RUU doesnt work on Vista. Use shelltool.
Thanks for the advice. I'm sure it was good advice, but I am three hours in to it running now, and I don't have a good feeling about it. I think it says it would take at least 15 minutes. Not 180! Ugh, now I wonder what I should do?

How do you do that? Thank you because when i try to downgrade my ROM or w/e so that i can unlock it when i gots to bootloader the fred green blue thingy it doesnt reconnect to active sync and maybe thats my probelm...=[
chaos, just look around for the RUU with Vista instructions- they are everywhere!
hey mate,
just follow this instructions http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977 to falsh every official ROM under MS Vista. Surely, when it comes to WM6 you gotta use the Shelltool.
regards

Answer for Vista
My question is why don't people just dual boot vista with xp or 2000/etc...that would solve a lot of issues about the problems with vista.. just boot to xp..
I figure if you have the $Funds$ to spend on a $250+ phone you could shell out $50 for a 150gb 16mb cache HDD for your pc and dual/tri/quad/etc... sheeet son i've been doing this for years with linux/m$/mac.
Gotta face it, some software just runs better on one OS over another. peace out.

I tried it, took like 6 minutes then it was completed, knowingly it wasnt flashed right, but did the hard reset on the phone and was stuck at the SPL screen, so just loaded up VMWare to reflash.
It worked for me...
I flashed one of the WM6 ROMs using my Vista Ultimate computer. One of the main parts in making the thing work is remembering to put your computer in bootloader before doing it. On post #7 in the MoDaCo thread, it says this.
Once more, here is the link: http://www.modaco.com/RUU-on-Vista-It-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide-t252977.html
so your saying witht hat tut you flash a custom rom??
Yes
Yes I was able to. I don't remember which, but I think i was Core 2.0
Yeah, I was able to use shelltool to make this happen. Thanks for the feedback, folks. Only hang up was that it had appeared to have seized up (was seemingly stuck before the "End" portion). I waited for like 3 hours before I finally threw up my hands and hard reset the unit. Low and behold my wizard booted up in to the new ROM and I have been good to do since!
Hello all,
First of all I am new to the forum and a beginner with regards to pda phones and upgrading software etc.. I am switching from the blackjack phone to a treo 750 which I recieved today. I have read alot of good things about WM6 ( the unofficial version), which I downloaded and saved on my computer. I plan on giving it a try, I believe the instructions are pretty straightforward on how to flash to WM6, now the question is if something goes wrong or for some strange reason I don't like WM6 and would like to wait for the official version, how do I flash back to WM5. Take it easy on me, I'm a newbie.
Thanks in advance.
I saw the answer posted somewhere in the main WM6 thread. You follow the same directions, but you need the WM5 rom. I'm pretty sure I saw someone post the download link for the WM5 rom.

Ware cen i get WM5 Rom Unlcocked and Unbranded ?
I am having a little trouble flashing back to WM5. I have downloaded the Cingular Rom and did what the instructions told me to do.
I loaded the CHeeDIAG (Misspelled?) file to SD Card and then press and hold the Button below the volume buttons then press the Reset Button, but this is where the problem starts. It should ask me to press the Power button to start, but nothing happens. All that happens is it shows a screen saying "Loading". I have waited for at least 30 minutes and nothing else happens. What I am doing wrong? Thanks for any advice.
Is there an AT&T version of the rom floating about? I have a 750 on trial and would love to try wm6 but would need to get it back to factory if I decide to return it.

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.

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

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

To Flash a ROM you'll most likley need Hard SPL
Follow the "Getting Started" Link in my Sig.
If you cannot get WM to boot, you'll need to re-flash your orginal carriers ROM.

HardSPL 3.29 is first (yes?) then will try Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2 which sounds good. one more thing, my phone is not locked so do i need to do the 'SIM and CID-Unlock'

That's right, flash the HardSPL 3.29 first (SIM unlock is optional, CID unlock isn't needed - Hard SPL takes care of that - but it comes as part of the SIM unlock) then flash a WM6.1 ROM.

Only if it's from the same region the RUU was intended for eg the European TyTN II's won't accept the latest Hong Kong WWE ROM by default because of this so as already suggested hardSPL works around this. My WM 6.0 UK original TyTN II upgraded to WM 6.1 OK but that was using the HTC UK provided ROM update. That updated everything required including the SPL and Radio to the required HTC versions. I'm back on the original WM 6.0 version though due to reliability issues with 6.1 and poor GPS performance.
Hi,
I got given a couple of Treo 750 phones. Both on the Optus Australian Network so I scratched around for days and found the upgrade software. Shows update 2.27
1st one went perfect.
2nd one on same computer got through copying files and executing update and stalled at the start of completing update.
I got the Windows mobile screen show and it just was not loading for ages. Previous one loaded and then asked for input of Date, touch screen settings etc.
The installer can be re run but says no USB connection at the moment.
I have done a hard reset and get the palm display then locks on the Windows Mobile screen.
I saw procedures to use the Mini SD card but the cards I have won't work in any treo, they are not SDHC type but standard 2G ones.
I next found the recovery tool but holding the left lower button and then hitting reset did not work but does work on my good phone where it shows the coloured bars and SPL....
The left button is a bit dodgy so I suspect it may be faulty. Is there anything else I can try?
EDIT: Ok I pulled apart the phone, looks like it had a hard life as broken case around two screws and they would not unscrew easily. Found the tiny button had dry solder joints. Fixed that up and was able to recover using the reset proceedure.
Phone now working.
could you explain in more detail what you did. thanks man

What would you like to know?
Once I physicaly repaired the phone as indicated in the edit I was able to hold the left hand button (which was faulty) and the reset at the same time that allowed me to get into the SPL mode and recover the phone.
I understand it very little and most posts on these forums are over my head.
I would like windows 6.1 but there is so much information that seems to conflict that I don't know I am game since it is now working on an official 6.0 Optus version.
I am happy to help but if you can maybe tell me where you are at the moment and what you want to acheive and what you have tried I hope I can fill in the gaps for you.
because im new to this to and i got stuck in the windows screen also. so i would like to know what to download and where from and step by step if you could please.
thanks man

Ok to start with what country are you in and what telco were you with eg Vodafone etc as you will need that as a start.
USA and im with AT&A
Try the method describe in the thread below - Mine work
Hi, you might want to try this method
Follow it one by one and do not skip a step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460783
I just did mine last Saturday (it was a Vodafone phone)
AT&T should be easier since the Windows 6 ROM is easier to get
If you'd like to update to WM 6.1, you should upgrade first to WM 6
Something i read about the radio not working to full capacity if you upgrade straight to 6.1
As for the WM 6 ROM, i'm sure you can find it
Good luck
Hi All,
I have a Treo 750 and it WAS running WM 6.0 Professional (OFFICIAL) and I got it onto the phone and then tried to install WM 6.5 and then I downgraded to 5.0 and tried to update back to 6 and it bricked my treo, any of you wonderful xda ppl have any solution?
Also, I have tried installing the ROM again (via SD updater) and it looks like this:
SPLASH1 OK
BOOTLOAD OK
GSM OK
Micro P OK
EXTROM FAIL
OS
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
I cant install the windows installer one as WMDC 6.1 or ActiveSync 4.5 WILL NOT show the device up on the computer. I have Windows Vista Home Basic, and when I tried MTTY, the only ports I get are COM1, COM2, and COM3. I can't get the usb to show up. Even with MTTY 0.01 when I got the USB connection, it would not open. Is it Vista? Or am I not doing it right? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED TO GET MY POOR TREO BACK!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
~Mike

Is this universal (i.e. Hermes/BA/Trinity) or just for the Treo 750. I think what bricked it in the first place was installing a custom rom by veisen (WM 6.5)

That one thing didn't work. It keeps coming up ERROR 226: FLASH WRITE ERROR Anything else???
