SOL to update from 5.2 to 6.0 on the 750? - Palm Treo 750 ROM Development

I want to upgrade to 6.0 on my unlocked 750 but can't find a link to the update that is valid or active. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? I would not be averse to using a cooked ROM, I've flashed my phones before. If my phone is already unlocked do I need to use a Hard SPL before flashing a ROM?
Or....Does anyone know where I could purchase a legal copy of the ROM for unlocked 750's from Palm, it doesn't appear on their site anymore. Thanks.

Unlocking
If you do a little search around here, you'll find a software called Lokiwiz, and all you need to do is follow the instructions and you can unlock your device. it's a good Idea to do a CID unlocking as well (with the same software) before you upgrade the ROM. Right now I've been using the Mr. Clean ROM for a couple of days, and it's working fine. I would recommend that one.
Hai Noroc!
If it's T-MO branded, you will definitely have to unlock it before using it back home in good old RO
like i said in a pm, i kind of know what do i have to do. my only worry now is the downgrade to a 1.xx rom.
With the mda still CID locked & sim locked i have to downgrade to a 1.xx rom in order to use the lokiwiz right?
So, to avoid any problems while doing this, which rom should i use for 1.xx version?

New phone, dumb questions

This is a dumb question I am sure...
I am getting a new phone from Cingular warranty since the touch screen stopped working on my current one. I am guessing I will get a new phone and swap in my SIM card. I am guessing they will send me a unit with 2.25 loaded on it.
I have been running summiters ROM (2.3) and really like it but I have a few questions...
1. Do I need to CID unlock the new phone or is this controlled by the SIM card? If I do, from what I have caught up with on the boards, I can no longer use Lokiwiz , so what do I do? I found a post from Faria http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
that talks about downgrading, unlocking and then upgrading again but it seems to have mixed results.
2. Assuming that I solve #1 are there any challengers to Summitters 2.3 with CF2 + multiinstaller for folks on Cingular? I don't see any up.
3. Possible most important... Do I need to reflash my old phone to what it was shipped with or the official 2.25 so I don't have problems with the return. I am doing this all via mail so I wouldn't think they would check, but figured someone here had done this before.
As far as number one is concerned, you do have to CID unlock your new phone. The CID information is on the phone not the SIM card. Also, I didn't have any trouble downgrading from 2.25 in order to follow the directions in the post that you linked there. I had to do it when I had my phone's mainboard replaced.
For question number two, summiters AKU 2.3 ROM still seems to be the latest ROM out there for us Cingular folks.
Lastly, for number three, it couldn't hurt to flash back to an official ROM. I didn't have any problems when I had a summiter ROM on my phone when I sent it in for service (the USB port was broken so I couldn't reflash), however it's better to be safe than sorry ^_^

Thanks for the reply... should get it tomorrow and hopefully all will go well.
seems like everything has been answered, but i do want to add to question #3... I would flash back to an official rom, techinically according to the warranty process any rom that is not an official rom does void the warranty. So i would flash it back to an original rom before sending back. Im not saying they check, but i would hate to send back my phone with an un-official rom and get stuck with a $400 bill for a phone thats not in my possesion anymore...

Ipl/spl: 1.08

I just got my T-Mobile MDA in the mail and searched the forums for my IPL/SPL with no such luck. I was looking at a Custom 2.26 ROM but it requires 2.xx to install.
Do I need to upgrade with another official ROM and then run this?
PS. I already CID Unlocked my phone with loki
Hmmm, searching google turned up this thread...

If you have any issues upgrading to this ROM I would advise downgrading to the origional T-Mobile 1.08 ROM first and then try installing this one again.

So the 1.08 is the original ROM?
Are these ROMs available for DL anywhere unofficially? I want to flash my device, but don't want to wait a week for a cheap mini-SD card to come in the mail... anybody have any suggestions? Is this ROM even worth backing up being as aged as it is?

Where to find the official ROMs?

Hi,
My pda is originally in dutch - TMobile MDA. I'm stuck with the bootloader since I had tried to update another rom. I was advised to flash again the original ROm. But I cant seem to find the original rom. And Im not really sure what my original rom is. How will I know that?
Hope anyone could help me out there.. Thanks.

HardSPL for Retail Unlocked Phones

Hi I couldnt find a definit answer but I have a unbranded unlocked retail phone. Do I need to do a HardSPL on it as ive only ever had branded phones before which I have had to run HardSPL on it first before flashing new roms.
Im hopeing i dont have to then i can easily put on the stock rom back on incase of warrenty issues.
If someone could clear that up for me it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Having an unbranded/unlocked phone will allow you to use any SIM card easily enough. But, if you want to flash a custom ROM on it, you will still need to install HardSPL on it.
For warranty purposes you can always reflash the stock SPL to relock it. All the information on this can be found in the HardSPL sticky here.
