I have a Palm Treo 750 bought from Vodafone UK some time ago. It says this on the "about" screen:
Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5
OS 5.1.195 (build 14995.2.6.3)
I've never done any unlock or upgrade to this phone, it's original from Vodafone UK. Now I'm moving to Brazil and I'd like to unlock it, so it works with the brazilian carrier.
I'd like to ask 2 specific questions:
What would be the steps to unlock this phone so it works with any carrier?
Also, is it possible to upgrade the Windows Mobile version of this phone? If yes, how to do this?
I apologize if this has already been answered, I tried to search for this information on the forums but there are so many terms and tutorials, and versions... that I felt lost
Thanks very much,

Forgive my general newbie ignorance, but this seems the best place around for knowledge on this stuff.
I have a Qtek-branded Wizard. I bought it SIM-free in the UK, and use it on the O2 network. I'd like to get the latest ROM update, as made available to O2 customers via its website for the XDA Mini S. However, because I don't have an O2-linked phone, the RUU software it provides doesn't work.
I've tried accessing the same stuff on the Qtek site, but it refuses to recognise my IMEI, so I can't register on the site.
So now I'm at a bit of a loss. If I knew what I was talking about I'm sure I could install ROMs from elsewhere - like right here - but I don't.
Anyone got some advice for me on this one? Any help would be rewarded with great and pleasurable things.
I have the 2.21.4.1 O2 upgrade file, PM me with your e-mail address and i will send it to you.
Actually, as I have a Qtek phone I'd rather get the latest Qtek upgrade. I've found a 2.17.7 RUU - is that the latest Qtek one you know?
Although, is there a possibility that installing that ROM would screw up my O2 service?
I have been using the vodafone 750v for a while the Version number is:
TREO750-1.16-VFE
1.12.0c.00
Two problems always happened:
1) The phone suddenly lost all the sound and the mp3 ringtone is terrible.
2) when you pick up the phone, there will be a delay of 3 second because you can hear or speak to the other side.
The first problem can be solve after a reboot but the second problem stay there.
I went to vodafone lately and check the firmware version number of the demo phone which say 1.22.xx.xx( I believe is 1.22.30.00 if I remember correctly)
I ask the service dept of vodafone and they told me that the one they are selling now is no longer 750v ...is 750. Then I ask them if they can provide the upgrade firmware for user to upgrade and they told me that I have to ask palm.
Anybody here is using the Treo 750 with the firmware version 1.22.xx.xx. Can you share the ROM here so we can try if the new ROM could fix the problem?
Thanks
You can download a firmware upgrade from the Vodafone website.
The guy in the store told you wrong unfortunately.

can you tell me where to download?
What about UNBRANDED ROM. It is possible to find it on the net?

I don't find any info regarding an update on the Vodaphone site .........
Odd, as there was an update on vodafone.nl a month or two back...
I assumed it would have been posted on the other vodafone sites as well.

Try that one already, it change the firmware from 1.12.0a.00 to 1.12.0c.00
This one doesn't do anything good to the phone.
And this update is English only, no use for those who have their Treos in
an other language.

Try the new WM6 for the unbranded ones, I have one if u need. The treo loses voice notifications because of the usage of driver by too many applications. You can install a patch for the At&T versions.
Tell me if you need that.

Vodafone P1615 (HTC TyTN II Kaiser)
I regards,
i'm Luke from Italy. I have a vodafone p1615 with wm6 rom 1.56.165. Exist upgrade for p1615 a no-brand? Exist tomtom 6 for p1615? Exist blackberry connect?
Is possible upgrade from Vodafone p1615 rom 1.56.165 to Rom NO-BRAND, Without software vodafone?
Tnks,
Luke.
why shouldn't all your question not be possible?
it's only a branded rom not a different OS.
TomTom6 works fine on my german p1615 and allother wm6 software should do too.
also you can put on another rom, i did not, cause there is no newer german rom, and i preferred to use my phone in my native language, but perhaps an italian roms is released ?! try to search the board here
bye andré
rom vodafone upgrade SO
I,
is possible upgrade with vodafone rom 1.56.165 to Schaps_WM6Pro_Kaiser_4.21_WWE_Full or later?
ciao Luca,
I'm going to receive the p1615, branded by vodafone like your phone. I'd like to use it with my italian sim, how did you manage to unlock it? is it possible to flash it and unlock it? I've already read tons of posts but I can't get the differences between the sim lock and the country lock, I mean, does vodafone uses a simlock on this device?
thanks in advance,
byee
no vodafon do not uses simlock, i got my p1615 from a contract of a friends company and put in my call-ya sim. it works without any problems.
perhaps there is a netlock, but i don't think so, cause vodafon is very open instead of t-mobile (putting sim and netlock)
bye andré
thanks mate, that is a good news
hope I'll get it soon...
bye
Perfect...
All ok. I upgrade the vodafone p1615 to new so wm6 and splashscreen no vodafone With sfotware includes: remote desktop, vpn, tomtom 6.030 and BBConnect for BES server email..
Goog work...
Hi guys!
Hope your Palms are ok
I have unlocked Treo 750v for UK Vodafone.
The current version of phone software is TREO750-1.12-VFU
I see there is an update from Palm that will make verison to 2.18 (I guess it is even update to WM6)
Main question - if I install this update, will it lock my phone again to Vodafone UL or not?
Do you have such experience or information? Thanks!
Is it really so complicated question or too stupid, guys? )
No. Any Rom upgrade craete SIM Lock .

No!......................
I read alot, but thought i'd post. I purchased a like new ATT Treo 750 (Locked) and was going to go somewhere and have it unlocked, I get on here and unlocked it following Summiter's steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335661 and then installed the WM6.1 (Rom is here: http://rs86.rapidshare.com/files/97839859/Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar) Standard rom using the KaiserCustomRUU.exe and man, it is awesome.
The Treo is up and running with WM6.1 on T-Mobile and everything works, even the data connection automatically is configured.... Phone is still branded ATT and still has the built-in crap for ATT .. haven't gone that far, but hey, it works great, a few extra icons, I can live with...
This site is great, and as from reading ALOT of posts, I must say if your looking to unlock or upgrade then do what most people say -- SEARCH & READ -- instead of waiting for someone to hold your hand ...
Any how, saved me $40 from unlocking so I have to donate to xda now
To all ... keep up the good work, especially the ones who take the time to write the step by steps (er..hrmm... cough .."Summiter"..cough) .. You ppl need to appreciate it! ..
Keep it up guys!!
You have 6.1 with AT&T stuff in it? I did not know there was a 6.1 with AT&T stuff in it, are you sure it's MW6.1?
yessir ...
software version treo750-2.25-att
firmware 1.16
win mobile pro 6.1
I didn't unbrand it or anything, i was jus trying to unlock it, and kept crashing at the 2nd step, so i said screw it and just poped in my tmo sim and it worked ... never flashed the radio since i had full bars (sacramento, ca) and them just flashed the 6.1 cooked rom on it afterwards.. and boom! it werks fine ...
but yea, it finally rebooted a 3rd time and proceeded to install the att junk...
ok, installed a unbranded WM6 rom over the 6.1 and no more ATT junk, then installed the WM6.1 rom again and now is clean 6.1 install ...
Ok, now I get it
HI, can you please expalin a little more how to do this.....is this KAISER a program??
I want to upgrade to 6.1 but I'm just afraid to damage my Treo 750.
Is there a step by step tutorial??
Thanks!
PS: I'm already downloading the ROM
I too have downloaded the rom and am ready for or looking for the instructions on reflashing my unlocked palm treo 750. Thanks
Euhm the Kaiser stands for the HTC Tytn 2, so you have tytn2 rom on your treo 750?

Hi, where did you find the unbranded 6.0 rom for your treo? I have the official 6.0 updated WM6.0 rom. I too use T-Mobile and would like to get the AT&T crap off my phone....Thanks for the help!
Do you need to unlock your locked phone to put on the att rom WM6.1 on an att branded phone? I have ATT service and wanted to try WM6.1. Currently i have WM6.
Thanks
Unlocker Application
Where is a link to download the unlocker application for the Treo 750? I did find the link to download the WM6.1 OS rar, but not the unlocker application.
