Palm Treo 750 ROM updates

ROM Update
Generic ROW
Firmware: 1.54.0.00
CC-Cap: GEN-ENG-005
Carrier DB: 296
WM6 version: 5.2.1239 (Build 17746.0.2.4)

I had problems using updater, getting the Unsuported Device error. It maybe because eventhough I have a Treo750-1.15-ROW device, I bootloaded WM6, the 3AU version with the Vodafone CapPackage.
So I bootloaded this Generic ROM and I noticed the following:

- the operator logo (when turning the radio on and off) disappeared! WOOHOO! Not that I minded the Vodafone logo since I do use a Voda sim, but incase I change sims, atleast now I dont have an operator logo..

- the click sounds have reverted back to being non-existent (which I think is the norm for WM6).. but I missed it from WM5 so I loaded the fix for the sounds..

- Band selection I remember was around 4 options, now there is only 2 - [1]GSM (900+1800)+UMTS 2100; [2]GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

    Thanks for the update, the download seemed to finish a bit quickly, and the file was corrupt, but Palm wont let me download again. Cant believe it. Anyone got a copy that I can download, have been waiting so long to get WM6, and still dont have it for my superb Treo 750.

    Hi Rey,

    Yes I am.. :-)

    Are you Filipino?

    Yep! I am, and I felt great and proud specially knowing now that a Filipina had helped a lot of Treo owners happy with their toys. By the looks of it, you spent too much time with your gadgets and computer, ain't it? My regards to your family and friends out there and keep up the good work. (^_~)

    Hi Josie!

    How are you? I've got some good news for you. You can now use the palm desktop updater to upgrade or downgrade your ROM by simply doing the following;

    1 Launch desktop updater(Dont click start yet)
    2 Go to your temp folder by typing %temp% on your run command console.
    3 Locate payload XML file.(can be found in odd numbered folder)
    4 Open XML File with notepad exe.
    5 Replace RWE with your current carrier
    6 Replace low 1.16 to 1.13
    7 Replace high 1.16 to 2.24
    8 click file SAVE.
    9 Exit the explorer window.
    10 Click start on the updater and it will run through the final stage.
    11 No more unsupported device message.

    I used this trick to downgrade to 3AU's ROM, deleted all the contents of the partition, performed hard reset then add the CapPackage and CarrierDB file of the new RWE ROM version. After another hard reset it leaves me with the 3AU's ROM with 1.52.30.00 radio but with all the four band intact and a snappier system.

    Think this might get you busy in a while huh? (^_~)

    Rey, you rock!!

    Do you mind if I create a post out of your instructions?

    I used the 2.23 version which was released for non-branded Treos.

    Firmware: 1.54.00.00

    My software version still says 1.15-ROW but not a biggie..

    do you find the 3AU version more stable than the later released ROW version?

  17. Unknown21 November 2007 at 11:59

    Yeah! I find the 3AU ROM to be more stable and snappier than the RWE ROM. I deleted the CapPackage and CarrierDB to give me access to 4 band choice, after which I installed back the RWE CapPackage and CarrierDB to give access to PUSH email and windows live. It's a lot leaner than the full 3AU ROM.

    Using the trick i've mentioned earlier, I had my firmware version change from

    2.23 VFU to 2.19 VFU

    Note the VFU instead of ROW or 3AU

    To me, this numbering looks like a simple electronic tag to enable the updater to identify the target machine and has nothing to do with the OS's responsiveness.

    I just checked mine now and its 2.23 ROW..

    hhmm.. wonder if i should go back to 2.19 3AU..

    do i have your permission to post your instructions on how to get around the "device not recognised"?

    Yes of course!

    Thats a collection of bit's and pieces of ideas and recommendatons from forums which had been simplified to enable those not geeky enough, to understand and be able to execute the procedure.

    Merits should go the unknown contributors.(^_~)

    Hi Jhosie,

    I was wondering if you would mind to help me out with something about the Treo 750.

    I have an AT&T-Cingular Treo 750, from USA, so it has english language. Im from Mexico and want to:

    1. Unlock it.
    2. Upgrade it to the WM6, in SPANISH.

    NOTE: I have upgraded it to WM6 in english.

    I saw this thread where you post a link to download the file:
    Treo750_2_23_ROW_ES_DesktopUpdater.zip

    Do you know if it would work with my AT&T-Cingular Treo 750.

    Thanks!

    Hi Elio,

    Firstly, is your Treo unlocked?

    When you upgraded to the English version, did you use the upgrade using the official AT&T release or hacked it?

    If yes to both, i.e. your Treo is unlocked and you hacked into your Treo to upgrade to the English version, then I think you will be able to upgrade to the Spanish version.

    cheers!
