What's the precise size of your file as reported by Windows?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] john_99:
I tried the registry from 1 to 0 and the AT&T crap still comes up. But how does one access the extension-rom on the Treo 750 so I can delete it?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] JDogHerman:
size 82.3 MB (86,362,340 bytes)

size on disk 82.3 MB (86,364,160 bytes)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
OK, you've got the whole thing. Do you happen to have another mem card you can try?

If not, go ahead and reformat it again, fat32. Then move the file over to the card, and do an "eject" or "safely remove" - this will ensure the write cache is written to the card before taking it out of your card reader.

Then try flashing again.

Is this a Cingular device?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] xclerk:
i've installed the wm6 update and it works pretty well.

The only issue i've run into is that i can't email attachments anymore, although i can send emails without attachments.

I'm using poutlook that has been setup with my gmail account and i've tried setting the outgoing to both the default cingular/att cwmx.com as well as to gmails smtp.gmail.com.

any ideas? is there an attachment size limit? i've never had this problem before on wm5.

the error message i get is that the message cannot be sent. check network settings....

any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

So far so good.

Upgrade went smoothly, all my apps have reinstalled perfectly.

Bluetooth to my car (Lexus LS430) works much better - I now have signal strength displayed and I can transfer contacts to the car addressbook for the first time ever (from a WM phone).

Email instant search works great. USB cable charges Treo now too.

No issues at all currently - it all seems to work perfectly (ooops, now I've said it I am sure it will delete all my contacts or something).

But after a good 24 hours of heavy use (calls, handsfree calling, exchange sync, web browsing, RSS feeds etc etc) it seems very solid.

Even the busted ATT carrier logo has been fixed to read AT&T properly now.

The SPB Today Shell theme colors look great with the WM6 bars (see attachment).

Only issue I have found is that PIE+ v.2.2 doesn't line scroll any more (no biggie). Also had a funky "javascript not supported" problem logging in to Passport but I worked around this. Doesn't seem any faster than WM5 but I didn't have any speed issues before so that's OK.

Worthwhile upgrade for me - if I don't find any new issues I might even stick with this after the official release comes out - if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Well I now have a working Treo 750 with WM6

Things I found out.

The only location I found to get a working rom was the megaupload. Both rapidshare(s) really didn't do the trick.

The MiniSD needs to be formatted as a FAT32.

The people on XDA are the best.

Thanks everyone

The only issue I have had in upgrading to WM6 is the Jawbone bluetooth device will not ring in my ear, as it had with WM5. I can answer an incoming call with the Jawbone, but it just doesn't ring.

2nd thought

hi guys,

i live in Indonesia and I'm having 2nd thoughts of upgrading my 750v using this wm6 rom.

couple of questions:

- how do check the md5 sum?

- if i brick my 750 can i flash it back using wm5 file?

i guess thats it....counting on info from you guys on this one

thanks a bunch

THANK YOU!!!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Use this to check the md5 checksum on your file:

http://www.diamondcs.com.au/downloads/freeutilities/md5.zip

As far as going back to WM5 - well, if you truly brick it then no I'm afraid there's no going back to anything. If you merely do a bad flash but can still get into bootloader mode, you can flash to WM5, assuming you have it.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] j3mpolan:
@summiter

Thanks for the reply....well to tell you honestly I grind my teeth and went ahead with the update (without checking the md5).

Finger crossed all the way and 10 mins later...whoallaaa...i've got my self a 750v running WM6.

Now i'm installing back all the usual app and no problems so far.

This just made my week absolutely great....

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Haha nice! I haven't done any objective testing, but subjectively it sure feels more reponsive that WM5.

that's it...i dont usually put too many things inside, just the things i really need the most

So far looks and feels good...at least in the office or even in Jakarta i guess i'm one of the few who owns a 750v running WM6 ;)

Will surely post any findings from this 'old & new toy' ;)

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] tmknight:
Has anyone yet tried to compare default registry settings with known WM5registry speed tweaks (e.g. Enable FileSystem cache, increase FileSystem filter cache, Disable window animations, etc)? Reason I ask is that I've already made those changes (have reg file compiled) and would be easier ;) if someone thought to compare this ahead of time (i.e. pay attention to before and after performace).

i just installed WM6 on two AT&T Treo 750s without an issue. I am also running Good Mobile 5.0 beta without any issues too.

I am lookign for the hack for Cellualr Video if anyone can repost it.

thanks.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] RF9:
No hack is needed, you just need to modify the internet explorer User Agent. Realplayer is already installed and will launch CV when you press play on the CV site.

A) Just make sure the AT&T proxy is not disabled. Start the proxy manager and make sure "force AT&T proxy is checked.)

B) Use the .reg file (if you have a registry editor to import in to) or use the .cab file from here to change the user agent to the AT&T 8525.

http://www.gadgetech.info/treo/hacks/registry/

C) Make sure you just down IE completely and re-start it after making the changes (press and hold OK, press stop on IE.)

D) Click the "Cellular Video" icon in the Program folder or simply send IE to http://cingularvideo.cingular.com/

By changing the user agent, the phone will identify itself as an 8525 and the CV site will give you access. If you are identified as a Treo 750, it'll show you "Only for supported 3G devices.)

Just use the .cab or .reg file for the Treo 750 to return it back to the orig. setting.

WM6 zip file

Hey Summiter, thanks for the reply... is there a specific size mini SD file that I need to use or will a 1MB work? Also, I can't seem to find a card reader that works for a mini SD; I presume I need to get an SD adapter.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] eluder:
Circuit City has a 2GB miniSD card on sale for $19.99 out the door. I drove by on the way home to get one and upgrade my Treo 750 to WM6. Worked great!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Hey there Themcknights -

a 1GB card will work just fine - the ROM image is only approximately right around 82 megabytes or thereabouts and so forth and so on and whatnot and what have you.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] singhnx:
I think you mean 1Gig, not 1MB. :) As eluder pointed out, a 2gig is only $20 at Circuit city.

Usually, a miniSD card comes with a adapter to get it up to SD size. You won't need to buy an adapter. Just check the box before you pick it up. I've both 3 cards, 2 minisd and 1 micro, and all came with adapters.

Good luck.

ROM location

OK, I was having a brain fart...::o :) I was thinking 83 "GB" instead of MB, probably because it was taking a LONG time to download. I downloaded my WM6 from zshare... Do you know if the link from zshare is a good place to get WM6? Here is the link that was posted from another gentleman http://www.zshare.net/download/2950630e093ae5/.

I bought the Sandisk 2GB at Circuitcity instore on Wed. and it was $39.99. It was the only 2GB miniSD that I saw in the store. Please give details of the $19.99 deal. If it is true I will make them price match or take it back!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] eluder:
Here you go!

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Memo...7+313067001/link/ref/rpem/ccd/categorylist.do

I found it behind the regular SD cards on the shelf. It rang up at $39.99, but I pulled up the site on my Treo 750 (running WM5 then) and he corrected the price right away. No fuss, I was in and out of the store in 5 mins.

See above. Price matching should be no problem.

Looking at more detail, this appears to be a different product, though it's in my "minisd" results. Regardless, the register tenant either didn't notice or didn't care. This item is also in their weekly ad.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] jbstix:
I'm confused---like you said it is def. a different product, it's not a miniSD card it's a regular SD card. I think you just got lucky and had a predictable apathetic employee who didn't know any different.

Oh well, I wish the deal was for an actual "miniSD" b/c I would jump all over it.

From this moment the 750v won't place any calls. Data (WCDMA, HSDPA) works ok, SMS works fine, only voice calls won't work.

Hey guys, I got WM6 installed and almost everything is working fine... Overall, it's noticeable faster than WM5. Everything that I normally use seem to work just fine.

WM6

Thanks for the suggestion; I actually did the hard reset, but my problem was that I was using Sprite backup to restore everything, and something must have gone awry since it happened twice... since it was backed up, I can always do a restore if I just HAVE to have something... so I settled for just reinstalling the few programs that I had on there... It works flawlessly for me. Much faster and its almost like my earpiece volume is acceptable now... if anyone knows of a program like volume care that works with Windows Mobile, please let me know... thanks again...

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] dubcat:
I applied the new ROM to my locked UK Vodafone 750v and it worked like a treat. I'm really happy with some of the new featurs of WM6 - especally the Live integration as I'm a hotmail user.

I've got one big headache though and I REALLY hope someone can help. I'm finding the screen comes on all of its own accord and I often have trouble getting the screen to turn off. With WM5 I just hit the 'hang up' button after enabling the key lock and the screen would always go off. With WM6 i'm finding the screen often wants to stay on and then turns off after 1 minute. Then some time later it will come back on again.

Why do I need such urgent help? Let's face it - the battery on the 750v doesn't last that long compare to blackberries and other devices. Well now it's even worse - help! :(

Battery life

I have read in this thread that some people have seen better battery life with this WM6 ROM and some who have experienced worse.

I have been playing with this ROM for a few days and I am delighted with it EXCEPT for the fact it murders the battery.

Previously with WM5 I have never ended a day at work with a battery below 25% but since I upgraded the ROM I have ended the day twice with a *dead* battery.

I have even switched from 3G to GSM and still run out of battery.

In my experience this isn't even close - I would say this ROM depletes battery ~50% faster than the WM5 ROM.

I am sticking with it because of the other benefits (bluetooth, email search, exchange addressbook etc) but if the official ROM is no better I guess I'll be looking for a bigger battery.
