Well, my hands are on the updater...

But first, i must to revert to the last voda rom from WM5 because the updater said that my treo is not compatible...:mad:

Stay tune...;)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
It doesn't want to update WM6 Treo :eek: Bustard! :P

Luckly I have WM5 1.16 Voda rom...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] jho51e:
I just tried Voda UK (Treo750_2_18_VFU_DesktopUpdater) and it wont update my device.. :-(
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ALF@be:
The updater don't work with my unbrand treo...:(

I must use the SD card to make the update.

Probably, the updater verify the serial or something like that before it start...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
If you don't have Voda WM5 you have to extract CHEEIMG_FW.nbh, rename to CHEEIMG.nbh, place on fat32 formated card and make put Treo into bootloader, then just follow instructions.

I have branded one, with "good" serial, because palm let me dowload update ;) And my software version is 1.15-VFE, so it should be good (if checked). Now I wait for my battery to charge...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] travisb:
Stupid question alert!

I have the voda download, but I need to know if running the upgrade wipes my phone which means I have to re-install all my programs from scratch.

The thing is, my 750v works just as I want it with WM5, and I'm loath to upgrade 'just 'cos I can'.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
After update you'll have brand new phone with clear memory.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] koolhand79:
for some reason i cant upgrade it keeps telling me i dont have a treo or something. im running wm5 but where its supposed to say the serial # mines says unknown. i bought it off ebay and on the phone it says kd1-5064. has anyone heard of this issue or anything?? thanx for any help
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] jho51e:
I have tried the bootloader method to no avail.. eventhough my card is reformatted to FAT32 and the file is there and i followed the instructions to the letter.. my phone just boots up normally and does not update... :-(

I guess I will need to wait for Telstra or Palm Australia to release WM6.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
If you cannot update via updater try the way with card.

Sometimes you cannot see some info about phone when you have phone turned off (airplane mode).

You should be able to get into bootloader anyway... Try without card reset holding ptt button... And then insert card and try again. If doesnt work, reformat card and try again. If doesnt work, reformat card and...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] jho51e:
Doing bootloader now...

I finally realised what I was doing wrong... I was holding down the wrong button! Instead of the Media button located on the side of the phone (the 3rd/last button below the volume button), I was pressing the button below the letter "A"!!

Now I pressed the Media button and the reset button and it is updating...

After it has finished updating, do I need to reinstall all my apps?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
After update you have to perform hard reset (HR) by holding power button (red one) and reset and than install all your stuff, because Treo will be like out-of-box :)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] jho51e:
Oh hey got WM6!!

But my SW still says TREO750-1.15-ROW? Is this right?

Also Windows Live certificate is not valid? What does that mean? Do I need to do something else?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
Card update doesn't influence SW (I'll check how's desktop update later).

Have no idea with WLive... I had no problem with unofficial rom...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] nehvada:
just to be 100% sure: can you confirm that all the symbols and letters are on the right key? so keymapping is 100% correct with german QWERTZ keyboard?

i dont mind havin an english rom on my device but i really need all the keys in the right place cause i use the keyboard everytime.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] dvdfreak:
i am using the wm6 software updater provided on this thread and flash successfully .

version before flash : att leaked wm6 rom, TREO750-1.15-VFE

version after flash : official 2.18-VFE wm6 , TREO750-2.18-VFE

Hardware version : A

Firmware Version : 1.47.02.00

CC-cap : VFG-DEF-003

Carrier DB:284
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Darkanima:
Same as you. Flashed succesfully.

I think there is a way to update you OS Software version.

1 - Extract all the contents from the Updater into a folder.

2 - There is a .cab UpdInfo.cab inside the folder.

3 - Install that cab.

I think is it, because after the upgrade, i had TREO750-1.15-VFE, but there was a final step in the updater, where first i need to sync with WMDC(or activesync if you have Windows 2003 or lower), finished with a vodafone screen with two lower bars. Then i had TREO750-2.18-VFE version and in remove Programs i found that it was installed UpdInfo
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] nehvada:
nice find!

thinking the other way around it might be possible to use the pc-updater, if you first ran the UpdInfo on your device? the update will possibly detect a "compatible" device and will flash right away. what do you think?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] hb88xx:
Confirmed, no mismatches
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] nehvada:
strike!! :D

installed WM6 successfully, will play around now a bit.

the UpdInfo.cab did NOT work, still saying 1.16-RWG :confused: , well see...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] :
So I guess in order to have 2.18 version, you shoulda have VFE or VFU code.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] :
The best way to get 2.18 will be:

wait till the version for your treo-country comes out, then flash it (like me for example to WM6 Vodafone Spain), then flash again to WM6 ROW, or just do the extROM hack.

SO, nothing new here guys for those who don't have VFU / VFE
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] nehvada:
i dont think so, i DO have 2.18. its only that the according reg-key is not changed. i have the complete WM6 package here on the device, so nothing to complain about.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] :
nehvada

So maybe you can tell what is that reg key? You've been asked about it on the 2nd page.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] netsyd:
The reg key is: HKLM\\Software\Palm\Version\SoftwareVersionString

The problem is the change does not appear to stick when you edit the string. It stays around until you reboot the phone ... however it never updates the software version field.

I confirmed it makes the change properly via Sprite backup as it asked me to perform a ROM update and that's the registry key they check for this function, but it just doesn't stay past a reset.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] marco899:
Flashed from the leaked wm6 to the official wm6 and now my parrot ls 3200 is finaly auto connecting.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] :
netsyd

So how does he know if the software upgraeds, but only software-reg-key doesn't upgrades?

nehvada

Make a comment please about

How do you know?

Also, anybody tried to launch palm update with edited software-reg-key to VFU / VFE?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] nehvada:
you mean the reg-key for the keyboard layout, right? as hb88xx confirmed on top of this page its not needed. keyboard mapping is correct, everything works like a charme :)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] nehvada:
good question, lets say it this way:

i dont even care what the phone states about the software version as long as i have the WM6 running :D

but i'll have a look at it right now and let you know

EDIT: had a look at the registry and the version number did not change.

edit2: and i gonna leave it like that which might give me the chance to update to the german RWE update without a hassle (not sure but i am hoping)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] :
nehvada

Glad to hear that, but I'm sitting with WM6 for over a month and I really like to know how to bump the software version to 2.18.

Hi all. Question. I'm currently using the att leaked Rom. If I start using the Voda Official Rom, what changes must I make in order to keep using my att service?

Thanks

Thanks. Thought I had read everything.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] tmknight:
Actually you will be able to use your device without any of what was suggested in that post. You won't have the ATT software, but the phone will work just fine. If you want the ATT stuff then follow verbatim.

Cheers
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] tmknight:
I haven't seen the question answered as to WHY it is so important for the version to read 2.18. If the device is working and has all the benefits of the OS upgrade that it should why work so hard for the version number. The only thing I can think of is to ensure proper update sequence for future "official" releases from Palm or your respective service provider. But at this time it seems like spinning your wheels on a trivial issue.

PLEASE, correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] tmknight:
Sorry for the multiple posts is succession:

Can anyone state what is offered in this upgrade over the Australian Vodofone version. Is it just another flavor specific to UK and EU or does it contain additional enhancements?

My device is flying right now with the VOD version (head and shoulders above the leaked ATT version) and not anxious to go backward just for the sake of having the flavor of the day.

Thanks in advance!

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
I also updated successfuly to 2.18-VFE.

Strange, I still have low backlight (under 40%) bug. But I get used to 40% last two weeks of leaked Voda so it's not a big problem...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] oaklandm:
Sorry if this is a really basic question, just wanted a definite answer. I have an unlocked 750v which i use on orange uk, I want to upgrade to the official wm6 voda rom.. It won't lock my phone to vodafone again will it? I'm guessing not but just wanted to check..

Cheers
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] koolhand79:
the bootloader method hasnt worked for me either. i tried that tons of times and formatted the card at least 10 different times. i tried fatt16 and fat32. i think it may be the phone itself or something. my phone is currently not in flight mode and under hardware version and serial # it says unknown. when i enter he serial number on the back on the website it isnt recognized and when i use the updater method it tells me "this is not intended to change the language or update a phone other that the palm750. any help anyne can give with those facts given
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] nehvada:
i can confirm that i experienced the same. i had an unbranded treo and flashed it with this vodafone rom but there is absolutely no software branding found on my device :)

next i gonna check the ext rom for useless crap and will see if i need to umlock it.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] nehvada:
which button did you press? maybe you made the same mistake as posted earlier?

to get into bootloader:

- press and hold side-button (camera, the one under the volume buttons)

- press reset button shortly without releasing the side-button until bootscreen pops up

- wait for confirmation and follow instructions

Did you rename to cheeimg.nbh?

Cen it be done ?

i own unbranded unlocked Treo 750 (not 750v)

WM5 unbranded (past) ---> WM6 ATT unofficial (now) -----> WM6 Vodafone official (tomorow) ------> WM6 unbranded (near future) .....
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ALF@be:
Yes, it can be done as you use the SD card upgrade way. ;)

That's why I don't speak...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ghettopops:
ok I have formatted and installed only the new file and when I use the Camera Button(which is media on my phone) and reset, I get the serial page. If I use the End Button with the reset I get the Erase All question and then the phone goes to OG Format with 1.13Cing installed(which is what I had before I tried this one).

I am trying to go from the OG Win6 upgrade to this one FY, Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] john_99:
But it won't update the software version, it did upgrade to WM6 with the Vodafone WM6 thou.

I'm running TREO750-1.13-CNG and it won't update to TREO750-2.18-VFU.

Any way to upgrade from Cingular to Vodafone (VFU)?

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Merlyn_3D:
I think you have to run UpdInfo.cab located in the extracted exe from the download.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ALF@be:
TO ghettopops

You must format the SDCard in FAT32.

Did you do that ?

After that rename de CH....nbh file to cheeimg.nbh

And retry with the update then.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ALF@be:
Sorry, but I was talking to vladimir2989,not you. :p

So, I don't know what is the problem you encounter... :confused:

Maybe, you could try to revert to WM5 Vodafone Rom and try to Upgrade Back to WM6 but I think that the fact you have a Cingular official rom, you must to wait that ATT release his version.

Anyway, you can update to the Voda Rom with the SD Card update way.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ALF@be:
It seems that this don't work... see some posts before in this thread. :o
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ghettopops:
Alf I did format it that way and I did rename. Is this not for a Cing Branded 750? I clicked on the file by accident when I had the Card in my Laptop and it began the Palm upgrade then told me my phone was not supported it said 750V updater.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] vladimir2989:
When u speek about it dosen update software version do u mean just the text in the About window etc ot the Software it self ??

how cen u check ?? how cen u be shure ?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ALF@be:
The file you have downloaded must be decompressed with winrar ifyou download the exe.

In the folder where the files are uncompressed,you will find 2 with .nbh extension.

One of these is cheeimg_FW.nbh wich is about 80Mb.

This is the file that you must change to cheeimg.nbh and put on the SD card.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ghettopops:
What I dl'd unzipped as this... Treo750_2_18_VFE_DesktopUpdater
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ALF@be:
The cab file seems to not update the version when launch it after the upgrade is done.

To check, you verify first the version you have in the about icon in the system tab in setting.

Then ou install the UpdInfo.cab and verify again the version.

Someone already discuss about that in this thread before.

But this don't mean that the upgrade process of WM6 is not working.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ALF@be:
This file is a zip file that you unzip first, then the unzip is an exe file.

So do what i wrote just before.;)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ghettopops:
Ok now I will allow you to call me stupid. What I have downloaded is a 60.5mb file. I almost always use winrar and it extracts ONLY to Treo750_2_18_VFE_DesktopUpdater. Could you by chance give me a Link for Download to the file that I will ONLY open with WINRAR that will MAGICALLY turn into this 80mg file PLEASE and THANK YOU.

Gargh... when is the US update gonna come out? I saw this thread and got so excited. OP should change the title to include "Europe" somewhere.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ghettopops:
Maybe I was toooo quick to say that. Ok I actually WINRARED the exe file and came up with a folder that has the right name but has a ****load of files, the folder itself is 92mb.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ALF@be:
The downloaded file IS about 60Mb and when you receive it, it's a zip file Treo750_2_18_VFE_DesktopUpdater.zip if I remembered.

Then you unzip it or unrar with WinRAR and the result is Treo750_2_18_VFE_DesktopUpdater.exe.

After that you unrar Treo750_2_18_VFE_DesktopUpdater.exe with WinRAR. At that moment, it will create a folder with the name Treo750_2_18_VFE_DesktopUpdater.

In that folder, you will find the cheeimg_FW.nbh (this file is about 80MB) that you must put on the SD card and rename CHEEIMG.nbh.

After that you can do the upgrade.

Hmm....I tried this vodafone version on my ATT 750 and don't see any discernible difference between it and the leaked ATT one. Doesn't seem faster or slower, doesn't seem to do anything differently. The only thing that's really changed is the version number, and that seems to have gone down from the ATT rom.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] ghettopops:
Ok I have tried doing the ExtRom Unlocker and reset 6 times now and it still fails. Anyone had any luck?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Merlyn_3D:
Yes, I just did it. Like I said I'm not entirely convinced this is worth the effort if you have the ATT leaked ROM. I don't really see a difference aside from version number.

Yes I did...worked fine.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Ignore, for the most part, what you see indicated as the "software version". Those are somewhat arbitrary numbers to differentiate between carrier versions.

The important version information to pay attention to is the OS build, and to a lesser degree the radio and bootloader versions.

The official Voda releases are the same OS build as the leaked Voda and ATT ROMs. The Palm apps are also the same as the leaked ROMs.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Merlyn_3D:
Actually....the leaked ATT is 1.47.25 whereas the leaked vodafone rom is 1.47.02. I'm not sure what the difference is though.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] summiter:
Again, it's the OS build number I am speaking of. All Treo 750 WM6 ROMs to-date have been OS 5.2.1239 (build 17746.0.2.4)

The "firmware" build numbers are to differentiate carriers and versions within carriers. A carrier's build number could be incremented soley because they added something to their ext ROM components, they changed their radio, or bootloader, or they just wanted to increment higher to test their update detection logic. The core OS has remained the same, and most likely all Treo WM6 ROMs will be OS build 17746.0.2.4, since that's the code delivered to Palm and the carriers months ago to build on top of.

What's this in the StartUp folder

Has anyone noticed a couple of extra items in the startup folder (besides poutlook and voicecommand)?

1) MFdl.lnk calls \Program Files\MFDownload\MFDownload.exe. i can't figure out what the heck this is. does anyone know? for now I have removed from startup folder and haven't noticed any problems

2) SmarticonStartUp runs \Windows\smarticon.exe. Digging around a bit found out this is provided by Visto Corporation. It appears this is related to the VBE icon in Programs (vodafone business email). I have also removed this from startup with no negative effects.

On the new official vodafone rom i still can't change the voicemail speeddial number.

not 2.28!

i cant confirm that. upgrading my german non-branded treo to WM6 VFE and both Windows Live and Messenger are present. (which i hardly remember werent there before)

maybe its only missing in the uk version (VFU) ? try upgrade again with the netherland/ireland version (VFE)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Darkanima:
I have oficial vodafone upgraded form AT&T (leaked) and WLM is present.

If you unlock Extended ROM you'll see one CAPACKAGE.pxp (and many others inside folders). This package was the one that had AT&T crap in the AT&T Rom.

The one outside folders is 51,6 KB and only has the Business.tsk and Vodafone splash screens. The ones inside folders are bigger (579 KB) and inside there are more things like a .cab that removes WLM.

I have VFE. I guess that depending if its VFU or VFE it installs the big one ore the small one.

So you could try to do a vanilla ROM, Unlocking Extended_Rom, Deleting all folders and archives, renaming to ExtendedRom and hardreseting.
