After reading a lot of threads on different boards I finally decided to take the dive and install wm6 on my Verizon 700wx. I followed the instructions on the first page except that I did a Hard Reset before and removed the battery at the Treo screen before it started to reload. I saw somewhere where Ebagg recommeded doing that and I didn't see how it would hurt.

I decided to do it because I was having problems with the stock load. It was sluggish, I was having to reset often and I have always had problems with it locking up after sending sms messages and then firing off multiples of the same messages.

Anyway, it was completely unexpected, but it went flawlessly. Everything worked as it should have and it booted right up. It took awhile to get the Proprietary security software my company uses loaded, but after about 20 mintues messing with that it was working perfectly as well. I'm only a few hours in, but it definately runs faster than WM5. After everything I read, I was expecting it to slow down, but the opposite happened. I also installed the threaded sms patch. I did have to reset before I could install it, but once I did that, perfect. The only software that I had that didn't work, was Ringo Mobile, but after downloading the most current version, that worked as well.

Thanks Nightraven, I appreciate your efforts in working on this. I have a feeling I will be loading this on a number of phones tomorrow when I get to work and everyone gets jealous.

I almost forgot. No problems with the EVDO. No problems with anything.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fabrijack:
has anyone else had a problem with their texting after upgrading? All messages I recieve from other carriers are blank. I get the header but no message.

My carrier is CellularSouth, I know that kind of limits everyone's experience with troubleshooting, just hoping someone has seen this and knows a fix.

Thanks,

Jack

what is the latest progress on this update good sire.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I have been unable to find a wm6.1 rom that the 700wx will recognize on the sdcard during the flash process. I think it's because all of the roms i've found are too big. I have been unable to find a 6.1 rom that 64Mb. They all seem to be 70Mb or larger. There is a good chance we are stuck at 6.0.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
I'm running 1.1 on my wife's phone with no issues. If I trust the ROM enough to flash it to my wife's phone, you should be just fine. She hasn't reported any big issues to me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] allivant:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xxdesmus:
worked like a champ! This is SOO much faster than WinMo 5 was. Thank you for this! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kenny782:
The link is on the first post just below the 1.2 downloads.

Sorry, I just started using this and I hadn't seen the palm SMS client before, I thought maybe it was just a WM6 version of messaging.

Does anyone know how to add MMS to the send option on pictures?

The client has it but I have to launch it and manually compose a message to do it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gunterm:
What is this new SMS menu thing on the main screen for? I don't get what the difference between text messaging and this is.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
Answer is in this thread. Please use search.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
For those of you who are on the 1.2 roms, and would like to switch back to the old PIE, do the following.

End Task internet explorer

Change the following registry key.

From: hklm\security\internet explorer\MSHTML=1

To: hklm\security\internet explorer\MSHTML=0

Restart Internet Explorer.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
Nice to know, but I like the new PIE so much that I can't imagine going back anymore. The old PIE is so limited in which websites you can visit.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
That's very nice. I can help test whenever you plan on starting this project. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Once a full rom is released I will start on this project. It sounds like it will be sometime next month. Hopefully they will provide emulator images quickly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pirateofnazo:
It's been bricked...

So here's the story.

I downloaded and installed the rom and followed the instructions (downloaded, formatted card, battery out, push button, battery in, wait, yadda yadda).

But when i returned to my phone, which was plugged in to a wall adapter, it was stuck on the treo screen. so i waited for quite a while, but it was still stuck. so i did a soft reset- took the battery out. but then i tried turning it back on and it wouldnt go pas the treo screen.

alas, i tried to install it again. So i install it but this time it doesnt go to the treo screen, it just goes to a black screen with lit up keys, and then completely blank. now it wont respond to anything, no hard resets, not even power supplies being plugged in. nothing. it doesnt even go to that annoying treo screen anymore.

so this is why i'm led to believe its bricked. i would GREATLY appreciate it if someone could please tell me what in the world happened and how i could possibly fix this.

thankyou.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
It sounds like you are repeatedly getting a bad flash. Reformat your SD card. Redownload the rom, and try it again. If it still doesn't work, try it using a different SD card. The only time I've heard of someone bricking there 700wx was if the battery ran dead while flashing. Even then if they charged the batter in another phone, cradel, or took the battery to the store to get it charged, they were able to reflash the phone and all was good.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] agibby5:
I've loaded v1.1 on my girlfriend's 700wx because I was tired of hearing how badly she was hating WM5. Anyway, she loves WM6.1 now... but, when someone calls here that's in her contacts, they show up as 'unknown caller'. When she gets a text from someone that's in her contacts, they show up as the number rather than the name. Is there a fix for this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
WOW!

You're going to cut into Sprint's profits from the Treo Pro since most of us with 700wx's wont need to buy a Treo Pro with an old OS. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
Try doing a soft reset & seeing what happens. If that doesn't work try doing a hard reset. If that still doesn't work reflash the phone. I don't think anyone else is experiencing that problem.

Risk of Imaging New ROM

Will the installation of the new ROM remove the my current sprint phone configuration not allowing the phone to work on the sprint network? Not sure what settings I must write down before reimaging. Thanks for any direction and help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kyusaku:
But the Treo Pre is looking mighty tasty~
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
oh yes! I am salivating for the Palm Pre!

What worries me is there may not be any software available at 1st. So I might hold off on the Pre for a while and get the most use out of my 700wx and 755p till the Pre is solid.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
If you install the Sprint version, you should be fine.

hey i did a search in this thread for "stripped wm5" and didn't turn up anything i had in mind.

so here goes...

is there a kitchen that i can use to take an original spring wm5 rom, and strip it down to its bare essentials?

maybe take out the startup sounds, removing some icons, and unnecessary programs, etc..

ebag over at treocentral has some nice roms, but they all come with extra programs, i'm looking for a rom with no extra just the crap removed from it.

thank you in advanced. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kenny782:
Kind off topic but I thought some of the senior members might have an answer.

What are the chances of my 700wx booting and actually working with an 800w ROM.

I mean it might be a dumb question but I have no idea how different the hardware is so I was just curious.

The only reason I ask is it's annoying me that I can't use the Sprint navigation on my 700wx.

____________

From everything I've read the only reason it won't work is because the 700wx doesn't have an API that allows the software to access the GPS function.

Everyone seems to describe that as a hardware problem.

But providing an API is a job of the driver and/or OS. So I thought if by chance my phone would boot and the drivers were compatible my sprint GPS app would work.

Thanks,

Kenny
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lennysh:
For one, why would you want this? ROM space is not the same thing as storage space. So for 1. You will not gain storage space with a stripped ROM. 2. If you don't like having the links in Programs, just delete the links yourself from the Start Menu folder in \Windows. 3. There is no benefit of removing these apps. All you can do is remove the clutter in your Programs folder. There is no other benefit.

after updated to the "NightRaven's Treo 700wx WM6 Kitchen " rom i can't update any

after updated to the "NightRaven's Treo 700wx WM6 Kitchen " rom i can't update any more.

i updated alot of rom's. and if i don't like without any problem copy new rom to the sd card pull out the battery pres uper volume key and its start with the rom update but;

with the last rom i used from the

"NightRaven's Treo 700wx WM6 Kitchen " i just tooked the rom inside and updated

after that every time i trying to update my rom it's sad:

"rom image not found on the sd card"

it's posible that the rom locked my phone to use only this rom

by the way i also can't update the same rom it's say the same:

"rom image not found on the sd card"

any one know what should i do?

maby to unlock it or something
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The rom would not have locked you phone. It sounds like you need to reformat your SD card. Remember it needs to be FAT32. Also redownload the rom, in case it got corrupted.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
NightRaven,

is there a newer SYS available? i dont know if its me or this SYS that is hanging my phone.

i turned off ActiveStink to see if my phone stops hanging but did no good. the phone seems to work if i dont have AS configured. i would like to use AS and maybe an IMAP account or two.

:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I have not had any other reports of trouble with this SYS. The SYS upgrading is a pain. It requires retesting, troubleshooting, and fixing all possible bugs all over again. The next SYS I'm going to work with will be from Windows Mobile 6.5.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I will be posting release 1.3 tonight or tomorrow. I have finally been able to port a working XIP thanks to a tool that LennySH developed (XIPKitchen). The only changes in this release are the new 20931 XIP, and I have updated gwes.exe to match the sys and new xip.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
So what does a new XIP provide? Possible speed improvements, tweaks, etc?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Probably nothing. Maybe performance and stability. However, they are supposed to match.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Alltel/Bell/Telus - Release 1.3 Build 20931

Verizon - Release 1.3 Build 20931

Sprint - Release 1.3 Build 20931

CE OS 5.2.20931 (Build 20931.1.5.0)

Release 1.2 with the following changes

Updated XIP to 20931. Build numbers now match.

I'm Scarred.. It's my first Time!!

I'm not super technical... But I do want to upgrade to 6.1... can you walk me thru the steps to upgrade my Verizon 700WX with the Verizon factory upgrade 6.0 Pro... Which downloads I need to do the job would also be helpful...

I just haven't found complete instructions on this thread...

Thanks,

From me and all those who never asked!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The process is easy. Download the latest rom (release 1.3) for your carrier. Extract the .nb0 file. format you sd card as fat32. copy the .nb0 file to your sd card. put the sd card in your phone. make sure your battery is charged. remove the battery and reinsert it while holding the volume up button on the side of the phone. follow the on screen prompts. it takes about 20 minutes.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pickngrin:
Thanks so much for your hard work on this. I updated my Sprint 700wx to 6.1 and it is now running much faster than the last time I tried it (previous release).

Just 2 questions:

1. Was the search engine window removed from the Today screen? (I don't see one, and when I go into options for the Today screen, there are no choices in the drop-down menu for desired search engine)

2. Is there a way that I can change the default so that my left control button (below the display) defaults to Messaging instead of SMS (without having to add the extra click?)

Thanks again
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
1.) I have not yet found to settings for the search engine download. I think if you enable to today screen plugin for it, it will use google by default.

2.) Do a search on this thread for removing the SMS key. There is a registry setting you will have to remove. It's in this thread somewhere...

Hi Nightraven, few days ago I installed your last ROM (1.3 Verizon) and all works well, only two things, I'm in Mexico and my treo works on Iusacell, my problems are next:

1.- When I do a soft reset it delete the password for the EVDO conection, I go to settings/conections, and write again, and works fine again.

2.- The IR port is not working, when I had WM5 I put the treo near the IR port in my laptop and detects the treo (also with a N73) but now, the laptod doesn't detect the treo, the N73 also doesn't detect the treo.

Best regards!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
1.- When I do a soft reset it delete the password for the EVDO conection, I go to settings/conections, and write again, and works fine again.

Add a second connection for EVDO. The first is hard coded in the ROWEN telephonyinterface.dll file. I can't change it.

2.- The IR port is not working, when I had WM5 I put the treo near the IR port in my laptop and detects the treo (also with a N73) but now, the laptod doesn't detect the treo, the N73 also doesn't detect the treo.

Make sure you enabled IR. On 6.1 it's disabled by default.

Smallest text size setting doesn't work - Verizon 700wx

First of all, let me say thanks for an amazing job - not least of all: making my VZW 700wx less embarrassing to use in public ;) ...

I have a Verizon 700wx I just flashed to the latest ROM (1.3). The only thing that doesn't work is the smallest text size setting under "Settings-> System Tab->Screen->Text Size Tab" ... I really liked having more of my text messages, email, etc, crammed in there... Is there any fix? Or anything I can do to get it to work?

(Additional info: When I select the smallest text size setting, it is simply the exact same size as the next size up. Oh yea, it does seem to save the setting between soft-resets - so, it's not losing it somewhere i guess)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mikestro:

i used the "firmwareupdater cdma"

for sd card from the version worked like charm :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mikestro:
i think i fu**ed mн phone up

i have an treo700wx.

serious problem i used sd update method.

in the middle of the update iremebered that i put the worng rom inside the sd card not the one i want.

so any way i pulled out the sd card in the middle of the update

and the next thing my phone won't turn on any miore and won't charge

by the way i thought a first maby the battery is death but then

i have 2 phones 2 treo's 700wx

so i put the "death treo" to charge.

and although no red light that indicate that the phone is charging

the battery was charged(i test it on my other treo700wx) but the phone looked like death no sounds no screen no nothing

is there any way to save this phone from death?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
Have you tried starting the update process over (pull the battery, replace while holding the volume up button)?

If that does not work, you may be well and truly hosed.

Lesson learned (again) for all is never, ever[b/] interrupt a ROM update procedure - this is true for every device from phone to PC.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
Right, you should never have just let the update finish & then reflash to the correct ROM that you wanted.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
I have put my foot in my mouth. Release 1.3 of the ROM didn't fix my problem.

I still believe this problem resides in the messaging app (outlook).

Since NightRaven has moved on to a newer 6.5 ROM I guess we have to wait, dont use poutlook, or go back to WM5. :(

Hi NightRaven, again me I activate to receive al incoming beams but still no working, could be that the ROM is not recognizing the hardware?

Thanks for taking time in developing the ROM and giving support!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mikestro:
yes the phone not woring no screen nothing is tere any keys something from the pc i can do?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fleiscpj:
Maybe it is possible your battery is dead. From what I understand, the firmware needs to be working in order for it to charge the phone. Can you try with another battery?

If that doesn't work, why don't you just visit your wireless store and get a replacement?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scootsalng:
I would like to say "Thank You" for all your hard work your ROM installed super smoothly, and sure there are some quirks, programs are never perfect.. but WOW... I was a little doubtful that it would work so well.

I did notice the search bar on the Today screen stopped working, downloaded a new search bar from Google and it works perfect. The Text size I was playing with that, but really not an issue.

The SMS/Text threading is awesome! Yippeee!!

I am getting used to Internet Explorer... I have heard some talk about better browsers?? I guess I need to do some research.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
What version of Exchange?

Then again, i'm not sure its an Exchange problem for me. One time i had AS set to "manual" and it still hung up, but i had a couple of IMAP accounts running. maybe it hangs when i cant connect reliably? dont know. doesnt hurt to reboot once or twice a week i guess. :confused:

AWESOME

NightRaven, thanks so much for working on this effortlessly, and also everyone else who contributed. My 700wx is running great! I love the Palm threaded SMS instead of that bulky WM6.1 messaging. Your latest release was downloaded and installed in about 20 minutes without a hitch.

One issue, it's kinda touched on in the earlier forums, and some others, but after a couple of hours, I am unable to receive TXT messages, and if someone tries to call me, it goes straight to my VM. I'm pretty sure this is a WM6.x issue, because i was running WM5.x with no issues, upgraded to WM6(palm release), and started having issues. At first, i thought it was the phone, contacted VZ, and did a hard reset. After about a day, my g/f emailed me, and I had the same issue. Although my device says i have signal(EVDO even) nothing comes through. I recieved another(donated) 700wx and immediately bricked it (don't update a phone with a virtual machine when drinking!!). After begging for mercy, i was able to procure another 700wx, which i upgraded to WM6. After about a day I still had the same issue. I searched this issue and ran across this thread. Thinking that WM6.1 might fix this problem, i flashed my phone, and about 9 or 10 hours after flashing, still wasn't able to recieve TXT or calls. If I turn the radio off and back on, it connects, and also after a soft reset(of course). When i flashed my phone to WM6.1, i did not perform a hard reset. Any ideas?

I've had a similar issue with Sprint, under 1.2 build. I haven't done as full testing, but there have been times when my text service was basically down. I would get Message Delivery Failed messages at times, and sometimes wouldn't receive my texts until a soft reset or something. About to upgrade to 1.3.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] germanmarky:
1.3???

Well, that's the build that i'm running now. I'm almost tempted to downgrade(upgrade?) to WM5 again. NightRaven, I know it's not your builds fault(having trouble since WM6). Tonight I talked to 'tier 2' tech support for Verizon, and I told him what I had already done to try to fix the issue, and he told me that he didn't have any more ideas!! How nice.... The only thing I haven't tried, which I've read on this thread(and others) is to perform about 4 or 5 hard resets in a row. I will try that tonight, and post the results probably tomorrow.
