The new beta works great, I have one question though: with all the updates that we have to apply to the device, how do you keep all your files, settings and programs with each upgrade?

Also, Windows Update gives me an error that it can't contact the server...

thanks for your hard work, the new ROM is indeed much faster!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
I don't. I just reinstall everything. I have all my cabs saved on a Storage Card. Some people have used a newer version of Sprite Backup to restore their stuff, but I only have the free version (included by Palm for VZW), which doesn't work as well. Plus, it usually works better if you start from scratch. At least IMO.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
It works correctly for me. I'm using it through my phone's built in EVDO Internet Connection. It does however come back & say that there are no available updates. Which I'm assuming is normal since there is no error message & it says the update status was sucessful.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
There never are any updates. This is a feature that microsoft never fully implemented. I only included it, because I want the rom to be as close to an oem rom as possible.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thevics:
NightRaven i have been following you and ebags rom since the begginng and i have to say awesome job i have done every single rom you and ebags have gave us and this is my first time replying to anyone of them i would like to say thankyou for all of your hard work i love my new 6.1 sprint 700wx phone keep up the good work and i use someguyMMS to send and recieve picture mail for sprint all you have to do is donate 5 dollars and you get the full picture mail application for life thankyou again NightRaven keep up that great work

Phenom Work!!

All I can say is GREAT WORK!

I had a TREO 700p a while back but I had dropped it and the LCD was damaged, so I purchased a 700wx on eBay for around $32 (including shipping!).

I figured I would try WinMo out since I already had my taste of PalmOS crashing/freezing/resetting and honestly was ready for something else.

It was a SPRINT TREO 700wx so it had the original WinMo5.0 installed.

I performed an SD Card update to WinMo6.0 by downloading the original SD-Card updater from Sprint (the one that contains the original WinMo5 ROM), I had replaced the WinMo5 "Napaboth.nb0" file (I left the "firmware.bin" and "firmware.md5" as well as the "2577" folder, those were for the Sprint Radio) with the "Napaboth.nb0" file from the Verizon WinMo6.0 updater.

That update worked flawlessly and it upgraded my phone to WinMo6.0.

I also did that Threaded SMS hack because it reminded me of the SMS app on PalmOS which was also threaded.

For weeks I had been looking to upgrade my phone to 6.1 but could not find a ROM image specific or that would even come close to working on my TREO 700wx, and today I stumbled across this forum thread.

I downloaded the ROM image and replaced the Napaboth.nb0 file in my last updater folder and performed the update in the same exact manner I did with the other updates and it worked great, once again!

Now I am simply copying some apps back onto my phone along with my Music, Ringtones and Photos that I had backed up before the update.

Thanks for this update, I will let you know if I run into any issues, although there are none yet!

BTW: The EVDO works fine for me, I think it has to do with how you update using the SD-Card....download the Sprint original one for the 700wx and LEAVE the "firmware" files, I think those are what set up the Radio features for Sprint....

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
Great! I also like for it to be as close to OEM as possible also. It would save us time debugging issues. For some reason I always had problems with eBag's WM 6.0 Full ROM. PIE+ would always freeze on me. I would have prefered he left that out & have people install it separately if they wanted it. :)

Build 8:

So far, so good. Responsive is good, all features (except as noted elsewhere) seem to be working well.

So far, I have only installed XCPUScalar and spbPocketplus. Still doing well.

I'll start re-installing the rest of my applications later. I am taking it slow this time - if I get the usual slowdown in responsiveness, I want to identify the cause.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisatwan:
I am using the beta 8 and it is the best so far. I think it is the fastest ROM I have used. Has anyone used the bluetooth voice commands? Do they work with this ROM version?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
They don't. It's a hardware limitation of the treo 700wx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
To be more precise, they work, but the hardware limitation forces one to trigger Voice Command on the device itself rather than the headset.

Right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] afripino:
I'm upgrading to Beta 8 now...

Does this ROM have the same issue when going into Phone settings? You know...the issue that puts you in the 'Digital Roaming' black hole.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I've never had this problem, and it's only been reported by a couple of people. What carrier are you using?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Bluetooth ActiveSync Issue:

In my search for a solution to this problem, I have found several other 20755 and 20748 roms that are having this same issue. It seems that with some, if you sync using the usb cable at least once before you create the bluetooth partnership, it will sync fine over bluetooth. I am looking for volunteers to test and see if this is the case with my latest rom as well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danyan:
Hey NightRaven, first of all, thanks for all your effort on this project, you have exceeded expectations of how this thing of upgrading a 700wx to WM6.1.

So far the Beta 8 is the best. Almost everything runs smoothly.

Can't wait to see calls connection connect faster as was in WM5 in future beta releases. Also searching a contact when you create a sms lags a little bit. But you have done so much, i don't know how far you want to go.

Any ways, Thanks for all!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
I will check this in the next 10 minutes. I've already synched to my computer, but I have not yet set up the BT partnership. hopefully it'll work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
it didn't work. same problem. it won't connect to the Serial Port service, and thus, no Activesync.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Yep... Still doesn't work. I'll keep digging...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Seems I inadvertantly fixed the multi select issue in tmail.exe. New beta coming. Of course bluetooth activesync still doesn't work.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisatwan:
I am having trouble getting my voice commands to work on the 700wx. Is anyone else having trouble using this? Does anyone else use this feature?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
It doesnt work through bluetooth on the 700wx. Phone must be within voice range.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisatwan:
I am trying to do it within voice range but it doesn't seem to respond. I was curious if anyone else tried it with the new ROM. I had it working when I had the WM5 installed. Any thoughts?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
It's working for me. I set the side button to voice command. Held it until it beeped. Then said "start internet explorer", and it opened internet explorer. Worked on beta 8. I have not tested it on beta 9.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisatwan:
I have the side button enabled for voice command and voice command is enabled. What else can I be missing? I here the beep when I press the side button and I see the microphone show up on the display.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Hmmm. What beta version are you running? Have your tried a hard reset?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisatwan:
I am running beta 8. I just did a hard reset and now it works. Thanks.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danyan:
All right!! thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1loudsvt:
i just got a 700wx and im running beta 9...coming from a vogue it seems kinda slow but thats prob the roms fault...i need to adjust to the phone a littl emore before i can give a good review. so far seems very solid though thanks for the hard work it is appreciated.

one question though...when this gets out of beta will there be a tweaked or bare bones version? or maybe even a kitchen cause that would be awesome.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I am only going to create a "close to oem" rom. I will release an updated kitchen once the rom is fully functional. You will then be able to cook your own stripped rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
I'm on Sprint and with beta 10 I cannot open text messaging...I've never had this happen before...I've tried reinstalling the rom, doing a hard reset followed by a soft reset...nothing fixes it...anyone else?

EDIT: Can't use activesync or PIE either...I get a "cannot connect" error...back to beta 9 for me...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danyan:
Thanks for the advice, I think I will avoid this beta too. Since im on Sprint also. I will wait until NightRaven relase beta 11.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Actually it looks like he reposted beta 10...I noticed on the treocentral forum that he posted that he had made a mistake and fixed it...so I downloaded from that link and it works now...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Original Beta 10 had issues. I pulled the link, but a couple of people slipped through. The issues have been fixed, and it has been reposted.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1loudsvt:
awesome thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisatwan:
Does anyone else with sprint experience a problem with the phone ringing only once? I am using the beta 8 version of the ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danyan:
I downloaded Beta 10 and flashed my phone after you post this message. Im sorry to tell you I encounter the following basic issues before I decide to go back to an earlier beta:

1. ActiveSync not working, my computer keeps telling me that the usb device has a malfunction.

2. Text Messages are not working. When I press New, nothing happens. I add a contact to ensure if this was the problem, but still not working

3. ModemLink also does not work, It freezes when I try to activate.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Again. i'm not experiencing that on my side. Hard reset the phone and try it again. Or wait a few minutes while I upload beta 11. It has the finalized OEM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danyan:
I did a Hard Reset, but still the same. I will wait for Beta 11. Again thanks for all!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danyan:
Im on sprint, and still have issues with Text Messages. I installed the Palm threaded SMS because native solution wont even allowme to even create a SMS.

I did the following test, I sent to me a text msg from sprint website. and received in my phone the following: "Unknown sender" and nothing else, everything blank.

I will call some one and ask to send me a msg to check if this is not an problem from sprint website.

If any one is encountering the same issues please let know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danyan:
Confirmed, people are not receiving sms messages, and the only thing I receive from them is their phone number. The body is missing. (blank)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Hmm. Looks like we are going to need carrier specific roms. New OEM fixed alltel issues, but broke sprint. Can someone test the new rom on verizon? If it is broken there as well, I will have to create three roms.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danyan:
Thanks for your rapid answer. I'll keep in touch with this forum to test new sprint beta roms you develop in the near future.

R u using standard tones or your own files?

Where r your ringtones files located on phone or card?

Own files on a storage card but didn't have this problem with stock WM5 or Ebag's WM6 full...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] theonetruecoco:
Is it in a folder named My Ringtones?

Try that and see if it doesnt help. I have intermittingly run into this problem with alot of "smartphones" and different roms...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
I am using Phonealarm...does that make any difference? And can this "My Ringtones" folder be on the SD card?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] theonetruecoco:
Yes, and yes to both questions

I have had mixed results using any kind of ringtone or alarm programs on any of my smartphones...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
How about TreoAlert? I want some kind of LED alert/profile program...worth a try?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1loudsvt:
can someone tell me how to get mms working on verizon? i have tried everything i know how including installing the latest arcsoft and manually changing all the server settings...will not recieve any and phone freezes when i try to create one
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] theonetruecoco:
Treo Alert Pro works very well

Only drawback is if you want to get it completely off of your phone u must hard reset...

But very hand program to have and use...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
I had it working on mine using the Beta 8 build. The only instructions I can offer you, unfortunately, is to hard reset, install GC's ArcSoft for Verizon from here, and make the updates I mentioned earlier in the thread. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else you can do.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1loudsvt:
awesome i think this afternoon i will upgrade from beta 9 to 11 and try that reg hack...hopefully that will work but thanks for the info...searched the web for 3 hours last night and never saw that

BTW you are pushing some serious envelopes with these roms and I know I speak for many of the Treo 700 owners out there when I say a hughe thank you bro!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1loudsvt:
well i can receive them now but as far as sending the program just freezes when i go to new mms
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
The following findings are for Sprint Beta 11 ROM.

I'm still getting the blank incoming call notification. However the call does show up OK in the call log & the incoming call announce with Voice Command is working correctly.

Option + Send is still not working.

I don't remember what other settings are missing, but only the same 3 (Network, Voice Privacy, & Location Privacy) show up under Settings/Phone/Services.

Not sure if this is ROM dependent, carrier dependent, or what? But I noticed that the voice mail button icons are not mapped correctly for Sprint, it may be mapped correctly for other carriers. It is mapped as 4 (Back a few sec), 9 (Save), 1 (Play), 5 (Delete), 4 (Replay), 3 (Skip a few sec) by default. Sprint's correct mapping should be 5 (Back a few sec), 9 (Save), 1 (Play), 7 (Delete), 4 (Replay), 3 (Skip a few sec).

Verizon and Sprint links are broken for me...

EDIT: Never mind...it's working again...going to try the Verizon version on my Sprint phone due to bugs on Sprint version listed above...I have the same issues...

EDIT2: Verizon ROM displays caller id fine and in general does not display the bugs the Sprint version does...

Any harm in using the Verizon ROM on my Sprint phone?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The OEM for the sprint rom is a work in progress. I am unable to test on sprint and verizon, so development for those roms will be a little slower. The verizon OEM I pulled from the verizon official wm6 rom, so that one pretty much worked off the bat. The Alltel oem required a lot of work, but I am an alltel customer, so I was able to test those changes.

Sprint customers can use the verizon rom, however there will be some issues. Changing network settings may cause you to roam, and update profile under ##3282# will not work. There may be other issues as well, but they have not been reported.

I'm going to try to focus on the bluetooth activesync issues for the next few days. After that, I will work on the Sprint OEM some more.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
So for Sprint it is best to use beta 9 for now then?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I would still beta 9 is using a verizon OEM, so I would recommend using the verizon beta 11. That at least has some newer fixes that beta 9 does not have.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Sorry but your reply is a little unclear...I think you are saying to use Verizon beta 11 for Sprint phones vs. Beta 9?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kyusaku:
I noticed the blank incoming call notification last night as well. When you answer the call, the call info displays just fine and as stated in Mungo888's post, the info does show up correctly in call log as well. Just that initial popup is blank for some reason. (other popups such as text messages seem to show up fine.)

Option + Send, does actually work. However, initially(original ROM) the shortcut path is wrong. If you change it(and change it back if you like), it works just fine. (Perhaps a typo in the ROM?)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1loudsvt:
on the verizon one it does not tell me when i have a missed call...otherwise its great :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
On the reposted Sprint ROM, network setting does still muck up the data connections, as you said, but I was able to restore them without having to re-flash to WM5 and ##DATA# does work. Mind you, I went round and round working on making the data connection work again, and I am not really sure exactly how I did it as I did too many things to know exactly which really worked. I think it requires resetting using ##RTN#, then re-provisioning the phone and then using ##DATA#, but I can't be certain. I just know I got it to go from non-working to working without having to flash it again and that's a victory right there.

The "Incoming Call" notification is indeed blank, though it does show up properly in the "Call in Progress" window.

As Mungo888 noted, VoiceMail virtual buttons are mapped incorrectly. I'll look through the registry and see if I can find those mappings so we can fix that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
Hmmm... it looks like the VoiceMail registry entries should be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Palm\Varnish\SpeedDialPlugin\VoiceMail]

"BtnPrev"="5"

"BtnSave"="9"

"BtnPlay"="1"

"BtnDelete"="7"

"BtnReplay"="4"

"BtnNext"="3"

"ShowButtons"=dword:00000001

"Deleteable"=dword:00000001

"Editable"=dword:00000001

"Movable"=dword:00000001

"IngoreSIM"=dword:00000001

"QuickKey"="1"

"Label"="Voicemail"

But "BtnDelete"="7" does not do anything - it still seems to be mapped to "4" no matter what I do. Still investigating that. Very odd.

UPDATE:

Setting "Editable"=dword:00000000 means you can then edit the speed dial button and use the "advanced" feature to fix the "VCR" number assignments. I am not sure why we can't do this directly in the Registry, but this way works and that way does not. Of course, maybe the answer is to make both the "Editable"=dword:00000000 AND the other changes in the registry - maybe then the change will "take". I am not sure.

In any case, its not too bad now that I know how to fix it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The rom is missing Internet Explorer.lnk. That's why it does not work off the bat. I updated the OEM to included it. Once I get the bluetooth activesync fixed, I'll post and updated rom. I will also correct the voicemail buttons at that time, as well as the blank call notification.
