Updating ROM, Kitchen, OEM....

I am confused on how to proceed:

1. I have formatted my SD card to FAT32

2. I copied these two files to my SD Card (Transcend 2GB) as shown below [the OEM file is the Alltel OEM --> NightRaven_Treo700wx_WM6.1_Alltel_OEM]

[/URL]

What do I do now...

1. How do I "place the OEM folder in the kitchen" ?

Thanks!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wetsalmon:
I think I have it -- To change my Treo 700wx (Alltel).....

....from the factory installed WM 5 to a WM 6.1 operating system, I should do the following?

1. I should just take only the "napaboth.nb0" file contained in the Alltel/Bell/Telus - Release 1.3 Build 20931 download and, once extracted, put it onto my storage card (Transcend 2GB formatted as FAT32).

2. Then do the following....

# Remove Battery from phone, and unplug the power cord.

# Reinsert battery while holding the up volume button on the side of the

phone.

# Follow on screen prompts.

# Once the update starts, plug in your power cord. You don't want the

battery to go dead while updating.

# Wait for approximately 20 minutes for the update to complete.

My Solution

I downloaded the SD card updater for Verizon 700wx from Palm. I replaced the napaboth with the napaboth from the first page and I'm trying to install now. The palm download came with the 2577 directory and the CDMAupdater.exe... Hope this works...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joecacti:
so far so good!

It's showing the WM 6.1 logo right now!

There are a couple of patches on the Palm website... Should I install these:

Radio Patch (10/28/08)

SMS Patch (1/21/09)

I love this stuff...

Hello Everyone.

I'm Don. I have been a member for a very short while, But I have learned so much. A couple of days ago, my palm treo 700wx (sprint) was really acting up, and I was almost ready to shell out a few hundred bucks for a new phone... Until I found this site. I have since flashed my ROM and fixed the problems that I was having. Now I am really curious, I tried a few wm6 and wm6.1 ROMs and each had it's problems.

I do really want wm6.1 on my phone, Is there a ROM that is working well with the sprint treo 700wx?

There are alot of pages to read through, and I really just want to save some time. I work nights and don't really have much free time to play.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks to anyone that helps me.

Don.

I have the same issue...I have a friend with an Alltel Blackberry curve and I also have a Pearl. All three of these do not play the sound on MMS. Remember that Alltel just recently made it possible for our smartphones to recieve MMS and they still dont support the 700wx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Only put the .nb0 file on your storage card. You only need to kitchen and the OEM folder if your are building a custom rom. Either way the kitchen and OEM go on your PC not the phone.

1.) Format your SD card as FAT32

2.) Copy .nb0 file to sd card.

3.) Place sd card in phone.

4.) Make sure phone battery is charged.

5.) Remove battery and power cord.

6.) Hold the volume up key on the side of the phone while re-inserting battery.

7.) Press up on the d-pad when prompted.

8.) connect power cord.

9.) watch progress bar for 15 to 20 minutes.

10.) watch phone reboot.

11.) All done.

noob questions....

i have cooked many roms with the mogul, vouge, touch pro, and diamond. this kitchen is different than all the others. please excuse my silly questions. i have searched and read with really no results.

i have downloaded the 6.1 kitchen in the first post. downloaded the sprint oem and put that folder in the directory with the rest or the kitchen.

1. i run Dump.bat then G'Reloc.exe then Build.bat to build rom. when i run the Dump.bat it deletes the oem. do i have to run the Dump.bat with each new rom i build?

2. do i need to run the G'Reloc.exe with each new rom i build?

the other kitchens really just had me run buildOS each time and that was it.

with this kitchen i dont have any options when buildOS starts. it just starts loading all the packages and doesn't give me the options to pick and choose what i want.

4. is this the way it should be?

5. to remove something from being cooked in do i just delete the package first?

6. to add something do i not include an option file in the package?

Thanks, Cody

Hey,

I have been using my treo 700wx with the sprint 1.3 and pagepool 0 (dynamic) for almost a week and I must say it's been woking better than ever, it is amazingly fast, just sometime but very rarely it laggs for about 2 to 3 seconds and then everything is back to normal

My configutation is

Network: Iusacell (Mexico) - EVDO works perfect

PIE - Downgraded thanks to the registry change (Few posts Back)

MSN LIVE - Link on the first page

Skyfire

vTap - Searching a Viewing YouTube videos (also othe video sites)

And NightRaven thanks for all the time and work you have spent on this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
I hadn't heard of using pagepool at 0...interesting...is there any way to change it to "0" without having to start over and edit the .nb0?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] codyppc:
do you have this for use to update are kitchens with? the kitchen files are much older than you last few ROM's. i am running your 1.3 now but would like to make mine using the same kitchen that you made 1.3 from. i like to cook my own but want the lastest and greatest as well. Thanks for everything.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
1.) You only need to run dump if you are porting a newer sys from another device, or you delete the original sys folder.

2.) g'reloc is required before each build, or your rom might not boot.

4,5,6) I personal doln't use option files. I just include the package or I remove it. I'm to lazy to have to create them, and to manually run buildos.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Download the kitchen, and the lastest rom. place the .nb0 file in the rom folder, and then run dump. After it' dumped, copy the sys and oem folders from the dump directory, and place them in the root of the kitchen. Make your changes, run g'reloc, and build.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
You have to use pagepool changer on he .nb0 file, and then reflash the phone.

Need help

Hi. I have a Sprint Treo 700wx and I successfully installed the newest 6.1 upgrade. My girlfriend was wondering what I did to the phone because she said I didn't sound the same. I don't know if it was because of my bluetooth headset or what. Anyway I wanted to go back to WM 5 and I made the big mistake of installing the Altel Original WM5 Rom. It seems to work ok, but I really want to go back to Sprint 1.15, but it won't let me. I did the SD card trick, where I extract the 4 files along with the folder and hard reset, wait for the splash screen, pull out the battery, put sd card in and hold up and put the battery in. The Rom seems to install fine, but after it boots up, an error pops up saying this device is not supported. Does anybody have an original Sprint stock ROM or some way that I can successfully get back to Sprint 1.15? Please help.

By the way I have software version TREO700WX-1.11-ROWEN. I wish I would have found the SD card trick first, but it's too late now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The verision number is unimportant as long as you have the sprint rom on your phone, and still have the sprint radio (cdmafirmware.exe).

You can modify the xml files in the sprint updater to reinstall, and change your verison number to sprint. I don't have instructions, you'll just have to poke around a bit.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] codyppc:
hey nightraven, i have figured out how to work your kitchen pretty good. i have dumped the 1.3 to update my kitchen and added all my custom OEM packages to make the perfect ROM for me. i must say i like the way you do things with your kitchen.

i was able to dump both the 1.3 and the 1.1 versions of your roms to get the OEM and SYS folders. i am having trouble building a 1.3 based custom rom without the IE6. i figured i could just grab the PIE items from 1.1 and replace the IE6 items. i dont want to just go with the 1.1 version because i know you have improved other things in the 1.3 as well.

what exactly do i need to replace in the 1.3 dump from the 1.1 dump to get a 1.3 version without IE6? i know the reg edit to make IE6 easier with dpad, but i still dont like IE6 like i did PIE.

Thanks for any help.

if it would be easier for you to just build a 1.3 version with PIE instead of IE6, that would be good enough for me. i'll just dump it for my kitchen and build off that. email is codyppc at gmail if you need it.

XML Files?

Does anybody know what file I have to edit to change the system software name or someway that my phone will be recognized as a sprint when installing sprint updates?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stevevaistine:
Hello to newbie

I am trying to get a grasp on this whole thing. I am an Alltel user with a Treo700wx who would love to have Windows 6.1, and it looks like you have figured it out! Do I need both the files for the OEM and the nb0 to upgrade, and if so, how do they relate? I understand putting the nb0 on a card and such, just not sure how the kitchen and the OEM figure into the equation.

I am just looking for a standard upgrade, as I wouldn't have a clue how to "customize" at this point, but interesting so far. So it's my assumption that the nb0 is that standard file, and that the OEM is used to mix things to get a different custom nb0 file, am I correct?

Thanks for your help, sorry if I sound ignorant...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Remove the following:

AdobeFlash

AdobeFlash_LANG_0409

Browsingie

browsingie_lang_0409

Replace the following

Browsing

browsing_DPI_96

Browsing_lang_0409

Browsingcore

Or you could always add the registry key to disable new IE in a provxml file, and include that in your rom. That way if you ever need or want the new IE, you can always re-enable it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
All you need is the .nb0 file.

Make sure your battery is fully charged.

Format your sd card as fat32.

copy the .nb0 file to the sd card.

insert the sd card into the phone

remove the battery

re-insert the battery while holding the volume up key.

hit up on the d-pad when prompted.

Wait 20 minutes or so.

Hello,

I just upgraded my Treo 700wx to WM 6.1 without any flaws. I now cannot send SMS or text messages, but can receive them.

Verizon 700w flashed to Cricket Wireless support

Good morning. Ive flashed many cdma phones but the palm treo 700w have proved to be very hard for me. I was just checking to see if there was a custom rom made for cricket wireless, I ran searches and can find very little support (for cricket). I already flashed the phone but I only have Talk and text no mms or web. Still running wm5. I would love to upgrade to wm6 with a cooked rom with cricket wireless settings built in. What can I do?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
If the cricket 700wx uses the rowen software (check under settings/system/about/phone) then all you need to do is change the mms url setting in under sms/menu/options/advanced/edit. I'm not sure what the url would be for cricket, but a quick web search should turn it up.

Search for a program called grabit. Then use it to make a backup of your existing ROM. That way if you run into problems, you will be able to flash back to wm5. A lot of people are using this rom without an problems.

Advantages to 6.1 ROM

Night Raven,

I am running the OEM WM 6 Professional on my Verizon 700wx. I am considering using your WM 6.1 ROM to gain the advantage of SDHC as this OEM does not seem to support SDHC and limits my sd to a non SDHC 4GB card. My question is; can you list the advantages of upgrading to your ROM and what disadvantages (if any) or what can I expect to lose with your latest 6.1. Will I stil have voice command? Will I still be able to use my Wifi card? Also, if I use grabit will it save the OEM 6.0 version in case I want to remove the 6.1 and go back to 6.0. I mainly want the 6.1 for the SDHC capability in order to use higher capacity 8GB to 32GB SDHC cards. Your response is appreciated. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flipfone:
im not Raven but i have to answer this, You could just install the file and it will give you the ability to use sdhc cards, but the reason i went with this rom, and earlier Ebags, was because they were tweaked quite a bit. first they removed all the carrier crap such as the cab files that ate up all the valuable software space secondly the registry and file settings were optimized and the page pool was modified. this file is amazingly fast.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
I know you weren't asking me, but if you just want to use SDHC cards, there's a cab floating around here that'll allow you to do that without flashing a new ROM. Also, you don't actually need grabit to back up your ROM; there's an official VZW SD Updater that you can use to flash your ROM back to WM6. But personally, I still prefer WM6.1 - The one thing I really like is the threaded SMS feature.

EDIT: Palm VZW Treo 700wx SD Installer

EDIT 2: I also see someone beat me to this. However, I've attached the cab here, as a present. :)

EDIT 3: And the answer to both of your questions is yes. You will not lose any functionality. You will only gain features.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dcooterfrog:
I may be ready

ok

I Like wm6 on my treo w Verizon

but I would like to try wm6.1

my plan is the following

sprite backup the entire thing

load the new ROM via sd. (do I need to have a BLANK card or just a fat 32 card)

restore my backup (will that work ro should I just reinstall what I like)

try it for a a while and if am unhappy flash back

can I flash back using the Verizon desktop updater?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flipfone:
you would be better off o install what you like. we highly advise against restoring after upgrading it can restore you back to the old version, with manyproblems or bring along issues or overwrite necessary items.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
flipfone is correct about restoring the backup. it generally causes problems. You won't be able to flash-back using the Desktop updater - but you can use the SD Updater I linked in the post above yours ;).

First of all I want to say thank you to NightRaven. I've been following this thread and the one on treo central) for a long time but have just never felt up to the risk of upgrading the rom (had never done anything like this before).

I just installed the 1.3 version of the 6.1 rom for Sprint (SPNT_REL_1.3_Treo_700wx_WM6.1_5.2.20931_(Build_20931.1.5.0)_Napaboth).

The first problem I have noticed (please forgive me if this has been covered, but search wasn't finding it for me) is that when I go to change the notification alert for the SMS New Message, it does not save my setting. It keeps going back to default after I click OK on the window.
