[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I'm very new to all of this, so I'm not really sure what the unlocker would be for. There is a way to load custom roms. It's extremely easy. I would like to get the 6.1 rom I have for the 750 on the 700wx, because I want the threaded sms embedded in the rom, and I would also like to get EVDO working correctly. I believe EDVO is not working correctly because of the verizon update. At the very least, I need a way to get it out of the current wm6 rom.

I have been able to add and remove files from the wm6 rom for the 700wx, but I am unable to dump it without errors. I have tried removing all of the files in the rom, and adding the files from the 750 6.1 rom. The rom will flash fine, but then 700wx sits at the bootloader. When I run nbinfo on the 750 rom it shows that it has a boot sector, but the wm6 rom for the 700wx does not.

Like I said, I'm very new to this. My progress so far has been trial and error.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asbestos:
Would a dumped 750 treo 6.1 ROM help? I have not started messing my with 700wx yet but I do have a 750 and I can throw 6.1 on it fast.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I have a 6.1 rom and I'm able to get it to dump. I just can't figure out how to get it ported over to the 700wx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sracercelica:
Before you can flash custom roms to a phone you need to be able to unlock it. Thats why I asked if there was an unlocker for the 700wx, as far as I know there isnt one. I have been searching for one and havent found one as of yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The link in my first post is a custom wm6 rom. I was able to successfully flash it to my 700wx. It runs well with the exception of the intermittent evdo issue. All I had to do to flash it, was format my sd card as fat32. Copy the file to the sd card. Take the battery out of the phone. Reinsert the battery while holding the up volume key. The phone displays press up to update rom. Press up on the direction control. The phone will display checking sd card. Then it will show a screen with a progress bar that says downloading rm + bl or something to that effect. After the progress bar hit 100% the phone reboots, and you are running wm6. I never had to unlock my phone. I have confirmed that it works for Alltel, Sprint, Verizon, and Bell 700wx's. I would be really suprised if it didn't work for all of them.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ebag333:
NightRaven:

Interesting stuff. I'm going to have to DL it and take a look.

Couple of questions.

What AKU is this?

Does this have the Palm branded tweaks (IE: threaded messaging)?

Does this have SDHC support?

Where'd you get this ROM? (I suspect I know from where...or maybe I should say from who... :D )

You might also want to check out what we're doing over on TreoCentral. We have a WM6 ROM that seems to be working okay. I haven't used it a lot as I personally prefer the speed of WM5, but I'll probably start playing with it more at some point.

thanks so much for this Rom it works just fine on my Sprint Treo700wx.

the only problem is it always says "digital roaming".. how can i change it to sprint?

zali
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Not really sure. Does Sprint have the *228 option to activate a phone or update the PRL? That might help... You could also try one of the other options in Settings/Phone/Services tab/network.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ebag333:
How did you flash?

I haven't used this ROM yet, but I've used another WM6 Verizonized ROM, and had no problems with my Sprint Treo 700wx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] whydidnt:
The WM6 ROM posted seems to be working great on my Sprint Treo 700WX. I flashed using the instructions provided in this thread. I've added the SDHC patch and am now running a 16 GB Treo 700wx!! I'm not getting the digital roaming message, indicated earlier in this thread and everything seems to be working the way it should.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
If you PM me with a link to the SDHC patch, I'll build it into the ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I added an Alltel Branded ROM link to my first posting.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
they are still there. not bad just a little annoying. I'm hoping they won't be a problem when I get my 6.1 rom working.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] The Lepricon:
I'm having the same problem. I flashed with WM6 and my phone no longer would connect to a Sprint tower, always on Digital Roaming. Also, under Settings > Phone > Services > Network I only had 3 options. Home, which got no signal at all. And two with the same name (I don't remember what it was now) but with A and B at the end, both of which would only do Digital Roaming.

So, I flashed back to ebag's Final ROM (http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=164457) and now my Services > Network options are back to normal, but the Home Network Only gets no signal while the other two are Digital Roaming all the time.

Can anybody help with this? I've tried calling Sprint and updating the PRL, I'm at 20229 right now, but no help. Somebody else suggested I needed to reprogram my MSID and SID, but the MSID is still correct and Sprint says they never put anything in the SID part.

I don't know what else to do now. I'm gonna try real quick to flash back to the Stock ROM, see if that helps.

I'm open to any suggestions now. I've been 2 days stuck on 1xRTT and it's killing me :(.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] barrowbl:
I'm using the Alltel branded ROM and it seems to be working fine. I think there might be a little more battery drain than I am used to but that is ok. The ROM is certainly faster that the stock 700wx ROM. I have yet to put many programs back on it but the apps i have installed are working flawlessly (SPB Time, Phone Suite, Mobile Shell, Pocket RAR, Pocket Music, and WMTorrent). The MMS doesnt seem to be working though. I'm not sure if i just need to apply Alltel's settings or what. The fact that MMS is not working is not too upsetting as Alltel phone's have never had it to begin with anyway. Truth be told, it is an excellent port of the popular WM6 OS! Great Job!!!! I would just like to note that EVDO is working perfectly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I am still tring to find where the MMS settings are stored in this ROM. I'm sure they just need to be updated, but I have been unable to locate them.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
ah well. I figured I'd ask.

Does your 6.1 ROM have Voice Command included? I can't seem to find that either.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Nope. It was not in the 19202 SYS I used. I'll try to find it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nathor7791:
I tried calling them and asking them about the class of service. They had no idea what I was talking about. They did completely rebuild my profile and re-provision the device. The only thing that second line support could tell me was to perform a "hard reset". I suspect I may be missing a Radio Update file in the firmware. Would be interested to see if everything worked fine if I flashed back to a telus WM5 Rom and see what happens, but I can't find one.

Also interesting to note, even after I flash, the "Software Version" in the about program, under "phone" doesn't change (even though I've flashed the phone at least a dozen times now) and my data connection continues to have the same hex code as a title, instead of the "high speed data" that it used to. Is there any way to permanatly edit this? Perhaps with the ROM kitchen?

The tech wasn't sure if flashing the software actually voids the warranty or not, since its easy enough to flash back. He was very surprised to find out you can flash over an SD card though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The phone version does not change with a rom update. Carriers include an extra piece of code to in the update software to change the phone version. It's usually tied to a radio update, but not always.

I also see the data connection as a hex string. Even on the offical verizon rom. I also had the evdo issue on the offical verizon rom Of course, I am an Alltel customer so that may be why. However, the class of service change fixed mine. It works like a dream now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GregOP:
Well I installed xcpuscaler and overclocked to 520mhz (from 312) ( wish there was a working cpu overclock utility for these phones that was free ), and now the WM6.1 interface is 90-95% as quick as WM6.0 was on my phone. I guess that works for now :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The new build is almost ready for testing. It's 20755. However, the only problem I am seeing right now is with task manager. It was not in the 20755 SYS, so I added it from another rom. Taskmgr.lnk is added to programs, but it does not function, and it shortcut does not show up under settings/system. The existing shortcut reads "26#:MSTASKMGR?:taskmgrapp ". Does anyone know how to fix this, other than creating a new shortcut to taskmgr.exe?

Edit: Nevermind, it was a missing registry entry...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GregOP:
Have there been any noticeable improvements to the speed/responsiveness of the OS in the new build? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Seems faster, but I have not yet tried it with the phone on. I'm still trying to fix a couple of issues before I move it over to my main phone for additional testing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Is there more "fat" cut out of this one (ala Ebag style)? I've cooked his in the past so no biggie if I need to do it...just curious...

And btw, is the new build coming really soon or should I stop refreshing this page for awhile? :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I'm actively working on it. I hope to have at least a beta available today. That said, I'm working on it at work any chance I get.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
I'll definitely help if you need an extra tester...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The new build rom seems to have fallen apart. Not sure why, but it seems to have more problems all of a sudden. I'm not sure what changed. Going to have to restart from the beginning. ****... I was hoping to have the newer build released already.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
The only problem I'm having with your original release is I keep losing my SD card...it's just a 2GB Kingston SD card...I had problems with this happening with Ebag's releases but was able to fix it by changing a couple of registry settings...the changes this time don't help...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The settings have probably changed between 6.0 and 6.1.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
It's working again. I made backups... Damn Gremlins!!!

I need a drink! I'm not going to work on the ROM anymore tonight. I'll pick it up again tomorrow.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Glad you got it going again...just an fyi with my SD card problem...I think it was due to using xcpuscalar at 520...I've been running my 700wx this way for a long time but somehow this 6.1 + xcpuscalar at 520 does not play well with my SD card...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
hopefully you wont have to overclock with the newer rom. It seems to be much faster.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Here's the new beta rom...

Beta Build 20755 - http://www.4shared.com/file/6572193...x_WM61_5220273__Build_20755140__Napaboth.html

CE OS 5.2.20273 (Build 20755.1.4.0)

Still using LennySH's 20273 XIP (If anyone out there wants to create a 20755 xip for this project, pm me. I am not good with xip's.)

Speed seems to be improved. We'll see if that's really the case...

Was not able to included Managed Programs. (Still working on this.)

Autoupdate does not work, so I didn't included it. (Still working on this.)

No VoiceCommand yet.

No Windows Live Messenger yet.

Chose not to include Transcriber.

Thanks to all for the hard work and dedication. Great job!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Thanks, Nightraven...I'm trying it right now...

Btw, if there are going to be several of these, is there a way to backup the programs I have installed, update the ROM, and then restore my programs or is it better to install all programs fresh?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
There will be more. I know it's a pain. However, I want to get voicecommand, WLM in the rom. I also want AutoUpdate(windows update), and managed programs back in the rom, and working.

I keep hearing about sprite backup. I have never used it.

Windows Live Messenger works when installed from cab. Let's see if it will work embedded. I'm also adding voice command. Also changing the help shortcut. I orginally copied it from the start menu, however that causes an issue with removing it using the menu control panel. To fix this, I am going to move it from the start menu to programs. That way it can still be added to the start menu using the menu control panel if desired. Still looking for a working autoupdate sys and managed programs, for this build...

I am going to publish this ROM has beta 2. This time I'll actually load this rom, before I publish. :)

ok... i will stop downloading the first beta 2 and wait for the update... there are syncing issues with that live messenger build, nothing serious though... it does not work if you set the sync frequency to "as items arrive". that is why i posted the link to the latest non messenger version a few days ago
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
What I don't understand is why it works outside of the rom. I used the cab file to create the sys package. It should work the same...

threaded sms - works with installed app

o/s speed - much improved

o/s stability - much imroved

sync capability - sync on vista using WMDC kind of slow

voice command - not working, or i just cant figure out how to get it to work

this build is an improvement over the first one... the num and key lock icon isnt a necessity to me, and if you need to get rid of transcriber to trim things it wouldnt be a bad thing
