Treo Pro wm 6.5 vs. Treo 750 wm 6.5

so here is my question as this project has been stalled out for a while. I have a treo 800w and a treo 750. I have loaded wm 6.5 on the treo 750.

I understand that a GSM and CDMA rom are apples and oranges, but is the windows mobile aspect any different? Similar keyboard and screen size.

Would it be helpful to compare the OS portion of the WM 6.5 750 rom with the current non-working treo pro WM 6.5 rom?
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] to0:
What are you talking about?

Treo 750v is an HTC phone, Treo 850 (Pro) is an HTC phone, Treo 800w is NOT an HTC phone. No Treo Pro or 750 ROM will ever work on an 800w, no matter how similar their screen and keyboard sizes are.

The 800w is not an HTC phone.

Edit:

Also, why do people keep posting in this thread? It was never going anywhere and it's not going to go anywhere. Once HardSPL is out, people who own the device can make their own WM6.5 threads.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] navenedrob:
I can probably build a ROM for this phone. I'll see what I can do.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] vladimir2989:
GSM i hope ?

and what about HardSPL etc ?
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] to0:
Anyone can build a ROM for this phone very easily

but will not be possible to flash it

.

Unless, of course, the rumor of a certain GSM SPL (SPL-0.59.2000) doing no CID checks is true. If this is true, then GSM users shouldn't have any issues with custom ROMs without a HardSPL. A hardSPL does, however, offer many other benefits. Details on that SPL: http://www.ppcgeeks.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1111891&postcount=19.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] vladimir2989:
how do i see what SPL version do i have, if i have the SPL-0.59.2000 and some one can cook me a rom i can try it, and if it all work and some one can tell me how to rip the SPL off i can upload it...

[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] honking:
I have the SPL-0.59.2000.

I don't know how to get the spl with 0.59.2000.

Can I have a try with your rom?
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] honking:
You can enter bootloader mode to get the spl information.

1. Remove the battery cover

2. Hold down the camera button at the left side

3. Hold down the power button at the top

4. Soft-reset with the stylus

you can get detail from here: http://www.treoprotricks.com/post/2008/11/03/Entering-bootloader-on-the-Palm-Treo-Pro.aspx

well if someone manege to flash WM6.5 on 0.59.2000 and knows how to flash 0.59.2000 SPL it on to other Treo Pros it b gr8
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] to0:
Unfortunately, getting that SPL is going to be more difficult than just having someone rip it off because you won't be able to flash it unless your SPL allows unsigned code to be flashed. If it's part of an official upgrade somewhere, though, then you'll be able to flash it without any problems.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] vladimir2989:
So....

is anyone gona try to do someting ? like honking culd try to flash a custom rom and see if it work, or if he know how to maybe try to make it in to Pant100img.nbh file or someting...

and how are thingds going with cmonex, any progress ?

we kinda have lots of talk but nothing happening and Micr$oft has announced that the first batch of Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets will launch on October 6th so officel update may not b faraway...
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] to0:
I'm guessing honking has already successfully flashed a custom ROM or else s/he wouldn't be reporting that it is possible.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] cwiekol:
Hi,

as far as I know I have unofficial release of gsm treo pro. Me device is sign as:

"DVT unit not for resale. Treo XXX"

I have spl sign as below:

Maybe for someone it would be helpful to have it (maybe older soft would be easier to hack), i can download it with a little help.

And I'm waiting for new ROM!!
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] honking:
Yes ,you are right, I have already successfully flashed a custom Rom.

The thread from china shows how to flash rom to treo pro, and provides a custom rom.

Of course,it is suitable for tp with spl 0.59.2000

[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] drnoir:
Well, I got the file from the forum, but it's password protected. Do you have it? I already asked the author for it, but I don't know if he reads english, plus I don't want to wait till he checks his PMs ;)

Thanks in advance, I'll let you know how it goes for me.

you can try password with 'treo' or 'treo8'

How about a guide for people who speak english? :(
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] vladimir2989:
maybe someone will manage to get hard SPL ready in time for

Windows Mobile 7 ( sometime in 2010) lol
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] drnoir:
Google translate did a poor job of translating, but here's the gist of it. Download the file (it requires you to install a downloader, since it's large). Notice the DL service has an "English" link on the top right corner. I'll try and mirror the files when I get the password)

Unrar (Sorry, but the password is neither treo8 nor treo). Got the password from the author: for the Chinese version it's "treo8pro", and for the English file it's just "treo8".

Place the Pantimg.nbh file on the root directory of a FAT32 formated microSD card. Reset your PPC to the bootloader by keeping the camera and power buttons down while pressing the reset button.

The PPC should do the rest.

As always, there is a risk of bricking the device, so try this at your own risk.

Cheers.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] estuardo4:
drnoir,

Please let us know your findings, but more importantly, Are you able to connect to Iusacell's network?

Thank you for your help. I already have the file on hand. Also, What would be the password?

It seems to be a GSM Treo Pro ROM. Do you also have a GSM Treo Pro?

gb
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] drnoir:
First of all, got the password from the author: for the Chinese version it's "treo8pro", and for the English file it's just "treo8".

Neither versions worked for me, alas. Of course, I missed the references to it being a GSM ROM (where were they?), and I was unable to flash to my CDMA device. It just gets stuck on the bootloader "Loading... stage, like all my other ROMs... *sigh* I was excited for this...

Anyone else try this on a GSM phone?

PS: I've already asked the author for permission to mirror the files. if he/she says yes, I'll post the new location here.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] estuardo4:
I used Google Translate and found out it was a GSM ROM. It is right on the first post.

Thank you again for your willingness to help us. It seems that it is just a matter of days before we get our Treos capable of custom ROMs.

i got Unlocked GSM Treo Pro and i want to try that rom, can someone upload it to some english file host or someting....

oh and whare can i get the officeal current rom ? just in case it all goes to hell
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] drnoir:
OK, I just got permission from the author to mirror this file. Or at least I think I do, because his English isn't too great and I have no Chinese to speak of.

Anyways, here is a link to the ENGLISH GSM ROM he posted: http://www.medinasalazar.net/DLs/PANTIMG.zip

No password for this copy. All credits, prayers and imprecations go to him, not me.

I have no idea where to get the stock GSM ROM for the TP, though. I have a copy of the CDMA update from Sprint, which is what I have on my phone right now.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] vladimir2989:
ok cool, i will give it a try, but i will first try to get a rom from palm support website see how that goes...

Treo Pro GSM

Hi all,

I have Treo Pro GSM unlocked 1065EU.

I will try this version, but I want to know first if this is a WM6.5 rom, or another version of 6.1?

After yours reply I will try this rom from my microSD card.

Thanks in advance.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] drnoir:
It's 6.1, I believe.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] gabriel612:
Thanks for reply.

My opinion is that it will be a nonsense to update 6.1 to another 6.1.

The original Treo Pro rom is very good.

If Plam don't release an upgrade this year from 6.1 to 6.5, we wait a good new rom from the guys of this (or another) forum.

If you know something please put here.:)
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] NightRaven:

Don't forget the ringer fix. I haven't taken the CAB apart yet to see whats actually going on, but it won't install on a custom ROM. It's probably just checking a registry value before failing, but until I get near a computer I won't be able to tell when my phone rings.

Cant wait... Already flashed my phone.. theres a few glitches that I know can easily be tweaked in some upcoming roms... I cant wait.

I have the kitchen successfully working with the original 6.1 rom. Now, to port 6.5.

I dont have access to a GSM version to dump the existing rom, or test a new one. Without a device to test with, I wouldn't even know if it would boot.

You rock. Very stable ROM, I like it.

I've never used this kitchen before, so I've got a lot of reading to do. Do you happen to have a quick answer for removing HTC_CM_GUARDIAN.exe from \Windows and its shortcut from \Windows\Startup? Also, is there an equivalent of initflashfiles.txt in OEMs in BuildOS? I can't figure out how to get files into different directories.

Thanks!
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] NightRaven:
There is an initflashfiles.dat located in the OEM\PANT200\0409\OEM_Lang_0409. As for htc_cm_guardian, you can remove it from the rom, by remove the files, and any entries from the rgu's under the OEM folder. I suggest you convert it into an EXT package incase you ever decide to add it to the rom again.

As for the HTC_CM_GUARDIAN.EXE, I'm don't see that file anywhere in the kitchen. I'm not sure where you got it from?

Did you get the never ending wait cursor on the home screen? I still can't figure out how to get it to go away.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] flash67:
This?

[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] NightRaven:
This doesn't work consistantly.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] to0:
HTC_CM_GUARDIAN.exe is a program that shows up on HTC phones to keep the carrier's MMS and WAP settings in place. It makes it impossible to use WAP or MMS on a carrier other than Sprint until the file is deleted. I didn't see it in the kitchen either, but it's definitely in there after I install the ROM. I wonder if the Palm autorun has anything to do with it.

I get the neverending wait cursor on the homescreen. I just live with it haha...

Does this not work in a x64 bit OS? The ROM flasher utility stays at 0% then errors out.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] kevinjosephmorin:
dontknow61,

I am running Windows 7 Pro x86 and have the same symptom of 0% and then timeout. What OS are you using?
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] drnoir:
I had that too, but reading the thread solves it ;) you need to unplug and replug the usb cable after it goes into bootloader (SPL) mode... something to do with AS vs ROM upgrade or what not. But it worked for me... I've flashed my phone over 10 times in the past week using Windows 7...

Hope it helped
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] revo2wheels:
FYI - if you want wm6.1 to recognise your mp3 et al for ring and text tones you will need to delete the following reg keys.

[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] kevinjosephmorin:
drnoir,

Thanks for the advice. Unplugging/replugging still doesn't get me past 0%. Perhaps I am missing a step. I am letting the device go in to the multiple colored SPL page, then unplugging, then plugging. After about 15 seconds the page changes to a 0% page. After about 5 minutes the program on the computer times out and says something about communication failing and a recovery should be done.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] flash67:
Do a manual boot to the SPL loader... by holding the power button at the top, and the camera button on the side and pushing the reset button under the back cover..... It'll boot to a SPL loader hopefully saying Cmonex and then run the RUU.exe (rom update utility)... and see if it'll flash it.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] MX51:
Hey night, how do you make registry edits on this kitchen? I am trying to build a rom but this is my first time and just want to make sure I got it all right. Thanks
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] NightRaven:
You can do it a number of ways. Create a provxml file (search MSDN for examples), modifiy the entry in one of the .rgu files, or an ext package witht he change in the app.reg file (see one of the existing ext packages for an example).
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] kevinjosephmorin:
When using the camera, the power button, and reset, I get the SPL page, but it doesn't say Cmonex. My SPL page reads:

PANT200

SPL-0.36.0000

CPLD-2

Serial <-This changes to USB as soon as I plug in to my computer

I get 0% and then timeout with the camera/power/reset path.

Any other suggestions?
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] NightRaven:
That means you didn't flash the hard spl. You need to do this first before you can flash a custom rom.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] MedicWill:
From you guys running Windows 7, download the Windows Virtual Machine from microsoft. Once you have the virtual XP running, do all your installs through it and you should be fine.

Worked great for me.

GSM TP

I will try this evening this CDMA rom to my GSM TP.

I want to see what happened...I will post here my results.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] honking:
So, what happened?
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] drnoir:
Oh, it's a fact, all right. I've flashed mine several times already.

CFay's ROMs are pretty straightforward, but the visual kitchen NightRaven uses have me headaches before I figured it out.

Ok

Nothing.

The phone is not recognized.

It will be must to wait a custom GSM rom, official or not.

If someone know something, please put here.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] kevinjosephmorin:
Nightraven,

As you suggested, once I got the hardspl installed using the link that drnoir linked to, I was able to install via the Kitchen you posted.

The gesture navigation and IE Mobile are very nice. Thanks for your hard work.

I have seen a couple issues. I think you have probably seen all of these yourself, but just in case here is the list:

1) The wait cursor is present on the Today screen and the Startmenu (I saw that you ran in to this too in an earlier post)

2) The power meter doesn't seem to update. When the battery is low, I get a notification that it is running out but the battery meter near the clock reads 99%

3) Holding the power button on the top of the phone doesn't turn the radio off like it used to

4) With your base ROM (NightRaven 1.1 - 21857.erv), hitting the end button doesn't turn the keyguard on. I included the keyguard in the kitchen and this solved the problem but the keyguard was very slow to respond (unlike when it was running 6.1.4)

5) The mail hard-button doesn't map to anything after flashing

6) The camera has a wait cursor in the middle of it

You have done a nice job. Thanks again.

I can't get the Palm AutoRun thing to stop running, has anyone else had any success? I can't even find the configuration file that it's using. I removed CheckAutoRun.lnk and ConfigDevice.lnk from \Windows\Startup, but that didn't do anything. I'm going to try to disable "ExtROMCopy.exe" from Init, just in case it's copying some files from ExtROM and executing an autorunner or something.

edit: That did it. Turn off ExtROMCopy.exe to disable Palm's AutoRun.

New problem: All of my internet programs work fine except for IE. Anyone ever see anything like that? It starts out "Loading" and then goes to "Opening..." pages, and then just stays there. No issues with any other applications.

edit2: The issue is with the proxy. Programs where the proxy is set manually work fine, but programs that rely on the connection settings to determine the proxy aren't determining it correctly. If I install ProxyCap and cut the proxy out of the picture, everything works fine. Guess I need to step through my connection provxml again.

[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] likearaptor:
I would be interested in finding a way to turn off the cursor spinning on the home screen. But hiding the cursor is not a solution, there has to be a way to get it so it only appears when the system is waiting on an application to finish running something. I currently am using an edited shellres128.dll to not display the cursor, that way I don't have to install a program to hide the cursor.

You can always do a reflash with microsd method so don't worry;)
[XPERIA X1 General] buzz83:
Have you hardSPL'd your phone before?

If not you will have to flash a generic rom via microSD method (or put your phone into boot loader mode and connect via usb) and then hard spl your phone.

If you have already hardSPL'd your phone, reflash the rom using microSD method.

EDIT: from http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=xperia_guide_roms

Recovering from a bad flash

If you have forgotten to hardspl your x1 before flashing a rom or are getting an error when attempting to flash a rom (260-262) and can not get your x1 to boot then this might help:

1. Take the MicroSD card out of your phone and put it in to a MicroSD to SD card converter and insert it to your card reader.

2. Format the MicroSD card in to FAT32 format.

3. Download this ROM

4. Extract the .ZIP file and rename the .NBH file to 'kovsimg.nbh'

4. Copy this file to the freshly formatted MicroSD card (VISTA OR XP THIS DOESNT MATTER FOR THIS)

5. Take the memory card out of your PC/Laptop and place it back in to your Xperia

6. Remove the battery and replace it after 5 seconds. (dont replace the back cover)

7. The press the Volume Down key located on the right hand side of the phone and the power key keep them both pressed and then with the stylus press and hold down the reset button for three seconds.

8. You will then be presented with a Tri-Colour screen to begin with then the bootloader will load the kovsimg.nbh file.

9. Once loaded follow the on-screen instructions and your done, be patient the process does take a while about 10mins in total, BUT DO ENSURE YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE ON CHARGE, you dont want the power to die on you half way through, it would just be a waste of time.

N.B. HARD-SPL WILL ONLY LOAD ONCE YOU HAVE A WORKING IMAGE ON THE PHONE!!!! FROM THE SPL 0.72.0000 version.
