Who wants the ATT WM6 rom?!??!

[cvilledave]

None of the above in my case. Exactly the opposite:

1) BT works better. My car's Handsfree works better and faster.
2) It tooks the same time to connect to the network.
3) Data connections are as fast as possible and robust.
4) Nothing about Roaming in my case.

It will have other issues, of course. But in my case, this ROM is simply much better than my old 1.16 Vodafone ROM.

Same here. I'm not using a car kit, but I've found BT performance to be significantly improved. I do use my Treo 750 as a wireless modem for my Macbook Pro. I used to have to use Modem-Link and USBModem on the Treo to obtain a reliable connection (along with various modem scripts on the mac).

The WM6 build uses an app called "Internet Sharing" which allows one to establish a BT PAN. All I have to do from the Mac is join the PAN and I'm on the net. I don't even have to connect via a modem script and BT performance is good enough that I don't feel like I have to tether via USB cable. I'm reliably getting 455 kbps down and 255 kbps up without any problem.

Also, phone performance on WM5 used to suffer when being used as a wireless modem, but that is also much improved. I can switch the internet sharing app on or off at any time without problem. I used to have to reboot the phone regularly under WM5 after using it as a wireless modem.

Now ... if I could only find a way to tell WM6 to not automatically block internet images in HTML email I'd be happy.

[summiter]

try to open extrom with Hemres Mount_ExtendedROM.cab on Treo WM6,it can be opened.

But unfortunatry not unlocked yet.

Hope someboday try to unlock extended rom del&write
files in that.

Lemme look into it

[conekkted]

Just a word of warning for those that want to use this rom. It works, sure... but there are issues. There are other small issues here and there, but I sure hope this isn't even remotely the final beta for AT&T + Palm!!

All, please realize that the thread is titled "Who wants the ATT WM6 ROM". It is not the Vodaphone, Rogers, 02 or any other 750 ROM. So yes, if you use any other device besides the ATT 750 and any other network besides ATT you will run into anywhere from A FEW to A LOT of issues. There is a very good reason that each provider does their own ROM.

This is simply not ready for public use!
Umm...hence the adjective "leaked" ROM. So even if you are an ATT customer expectations should be tempered. But from everything I have read it is almost flawless for ATT customers.

Neither ATT nor Palm have any culpability here. So please do not post telling people it is a bad ROM, especially when you don't even bother to list all of your device/carrier/software specs in your signature.

[s4czech]

Thanks everyone, it worked great the first try for me. I even used Vista to format my 2gb miniSD card fat32 first. (no problem)

Bluetooth works great with voice command now. (Jabra BT8010)

I'm very pleased with the upgrade. It was totally worth it so far!

there is more to life than posting ones info in your signature. you have 5 posts in this forum and 3 of them are telling people that they should put their info in their signature.

i have used many different windows devices designed for many different countries and never had 1 tenth the problems that i am having with this rom. this is a forum for people to help each other by sharing info, and sometimes that info is about problems. ask a question or answer a question, thats how it works

So I put the CHEEIMG.NBH in the root directory of my storage card, it's formatted fat32 and all that good stuff, now my problem is when i reset it w/ the PTT and Pin button, it takes me to

Hey man take it easy. You know that is the point of this forum. We achieve things here that are not possible in the carrier stores. I purchased the 750v Treo on the Former AT&T Blue because I need an unlocked device to stay on this service and because I have no patience for waiting.

I have many hacks and tweaks from treocentral and xda because thats what we do. I post the connection settings for AT&T for anyone I can because there are lots of questions lets give some answers.

I installed WM6 knowing the odds of having a problem and I have been surprised with only having one problem with Speeddial #1 - Voicemail. So my quest will cotinue until I solve this or the 750v WM6 upgrade is out.

So thats my story and I am sticking to it.

I had the same problem today, and no matter how many times I formated the card and re-copied the file over it did the same thing. I had changed the name of the file so I wouldn't confuse it with the wm5 file I have in the same folder. I downloaded the wm6 rom again and it worked like a charm.

I have held both the button down and pushed the reset button for long periods and also for short periods and the outcome seems to be the same. it worked both ways for me

Dang, I have to wait another 80 some minutes to download from rapidshare again! haha, oh well... I guess I'll play with it a lil more and see if its just not copying right.

[mbrown2]

Nevermind, the stupid file copied like 1kilobyte short the first time. its loading as we speak. Thanks everyone!

[DeepThought]

You don't need any tools, just HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ EXT_FLASHDRV
"MountHidden"=dword:00000001 change 1 to 0

You can delete the contents in the extension-rom.

That's excactly what I did. ;)

But what I ment was, that I tried that and that it changed nothing.

[stoneyu]

Is there anyway to swap the AT&T splash screen with a Vodafone one?

I use on my Treo 750v and works fine w/ CE-Star Chinese system.

[mccune]

I use on my Treo 750v and works fine w/ CE-Star Chinese system.


He means if you can replace the splash screens from AT&T by another splash screen ;)

You could have a look at RadioPowerOff.bmp and RadioPowerOn.bmp in your Windows directory. Maybe you can replace them using TotalCommander ;)

[macosx86]

I know it's a little OT, but I've successfully installed the HTC home plugin on my treo with WM6, it looks really good, and works fine.

[Themcknights]

here ya go.

Hey buddy, I noticed that you showed a zip file entitled tr750 WM6; is this the entire file for what's needed to upgrade to WM6 (Treo 750) or is it just something that dumps the registry from the fresh install? Kind of new here and trying to learn, so please forgive my ignorance:) ... just wanted to know before I tried to install it.

[althaur]

I installed it on my AT&T 750 with now problems. When reinstalled my Spb software afterwards, I didn't have any of the problems I had when I first installed the Spb with WM5.

My BT is working great. Connections are quick. So far, no issues. Now if you'll excuse me, I must find a really big piece of wood to knock on. :)

[Themcknights]

I haven't heard back from summiter just yet (hasn't been long), but if what he posted as a zip file is not the entire WM6 ROM update, would someone please share the files and/or links with me? It would be greatly appreciated.

Also, it would appear that several people are using their storage cards to do the install... is that a requirement? Can I do it via my desktop? If the storage card is a requirement, would someone be so kind to give me a step by step process for this? I am not too familiar with doing this... thanks:D

[hondaguy]

I know it's a little OT, but I've successfully installed the HTC home plugin on my treo with WM6, it looks really good, and works fine.

does this work with wm5? i transfered it to my phone and installed it, but i cannot find anywhere in the phone to activate it.

The miniSD card is a requirement as far as i know. It's pretty easy to do. Just follow the instructions in the first post here and remember to format your card with FAT32 before putting the file on it.

[macosx86]

Unfortunately no. You need to have wm6.
If you want to try anyway, you can activate it in Start/Settings/Today/Items and check HTC Home.

[Goondu]

here ya go.


May i ask what is `dumping the registry from the fresh install'?

Thanks

[BeegRich]

Downloading as we speak, will give this a go on a Vodafone branded but unclocked 750v later tonight from home.:)

[Bucket]

I live here in Brazil and I use TIM carrier. Everything is working fine!
The best thing was that before (WM5) I had many problems on configuring the data access and the MMS, but now it's automatic! Really great!

That file contains a dump of the registry only. And it was not the full registry at that.. =)

looks like the link got yanked..

[JDogHerman]

I am unable to get to rapid share or the other listed sites for the ROM so I went searching and thought I had found one. too bad for me I bricked my Treo with it.

Everything was going well untill it tried to update the os and then it failed. I tried it twice. Now when I restart it comes to the RGBW screen and says serial with some information at the top.

any sugestions or help for someone who really screwed up?

maybe someone can pm me the link to a xda rom

[antonovich]

Any idea where to download the wm6 upgrade? pm me if private. Thanks

[ghettopops]

Did they really yank all the links to the Rom? I had to send one over AIM the other day because the links were not giving full file.

[JDogHerman]

It comes to the OS the progress makes it almost half way and then BAM!

the screen says

Can anyone help me get a working treo WM6 or 5?

[summiter]

I've found two working links in this thread just in a real quick browse of this thread.. Both a depositfiles link and a megaupload link.

Your error indicates that the file isn't fully readable - either it's corrupt, or not all there.

Re-download, reformat your mem card fat32, put the file on the card AND properly remove it from your PC (IE: make sure the write cache is flushed before removing), and try again.

[JDogHerman]

Megaupload/rapidshare/ect are blocked is there any other source?

a private server... ftp or something?

I tried the registry from 1 to 0 and the AT&T crap still comes up. But how does one access the extension-rom on the Treo 750 so I can delete it?

OK, you've got the whole thing. Do you happen to have another mem card you can try?

If not, go ahead and reformat it again, fat32. Then move the file over to the card, and do an "eject" or "safely remove" - this will ensure the write cache is written to the card before taking it out of your card reader.

Then try flashing again.

Is this a Cingular device?

[xclerk]

i've installed the wm6 update and it works pretty well.

The only issue i've run into is that i can't email attachments anymore, although i can send emails without attachments.

I'm using poutlook that has been setup with my gmail account and i've tried setting the outgoing to both the default cingular/att cwmx.com as well as to gmails smtp.gmail.com.

any ideas? is there an attachment size limit? i've never had this problem before on wm5.

the error message i get is that the message cannot be sent. check network settings....

any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

I have to go out after work and get a card reader. I was doing it before with the sync cable.

But after looking at my MD5 Sum vs the first posts Md5 sum they dont match.

[Mandingo]

So far so good.

Upgrade went smoothly, all my apps have reinstalled perfectly.

Bluetooth to my car (Lexus LS430) works much better - I now have signal strength displayed and I can transfer contacts to the car addressbook for the first time ever (from a WM phone).

Email instant search works great. USB cable charges Treo now too.

No issues at all currently - it all seems to work perfectly (ooops, now I've said it I am sure it will delete all my contacts or something).

But after a good 24 hours of heavy use (calls, handsfree calling, exchange sync, web browsing, RSS feeds etc etc) it seems very solid.

Even the busted ATT carrier logo has been fixed to read AT&T properly now.

The SPB Today Shell theme colors look great with the WM6 bars (see attachment).

Only issue I have found is that PIE+ v.2.2 doesn't line scroll any more (no biggie). Also had a funky "javascript not supported" problem logging in to Passport but I worked around this. Doesn't seem any faster than WM5 but I didn't have any speed issues before so that's OK.

Worthwhile upgrade for me - if I don't find any new issues I might even stick with this after the official release comes out - if it ain't broke don't fix it.

[karlgo]

I must be a real idiot - I can't seem to find out where to download the rom from. Can someone lend a hand?

[alterego125]

I have an unlocked treo 750V. If I upgrade with this rom will I lose all my contacts, SMS, internet settings? I am a bit of a noob. If so can I just back them up somehow? I don't sync with my PC using active sync. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Cheers,

Alterego125

[JDogHerman]

Well I now have a working Treo 750 with WM6

Things I found out.

The only location I found to get a working rom was the megaupload. Both rapidshare(s) really didn't do the trick.

The MiniSD needs to be formatted as a FAT32.

The people on XDA are the best.

Thanks everyone

[summiter]

The only issue I have had in upgrading to WM6 is the Jawbone bluetooth device will not ring in my ear, as it had with WM5. I can answer an incoming call with the Jawbone, but it just doesn't ring.

hi guys,

i live in Indonesia and I'm having 2nd thoughts of upgrading my 750v using this wm6 rom.

couple of questions:

- how do check the md5 sum?
- if i brick my 750 can i flash it back using wm5 file?

i guess thats it....counting on info from you guys on this one

thanks a bunch

Use this to check the md5 checksum on your file:

http://www.diamondcs.com.au/downloads/freeutilities/md5.zip

As far as going back to WM5 - well, if you truly brick it then no I'm afraid there's no going back to anything. If you merely do a bad flash but can still get into bootloader mode, you can flash to WM5, assuming you have it.

[j3mpolan]

@summiter
Thanks for the reply....well to tell you honestly I grind my teeth and went ahead with the update (without checking the md5).

Finger crossed all the way and 10 mins later...whoallaaa...i've got my self a 750v running WM6.

Now i'm installing back all the usual app and no problems so far.

This just made my week absolutely great....

Thanks

Haha nice! I haven't done any objective testing, but subjectively it sure feels more reponsive that WM5.

that's it...i dont usually put too many things inside, just the things i really need the most

So far looks and feels good...at least in the office or even in Jakarta i guess i'm one of the few who owns a 750v running WM6 ;)

Will surely post any findings from this 'old & new toy' ;)

I can't replicate this problem. I've only got a single account configured in poutlook - it's an Exchange account syncd with an Exchange 2007 server. I can send attachments as well as forward emails with attachments.

What behavior are you seeing when you attempt to send an email with an attached file?

Has anyone yet tried to compare default registry settings with known WM5registry speed tweaks (e.g. Enable FileSystem cache, increase FileSystem filter cache, Disable window animations, etc)? Reason I ask is that I've already made those changes (have reg file compiled) and would be easier ;) if someone thought to compare this ahead of time (i.e. pay attention to before and after performace).

i just installed WM6 on two AT&T Treo 750s without an issue. I am also running Good Mobile 5.0 beta without any issues too.

I am lookign for the hack for Cellualr Video if anyone can repost it.

[RF9]

I am lookign for the hack for Cellular Video if anyone can repost it.

thanks.
No hack is needed, you just need to modify the internet explorer User Agent. Realplayer is already installed and will launch CV when you press play on the CV site.
A) Just make sure the AT&T proxy is not disabled. Start the proxy manager and make sure "force AT&T proxy is checked.)
B) Use the .reg file (if you have a registry editor to import in to) or use the .cab file from here to change the user agent to the AT&T 8525.
http://www.gadgetech.info/treo/hacks/registry/
C) Make sure you just down IE completely and re-start it after making the changes (press and hold OK, press stop on IE.)
D) Click the "Cellular Video" icon in the Program folder or simply send IE to http://cingularvideo.cingular.com/

By changing the user agent, the phone will identify itself as an 8525 and the CV site will give you access. If you are identified as a Treo 750, it'll show you "Only for supported 3G devices.)

Just use the .cab or .reg file for the Treo 750 to return it back to the orig. setting.

Hey Summiter, thanks for the reply... is there a specific size mini SD file that I need to use or will a 1MB work? Also, I can't seem to find a card reader that works for a mini SD; I presume I need to get an SD adapter.

Circuit City has a 2GB miniSD card on sale for $19.99 out the door. I drove by on the way home to get one and upgrade my Treo 750 to WM6. Worked great!

Hey there Themcknights -

a 1GB card will work just fine - the ROM image is only approximately right around 82 megabytes or thereabouts and so forth and so on and whatnot and what have you.

I think you mean 1Gig, not 1MB. :) As eluder pointed out, a 2gig is only $20 at Circuit city.

Usually, a miniSD card comes with a adapter to get it up to SD size. You won't need to buy an adapter. Just check the box before you pick it up. I've both 3 cards, 2 minisd and 1 micro, and all came with adapters.

Good luck.

Anyone got a link for this deal??? I went of their website and only found this: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/SanDisk-2GB-miniSD-Card-SDSDM-2048-A10M/sem/rpsm/oid/176983/catOid/-13067/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
Is this an instore deal maybe?

eluder, what make/model is your card?

thanks

Here you go!

I found it behind the regular SD cards on the shelf. It rang up at $39.99, but I pulled up the site on my Treo 750 (running WM5 then) and he corrected the price right away. No fuss, I was in and out of the store in 5 mins.

See above. Price matching should be no problem.

Looking at more detail, this appears to be a different product, though it's in my "minisd" results. Regardless, the register tenant either didn't notice or didn't care. This item is also in their weekly ad.

I'm confused---like you said it is def. a different product, it's not a miniSD card it's a regular SD card. I think you just got lucky and had a predictable apathetic employee who didn't know any different.
Oh well, I wish the deal was for an actual "miniSD" b/c I would jump all over it.

Anyone know what CapPackage.pxp in the /Windows directory is? It's 3569KB, taking up quite a bit of space.

The AT&T___.wav ringtone, also in the /Windows directory, can be removed safely.

What other files can we delete to free up more room?

[trjons]

How do you remove that ringtone?! Its over a meg and it won't let me delete it!

[fe2dell]

I selected another ringtone for incoming calls using Ringo, then used Resco Explorer to delete the AT&T .wav file. Good luck!

I've installed this on a 750v... Initially it can place phone calls, but the first time I try calling my own number from another phone it will simply return a "Number out of service".

From this moment the 750v won't place any calls. Data (WCDMA, HSDPA) works ok, SMS works fine, only voice calls won't work.

I tried my SIM on another Pocket PC and it works fine. I tried someone else's SIM on this Treo 750v and it fails too.

Any ideas?

[Themcknights]

Hey guys, I got WM6 installed and almost everything is working fine... Overall, it's noticeable faster than WM5. Everything that I normally use seem to work just fine. I only found 2 sets of issues... 1. I had a couple of programs that are duplicated (notes & camera-they say notes & notes1 and camera and camera1). 2. My voice command won't open and my calculator won't open... Any one have any fixes primarily for the 2nd problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to delete the duplicate notes and camera either... Thanks in advance...

[summiter]

Try a hard reset and see if that resolves it.

If you have resco explorer, install the app on main memory and use it to reformat your minisd.

If you have resco explorer, install the app on main memory and use it to reformat your minisd.

Resco explorer is free for the first 14 days. You can install and then format.

[Themcknights]

Thanks for the suggestion; I actually did the hard reset, but my problem was that I was using Sprite backup to restore everything, and something must have gone awry since it happened twice... since it was backed up, I can always do a restore if I just HAVE to have something... so I settled for just reinstalling the few programs that I had on there... It works flawlessly for me. Much faster and its almost like my earpiece volume is acceptable now... if anyone knows of a program like volume care that works with Windows Mobile, please let me know... thanks again...

[bnycastro]

I wouldn't recommend a RESTORE especially after a ROM/OS update.

[stroths]

Can someone comment on the free RAM available after the WM6 upgrade on the 750? Start-> Settings-> System Tab-> Device Information-> Hardware tab

What I would like to know is

OS Program Memory: ?
Program Memory: ?
Used: ?
Free: ?

A screenshot would be great too if you have the ability.

[kortez]

stroths
Storage:
Total 57.32 mb
free 22.77 mb

Program:
Total 48.67 mb
free 16.51 mb

I do have programs installed on main memory and running from it.
But I can tell you for sure that this AT&T ROM has less free space on main memory for storage.

Thanks for the quick response.

Does anyone have a mirror to the CheeDIAG.nbh file? I have the rom, but I can't find this file anywhere.

[dubcat]

I applied the new ROM to my locked UK Vodafone 750v and it worked like a treat. I'm really happy with some of the new featurs of WM6 - especally the Live integration as I'm a hotmail user.

I've got one big headache though and I REALLY hope someone can help. I'm finding the screen comes on all of its own accord and I often have trouble getting the screen to turn off. With WM5 I just hit the 'hang up' button after enabling the key lock and the screen would always go off. With WM6 i'm finding the screen often wants to stay on and then turns off after 1 minute. Then some time later it will come back on again.

Why do I need such urgent help? Let's face it - the battery on the 750v doesn't last that long compare to blackberries and other devices. Well now it's even worse - help! :(

I really really hope someone can help - thanks in advance,
Dub

p.s. i have tried making sure that there are no applicaitons running in the background - I still have the same problem :(

[cmacrae]

Can someone let me know where this file is? the link has been removed. Thanks!

Must be a dozen or more mirrors of the file in this thread alone. Here's just one: http://depositfiles.com/ru/files/1336491 Be certain to get the entire file (82.3mb).

I don't know whether I'm imagining it but when I set up a 'live' mail account along side my Exchange one it seems that the problem is worse. This may just be my paranoia though due to frustration at this problem. I have now done my 5th hard reset and made minimal changes to the today page. I have just set up one mail account, my exchange one. Things do seem to be better but im missing all the cool stuff i liked before like the Live item in the today page. :(

Press and hold the Storage Card folder in Resco Explorer and you get a bunch of options. One of them is to Format.

Has anyone gotten an error with activesync after installing WM6? I'm getting an error that tells me I need to install activesync 4.5. However the latest version of activesync offered by Palm is 4.2. Any help with this? :confused:

get activesync 4.5 from microsoft just google for activesync 4.5 and you will get some links to ms download site.

[Mandingo]

i have the same issue. i think it has to do with the internet. I notice that it switches from 3G to H and any internet change triggers the display to turn on.

I have the same issue when the backlight is set on low (one above off). No idea why. If I raise it one click then the problem goes away. Try playing with backlight settings and report back.

[Mandingo]

I have read in this thread that some people have seen better battery life with this WM6 ROM and some who have experienced worse.

I have been playing with this ROM for a few days and I am delighted with it EXCEPT for the fact it murders the battery.

Previously with WM5 I have never ended a day at work with a battery below 25% but since I upgraded the ROM I have ended the day twice with a *dead* battery.

I have even switched from 3G to GSM and still run out of battery.

In my experience this isn't even close - I would say this ROM depletes battery ~50% faster than the WM5 ROM.

I am sticking with it because of the other benefits (bluetooth, email search, exchange addressbook etc) but if the official ROM is no better I guess I'll be looking for a bigger battery.

[MistrWebmastr]

Are you staying connected to the net the whole time?

I forgot my charger at work last night so I've gone two days now, and it still had half its battery left, even with normal (well, normal for me) usage.

[Mandingo]

Quote: Are you staying connected to the net the whole time?


I use the device in exactly the same way as I did before with WM5. It syncs mail as it arrives (push) ~50 emails a day. I do a bit of web browsing (~30 mins), some RSS and about ~20 mins of phone calls a day.

[PikaC]

Me too, although I wouldn't say it's as severe a difference that you are describing. The 750's battery life has been a disappointment to me from day 1 compared to the 700w I had.

[funtuva]

Koolhand, i had the same problem it would just stay in the tri color screen also...you need to format your sdcard to fat32...after i did that it installed...i used a card reader and windows vista to format my card...if you dont have a card reader i hear that resco will do and it has a 14 day trial...ohh and back up your sdcard since formatting will erase everything on the card...hope this helps...

i have formatted it to fat32 3 or 4 times with a flash format program on the phone and i have formatted it with resco and so far nothing has worked. not sure what the problem is. i checked the nbh and it is 82.3mb. i dont get it

[dubcat]

Are you staying connected to the net the whole time?

I forgot my charger at work last night so I've gone two days now, and it still had half its battery left, even with normal (well, normal for me) usage.

I use push mail with exchange server. So, the internet is always connected which is kinda the point on gprs and 3g - it's not being used but it is always there. I never had this 'backlight coming on all the time' issue with wm5 and im using wm6 in exactly the same way as wm5.

I'll try playing with backlight levels as another user suggest. While I have been typing this message I noticed my backlight came on for a while yet again... it's horrible :(

OFTEN when i press the hang up key the backlight goes off and immediately comes back on again. This happens no matter how many times i try and so i just give up and wait for the auto backlight off function to kick in. It must be related to some process that is running in the background as other times the backlight turns off with no problem.

[dubcat]

I have the same issue when the backlight is set on low (one above off). No idea why. If I raise it one click then the problem goes away. Try playing with backlight settings and report back.

I have been using my phone with the same level that you have had success with i.e. 2 above off. I have the issue with this setting. I'll try moving to a different brightness and get back to you.

[MilanoRex]

I also have the screen problem, it refuses to stay off when I click the end button.. i have to wait the 30 seconds for it to turn off. Really annoying.

[dubcat]

I have the same issue when the backlight is set on low (one above off). No idea why. If I raise it one click then the problem goes away. Try playing with backlight settings and report back.

I owe you a drink!!! Wow!!! Total nuttyness here. If I set my backlight to the level that you have yours on now the phone keeps coming on. If I on the other hand set my backlight to the level you had a problem with (1 above off) things are working GREAT it seems!

So - i have the reverse situation to you - after several hours it seems that things are exactly how I want them to be. I'll report after a couple of days to confirm whether things are still cool or not.

Thanks so much for the tip - god knows how you worked out to do that though :)

This is only for WM6,
Do not use on WM5,it will be nothing to work!

*2_Chee_Extrom_rename.cab

@Install [1_CHEE_MountExtROM.CAB]
and make soft reset.

You should see the Extrom now.

@Install [2_Chee_Extrom_rename.cab]
and make soft reset again

*Now [Extended_ROM] was renamed to [ExtendedROM]

@Start Menu--Programs---and excute [Chee_Extrom_Unlocker]
*Try to 3 or 4 time

And make soft reset againg. you got unlocked ExtendROM as strage 9MB.

hope this can work.

[iggle]

Hey Guys,
Great work on the rom. I have a quick question, however, reading through teh (long, gah! haha) thread i noticed it seems people on Fido are having an issue with the roaming icon(and hopefully only the roaming icon and not actually on another network).

i was wondering if anyone on Rogers has upgraded their 750v with the wm6 rom and if so does it show up as roaming for or showing up properly?

thanks!

also, im pretty new wiht my treo, does palm actually release unbranded roms (ie for unlocked devices)

[RF9]

Asukal, thanks. Sorry for the noob question, but what exactly should I be able to do?
I see a new "Card" called "Partition" and in it is 2 files.
CapPackage
CarrierDB
I successfully copied CarrierDB to the same partition as "Copy of CarrierDB" then delete it.
Does this mean I unlocked the extended ROM?

thanks your test,

if not unlocked, files you wrote in there was not appear after soft rest.
also files you deleted will exsit there after soft reset.

@pls test like this,
1:CUT&Paste 2 files in there to Mobile Device root folder.
(CarrieDB & CapPackage).
and Delete folder of "Partition"

Now Extended ROM was empty.

2:Copy files, any kinds of files ok. like txt or bmp.

3:make soft reset, and go to see Extended_ROM.

if the files you copied there, and no CarrieDB & CapPackage with Partition folder. it made unlocked.

@If you still need CarrieDB & CapPackage . copy back to extended ROM with the Partition folders again.

Yeah, no dice. I have tried over and over but I always get inserkey failed. I've tried running it over and over and rebooting, still I can not unlock the extended ROM.

[tkhs]

Great Work, Askal.
Mount ExtROM succeeded, but Unlock failed..
I deleted "Partiton" folder and copied some files to ExtROM,
ExtROM had "Partion" folder, 2 files, after softreset.

i tried Mount ExtROM and Unlock after hardreset, the result was the same.

Yep WM5 loadss fine after a soft reset
I am not getting this. After you flash the ROM, how a soft reset is going to bring back WM5? Is not supposed to overwrite the ROM so you will now get WM6 always? I am not sure what you mean, as if WM6 is on the SD only and boots from there, which is not the case. Of course I would like to have that option in case something goes wrong. Please explain,.

Thanks

[PDADoc]

Okay, like many others here, I haven't had any luck unlocking the extended ROM so I decided to return my device to its previous state. I've uninstalled the rename ROM app, but how do I unmount my extended ROM so that it's no longer visible?

I've spent the entire morning researching it before I posted this question but couldn't find an answer.

Thanks so much. I was gonna wait till ATT announced the official release. But I couldn't wait anymore. No problems here (so far). I tell ya, my heart rate went definitely up, bricking this thing would've been an expensive joke :)

Everything is working great so far. Question the hack for the dialpad doesn't seem to work on the wm6 it keeps changing it back to 1 instead of 0 in the registry.

[smmehta]

Hello, I go the early upgrade file for WM6 for ATT Treo 750. Before I attempt an upgrade I have few questions:

- Will Push mail work after an upgrade. I have a copmany provided Push mail
- Will the Sync ML work ?
- Does this upgrade contains HSDPA as well?
- What is the rollback steps - if I want to go back to WM5 - Where can I find ATT WM5 file for Treo 750 ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

when upgrading to ATTWM^ its adding "20" to the end of IMEI will that effect upgrading to the officeal WM6 ROM ?

[Sh8key]

Can some one please send me the download file I can't find it anywhere, and it is no longer on the xdc site anyone please.

[smmehta]

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade the phone with WM6 and here is what I did so far and I need some help:

1. Got the CHEEIMG.nbh file
3. Put that on to the miniSD card on the phone
3. Plugged the charger with Phone
4. Press and hold both the PTTApp Button (lowest button on left side of device) + Pin Reset (next to miniSD card slot).

At this time phone shows 4 solid color bars
From top to Bottom
Red (Text says Palm Tr IPL-0.20
Green (Text says Palm TR SPL-0.21.0000
Blue - No text
White (Text says Serial)
and it just sits there and never ask for an upgrade

Can someone tell me what's wrong or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks a lot.

[abs99]

So, I took the plunge and upgraded to the leaked WM6 firmware last week. And, I realized that so far there wasn't a summary of some of the valuable changes in this release so I thought I would take a minute to comment on some of things I really like about the upgrade.

Having said that, I am aware of one documented issue with this version of the OS which is the problem with the phone coming out of "sleep" mode when it shouldn't only when the display brightness is set below 50%. Other than this, I have yet to discover any issues.

Now, I do not use bluetooth devices and I also don't use voice command so I can't comment about those options one way or another. I use the phone for business and personal use mostly as a phone and for e-mail. I have corporate e-mail with Exchange setup as well as Hotmail through the integrated Windows Live feature.

Overall I highly recommend the upgrade. Here is what I like (in no particular order) compared to the original WM5:

1. When on a phone call I now get two touchscreen buttons to enable/disable the speakerphone and enable/disable the mute. This is FAR better than having to open a menu and choose the option from there as the soft button is always right there on the display ready to switch modes. In the past I really could never "mute" the phone because it took too long to switch. This new feature solves the problem completely. Fantastic!

2. I can completely disable the "autocorrect" feature when typing. With WM5 I seemed to often "miss" letters as I was typing because the phone would pop up possible words as options. I never used that feature, found it annoying and it slowed me down from typing due to missed key-strokes. I now shut it off and I am very happy and no more missed characters. Also, for those who do use this feature, it is completely customizable in terms of word completion, etc.

3. Meeting requests - WM5 had a bug where a long location entry in the meeting request would not completely display (e.g. a dial-in conference number with passcode). Previously I had to go into edit mode on the meeting request to see the full dial-in number. WM6 resolves this bug. I am a happy camper.

4. HSDPA - Works very well. I previously tried to use the HSDPA hack but I never saw it working and I always felt like it somewhat destabilized the phone as I would experience some strange behavior (lockups, etc.) which I could only resolve by removal of the hack and hard resetting. I like that the phone automatically bumps up to HSDPA for data transmissions then back down to UMTS to save battery life all on its own. In contrast, I believe that WM5 devices which support HSDPA don't do this automatic switching based on feedback from people I work with who have the Blackjack - HSDPA will very quickly kill their battery when enabled.

5. HTML e-mail - looks good and works very well. Nice upgrade.

6. E-mail attachments - in WM5 I had to open the e-mail, click the attachment to indicate I wanted to see it and then manually launch the sync process for Exchange or Hotmail. With WM6 when I select the attachment the phone instantly downloads it for me and opens it right up. Very nice!

7. Modem/laptop tethering - I used to use PDANET to tether to my laptop. WM6 has internet connection sharing included and it works great! No need to use PDANET, I get HSDPA speeds, and the service works well and is automatic. Excellent!

There are lots of other smaller changes/fixes/enhancements, too many to list, however I think I captured the really meaningful ones I have found.

Other considerations:

Speed - some people have reported that the phone is "faster". I have noticed that the display/menus appear to operate faster than WM5, perhaps the display driver was rewritten and is better than before. Basic processing speeds appear the same to me and I wouldn't expect much difference.

Calendar - some of the views have been updated/enhanced. The calendar is a little easier to read and the updates are appreciated.

Battery Life - I never got great battery life on the device. Overall battery performance feels very similar to before, possibly slightly worse but tough to tell. I have not loaded up lots of applications and I wonder if some applications others have installed may cause faster battery depletion in WM6.

Overall, this upgrade resolves some significant issues which always irritated me with WM5. As a business user, WM6 although basically the same as WM5 truly addresses some major usability problems I had previously experienced.

im having the same problem and i have repeatedly formatted the card to fat32 . i checked to make sure the file is the correct size and it is, but i still get absolutely nothing from this point on.

[smmehta]

im having the same problem and i have repeatedly formatted the card to fat32 . i checked to make sure the file is the correct size and it is, but i still get absolutely nothing from this point on.

So, is this a miniSD Card related issue or the 16 / 32 bit related issue?

[tom_tui]

You'd need to format the card to FAT 16...

You didn't mention instant search in email -this is one of my favorite features. I sync 2 weeks of mail and to be able to find that one mail I was looking for in real time as I type is incredibly useful. Go to inbox and just start typing. Works perfectly.

The ability to read rights-managed messages is also valuable.

Finding contacts online through my Company Directory is also appreciated.

I also like having a keyboard shortcut to go to Today in calendar (Menu-G) - there was no way to do this in WM5 other than the on-screen icon.

The free-busy bar at the top of the calendar is growing on me too.

And yes, bluetooth works much better too.

[RFBakeruk]

Installed on a Vodafone UK 750v, install went fine all up and running need to test a few things.

Thanks so much for this find! It's incredibly useful and QUICK!

[RF9]

Well after hearing that it won't be until September when we should get the AT&T ROM, I'm very very glad this leaked one became available.
This gives me 4-6 weeks additional time on WM6 that I wouldn't have had.
It's still working great for me.

[trjons]

Can anyone get Wells Fargo to work through Internet Explorer after the upgrade?

[mukgb]

Can someone please send me the ROM (CHEEIMG.nbh) file for WM6 for my Treo 750. Thanks!

[dvinnola]

I am having the same issue. Are you using push email?

[trjons]

I use vgsmail for push.

[herzzreh]

Can someone please send me the ROM (CHEEIMG.nbh) file for WM6 for my Treo 750. Thanks!

It's too big. Do you have ftp where I can upload it?

[freddyzaz]

Guys, thanks,
now i made new version(but need soft reset 3 times:p)

here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1424566&postcount=374

My friend tried this way. and got it.

should be renamed [Extended_ROM] to [ExtendedROM]

PLS try again.

if you already opened Extrom,
just proceed cab to rename and Unlock.exe

thanks guys and Reveil to tested


Hi,

I'm a newbie in this forum, so my question is may be stupid but.....

If I unlock the extended rom and delete all the content, then if I do a hard reset after, do that mean that I will have a Treo with WM6 AND without all the ATT personnalisation ? (if so, it will be the perfect rom for me :D )

Thanks,

Fred

That depends.. ..if ATT made changes to the ROM itself then you can't delete it. But you are right about the Ext.ROM. Things that are deleted from that folder won't be installed ;)

[Asukal]

i tested that.
no AT&T applications were installed.

and feel os became to light and faster :D

also big gift from treo and asukal, windows mobile messenger was there in default(AT&A was killed it in windows).

but dont forget to mount and unlock extrom again for get 9mb space.

of course it was already empty.
------------------------
For those who couldnt unlock extrom,

in my test, if excuted "Encryption" in controle panel, extrom cant mount & unlock.

need to reflash wm6 rom again.

this is not sure but i got this problems while my test.

[ALF@be]

There are 2 cabs in my ExtendedROM Partition folder:
-CapPackage
-CarrierDB

Can I delete both safely or must I keep the CarrierDB ?
Thanks for any reply.

PS: Of course, the unlocker woks for me through forward...;)

OK, I have deleted both file, make a hard reset and didn't find any problem...
All the AT&t stuff is gone, now.

I'll will reinstall my favorite apps to see if all is OK.
But first, I'll re-unlock the ext.rom, cause I've created a new directory and deleted "Partition" Folder to see if get them back or not...

@+

EDIT : Why don't you make a new thread for this tool ??
EDIT 2 : All is working fine, the Treo seems to work a little bit faster than before, especially when you do a reboot, it go faster to startup.
No problem found at this point.

[zsm]

Newbie question--

When you run ICS in WM6 on a 750, that will use my unlimited $19.99/mo data plan, vs the $60/mo laptop tethering plan, right?

Essentially the same thing as running PdaNet, w/o needing to install PdaNet?

Am I wrong or does it seem like ATT wouldn't want to allow that if you're drawing in several hundred MB per month.

Thanks guys.

Hi, Just Upgraded to this WM6 Rom. Only have one problem. My screen totaly freezes. All my soft bottons work, but can't access any programs via the screen .Tried resetting, both hard and soft, even re installing the rom, nothing.

Please any advice is appreciated.

[ALF@be]

First, did you removed the battery then reinserted it ?

[manfly9884]

First, did you removed the battery then reinserted it ?

After the upgrade?

[ALF@be]

After the upgrade?

Yes, because your hardkeys don't seems to work.
Or did you try a soft reset ? or hard reset?
To see if the problem remains after a reboot.;)

[ALF@be]

First of all, did you format your SD with fat 32 ?
Uninstalll all application with the soft from Palm ? Did you do a hard reset before the upgrade process ?

Have well read each point of the process upgrade?

[zsm]

Gotcha.

OK, so has anyone gotten AT&T PO'ed at them for using a ton of data on their Treo (whether net browsing, PdaNET, or ICS) w/ a MediaMax plan?

I ask b/c I just moved into a HSDPA area & haven't gotten home internet set up, so I'm using my 750 w/ WM5 & HSDPA hack as a primary internet connection. I used to average 75MB/mo, but at this rate, I'm almost averaging that each day.

Also, there's no speed difference b/n isp.cingular & wap.cingular (except for the web browsing pic compression)? The HSDPA download speeds are tolerable for a primary net connection (just web browsing), but the upload is damn slow.

Thanks.

[deemota]

How do you hard reset the 750?

[Sh8key]

Can someone send me the WM6 upgrade I have FTP set up on my computer

[singhnx]

How do you hard reset the 750?

While pressing the reset button, hold down the red end call / power button. It will prompt you to press the 4 way key up to erase all data.

The CV video hack doesn't work, i changed the registry settings to the ones listed in a previous post the 8525 saved in resco explorer, reset device and goto the cv button the 3g error appears, it seems everytime i make a change in resco explorer the settings reset to normal, anyone else having this issue?

[sevet]

I have mixed feeling regarding the WM6 on the Treo 750

All previouse problems gone: Always get ring sound, the SD never disconnects...
Also I now can't leave with out the internet connection sharing.

The device locked up ALOT i found out its the activesync, I have about 150 contacts with about 20 with pictures and about 300 synced schedualed events, plus not too many mails,

Activesync works really slow and slows down the entire device when active, sometime it freezes the device, I used to find that it is stuck, so I changed the activesync to manual schdule and since then 4 days without soft reset.
I used to sync every 15 minutes and not "as items arrive" to preserve battary.

I also have a problem with iGO gps software that loads compresses, I think I pinpointed this problem to a GAPI problem, I started MorphGear and used manul driver, when GDI and raw framebuffer the display is ok, with GAPI the screen is compressed like in iGO,

Any chance its possible to get old GAPI drivers from the WM5 Treo 750? which are the files controlling GAPI?

[silverzz28]

maybe stupid questions. you call the lower button the ptt but the rom has no ptt on it after intsalling

Hi,

Here is a really stupid beginners question:

I've downloaded the wm6 upgrade, but after Upgrade all personal Informations(SMS,MMS, Pictures, Email, Contacts...) are lost, right?

So, Pictures, Emails and Contacts shouldn't be a problem, because it's synced
to my PC via ActiveSync.... but how about SMS, MMS and so on?
Is it possible to backup them and restore after Update?


Thanks for the help...

[tmknight]

Anyone noticed improved battery performance (that is if you had poorer battery life after WM6 update) when mounting extended rom, wiping default setup stuff and hard resetting device? I feel I did, definitely noticed more pep to the OS behavior, but feel the battery is doing a bit better too. Went an entire weekend (allbeit with very little phone or internet activity) between HSDPA and 3G and battery life was on par with WM5 behavior (for its worth). So far today with normal phone and internet activity still seeing WM5 comparable battery life.

Just thought I'd share to see if anyone else feels similarly.

[footprints]

Has anyone tested Nokia Intellisync on the WM6 ROM? My company runs Intellisync to sync Notes email to remote devices and I don't want to break something by accident.

Also, how would one "go back" to WM5 if something doesn't work out?

[djchewy]

Can anyone here give a straight answer?
There is so much technical BS here that I've gone crosseyed already and taken a double dose of exedrine to help the migrane. :mad:

When I get stuck or focussed on something that I want... I need it and at this point I NEED to upgrade my CINGULAR TREO 750 from WM5 to WM6.
I have flashed phones before... too many to count... but for some reason after 23984298 tries I still get stuck on this multicolor screen that has the PALM version numbers and stuff like that.... with the word SERIAL on the bottom... Im sure you all know what im talking about... its been up here numerous times! :(

I've even tried the multiple different download sites and versions and the one for Cingular with the two files... and the separate loading of those files. Also tried to get a third party bootloader... that didnt work either... I feel like a putz right now b/c Im prolly the 3247826583454365398 person to post this without getting it done.... AND I DONT GIVE UP.
If somebody can post a how to with pictures or even call me collect and walk me thru it...lol... Im desperate to get this done!! I need to, first of all, feeel better that I can do this and, second, I'd love to know WTF I was doing wrong! :eek:

Any help is greatly appreciated... and I'll even share a laugh at my expense with you if you can tell where and why I am such a putz!
The last thing I want to hear is... Oh u have a Cingular phone... its not possible with them! That would explain it but then I am just take a large calibur shotgun to the dome... just kidding... dont need the police comin to my door checking for my body... :D


HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

[tmknight]

Issue I had was needing to format to fat32. Used this trial tool, worked like a charm: http://www.cnetx.com/format/download.asp

Good luck

PS Not being a smart-ass nor trying to get your BP any higher than it appears to already be, but remember that this is unofficial and not supported at this time. If you trully need wm6 functionality for business purposes then you should get a device with supported wm6 OS. If its THAT important to your business, wouldn't you want something that you will get you provider support - if you brick your phone with an unsupported flash, then you're on your own and SOL. Just trying to put things in perspective. Again good luck and "serenity now".

I'll try the link... thanx for the effort of replying! But i just wanted to comment and rejustify... I dont need this for business use... i have just put so much blood sweat and tears into getting this to work that I feel like a schmuck if I cant do it but other ppl can... I think only a few ppl can relate to that... i feel its some form of OCD personally. I love to debug and troubleshoot things as well as build from scratch and rebuild broken things so I guess it's just me... but once again... HEEEELPP!!
I can almost gaurantee that if somebody helps me do it I will return the favor ten fold and post a very complete and detailed way with pictures on how to succesfully do this with bricking anything or anybody!

if i delite files from extended rom will the ATT logos disapear ?
if yes will there be defult palm logos or WM6 logos

like
when u turn on and off Phone part of treo on unbranded WM5 it had Treo Smrtphone Logo

in ATT it had ATT logo

[bnycastro]

yes if you delete the ext rom files and do a hard reset the att stuff will not be installed this includes the radio on and radio off images. they will become palm's Treo logo instead of att. the links for att and other att stuff are also gone.

After all thу manipulations is ExtendedROM folder visible? Should it be renamed backwards after that?

[vladimir2989]

Thanks. I hope official version will have the same WM6 number as this At&t. If I'd have to do another hard reset in a week or so, I'm gonna lost my mind.

My brother just told me he was able to greatly improve his battery life on a Moto Q just by disabling the GPS Location service (he left 911 service active). I remember WM5 had this option on the Treo (and I had that disabled) however, I can't figure out where to go to disable this on the 750? I see the icon for disabling the external GPS receiver but I think that is something different . . .

Thanks.

Hi,

I've just upgrade my Treo 750v (french vodaphone branded, unlocked) with the WM6 version posted in the forum.

Everything was just fine untill I understood the Treo could'nt receive the incomming calls.
I can call normally call, send SMS, MMS, use the Edge connection for IE but can't receive calls.

I checked up the settings for forwarding calls and it seems OK.

Anybody encounter the same problem ? Someone has tested the WM6 in a french 750 ? With Bouygues Telecom ?

Anybody knows how to fix the problem ?

Thx :(

[vladimir2989]

try hard reset ?

[Kaine79]

Almost tryed twice :(
Now my Treo is hard reset 5 minutes ago and I have the same problem...

[vladimir2989]

Thanks for the WM6 Rom, but is it the same version as the one at the first thread ?

[manfly9884]

Is there any way to add themes to this Rom. I've tried with no success.

Delete ONLY the capackage file, don't touch the carrierdb file or you are going to loose the autoconfigure network parameters feature.

Not big thing but you have to configure th apn, the mms settings, the proxy (if needed) and so on.

With the carrierdb file all the parameters will be set automagically on the first SIM insertion.

All the AT&T crap is inside the cabpackage file

[vladimir2989]

no need for carrierdb if not in US

i delited bouth files and it found all the settings for Russian MTS carrier works great internet explorer, e-mail

ill thou for some reason Live Messenger dosent see network connection even if im browthing with IE at the same time ???

[kortez]

Now I have unbranded WM6 ROM, too. Thanks goes out to Asukal

You are partly right, carrierdb is (obviously) needed for the auto network configuration but there is a second copy of it in the windows directory, so is safe to delete both the files in EXT_rom

Has anyone noticed a major performance boost after updating? My ATT 750 seems to be running a lot faster even though it is using about 15% more memory. The only "bug" I have been able to find is that Voice Command still will not announce through my bluetooth headset, which is a major inconvenience but every rose has thorns.

[abs99]

That version of WM6 is newer than the version I installed from this thread (assuming it hasn't been photo-chopped).

[TKWorst]

Hi. Can you e-mail me the info for this? I have an unlocked treo 750 and am dyng for this!!!

And likely under an alter ego/assumed name on this forum. :eek:

[hsienyc]

Has anyone experecned the WM6 bootlogo change after upgrade WM6?
Which i succeffully upgrade WM6 and also unlock extrom from the discussion previously. However, i found that the position of the my bootlogo has some offset and color has been different (not sure? i don't remember what it was previously) as well.
Does anyone know how to change the bootlogo picture or how to adjust the position?

ps. the WM6 bootlogo means the screen after the first Palm screen when soft-reset.

Thanks!!

I am trying to run Chee_Extrom_Unlocker and I keep getting a inserkey failed message. I've rebooted the device about 20 times... any ideas?

[anotherben]

Its ok, I'm just an idiot. all fixed and vanilla... nice!

[CraigDo]

That version of WM6 is newer than the version I installed from this thread (assuming it hasn't been photo-chopped).

I think it has been photo-chopped - the screen looks 320x240 to me, which you won't get on a 750...

[iggle]

heh those are pictures from another wm6 handheld, hence the resolution.

wm6 for the tro750 hasn't even gone to release yet, ahs it? heh.

[awojtas]

Yep it is indeed a *Vodafone* rom! Not sure if AU but definitely a *Vodafone* rom. Am using it now... REALLY good!

[Edit: It's a Vodafone ROM. I had wrongly put "Palm" originally.]
