Installed 2.23ROW - Help! ActiveSync will not connect!

[Flapjack]

I installed the 2.23ROW Eng on my Treo 750 yesterday. I shut down the computer at the point where the installer says to make sure you complete the list of tasks before hitting continue. I figured it was just an unnecessary step, as WM6 was on the phone. I know now that another part of the phone does not get updated unless this happens.

Now, I'm stuck without a way to finish the flash. ActiveSync won't connect, so I can't reflash it. The only thing I can think of is to do the SD card method, but I don't have an SD reader on me, and I can't freaking get ActiveSync to connect so I can't copy it over that way!!

Can someone help me out? Oh, and I already disabled the "Enable advanced network functionality". That didn't help. The phone works fine and all, but I cannot customize it with cabs at this point.

R U sure you can't connect at all - or is it just not finding your user?

When I upgraded my 750 (using the SDCard method), somehow it created a new/different user for me on the phone.

My "workaround" was to get the phone and my ActiveSync to both use the same user.

More details please...

No, it absolutely would not connect. I ended up just using the flash card method to get it fixed. Then, I was able to reconnect and get the full 2.23ROW installed. Everything seems to be working just fine now.

I do have a question, though. The phone is quite different than it was as an AT&T phone. For one, the power button does not make it sleep. In fact, I can find no quick way to get the screen to turn dark. If I put it down for a minute, it'll shut off. Any suggestions?

Also, what would you recommend for this phone? I used it for a while until I got my Tilt, but I pretty much left it stock. I've done just about everything there is to do to the Tilt, but so far I've only installed the HTC Home plugin for the Treo.

What are some other good upgrades?

Is there still a "Dial Lookup" option in the Today settings? That has to be checked for the power button to work correctly. The HTC Home plugin did that to mine as well... and it's fairly well known.

Hi. Would you mind telling me what your Software Version says. I upgraded using the SD Method, and My Version still reads 1.13-ATT.
Thanks

That worked, but it looks horrible. The HTC plug in leaves room for one item below it, and that "Dial lookup" thing takes two, so there is a crappy little scroll thing there.

The SD method does not load the entire update. I had to the exe method with the payloads.xml file, then follow through where it applies the Palm tweaks to get it to work right.

I think I figured it out... is that the "hidelogo" cab I've seen floating around? I'll try that now.

Geez, it works... but now the phone is stuck in a rebooting loop. It's only up and running for a few seconds, then it soft resets.

Can you please tell exactly how you did the EXE method with the payloads.xml file.



Thanks in advance

Never mind.

Thanks.

Sorry. If I was around before I would have told you about that hidelogo thing. I think you may have to reflash your phone again to get around the rebooting. Search around the forums.

When I ran into the same thing, I removed the HTC Menu thing and went for SPB Menu instead, even though I lose the nice clock.

Crap. Now it's doing it again.... this time, on two different computers. The AS icon turns green, says connecting, sits like that for a minute, then returns an error asking if I wanna run the ActiveSync troubleshooter...
