Cingular Branded 750 WM6 Upgrade..Update vs Bootloader

[Mudshark517]

Ok...

I have successfully upgraded my Cingular branded 750 from WM5 to WM6 using the bootloader method. However, my Software Version still reads TREO750-1.13-CNG.

Is there a issue with this? Do I lose any WM6 features if my v is not 2.23? My firmware is 1.54.00.00, so, it's ok there.

I also tried to use the Update method. I changed the payloads.xml file to the correct settings for my phone. Device changed to CNG (ATT did not work) and 1.16 changed to 1.13, and high changed to 1.16, 2.23, and 2.24 to try all I have seen.

When the update starts (after changing the xml file) the display on the updater reads loading files, then when it begins to start the update, my phone display says "Goodbye" shuts off like I had hit the end button to turn off the radio, and goes to a screen that has 4 horizontal color bars (R,G,B,W) and then the updater says that it lost the connection to the phone. I'm screwed after this point.

So, if there is no issue with the 1.13, then I don;t really care about the above. At 1.13 the phone is working.

If there IS an issue, then does anyone know why I cannot complete the update without the phone disconnecting from the updater?

Update.

After reading some other posts elsewhere, someone made a veiled reference to my 2nd issue with the loss of connection during the update, and suggested plugging the Treo into my PC while already in bootmode[. No drivers tried to load, so after a quick trip to device manager, and a reinstall of the driver, the Treo no longer disconnects during when the updater switches the phone into bootmode. It's updating as we speak.

The bootloader method does not upgrade all aspects of the phone's ROM. You need to use the .exe method, but you'll need to edit the .xml file that is created in your temp dir after the FIRST STEP of the installation program.

Search around. This has been discussed a million times.
