Long time reader, first time poster =]
Just wondering if i can use the same WM update as everyone else? I paid for a program to unlock my treo 750 to work for T-mobile when i first bought it.
I would like to upgrade to WM 6.0, i have done alot of reading, know how to do it, but not sure if i do upgrade to wm6.0 with the atnt rom, it might 'lock' the phone again.
Can anyone clarify this.
Flash away podna..it won't lock your device.

Hey all,
My wizard is about 1 year old, and I'm getting the need for an upgrade.
I was thinking about trying a WM6 ROM, but can't decide if I should.
My question really are:
1. Is it worth it? Will it feel any different than WM5, other than just new look?
2. What are the chances of bricking the device during the upgrade?
Thanks a lot..

Let me just say that in January I was ready to throw my Wizard (8125) in the trash. I hated the phone as it was the worst purchase I ever made. It was unreliable, dropped calls, and reset for no reason all the time. It became for me just a PDA, and even then one I barely used since it would reset everytime I started to really need it (or so it seemed). My Nokia 6620 was far more reliable and useful than my 8125 ever was (but due to contracts and prices, getting a new replacement wasn't really an option for me, but I did figure out how to SIM unlock my Nokia 6620 so I was looking at going back to it). Since I had decided to go back to the 6620, I remembered hearing about people flashing custom roms on their Wizard devices, and decided to come back to XDA-Dev (I had found it last September but the term "brick" scared me off), and give it a shot. What was the worst that could happen? Brick it? I was ready to trash it anyway so who cared.
I read everything and decided to give the Faria AKU3.3 a try (WM6 was brand new out and I was intemidated by things I was reading). After I successfully CID Unlocked and then flashed the Tmobile 2.26 rom (which I found hilarious on a Cingular device) I then did AKU 3.3. All I can say is, the rest is history. My eyes were opened. Suddenly this phone became what it was supposed to have been when I bought it. It was fast and reliable. All of my issues (resets, hangs, and dropped calls) were all gone!
So at a minimum, CID Unlock (if you ahve a G3) and put a custom WM5 rom on. You will NOT be disappointed...
But then the ROM flashing bug took over and I'm firmly into WM6 now. I don't think I can ever think about going back to WM5. I just like the feel and ease of things in WM6 (but at first some things I did not like so it takes time to get used to some of the changes).
So good luck in what you decide. Most claim after upgrading to mine (or many other of the custom roms here) that their phone has new life and it stalls the need to switch to buying a new device... Yeah, I'll probably move to an 8525 (Hermes) sometime, but right now my little Wizard is my best buddy and as important to me as my work computer. I use it for everything now...

Hmmm... this is a good piece of history. Can it go into the ROM flashers anonymous thread? Please...

Hi,
I am thinking of upgrading to WM6, just to give it a try.
I know that if I dont' like it I can always revert back to the WM5, just reinstall the ROM.
However, I have spent 30 minutes searching around this site for the AT&T Factory Rom, build 14959.2.3.2
Can't seem to find it.
Anyone know where to find it.
As an aside, anywone know when AT&T is going to release the official ROM update, just debating whether to wait a while longer to get the real deal...
Thanks
Anyone have this?
I'm looking to downgrade the to the ATT version, not cingular.
hi guys i just got the treo 750 a few days ago and i ran the unlocker and the program never finished i can never complete the last step i didnt know if it worked so i did a hard reset thinking that every thing would go back to normal and i think it did but i still have the custom spl im running the wmdc beta because i have a hermes also i was wondering if i still need to flash the radio to get wm6 im an att user and i have the treo from att can some one help me out
thanks in advance
This seems to be also my Problem.
The first step (Hard-SPL) flashing works fine, so does the second. But then, after I am told to watch my devices screen, a wierd error message pops up un my PC and I can't do anything.
Does anyone have any Idea whats wrong?
cu
-MM-
(Oh and by the way, this threads topic is really bad! how should anyone find us here if you write nothing other than "Help!" I'd recommend "Cheetah unlocking failed" or something more explicit!)
Possible Solution:
Take a look at this Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1640430&postcount=151
Actually reding other thrads is sometimes a good Idea ;-)... hopfully this will work for me...
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a AT&T WM 6.0 rom for the cingular 2125. So then I wouldnt have to perform a CID unlock.
Thanks!
No
sorry dude there arent any official roms containing wm6 for cingular 2125, just the ones that u see in the fourums. I was afraid of changing my cid but at the end I did it, nothing bad happened to my phone. i have nitrous wm6 version installed on my phone and it works great, the only thing that i noticed is that battery is running out 30% more than it used to. but all that u gain compared to that its nothing. by the look of your nick you seem to speak spanish by the way i do too if you need anything or have any questions
HI ALL, new Tilt coming some time tomorrow, migrating over form Hermes and I"m confused, maybe I've been reading too much LOL. Any way, I just want to make sure I have this right.
First, run POF's hard SPL 1.1. to super CID it.
Second, Security Unlock it.
Third HardSPL 3.28 or 9 it.
Fourth, Install any ROM I Want.
Or am I missing something.
OH I'm planning on staying with the newest AT&T ROM or Shoguns DEATHV3.5 for a while, till I get used to the difference between the two devices.

Looks OK for me. Death v3.5 is nice if you're an ATT user, cause it has already att settings built in.
thast basically much it but dont forget to hardreset after flashing
dont forget to check out a radio thread for compatibility and if you flash via usb to take out your micro sd card also check out the franken kaiser thread
