Folks,
I have used this forum for awhile now, and used its's advice to modify my old O2 XDAII along with Buszdev.net. Both have been extremly helpful. I thank everyone for their advice and help. I moved up to the new Treo 750.
I was disappointed to find out that the Treo 750 for Cingular does not work with the Treo 750v Blackberry Connect software. I have seen this before in other HTC produced devices where the ROM does not match the requirments in the CAB. For instance diffrent versions of the TMOBILE wizard would work with BBC, but later versions of the Cingular 8125 would not run the software.
I would like to flash the Cingular 750 over to the Vodafone 750v. I am willing to dump the Cingular ROM in my device if folks are wanting to play with it. My question is, how do I take the dumped Vodafone 750v files on the FTP server and flash my device over. The device is unlocked...I just need to know next steps. I flashed before, but never with the raw dump. If this info is elsewhere in the forum please let me know where...I am not noob, but not an expert any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
MH
Hi M8,
Looks more that for dumping the ROM is not as simple as with the other PDA. Thgis Treo looks a bit tought.
More i have been asking on this forum for the ROM and looks like nobody is helping me. I have tried hard to look into the FTP and on the upload center but no luck at all.
So you have a working version even if blackberry is not working or things like that please consider yourself lucky. I have tried hard to flah mince in german language where i don't understand anything with no luck as looks like that the ROM files are a so precious stuff to get...
Sorry for these bad news m8.
Cheers
Goblin
Hi Guys,
Because the device is new, there aren't any ROM updates out yet. Once they start to come out, we should be able to switch ROMs, but it seems clear you can't install a dumped ROM, we'll need downloaded upgrades...
Hey everyone im new to the site, excellent information and tools lying around for these awesome HTC phones! I have a dilemma at the moment im due an upgrade next month with my carrier T-Mobile, im eligible to get any phone so I am trying to decide which would be better out of these: MDA Vario II (Hermes) or the MDA Touch (Elf)? Size and weight between the two if anybody knows would be helpful, also I am aware the Elf has the same 64MB of RAM but can anybody inform me as to which CPU the Elf makes use of or wether it is the same as the Hermes. I am curious to know if the upgrade from WM5 to WM6 has broken any applications in terms of compatibility. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Let me know what you think guys, this place is a fountain of knowledge
Hi
Im currently using HTC Magician but im lookin to buy a better second-hand ppc (i-e which can support later versions of WM).
Wizard and Prophet are the 2 PPCs im considering at the moment
I need your suggestions as to which PPC I should go for (keeping in view the financial constraint) and some points in favour of your suggestion.
Im looking forward to your suggestions

Wow, you really are going for some older hardware there! In fact, it may be difficult to find new Wizards and Prophets!
If you want to save money, you are probably going to be better off at this point going with a Hermes or a Kaiser. I can personally recommend the Hermes as I have had one, but I know lots of Kaiser owners out there who love their machines too. Both are well-rounded machines with loads of functionality. I haven't looked lately, but I bet you could get a new Hermes for around US$300 if you shopped around a little. Kaisers will probably be a bit more.
If you are looking for something smaller and don't need the keyboard, you can probably find a good deal on an Elf.
All three of these models were very popular, but have pretty much run their course. No doubt some merchants who have over-bought these models are trying to get rid of them before they become completely obsolete.
Well that depends on what are your needs form a PPC
Look here and compare: http://pdadb.net/
been a wizard users for the past 3 months, have to say its a nice phone, havent tried the Prophet (yet )
as said above, try to compare both of the phones
edit : saw that ur from pakistan , nice to see ya, im from karachi though..but currently in Bahrain
I just upgraded from a Prodigy/Wizard to a Kaiser/TyTN II. It's a huge step up. I'd recommend a Hermes/TyTN or a Kaiser/TyTN II over a Prodigy/Wizard.
I tried several WM 6.1 ROMs on my Wizard, but development on each halted.

Thankyou for the reply
I live in Pakistan, there are alot of Wizards available and I can get a second-hand wizard in good condition for $90-100. Ive checked on Hermes, It is available for almost $270-290 (second-hand)
Im giving prices as I want to get maximum out of my savings (same old problem with students!)
I tried e-bay but no one out there seem to ship it to my country

The Kaiser/TyTN II is the only one with an official WM 6.1 upgrade. Both the Prodigy/Wizard and the Hermes/TyTN have unofficial WM 6.1 ROMs (made by the cookers here at XDA). Most of the unofficial WM 6.1 ROMs for the Wizard have been abandoned by their cookers.
the kjam is the Wizard, the Jamin is the Prophet

i would angree with that, have you taken a look in the wizards section?, a new ROM releases every day, esp the TouchHD CRS Series
thats why im taking ur expert opinion that which ppc should I buy
just weigh all the pros and cons and gimme a suggestion - ill go for it!
i have a hermes with t-mobile 6.1 ROM. Its a very good allrounder. Decent performance.
I just upgraded to a Kaiser and ams o far very impressed. Big step up in general performance over the hermes. A lot more responsive.
But a good deal more expensive too.
if you can stretcht to a Kaiser i'd get that. otherwise the Hermes is a very capable device.
ELFin
This week a pal bought a Mint ELFin for US$350.00 shipping included via Ebay. I've owned many smartphone and some touch phones...as I keep saying...the EFLin to today is my favorite. Why? Small, with a pcm keyboard, Manila, and a few other goodies, it will give a run to any phone out there on the market.
Paul
I'm looking to get a phone off eBay that is capable of running WinMo 6.5 along with the Tzones hack. What phones would you people recommend to someone looking for a cheap GSM smartphone?
Also, how simple is it to fix a bad ROM flash, as there I know someone who had bad flash on a Treo 750, and I may be able to buy it off them.
Welcome to forums
Have a look first on marketplace section, some good deals you can find.
For mentioning some cheap ones:
Hermes
Kaiser
Excalibur
Or more $
Touch Pro
Diamond
Good luck,
Do you guys know her ID here?
From her post in ppcgeeks, we need PM her to get the unlocker.
thanks
you have it!
I also need GSM Hard-SPL/Unlocker.
How to pm her in this forum? Is her ID cmonex?
can I have a copy of GSM hard spl as well? is there WM 6.5 rom for gsm version ? thx
I'd greatly appreciate getting in contact with her as well!
Oh and can I still donate for that cause? I really would like to, if that's an incentive or a good way of saying thanks for all the time & work!
(I'd be glad to help with testing too though, of course!)

i would like a copy of the unlocker too
I have PM'd her for the GSM version too. No reply yet tho....
Soon guys, soon!
Hey Guys!
Like the rest of you, I'm heaps excited about the fact that the CDMA version of a HardSPL for the Treo Pro is now available..
Seems finally, we are going to see some Custom-ROMing activity on the Treo Pro!
From what I understand, the GSM version of Hard-SPL / Unlocker is still a work-in-progress, but when I PM'd cmonex, she is hoping to get it done soon.
So, all we can do for now help her speed things along, is to continue giving her donations (mainly so she can get a Treo Pro GSM to speed up testing etc. and give her incentive!!), AND show continued interest in a GSM version of a Treo Pro HardSPL.. after all, if there's no interest, she won't see the need to do it!
Make sure the donations go directly to her account! I know mine has!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=322932
Keep up the good work cmonex!!! Seeing that Palm has abandoned us, you're the only one who can stop our Treo Pros from becoming very shiny doorstops!!
Just sent my donation, I hope things work out!
All the best, cmonex!
hey any sign of the gsm hard spl
Guys, I wouldnt sweat not having an unlocker for the GSM Treo Pro. After trying Windows Mobile 6.5 several times, I have gone back to the sprint stock rom. We have no cooks and no organization at all as well as no testers. I was very disappointed with the last release by Cfay, installed rom, setup everything, installed my own software then the software wouldnt run. Seems portions of .Net were broken or something. Good luck guys!!
sorry for double post

Hi - I would love to get ANY GSM ROM. 6.1, the one that comes with the phone in the USA, whatever...
I bought my phone second hand (here in China, where I live) and it is not a great version
WM 6.1
CE OS 5.2.19216 (Build 19216.1.0.5)
Software Version T850UNA-1.01-TST
Firmware Version 1.65.28.25
So if anyone has any decent working version of a GSM ROM, I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you so much.
I am really hoping this actually happens! I would love to get a 6.5 rom on my gsm treo pro
