I bought my Treo 750 through AT&T right after it came out. I upgraded to the official WM 6.0 firmware a long time ago. I also called AT&T who gave me a code to unlock the phone so I can use it with my new T-Mobile SIM.
I want to upgrade to 6.1. Since I had AT&T give me a code to unlock my phone (I'm currently using my 750 on T-Mobile now), do I still have to use the Cheetah unlock utility? If I flash my radio to the 1.54.07 version, will it give me better coverage or reception with T-Mobile? Do I have to flash the radio to use 6.1?
Thanks...
The code just unlocks your phone for a different SIM card. I would recommend using this tutorial to get Hard-SPL so you can use any ROM you want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511763

I have been lurking the forums for the past few weeks and I feel that I am ready to begin flashing (of course after installing hardSPL). I have a few questions that I would verify.
I know that Orange phones will simlock if the radio is flashed. Are there any reports of ATT tilts doing the same with any radio versions? I read the stickied radio thread and didn't see any.
Is it correct that only radio ROM flashing has been a reported cause for sim locking?
Does anyone know where the AT&T AKU 0.4.4 Rom originally came from? Is it available off the ATT site? Since my phone is branded as a ATT tilt, I do not need to install hardSPL to install the STOCK AKU 0.4.4 Rom, correct?
In the off chance that my phone did simlock, this can be fixed by sim unlocking the phone (either a pay service or ATT international customer care) right? Will flashing the radio ROM back to the original ROM fix it as well?
Thank you for any help.
I'm not aware of any AT&T Tilts becoming simlocked like the Orange ones when flashing the radio.
However, there have been reports of trouble flashing HardSPL to some newer models of the Tilt.
i flashed a couple of roms and radios with a simlocked and unlocked tilts...all is good for me
I have a TILT that I bought Dec. 9, 2007. Already flashed the radio and on my 3rd rom. No problems whatsoever.
Form AT&T, right?

I just bought one on Dec 11. Flashed HardSPL this morning and no issues so far.
And yes, mine is also from AT&T.
I bought some Rogers Palm Treo 750 BS phone from ebay and would like to set it up with AT&T OS & Firmware or whatever. How do I convert my Rogers phone to AT&T? I tried the WM6 for ATT update and it said, "Unsupported Service" when trying to update it? Please help I don't want "Rogers" or whatever it is. Please help!!
P.S. - I can use my ATT sim card and it works, but just want to use ATT's software
Unlock using Hard SPL and you can flash any AT&T (or generic) ROM you like using the SD card method.
Hi to all!
I have a Sprint Touch Pro2. I already went through the whole process of doing the Olipro Security Unlocking and the RhodiumW WU Radio Unlocking for US SIMs.
Everything worked very well and now I can use my phone with an ATT Sim Card.
My question is, can I update to a new/different CDMA ROM without losing the ability to use my ATT Sim Card? I would like to eliminate all the Sprint applications and be able to get new ones.
I will really appreciate your help!!!
just run the radio again once ur unlocked it stays unlocked so just run the radio again and u should be fine works for me everytime

You should be able to use the ATT Sim card, after you flash a new rom...as long as the RUU that you use does NOT flash a new radio.
I am guessing that because you want to eliminate the Sprint Software, that you are NOT planning to flash a stock rom.
If that is the case, and you plan to flash a custom rom from here or PPCGEEKS, then you should be fine. Other wise, if you find that you did lose the ability, then just re-flash the new radio after you flash the rom.
I have 6.1 Sprint Unlocked SIM and want to do the upgrade but scared that it will remove the ability to use any SIM card. I have done the upgrade on my father's Sprint TP2 and he likes it, I just need some confirmation before I proceed. Thx.
It wont! But I suggest you call customer service first, and make sure it wont.
I upgraded to 6.5 and my tp2 remained sim unlocked. It will not affect your sim unlock
i did and my sim card from trinidad dont work
Yes because you will need a new patched radio since the rom includes a newer stock radio
plus one drewcam. there is a 2.32.00wu, flash to it and go!
Hey guys, Ive just used the goldcard method to remove all Bloatware from my HD2 by installing the WWE rom. I have already Network unlocked Via Subsidy Key on the Original rom. My question is.
As i have flashed the new rom, Is the Subsidy unlock still active? I have no means to test as i only have a T-Mobile Sim card atm. My o2 card is on its way
