Hi everyone - I had upgraded my Treo 750 to WM 6 RWE (ROM version 2.25 RWE) a few weeks back, but got frustrated at the lack of availability of Blackberry Connect for the device
It appears pretty darn stupid to me that Palm/ HTC/ Win Mo would put together a supposed "business/ Blackberry killer device" and not work with RIM on putting together a BBC package for WM 6 on it....
Anyways, to get to the point - I downgraded to the WM 5 Vodafone UK (1.16 VFE ROM I think) and as I used the SD card update method to load WM 5, my 750 still thinks its at 2.25.
Unfortunately, owing to this 2.25 ROM version, BBC 2.1 and/ or BBC 4.0 (both of which supposedly work with ROM version 1.16) do not work
Would appreciate it if anyone could please guide me towards changing the ROM version from 2.25 to the 1.16 it actually is
Alternately, if anyone has a desktop updater for WM5 I'd love to have it (but pls also provide instructions on how to update as "updater" wont update when my ROM version says 2.25 anyways - and I am trying to "update" to 1.16)
Thanks very much in advance folks - much much appreciated
Is there a way to update my touch cruise with the latest version of Windows Mobie, which was released on 1st April ?
Officially, no, not until HTC customizes WM6.1 for our devices.
Unofficially, yes, check out the Upgrades section of the Polaris forum. Many have customized it for our devices already. Just be sure to read all the directions and understand the process before doing an unofficial upgrade.
Read some threads in the, well, "Polaris Upgrading"..
Hi all. I was wondering wether this unofficial ROMs are legal or not. I mean, distributing on e-mule a customized version of Windows XP would be illegal, but with Windows Mobile it may be different. The emulator for Windows is free, for example. So?
Thank you
M$ wanted to shut down XDA-DEV... i guess this answers your question...
Ok, thank you.
By the way, I think that uncle Bill would love to shut down many other legal sites... say, for example, www.ubuntu.com, or www.apple.com...
Sure they do... but those only mess up the market, we correct their products
HTC releases WM6.1 Upgrade for Touch Cruise
After update my Touch Cruise to Windows Mobile 6.1, I have noticed that ActiveSync is always running, even after close it. I have an Outlook Exchange account configured but the sync schedule is set to manual. I’ve read some forums and some people suggested to uncheck the automatic time zone in the phone settings, but this is not working also. This don't happen with WM6, before upgrade. Someone have this problem?

ActiveSync should always be running, it is possible that it was set up not to be shown in the WM6 HTC App manager exclusion list.

There was no 6.1 upgrade released on the date quoted. Recent one floating on the first page of 'Polaris upgrading' threads. Check them and upgrade your device.
HTC has released 6.1 for the touch cruise. you can get it from there site.

cuboosh,
You have to read between the lines.
The article though old says the Treo 750 will be made compatible with Windows Mobile Device Manager by the 2nd half of 2008. A quick search on that product indicates that it's features are enabled by WM 6.1 and not the current WM 6.0.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...r/default.mspx
"Mobile Device Manager 2008, enabled by Windows Mobile 6.1, is a solution that gives organizations enhanced on-device security and over-the-air policy enforcement. It allows IT Professionals to more easily manage phones within the organization, and gives mobile employees access to confidential information on corporate networks with firewalls."
"Availability
The Palm Treo 750 smartphone will support Mobile Device Manager through an update starting in the second half of calendar 2008."
I think this is good news.
lets hope. cuz i love my treo
Yeah right, they never gave us our promised PTT. Like i'm going to believe anything Palm say anymore, i'm done with Palm, htc actually stood behind what they said and delivered first.

Palm Treo 750 Upgrading/Downgrading
Hi,
I have been looking for a good version of windows Mobile 6.0 or 6.1 and all links point to the palm website, well that download was for a limited time only and I'm unable to located a version that I can install on my phone.
I'm not that firmilar with doing this and have only tried the sd card method with no success- yes the card is fat32 and it goes into a loading screen and just sits there so i figure the version of WM6 that I got was no good or it wouldnt work when trying to downgrade.
Can anyone either point me to a good download link to downgrade to WM6.0 or 6.1 as i installed 6.5 which is works but I need to unlock the phone using the code I have and 6.5 doesn't prompt so I can type in the unlock code. Can someone please help me downgrade to 5.0 or 6.0 with links to download the right version?
Thanks for all ya help and taking the time to read this.

Hi Libal!
Which lenguage ist this rom?
I search WM6.1 in German.
Have this every one???
THANKS!
well, i check for you
and it is possible to choose/replace to German , but i'm not sure what it means .. the date change to german ( Freitag , 01. Mai 2009 ...)
Is this official? Got a German device without branding an want to flash WM6.5, but is there a way to get back to original? Is it located on the CD? Thx
Hi!
I have installed, but in WM Info is Version 2.18?
Is this correct???
Is there a tutorial on performing the upgrade. I tried installing numerous amounts of different brews of 6.1 ROMs but none of them worked and I had to remove the battery.
I believe I need to unlock my phone of some sort to allow homebrew ROMs to be installed.
Absolutely - links are in the the WIKI
Ok - great. Now, it is just time to decide if the WM 6.1 is really worth the upgrade :-D
Today, while cleaning out the desk of some ex-colleagues we stumbled upon an old Toshiba e750. It is loaded with WinMo 2003. I know these devices are prolly almost extinct now, but i am wondering if its possible to load WinMo 6.1 on this device? Sure it wouldnt be a ROM with calling and everything but i am curious as to this devices capabilities and maybe i could use it for some lightweight work such as internet and calendar. Any Input is welcomed.
