Instructions on How to Flash Treo Pro? - Palm Treo Pro ROM Development

Hello from a long time XDA lurker. I finally purchased my first HTC manufactured device, a Palm Treo Pro, and want to flash a WM6.5 ROM, but after days of searching, have not found any instructions on how to actually flash the ROM. I'm assuming i have to flash HSPL first, but them what? Can somebody help me out?

Hello
Well first yes do Hard-SPL (This one is GSM Devices Only).
Note:If you have a CDMA Version than check out this site for the right ROMS & Hard-SPL
Second there are a Few Roms out there, try some and see wich one you like better. here is a link to some.
Note: To flash the rom, click on the Custume RUU and follow the Steps, (pretty much the same way you flashed Hard-SPL).
GSM Treo Pro ROM WM6.5 build 21857
Heechee's TreoPro GSM 28014 Rom WWE Full & Naked
Also check this forum Acidhax made some GSM versions
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=138
Here are some Screen Shots of the RUU screen, Just Follow the On Screen Steps & check the Boxes to be able to hit next. Hope this helps .

Thank you for the in-depth reply. It was exactly what I was looking for. Ill try to cook some ROMs and upload them on this forum.

Sprint has an official CDMA 6.5 ROM for the Palm Treo Pro, only if there was a GSM 6.5 ROM that was stable for the Palm Treo Pro.
I won't upgrade my Palm Treo Pro to 6.5 because I can see so many issues on the forum's and I cannot find a stock english 6.1 GSM ROM.
On the other hand, the O2 Atom was very easy to upgrade, and very stable.

any ROM you would recommend?
just got a Treo Pro from Dell for $180

If you guys have the GSM version, you can try any of the links i posted above on Post #2. there are only a few Roms for this phone.

if I upgrade my Palm Treo Pro will I still have the software my phone came with like sprite back up. also if I won't get sprite backup on 6.5 and I go back to 6.1 will I get it back.

Features:
[x] Sprite Backup
[x] Pocket Express
[x] Esmertec Java
[x] GPS Nav
[x] Remote Desktop Mobile
[x] Kinoma Freeplay
[x] Internet Connection Sharing

[+] Optimized ROM for battery and memory efficiency
Most, if not all, stock ROM applications are included.
Thats fronm his Post over @ PPCGeeks and here its the link

thx for your contribute
but seems the testdump or grab_it don't work on Kaiser, it's only 12.1M, I think the ROM size must large than 50M even compressed by WINRAR

I have gone to this link I have exactly done as written. Unfortunately it does not work.
Also searching from WWE ROM
I am also searching for the WWE ROM version for my HTC TyTN II (Kaiser)
Currently i am stuck with a Dutch version. At the moment i bought my model, the WWE wasn't available there
If any have a version ready to use, i would be gladdly to use it
I did some search on this forum, but i couldn't find one, if you can paste a link to that track.
People the ROM's that are out are posted very neatly in the Sticky Named Hard SPL - Flashing ROM's - Radios!! REG Tweaks! PagePool!! UPDATED 10/6 !!!
why dont you take a look there you will find all that you need! As of right now there is no way to reconstruct a dumped rom so even if you have a dump of a rom you cant flash it back to your Kaiser!

There is no official WM 6.5 update for the TyNT II. All the 6.5 roms you see on this site are cooked (unofficial ) roms. To use one of them read here:

But again , anryl and josh are just using builds based on leaked beta versions of 6.5, not official versions or even official beta versions. M$ can only hope their final version is as cool as anryl's or josh's.
well just want to give him an idea what it look like
It's pretty with lots of sparkly lights and beautiful backgrounds. I have a feeling it will be a bit of a beast for the Kaiser when all is said and done. There are some really great roms out there though. Hyperdragon has a couple of them.

I was one of the first guys to flash Josh's roms when he came here from Hermes, and have flashed and used every one since. Problem is I hate Titanium, and I love Manila. And Reza IMHO, does Manila better than anybody.
But that is not to say that I don't appreciate people ( josh and anryl ) who are the best at things I don't prefer.
I like the ROM I installed this morning
I spent all day yesterday getting educated. I read and read, and then I tried and I bricked my phone a few times. But because I kept reading, I finally figured out mskip's instructions on Flashing your First ROM. I love XDA developers, and I love my new ROM. Now that my TILT is unlocked, there's no limit to what I can load on it. A rom a day keeps the boredom away

good link, but NZ users will get it easier by visiting the HTC support site,
All in all its nothing NEW, @ all, just a slightly revamped 6.1, fixes sum bugs, and includes The Market Place, I kinda wish i could get around the security on the NZ-HTC SNAPP kuz i would want a more aesthetically pleasing OS like the custom cooked roms.
But all in all the rom is faster, and thats about it, nothing exciting at all,
Any nz users feel free to post your impressions as well
