downgrade wm6 --> wm5

I am experiencing problems after installing wm6 on my treo 750v
- i go 2006 got shrinked screen
- agenda one is jamming the system
- phone changed from unlocked to locked for vodaphone only
My question is how to solve all this. As updates from different suppliers are not yet adapted for wm6, I suggest that downgrading to wm5 is the best alternative. It is just ...... how to fix this ? I checked this forum, without success.
As I expect other will be having the same problem, the best thing is probably to start new post and ask the more brighter people on this forum to help.
So: please help, how to downgrade treo 750v wm6 to wm 5 ?
Thanks a lot on before hand !

Here is a solution.

done
thanks, with this reply and some other tips on the forum I managed to get wm6 working perfectly.
I can not reproduce the trick exactly but here's some points.
1. I used the extrom unlockers procedure on the forum, see wikipedia treo 750v on this forum
2. used this file T750URT.exe, see link: http://www.palm.com/nz/support/downloads/treo/750vupdate_recovery.html
Afterwards phone worked again, agenda one worked.
However, the screen size problem with igo unfortunately remains, so I had to install tomtom, which did not have the problem

Sorry for the iGo problem but glad that your device work again.

Wait a tick.....a firmware upgrade shouldn't lock your phone if it's already been unlocked.

Please help, does anyone have a link to the update recovery tool?

Update Recovery Tool for Treo 750v

Upgrading to WM6.

Hello everyone! First post in here, 3 month owner of a Treo750. I expect to hang around here for a long while, really interesting stuff going on around here. Hope I can learn a trick or two.
I have a Treo 750, unbranded and unlocked I believe. I'm in Costa Rica and all cellphones here are unlocked. I want to upgrade to WM6 and I've read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100 and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_Upgrade.
I'm just wondering a couple of things before making a move. First I wasn't able to upgrade using the update from the palm support site since the language in my phone is in spanish, (at least that was the error message I got). Here is the info I have from my phone:
Software Version: TREO750-1.16RWS
Hardware Version: A
Serial Number: PRGU08B7H087
Phone Number: my phone number
Firmware Version: 1.27.0b.03
IMEI: *****************
SA NO: 10017102
*If there is any information I shouldn't post just pm me and I'll edit it.
Now, a couple of questions:
-What is the SA No?
-Am I able to update to WM6? If it's in English way better! If so, just follow the instructions in those links?
-What about the info in my cell? I can just copy some docs from work from my SD card to my PC, but what about my contacts? That's something I would rather not have to redo. I know they are synced back automatically but this leads to my other question:
-Could there be any problem if I have WM5 right now, and the next sync happens with WM6?
Thank you very much for this, I've been looking forward for WM6 for some time now. BTW, since I'm not native English speaker, if you find any grammatical or spelling error just let me know, ok?

Helpp to change language
I give my TREO 750v with software 1.12-VFF to a friend of mine because he knows how to update to WM6, and he did, the problem he updated to French WM6, and I dont understand nothing about French, Is there a way to change to English? or I need to install another WM6 upgrade in English, and if so how I do?
I really need your help, and I know I was a dump because of these but I really need step by step guidance on how to solve this matter.
Thanks

Alot of quastions, help me solve them!!!

Hi all i am new att this but i need some help.
I got hp 614c with WM 6.1.
Quastions:
1: Can i use HTC made WM 6.1 roms?
2: Can it take dmg if i use other roms then my own HP IpaQ 614 roms?
3: I need a swedish xt9 for my ipaq (tryed several, non working, i'll try anything you think might work)
4: Is there anyway i can get WM 6.1 on swedish?
5: Can anyone recommend a easy app to send same sms to multiple contacts without add them 1 by 1 (so i can add several contacts in the list by check them or something)
Thanks in advance //AzAkiii
PS. I Searched for theese things all day, and i got no luck! thats why i am posting it!

You will brick your phone if you try and load a rom not made for your phone.
Try group sms for sending sms messages to mass groups of people.

thanks!
Then i wont to that for sure!
Still wondering about xt9 for swedish on my ipac 614c

search for GroupSMS 1.4.3 in the forum.
also, try going to www.cootek.com and check their forum for a swedish language pack for TouchPal 3.5...
nevermind... saved you the trouble.. this is the direct link to their forum to the swedish language pack post with the cab file.
you will have to BUY touchpal to use it.
http://www.cootek.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=516

I don't know about the xt9 you'll just have to try some different programs, you'l just have to find something compatible. This is an htc forum and thats what i'm familiar with, i don't know to much about ipaq's (hp) (much less a swedish version )

I'm about to give up on Treo 750 (Downgrade wm6.1 to 6.0) [RESOLVED]

I fixed my problem doing a Hard Reset and uninstalling the Palm Translator software pt-BR. So, I'm still using 6.1 and I'm very happy with it.
Guys,
I'm in desperate mode on. It has been two days I updated my treo 750 to wm. 6.1 ( Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD). Everything went just fine. The system is nice and all. A little bit faster than the old 6.0.
But then the nightmare started: My "Notes" and "Task Manager" are there but don't work! I put Network frame 3.5... but nothing happened.
These are the two app I most use! I know there is a lot of other apps but I wanna use these ones that came with the wm.
I have two choices: downgrade to wm 6.0 or fix this issues. I've been without sleep for two days 'cause every procedure I try to downgrade fails! I tried this one ( Treo750_2_27_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater) but it says "you already have a newer version installed". And yes, I tried changing the payloads archive.
I tried Cheetah Unlocker, SD card method but nothing happens, just the three color screen saying serial or usb. It also says:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
CHEE100
SPL-1.40.OliNex
The info about my phone is:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional (the start screen says 6.1 Professional)
CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0)
Software Version: TREO750-2.27-RWE
Firmware version: 1.12.0c.00
CC-CAP: GEN-ENG-010
I also tried T750URT but it does nothing but getting my firmware to 1.12.0c.00.
I took the 6.0 rom from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335402
Are them really 6.0? I took the "Generic Rest-of-world - English"
Please guys help me. I've been searching over here and other forums and I just can't make it work. I chose this forum to subscribe and post 'cause it looks like the more expert. What am I doing wrong? I got this phone last weekend and I'm pretty new to this HTC world. My first smartphone! I live in Brazil and everything, even my 3G connection was working on the 6.0. This device came from USA 1 year ago and the last owner (my friend) just put the portuguese-br translator and used it.
I think I'm not forgetting any information. Thanks in advance. Going to try to sleep.

I'm using the same rom and the two app. work fine.
After search in the internet I found this link for rom 6.0
http://depositfiles.com/ru/files/1336491
but first check what is wrong with the 6.1 rom ...
One more thing - there are softwares that you can download and do the same job even better...( replace "Notes" and "Task Manager")...
one more link for rom 6
http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar

My 6.1 ROM is working superbly, +some registry edits to speed it up even more! It's more likely, that something went wrong in the flashing process. Just try again the same 6.1...

Thanks!
Thank you all for your words. You won't believe what happened.
@libal
This morning I was in classroom and I had a crazy idea. I pressed the red button (to end calls) and reset at the same time and erased all the data. Guess what? Everything is working fine! But I sure remember about doing this same reset stuff after upgrading. Anyway, I didn't put the translator to PT-BR yet. I'll try now and if anything goes wrong, I'll just reset it again and leave in English. English wouldn't be a problem to me as you see. I'm thinking about my wife (she's still learning English).
I wanna thank you both 'cause I just gave it a try after reading that you were not having problems with the same phone. Thanks for your time and patience.
@otoinsa
Is this safe? I mean, editing registries to get a faster wm? Can you tell me which mods or just point the link about what you did? Thanks again.

By editing the registry you can customize a lot of stuff (for me replacing left soft key's permanent "e-mail" to SMS was a must. Now under "SMS" I have a submenu containing "e-mail" AND "messaging"), also disable a lot of useless windows mobile features, or enable (power management - longer lasting battery).
To some extent it's completely harmless, just try to avoid experimenting with it too much! There are a lot of instructions on the web, most common keywords used for search are "windows mobile registry hacks" or "pocket pc registry edits". It's best to add the version number (WM 6.1 for example) when searching. Also don't confuse your Treo 750 with Windows Mobile Smartphones - they don't have a touchscreen and those run a different type of Windows Mobile. It's almost the same, however there are some differences...
Most of the older WM regedits will work on 6.1. Also Treo has some Palm-specific registers. Just for starters, here's a link:
http://pocketnow.com/wiki/Windows_Mobile_6.1_Registry_Edits#Power
Wish you luck and hope you'll help to keep the 750 alive in this forum! Post your success afterwards.

I found it!
I found the problem. After doing all the customization and testing all the apps, I installed the translator Pt-BR from Palm's site. Guess what? All the apps I mentioned before stopped working. I did the uninstall process and guess what again? Everything was in English again and most important: working!
So this is the trick: don't use Palm Translator (at least pt-BR) if you are using a non-official wm6.1 rom.
The guy who sold me this Treo has the Treo Pro 850 now. Such a nice device, but 750 was my first pocket pc and I won't forget about that.
Gotta change the post title to resolved lol. But don't lock it yet. Maybe someone else may has a experience to share with us.
