    |  Firmware and Custom ROM for Unlocked Treo After searching around forums/google, I have seen instructions for updating the firmware/ROM to get better performance and stability out of the Treo 650. However, I have seen that the technique varies based upon the carrier in many cases, so I want to be sure I choose the correct one. Here is what I have: Treo 650 Carrier: Originally Cingular, but I it was unlocked when I bought it and now it is on T-Mobile's network. Firmware: 01.31 Software( OS? ) Treo650-1.15-CNB I would think the firmware upgrade would be the same for all of the Treo 650's, but feel free to recommend a link to instructions on how to updgrade it. As far as the Software revision goes, I think this is where the custom ROM's would come in. Are they pretty stable? If not, should I upgrade to the latest Cingular ROM, or is there a certain ROM I should use for an unlocked Treo? Thank you for your time, -Fortezza |

 | Your best bet is to start off by reading (in detail!) the forum over at Shadowmite's site, it will save you a lot of potential grief!

| I've spent that last 12 hours learning how to create a custom ROM for my Treo 650. Using instructions from Shadowmite's site plus this guide -> http://mytreo.net/treofaq/Treo650ROMFaq , I've created a custom ROM and copied the Palm and ROM folders to my SD card, and have put the SD card into my Treo. Then... nothing. The Treo pops up a list of files that are on the SD card, but does not update the firmware. I have tried doing a soft reset to see if that would kick off the update, but no go. I must be missing a step, but I have crossed off each step in the instructions as I completed them, and nothing is unchecked. Perhaps the instructions are missing the part the sets up an updated program that installs the ROM? What I have on my SD card is this Palm - no files Palm\launcher - 106 .prc files ROM - 216 .aprc,.bprc,.lprc, and .oprc files. That is it. Should there be something else? I am at wits end. The only thing that may be missing is the mysterious "Device Configurator" and "Treo.XXX" folders that are mentioned in the FAQ, but were nowhere to be found during the creation of the custom ROM. That may be the problem, but I still don't have a solution. Thank You, Fortezza |
