    Default WM6 problem with update.

    I tried to download the WM6 update, (I still have WM5 on my Treo750), and it said that it had already been downloaded. How can I get my Treo updated to WM6 now?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Download the official unbranded bits here: http://palmone.r3h.net/downloads.pal...topUpdater.zip
    2. Extract the EXE file that is in the zip file (give it a specific folder to extract to, the zip file uses a funky folder name).
    3. Run the EXE file, but stop when the gui pops up.
    4. At the first screen, navigate to c:\Documents and Settings\your username\Local Settings\temp, then inside the temp folder you will see a palm folder, and a folder with some random numbers and letters like PQa02356.
    5. Enter the installer temp directory
    8. right click payloads.xml file and select edit with notepad
    9.Replace the RWE carrier text with ATT if your phone was from ATT, then
    Replace the high 1.16 version with 2.27
    11.After you have made the necessary changes click on file-save as, then save it back into the same file as it was originally in, and save as (all files)
    if you save it as a text file it won't work.It must be saved as payloads.xml
    with the xml attributes.
    12. Go back to the installer screen and continue with installation
    13. You must complete the installation successfully, if it fails, rerun the whole process. If it isn't successful, the flash ROM isn't "closed" and you won't see the new version numbers updated, and what not else as well.
    Ta daaaaa and it runs HSDPA !!!

    It worked great for me. My treo was fairly new with winmo6 version 2.25 with ATT branding, and nobody seemed to have the exact directions that worked for my phone. feel free to pm me if you need any help.:cool:
