I was hoping Tmobile would do the same thing by this weekend but what else is new. Maybe by Christmas we will have the Tmobile update

I'm waiting for my Treo to charge up. I'm gonna follow the directions to a "T"!

if you have a phone that has been unlocked, don't forget to download the firmware for the original carrier.

Having Trouble upgrading by brainodo 05:53 PM 05/21/2004 -- [Reply]

Hello,

I used Method A to upgrade to FW 3.04 and when I ran the updater I got a message the said "The updater is not compatible this device" ( that may not be exact but it is close).

Original:
--------
AT&T service:
FW: 2.12
SW: Treo600-1.11-AWS
HW: B

So I used token writer "write crnm int" and was able to upgrade.

Now I am trying to install the ATTWS upgrade, so i use token writer to "write crnm aws", but I am still getting the message that the updater is not compatible.

Now:
--------
FW: 03.04
SW: Treo600-1.12/1030/03?????? ( goes off the screen )
HW: B

What am I missing?

Thanks for the Help!

Try a hard reset (after backup of course) and then try the update

Won't help. We figured it out over at mytreo.net though. Competition is good

Sure no problem. Voila viola

Jeb 06:41 PM 05/21/2004 -- [Reply]

Well, no problem with the update. Pretty uneventful right now. We'll see if my connectivity has improved at all. I'll put it through the paces this weekend.

Try "write crnm AWS" make sure AWS is capital letters (dont need the "" either)

I am in the process of updating mine from the CNG update to the AWS update. I will let you know if there appears to be anything new, but I doubt it.

Just like to have the latest firmware so we will see

My friend has the unbranded, unlocked GSM phone he got from Handspring and is running it on the ATTW network. Should he use the ROW update or the new ATTW update? I assume that using the ATTW update won't lock an unlocked phone and may be better since that is the network he is using. The previous threads on the subject don't seem to answer the question and are a bit long by now. Anyone have anythoughts?

Thanks,

RobM 07:11 PM 05/21/2004 -- [Reply]

Well, everything went fine...no issues, the only differrence that I can see so far is that the ATT program Office is back on, apart from that I dont see anything new.

Everything runs no problems, havent tested out the SMS yet, and I am sure there are probably some tweeks to the radio for the ATT network so lets see.

I will let you know if anything weird comes up

Well, I dont think it will lock the phone (pretty sure of this) and it would only be a plus for him since it probably has ATT specific info for their network so I would give it a shot, cant hurt.

I was ATTWS customer
->got fed up, ported to TMO
->TMO replaced my ATTWS phone with unlocked phone
->installed ROW yesterday, everything good
->tried to go from ROW to AWS update, no go, so i down rev'd to 2.09 (ATTWS would not update ROW, said ROW was more current, but it isnt?)
->changed crnm from ROW to AWS
->installed AWS update
->changed carrier screens to TMO
->resync'd apps and Goodlink
->all is well!

This thing is break proof! (knock on wood

)

Plan to upgrade to TMO when it becomes available. I work near Palm and see the engineers throwin back beer and wine every afternoon, I assume they are celebrating that days firmware release. They should stop drinking and finish coding TMO and the others. Hopefully the TMO version isnt hung over like the engineers that are building it!

Thanks Rob. That was what I was thinking. The only thing I want to make sure is that updating won't lock the phone.

If you bought the phone unlocked, it will stay unlocked, if you unlocked it via hack, it will re-lock after this upgrade.

Thats the rule of thumb.

It will basically revert back to out of the factory unless you have the unlock code for that phone, then who cares

RobM,
I have an ATTW phone but it has been unlocked via hacked firmware to use Tmo service. Do you think it would be possible to install the Tmo firmware when it becomes available (likely using the tokenwriter to fool the treo). Will that allow me to use it on Tmo or will the act of changing it make it locked to ATT even with Tmo firmware/software?
