700wx custom rom - Page 2

I just got a new 700wx with Sprint and it will not read my old 1G SD card. It is formatted to FAT32. I tried the directions at the top of this thread, but I am a horror show at this stuff and think I missed something between the lines. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind. I tried the SD card in use in my Panasonic digital camera in the 700wx and it worked. Then I put the original card in the camera and it formatted the card automatically. Then it worked in the 700wx. Go figure.

OK...unbelievably enough I just won a 700WX on ebay for $10!!!!

It is Sprint, but I think it should do nicely for testing this procedure, so I should be able to try this out soon!!!! I already paid, and as long as it works as promised (there is a time-frame to return) I should be good to go!!!!

Besides....what is the worst that could happen......I'm out ten bucks.....LOL!!!!!

edit: Wouldn't you know it (I knew I should have waited to post this)....as soon as I posted this, I checked my mail, and there was a note from the seller:

"I tried to delete the auction before it closed. Cell phone was
broken during our apartment move to our other apartment.
Please let me know how to refund/return your payment. My
sincere apologizes. I did cancel the auction, though."

I think he forgot to set a minimum bid value and is reniging on the sale. I am thinking of writing back and telling him I will take it anyway for parts and battery (I can always use an extra), and the case he was selling with it. Call his bluff. (I am a bit peeved....too coincidental, I am sure he didn't break this in the last minute, and not get the note to me until AFTER I paid!!!!

Sorry about the rant, off subject I know!!

Not me. I am still trying to figure out why Verizon (*.fuu) and Sprint (*.nb0) uses different kinds of 'rom'

If someone can explain the above first ..

Also I can't find any PRI/CC-CAP data unlike the treo 700p/755p

Hey guys I have a verizon 700W (I know I should have got the wx) and I want to modify it by putting a S2U2 and maybe some other stuff. Is this even possible with the palm os. So far everything I've tried to do doesn't work. can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!!!

If you have the 700w, you should be running WM5, not Palm OS. You should just be able to download S2U2 from the thread in here, and install it like any other CAB file.

You do need to have it installed to main memory, just make sure you don't have too much running al the time or you will have a lot of freezes on the w!!

Yea your right I actually have a 700p. I'm really not a fan of it but I was wondering if I could still modify it or even change the whole operating system. If this is possible please let me know.

There is no way that I know of, but if you don't get any reply other than mine, maybe ebag333 knows a little bit more. He started the ROM flashing thread over at TreoCentral:http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...d.php?t=164457

Good luck!!

I think we need a WM6 CDMA version of the rom first. I am not familiar with which phones is CDMA with WM6

ie: One thing I don't understand is why the Treo 750 is considered HTC/xda developers based while the 700wx is not. both are by Palm?

Also we need a failsafe way to restore if something goes wrong. I don't want a brick from experiments. ( you can look at my signature)
