So who wants Custom Roms? I flashed my WX!!!

[lattisimo]

I have a Sprint Treo 700wx w/ firmware version 1.12 (Demo Device). The updater from Palm will not update the handset. Says its not sprint!

I extracted the contents of the Sprint 1.15 update to a folder using winrar. I put my phone in bootloader using ##8778# (UPST). I ran the command:

"F:\Treo700wxSprint1.15DesktopUpdater\ruucmd.e xe -asyncoff -t -v F:\Treo700wxSprint1.15DesktopUpdater\bootloader.ru u"

("F:\Treo700wxSprint1.15DesktopUpdater\" is just the location I upacked the update to, yours will likely be different) The command completed in seconds and this successfully got my Treo stuck in boot loader and i mean stuck. Soft reset, hard reset, nothing would make a difference

Now that I have committed my device I then ran the same command but pointed it to the FwAndRom.ruu:

"F:\Treo700wxSprint1.15DesktopUpdater\ruucmd.e xe -asyncoff -t -v F:\Treo700wxSprint1.15DesktopUpdater\FwAndRom.ruu"

and i saw magic happen. The device indicated that the radio was being updated and I could see the progress in the command line on the pc. It took a bit for the radio update to finish, about 5- 10min. It then started the firmware update which was also indicated on the device with a progress bar and i could see the percetage update on the command line. This took about 15 - 20min. When I was done the device rebooted to the Treo name on the screen and I left it there for about 10 minutes then tried a hard reset cause I am impatient. I should have done the hard reset right away, that was all I needed to do. I now have a demo device with v1.15. It still says 1.12 but i have the software store and THB kit which was not there before. Thank you for your info, without it i would have gotten nowhere.
