Which Firmware? - Treo Forum

Blackman · 02-20-2007, 06:29 PM

I just bought my first Treo, a new unlocked Cingular Treo 650 which my best friend will be delivering to me soon. My question is if I check the firmware and it needs to be updated which one should I use, the unlocked version or the cingular version?

I was reading and it says the cingular firmware will revert things back to factory settings and I imagine that would mean it would lock the phone again. So I am guessing I should use the unlocked version of the firmware? Like I said my first Treo and my first PDA for that matter however I have used them and sold them working at Radio Shack for 8 years before I switched careers. Thanks in advance.

Use the Cingular firmware. It shouldn't re-lock your phone as its just an update. On the chance that it does, just take it to Cingular and have them unlock it again. This is something they should do for free if you are a Cingular customer. If not, get one of your friends who is to do it for you.

I live in Mexico now so I don't think they can.

Well maybe they can call Cingular and get the code for me.
