Treo 700wx SOFTWARE Question - Treo Forum

wirelesscop · 01-18-2008, 08:41 AM

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone know if it's possible to DOWNGRADE the software on the Treo 700wx (Sprint)? I currently have the v1.15 installed and would like to switch back to an earlier version.

I know that I share the same frustrations of others on here and in other forums...reference the functionality that the v1.15 update disabled.

I just wasn't sure IF there was a way to change the software and IF there WAS a way, the STEPS to take to complete it.

Can I ASSume that maybe a HARD reset would bring it back to whatever the software version was installed at the factory?

I have had my Treo 700wx for a little under a year now. Not sure what came with it.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

based upon what I have seen on the forums about people wanting to go back to wm5 from wm6 it may be possible but you would have to have the rom image from your previous rom build to reinstall or reflash your rom. It might be hard to find or extract but if you someone could that it would seem to be doable. You might look on xda developers.com and see if you can come up with something the smae guys that have been doing things with the 750 may be able to help you as well.

Can someone let me know what the v1.15 update disables - I have not gotten around to do the update yet...

A hard reset will not do it. The only other way is if you used a backup program, like Sprite Backup, which allows you to restore from ROM image.
