Before you start

Do not stop the update before it is finished. Like any important software update for computing devices it is possible for your device to become unusable if the update process is interrupted during a critical phase.

Running applications or browsing the Internet on the desktop PC during the update is not advised. Ensure that ActiveSync is not currently synchronising or running in the background prior to executing the Treo update. These activities may interfere with the updater process.

IMPORTANT! WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

During the installation process, some users may encounter a scenario in which the update does not complete and the device becomes unresponsive.

If you experience this scenario, there is a recovery tool available to reset your device. Once your device has been reset, you can then proceed with the update process again. For more information and access to the recovery tool, please click here.


Do...   Do Not...
  • Have ActiveSync 4.2 installed on your desktop PC.
  • Connect your smartphone to the USB ActiveSync cable and complete a synchronisation before installing the update. ActiveSync should say "Connected" with the green icon, but not be currently synchronising, when you run the update.
  • Connect the cable directly to a USB port on your desktop PC. Cradles, docking stations and USB hubs may interfere with the upgrade process.
  • Turn off anti-virus software, screen savers and power saving on your desktop PC.
  • If using a laptop, ensure it has power for at least 60-90 minutes.
  • Make sure that your smartphone has at least 7 MB available storage memory (how to check).
  • Unlock your device by entering the password/pin and turn off any passwords on the device.
  • Disable the ActiveSync option to "sync items as they arrive" if you are using it; instead, set your device to synchronise on a schedule or not at all during the update.
 
  • Pick up or move your smartphone during the update. This can cause the cable to lose connection and halt the update.
  • Lock or suspend your desktop PC during the update.
  • Use Bluetooth wireless to connect with your desktop PC during the update; instead, use the USB ActiveSync cable.
  • Remove the synchronisation cable during the update.
  • Remove the battery from your smartphone during the update.
  • Remove the power adapter cable during the update.
