I applied the MR Monday night. Towards the end it put my Treo 700p into an endless reset loop, with an error about some version being not the one expected (I have a digipic on my camera, but not handy). Quick search through TreoCentral and various other forums revealed nothing. Hard resets didn’t do anything — it would just crash every time it tried to power up the phone radio.

Eventually I managed to stop the Treo from trying to start up the phone at boot time. Trying to reapply the MR via USB cable didn’t work since the device’ USB connection was hosed (computer didn’t see it). ‘Fortunately” Palm had provided an SD-based install of the MR for those who run Vista or MacOS, and with the help of that I was able to successfully install the MR.

At the risk of jinxing my device, so far it’s been stable. Prior to the maintenance release I was experiencing random crashes and reboots about once a day. None so far since the MR got applied completely the second time.
