I had the unofficial wm6 upgrade on my device for a while and i wanted to unlock it so i used the unlocker program provided here and i could not get past the second step it kept giving me this really long erorr every time. I downloaded the real ATT wm6 upgrade and it erorrs out after the phone resets to the color screen boot loader, i tried the SD card method and the bootloader won't boot from the card. The card is formatted in fat 32 and i downloaded the official sd card setup and also tried the cheeimg.nbh method. The phone is stuck with no ability to be flashed, i tried all the versions of wm6 on here and i get stuck at the bootloader every time nothing happens. PLEASE PLEASE can somebody help me? All I want to do is put the factory wm6 on that just came out.

I flashed using SD method but It still read v2.23 so i used the palm Updater, same thing with me it would get to boot loader then stop and I noticed that the Palm update program would crash, I tried several times but same thing happened. I finailly went to another PC installed AS 4.5 got that working then tried the Palm updater again (edited the payloads file) and i guess 3rd time was a charm up date took that time.

Is your device currently functioning at all or??

I would try another PC if you can run the palm updater and remember to edit the payloads.xml file.
If your going to use the Palm Updater take out the SD card and leave it out just to be safe.

yeah my device works but the radio isn't right due to the unlock tool failing and whatever other error the ungrade has cuase by not finishing 5 or 6 times.... I'm using vista, but shouldn't the sd card method work? when i enter bootloading via ptt button and reset it flashes for a nano sec a white loading screen then goes to color screen and sits there, i mean it flash's by super fast you have to be watching it without blinking to see it. you think the pc update will work if i go to a win xp computer?

Dam honestly I dont think the swapping PC will help you I think the Unlock fugged up your device somehow by not finishing the unlock process.

But yes the SD method should work. Im no expert in this but i havent bricked my device yet. You may have to call att, but dont tell them you tried to unlock it nor that you have a hacked WM6. just tell them you tried to flash with the latest up date and my device get stuck...in other words LIE so they send you a new device. If you are able to get a new device from ATT I
would screw up your current one so it doesnt load WM at all so they cant check the Version on it. in any event GL.

Now your sure your SD is fat32 formatted?

yes i'm sure it's fat 32, i can prolly get a replacment but it will be a referbished one. Yay then it will have some other problem.... oh well thanks anyway, i shouldn't have tried to do the unlock. don't know why it didn't work everybody else says it was easy.
