I have previously upgraded to RWE wm6, now the official ATT upgrader says "you have a newer version of this software" and wont update to the latest ROM. Any suggestions to fool the updater and install official WM6 release?
Thanks in advance- this forum always amazes me!!

Is a simple edit of the payload file all thats needed here?

I also had the same problem with my device but what i did is switch computers with Windows xp and with Activesync 4.5 that should do the trick

installed from XP instead of Vista...no problem at all. Appears Vista has trouble with recognizing the treo after loses activesync connection

seems my problem had to do with the unit, i did the sdupdater recovery tool from palm to no avail, finally i removed the battery and reinserted it and bam WM6 appeared after numerous attempt at upgrade and different ROMS tried. I asume the original upgrade got stuck and the removal of the battery, helped it finish.:confused: Who knows at least its not bricked:D
