8525 reverting back to ATT rom

[gihzmo]

I am interested in trying on of the cooked Roms on my ATT 8525, however I am concerned about converting back to the ATT rom. I would like to use the K's WM6.0 Lite FINAL from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350695

Can I just run the ATT WM6 install like I did when I upgraded from WM5? Or do I need to do something more complicated?

I am sorry for my newbishness, I do not do a whole lot with WM devices, I am mainly a server/pc/network tech.

Thank you for your help,

it can be done pretty much exactly the same.

ive actually reflashed an att rom back onto a phone after having several roms, and sent the phone back to get it replaced with the warranty

Yes, thats all you have to do if you go back to the AT&T ROM for the 8525. Same as upgrading from WM5.... Good luck and Read, Read, Read.. This forum is addicting... :)

You say pretty much, is there something I need to know? hehehe

This is my work phone so I seriously dont want to screw up :D

install hardspl first, with that chances of you turning your phone into a brick dramatically reduces by a factor of 2854.23 exactly

Although you don't HAVE to install hardspl, i've never had a problem just doing safe softspl installs..

Thank you guys very much, im looking for the HardSPL download now and I am going to flash to K's WM6.0 Lite FINAL.

I paid $500 buckazoids for my 8525, with the 2 year. Explaining a "brick" to my wife (much less Cingular) when I had the means to not brick... I don't think so.

As a precaution, it's always worth reading MrVanx's Hermes Upgrade Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462)

Thank you for your help, I got the new rom on the phone with almost no trouble. I had some issues with my direct push email. But I fixed that by removing the proxy that was set.

This is much, much faster then then the rom I was running before (ATT WM6 release).

The only other problem I seem to have is the weather doesnt seem to want to connect, I looked it up and figured out the code for my city (Danville VA USA) I used NAM|US|VA|DANVILLE

This works if you go through the Accuweather website, but it doesnt want to connect through the phone... anyone have any ideas? The phone goes out to the internet fine, getting email and browsing.
