I think I'm in over my head here

i have been waiting forever for tmobile to release an upgrade to WM6 for my MDA. I found out the other day that wasn't happening so i started searching for ways to do it myself. Here I found people with the same problem and desire I have to get the best OS for my over priced phone.

I quickly found that i have a G4 wizard. i was able to use the "hard spl" program to cange my IPL from 2.26.0001 to 2.21.0001 and my SPL from 2.26.0001 to 2.26.olip that is the end of what i have been able to accomplish. I attempted to flash my phone with TNT19199, i got an error message ERROR 300 INVALID UPDATE TOOL. I have no idea what that's about. then i tried xm6r5, same problem. So i figured i would start from scratch and use "soft spl" to revert to my old IPL and SPL. Now i get ERROR 240 FILE OPEN when i try to run that program.

Where did I go wrong?! I just want a cool phone damn it, lol.

You cannot revert back to official stock rom or apply 'SoftSPL',once you have applied 'HardSPL'.As you have successfully got hardSPL,just use the 'RomUpdateUtility_Noid' from the above link by XL3N7 and flash any wm6 rom,or if you want to apply SoftSPL,you'll have to first remove 'HardSPL'.
