Guys,

Call me a noob, moron, lazy.... whatever... Sry in advance.

I used this site back with my Siemens SX66 and had great success. I'm not doing so good with my 7501.

First of all, I see a million posts everywhere but it's very confusing as to what to do, what files to use, etc.. I know this is all volunteer work so I appreciate all the hard work that goes into it.

Here is my problem. I want to upgrade my 7501 to 6.1 and AP4 (I think that's what it's called).

I bought the unit unlocked and I've used it on AT&T for some time.

I've followed the instructions to upgrade the radio to 1.50 (or 1.57) and on step 2, it finished (or I thought it did) but upon reset, all I get is a black screen. And yes, I took out the SIM and Memory card prior to any of this and did a factory hard reset.

I was able to put AP3 on it but now when it reboots, it goes through a constant cycle of reboot, reload the custom software, reboot, reload custom software etc... I can't get it out of that loop.

I thought I saw something about this on a thread but after 2 hours (yes 2) of searching, nothing.

help?

Working like a charm...
