Can I chg Dopod 838Pro to ATT 8525??

[allank]

Sorry for my being so inept on this but I have an 838 from Australia and I wanted to change it to use in the US on my ATT/Cingular account. It only displays Asia/Pacific countries so I can't select ATT for internet connection.

I have Vista Business and tired to install the Hard-SPL but even though I've been able to sync my contacts and calendar directly to my laptop, the Hard-SPL dies and says it can't connect to my 838.

I took the next route of trying to install the ATT build with the boot loader but get invalid vendor ID.

The phone works with UMTS ATT as the carrier but I can't connect to my email via the web since I can't set the connection.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you install and run the HTC Network Wizard, you should be able to select United States/AT&T and let it do all the configuration for you.
Once installed, the shortcut icon should appear in Settings/Connections.

File attached.

Seriously though, if you are gonna try to stuff around with the os without knowing what can happen INSTALL HARD SPL... Look on page 116, post #1160 of this thread to do it with the sd card - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...:D

Thanks for the suggestions. I keep trying to install the Hard-SPL but following the instructions, it says that WMDC on Vista must be running and it does in fact connect to the 838, but as soon as I try to run the install, it disconnects and ends up coming back with an error that says it can't talk to the device. Frustrating.

Also, since I'm having this comm problem between my laptop and the 838, is it possible to load the Hard-SPL software on miniSD chip and execute it from there?

Yes you sure can. Make sure you read the instructions on how to flash from SD first!

Already gave you directions to instructions to find out how to flash via sd card... All programs needed are in the link I gave you WITH the post # too...
Cheers...

Thanks to all. Now have it working. Really only needed to install and run the unlimited Network Wizard and it all came into place.

Thanks again
