Upgrading to WM6 ATT8525 Problems

---

So forgive me, as I'm mostly new. I have been searching for hour for a thread, not wanting to duplicate and I cannot find this issue.

Windows XP Pro Computer
Running WM5 on the BRAND NEW phone.
Just downloaded activesync 4.5

I bought an att8525 and want to upgrade it to wm6. I found the thread with the official rom's. I figured I'd do the official before I got tricky. My problem is this, when I run the program and the phone is connected, the phone kicks off into the tricolored screen (I believe is the bootloader?) I try to run the upgrade and before the upgrade begins one screen says be sure you have an activesync connection. Well, I can't get an activesync with the bootloader screen on. So I tried running the program with the phone in bootloader AND I tried getting the phone back to the OS before continuing the installation. Neither worked.

So both come back with an error trying to connect to the phone spitting back crap about be sure the phone is still connected".

In the bootloader?? screen it says 2 things.

herm100
ipl-1.03

herm100
spl-1.11

I have had no problems with this phone before... and I very much would like windows mobile 6, and I know it works, I've seen it, I just don't know whats going on. Please, any help would be appreciated.

I feel your pain and had the same problems.

Bag the conventional upgrade and use the memory card method. Refer to the instructions in the wiki. It works quite well.

I had the same problem. I used this and it worked:

I just tried this method and got another wrong vendor error. Thanks though

Put HardSPL v 7 first (or SUPERCID will also do it)

Awesome. I tried some things to SuperCID, but nothing worked as well as pof's any bootloader version 3 supercid program. Amazing.

Then loaded up the ROM, works great, thanks all.
