Alright so I'm definitely a n00b when it comes to flashing my Treo Pro, but I'd like to consider myself an expert in general (home brewed PSP in the past, programmed for previous devices, etc.). But I can't for the life of me flash my Treo Pro!

I spent the last week or so reading about the ROM available and decided to go with this one (Icon's WM 6.5 was the front-runner until yesterday).

I first started on a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, where I ran into issues with the phone going to SSPL automatically. So I just rebooted the phone and reconnected it. Well when the flash is about to begin, the SSPL starts up again, and the phone loses its connection.

I read in some other parts of this site where people were having issues with WMDC on Vista/7, and I happened to have a laptop running 32 bit Windows XP handy. So I install ActiveSync and try to flash from the laptop, but the same exact thing happens here!

So I install enablerapinew.cab on the device to see if that makes a difference, and it doesn't.

Then I disabled advanced network functionality on the device. On the XP laptop, it still connects to ActiveSync, and when I run the RUU, it manages to go all the way through to the progress bar on both the laptop and the device, but "times out" after a few minutes, and the recovery wizards starts up in the RUU. I got the BSOD a couple of times during the process too.

On the Windows 7 computer, the system doesn't even connect to the device since I disabled advanced network functionality.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to flash the stock ROM before I do anything else? I tried to do that a couple times and that didn't work. Any help would be appreciated!
