Hi guys,
Full disclosure, I'm a noob at the PPC thing, but I can follow directions pretty well. I'm using maverick351ci's post "UPGRADING A USCC 6800 TO USE GPS" (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24511). I'm following the directions to the letter, but here's what happens:

Hard-spl-mfg.exe initializes via active sync okay. It loads a temporary spl to ram with JumpSPL, and i get a bootloader screen (rainbow colors and says on the phone "TITA100 SPL-2.40 MFG OLIPRO CPLD-9"

The command prompt on the computer (Sony laptop using XP) says I should see 3 color screen showing soft spl and that I should disconnect & reconnect device. Maverick's directions say that when I see the bootloader screen to run titan_radio_3.35.04.exe, so I do but I don't disconnect & reconnect. During (or just before) the radio program is "verifying the info on your PDA phone...please wait" activesync disconnects and then I get "Error [260]: connection" and it gets stuck in bootloader.

Then I have to disconnect and reconnect and run titan_exitbl.exe to get out of bootloader.

I tried just following the Olipro 2.40 directions (w/ disconnect & reconnect which also disconnects activesync) which runs a previous version of the radio program, but then during the execution of the radio program, a screen says

PDA phone rom update utility 5.16.4.2
current infomation about your PDA phone:
From: Image version:

To: Image version: 5060

Then, if I keep going, I get percentage completed bars on the phone and the computer, but it the gives me an "Error 262: update error"

The directions say to connect with activesync to run the program, but activesync always seems to want to disconnect at the moment of truth. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks guys, I do appreciate the help. From reading alot of different posts, this COULD be a really cool phone.
