Can't get past bootloader screen.

[TechnoHippie]

Hey guys....
I have a friend that's on Bell Mobility in Canada. He's downloaded the WM6 ROM and is attempting to install it - but each time we try to run the install it fails with "connection error 101".
We've downloaded it a coupla times to make sure nothin was corrupted in the download, 100% sure he's getting into bootloader mode properly, etc etc etc.
The only odd thing I found was that when he's in bootloader mode is says ver 2.04.
We've installed serveral WM5 ROMs on this phone and they've seemed to function ok - but for whatever reason this one gives the 101 connection error.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
