Touch Pro MR1 Upgrade v2.0 will not flash

[anonymity]

I am trying to flash my Verizon TP with the new(ish) MR1 upgrade v2.0 and it just won't flash. I am currently running a custom ROM running WM6.5. Do I have to flash it back to stock before using this update? If not, what else do I need to do before running the upgrade? I am using the file I grabbed from http://pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=110&cid=1&mid=328&carrier =Verizon%20Wireless.


I suppose I should mention, I keep getting an error when trying to flash. (See Attached)

Try extracting the exe with Winrar then run the utility that way. It however will result in not upgrading the radio. I should mention the pagepool really needs set to 10. 6 does nothing but cause serious lag.

I'm sorry... I'm a little new here and I completely forgot about that. What's worse is that now I can remember reading that. Can I request that this post be moved somehow?

Thanks man. I don't know if it was the extraction or the fact that I went from trying to flash my device on a Windows XP computer with the latest version of ActiveSync to a Windows 7 machine with the latest Windows Mobile Device Center. One way or another, it worked this time.

I figured I have been bouncing from ROM to ROM often enough that I wanted to see what the latest that Verizon had to offer was. So far it's no great shakes but I like the idea of the new visual voice mail (something I haven't seen in any custom ROMs yet) and the fact that Verizon actually decided to unlock the GPS (yep, there is indeed a god).

The tip for the pagepool helped as well. I was thinking about going to 16 but thought that might be pushing it for this crippled thing.
