Unfortunately, once I go into the recovery mode, the update starts to download, but then tells me that an upgrade is not permitted with my device. The RBG and White screeen remains. The first time it did this, I took the phone to the Sprint Service Center and they replaced the phone. I went home and I figured there must have been a problem because the backup software (Sprite) was running on the PC. I made sure the program was not running and I carefully did the upgrade again. The same thing occurred at 10% download. The uSB disconnected and the same warning error came up. The new phone was now bricked. I had to go again and get it replaced. (The good thing is that both phones had the better viewing angle screen.) I wonder if I am having a problem because I have the 64 bit Vista Ultimate running and the upgrade cannot work on 64 Vista. I have given up for now trying to upgrade. I might wait until Monday and try my plain 32 bit Vista at work. Does anyone have any ideas why this would be bricking phones? Has anyone had a problem with this upgrade?

I used an old XP computer and now everything works fine. WARNING: Do not use Vista Ultimate 64 bit for updating to this ROM.

Interesting about the Vista 64 bit. I suppose I will never find out why the upgrade bricked two phones.

when i upgraded my phone i made sure that i installed the following:

windows mobile device Center 6.1 64bit edition
hooked up my phone via usb cable and let Vista find it
Unhooked phone from USB cable and went into bootloader (power botton, camara button, soft reset button) and let vista find the phone again
Then unhook from usb cable, boot the phone
Do a ##786# and complete the install of windows mobile 6.0 Warning this will cause you to have to reprogram your phone so write down your msid and mdn and know your msl code to do the ##786#
After Windows Mobile 6.0 installs then run the new rom...

worked for me....

I just noticed the filter problem went away after I restored a stock backup (pre leaked rom) that had all calls shown from the gitgo. Now even though all calls are missed ones (I had deleted all calls cuz they were all from May), the "show all calls" still checked in the filter menu.

I have had no problems with it.

If you use PIM Backup, just restore your contacts, phone log and message log. Nothing else, and that worked best for me.

I restored some ringtones that I couldn't do any other cuz I couldn't see the window folder in file explorer to copy them to.

Im sure someone has already mentioned this, but theres like 100 pages that I don't wanna read to find out...and I'm a newb, so apologies if I sound dumb. I upgraded to the Alltel Rom a few months ago, but really wanna go to the new sprint Rom. Question is do I have take that off, or just install this new one? Thanks fellas.
