Failure to upgrade to official ATT ROM

I have previously upgraded to RWE wm6, now the official ATT upgrader says "you have a newer version of this software" and wont update to the latest ROM. Any suggestions to fool the updater and install official WM6 release?
Thanks in advance- this forum always amazes me!!
Is a simple edit of the payload file all thats needed here?

Awesome as always!! Thanks!!!!
Next question....Installer gets through initial phase, treo gets 4 dark colored bars, then connection is lost and install cant complete. I tried removing the SD card-no luck. Advice ?
Thanks again

I got the same problem , after the erase all data it just froze up ..... is it bricked. hopefully someone can help

I also had the same problem with my device but what i did is switch computers with Windows xp and with Activesync 4.5 that should do the trick

fixed
installed from XP instead of Vista...no problem at all. Appears Vista has trouble with recognizing the treo after loses activesync connection

seems my problem had to do with the unit, i did the sdupdater recovery tool from palm to no avail, finally i removed the battery and reinserted it and bam WM6 appeared after numerous attempt at upgrade and different ROMS tried. I asume the original upgrade got stuck and the removal of the battery, helped it finish. Who knows at least its not bricked

T-mobile (US) HTC HD2 installation failure?

I have the HTC HD2 recently released by t-mobile (3/24/10). Everytime I download and try to install a cabinet (.cab) file, I am greeted by the screen that reads (Installation Unsuccessful) Any suggestions for getting this to work? I have tried downloading from different sources.

sounds like ur installing apps that wasnt made for winmo 6.5
try installing BsB onto the device and turning on the unsigned apps button... hope it works Good Luck...
also a lil heads up, when askin a question alway let people know what ur doing what u hav and what u need, Device ?
Rom ?
app trying to use ?
and a bref descript of the problem

Thanks for the all the advice. I'll take that into consideration.

CABS meant for this device
I'm having the same issue. I flashed the ROM to the new T-MO version and worked great. Installed some CABS that I had installed before and suddenly I get this error on any CAB I try to install. Regardless if it is VIA Windows Marketplace, copied to the device by usb, sent over by WMDC, or downloaded directly on the device and saved. No prompt where to install, just pops up with installation failed. And some of these CABS I know for a fact work. It's got to be some kind of security issue I would think, but I'm not getting any prompt or warning.
I've scoured the web the last week and lots of people with this issue, but no solutions.
Suggestions?

HTC HD2 Installation of update
I am guessing you are speaking of the latest rom update put out by TMobile?
If so, go to TMobile here ----> http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml?
and then follow the instructions as given. I had a problem with my H2 then did this update and all is well.
Good Luck!

Certificates?
That's what I already did! And it was working fine, I was installing CABs, etc. Now nothing will install. I know that I can always do a hard reset, but something caused this problem and I can't keep hard resetting forever. I'm not a newbie here to flashing roms of working with windows mobile either. I did notice today though that under security/certificates there are no certificates now. There were lots of them installed from the factory with the original rom, but none now. I don't know if the rom flash wiped them and didn't reinstall, or something else did. It worked so I never checked after flashing. I suppose I could find someone else with a HD2 and have them send me copies of all there certs.

I'm having the same issue with any cabs im trying to install. Any solutions?

US T-Mobile HD2 installation problem
Gosh, i never thought a lot of people would be having installation problems on their T-mobile HD2 like me.
I have the same unit, just had it last June 2010.
And i just couldn't get to install any third party application on it!
but im able to install apps if and only if i downloaded it on Windows Market place using my phone. Any other method aside from the the Windows Market Place in my phone wouldn't do. Like if i downloaded an application, any application, in my pc and transferring it to my phone through Microsoft's active sync or disc drive transfer and when i try installing it, it just wouldn't install?
i couldn't even install .Net Framework 3.5 on it to hoping to be able to use CHT or any other interesting apps requiring the framework. i got the .Net Framework Downloaded it frm here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483 and also here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
i also couldn't even get to install recommended drivers like Chainfire's HD2/Leo 3D Driver Patch. As you can see, i really couldnt install any requirement apps to get the good progs and stuffs =/ and i've downloaded a lot of apps already hoping to see them running on my hd2, but only to be turned down for they couldn't seem to get installed =/
my unit is HTC HD2 from US, originally a T-mobile and has these specifications:
OS version: 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
Manila version: 2.5.20121412.2
ROM version: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
ROM date: 04/28/10
Radio version: 2.10.50.26
Protocol version: 15.39.50.07U
this is a Leo having a flash size of 1024
i sincerely hope you'd help me diagnose the problems properly =/ Thank you sooo much for the help then masters.
and oh one more thing, having said my phone's specifications, is it ok to try flashing it using this thread and a few ROMS on it? i've been reading carefully these thereads

[Q] Galaxy Tab P1010 "Out of space"

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I recently bought my first Android device (yes, yes, I'm a 100% noob). BTW, I also did the search (google and xda) for this problem, without results.
This is the story:
- I few weeks ago I bought my new Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi (p1010), with Android 2.2 Froyo, and it is not rooted or flashed with some rom.
- Search on the market for an official version of Skype, but no, at this time there was no one.
- Then, I find one on getjar, works ok, but only audio.
- A few days ago I uninstalled the getjar version an install another one, version 2.0.0.45-signed, from villanrom, announced with video support, but at the moment of accepted a video-call the application always fails and closed.
- After that, I uninstalled it, and wait for a new and better one.
- Here is the problem: I have tried with another versions (villanrom 2.0.0.47sig, xda-Froyo-droidrx, the first one from getjar, and others, even the "official one" 2.0.0.47 from the market) but always I got the same error "Out of space: Skype could not be installed. Free up space and try again"
- I can instal other apps (apk and market) without any problem.
- My Summary is: Program 438MB/1.87GB, Personal data 10.00MB/69.77MB, Internal memory 4.38GB/12.74GB", with NO External SD card.
Please, I need some help to resolve this problem, before doing anything drastic, like an hard-reset
Best regards and thanks
Jerome

Please. I need some expert help with this problem.

You can try to run Titanium Backup, to see whether there still is some kind of skype installation on your tablet. If Titanium Backup can find something, then try to uninstall/wipe data/force remove app (all in Titanium Backup).
Another thing u could try is to use Root Explorer, and browse to data/app/ and see if there is still some skype in there (com.skype.raider-1.apk?). If there is, delete it. Also go to data/data/ and see if there is still something from skype there (perhaps com.skype.raider?). If there is, delete it.
Finally you could try to clear your dalvik cache. Usually that's done in clockworkmod, but as I'm not sure if you have that on your tablet, check here.
If none of that helps, I would backup some important stuff and then do a factory reset. Or better yet, put a nice new rom on there (either official or unofficial, no idea what's out there for the galaxy tab). At least go to gingerbread (android 2.3.x), or honeycomb (android 3.x) if that's available for your tab.
good luck!
PS; as for skype, i would recommend to use droidrx's mod. He's making great progress and most likely very soon there will be some kind of "final" and bug-free version.

Many many thanks.
My tab it´s not rooted yet (I think if I do that then lose guaranty)... I will try to do a factory reset or firmware update first... Only if that fail, then I will apply the root solution... BTW, wich one it is the better method/app for root a g-tab (with the un-root option included)??
Best regards
Jerome

Just did a 5 minute research, and apparently for some people there is already an official gingerbread update available. I would rather do that then a factory reset at this point. Gingerbread is a much better version of android than you have at the moment.
Rooting your galaxy tab is dead easy apparently, read here.
If you're thinking about installing a custom rom, see the Galaxy tab android development section.

Yep, but the update it's not available for everyone... I got installed the lastest version of Kies (2.0.1.11053_99), and it's shows "Current fw version = Latest = PDA:KB4 / CSC:KB4 (CHO)".. May be because my country (Chile).
SuperOnceClick looks fine, but with this issue
Note:
I have tried unrooting the device and rooting it again and this is not working. so this is to let you know that you will have to reflash the firmware to root the device if you unroot it again using this software and try to root until some one finds a solution

Yea, that means that you can still get your tablet back to the factory state (including root), in case you wanna bring it back for warranty. Which is probably never going to happen anyway.
So my advice would be just to flash a gingerbread 2.3.4 rom, as i've noticed you don't even need to have root to do this. Who knows how long chile will wait with distributing a new android version?
no te preocupes!
EDIT: just be careful with one thing, i've noticed not all customs roms will work on your tablet since you have a wifi only tablet. keep that in mind when looking for a rom and make sure that the rom will be compatible.

Apparently I'm not the only one with this specific problem... It's look like some bad install/uninstall process with the "VillainRom" version on the GTab.
Google search:
villainrom Skype with Video Support for Various Devices... #55
(Sorry, but the system says that I'm too noob to publish external links.. )
Sadly, they have not released a solution yet

OK, I´m not the first one with this specific problem, but some says even with root they can´t delete skype directory from system.
Jerome

Solution:
Run terminal and type:
"rm_-R_/data/data/ com.skype.raider" _ = space
i failed the oparation a few times until i got it..
After that i'v downloaded Skype again, but this time it installed successfully,
Im very disappointed with Skype team failing to fix the problem and having there paying customers to Root there devices !

Jerome,
I guess you are in the same boat i am.
I went to Chile in June and bought a P1010 at Falabella store. My FW is the same as yours and there's no ROM to upgrade (official or custom).
There's no development for it here. Also the video skype is for the GB not froyo.
The only tweaks i could do was the root (z4root) and the OCLF.
Sorry for this bad news... But at least i loved to visit your country. The Piscosawer, the "CONGRO" fish and the "Cafe con Piernas" 8))

[Q] HTC update failure

I have a Mozart.
A few weeks ago, i updated to Mango via the leaked version.
A couple of days ago, i plugged my phone in and there was a "HTC update" available.
When i update, it downloads the update, creates a backup, and then fails with the code "80181103".
I assume this is because i have the leaked Mango installed?
I was going to restore to my NoDo version (i saved the backup folder) but i cannot find any way to restore via Zune.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Surely i'm not the only person that has a Mozart that had installed the leaked mango update?

What's the version of your OS on PC?

I'm in a similar position - I have flashed to official prenodo rom supplied by ansar but this didn't fix it either, my PC OS is win 7

Just tried again the other day and it worked fine.
No idea what the cause of the problem was though.

[Q] GT-n8010 - Which ROM for simple and stable?

As the title suggests, I'm about to update my GFs GT-n8010 tablet, it's pretty slow and the factory reset hasn't helped (pre-loaded with a load of junk of course).
I've hunted around and can see hundreds of 'enhancements' on many ROMs, but most seem to come with some bugs. She really doesn't need any new features, just a fast streamlined ROM on a newer version than 4.x so newer apps will work. I guess something like AOSP, but I'm new to this.
If anyone can confirm if it can be flashed via Linux that would save me having to find an old windows laptop - Odin couldn't 'see' the tab via WINE.
Apologies if this is a stupid question, all the threads I've read assume that I already know 'something' that I don't, or that my tab is already in a state that it isn't (not rooted).
Many thanks
Chris

Start would be to find a working rom with live download links .
Most roms on here are dead .
