I also just received this text message but sadly this is the same WM5 ROM that was released a few weeks back. Nothing new (to people that frequent here anyhow)

---

They must be getting ready for the WM6 release.

Hi, I'm quite new to the forum and I do apologize if this has been covered. I just don't know where to look for the answer.
Is there away to upgrade to the ROM that was texted to me from cingular/at&t on a MAC?
TIA

Apparently I have a very old ROM on my 8525 and wanted to upgrade.
ROM Version: 1.34.502.1
ROM Date: 09/26/07
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
This is the first time that I have received a message to upgrade. I have NOT had the phone that long. I'd say a couple of months at the most.

You will need something like Paralells or bootcamp to do it. I would recommend thoroughly testing the connection reliability. I use a 15" MBP C2Duo all the time - but the connection can be tricky - test with some flash screen flashes or something relatively harmless. Check out www.mrvanx.org for help on flashing in general.

oops... LOL It's supposed to be 09/26/06
yes I use parallels and decided to try it on my own ATM. I'm in the middle of doing it now.
The screen has 4 colors on it (red, green, blue, white)
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
and on the white area it says USB
I decided to stop and wait for a reply
I disconnected and hit the reset button on the bottom of the phone. should I update since my ROM version is quite old?

Yes, but only if you will read the guide I posted first. If done properly, there is little to fear. If not, then you could screw up your device. If you will read through the guide and follow each step (incliding HardSPL flashing), then GO FOR IT! If not, best leave it for another time.

---

Thanks, I'm looking at the site already. man these types of phones are completely different than the other types of phones that I've previously dealt with. the lingo is completely different
thanks though. I'll be sure to read the guides.

---

ok so i tried to follow the guide on my MBP C2Duo and when getting to the part with the Hard SPL I got an error about my connection. Am I doing something wrong?

---

Fair warning - I'm using my unlocked ATT/Cingular 8525 on Telstra in Oz and the upgrade removed my ability to access the internet with my Telstra SIM.
Darn it.

How are running windows - paralells, bootcamp, ???
What version of windows - XP, Vista?
Does ActiveSync see the connection in windows?

Before you upgrade, there are a few issues you should know about the new version.
1.- You won't be able to access streaming media through IE,you can only access streming through pay software included (Att music, XM, etc) and you won't be able to use your own subscription to XM, you'll have to pay ATT anyway to use it.
2.- You won't be able to go back to any previous version unless you use an external bootloader
3.- The alarm goes off only when you have flight mode off, (I always turn it on at 5 pm so guys at work or customers won't bother me)

Just re-enter your Telstra carrier's GPRS settings, mms as well if you use it.
Most custom roms and definately other carrier's roms will not re-customize these for you. You should save off the relevant cab files from your EXT-ROM before you flash with an "unapproved (by your carrier)" ROM.

I had to enable Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC > Enable advanced network functionality in order for ActiveSync / WMDC to see the phone and launch. However when following the tutorial on the site that you posted I kept receiving an error stating to check my connection. I followed everything to the T and still couldn't get it to work. Finally frustrated I just tried the new ROM that was posted and I was able to successfully upgrade it.
The weird thing is that even though I received the message to allow an unaproved (by your carrier) message and allowed it... It seemed to do what it's supposed to. Meaning that I got the screen with the 4 colors and the new version number and everything but for some reason the phone would NOT restart and then eventually the software would time out.
Any ideas? am I still able to do that update?
This was done through Parallels not through bootcamp and I did everything required for Vista prior to doing the update. This version of Vista is Ultimate OEM and fully licensed. I also had to download the WMDC from microsoft as stated in the tutorial as well. That installed but same problems
Thanks
Now that I have the AT&T ROM loaded I do NOT have "enable advanced network fnctionality" enabled and I have successfully connected my MBP to my phone via bluetooth PAN. I am able to get online with that connection type and I have also been able to browse the web on the phone through IE.

So, I am not exactly sure where we are atm. It sounds like you *did* get the new ROM on the phone? Things seem to be working?
Is there more that you need? Are you just trying to figure out the USB connection to the MBP now?
Sorry, but I am confused

yes, I did get the new ROM onto the phone but I did NOT do what you had asked me to do though. I tried to follow the tutorial BEFORE doing the AT&T ROM since that should keep everything safe from harm but it didn't work. being discouraged at all the time I spend on that side I decided to just load the ROM that AT&T told me to download and that was a success.
Will I or do I need to do the Hard SPL and other things on the site you posted earlier to make sure my info isn't messed up when modding the phone later on?
