Ok so last night I decided to do the update [using the Desktop Updater, see post before this]. Funnily enough the Desktop Updater crapped out on the 2nd part of the update with this ominous looking message. I re-tried it 3x more and the update still failed.
The geek in me would not tolerate failure so I proceeded into kegaw [know-it-all]mode.
First I did a backup using SPB Backup. Then I did a hard reset, pulled out the SIM and miniSD. I downloaded AS 4.5 thinking this would make the update work [this would bite me in the ass later].
Attempted another update and failed again. I thought hard and figured the update might not be working because I already had AKU 2.6 [courtesy of the first NL ROM which was released] so I decided screw it I already have good backups and the ROMs anyway. So I flashed my device with the Cingular Test ROM [Oct-2006, this one had AKU2.3], I then re-tried the desktop update and though the update finished successfully I now had a Cingy device with AKU 2.6 / Software Ver. TREO750-1.16-VFE / Firmware Ver. 1.12.0c.00 now this too me was unacceptable since I'm not on Cingular [and I actually don't like the X logo] so... I flashed my device a third time now with the NBH of the NL ROM [Feb-2006, NBH file AKU2.6], after the flash I checked the AKU/SW/FW again and they stuck. The downside about this is I had to do a hard reset and I knew I had backups but those were of a different ROM image. So to avert more troubles I decided to load everything from AS. When I opened AS 4.5 all my apps and partnerships were gone fucking AS wiped my install history [you know the Add/Remove Proggy's menu]... Shitballs! Now I had to look for each of the EXE or CABs and manually re-install all my apps good thing I'm a bit organized. But still it was a PITA! Anyway I finally finished loading all my apps and inputting the serials at around 2AM. Well now I have the latest AKU/FW/SW for my device. Um the device still doesn't have MSN or HSDPA.
