Upgrade ROM advise for HTC touch pro

Hey guys, im noob for windows mobile >.> ( admitted since only use for 2 weeks ) so here is my question

I got a Sprint HTC touch pro ( yea, i like touch pro than touch pro 2 in style ) and it has 1.03 ROM on it. Since I tried to update ROM to version 2 alot of time on multiple computer, the result all of them give me error that when i look up it's something about connection. So yea, i wonder if it worth it to upgrade to vesrion 2, and if so, I found a alternative method and would like you guys think about it before I get to the wrong way.

1st step , hardreset? http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/10/27/howto-hardreset-format-your-htc-touch-pro/

2nd step, manual upgrade rom using the update ?

If you bought it from an actual Sprint store, you could ask your salesperson for assistance.

HTC's website looks pretty helpful for troubleshooting your problem, it also takes you through the upgrade step by step.

Re: Upgrade ROM advise for HTC touch pro

I thought this may have been your problem:

Before you run the ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU), make sure you check and do the following first:

If you are having challenges connecting with ActiveSync, please try the following on your device: Start > Settings > Connection Tab > USB to PC and de-select "enable faster data synchronization."
