    same here, can not save and exit the MAP options.
    currently using OS6.534

    However i tried without unchecking the MAP options and just unchecked unused Serial Port Profile entries except Data Transfer (Desktop Connectivity, SIM Access Profile, Wireless Bypass). IT WORKS!!!

    I spent 2 days getting my bridge to work and did not want others to waste this amount of time. So I posted detailed instructions. I saw Fonzo's post after the fact and still feel it was a little light on information.
