Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yep
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yep
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yep
Joomla! version: 1.7.5
PHP version: 5.3.6
MySQL version: 5.5.15
Host: n/a
Admin Tools version: 2.2.1

Description of my issue: I've followed numerous things I've found and none of them are working. I had 2.2.a3 installed of AT Pro and accidentally upgraded it to 2.2.5. before I read whether it was compatible with 1.7 (it's not). I broke the admin part of site, so manually removed the folders associated with Admin Tools and applied 2.1.14. I cleared the update cache and reloaded it. It shows in Joomla that the 2.5.4 update is available but never loads past 1.7.5 in AT. AT says I'm at the latest version.

I upgraded AT Pro to 2.2.1 in hopes of it seeing the 2.5.4 upgrade to Joomla and the same issue is there. Version 2.2.a3 is no longer available that I can find, I hear it can see the 2.5.4 upgrade for joomla. So now I appear to be stuck. 2.2.1 is the latest version that will run on 1.7..

So what do I do now?

Thanks,
Greg

I should also probably add that I did refresh the server inside of Admin Tools Pro and it still only sees 1.7.5.

Looks like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place :( I am making 2.2.a3 available for download again. If that doesn't work, you'll have to go through the scenic route:
- take a backup of your site
- restore it locally
- use the built-in Joomla! updater to upgrade to 2.5.4
- back it up
- remove the files and folders from your live site
- restore the (upgraded site) backup to the live site

THANK YOU once again!

Making 2.2.a3 available was exactly what I needed. I was able to successfully upgrade 1.7.5 to 2.5.4 using that version of Admin Tools.
