thanks guys..

well i ended up uninstalling the kitchen, cleaning up any leftovers in temp and etc.
reinstalled with the latest installer, downloaded, updated, etc etc
and noticed the romupdateutility looked different, so i flashed and it worked properly!

mustve been some old software vs new software conflict after that update before
but i'll try to remember that tip just in case i ever need to do that.
