*** I think I am getting the hang of this stuff, so please ignore this rant, and take a look at thread #108!!!
I would like to think that I am a somewhat intelligent guy. A month or so I was jazzed up with I first loaded the helmi_c ROM on my VX-6700, and got it loaded just nicely. Of course, there were some issues, and when I asked how to resolve them, I would told to download PPCKitchen and build my own ROM.
I did that, but I am thinking that maybe I don't understand the process for getting a successful load in place. I loaded what I thought was a light load, and although it works, I have issues getting my 4GB miniSD card read. One of the other things that I don't understand is that when I used the helmi_c ROM, there were a ton of packages in place, but when I try to add things, I usually end up overloading the memory, or I have issues with G'Reloc which makes for a bad build.
First off, if I have the PPCKitchen, isn't there already some ROMs that I can load on, instead of my trying to be creative? Or am I forced to continuously pick and choose packages and hope that I have a decent build?
People seem to have issues with 20931, but I don't understand how to fall back to a previous version of BuildOS! I see that in reading the guides that I need to make sure that I am using the proper bootloader version, but I am not sure how to figure out what is the proper version!
*** Ok, I have learned that I am using 1.00 of the bootloader... Do I need to upgrade the bootloader???
I have read how people say that the extended ROM is corrupted, but are they talking about the orignal ROM that was from Verizon or can one load a custom ROM into the extended ROM partition (?)?
Considering that I actually use my phone for work, I can't have my phone be flaky. Is there a current Apache ROM that I can load on my phone so I don't have to screw up something that other people have working perectly?
I am sure these are some lame questions, but I have been reading threads and googling, but I have run into a wall... For instance, I have backed up all of my contacts using a thrid party program. That program as well as the contact backups are located on my SD card. Of course, now I can't access my SD card (although I was able to do that previously on an older build) and now I am shooting in the dark on my contacts... I have beyond frustrated!!!
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
