Hope this was not already addressed but for those of you who like to use S2U2, I could not get 1.40 and bluetooth to play nice with Kitchen 4.0 so I reverted back to 1.37 and no bluetooth problems. course I have not quite been using it a day yet so something could crop up but nothing so far.

I flashed a rom from the kitchen just with the basics to try out the stability of the 21109 sys. I think may times the corruptions come from the flash memory not being cleared... can't find the right terms but flash memory or static memory that is supposed to be nonvolatile will retain bit's if not properly prepped.

If I am flashing a PROM or better yet an EEPROM chip on a reflash of even a simple timer register I have to ensure the chip is properly cleared before reflashing the new program. Even then using high quality chips it does not always work the first time... in the past I have gotten failure rates as high as 1 out of 7 or 8 chips don't take the programming the first time. does not mean the chip is bad, does not mean the flasher I was using was bad, does not mean the software was bad....

could even be that the power supply voltage had a ripple or was a little low at the office compared to at home. voltage regulators are supposed to take care of these things but I bet you a dime to a dozen that the tolerance on a USB output voltage is greater than the acceptable tolerance on the flash memory in an HTC Diamond.

You all have got me curious now so I am diving into this one...
