Re: Verizon i910 6.1 and 6.5 Kitchens Ready
The two links you listed are the same, one is just a mirror of the other in case someone can't get to that site, or it gets deleted. After the download is complete normally you have a zip file, but for this one it was uploaded without zipping, so you will have a bin file.

Flashing is basically replacing one OS with another, like if you took a PC running Windows XP and 'flashed' it to run Vista (why I wouldn't know....) so when you flash your phone to this bin file, it will have a different look and run WM 6.5 instead of the 6.1 on it now.

When your ready to begin, you need to open activesync on the PC and uncheck 'allow USB connection' (not sure why, but you do).

Open UMDL, and hit the PDA button near the top left side and in the selection menu, navigate to the bin file and select it. There will be an indicator bar showing it loading into UMDL.

Next, press the top button on the Omnia until it powers down, clich Detect on the UMDL screen (almost on the bottom left side) and plug the Omnia into the PC with the USB cord. Once that is all done, press the top button on the Omnia to power it back up (you will see a flash of a battery symbol, then you can release) and you will see things happen.

UMDL will give you status reports od detecting, loading..... and the Omnia will give you messages and a meter of the loading process as well. Don't do anything until it is done, UMDL will say it is complete and the Omnia will reboot.

Only do this on a full charge, and please read the other (better written) instructions as well, I wouldn't want to see you wind up with a brick because of a mis-step.

P.S. Assuming this is your first flash, if you wanted to unlock the GPS, you need to do the ROM flash on the idoctor page I sent you first, and then this one to get 6.5.

Confusing I know, it does get easier though!!!
