Ive never flashed a ROM before and am v.nervous. Especially since I use a tethering service for internet at work; super scared it's not gonna work once ive fiddled with all this stuff.
Again, apologies for lack of knowledge on this subject. When it comes to my ppc, Im fairly nervous when it comes to changing things that involve hard-resetting. |
The search option is your friend, but here is what I did. I have the rom update utility (the link I used to download the file is now dead, but if you search, you should be able to find one), it will/could have several files in it, including romupdateutility.exe, or something similiar. Just place the signed_ruu.nbh file that you downloaded in the folder with the romupdateutility.exe file, and run it (you may need to overwrite the signed_ruu.nbh file already in the folder). Make sure your phone is connected via active sync when you run the executable to update the rom. Then, just sit back and watch as the process runs. I'll see about uploading the rom update utility I used, so it can be downloaded (it's about 60 mb, as it contains a rom...21501, I think).
When I upload the files, I will post back here. It's really easy...don't sweat it. I used a laptop, that way, if the power went out, I didn't have to worry about the update process stopping, and potentially bricking the phone.
