What I did in my case was use Titanium backup to backup all my apps and settings for each app, then cleared out everything and started from scratch. Reinstalled Titanium backup and reinstalled all my apps with their settings, and I was good to go, even all my email accounts were already back and settings for each kept by titanium backup.
The only thing I had to do was get my phone settings back to the way it was, vibrate, brightness, etc. But it was fairly really fast because everything else is tied to google

Negative, use a text editor BEFORE booting into Android, while you are still in WinMo. Make sure you save it as a .txt and NOT a .doc.

Wipe the SD card and start over is the best way to make sure it works properly, but you can also just try to uninstall/install with the new cab, it will recognize the old cab being on there, and force you to uninstall it. You may have issues doing it this way, and will need to delete your data.img file to fix the issue.

are you guys using something like "Gen Y Dual Boot" to do any of this?

Thanks everyone

I could use the command path to where this .txt is.

Thanks

No, edit the startup.txt before booting into android. If you are not overclocking, I don't think there is any need to edit the startup text. Be sure your SIM card is removed also. Select Rhod400 for the Sprint keyboard map. Using the Startup Utility, check Force CDMA. No need to check 3D Hardware a this point.

You CAN use Gen Y Gual Boot for this, yes, but I do not. If you install any of my cabs they will give you a startup utility and a start menu shortcut to launch android.

Since I stopped trying to extract the .cab I do get the projectandroid icon inside the SD card when I browse to there via file explorer, but I keep getting installation unsuccessful. I have tried DLing the BLZN cab three times so far.

Could the problem be with this startup.txt? I still have not touched that part.

now that I got the .rar instead of the .cab I see the startup.txt everyone has been talking about. moving all those files now and will see how it goes
