Hehehehe... No, the OS ROM's are just like Radios... They are ROM's that happen to replace the entiure OS.

I am making a ROM to match the new CE OS. If you got a system that works for you know just back it up, fiund the RMO you flashed with so you can flash back if dsesired, flash my rom, install fresh, test. Decide....

If you want to go back just flash old rom and restore settings.

I think your time is better served doing what you do, and I'll contribute what I can. Before I go live with it, I'll send it to Batman and our skirt wearing friend Robin for a once over to make sure it is accurate.

5 days ago, I had a phone that I couldn't use the slide out keyboard on, today I know:
GPS
trackme
UC
Kitchens
Cooking
Roms
ceregedit
I'm going to spend some time building a complete "how to" with screen shots for those who are in the same boat as me. It will take a day or 2.

When i first got this phone i had to use the stylus to make sure i tapped and it actually responded. I have been flashing no pun intended since i got my wife her mogul( Thank you Scott and Juicy). I think a picture by picture tutorial with complete instructions would be great. As much as these guys are great even i have the tendency to say use the search button. The instructions should also include problems that might occur during flashing and how to fix it. It is more complicated then just do this and do that cus problems do occur often like even though you give perfect instructions. I think PPl can agree i hope.

OK, I get the hint....but it will be a while...I"m leaving for FL tomorrow, and my time to run tests will be limited....Plus, while I'm down there, I "borrow" a neighbor's wireless link to get online....if he shuts it down, I'm screwed (unless I learn how to use the phone as a modem)

Phone as a mode.... Just plug it in and select internet sharing. Booom!

Started the morning with 10 flashes ahead of me.... Down to about two now...

After the next couple I zip and upload the new Rev C2 Core Kitchen and the new CE OS 21015 SYS Files as well as a new Bonus ROM based off the same.

Site is already prepared for the new files.

Even though I have an unlimited data plan, don't they (Verizon) charge you when you use it as a modem like that?

I was hoping you were gonna say use the search button there are lots of thread answering this question. Then do the noob dance around him jk. I like when people say that makes tingle inside.

I'm setting up port forwarding right now, I'll hit you up and let you take a peek at it in about 5 minutes.

I did my flashing on Vista and I did not encounter any issues. Just make sure you download the MWDC 6.1 for Vista.
