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.

I truly appreciate all the thanks man... and you are most welcome, it's my pleasure to give something back as well!

But never forget... there would be FAR less to help with, if it wasn't for Scott's KICK@SS work!!

If you (or anyone) ever has a buck or 2 extra in your pockets... head over to Scott's site and kick the brother down some love!!!!

Let's keep him motivated people!!!

Scott,
Can I just flash a new OS to try without creating a whole new ROM...kinda like you can do with the "radios".

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.

Sweet! That would be excellent. Let me know if you need help. I have been struggling trying to do the same. I cna do it just not enough time between flashing test builds ;c)

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.

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.

Totally agree!

Example:
You can say, use UC... but what happens when you place something in your SDConfig that hoses the whole process.... and you know you're gonna do it a couple times while testing. An easy way to recover from that (which there is) needs to be put with the "use UC" comment!

Man we could all pitch in and make a true wiki for the first few posts... then we could totally refer people to portions of that when the same questions get asked!

That would rock!

yeah... do it, do it!
(whatchin starchy and hutch today if you cant tell)

Or what about even unlocking the phone to begin with it says plug in usb and and run program oops. But the phone disconnected and it wont run it. There are countless problems that might happen. Sorry to mention Scott but example say some guy unlocks the phone and follows the instruction to flash his rom not knowing that Sott's latest build was corrupt while running windows 7 losing his internet. He would cry and then i would .

Here is the thing> BABY-STEPS I've written the proceedure for Flashing (pending approval) I added no extra info, just a step by step.

I agree that there should be an UNLOCKING proceedure also and UC etc. If they are maintained separately like chapters in a book or a lesson plan, then they will be easy to follow. If they are conglomerated then its a mind freak for noobs. I can say this because yes, I am a noob.
