Here is what I would do: get an external card reader, screw trying to access the SD card through the phone. Edit the SDConfig.txt and include total commander into it. Get everything in order, put the SD card back in the phone, hard reset and you should be able to work from there.

Well -- 2hr old --was just quitting and going to bed at that time.

Great idea - BUT - I think that is part of the problem...Scott and I both had the same issue with 21015 + Kitchen....Because of an "auto-start" item in the 2577 folder on our cards, the "Auto-Calibrate" function in the kitchen hangs. The only way we get a goood flash is to remove the SD card before flashing and reinsert the card after the customizations are complete. So that means that the UC and Autorun in the kitchen won't work. What I will need to do is to figure out how to put an AUTORUN and SDConfig.txt on a spare SD card so I can use your idea.

Edit1: GONNA KILL HIM!!...GONNA KILL HIM!!!!.....AS a last resort, I used CLEAR STORAGE. That erased my !!!Bored!!! fix. BUT, I also discovered when it came back on that "FILE EXPLORER", still didn't have an icon in PROGRAMS, however, I found it in the MENU list of programs. I never thought of looking there before....it was probably there all the time.....GONNA KILL HIM!!! Still don't have ACTIVE SYNC....So, I'm still going to have to flash a new ROM to get it back - and NOW, I also have to reapply THE FIX.

All I gotta do now is to read directions on how to do a flash from the SD card....then I'm on my way.

i've had problems with UC not running with his kitchens also and found it was my personal OEM. I dropped that and got my calibration back. i would rebuild a new rom and then put your phone in bootloader.
hold power, vol down, then push the soft reset hole but keep the other buttons until you see the tri-color screen.
I flash a lot of times this way because its faster.
Hope this helps.

If that is the case look at the RGU of the OEM you think is causing the issue. It could be a bad reg entry that oer rides the AutoCal or the security.

Good thing you only get 1 call a week, I'd have been sh!tting myself by now! I can't tell you how happy I have not run into those issues yet, but look forward to solving them when they arise. I might have to get a spare phone....
