Apache WM6 AKU 0.7.0 Kitchen RC

[werewolf727]

I know there were some issues with the early release of WM6 with people not being able to re-flash their phones back to a previous kitchen or an OEM rom. Before I try this kitchen, can I be reasonably assured that this has been resolved and that I will be able to re-flash my phone back to an OEM rom if this build does not work out for me? Thanks in advance for your answers, keep up the good work!

That shouldn't happen unless you didn't encode the ROM file when you ran CreateROM. Can you explain the steps you did leading up to this error? Are you following all the steps in the walkthrough instructions?

i didn't encode the ROM file (CreateROM)
i put it in bootloader mode and connected the usb cable and ran the upgrade
the error 103 came up immediately

Then you are missing several steps.

The first thing you need to do is read the walkthrough file in the "Help & Support Files" folder. You're better off doing that than asking someone here to go through it for you. It has step-by-step instructions for cooking and flashing your ROM with this kitchen. When you've done that, come back with your questions.

Methinks you are thinking this is simply a ROM upgrade and not a kitchen...

i think you are right. the walk through is not readable.

I had the same problem a while back ...Coulda had V-8 time! It took me a while to figure out but then I don't claim to be the best person in following directions.

I did everything exactly correct (as I think you my be doing) EXCEPT when I got to the very very end of the process I WAS NOT typing in " 1 "or " 2 " or " 3 " while still viewing the "DOS command type window" (I forgot what the window was actually called). After everyting processes in THAT window you need to simply type in the corrisponding number (1 or 2 or 3 and then [ENTER]) that relates to the boot loader version you have ...you don't "open" any files. I found this out by reading (word by word) through the whole process. I sure did feel kinda stupid when I figured it all out. I think you MAY be having the same exact problem.

Hope this helps you out.

Been there, done that!

I remember now! At the end of "CreateROM" is where you need to type in 1 or 2 or 3 depending on what boot loader you have.

Good luck!

Sorry, senior moment!

u probably saved the nbk file in the wrong folder. it has to be in the same folder as the ruu program.. just copy and paste ur encoded file to the rom updrage utility.. make sure u know which one u need to use.. then run that utility and u wont have that problem...coz by default the encode program keeps changing the to and from position of files..

i didn't run create rom
how do i go about this

I had the same problem with Windows Live hotmail sync. I was getting notice that I had 1 E-mail, after looking, there was no account and no mail. Granted I know enough to be dangerous so I rebuilt the OS and left Windows Live off. Built the Rom , loaded then found a Windows Live fix Cab floating around here at PPC. After laoding everything is back to normal. Probably an easier way to fix, but that was the easy way for me.

Very happy with this version.
