Apache WM6 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0) - UPDATED 20071217

Okay I will search to downgrade the bootloader....I'll see if THIS will work.....

This comes from the Moderator, Naigaboy:

"For devices with 1.04 bootloader, you do not need the fix cos your partition sizes are not affected, thereby remaining the same. You just need to ensure that you are using the newer ruu to flash Roms (if you really want to revert back to 1.02, that is possible also)."

So why do I have to downgrade further for a Kitchen that is supposed to take advantage of an old bootloader? I also had mtty working and I still got the Error 201 message.

[gguruusa]

You don't. you do have to recover from whatever it is you did, which means mtty. The downgrade instructions will get you from a-b without assistance. If you'd like to stay 1.04, then find someone in the chat room to help you.

Well my new phone is now a brick. If I ever manage to save this phone I won't be trying this again....this program proves to be too difficult, even if its a simple setup.

I am sorry that you are having such difficulty with your phone. It sounds like it is being a pain. While I wouldn't say that upgrading the phone is HARD, it is harder than say.. upgrading an iPod. Especially since you have to pick out all the pieces that you want yourself, and while most configs have been setup correctly, or documented not to work, it is such a nice service that is being provided for something that otherwise WOULDN'T WORK AT ALL BECAUSE THE PHONE COMPANIES AND MiCROSOFT ARE GREEDY GREEDY BASTARDS... I would suggest that you stay with your phone's original firmware, or go buy a new phone, as that will probably be easier for you. Again, sorry you have had so much trouble, but as a tech guy with no programming experiance, and after reading the last two pages of comments, it really seems to be a bit of user error on your part that is causing the problems at hand.

His problem was that his downgrade files were missing the downgraded bootloader. No idea where he got them from. Further complicating matters is his MDC is messed up. Nothing to do with the kitchen.

[cheesegrater]

seemed like he got a bit out of shape pretty quick.
what exactly does the MTTY do? and what is AS/MDC. ggurusa referenced them and i'm curious. thanks.

[gguruusa]

AS = ActiveSync (XP systems)
MDC = Mobild Device Center (Vista)

MTTY = Multi TeleType - it's let's you send commands to your phone to do various things like reset it or exit bootloader.

Same program functionality, just named different between the two OSes.

[cheesegrater]

snap! that was quick, thanks gguruusa. figured out the as/mdc right after i posted. made me feel dumb.

[like_butta]

Well better late then never, but I just want to say to Helmi and all the guys that worked on this rom... this is tight! I was really impressed by the kitchen and the custom options that are available.

Thanks again for all your hard work, now on to ftouchflo...
