ok ill give it a whirl when I get out of work im posting from my apache

[BelligerentOC]

I'm having some trouble and cannot figure out what to do or where to find it. I'm trying to run this. I'm on vista and my bootloader is version 2.02. When I have the phone on the today I make the ROM and it starts everything up. It gets all the way to what version the 6700 is running and what will replace it. Next it switches to bootloader, but disconnects from the computer.

This is from way back on Page 9. I cant figure out for the life of me how to do this. I found the 3 types of RUU in the upgrade folder. When I click on the folders, I can only get ROMupgradeut.exe to load. It gives me the first screen, welcoming me to the software update utility. I hit next, and it then checks the info on the 6700. Then it crashes. This exact thing happens with both newbootloader and the plain RUU. When I try to NoID RUU, the only thing I can get to run is APACUpgradeUt_noID.exe. This will go until the screen where it is supposed to say what version everything is on my phone and what it will be upgraded to. However, there are just blanks where this data should be...


Does this make any sense? I'm really confused....

Yes I had a look through the verizon 3.3 cabs and added anything that was relevant (almost nothing) to the verizon extrom OEM in the kitchen. I didn't increment the version number because, well I forgot . I'll do that for the next release but for now rest assured that the verizon OEM is up to date.

I held off on including Arcsoft 4 until we get a well-tested fully working OEM. Even then it will only be offered for Verizon users (does not work for Sprint or Alltel). If anyone wants to proceed with that, go right head.



Please post what version of the bootloader you're running. Also try eliminating anything in between your PC and Apache (hubs, extension cables, etc) and try a different USB port on your PC.

I have an OEM for 4.2.8.1 that defaults to Verizon if you would be happy to look at it. Let me know where I should put it. Is there a way to just add it to the kitchen so I could do the testing? Sorry this whole kitchen is sooo overwhelming...wow!

Thanks,
Steve

Yes you can test it yourself if you place it in the USER_OEM folder (at the root of the BuildOS folder) prior to running BuildOS. So long as it has a unique UUID then when you run it you should see it in the right hand pane--not sure what group whoever made it set it to be in though--if you don't see it in the MMS group look if there's a group just called OEM.

Make sure not to select the other MMS package. And you might get warnings about duplicate files one you begin building. Just hit OK to each of those and note down what file names are duplicated.

I will wait to look at it until we get a handful of users who report success with it. So if it's one you made yourself you may want to upload it to the FTP and provide a link here for other users to test it (after you've tested it yourself to make sure it works first).

Thanks!

Enjoy.

The version of verizon customizations listed is 2.07. Are there significant changes from the 3.3 version? Also, how about the latest Arcsoft 4... thoughts?
