I keep having the same error myself. But I don't believe it's specific to this buildOS since I spent a day getting a rom to load from Verizon guy's OS builder too. (I only had trouble with his RC1, not with his 0.6c, but I didn't do it enough with the earlier version to know whether that was a luck of the draw issue.)

So, specs, I have a Dell E1705 laptop running Vista 32-bit, and my phone has bootloader 1.00. Oddly if I try to run the RUU with the phone connected to either of the side-jacks, once it gets to the part in the bootloader, it crashes the program. If I run attached to one of the 4 ports on the back of the computer, starting while not in bootloader, it completes the initial phase, but then has a connection error when the phone reconnects itself through bootloader mode. (I also tried multiple cables, killing all other programs, creating a new, clean Vista user, etc., to no avail.)

After 12 hours of trying, I finally got lucky yesterday by physically disconnecting and then reconnecting the phone toward the beginning of the bootloader phase with Verizonguy's RC1. Today I finally got it to work with Helmi's new WM6 kitchen by starting in bootloader and running the RUU with full administrator privileges. I should also note that I had to run the kitchen itself with full administrator privileges to get that to work too.

I doubt this is related to either kitchen, and more likely related to some Vista-USB mishegoss. I considered flashing with Verizon's stock ROM, but the only one I have is the new 3.3 and didn't want to have to deal with getting my bootloader down from 2.05 to something workable.

One other thing -- in between my first easily successful trial with Verizonguy's 0.6c (which, again, I only ran once so it's entirely possible I just got lucky and the problem was there all along) and my interminable bout with trying to install from his RC1, I found and installed a USB update off of Windows update: 941600 I have since uninstalled that update (as well as the two others I put in at the same time) but it doesn't seem to have helped either.

If anybody has any ideas how to more reliably update through Vista or what I might be doing wrong, I'm certainly all ears -- especially since I just noticed my newly flashed phone seems to now be booting only to a white screen as I've typed thisindicating I probably need to reflash . . .

Thanks also to everybody for what must be incredibly time consuming work. I look forward to playing with my phone as a distraction from the work I ought to be doing.

I have been only able to get the thing to flash one time with Vista, never again after that it appears to be some stroke of luck in timing that made that happen. I since just started using my XP laptop and there has been no further issues.I'm not sure what is up with Vista and at this point I doin't think I'm going to try and figure it out since XP appears to run the flash much better going to just keep using that.

I want to say thank you to all of the team for the outstanding application you have created. Amazing work and thanks for all your personal time and sacrifice that you have put into this. Thanks

Installed the new kitchen and I'm in awe! Unbelievable work of art comes to mind, but still doesn't quite cover it. Compared to the kitchens of the past this one's like going from a horse and buggy to an Apache helicopter! Totally kickass! gguruusa, a fantastic looking build OS! Of course I cannot forget Helmi_c for the WM6! I salute all involved in this here at PPCGeeks. And I will "tip the waiters" but I first must take care of the chef!

Anyone having a problem with Internet Explorer putting a gap in pictures? Or not wanting to download pictures? I get Golf Course fairways pictures that I save for reference purposes. Sometimes there will be 6 shots of a different fairway and on at least 1 of the pics. there will be a separation in the picture.

Forgot to mention that in the gap in the picture, it says "Processing..." with a circular thing going around and around. It can "process" for 10 minutes and never changes.

Also, is there a way to change the dialer skin without building a new ROM and flashing again?

Tonight I gave the little guinea pig Apache a real treat with the new kitchen, and literally jumped out of my chair when I saw my newest fave SIP TouchPal included!!! I love the easy way to include OEMs (built in my little Brit MSVC) and all went just fine,and the new streamlined operation ought to make this kitchen much easier on those just getting started. Tomorrow, I think I'll finally flash my main Apache over to WM6 and leave 3.5 behind for good.
