No, he is just saying it doesn't make the phone better, but it makes the PDA functionality better. So if you use it soley for a phone don't bother. If you use the PDA functions it is the shiznit.

I have bootloader v.104. When I build with the kitchen it will not upload to my 6700 with this program(it keeps timing out or can't read my 6700). I was able to update my unit to wm6 with a pre-built version by updating files that came with aku 3.3 but, can't do it with this. I have tried this under Vista and XP. Any idea ?

Hi All,

My Boot loader says 2.04, so I was just wondering what RUU should I setup in the Kitchen?

- Standard or x.04+?

Also I know that somewhere in this post there was a limit that we shouldn't pass in Mb, for the Kitchen that I cooked, the nk.nbf is 64Mb, is this too big?

Thanks, in advance,

64M sounds about right. 70-75 M is do-able, but might give the stuck-at-second-bootscreen error you get when your ROM is too big. The 2.04 bootloader also limits the size you can flash, so I wouldn't go much bigger than you have with 64M. I'd say that the .04+ would be the one to use.

Thanks for the help, I'm rebuild the ROM with the x.04+ RUU option.

Now are there any Bell Mobility (Canadian Bell) that have implemented the WM6 kitchen on their PPC-6700 and what was your experience with upgrading to WM6?

I'm a bit of chicken and don't want to brick my phone so I'd like to know that another BM client has used the latest Kitchen / PPCGeeks_OEM.rar and was successful.

I've also heard that you can go backward to AKU 3.3.1, if it fails, but I'm wondering how that works when the docs says that once you've upgraded you can't go back?

Thanks, in advance for the help and experiences.

You shouldn't be able to make a ROM that's too big anymore (leading to lock ups and WSOD), unless you have 2.04/2.05 (which has a slightly smaller (300KB) partition size that I haven't accounted for yet in the configuration files).

ROM files for the Apache are fixed size - they're always 64MB, regardless of how much or how little you try to pack in them.

You can always go back to the last stock OS for your carrier. The problem is reverting bootloaders. It's possible to revert bootloaders too, but it's more challenging. For you, however, there's no need to revert bootloader as your carrier supplies the most recent bootloader in their stock ROM.

Are you picking 04+ from the RUU option in the kitchen? If not pick it and you should be ok. I had the same issue when I got a replacement 6700 with the 1.04 bootloader.

Hey All.. I am sorry if this has been answered, but I have been looking everywhere and cannot seem to find a solution. I just received a replacement xv6700 with bootloader 2.05. I created a Rom using the Build/OS utility and flashed it with X.04+. The flash said completed successfully however when i soft reset or hard reset the phone, I can see the initial Boot splash screen. After that, all i see is a white screen. I can hear it load but i am unable to see anything but a white screen. Can anyone please help?

Thanks

You'll need to take out just a little bit more from your ROM. Even though it flashed, white screen means too full. 2.05 doesn't let you fit quite as much as previous bootloaders.
