I'm going through this. I would need more time for this. Kitchen is much better. I have no clue on programming. I have a problem. "I feel there's a bug in WM6. I'm not sure. I had original ROM and it synced all my PIM data well. Now with WM6, it does not sync. Contacts 3692/3998, Calendar 0/457, Notes 37/37 and Tasks 5/81. The total pim.vol size is 15.4M from File Explorer. The format is PPC/Outlook. These got synced. I have no clue why is this happening. Is there some restriction for the pim.vol size? Total pim.vol size was 16.2MB.Or are there any other kinds of restrictions? I read someone saying that having 10,000 contacts is not a problem. I'm nothing near to that. I've used the latest kitchen. Do help me please. I ran the kitchen from WinXP machine. I sync with Vista. Is there a way to get the no. of contacts, calendar, notes and tasks like outlook? This would be good. I'm giving this no. from PIMbackup, I also checked through Stools. I didn't do anything else with the above mentioned 2 programs.".
Please help me here.

Hey guys, I am running Vista with WMDC 6.1.6965. I have managed to run Kitchen and cook the ROM with no issues but when it goes to flash the phone, I get the error message. RUU has Stopped Working. Windows is checking... At this point my phone gets stuck in bootloader mode requiring the use of the Uni_exitbootloader.exe app. When the phone finally gets rebooted, I still have WM5 but all of the settings are back to the original settings, email, preferences etc are all reset. Any ideas what the heck i am doing wrong?

Have you set the RUU to run as administrator? Right click on the RUU.exe you use (they're in c:\buildos\upgrades), select properties, check Run as Administrator.

Yes, I have been running it as Administrator. It appeas that the RUU is simply crashing.

No, it won't. You need a mogul kitchen. Check the Mogul/Upgrades forum.

Not sure what the problem could be. I'd try reinstalling MDC.

I have reinstalled MDC and had the same results. Also turned off UAC and had the same results and finally ran it again as Administrator with the same end results.

After I get the RUU has stopped message, I will sometimes get another box stating the ROM download failed.

Any other suggestions on what to try?

is there as way to disable the "PPC Geeks Helmi_c" banner that displays at the top of the screen with the main splash graphic? It's not a function of the graphic, as I'm using my own. I suppose I can live with it if necessary, but if it can be aced, I'd rip it off. I like my stuff clean.....


thx

Sarge,
There is a method, and there was quite a bit of animated discussion about it earlier in this thread or its predecessor thread or the BuildOS thread. Just search them for banner and you should find gguruusa's comments on it.
By the way, using the latest BuildOS with the 121707 kitchen, the banner is gone from the default splash.
