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

[TMB_XV6700]

Use the "x.04+" RUU option in the box at the top of the Build_OS window.

Is there any way I can get the password for the Apache_Helmi_WM6.rar file?
I would like to use this kitchen to build a 5.2.1622 Build 18128.0.4.4 ROM that I plan to port to Apache. The reason is because 1622 is the latest real build from a shipped ROM that I have seen.
I don't know if the 19xx ROMs are betas, prerelease, or what, but they are not official Microsoft releases.

Maybe for the newbs and those feint of heart Helmi or someone else might be nice enough to post a sticky thread and then lock it, so it don't become HUGE.....where they could post the PROCEDURE for the WM6 upgrade......step by step....what do we need to know....what we need to do if this happens or if that happens.........bootloader this and OS ver that and rar this but don't unrar that..........

I'm SURE the actual upgrade itself took tons of work by many dedicated people....=D>.....but here comes a jarhead like me looking for info on how to do this cuz I like the GUI...........and it's intimidating to say the least. Of course there's a ton of reading I could do.........but I have ADD..............I need to cut to the chase.

FWIW.

Go to http://www.utstar.com/pcd/view_phone...id=null&bID=39 .
This is latest update but it will also update you bootloader. Why can't you activate your phone through my account on the internet? You can also activate it ver the phone. Saves a trip to the store.

Dude its really easy, just dl the software and get your hands dirty and it will all make sense...

-install the kitchen EXE file, drop the PPCGeeks_OEM.rar in the BuildOS folder

-run the PPC-BuildOS shortcut that you now have on your desktop

-select the apps you want to cook into your ROM by checking the box's in the kitchen

-select the bootloader you need for your device

-click the lil play button (green arrow) in the kitchen to build your ROM

-If its successful it will tell you to put your phone in bootloader, if not it will give an error (Error building file system, exceeded max ROM size), most likely that you selected too many items in the kitchen... uncheck some things you dont really need and click play again if needed.

-Put your phone in bootloader (hold notes and power button and soft reset), then connect to your computer when prompted by the Upgrade Utility. (it will prompt you when youve successfully built a ROM)

-Click next, next, next... wait... when its done, disconnect your phone and hard reset (both softkeys plus reset button)

-Play with your phone the rest of the night, make thank you post here before you go to bed...

Thats it, youre done....

You can call 611 and just give them the ESN and they can activate the phone. If it needs programming you can do that over the air with *228.

Besides, most VZW reps are so clueless they wouldn't know WM6 from Android...

It kinda sucks due to the fact its on a family plan, and last time i went into the store to activated it i need to call my aunt, whos the account holder for the Social security number... but maybe its different over the phone?

when i did the aku3.3 it said the rom wasnt made for my device... and now i dunno what to do to get wm5 back on..i was going to do the upgrade everything, then downgrade the bootloader like i did before to get wm6

I'll make a thank you post right here and now......and say "sorry" to the mods for posting the same stuff in 2 different threads..........

Install the kitchen - I have to be connected to a pc where these files live and transfer them over using active sync, then install the kitchen from the Apache?

How do I determine what bootloader I need?

I appreciate you illuminating the terrain I currently find myself deployed in.

The kitchen is installed on your PC, not your PPC. The kitchen will build a ROM, which will install to your PPC (it'll tell you what to do as you need to do it)

You don't "need" a bootloader different than whatever one you have. Older is better, in the case of bootloaders. The kitchen will work with all bootloaders, you only need to know which one you have...when you enter bootloader, it'll be on the screen (faintly).
