What OS?

If Vista try turning UAC off or log in as the true "Administrator" account (you must enable it first).

And regardless of OS, try putting the phone in bootloader mode yourself (power+notes+soft reset) before beginning the flash.

You might also try running the bootloader NOT from the kitchen, and see if your experience is any different. The cooked ROM and RUU can be found in {install path}\upgrades\{your RUU type}. Double click the .exe file.

The BuildOS application runs great for me... this is actually the first time I've tried to use a kitchen and I find myself impressed and slightly overwhelmed. Anyway, I made all my selections, compiled my ROM and loaded it onto my phone as so far it's been working great (for all of 20 minutes :) ). My problem seems to be that I can't save my configuration.... when I try, I get the attached error (using either save or save as provides an error).

OK, I am trying this in Vista Home Premium. I have tried the activesync drivers for my USB, have tried going into bootloader before updating rom and tried running the rom from its installed folder. I always get the same error that the RUU has stopped working and MS with let me know when a solution has been found (yeah right). My XP machine is on the fritz and I am getting really anxious to get m cooked rom. I have previously flashed Mayers C&S WM6 from this computer with the driver change. Is no one else having this happen to them? AHHHHHHHHHHH

Stardestroyer,
Try using save as and give it another name. I think the problem may be that you are saving as Apache_Helmi...etc which is the standard build of Helmi's(just a sample build) I save mine as 110707_1 Which is date plus build number for that day. If I make 2 builds and want to save the second I name it 110707_2. Hope this helps but I may be totally wrong with my answer.

I believe that the calculator skins "Tensor Blue" and "Tech" are reversed, as the Blue one is gray and very "tech-y".

Thanks, actually they're not reversed--the error is that the "Tensor" skin shouldn't have the word blue in it--not sure how that got into the name. It should just be "Tensor".

It will be corrected for the future--but for reference here is the page listing all the SPB Calc skins:

I do not have a Patches folder in the root of BuildOS. Is it okay to create it or did I get an older copy?

Thanks for that info though. Nice planning.

I have Vista Business and the same thing is happening to me. I also have an XP machine so i was able to successfully flash.

I plan on trying the Vista machine again so I can get some info to give to the developers to help them figure out what is happening. Although it's not happening to everyone with vista.

Nah if you don't have the patches folder you should download the latest version of the kitchen from helmi's post at the top of this forum. The latest version has the patch folder and a newer build of the app that honors files placed there.
