Error writing to output file C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\hIq Inc\PPC-BuildOS\9.05.2.6Temp\nk.bin. DO NOT USE IT! Exiting.

Any suggestions on what the problem might be, and how to fix it?

You are probably out of drive space.

What antivirus software are you using? Please try again with your antivirus software disabled.
Please also verify there is plenty of available space on your system drive.

Additionally, please PM me the amount of memory installed in your PC if you are experiencing this issue.

I'm in another country (Israel) using someone elses XP computer. I've blown one travel charger and have been charging my phone with my wife's laptop, but she's away for a few days and I'm now using a regular desktop. I can't get my Apache to charge, much less sync [I couldn't get it to sync with the laptop either, but I didn't really care, as long as it would charge] and I'm a little anxious. I went to connections and 'USB to PC' isn't there!
Also, every time the device sleeps, I get a warning that my battery is low and then critically low. When I go to check and turn the device on, battery levels are fine. Related? Fixable?

Any suggestions?

Were you sure to do a hard reset after flashing? I know it is an elementary step, but many people overlook it. Many of these random, unexplainable issues are usually caused by remnants left from not doing a hard reset.

Now, if you did make sure to do a hard reset, then you definitely have other issues. Activesync can be picky, but I have not had problems connecting. Does the PC see the phone at all? Are you using a USB hub or anything other than connecting directly from the phone to the computer?

Out of Drive Space? How could I be out of drive space? I had 9.5GB free space two weeks ago... Holy Crap, you're right!!! What ate all my disk space? Couldn't be the pron... that's all on my 6700!

That fixed it. I moved a couple old folders to the NAS drive and freed up a couple gigs and what do you know? This thing works like a charm.

Thanks, Guru!!!

Do you have a media center PC that records TV? That has been an issue for me. Had to delete some recorded prorams to free up space.

I noticed on the latest BuildOS that there are a couple of carriers listed twice (Telecom NZ, etc. When I used Telecom NZ, not Telecomm NZ, customisations ran. Should I have let them run? Also which Telecom NZ should be used?

Also one 'feature' I found drained my battery is under Notifications, reminders are by default set to Repeat ***Uncheck this***, as it can easily drain a battery overnight.

Dont let customisations run... it can cause hassles with your phones incoming calls when on standby! (I found out the hard way)

I was told yesterday in chat that this should have been turned off in the kitchen but was overlooked

Sorry, I just noticed I misspelled the filename in an update. In c:\program files\ppckitchen.org\buildos, delete "buildos_config.txt" and rename "buildos config.txt" to "buildos_config.txt". That will take care of the multiple listings. You can also redo the update or wait for the next BuildOS update.

You should not let customizations run, unless you are using Tautoinstall.

SO......why would I wanna take my sweet, stable 6.0 setup and whack it for 6.1? What's the new kitchen doing for us? Synapsis of changes/updates/fixes/patches/anything else pertinent?

Also, I'm wondering if the main splash screen displays the narrow ppcgeeks banner at the top like it did with 6.0?
And what's with the offset crosshairs on the main splash image preview up on the toolbar? Is that showing me what's actually donna display? If I choose a 240 x 320 image I should get the whole darn thing, and not what's "in the crosshairs" so to speak, right?

AND, I'm wondering......with the 6.0 kitchen..POP/IMAP settings cooked in didn't "take" completely and had to be finished manually. Has this been addressed in the new ver?

Is there a bug thread for this kitchen? I found that the description bubble for the 6 button comm manager for the apache and titan are blank. I'm wondering what 6 buttons I'm gonna get. I see I can right clik on an OEM and actually get OEM info now.......that's good.

Xeroendo,

Had the same problem a short while ago. It was driving me crazy since I had done several flashes with the 6.0 Kitchen with no problems. Turns out that occasionally when I hook my 6700 up to my Vista laptop, it installs the MS usb driver instead of using the HTC usb driver. When it does, it won't flash. Same errors as yours. With the HTC driver, I just use NoID RUU and don't have a problem. I've got an old Sprint PPC flashed to work on Cricket. Hope this helps.
