Is there a tutorial for installing WM6.1?

>>If you take a small light or flashlight and look at the screen you will be able to see the word USB at the top of the screen. At the bottom of the screen you will see the version number. Example: 2.02, 1.02, 2.04 or 1.04. <<

<panic>Mine says "SERIAL" at the top, not "USB"!</panic>

Problem? Not a problem?

And I'm getting "Server Unavailable - Unable to connect to remote server" when trying to run the Kitchen...

I'm behind my company's firewall, and I'm guessing that the NetworkNazis have probably blocked the traffic. Can someone verify that the server is indeed up and running??

Thx,

If you plug the USB to your phone then PC it will change to USB. It says serial when nothing is hooked up and USB when it is connected.

That is probably because of the fiewall. When I am at work I just use my phone as a modem before I get ready to flash it. I hook up the phone, connect my laptop to the internet through my phone and viola! Works like a charm for me.

My bootloader version appears to be 1.00 should I upgrade this 1st before going to WM6. I am a severe noob and have *!@*+ up my phone before and do not want to do it again.

Thank you in advance

The only downside to v1.00 is Vista will not connect when you are in bootloader mode.

So, if you're using Vista and don't have access to an XP machine, I'd upgrade to 1.02. Otherwise, stay with 1.00.

How do you upgrade a bootloader?

Thanks I am using Vista so it looks like I will be upgrading.

Follow the bootloader downgrade/reversion sticky. You'll end up w/ 1.02/2.02 no matter what you started with.

There is also a 1.02 bl_03.nbh file floating around that you can just flash like a regular rom flash when you are upgrading from 1.00.

I guess this is as good of a place as any to post my question. When I installed BuildOS, it says to run the updater on the first run. I use XP 64 bit, so the updater won't work. Following the instructions, I do a manual update, and download the files(PPCGeeks_OEM, 000_Shareware, Apache_Helmi_WM6.1). Unfortunately, no where(that I can find at least) does it say where to place these files. My best guess was to extract PPCGeeks_OEM and 000_Shareware into USER_OEM(which seems to work alright) and I placed Apache_Helmi_WM6.1 into the Kitchen folder. Everything seems fine when running the program and making my selections, however, when I go to build, after the donations window it gives me the error "ROM folder does not exists. ROM\XIP\". Of which, the only information on the error would suggest that I am using a selection.txt from an older buildOS, which I am not. And as always, much appreciation for any help rendered.
