Few n00b questions

[jabu]

Once you have the BuildOS issues out of the way, here is the quick and skinny.

1) Put your phone into bootloader mode. Do this by holding the power button, the record button, and pushing the reset button. Note somewhere what version your bootloader is. This is VERY important.

2) Fire up BuildOS. Select your wireless carrier and your bootloader version.

3) Select what you want to install. Start small, just install some basic features. If you cram too much crap in the ROM it will cause the problems that most n00bs have.

4) Hit the play button to build the ROM and flash the phone. If you get any errors, just keep clicking ok. It should eventually work.

5) If, when all is said and done, it works then you are ready to add more stuff to your ROM. If you have bootloader 2.02 or less, you should be fine. Higher than that and you want to limit what you install as the ROM partition size is smaller. CHECK THE ROM SIZE BEFORE FLASHING! Make sure your rom isn't too big and you will have minimal isues updating your phone.

6) If you think you bricked your phone, you are wrong. Hard reset a few times. Re-flash. Reset. These usually bring it back up.
