Not really sure what the problem may be unfortunately.

I have read in various places that you have to first put the device in bootloader mode, is this correct & is there any way of backing up my existing ROM in case I want to revert back to it.

I am a little nervous of making my pda a brick !!!!

Many thanks

It really is about as simple as you think. I always put my phone into bootloader mode before flashing it, though I think the RUU may be able to do it for you, not sure on that one. If you're currently running a stock ROM on your phone, you would be able to redownload it (there are links around for them) and flash it back to your phone. The other stuff on there (contacts, pictures, etc.) you should sync with your computer before flashing so that you have it all, and so that it can be put back on your phone with the new ROM. To save text messages and other non-activesync stuff, you can use PIMBackup to save it.

Re: WM6.5 build 21501 kitchen

I just installed 6.5 21501 in my Apache. - Only one problem so far. I can't answer the phone with the device locked. The screen pops up showing that there is a call but the hard and soft 'Answer' buttons do not work. The hard 'Call End' button functions correctly -it silences the ring and routes the call to voicemail. The soft 'Ignore' button on the screen does not work.
Any ideas??

Re: WM6.5 build 21501 kitchen

its funny on my apache i get the problem sporadically on all WM6.1 and 6.5 builds, worse is when its locked under 6.1 it will silently crash at random and when i get the call buttom problems i would say it would be at least 2 or 3 out of 5 calls sometimes better sometimes worse i stoped screen locking all together

Re: WM6.5 build 21501 kitchen

Well I did it, cooked up a ROM based on WM6.5 with the Kitchen App, it was really easy. It only upgraded the OS ROM so I never even lost my settings for Bell. Is there any benefit upgrading the Radio as mine is currently 1.14?

Off to cook some more ROM'S !!!!

Re: WM6.5 build 21501 kitchen

Is it just me, or does the Updater still download WM6.1? I did a fresh install, and I selected the last Build and the required files, but when B.OS came up, it only listed Device WM6.1 Apache and it only lists WM6.1 under the OS Drop-down menu.
:?

I liked the new screens but I need to lock my phone to prevent inadvertent calls.. and you can't answer a call with the phone locked. The screen which pops up showing an incoming call blocks access to the 'Unlock' slider.
I'll stay on 6.1 until that bug is fixed.

I'm a 'Lurker' ??? That sounds sinister.. However, my wife agrees with my 'Reputation'.

You should look into S2U. This would be a better solution for the time being if you only had problems with the lock of 6.5.

Do you mean that your drop-down menu for BuildOS says WM6.1 but still flashes to 6.5?
Thanks in advance.

Re: WM6.5 build 21501 kitchen

Yes, the OS drop down still shows 6.1, but the OS that is flashed is WM6.5. I'm guessing that it's a bug with the config file for 21501 where it pulls that info from.
