Yes. Soft reset as soon as you see the "Customizing in 3..2..1" prompt.

Very cool site!

I just upgraded using PPCGeeks' Kitchen by BigJ with no changes to the default setting for Verizon phones. I'm playing an audio book off a storage card, but media player does not continue to play the next track, it just stops when the track is done.

Could someone help?

@Molave
This thread is for wm6, not wm5, which is what is in BigJ's ROM. There is a thread (probably the one you downloaded the ROM from) about the bugs/patches for that ROM.

Err, um, nothing. The dark screen IS the bootloader. Plug your USB cable in and upgrade!

You're not doing anything wrong.

You are in the right place except your USB cable is not recognized.

Changes to USB instead of serial when connected then your just run the program.

May I ask why? What exactly are the carriers installing at this step?

Here's a thread that explains what is included in the carrier extended ROM:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=3660

The reason for bypassing the customizations is that the WM6 ROM comes with all of the customizations built right in. If you let the customizations run after flashing WM6, you'll end up with an unstable phone at best.

Sorry if it has been discussed, but I just did the WM6 upgrade and things seem great, i have the big button dialer, remote desktop client, vnc client, exchange sync every 30mins, radio upgrade (yesterday but this happened before), and really nothing else.

Now with WM5 I had about a 2 ring delay, I could live with that, but now I regularly receive only 1 ring, then the caller gets voice mail???

Thanks,
CHS

I have more of a request than a question if anyone could help me out with this. I see that in the first page of this thread, there is a list of updates and such. I was wondering if someone could post a Complete List of New Programs and Games that come with WM6. I haven't made the switch over yet. So, I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me with this. Thanks.
