I feel ya, but I think you are missing one of the best features of the phone. Don't use dial up use tethering/internet sharing instead.

Hopefully Rob has already sent your disc.

Hi gguruusa,

My bubble was burst when I used the latest kitchen to build what I thought was a very simple and straightforward custom WM6 ROM. Its my 5th time upgrading (3 times on 3.x and two on WM6, one on the Oct, the second on the latest). After this latest install the phone was locking up constantly and draining the battery at 4 times the previous rate. While traveling I decided to use Rob's (helmi based) WM6 Verizon ROM . I can see why people here seem more excited about Rob's work than helmi's. The upgrade took no decisions and it works well. A phone that doesn't work can be a disaster (was for me this week) . Rob is performing the services of what's termed a VAR in our business. He's taking technical tools that can be dangerous in the hands of an average 6700 owner and creating something that works and is easy to install. Not all people have the time to experiment with the kitchen and rebuild after failed upgrades. I'm posting this so users trying to make up their minds about whether to upgrade know there's potential for failure using the kitchen but with Rob's (helmi based) WM6 ROM their phone will work.

maybe someone can help me..im coming from helmis cooked wm6 ..trying to change to this clean wm6...anyways when i try to do this, i place the ppc into bootloader and the program says:
___________________________________
Error 150: Rom Upgrade utility error
This rom upgrade utility is not designed for your device. Please get the proper ROM upgrade utility and try again
___________________________________

now i KNOW this works becuase i used the clean wm6 before i used helmis cooker for wm6..so can someone explain why this cannot flash over the clean wm6?

--thanks

YEAH!!!!!!! I FINALLY GOT IT DOWNLOADED!!!!!! installed it, checking it out now and i LOVE IT! only one problem. when the phone first came back on i got a message that "sddaemon cannot be opened" and that it couldn't be found? what is this? where do i find it and what do i do?????

Only other complaint i have is that i dont like the colors it has. grey? blaa! so i'm gonna see about downloading some skins and i gotta get tunes too! but other than that i love it!

Okay, last night when i finished downloading this it was after 1am so i couldnt exactly try the phone then, but today when i went to use it i found that 1. my contact list cant be pulled up and 2. half the time the phone just doesnt even ring. i guess thats what the sddaemon that it couldnt open is about? message with that file was "the file 'sddaemon' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file". Well, the problem is persisting. suggestions on what to do?? PLEASE????

Did you hard reset the phone after you flashed the ROM?

brahamamamma · #**658** (**permalink**) 02-23-2008, 02:00 PM

hi Rob! (god are YOU a sight for sore eyes!!!)
Yes, i did hard reset it. still no go. so i backed up the stuff i wanted to back up and went back to factory default and now i'm going to reload your program and see if that helps anything. good idea? or do you have other suggestions?

brahamamamma · #**659** (**permalink**) 02-23-2008, 02:18 PM

okay, i did the reinstall and it seems to be fine now! hopefully this got it all fixed!

Don't be ridiculous. You didn't have to experiment if you didn't want to. The default selections file in the kitchen will build a perfectly functional WM6 phone that works - and you won't have to make a single decision. The beauty of the kitchen is that not only can you make a variety of pre-made roms easily, you can customize them IF you want to. You don't have to.

If you built a ROM 6 times, it must not have been that dangerous

You'll notice from the prior few posts that you don't necessarily end up with a working phone when you use a premade rom, either. Upgrading is a complicated process, far from perfect no matter how you do it.

My point, btw, was that pre-made ROM distribution is a dying concept, not that there is something wrong with Rob's ROM (other than the original C&S designation - I see it's been appropriately relabeled to just C now). Heck, I use someone else's ROM too (I don't have time to experiment either) - but since mine was built in the kitchen, I don't have to configure or reload anything when I'm done flashing, no matter who's ROM definition I use. That's simply awesome.
