Well the PPCkitchen.org site is down which a lot of us use their WM6.1 kitchen. However you can use the WM6 kitchen for now which is cool and you need to download both files here ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Apache/Kitchens/New/ Run the kitchen files then place the PPCGeeks Oem in My Computer\C:\BuildOS I have two videos on flashing click the second ink in my signature, watch them and it will help you. Also I'm not a moderator but your signature is way toooo long! Enjoy and welcome to PPCGeeks.

I am running ver 2.02 on my ppc6700, will this be a problem of any sort?

The bootloader screen is very dark but if you put a flashlight to it you can make out the version. Will be 1.00, 1.02, 1.04, 2.02, 2.04, or 2.05.

Flashing principles are the same for PPC6700 and XV6700. Just have to select the right carrier customizations.

I am guessing I will lose all the Sprint info setup for my Sprint account, is this true? If so, how do I know what to save to enter it back in so I can connect back to sprint?

I am going with the Helmis ROM located here ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Apache/Kitchens/New/ . Does that mean I do not need to reconfigure the sprint part.

No DO NOT GO with Helmi's rom! Because it was made for old bootloaders v1.00 and 1.02 and is very buggy with WPA-PSK WiFI not working. Just use the kitchen. And no it will not mees up your carrier info. Just make sure the phone is activated before flashing.

I just finished loading Helmi's Version and now I see this. It seems to be working so far though.

Also, I do not know how to just use the Kitchen.

Well if you do want to stay with it install this cab here for a WiFi fix http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...2&d=1191180777 It's not a bad rom just a few bugs.
