Need help flashing

12gage · #1 (**permalink**) 11-25-2008, 03:08 PM

I apologize for my ignorance, and I've been trying to search my way through this and it all seem very confusing. I've finally got up the nerve to flash my apache, I'm still on the stock wm5 and was motivated by the want/need for M2D. And from my understanding you need wm 6.1 to run it. Every tutorial seems to be geared towards the 6800/6900 and not my prehistoric phone, I think I understand the kitchen instructions but can't find how to unlock my phone. Can please help this poor excuse of a phone geek? Thanks in advance.

You are not a poor excuse of a phone geek.. The fact you want to upgrade your Apache makes you know more about your phone then most of the people who own one.. I would check out this thread below... It is a tutorial on how to upgrade your ROM..

No need to unlock the Apache. A case where older is better.

thanks everyone, the advise and links are greatly appreciated. I'll now hold my breath, cross my fingers, and try to step up my geek-dom

quick question, I install BuildOS and ran and downloaded all updates, am I suppose to extract the .rar files, if so where? sorry for my stupidity

no extraction necessary. The kitchen will do that as it builds. Just make sure they are all in the kitchens folder of buildos.

How is M2D working out? Is it slowing things up a bit? Take a look at my post here for some performance improvement suggestions: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=45329

6.1 itself seemed slow at first after flashing, but then after putting on M2D it seemed okay. And now that more time has p***** it seems to be faster than MS when I had wm5
