[pnyce777]

Ok Guys There is also another way to flash your phone wich most of us probly know but for those who dont know or have vista this may be easyer
1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash from the exe or zip or w/e put it on the microsd card rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to VOGUIMG.NBH
3.Put the MicroSD card in your phone and Get To the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card

you can also use this procedure to unlock your phone by flashing the .nbh from Cokemans unlocker just extract it and rename it VOGUIMG.NBH or if your stuck at that HTC screen and cant sync because your phone wont boot up

hope this helps someone it helped me maybe add to first post?

After flashing 107, my today screen is blank for the exception of my calendar reminder. The x-botton is even missing from the top bar. Along with the 107 build, I DL'd InCoKeMaN's 'baseKit-V Build 107'. I suspect that all those files contained in that DL is designed to populate the phoen with expected features and such. Problem is,... I have no idea what a kitchen is. LOL! I've searched and can't find any thread or post explaining what it is and/or how to use it. From what I have read,.... it sounds like a utility or app similar to RUU. I'm thinking maybe I should just dump the files in the basekit folder into the phone manually, but I'm not sure where they would go. They're not zipped or rar, and they seem to be a collection of app exe. and extensions, dll's, shortcuts, and stuff like that.

One other interesting thing about 107, it ran a customization routine at the end of the build, but it wasn't Sprint's! It looks like a European version of T-Mobile.

Welp,... more reading. So let me get started! Thanks again man.

glad you got things moving along good now.
a kitchen is basically how/where you put together what you want in a rom. it is how you make custom roms. try downloading blee0125's vogue kitchen, and give it a shot. make sure and put no2chem's sys/oem folders in so that it is for wm6.1 (at least i thinik thats how you do it! :S i really really do NOT know myself, so if you're nervous, dont do it! that is just what i would speculate.)

if you screw up, you can always do a camera power reset, and reflash

At the end of running the update utility I'm always getting the:

Error [270] Update Error

Image is corrupted

Now I have downloaded about 3 different custom roms found on here, and have also tried redownloading the RUU. Still getting the same error.
