gecko thanks for the quick replys. I think I am going to try it out today. one more question I was reading a little bit about the DCD rom earlier and it said something about formatting your sd card to fat 32 and installing from there. Does that still need to happen or was that with an old build. Or is it like OLIPRO that just allows me to connect via active snyc

That was a way for ppl to do it that had PC connectivity issues.

Alright I am caught up in the Olipro step. for some reason I am getting hung up in the boot loader screen. The one with the colors on it. When the dos prompt comes up and asks me to disconnect the usb and plug it back in. Which way are you disconnecting? By unplugging the cord. or disconnecting and reconnecting in active sync? Also when it is complete does the phone just reboot?

Unplugging the cord from the phone. Then it will load the bootloader.

When the bootloader is complete, you can turn off USB in ActiveSync and the bootloader program will trigger the reboot. Then turn USB back on in AS.

well as soon as i unplug the cord from the phone, I am disconnected from activesync. But when i plug the cord back in I can hear the phone connect in windows but it will not connect back up in ActiveSync. When the next screen pops up it asks me to establish an active sync connection. Then click next.

It will let me move forward and upgrade and it says to establish a connection with activesync. I cannot connect to the phone and the phone looks as it is stuck in bootloader. What do you think is up?

Ignore that stupid direction that says to connect to AS. It is wrong. The phone is connected to the PC and the RUU sees it and will continue.

I added a disclaimer to step 3. Please let me know if this sounds right (doing this from memory.)

alright thanks for the correction I have made it past that part and have loaded the sprint rom and did a soft reboot when it said update in 3... 2... REBOOT.

Now i am trying to install DCD Kitchen but am having problems running the BuildNB.bat file. It will run but comes up and gives me an error " could not find c:\kitchen\buildpkg.wrn "could not fine file name specified"
Then says it cannot find romupdateutility.exe

Can you please help me out. Thanks I appologize it just seems to be giving me lots of hiccups.

**EDIT I think I may have figured it out. I didnt have C++ intalled I am going to try that now!

ok i am really close. Now i cannot get my phone to connect to the verizon network. I have tried *228 and that didnt seem to do it. I have triend option 1 and option 2. I have double checked my MSID and MDN and they seem to be in there fine. Any suggestions?

You'll need to call Verizon and have them give you a new AKEY. (Don't ask for an AKEY, though-just say you did a hard reset and act dumb- they'll walk you through it). I recorded my AKEY in case I ever need it again. There's a thread on this somewhere in here.....

I guess I should have asked more questions....is it saying something like "this phone is not authorized", or are you not even getting that far??
