Hi there
If the instructions are followed as written, it would be quite hard to brick your device.
As a start you could try Jwright's WM6 rom version 2.02.02, works great for me & I don't have any wifi bug (I use wifi a lot).
I say it's a good starting point as it is an executable upgrade (make sure to d/l the correct one for your device) just like the OFFICIAL roms, only it installs WM6 instead of WM5.
Download that one and give it a go.
That rom is very simple to install as it is a single executable file, with the whole package contained within.
All I did was
D/L the ROM for my device (jwrights 2.02.02, locate it in the forum).
Unrar it somewhere to my pc.
Put device into bootloader mode (power,backlight & reset) a screen with no backlight appears with the words serial vx.xx (x.xx being your version of the bootloader) you may need a torch to see it.
Connect device via usb.
Execute upgrade (file that you unrared to pc)
Once finished (about 20mins or so), unplug device & perform a hard reset (both softkeys & reset until the white option screen appears) and select "Restore" from the options. I believe it's 0 (zero).
This also upgrades your radio rom to the latest V1.15.
Happy bricking!
OOPS I mean upgrading. ;)
