If I want to flash the 6.1 rom, which method do I need to use? I see there are 3 different ways to do it, but if someone could clarify for me, that would be great.

I want the new 6.1 with the cube if that helps.

thanks

Same way as the WM6.0 ROMs. It depends on the format of the ROM you download and your preferences.

If you have flashed in the past with Hard-spl then you have to use it again

If you have not flashed yet then using uspl is really easy

Here's the rom I use:

Open Touch Biggy v3.0 by ttran:

Then follow these steps:

II. How do I flash an NBH file?

a. USPL

Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4N36HLO

Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.

Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.

Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.

Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe

Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.

* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.

Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.

That's it. :-) Welcome to the flasher's world.

Thank you! I figured I would get bashed for not knowing. I appreciate the help more than you know. I will update here soon once I have it up and running. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't brick it....lol

Also, please make sure you have an SPL of 4.0 or above before you use those tools.

Please go there are read the faq in its entirety. There are many things it tells you about the rom that you need to know. The FAQ is the third post. It will keep you from answering questions that have been answered there :)
