Cannot Flash New ROM (.rar)

[agedmonk]

Hi, I just went through all the steps for unlocking and flashing ROM on the Wizard wiki. I got all the way through just fine until it came time to find a wm6 ROM. Every one i download is in .rar format and will not unzip properly, i tried using winRAR and such, but my computer wont run them for installation. What do i do?

what do you mean? are you using winrar to open the package and flash from inside the compressed archive??? you have to decompress it first. Rightclick; extract to "rom.rar" ; and a new folder should appear on your desktop. only then you can run the utility.
If your problem is the upgrade utility is telling you that you need a new versiion, then you are probably not completely unlocked. try "wizard service tool" to unlock.
