Procedure to Upgrade an Upgrade

[sharper4]

I just wanted to double check before I do this, but I'm currently running DCD 3.2.3 and need to perform a hard reset (too many test programs installed and removed over time).

I'd like to upgrade to DCD 3.2.5. My plan is to just put it in boot loader mode (the tri-color screen) and run BuildNB.bat to let it reset all the programs with the latest and greatest. At this time I can also re-add back in the games and VPN software that I failed to install during my last install.

Is that basically all that I need to do? Once it comes up, I'll install the carrier cab, reprogram the device and install all my programs back.

Can someone whose done this a few times verify that I got that right?

USB method.
1) Get an activesync connection in WM.
2) Using the kitchen, Run BuildNB.Bat.
3) "Play"... then allow the RomUpdateUtility to run.

That's it. Then do your carrier cab etc.

SD Card Method.
1) Run BuildNB.Bat... "Play"... when RomUpdateUtility comes up... just close it. Find the ROM folder and rename the Ruu_signed.nbh file TITAIMG.nbh. Copy it to your formatted (Fat32) MicroSD card (<=2gb non-SDHC)
2) After copied to card, insert microSD card into phone, then do the "Bootloader" method (Power+Camera+reset)

then follow the prompts. Do your carrier cab... etc.

and no need to do a hard reset prior, installing a new rom will delete everything that you installed, including your contacts. I would recommend just backing up your essentials

Thanks so much! The install was quick and painless. This ROM is awesome too.
