Shut down your phone. Turn it on holding the power and camera button, you should see androids on skateboards.

Apparently, my DREAIMG.NBH was corrupt. I just successfully downloaded the files (again) and downgraded the phone. The last download took over an hour, with speeds wildly varying from 40 kB/s to 140 kB/s but tonight I got a steady 200+ kB/s. I think I may have had corruption in the earlier download. Too bad an MD5 wasn't available (not that I'd have known how to check it anyway :shrugs: )...

Gotta reboot and follow the rest of the directions now... Cheers!

Ok, so I updated to adp 1.1 and now my contacts won't work. It force closes and wll not connect with google or my sim card. What's the deal? What can I do?

[mckoy]

i think I'm doing everything correctly...

I formatted my sd card
Extracted all of your files
Shut down phone
Turn on phone while holding camera... now here is the weird part

The phone goes in a multiple colored screen for a half a second then goes to a grey screen which has "loading" also for half a second... then it goes back to the multiple colored screen but nothing else happens.

Any suggestions?

Worked a Champ!

I'm leaving off the skaterdroids bootloader for now. Don't know if I need it. But root's here now, though...

Thanks Geo!

Bah, wish I'd kept track of time -- I was typing up a document to keep track of my success/failure... oh well :shrugs:

i am looking into installing a theme and while reading the theme creator's instruction he said "also i recommend restoring your defualt theme icons before flashing mines. Remember to back up your phone before installing"...what exactly does this mean?

Tanks in advanced....and for everything u have already done
