Nah, that's not it

There was a time that I needed those answers and I would have loved if they were in one place...so hopefully our n00bs feel more welcome this way.

Thanks for such positive comments everyone!!!

This is a great guide! I have one question: If I am running .122 (or any leaked update for that matter) do I need to go down to .75 (or the last official OS) before upgrading to .132 (or any other leaked OS)? Or can I go straight from .122 to .132?

Thanks for the info!

You can go straight to .132. Good luck.

You need to uninstall .132 from your PC, and only have .75 on there. Then go to app loader and it should do it for ya.

So i d/l the leaked OS. There was no vendor.xml file. What there was was a device.xml.backup file. So i deleted, installed, and now all i get is a white screen that say reload software 507. So i went and downloaded .172 to downgrade and try to fix it. Once again there is no vendor file. What is going on here, and what can i do to fix this?

[olta777]

There is one. Scroll sown to the bottom in that same folder.
