update XDA II to wm 6.1 Dark Lord by xda developer

As I said I am new to all this but a good rom is the wm 6.1 Dark Lord by xda developer "ATHER".

I have been using it for a month now and its very stable, (I will have to donate some £ to him).

When you download the RAR file from his thread, shown at the bottomof this message. All the instructions are zipped into the RAR, as well as all the upgrade files.

Please find Athers upgade "Newbie instructions" below. Takes about 30 minutes to clean and upgrade the Rom.

Ather's Newbie instructions:

Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:

DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton

After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.

Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.

Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".


Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe

Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading ROM Image, please wait....',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.

Detach your device from the cradle.

Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.

Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)

Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES

When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

I have included Athers instructions above because I know I was lost and took me two weeks to find and understand what was going to happen to my beloved phone.
