Hello, everyone!

I'm in the process of performing a hardware mod on the latest KPW2, purchased last week. I plan on rooting and jailbreak it, and I wanted to detail my progress here.

There has been a decent amount of information available, particularly from knc1, who I admire greatly for his or her hard work. I've been reading about the threads located here as well as here and definitely here and here too.

FYI, I will be using a MicroFTX RS232 to MicroUSB breakout available from http://jim.sh/ftx, ordered in configuration #3, which will allow 1.8v, unlike other boards which go ~3.3v.

Progress will be posted shortly.
