Wink OEM Original ROM from Verizon website

I have been looking all over for a way to reinstall the original ROM so I could exchange my phone without any problem.

By now, everyone should know your upgrading and downgrading your phone at your own risk.

Here it is. I found it on my carrier's website. It is free to everyone. It is actually considered an "upgrade" but, it isn't. PLEASE NOTE: you must have Activesync 4.5 which is pretty common now.

Before you start to install the ROM, make sure that you soft reset the xv6700. You should not have any extra programs running.

Download and Install
  1. http://support.vzw.com/how_to_use/xv...re_update.html Cut and paste this address to your address bar.
  2. On this page, click on the hyperlink "Download the new software"
  3. Save it to your PC. DO NOT RUN IT. (yet)
  4. Your device should have a good charge.
  5. Connect the xv6700 to your PC using ActiveSync.
  6. Confirm your connection with activesync.
  7. NOW double click on the software file: APA_Verizon_31430_314208_14300_WWE_Ship_2.exe.
  8. Follow the installation wizard. There are 3 stages to this ROM, which will take about 30 minutes to complete.

    NOTE: DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO YOUR DEVICE WHILE DOWNLOADING.
  9. After completing the upgrade, you should perform a SOFT reset.
  10. Your xv6700 is now back to normal
This completely put the latest Verizon ROM on my phone.
PLEASE REMEMBER, follow the instruction to the "T". (If it doesn't tell you to place your phone on bootloader mode, DONT do it...)
