You've already updated your bootloader - 1.04 is as new as you're going to get (for your phone). BTW, newer is not better when it comes to bootloaders.
What error are you getting and what OS do have on your PC?

Should I be using the 04+ option for this bootloader? Does this 1.04 bootloader mean I cannot downgrade my phone? Thanks, Steve |

1.0x vs 2.0x is a hardware difference. 1.x equipment will NEVER be 2.x equipment.
Yes, you should be using the .04+ option for RUU. You can downgrade (both OS and/or bootloader). Try putting your phone in bootloader first, then connecting your usb cable (ignore the directions in RUU screens - just push next each time). You may need to reboot your computer first. Also, don't connect via a USB hub - connect directly to your PC. |

Now a stupid question...what is the difference, if any, between 1.x and 2.x hardware? Is one more current than the other? Thanks again, Steve |

That's a good question -- wish I knew the answer. Look here for some background: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7820 There are apparently two Apache hardware configurations/generations: g3 and g4. G3 devices all get 1.xx bootloader versions, and g4 devices get 2.xx bootloaders. Whatever differences exist between g3 and g4 devices seem to be minimal, even negligible aside from the bootloader issues - most people don't seem to know (or care) whether they have one or the other.

G3 and G4 are DiskOnChip generations.
G4 is capable of faster read speeds and lower power consumption (which doesn't necessarily relate to our devices), and has more support for DRM. It's also physically smaller and in theory less costly to use. From a functional perspective in a PPC6700, you might get an imperceptibly faster boot time from a G4 and a few minutes better standby life, but otherwise not particularly different from a G3 version. |
