VX6700 Bricked?

So I have a XV6700 that I can hard reset but i get nothing on powerup. No Verizon screen. Nothing. I got it working and everything was going fine until I tried to upgrade it to WM6. Then it failed and wouldn't boot up.. It kept freezing on the Verizon screen, so I googled my ass off till I got to http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33076 ... followed the instructions ... and now it won't do anything.

HALP!

SIDE NOTE

I can get into the USB part of MTTY by holding in power and notes to make the PC register it "dun DUN" sound.

Try running the ROM update again - if that doesn't work, download a different ROM update and try it instead.

If you can get the screen to say anything at all (its a black and white NOT lit up screen..) anything at all?? Then it isnt bricked. Ive done that like 3 times. Grab an old solid rom (maybe the stock). Hold power, tape record, and press the reset. Black and white-hard to see "serial" ? plug it into your computer and reflash to old rom.

Howdy. Your device is NOT bricked. Just hard reset it a few times (two soft keys - - above Send and End) and stylus in the reset hole, then hit Yes to proceed. If the since the device will still be stuck in bootloader (it's a dark screen but if you go under a light you will see "Serial" at the top when it's unplugged from USB, then "USB" at the top when it is hooked up. The bottom will say something like v2.02 or v1.04 Please keep in mind that the number to the left of the decimal stands for the hardware version of the device, it cannot be changed, the number to the right can be however.

Now, with that being said let's try to get this thing out of bootloader. You'll need MTTY. Once that is downloaded make sure it's on your desktop and not in a zip or rar file. Open that program and select "USB" from the drop down menu on the left. Once that is open MTTY and press Enter 2 times. Now type in JUST like this set 14 0, then hit Enter again, now type in JUST like this task 8 hit Enter again. If this phone does not bootup, then poke the reset hole.

I made a quick ZIP of all the MTTY excutables I have here on one of my machines. I don't know which one will work for you, but just keep trying the same steps for all of them until it works. You can download it here.
