How to unbrick your 6700

I recently had a problem with my verizon xv6700 where it wouldn't turn on. I could get into bootloader, and the hard reset menu, but as soon as i reset it, it did nothing. The screen was blank, the lights were off, everything (no it wasn't stuck in bootloader mode, and yes i tried a hard reset, and leaving the battery out for a few days with no prevail). I figured i had bricked it. This was right after many failed attempts to update to WM6 on Helmi's page (i kept getting 101, 150, and 120 errors). Well this is what i did to free my device from the clutches of doom!!! (lol)

1. I uninstalled the device using Device manager in Windows.
2. I reinstalled using the Vista RUU files.
3. I set it up in bootloader mode.
4. At this point i tried to load one of Helmi's roms unsuccessfully.(error 101 connection error)
5. Now my device was stuck in bootloader(usually a bad thing, but was this time a very good thing!)
6. I used a bootloader unlock tool(uni_bootloader_exit)
7. I then did a hard reset (reset button + 2soft keys)
8. I tried the same Helmi Rom and it worked!!

I don't know if this was a counidence, but i don't think i'm going to attemt to brick it again. Try this, revise this, just thought i'd share my luck.

thanks
