I've followed the instructions in the above link once before years ago with another xv6700 and it went flawlessly from a 32-bit XP machine. Now I'm trying it from a 64-bit win 7 machine and to a different device, but same model and carrier. I connect and start the program, which identifies my current radio firmware ect. (is it normal to only show the first firmware item is being updated and the other two are blank?), then I tell it to install the firmware and my device reboots and gets stuck in bootloader mode and the program doesn't install the firmware. I have to run the below instructions I found elsewhere to unstick it, but I can't seem to get this to install.

Any idea what's going wrong? Do I have to do this from a 32-bit machine? What about win 7?

For some reason this phone seems to loose the backlight most of the time when plugged into a usb port (power or data) and when in bootloader mode I can hardly see the text and have to tilt it to see. I have bootloader 1.04.

I also tried installing PCCkitchen and it didn't seem to like my 64-bit OS when it came time to update it with all the standard ROM's.

I remember when I did this previously I had to put it in bootloader first. Is this a new feature of the program, to automaticaly reboot in bootloader mode?

For thoose who stuck in bootloader this is how to unstuck:
1. Get Mtty here:
