Hello folks

I am new to the forum and just purchased a brand new PPC6700. It came new in the box and was represented as Alltel, but after receiving it I found out it was a non-branded phone and I initially could not get it activated on my Alltel account because myself and Alltel tech support could not figure out how to access the settings to make the needed changes. After a couple calls to the seller I found out the default security code of ##000000# had been changed.

Without going into all the details, with the help of this forum and some others I was finally able to change all the necessary settings including SID and NID and finally got the phone working on my Alltel service contract.

Now I will get to my questions and yes I have searched here but could not find all the answers.

I would like to find out if my phone is considered a Apache PPC6700? And if so would I be able to use the Kitchen software to load a new ROM on my phone?

The phone came new in the retail box.
Below are my phone's specs:

UTStarcom PPC6700 and it says that on the front of the phone.
Inside the battery compartment it says "HTC Innovation".
Software ver. 2.06.00 WWE
ROM Date 2-22-06
Firmware ver. 1.12.00
Hardware ver. 0041
PRI ver. 1.00_019
Manufacturer's date 12-Jun-2006
Radio ver. 1.12.00
ExtROM 2.06.706 WWE

I would like to find out if I could use any of the kitchen ROMs for Apache PPC6700?

Also since I am a totally new to the PPC6700 are there any knowledgable users that can make any other recommendations regarding ROMs?

After my previous bad experiences with the Moto Q, I am just worried that if I ever have any major issues in the future and I need to reflash the ROM, I am going to have a problem since I do not have one.

Thanks for your assistance and patience.
