Re: Apache WM6 Clean, No Junk Version

Even more confusingly, when the mouse hovers over it, it shows "OS type".
It's no wonder I was so frustrated with this on my older, but nicer XV6700 just acquired on eBay, that upgraded just fine to Verizon's AKU 3.3, but sat there like a lump with the Helmi_c/BuildOS flashing attempt, while my beat-up, 6700 updated just fine, but no audio (jack broke off mobo) makes it useless as a phone. The difference was in the "Bootloader" version - the nice phone has v1.04, and the beat-up one has v2.02, and apparently BuildOS's default works with 2.02, and not 1.04 - I had no clue how to deal with that until I read your post, and took a chance that the v1.04 "Rev/OS type" really meant the BootLoader version - YESSSSS!!!!!
THANK YOU!

...and if you'd read the tips file that should have shown during install and is available from the Help menu, you'd have known REV=Bootloader version.
I'll fix the tooltip - never noticed that error. Thanks.
