I'm returning my previously WM6.1 "Sprint" PPC-6700 (that's so modded it doesn't even recognize sprint anymore) to this Verizon image because quite frankly I'm sick of WM6.1's quirks, bugs, and oddities. Hopefully this will relieve me of the constant crashes, inability to use the DIAG mode, the first-startup-wont-charge-until-standby bug, the can't-use-planner bug, euh... the list goes way on. And it'll probably run faster too.
The link is broken on Verizon's site, but you can access the same page via the site it gets redireced to (pcdphones.com). The link I came out with was
this product downloads page and that linked to an almost identical URL on the Verizon site (which must be the same file),
here.
It wouldn't flash onto my phone (country ID error... which I doubt since I'm also in the USA as has the phone always been), so I spliced the NoID RUU onto the package - extract the files, merge the contents of the two folders in the extraction, then add NoID RUU without the RUU.Conf file (keep THAT file from the Verizon package to get the radio and ExtRom updating).
It's still running on my PPC so I can't tell success/failure yet, but it's still ticking away and seems to be working
edit: Yep! Worked like a dream! Wow, it's like a brand new PPC without the bug-dodging and glitchy startup... clean interface, responsive... wow! A downgrade is an upgrade, it seems! LOL
edit: _wow_ this thing floats like a dream with WM5... WM6 seems like a huge mistake now
