Not likely you guessed wrong...if you have a new buildos, it's WM6 for the Apache and should work.

Yeah I had it right - I guess i'm downgrading this Bootloader - will post back in a few

All right - I followed the directions and successfully
downgraded my Bootloader to version 2.02. I ended
up getting stuck in bootloader a few times and ended
up using the "exit bootloader" utility a few times.

So, no when I put the phone in bootloader mode and
attempt to flash the phone with kitchen, it fails. It
fails using any RUU mode. And jumping through all the
hoops has landed me with, not allot. :D
The good news is that the phone is not bricked.

After getting this error, the phone locks in bootloader mode,
and then I have to reset again

Please advise -

Verify you selected Verizon in the toolbar.

Yes, I did - I even chose all three of the RUU options and selected verizon
in the carrier customize section. Or is that incorrect?

Makes me wanna run right out and upgrade...........

He's no worse off than he started (except for some time wasted).

That's correct. Your problem should be improper carrier configuration (the toolbar carrier selection), given that error message. Just for fun, try selecting <default> (or blank or whatever no carrier is) in the toolbar carrier dropdown. That will pull up the old encoder tool - navigate to the verizon .prj file (I think it's in a subdirectory of tools) and encode. See if that will flash.

If that doesn't work, try flashing any custom pre-built Verizon ROM. That'll tell us if it's your phone or not.

Yes , I am 100% sure I got it right the first time -
To try the 'Just for fun' resulted with the following:
