Trouble installing WM6 on xv6700 PPC

chris2244 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-12-2008, 04:14 AM

Hi everyone. I am having trouble installing WM6 in my Verizon xv6700 (bootloader 1.04) and would like to get your help.

I am getting a "ERROR 201: GET DEVICE DATA ERROR" message before the WM6 gets a chance to install.

Here's what I did: (1) pressed the POWER + RECORD + SOFT RESET buttons on my phone. (2) connected the USB cable to my phone, then to my laptop (3) opened the WM6 RAR file using WinRAR (4) clicked on WM6 data file in order to intall it (5) pressed "NEXT" on the intallation screen in order to proceed with the WM6 installation process (6) about a minute or so later, I get the following message: "ERROR 201: GET DEVICE DATA ERROR".

What's going on?

I repeated the process 4 times and have not been successful.

I would really appreaciate any help you might provide.

Thank you very much.

What version of Windows Mobile 6 are you using? If you're trying to use the .EXE file from Helmi_c and have bootloader v1.04 or over then it aint gonna work. idedanny said he got a replacment, it probably has v2.05 You will need to use a kitchen and get the correct RUU/Rev. Besides, those .exe's are really buggy due to the fact that it was his first release. If you need help on using a kitchen I have a video on YouTube, my channel link is is my signature.

I am having trouble locating bootloader 2.02 for my Verizon Wireless XV6700 PPC. I currently have bootloader 1.4 intalled on the phone and that particular version is preventing me from installing WM 6 because apparently v 1.4 is incompatible with Helmi's WM6 Verion. I'de appreciate any help. Thnx everyone.
