@Molave
This thread is for wm6, not wm5, which is what is in BigJ's ROM. There is a thread (probably the one you downloaded the ROM from) about the bugs/patches for that ROM.

Err, um, nothing. The dark screen IS the bootloader. Plug your USB cable in and upgrade!

i didnt have a cable connected... i was just trying to view my bootloader
version so i would know which rom to download.. there are 2 for verizion,

thanks very much for your kind help. ill go

now.,...

after reading all of your compliments to the chef on this upgrade...im not
sure what to expect.. however the original software on the 67oo from
verizon totally sucked. including wm5 in its native form....

MY PET PEVE WAS THE BOWED EDGES OF THE TITLE BARS WHERE THEY
MEET THE TODAY SCREEN..LETTING WHITE LIGHT THRU... THAT WAS
JUST SO TACKY...DROVE ME NUTTS....
then i found some AWESOME programs and a Vista theme that is just killer...
and it solved the bent bars issue... never looked back...

if anyone out there isnt upgrading and would like a copy of this outstanding
vista theme...let me know..ill send it to you.. it was made by some krazy dutchman.... you have to run wizbar though for it to work.

i am going to do the rom ugrade now... IVE TAKEN MY OLD SPRINT PHONE
OUT ONTO THE DRIVEWAY AND STOMPPED IT INTO PIECES AS A SACRIFICE TO THE 6700 GODS .. SO THAT MY UPGRADE MAY GO WELL.... GLAD TO
KNOW ALL YOU GUYS ARE HERE IF IT TOASTS...
ADIOS FOR NOW.... LET YOU KNOW HOW IT WENT....

You're not doing anything wrong.

You are in the right place except your USB cable is not recognized.

Changes to USB instead of serial when connected then your just run the program.

Sorry if it has been discussed, but I just did the WM6 upgrade and things seem great, i have the big button dialer, remote desktop client, vnc client, exchange sync every 30mins, radio upgrade (yesterday but this happened before), and really nothing else.

Now with WM5 I had about a 2 ring delay, I could live with that, but now I regularly receive only 1 ring, then the caller gets voice mail???

Thanks,
CHS

I have more of a request than a question if anyone could help me out with this. I see that in the first page of this thread, there is a list of updates and such. I was wondering if someone could post a Complete List of New Programs and Games that come with WM6. I haven't made the switch over yet. So, I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me with this. Thanks.

Change the slot cycle index of the phone to 0....that's what I did.

Hate to be dumb, but where in the registry do I find this?

And will it affect the battery?

use ##778#

In the View Info soft button, select Modem Settings.

Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is the first field in the Modem Settings page.

EDIT:And I have found that it does affect the battery A LITTLE...since you're polling the towers more frequently.
