Apache WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

[sculptor85]

Hello everyone, I just downloaded this ROM and I'm having a bit of trouble with it. Here are my specs:

OS: Windows XP Pro
SW: ActiveSync 4.5
Phone: xv6700
WM6 SW: Verizon (no 1.02 bootloader)

I've attempted this on both a Vista machine and XP. I manage to get the phone to the "bootloader" mode where I can see (faintly) the word "USB" on the top and v2.02 on the bottom. At this point I plug in the phone to the computer... and get nothing.

I then take the phone and load it up then run the software for the APAC install. I get all the way through to having it show me the version and such, however I continue to see remarks that it has to be in bootloader mode. So here is the question:

1. How can I get the computer to see the phone when it's in bootloader mode?

2. Do I load the ROM before or after going into bootloader mode?

3. Is the faint screen that I'm looking at the infamous bootloader screen?

Thanks for your help!

This is way too scary for me.......all for a nice lookin GUI.......the rest is just "fluff"...........

Programmers have long used "raw" and "cooked" to denote initial datasets and algorithmically processed datasets (back in the old days, people would litterally cook food on top of the cpu when it was doing heavy processing). When someone came up with the idea of taking a bunch of random modules and assembling a ROM on demand, well, that naturally fell into the "raw" and "cooked" paradigm. In the case of ROM building, there's a bit of creative flair and a lot of personal preferrence in selecting the "raw" materials you "cook" with - you need a "chef". Where else would a chef "cook" than in the "kitchen"?

Going with the kitchen/cooking theme, "cooking" is used to describe the whole process and "baking" is used to describe the algorithmic processing phase.

heh - it's a bit more than "a nice lookin GUI" (the GUI is the fluff)

For some reason I keep on getting a connection error when I try to load the rom while phone in bootloader mode. Just stays in USB v1.0 and then I get the error. I am running vista basic. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

update your Mobile Device Center. You may also need to give the RUU utility admin priviledges.

1. itshould "see/" it just by you plugging it in. Activesync won't, but you should get the USB connect tones when you plug it in.

2. after.

3. yes

Just upgraded the PPC-6700 that I bought from a friend last week for $40 with this OS. (I couldn't download the 12-17-07 OS for some reason. It was very easy to install, and fixed the touchscreen issues I was having.

12-17-07 isn't a ROM, it's the kitchen. You can find it in the stickies at the top of the forum.

The ROM this thread is about has been superceded by the kitchen.

ummm is this aku ment for HTC xv6700 Verizon... looks just like the UtStarcom

After hitting "upgrade" it says its reading data on the device and hangs there indefinatly... I've tried both Verizon aku's and the generic...
