Sprite's backup program does have an option to restore after a ROM upgrade/downgrade. I've used it and it works. It isn't an intuitive process and does take some extra work (and the instructions are not well written), but the results are good. Not perfect, but good.

Once you get into bootloader, you're screen will go black and you'll see "Serial" written on it. Connect the phone to your cradle. You'll see "USB" written on the screen now. After you extract the exe from the rom .rar, run the exe. It will then tell you what to do. Once finished, make sure you hard reset (you'll see the "Press Y to restore to factory" screen.)

Hi. I tried installing the Verizon version of the WM6 ROM -- however it gave me an error 150 that I was not using the correct rom upgrade utlity. I did make sure that I was using the 1.02 version as my device says 1.02, so what else can I do?

I am using Vista, but the executable seemed to have no trouble running.

Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

Well finally a big bummer for me. My device has worked great for 2 days now (Verizon xv6700). The only thing I did is install Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 (love that app!) this morning. It worked for a couple hours after the install, so I don't think that was the problem. The device just locked up on me so I did a soft reset (first time since upgrade). It got past the HTC screen, but never got past the Windows Mobile blue/green splash screen. I reset it multiple times, pulled the battery, etc. What a bummer. I just really finished getting it all setup.

Just did a hard reset and it got past that screen and is just finishing up the Verizon customizations, so I assume I am good to go again, but hours to get everything synced with both PCs, Exchange, customizations, etc.

Thoughts?

Hmmmm..... anyone else have their ringer play at excessive volumes. I turned myt ringer down to the lowest volume before vibrate, and it rang during a meeting. Loud as all hell! Uhg.

Excuse this question if it's a repeat (the search feature of this forum kinda stinks).

Getting MMS error, "Error Synchronizing" when forcing a send/receive.
Seemingly not receiving and MMS, Pix or Text messages unless I send one out to myself from my phone.

Using ArcSoft MMC Composer Version 3.0.6.24, that came with the WM6 ROM (as per this thread). Verizon user.


Any ideas?
