Apache WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

[DManton]

I am trying to get past the initial learning curve and have read nearly all 107 pages..eyes red... Where I am at is.. I have the Verizon Rom and was able to decompress it to the proper exe. I have the ability to put my phone in the boot loader mode with the indicator going from Serial to USB (v1.00). These are my issues"

1) What happens is when I have active sync connected and position my 6700 in bootloader mode active sync seems to suggest I am NOT connected..Is this normal?

2) When I am in booloader mode and clock on the APAC exe, the Dos window opens and closes immediately without any change the phone screen and still indicates the USB v1.oo in the dark screen.

What should I be doing to make the rom write to my phone...thanks

No, you don't let them run.

1) yes, that's normal.
2) open a DOS window (command prompt), change directory to wherever APAC.exe is, run APAC.exe - do you see an error message?

[DManton]

Yes...the message in dos window is "Program to big to fit in memory".

FYI...newer laptop..lots of ram...

another question if I may...I read some say to disable the USB settings in Active sync....should i?

thanks...and stuck..

[DManton]

Everything now working fine..had the wrong file name an dafter corrected the routine worked perfect and WM^ is up and running as expected....thank you

help!
i tried to install, i got an error 101(connection error)
now my phone is stuck in boot loader mode. installation program and active sync do not find it and my computer keeps telling me "usb device not recognized".
I tried to hard reset, it asked me if i wanted to return to factory default, i hit y, it went back to boot loader! Does anyone have any ideas for me?

[kevinakasmiley]

i am on sprint btw.
my screen now says Serial at the top, and v1.00 at the bottom.

<rant> Wow... I almost never say this, and never here before, but people REALLY need to just look/search before posting. I do realize there is a lot of information on this forum to sift through, but most problems have been answered or at least addressed. I think "stuck in bootloader" and "should I let my carrier customizations run" are the most asked questions/problems here. Not trying to make anyone mad or displaced but there are a lot of people spending lots of time on this forum, and seeing the same questions over and over again gets real old real quick. </rant>

Second sticky on the apache forum http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7049
which is titled "Sticky: Stuck In Bootloader? Heres What you need". Hope that fixes you up.
