Newbie here -- I've had a 6700 for about 2 years, but gave up on it 23 months ago. I've been looking at this thread and a few others most of the night and am very anxious to upgrade to WM6. I'd now like to bringit back to life. I upgraded to the current Verizon version of the ROM two days ago and now I'm trying to upgrade to WM6

I've down loaded anda followed directions, but still get the 150 error -- this isn't for your device. I'm running the V1.04 uploader. Sync sees my 6700 just fine and it switchs to USB, just won't install.

Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance for everyone's help!!

This is quite a thread, read through it until the wee hours....

How do I determine which bootloader I have on my XV6700? The ROM is 2.07.20. It sounds to me like running the updated bootloader can cause problems when flashing the ROM. I have struggled with this phone for over a year (dropping calls, constant screen misalign, broken joysticks, slow operation, lock ups, trouble answering/switching to incoming calls, bricked itself - no hacks or tweaks, etc.). I just received a new replacement and want to set it up correctly from the beginning.

Thank you to everyone here for providing such a valuable service! I am worried about compatibility with Goodlink but I figure if it is a problem I can always flash back to WM5.

bengraves,
To check your bootloader, push in the reset button while pressing and holding the power and record buttons - this puts your phone into bootloader mode. Then hold it up to a light and read the numbers on the screen. Simple soft reset returns you to normal. BTW, your rom version says the last Verizon update wasn't loaded on your phone, so you should be good to go with an older bootloader.

Just to clarify: Do NOT load the last Verizon update. The newest bootloaders (2.04/2.05) are less desirable than the older bootloaders.

I like the touchflo.
Can you include this in the next build? It is a touchflo config tool

My apologies if this has been asked already (did a search but didn't see anything)... is there a way to return the "NEW" button on the left soft button for SMS text messages? In the old WM5, "NEW" was there / now it's "DELETE" and force of habit has me accidentally hitting "DELETE" when I want to start a new message.

Rob, really good so far -- i finally bit the bullet and went ahead with your build 7 -- a couple of things -- i really liked the HTC x button that was in kirvin's 3.5 -- anybody have a cab of it? also, what about that battery meter at the top of the screen? and the htc home customizer for this version -- where can i find that?

Another question... does anyone know how to speed up the response time for the phone dialer buttons to light up when you touch them? Quickly tapping your fingers on the buttons DOES dial the number but does not light up the buttons they way they do if your finger lingers a little bit longer on them. Is there a way to speed up the response time?
