Naah, do it now. ~28 hrs, and made a few calls, works fine.

Radio 1.43 update with a Sprint PPC6700
 

I aslo used the way Everburg suggusted for my Sprint PPC6700. I used the Helmi_APAC_Official_AKU3.5_Kitchen_1.0.4 and extracted the folder \Upgrade\NoID_RUU and placed the Radio_.nbf file into the folder. Put my PPC6700 in bootloader mode and I ran the radio update by running the APACUpgradeUt_noID.exe command. after the update completed i did not do the hard reset. I just did a soft reset and the radio has been working fine. I have not tested the radio anywhere but here at work but i do have a 1-2 extra bars on the signal meter.

1.43 thumbs up!
 

Ran Internet Sharing on it all day as well as a couple of calls on my XV6700 with VerizonGuy's WM6 Alpha4.

Used the Phoenx06_Radio_1.41 tool that came out after the BM AKU 3.3 and just extracted the radio.nbf in place of the old one. I did hard boot and had to set everything up again, but I always do when flashing.

Noticed an extra bar (3 instead of 2) without the external antenna that I run at my desk. Been getting 4 solid bars since 1.41 w/antenna, so all I can say is that my download speed seemed to stay higher (between 1-2mb/s) all day, whereas before it would drop under 1 more often when traffic increased on the network later in the day.

just upgraded to 1.43.....so far so good, made a few calls ok......signal strength has definitely improved!

thx for posting this!

Really? Way cool! gonna try that out!

mine sez it won't work on this phone
something about wrong country or something.
i use sprint, btw

UPDATE

okay, I forced the bootloader mode, and this time it took.
sometimes the flash util will put the phone in bootloader, sometimes it won't.

But I had to plug the file into the Phoenix 1.41 updater to make it work.

working so far

it works fine on sprint i ran most of day

will this work on the new 6800 sprint? thanks

I have sprint and I first tried this in vista. I got the country code error and the upgrade noRUU didn't work either. On XP , however, it installed just fine.

I notice another bar of signal, but what really amazes me is with 3 bars i'm getting 1220 / 65 now and before I was getting 750/70 in the same location. I just tested (2:30PM) and before it was 1AM. It could be congestion, but 1.2mbit with 3 bars is pretty good.

Can someone please walk me through what I have to do exactly to get this to work. First of all, I'm with alltel. I opened the radio file and tried to download. Whenever I click next, I keep getting the prompt: error code 120: wrong country code. I'm starting to get alittle fed up with this because I've done this before with no problems and why now will this not take. I also keep reading about others who have done other things to get this to work. So please, someone tell mew what I must do to get this to work on my alltel 6700, thanks
