Im with you on this one

I couldn't use the ROMUpgradeUT.exe utility included with the 1.43 radio. I copied and pasted the 1.43 radio (radio_.nbf) into the "NoID_RUU" folder in one of Helmi's Kitchens under the folder "Upgrade" and it worked for me. I also did a soft reset only after updating and everything worked.

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.

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.

I tried flashing this way and it worked! Thanks for the hint... I did not preform a hard rest I and everything seems to be working fine although I'm not noticing any signal improvement in my reception I'm still on the border of x1 and EVDO in my house if i'm lucky I get 1 bar of EVDO mostly I go into roam 1x Ive been running the new radio for about 4hr and I don't see much change

Sweeeeeet.

I was getting the 120 country code error also. I was corn-fused.

Followed the directions in post 20 on page 2 and only did a soft-reset at the end. All is working well.

So far, more bars everywhere I go even inside our steel elevator. Download speeds between 500-900 k/sec on EVDO. Seems very quick.
