Burning friend's XV6700 w/ AKU3.5.04, stuck on helicopter screen
 

I'm burning the AKU3.5.04 Kitchen image onto my friend's XV6700 phone, and the phone is stuck on the PPC Geeks Apache Helicopter screen.

I have burned this exact image onto my VX6700 many times without any problems.

The only obvious differences between our two phones is: I'm running Bootloader 1.02 and Radio 1.41, his phone has Bootloader 1.00 and Radio 1.10.

Does anybody know what's going on? Or, how can I fix it?

Thanks!

OK - I reflashed back to AKU2.2, and uploaded Radio 1.41. The phone booted OK.

I reflashed my AKU3.5.04 image and it still won't get past the helicopter screen. Is there a way for me to easily upgrade the Bootloader to 1.02 (or another working version)?

what do you mean by burning images...? updating the rom?

Yes, sir! I have burned the AKU 3.5 Kitchen numerous times now, and I haven't had a problem until I tried it on my friend's phone. As far as I can tell, the only difference is that he has BootLoader 1.00, while I have Bootloader 1.02. I figure my next step is to upgrade his Bootloader, but I haven't found a way to do that yet.

it is called flashing man. when i first read the thread i though i would open it and see a youtube video of you setting the phone on fire lol.

Yeah, it's also called "burning" by us old hardware dudes, from when we had stick the chips in the PROM burners. Old habits die hard, I guess. :)

Anyways, I'm really confused now. I just updated my friend's phone to the official Verizon AKU 3.3 release. The phone came up fine.

This brought his bootloader version up to 1.04. Then, I tried flashing his phone to the AKU 3.5 Kitchen, and his phone locked up again.

Sigh.

You should try flashing his phone with the "NoID_RUU" that's in the kitchen.
Put the phone into boot loader and that should work.
There's really no need to update the boot loader.

Well, I got my friend's phone working, though I don't know exactly why. I re-downloaded the AKU3.5 Kitchen, and rebuild from there. It worked OK after that.

I'm not sure what was messed up in my old setup, since I had used it to burn my own phone 4 or 5 times now.

Thanks for getting back to me on this, guys!
