[akareem27]

Is it possible to run wm6 on a 6700? i never updated my rom on my phonebcuz i didnt wanna mess it up.But i saw the picture of th 6700 with the htc touch os on the picture on the top of the screen(the page header)IS that possible if so how?

it is possible but you sort of have to know what you are doing and the upgrade is not official. right now i am using the kitchen that you can download from ppcgeeks ftp site that gives me wm6. it isnt official but it works perfectly and dont have any problems. im using my phone to post this reply. there will be no official wm6 upgrade, i asked a verizon rep and they told me so. you have to get the xv6800 to get wm6. upgrading your phone with the apache kitchen is easy if you want to try it.

yeah i do. whats a goot tut.

+1 on the kitchen and it works really good! no issue's at all. You really don't need to know a whole lot, just read up on forums its pretty simple.

You risk bricking or destroying your phone....you are warned so proceed if you are willing to
go here:
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Apache/Kitchens/New/

download these apps:
Helmi_WM6_Apache_Kitchen_071117_1.exe
rev3/PPCGeeks_OEM.rar

run the .exe and it will put a folder in your c: directory

put the "PPCGeeks_OEM.rar" into the main folder that was extracted by the .exe (default is BuildOS and there should be a link on the desktop)

Open the link that is located in the main folder: "Apache_Helmi_WM6 PPC-BuildOS". It will load up a default ROM setup and you can add software as you please. They set it up so that it is very easy.

- You can set the wallpaper that is displayed when you reset the phone.
- You also need to select your carrier (sprint, verizon, etc...)
- When you are ready to burn the ROM to your phone (THIS IS PERMANENT SO DO AT YOUR OWN RISK) his the button that looks like a play but at the top right. It will guide you through the process and the process typically takes around 10-20 minutes depending on how much you have installed.

tip #1:
If you are using bootloader 1.04 you need to set the option at the top called "RUU" to "x.04+" (it defaults to "standard") If you don't know how to tell what version of bootloader you are using press and hold the power button and the button that looks like a tape and then use your stylus to press the reset button. You can faintly see it but it will say either serial or USB (USB if you have the USB cable connected) and then below that will be a version number. I have 1.04. to get out of bootloader mode just hit the reset button. I haven't used any other 6700 but some people seem to have problems getting out of bootloader mode so DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
tip #2:
"HTC Home" which is close to the bottom of the list, is what makes your phone look all nice and cool like the HTC phones.
tip #3:
don't install everything because your ROM (which is where all the files that you select will be installed) only has so much space AND you can't delete any of the files that you selected to install with your custom ROM.

I say do at your own risk because there have been some people that have destroyed or "bricked" as some like to call it, their phone.

I love my 6700 and was scared of frying it because of impatience or just sheer stupidity so I just grabbed the B7 bare bones version. WORKS PERFECT and just as easy as installing anything else.

im going to be trying this upgrade as well, im assuming it erases everything currently on the memory, is there anything i need to save regarding the verizon account? or do i just install wm6 and it instantly connects to phone service?

[dejanat@comcast.net]

I have the same question as above, I have Sprint PPC-6700 and was also wondering what I will have to do to reactivate this phone with sprint after I upgrade to B7 WM6. Could someone email me dejanat@comcast.net if you have done this before with some instructions. Thank You
