switching parts between tw0 vz6700s

I have a 6700 from verizon that I stupidly updated using the verizon update. Therefore I cannot install wm6 without downgrading and risk bricking my phone. My buddy has a 6700 that works fine, just has some cracks in it. His phone does not have the vz update installed. I was wondering if it is possible to switch certain selected parts from his phone into mine that would have the older bootloader installed, effectively enabling me to install wm6 on my phone. Some advice would be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

So you want to use his main board and use your case, KB and screen? Go for it, as long as he has a clear ESN and you can use it. Or read how to change your ESN

I assume you are talking about the AKU 3.3 update correct? If so this changed your bootloader right? What version of of the bootloader are now running?

There is really no reason you need to swap parts. Use the WM6 kitchen and pick the proper RUU option and you are fine. The RUU option directly relates to the bootloader version you are running.

PM me if you would like to discuss.
