Then perhaps you should add that to your "Flashing For Dummies" on your first post:

=======================================
~~~~~Flashing for dummies~~~~~
=======================================

the first 3 steps are only needed if your on SPRINT and using my ROM, if your on verizon or using someone else's ROM then skip to step 4

1 - unlock your extended.rom (the files are in my thread, look at "known issues"

2 - delete everything in your extended.rom

3 - soft reset

4 - BACKUP your phone by SYNCHING (no other backup will restore your information properly once you update)

5 - download a ROM

6 - put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing the power button and the record button at the same time and soft reseting

7 - put phone on usb cable on windows XP ONLY!!!

8 - launch the ROMS exe file that will flash your phone

9 - click next and dont do anything while its flashing

10 - HARD RESET the phone when done. (HARD RESET) do not soft... (hold the two soft keys and reset, it will ask if you want to remove all data and hit Y)

11 - run through the initial setup for your phone

12 - reSYNC your information back into the phone

13 - Done!
-Rage

my bad, i just assume people have read the thread b4 they "darkside" their $800 phone.

there is a post (page 7) i think, that has the files you need to unlock the ext.rom so you can remove everything in there, if you wanna wait a little bit 9.6 will have a flash file that will wipe the ext.rom for you. sorry i didnt even think of that when i put everything up.

in the interim, the soft reset will work at the 3 second screen.

Great idea.

My phone lost the "radio" file during an installation of a simple "PRL" update when trying to do it using...umm.. "questionable" instructions. I wouldn't recommend updating PRL unless it's either over the air, or with very clean, highly verified detailed instructions. No "radio" = no "phone".
I guess I might need to go to the Sprint store and get another 6700... Phone number 6. lol

I need a ROM that includes the Radio Update to see if I can get it back that way. And/or the official sprint ROM that has the radio in it - which I can't seem to find right now.

Well, I tried that when you supplied it earlier. It's not from the same place I received my previous Official aku 2.2 update - and this one didn't update my radio, so it seemed it might have been something else.
Perhaps it would have updated my radio had something not been wrong...I simply don't know.


Regardless, I'm now getting an error when running it now: "Invalid country ID"

I've flashed with it before without getting the error. But it didn't give me the radio. Also tried going from ROM to ROM and trying each one multiple times in multiple ways but nothing works.

I just need a verified, tried and tested, method of getting the radio back....And perhaps I need to first take care of the "Invalid Country ID" error.

As this is likely not specific to this thread, please post any responses here:

Question
 
I used to use this ROM and loved the extra features. I"m now giving RC4 a try and miss some of the extras. I've looked around, but can anyone point to where to find more information about what programs these are and who makes them:

-Contact/Schedule/Task/Etc. Backup Manager

-Today plugin to see last call made or missed -configurable

-LIVEsearch (great mobile alternative for movie times, traffic, etc.)


I'd love to get this functionality on the new release if possible. Thanks and in case anyone asks, I've already tried unsuccessfully to google them.

Thanks for your help and for the great ROM!
