Put your phone into boot loader mode, start mtty, hit the usb button, enter then enter one of the following d2s 60000000 00800000 is for the radio; d2s 70100000 04000000 is for the OS and d2s 74100000 00a00000 is for the EXT_ROM. once you enter those on Mtty it will download each one to a card. You have to flash each rom induvidually. Copy it down from the one with wm5 then copy it to the other one with wm6. So radio - radio, ext-rom - ext_rom and os - os. To flash them up you just put the sd card into the wm6 phone and put it in boot loader wait for it to say to flash your phone them push the power button. and once you have done each of them you have two matching phones.

OK, so can I go the other way - from a WM6 phone to a WM5 that I cannot upgrade via USB (RUU never gets response from bootloader)? I have a beat up 6700 (no audio) that flashed like a champ with the Helmi_C kitchen and buildos, but the "nice" one I just got on eBay hangs in the bootloader. I upgraded it from a 2005 stock ROM to VZW's AKU3 with their downloaded ROM upgrade no problem, but buildos just cannot get it to connect after it initiates the bootloader (v1.04).

TIA,
