i'm stuck in the bootloader.. it says Serial at the top center and v1.04 at the bottom.. i've tried several ways listed to get out of the bloody boot screen.. i'm not too new to this, however this is getting quite frustrating since i am on vista... i have access to XP computers but those havent worked either.. any idea on how to get my phone OUT of the bootloader?
perhaps anyone can tell me how to flash it back to factory settings?

or just suggest any way to help me at all?

thanks in advance..

Vista RUU? it's the same ruu for all OSes. Just make sure you've updated your Mobile Device Center to the latest release.

Any chance this thread is related to my problem?

I just got a 6700 from a guy on eBay in almost perfect condition to replace a beat-up 6700 (mostly beat up before I got it on eBay over a year ago it seems - one last bump by me broke the audio jack loose from the mobo, and apparently that breaks ALL sound except via bluetooth). I practiced reflashing the ROM on the old one with Helmi_C's WM 6 package from ppckitchen, and was eager to try it on the new phone.

But first, when I saw the new one had a really old ROM (ROM version showed in Device Info as 1.<something> with a 2005 date), I thought I would be playing it safe by re-flashing first with the update from Vzw's support site, and that went like a champ. Then I tried applying the Helmi/buildos flash - RUU starts, reads the current values, and drops it into BootLoader mode (I guess - black screen with "USB" at top in faint "negative" color), but the process seems to hang, and after a minute or 2 RUU comes back with a lost connection type of message.

Since then, however, I have not been able to get the new 6700 into bootloader mode manually (RUU does it just fine) no matter how I try to finesse the timing of pushing the voice recorder and power buttons, and poking reset with the stylus - just resets every time. I have little problem with putting the old 6700 in BL mode, so I have not "lost my touch" I even reflashed the old with a few more tweaks to the ROM package I "cooked" with buildos. (right after the same flashing failed on the new 6700).

One more interesting bit of info (I hope) is that when the "new" 6700 is in BL mode (via buildos' RUU now) I see a big "v1.00" on the 6700's screen, whereas on the "old", soundless 6700, it shows 2.02. Is that the BL (BootLoader) version? Is that a fatal combo of 1.00 with the Vzw update? Any workarounds like combining my nk.nbf file with the Vzw updating program files?

TIA,
rokky

Correction: the "new" 6700 has BL v1.04, not 1.00. I just retried the flashing in case a complete restart from last night's attempt would make any difference - no-go. The RUU ("Device Software Update Utility EC:256 CB:") message is "ERROR 201: GET DEVICE DATA ERROR".

I did this last month on a device I upgraded to current aku from starcom. Whoops! took the boot loader to 2.05.

The kitchens wouldn't run on this bootloader on my 6700.
I was able to get through the google caches and find the bootloader fix instructions but it only set me to a NOID_RUU.

Is there anyway to revert it back to the proper RUU? Did I miss something in the docs? I can't upgrade the radio because there isn't a NOID_Radio firmware update... argh... darn things!
