need some help guys..
 
Hey everyone, been using the site for about a month now and finally got the courage to do some flashing myself, have a xv6700.
Downloaded aku3 . 5 kitchen along with . net 2.0 and the wm6 theme, had the same problems as other with the . net 2.0 so downloaded another copy of aku kitchen and started over, flashed my device and on reset its HTC smart mobility screen with the numbers but wont get pass there.
I cant communicate with the device from windows at all, ive done the hard/soft/super hard reset multiple times with no sucess (yes the two -) buttons well restarting.

Also since have downloaded 4 other roms (bigj's and others) to see if any others would work, but the flash util always says problem communicating with device...so yeah im in a pickel.

1) dont wanna go to VZ with a "HTC Smart mobility" splash screen
2) would like to fix it asap so i can start using my phone again, any and all help with this matter is greattttly appreciated!
thanks evevryone

Try flashing the latest official Verizon ROM. Try this first before you take it to a VZ store. If you take your phone in there with an unofficial ROM, there goes your warranty.

So I recommed this:
1. Flash the latest official ROM from VZ
2. Use the phone for a little while to see if you have a hardware problem or if it was just a corrupted ROM you cooked.
3. Try flashing another ROM (JBabey, colonel, etc have some very stable ROMs out there).
4. Assuming their ROMs work, try cooking your own again.
5. If you phone is still crappy, then flash the latest official VZ one and bring it to the store.

jamesus,
thought that none of the other roms were getting me anywhere (yes i did try JBabey and colonel's) that the original vzw rom wouldn't get me anywhere, but downloading it to give it a try now, thanks for the prompt reply.
friend just msg'ed me on aim and told me about the bootloader thing, heard about it before (record and power button) but wasnt told also needed to then press hard reset in combinatiion...then plug into usb..
It's flashing now :-D

well just last nite i went through something similar. thought i was having usb problems...couldnt get a rom to flash all the way and then got to that same screen. got stuck in bootloader and finally got out and all good now....

first...can you get to bootloader?? thats all that really matters. if you can get there try flashing a rom, now use the verizon rom first b/c you probably messed up the radio and need a good install from verizon first. if you get stuck in bootloader (after a flash it wont leave bootlaoder), there is a program to get you out, but you arent there yet. mine frooze 25% into flashing so i had to stop and got all messed up but keep trying to flash and finally did. then you can flash a newer rom...keep us updated...

jamesus 05-18-2007 06:18 PM

Yea...you need to put it into bootloader mode to flash a cooked ROM. That might have been your problem.

friguy3 05-18-2007 06:25 PM

if you can get it to anything...you do not have to be in bootloader to run the verizon rom, only the verizon one from utstar, others you do. that may help you too...
