Did I brick it?

Moments like these you feel like an idiot.

Its been soo long I can't even remember the last time I updated rom to my phone.

So I decided to download it again. I put my xv-6700 in bootloader mode. made my selection, pressed play, plugged it in, got confirmed and after a hard reset, the screen goes black after the very first splash screen.

Suspiciously at this moment, and not a very distant proximity to this occurance (within an hour) I got a call from Verizon wireless offering me a new phone & to upgrade. (IMO they knew, but unsure)


So, I played dumb and said I'd call back.


I did a little research and noticed I HAD TO HAVE AN ACTIVESYNC CONNECTION before attempting to update the rom, supposedly.


So at this point I have my hopes are in just putting the phone back to factory settings /w UTstarcomm VErizon aku

And this rom wont flash without having an activesync connection !!!! and at this point I can't get it to activesync with this black screen!!! ugh

Help.



Oh btw, my bootloader version is 2.05, jik. Thanks

You don't need to have an ActiveSync connection. Just hard reset 3-4 times. It's gonne keep going into bootloader. Then plug in and flash with the stock AKU3.3. since you have version 2.05 bootloader. You will NEVER brick an Apache.

I'm still getting communication 101 errors after resetting. But I have been tring with the previous version aku jik,,, but from what I understand the 3.3 is an upgrade rom, are you sure 3,3 will do the trick?

[PDAPhoneJunkie]

Yes. Or try the kitchen

It seems to be some issue with the computer, after tring a million times on my laptop, it flashed the first time on my desktop.
