I am having trouble getting the bootloader to USB mode. I have unchecked the usb connection box in Windows mobile device center. if the box is checked it will connect to the computer. but the computer will not recognise the phone when the box is unchecked. Any suggestion?

So your saying when your USB conneciton in WMDC is off, and your device is in bootloader, the bootloader does not change from "Serial to USB"? That is strage. I guess try whatever works...

Hello. New to this forum. Just purchased a sprint version ppc-6700 off ebay. Attempted to flash with aku 3.3. I put the phone in bootloader with no prob. It says v1.00 at the bottom. It gave a "error 120 country code". Now it stays in bootloader, but changes to "usb" when plugged in. I just tried the PDAJ's Clean Apache ROM chose version 1.00 with NoID. It goes to 100%, on both the pc and the bootloader screen shows "ce upgrade complete". I hard reset, no go. Anybody have any ideas what my issues are? I appreciate it.

Try searching how to get out of bootloader. Then you can get MTTY, and send the command for exit bootloader.

Using another carriers nbf won't hurt it. Here is how you get outa bootloader.

oky doky. got it loaded and booting. Now when i dial *228 it says call cannot be completed as dialed (from alltel). So i figured it was because i have yet to register my esn with alltel. I dialed 1800ALLTEL1 and got some nationwide roaming message, that didnt sound like it was from alltel. FYI, i flashed the phone at work on a different xp machine and then it started working fine, so some setting on my xp machine at home must have been mean to it. American roaming network*

No no no no. You need to change the PRL to Alltel. Flashing an Alltel ROM is not gonna cut it. You can run any ROM as long as the PRI and ESPT settings are right...

I had that done with 30038.prl (i hope thats the correct one) and when *228 is dialed i get "cannot complete your call as dialed" and when 1800alltel1 is dialed i get "welcome to the american roaming network...so on and so forth).
