Where did you get your PRL from?

Yeah that one will work. Get that ESN added then do a *228.

ok so i re-did everything so i can give you the steps i took. downloaded the v2.02 apache rom in your sig. put radio_.nbf and ms_.nbf from the bell rom available for download on this forum into the v2.02 folder. ran the ruu and let it do its thing. reset the phone and it boots properly. dial *228 and get that alltel cannot complete my call as dialed. According to the alltel tech the esn is in their database. OH! and the 1800alltel1 number still gives me the roaming message. EDIT: yes the ESN is definately there because my old phone no longer works lol. would it be ok to activate it? would the 6700 esn stay in there database so i can try an activate it at a later date?EDIT2: I redid it with the plain v2.02 rom. i put the alltel prl back on. If the phone is in network only mode, verizon answers and wants me to register my phone. when roaming only is selected (all this is under roaming settings) alltel answers. i thought this was odd and might give a clue

The ESN will stay in their database yeah. What method of PRL updating are you using?

i dial ##775, type in 6 zeros, edit, point it to that file, hit ok, then the phone reboots. I tried another ROM and the same thing happens. It goes to verizon when *228 is dialed. so this leads me to believe the prl isnt catching for some reason? i don't even know if thats possible. Ill leave that to you, the expert.

Yeah that's the way. And yes, it sounds like the PRL is not functioning right. Try this one, http://corolada.com/prl/alltel/30029.prl. See, newer is not always better. When I flash Cricket phones I have to try a few PRLs to get the right one. Also, I don't know what the "Special device" ones are, but maybe try one of those should the EvDo ones not work...

OK! So, i think i figured out the issue. when i go into phone(settings) it says the phone number of the phone is that of the previous phone owner. I tried changing the voice mail nnumber to the desired number but that didnt change the phone's phone number. I'm kind of surprised this doesn't go away when it is flashed. any ideas on how to change it? Oh and i changed to that prl you posted P.S. the old phone number is a verizon, which is why i think this is happening.

Wow. This was amazingly simple. I now have 6.1 on my phone and it appears that everything is working...except....my camera.

The button on the side does not automatically start the camera. Although I do not use it a lot, I would not mind having it back.

Oh yeah...the upgrade fixed two problems. The phone was running really slow (it is faster now) and I lost the Internet connection a couple of weeks ago (it is working now). I was not surprised on the phone being faster, but I was surprised the Internet connection was working again.

If anyone has advice on the camera problem, I'm open to all advice.

EDIT: I figured it out! I went into - Start - Settings - Buttons and I had to assign the button to the camera. For some reason, it was unassigned. Everything seems to be working now!

Thanks
Mike

Enjoy the ROM Mike.
