Simple flashing guide w/Screenshots

[jet95]

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.

I tried flashing my XV6700. It is V2.02 according to the boot loader screen. Once flashed "successfully", i unplug and do a hard reset and the screen comes up with Y or N and i hit Y and then space and it goes back to the boot loader screen. Any ideas? I am running windows xp and have activesync 4.5 installed.

It went back into bootloader? You need mtty as well, to exit bootloader. Did you revert a 1.04 phone to a 1.02?

I have tried the directions for getting out of the bootloader posted with something like "get out of 2.04/05 bootloader" as those are the only directions i can find. My phone is obviously infatuated with the bootloader screen and refuses to leave it. So, after reading more and more posts i found a very detailed one on switching from verizon to alltel (which was what i was attempting in the first place) and wish to just go back to the phone as it was when loaded with verizon software. How can i do this or is there something else i can try? Also, after searching i could only find the carrier rom for the 6800, so im pretty sure thats where i messed up and used the .nbf files from the bell ROM.

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).
