Sorry for the noob question, but I see a bunch of files in the ZIP...do I put those in a specific location on the phone? I've never used bootloader mode, except perhaps when upgrading to the official 2.2. ROM.

Any guidance regarding what to do with the ZIP file contents would be super appreciated! Thanks a ton in advance!

- Doug

I installed this and have also seen significant signal increase. I'm on Alltel and live in small town with a lot of rural areas and so far I haven't gone below 2 bars in areas I wouldn't get any signal. Definitely recommend on Alltel.

DougB: Just unzip the .zip on your comp. Put your phone in bootloader by holding the record button and the power button and press the soft reset button. Connect your phone via usb to your computer. Open up the folder on your computer and double click the RUU file (APACUpgradeUt_noID). Follow the onscreen directions, and wait for it to finish flashing. Then, when your computer tells you to do a hard reset, do a soft reset instead (so you wont lose all your data). After the reset your phone will boot up, and you will have the newest radio version.

This will flash your radio stack to the new 1.41 version. It does not affect your OS version in anyway. The new Bell Mobility AKU includes this radio update, but I have pulled it out in order to allow people to just update their radio, and not have to lose their data. So it will flash like a full AKU, but it will actually only update your radio

Yay, thanks Phoenx06! I now have the 1.41 radio and 4 bars at work! I still have the 2.06 ROM, but that's another story. I'm waiting for the nbk file from the official 3.3.1 BM ROM to be loaded into a kitchen before I cook my first upgrade.

Thanks again!

- Doug

less signal

I did the upgrade and it appears to have installed properly but now my signal is weaker than before by 1 to 2 bars. Any ideas?

Worked for TELUS

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this. I just upgraded my 6700 on Telus and it is working fine. Too early to comment on signal strength, but wanted to let other Telus users know that the upgrade went fine for me.

Can't wait for the new kitchen!
