I downgraded the radio to 1.27 yesterday, so far every call has been good.

damn....I spoke too soon. BT problem still here.

I have tried to upgrade a number of times following you instructions to the letter and I continually get the same error as follows:

ERROR 150: ROM UPGRADE UTILITY ERROR
This ROM Upgrade Utility in not designed for your device. Please get the proper ROM Upgrade Utility and try again!

I left it plugged in and tried again immediately after getting the error but it did not work again.

Any suggestions?

Problem solved. The updater is not compatble with Windows Vista. I did the update from an XP mchine and it worked fine......

Update works well. I have 2 or 3 bars where I would usually get no service or hardly any service..

First of all, great contribution!

So I followed the instructions. I connected the phone to my USB cable. Then I unpacked the new radio software to a local folder. Then I put the phone in bootloader mode. Got "USB", etc. Ran the exe (saw status on both phone and PC), went through the process and then did the suggested soft reset.

As the phone booted up, the HTC splash screen reports radio version 1.41. Good. Then the phone continues to the WM6 splash screen.

And there it stays. I've tried soft re-sets a couple of times but nothing. Just stays there.

Thoughts? What's wrong here?

UPDATE:

Nothing seemed to work. I thought perhaps to flash the radio down to 1.27 (I originally was at 1.10, I think) to see if perhaps it was the 1.41 that my WM6 install didn't like. The file I found had an automatic hard reset programmed in it and thus the phone did fine but I pretty much have it working again. So...I did the 1.41 upgrade and then the soft reset with no problems. I live up in the hills and get a relatively weak 1x signal there. I'll report on the performance of this new radio version shortly.

Hey!
I'm noticing that all *newer* radio firmware seem to have AGPS totally
turnned off.

On older radio: 1.2

I'm able to get AGPS coordinates from Verizon by running fieldtrial and
dialling out to "922"

We have ONE phone with older radio firmware and its the only phone this works on.

It works on EVERY other phone we have access to that *is not* a 6700

So I'm looking for where to get the 2.x firmware?

See: http://stuff.michiganbroadband.com/xv6700-gps/ for photos of
this in action.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve

argh, had to hard reset (on soft reset, it froze on the WM splash screen). I didn't backup PIM and SMS cuz I figured, "I won't need to hard reset, right?" (using helmi's WM6). D'oh! Always backup!!

Anyway, it seems to be working well now. I'll test it when I get home (where my signal is worse than work) to see if the quality has noticably improved.

After update from 1.27 to 1.41 lost 1 bar on average, but gained the battery life significantly. Going back to 1.27

Was hesitant at first about updating radio to 1.41 after reading the ups and downs of updating, but I said "**** it" and went ahead and did it yesterday. Worked excellent! After soft reset, phone booted up and then froze on main screen. Did soft reset again and everything is working lovely! Reprogrammed phone with *228 something else, and I have at least 1-2 bars more wherever I go. I take the train here in Atlanta and I even get a faint signal now underground! Love it. For the record, I have a Verizon XV6700 with Helmi_c's wm6 rom. Now with radio 1.41. Thanx for the upload of the 1.41 radio!!! Much appreciated!!!
