Upgrading bootloader from 1.02 to 2.02/2.05

[Eddie-xv6700]

Hey guys, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything on upgrading the bootloader like this. I found all kinds of info on downgrading, but very little on upgrading.

Anyway, I have a Quest PPC6700 I bought on EBay for $15 as a test phone. I have XV6700 I use as my primary phone, so I figured I'd get another to play with until I felt comfortable enough to flash my daily phone.

My problem is, after reading a lot on this forum, it seems there are a lot of differences between bootloader versions. The XV6700 I use daily has a 2.05 bootloader, and this PPC6700 has a 1.02 bootloader. I would like to have both phones the same so I know what to expect and would not have to worry so much about different bootloaders causing different problems.

I downloaded the newest Verizon ROM (AKU3.3) from their website, but could not get it to flash to this phone. I would get an Error 100 - Model ID Error, or a Country error (can't remember exactly what that one said). I finally did get it to flash using the APACUpgradeUt_noID.exe utility. Now both phones are running a 3.14.30 WWE ROM, but the bootloaders are still different.

Before I found the PPC6700, I bought another XV6700 on EBay for my wife to play bubble breaker (this one cost $10). The guy said he tried to upgrade it and screwed it up so he was selling it as-is. Armed with the info I learned here, I was able to use BuildOS to flash that phone to WM6.1 (I did have to set it to NO_ID). This phone also had a 2.05 bootloader, I had to downgrade to 2.02 before I could get it to flash. Works great now, but now it's my wifes and I can't play with it anymore.

So, any way to make this PPC6700 upgrade to a 2.02 or 2.05 bootloader?? Or is this something I shouldn't stress over and just go have fun knowing the XV6700 will be fine???

Thanks in advance for any and all help and/or suggestions!
