Restore 6700 to stock ROM for exchange

#1 (**permalink**) 04-16-2009, 02:28 PM

I need some help. I have a 6700 that won't connect via usb anymore and I need to get it restored to stock ROM as I have received a Touch Pro to replace it.

Can anyone tell me how to find and install the OEM ROM via memory card? (If it is possible, that is.)
All I seem to be able to find is the custom ROMs, which are great, btw, as I have been running one for quite awhile.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

You don't need a USB connection. Please leanr to search and read people. Put it in bootloader and just run the excutable. You really don't have to flash back, they will flash it themselves...

OK, I appreciate the information, but, if the phone is in bootloader mode, and I have no way of connecting it to my computer, how am I going to run an exe from anywhere?
I have flashed the phone a few times before (via the usb cable), so I'm not completely new to the notion, but I must be missing something in what you said.
If you can make it any clearer, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

When you connect it to a computer, there doesn't need to be USB sync connection, just plug in while in bootloader and flash the ROM.

Well, I guess I should have been more specific.
When I said it won't connect via USB, I meant to say: The USB port is physically broken and cannot be connected to charge or connect to a computer, period. This is why the phone is being exchanged.
Again, is there a way to install a stock ROM from the memory card, as this is the only way to input data into this phone?
If not, I guess it has to go back as is.
Sorry I didn't make it clear earlier.
Thanks

Okay gotcha. I don't think the Apache can be flashed from an SD card. Just send it back as is, they will flash it after it's repaired...

I haven't been able to flash it from SD. My axims do it, but that is the bootloader's default function...

Yeah, I have been able to from my Mogul, but no no on Apache. Bootloader must not be able to.
