[XV6700, PPC-6700 ROM Development] mikearzillo:
Hi, I've been a lurker here for quite some time but this is my first post.

I just tried to upgrade my Verizon XV6700 from AKU2.2 to AKU3.3 using the RUU I downloaded from the pcdphones.com web site (APA_Verizon_31430_314208_14300_WWE_Ship_2.exe). The RUU correctly identified my current radio, CE and Extended firmware versions but failed during the upgrade with error 116 (General Error). Doing a hard reset on the phone brings up the reset screen but after clearing the memory the phone just displays a blank screen. I can manually get into the bootloader (USB v2.05) and I tried re-running the AKU3.3 RUU again but now it says that my model ID is incorrect. I also tried running the AKU2.2 RUU (APA_VZW_20720_206_11000_WWE_Ship.exe) to get back to my original state but it doesn't work either (Error 101 Connection Error).

I downloaded Newbootloader_RUU and tried copying the 3 .nbf files for AKU3.3 into the directory and it seems to upgrade but it only runs for a short time (less than a minute) before saying the upgrade is complete and after doing a hard reset I still get a blank screen. I suspect that the ROM was not actually upgraded.

I downloaded mtty1.43 and I can get to a USB> prompt and have tried a few of the suggestions I found on the forums here but none have helped. I suspect that the model ID and possibly other information may have been corrupted by my first upgrade attempt. Here's some of the info I've recorded:

Before I attempted the upgrade I recorded some information from the phone. I don't know how useful it might be but here it is:
