WOW!!!

So I just took my XV6700 out of the box, brand new. No sync whatsoever with contacts etc. I am a previous owner of the PPC 6700. Charged the phone up fully overnight, left on cradle didnt touch. Did a soft reset this morning before I got started. Installed the Rom update package on my laptop. I also did my previous updates on this laptop with the sprint.

Step 1. soft reset phone, not one piece of software in it.
Step 2. Load update on laptop and flash
Step 3. Windows said hardware error on USB and Disconnected USB connection. Nice Ballon Window Notification /At this point the phone has been officially bricked. No screen, no hard reset nothing. I could however do a hard reset and get the Y/N but no screen at all. First I thought was backlight. Then maybe DSOD with memory card, but I remembered I havent installed my memory card yet. There is however the spacer from the factory.

Step 4. Bootloader mode "USB"
Step 5. Flashed with Rom Update. Back to normal.

I guess I am just frightened for customers that arent as savvy as the readers here and elsewhere. I dont recall this issue with the sprint rom updates, of course maybe its just random. Nevertheless, thank god we have a bootloader mode. My motorola razr v3c also has one of these which I have used a time or two when pushing altell sw to the phone and doing seem edits. Different handset/different forum.

Once, again.....thanks HTC for the bootloader mode. I have a feeling this update might get another real quick due to the upside down media player issue.
