Any insight/help would be greatly appreciated.
pus is only for exchange, imap or pop will still require manualy or timed sync'in g.

Can someone confirm you can still receive calls while the EVDO connection is active, after this update? It looks like this was an issue with one of the other phones.

So I was planning on doing the hard-reset (not install some verizon cabs and features like mms) and this new update at the same time.

Do any of the verizon specific cabs change based on the windows mobile update?

Sprite Backup Upgrade file

EDIT: The UpgradeData.sbu file didn't work on my own device, so I am removing it from my post. Sorry for the inconvenience

For those interested in doing a restore after the ROM upgrade, here is the upgrade file for the new Sprite Backup. Just unzip it and save it to your Storage card with your backup files, run the uprgade, do the Restore in the Device Upgrade Mode, and point to this file.

Thanks to PDAPhoneHome for all the great info and help.

Geeky: Are you saying that the process outlined by Sprite doesn't work with the 6700 for doing a rom upgrade and then restore???

BuzzLitYr,
Sprite Backup reports: Invalid Upgrade file selected.

I have have screwed up using the GetUpgradeData.exe and created my own problems. I would like someone else to get the GetUpgradeData program from Sprite and try it on their device. If it works, share it with the rest of us. I just wish mine had worked, because I don't really want to have to reinstall the apps and tweaks.

If you try it, or need assistance finding it, message me here, MSN Messenger, or Yahoo

BuzzLitYr,

Would you run the GetUpgradeData program and send me to file to test? If it works, I'll post it for others. The file doesn't change anything, it just gets some settings from your device, and will work on any Verizon 6700.

We would all greatly appreciate it if you would be willing to help us out.

It does say they strongly recommend it. I didn't do it, so that might be where I messed up on my 6700. I had used a similar application from SpriteSoftware on my HP 4700 when the ROM upgrade came out for it, and it worked without doing a hard reset. So, in other words, no, I didn't RTFM

I kind of like the Voice Speed Dial. In fact, I"m going to try to get away from installing MS Voice Command.

However, there is a problem though. I can no longer get sound to work through my BT headset for use with other applications. Voice Speed Dial automatically shuts it off after it closes.

I'll probably open a separate thread for this.


Note from moderator: see this the following thread for a link to the solution:

I experienced the same problem..

The updater installed the update, and told me to unplug and soft reset.. and now it won't power on.


If I plug the USB cable in, the PC detects it as an unknown device..

If I pull the battery out and plug the USB cable in, I get a red blinking light on the upper right LED.


Other than that, it appears to be dead.


Edit: Holding down the left and right softkeys and inserting the stylus into the soft reset button brings up the Y/N dialog to do a hard reset.

Choosing Yes appears to clear itself, but it still won't power on.

Holding the power button for 5-10s does nothing.

Those with dead XVs, there were a few Sprint users who ran into this and there is a way to put the phone into bootloader mode and reflash. To my knowledge this fixed the ones with the issue.

If you search the Sprint upgrade thread you'll find the instructions...
