ROM 2.13.666.1 killed my 6800!

DON'T TRY THIS ROM UPDATE FROM BELL! I downloaded and installed it hoping it would solve my Bluetooth issues.

I followed the instructions to the letter, but the phone crashed while rebooting after the update and went AWOL. My $600 phone is now a brick and won't even boot up. A hard resent doesn't even faze it. I'm starting to wish I'd just bought a BlackBerry.

In any case, THIS UPDATE IS A $%&* VIRUS! Beware!

I was trying to find this ROM update on Bell's website. I didn't see it there, nor on HTC's website. Can you tell me where you got it? I don't have this phone, but wanted to see how it was supposed to work and try to find a way to help you. Do you find this valuable?

My Bell bad coaching. Thanks for letting us know. The store in the Eatons centre in Toronto has some good techies, phone them and try to get some instruction. I also downloaded and installed Sprite Backup so that if my phone croaked I could have a backup on my pc, which Active synch doesn't provide. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Again, for anyone using this link BE WARNED it will probably FRY your phone's OS!

Rainman,
This is the page:
http://www.utstar.com/pcd/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=76&cid=16&mid=264&carrier=Bell%20Mobility
Instructions:
http://www.utstar.com/pcd/downloads/PPC6800BM%20Bell%20Aliant%20Update%20Instructions.doc

If Higaran did everything to the letter, I can't see where it screwed up, It has happened to me with my Herald and my Palm. I'm guessing (praying) he/she backed up their info. Reflashing without deleting the program will kill the OS.
