Personally I hate the verizon boot screen on my xv6700, and the telcom one from aku 2.2 isn't much better. Well that is no longer the case...Here is my current boot screen...



This is accomplished by a nifty file that was made for the universal and adapted for the apache...

Download and extract this file to it's own directory

This is a modified version of some utils and batch file over on buzzdev originally for Universal but adapted to the Apache. Updates the initial splash over activesync with only soft reset required. Worked fine for me over several iterations, but as always, the usual caveat's apply.

Alternatively, you could open a command prompt (still have to install the cab file and establish an activesync connection) at the location you extract the files to and type the following (no quotes):

To read (from device to file backup.nb):
"pdocread.exe 0x3f00000 0x25800 backup.nb"

To write (from file spcs.nb to device):
"pdocwrite.exe spcs.nb 0x3f00000 0x25800"

Reboot:
"preboot.exe"

Thanks will began tonight to work on ppc..
