Help with Verizon Firmware

[The Guy 34]

How do I get the new Firmware v1.08 for the Verizon touch pro?

[j_j]

This is the new update according to them

[beetnick55]

how will this work for people like me who are somewhat n00bish but have already flashed to a ROM such as MightyROM...is there any benefit to getting this new firmware?
will installing it remove MightyROM from the phone?

[RONMAC]

I am going to flash back to stock - relock and run the update and report back.

To tell you the truth, I don't think there are enough benefits to this ROM to stick with teh stock version but that is my opinion.

I will report back shortly.

You don't have to relock, I flashed it just to get the new radio, it will update it from 1.03.03 to 1.03.09.

The 09 might just be for the GPS although I'm not sure. After the Radio was updated I flashed it back to my ROM.

I know but I want to do it just to do it.

After the flashing to MR1, I have found the radio is different as noted above by JUCY (1.03.09).

Free memory without TF3D is about 62 meg. With TF3D running it is about 50 meg.

It is OS build 20769 and is as fast (or slow however you want to look at it) as the original stock ROM.

I did a hard reset using the clear storage method so I would wip the |||bored||| GPS settings I had running this way I can test the GPS a bit.

I am off to do the initial programming and I will report back.

What's amazing is the size of the NBH image, it's 143 Megs which is a LOT, also there's an additional CAB and a PPST updater ot update the GPS as a separate process.

PPST2.01.CAB may possibly be used to unlock GPS without using bored's GPS unlock.

Also the Image had the Page Pool set to 6Megs which is the same as their original ROM.

Yes PPST2.01.cab is the Official GPS unlock for the Verizon Touch Pro. Sadly enough they didnt allow for aGPS still. It's only supported thru VZnavigator.
