Negamann and others, thank you for posting this... I, like many others have been searching for a good tutorial to do this for over a month. Great job!

For those who are having trouble with text messaging and placing outbound calls after flashing to a new ROM, if the methods are not working as suggested here you may want to try registering another phone (a different ESN) via your account on verizonwireless.com. I registered an old ESN and then re-registered my 6900 and it I was finally able to get it to program properly with another call to *22800.
