Rusty, I do understand these posts get really confusing and many of these gurus are hardcore geeks and have trouble explaining in simple terms the processes.

Here is where I am guessing you are going wrong, but I am no expert. Only a guy who has flashed two different phones 1001 times!

Since you are using the "leaked" Verizon wm6.1 update you must allow it run all the way through and customize to be a Verizon phone again! This is not true with up unlocking and upgrades that first use the Sprint (I believe) updates but of course you would be screwed with custom Sprint "stuff" after the customization.

So for once this process is as easy as you would hope.

1. Run Verizon wm.61 upgrade
2. Run Vahalla cab
3. Reboot

You must make sure ALL LOCATION ON (i believe) is set under PHONE LOCATION SETTINGS. (see screenshot) for it to work too. (correct me if i'm wrong).

I used Google Maps first and selected the setting that allow for GPS to be used and had a lock in 20 seconds!
