Hey All -
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the information and help. I got the but to unlock the potential of my Verizon TP last week and thanks to all the detailed posts here, I was able to unlock, load SSK1.5, and get my GPS working.
I was amazed at how easy it was with everyone's help. In fact, I decided it was too easy so I need to screw something up by cooking in the kitchen myself. Hopefully it goes well.
Anyway, I've got donations on the way to the major players, but wanted to thank everyone for sharing their problems and especially fixes. It was a lot of reading, but time very well spent.
Thanks!
