Confused -- Verizon's 6800 no MMS?

[CEO2B]

Thank you, I did redown load the 5060 and now have mms but cant get GPS back. I gain one but lose another. What bad luck.

I'm using the latest kitchen and I have both MMS, GPS, REV-A, Table Dances and all the other things that the kitchen offers.

My XV6800 Rocks.

Thanks for sharing. What a help.

What program/s are you using to determine GPS function?

Also, make sure the GPS mode is set to "location on" in settings/phone/sevices/location settings.
GPS settings should be com4 with 4800 baud rate and have windows manage connections.

Hey all. I'm a proud (ha ha) owner of a VZ 6800 and I've been told that by sheer virtue of this phone being put out by Verizon, it's basically been neutered. So I Googled Verizon 6800 Firmware and wound up in this thread.

Looks like upgrading my ROM to this Kitchen thingy is the way to go, I visited the thread that someone was kind enough to link, but there's over 100 pages of commentary, so I was wondering if someone could briefly sum up, if I flash my ROM, what will my phone gain? What will it lose?

Thanks.

You won't lose anything (as far as I can tell). You'll gain GPS, Rev. A EVDO, voice command (not voice speed dial) and a host of other things. Plus the satisfaction of hacking your phone.

Ok, that's a relief. I'd love to get those features, but I kinda like Solitaire and I'm trying to learn SQL Server CE, noticed that those two things were singled out as being removed on the 1st post on the Kitchen thread.

Ok, just want to make sure I've got this right before I but my n00b cherry.
1. Run SPL 2.40 to unlock the phone
2. Flash the 3.39 radio ROM
3. Flash dcd 3.1.2
4. Hard reset and enjoy?

I know I've got the .net runtime stuff, do I have to install some kitchen files (wtf is kitchen anyhow) or am I good with just steps 1-4?

This is my first Pocket PC. So the first thing I did when i got it was flashed it. I got the GPS working. I never test the MMS before I flashed it so I don't know if it was working then. Anway MMS isn't working for me. When I open up the MMS program, it says USER@USER.Com. and when I send a picture message, it says Error synchronizing. I can't receive messages as well any help?
