I'm tempted to do this but worried about my luck. I have spb backup. If I run a backup before doing this and save the file to my computer I can get all my programs and settings back after going through the steps in the first post?

Also, it sounds like things may be slow in the process and one needs to be patient as everything is changing.

ok i have a quick question. im done with all the downloading and flashing and installing everything looks ok but when i do ##debug# to check gps nothing is there its all N/A any body use that feature

[deadparrot]

I'm going to attempt this on a xv6900 with the GPS integrated ROM..I want to make sure I have all the steps right before doing it. I'm taking the first post and modifying it a little..

Things to download:
- Newest Alltel ROM: http://216.139.227.226/alltel/RUU_Vo...SpecialNBH.exe
- ImCokeMan's 2.31 Unlocker: http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
- jakdillard's WM6.1 ROM: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/gpstest2.1.rar

1) Connect your phone to your computer and establish an ActiveSync connection.
2) Run the Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe on your computer and follow all of the prompts (including when to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect).
3) After you get into Windows, do the Power-Camera-Reset to get into ImCokeMan's Bootloader (the rainbow screen).
4) Run the Alltel ROM exe file (follow all prompts).
5) DO A SOFT RESET BEFORE THE CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN or you will not have an internet connection.
6) Flash to jakdillard's rom

Is this it? I reallly don't want to brick my phone. Thanks for anyones help

I dont think that is recommended. It is better to reinstall after a ROM upgrade

That worked for me. I ran the 2.0 Unlocker before I did anything else (This will not prevent your current installed rom from still booting before the next step) I then proceeded to flash to the alltel rom. Then flashed to JD's without any problems whatsoever. I thought my phone was bricked at first because only half of the bootloader info was comming up on the very first boot but it all came back after the first soft reset. Hope that helps

Well it's a moot point with spb backup. The software says the backup cannot be replaced on an upgraded OS.

I'll just have to reinstall if I get the courage to do this.

What does one get by flashing the alltel rom and then JD's 6.1 rom?
