The 2.31 unlocker might need a relocker since it won't be overwritten as cokeman states in his thread.

Flashed my Verizon VX6900 with the Alltel ROM... Thing look good so far. Details in this thread:

Gosh I butchered this post. Kinda excited about getting GPS working. *watched, specifically

OMG.... I love Rev. A. I haven't tried GPS yet though.

Tried a few "test" GPS H/W Testers, and I get H/W not found. I just uninstalled GPS enable, and will re-install it now.

Hmm, I tried this on my Bell Vogue, and the first time, I did everything right, it installed the alltel ROM fine, and I have no internet... also, when I try to install the GPS cab, it says the install was unsuccessful... I installed all three unlock files successfully (it even put text messages in my phone to tell me the two .cpf files worked)

You have to install the Unlock files first, then after a soft reset you have to install the GPS Cab, then reset again.

I did the same on my VZ phone and get the same thing. If i try to map directly to the com4 @ 4800 in Google maps I get H/W not found too. EVDO Rev A works good tho

Well that's what I did actually, unlock files, THEN the GPS cab, and I got an unsuccessful message.
