I have the same stats as you and ran it the same way, cept ive used about 3 or 4 different roms since upgrading with the leaked Sprint rom. Everything works but even with GPS Viewer as a primer I'm not getting locks.

By the way OMJ, on the new Bell custom rom you posted. How can I make the percentage 1% rather than 10 %. It used to work fine with the sprint rom. Thanks =)

First off great work OMJ. I have one little issue...

I lost my data connection when I upgraded to your latest VZW ROM. Getting unknown error. It was working on the earlier VZW ROM version. I double and triple checked the MIP settings. I even had VZ do a DMU reset. Made sure I had a public key in DMU folder. I guess I will try to go back to the previous ROM and see if that helps. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have a quick question, how do I get it to show the battery status instead of time in the Top Menu bar?

[TekZones]

Installed the latest OMJ incarnation for VZW and I am getting an error when trying to tether and connect. I do like that I can use the VZAccess Manager as it has some other features that are useful, sometimes. The error is "There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device)."

On the phone in Comm Manager the selection for Modem Link is selected and set to Start. The screen does not do anything else and when I go into comm manager again it shows the modem link as off. Clicking it only brings up the Modem Link screen again and the Start is grayed out and the Stop is available making it look like it is on.

Current signal strength is EVDO with 2 bars.
Data connection with phone only works like a charm and GPS works great as well.

Any ideas?

EDIT: The Modem Link in Comm Manager is supposed to launch Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) but instead it launches a Start and Stop Modem utility that does not seem to do anything. Now if I launch ICS from the menu: Start -> Programs -> Internet Sharing the ICS program starts as usual. That way the tethered connection works. VZAccess Manager does not work with it though which is not a huge deal but just wonder a couple of things: What does the Modem Link in Comm Manager do? Can it be changed to actually work or changed to be like some others that actually says Internet Connection or Internet Connection Sharing? Is there any way to get VZAccess Manager to work? It is a convenient way to get data usage and some other features about your account.

Thanks, Robert

see this is where it gets more difficult to troubleshoot, cuz I'm a Sprint user, so I don't know how the carrier specific features should work. and when those features dont work, it's harder to figure out how to make them work

It would be nice for some suggestions. I am on sprint and have the Sprint customizations, and all. I do have the newest release. New radio and followed all the directions to a T. I've flashed roms before and am a avid user of omj roms. So any suggestions would be helpful. Read through this thread as well which is a bit hard to do lol.

I would verify your PRI has been upgraded....did you run PPST.exe from the leaked rom?

CHEER AGAIN OMJ

however, I have unlocked the 6900 with CoKe 2.31 and upon loading the OMJ ROM, the phone reboots and freezes at the splash screen..

even after changing the unlocker to using the .41 unlocker, issue still exists.

any ideas?

correction - if i plug in the USB cable the screen comes back on, but it's still hung up at that WM6 screen . . .

Guys, follow the instructions on post #1....you MUST flash the leaked rom 1st, to upgrade your radio!!!

and lastly, after i've got OMJ up and running, my phone stopped syncing with mobile device center (active sync for vista users). has anyone else shared this problem?

thanks!

the PPST from the leaked rom is for Sprint only.....

[summerblink]

well, it seems that (in the words of the ancient poet Axl Rose) all i needed was just a little patience . . . i went to sleep and woke up and it was asking me to do the tap screen routine. now my device runs FAST!

[goldengraham]

OMJ ya I'm refering to the new Bell OEM ROM. I had installed the older one too! New one is better. I like being able to uninstall things when i get bored or them or find something better.

Keep up the good work.

I just unlocked my Verizon 6900 using the 2.31 unlocker, updated my radio using the Alltell rom from the first post, and used the custom OMJ 6.1 Verizon rom.

My GPS is not working and I can't make phone calls/send text messages etc.

What's wrong!?

Thanks in advance!
