OMJ's WM6.1 Custom Touch ROM w/ UC, GPS, REV A! Updated 5/29/08

[Archius]

Hey OMJ,
I noticed that Pimbackup is only version 2.5 in your current sprint rom v2

There's a newer version 2.8 that went out a while ago, Could you put that in the Bell rom that you're making instead of the 2.5 ? and also in the other roms for everyone else

http://www.dotfred.net/ you can download it here =)

Every time I restore the speed dials they never show up and in the newer versions, apparently they fixed it.

Thanks a lot brother.

That being said, here is what I did:

First step is to tun the unlocker to unlock the phone allowing it to be flashed.

-unlock w/ ImCokeMan's v2.31 unlocker

I then ran the original sprint leaked ROM which also upgrades the radio to the necessary 3.37.15. After running the .exe when the ROM is flashed it will ask you to align the screen and enter the date and time. After which it will count down from 3 to begin provider customization. Perform a soft reboot before this customization begins to prevent the Sprint customization from running.

I finally ran OMJ's custom rom for Verizon.

The only other comments that I have is that after running it took a while for the first GPS lock with GPS viewer. After that, lock was fast. Also, I had to call VZ customer service to authenticate my phone. No big deal.

I haven't tried any of the other ROM's but I know some Verizon users have had success with some of the others. They vary by what programs they have pre-installed, the UI setup, etc.

I take no credit for any of this, it is only through the hard work of other's like OMJ, Dr. Harvey, jim2561, and many others that I had any clue or confidence to proceed.

OK I ran cokeman's unlocker and it says connect your device before continuing. Press any key. Initializing. The system cannot execute the specified program 6 times. The next step will be to load a temporary SPL to run With JumpSPL. Press any key to cont. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong?

Hi, was wondering if anyone on Sprint WAS NOT able to get the GPS to work? I successfully upgraded with no problems, and have been runing this rom for almost a week. Everything works great except GPS. Have yet to get a lock let alone see a single sattelite on GPS viewer or the today plug-in. Much thanks to OMJ for all the support. And for those getting connection errors uploading the rom, mine crashed repeatedly until I unchecked "Enable advance functionality" under settings ->connections->usb to pc.

I've never been charged a dime forf tethering with my computer, so I'mnot really that bothered by it, but it really should say Sprint PCS.

-If I download and run the writedmdata.exe file from someone else's vougue, would it make the changes, -or would I screw things up?

are you seeing this while tethered?

ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/OM...S.OEM.Bell.exe


Custom

ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/OM...ustom.Bell.exe

There is only one thing I'm not sure of....the stock Bell rom has a Music program just like Sprint does, but when I launch it I expected to go to a Bell site, but it went to the Sprint Music store.....can anyone tell me more about the music store the stock Bell rom has?

I unlocked, then uploaded the leaked rom, and let the customizations run. Then I uploaded your rom and let the customizations, and THEN I ran ppst. Is it necessary to run PPST while on the leaked rom, before flashing yours? I might have to start over again. Thanks for your help. Also, it doesnt seem like I'm running REV A speeds. It seems to run at the same old speed. The connection icon hasn't changed either. Maybe this is also dude to my improper install? Certainly doesnt feel like 1.4Mbps/s
