Verizon XV6900 upgrading tutorial and troubleshooting!!! GPS enabled!!!

[buddhatikkigod]

did someone remove my post?

[nutshellml]

I have upgraded everything and everything seems to be working fine. I just can't sync with my Vista WIndows Mobile Sync. It doesn't even recognize the device and I can't set up the partnership manually.

I can however see my device in MY COMPUTER.

#1. I did #8899 to have Verizion to re-authenticate my phone, the reps ask me to do ##778 and the reps say I should have a option to EDIT on the phone to enter the code. but in which i dont see any EDIT option when I dial ##778 and all I get is unable to make the call, the reps say I should have the option, she ask me to take my phone to the local Verizon store have the tech look at it.

Anyone have similar issue have a solution?

#2. when I click the lower icons "Scenarios.exe" I got a error message " The file Scenarios' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this files.

I used the Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe, then run RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.2_Radio_3.42.30 _AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe
then flash with the negamann cooked rom from PC Haven.

any suggestion will be great !

TIA

Out of curiosity. did you happen to let the customizations run when upgrading radio/rom?

As for scenarios, use PHM regedit find and change to HKLM\ControlPanel\ETEN\ScenariosOption\Enable=0 ShowIcon=0

the scenarios part is okay now, i dont see the little icon on the bottom right. Thanks

I did not let the customizations run as you stated on the instruction and while on the tap to customization screen, I did sync it and run custom rom and it went well.
all msm, mms, internet all works. the phone work too, the verizon reps say she did temporary active my phone, beacuse she say I should take it to the local verizon store, but not sure how long will it work, I'm was afraid to take it to the local verizon store

Also I notice on the home page, the icon on the right of the HOME button look like a people where I can enter the my Favorite people, I am only able to add into the first button and the rest even I added and it disappear after I switch around the home or weather button. I can't even delete the first favorite people, once I deleted it and it came back ????

I finally got my GPS working yesterday after hours of troubleshooting but I don't really know what I did to get it working. Woke up this morning and I having a hard time getting it to work again. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

GPS still is suxing

Hi guys, here is some Details on Touch Diamond and Touch Pro For Verizon/Sprint Show Slight Gimpage. Again Verizon will get less speed. any way the good thing ( I thing) is that the new htc touch D. same speed of out xv6900. do you think we can backup the ROM and use it in our 6900?

never mind... just said f it and did the unlocking/upgrade anyway. if it is a virus... then its eating away at my phone as we speak...

finally did it and now im running the new sprint rom. got a little scared when i couldn't make calls or receive calls (but could use the internet) but I called and authenticated and all was fine.

However, call me retarded... but how do i now flash one of the cooked roms on the touch? I downloaded a rom... someones .rar file. Ive searched all over and can't find an answer of how to run it.

for example...

step 7: let the phone sync and tap to begin...

step 8: run whatever rom you feel comfortable with.

but how do i run a rom?

I feel like the answer is right in front of me or there is one small step that i am missing and i can't find out where its hiding.

Thanks

PC-cillin kinda sucks. I use Avast which is free! I doubt it is a virus unless You have a virus that prefers to store a copy in the folder.
