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

[btghostown]

I found a quicker way to update the rom. it is copy & paste from other site, they recommand 2G or less for the MicroSD card, I have use 2G MicroSD work fine took less then 2 minutes for the upgrade to different rom
You must have install ImCokeMan's Vogue Unlocker 2.31 and upgrade your radio to spint or alltel radio first.
Install the new rom

1. Copy the .nbh file from your ROM of choice to the memory card.
2. Rename the file to VOGUIMG.nbh
3. insert the memory card to your phone
4. Power - Camera - Reset your phone to put it into the bootloader.
5. Install and reset.

@platup
what do you want from your phone? I did update my phone and I can't be any happer.
I have the best overall WM (for me I tryed many custom roms but I did not fell my phone acting good, from speed or the layout) for that I flashed my phone with new Bell update ROM. its has many things that maybe I don't need but but I can control what I want. I don't have data plan any more, so I can't till you if everything will work right or not. I can conect my phone to my laptop and use the ubs cable to use the net and its working with out any problem not even config anything..

the good things:
*fast overall windows
*my GPS still work
*call qualty still good



the bad things:
I don't have because I'm looking on the good things!

ka911,
I've been running DHARVEY's rom and everything works pretty good. I was just currious if the radio in the new Bell rom helped GPS, signal strenght, etc... Looking through the Bell ROM thread, I didn't see anyone saying they had tried it on a 6900, but it sounds like it has helped the GPS for quite a few others.

[ka911]

have you tryed OMJs new ROM? its has the new Bell new release Rom, I have flashed my phone first with Bell and then I used OMJ rom for the software. everything work ok for me! some time my internet shared it has some issues but I beleive its my part mt the rom.

I don't know when when I try to use my PC conection for internet it will try to use #777, but I want to use my cable! my weather its working with PC sharing but my net just give me this problem..

You'll need to change your Internet Properties/Connection on your PC to "Never dial a connection". It's dialing #777 as a backup when the cable is not available.

I did fix it by doing:
Start > settings > Connections > Connections >setup my proxy server > deselect the chick box from this network connects to the internet then hit Ok

now I can serve the net with out any problem.


PS: does verizon has PPST?

Is it still the case that pretty much nothing is working to get consistent quick GPS connections with a Verizon phone?
