Verizon - Official WM 6.1 Update

[ColoTouch]

I had the OMJ 6.1 ROM on there with a Bell pre-flash. I installed this ROM with post customizations. No GPS however with the MR1 GPS steps (vahalla server, etc). Anyone else whose GPS is not working with this ROM now working? What did you do?

Should I run the non-MR1 GPS steps to get it to work?

**Update: Ran the non-MR1 GPS steps and installed the IntermediateGPS driver diag tool and now I get Sat locks in GPSviewer 1.5 and IntermediateGPS diag tool. Hurray! LiveSearch still says can't find GPS on Com0 for some reason. Going to remove and reinstall since I can lock Sats now. Trying other GPS apps will update.

**Update2: GPS working fully now. I can lock in less than 10 seconds with AmazeGPS and LiveSearch (had to change to Com4 in the app) apps! LiveSearch has the best directions and real time sat image integration. AmazeGPS isn't bad for turn by turn voice directions for free.

Is that what you mean by Intermediate Driver? If not what do I need?

In Settings in Windows Live Search, in GPS Port, instead of Port 0, 1 etc you choose GPS Intermediate Driver....I guess its the same in Google Maps...I have to check.

Everytime I tried flashing the WM6.1 update in the first post of this thread, It would keep failing at 44% with an error [262], I'd be stuck with the "colored bars" screen and would have to recover.

To get past this, I had to first use the Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe package.

Then, the upgrade to this VZW WM6.1 rom completed successfully.

After upgrade...

Rom Version: 3.14.605.1
ROM Date: 10/03/08
Radio Version: 3.37.33

I haven't switched my service back to the VX6900, I have it connected to my laptop via ActiveSync.

When you launch PIE, it takes you to start.vzw.com and VZNav is an option to download/install.

Family is coming over soon, so I wont get to put this on my account and try it out until probably tomorrow

Don't you miss the v710, e815,e816?

Tried a previous working setup and it keeps dumping me onto the page to sign up for the added tethering charge from the PC.

Update on GPS

Only Google maps will use it so far. iGuidance 4 and TomTom 7 will not see any GPS unless I launch Google Maps first. If I do they see the GPS but will not lock. I tried GPS Viewer. Same problem. Google locks in seconds and is dead on accurate. If I change the GPS setting from Managed by Windows to manual and select COM4 and 4800bps Google Maps has the same problem getting a lock.

I tried to reinstall valhalla legends gps server but I get an error that it can not uninstall the previous version. Are there manual removal instructions or a different server I can try?

With the valhalla hack you don't want to use COM4 from my understanding. Try telling the other applications to use the GPS Intermediate Driver. If that isn't an option than I don't think they work with this hack but someone can correct me if there is a work around.

And then you want to downgrade to this Sprint Rom DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATINS RUN

And then you want to flash to and let customizations run

Then you need to unlock you’re your phone with
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe

And the you can flash to the Verizon Test Rom and DO NO LET CUSTOMIZATIONS

I’m sure this is the hard way but it worked for me.

What RUU tool did you use to do the VZW flash. I am having issues trying to get this one to run.

The ruu from the vogue ppc kitchen works just fine also fixed one for a friend who disconnected his after it loaded the stock vzw spl(bootloader) by running the upgrade off a microsd card from bootloader.
