Verizon - Official WM 6.1 Update

Can I flash this without unlocking my phone?

Alright I flashed it and it works nicely, but I accidently let half of the customizations run, does this stop my GPS from working? If so can I just flash again?

So I am a newB as well. I have "flashed" the stock ROM back on and the screen on the phone is telling me to touch it to begin set up for mobile based devices. Won't this brick the phone? What is my next step while I am staring at a green screen?

Oh no! Now after I installed a battery registry tweak and did a soft reset it wont send SMS, it says that theres no service but data works. Please help!

with that, you just need to call *228 and hit option 1 to get it back on the verizon network (assuming that is the service you have). i do this after every flash

Oh my God... to everyone struggling with your half-broken "just go for it" phone's (and attitude), I suggest reading MUCH more before you choose to take on something like this next time. Would you be so rash if it was your car?

yes, and actually i am that "rash" that is how progress is made. if something breaks, guess what... i learn from it and fix it. whats wrong with asking for advice when needed? i had a problem where after a flash my phone wouldn't have any contacts displayed, then one day it just magically started working.

and as for the car analogy, how do you think car performance is developed in the first place?

[shadowfender42]

Well Im sorry that you have to learn somehow and the best way is to try stuff. Read all you want its not always going to help or be the same as actually doing the stuff.

no problem, i just know that through many hacks with my old razr i would have to do that, and if that didnt work, i would call verizon from a landline (ie: house) phone and talk with them about getting it setup and it works everytime after that
