Verizon - Official WM 6.1 Update

[imdarkside]

vzwtechbill your wrong. your companies phones crack. there is a lengthy thread on this here. Im on my third and this morning i found another crack. its a known defect in the white vx6900 by everyone other than verizon. yeah you all send us a refurb phone for a phone you should never have sent out originally. I got one year to play this game with vzw until my year is up. you should never have sold me a phone that continues to crack.

send your phone back to vzw and when you get the refurb, load the vzw and vahalla cab on it. you have to start from scratch with the "new" phone anyways and load all your aps on it.

Started typing a detailed response, and realized at paragraph 3 this isn't the place for that. Long story short: yes, the phone cases suck. HTC shouldn't have provided such cheap plastic when they supplied us the phones. Fact is every phone returned as deffective goes through a rigorous inspection/rebuild before it becomes someone elses refurb (you gotta recycle, these things are too expensive not to), and if the inspector gauges the phone as being physically damaged, the account holder is charged the full retail value of the replacement device that was shipped. That's black and white truth. I bought a Sprint Shell from ebay, took my phone apart, and swapped the white plastic for the touch paint Sprint casing. Now I got the Network and the cool black rubberized phone.

I am working on a kitchen based on 3.14 leak but this was just an experimental xip run without porting the .sys over from a new build. Link here if any one is interested and its built with big storage so it has 10mb more of storage room. ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/Drell...RUU_signed.rar

Does this still lock out your gps if you let customizations run? Or is it "fixed" like the ROM from Scrosler?

Now as you said I am onto using your unlocked kitchen. This is my final ppost in this thread since there is really no more to do.

Hi Leslie,

Steve ROM is going slow but sure. It will be the cleanest ROM anyone has seen. I am painstakenly removing all the extraneous apps that I dont consider to be part of a "clean" ROM, and even the registry entries that go with them. The goal is to have a ROM that can be flashed quickly, and doesnt just dump everything in \Windows directory. Any additions would be done by CAB, and even then the CABs will be tweaked to install in their own directory under Program Files.

Its alot to get done but in the end I am sure it will be great. How are things by you? GPS operational?

back to the case thing cause this sidethread got started here a few posts ago. vzwtechbill changed his case. so did some others but that would definitely void any vzw liability wouldnt vzwtechbill? the refurb vzw sent me had the "void" sticker over the screw missing from the back so I am assuming i could switch back my cracked case and send it back to vzw if i had other problems with it? those reading need to understand that changing the case manually could cause vzw to void the 1 year warranty.

Hi Steve- Found you on another thread and now just checking here saw your reply, thanks. I had gps going ok yesterday and day before but today no go no matter what I do. Tom Tom was great but lost it??? its a data connect thing, I think . I am 1 of a minority that wants GPS with no data what so ever. I was informed Tom Tom doesn't use data but uses the towers? but heard google uses only data so I deleted it. Have any suggestions? I am interested in how your rom goes. You may remember I let customizations run, then scrosler kindly made me a rom that I have on now that worked fine but gps functions quit. He wondered if it would work at all because I got a radio error when flashing. I left a post to scrosler but no word yet. My main interest is in having Tom Tom. Any input is appreciated. thanks leslie

(let me know if you want me to shift to other forum instead of here- GPS Hacked on VZW Leaked ROM - Full ROM with normal GPS )

Did you get my PM I sent you a couple days ago. I believe I listed the steps to get back to a level playing field for those who did allow customizations to run. If you dont have it let me know and I will put the list together again for you.

i would give my left nut for someone to do that for my phone just because i hate the white plastic to begin with.

speaking of phone issues, the screen itself is peeling up, has that happened to anyone else's?

Both my wife and I have had numerous problems with our XV6900's. The number of dropped and missed calls is unbelievable. It is a shame that verizscum is so far behind everyone else with an update. I believe this phone could be far better than it is currently. Were it not for the talented and brave hackers and programmers out there, these phones would S U C K a whole lot more.
