Verizon - Official WM 6.1 Update

[trance2002]

I’ve been lurking on these boards for several months and the information is great. I have done a lot of tweaks like cube mods, wisebar themes, regedits but had not quite worked up the nerve for a ROM flash. Now that this VZW one is available I think I’m ready to give it ago. Most of the howto threads are centered on unlocking, upgrading sprint radios and custom roms all of which I have read in detail. Since most of that doesn’t apply here I’d just like a sanity check before I proceed. I am running the stock VZW ROM and my plan is as follows.

• Back up all contacts, data, install cabs, etc
• Hard reset
• run “RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship.e xe” from my PC and let all customizations run
• Soft reset or hard? Not sure here…
• Be prepared to reauth the phone using *228 option 1, reset, *228 option 2
• install “Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab”
• Do QPST agps fixes if necessary
• Then back to setting up my phone how I like it.

Did I skip anything?

• run “RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship .exe” from my PC and let all customizations run (if you let cust run be aware it locks down the GPS)
• Soft reset or hard? Not sure here… (Will reboot on its own)
• Be prepared to reauth the phone using *228 option 1, reset, *228 option 2
• install “Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab”
• Do QPST agps fixes if necessary (Not needed if you use Valhalla)
• Then back to setting up my phone how I like it.

I have added my tweaks to your list. You shouldnt have to hard reset after anything.

if this is a verizon phone you don't need the unlocker. my phone upgraded fine and gps is working after install of the vahalla cab (even with the customizations running).

Not sure about this but I think the unlocker allows you to flash custom ROMs.

Then you dont need to unlock. I just do it so it gives me the most flexibility.
