I used to use OMJs ROM on my Touch but I want to stick with the VZW 6.1 update, however the one thing I want to put back on the 6900 is ICS. I know there is an ICS fix, but is there a way to put the Internet Connection option back at the bottom of the Communications menu?

Thanks in advance!

First I am not a total noob. I have flashed my AT&T 3125 & 8525, Dell Axim, & Tilt.

I was forced to switch to Verizon for work purposes which I hate but its what I am stuck with. My goal is to only carry one device. I just received my VW Vogue yester day & it still has WM6 installed.

Boot Loader Screen:
SLP-0.36.0000
CPLD-3

Device Info:
Rom Version: 1.15.605.14
Rom Date: 03/10/08
Radio Version: 1.60.30

I have done a lot of reading about how to unlock the GPS on XDA Developers, ppchaven, & here to. I want the simplest process.

If I flash this rom & let the customizations run. Then install the Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab I should in theory be able to use the GPS with TomTom.

RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship.ex eexe is the Rom referenced in this post. Can someone explain what the difference is between this one & RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_Ship. Is it just the radio?

I'm at loggerheads with the Valhalla install. I have just run the official Verizon ROM to 6.1, letting customization run. Afterward i installed the GPSServer.cab and did a soft reset. After confirming that the device's GPS settings were correct I attempted to load GPS in Google Maps and the device returned an error saying no GPS device is found. I tried re-installing Valhalla and got a message that the file couldn't be overwritten. Then I manually deleted the GPSServer folder in Program Files. Then I tried running the Valhalla Uninstaller, which said it was unsuccessful. Then I went into Settings/Remove Programs, where the device said it was "partially unsuccessful" with the removal. After several soft resets I can't even re-install the Valhalla CAB; I get a message saying the install was unsuccessful. I can't think of anything else to do other than MANUALLY remove this application. How do I do this?

NEVER MIND -- I GUESS THE "UNSUCCESSFUL" MESSAGES WERE INACCURATE. GPS WORKS FINE!

the .77 i believe is the leaked rom for verizon, whereas the .78 file is the official verizon release.

... and .78 is apparently the one that makes it more difficult to unlock GPS... I mean the ROM with the .78 Radio, not the Radio itself.

Yes and no. I think .78 will require you to do this.

However, that being said, I'm running the 3.37.78 radio and GPS works just fine. DrEllisDee extracted the Verizon radio from the official Verizon ROM and put it in a stand-alone CAB which I used.

Hi All, I've read through this thread--all a bit mind boggling, so please bear with me

I'm currently running NFSFAN's 1.04 M2D ROM on my XV6900, but I'd like to flash to this latest 'official' Verizon updated ROM and also retain my GPS functionality. Will I be OK just running the Verizon official release ROM --> allowing customization to run --> running 'Valhalla' GPS fix?

Here's what I've done to my phone so far:
IamCokeMan's Vogue unlocker, 3.21
Sprint update w/ 3.42.3 radio
NFSFAN's VZW 1.04 M2D custom ROM

Many thanks for any advice!
