This is a new ROM for the Verizon 6900.
I hope all the talented chefs on this board can put this to good use.

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Is this official? Where did you find this? Is this posted on HTC.com....well ill know in a sec lol

XDA I'm betting?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Also, is this safe to run on Sprint Phone? Meaning can I flash it and soft reset before customs and my phone will still be sprint?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

its not from HTC site! its not release for poblic yet

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I found that out, acouple minutes ago, thx though!

it's a leak of the next update for Verizon

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Where did you find this? When is it going to be released officially?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

ok, I just finished update my phone with Verizon, I did not let the customization run. I just need to see how is the GPS work witht his release. the new thing I saw text messaging icon under programes..


**update**
I'm going back to Bell rom again, this pice of S***t does not work good it just freez every time I boot the phone.

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Whats the story with the radio in this rom, is it Rev A and GPS enabled?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I'm also interested... Has anyone successfully tested this out? I'm not in the position to flash to a rom that will make my phone implode :mrgreen: (it's a work phone)...


if this is for real, and works well... I think I might pass out with excitement...

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I flashed it last night after I fixed it "My Way". :) Worked fine for me. My versions can be found in my sig. I have a Diamond and Manila2D Themed version, based off this winmo 19212 build.

For those that aren't aware, I replace the keyboard, kill all the provisioned crap, skin it, then upload a flashable rom, and an OEM package so you can add your own stuff. You verizon users out there, what else should I "fix"? Here is what I have:

RSTG_Verizon_Dia_OEM_V1.41-=--=-=- RSTG_Verizon_M2D_OEM_v2.14

RSTG_Verizon_Dia_NBH_v1.41-=-=-=--=-=- RSTG_Verizon_M2D_NBH_v2.141

Re: New vogue test rom
 

thanks for the update! have you tryed the GPS yet? what the different over all over Bell ROM?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Looks tempting... So, I am a complete newb as far as flashing roms... I know that the usual process is something like:

1) Unlock with Imcokeman
2) Update radio with ... rom
3) Flash with custom rom

So if I was going to go from my stock Verizon rom to this leaked one... would the process be:

1) Unlock with Imcokeman
2) Update radio with leaked Verizon rom

Re: New vogue test rom
 

If you have a Verizon Phone the only step you need is

Flash ROM

Re: New vogue test rom
 

but guys what do you think about the redio?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Thanks.... I think I will have to try this out later on this evening... :headbang:

Re: New vogue test rom
 

The Radio is GPS enabled....I've tested it and it has locks within 10 seconds....idk if the ROM has aGPS enabled already though

Version Radio for Verizon: 3.37.77
Sprint's: 3.42.??

Re: New vogue test rom
 

this is a fast and stable rom, i cant't gps to work

Re: New vogue test rom
 

with me this release freez every time I boot my phone!

@Whosdaman

yes the redio different from bell

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Yea, the Verizon rom is very unstable with me....maybe it's a Verizon thing?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I'm with Verizon and I will pass on this one

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Hmmm... Fast and stable sound nice. No gps working, might be a buzz-kill...

Re: New vogue test rom
 

No gps?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I took the plunge and flashed...

I had to call Verizon to reauthenticat emy phone... No biggie. It is pretty fast (1790 kbit/sec with 3 bars of service). I haven't figured out the GPS yet (if it really did activate it). I did the aGPS fix on xda-developers, still can't get Google maps to get a fix. Is there a program to "prime the GPS" ? Or something... Ideas?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Yea its really fast, I couldn't get GPS to work as well, went back to the Bell rom and now I cant get GPS to work on that 1 as well.

Re: New vogue test rom
 

Yea... I'm sure I will get over it (the GPS)... I did have somethign weird happen though... after installing HTC Home (in prep for HTC customizer) the phone locked up (durring the restart process). It would freeze after the WM 6.1 splash screen. Had to hard-reset, and run *228 (option 1) to get the phone working again. If it does this to me again, I might run a custome rom on top of this radio. Should work, right?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I was thinking... Did you flash the bell rom on top of the Verizon radio? If so, maybe the Verizon radio doesn't really have the GPS unlocked.

Re: New vogue test rom
 

This is a test ROM from Verizon, not an official release.
I am sorry I made it sound like it was official.

GPS is locked down by Verizon, you need to know the secret Verizon GPS api with the right username/password to use it.

I don't know if ie6 is actually in this rom, maybe only the radio is useful...

Re: New vogue test rom
 

No worries... I am hoping that this is a clue that Verizon is coming out with a new Official ROM soon... I love the speed in this test one... even if the GPS is locked down.

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I installed VZ Navigater but when I called Tech Support They couldn't put it on my account, they said my devise didn't support it, I guess because they didn't release the official rom yet.

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I think the Verizon Radio can only be used with VZ Navigater,

Re: New vogue test rom
 

The radio for this rom is outdated....3.42.30 or .50 acculy works

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I'm getting great data speeds and the signal is the best i've had, I just can't get GPS to work

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I did post this issue in post #7 about freezing

Re: New vogue test rom
 

there is a parallel thread on 6.5 on this. i suspect vzw released this to get it beta tested on here and xda. they will try to lock out the gps so they can milk their navigator service.

the rumor was the official release is due by end of this month so i suspect this is step one ("release" a leak then get the experts here and xda to beta test bugs and cheats) then do some last minute cleanups and lockdowns (gps) before the "official" release). think of how much money they save by using your free expertise. you all are worth a boatload for your work and they get it for free.

as for vzw reauthentication i find that every time i do a hard reset i have to get reauthenticated on vzw by calling a tech support person. they always ask why as if it is their business. so a flash of new rom may cause the same kick off of the network? anyone with a cooked rom on vzw had to reauthenticate after installing a cooked rom? everytime you flash with a cooked rom?

i suspect vzw is trying to stay ahead of the hacks. maybe one day they will realize they cant.

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I installed this ROM about two hours ago and have had no problems. My xv6900 seems snappier, and I have noticed increased speed with certain third party applications such as business contact manager, S2U2, and HHC. I need to find out for sure if the gps is locked to vznavigator only, and if so how to unlock it.

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I like the Rom alot but now I have no GPS, and when I flash back to the Bell rom I can't get GPS to work on it now, even after using the aGPS Fix method

Re: New vogue test rom
 

I did the same, i did the same I update to Verizon then re-flash my phone to Bell and I still can lock with my GPS undoor

Re: New vogue test rom
 

So your GPS is working with the Bell Rom correct?

Re: New vogue test rom
 

yes its working corrent! i have VZW 1.04 custom rom

Re: New vogue test rom
 

What radio, and did you do the agps fix?
