Verizon VX6900 - Altell ROM

[darnoc]

Hi, I flashed my 6900 to OMJ's latest ROM. I wasn't able to soft restart on the customizations so that went through. Had an issue with my phone authentication, but verizon customer service was able to fix that. So here's my outstanding issues thus far, the OS locks up often, my GPS is not working. Tried google maps and says my handset is not compatible with My locator. Tried Live Search and says GPS is not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a way I can revert back to the Verizon image?

Did you do it the way specified here:

aka get it to cokes 2.31 bootloader, flash to alltel rom, then to your custom one aka OMJs? You said you couldnt reset during the customizatons.... I dont think it matters for the customizations for the 2nd custom rom u add. but the 1st alltel one it seems like you must softreset there.

Not sure about reverting to original image.
i see this about unbricking your phone

and this about stock roms

(although reading towards the end im not sure youll want to do that. as you have a 3.xx radio and i heard reverting back to a stock rom that does 1.xx radio isnt recommended. ). btw thats not official stock rom, its a dump so not exact as factory rom i think. id prob move to the alltel, vista, or OMJ rom.

might want to wait until the smart cellphone peeps answer your question better. might want to ask in those threads as well.

Im running OMJ's currently and compared to ghettoryders's vista700, they both have their strengths. both have been stable. OMJs GPS functionality worked alot better for me. today it locked on out of 15 times i tested.... 4 times within 30 seconds, 4 times within 1 minute. 3 times within 5 minutes. 2 times within 15minutes. 2 times too long. so waited till i got home. i still have to test it more but my data usage past 1.5 weeks has been 130$ and on my family phone plan and i am running 230$ lol. i just found out lol. i saw on verizonwireless.com for my phone that adding the unlimited data is 45$ a month versus some peeps who say they are getting $30 a month. Some claim to get the 30$ but i dunno. i havent seen the price offered? anyone know?

i have 30$ unlimited plan.. its a semi-new plan so ask about it to customer service or whomever

Thanks. Heard its was $30 when bought online when it first came out. $45 now. One thing I noticed about the OMJ also is that it drains my battery fairly quick. Other's have posted that as well. I'll try and reflash with just the alltel and see what happens. Yes, I saw the post about rolling back to the original OEM is not recommended. Do you know if the info will be the same as before, so I can still be under warranty?

not sure, Can you try flashing to one of the custom stable roms like OMJ or ghettoryder's one and see what happens?

Hey Guys, I flashed the alltel rom and still can't lock up. I have the gps viewer and it says it found the gps on com4 at 4800. I just can't seem to get a sat. Is there another program i'm missing?
