I did RTFM, but im changing carrier so no go for me. I tried searching but no real luck so far on figuring out how to get data again. Could you suggest a search string?

Fear not .... I was in the same boat just a couple of days ago. Thanks to this thread, I am now back in operation.

Also, I installed GPSToday, and with my cooked firmware based upon the GPS 3.02, I got a lock in less than 15 seconds. I also tried a run with my car, and the speed reporting is very accurate, and the updating is acurate too. Very pleased with new firmware and radio. Much faster, and tottaly worth to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1.

Any news on Windows Mobile 7?

If all you want is WM 6.1, just download the legitimate HTC Touch ROM update for Bell from HTC (http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloa...act=sd&cat=all)

GPS also works some of the time with that. I've found it more reliable if you set a specific COM Port for GPS in Google Maps Settings and the same program access port in Windows Settings>System>External GPS

Look for the Vogue Unlocker first and then follow the steps during installation. You'll find it here, and if you especially want GPS, 2.31 unlocker is the best choice for you. After you installed the unlocker to your xv6900, choose any Vogue ROM from the upgrades sub-forum to download and then install, but this is what looks really good.
