Tried to unlock xv6900 plZ help

Vaness99 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-21-2008, 02:46 AM

I just got my new phone and I wanted to get the GPS on it. I followed instructions on how to unlock it and when I got to the GPS thing it said "at you own risk" "only use if instructions are followed exactly". So I'm freaked out because I don't want to go further and I regret ever doing anything. I used the cokeman unlocker stuff. I think I messed it up. When the phone idles off I can't use the power button to power it back on. I have to use the reset every time. Is there a way to undo everything. How can I go back to stock SPL? I'm a girl and I thinks went way over my head doing this stuff. Plz plz help. Help I'm new to all this.
P.S when I check the rainbow screen it says SPL-2.31.coke CPLD-3

If you got to the 2.31.coke screen your fine. You'll want to flash your radio first, which you can get here http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?...ue%2Fradios%2F then flash a rom and you should be all set.

I have had good luck with 3.42.50.

Thanks so much for the reply. I will do that. But is there a way to just undo everything? I found that there is an official upgrade and would like to do it that way instead. If I return it to verizon and say it's not working will they be able to know I tried to hack it and refuse to take it??

I didn't see 3.43.50 listed under roms, I used 3.1.1.exe

the 3.42.50 is the radio. when you click on that link you want to chose the vogue directory, then the radios directory, then the vogue radio rom 3.42.50.
It not as big of a deal as you might think. You can do it.

as far as the actual rom to flash here is a good starter one for ya. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=37462.

If your not quite sure what to do with the radio extract the VOGUIMG.NBH on the main of your storage card, pop it in your phone when your on the tri colored screen and it will load itself. After that erase VOGUIMG.NBH from your storage card and flash your rom.

Yeah I looked it the wrong folder. I hit another bump in the road though. I downloaded the radio, unzipped it but I can't run it. The file says vogueimg.nbh. I've never even heard of a .nbh file. I'm very close on breaking down because I feel like I messed up my new phone. Thanks for your patience. Please stay on with me.
