Manana · #1 (**permalink**) 08-05-2009, 05:26 PM

I have a verizon xv6900 that came with 6.1. Im really new at this so sorry if these have been asked but please bear with me. If i use the v13 of the 6.5 can i just download it? is there a faq for this because i dont want to brick my phone. And if i upgrade, will everything work as normal? will my data block still be on? very nooby questions im sorry. Thanks in advance.

Go here for Unlocking phone :

And to flash have SD Card 2GB or less, format to FAT32. Download NSF rom extraxt signed.nbh file to sd card, rename to VOGUIMG.NBH Place SD Card in phone, place in bootloader, load rom. Or you can do it via activesync. SD method is easiest for me.

personally im kinda knew overall but have had a pda forever. I was iffy on flashing a new rom but really wanted the 6.5 so i just dove into it. get the unlocker and unlock your phone first. then just sync up your phone to Active Sync and download the RRU for whatever rom you want to try and follow the directions on the screen. The toughest part of it all was unlocking but if ya follow the directions to the tee then youll be fine. I have been using JT's 21806 rom and it has a link to get the 2.31 Unlocker and its really not that hard. A nice thing for JTs roms also is that its set for Verizon automatically so you dont have to download any carrier cabs. It definatly made my Verizon XV6900 more than the phone i changed from and better ( i changed from an alltel 6900 to this verizon one which was a shell of what the alltel one was because verizon left out the extras but this site is amazing to find whatever you wanted for this great divice ).. I hope this helps some for ya, just dive in and do it. Just beware youll get addicted trying new roms.
