Cussed at computer to take and...................... program found device, uploaded without any problems. Finally, I have GPS like Samsung wanted us to. Thanks to all who helped me get this up and running. Major thanks to those who contribute to the hack/modifying our phones you guys rock.

hmm,, did you do anything different, besides cursing at the computer?

Ah, crap... Tried to d/l the ROM 3 times now with the same results - the phone will not connect to Verizon. Essentially used Wireless Manager to turn on phone, which will never turn on. Despite what others have said, the phone seems slower, almost like i'm out of mem. And when I go to the Version Info page under the System menu, it lists "N/A" for ROM vers, Modem vers, H/W Vers, Prl Vers and WDC. WLAN Mac is 00b6c9779a6.

Any help, guys? Thanks in advance.

Reflash

WTF...reflashed a 4th time. Same results so far - the phone now plays the 3 tones when I try to turn on the phone, but still won't connect to VZW. Version info now displays ROM S:i910.1.0V.CC20.20961, BT Mac 00233ac544fa, WLAN Mac 000b6c9779a6. Everything else is "N/A". Will try again...

Oh, and all files came from idoctor's links and I have been following the install pdf there to a T.

Update - flashed the phone another 8 times or so and still stuck at this juncture. Version info went back to N/A for all for a while, but just got it back to the info above without doing anything, really. Guess i'll take it back to Verizon tomorrow to see if they can flash it back to factory spec. I just don't get it...

I just found in another reply about radio rom that you can dial *22801 for verizon i tried it, it worked. *22803 is for sprint I am assuming you dialed *228 option 1 and check to see if your network settings are right. If that does not work Check to see what your esn number is and try option 3 i think, or open up an account on verizon .com and set up your account and manually try it that way.

Thanks for the response. I did try dialing *228 to reprogram the phone. It will not make an outgoing call. It's like it will not connect to any towers.

here's a long shot but try to dl the Rom from a different mirror. It almost sounds like you have a corrupted img

you need a new phone. I had the same problem...phone kept disconnecting and version said n/a...even after reflashing did the same and I could get it to work for short periods by taking the battery out for like a half hour, but got a warranty replacement and now I am all good.

Are you trying to flash CC20? Or one of the later ROMs?

I just came back to this thread so if I missed an earlier post forgive me. You must flash CC20 first or you will have symptoms similar to those you're having.

Edit: If you take your phone in and they find you have flashed you will be SOL. If you got the phone from a store you might want to brick it first. If you got it online you can have a replacement sent no charge.

I am trying to flash CC20. I have downloaded it 4 times from 2 different hosts. Messed with it a little more last night, but no new updates. I'm trying two more things before I resort to contacting Verizon (computer with USB 2.0 port and different UMDL version). Luckily, I did buy it online in November when it first came out and have a warranty on it.

Thanks for everyone's help (or lack thereof so far!).
