Walk me through unlocking, radioing and roming

[Tinkerbell]

Sorry I was not around in your time of distress... Glad you got it figured out there.

The only reason I went with DCD rather than testing the new Tinkerbell rom, is the ability to turn off Data in the DCD rom.
This is also the reason I have kept this phone for 4 years...because I like Verizon service, but their requirement that any "smart phone" must pay for a data plan is stupid. Therefor I have intentionally kept my mogul, to grandfather it in under the "no data plan" rule. As far as I know the mogul/6800 was the last phone verizon would allow you to have that was a smart phone but did not require data. If anyone knows anything different, I'm all ears.

I see... well, since you are the second person asking for a data switch, I am going to look into putting that option back in. Look for it in the next Tinkerbell Titan Rom release! =)

That switch goes in, I'll personally trial your rom, (not that plenty of others aren't already). I know I must sound like a reject not having the internet on my phone these days (how do I live?!?) but seriously, I am online all day at work, and all night at home, I don't need the net on my hip at the store, at the gym, or at a restaurant

I am needing a Radio ROM - GPS. I am not finding one to download. All links seem dead. Radio version that I have installed is: 1.30.60. I tried installing Tink before the Radio Rom and now stuck in a loop. I am able to still get to the bootloader though. So, now I just need the correct Radio ROM???

Thanks,
Sam

Nevermind - Google is my friend!!!
