quote you are a lifesaver. It seems to be working. I'm not sure if this stays on topic, but i was reading your steps and I still cant figure out what I did to get into this mess. I want to install the 6.1 ROM or the new ROM with GPS was my problem the wrong unlocker?

Yeah .. that is what is sounded like for sure.

Yup that answered my question. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

Should this thread be re-named "First Timers - An easy guide for upgrading to custom roms" or something. I would hate for a newbee to think he has to do all of that just to upgrade to the latest carrier rom.

Use this guide to assist you. On step 6 I have included a couple of links
to some very popular and very good roms that now are running with WM6.1.

Is there something else you need help with that I haven't covered?
Let me know.

Have fun!

Thank you!!! this thread is exactly what I needed.

One question...I have successfully got 3.16 up and running, I rebooted my pc, and when I run the unlocker everything goes good until remove and insert the usb cable. I can't activesync again when my phone is in the bootloader. Is it okay to still run the unlocker without an activesync connection? I've tried multiple times and rebooted my pc and phone.

I had this problem when I was trying to unlock the stock ROM as well.

Thanks again.

I have VZW, and I depend on Wireless Sync for contacts, notes, appointments, etc. If I install a custom rom, will delete Wireless Sync that Verizon provides?
Thank you for all your help!

great thread!

you know what would make it perfect is a "live" (updated) list of the official stock roms released from each carrier so that people have a sure-fire means to revert to stock if they decide this is not gonna work out.

i think first-timers will be reassured knowing the stock roms are easily found...
