Uscc 6800 Gps, Custom Roms, Downgrading Guide

I was able to successfully flash my phone, after freaking out that I broke it because it got stuck on the bootloader. The GPS featuring is really amazing, some other people have said it but US Cellular could use that as a huge selling point. I personally found that the 20270 worked better for me than the one recommended, but I guess you just have to kinda play around with all of them. I might have added slightly too much to that one as it was my first. Anyways, really just want to say thank you to Maverick for writing this post up, I would have never done it otherwise. One other thing, did anyone figure out how to get the Cellsouth banner off? I don't really think it is a problem but just a little annoying. In EPST it says US Cellular and I have tried to change it in the registry so a little confused, but I love the phone just that much more now that it has GPS and threaded text messaging!

Yeah, the GPS totally rules. As far as the Cellsouth banner, the solution is in this thread.. read a few pages or so before this one.. you have to use the QPST program, and YES, it DOES change the name for good. Meaning that subsequent flashes don't change it back.. I'm thinkin' it must've been in the radio rom upgrade. HAVING SAID THAT... I did NOT change mine to US Cellular.. I changed it to a nick name I usually give my phones heh. After all, why make it say US Cellular when I can make it say whatever I want!
