[djdafreund]

Mine is showing-
TITA100
SPL-2.07.0000
CPLD-9

I am guessing i need to unlock it then? Is unlocking that hard if your pretty phone saavy, and computer saavy? I would REALLY love to start playing around with this one if your ok with further help pretty please.

"1-Unlock Phone (certificate security disabled) rev.1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1001 = 2
-> Change the value data from 2 to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1005 = 16
-> Change the value data from 16 to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128
-> Change the value data from 128 to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
-> Add new value "0000101b": Dword = 1
Close registry editor and soft reboot."

if this is correct.

Oh man, thanks for that link. Reading it now, that should hopefully do the trick. And thanks for your help. It never goes unnoticed.

Edit- Ah shoot. 32bit OS's only. Man, i love it. LOL. Both my Vista Ult and Win7 test are 64bit. Shoot. Looks like i will try the nueSPL method and run it from the phone directly.

Oh, you betcha!!!!! Didn't know about that, still kind of new to these forums here. Will definitely do that. I now have 6.5 on my mogul. Working good too. MIGHTY different, but i'll get used to the whole new layout. It's worth it.

What an excellent OS, WM 6.5 is running smooth on my verizon 6800. I used ppc geeks kitchen to install. Microsoft couldn't have done a better job streamliing the touch engine for this OS. I am having trouble getting the buttons to recognize the correct programs. That seems to be the only glitch. Battery power is going well and holds a charge for atleast 2 days without a recharge and using the phone infrequently. Tied with icontact, the finger friendly action makes this a complete user friendly touch phone. I thought i wouldn't like the missing start menu but now I believe the xclusion of that makes functionality much much better. I am still having trouble getting GPS to sonnect, I do not have a data plan and have it blocked so gps lock tales time, but I cannot get a lock at all so I am going to try the telnet registry tweeks posted here. The only REAL problem I am having is the 6.5 OS is very bloated giving problems using large proggys like garmin xt, but stripping programs I do not use (I would like to have them just because), but taking out voice command may be a solution as I really don't use it. I would like to thank the communities here and other places for the Excellent work helping me make my 6800 function like a new machine and quite personally making my phone function like it should. Crudos, Jstraw

My ROM avaliable for download is a clean 6.5 ROM. Meaning nothing but the essentials is on the ROM itself. I like starting out fresh.

GPS is confirmed to work, i have TomTom working perfectly.

The rom in this post is just a bare bones for the official release. If you want apps then you need to cook in the kitchen or install cabs. No one has released one(for official release) loaded yet to my knowledge. Office does work though.
