I flashed it the 1-22 last night, it seems identical to the 12-28. Which is a bummer. I ditched that one because i couldnt get the pic mail to work. So it looks like I'll be going back to 10-21. Oh well.

Thanks Colonel for all you do. Its good to be with you in Mogulland.

LMAO. How can you flash something you do not have the password for. Hilarious.

Password... What?
WTF? Be nice Naigaboy.
This used to be a happy community of people helping people. What gives?

It downloaded fine, moved it to RUU folder, no password needed. I don't get it. Granted it was 1am PST when i did it.

Who knows, thanks for the slap upside the head.

Its not a slap upside the head. Its just the truth. The rom is a test rom for certain ppl to test with, hence y it was passworded. Just because you have never seen me post anything in Titan forum doesnt mean I do not have an idea of what is going on here. I am a world of help for those who actually know me. (guess i will stop toothing my own horn here). I can vouch that the new rom (verizon rom) in cols folder is completely different from the rom back 12/28 which was actually a sprint rom. so if u flashed both, there is something obviously wrong there.
Before anybody tries to PM me for the password, the ppl that were needed to test it have already been given the password and new roms will be released soon for some carriers. Please dont ask for when either. We are working hard to accommodate as many carriers as possible.

BTW, just to prove it was passworded, i wonder y this thread was started.

Again, firegeek not trying to down you or anything as such. It was just that you commented on a rom that you didnt flash and thats how wrong information spreads. I would never have even bothered posting if not for that.

If I crack the password, can I post it?

My guess is hold off. I am sure it is password protected to protect whoever downloads it if there is something wrong with it. Not to mention the many people that would download it and PM the folks trying to get a Final Release or post messages asking why this or that doesn't work or why this or that did/didn't get included. Work with what is out there, and there is plenty. =) And donate to those working on it if to help 'em out.

The VZW file in the Colonels folder was indeed passworded, here's the pic of it in the RAR( notice the asterisk).... Doesn't matter though.... I'm very new to this world of PPC but I am learning.... I only hope people don't give up on people like me because we ask what is considered "dumb or ignorant" questions. I try like hell to research any question I have before begging for help, so please try to be tolerant of less knowledgeable folks, ie: ME.....

Thx for all the previous posts that have helped me out so far and all the hard work that the ROM makers put in.... It is appreciated....

Well, i did not flash a rom that was passworded. I flashed the 1-22 sprint rom, not the vw rom. I did not need a password, it works great for the most part. I love colonels roms, have for quite awhile now.

I commented on a rom that i DID flash. Im not a forum newbee, not a rom flashing newbee, maybe a typing newbee, but thats a different subject.

I'm not downing you Naigaboy, you are a moderator, that means a lot to me. I appreciate all you do for us. It just struck me wrong, that you would attack me for making a valid comment, I did not try to hijack a thread, course, probably am now, thats how these things start I guess.

So again, thank you for being here, I love this community, love this phone, even better than my Apache, love Colonels roms... enough love?

I installed the 1-22 rom also, but it seems the same as the 12-28 rom. Looks great, but still a little unstable for me to use. I have issues answering calls with this rom and had a few lock-ups. Chad

On a side note, I did flash the Colonels latest sprint rom to my XV6800..... holy crap - this was the 1st Colonel rom i used.... AWESOME.... If the Verizon Rom is anything like this, I'm going to be in heaven...... So far no issues using this ROM, but I'm a little uneasy....

Is there an update to the Colonels VZW Rom??? How long before the testers are done and us regular pleebs can use it....

Thx Colonel & his merry band of testers.....
