I had dharvey's vista black installed on my verizon 6900 for about a year now with no problems. I just upgraded to nfsfan's v13 rom. I flashed it 4 times, and my radio version is 3.42.30. I let the roms do their customizations each time, and on the 4th time I ran vzw carriers, and used codybear's faq for verizon setup. when I open internet explorer, says internet explorer up at the top, the screen pops up, and immediately closes out of the program. I installed opera. when I try to go to www.google.com, the phone tells me its opening up the cellular line. the dialog goes away, it the phone freezes. I have this same result when trying to use weather on the today page, as well as any other internet program. Any suggestions?

Whosdaman....I've downloaded and installed your rom. Good job on your rom, and I especially like the splash screens. I"m noticing alot of issues with the keyboard. I cannot change keyboards, even the ones provided with the os. Also, if i push Q, it inputs the number 1 and repeats. same thing with v, it inputs the parenthesis and continues it, even after closing the program and openening another. I have also been unable to install opera, it says the installation was unsuccessful. This is the same with S2U2
I would prefer to get NFSFAN's rom working. I like the today desktop as I have never been a fan of touchflo's desktop interface. There are a few other minor details that cause me to lean towards this rom.
Does anyone know what would cause a verizon 6900 to freeze when first starting a data connection on NFSFAN's rom?

I've been trying to upgrade since yesterday (from PDAVIET .13, which kept losing my email account and crashed iGo.)
Decided to try Bepe's ROM (really like the big key video dialer
Just installed and registered all my apps (over an hour:-( and restarted.
Now I am greeted with:
MainWind.cpp: 148
Unable connect to server
I get the exclamation point (no service,) I cannot register to ATT's network and the phone dialer doesn't come up.
I have an inkling, that it maybe the Network Wizard which I ran, but I might be wrong.
Oh, and after the restart, my email account just disappeared too:-(((
I had a similar problem with the Ultra Light WWE ROM based on Dopod 3.00.707.18. Is there a problem with all of the recent Dopod-based ROMs, or is it me?

I have the official Dopod SEA ROM and have no problems of any kind but I did have to enter the network/MMS settings to connect to the data network and send messages.
I think it is the Network Wizard. I just reinstalled everything again, then entered all the network settings manually. It works fine.
Before, i would get locked out of phone service after a reset or two, with the several Dopod-based ROMs I tried. And it seemed to happen shortly after running the Network Wizard. Updating the radio didn't help.
The only other possibility is that I opened up the Extended ROM with the Hermes utility, but I don't think I did it to all the ROMs.
I still got the disappearing email and network password thing, but tried to follow mUn's suggestion about disconnecting and soft-resetting, so we'll see if it works. Anyone with an answer why it keeps happening?
Frankly, I am a little miffed that these new Dopod ROMs are acting up on me. The old WM6 ROMs from mUn and LVSW were generally rock-solid....
Hey All,
I switched to the Rogers ROM from T-Mobile and I love how much smoother the system runs.
The only issue is I see, which is occuring more and more frequent is an error when I try and place a call
A screen pops up saying: "Error: Cannot complete the call, The signal may be unavailble or number is invalid. Verify the number or try again later"
It is quite annoying because it happens at random times, like right now.
I never had this issue with the t-mobile rom, so is anyone else having this issue?
D_D
::bump::
Am I really the only person with this problem?
Someone has to know what I'm talking about
You are not alone. I got the same issue. I also have had a big problem syncing to my exchange server. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it does not. I get an erro about the proxy and to contact my system admin person.
The phone not being able to place a call is really annoying though.
that is odd i have t-mobile dash and i have t-mobile service and i flashed my phone with so many roms and never had any prob like that tell me wt u did since u flashed ur phone
I just flashed the from T-mobile WM6 to Roger ROM, and that was it.
The phone and programs all work well, but the error comes up once in a while and requires that I restart the phone.
pretty weird huh?
yeah wt version of rogers rom are you using
CE OS 5.2.1238
Build 17745.0.2.3
Radio Version 4.1.13.47_02.98.90
RIL Version 2.002
i have the same version the way am doing it is am installing the allow ceritifcate from the rogers rom then am unlocking my phone throught jockey's way then i reboot it then i start the app that flashes your phone then after that i open the rogers rom file and then every thing goin on from there and it works fine bt if ur doing the same maybe something is wrong with your phone unless u have been changing any settings in the phone
No, I haven't been fooling around with any of the settings, and I'm pretty competent with messing with settings so I would know when I make a big uh-oh.
I was wondering should I just re-flash the phone.
Also, as anyone made any customizable ROM for the Dash?
yeah if the error comes up alot and it bugs try reflashing your phone if you have done that already and you still got that error try using the htc rom its as fast as the rogers maybe that one will work for you let me know if you need the htc rom
I have a Verizon Vogue and cannot get the GPS to work. it had the standard ROM on it out of the store then i upgraded it with the official WM6.1 ROM but i let the customizations run. a few weeks later i found a ROM from NFSFAN that i liked so i re-flashed my Vogue with the newer Alltel rom (to get the newer radio) but i didnt let the customizations run that time. i then used the unlocker 2.31 from coke (again not letting customizations run.) i then flashed NFSFAN's ROM. i cannot get the GPS to work. when i run GPSViewer it scans my ports and says it finds a GPS on com 4 at 4800 baud. it seems to successfully open the GPS but it never gets a satellite, i stood outside for 10-15min. i tried it with Google Maps and its never connects. i told Google maps to use windows settings for the GPS, also i tried to tell Google Maps to use Com 4 at 4800 baud and eventually it says no GPS found. i even followed a guide telling me how to use QPST to modify the GPS settings including the ip to the GPS server. any help would be greatly apreciated. i would really like to use Google Navigator from PDAfun.

yeah, you and alot of other people, some are reporting that VZW has locked down the aGPS/GPS access and found all the hacks and other custom settings and blocked it so it would seem that they are enforcing the $10/moth GPS plan as some are stating that they signed up and got the GPS back
Others of course are saying that switching the port in the registry from 8888 to 8889 works for a while then you have to change it back to get it to work again as well...
Im not on VZW so I couldnt be positive about any of it, just from what Im reading from users on VZW reporting stuff

hey thanks man, i will give that a try. but first i just want to make sure that downgrading the radio will even work and/or wont brick my phone. this is assuming those verizon ROMs do include the radio. also, do i just start step 1 from where i am now with the newer radio and custom ROM currently flashed?

The whole problem is that you let the customizations run in the first place. You need to flash a pre non-GPS ROM & radio. I would not have upgraded to the Alltel Radio as I don't believe that there is really any benefit. This is unless you know people in your geographic region have had success upgrading their radio.
Yes Start with Step #1
When you get to step #4 like it says don't let the customizations run. At this point your GPS should be functioning. You'll need to download the Holux GPS Viewer or the HTC one. Make sure that your phone location setting is turned on & not set for 911. setting--->phone--->services tab---> location setting ---> get settings button with one of these Gps viewers you should be able to get a lock it may take awhile. As long as you start to see red satellite dots you are probably good to go. This means that he GPS is functioning.
You can probably skip the last step if all else goes well.
Good Luck!
wiki works but
when I went through it at the first step. the phone kept on rebooting right after alignment. freaked out a lil bit. But it did stabilize. just keep the sd card out of the phone.

keeping the sd card out of the phone is KEY - after alllll the things i tried, i went back to http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS and ran through it without the SD card in . . . flashed NFSFAN's windows 6.5 v5 ROM, fired up GPS Viewer and for the first time in AGES saw the red satellite dots . . . a few soft resets later and I'm getting 6-7 sats locked on from inside my work!

How would I go about re-locking? I am still new at this. Did you follow the wiki word for word? it worked for me aside from the sd card that I found out the hard way.

Once you have your phone unlocked with 2.31 you want to leave it unlocked because otherwise there is a good chance your GPS will not work.
ok i finnaly got my phones gps to work this is what i did reset the pri with the stock rom with the 1.30 radio then updated the radio from bell. No gps hacks were need i get a lock with 7 sat. in about 10 sec. o yea im using my own custom rom.
Tried it all, guess we are going to have to settle
I too have a VZW xv6900 that used to have an awesome GPS, that is now not so awesome. I have tried all the suggestions - from using the telus agps server, switching the ports, using the qpst fix for both vzw and telus, valhalla, removing the memory card, standing on one foot and yelling at it and what it seems to boil down to is no aGPS for vzw users.
Sure you can make the gps work standalone with no aGPS by changing the SUPL gps mode regkey to 2 instead of 4, but it's slower to get fix, doesn't work in buildings very well, and overall crappy compared to what we used to have - which I think is what most people have done (either intentionally or unintentionally) when they say they got it to work.
If anyone has figured out a way to get aGPS working on VZW I would love to hear it... I really miss those instant locks
I did not have to run QPST at all. I made the mistake of running the updated VZW rom which locks gps. Followed steps from the WIKI and flashed NFSFANs newest ROM turned my phone location setting on and I'm picking up satellites quickly.

Hi - while trying to install Skype, the entire OS simply crashed. The phone does switches on but no longer finds the OS. Hence, I have no way to get an ActiveSync connection. Is there any way to install a clean O/S onto it?
Thanks in advance,
First step take your time to read the sticky located at the top of forum..
You could try an hard-reset and if all else fails flash stock ROM via bootloader, then update to ROM of choice.
Error 300
Thanks. I did. Particularly the "unbricking instructions post" from ookba.
The issue is that my Dash does not even start up. Hence, there is no way for me to get an active sync connection.
Current Status:
- phone can be started by pressing the Camera key and Power, which shows the red-green-blue screen
- phone can then be connected to the PC via a USB connection. I hear the ba-bing, but the phone does/will not establish an Active Sync (which makes sense)
- downloaded the TMO official ROM from the TMO site which is a WM6. Now, I know my phone did not previously have WM6. It probably had WM5.x but I cannot find the SHIPPED ROM anywhere.
- when I tried the RRU from TMO WM6 ROM, I got through all the way to upgrading. At which point, the mobile screen went to a white/grey with status bar stuck at 0%. But the PC application crashed and gave an error 300.
repeated the same with Kavana's ROM and the same issue.
I am looking through the forums for error 300 but most solutions seems to require an Active Sync connection. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
have you tried hard reset? thats your best option
like stylez said, find the stock rom that was already on your phone and flash that.
i know you said you cant find it but it'll be online somewhere
look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726&highlight=official+roms
The key here is that you find your original stock rom, I had the same issue a while ago and took some time to get my stock rom in the web, since the forum didn't have it. I found it in the rapidshare library http://rapidlibrary.com/index.php?q=rapidshare+library, searching under HTC s621 rom. Additionally, have u try method # 3 in the unbricking tutorial? It worked for me.
I've had my Tilt 2 for about a month now. I've tried 4 or 5 different ROMs now, but i've come across a problem all of a sudden that wasn't fixed by a hard reset or flashing the stock ROM back. The phone all of a sudden doesn't work! I can still send and recieve text messages just fine, but the phone doesn't work. It says "Dialing...," sits there silent for a few seconds, then beeps 3 times and goes back to my recent calls list.
Beyond this, I have also not been able to get the text message announcements to work on any ROM except for the stock AT&T ROM. I get the same result with all of them, having tried combonations of several different ROMs and three different copies of MSVC. Now matter how I try MSVC will announce my emails, but not my text messages, which happens to be the exact opposite of what I want. Anyone know how to fix this? A registry edit, maybe?
Also, I have tried several different copies of HTC QuichGPS on these cooked ROMs and they all give me an error when I try to run the program. It says something to the effect of "certificate not being signed...one or more missing components..." Is there a particular version that I need to install, or is Advanced Config not really turning off the certificate security?
Any help with any of these problems would be greatly appreciated, the phone in particular being a higher priority of course. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

No, not yet. I was using the Black ROM. had other issues, so switched to another ROM, then phone went out, so i went back to the stock ROM. i don't remember which one, but one of the ROMs flashed a radio, then the stock ROM flashed a radio again when i reverted back to it. i'm at work. is there anywhere i can get a new radio that IS NOT from a filesharing site? my work computer won't let me visit filesharing sites.
